Financial Guidance

“While closing a deal for TRYVIO is a key focal point, we have also sharpened our cost-conscious approach, which we will increase going forward. Hence, we have been able to stretch the cash runway out to about year-end 2024, which allows us to appropriately plan and execute the next steps of our financial strategy. Furthermore, as a result of lower than expected spending we can upgrade our US GAAP and non-GAAP operating loss guidance by around 60 million Swiss francs each, taking them to 260 million and 350 million Swiss francs, respectively.”


Arno Groenewoud                                            (October 2024)
Chief Financial Officer

 

For 2024 – excluding unforeseen events – the company expects QUVIVIQ net sales of around CHF 55 million; SG&A expenses of around CHF 265 million; R&D expenses of around CHF 130 million for Idorsia-led pipeline assets; non-GAAP operating expenses of around CHF 400 million. This performance would result in a non-GAAP operating loss of around CHF 350 million (excluding contract revenues and the one-off benefit from the Viatris deal).

The company expects US GAAP operating loss for 2024 to reach CHF 260 million which includes a one-off benefit of CHF 125 million from the Viatris deal.

Net revenue of CHF 53 million in the first nine months of 2024 is the result of QUVIVIQ product sales (CHF 39 million), product sales to partners in the Asia-Pacific-Region (CHF 9 million) and contract revenue recognized in connection with Owkin (CHF 3 million). This compares to CHF 131 million in the first nine months of 2023, which included CHF 34 million sales of PIVLAZ in Japan (assigned in the meantime to Nxera Pharma as part of a transaction, more details can be found in the dedicated press release) and CHF 68 million one-off impact of the Nxera deal as well as CHF 4 million revenue share from Johnson & Johnson related to ponesimod sales (revenue-sharing agreement now eliminated as part of the reacquisition of aprocitentan, more details can be found in the dedicated press release).

US GAAP operating expenses in the first nine months of 2024 benefited from extraordinary income of CHF 125 million from the Viatris deal resulting in an expense of CHF 211 million (CHF 275 million in the first nine months of 2023), of which CHF 16 million related to cost of sales (CHF 7 million in the first nine months of 2023), CHF 111 million to R&D expenses (CHF 235 million in the first nine months of 2023), and CHF 209 million to SG&A expenses (CHF 318 million in the first nine months of 2023).

US GAAP net loss in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to CHF 180 million (CHF 181 million net loss in the first nine months of 2023). The net loss was favorably impacted by a one-off income related to the Viatris deal of CHF 125 million (CHF 302 million one-off income related to the Nxera deal in the first nine months of 2023) and lower operating expenses throughout all functions.

The US GAAP net loss resulted in a basic net loss per share of CHF 1.00 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2024, compared to a net loss per share of CHF 1.02 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2023.

* Idorsia measures, reports and issues guidance on non-GAAP operating performance. Idorsia believes that these non-GAAP financial measurements more accurately reflect the underlying business performance and therefore provide useful supplementary information to investors. These non-GAAP measures are reported in addition to, not as a substitute for, US GAAP financial performance.

Non-GAAP net loss in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to CHF 258 million: the CHF 78 million difference versus US GAAP net loss was mainly due to the one-off effect of the Viatris deal (CHF 125 million income), depreciation and amortization (CHF 14 million), share-based compensation (CHF 17 million) and a consent fee paid in shares to the bondholders resulting from amended terms of the 2024 convertible bonds (CHF 14 million).

The non-GAAP net loss resulted in a net loss per share of CHF 1.43 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2024, compared to a net loss per share of CHF 2.36 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2023.
