— Record Revenues of $618.8 Million and Non-GAAP Diluted EPS of $0.35 for Calendar 2014 —
— Preparing for Launch of Aripiprazole Lauroxil and Advancing Pivotal Development Programs for ALKS 5461, ALKS 3831 and ALKS 8700 —
Alkermes plc (NASDAQ: ALKS) today reported financial results for the twelve months ended Dec. 31, 2014 and provided financial expectations for 2015.
“We had a tremendous year of achievement in 2014, marked by successful execution of our ambitious business plan and exciting clinical validation of our development pipeline, as we continue on our path to create a major biopharmaceutical company. In the last two months, the momentum has continued as we reported positive data for three potential blockbuster opportunities: ALKS 5461 in major depressive disorder, ALKS 3831 in schizophrenia and ALKS 8700 for multiple sclerosis,” said Richard Pops, Chief Executive Officer of Alkermes. “We have major opportunities ahead in 2015, as we advance this pipeline of valuable CNS medicines. We are preparing to launch aripiprazole lauroxil as an important new treatment option for patients with schizophrenia and their caregivers, and we look forward to continued clinical progress across the rest of our development pipeline in 2015.”
“Our financial results for 2014 were ahead of expectations, demonstrating our successful performance and the strength of our business model. We ended the year with more than $800 million in cash and investments, which provides the financial flexibility to further execute on our strategic plan, including resources to invest in a remarkable late-stage pipeline that we control entirely,” commented James Frates, Chief Financial Officer of Alkermes. “Our financial expectations for 2015 reflect investments in this increasingly valuable late-stage pipeline, as well as significant investment in our commercial organization in preparation for the launch of aripiprazole lauroxil later this year.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), including non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and free cash flow. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Management defines its non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
The company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, better indicate underlying trends in ongoing operations and cash flows. However, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and free cash flow are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements set forth above may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including, but not limited to: statements concerning future financial and operating performance, business plans or prospects; the likelihood of continued revenue growth from the company’s commercial products; the therapeutic and commercial value of the company’s products; and expectations concerning the timing and results of clinical development activities, including regulatory approval of aripiprazole lauroxil. The company cautions that forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. Although the company believes that such statements are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business and operations, the forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees and they are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. Actual performance and results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: clinical development activities may not be completed on time or at all and the results of such activities may not be predictive of real-world results or of results in subsequent clinical trials; regulatory submissions may not occur or be submitted in a timely manner; the company, and its partners, may not be able to continue to successfully commercialize its products; there may be a reduction in payment rate or reimbursement for the company’s products or an increase in the company’s financial obligations to governmental payers; the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or regulatory authorities outside the U.S. may make adverse decisions regarding the company’s products; the company’s products may prove difficult to manufacture, be precluded from commercialization by the proprietary rights of third parties, or have unintended side effects, adverse reactions or incidents of misuse; and those risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the company’s Transition Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended Dec. 31, 2013, and in any other subsequent filings made by the company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
