Full Year 2021 Results
Product revenues increased 22% to $7.57 billion compared to 2020, primarily driven by the launch of KAFTRIO in multiple countries internationally and the performance of TRIKAFTA in the U.S., including the launch of TRIKAFTA in children 6-11 years old in the U.S. Net product revenues in 2021 increased 10% to $5.29 billion in the U.S. and increased 66% to $2.29 billion outside the U.S., compared to 2020.
GAAP net income decreased compared to 2020, primarily due to a $900 million payment in connection with the amendment of Vertex’s collaboration with CRISPR Therapeutics that was recorded as a GAAP R&D expense in the second quarter of 2021.
Non-GAAP net income increased compared to 2020, driven by strong product revenue growth.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2021 were $7.5 billion, an increase of approximately $0.9 billion compared to December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily driven by strong operating cash flow partially offset by repurchases of our common stock authorized under our share repurchase programs and the $900 million payment to CRISPR Therapeutics.

Key Business Highlights
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Marketed Products
Vertex anticipates the number of CF patients treated with our medicines will continue to grow as the uptake of TRIKAFTA in the U.S. and the launches of KAFTRIO outside the U.S. continue, we enter into additional reimbursement agreements and achieve new approvals for the treatment of younger patients. Recent progress includes:
- In January 2022, the European Commission and the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) approved a label extension for KAFTRIO® (ivacaftor/tezacaftor/elexacaftor) in a combination regimen with ivacaftor, for the treatment of CF in children ages 6 through 11 years old who have at least one F508del mutation in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. With these approvals, approximately 1,900 children will be newly eligible for KAFTRIO®.
- In the fourth quarter of 2021, we secured additional reimbursement approvals for KAFTRIO® (ivacaftor/tezacaftor/elexacaftor) in a combination regimen with ivacaftor for the treatment of CF for eligible patients, including national reimbursement agreements in Spain and the Netherlands. The agreements generally cover people with CF ages 12 years and older who have at least one copy of the F508del mutation and allow us to introduce KAFTRIO® in these markets.
- The Phase 3 study of ORKAMBI in patients 12 to 24 months of age met its primary endpoint. ORKAMBI was well tolerated in this patient population, and no new safety concerns were identified. Substantial improvements were seen in sweat chloride, the secondary endpoint of the study. Based on these data, Vertex intends to submit regulatory filings in the U.S. in Q1 and in Europe in Q2 2022.
TRIKAFTA/KAFTRIO is now approved and reimbursed or accessible in more than 20 countries.
R&D pipeline
Vertex is delivering on a diversified pipeline of potentially transformative small molecule, cell and genetic therapies aimed at serious diseases. Recent and anticipated progress for key pipeline programs is noted below.
Cystic Fibrosis
Vertex continues to pursue next-in-class CFTR modulator therapies as well as new treatment options for the approximately 10% of patients who cannot benefit from CFTR modulators alone.
- Enrollment is underway in two Phase 3 global, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled clinical trials (SKYLINE 102 and SKYLINE 103) evaluating Vertex’s new once-daily investigational triple combination of VX-121/tezacaftor/VX-561 in patients with CF. The SKYLINE 102 and SKYLINE 103 trials are expected to include 950 patients in total and will compare the performance of VX-121/tezacaftor/VX-561 to TRIKAFTA. Enrollment in both trials is expected to be completed by late 2022 or early 2023.
- In collaboration with Moderna, Vertex is evaluating CF mRNA therapeutics designed to treat the underlying cause of CF by enabling cells in the lungs to produce functional CFTR protein for the treatment of the approximately 10% of CF patients who do not produce any CFTR protein. IND-enabling studies are underway, and we plan to submit an IND for this program in 2022.
Beta Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)
The CTX001 program employs a non-viral ex vivo CRISPR gene-editing therapy, which is being developed as a potential functional cure for transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) and severe sickle cell disease (SCD).
- Enrollment is complete in the ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials in TDT and SCD, with more than 70 patients dosed to date. Vertex anticipates submitting global regulatory filings for CTX001 in TDT and SCD in late 2022.
APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease (AMKD)
Vertex is evaluating the potential of oral, small molecule inhibitors of APOL1 function to treat people with AMKD.
- In December, Vertex announced that, in a Phase 2 proof-of-concept (POC) study in patients with APOL1-mediated focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), VX-147 achieved a statistically significant and clinically meaningful mean reduction of 47.6% in the urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) at Week 13 compared to baseline, on top of standard of care. VX-147 was well tolerated, with no treatment discontinuations due to adverse events and no serious adverse events considered related to study drug. These results provided the first clinical evidence and POC that an oral small molecule APOL1 inhibitor can decrease proteinuria in patients with APOL1-mediated kidney disease. Vertex anticipates completing its end of Phase 2 meeting with regulators and initiating pivotal development of VX-147 in AMKD in the first quarter of 2022.
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
Vertex is evaluating cell therapies designed to replace insulin-producing islet cells that are destroyed in people with T1D with the goal of developing a potential functional cure for this disease.
- VX-880 is a stem cell-derived, fully differentiated islet replacement therapy, using standard immunosuppression to protect the implanted cells. VX-880 is being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial for the treatment of T1D.
- In January, Vertex announced Day 150 data for the first T1D patient in the Phase 1/2 clinical trial, treated with a single infusion of VX-880 at half the target dose. These data demonstrated robust improvements in fasting C-peptide (levels increased to 404 pmol/L) and glycemic control, with HbA1c reaching 6.7% and daily exogenous insulin requirement at 2 units, providing evidence of a clinically meaningful therapeutic effect of this single treatment with VX-880.
- The VX-880 Phase 1/2 study is ongoing in the U.S. and Canada. Enrollment and dosing continues and Vertex expects to share data from more patients and report longer-term follow up in 2022.
- Vertex is pursuing additional programs in T1D, in which these stem cell-derived islets are encapsulated and implanted in an immunoprotective device or modified to produce hypoimmune stem cell islets. IND-enabling studies for the cells plus device program are underway, and we plan to submit an IND in 2022.
Pain (NaV1.8)
Vertex has discovered multiple selective small molecule inhibitors of NaV1.8 with the objective of creating a new class of medicines that have the potential to be highly effective for both acute and chronic pain, without the limitations of opioids and other existing pain medications.
- Vertex is conducting two Phase 2 dose ranging acute pain studies with VX-548, one following bunionectomy surgery and the other following abdominoplasty surgery. Vertex expects to obtain data from both studies in Q1 2022.
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) Deficiency
- Vertex plans to advance one or more novel small molecule zAAT correctors into the clinic in 2022.
Consistent with its overall strategy, Vertex takes a portfolio approach to all of its programs, with additional assets in CF, SCD, Beta Thalassemia, AMKD, T1D, Pain, and AATD in earlier stages of development.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this press release, Vertex’s financial results and financial guidance are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, non-GAAP financial results and guidance exclude from Vertex’s pre-tax income (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) revenues and expenses related to collaborative upfront and milestones payments, including the $900 million upfront payment to CRISPR Therapeutics, and certain other business development activities, (iii) gains or losses related to the fair value of the company’s strategic investments, (iv) increases or decreases in the fair value of contingent consideration, (v) acquisition-related costs and (vi) other adjustments. The company’s non-GAAP financial results also exclude from its provision for income taxes the estimated tax impact related to its non-GAAP adjustments to pre-tax income described above and certain discrete items. These results should not be viewed as a substitute for the company’s GAAP results and are provided as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the company’s business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results and provide additional information regarding the company’s financial position that the company believes is helpful to an understanding of its ongoing business. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals that are communicated internally and externally, to manage the company’s business and to evaluate its performance. The company adjusts, where appropriate, for both revenues and expenses in order to reflect the company’s operations. The company’s calculation of non-GAAP financial measures likely differs from the calculations used by other companies. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included in the attached financial information.
The company provides guidance regarding combined R&D and SG&A expenses and effective tax rate on a non-GAAP basis. The guidance regarding combined GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses does not include estimates associated with any potential future business development activities. The company does not provide guidance regarding its GAAP effective tax rate because it is unable to forecast with reasonable certainty the impact of excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation and the possibility of certain discrete items, which could be material.

Notes and Explanations
1: In the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, “Tax adjustments” included the estimated income taxes related to non-GAAP adjustments to the company’s pre-tax income and non-recurring discrete benefits to the company’s provision for income taxes. “Tax adjustments” in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 included a $44 million discrete benefit resulting from the conclusion of an R&D tax credit study. The twelve months ended December 31, 2021 also included a $95 million discrete benefit related to an increase in the U.K.’s corporate tax rate from 19% to 25%, which was enacted in June 2021 and will become effective in April 2023.
