Key Regulatory/R&D Updates

In March 2019, the company announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Sunosi(TM) (solriamfetol) to improve wakefulness in adult patients with EDS associated with narcolepsy or OSA. Sunosi is the first and only dual-acting dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor approved by the FDA for this indication and was approved with strengths of 75 mg and 150 mg for patients with narcolepsy and 37.5 mg, 75 mg, and 150 mg for patients with OSA.

In March 2019, the company announced positive top-line results from the global, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized-withdrawal, multi-center Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of JZP-258 for the treatment of cataplexy and EDS in adult patients with narcolepsy. JZP-258 is a novel oxybate product candidate with a 92% reduction in sodium content compared to Xyrem.

In March 2019, positive results from DEFIFrance, an observational, multi-center, post-marketing study in adult and pediatric patients treated with defibrotide at hematopoietic stem cell transplant centers in France, were presented at the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplant (EBMT) meeting.

Other Developments

In March 2019, the company launched Xyrem to treat cataplexy and EDS in pediatric narcolepsy patients following receipt of FDA approval in October 2018 after completing implementation of the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy to include pediatric patients and their caregivers.

In April 2019, the company announced the finalization of the settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) related to the company's support of charitable organizations that provide financial assistance to Medicare patients. In 2018, the company had announced an agreement in principle and recorded a total expense of $58.2 million related to this matter, including related interest. Under the settlement agreement, in April 2019, the company paid $57.0 million plus interest and entered into a five-year corporate integrity agreement with the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Total revenues increased 14% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Xyrem net product sales increased 16% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Erwinaze/Erwinase net product sales increased 20% in the first quarter of 2019 due to an increase in product availability compared to the same period in 2018. The company continues to expect supply disruptions throughout 2019 which will cause inter-quarter variability in Erwinaze net sales.

Defitelio/defibrotide net product sales increased 18% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 due to increased use by transplant centers that treat adult and pediatric patients. VOD is an ultra-rare disease and, as a result, the company continues to expect inter-quarter variability in Defitelio net sales.

Vyxeos net product sales increased 10% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to the rolling launch in the EU initiated in September 2018. The company continues its education and outreach initiatives and its efforts to generate data to support Vyxeos' potential use across broader patient populations in AML and other hematological malignancies.

Operating expenses changed over the prior year period primarily due to the following:

    --  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses on a GAAP basis
        decreased in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in
        2018 primarily due to a $57.0 million loss contingency recorded in 2018
        related to the DOJ matter described above. SG&A expenses on a GAAP
        basis, excluding the impact of the loss contingency, and on a non-GAAP
        adjusted basis increased in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the
        same period in 2018 primarily due to higher expenses related to the
        planned launch of Sunosi in the U.S. and an increase in headcount and
        compensation-related expenses to support expansion of the business.
    --  Research and development (R&D) expenses on a GAAP basis decreased in the
        first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due
        to milestone payments of $11.0 million related to FDA acceptance for
        filing of the company's solriamfetol NDA recorded in 2018. R&D expenses
        on a GAAP basis, excluding the impact of milestone payments, and on a
        non-GAAP adjusted basis increased in the first quarter of 2019 compared
        to the same period in 2018 primarily due to expenses related to the
        company's pre-clinical and clinical development programs, including
        partner programs, regulatory activities and related headcount increases
        to support these efforts.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2019, cash, cash equivalents and investments were $832.5 million and the outstanding principal balance of the company's long-term debt was $1.8 billion. During the first quarter of 2019, the company generated $202.3 million of cash from operations, made an upfront payment of $56.0 million to Codiak BioSciences, Inc. under a collaboration agreement and used $111.2 million to repurchase shares.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Jazz Pharmaceuticals' financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company uses certain non-GAAP (also referred to as adjusted or non-GAAP adjusted) financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. In particular, the company presents non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line item components, as well as certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures derived therefrom, including non-GAAP adjusted gross margin percentage and non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line item components exclude from reported GAAP net income (and the related per share measure) and its line item components certain items, as detailed in the reconciliation tables that follow, and in the case of non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure), adjust for the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. In this regard, the components of non-GAAP adjusted net income, including non-GAAP cost of product sales, non-GAAP SG&A expenses and non-GAAP R&D expenses, are income statement line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall non-GAAP adjusted net income measure.

The company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors and analysts. In particular, the company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the company's results from period to period and to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the company's business. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are regularly used by investors and analysts to model and track the company's financial performance. Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management also regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the company's business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial measures are important internal measurements for Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management, the company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts since these measures allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the company uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the company has ceased, and may in the future cease, to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, the company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in this press release and the accompanying tables have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
