Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results and Pipeline Update

BusinessWire

HENDERSON, Nev.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqGS: SPPI), a biopharmaceutical
company focused on novel and targeted oncology therapies, announced
today financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019.

opportunities. Earlier today, we announced the acquisition of two new
assets and a novel antibody-interferon fusion technology platform that
could have broad application in oncology. With key near-term catalysts
for poziotinib and ROLONTIS and two newly acquired assets, we are
building a robust oncology pipeline.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (from Continuing Operations)

In this press release, Spectrum reports certain historical results that
have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP), including non-GAAP selling, general and
administrative expenses, non-GAAP research and development expenses,
non-GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share. Non-GAAP financial
measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measures in the tables of this press release and the accompanying
footnotes. The non-GAAP financial measures contained herein are a
supplement to the corresponding financial measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented exclude
the items summarized in the below table.

Management believes that adjustments for these items assist investors in
making comparisons of period-to-period operating results and that these
items are not indicative of the company’s on-going core operating
performance. Management uses non-GAAP net income (loss) in its
evaluation of the company’s core after-tax results of operations and
trends between fiscal periods and believes that these measures are
important components of its internal performance measurement process.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to
investors in providing greater transparency to the information used by
management in its operational decision-making. Management believes that
the use of these non-GAAP financial measures also facilitates a
comparison of the Company’s underlying operating performance with that
of other companies in its industry, which use similar non-GAAP measures
to supplement their GAAP results.

The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein have certain
limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with
the operations of the company’s business as determined in accordance
with GAAP. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP financial
measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or as superior to,
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In
addition, other companies, including other companies in our industry,
may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do,
limiting their usefulness as a comparative tool. Investors and potential
investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP
financial measures contained within this news release with our GAAP
financial results.

Weighted average shares outstanding:
Basic 109,552,602 100,809,853
Diluted 109,552,602 100,809,853

(1) Non-GAAP selling, general and
administrative expenses (from continuing operations): These
amounts reflect adjustments to reverse allocated operating expenses for
certain non-cash items (including stock-based compensation, depreciation
and lease expense), as well as the reversal of non-recurring severance
expenses. We believe the resulting non-GAAP SG&A value is more
indicative of the period-over-period success of our administrative
expense control, and more reflective of our normalized SG&A expense
trends.

(2) Non-GAAP research and development expenses
(from continuing operations): These amounts reflect
adjustments to reverse allocated operating expenses for certain non-cash
items (including stock-based compensation and depreciation), as well as
non-recurring severance expenses. We believe the resulting non-GAAP R&D
value is more reflective of our true R&D expense trends.

(3) Non-GAAP net loss (from continuing
operations): These amounts reflect all non-GAAP adjustments
described in (1) through (2) above, plus other non-cash and/or
non-recurring items, including: (i) adjustments to reverse the impact of
income taxes; (ii) reversal of foreign exchange gains and losses
(non-cash); (iii) reversal of debt discount accretion expense (non-cash)
for our convertible notes during the prior year period; and (iv)
reversal of the mark-to-market adjustment on our equity securities.

(4) Non-GAAP net loss per share (from
continuing operations): These amounts reflect all non-GAAP
adjustments in (1) through (3) above to present our overall non-GAAP
financial results for each period on a per-share basis.
