Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On January 15, 2020, Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (“Company”) issued a press release announcing 2019 highlights and financial guidance, including the following:

 

2019 Financials

 

Ampyra® (dalfampridine) Extended Release Tablets, 10 mg 2019 net revenue is expected to be $162.6 million (unaudited).

 

Inbrija® (levodopa inhalation powder) 2019 net revenue is expected to be $15.3 million (unaudited).

 

The Company continues to expect full year 2019 non-GAAP operating expenses of $240-$250 million. This is a non-GAAP projection that excludes restructuring costs and share-based compensation as more fully described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

 

2019 year-end cash, cash equivalents, short term investments, and restricted cash were approximately $169 million (unaudited). Restricted cash includes $42.7 million in escrow related to the 6% semi-annual interest portion, payable in cash or stock, of the Company’s new convertible senior secured notes due 2024. If the Company elects to pay interest due in stock, the cash equivalent will be released from escrow.

 

Final results are subject to completion of the Company’s year-end audit.

 

Financial Guidance

 

Ampyra net revenue for the full year 2020 is expected to be $85-$110 million.

 

Inbrija net revenue for the full year 2020 is expected to be $35-$40 million.

 

Expected Inbrija U.S. annual peak sales has been revised to $300-$500 million.

 

Operating expenses for the full year 2020 are expected to be $170-$180 million, reduced from previous guidance of $180-$190 million.  This guidance is a non-GAAP projection that excludes restructuring costs and share-based compensation as more fully described below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

 

The Company also announced that it will be giving a presentation on Thursday, January 16 at the 38th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference.

 

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated by reference into this Item.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This report and Exhibit 99.1 include financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). In particular, the Company has provided 2019 and 2020 operating expense guidance on a non-GAAP basis, as the guidance excludes restructuring costs and share-based compensation charges. Reconciliations of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are not available at this time because our analysis of 2019 financial performance (including restructuring costs and share-based compensation expense) is ongoing, and because the 2020 financial measures are forward looking in nature and the amount of compensation charges needed to reconcile these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future changes in the market price of our common stock. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, the Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in conjunction with actual GAAP results, provides investors with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing and projected operating performance because they exclude (i) expenses that pertain to non-routine restructuring events, and (ii) non-cash charges that are substantially dependent on changes in the market price of our common stock. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the Company’s business and are important in comparing current results with prior period results and understanding expected operating performance. Also, management uses these non-GAAP

 


 

financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, and to manage the Company's business and to evaluate its performance.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report and Exhibit 99.1 include forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, regarding management's expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects should be considered forward-looking. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including: we may not be able to successfully market Inbrija or any other products under development; we may need to raise additional funds to finance our operations, repay outstanding indebtedness or satisfy other obligations, and we may not be able to do so on acceptable terms or at all; risks associated with complex, regulated manufacturing processes for pharmaceuticals, which could affect whether we have sufficient commercial supply of Inbrija to meet market demand; third party payers (including governmental agencies) may not reimburse for the use of Inbrija or our other products at acceptable rates or at all and may impose restrictive prior authorization requirements that limit or block prescriptions; competition for Inbrija, Ampyra and other products we may develop and market in the future, including increasing competition and accompanying loss of revenues in the U.S. from generic versions of Ampyra (dalfampridine) following our loss of patent exclusivity; the ability to realize the benefits anticipated from acquisitions, among other reasons because acquired development programs are generally subject to all the risks inherent in the drug development process and our knowledge of the risks specifically relevant to acquired programs generally improves over time; the risk of unfavorable results from future studies of Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder) or from our other research and development programs, or any other acquired or in-licensed programs ; the occurrence of adverse safety events with our products; the outcome (by judgment or settlement) and costs of legal, administrative or regulatory proceedings, investigations or inspections, including, without limitation, collective, representative or class action litigation; failure to protect our intellectual property, to defend against the intellectual property claims of others or to obtain third party intellectual property licenses needed for the commercialization of our products; and failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in adverse action by regulatory agencies.

 

These and other risks are described in greater detail in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We may not actually achieve the goals or plans described in our forward-looking statements, and investors should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements made in this report and Exhibit 99.1 are made only as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the date of this report.
