DUBLIN, July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Alkermes plc (Nasdaq: ALKS) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2023.

"As we enter the second half of the year, we are well positioned to continue to make meaningful progress across the business and drive shareholder value."

We continue to expect royalty revenues from Janssen for these long-acting INVEGA products to be incrementally accretive to Alkermes' bottom line in 2023 and beyond, as we continue to manage our business to drive profitability for the benefit of Alkermes' shareholders."

  • Research and Development (R&D) expenses were $100.8 million, compared to $92.9 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily reflecting acceleration in recruitment for the nemvaleukin alfa (nemvaleukin) clinical studies and investment in the ALKS 2680 phase 1 study.

Non-GAAP net income excluded back royalties and associated interest paid in the quarter of approximately $197.1 million related to 2022 U.S. net sales of the long-acting INVEGA products and CABENUVA®. This compared to non-GAAP net income of $10.5 million, or a non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.06 for the same period in the prior year.

Financial Expectations for 2023

Alkermes reiterated its financial expectations for 2023, as set forth in its press release dated June 6, 2023 .

Separation of Oncology Business

Alkermes continues to make meaningful progress on the previously announced planned separation of its oncology business into a new, independent publicly-traded company. The separation would allow Alkermes to maintain its focus on researching, developing and commercializing therapies for people living with complex neurological conditions and is expected to accelerate and enhance the profitability of the remaining neuroscience business.

- In June 2023, Alkermes appointed Caroline J. Loew, Ph.D., as the chief executive officer designate of Mural Oncology plc (Mural Oncology), the new independent public company to be established upon the planned separation of Alkermes' oncology business. Dr. Loew joined Alkermes in June as a strategic advisor and will transition to CEO of Mural Oncology upon completion of the separation.

- Alkermes continues to expect to complete the separation in the second half of 2023, subject to various customary conditions, including final approval from Alkermes' board of directors and receipt of a private letter ruling from the IRS and/or a tax opinion from the company's tax advisor.

Recent Events

Corporate

- In June 2023, the company received a final award (the Final Award) from the arbitral tribunal in its arbitration proceedings with Janssen.

Further details regarding the Final Award can be found here.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Non-GAAP net income adjusts for certain one-time and non-cash charges by excluding from GAAP results: share-based compensation expense; amortization; depreciation; non-cash net interest expense; change in the fair value of contingent consideration; certain other one-time or non-cash items; and the income tax effect of these reconciling items.

The company's management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company's performance. The company provides these non-GAAP financial measures of the company's performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the company's results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share should not be considered measures of the company's liquidity.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.

Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements set forth in this press release constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including, but not limited to, statements concerning: the company's expectations concerning its future financial and operating performance, business plans or prospects, including its ability to drive profitability and create value for shareholders; the company's expectations regarding the future royalties to be received from Janssen; the company's expectations regarding the timing, structure, anticipated benefits and other impacts of the planned separation of its oncology business; and the therapeutic and commercial potential of the company's products. The company cautions that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. The forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees and they are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. Actual performance and results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties.

Nach der Korrektur – 3 Kupferproduzenten für das Comeback

Kupfer wird oft als „das Gold der Energiewende“ bezeichnet, weil es aufgrund seiner hervorragenden elektrischen Leitfähigkeit eine zentrale Rolle in vielen Technologien spielt, die für nachhaltige Energiesysteme entscheidend sind. Experten gehen aufgrund der Angebotsknappheit von einem Superzyklus aus.

Korrektur als Einstiegschance

Nach Höchstständen im Mai korrigierte das rote Metall stark. Die Abwärtsspirale verstärkte sich in den vergangenen Tagen aufgrund schwacher Konjunkturdaten aus den USA und China. Langfristig könnte sich die aktuell laufende Korrektur als exzellente Einstiegsmöglichkeit herausstellen.

3 Kupferaktien mit hohem Potential

Im neuen, kostenlosen Spezialreport stellen wir drei aussichtsreiche Unternehmen vor, die bei einem weiteren Anstieg überproportional profitieren könnten.
