BURLINGAME, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Innoviva, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVA) (“Innoviva” or the “Company”), a diversified holding company with a portfolio of royalties and other healthcare assets, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, highlighted select corporate achievements and provided an overview of its key business initiatives.
- Gross royalty revenue from Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”) for the third quarter 2023 was $57.0 million, which included royalties of $45.6 million from global net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and royalties of $11.4 million from global net sales of ANORO® ELLIPTA® compared to $65.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, which included royalties of $55.7 million from global net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and $9.9 million from global net sales of ANORO® ELLIPTA®, respectively.
- Net product sales and license revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $13.7 million, which included $8.0 million from GIAPREZA® net sales, $5.1 million from XERAVA® net sales and $0.6 million from XACDURO® net sales.
- Net income was $82.0 million, or $1.26 basic per share, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $265.5 million, or $3.81 basic per share, for the third quarter of 2022; the decrease was primarily driven by non-repeated gain on sales of our subsidiary, Theravance Respiratory Company, and its TRELEGY® ELLIPTA® royalty stream in July 2022.
- Cash and cash equivalents totaled $180.0 million. Royalty, product sales and milestone receivables totaled $67.8 million as of September 30, 2023.
“The third quarter of 2023 was marked by significant revenues stemming from our royalty portfolio and solid performance by our internal product portfolio,” said Pavel Raifeld, Chief Executive Officer of Innoviva. “A few weeks ago, we launched XACDURO® in the United States and are encouraged by the market receptivity. Moreover, we announced positive topline data from the Phase 3 trial of our lead pipeline asset, zoliflodacin, and are excited about its potential to affect the treatment paradigm for gonorrhea patients, especially in the presence of antimicrobial resistance concerns. These milestones reinforce the strength and promise of our infectious disease and critical care business.”
Mr. Raifeld concluded, “We continued to exercise cost discipline and saw meaningful operational progress among our investees. In addition, we benefited from significant increases in the equity fair values of our investments. We are confident in the prospects of our business and plan to continue to pursue shareholder-friendly policies, such as share repurchases.”
Third Quarter 2023 and Recent Highlights
GSK Net Sales
- Third quarter 2023 net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® by GSK were $303.9 million with $109.5 million in net sales from the U.S. market and $194.4 million from non-U.S. markets.
- Third quarter 2023 net sales of ANORO® ELLIPTA® by GSK were $175.8 million with $89.2 million net sales from the U.S. market and $86.6 million from non-U.S. markets.
Corporate Updates
- During the third quarter of 2023, Innoviva repurchased 856,750 shares of its outstanding common stock for $11.0 million.
- On July 10, 2023, Innoviva’s wholly owned subsidiary, Innoviva Strategic Opportunities, entered into a credit and security agreement with Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: ARMP) (“Armata”) and invested $25.0 million to advance Armata’s pipeline of therapeutic phage candidates and support the buildout of its state-of-the art cGMP manufacturing facility.
- On August 21, 2023, Innoviva appointed Stephen Basso as Chief Financial Officer.
Clinical Updates
- In September 2023, Innoviva’s wholly owned subsidiary, Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics, launched XACDURO® (sulbactam for injection; durlobactam for injection), co-packaged for intravenous use in patients 18 years of age and older for the treatment of hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP) caused by susceptible isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex (Acinetobacter). XACDURO® is the first and only pathogen-targeted antibiotic and a significant advancement in the way healthcare professionals treat Acinetobacter.
- In November 2023, in collaboration with The Global Antibiotic Research & Development Partnership (GARDP), we announced that zoliflodacin, a first-in-class antibiotic, met its primary endpoint in a global pivotal phase 3 clinical trial for the treatment of uncomplicated gonorrhea, a prevalent disease affecting over 80 million patients a year globally with rapidly rising antimicrobial resistance concerns. Study investigators found that oral zoliflodacin demonstrated statistical non-inferiority of microbiological cure at the urogenital site when compared to treatment with intramuscular injection of ceftriaxone and oral azithromycin, a current global standard of care regimen. In the study, zoliflodacin demonstrated a favorable safety profile and was generally well tolerated, with the majority of adverse events being mild-to-moderate. There were no discontinuations reported due to adverse events, serious adverse events, or deaths.
