Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009 Financial Results
- Achieved Record Annual Net Product Sales of $115 Million in 2009
- Increases Product Sales and Net Income Guidance for 2010
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2009.
Total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 were $38.3 million, compared to $19.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 were $128.4 million, compared to $67.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Contract revenues for 2009 of $11.1 million included the recognition of a $10.0 million milestone payment from UCB Pharma Limited received in 2008.
XYREM® (sodium oxybate) oral solution net sales increased 100% to $31.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared to net sales of $15.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. XYREM net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased 80% to $96.8 million, compared with $53.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Net sales of once-daily LUVOX CR® (fluvoxamine maleate) Extended-Release Capsules, launched in April 2008, increased 86% to $5.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared to $3.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. LUVOX CR net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased 220% to $18.3 million, compared with $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.
"2009 was a tremendous year for Jazz Pharmaceuticals in continuing our mission to help improve patients' lives. Our sales team delivered outstanding performance in 2009, educating physicians on the appropriate use of our products, which resulted in records for prescriptions of both XYREM and LUVOX CR," said Bob Myers, President of Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 were $6.3 million, compared to $14.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, research and development expenses were $36.6 million, compared to $70.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Research and development expenses in both 2009 and 2008 primarily reflect the expenses relating to Phase III clinical activities for the company's JZP-6 product candidate, sodium oxybate for the treatment of fibromyalgia. In 2009, the company completed the second of two Phase III clinical studies and submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for JZP-6 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December. The NDA for JZP-6 was filed by the FDA in February 2010 and the target date for the FDA to complete its review under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) is October 11, 2010.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 were $15.7 million, compared to $20.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses were $58.7 million, compared to $111.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in 2009 relative to 2008 was primarily due to reduced numbers of employees and lower marketing and promotional expenses for LUVOX CR, which was launched in 2008.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals' net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $5.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $56.9 million, or $2.04 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the net loss was $6.8 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to a net loss of $184.3 million, or $7.19 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2008. Contributing to the net loss in 2008 was a fourth quarter non-cash impairment charge of $29.8 million relating to the company's LUVOX CR intangible asset.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals' adjusted net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 was $10.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. Adjusted net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $1.5 million, or $0.05 per share. Adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from GAAP net income/(loss) and GAAP net income/(loss) per diluted share revenue related to upfront and milestone payments and gains on sales of product rights, and certain expenses comprised of amortization and impairment of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and interest expense associated with a debt discount and debt issuance costs. A reconciliation of adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) per diluted share to GAAP net income/(loss) and GAAP net income/(loss) per diluted share, respectively is available in a table included at the end of this press release.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals' cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2009 totaled $15.6 million, excluding restricted cash of $3.0 million.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals is increasing its full year 2010 guidance for product sales and net income per diluted share, reflecting continued growth in XYREM and LUVOX CR net sales. Jazz Pharmaceuticals is also reiterating the 2010 guidance on expenses issued in January 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial results and financial guidance presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) per diluted share as shown in the tables above. These measures exclude (1) revenue related to upfront and milestone payments and gains on sales of products, and (2) certain expenses comprised of amortization and impairment of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and interest expense associated with a debt discount and debt issuance costs. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. In addition, we believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures enhances the ability of investors to compare our results both from period to period and with those of other companies. Investors should note that adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) per diluted share, as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by our competitors and other companies.
