NEW YORK, NY, May 9, 2024 - Royalty Pharma plc (Nasdaq: RPRX) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2024 and confirmed full year 2024 guidance for Portfolio Receipts.

“We continued to execute on our strategy in the first quarter of 2024 and are on track to deliver our full year guidance” said Pablo Legorreta, Royalty Pharma’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. “We achieved double-digit growth in Royalty Receipts driven by the strength of our diversified portfolio. With today’s transaction to acquire royalties on Sanofi’s frexalimab, a therapy with multi-blockbuster potential, we’ve increased our development-stage portfolio by five-fold to 15 medicines since our IPO. Looking ahead, 2024 is expected to be an event-rich year for our expanding development-stage pipeline with multiple potential regulatory and clinical events. Furthermore, we continue to be highly active in assessing attractive new royalty opportunities, reflecting the strong demand for capital to fund the ongoing wave of healthcare innovation. Based on the powerful fundamental tailwinds underpinning our business, we remain highly confident in our ability to deliver attractive, long-term compounding growth.”

Announced transaction to acquire royalties on Sanofi’s frexalimab, a potential multi-blockbuster in Phase 3 development for multiple sclerosis, for approximately $525 million including estimated transaction costs.

 

   

Financial capacity of >$3.5 billion (including cash and leverage capacity) to execute on value-creating transactions.

Development-stage portfolio growing to 15 therapies with potential significantly >$1 billion in peak royalties

 

   

11 of 15 therapies are in Phase 3 development or undergoing regulatory review.

 

   

Key events expected over next year: FDA filings for aficamten (cardiovascular), pelabresib (myelofibrosis); pivotal study results for seltorexant (depression), Tremfya (Crohn’s disease); FDA action date for KarXT (schizophrenia).

Portfolio Receipts were $717 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of 37% compared to $1,131 million in the same period of 2023. The decrease was attributable to a high base of comparison in the first quarter of 2023 in milestones and other contractual receipts, which reflected a $475 million Zavzpret milestone payment and a $29 million Airsupra payment.

Royalty Receipts increased 14% to $705 million, primarily driven by strong growth in Trelegy and the cystic fibrosis franchise, and incremental royalties acquired on Evrysdi in October 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $656 million in the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in accordance with the credit agreement as Portfolio Receipts minus payments for operating and professional costs.

 

   

Portfolio Cash Flow (non-GAAP) was $584 million in the first quarter of 2024. Portfolio Cash Flow is calculated in accordance with the credit agreement as Adjusted EBITDA minus interest paid or received, net. This measure reflects the cash generated by Royalty Pharma’s business that can be redeployed into value-enhancing royalty acquisitions, used to repay debt, returned to shareholders through dividends or share purchases, or utilized for other discretionary investments.

Royalty Pharma has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities, in Table 4.

Royalty Pharma announced new transactions of up to $94 million in the first quarter of 2024, which include upfront payments and potential future milestones. Royalty Pharma is also providing an aggregate amount for Capital Deployment, which reflects cash payments during the period for new and previously announced transactions. Capital Deployment was $93 million in the first quarter of 2024, consisting primarily of the $49 million upfront payment for ecopipam and $36 million in research and development funding support for TEV-’749. Additionally, in April 2024, Royalty Pharma made a $50 million milestone payment to Arrowhead related to olpasiran. In May 2024, Royalty Pharma announced a transaction to acquire royalties and milestones on frexalimab owned by ImmuNext for approximately $525 million in cash including estimated transaction costs.

Key Developments Relating to the Portfolio

The key developments related to Royalty Pharma’s royalty interests are discussed below based on disclosures from the marketers of the products.

 

TEV-‘749    In May 2024, Teva Pharmaceuticals announced positive efficacy results from its Phase 3 trial evaluating TEV-‘749, a once-monthly subcutaneous long-acting injection of olanzapine, in adult patients with schizophrenia. Results demonstrated that TEV-‘749 met its primary endpoint as measured by a change in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score from baseline after eight weeks compared to placebo. Additionally, no cases of Post-injection Delirium/Sedation Syndrome (PDSS) have been reported to date, after administration of approximately 80% of the minimal target injection number.
Cystic fibrosis franchise   

In May 2024, Vertex announced that it submitted a New Drug Application and Marketing Authorization Application for the new triple combination therapy to the Food & Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency, respectively, for approval. This follows positive Phase 3 results for the new triple combination therapy in February 2024.

 

In April 2024, Vertex announced that the European Commission had granted approval for the label expansion of Kalydeco for the treatment of infants down to one month of age with cystic fibrosis (CF) who have certain mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator gene.

Tremfya    In May 2024, Johnson and Johnson announced positive Phase 3 results for Tremfya in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease with inadequate response/intolerance to conventional therapies and/or biologics. Johnson and Johnson submitted applications to the European Medicines Agency seeking to expand the Marketing Authorization Application for Tremfya to include ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.
Xtandi   

In April 2024, Astellas Pharma announced the European Commission approved a label extension for Xtandi as monotherapy or in combination with androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of adult men with high-risk biochemical recurrent non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who are unsuitable for salvage-radiotherapy.

 

In January 2024, Pfizer announced that the European Commission had approved Talzenna (talazoparib), an oral poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor, in combination with Xtandi, for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in whom chemotherapy is not clinically indicated.

KarXT    In March 2024, Bristol Myers Squibb announced that it completed its acquisition of Karuna. Bristol Myers acquired Karuna for $330 per share, for a total equity value of $14 billion. The New Drug Application for KarXT for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults was accepted for review by the FDA, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act date of September 26, 2024.
Trontinemab    In March 2024, Roche held a neurology update event in which it announced that in people with Alzheimer’s Disease, trontinemab demonstrated rapid and robust amyloid plaque reduction at relatively low doses compared with standard anti-Aß monoclonal antibodies. The sustained low Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities incidence and overall favorable safety and tolerability profile support further investigation.

Pelabresib    In February 2024, Novartis announced that it had entered into an agreement to make a voluntary public takeover offer to acquire MorphoSys for €68 per share, for a total equity value of €2.7 billion. The closing is expected in the first half of 2024.
Trodelvy    In January 2024, Gilead announced that the Phase 3 EVOKE-01 study evaluating Trodelvy compared to docetaxel did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival in patients with previously treated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.

2024 Financial Outlook

Royalty Pharma has provided guidance for full year 2024, excluding transactions and borrowings announced after the date of this release, as follows:

 

     Provided May 9, 2024    Previous

Portfolio Receipts

   $2,600 million to $2,700 million    $2,600 million to $2,700 million

Payments for operating and professional costs

   8% to 9% of Portfolio Receipts    8% to 9% of Portfolio Receipts

Interest paid

   $160 million    $160 million

The above Portfolio Receipts guidance includes expected Royalty Receipts growth of 5% to 9% in 2024.

Royalty Pharma’s full year 2024 guidance reflects a negligible estimated foreign exchange impact to Portfolio Receipts, assuming current foreign exchange rates prevail for 2024.

Total interest paid is based on the semi-annual interest payment schedule of Royalty Pharma’s existing notes and is anticipated to be approximately $160 million in 2024. Interest paid is anticipated to be approximately $79 million in the third quarter of 2024 with de minimis amounts being recorded in the second and fourth quarters of 2024. The projection assumes no additional debt financing in 2024, including no drawdown on the revolving credit facility. In the first quarter of 2024, Royalty Pharma collected interest of $6 million on its cash and cash equivalents, which partially offset interest paid.

Royalty Pharma today provides this guidance based on its most up-to-date view of its prospects. This guidance assumes no major unforeseen adverse events and excludes the contributions from transactions announced subsequent to the date of this press release. Furthermore, Royalty Pharma may amend its guidance in the event it engages in new royalty transactions which have a material near-term financial impact on the company.

Financial Results Call

Royalty Pharma will host a conference call and simultaneous webcast to discuss its first quarter 2024 results today at 8:00 a.m., Eastern Time. Please visit the “Investors” page of the company’s website at https://www.royaltypharma.com/investors/events to obtain conference call information and to view the live webcast.

Portfolio Receipts

Portfolio Receipts is a key performance metric that represents our ability to generate cash from our portfolio investments, the primary source of capital that we can deploy to make new portfolio investments. Portfolio Receipts is defined as the sum of Royalty receipts and Milestones and other contractual receipts. Royalty receipts includes variable payments based on sales of products, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma (“Royalty Receipts”).

 

LOGO   6


LOGO

 

Milestones and other contractual receipts include sales-based or regulatory milestone payments and other fixed contractual receipts, net of contractual payments to legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma. Portfolio Receipts does not include proceeds from equity securities or proceeds from purchases and sales of marketable securities, neither of which are central to our fundamental business strategy.

Portfolio Receipts is calculated as the sum of the following line items from our GAAP statements of cash flows: Cash collections from financial royalty assets, Cash collections from intangible royalty assets, Other royalty cash collections, Proceeds from available for sale debt securities and Distributions from equity method investees less Distributions to legacy non-controlling interests – Portfolio Receipts, which represent contractual distributions of Royalty Receipts, milestones and other contractual receipts to RPSFT and the Legacy Investors Partnerships.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are non-GAAP liquidity measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are important non-GAAP measures used to analyze liquidity because they are key components of certain material covenants contained within Royalty Pharma’s credit agreement. Royalty Pharma cautions readers that amounts presented in accordance with the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies or analysts. These non-GAAP liquidity measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Royalty Pharma’s results as reported under GAAP.

The definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow used by Royalty Pharma are the same as the definitions in the credit agreement. Noncompliance with the interest coverage ratio, leverage ratio and Portfolio Cash Flow ratio covenants under the credit agreement could result in lenders requiring the company to immediately repay all amounts borrowed. If Royalty Pharma cannot satisfy these covenants, it would be prohibited under the credit agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends, making certain payments, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are critical to the assessment of Royalty Pharma’s liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are used by management as key liquidity measures in the evaluation of the company’s ability to generate cash from operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow when considering available cash, including for decision-making purposes related to funding of acquisitions, debt repayments, dividends and other discretionary investments. Further, these non-GAAP liquidity measures help management, the audit committee and investors evaluate the company’s ability to generate liquidity from operating activities.

The company has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP liquidity measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, being net cash provided by operating activities in Table 4.

Notes

 

(1)

Portfolio Receipts is a key performance metric that represents our ability to generate cash from our portfolio investments, the primary source of capital that we can deploy to make new portfolio investments. Portfolio Receipts is defined as the sum of Royalty receipts and milestones and other contractual receipts. Royalty receipts include variable payments based on sales of products, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma (“Royalty Receipts”). Milestones and other contractual receipts include sales-based or regulatory milestone payments and other fixed contractual receipts, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma. Portfolio Receipts does not include proceeds from equity securities or marketable securities, both of which are not central to our fundamental business strategy.

 

Portfolio Receipts is calculated as the sum of the following line items from our GAAP statements of cash flows: Cash collections from financial royalty assets, Cash collections from intangible royalty assets, Other royalty cash collections, Proceeds from available for sale debt securities and Distributions from equity method investees less Distributions to legacy non-controlling interests - Portfolio Receipts, which represent contractual distributions of Royalty Receipts, milestones and other contractual receipts to RPSFT and the Legacy Investors Partnerships.

 

(2)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined under the credit agreement as Portfolio Receipts minus payments for operating and professional costs. Operating and professional costs reflect Payments for operating and professional costs from the GAAP statements of cash flows. See GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation in Table 4.

 

(3)

Portfolio Cash Flow is defined under the credit agreement as Adjusted EBITDA minus interest paid or received, net. See GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation in Table 4. Portfolio Cash Flow reflects the cash generated by Royalty Pharma’s business that can be redeployed into value-enhancing royalty acquisitions, used to repay debt, returned to shareholders through dividends or share purchases or utilized for other discretionary investments.

 

(4)

Capital Deployment is calculated as the summation of the following line items from our GAAP statements of cash flows: Investments in equity method investees, Purchases of available for sale debt securities, Acquisitions of financial royalty assets, Acquisitions of other financial assets, Milestone payments, Development-stage funding payments - ongoing, Development-stage funding payments - upfront and milestone less Contributions from legacy non-controlling interests - R&D.

 

(5)

Other products primarily include Royalty Receipts on the following products: Cimzia, Crysvita, Emgality, Entyvio, Farxiga/Onglyza, IDHIFA, Letairis, Lexiscan, Mircera, Nesina, Soliqua and distributions from the Legacy SLP Interest, which is presented as Distributions from equity method investees on the GAAP statements of cash flows.
