GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2019 was $102.3 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, compared to $149.3 million, or $2.41 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018. GAAP net income and EPS for the third quarter of 2019 included the impact of acquired in-process research and development expense primarily related to the company's acquisition of Cavion, Inc. (Cavion).

Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2019 was $235.3 million, or $4.10 per diluted share, compared to $221.7 million, or $3.58 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018. Reconciliations of applicable GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information are included at the end of this press release.

Key Corporate and R&D Updates

In August 2019, the company acquired Cavion in a merger transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, the former Cavion shareholders received an upfront payment of $52.5 million and have the potential to receive additional payments of up to $260.0 million upon the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones, for a total potential consideration of $312.5 million. Cavion's lead molecule, CX-8998, now JZP-385, has been evaluated in a Phase 2 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study and demonstrated proof-of-concept as a potential treatment for essential tremor.

In September 2019, the company presented positive results from the Phase 3 study of JZP-258, which demonstrate the efficacy of JZP-258 for the treatment of cataplexy and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in adults with narcolepsy. The JZP-258 study met its primary and key secondary endpoints demonstrating highly statistically significant differences in weekly number of cataplexy attacks and Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores compared to placebo. JZP-258 is a novel oxybate formulation with a unique composition of cations resulting in 92% less sodium, or approximately 1 to 1.5 grams less sodium per night, than Xyrem® (sodium oxybate) oral solution.

In October 2019, the company announced that the first patient was enrolled in an exploratory Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the ability of defibrotide to prevent neurotoxicity in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) receiving chimeric antigen receptor t-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy.

In October 2019, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation to JZP-458 for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)/lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL).

Today, the company announced that it expects to submit the JZP-258 New Drug Application (NDA) in January 2020 and plans to redeem its priority review voucher for this submission.

Today, the company announced that Mike Miller will retire from his role as Executive Vice President, U.S. Commercial effective March 31, 2020. Mr. Miller will continue as an employee of the company through June 30, 2020, to ensure a smooth transition to new leadership. The company plans to begin a search for Mr. Miller's successor soon.

Operating expenses changed over the prior year period primarily due to the following:

  • Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis primarily due to expenses related to the expansion of the company's business, including the U.S. launch of Sunosi.
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses increased in the third quarter of 2019 on a GAAP and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis primarily due to expenses related to the company's expanding pre-clinical and clinical development programs and support of its partner programs, including a milestone of $11.0 million payable to Pfenex, Inc. under a license and option agreement to develop and commercialize multiple early stage hematology product candidates. 

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2019, cash, cash equivalents and investments were $1.1 billion, and the outstanding principal balance of the company's long-term debt was $1.8 billion.

(Codiak) under a collaboration agreement.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the company repurchased approximately 1.5 million ordinary shares under the company's share repurchase program at an average cost of $131.48 per ordinary share. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining amount authorized for share repurchases was $188.1 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Jazz Pharmaceuticals' financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company uses certain non-GAAP (also referred to as adjusted or non-GAAP adjusted) financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. In particular, the company presents non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line item components, as well as certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures derived therefrom, including non-GAAP adjusted gross margin percentage and non-GAAP adjusted effective tax rate. Non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure) and its line item components exclude from reported GAAP net income (and the related per share measure) and its line item components certain items, as detailed in the reconciliation tables that follow, and in the case of non-GAAP adjusted net income (and the related per share measure), adjust for the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments and, as applicable, the income tax benefit related to an intra-entity intellectual property asset transfer and the impact of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Job Act (U.S. Tax Act). In this regard, the components of non-GAAP adjusted net income, including non-GAAP cost of product sales, non-GAAP SG&A expenses and non-GAAP R&D expenses, are income statement line items prepared on the same basis as, and therefore components of, the overall non-GAAP adjusted net income measure.

The company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors and analysts. In particular, the company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the company's financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors' and analysts' ability to meaningfully compare the company's results from period to period and to its forward-looking guidance, and to identify operating trends in the company's business. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are regularly used by investors and analysts to model and track the company's financial performance. Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management also regularly uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the company's business and to make operating decisions, and compensation of executives is based in part on certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. Because these non-GAAP financial measures are important internal measurements for Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management, the company also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and analysts since these measures allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the company uses in assessing its own operating performance and making operating decisions.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures; should be read in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the company has ceased, and may in the future cease, to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. Likewise, the company may determine to modify the nature of its adjustments to arrive at its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in this press release and the accompanying tables have limits in their usefulness to investors and may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Other risks and uncertainties of which the company is not currently aware may also affect the company's forward-looking statements and may cause actual results and the timing of events to differ materially from those anticipated.
