®
(sparsentan) for FSGS

Net product sales of FILSPARI totaled $50 million in 4Q 2024; $132 million for full year 2024

Net product sales totaled $74 million in 4Q 2024; $227 million for full year 2024

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Travere Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TVTX) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2024 financial results and provided a corporate update.

“Our strong execution in 2024 made it a remarkable year for Travere and the patients we serve. The ongoing commercial launch of FILSPARI outperformed benchmarks and the recent full approval has reinforced physicians’ confidence in choosing FILSPARI as a foundational therapy for IgAN,” said Eric Dube, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Travere Therapeutics. “We enter 2025 with strong momentum and a clear focus. With FILSPARI’s differentiated profile as the only medicine that has been shown to provide superior preservation of kidney function in a head-to-head trial and can replace historical foundational therapy, we remain committed to reaching more patients at risk of IgAN progression. Following our recent FDA engagement for FILSPARI in FSGS, we are on track to complete our sNDA submission around the end of the first quarter and are preparing to be ready for a successful launch, if approved. Additionally, we continue to optimize our manufacturing for pegtibatinase and will be preparing to restart enrollment in the pivotal program next year. These strategic priorities will position us to drive a lasting positive impact for our patients and stakeholders.”

Financial Results for Continuing Operations for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2024

The following financial results discussion compares Travere’s continuing operations. All periods unless otherwise specified have been adjusted to exclude discontinued operations related to the divestiture of the bile acid product portfolio completed on August 31, 2023.

Net product sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $73.5 million, compared to $39.9 million for the same period in 2023. For the full year 2024, net product sales were $226.7 million, compared to $127.5 million for the same period in 2023. The increase is attributable to growth in sales of FILSPARI, including a full twelve months of sales in 2024, following the February 2023 launch.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $62.1 million, compared to $59.7 million for the same period in 2023. For the full year 2024, R&D expenses were $217.5 million, compared to $245.0 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease is largely attributable to previously announced restructuring initiatives and lower costs associated with the development of sparsentan as our Phase 3 programs advance towards completion, offset by an increase in costs associated with the development of pegtibatinase following the December 2023 initiation of the Phase 3 HARMONY Study. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, R&D expenses were $58.6 million for the fourth quarter and $203.3 million for the full year 2024, compared to $55.3 million and $220.4 million for the same periods in 2023.

Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $69.5 million, compared to $63.6 million for the same period in 2023. For the full year 2024, SG&A expenses were $264.1 million, compared to $265.5 million for the same period in 2023. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, SG&A expenses were $51.6 million for the fourth quarter and $197.8 million for the full year 2024, compared to $49.7 million and $199.5 million for the same periods in 2023.

Total other income, net for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $0.4 million, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2023. Total other income, net for the full year 2024 was $3.3 million, compared to $12.0 million in the same period in 2023. The difference is largely attributable to a non-cash charge to other expense during the second quarter related to the Renalys Pharma collaboration entered into in 2024, and a decrease in interest income.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $370.7 million. This includes net proceeds of $134.7 million from a common stock offering completed in November 2024.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Travere’s financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding its past financial performance and potential future results. They are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Travere’s management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. In addition, Travere believes that the use of these non-GAAP measures enhances the ability of investors to compare its results from period to period and allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the Company uses in making operating decisions.

Investors should note that these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time to time in the future the Company may exclude other items, or cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded, for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; because of the non-standardized definitions, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by the Company in this press release and the accompanying tables may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by the Company’s competitors and other companies.

As used in this press release, (i) the historical non-GAAP net loss measures exclude from GAAP net loss, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense, amortization and depreciation expense, and income tax; (ii) the historical non-GAAP SG&A expense measures exclude from GAAP SG&A expenses, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense, and amortization and depreciation expense; (iii) the historical non-GAAP R&D expense measures exclude from GAAP R&D expenses, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense, and amortization and depreciation expense.

FILSPARI
®
(sparsentan) U.S. Indication

FILSPARI (sparsentan) is indicated to slow kidney function decline in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) who are at risk for disease progression.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

BOXED WARNING: HEPATOTOXICITY AND EMBRYO-FETAL TOXICITY

Because of the risks of hepatotoxicity and birth defects, FILSPARI is available only through a restricted program called the FILSPARI REMS. Under the FILSPARI REMS, prescribers, patients and pharmacies must enroll in the program.

Hepatotoxicity

Some Endothelin Receptor Antagonists (ERAs) have caused elevations of aminotransferases, hepatotoxicity, and liver failure. In clinical studies, elevations in aminotransferases (ALT or AST) of at least 3-times the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) have been observed in up to 3.5% of FILSPARI-treated patients, including cases confirmed with rechallenge.

Measure transaminases and bilirubin before initiating treatment and monthly for the first 12 months, and then every 3 months during treatment. Interrupt treatment and closely monitor patients who develop aminotransferase elevations more than 3x ULN.

FILSPARI should generally be avoided in patients with elevated aminotransferases (>3x ULN) at baseline because monitoring for hepatotoxicity may be more difficult and these patients may be at increased risk for serious hepatotoxicity.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

FILSPARI can cause major birth defects if used by pregnant patients based on animal data. Therefore, pregnancy testing is required before the initiation of treatment, during treatment and one month after discontinuation of treatment with FILSPARI. Patients who can become pregnant must use effective contraception before the initiation of treatment, during treatment, and for one month after discontinuation of treatment with FILSPARI.

Contraindications

FILSPARI is contraindicated in patients who are pregnant. Do not coadminister FILSPARI with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), ERAs, or aliskiren.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Hepatotoxicity: Elevations in ALT or AST of at least 3-fold ULN have been observed in up to 3.5% of FILSPARI-treated patients, including cases confirmed with rechallenge. While no concurrent elevations in bilirubin >2-times ULN or cases of liver failure were observed in FILSPARI-treated patients, some ERAs have caused elevations of aminotransferases, hepatotoxicity, and liver failure. To reduce the risk of potential serious hepatotoxicity, measure serum aminotransferase levels and total bilirubin prior to initiation of treatment and monthly for the first 12 months, then every 3 months during treatment.

Advise patients with symptoms suggesting hepatotoxicity (nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain, fatigue, anorexia, jaundice, dark urine, fever, or itching) to immediately stop treatment with FILSPARI and seek medical attention. If aminotransferase levels are abnormal at any time during treatment, interrupt FILSPARI and monitor as recommended.

Consider re-initiation of FILSPARI only when hepatic enzyme levels and bilirubin return to pretreatment values and only in patients who have not experienced clinical symptoms of hepatotoxicity. Avoid initiation of FILSPARI in patients with elevated aminotransferases (>3x ULN) prior to drug initiation because monitoring hepatotoxicity in these patients may be more difficult and these patients may be at increased risk for serious hepatotoxicity.

  • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: FILSPARI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant patient and is contraindicated during pregnancy. Advise patients who can become pregnant of the potential risk to a fetus. Obtain a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with FILSPARI, monthly during treatment, and one month after discontinuation of treatment. Advise patients who can become pregnant to use effective contraception prior to initiation of treatment, during treatment, and for one month after discontinuation of treatment with FILSPARI.
  • FILSPARI REMS: Due to the risk of hepatotoxicity and embryo-fetal toxicity, FILSPARI is available only through a restricted program called the FILSPARI REMS. Prescribers, patients, and pharmacies must be enrolled in the REMS program and comply with all requirements (www.filsparirems.com).
  • Hypotension: Hypotension has been observed in patients treated with ARBs and ERAs. There was a greater incidence of hypotension-associated adverse events, some serious, including dizziness, in patients treated with FILSPARI compared to irbesartan. In patients at risk for hypotension, consider eliminating or adjusting other antihypertensive medications and maintaining appropriate volume status. If hypotension develops, despite elimination or reduction of other antihypertensive medications, consider a dose reduction or dose interruption of FILSPARI. A transient hypotensive response is not a contraindication to further dosing of FILSPARI, which can be given once blood pressure has stabilized.
  • Acute Kidney Injury: Monitor kidney function periodically. Drugs that inhibit the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) can cause kidney injury. Patients whose kidney function may depend in part on the activity of the RAS (e.g., patients with renal artery stenosis, chronic kidney disease, severe congestive heart failure, or volume depletion) may be at particular risk of developing acute kidney injury on FILSPARI. Consider withholding or discontinuing therapy in patients who develop a clinically significant decrease in kidney function while on FILSPARI.
  • Hyperkalemia: Monitor serum potassium periodically and treat appropriately. Patients with advanced kidney disease, taking concomitant potassium-increasing drugs (e.g., potassium supplements, potassium-sparing diuretics), or using potassium-containing salt substitutes are at increased risk for developing hyperkalemia. Dosage reduction or discontinuation of FILSPARI may be required.
  • Fluid Retention: Fluid retention may occur with ERAs, and has been observed in clinical studies with FILSPARI. FILSPARI has not been evaluated in patients with heart failure. If clinically significant fluid retention develops, evaluate the patient to determine the cause and the potential need to initiate or modify the dose of diuretic treatment then consider modifying the dose of FILSPARI.

Most common adverse reactions

The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) are hyperkalemia, hypotension (including orthostatic hypotension), peripheral edema, dizziness, anemia, and acute kidney injury.

Drug interactions

  • Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) Inhibitors and ERAs: Do not coadminister FILSPARI with ARBs, ERAs, or aliskiren due to increased risks of hypotension, syncope, hyperkalemia, and changes in renal function (including acute renal failure).
  • Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use of FILSPARI with strong CYP3A inhibitors. If a strong CYP3A inhibitor cannot be avoided, interrupt FILSPARI treatment. When resuming treatment with FILSPARI, consider dose titration. Monitor blood pressure, serum potassium, edema, and kidney function regularly when used concomitantly with moderate CYP3A inhibitors. Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inhibitor increases sparsentan exposure which may increase the risk of FILSPARI adverse reactions.
  • Strong CYP3A Inducers: Avoid concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer. Concomitant use with a strong CYP3A inducer decreases sparsentan exposure which may reduce FILSPARI efficacy.
  • Antacids and Acid Reducing Agents: Administer FILSPARI 2 hours before or after administration of antacids. Avoid concomitant use of acid reducing agents (histamine H2 receptor antagonist and PPI proton pump inhibitor) with FILSPARI. Sparsentan exhibits pH-dependent solubility. Antacids or acid reducing agents may decrease sparsentan exposure which may reduce FILSPARI efficacy.
  • Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents (NSAIDs), Including Selective Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) Inhibitors: Monitor for signs of worsening renal function with concomitant use with NSAIDs (including selective COX-2 inhibitors). In patients with volume depletion (including those on diuretic therapy) or with impaired kidney function, concomitant use of NSAIDs (including selective COX-2 inhibitors) with drugs that antagonize the angiotensin II receptor may result in deterioration of kidney function, including possible kidney failure.
  • CYP2B6, 2C9, and 2C19 Substrates: Monitor for efficacy of concurrently administered CYP2B6, 2C9, and 2C19 substrates and consider dosage adjustment in accordance with the Prescribing Information. Sparsentan decreases exposure of these substrates, which may reduce efficacy related to these substrates.
  • P-gp and BCRP Substrates: Avoid concomitant use of sensitive substrates of P-gp and BCRP with FILSPARI. Sparsentan may increase exposure of these transporter substrates, which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates.
  • Agents Increasing Serum Potassium: Monitor serum potassium frequently in patients treated with FILSPARI and other agents that increase serum potassium. Concomitant use of FILSPARI with potassium-sparing diuretics, potassium supplements, potassium-containing salt substitutes, or other drugs that raise serum potassium levels may result in hyperkalemia.

MIDLAND, Texas, Feb. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Viper Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: VNOM) (“Viper” or the “Company”) today announced its leadership transition plan, representing the culmination of a thorough succession planning process and ensuring a seamless leadership transition that will position the Company for continued long term outperformance. Travis D. Stice will transition from his role as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Kaes Van’t Hof, current President of the Company, will succeed Mr. Stice as Chief Executive Officer. Austen Gilfillian, current Vice President of Viper, will assume the role of President, also effective immediately.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank and congratulate Travis for his leadership over the last ten years at Viper. The Viper IPO in 2014 was a watershed moment for the minerals market and is a testament to Travis’ vision,” stated Steven E. West, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Viper.

Mr. West continued “The Board looks forward to Travis’ continued contribution to the success of the Company through his position on the Board and his countless strong relationships in the mineral space in the Permian Basin. In addition, the Board remains extremely excited about Viper’s future as Kaes and Austen have worked to build out a strong, dedicated executive team.”

“It has been an honor to represent Viper as CEO over the last ten plus years,” said Mr. Stice. “Viper is a truly unique business model that established credibility with the market in a differentiated way from the start. The momentum at Viper today is very strong, its future is bright, and I look forward to supporting the Company through my position on the Board.”

Regarding Mr. Van’t Hof’s appointment, Mr. Stice noted, “Kaes has been a critical contributor to Viper’s success as President of the Company. The Viper Board of Directors is fully confident that Kaes, together with the support of Austen and the growing Viper management team, will continue to drive future success at Viper as he assumes the CEO role.”

“It is an honor to move into this position at Viper. Since its IPO in 2014, Viper has been a leader and category killer in its space, a testament to the vision and successful execution of what was then a new and exciting business model. Travis’ leadership helped drive Viper’s growth to where the Company is today. I look forward to continuing to solidify our position as the leader in the public mineral and royalties space while maintaining the visible competitive advantage of the relationship with Diamondback,” stated Mr. Van’t Hof.

Mr. Van’t Hof continued “I am also extremely excited to announce Austen’s promotion to President. Austen has proven leadership skills and has developed and implemented a business strategy that has led to significant growth and outperformance at Viper, a trend we expect to continue. The Viper management team continues to be built out as we prepare for future growth through consolidation of the highly fragmented minerals market.”

Matt Jacobsen, Chief Financial Officer of WillScot, commented, “We achieved record revenues of $2,396 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $1,063 million in 2024. We believe our ability to sustain solid financial results and expand margins in the fourth quarter, despite consistent end market headwinds, underscores the resilience of our business model.”

Jacobsen continued, “Turning to 2025, we believe our outlook reflects the uncertain macroeconomic backdrop entering the year. At the midpoint or better, it reflects modest top-line growth in the second half of the year as we expect average monthly rates, inclusive of VAPS, and expanded product offerings increasingly offset the volume-related headwinds present heading into the year. Finally, our Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX outlook reflects our demonstrated ability to flex our cost structure as the macro environment changes. At the same time, we continue to see numerous investment opportunities, both organic and inorganic, that we anticipate will drive an increasing leasing revenue run rate into 2026 as we remain focused on growth and shareholder value creation.”

Capitalization and Liquidity Update

2, 3, 6

As of and for the three months ended December 31, 2024, except where noted:

  • Net cash provided by operating activities was $178.9 million. Excluding one-time, nonrecurring payments for terminated acquisitions of $13 million, the Company generated $137 million of Adjusted Free Cash Flow.
  • Invested $55 million of Net CAPEX in the quarter, primarily supporting growth in new product lines.
  • Invested $37 million of capital in one acquisition during the quarter, with $121 million invested in the last 12 months.
  • Maintained availability under our asset backed revolving credit facility of approximately $1.6 billion.
  • Total debt was $3,708 million and net debt, or total debt net of cash and cash equivalents, was $3,699 million.
  • Weighted average pre-tax interest rate, inclusive of $1.25 billion of fixed-to-floating swaps at 3.55%, was approximately 5.8%. Annual cash interest expense based on the current debt structure and benchmark rates is approximately $219 million, or approximately $230 million inclusive of non-cash deferred financing fees. Our debt structure is approximately 87% / 13% fixed-to-floating after giving effect to all interest rate swaps.
  • Our 2025 notes mature on June 15, 2025. We believe we have ample liquidity available to redeem or refinance our $527 million 2025 notes, using either our asset backed revolver or other sources of capital, and intend to do so opportunistically prior to maturity in a manner that optimizes our interest costs. Our subsequent debt maturity is in 2027.
  • Leverage is at 3.5x based on our last 12 months Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations of $1,063 million, within the target range of 3.0x to 3.5x.
  • Repurchased 3.5 million shares of Common Stock for $130 million in the fourth quarter 2024, contributing to a 3.4% reduction in our outstanding share count over the 12 months ending December 31, 2024.

versus common shares outstanding as of

.

2 – Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA Margin from continuing operations, Adjusted income from continuing operations, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, and
Return on Invested Capital are non-GAAP financial measures. Further information and reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles in the US (“GAAP”) are included at the end of this press release.

3 – Information reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Net CAPEX, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort and therefore neither the most comparable GAAP measures nor reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided.

4 – Net CAPEX is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the non-GAAP reconciliation tables included at the end of this press release.

5 – Adjusted Free Cash Flow incorporates results from discontinued operations. For comparability, we add back discontinued operations to reported revenue to calculate Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin.

6 – Leverage is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations from the last twelve months. We define Net Debt as total debt from continuing operations net of total cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, Adjusted EBITDA Margin from continuing operations, Adjusted income from continuing operations, Adjusted diluted earnings per share, Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin, Return on Invested Capital, Net CAPEX, and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as net income plus net interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization adjusted to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business operations, including net currency gains and losses, goodwill and other impairment charges, restructuring costs, costs to integrate acquired companies, costs incurred related to transactions, non-cash charges for stock compensation plans and other discrete expenses. Adjusted EBITDA Margin from continuing operations is defined as Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations divided by revenue. Adjusted income from continuing operations is defined as income from continuing operations plus certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business operations, including goodwill and other impairment charges, restructuring costs, costs to integrate acquired companies, costs incurred related to transactions, and other discrete expenses. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted income from continuing operations divided by Adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. The calculation of Adjusted Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding includes shares related to stock awards that are dilutive for Adjusted diluted earnings per share. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities; less purchases of rental equipment and property, plant and equipment and plus proceeds from sale of rental equipment and property, plant and equipment, which are all included in cash flows from investing activities; excluding one-time, nonrecurring payments for the McGrath termination fee and transaction costs from terminated acquisitions. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow divided by revenue. Return on Invested Capital is defined as adjusted earnings before interest and amortization divided by average invested capital. Adjusted earnings before interest and amortization is defined as Adjusted EBITDA (see definition above) reduced by depreciation and estimated statutory taxes. Given we are not a significant US taxpayer due to our current tax attributes, we include estimated taxes at our current statutory tax rate of approximately 25%. Average invested capital is calculated as an average of net assets. Net assets is defined as total assets less goodwill, intangible assets, net and all non-interest bearing liabilities. Net CAPEX is defined as purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments and purchases of property, plant and equipment (collectively, “Total Capital Expenditures”), less proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment (collectively, “Total Proceeds”), which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are useful to investors because they (i) allow investors to compare performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance; (ii) are used by our board of directors and management to assess our performance; (iii) may, subject to the limitations described below, enable investors to compare the performance of the Company to its competitors; (iv) provide additional tools for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends; and (v) align with definitions in our credit agreement. The Company believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin are useful to investors because they allow investors to compare cash generation performance over various reporting periods and against peers. The Company believes that Return on Invested Capital provides information about the long-term health and profitability of the business relative to the Company’s cost of capital. The Company believes that the presentation of Net CAPEX provides useful information to investors regarding the net capital invested into our rental fleet and plant, property and equipment each year to assist in analyzing the performance of our business. The Company believes that the presentation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted income from continuing operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share provide useful information to investors regarding the performance of our business. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as an indicator of operating performance or liquidity. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures differently, and therefore the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. For reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release (except as explained below), see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included in this press release.

Information regarding the most comparable GAAP financial measures and reconciling forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Net CAPEX, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to those GAAP financial measures is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. We cannot provide the most comparable GAAP financial measures nor reconciliations of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, Net CAPEX, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to GAAP financial measures because certain items required for such reconciliations are outside of our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, such as the provision for income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliations would require a forward-looking balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort. Although we provide ranges of Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX that we believe will be achieved, we cannot accurately predict all the components of the Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX calculations. The Company provides Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX guidance because we believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Net CAPEX, when viewed with our results under GAAP, provides useful information for the reasons noted above.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 

In addition to using GAAP financial measurements, we use certain non-GAAP financial information that we believe is important for purposes of comparison to prior periods and development of future projections and earnings growth prospects. This information is also used by management to measure the profitability of our ongoing operations and analyze our business performance and trends.

We evaluate business performance on Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items as described below. We believe that evaluating performance excluding such items is meaningful because it provides insight with respect to intrinsic and ongoing operating results of the Company.

We also regularly evaluate gross profit to assist in the assessment of the operational performance. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be the more important metric because it more fully captures the business performance, inclusive of indirect costs.

We also evaluate Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure that provides useful information concerning cash flow available to fund our capital allocation alternatives.

Adjusted EBITDA From Continuing Operations

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) plus interest (income) expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Our adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) reflects the following further adjustments to EBITDA to exclude certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions or events not related to our core business operations:

  • Goodwill and other impairment charges related to non-cash costs associated with impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles, rental fleet and property, plant and equipment.
  • Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense, and other related charges associated with restructuring plans designed to streamline operations and reduce costs including employee termination costs.
  • Currency (gains) losses, net on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency.
  • Transaction costs including legal and professional fees and other transaction specific related costs.
  • Costs to integrate acquired companies, including outside professional fees, non-capitalized costs associated with system integrations, non-lease branch and fleet relocation expenses, employee training costs, and other costs required to realize cost or revenue synergies.
  • Non-cash charges for stock compensation plans.
  • Other expense, including consulting expenses related to certain one-time projects, financing costs not classified as interest expense, gains and losses on disposals of property, plant, and equipment, and unrealized gains and losses on investments.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider the measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flow from operations or other methods of analyzing the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for our working capital needs;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect historical cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact on earnings or changes resulting from matters that we consider not to be indicative of our future operations;
  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and
  • Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as discretionary cash available to reinvest in the growth of our business or as a measure of cash that will be available to meet our obligations.

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

We define adjusted income from continuing operations as income from continuing operations, plus certain non-cash items and the effect of what we consider transactions not related to our core business operations including:

  • Goodwill and other impairment charges related to non-cash costs associated with impairment charges to goodwill, other intangibles, rental fleet and property, plant and equipment.
  • Restructuring costs, lease impairment expense, and other related charges associated with restructuring plans designed to streamline operations and reduce costs including employee and lease termination costs.
  • Transaction costs including legal and professional fees and other transaction specific related costs.
  • Costs to integrate acquired companies, including outside professional fees, non-capitalized costs associated with system integrations, non-lease branch and fleet relocation expenses, employee training costs, and other costs required to realize cost or revenue synergies.
  • Transaction costs, including legal and professional fees and other transaction-specific costs, for terminated acquisitions.

We define adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations as adjusted income from continuing operations divided by adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Management believes that the presentation of adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations provide useful information to investors regarding the performance of our business.

The following table provides reconciliations of income from continuing operations to adjusted income from continuing operations and comparisons of diluted earnings per share to adjusted diluted earnings per share:

Net CAPEX

We define Net CAPEX as purchases of rental equipment and refurbishments and purchases of property, plant and equipment (collectively, “Total Capital Expenditures”), less proceeds from the sale of rental equipment and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment (collectively, “Total Proceeds”), which are all included in cash flows from investing activities. Management believes that the presentation of Net CAPEX provides useful information regarding the net capital invested in our rental fleet and property, plant and equipment each year to assist in analyzing the performance of our business. As presented below, Net CAPEX includes amounts for the former UK Storage Solutions segment through January 31, 2023.

Return on Invested Capital

Return on Invested Capital is defined as Adjusted earnings before interest and amortization divided by Average Invested Capital. Management believes that the presentation of Return on Invested Capital provides useful information regarding the long-term health and profitability of the business relative to the Company’s cost of capital. We define Adjusted earnings before interest and amortization as Adjusted EBITDA (see reconciliation above) reduced by depreciation and estimated taxes. Given we are not a significant US taxpayer due to our current tax attributes, we include estimated taxes at our current statutory tax rate.

The Average Invested Capital is calculated as an average of Net Assets, a four quarter average for annual metrics and two quarter average for quarterly metrics. Net assets is defined for purposes of the calculation below as total assets less goodwill, intangible assets, net, and all non-interest bearing liabilities.

The following table provides reconciliations of Return on Invested Capital and includes amounts for the former UK Storage Solutions segment through January 31, 2023.

About Insulet Corporation:

Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), headquartered in Massachusetts, is an innovative medical device company dedicated to simplifying life for people with diabetes and other conditions through its Omnipod product platform. The Omnipod Insulin Management System provides a unique alternative to traditional insulin delivery methods.

Insulet also leverages the unique design of its Pod by tailoring its Omnipod technology platform for the delivery of non-insulin subcutaneous drugs across other therapeutic areas. For more information, please visit: insulet.com and omnipod.com.

Non-GAAP Measures:

The Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Constant currency revenue growth, which represents the change in revenue between current and prior year periods using the exchange rate in effect during the applicable prior year period. Insulet presents constant currency revenue growth because management believes it provides meaningful information regarding the Company’s results on a consistent and comparable basis. Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure, in addition to financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), to evaluate the Company’s operating results. It is also one of the performance metrics that determines management incentive compensation.
  • Adjusted gross margin, adjusted gross margin as a percentage of revenue, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating income as a percentage of revenue, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude the impact of certain significant transactions or events, such as legal settlements, medical device corrections, gains (losses) on investments and loss on extinguishment of debt, that affect the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s performance, as applicable.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, which represents net income (loss) plus net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and other significant transactions or events, such as legal settlements, medical device corrections, gains (losses) on investments and loss on extinguishment of debt, which affect the period-to-period comparability of the Company’s performance, as applicable, and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
  • Free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, represents the cash that the Company has available to pursue opportunities that management believes enhances shareholder value.

Insulet presents the above non-GAAP financial measures because management uses them as supplemental measures in assessing the Company’s performance, and the Company believes they are helpful to investors and other interested parties as measures of comparative performance from period to period. They also are commonly used measures in determining business value, and the Company uses them internally to report results.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, the Company’s reported financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, the Company’s definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, Insulet strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety.

Palladyne AI Corp Provides 2024 Year End Business and Financial Update

Palladyne AI Corp Provides 2024 Year End Business and Financial Update

2024 Financial and Product Development Objectives Met; Focus Turns to Securing Customers for 2025

SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Palladyne AI Corp. (NASDAQ: PDYN and PDYNW) (“Palladyne AI”), a developer of artificial intelligence software for robotic platforms in the industrial and defense sectors, today announced key business and financial achievements for 2024 in conjunction with the filing of its 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Full Year 2024 Highlights and Recent Developments

  • Substantially improved balance sheet, with $40.1 million cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities on hand as of December 31, 2024, and an additional $14.4 million (before commissions and offering expenses) raised between January 1, 2025, and February 12, 2025, with no debt for borrowed money or other long-term financial obligations on the balance sheet other than the Company’s long-term office lease.
  • Second half 2024 target of $1.6-$2.0 million net cash burn per month achieved, with approximately the same rate expected to continue through 2025.
  • Commercial version of Palladyne IQ product for industrial robots and cobots launched, with new customer trials expected to occur in the first half of 2025.
  • Commercial version of Palladyne Pilot product for small drones on track for commercial release by end of Q1 2025, with integration on Red Cat drones expected to quickly follow.
  • Year over year revenues increased by 27% while operating expenses decreased by 73%.
  • New three-year employment contract entered into with President and CEO, with Mr. Ben Wolff to receive targeted 2025 net cash salary received of $1 (after deductions for taxes and employee benefit contributions) for the first year, plus a significant long-term incentive opportunity based on stock value that, subject to certain acceleration provisions, is generally scheduled to vest after three years of continued service.

CEO Commentary

“2024 was a transformative year for the Company. We set out early in 2024 with an objective to commercialize our novel AI/ML software products which are designed to enable robots and other remote controlled machines to learn, reason, and act in a manner similar to humans. I’m delighted to report that we achieved this objective, with an improved commercial version of Palladyne IQ — which is ready for on-site customer trials and purchase — and our Palladyne Pilot drone product, which is expected to be commercially available by the end of the first quarter of 2025. Another key milestone for 2024 was to materially extend our financial runway by substantially reducing costs and opportunistically raising capital. Again, we achieved this objective, hitting our internal targets for expense reductions while also raising capital at valuations that were many multiples of the Company’s valuation at the beginning of the year.

Palladyne IQ

Palladyne IQ is a closed-loop, full-stack, AI software product built on our AI/ML foundational technology intended to make robots smarter so that they can perform jobs that have historically been too complex to automate. It is designed to enhance the utility and functionality of third-party robotic systems by enabling these systems to quickly observe, learn, reason and act in structured, unstructured and dynamic environments. It incorporates our artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) foundational technologies that enable robotic systems to perceive their environment and quickly adapt to changing circumstances by generalizing (i.e., learning) from their past experience using dynamic real-time operations “on the edge” (i.e., on the robotic system) without extensive programming and with minimal robot training.

We are frequently asked whether we compete with the likes of OpenAI and whether the advancements of companies like DeepSeek have any impact on our business opportunity. The simple answer is “No” for a number of key reasons.

First, companies such as OpenAI and DeepSeek focus on what we refer to as digital world AI by building foundation models that leverage decades of internet-based information to provide humans with insights and information that would be virtually impossible for humans to develop at the same speed on their own. In contrast, we focus on what we refer to as physical world AI, where our AI is being applied to robotics to manipulate real objects in the real world. There is no existing massive repository or database of robot movements or actions that can be fed into a foundation model that will enable a robot to autonomously function in the real world. Furthermore, every robot is different – they come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and forms, and every environment is different. The diversity of robot designs means that data would need to be collected for each robot type, not to mention data from every environment in which each robot is expected to operate.

Secondly, many tasks are comprised of a sequence of discrete movements. Take, for example, the task of making a single cup of tea: one must fill the kettle, turn it on, pour hot water into a mug, and add a tea bag. If we want to teach a robot how to perform this task using a foundation model, we would need to send torque commands to all motors comprising the robot arm (industrial robotic arms commonly have seven motors) at a speed of around 40 Hz/second. Over five minutes, that adds up to 7*40*60*5=84,000 correct torque commands. Get one torque command wrong, and the robot will not complete the task as expected. This example is for a stationary robot arm — things get even more complex with the addition of mobility or additional arms. In long lasting, complex tasks, errors compound over time, which is why even large language models (LLMs) struggle with fully coherent long texts. Similarly, robotic tasks involving thousands or hundreds of thousands of torque commands are challenging, even for well-performing models.

Compounding these challenge is that foundation models require massive compute power and enormous amounts of electricity to function. This kind of compute power can only live in the cloud, which means physical robots using foundational models would need to be continuously (or at least frequently) connected to the cloud to operate. Beyond the obvious communications challenges that could occur, particularly for mobile machines, there are substantial costs and potential latency issues associated with continuously connected robots functioning in the real world. We estimate that mobile robots functioning in unstructured environments could need to transmit and receive data from the foundation model in the cloud between one and four times per second in order to function as expected. Any connection or latency issues would then interrupt the robot’s task and have significant negative impacts on productivity, not only of the robot, but of any larger system or work flow in which the robot is working. The bottom line is that, at least for now, the digital world approach just doesn’t translate well to the physical world.

Our approach is fundamentally different and has been purpose built from the ground up to operate on real machines in the real world, without having to spend potentially years and hundreds of millions of dollars to collect, label and collate massive datasets. Furthermore, we believe our edge compute solution which avoids the need for cloud connectivity will yield better performance at a substantially reduced cost.

We begin 2025 with Palladyne IQ ready to be put through its paces by prospective customers. Earlier versions of the software were trialed by a large global manufacturer and by the U.S. Air Force, and their feedback is now being incorporated into the commercial version. We expect our AI to get more capable over time, just as one would expect an infant’s cognitive functioning, dexterity and skill to improve rapidly after birth. While it is early days, we are seeing strong interest from companies across a wide range of industries, including electronics manufacturing, heavy equipment manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and aviation. We expect this interest to convert into customer on-site trials and ultimately sales. However, at this point, we are still discovering the typical buyer’s journey, including the duration of the sales cycle, who the key decisionmakers typically are, and how to overcome potential sales objections. As a result, we are still too early in our own journey to be able to provide near-term revenue projections.

Palladyne Pilot

Palladyne Pilot is an AI platform for unmanned systems that enables persistent detection, tracking, and classification of objects of interest by synthesizing multi-modal sensor fusion data in real-time. It facilitates shared situational awareness across multiple drones and autonomous navigation, including in GPS denied environments, when integrated with drone autopilot systems. We continue to test and improve the software, and currently expect to commercially release the initial version of Palladyne Pilot by the end of Q1 2025.

In October 2024, we jointly announced with Red Cat Holdings that we would be working together to make Palladyne Pilot available for some of Red Cat’s drones, including those already in the field. We subsequently announced the first successful completion of a flight in which multiple Red Cat drones equipped with Palladyne Pilot AI software autonomously collaborated to identify, prioritize, and track objects of interest on the ground. We have engaged in initial discussions with several other manufacturers about incorporating Pilot with their small drone platforms, and we believe that some of these discussions will gain traction after the commercial release of Pilot.

It is important to note that just as there are many different types of software programs that have different purposes and functionality for use on computers, so too are there many different types of AI that can be used on drones and other autonomous vehicles. For example, Red Cat recently announced a partnership with Palantir to provide certain AI capabilities for its drones, but Palantir’s AI offers very different features, functionality, and outcomes than Palladyne Pilot. We do not view these two AI products as competitive, and, in fact, we believe they could be complementary. The same could be said for many other AI or ML software programs that could be implemented on all manner of mobile machines. Oracle’s software is not the same as Microsoft’s, nor is Boeing’s software the same as Tesla’s — different purposes, different architecture, and different value propositions.

Looking Forward

For 2025, you can expect us to be focused on securing customers for both IQ and Pilot, while continuing to hone and optimize both products based on customer feedback. We think we have developed a better mouse-trap, so now we need to prove it to our customers and our investors. We will continue to manage our expenses closely to give the Company the longest possible runway, while also continuing to strategically invest in marketing and sales opportunities to secure customers and be mindful of the impacts of dilution resulting from raising new capital. Based on the expenses we can foresee today, we believe that we have funds to operate the business for a minimum of two years of financial runway on hand, even if the sales cycle for our new products is substantially longer than we expect, which should give us ample time to generate real momentum with product sales.

Our policy regarding press releases, earnings calls, and investor conferences will largely remain the same as we announced last year when I rejoined the Company; we will keep investors informed of material developments, but we will resist talking just to talk.
