  • Net Product Sales $2.98B in Q4:16; Increased 17% Y/Y
  • Net Product Sales $11.18B in 2016; Increased 22% Y/Y
  • 2017 Guidance for Net Product Sales and Diluted EPS

SUMMIT, N.J.--()--Celgene Corporation (NASDAQ:CELG) reported operating results for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2016. For the fourth quarter of 2016, net product sales were $2,977 million, an increase of 17 percent, year-over-year. Net product sales growth includes a 0.3 percent negative impact from currency exchange effects. Fourth quarter total revenue increased 16 percent to $2,980 million.

Net product sales for the full-year of 2016 were $11,185 million, an increase of 22 percent year-over-year. Total revenue for the full-year of 2016 was $11,229 million, an increase of 21 percent year-over-year.

Based on U.S. GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), Celgene reported net income of $429 million and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.53 for the fourth quarter of 2016. For the fourth quarter of 2015, GAAP net income was $561 million and diluted EPS was $0.69. The decrease was primarily due to increased research and development (R&D) expenses as a result of the acquisition of Acetylon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and a fair value adjustment for an equity investment recorded in the fourth quarter of 2016. Full-year GAAP net income for 2016 was $1,999 million and diluted EPS was $2.49. Full-year GAAP net income for 2015 was $1,602 million and diluted EPS was $1.94.

Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2016 increased 34 percent to $1,290 million compared to $961 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. For the same period, adjusted diluted EPS increased 36 percent to $1.61 from $1.18.

Adjusted net income for the full-year 2016 increased 23 percent to $4,770 million. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 26 percent to $5.94 from $4.71 for the full-year of 2015.

“2016 was an outstanding year of progress strengthening our commercial portfolio and advancing our early-, mid- and late-stage pipeline,” said Mark J. Alles, Celgene’s Chief Executive Officer. “We expect our business momentum and significant near-term catalysts to drive high-growth through 2017 and beyond.”

Fourth Quarter and Full-year 2016 Financial Highlights

Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons are for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter and full-year of 2015. The adjusted operating expense categories presented below exclude share-based employee compensation expense, collaboration-related upfront expense, research and development asset acquisition expense and a litigation-related loss contingency accrual expense. Please see the attached Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Net Income for further information relevant to the interpretation of adjusted financial measures and reconciliations of these adjusted financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, respectively.

Net Product Sales Performance

  • REVLIMID® sales for the fourth quarter increased 16 percent to $1,808 million. Fourth quarter U.S. sales of $1,187 million and international sales of $621 million increased 24 percent and 3 percent, respectively. Full-year REVLIMID® sales were $6,974 million, an increase of 20 percent year-over year. Sales growth was driven primarily by increased volume as a result of increases in duration and new patients.
  • POMALYST®/IMNOVID® sales for the fourth quarter were $378 million, an increase of 29 percent year-over-year. Fourth quarter U.S. sales of $219 million and international sales of $159 million increased 29 percent and 28 percent, respectively. Full-year POMALYST®/IMNOVID® sales were $1,311 million, an increase of 33% year-over-year. Sales growth was driven primarily by increased volume as a result of increases in duration.
  • OTEZLA® sales in the fourth quarter were $305 million, a 67 percent increase year-over-year. Fourth quarter U.S. sales of $268 million and international sales of $37 million increased 60 percent and 137 percent, respectively. Full-year OTEZLA® sales were $1,017 million, an increase of 116 percent year-over-year. OTEZLA® uptake and market share gains continued to accelerate in the fourth quarter in the U.S. with increased contribution from early launch countries in Europe.
  • ABRAXANE® sales for the fourth quarter were $266 million, a decrease of 1 percent, year-over-year. U.S. sales were $171 million and international sales were $95 million, a decrease of 5 percent and an increase of 5 percent, respectively. Full-year ABRAXANE® sales were $973 million, an increase of 1 percent, year-over-year. ABRAXANE® market shares in pancreatic cancer, first-line advanced non-squamous lung cancer and metastatic breast cancer in the U.S. have remained stable. Growth in Europe was from market share gains for ABRAXANE® in pancreatic cancer.
  • In the fourth quarter, all other product sales, which include THALOMID®, ISTODAX®, VIDAZA® and an authorized generic version of VIDAZA® drug product in the U.S., were $220 million compared to $231 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Full-year sales for these products were $910 million compared to $938 million in full-year 2015.

Research and Development (R&D)

On a GAAP basis, R&D expenses were $1,135 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 versus $777 million for the same period in 2015. Full-year 2016 R&D expenses were $4,470 million compared to $3,697 million for 2015. Both the fourth quarter and full-year 2016 increases in R&D expenses on a GAAP basis were primarily due to R&D asset acquisition expenses and early research and clinical trial activity. The increase in full-year 2016 R&D expenses was partially offset by a decrease in collaboration-related upfront expenses.

Adjusted R&D expenses were $673 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $649 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. For the full-year 2016, adjusted R&D expenses were $2,508 million compared to $2,044 million for the full-year 2015. Both the fourth quarter and full-year 2016 increases in adjusted R&D expenses were primarily due to early research and clinical trial activity. The increase in fourth quarter adjusted R&D expenses was partially offset by a decrease in collaboration-related milestone expenses.

Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A)

On a GAAP basis, SG&A expenses were $685 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $609 million for the same period in 2015. Full-year SG&A expenses were $2,658 million for 2016 compared to $2,305 million for 2015. Both the fourth quarter and full-year 2016 increases in SG&A expenses were primarily due to a litigation-related loss contingency accrual expense.

Adjusted SG&A expenses were $534 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $533 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. For the full-year 2016, adjusted SG&A expenses were $2,139 million versus $2,011 million in 2015.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities

Operating cash flow was $3,976 million for 2016, an increase of 60 percent compared to 2015. For the full-year 2016, Celgene purchased approximately $2,160 million in shares. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $4,731 million remaining under the existing share repurchase program. The Company ended the year with $7,970 million in cash and marketable securities.

Forward-Looking Statement

This press release contains forward-looking statements, which are generally statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the words "expects," "anticipates," "believes," "intends," "estimates," "plans," "will," “outlook” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current plans, estimates, assumptions and projections, and speak only as of the date they are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in light of new information or future events, except as otherwise required by law. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. Actual results or outcomes may differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of the impact of a number of factors, many of which are discussed in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this document also contains certain non-GAAP financial measures based on management’s view of performance including:

  • Adjusted research and development expense
  • Adjusted selling, general and administrative expense
  • Adjusted operating margin
  • Adjusted net income
  • Adjusted earnings per share

Management uses such measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the Company. We believe these adjusted financial measures provide useful and meaningful information to us and investors because they enhance investors’ understanding of the continuing operating performance of our business and facilitate the comparison of performance between past and future periods. These adjusted financial measures are non-GAAP measures and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. When preparing these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures we typically exclude certain GAAP items that management does not consider to be normal, recurring, cash operating expenses but that may not meet the definition of unusual or non-recurring items. Other companies may define these measures in different ways. The following categories of items are excluded from adjusted financial results:

Acquisition and Divestiture-Related Costs: We exclude the impact of certain amounts recorded in connection with business combinations and divestitures from our adjusted financial results that are either non-cash or not normal, recurring operating expenses due to their nature, variability of amounts, and lack of predictability as to occurrence and/or timing. These amounts may include non-cash items such as the amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of purchase accounting adjustments to inventories, intangible asset impairment charges and expense or income related to changes in the estimated fair value measurement of contingent consideration. We also exclude transaction and certain other cash costs associated with business acquisitions and divestitures that are not normal recurring operating expenses, including severance costs which are not part of a formal restructuring program.

Share-based Compensation Expense: We exclude share-based compensation from our adjusted financial results 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.

Collaboration-related Upfront Expenses: We exclude collaboration-related upfront expenses from our adjusted financial results because we do not consider them to be normal, recurring operating expenses due to their nature, variability of amounts, and lack of predictability as to occurrence and/or timing. Upfront payments to collaboration partners are made at the commencement of a relationship anticipated to continue for a multi-year period and provide us with intellectual property rights, option rights and other rights with respect to particular programs. The variability of amounts and lack of predictability of collaboration-related upfront expenses makes the identification of trends in our ongoing research and development activities more difficult. We believe the presentation of adjusted research and development, which does not include collaboration-related upfront expenses, provides useful and meaningful information about our ongoing research and development activities by enhancing investors’ understanding of our normal, recurring operating research and development expenses and facilitates comparisons between periods and with respect to projected performance. All expenses incurred subsequent to the initiation of the collaboration arrangement, such as research and development cost-sharing expenses/reimbursements and milestone payments up to the point of regulatory approval are considered to be normal, recurring operating expenses and are included in our adjusted financial results.

Research and Development Asset Acquisition Expense: We exclude costs associated with acquiring rights to pre-commercial compounds because we do not consider such costs to be normal, recurring operating expenses due to their nature, variability of amounts, and lack of predictability as to occurrence and/or timing. Research and development asset acquisition expenses includes expenses to acquire rights to pre-commercial compounds from a collaboration partner when there will be no further participation from the collaboration partner or other parties. The variability of amounts and lack of predictability of research and development asset acquisition expenses makes the identification of trends in our ongoing research and development activities more difficult. We believe the presentation of adjusted research and development, which does not include research and development asset acquisition expenses, provides useful and meaningful information about our ongoing research and development activities by enhancing investors’ understanding of our normal, recurring operating research and development expenses and facilitates comparisons between periods and with respect to projected performance.

Restructuring Costs: We exclude costs associated with restructuring initiatives from our adjusted financial results. These costs include amounts associated with facilities to be closed, employee separation costs and costs to move operations from one location to another. We do not frequently undertake restructuring initiatives and therefore do not consider such costs to be normal, recurring operating expenses.

Certain Other Items: We exclude certain other significant items that may occur occasionally and are not normal, recurring, cash operating expenses from our adjusted financial results. Such items are evaluated on an individual basis based on both the quantitative and the qualitative aspect of their nature and generally represent items that, either as a result of their nature or magnitude, we 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 adjusted financial results would be: expenses for significant fair value adjustments to equity investments, significant litigation-related loss contingency accruals and expenses to settle other disputed matters.

Estimated Tax Impact From Above Adjustments: We exclude the net income tax impact of the non-tax adjustments described above from our adjusted financial results. The net income tax impact of the non-tax adjustments includes the impact on both current and deferred income taxes and is based on the taxability of the adjustment under local tax law and the statutory tax rate in the tax jurisdiction where the adjustment was incurred.

Non-Operating Tax Adjustments: We exclude the net income tax impact of certain other significant income tax items, which are not associated with our normal, recurring operations (“Non-Operating Tax Items”), from our adjusted financial results. Non-Operating Tax Items include items which may occur occasionally and are not normal, recurring operating expenses (or benefits), including adjustments related to acquisitions, divestitures, collaborations, certain adjustments to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits related to prior year tax positions, and other similar items.

See the attached Reconciliations of GAAP to Adjusted Net Income for explanations of the amounts excluded and included to arrive at the adjusted measures for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the projected amounts for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2017.
