- Encouraging initial launch of ZYNLONTA™ (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) driven by favorable product profile to address high unmet medical need in relapsed / refractory DLBCL market
- Company to host conference call today at 8:30 a.m. EDT
ADC Therapeutics SA (NYSE: ADCT), a commercial-stage biotechnology company improving the lives of those affected by cancer with its next-generation, targeted antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) for patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided business updates.
“We were thrilled to receive accelerated FDA approval for the first indication for ZYNLONTA™ and are encouraged by the momentum and positive feedback in the initial weeks following approval. We remain highly focused on the successful execution of the launch and positive about the longer-term potential of the product,” said Chris Martin, Chief Executive Officer of ADC Therapeutics. “During the second quarter, we were also pleased to present positive data on ZYNLONTA and our exciting pipeline of advancing programs at key medical meetings. Looking to the rest of the year, we have several notable milestones on the horizon and look forward to keeping you updated on our progress.”

Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents were $371.9 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $439.2 million as of December 31, 2020. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company drew down $50 million under its Convertible Credit Facility with Deerfield, which was contingent upon ZYNLONTA approval.
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses
R&D expenses were $39.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $26.0 million for the same quarter in 2020. R&D expenses increased due to investments in programs supporting the ZYNLONTA commercial launch and evaluating the potential of ZYNLONTA in earlier lines of treatment and additional histologies, and due to advancing the portfolio. As a result of these initiatives, employee headcount and share-based compensation expense increased.
Selling and Marketing (S&M) Expenses
During the second quarter of 2021, S&M expenses were $15.2 million, compared to $4.0 million for the same quarter in 2020. The increase in S&M expenses was related to the launch of ZYNLONTA. Prior to December 31, 2020, S&M expenses were reported within General and Administrative (“G&A”) expenses within the condensed consolidated interim statement of operations. The period ended June 30, 2020 has been recast to conform to the current year presentation.
G&A Expenses
G&A expenses were $19.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $15.0 million for the same quarter in 2020. G&A expenses increased due to higher headcount to support the commercial launch, increased share-based compensation expense and higher costs of being a public company.
Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss
Net loss was $72.6 million, or a net loss of $0.95 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $126.6 million, or a net loss of $2.01 per basic and diluted share, for the same quarter in 2020. Net loss included share-based compensation expense of $18.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $12.7 million for the same quarter in 2020. In addition, net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 includes a $2.1 million non-cash gain related to the changes in fair value of derivatives associated with the convertible loans under the Convertible Credit Facility with Deerfield, compared to a $79.3M charge for the same quarter in 2020. The decrease in fair value for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was driven by the decrease in the Company’s share price from March 31, 2021. The increase in fair value for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 was driven by the increase in the Company’s share price from the April 2020 inception of the derivative.
Adjusted net loss was $53.7 million, or an adjusted net loss of $0.70 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $32.1 million, or an adjusted net loss of $0.51 per basic and diluted share, for the same quarter in 2020. The increase in adjusted net loss was primarily driven by the expansion of the organization, investment in the expanding clinical portfolio and the preparation for the launch of ZYNLONTA.

About ZYNLONTA (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl)
ZYNLONTA is a CD19-directed antibody drug conjugate (ADC). Once bound to a CD19-expressing cell, ZYNLONTA is internalized by the cell, where enzymes release a pyrrolobenzodiazepine (PBD) payload. The potent payload binds to DNA minor groove with little distortion, remaining less visible to DNA repair mechanisms. This ultimately results in cell cycle arrest and tumor cell death.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ZYNLONTA (loncastuximab tesirine-lpyl) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified (NOS), DLBCL arising from low-grade lymphoma and also high-grade B-cell lymphoma. The trial included a broad spectrum of heavily pre-treated patients (median three prior lines of therapy) with difficult-to-treat disease, including patients who did not respond to first-line therapy, patients refractory to all prior lines of therapy, patients with double/ triple hit genetics and patients who had stem cell transplant and CAR-T therapy prior to their treatment with ZYNLONTA. This indication is approved by the FDA under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial.
ZYNLONTA is also being evaluated as a therapeutic option in combination studies in other B-cell malignancies and earlier lines of therapy.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS, this document also contains certain non-IFRS financial measures based on management’s view of performance including:
Management uses such measures internally when monitoring and evaluating our operational performance, generating future operating plans and making strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. We believe that these adjusted financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and facilitate operating performance comparability across both past and future reporting periods. These non-IFRS measures have limitations as financial measures and should be considered in addition to, and not in isolation or as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with IFRS. When preparing these supplemental non-IFRS measures, management typically excludes certain IFRS items that management does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Furthermore, management does not consider these IFRS items to be normal, recurring cash operating expenses; however, these items may not meet the IFRS definition of unusual or non-recurring items. Since non-IFRS financial measures do not have standardized definitions and meanings, they may differ from the non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, which reduces their usefulness as comparative financial measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider these adjusted financial measures alongside other IFRS financial measures.
The following items are excluded from adjusted net loss and adjusted net loss per share:
Shared-Based Compensation Expense: We exclude share-based compensation expense from our adjusted financial measures because share-based compensation expense, which is non-cash, fluctuates from period to period based on factors that are not within our control, such as our stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued. Share-based compensation expense has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a recurring expense in our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.
Certain Other Items: We exclude certain other significant items that may occur occasionally and are not normal, recurring operating expenses, cash or non-cash, from our adjusted financial measures. Such items are evaluated by management on an individual basis based on both quantitative and qualitative aspects of their nature and generally represent items that, either as a result of their nature or significance, management would not anticipate occurring as part of our normal business on a regular basis. While not all-inclusive, examples of certain other significant items excluded from our adjusted financial measures would be: changes in the fair value of derivatives, the gain recognized in connection with the receipt of the USD 50.0 million disbursement, establishment of the embedded derivative and residual loan, elimination of the derivative immediately prior to FDA approval of ZYNLONTA, the effective interest expense associated with the Facility Agreement with Deerfield, transaction costs associated with debt or equity issuances that are expensed pursuant to IFRS, as well as the non-cash gain related to the contribution of our intellectual property for our equity interest in Overland ADCT BioPharma.
See the attached Reconciliation of IFRS Measures to Non-IFRS Measures for explanations of the amounts excluded and included to arrive at the non-IFRS financial measures for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

(i)
Share-based compensation expense represents the cost of equity awards issued to our directors, management and employees. The fair value of awards is computed at the time the award is granted and is recognized over the vesting period of the award by a charge to the income statement and a corresponding increase in other reserves within equity. These accounting entries have no cash impact.
(ii)
Change in the fair value of the convertible loan derivatives results from the valuation at the end of each accounting period of the derivatives associated with the convertible loans as well as the gain recognized in connection with the receipt of the USD 50.0 million, establishment of the embedded derivative and residual loan associated with the Deerfield facility and elimination of the derivative immediately prior to FDA approval of ZYNLONTA during the second quarter of 2021, as explained in note 13, “Convertible notes” to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements. There are several inputs to these valuations, but those most likely to provoke significant changes in the valuations are changes in the value of the underlying instrument (i.e., changes in the price of our common shares) and changes in expected volatility in that price. These accounting entries have no cash impact.
(iii)
The transaction costs allocated to the convertible loan first and second tranche derivatives represent actual costs. These are not expected to recur on an ongoing basis.
(iv)
Effective interest expense relates to the increase in the value of our convertible loans in accordance with the effective interest method. As the initial value of the loans are recorded net of the value of the embedded derivatives, the increase in the loan value necessary to attain the amounts necessary to fund the cash outflows of interest payments, repayments of capital and exit fees are considerably higher than the payments of interest at coupon rate and of the exit fee.
