Amgen Reports Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Oct. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2019. Key results include:

    --  Total revenues decreased 3% to $5.7 billion in comparison to the third
        quarter of 2018, reflecting the impact of biosimilar and generic
        competition against key products.
        --  Although product sales declined 1% globally, units grew double
            digits or better for Prolia(®) (denosumab), Repatha(®)
            (evolocumab), Aimovig(®) (erenumab-aooe), Parsabiv(®
            )(etelcalcetide), KYPROLIS(®) (carfilzomib) and BLINCYTO(®
            )(blinatumomab).
    --  GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased 14% to $3.27 benefited by lower
        weighted-average shares outstanding and higher operating income.
        --  GAAP operating income increased 7% to $2.5 billion and GAAP
            operating margin increased 3.1 percentage points to 45.3%.
    --  Non-GAAP EPS decreased 1% to $3.66 as a result of lower revenue, offset
        partially by lower weighted-average shares outstanding.
        --  Non-GAAP operating income decreased 6% to $2.8 billion and non-GAAP
            operating margin decreased 2.8 percentage points to 51.1%.
    --  The Company generated $3.2 billion of free cash flow in the third
        quarter of 2019 versus $3.1 billion in the third quarter of 2018.
    --  2019 total revenues guidance revised to $22.8-$23.0 billion; EPS
        guidance to $12.50-$12.80 on a GAAP basis and $14.20-$14.45 on a
        non-GAAP basis. This guidance excludes the impact of the Otezla(®
        )(apremilast) acquisition.
    --  The Company expects the Otezla acquisition to close before the end of
        the fourth quarter.

"Amgen continues to execute well in a dynamic environment, with many of our innovative medicines delivering double-digit, volume-driven growth, complemented by the strong performance of our recently launched biosimilar products," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer. "We continue to advance numerous first-in-class medicines in our pipeline, while also pursuing external opportunities that will contribute to our long-term growth, such as our pending acquisition of Otezla."

Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis

On a GAAP basis:

    --  Total Operating Expenses decreased 9%. Cost of Sales margin increased
        0.2 percentage points due primarily to unfavorable product mix, offset
        partially by lower manufacturing costs. Research & Development (R&D)
        expenses increased 8% driven primarily by increased spending in research
        and early pipeline in support of our oncology programs, offset partially
        by decreased spending in support of marketed products. Selling, General
        & Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 5% driven primarily by lower
        general and administrative expenses as well as the end of certain
        amortization of intangible assets in 2018. Other operating expenses
        decreased due primarily to an impairment charge in the prior period
        associated with a nonkey intangible asset acquired in a business
        combination.
    --  Operating Margin increased 3.1 percentage points to 45.3%.
    --  Tax Rate increased 2.4 percentage points due primarily to a prior-year
        tax benefit associated with intercompany sales under U.S. corporate tax
        reform.

On a non-GAAP basis:

    --  Total Operating Expenses were flat. Cost of Sales margin increased 0.1
        percentage points due primarily to unfavorable product mix, offset
        partially by lower manufacturing costs. R&D expenses increased 8% driven
        primarily by increased spending in research and early pipeline in
        support of our oncology programs, offset partially by decreased spending
        in support of marketed products. SG&A expenses decreased 5% driven
        primarily by lower general and administrative expenses.
    --  Operating Margin decreased 2.8 percentage points to 51.1%.
    --  Tax Rate increased 2.2 percentage points due primarily to a prior-year
        tax benefit associated with intercompany sales under U.S. corporate tax
        reform.

    --  On a non-GAAP basis, EPS in the range of $14.20 to $14.45 and a tax rate
        in the range of 14% to 15%.
        --  Previously, the Company expected non-GAAP EPS in the range of $13.75
            to $14.30 and a tax rate in the range of 14% to 15%.
    --  Capital expenditures to be approximately $650 million.
    --  2019 Guidance does not include the Otezla acquisition which is expected
        to close by the end of the fourth quarter.

Third Quarter Product and Pipeline Update

The Company provided the following updates on selected product and pipeline programs:

Research

    --  In September, the Company announced that it joined a consortium to
        perform the whole genome sequencing of approximately 500,000
        participants in the UK Biobank. deCODE Genetics, a wholly-owned
        subsidiary of Amgen, will provide the whole genome sequencing for the
        project, along with the Wellcome Sanger Institute.

Tezepelumab

    --  A Phase 3 Study evaluating the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in
        adults and adolescents with severe uncontrolled asthma has completed
        enrollment, with the primary analysis expected in late 2020.
    --  A Phase 2 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of tezepelumab in
        adults with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary
        disease is enrolling patients.

AMG 570

    --  A Phase 2 study of AMG 570, a bispecific inhibitor of ICOSL and BAFF, is
        enrolling patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

EVENITY

    --  In October, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the
        European Medicines Agency adopted a positive opinion recommending
        Marketing Authorization for EVENITY for the treatment of severe
        osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fracture, with a
        contraindication for patients with a history of myocardial infarction or
        stroke.

KYPROLIS

    --  In September, the Phase 3 CANDOR study evaluating KYPROLIS in
        combination with dexamethasone and DARZALEX(®) (daratumumab) (KdD)
        compared to KYPROLIS and dexamethasone alone (Kd) met its primary
        endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS), demonstrating a 37%
        reduction in the risk of disease progression or death in patients with
        relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma treated with KdD. The median PFS
        for patients treated with Kd alone was 15.8 months, while the median PFS
        for patients treated with KdD had not been reached by the cut-off date.

BLINCYTO

    --  In September, an open-label, randomized, controlled global multicenter
        Phase 3 trial evaluating BLINCYTO compared to conventional consolidation
        chemotherapy in pediatric patients with high-risk, B-cell acute
        lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at first relapse met its primary endpoint
        of event-free survival at a prespecified interim analysis.
    --  In September, an open-label, randomized, controlled multicenter Phase 3
        trial in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. conducted by the
        Children's Oncology Group (COG) in pediatric B-cell ALL patients at
        first relapse closed to accrual for the high-risk and intermediate
        risk-arm based on the recommendation of the COG Data Monitoring
        Committee. The closure decision was based on a strong trend towards
        improved disease-free survival and improved overall survival, markedly
        lower toxicity and better minimal residual disease clearance for
        BLINCYTO compared to chemotherapy.

Nplate

    --  In October, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a
        Supplemental Biologics License Application for Nplate to include new
        data in its U.S. prescribing information showing sustained platelet
        responses in adults with immune thrombocytopenia. The updated indication
        expands treatment to newly diagnosed and persistent adult ITP patients
        who have had an insufficient response to corticosteroids,
        immunoglobulins or splenectomy.
    --  A Phase 3 trial evaluating Nplate for the treatment of
        chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in patients receiving chemotherapy
        for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, ovarian cancer or
        breast cancer is enrolling patients.

AMG 510

    --  The Company discussed clinical data from the first-in-human study that
        was presented at medical conferences in Q3.
    --  The Phase 2 non-small cell lung cancer monotherapy study continues to
        enroll patients.
    --  Initial cohort of colorectal cancer patients has been enrolled at the
        target dose in a Phase 2 monotherapy study, and as the data mature, the
        Company will determine the development path for colorectal cancer.
    --  The next clinical data update for AMG 510 is expected in 2020.

ABP 798 (biosimilar rituximab)

    --  In August, a Phase 3 study in patients with CD20-positive B-cell
        non-Hodgkin's lymphoma met its primary endpoint. The primary endpoint,
        as assessment of overall response rate by week 28, was within the
        prespecified margin for ABP 798 compared to Rituxan(®) (rituximab),
        showing clinical equivalence.
    --  Submission of a Biologics License Application in the U.S. for ABP 798 is
        expected in Q1 2020.

Tezepelumab is being developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca PLC

EVENITY is developed in collaboration with UCB globally, as well as our joint venture partner Astellas in Japan

Rituxan is a registered trademark of Genentech

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this news release, management has presented its operating results for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, management has presented its full year 2019 EPS and tax rate guidance in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are computed by excluding certain items related to acquisitions, restructuring and certain other items from the related GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the news release. Management has also presented Free Cash Flow (FCF), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018. FCF is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow, each as determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to enhance an investor's overall understanding of the financial performance and prospects for the future of the Company's ongoing business activities by facilitating comparisons of results of ongoing business operations among current, past and future periods. The Company believes that FCF provides a further measure of the Company's liquidity.

The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth in the news release in connection with its own budgeting and financial planning internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. The non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Amgen. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any statements on the outcome, benefits and synergies of the acquisition of Otezla, including anticipated Otezla sales growth and the timing of non-GAAP EPS accretion, as well as estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial metrics, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, reimbursement activities and outcomes and other such estimates and results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission reports filed by Amgen, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Unless otherwise noted, Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Our results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products including biosimilars, difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products and global economic conditions. In addition, sales of our products are affected by pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny and reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products, including our devices, after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. In addition, our business may be impacted by the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors, or we may fail to prevail in present and future intellectual property litigation. We perform a substantial amount of our commercial manufacturing activities at a few key facilities, including in Puerto Rico, and also depend on third parties for a portion of our manufacturing activities, and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. We rely on collaborations with third parties for the development of some of our product candidates and for the commercialization and sales of some of our commercial products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to many of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Certain of our distributors, customers and payers have substantial purchasing leverage in their dealings with us. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to acquire other companies or products and to integrate the operations of companies we have acquired may not be successful. A breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and our data. Our stock price is volatile and may be affected by a number of events. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock. We may not be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

     (a) The adjustments related primarily
          to noncash amortization of
          intangible assets acquired in
          business combinations.




     (b) For the three and nine months ended
          September 30, 2018, the
          adjustments related primarily to
          an impairment charge associated
          with a nonkey in-process research
          and development asset.




     (c) For the nine months ended September
          30, 2018, the adjustment related
          to the net gain associated with
          the Kirin-Amgen, Inc., share
          acquisition.




     (d) The tax effect of the adjustments
          between our GAAP and non-GAAP
          results takes into account the tax
          treatment and related tax rate(s)
          that apply to each adjustment in
          the applicable tax
          jurisdiction(s). Generally, this
          results in a tax impact at the
          U.S. marginal tax rate for certain
          adjustments, including the
          majority of amortization of
          intangible assets, whereas the tax
          impact of other adjustments,
          including restructuring expense,
          depends on whether the amounts are
          deductible in the respective tax
          jurisdictions and the applicable
          tax rate(s) in those
          jurisdictions. Due to these
          factors, the effective tax rates
          for the adjustments to our GAAP
          income before income taxes, for
          the three and nine months ended
          September 30, 2019, were 29.0% and
          25.3%, compared with 22.4% and
          23.9% for the corresponding
          periods of the prior year.




     (e) The adjustments related primarily
          to certain acquisition items and
          prior-period items excluded from
          GAAP earnings.

                transactions that have not yet

                not include the effect of GAAP
                adjustments triggered by events
                that may occur subsequent to this
                press release such as
                acquisitions, asset impairments,
                litigation and changes in the fair
                value or our contingent
                consideration.
