Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALTH) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.
Financial Highlights:
“We are pleased with the sales growth we achieved in 2011 and the continued increase in market penetration, disease-state awareness and brand awareness of FOLOTYN for patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma,” commented Paul L. Berns, president and chief executive officer of Allos Therapeutics. “We enter 2012 with a strong cash position and remain focused on growing U.S. sales of FOLOTYN while prudently managing our operating expenses to drive toward future profitability. Also, in collaboration with Mundipharma, we continue to pursue regulatory approval for FOLOTYN in the EU and other ex-U.S. geographies as well as future label expansion opportunities in T-cell lymphoma.”
The Company’s net product sales for full year 2011 were $50.5 million, compared to $35.2 million for 2010. For the fourth quarter of 2011, net product sales were $15.4 million, compared to $13.2 million for the third quarter of 2011. When excluding certain infrequently occurring items, net product sales for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $11.0 million, an 8% increase compared to $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2011. These infrequently occurring items include: (i) $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2011 relating to the sale of FOLOTYN for use in a clinical trial to be conducted by a third party, (ii) $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 relating to an increase in our distributors’ year-end 2011 inventory levels as compared to average inventory levels for 2011, and (iii) $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 relating to the release of gross-to-net sales allowances due to refined estimates.
In May 2011, Allos entered into a strategic collaboration agreement with Mundipharma International Corporation Limited (Mundipharma) and received an upfront payment of $50 million. License and other revenue related to the Mundipharma agreement for the fourth quarter and full year 2011 were $1.5 million and $30.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, $20.3 million was recorded as deferred revenue related to the Mundipharma agreement.
Cost of sales for the fourth quarter and full year 2011 were $1.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $3.6 million for the same periods in 2010.
Cost of license and other revenue for the fourth quarter and full year 2011 were $0.7 million and $11.7 million, respectively. The amount recorded for the full year 2011 was primarily related to the Company’s payment of $10.0 million (or 20% of the $50 million upfront payment the Company received from Mundipharma) to the licensors of FOLOTYN under the terms of the Company’s license agreement with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, SRI International, and Southern Research Institute.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2011 were $4.6 million and $22.2 million, respectively, compared to $8.3 million and $31.4 million for the same periods in 2010. R&D expenses for full year 2011 include $3.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2011 were $11.4 million and $67.8 million, respectively, compared to $21.6 million and $78.8 million for the same periods in 2010. SG&A expenses for full year 2011 include $8.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
Total operating costs and expenses, excluding cost of sales, cost of license and other revenue and non-cash stock-based compensation expense, were $78.9 million for full year 2011, lower than the Company’s prior guidance of $82 to $84 million.
Net loss for the fourth quarter 2011 was $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to a net loss of $18.1 million, or $0.17 per share, for the same period in 2010. Net loss for the full year 2011 was $25.5 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to $77.4 million, or $0.74 per share, for the same period in 2010.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no debt, and cash, cash equivalents and investments totaling $97.8 million.
Financial Guidance
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $97.8 million in total cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company expects its cash position will be sufficient to fund operations through at least early 2015. This projection is based on certain assumptions for modeling purposes only (and in the case of future revenue levels, should not be considered the Company’s financial guidance), including: (i) annual net product sales and cost of sales for 2012 through 2015 remaining consistent with the Company’s actual results for fiscal year 2011, and (ii) annual cash-based operating expenditures, excluding cost of sales, non-cash stock-based compensation and depreciation expense and net of expected reimbursements from Mundipharma for jointly funded clinical trials, approximating $72 to $75 million per year for 2012 through 2015.
Growth in U.S. sales and/or potential milestone payments and royalties associated with regulatory approval of FOLOTYN in the European Union have the potential to further extend the Company’s cash resources assuming operating costs remain consistent with the Company’s projections.
Non-GAAP financial information is utilized by the Company’s management to provide a useful measure of the Company’s operating performance. Non-GAAP financial information herein includes the financial guidance related to projected operating expenditures for 2012 through 2015. The Company reports the expected reimbursements from Mundipharma as license and other revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles but has netted such reimbursements against its operating expenditures for purposes of presentation herein.

About Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma
T-cell lymphomas account for approximately 10% to 15% of all cases of non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL).1-3 Allos estimates the current annual incidence of PTCL to be approximately 5,900 patients in the U.S. and approximately 6,000 to 7,000 patients in the top five European markets. The outcome of patients with PTCL is poor and the majority of patients ultimately have refractory disease to a variety of agents, including multi-agent chemotherapy with CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone) or CHOP-like regimens. The 5-year overall survival rate in these patients is 25% to 40%, depending on sub-type.4-5
About FOLOTYN
FOLOTYN, a folate analogue metabolic inhibitor, was discovered by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, SRI International and Southern Research Institute and developed by Allos Therapeutics. In September 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval for FOLOTYN for use as a single agent for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL. This indication is based on overall response rate. Clinical benefit such as improvement in progression-free survival or overall survival has not been demonstrated. FOLOTYN has been available to patients in the U.S. since October 2009. An updated analysis of data from PROPEL, the pivotal study of FOLOTYN in patients with relapsed or refractory PTCL, was published in the March 20, 2011 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology. FOLOTYN has patent protection through 2017, potentially through July 2022, assuming a five-year patent term extension through the Hatch-Waxman Act.
