in Market Moves

NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a global biopharmaceutical company pioneering and delivering innovative therapies that transform the lives of patients with rare diseases, today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

NPS Pharma reported net global Gattex®/Revestive® sales of $22.0 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared to $4.8 million for the same period last year. NPS Pharma continues to expect to achieve full-year 2014 global net sales of $100 to $110 million representing more than 200 percent year-over-year growth.

“Our gastrointestinal rare disease franchise continues to flourish with the success of Gattex in the U.S., including the expansion of our label to include long-term data from the STEPS 2 study,” said Francois Nader, MD, president and chief executive officer of NPS Pharma. “Internationally, we are pleased with the progress we are making toward the commercialization of Revestive in key EU markets, and the execution of our development strategy in Japan.”

Dr. Nader added: “We continue to progress our high-potential endocrinology franchise toward commercialization. We are preparing for an FDA Advisory Committee meeting on September 12 as part of the Agency’s review of our Biologic License Application for Natpara and PDUFA date of October 24. Commercial readiness remains a key focus to prepare for the subsequent successful U.S. introduction of Natpara. We are also preparing to file our Marketing Authorization Application for Natpar, the European brand name for Natpara. And we expect to report preliminary data late this year or early next year from our recently initiated Phase 2a study of NPSP795 in autosomal dominant hypocalcemia.”

Financial Results

Net income (loss)

NPS Pharma reported net income of $2.0 million or $0.02 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2014 compared to a net loss of $12.4 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Revenues

The company’s revenues were comprised of net product sales for Gattex/Revestive and royalty revenues. Net sales were $22.0 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $4.8 million for the same period last year. In February 2013, NPS Pharma launched and initiated sales of Gattex in the U.S.

Royalty revenues were $34.2 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $31.7 million for the same period last year. NPS earns royalties on (i) Amgen’s sales of Sensipar®/Mimpara® (cinacalcet HCl), (ii) Kyowa Hakko Kirin’s sales of REGPARA® (cinacalcet HCl), and (iii) Janssen Pharmaceuticals’ sales of NUCYNTA® (tapentadol) and NUCYNTA® ER (tapentadol extended-release tablets).

The components of royalties are summarized as follows:

In millions       Three months ended     Six months ended
        June 30,     June 30,
        2014   2013     2014   2013
Royalty:                      
Sensipar       $31.6   $28.9     $54.7   $51.1
REGPARA       1.9   2.0     4.3   3.9
NUCYNTA and other       0.7   0.8     1.3   1.5
Total       $34.2   $31.7     $60.3   $56.5

 On August 15, 2014, the company will receive a cash payment of $23.6 million for the Sensipar/Mimpara royalties earned during the second quarter of 2014. The remaining $8.0 million of Sensipar/Mimpara royalties will be retained to repay a royalty advance received in August 2011 from Amgen. At June 30, 2014, NPS Pharma had $40.6 million in non-recourse debt secured by its Sensipar royalties.

Research and development

Research and development expenses were $21.2 million for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $30.9 million for the same period last year. The decline was attributable to a decrease in costs related to the production of pre-approval Natpara inventory.

Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $26.4 million for the second quarter of 2014 as compared to $14.5 million for the same period last year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to commercial activities related to Gattex/Revestive and pre-launch activities for Natpara.

Interest expense

Interest expense was $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $3.0 million for the same period last year. Interest expense was largely attributable to non-recourse debt secured by the company’s Sensipar/Mimpara, rhPTH 1-84, and REGPARA revenues.

Cash and investments

The company’s cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment securities were approximately $169.5 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $180.5 million at December 31, 2013.

Non-recourse debt

At June 30, 2014, all debt on the company’s balance sheet is non-recourse and secured solely by royalties related to Sensipar/Mimpara, REGPARA, and worldwide sales, excluding Israel, of PTH 1-84. After repayment of these obligations, the cash flows from these royalties will revert to NPS Pharma in accordance with the terms set forth in each agreement.

The following table reflects the company’s non-recourse debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

In millions            
      June 30, 2014     December 31, 2013
Non-recourse debt:            
Sensipar/Mimpara-secured     $40.7     $54.4
PTH 1-84-secured (worldwide, excluding Israel)     42.8     42.8
REGPARA-secured     33.3     35.2
Total non-recourse debt     116.8     132.4
Less current portion     9.3     8.8
Total long-term non-recourse debt     $107.5     $123.6

 2014 Financial Guidance

The company is reiterating its full-year 2014 net sales guidance of $100 to $110 million.

The company continues to expect full-year 2014 operating expenses, excluding the impact of share-based compensation and cost of goods sold, to be between $180 and $200 million. NPS Pharma reported share-based compensation of $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

The foregoing financial guidance comprises projections based on numerous assumptions, all of which are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with these forward-looking statements, please see the disclosure notice below.
