Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACOR) provided a financial update for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
“Our focus has been on ensuring physician awareness and clearing a pathway for access to Inbrija. We have been receiving encouraging feedback on Inbrija from physicians suggesting it should become standard of care for the treatment of Parkinson’s. This is consistent with market research from healthcare professionals and people living with Parkinson’s indicating that Inbrija will become a significant product,” said Ron Cohen, M.D., Acorda's President and CEO. “Acorda’s recent restructuring, albeit difficult, substantially reduced our expense structure, so that we may more effectively focus our resources on the launch of Inbrija and the restructuring of our convertible debt.”
Third Quarter 2019 Financial Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company reported INBRIJA net revenue of $4.9 million. INBRIJA became commercially available on February 28, 2019.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company reported AMPYRA net revenue of $37.6 million compared to $137.8 million for the same quarter in 2018. In September 2018, AMPYRA lost its exclusivity and generics entered the market. Consequently, the Company expects AMPYRA revenue to continue to decline.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 were $16.1 million, including $0.7 million of share-based compensation compared to $22.9 million, including $1.1 million of share-based compensation for the same quarter in 2018.
Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 were $48.7 million, including $2.4 million of share-based compensation compared to $43.6 million, including $4.0 million of share-based compensation for the same quarter in 2018.
The Company reviewed its goodwill for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 as part of its normal reporting process. The Company determined that a triggering event occurred due to a decline in the trading price of the Company’s common stock at and around the end of the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Based on the analysis performed, the Company determined that the goodwill was fully impaired and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $277.6 million.
Provision for income taxes for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $0.02 million compared to a provision for income taxes of $38.0 million for the same quarter in 2018.
The Company reported a GAAP net loss of $263.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, or $5.55 per diluted share. GAAP net loss in the same quarter of 2018 was $13.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share.
Non-GAAP net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $21.9 million, or $0.46 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income in the same quarter of 2018 was $8.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. This quarterly non-GAAP net (loss) income measure, more fully described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” excludes share-based compensation charges, non-cash interest charges on our debt, changes in the fair value of acquired contingent consideration, and goodwill impairment charges. A reconciliation of the GAAP financial results to non-GAAP financial results is included with the attached financial statements.
At September 30, 2019, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $253 million. The Company has $345 million of convertible senior notes due in 2021 with a conversion price of $42.56.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes financial results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), and also certain historical and forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures. In particular, Acorda has provided non-GAAP net (loss) income, adjusted to exclude the items below, and has provided 2019 guidance for R&D and SG&A expenses on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP net (loss) income, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results, provides investors with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing and projected operating performance because this measure excludes (i) non-cash compensation charges and benefits that are substantially dependent on changes in the market price of our common stock, (ii) non-cash interest charges related to the accounting for our outstanding convertible debt which are in excess of the actual interest expense owing on such convertible debt, as well as non-cash interest related to the Fampyra monetization, and acquired Biotie debt, (iii) changes in the fair value of acquired contingent consideration which do not correlate to our actual cash payment obligations in the relevant periods, (iv) goodwill impairment which is a non-cash charge that relates to a reduction in the market capitalization of the Company and is not routine to the operation of the business, and (v) expenses that pertain to non-routine restructuring events. The Company believes its non-GAAP net (loss) income measure helps indicate underlying trends in the Company's business and is important in comparing current results with prior period results and understanding projected operating performance. Also, management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to establish budgets and operational goals, and to manage the Company's business and to evaluate its performance.
In addition to non-GAAP net (loss) income, we have provided 2019 and 2020 guidance for R&D and SG&A expenses on a non-GAAP basis, as both exclude restructuring costs and share-based compensation charges. Due to the forward looking nature of this information, the amount of compensation charges needed to reconcile these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future changes in the market price of our common stock and is not available at this time. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results, provides investors with a more meaningful understanding of our projected operating performance because they exclude (i) expenses that pertain to non-routine restructuring events, and (ii) non-cash charges that are substantially dependent on changes in the market price of our common stock. Also, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, and to manage the Company's business and to evaluate its performance.

Forward-Looking Statement
This press release includes forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, regarding management's expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects should be considered forward-looking. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including: we may not be able to successfully market Inbrija or any other products under development; risks associated with complex, regulated manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals, which could affect whether we have sufficient commercial supply of Inbrija to meet market demand; third party payers (including governmental agencies) may not reimburse for the use of Inbrija or our other products at acceptable rates or at all and may impose restrictive prior authorization requirements that limit or block prescriptions; competition for Inbrija, Ampyra and other products we may develop and market in the future, including increasing competition and accompanying loss of revenues in the U.S. from generic versions of Ampyra (dalfampridine) following our loss of patent exclusivity; the ability to realize the benefits anticipated from acquisitions, among other reasons because acquired development programs are generally subject to all the risks inherent in the drug development process and our knowledge of the risks specifically relevant to acquired programs generally improves over time; we may need to raise additional funds to finance our operations and may not be able to do so on acceptable terms; the risk of unfavorable results from future studies of Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder) or from our other research and development programs, or any other acquired or in-licensed programs ; the occurrence of adverse safety events with our products; the outcome (by judgment or settlement) and costs of legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings, investigations or inspections, including, without limitation, collective, representative or class action litigation; failure to protect our intellectual property, to defend against the intellectual property claims of others or to obtain third party intellectual property licenses needed for the commercialization of our products; and failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in adverse action by regulatory agencies.
These and other risks are described in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may not actually achieve the goals or plans described in our forward-looking statements, and investors should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements made in this press release are made only as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this press release.
