Names Nishan de Silva Chief Financial Officer
Conference Call Begins at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time Today
SAN DIEGO--
Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ:LGND) today reported
financial results for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2013,
and provided an operating forecast and program updates.
Financial highlights for the fourth quarter of 2013 include (all
comparisons are with the fourth quarter of 2012):
-
Total revenues increased 8% to $14.7 million, and royalty revenues
increased 48% to $7.1 million
-
Non-GAAP net income per share from continuing operations was $0.35 per
diluted share
-
Net income increased 76% to $1.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share
A description of the non-GAAP calculations and reconciliation to
comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the accompanying table
titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
“2013 was a spectacular year for Ligand, and we believe we are well
positioned for continued significant growth in 2014 and beyond.
Throughout 2013 the remarkable progress of several partnered programs
drove major contributions to our financial results and established a
strong foundation for further growth in revenues and earnings,”
commented John Higgins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ligand.
“Impressive operating and financial momentum continues to define Ligand
with projected growth of our lead products, the recent launch of DuaveeTM,
as many as four new revenue-generating products that may be approved in
2014 and partners expected to invest more than $800 million in Ligand
programs this year across a vast array of promising assets.”
Fourth Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $14.7 million, an
increase of 8% compared with $13.6 million for the same period in 2012.
Royalty revenues increased 48% to $7.1 million from $4.8 million for the
same period in 2012 primarily due to higher royalties from Promacta®
and Kyprolis®. Material sales increased to $6.8 million
from $5.3 million for the same period in 2012 due to timing of customer
purchases of Captisol®.
Cost of goods sold was $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013,
compared with $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, with the
decrease primarily due to the product mix. Other operating costs and
expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $7.0 million, essentially
unchanged from other operating costs and expenses for the fourth quarter
of 2012.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $1.9 million, or $0.09 per
diluted share, compared with net income for the fourth quarter of 2012
of $1.1 million, or $0.05 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income from
continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $7.4 million,
or $0.35 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income from
continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 of $6.4 million, or
$0.32 per diluted share.
As of December 31, 2013, Ligand had cash, cash equivalents, short-term
investments and restricted investments of $17.3 million. During 2013
Ligand paid down $19.6 million in debt.
Full-Year Financial Results
Total revenues for 2013 increased 56% to $49.0 million compared with
$31.4 million for 2012. Royalty revenues increased to $23.6 million from
$14.1 million for 2012, primarily due to higher royalties from Promacta
and Kyprolis. Material sales increased to $19.1 million from $9.4
million in 2012 due to timing of customer purchases of Captisol as well
as an increase in purchases for use in clinical trials.
Cost of goods sold was $5.7 million for 2013, compared with $3.6 million
in 2012. Other operating costs and expenses from continuing operations
for the year were $28.3 million, compared with $27.6 million in 2012.
Net income for 2013 was $11.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted share,
compared with a net loss of $0.5 million, or $(0.03) per share, in 2012.
Non-GAAP net income from continuing operations for 2013 was $18.6
million, or $0.90 per diluted share, compared with $3.0 million, or
$0.15 per diluted share, in 2012.
2014 Financial Forecast
Affirming its previous full-year 2014 financial forecast, the Company
expects total revenues to be between $62 million and $64 million, and
non-GAAP earnings per diluted share to be between $1.40 and $1.45.
Approximately half of 2014 revenue is forecasted to be derived from
royalties, approximately 30% from material sales and approximately 20%
from licensing and milestone payments.
For the first quarter of 2014, Ligand expects total revenues to be
between $13 million and $14 million and non-GAAP earnings per diluted
share to be between $0.22 and $0.25. The non-GAAP earnings per diluted
share guidance does not include the effects of any increase or decrease
in contingent liabilities and noncash stock-based compensation expense.
Chief Financial Officer
The Company also announced it has named Nishan de Silva, M.D. Chief
Financial Officer, Vice President of Finance and Strategy, to succeed
John Sharp, who is leaving at the end of this month for a position with
a private company. Dr. de Silva has served as Ligand’s Vice President of
Corporate Development since February 2012.
Prior to joining Ligand, Dr. de Silva served as Principal at the private
equity firm Warburg Pincus, and previously worked at Sprout Group, a
venture capital firm, and was a healthcare consultant at McKinsey &
Company. He has also served on the Boards of Directors of several public
life science companies. Dr. de Silva holds a B.A. in Biology from
Harvard University, an M.D. from The University of Pennsylvania School
of Medicine and an M.B.A. from The Wharton School.
“Nishan has played an important part in our progress over the last two
years, and given his understanding of our business and the industry, as
well as his relationships with Ligand's investors and analysts, we
expect a smooth transition into his new role,” said Mr. Higgins. “On
behalf of Ligand’s Board of Directors and the entire Company, I want to
thank John Sharp for his significant contribution to Ligand’s success
over the past seven years, a period of major restructuring and growth
for the company. We all wish him the best as he takes on new
opportunities.”
Fourth Quarter and Recent Business Highlights
Partnered Program Updates
-
Ligand partner GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) announced that the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for
Promacta/Revolade® (eltrombopag) for the treatment of cytopenias in
patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) who have had insufficient
response to immunosuppressive therapy. SAA is a rare disorder in which
the bone marrow fails to make enough new blood cells. There are no
approved therapies available for SAA patients who are unresponsive to
initial immunosuppressive therapy (IST). Among patients unresponsive
to initial IST, approximately 40% die from infection or bleeding
within five years of diagnosis.
-
Ligand announced that it earned a $1 million commercial milestone
payment from Onyx Pharmaceuticals (subsidiary of Amgen, Inc.) in the
first quarter of 2014, triggered by the achievement of over $250
million of annual product sales of Kyprolis in 2013.
-
Ligand partner Pfizer received approval from the FDA for Duavee
(conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene) for the treatment of
moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause and
the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Ligand earned
a $425,000 milestone payment from Pfizer upon the approval. Duavee is
now available. See www.Duavee.com
for further information.
-
Ligand partner Merck announced that its New Drug Application for the
intravenous (IV) formulation of NOXAFIL® (posaconazole) had been
accepted for Priority Review by the FDA. Merck also announced that it
has filed a marketing authorization application for NOXAFIL IV
solution with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and plans to seek
regulatory approval for the IV formulation in other countries around
the world.
-
Ligand partner Merrimack Pharmaceuticals announced continuing clinical
progress with its programs, including a positive signal for MM-121 in
two Phase 2 ER/PR+ breast cancer studies and encouraging clinical data
from an expanded Phase 1 study of MM-302 for the treatment of advanced
HER2-positive breast cancer.
-
Ligand partner Spectrum Pharmaceuticals announced the completion of
enrollment for the pivotal trial of Captisol-enabled, propylene
glycol-free (PG-free) high-dose melphalan as a conditioning treatment
prior to autologous transplant for patients with multiple myeloma.
Spectrum also announced that it expects filing of an NDA in mid-2014.
-
Ligand partner Merck announced it has initiated Phase 3 trials for
MK-8931, its investigational BACE inhibitor for mild-to-moderate
Alzheimer’s disease. Merck also announced plans to initiate dosing in
a Phase 3 study evaluating MK-8931 in patients with amnestic mild
cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease, also known as
prodromal Alzheimer’s disease.
-
Ligand partner Retrophin stated it had initiated enrollment in a
potentially pivotal Phase 2 trial with its lead compound sparsentan,
formerly known as RE-021, for the treatment of focal segmental
glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a rare disease that attacks the kidney’s
filtering system.
Internal Program Progress
-
A Phase 1 clinical trial was initiated with the glucagon receptor
antagonist LGD-6972 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. This
first-in-human trial is evaluating the safety and tolerability of
single ascending oral doses of LGD-6972 in healthy subjects and in
subjects with type 2 diabetes. Results for the trial are expected in
mid-2014.
-
Positive data from preclinical studies with LGD-7455, Ligand’s
granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor agonist program
were presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of
Hematology (ASH). Among the findings were that LGD-7455 activates the
receptor in a manner distinct from native G-CSF, but similar to the
mechanism of small-molecule oral thrombopoetin receptor (TPOR)
agonists; and that it significantly increases peripheral blood
neutrophils, demonstrating the first reported proof-of-concept for a
small molecule G-CSFR agonist in a primate model.
Other
-
Standard & Poor’s announced that Ligand would be included in the S&P
Small-Cap 600 Index as of November 27, 2013.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The adjusted non-GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles)
financial measures discussed above (and in the tables below) for the
three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 exclude
expenses related to the increase or decrease in liability for contingent
liabilities, write-off of in-process research and development, and stock
based compensation expense.
Management has presented net income, net income per share, income from
continuing operations and income from continuing operations per share in
accordance with GAAP and on an adjusted basis. Ligand believes that the
presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful
supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by
investors. Ligand uses these non-GAAP financial measures in connection
with its own budgeting and financial planning. These non-GAAP financial
measures are in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to,
measures of financial performance prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains certain forward-looking statements by Ligand
that involve risks and uncertainties and reflect Ligand's judgment as of
the date of this release. Actual events or results may differ from
Ligand's expectations. For example, Ligand may not receive expected
revenue from material sales of Captisol, expected royalties on partnered
products and research and development milestone payments. Ligand and its
partners may not be able to timely or successfully advance any
product(s) in its internal or partnered pipeline. In addition, there can
be no assurance that Ligand will achieve its guidance for 2014 or
beyond, that Ligand's 2014 revenues will be at the levels or be broken
down as currently anticipated, that Ligand will be able to create future
revenues and cash flows by developing innovative therapeutics, that
results of any clinical study will be timely, favorable or confirmed by
later studies, that products under development by Ligand or its partners
will receive regulatory approval, that there will be a market for the
product(s) if successfully developed and approved, or that Ligand's
partners will not terminate any of its agreements or development or
commercialization of any of its products. Further, Ligand may not
generate expected revenues under its existing license agreements and may
experience significant costs as the result of potential delays under its
supply agreements. Also, Ligand and its partners may experience delays
in the commencement, enrollment, completion or analysis of clinical
testing for its product candidates, or significant issues regarding the
adequacy of its clinical trial designs or the execution of its clinical
trials, which could result in increased costs and delays, or limit
Ligand's ability to obtain regulatory approval. Further, unexpected
adverse side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy of Ligand's
product(s) could delay or prevent regulatory approval or
commercialization. In addition, Ligand may not be able to successfully
implement its strategic growth plan and continue the development of its
proprietary programs. The failure to meet expectations with respect to
any of the foregoing matters may reduce Ligand's stock price. Additional
information concerning these and other risk factors affecting Ligand's
business can be found in prior press releases available via www.ligand.com
as well as in Ligand's public periodic filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
Ligand disclaims any intent or obligation to update these
forward-looking statements beyond the date of this release. This caution
is made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
