First-quarter 2021 results were negatively impacted by a short-term TEPEZZA supply disruption due to U.S. government-mandated COVID 19-vaccine orders.

First Quarter and Recent Company Highlights

  • FDA Granted Priority Review of sBLA for Co-Treatment of KRYSTEXXA Plus Methotrexate: In March, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted priority review of the Company’s sBLA to expand the label for KRYSTEXXA to include co-treatment with methotrexate. The Company submitted an sBLA in January based on results from the MIRROR Phase 4 randomized placebo-controlled trial which demonstrated that 71% of patients receiving KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate achieved a complete response, a more than 30 percentage-point improvement compared to patients who were randomized to receive KRYSTEXXA plus placebo (p<0.0001). An updated label would allow the Company’s commercial team to promote KRYSTEXXA plus methotrexate to physicians. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date is July 7, 2022.



  • UPLIZNA Approved in Europe and China for NMOSD: In April, the European Commission approved UPLIZNA for the treatment of adult patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) who are Anti-Aquaporin-4 Immunoglobulin G Seropositive (AQP4-IgG+). Germany is expected to be the first country where the Company initiates promotional and commercialization efforts in the EU. In March, the Company’s strategic partner Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Company Limited received approval of UPLIZNA for the treatment of NMOSD from the National Medical Products Administration of the People’s Republic of China.



  • Advancing the Company’s Global Expansion with TEPEZZA and UPLIZNA Launch Preparations in Brazil: The Company initiated its build-out of primary infrastructure in Brazil to support the potential approvals of TEPEZZA for thyroid eye disease (TED) and UPLIZNA for NMOSD. There are no on-label treatments that are commercially available for TED or NMOSD in Brazil. Brazil marks the newest market that the company is pursuing as part of its global expansion strategy.

  • Announced Positive Topline Proof-of-Concept Data from Dazodalibep Rheumatoid Arthritis Trial: In May, the Company announced positive topline results from the Phase 2 randomized placebo-controlled trial of dazodalibep in patients with RA. The primary endpoint of the trial was met across all doses, a statistically significant change from baseline in DAS28-CRP, a standardized measure of disease activity in RA trials, at Day 113. In addition, dazodalibep was well tolerated across all doses. The impact observed after various doses will inform the dosing regimen for other studies with dazodalibep.



  • Presented New UPLIZNA Data at Key Medical Meetings: In April, multiple new data were presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) 2022 Annual Meeting, including new data from the Phase 3 trial showing no significant differences in attacks or Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) worsening between NMOSD patients treated with UPLIZNA with one pre-study attack and those with two or more pre-study attacks. A separate new analysis of the Phase 3 trial showed long-term treatment with UPLIZNA improved pain and quality of life outcomes for at least three years. Additionally, new data from the Phase 3 trial were presented at the 48th Annual Meeting of the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society (NANOS 2022) in February, showing that treatment with UPLIZNA effectively reduced the severity of attacks in patients with NMOSD.



  • Presented New TEPEZZA Data at Key Medical Meeting: In February, multiple new data were presented at NANOS 2022, including new data from a post-marketing safety analysis of hearing-related events associated with TEPEZZA. Among the thousands of patients included in the analysis, approximately 10% of all cases reported to the safety database included a hearing-related event. This rate was similar to the rate in the Company’s initial trials. The majority of hearing-related adverse events in the pivotal trials and post-approval have been mild to moderate and reversible. No new safety concerns were observed in the post-marketing safety analysis.



  • New TEPEZZA Chronic TED Data Published: In January, new data from an independent physician case study of six chronic TED patients who showed benefit after treatment with TEPEZZA were published in Eye, the official journal for the Royal College of Ophthalmologists. The case study adds to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of TEPEZZA in chronic TED patients, with nearly 60 chronic TED patients across multiple case studies who have demonstrated benefit.



  • Expanding East Coast R&D and Technical Operations Hub: In January, the Company announced it entered into an agreement to lease a new 192,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility under construction in Rockville, Maryland that will serve as the Company’s primary East Coast research and development and technical operations hub. The Company is significantly expanding and consolidating its East Coast footprint with the new facility, nearly quadrupling its current Maryland footprint acquired in the 2021 acquisition of Viela. The Company anticipates adding key R&D talent to support its growing research and development capabilities and expanded pipeline.



  • Received Multiple Best Workplace Awards: In April, the Company was named one of Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For® for the second consecutive year, retaining the highest ranked position in the biotechnology/pharmaceutical category. In March, Great Place to Work Ireland recognized Horizon as one of the “Best Workplaces in Ireland 2022” for the third consecutive year. These recognitions add to the many workplace awards the Company has received, reflecting the high level of engagement of its employees.



  • New President, Global Commercial Operations: The Company announced today that Jacopo Leonardi will join Horizon as president, global commercial operations, reporting to Tim Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, effective May 16, 2022. Leonardi is an accomplished life sciences executive with more than two decades of commercial experience, which includes commercial launch, R&D new product planning as well as accelerating growth for high performing businesses in rare disease and immunology. Leonardi will oversee the U.S. and international commercial organizations, commercial development (life-cycle management) and global medical affairs.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Horizon provides certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, non-GAAP gross profit and gross profit ratio, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP tax benefit (expense) and tax rate, non-GAAP operating cash flow and certain other non-GAAP income statement line items, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information on Horizon’s performance, operations, expenses, profitability and cash flows. Adjustments to Horizon’s GAAP figures exclude acquisition and/or divestiture-related costs, manufacturing plant start-up costs, restructuring and realignment costs and litigation settlements, as well as non-cash items such as share-based compensation, inventory step-up expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense, long-lived assets impairment charges, gain (loss) on equity security investments and other non-cash adjustments. Certain other special items or substantive events may also be included in the non-GAAP adjustments periodically when their magnitude is significant within the periods incurred. Horizon maintains an established non-GAAP cost policy that guides the determination of what costs will be excluded in non-GAAP measures. Horizon believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Horizon’s financial and operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of the Company’s historical and expected financial results and trends and to facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators Horizon’s management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company's performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Horizon has not provided a reconciliation of its full-year 2022 adjusted EBITDA and associated margin expansion outlook to an expected net income (loss) outlook because certain items such as acquisition/divestiture-related expenses and share-based compensation that are a component of net income (loss) cannot be reasonably projected due to the significant impact of changes in Horizon’s stock price, the variability associated with the size or timing of acquisitions/divestitures and other factors. These components of net income (loss) could significantly impact Horizon’s actual net income (loss) and margins.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements related to Horizon’s full-year 2022 net sales, adjusted EBITDA and margin expansion guidance; expected financial performance and operating results in future periods, including potential growth in net sales of certain of Horizon’s medicines; development, manufacturing and commercialization plans; expected timing of clinical trials, availability of clinical data and regulatory submissions; potential market opportunities for, and benefits of, Horizon’s medicines and medicine candidates and business and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on Horizon’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties, which include, without limitation, risks that Horizon’s actual future financial and operating results may differ from its expectations or goals; Horizon’s ability to grow net sales from existing medicines; impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and actions taken to slow its spread, including impacts on supplies and net sales of Horizon’s medicines and potential delays in clinical trials; impacts of the on-going war between Russia and Ukraine; the fact that Horizon’s full-year 2022 net sales, adjusted EBITDA and TEPEZZA net sales guidance and the expected timing of certain TEPEZZA clinical trials assume that future committed manufacturing slots for TEPEZZA are not cancelled and are run successfully, which could be impacted by additional government-mandated COVID-19 vaccine production orders and other risks associated with the manufacture of biologic medicines; risks associated with acquisitions, such as the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully, that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected or that the expected benefits of the transaction will not occur; the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement and pricing from government and third-party payers; risks relating to Horizon’s ability to successfully implement its business strategies, including its manufacturing and global expansion strategy; risks inherent in developing novel medicine candidates and existing medicines for new indications; risks associated with regulatory approvals; risks in the ability to recruit, train and retain qualified personnel; competition, including potential generic competition; the ability to protect intellectual property and defend patents; regulatory obligations and oversight, including any changes in the legal and regulatory environment in which Horizon operates and those risks detailed from time-to-time under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in Horizon’s filings and reports with the SEC. Horizon undertakes no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release as a result of new information.

NOTES FOR CERTAIN INCOME STATEMENT LINE ITEMS - NON-GAAP

  1. Primarily represents transaction and integration costs, including, advisory, legal, consulting and certain employee-related costs, incurred in connection with our acquisitions and divestitures. Costs recovered from subleases of acquired facilities and reimbursed expenses incurred under transition arrangements for divestitures are also reflected in this line item.



  2. We held investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values of $8.5 million as of March 31, 2022, which are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a net unrealized loss of $4.6 million due to the change in fair value of these securities.



  3. Represents rent and maintenance charges as a result of vacating the leased Lake Forest office in the first quarter of 2021.



  4. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded $0.8 million of manufacturing plant start-up costs related to the Waterford biologic drug product manufacturing facility purchased from EirGen in July 2021.



  5. Intangible amortization expenses are primarily associated with our developed technology related to TEPEZZA, KRYSTEXXA, RAVICTI, PROCYSBI, ACTIMMUNE, UPLIZNA, BUPHENYL, PENNSAID 2% and RAYOS.



  6. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized in cost of goods sold $27.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for inventory step-up expense related to UPLIZNA inventory revalued in connection with the Viela acquisition. Because inventory step-up expense is related to an acquisition, will not continue indefinitely and has a significant effect on our gross profit, gross margin percentage and net income for all affected periods, we exclude inventory step-up expense from our non-GAAP financial measures.



  7. Represents amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs associated with our debt.



  8. Represents share-based compensation expense associated with our stock option, restricted stock unit and performance stock unit grants to our employees and non-employee directors, and our employee share purchase plan.



  9. Represents depreciation expense related to our property, plant, equipment, software and leasehold improvements.



  10. Income tax adjustments on pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments represent the estimated income tax impact of each pre-tax non-GAAP adjustment based on the statutory income tax rate of the applicable jurisdictions for each non-GAAP adjustment.



  11. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a right-of-use asset impairment charge of $12.4 million as a result of vacating the leased Lake Forest office.



  12. Following consultation with the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, we no longer exclude upfront and milestone payments related to license and collaboration agreements from our non-GAAP financial measures and its line-item components. Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income for the three months ended March 31, 2021, includes $3.0 million of upfront and milestone payments related to license and collaboration agreements. These amounts continue to be excluded from our segment operating income and from certain measures contained in our credit agreement that are relevant to, among other things, the calculation of the interest rate.
