Dublin, Ireland and Trevose, Pa., February 25, 2020 – Strongbridge Biopharma plc, (Nasdaq: SBBP), a global commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapies for rare diseases with significant unmet needs, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019. 

 

“We are pleased with the continued revenue growth of KEVEYIS® (dichlorphenamide) in 2019, which resulted in a positive and growing contribution margin for the Company. We believe that this revenue growth can be attributed to both a steady flow of referrals from physicians that resulted in new patient starts and improved retention rates, and we expect this growth to continue in 2020,” said John H. Johnson, executive chairman of Strongbridge Biopharma. “In addition to commercial efforts for KEVEYIS, our main priorities are to complete the Phase 3 LOGICS trial and submit a quality new drug application for RECORLEV® (levoketoconazole). Based upon current assumptions, we expect to report top-line data from LOGICS at the end of the second quarter or during the third quarter of this year.”

 

Corporate & Financial Highlights

 

Rare Neuromuscular Franchise: KEVEYIS® (dichlorphenamide)

Achieved KEVEYIS net product sales of $5.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2019, a 27 percent increase compared to $4.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2018.

 

 

 

 

Full-year 2019 net revenues from sales of KEVEYIS totaled $21.7 million, compared to full-year net revenues of $16.8 million in 2018, a 29 percent increase.
Full-year 2020 revenue guidance for KEVEYIS of $26 to $27 million; the Company continues to anticipate a positive and growing KEVEYIS contribution margin in 2020.

 

Rare Endocrine Franchise: RECORLEV® (levoketoconazole)

Enrollment in the Phase 3 LOGICS study of RECORLEV in endogenous Cushing’s syndrome is approximately 85 percent complete; the Company projects that all of the remaining patients required to complete enrollment are currently in the titration and maintenance phase.
Based upon current observations, the Company believes that it will report top-line results from the LOGICS study at the end of the second quarter or during the third quarter of 2020.
The Company plans to submit a New Drug Application for RECORLEV to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approximately six months after reporting top-line LOGICS results.

 

Corporate

Strongbridge had $78 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and no debt outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
As previously announced, the Company has further extended its cash runway guidance by an additional three months, and now believes it can fund operations as currently planned through the third quarter of 2021, at least one-year following anticipated receipt of LOGICS top-line results.

 

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results 

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, basic net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders on a GAAP basis was ($9.0 million), or ($0.17) per share, compared to a basic net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of $84.1 million, or $1.73 per share, for the same period in 2018. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, KEVEYIS revenues were higher for the three months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. In addition, selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2019 were lower compared to the same period in 2018, due to lower expenses related to KEVEYIS in 2019 and to MACRILEN commercial activities conducted in 2018. The Company also recorded $6.0 million of other income related to the termination of the MACRILEN services agreement. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to a $130.8 million gain on the sale to Novo Nordisk of a subsidiary that held the rights to MACRILEN. This was offset in part by $3.0 million of interest expense and a $21.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2018. The debt was fully repaid in the fourth quarter of 2018 and, therefore, the Company recorded no interest expense or loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended December 31, 2019.

 

For the three months ended December 31, 2019, non-GAAP basic net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was ($13.5 million), or ($0.25) per share, compared to a non-GAAP basic net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of ($21.9 million), or ($0.46) per share, for the same period in 2018. The decrease in non-GAAP net loss during the three months ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to interest expense recorded in 2018, lower selling, general, and administrative expenses in 2019, and higher net revenues from KEVEYIS product sales in 2019.

 

 

 

 

The Company recorded net revenues from sales of KEVEYIS of $5.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, a 27 percent increase compared to net revenues of $4.4 million for the same period in 2018. 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $12.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $16.2 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease during the 2019 period was due a reduction in expenses related to KEVEYIS in 2019 and due to MACRILEN launch commercial activities conducted in 2018.

 

Research and development expenses were $8.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2018. 

 

Year-to-Date December 2019 Financial Results

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, basic net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders on a GAAP basis was ($49.5 million), or ($0.91) per share, compared to a basic net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of $31.9 million, or $0.69 per share, for the same period in 2018. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, KEVEYIS revenues were higher for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Selling, general, and administrative expenses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 were lower compared to the same period in 2018, due to lower expenses related to KEVEYIS in 2019 and to MACRILEN launch preparation activities conducted in 2018. Also, the Company recorded $6.0 million of other income related to the termination of the MACRILEN services agreement. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to a $130.8 million gain on the sale to Novo Nordisk of a subsidiary that held the rights to MACRILEN and an unrealized gain of $16.3 million on the fair value of warrants recorded in 2018 (compared to an unrealized gain of $11.4 million on the fair value of warrants recorded in the same period of 2019). In addition, research and development expenses during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 were higher compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the continued development of RECORLEV. The Company also recorded $1.2 million of MACRILEN net revenues in 2018 prior to the sale of its rights to MACRILEN to Novo Nordisk Healthcare AG in December 2018. These factors were offset in part by $12.5 million of interest expense and a $21.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt recorded during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. The debt was fully repaid in the fourth quarter of 2018 and, therefore, the Company recorded no interest expense or loss on extinguishment of debt during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, non-GAAP basic net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was ($53.2 million), or ($0.98) per share, compared to a non-GAAP basic net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of ($77.4 million), or ($1.66) per share, for the same period in 2018. The decrease in non-GAAP net loss during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to lower selling, general, and administrative expenses in 2019, interest expense recorded in 2018, and higher net revenues from KEVEYIS product sales in 2019, offset in part by higher research and development expenses in 2019 associated with the continued development of RECORLEV and higher MACRILEN net revenue recorded in 2018.

 

 

 

 

 

Net revenues were $21.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, an increase of $3.7 million compared to the same period in 2018. The Company recorded net revenues from sales of KEVEYIS of $21.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, a 29 percent increase compared to KEVEYIS net revenues of $16.8 million for the same period in 2018. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, the Company also recorded $1.2 million of net revenues from sales of MACRILEN.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $49.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $63.3 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease during the 2019 period was due to a reduction in expenses related to KEVEYIS in 2019 and due to MACRILEN launch preparation activities conducted in 2018.

 

Research and development expenses were $30.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $25.4 million for the same period in 2018. The increase during the 2019 period was primarily due to expenses related to the RECORLEV LOGICS clinical trial and other RECORLEV development activities.

(a)The effects of amortization of the intangible assets and charges related to the impairment of the intangible assets are excluded because these charges are non-cash, and we believe such exclusion facilitates investors’ ability to more accurately compare our operating results to those of our peer companies.

 

(b)The effects of non-cash employee stock-based compensation are excluded because of varying available valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions. We believe this is a useful measure for investors because such exclusion facilitates comparison to peer companies who also provide similar non-GAAP disclosures and is reflective of how management internally manages the business.

 

(c)The unrealized gain (loss) on fair value of warrants are excluded due to the nature of this charge, which is non-cash and related primarily to the effect of changes in the company’s stock price at a point in time. We believe such exclusion facilitates investors’ ability to more accurately compare our operating results to those of our peer companies.

 

(d)The gain on settlement of field services agreement is excluded due to the non-recurring nature of this gain. We believe such exclusion facilitates investors’ ability to more accurately compare our operating results to those of our peer companies and is reflective of how management internally manages the business.

 

(e)The effects of non-cash interest charges are excluded. We believe such exclusion facilitates an understanding of the effects of the debt service obligations on the Company’s liquidity and comparisons to peer group companies and is reflective of how management internally manages the business.

 

(f)The loss on extinguishment of debt is excluded due to the non-recurring nature of this charge.  We believe such exclusion facilitates investors’ ability to more accurately compare our operating results to those of our peer companies and is reflective of how management internally manages the business.

 

(g)The gain on sale of subsidiary is excluded due to the non-recurring nature of this gain.  We believe such exclusion facilitates investors’ ability to more accurately compare our operating results to those of our peer companies and is reflective of how management internally manages the business.

About RECORLEV

RECORLEV® (levoketoconazole) is an investigational cortisol synthesis inhibitor in development for the treatment of patients with endogenous Cushing’s syndrome, a rare but serious and potentially lethal endocrine disease caused by chronic elevated cortisol exposure. RECORLEV is the pure 2S,4R enantiomer of ketoconazole, a steroidogenesis inhibitor. RECORLEV is believed to significantly suppress serum cortisol in healthy subjects and has the potential to be a next-generation cortisol inhibitor.

 

The Phase 3 program for RECORLEV consists of SONICS and LOGICS: two multinational studies designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RECORLEV when used to treat endogenous Cushing’s syndrome. The SONICS study met its primary and secondary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant normalization rate of urinary free cortisol at six months. The ongoing LOGICS study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized-withdrawal study of RECORLEV that is designed to supplement the long-term efficacy and safety information supplied by SONICS.

 

RECORLEV has received orphan drug designation from the FDA and the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of endogenous Cushing's syndrome.
