BIOGEN REPORTS Q3 2019 REVENUES OF $3.6 BILLION
GAAP diluted EPS increased 17%; Non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 24%
SPINRAZA revenues grew 17% versus prior year and 12% versus prior quarter
VUMERITY demonstrated superior gastrointestinal tolerability versus TECFIDERA
Biogen added two new clinical programs in Parkinson’s disease and brain contusion
Cambridge, Mass., October 22, 2019 -- Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB) today reported third quarter 2019 financial results.
“Biogen delivered solid performance in the third quarter driven by continued resilience from our MS core business and growth from SPINRAZA and biosimilars,” said Michel Vounatsos, Biogen’s Chief Executive Officer. “SPINRAZA continued on a strong trajectory, particularly outside the U.S., and we are preparing for the expected launch of VUMERITY, which we believe will be an important addition to our market-leading multiple sclerosis portfolio. In addition to the recent news on aducanumab, we made strong progress in our pipeline as we initiated new clinical programs targeting Parkinson’s disease and brain contusion, and we look forward to nine important data readouts by the end of next year. We continue to believe that our core focus on neuroscience will lead to new innovative treatments for patients and will maximize long-term returns for our shareholders.”

Recent Events

• | This week Biogen is presenting new data from the Company’s anti-TNF biosimilar portfolio, which includes FLIXABI (infliximab) and IMRALDI (adalimumab), highlighting real-world evidence confirming the safety and efficacy of anti-TNF biosimilars for patients with inflammatory bowel disease. These data are being presented at the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week 2019.

• | In October 2019 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a tentative approval for VUMERITYTM (diroximel fumarate), a novel oral fumarate with a distinct chemical structure, for the treatment of relapsing forms of MS. Additionally, in July 2019 Biogen and Alkermes plc announced positive topline results from EVOLVE-MS-2, a large, randomized, double-blind, five-week, Phase 3 study of VUMERITY for relapsing-remitting MS, compared to TECFIDERA (dimethyl fumarate). VUMERITY was statistically superior to TECFIDERA on the study’s pre-specified primary endpoint, with patients treated with VUMERITY self-reporting significantly fewer days of key gastrointestinal symptoms with intensity scores ≥ 2 on the Individual Gastrointestinal Symptom and Impact Scale (IGISIS), as compared to TECFIDERA (p=0.0003).

• | In October 2019 Biogen dosed the first patient in a Phase 2 study of BIIB093 (glibenclamide IV) for brain contusion.

• | In October 2019 Biogen announced that the journal Neuromuscular Disorders published data from NURTURE, the first study investigating a treatment targeting the underlying cause of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in infants treated pre-symptomatically. Data from the NURTURE study demonstrated that infants who initiated treatment with SPINRAZA prior to the onset of clinical symptoms attained unparalleled results compared to the natural history of the disease. As of March 2019 all participants were alive, without the need for permanent ventilation, and experienced continuous improvements with the majority achieving motor milestones in timelines consistent with normal development. The results also demonstrated durability of effect with children making progress throughout the study. These published results from the NURTURE study were previously presented at the 2019 Cure SMA Annual SMA Conference and the 5th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology.

• | In October 2019 the European Medicines Agency updated the summaries of product characteristics (SmPCs) for AVONEX and PLEGRIDY to remove pregnancy contraindications and, where clinically needed, to allow use during pregnancy and breastfeeding in women with relapsing MS.

• | In September 2019 Biogen presented new data further demonstrating the safety and efficacy of treatment with SPINRAZA in individuals with later-onset SMA at the 13th Congress of the European Paediatric Neurology Society. An integrated analysis from SHINE, an open-label extension study for patients with SMA who participated in prior SPINRAZA studies, found that children with later-onset SMA (Type 2 or Type 3) experienced improvements or stabilization in one or more measures of motor function for up to nearly six years, in contrast to the expected decline observed in natural history cohorts.

• | In September 2019 Biogen announced that it plans to initiate a new study evaluating whether a higher dose of SPINRAZA can offer even greater efficacy in treating SMA. DEVOTE is a Phase 2/3 randomized, controlled dose-escalating study that will be conducted at 50 sites around the world with a projected enrollment of 126 individuals with SMA of all ages, including adults.

• | In September 2019 Roche announced that the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to GAZYVA for adults with lupus nephritis. This designation was granted based on data from the Phase 2

NOBILITY study in adult patients with proliferative lupus nephritis which showed GAZYVA, in combination with standard of care (mycophenolate mofetil or mycophenolic acid and corticosteroids), demonstrated enhanced efficacy compared to placebo plus standard of care alone in achieving complete renal response at one year. In the U.S., GAZYVA is part of a collaboration between Biogen and Genentech, Inc., a wholly-owned member of the Roche Group.

• | In September 2019 Biogen announced that it has been ranked the #1 biotechnology company on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the fourth time, after being the first U.S.-based biotech company to ever make the list in 2013.

• | In September 2019 Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen announced the decision to discontinue the Phase 3 clinical studies (MISSION AD1 and MISSION AD2) of the investigational oral BACE (beta amyloid cleaving enzyme) inhibitor elenbecestat (development code: E2609) in patients with early AD.

• | In September 2019 Biogen presented new data at the 35th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in MS (ECTRIMS) and 24th Annual Conference of Rehabilitation in MS. Key data included new 10-year results from the ongoing Phase 3 ENDORSE extension study and comparative effectiveness analyses of TECFIDERA, interim data from the Phase 3 EVOLVE-MS-1 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of VUMERITY, data from the TYSABRI Observational Program evaluating the effectiveness of every six weeks (Q6W) dosing, and data supporting that exposure to interferon beta treatment, including PLEGRIDY and AVONEX, before conception and/or during pregnancy is not expected to have an adverse effect on pregnancy or infant growth outcomes.

• | In August 2019 Biogen dosed the first patient in the Phase 1 study of BIIB094 (ION859), an antisense oligonucleotide targeting leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) for Parkinson’s disease.

• | In August 2019 Biogen discontinued the Phase 2b study of BG00011 for IPF due to safety concerns.

Leadership Updates

• | In October 2019 Biogen announced that Alfred Sandrock, Jr., M.D., Ph.D., has been named Executive Vice President, Research and Development, in addition to his responsibilities as Chief Medical Officer, and Alphonse Galdes, Ph.D., has been appointed Executive Vice President, Pharmaceutical Operations and Technology. Michael D. Ehlers, M.D., Ph.D., has stepped down as Executive Vice President, Research and Development to pursue a new external career opportunity.

Notes to GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
A Amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, reflects the impact of a $215.9 million impairment charge related to certain in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets associated with the Phase 2b study of BG00011 (STX-100) for the potential treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which was discontinued during the third quarter of 2019 due to safety concerns. We also adjusted the value of our contingent consideration obligations related to this asset resulting in a gain of $61.2 million in the third quarter of 2019.
Amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, reflects the impact of impairment charges related to certain IPR&D assets associated with our vixotrigine (BIIB074) program totaling $189.3 million. During the third quarter of 2018 we completed the Phase 2b study for vixotrigine for the potential treatment of painful lumbosacral radiculopathy (PLSR). The study did not meet its primary or secondary efficacy endpoints and we discontinued development of vixotrigine for the potential treatment of PLSR. As a result, we recognized an impairment charge of approximately $60.0 million during the third quarter of 2018 to reduce the fair value of the IPR&D intangible asset to zero.
In addition, we delayed the initiation of the Phase 3 studies of vixotrigine for the potential treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TGN) as we awaited the outcome of ongoing interactions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding the design of the Phase 3 studies, a more detailed review of the data from the Phase 2b study of vixotrigine for the potential treatment of PLSR and insights from the Phase 2 study of vixotrigine for the potential treatment of small fiber neuropathy. We reassessed the fair value of the TGN program using reduced expected lifetime revenues, higher expected clinical development costs and a lower cumulative probability of success. As a result of that assessment, we recognized an impairment charge of $129.3 million during the third quarter of 2018 to reduce the fair value of the TGN IPR&D intangible asset to $41.8 million at that date. We also adjusted the value of our contingent consideration obligations related to the TGN program to reflect the lower cumulative probabilities of success resulting in a gain of $89.6 million in the third quarter of 2018.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to the prior year period, the decrease in amortization of acquired intangible assets, excluding impairment charges, was primarily due to a net overall decrease in our expected rate of amortization for acquired intangible assets. This decrease was primarily due to lower amortization subsequent to the impairment in the fourth quarter of 2018 of the U.S. license to Forward Pharma A/S' (Forward Pharma) intellectual property, including Forward Pharma's intellectual property related to TECFIDERA, and higher expected lifetime revenues of TYSABRI.

B On August 1, 2019, we completed our sale of all of the outstanding shares of our subsidiary that owned our biologics manufacturing operations in Hillerød, Denmark to FUJIFILM Corporation (FUJIFILM). Upon the closing of this transaction, we received approximately $881.9 million in cash, which is subject to the finalization of certain working capital adjustments and may be further adjusted based on other contractual terms, which are discussed below. We determined that the operations disposed of in this transaction did not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations under the applicable guidance.
As part of this transaction, we have provided FUJIFILM with certain minimum batch production commitment guarantees. There is a risk that the minimum contractual batch production commitments will not be met. Based upon current estimates we expect to incur an adverse commitment obligation of approximately $114.0 million associated with such guarantees. We may adjust this estimate based upon changes in business conditions, which may result in the recognition of additional losses. We also may be obligated to indemnify FUJIFILM for liabilities that existed relating to certain business activities incurred prior to the closing of this transaction.
In addition, we may earn certain contingent payments based on future manufacturing activities at the Hillerød facility. For the disposition of a business, our policy is to recognize contingent consideration when the consideration is realizable. We currently believe the probability of earning these payments is remote and therefore we did not include these contingent payments in our calculation of the fair value of the operations.
As part of this transaction, we entered into certain manufacturing services agreements with FUJIFILM pursuant to which FUJIFILM will use the Hillerød facility to produce commercial products for us, such as TYSABRI, as well as other third-party products.
In connection with this transaction we recognized a total net loss of approximately $160.2 million in our condensed consolidated statements of income. This loss included a pre-tax loss of $95.5 million, which reflects a decrease of $17.7 million to our previously recorded pre-tax loss. The loss recognized was based on exchange rates and business conditions on the closing date of this transaction, and included costs to sell our Hillerød, Denmark manufacturing operations of approximately $11.2 million and our estimate of the fair value of an adverse commitment of $114.0 million associated with the guarantee of future minimum batch production at the Hillerød facility. The value of this adverse commitment was determined using a probability-weighted estimate of future manufacturing activity. We also recorded a tax expense of $64.7 million related to this transaction.
C Net distribution to noncontrolling interests reflects the $50.0 million payment to Neurimmune SubOne AG (Neurimmune), net of Neurimmune's tax, to further reduce the previously negotiated royalty rates payable on products developed under our amended collaboration and license agreement with Neurimmune, including royalties payable on potential commercial sales of aducanumab, an investigational treatment for early Alzheimer's disease, by an additional 5%.
D Stock option expense reflects the accelerated vesting of stock options previously granted to Nightstar Therapeutics plc (NST) employees as a result of our acquisition of NST in the second quarter of 2019.
E 2017 corporate strategy implementation and restructuring charges are related to our efforts to create a leaner and simpler operating model.
F During the third quarter of 2019 a new taxing regime in the country and certain cantons of Switzerland was enacted and we refer to this as Swiss Tax Reform. As a result of the impact of Swiss Tax Reform, we recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $54.3 million resulting from a remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
G Amortization included in Equity in loss of investee, net of tax represents the amortization of the differences between the fair value of our investment in Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. and the carrying value of our interest in the underlying net assets of the investee. These basis differences are amortized over their economic life.
H In June 2018 we closed a 10-year exclusive agreement with Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Ionis) to develop novel antisense oligonucleotide drug candidates for a broad range of neurological diseases (the 2018 Ionis Agreement) for a total payment of $1.0 billion, consisting of an upfront payment of $375.0 million and the purchase of approximately 11.5 million shares of Ionis common stock at a cost of $625.0 million.
The 11.5 million shares of Ionis common stock were purchased at a premium to their fair value at the transaction closing date. The premium consisted of acquiring the shares at a price above the fair value based on the trailing 10-day weighted-average close price prior to entering into the 2018 Ionis Agreement in April 2018 and the effect of certain holding period restrictions. We recorded an asset of $462.9 million in investments and other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets reflecting the fair value of the common stock as of the purchase date and a charge of $162.1 million to research and development expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income in the second quarter of 2018 reflecting the premium paid for the common stock.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing additional measures which may be considered “Non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules. We believe that the disclosure of these Non-GAAP financial measures provides additional insight into the ongoing economics of our business and reflects how we manage our business internally, set operational goals and form the basis of our management incentive programs. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for reported, or GAAP, net income attributable to Biogen Inc. and diluted earnings per share.
Our “Non-GAAP net income attributable to Biogen Inc.” and “Non-GAAP earnings per share - Diluted” financial measures exclude the following items from “GAAP net income attributable to Biogen Inc.” and “GAAP earnings per share - Diluted”:
1. Acquisition and divestiture related costs
We exclude transaction, integration and certain other costs related to the acquisition and divestiture of businesses. We exclude certain purchase accounting related items associated with the acquisition of assets and amounts in relation to the consolidation or deconsolidation of variable interest entities. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, charges for in-process research and development and certain milestones, the amortization and impairment of intangible assets, charges or credits from the fair value remeasurement of our contingent consideration obligations and losses on assets and liabilities held for sale.
2. Restructuring, business transformation and other cost saving initiatives
We exclude costs associated with our execution of certain strategies and initiatives to streamline operations, achieve targeted cost reductions, rationalize manufacturing facilities or refocus R&D activities. These costs may include employee separation costs, retention bonuses, facility closing and exit costs, asset impairment charges or additional depreciation when the expected useful life of certain assets have been shortened due to changes in anticipated usage and other costs or credits that management believes do not have a direct correlation to our ongoing or future business operations.
3. (Gain) loss on equity security investments
We exclude unrealized and realized gains and losses and discounts or premiums on our equity security investments as we do not believe that these components of income or expense have a direct correlation to our ongoing or future business operations.
4. Other items
We evaluate other items of income and expense on an individual basis and consider both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including (i) its size and nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. We also include an adjustment to reflect the related tax effect of all reconciling items within our reconciliation of our GAAP to Non-GAAP net income attributable to Biogen Inc. and earnings per share - diluted.
