Incyte Reports 2023 Second Quarter Financial Results and Provides Updates on Key Clinical Programs

Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today reports 2023 second quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s clinical development portfolio.

"We delivered a strong quarter with total net product revenues growing 25% year over year led by double-digit Jakafi (ruxolitinib) growth and continued momentum from Opzelura (ruxolitinib) cream in atopic dermatitis and vitiligo in the United States," said Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. "We continue to advance multiple programs in our pipeline, and recently announced positive topline results for two high potential programs, ruxolitinib cream in pediatric atopic dermatitis and axatilimab in chronic graft-versus-host disease."

Key Product Sales Performance

Jakafi:

Net product revenues for the quarter of $682 million:

• Net product revenues grew 14% compared with the second quarter of 2022, driven by strong underlying patient demand growth across all indications.
• Channel inventory at the end of the second quarter of 2023 returned to normal levels.

Opzelura:

Net product revenues for the quarter of $80 million:

• Net product revenues of $80 million grew 384% compared with the second quarter of 2022, driven by growth in patient demand and expansion in payer coverage as the launch in AD and vitiligo continues.
• Opzelura was approved in Europe for the treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo with facial involvement and is now available in Germany and Austria.

Pipeline Updates

MPNs and GVHD – key highlights

LIMBER (Leadership In MPNs and GVHD BEyond Ruxolitinib):

• AGAVE-201, a global pivotal Phase 2 trial of axatilimab in patients with chronic GVHD met its primary endpoint across all cohorts with an overall response rate (ORR) of 74% at the dose of 0.3 mg/kg administered every two weeks. We plan to share the full dataset at a future medical meeting. A Phase 1/2 combination trial of axatilimab in combination with ruxolitinib is planned to initiate by year-end 2023.
• Combination trials of ruxolitinib twice daily (BID) with zilurgisertib (ALK2) and INCB57643 (BET) are ongoing and progressing well. At this year's American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting, updated data for zilurgisertib in both monotherapy and in combination with ruxolitinib BID demonstrated early signals of clinical activity with hepcidin reduction and anemia improvement observed. Also at ASCO, data for INCB57643 (BET) demonstrated improvements in spleen size and symptom burden at > 8mg monotherapy and 4mg in combination with ruxolitinib.
• A Phase 1 study evaluating INCA033989 (mCALR) has been initiated. Additionally, a Phase 1 study evaluating ruxolitinib BID in combination with Cellenkos' CK0804 in MF is continuing to recruit patients.

2023 Second Quarter Financial Results

The financial measures presented in this press release for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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 2022 foreign exchange rates to recalculate 2023 results.

Product and Royalty Revenues Product revenues and product and royalty revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 increased 25% and 22%, respectively, over the prior year comparative period, primarily driven by increases in Jakafi and Opzelura net product revenues. The increase in Jakafi net product revenues was primarily driven by growth in patient demand across all indications and inventory level normalizing at the end of the second quarter of 2023. Total Opzelura net product revenues for the quarter were $80 million, representing a 384% increase year-over-year driven by increased patient demand and expanded coverage. Among other Hematology and Oncology, Minjuvi net product revenues grew 198% driven in part by the recognition of $6 million of previously deferred revenue related to the Early Access Program in France, which ended in June 2023. Jakavi and Olumiant royalties for the quarter were impacted by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
