— Second Quarter Revenues Increase 29% Year-Over-Year to $195.2 Million; GAAP Loss per Share of $0.31 and Non-GAAP Loss per Share of $0.01 —
— Company Improves Financial Expectations for 2016 Driven by Strong VIVITROL® Performance —
— ARISTADA® Revenues Grow as Launch Progresses —
Alkermes plc (NASDAQ: ALKS) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2016.
“Our second quarter results demonstrate the power of our business model to efficiently capture operating leverage as our topline grows. These results reflect the growth of VIVITROL® and launch of ARISTADA® as well as the continued strength of our royalty and manufacturing business. VIVITROL’s robust growth continued as we expand access and utilization in the large Medicaid patient population. We are also encouraged by our progress with the launch of ARISTADA, for which our second quarter results were slightly ahead of expectations,” commented James Frates, Chief Financial Officer of Alkermes. “Today we are improving our financial expectations for 2016 to reflect the accelerating growth in VIVITROL net sales. With our highly diversified portfolio and strong financial position, we have the resources to advance our innovative pipeline and invest in the ongoing launch of ARISTADA and growth of VIVITROL.”
“Our proprietary commercial products, VIVITROL and ARISTADA, represent important growth opportunities at a time when substance abuse and mental illness are significant public health priorities,” said Richard Pops, Chief Executive Officer of Alkermes. “Against this backdrop, we continue to make important advances for VIVITROL and are just beginning to see what its ultimate potential may be. The launch of ARISTADA in the rapidly growing, long-acting antipsychotic market continues to progress well, with reimbursement and access initiatives advancing across the country. We are also making headway on our late-stage pipeline of product candidates: the phase 3 studies for ALKS 3831 for schizophrenia and ALKS 8700 for multiple sclerosis will enroll throughout the remainder of 2016, and we expect to report topline data from the FORWARD-5 study of ALKS 5461 for major depressive disorder by year-end.”

Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2016, Alkermes had cash and total investments of $677.7 million, compared to $798.8 million at Dec. 31, 2015. At June 30, 2016, the company’s total debt outstanding was $347.0 million. Alkermes expects to pay down $60.0 million of term loan upon maturity in September 2016. The remainder of the debt is due in September 2019.
Financial Expectations
Alkermes is updating its financial expectations for 2016 as a result of accelerating growth trends for VIVITROL, which are driving a $10 million increase in expected revenues and a corresponding $10 million improvement in GAAP net loss. This, in addition to certain changes to the calculation of non-GAAP measures, pursuant to guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), results in a $20 million improvement to non-GAAP net loss. The following outlines Alkermes’ updated financial expectations for 2016.

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 (loss) and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share. 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.
Following compliance and disclosure interpretations published by the SEC in May 2016, the company made certain changes to how it presents non-GAAP net income (loss). Non-GAAP net income (loss) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 adjusts for one-time and non-cash charges by excluding from GAAP results: share-based compensation expense; amortization; depreciation; non-cash net interest expense; certain other one-time or non-cash items; and the income tax effect of these reconciling items. Previously, non-GAAP net income (loss) excluded from GAAP results: the aforementioned items; an adjustment for deferred revenue recognized in the period; and an adjustment for non-cash tax expense, rather than the income tax effect of the reconciling items. The company revised its presentation for certain prior periods to reflect its current non-GAAP net income (loss) methodology. A reconciliation of the prior non-GAAP net income (loss) to the revised non-GAAP net income (loss) for such prior periods has been provided in the tables included in this press release. The company provides the following limited reconciling items under the previous methodology: deferred revenue of $0.5 million and non-cash taxes of $3.8 million for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2016; the company has provided this information for comparative purposes in connection with the transition to the new non-GAAP net income (loss) methodology, and will not provide this information on an ongoing basis.
The company’s management and Board of Directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance. The company provides these non-GAAP measures of the company’s performance to investors because 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. However, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP diluted earnings (loss) per share should not be considered measures of our liquidity.
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
