Puma Biotechnology Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBYI), a biopharmaceutical company, announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons are for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022.

Product revenue, net consists entirely of sales revenue from NERLYNX®, Puma’s first commercial product. Product revenue, net in the second quarter of 2023 was $51.6 million, an increase from $51.3 million reported for the second quarter of 2022. Product revenue, net in the first six months of 2023 was $98.3 million, compared to $92.0 million in the first six months of 2022.

Based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), Puma reported net income of $2.1 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $9.4 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. Net income for the first six months of 2023 was $3.5 million, or $0.08 per basic share and $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.0 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, for the first six months of 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $4.6 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $12.6 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for the first six months of 2023 was $8.8 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, compared to $12.3 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share, for the first six months of 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net income excludes stock-based compensation expense. For a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted net income and GAAP net income per share to non-GAAP adjusted net income per share, please see the financial tables at the end of this news release.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter of 2023 was $3.3 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $13.9 million in the second quarter of 2022. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2023 was $5.9 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $40.8 million in the first six months of 2022. At June 30, 2023, Puma had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $74.4 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $81.1 million at December 31, 2022.

“We are pleased to report both positive net income and positive cash flow for the second quarter of 2023,” said Alan H. Auerbach, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Puma. “In addition, we announced positive biomarker data from the randomized trial of alisertib plus paclitaxel versus paclitaxel alone in hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer at the recent 2023 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), which will be helpful as we move forward with the clinical development of alisertib in this indication.”

Mr. Auerbach added, “We anticipate the following key milestones over the next 12 months: (i) initiating a Phase II clinical trial of alisertib in small cell lung cancer (H2 2023); (ii) conducting a meeting with the FDA to discuss the clinical development and registration pathway for alisertib in hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (Q4 2023); and (iii) reporting data from an ongoing investigator sponsored Phase I/II trial of alisertib plus pembrolizumab for the treatment of patients with Rb-deficient head and neck squamous cell cancer (H2 2023).”

Revenue

Total revenue consists of product revenue, net from sales of NERLYNX, Puma’s first commercial product, license revenue from Puma’s sub-licensees and royalty revenue. For the second quarter of 2023, total revenue was $54.6 million, of which $51.6 million was net product revenue and $3.0 million was royalty revenue. This compares to total revenue of $59.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, of which $51.3 million was net product revenue and $8.2 million was royalty revenue. For the first six months of 2023, total revenue was $107.3 million, of which $98.3 million was net product revenue and $9.0 million was royalty revenue. This compares to total revenue for the first six months of 2022 of $105.3 million, of which $92.0 million was net product revenue and $13.3 million was royalty revenue.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total operating costs and expenses were $49.7 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $47.4 million for the second quarter of 2022. Operating costs and expenses in the first six months of 2023 were $98.0 million, compared to $94.0 million in the first six months of 2022.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $14.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. Cost of sales was $25.1 million for the first six months of 2023, compared to $25.8 million for the first six months of 2022. The decrease was due to lower royalty expense related primarily to the timing of sales made in China by Puma’s sub-licensee, partially offset by increased intangible amortization related to the $12.5 million paid to Pfizer for meeting a commercial sales milestone as of December 31, 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $24.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2022. SG&A expenses for the first six months of 2023 were $46.8 million, compared to $41.0 million for the first six months of 2022. The $5.8 million year-over-year increase for the first six months resulted primarily from an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $4.7 million, consisting of approximately $2.5 million due to salary and headcount increases in 2023, as well as a $2.0 million tax credit related to the CARES Act received during the period ended June 30, 2022. In addition, professional fees and expenses increased approximately $0.8 million from the first six months of 2022.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $13.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to $11.9 million for the second quarter of 2022. R&D expenses for the first six months of 2023 were $26.1 million, compared to $27.2 million for the first six months of 2022. The $1.1 million year-over-year decrease for the first six months resulted primarily from a decrease in clinical trial expense of approximately $3.6 million, primarily due to the reduction and closure of SUMMIT clinical trial sites, partially offset by an increase in internal R&D of approximately $2.9 million, due primarily to a $1.8 million tax credit related to the CARES Act received during the period ended June 30, 2022, as well as an increase in payroll-related expenses in 2023.

Total Other Income (Expenses)

Total other expenses were $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, essentially unchanged from the second quarter of 2022. Total other expenses were $5.4 million for the first six months of 2023, compared to total other expenses of $5.2 million for the first six months of 2022. The $0.2 million year-over-year increase in other expenses for the first six months of 2023 reflects higher interest rates on our outstanding notes as well as imputed interest on a legal settlement, largely offset by increased interest income.

About Puma Biotechnology

Puma Biotechnology, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company with a focus on the development and commercialization of innovative products to enhance cancer care. Puma in-licensed the global development and commercialization rights to PB272 (neratinib, oral), PB272 (neratinib, intravenous) and PB357. Neratinib, oral was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer, following adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy, and is marketed in the United States as NERLYNX® (neratinib) tablets. In February 2020, NERLYNX was also approved by the FDA in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of adult patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. NERLYNX was granted marketing authorization by the European Commission in 2018 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage hormone receptor-positive HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer and who are less than one year from completion of prior adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy. NERLYNX is a registered trademark of Puma Biotechnology, Inc.

In September 2022, Puma entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development and commercialization of the anti-cancer drug alisertib, a selective, small molecule, orally administered inhibitor of aurora kinase A. Initially, Puma intends to focus the development of alisertib on the treatment of small cell lung cancer and breast cancer.

To help ensure patients have access to NERLYNX, Puma has implemented the Puma Patient Lynx support program to assist patients and healthcare providers with reimbursement support and referrals to resources that can help with financial assistance. More information on the Puma Patient Lynx program can be found at https://www.NERLYNX.com or by calling 1-855-816-5421.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to operating results as calculated in accordance with GAAP, Puma uses certain non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating operational performance. The following table presents the Company’s net income and net income per share calculated in accordance with GAAP and as adjusted to remove the impact of stock-based compensation expense. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, stock-based compensation represented approximately 6.4% and 7.2% of total selling, general and administrative expense and research and development expense, respectively and 9.9% and 9.3% for the same periods in 2022. Puma’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to enhance understanding of Puma’s financial performance, are more indicative of its operational performance, and facilitate a better comparison among fiscal periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP reporting measures.
