WILMINGTON, Del.--()--Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today reports 2022 third quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s clinical development portfolio.

“Our total net product revenues grew 20% year over year led by strong Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) performance and an increasing contribution from Opzelura(ruxolitinib) cream. Over 62,000 units of Opzelura were shipped in the quarter with growth fueled by both atopic dermatitis and vitiligo. This strong demand, coupled with an expansion of reimbursement coverage, positions Opzelura to become a meaningful long-term growth driver for Incyte,” said Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. “Additionally, our pipeline is progressing across Oncology and Dermatology, and we continue to execute on our strategy for growth and diversification with multiple updates on key programs expected over the next several months.”

Inflammation and Autoimmunity (IAI) – key highlights

Dermatology

Opzelura growth coming from both atopic dermatitis (AD) and vitiligo in the U.S.: Over 62,000 units of Opzelura were shipped in the third quarter with positive physician and patient experiences continuing to fuel uptake in AD. The launch in vitiligo is progressing well, contributing to the growth in overall demand. An increasing number of plans are adding Opzelura to formularies, helping to drive net product revenues to $38 million, a growth of 130% versus prior quarter.

Ruxolitinib cream in other indications: Incyte continues to expand the development of ruxolitinib cream into new indications as we seek to maximize the opportunity with Opzelura. Two Phase 2 trials evaluating ruxolitinib cream in lichen planus and lichen sclerosus are in preparation. Lichen planus is a recurrent inflammatory condition affecting the skin and mucosal surfaces and can result in itchy, purple bumps on the skin. Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory skin disease most commonly affecting women and can result in painful ulcers and intense itching.

Povorcitinib (INCB54707): In August, results from the randomized Phase 2 trial evaluating povorcitinib in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) were presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) 31st Congress. Based on the positive Phase 2 results, Incyte plans to initiate a Phase 3 study in HS by end of this year.

Acquisition of Villaris Therapeutics further complements dermatology portfolio: In October, Incyte announced an agreement to acquire Villaris Therapeutics, an asset-centric biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel antibody therapeutics for vitiligo. Its lead asset, auremolimab (VM6) is a novel, ultra-humanized anti-IL-15Rβ monoclonal antibody designed to target and deplete autoreactive resident memory T cells (TRM) that has demonstrated efficacy as a treatment for vitiligo in preclinical models. Incyte will receive exclusive global rights to develop and commercialize auremolimab for all uses, including in vitiligo and other autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. IND-enabling studies are currently underway, and clinical development for auremolimab is expected to begin in 2023. The agreement is subject to clearance by the U.S. antitrust authorities under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and will become effective as soon as this condition has been met.

2022 Third Quarter Financial Results

The financial measures presented in this press release for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), unless otherwise identified as a Non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that Non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with Incyte’s GAAP disclosures. Management uses such information internally and externally for establishing budgets, operating goals and financial planning purposes. These metrics are also used to manage the Company’s business and monitor performance. The Company adjusts, where appropriate, for expenses in order to reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company believes these adjustments are useful to investors by providing an enhanced understanding of the financial performance of the Company’s core operations. The metrics have been adopted to align the Company with disclosures provided by industry peers.

Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used in conjunction with and to supplement Incyte’s operating results as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in our industry.

As changes in exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, Management believes the presentation of certain revenue results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand its operating results and evaluate its performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current year results using prior year foreign currency exchange rates and generally refers to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange or being on a constant currency basis. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a constant currency basis, as the Company presents them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

1.Percentage change in constant currency is calculated using 2021 foreign exchange rates to recalculate 2022 results.

Product and Royalty Revenues Product and royalty revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased over the prior year comparative period as a result of net product revenues increasing 20% year-over-year, primarily driven by increases in Jakafi and Opzelura net product revenues. Jakafi net product revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased 13% over the prior year comparative period, primarily driven by growth in patient demand across all indications. Jakavi and Olumiant royalties for the quarter were impacted by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, while Olumiant royalties were also impacted by a decrease in net product sales of Olumiant for use as a treatment for COVID-19 and a one-time deduction related to securing intellectual property rights.

Research and development expenses GAAP and Non-GAAP research and development expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased 15% and 16%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to continued investment in our late stage development assets and certain upfront and milestone payments. Excluding the $33.5 million of upfront and milestone payments for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, GAAP and Non-GAAP research and development expense increased approximately 6% and 7%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2021.

Selling, general and administrative expenses GAAP and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased 40% and 47%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to expenses related to our dermatology commercial organization and activities to support the launch of Opzelura for the treatments of atopic dermatitis and vitiligo.

Other Financial Information

Operating income GAAP operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 decreased compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to an increase in operating expenses partially offset by growth in net product revenues.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities position As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $3.0 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively.

2022 Financial Guidance

Incyte is tightening its full year 2022 guidance for Jakafi net product revenues to reflect strong performance of Jakafi and is revising the guidance range for other Hematology/Oncology net product revenues to reflect unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Company is reaffirming its research and development guidance, which now also includes the upfront payment to Villaris, anticipated in the fourth quarter, and its selling, general and administrative expense guidance. Guidance does not include revenue from any potential new product launches or the impact of any potential future strategic transactions. Incyte’s updated guidance is summarized below.

Opzelura, a novel cream formulation of Incyte’s selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, is the first and only topical JAK inhibitor approved for use in the United States, indicated for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older and for the topical short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in non-immunocompromised patients 12 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable. Use of Opzelura in combination with therapeutic biologics, other JAK inhibitors, or potent immunosuppressants, such as azathioprine or cyclosporine, is not recommended.

In October 2021, Incyte announced the validation of the European Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for ruxolitinib cream as a potential treatment for adolescents and adults (age >12 years) with non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement.

Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of ruxolitinib cream, marketed in the United States as Opzelura.

Opzelura is a trademark of Incyte.

About Monjuvi®/Minjuvi® (tafasitamab)

Tafasitamab is a humanized Fc-modified cytolytic CD19 targeting immunotherapy. In 2010, MorphoSys licensed exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize tafasitamab from Xencor, Inc. Tafasitamab incorporates an XmAb® engineered Fc domain, which mediates B-cell lysis through apoptosis and immune effector mechanism including Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity (ADCC) and Antibody-Dependent Cellular Phagocytosis (ADCP).

In the United States, Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in combination with lenalidomide for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL not otherwise specified, including DLBCL arising from low grade lymphoma, and who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

In Europe, Minjuvi® (tafasitamab) received conditional approval, in combination with lenalidomide, followed by Minjuvi monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).

Tafasitamab is being clinically investigated as a therapeutic option in B-cell malignancies in several ongoing combination trials.

Minjuvi® and Monjuvi® are registered trademarks of MorphoSys AG. Tafasitamab is co-marketed by Incyte and MorphoSys under the brand name Monjuvi® in the U.S., and marketed by Incyte under the brand name Minjuvi® in Europe and Canada.

XmAb® is a registered trademark of Xencor, Inc.

About Pemazyre® (pemigatinib)

Pemazyre is a kinase inhibitor indicated in the United States for the treatment of adults with previously treated, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or other rearrangement as detected by an FDA-approved test*. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate and duration of response. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

Pemazyre is also the first targeted treatment approved for use in the United States for treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms (MLNs) with FGFR1 rearrangement.

In Japan, Pemazyre is approved for the treatment of patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer (BTC) with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion gene, worsening after cancer chemotherapy.

In Europe, Pemazyre is approved for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or rearrangement that have progressed after at least one prior line of systemic therapy.

Pemazyre is a potent, selective, oral inhibitor of FGFR isoforms 1, 2 and 3 which, in preclinical studies, has demonstrated selective pharmacologic activity against cancer cells with FGFR alterations.

Pemazyre is marketed by Incyte in the United States, Europe and Japan.

Pemazyre is a trademark of Incyte Corporation.
