INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- PDL BioPharma, Inc. (PDL or the Company) PDLI today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2016 including:

  • Total revenues of $53.6 million and $177.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
  • GAAP diluted EPS of $0.08 and $0.45 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
  • GAAP net income attributable to PDL's shareholders of $13.9 million and $73.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.
  • Non-GAAP net income of $18.9 million and $118.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

The largest component of the difference in non-GAAP net income compared to GAAP net income is the exclusion of (i) the mark-to-market reduction in fair value of our investments in royalty rights and (ii) the amortization of intangible assets. A full reconciliation of all components of the GAAP to non-GAAP quarterly financial results can be found in Table 4 at the end of this release.

Revenue Highlights

  • Total revenues of $53.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 included:
    • Royalties from PDL's licensees to the Queen et al. patents of $15.0 million, which consisted of royalties earned on sales of Tysabri® under a license agreement;
    • Net royalty payments from acquired royalty rights and a change in fair value of the royalty rights assets of $16.1 million, which consisted of the change in estimated fair value of our royalty right assets, primarily related to the Depomed, Inc., University of Michigan and AcelRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. royalty rights acquisitions;
    • Interest revenue from notes receivable financings to late-stage healthcare companies of $8.6 million; and
    • Product revenues from sales of Tekturna® and Tekturna HCT® in the United States and Rasilez® and Rasilez HCT® in the rest of the world of $14.1 million.
  • Total revenues decreased by 57 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2016, when compared to the same period in 2015.
    • The decrease in royalties from PDL's licensees to the Queen et al. patents is due to the expiration of the patent license agreement with Genentech, Inc. PDL continues to receive royalties on sales of Tysabri. The duration of this royalty payment is based on the sales of product manufactured prior to patent expiry, the amount of which is uncertain.
    • The increase in royalty rights - change in fair value was driven by the $9.6 million increase in the fair value of the Depomed royalty rights assets primarily due to a $5.0 million milestone payment based on FDA approval of Invokamet® XR, a Type 2 diabetes drug in our Depomed portfolio, an adjustment to the timing of its estimated cashflows and a reduction in discount rate.
    • PDL received $15.3 million in net cash royalty and milestone payments from its royalty rights in the third quarter of 2016, compared to $6.9 million for the same period of 2015.
    • The decrease in interest revenues was primarily due to ceasing to recognize interest from Direct Flow Medical, Inc. notes receivable.
    • Product revenues were derived from sales of Tekturna and Tekturna HCT in the United States and Rasilez and Rasilez HCT in the rest of the world (collectively, the Noden Products). Pursuant to the purchase agreement, when Noden Pharma DAC (Noden) acquired the exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture, market, and sell the Noden Products from Novartis. Novartis continued distributing the Noden Products during the third quarter of 2016 and transferred profits with Noden on a net basis (i.e. net of cost of manufacturing and a fee to Novartis). Noden is commercializing the products in the U.S. as of the fourth quarter of 2016.
  • Total revenues decreased by 57 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, when compared to the same period in 2015.
    • The decrease in royalties from PDL's licensees to the Queen et al. patents is due to the expiration of the patent license agreement with Genentech, Inc.
    • The decrease in royalty rights - change in fair value was driven by the $19.2 million decrease in the fair value of the Depomed royalty rights asset, and a $3.4 million decrease in the fair value of the University of Michigan royalty right asset.
    • PDL received $47.2 million in net cash royalty payments and milestone payments from its acquired royalty rights in the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $9.0 million for the same period of 2015.
    • Product revenues and interest revenue variances were the same as the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Operating Expense Highlights

  • Operating expenses were $21.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $8.5 million for the same period of 2015. The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was primarily a result of the product sales segment acquisition, contributing an additional $6.0 million of acquisition intangible amortization, $2.1 million in a change in fair value in acquisition-related contingent consideration, $1.9 million in research and development costs for the completion of a pediatric trial for the acquired branded prescription medicines Tekturna by Noden and acquisition related costs of $0.5 million. General and administrative expenses increased by $1.9 million, of which $1.1 million relates to an increased headcount and expenses due to the Noden related product acquisitions and $0.3 million relates to additional stock-based compensation expenses and an increase in legal services mostly related to ongoing legal proceedings.
  • Operating expenses were $40.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $23.5 million for the same period of 2015. The increase in operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, was the result of the expenses related to the acquisition of the Noden Products.

Other Financial Highlights

  • PDL had cash, cash equivalents, and investments of $114.6 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $220.4 million at December 31, 2015.
    • The decrease was primarily attributable to the acquisition of a business, net of cash of $109.9 million, the purchase of a certificate of deposit for $75.0 million, the purchase of additional royalty rights for $59.5 million, repayment of the March 2015 Term Loan for $25.0 million, payment of dividends of $16.4 million, an additional note receivable purchase of $8.0 million, the purchase of short-term investments of $8.0 million, and the payment of debt issuance costs of $0.3 million, partially offset by the repayment of a note receivable balance of $54.7 million, proceeds from royalty right payments of $47.2 million, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities of $1.7 million, cash received from a noncontrolling investor of $0.3 million and cash generated by operating activities of $86.1 million.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $86.1 million, compared with $231.4 million in the same period in 2015.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing additional measures which may be considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable SEC rules. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides our investors with additional information that reflects the amounts and financial basis upon which our management assesses and operates our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for reported, or GAAP, net income, and diluted earnings per share, and are not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance performed in conformity with GAAP.

"Non-GAAP net income" is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and represent GAAP net income adjusted to exclude (1) mark-to market adjustments related to the fair value election for our investments in royalty rights presented in our earnings, which include the fair value re-measurement of future discounted cash flows for each of the royalty rights assets we have acquired, (2) non-cash interest revenue from notes receivable  (3) stock-based compensation expense, (4) non-cash interest expense related to PDL debt offering costs, (5) mark-to market adjustments related to warrants held, (6) mark-to-market adjustment related to acquisition-related contingent considerations, (7) amortization of intangible assets, and to adjust (7) the related tax effect of all reconciling items within our reconciliation of our GAAP to Non-GAAP net income. Non-GAAP financial measures used by PDL may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
