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

  • Completed Acquisition of Viela: On March 15, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Viela, representing a significant step forward in advancing the Company's strategy to expand its pipeline to accelerate long-term sustainable growth. The acquisition advances the Company's strategy in four ways: it adds a deep, mid-stage biologics pipeline with four candidates in nine development programs; it expands the capabilities of the Company's R&D organization with Viela's early-stage research and translational capabilities and deep scientific knowledge in autoimmune and severe inflammatory diseases; it supports the Company's global expansion strategy; and it diversifies the Company's on-market medicine portfolio with the addition of UPLIZNA, an infused biologic medicine indicated for the rare disease NMOSD.
  • Resumed TEPEZZA Supply: In March 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a prior approval supplement giving the Company authorization to manufacture an increased scale of TEPEZZA drug product, resulting in a greater number of vials per manufacturing slot at its third-party manufacturer, Catalent. The Company resumed supplying the market in April following a supply disruption that began in December 2020 due to U.S. government-mandated COVID-19 vaccine orders. The Company continues to make progress on adding a second drug product manufacturer by the end of 2021.
  • Advancing the Company's Global Expansion with European UPLIZNA Launch Preparations: Today, the Company announced additional plans for its global expansion, preparing to build out its European infrastructure to support the potential approval by the first quarter of 2022 of UPLIZNA for NMOSD, which has been granted orphan designation by the European Commission. The Company is adding key infrastructure to support the potential launch of UPLIZNA in Europe in the near term as well as to support the potential launch of additional medicines over the long term. The Company anticipates building a global presence over time in several other markets outside of Europe, including Japan, one of the markets the Company is pursuing for TEPEZZA, where the Company is engaging with the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency and the Japanese medical community.
  • UPLIZNA Approved in Japan for NMOSD: In March 2021, the Company's strategic partner Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation received manufacturing and marketing approval of UPLIZNA for the prevention of relapses of NMOSD from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
  • Presented New UPLIZNA Data at Medical Meetings: New UPLIZNA data were presented at the American Academy of Neurology's 73rd Annual Meeting in April, including end-of-study data from the open-label extension period (OLP) of the pivotal N-MOmentum trial in patients with NMOSD. The data showed UPLIZNA was generally well-tolerated for at least four years, and that long-term UPLIZNA treatment provided a sustained reduction in NMOSD attack risk from baseline, regardless of when treatment was initiated. Data from the OLP were also recently presented at the American Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) 2021 Forum, including a poster featuring data demonstrating the safety and efficacy of UPLIZNA in those with previous rituximab exposure. Additionally, a new analysis of the N-MOmentum trial demonstrating that the medicine consistently reduced the risk of worsening disability in people living with NMOSD was published in the May issue of Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation.
  • Initiated Enrollment in KRYSTEXXA Monthly Dosing Trial: In March 2021, the first patient was enrolled in an open-label trial to evaluate a monthly dosing regimen of KRYSTEXXA with methotrexate to treat people with uncontrolled gout. The goal of the trial is to explore whether a monthly dosing regimen can provide similar outcomes as the current dosing schedule, which is every other week.
  • Completed Enrollment in KRYSTEXXA PROTECT Trial: In January 2021, the Company completed enrollment in its PROTECT open-label trial. The trial, which is evaluating KRYSTEXXA to improve the management of uncontrolled gout for adults with a kidney transplant, enrolled a total of 20 patients. Results are expected in the fourth quarter of 2021.
  • Progressed the TEPEZZA Subcutaneous Administration Clinical Program: The Company completed dosing in late March for its first trial exploring a subcutaneous (SC) formulation of TEPEZZA. The trial is a small, single-dose Phase 1 pharmacokinetic trial which includes evaluating the use of the Halozyme ENHANZE® drug-delivery technology for a SC formulation, which could potentially shorten drug administration time, reducing healthcare practitioner time and offering additional flexibility and convenience for patients.
  • Received Multiple Best Workplace Awards: The Company continued to be recognized as a best workplace. In March 2021, the Company ranked No. 1 on the "Fortune Best Workplaces in Biopharma 2021" list and was named to the "Best Workplaces in Ireland 2021" list. In April 2020, the Company was named one of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For®" in the United States and placed on Crain's Chicago Business' 2021 "Best Places to Work in Chicago" list for the sixth consecutive year.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA are used and provided by Horizon as non-GAAP financial measures. Horizon provides certain other financial measures such as 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 expense and tax rate and non-GAAP operating cash flow, 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 as well as EBITDA exclude acquisition and/or divestiture-related expenses, gain or loss from divestiture, gain or loss from sale of assets, upfront, progress and milestone payments related to license and collaboration agreements, litigation settlements, loss on debt extinguishment, costs of debt refinancing, drug manufacturing harmonization costs, restructuring and realignment costs, the income tax effect on pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments and other non-GAAP income tax adjustments, as well as non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, non-cash interest expense, long-lived asset impairment charges 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 2021 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. For example, adjusted EBITDA is used by Horizon as one measure of management performance under certain incentive compensation arrangements. 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 2021 adjusted EBITDA 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).

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements related to Horizon's full-year 2021 net sales and adjusted EBITDA guidance; expected financial performance and operating results in future periods, including potential growth in net sales of certain of Horizon's medicines; the potential benefits and other impacts of the Viela Bio acquisition; development and commercialization plans; expected timing of clinical trials, studies and regulatory submissions; potential market opportunity 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; the fact that Horizon's full-year 2021 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 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. 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. Represents the recording of a liability for maintenance charges as a result of vacating the leased Lake Forest office.
  3. Intangible amortization expenses are associated with our intellectual property rights, developed technology and customer relationships related to TEPEZZA, KRYSTEXXA, RAVICTI, PROCYSBI, ACTIMMUNE, BUPHENYL, UPLIZNA, PENNSAID 2% and RAYOS.
  4. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized in cost of goods sold $0.9 million 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 loss for all affected periods, the Company excludes inventory step-up expense from its non-GAAP financial measures.
  5. Represents amortization of debt discount and deferred financing costs associated with our debt.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Represents depreciation expense related to our property, equipment, software and leasehold improvements.
  9. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a $3.0 million progress payment in relation to the collaboration agreement with HemoShear.
  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. Represents arrangement and other fees relating to our refinancing activities.
  12. During the year ended December 31, 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain rights to interferon gamma-1b, marketed as IMUKIN in an estimated thirty countries primarily in Europe and the Middle East, or the IMUKIN purchase agreement. We already owned the rights to interferon gamma-1b marketed as ACTIMMUNE in the United States, Canada and Japan. In connection with the IMUKIN purchase agreement, we also committed to pay our contract manufacturer certain amounts related to the harmonization of the manufacturing processes for ACTIMMUNE and IMUKIN drug substance, or the harmonization program. At the time we entered into the IMUKIN purchase agreement and the harmonization program commitment was made, we had anticipated achieving certain benefits should the Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating ACTIMMUNE for the treatment of Friedreich's ataxia, be successful. If the study had been successful and if U.S. marketing approval had subsequently been obtained, we had forecasted significant increases in demand for the medicine and the harmonization program would have resulted in significant benefits for us. Following our discontinuation of the Friedreich's ataxia program, we determined that certain assets, including an upfront payment related to the IMUKIN purchase agreement, were impaired, and the costs under the harmonization program would no longer have benefit to us and should be expensed as incurred.
