    • European Union’s ‘Titanium Plus’ standard took effect January 1st 2023, to drive data centers to higher efficiencies, increasing demand for GaN power ICs
    • Secular global trends driving the transition of the silicon power semiconductor industry to GaN and SiC for sustainability, energy savings and electrification

Business Outlook

First quarter 2023 net revenues are expected to be approximately flat on a sequential basis representing growth of approximately 85% over the first quarter of 2022. Gross margin for the first quarter is also expected to be relatively flat on a sequential basis and is expected to expand incrementally throughout the year. Operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets, are expected to be approximately $18 million in the first quarter of 2023. Expenses are projected to grow throughout the year but decline on a percentage of revenue basis as the business scales. Weighted-average basic share count is expected to be approximately 156 million shares at the end of the first quarter of 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and statements in our public webcast include financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which we refer to as “non-GAAP financial measures,” including (i) non-GAAP gross margin, (ii) non-GAAP operating expenses, (iii) non-GAAP loss from operations, and (iv) non-GAAP loss per share. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted from GAAP results to exclude certain expenses, which are outlined in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” tables below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance and enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures offer an additional view of our operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the results of operations. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release, including the paragraph headed “Business Outlook,” includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “we expect” or “are expected to be,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity and market share. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release. These statements are also based on current expectations of the management of Navitas and are not predictions of actual performance. Such forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions and expectations. Many actual events and circumstances that affect performance are beyond the control of Navitas. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the possibility that the expected growth of Navitas’ and GeneSiC’s businesses will not be realized, or will not be realized within expected time periods, due to, among other things, the failure to successfully integrate GeneSiC into Navitas’ business and operational systems; the effect of the acquisition on customer and supplier relationships or the failure to retain and expand those relationships; the success or failure of other business development efforts; Navitas’ financial condition and results of operations; Navitas’ ability to accurately predict future revenues for the purpose of appropriately budgeting and adjusting Navitas’ expenses; Navitas’ ability to diversify its customer base and develop relationships in new markets; Navitas’ ability to scale its technology into new markets and applications; the effects of competition on Navitas’ business, including actions of competitors with an established presence and resources in markets we hope to penetrate, including silicon carbide markets; the level of demand in Navitas’ and GeneSiC’s customers’ end markets, both generally and with respect to successive generations of products or technology; Navitas’ ability to attract, train and retain key qualified personnel; changes in government trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Navitas’ business, results of operations and financial condition; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, including but not limited to Navitas’ supply chain and the supply chains of customers and suppliers; regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries; and Navitas’ ability to protect its intellectual property rights. These and other risk factors are discussed in the Risk Factors section beginning on p. 11 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022 and as thereafter amended, and in other documents we file with the SEC, including our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Navitas is not aware of or that Navitas currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Navitas’ expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Navitas anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Navitas’ assessments to change. However, while Navitas may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Navitas specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Navitas’ assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kura Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: KURA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to realizing the promise of precision medicines for the treatment of cancer, today reported fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results and provided a corporate update.

“We continue to have strong conviction in ziftomenib and its potential to be the best-in-class menin inhibitor,” said Troy Wilson, Ph.D., J.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Kura Oncology. “The speed with which we have begun enrolling patients with NPM1-mutant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in our registration-directed trial speaks to our impressive Phase 1 data in this population as well as the significant interest in ziftomenib among investigators. In addition, we believe ziftomenib is well positioned for future combination strategies, with no evidence of drug-induced QTc prolongation, no predicted adverse drug-drug interactions and oral daily dosing that should enable convenient administration with standards of care. We continue to prioritize investment in the program and look forward to sharing further updates as the year progresses, including the presentation of a more mature dataset from our Phase 1 trial of ziftomenib in NPM1-mutant AML patients at a medical meeting in mid-2023.”

“Meanwhile, clearance of the IND for KO-2806 marks an important next step for our next-generation farnesyl transferase inhibitor (FTI) program,” Dr. Wilson continued. “Our preclinical data is supportive of FTIs in combination with a growing number of targeted therapies, including EGFR inhibitors and PI3 kinase alpha inhibitors as well as tyrosine kinase inhibitors in renal cell carcinoma and KRAS G12C inhibitors in lung cancer, and we look forward to starting our first-in-human trial of KO-2806 in the coming months.”

Recent Highlights

  • Updated clinical data from Phase 1 trial of ziftomenib at ASH – In December, Kura reported updated data from its Phase 1 trial of ziftomenib, the Company’s potent and selective menin inhibitor, in an oral presentation at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. The data highlighted the encouraging safety profile and clinical activity of ziftomenib in patients with relapsed/refractory AML, including a 30% complete response (CR) rate with full count recovery among 20 patients with NPM1-mutant AML treated at the 600 mg dose. Notably, two-thirds of NPM1-mutant AML patients who achieved a CR at 600 mg had IDH and/or FLT3 co-mutations, all of whom had failed prior treatment with IDH and/or FLT3 inhibitors. A median duration of response had not been reached as of the ASH data cutoff on October 24, 2022.

  • Recommended Phase 2 dose for ziftomenib in NPM1-mutant AML – In December, Kura also announced that 600 mg once-daily dosing has been designated as the recommended Phase 2 dose and schedule for ziftomenib in NPM1-mutant AML following a positive Type C meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Agreement was also reached on key elements of the Company’s Phase 2 registration-directed trial design.

  • First patients dosed in registration-directed trial of ziftomenib in NPM1-mutant AML – Earlier this month, Kura announced that multiple patients had been dosed in its Phase 2 registration-directed trial (KOMET-001) of ziftomenib in NPM1-mutant relapsed or refractory AML. The Company expects to enroll a total of 85 patients in the U.S. and Europe. The primary endpoint is CR or CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh), and key secondary endpoints include duration of response, transfusion independence, safety and tolerability. NPM1-mutant AML accounts for approximately 30% of new AML cases annually and represents a disease of significant unmet need for which no approved targeted therapy exists.

  • Combination trials to support commercial potential for ziftomenib – Kura is preparing to initiate multiple Phase 1 trials to evaluate ziftomenib in combination with current standards of care in earlier lines of therapy and across multiple patient populations, including NPM1-mutant and KMT2A-rearranged AML. The Company intends to establish a foundation where ziftomenib can be combined safely with various commonly used regimens, such as venetoclax plus azacitidine, FLT3 inhibitors and standard induction cytarabine plus daunorubicin (7+3) chemotherapy, then prioritize those combinations that represent the largest populations and greatest potential commercial value. Kura expects to initiate the first of these trials, KOMET-007, in the first half of 2023.

  • Preliminary proof of mechanism of tipifarnib plus alpelisib in HNSCC – In October, Kura reported the first demonstration that the combination of tipifarnib and alpelisib can induce a durable clinical response in PIK3CA-dependent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics Symposium. A patient with stage III squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil with a PIK3CA mutation achieved a durable partial response in the Company’s KURRENT-HN trial and continued on-study for more than 27 weeks as of the data cutoff on September 14, 2022. Treatment-related adverse events in KURRENT-HN are consistent with the known safety profiles of each drug and are manageable, with no dose-limiting toxicities reported to date.

  • IND for KO-2806, a next-generation farnesyl transferase inhibitor – Last month, Kura announced FDA clearance of its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for KO-2806 for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. KO-2806 is a potent inhibitor of farnesyl transferase designed to improve upon potency, pharmacokinetic and physicochemical properties of earlier FTI drug candidates. The Company intends to evaluate safety, tolerability and preliminary antitumor activity of KO-2806 in a Phase 1 dose-escalation trial (FIT-001) as a monotherapy and in combination with other targeted therapies in adult patients with advanced solid tumors.

  • $25 million equity investment from Bristol Myers Squibb – In November, Kura sold 1,370,171 shares to Bristol Myers Squibb at a price of $18.25 per share for gross proceeds of $25 million. In connection with the equity investment, Bristol Myers Squibb has appointed a member to Kura’s Global Steering Committee. The equity investment further strengthens the relationship between the two organizations and enables Bristol Myers Squibb, a leader in the discovery and development of transformational cancer treatments, to provide valuable strategic input into Kura’s global development strategy.

DMC Global Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Financial Results

Unit Sales of DynaEnergetics’ Flagship DS Perforating System up 40% Year-Over-Year;

Arcadia & NobelClad See Strong Demand Across Primary End Markets

  • Fourth quarter sales were up 36% versus pro forma fourth quarter 2021 sales, inclusive of Arcadia
  • Fourth quarter consolidated gross margin was 26% versus 29% in Q3 2022 and 18% in Q4 2021
  • Fourth quarter net income attributable to DMC was $3.3 million
  • Fourth quarter adjusted net income attributable to DMC*, inclusive of $2.2 million in non-cash amortization expense for Arcadia purchased intangible assets, was $4.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share
  • Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC* was $19.6 million
  • Full-year sales were $654.1 million, up 151% versus 2021
  • Full-year net income attributable to DMC was $12.2 million
  • Full-year adjusted net income attributable to DMC*, inclusive of $21.8 million in non-cash amortization expense for Arcadia purchased intangible assets, was $13.5 million, or $0.70 per diluted share
  • Full-year adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC* was $74.2 million, up 268% versus 2021

BROOMFIELD, Colo., Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DMC Global Inc. (Nasdaq: BOOM) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth quarter sales were $175.1 million, flat sequentially and up 144% versus sales in last year’s fourth quarter. The 2022 fourth quarter results include $74.4 million in sales from Arcadia, a leading supplier of architectural building products. DMC acquired a 60% controlling interest in Arcadia on December 23, 2021.

Excluding Arcadia, fourth quarter sales were $100.7 million, up 7% sequentially and up 40% versus the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase principally reflects stronger demand for well perforating products from DynaEnergetics, DMC’s energy products business.

Fourth quarter gross margin was 26% versus 29% in the third quarter and 18% in the fourth quarter a year ago. The sequential decline principally reflects an expected dip in gross margin at Arcadia resulting from volatility in aluminum prices earlier in 2022, as well as inventory write offs and reserves within DynaEnergetics’ North American business.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) was $30.6 million, flat sequentially and up from $16.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Excluding Arcadia, SG&A was $16.7 million versus $15.7 million in the year-ago fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter net income attributable to DMC was $3.3 million. Due to the acquisition of the 60% controlling interest in Arcadia, the calculation for net earnings per diluted share must account for the change in value of the 40% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Arcadia. The redeemable noncontrolling interest value is estimated at the end of each quarter based on the formula used to calculate a Put and Call Option in the Arcadia Operating Agreement. During the fourth quarter, the adjustment decreased the redeemable noncontrolling interest by $6.9 million. When added to the $3.3 million in net income attributable to DMC stockholders, the resulting net income for calculation of earnings per share is $10.2 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, based on 19.4 million diluted shares outstanding. Net loss attributable to DMC stockholders in the prior-year fourth quarter, after the adjustment to redeemable noncontrolling interest, was $(7.2) million, or $(0.38) per diluted share, on 18.8 million diluted shares outstanding.

Fourth quarter adjusted net income attributable to DMC*, which includes $2.2 million in non-cash amortization expense of the purchased intangible assets of Arcadia, was $4.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share.

Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC* was $19.6 million, down 10% from $21.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, and up 592% from $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Fourth quarter cash flow from operations was $20.6 million versus cash used in operations of $(10.9) million in the prior-year fourth quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were $25.1 million versus $30.8 million at December 31, 2021.

DMC’s debt-to-adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio at December 31, 2022, was 1.69. The Company’s debt-to-adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio covenant for the end of the quarter was 3.25.

Arcadia

Arcadia reported fourth quarter sales of $74.4 million, down 8% sequentially and up 31% from pro forma sales in last year’s fourth quarter. The decrease versus the third quarter reflects anticipated impacts of seasonality and maintenance. The increase versus prior year reflects higher average selling prices, which were implemented to address inflation on raw materials.

Fourth quarter gross margin was 24% versus 30% in the third quarter and 28% on a pro forma basis in last year’s fourth quarter. Decreases compared to both prior periods reflect higher fourth quarter raw material costs, which outpaced the increase in average selling prices. Additionally, Arcadia’s high-end residential business shipped orders out of backlog that were quoted prior to the implementation of price increases. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $4.3 million versus $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2022 and pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $4.8 million in the comparable year-ago quarter.

DynaEnergetics

DynaEnergetics reported fourth quarter sales of $77.6 million, up 10% sequentially and up 53% versus last year’s fourth quarter. Sales in North America increased 12% sequentially, while international sales were comparable to the third quarter. Gross margin was 28% in the fourth quarter compared to 30% in the third quarter and 20% in the 2021 fourth quarter. The sequential decline principally relates to inventory write offs and reserves. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $14.4 million from $13.9 million in the third quarter and $4.0 million in the 2021 fourth quarter.

NobelClad

NobelClad reported fourth quarter sales of $23.1 million, down 1% sequentially and up 9% versus the 2021 fourth quarter. Gross margin was 24%, versus 27% in the third quarter and 20% in the prior-year fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million in both the third and fourth quarters of 2022 and $2.1 million in the 2021 fourth quarter.

NobelClad’s trailing 12-month book-to-bill ratio at the end of the fourth quarter was 1.14. Order backlog increased to $55.5 million from $48.0 million at the end of the third quarter.

Full-year results

Consolidated sales in 2022 were $654.1 million, up 151% versus 2021. Excluding $299.5 million in contributions from Arcadia, full-year 2022 sales were $354.6 million, up 36% from 2021.

Gross margin was 28% versus 23% in 2021. Operating income was $30.0 million versus an operating loss of $2.4 million in the prior year.

Full-year 2022 net income attributable to DMC was $12.2 million. The adjustment to the change in value of the 40% redeemable noncontrolling interest decreased the redeemable noncontrolling interest by $1.9 million. When added to the $12.2 million in net income attributable to DMC stockholders, the resulting net income for calculation of earnings per share was $14.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, based on 19.4 million diluted shares outstanding. Net loss attributable to DMC in the prior year, after the adjustment to redeemable noncontrolling interest, was $(4.6) million, or $(0.26) per diluted share on 17.6 million diluted shares outstanding.

Full-year adjusted net income attributable to DMC*, which includes $21.8 million in non-cash amortization expense of the purchased intangible assets of Arcadia, was $13.5 million, or $0.70 per diluted share.

Full-year adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC* was $74.2 million, up 268% versus 2021. Cash flow provided by operations during 2022 was $44.9 million versus cash flow used in operations of $12.8 million in the prior year.

Arcadia

Arcadia reported 2022 sales of $299.5 million, up 25% from pro forma sales in the prior year. Gross margin was 29% versus pro forma gross margin of 34% in 2021, and adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC was $28.2 million, down 6% from pro forma results in the prior year.

DynaEnergetics

Full-year sales at DynaEnergetics were $264.3 million, up 51% versus 2021. Gross margin improved to 29% from 22% in the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA increased 187% to $46.9 million versus 2021.

NobelClad

NobelClad reported 2022 sales of $90.2 million, up 6% from the prior year. Gross margin was 24% versus 26% last year, while adjusted EBITDA was $11.9 million versus $13.7 million in 2021.

Management Commentary

“DMC’s businesses delivered a strong finish to 2022, reflecting solid execution by our employees, healthy demand for our differentiated products and solutions, and the resiliency of our end markets,” said Michael Kuta, interim Co-CEO.

“The fourth quarter capped a milestone year at DynaEnergetics, which built and shipped 40% more of its flagship DS perforating systems than in 2019, the prior high-water mark for DS unit sales. As demand accelerated throughout the year, a series of process improvements significantly expanded the capacity of DynaEnergetics’ Blum, Texas, production facility. This capacity enabled the business to onboard several new customers during the fourth quarter.

“DynaEnergetics’ fourth quarter gross margin of 28% was up 800 basis points year-over-year but was nevertheless disappointing and several percentage points below our target. We believe continued top-line growth, manufacturing process improvements, the introduction of several new premium products, improved product mix and price increases will collectively drive further margin expansion throughout 2023.

“DynaEnergetics’ international team also delivered an outstanding year, including a 35% increase in sales versus 2021,” Kuta added. “We are optimistic 2023 will bring another year of healthy growth for DynaEnergetics’ North American and international businesses.”

“Arcadia delivered solid year-over-year sales growth during the fourth quarter, reflecting increased pricing to address higher raw material costs. As expected, fourth quarter gross margin was below historic averages due to record-high aluminum prices during part of 2022. A large portion of the remaining high-priced inventory at Arcadia’s commercial business, which generates approximately 85% of Arcadia’s sales, was shipped during the fourth quarter.

“Arcadia Custom, which serves the high-end residential market and generates roughly 15% of Arcadia’s sales, continues to ship orders that were quoted before price increases were implemented. Deliveries of these lower-margin residential orders should be complete during the second half of 2023. We expect Arcadia’s consolidated profitability will improve incrementally throughout 2023 as these inventory and pricing issues subside,” Kuta added.

“Arcadia has made significant progress implementing its new ERP platform, and the first phase of the project should go live during the second quarter. Demand at both the commercial and high-end residential businesses remains healthy, and we are focused on increasing production capacity. We expect our plans to debottleneck Arcadia’s painting capacity will be in effect by the end of 2023.”  

“NobelClad reported fourth quarter sales that were above our forecasts,” Kuta said. “The business also recorded a 15% sequential improvement in its order backlog, which was at a 10-year high at year end. Bookings of NobelClad’s new Cylindra™ cryogenic transition joints, which are used in LNG processing equipment, continue to increase, and customer interest in the DetaPipe™ product also is strong. We are increasingly encouraged by NobelClad’s prospects for growth over the next several years.”

David Aldous, director and interim Co-CEO, said, “Arcadia, DynaEnergetics and NobelClad each demonstrated the strength of their business models and differentiated products during 2022, and each has entered 2023 with solid momentum. Our achievements during the past year would not be possible without the efforts of DMC’s employees, and we sincerely thank them for their dedication to the Company’s success.

“We are confident in DMC’s strategy and the ability of our businesses to defend and extend the leadership positions they have built in their markets. With the goal of maximizing cash flow and improving returns for our stakeholders, we are working with our business leaders to advance DMC’s culture of innovation, enhance our operational excellence and make focused investment decisions that will support DMC’s long-term growth objectives.”  

Guidance

Kuta said first quarter 2023 consolidated sales are expected in a range of $168 million to $178 million versus the $175.1 million reported in the fourth quarter. At the business level, Arcadia is expected to report sales of $70 million to $75 million versus the $74.4 million reported in the fourth quarter. Sales at DynaEnergetics are expected in a range of $78 million to $82 million versus the $77.6 million reported in the fourth quarter. NobelClad’s sales are expected in a range of $20 million to $21 million versus the $23.1 million reported in the fourth quarter.

Consolidated gross margin is expected in a range of 27% to 28% versus the 26% reported in the fourth quarter. First quarter gross margin is expected to improve sequentially at both DynaEnergetics and Arcadia, while NobelClad is expected to be impacted by a less favorable project mix. 

First quarter selling, general and administrative expense is expected in a range of $32 million to $33 million versus the $30.6 million reported in the fourth quarter and will include approximately $2.0 million in patent litigation expense at DynaEnergetics. First quarter SG&A guidance excludes severance expense related to the resignation of DMC’s former CEO.  We expect our SG&A run rate will be below $30 million per quarter by the end of the year, excluding one-time expenses, and will also decline as a percentage of sales.

First quarter amortization expense is expected to be $5.8 million versus the $3.8 million reported in the fourth quarter. (Please note that DMC does not straight-line the amortization of customer relationship intangible assets related to Arcadia. A full 5-year forecast will be in available in the footnotes to our 2022 Form 10-K.)

First quarter depreciation expense is expected to be $3.8 million and interest expense is expected to be $2.2 million. Our annualized effective tax rate is forecasted to be between 28% and 30%.

First quarter adjusted EBITDA attributable to DMC, after deducting the 40% noncontrolling interest, is expected in a range of $17 million to $21 million versus $19.6 million in the fourth quarter.

First quarter capital expenditures are expected to be $4 million to $6 million, while full-year capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $20 million and will include investments in Arcadia’s ERP system and painting capacity.

*Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures used by management to measure operating performance and liquidity. Non-GAAP results are presented only as a supplement to the financial statements based on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial information is provided to enhance the reader’s understanding of DMC’s financial performance, but no non-GAAP measure should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the most directly comparable GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures are provided within the schedules attached to this release.

EBITDA is defined as net income plus or minus net interest plus taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes from EBITDA stock-based compensation, restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance (as further described in the attached financial schedules). Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) attributable to DMC stockholders plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as diluted earnings per share plus restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance. None of these non-GAAP financial measures are recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income as an indicator of operating performance or any other GAAP measure.

Management uses adjusted EBITDA in its operational and financial decision-making, believing that it is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what it deems to be a more reliable indicator of ongoing operating performance. As a result, internal management reports used during monthly operating reviews feature adjusted EBITDA measures. Management believes that investors may find this non-GAAP financial measure useful for similar reasons, although investors are cautioned that non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP disclosures. In addition, management incentive awards are based, in part, on the amount of adjusted EBITDA achieved during relevant periods. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are also used by research analysts, investment bankers and lenders to assess operating performance. For example, a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA is required by the lenders under DMC’s credit facility.

Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted diluted earnings per share are presented because management believes these measures are useful to understand the effects of restructuring and impairment charges and, when appropriate, other items that management does not utilize in assessing DMC’s operating performance, on DMC’s net income (loss) and diluted earnings per share, respectively.

Because not all companies use identical calculations, DMC’s presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. However, these measures can still be useful in evaluating the company’s performance against its peer companies because management believes the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with greater GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, eliminating the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance.

All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are either (i) non-cash items (e.g., depreciation, amortization of purchased intangibles and stock-based compensation) or (ii) items that management does not consider to be useful in assessing DMC’s operating performance (e.g., income taxes, restructuring and impairment charges). In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors can better assess the company’s operating performance if the measures are presented without such items because, unlike cash expenses, these adjustments do not affect DMC’s ability to generate free cash flow or invest in its business. For example, by adjusting for depreciation and amortization in computing EBITDA, users can compare operating performance without regard to different accounting determinations such as useful life. In the case of the other items, management believes that investors can better assess operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact does not reflect ongoing operating performance.

Inogen Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Inogen Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Fourth Quarter Year-over-Year Revenue Growth of 15.3%

Full Year 2022 Year-over-Year Revenue Growth of 5.4%

GOLETA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Inogen, Inc. (Nasdaq: INGN), a medical technology company offering innovative respiratory products for use in the homecare setting, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2022.

Fourth Quarter 2022 Highlights

All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted.

  • Reported total revenue increased 15.3% to $88.1 million, on a constant currency basis total revenue for the quarter increased 17.7%.
  • GAAP net loss of $56.6 million, adjusted net loss of $13.0 million, and adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $10.6 million. GAAP net loss included a one-time loss on disposal of intangible asset of $52.2 million and an offsetting reduction to the fair value of contingent liability of $13.7 million.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $187.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

Full Year 2022 Highlights

All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted.

  • Reported total revenue increased 5.4% to $377.2 million, on a constant currency basis total revenue for the year increased 6.9%.
  • Continued progress on our rental strategy led to a 22.5% increase in rental revenue, primarily due to higher rental patients on service, higher percentage of billable patients and higher reimbursement rates.
  • GAAP net loss of $83.8 million, adjusted net loss of $26.2 million and adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $13.5 million. GAAP net loss included a one-time loss on disposal of intangible asset of $52.2 million and an offsetting reduction to fair value of contingent liability of $15.4 million.
  • Achieved regulatory milestones and announced new products to be launched in 2023.

“Despite the headwinds we faced in 2022, I am pleased with how our team successfully managed these challenges, while growing revenue and executing on our transformation,” said Nabil Shabshab, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We remain focused on our innovation pipeline to provide a foundation for growth along with judicious management of operating expenses to drive medium to long-term growth.”

Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Fourth quarter total revenue increased 15.3% to $88.1 million from $76.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to growth in domestic business-to-business sales and rental revenue, partially offset by lower direct-to-consumer sales.

Total gross margin was 33.5% in the fourth quarter of 2022 versus 50.5% in the comparative period in 2021. The decline was driven primarily by sales channel mix, increased material costs including premiums paid for components and higher warranty costs, partially offset by higher manufacturing productivity from increased production volumes.

Total operating expense for the quarter was $88.0 million compared to $45.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 94.3%. The current period expenses include a one-time loss on disposal of intangible asset of $52.2 million. Excluding this loss, operating expense decreased 20.9%, primarily due to the change in fair value of the New Aera earnout liability.

GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $56.6 million compared to GAAP net loss of $22.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted net loss was $13.0 million compared to adjusted net loss of $20.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $10.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to a negative $0.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Cash and cash equivalents were $187.0 million as of December 31, 2022, and no debt outstanding.

Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Total revenue of $377.2 million, up 5.4% versus 2021, primarily due to higher international business-to-business sales and rental revenue, partially offset by lower domestic business-to-business and direct-to-consumer sales.

Total gross margin was 40.7% for the full year 2022 versus 49.3% in 2021. The decline was primarily driven by increased material costs related to premiums paid for semiconductor chips and sales channel mix. Additional impacts included higher cost of other materials and warranty costs as well as lower manufacturing productivity. This was partially offset by the impact of higher selling prices across all channels.

Total operating expense for the full year was $238.8 million compared to $167.2 million for the full year 2021, representing an increase of 42.8%. Excluding the loss on disposal of intangible asset, operating expense increased 11.6%. The increased spend was primarily due to ongoing strategic investments required to position the Company for long-term sustainable growth. These expenses included increases in personnel-related expenses, our prescriber initiative, product development, and consulting expenses.

GAAP net loss for full year 2022 was $83.8 million compared to GAAP net loss of $6.3 million for full year 2021. Adjusted net loss was $26.2 million compared to adjusted net income of $1.8 million for full year 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA was a negative $13.5 million for the full year 2022 compared to a positive $29.5 million for the full year 2021.

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are provided in the financial schedules that are a part of this press release. An explanation of these non-GAAP financial measures is also included below under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others, Inogen’s expectations for future growth and profitability; expectations related to our sales force and productivity; and our expectations related to management of operating expenses. Any statements contained in this communication that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “will,” “intends,” “potential,” “possible,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from currently anticipated results, including but not limited to, risks arising from the possibility that Inogen will not realize anticipated revenue; risks related to the Company’s supply chain, or cost inflation for such components; the risks our innovation pipeline will not produce meaningful results; the impact of changes in reimbursement rates and reimbursement and regulatory policies; and the possible loss of key employees, customers, or suppliers; the risk that expenses and costs will exceed Inogen’s expectations. Information on these and additional risks, uncertainties, and other information affecting Inogen’s business operating results are contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022, and in its other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional information will also be set forth in Inogen’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. Inogen disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Inogen has presented certain financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP and also on a non-GAAP basis for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021. Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures, taken in conjunction with U.S. GAAP financial measures, provide useful information for both management and investors by excluding certain non-cash and other expenses that are not indicative of Inogen’s core operating results. Management uses non-GAAP measures to compare Inogen’s performance relative to forecasts and strategic plans, to benchmark Inogen’s performance externally against competitors, and for certain compensation decisions. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of Inogen’s operating results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Inogen encourages investors to carefully consider its results under U.S. GAAP, as well as its supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand its business. Reconciliations between U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP results are presented in the accompanying tables of this release. For future periods, Inogen is unable to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the amounts of interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, provision for income taxes, and certain other infrequently occurring items, such as acquisition-related costs, that may be incurred in the future.

Travere Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Recently received U.S. FDA accelerated approval of FILSPARI™ (sparsentan), the first and only non-immunosuppressive therapy for the reduction of proteinuria in 
IgA nephropathy (IgAN)

European Medicines Agency (EMA) review decision for potential conditional approval of sparsentan in IgAN anticipated in second half of 2023

Pivotal DUPLEX Study of sparsentan in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) 
on track to report topline data from confirmatory two-year endpoints in second quarter of 2023

Net product sales of $52 million for the fourth quarter of 2022; $201 million for the full year 2022

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Travere Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TVTX) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results and provided a corporate update.

  • On February 17, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to FILSPARI™ (sparsentan) to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary IgAN at risk of rapid disease progression, generally a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥1.5 g/g
  • Commercial availability of FILSPARI expected the week of February 27, 2023
  • Review decision by the EMA on the potential approval of the Conditional Marketing Authorization (CMA) application for sparsentan for the treatment of IgAN in Europe expected in second half 2023
  • Topline data from the two-year confirmatory endpoints in the ongoing Phase 3 DUPLEX Study of sparsentan in FSGS expected in the second quarter of 2023
  • Topline data from the two-year confirmatory endpoints in the ongoing Phase 3 PROTECT Study of sparsentan in IgAN expected in the fourth quarter of 2023
  • Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $55.9 million, consisting of $52.3 million in net product sales and $3.5 million in licensing and collaboration revenue
  • Total revenue for the full year 2022 was $212.0 million, consisting of $200.5 million in net product sales and $11.5 million in licensing and collaboration revenue
  • Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as of December 31, 2022, totaled $450.2 million

“2022 was a foundational year for Travere. We demonstrated clinical expertise with the advancement of our development programs, reached new patients with our approved products, and prepared our organization for a new phase of growth to deliver new medicines to rare disease patients,” said Eric Dube, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Travere Therapeutics. “Most importantly, our accomplishments in 2022 led to the recent accelerated approval of FILSPARI for the reduction of proteinuria in patients with IgAN, the first FDA approval from our development pipeline of therapies targeting rare diseases with limited or no treatment options. Our teams began calling on prescribers on February 20th and we are pleased with the early reception to education on FILSPARI’s superior proteinuria reduction compared to irbesartan and its well-defined safety profile. In addition to remaining focused on a successful U.S. launch of FILSPARI in 2023, we are continuing to advance our programs with a number of exciting milestones ahead. In the second quarter, we look forward to two-year data from the ongoing DUPLEX Study of sparsentan in FSGS, and later in the year we expect a review decision on the CMA application for sparsentan for the treatment of IgAN in Europe. We also anticipate additional data from our novel pegtibatinase program for HCU and the potential initiation of a Phase 3 program this year. We take great pride in our progress to date and are honored to provide life-changing treatments to patients with rare disease.”


Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Net product sales for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $52.3 million, compared to $54.6 million for the same period in 2021. For the full year 2022, net product sales were $200.5 million, compared to $210.8 million for the same period in 2021. The difference is largely attributable to a decrease in Thiola sales partially offset by an increase in sales of the Company’s bile acid products.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $60.2 million, compared to $62.2 million for the same period in 2021. For the full year 2022, R&D expenses were $235.8 million, compared to $210.3 million for the same period in 2021. The difference is largely attributable to the continued advancement of the Company’s sparsentan and pegtibatinase clinical programs, including clinical trial expenses, manufacturing and increased headcount. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, R&D expenses were $54.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $57.7 million for the same period in 2021.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $62.9 million, compared to $42.1 million for the same period in 2021. For the full year 2022, SG&A expenses were $220.2 million, compared to $149.9 million for the same period in 2021. The difference is largely attributable to commercial launch preparations for FILSPARI, including additional field-based headcount. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, SG&A expenses were $50.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $ 30.9 million for the same period in 2021.

Total other income, net, for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $1.1 million, compared to total other expense, net, of $4.4 million for the same period in 2021. The difference is largely attributable to increased interest income and lower interest expense during the period.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $65.8 million, or $1.03 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $51.6 million, or $0.84 per basic share for the same period in 2021. For the full year 2022, net loss was $278.5 million, compared to $180.1 million for the same period in 2021. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $49.1 million, or $0.76 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $37.6 million, or $0.61 per basic share for the same period in 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $450.2 million.


Program Updates

FILSPARI™ (sparsentan) – IgAN

  • On February 17, 2023, the U.S. FDA granted accelerated approval to FILSPARI to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary IgAN at risk of rapid disease progression, generally a urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥1.5 g/g. The approval of FILSPARI is based on clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvements in proteinuria compared to irbesartan, an active comparator, in the pivotal and ongoing Phase 3 PROTECT Study, the largest head-to-head interventional study to date in IgAN.
  • FILSPARI is expected to be commercially available beginning the week of February 27, 2023. The Company has launched Travere TotalCare™ to provide a comprehensive patient support program to enable a smooth experience for patients, their caregivers and healthcare providers. This program provides services, assistance and resources that will help patients understand IgAN, manage the insurance process, fill their prescriptions and initiate treatment.
  • In the second half of 2023, the Company together with its collaborator CSL Vifor, anticipates a review decision by the EMA on the potential approval of the CMA application for sparsentan for the treatment of IgAN in Europe. If approved, sparsentan would receive CMA in all member states of the European Union, as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company expects to report topline results from the two-year confirmatory endpoints in the ongoing Phase 3 PROTECT Study, which are designed to support traditional approval of sparsentan in IgAN.
  • Beginning in 2023, the Company plans to expand data generation through a sub study in the open-label extension of the ongoing PROTECT Study, as well as an open-label clinical study to investigate the safety and efficacy of sparsentan in combination with sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) for the treatment of IgAN.

Sparsentan – FSGS

  • In February 2021, the Company announced that the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 DUPLEX Study of sparsentan in FSGS achieved its pre-specified interim FSGS partial remission of proteinuria endpoint (FPRE) with statistical significance. FPRE is a clinically meaningful endpoint defined as urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UP/C) ≤1.5 g/g and a >40 percent reduction in UP/C from baseline. After 36 weeks of treatment, 42.0 percent of patients receiving sparsentan achieved FPRE, compared to 26.0 percent of irbesartan-treated patients (p=0.0094). Preliminary results at the time of the interim assessment suggested that sparsentan had been generally well-tolerated and showed a comparable safety profile to irbesartan. The DUPLEX Study is fully enrolled and scheduled to continue as planned on a blinded basis to assess the confirmatory eGFR endpoint after 108 weeks of treatment.
  • In the second quarter of 2023, the Company expects to report topline results from the two-year confirmatory endpoints in the ongoing Phase 3 DUPLEX Study of sparsentan in FSGS. Pending data supportive of approval, the Company anticipates submitting a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for traditional approval for FSGS in the second half of 2023.
  • Pending completion of the DUPLEX Study of sparsentan in FSGS and data supportive of approval, a subsequent variation to the CMA of sparsentan for the treatment of FSGS in Europe is targeted for submission by the end of 2023.

Pegtibatinase (TVT-058) – HCU

The Company continues to advance pegtibatinase, a novel investigational enzyme replacement therapy with the potential to become the first disease-modifying therapy for people living with classical homocystinuria (HCU). Following positive results from the first five cohorts of the ongoing Phase 1/2 COMPOSE Study, the Company is evaluating pegtibatinase in a final cohort in the COMPOSE Study to further inform its potential pivotal development program.

  • In the fourth quarter of 2022, enrollment completed in the sixth and final cohort of the ongoing Phase 1/2 COMPOSE Study. The Company anticipates reporting additional data from COMPOSE in mid-2023.
  • In parallel with completing the final cohort in the COMPOSE Study, the Company is preparing for the potential initiation of a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of pegtibatinase in patients with HCU in the second half of 2023.

CDCA – CTX

The Company’s chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) program includes Chenodal (chenodiol), a commercially available product that is under clinical evaluation to include an indication for cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX), a rare, progressive, and underdiagnosed bile acid synthesis disorder, to its label.

  • During 2023, the Company expects to complete the ongoing Phase 3 RESTORE Study in CTX. Pending supportive data, the Company anticipates being in position to subsequently submit an NDA for a CTX indication.

Conference Call Information

Travere Therapeutics will host a conference call and webcast today, Thursday, February 23, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss company updates as well as fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results. To participate in the conference call, dial +1 (888) 204-4368 (U.S.) or +1 (323) 794-2551 (International), confirmation code 6044043. The webcast can be accessed on the Investor page of Travere’s website at ir.travere.com/events-presentations. Following the live webcast, an archived version of the call will be available for 30 days on the Company’s website.

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, revaluation of business combination related contingent consideration 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.

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 2.5% 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 Upper Limit of Normal (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), endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs), or aliskiren.

Warnings
and
Precautions

  • Hepatotoxicity:
    Hepatotoxicity: Elevations in ALT or AST of at least 3-fold ULN have been observed. To reduce the risk of potential serious hepatotoxicity, measure serum aminotransferase levels and total bilirubin prior to initiation of treatment, 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.

  • Embryo-Fetal
    Toxicity: FILSPARI can cause fetal harm. Advise patients who can become pregnant of the potential risk to a fetus. Obtain a pregnancy test and advise patients who can become pregnant to use effective contraception prior to, during, and one month after discontinuation of FILSPARI treatment.

  • FILSPARI
    REMS: FILSPARI is available only through a restricted program under a REMS called the FILSPARI REMS.
    Important requirements include:

    • Prescribers must be certified with the FILSPARI REMS by enrolling and completing training.
    • All patients must enroll in the FILSPARI REMS prior to initiating treatment and comply with monitoring requirements.
    • Pharmacies that dispense FILSPARI must be certified with the FILSPARI REMS and must dispense only to patients who are authorized to receive FILSPARI.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Without limiting the foregoing, these statements are often identified by the words “on-track”, “positioned”, “look forward to”, “may”, “might”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends,” “potential” or similar expressions. In addition, expressions of our strategies, intentions or plans are also forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, references to: the timing of commercial availability of FILSPARI; expectations regarding the EMA’s review decision on and potential approval of sparsentan for IgAN during the second half of 2023 or at all; the success and timing of the Company’s U.S. launch of FILSPARI in 2023; the Company’s continued development of its product candidates; the completion of the DUPLEX Study and targeted submission thereafter of a subsequent variation to the CMA of sparsentan for the treatment of FSGS in Europe; expectations regarding the future conduct of the ongoing PROTECT and DUPLEX Studies and timing for the topline eGFR endpoint analyses; the Company’s plans to expand data generation through a sub study in the open-label extension of the PROTECT Study and an open-label clinical study to investigate the safety and efficacy of sparsentan in combination with SGLT2is for the treatment of IgAN; the Company’s submission of an sNDA for traditional approval of sparsentan for FSGS in the second half of 2023; expectations regarding the future conduct of and timing for reporting additional data from the COMPOSE Study; the Company’s potential initiation of a pivotal Phase 3 trial of pegtibatinase in patients with HCU in the second half of 2023; expectations regarding completion of the RESTORE Study and subsequent submission of an NDA for a CTX indication; references to the efficacy, safety and tolerability profile of sparsentan based on the preliminary data from the DUPLEX and PROTECT Studies’ interim analyses; and the potential for pegtibatinase to  become the first disease modifying therapy for people living with  HCU. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties associated with the regulatory review and approval process, including the traditional and Subpart H accelerated approval pathways in the United States and the CMA pathway in the European Union, as well as risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s business and finances in general, success of its commercial products and risks and uncertainties associated with the Company’s preclinical and clinical stage pipeline. Specifically, the Company faces risks associated with market acceptance of its commercial products including efficacy, safety, price, reimbursement and benefit over competing therapies, as well as risks associated with the successful development and execution of commercial strategies for such products, including FILSPARI. The risks and uncertainties the Company faces with respect to its preclinical and clinical stage pipeline include risk that the Company’s clinical candidates will not be found to be safe or effective and that current or anticipated future clinical trials will not proceed as planned. Specifically, the Company faces the risk that the Phase 3 PROTECT Study of sparsentan in IgAN will not demonstrate that sparsentan is safe or effective or serve as the basis for further approval of sparsentan as planned; the risk that the Phase 3 DUPLEX Study of sparsentan in FSGS will not demonstrate that sparsentan is safe or effective or serve as a basis for traditional approval of sparsentan as planned; the risk that sparsentan will not be approved further for efficacy, safety, regulatory or other reasons; the RESTORE Study in CTX will not demonstrate that Chenodal is safe or effective for CTX or otherwise support an NDA for a CTX indication; and for each of the Company’s programs, risk associated with enrollment of clinical trials for rare diseases and risk that ongoing or planned clinical trials may not succeed or may be delayed or abandoned for safety, regulatory, program assessment or other reasons. There is no guarantee that the DUPLEX Study will support an application for traditional review or that sparsentan will be approved for FSGS or in additional territories. There is also no guarantee that the results from the ongoing clinical study of pegtibatinase will be positive, or that the Company will be able to align with regulators on the design of, or ultimately proceed with, a pivotal program for pegtibatinase for HCU. The Company faces risk that it will be unable to raise additional funding that may be required to complete development of any or all of its product candidates, including as a result of macroeconomic conditions; risk relating to the Company’s dependence on contractors for clinical drug supply and commercial manufacturing; uncertainties relating to patent protection and exclusivity periods and intellectual property rights of third parties; risks associated with regulatory interactions; risks and uncertainties relating to competitive products, including current and potential future generic competition with certain of the Company’s products, and technological changes that may limit demand for the Company’s products. The Company also faces additional risks associated with global and macroeconomic conditions, including health epidemics and pandemics, including risks related to potential disruptions to clinical trials, commercialization activity, supply chain, and manufacturing operations. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as there are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond our control. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Investors are referred to the full discussion of risks and uncertainties, including under the heading “Risk Factors”, as included in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MercadoLibre, Inc. (Nasdaq: MELI) (http://www.mercadolibre.com), Latin America’s leading e-commerce technology company, today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

To our Shareholders

The end of the fourth quarter of 2022 brought a highly successful year to a close. Over the last 12 months, we have processed more than $100bn in payments, booked over $10bn of net revenues, shipped more than 1bn items through Mercado Envios, and surpassed $1bn of Income from operations, all for the first time in our history. These major milestones confirm a successful and transformational multi year period for MercadoLibre.

Over the last three years, we have built a GMV base that is 2.5x larger than in 2019 and continues to grow, we have ramped-up a logistics network with world-class delivery speeds (GMV delivered within 48 hours rose from an average of 44% in 2019 to almost 80% in 2022) and we have strengthened the other key pillars of our Commerce value proposition: assortment, price and service. The much-increased scale gained through this three year period solidifies our position as Latin America’s e-commerce leader. It also positions us well to continue to capitalize on the growth opportunity of the offline to online shift in retailing across the region.

During the same three year period we have also grown our TPV more than 4x, and our Fintech revenues nearly 5x, making our Fintech business a major contributor to our top and bottom line growth. At the same time, we have launched a full suite of products and services that extends our original payments offering to cards, credit, insurance and savings, amongst others. Although we still have more products to build, the launches of the last 18 months give us – for the first time – the critical mass of services that would enable our users to have their principal financial services relationship with Mercado Pago. Of our almost 44mn unique active Fintech users in Q4’22, more than half already utilize the wallet to make payments. These users are a natural (and growing) audience for us to cross-sell additional services and products in a unified and simple manner, and build towards achieving principality. Our competitive advantages in distribution and credit underwriting should support these cross-selling efforts.

Our market share of SMB Financial Services distribution is still low, with plenty of upside. In Brazil, we expect that our move “upmarket” to serve larger long tail merchants and the lower end of the SMB segment will continue to drive growth and market share gains. Mexico and Chile are both at an early stage of development, and we expect to be a protagonist in the expansion of SMB services in those markets.

As a consequence of the building blocks we have laid over this past period, we believe we are well-positioned to continue to drive growth and profit expansion in our businesses in the coming years. Our results in the fourth quarter provide a good example of how a combination of strong execution, increased scale, solid competitive advantages and appropriate long-term thinking can yield high growth and market share gains alongside robust profit increases.

Commerce

A strong performance in the fourth quarter rounded-off a great year for our Commerce business. Our FX-neutral GMV growth accelerated to 35% in Q4’22, with Brazil (22% FX-neutral GMV growth) and Mexico (28% FX-neutral GMV growth) driving the acceleration. Our Black Friday campaign in Brazil significantly outperformed a weak market and this was just one of the highlights in a year of major market share gains in several categories that was consistent across most geographies. These gains have been achieved not with silver bullets, but with consistent investment and execution around all aspects of our value proposition over an extended period.

We delivered a record-breaking El Buen Fin campaign in Mexico, placing the country as our fastest growing market in volume terms. This growth shows the traction we have achieved, with unique buyers growing above 20% year-on-year in 2022. These metrics reflect our strong competitive positioning, which helped us to extend our market leadership in Q4’22 in Mexico, and across most markets.

Argentina has shown weaker volume trends, with sold items growth decelerating for a third successive quarter, and falling into negative territory. Consumers’ budgets are facing headwinds from rising prices but, despite short-term pressures, profitability is strong and we remain confident in our long-term competitive position. Macroeconomic factors also continue to impact Chile, but we are pleased to see that our GMV growth has improved on a sequential basis, and our volume growth is back into positive territory.

Mercado Envios sustained its delivery speed leadership across the region, helping us to achieve the strong peak season GMV growth mentioned above. Mercado Envios also reached its highest ever level of fulfillment penetration of 43% in Q4’22, surpassing the previous record reached in Q4’21. Brazil saw a sequential increase in fulfillment, with penetration back to its peak level of 40%. Mexico and Chile reached new highs in fulfillment penetration. Our logistics teams have done a good job of mitigating external cost pressures through efficiencies and pricing, so even with the costs related to higher fulfillment penetration, our Q4’22 net shipping cost was broadly stable as a percentage of GMV, with a notable improvement in Mexico.

Mercado Ads continued to grow at a rapid pace in 2022 in all key geographies, with revenue as a percentage of GMV reaching 1.4% in Q4’22. This marks another consistent step in the business’ expansion, making the Ads business more than 5x larger than it was three years ago. This year has also been an important year in building-out our capabilities, supported by doubling the number of engineers allocated to the Ads business. This year’s technology deployments included our own Ad Server, which enables the automatic insertion of display advertising, targeting capabilities and an automated dashboard for real-time reporting for Display performance, as well as enhancements to the bidding process and placement logic of product ads. We have also made important progress in the development of our DSP (demand side platform), which we expect to launch in 2023 and will significantly upgrade our capabilities. All of these improvements are aligned with our strategy to build a complete Ad Tech platform in Latin America.

Fintech

Momentum in our Fintech business remains strong. Our unique active fintech users reached almost 44mn in Q4’22, rising 27% year-on-year, whilst TPV grew at 45% in US dollars and 80% on an FX-neutral basis. A strong off-platform performance in Q4’22, with growth of 58% in US dollars and 121% on an FX-neutral basis, took our quarterly off-platform TPV over $25bn for the first time. This is a big accomplishment, placing us on an annualized run rate of over $100bn, but this is just the latest milestone on a path that has much further to run.

One of the main ambitions on that path is to achieve principality amongst the portion of our user base where our distribution and underwriting capabilities enable us to offer a strong value proposition. One of the keys to unlocking principality is being able to offer the products and services that satisfy our users’ day-to-day needs. After 12 to 18 months of product development and deployment, we now have the tools in place to shift Mercado Pago from being mainly a payments wallet to a full-service digital account for our users. In Q4’22, the average number of products being used by our Digital Account customers continued to rise. We are already seeing this fast growth translating to profitability in Argentina.

In Brazil and Mexico, the Credit Card will have an important role to play in achieving the aforementioned principality, given the product’s value to consumers for their day-to-day needs. Through the second half of 2022, we have seen a significant improvement in the performance of our Credit Card business after the slowdown of new card issuance in the first half. Our underwriting has improved, although the latest cohorts remain small, so we have further to go before being comfortable to re-accelerate. That said, we are pleased with our progress, and we expect to launch in Mexico in 2023.

Mercado Credito as a whole continued to deliver strong results in Q4’22 with a period-end portfolio of $2.8bn and IMAL spread of 48%. This was the highest spread achieved in 2022, a function of adjustments to our APRs, broadly flat originations (which means slower formation of new provisions than earlier in the year), a larger mix of lower risk cohorts in all markets, and better asset quality. The steps that we took in mid-2022 to mitigate the risks of a weaker lending environment – particularly in Brazil – have worked as intended and, as a result, our early <90-day NPL improved sequentially to 10% in Q4’22 and was broadly stable year-on-year. Brazil made a notable contribution to this improvement in both the Consumer and Credit Card books. Looking at the year as a whole, we are pleased to have been able to strike a good balance between risk management, profitability and growth at Mercado Credito. Nevertheless, we remain alert to the short-term headwinds that the business faces, and we will maintain a cautious posture until we are confident that the cycle has turned.

Our POS business has played an important role in our achievement of surpassing $25bn in quarterly off-platform TPV, with growth of 61% in US dollars and 78% on an FX-neutral basis in Q4’22. We have seen strong and consistent growth trends in MPOS throughout the year in our four largest markets. Mexico and Chile have performed particularly well (albeit from relatively low bases), and we see significant growth potential in these markets, which are still at an early stage of development. Brazil has also performed well in 2022, with our move “upmarket” to serve medium- and large-sized long tail merchants and the lower end of the SMB segment, making a major contribution to TPV expansion and strong growth in TPV per device. This has put some pressure on the take rate, but given that larger merchants transact much more frequently, revenue is highly accretive.

Our Online Payments business also delivered consistent levels of growth in 2022, and in the fourth quarter, FX neutral TPV growth was stable in Brazil and accelerated in Mexico and Argentina. Within our Online Payments business, the Big Company category showed the fastest rate of growth, highlighting our ability to serve merchants of all sizes with our variety of services.

Consolidated Results

A strong finish to the year took our full-year revenue past $10bn and our income from operations past $1bn, both new records. We are particularly pleased to have been able to deliver an attractive combination of growth and profitability throughout the year, alongside strong operational KPIs and market share gains, all whilst sustaining a high level of investment in new products and technologies.

In Q4’22, we generated $3.0bn of net revenues, growing year-on-year at 56.5% on an FX-neutral basis, and 41% in US dollars. Our Commerce business contributed almost $1.7bn to this figure, with 36% FX-neutral growth, whilst our Fintech operations delivered over $1.3bn of net revenues, with 93% FX-neutral growth. Our Commerce take rate rose by 20bps year-on-year, primarily due to a higher penetration of advertising. Our Fintech take rate rose significantly year-on-year, supported by Mercado Credito’s revenue of $560mn, growing 88% year-on-year, and repricing in the Acquiring business. On a sequential basis, the Fintech take rate declined slightly due to a lower level of credit revenue relative to TPV, but there was a small increase in the take rate of the other revenue streams within Fintech.

Our Q4’22 income from operations reached $349mn, rising from $24mn in Q4’21, with a margin of 11.6% over net revenues. Part of the negative impact on margins from fourth quarter seasonality in our Commerce business was offset by our continuous improvement in how to manage the promotional season, and with more efficiency in logistics and promotional spending. We also delivered higher margins in most geographies as a result of a stronger-than-expected performance in Fintech, which was driven by significant profit growth in our Acquiring business, record results from Mercado Credito, and a notable reduction of losses in our Wallet and Digital Account operations. In other words, the quarter’s major improvement in profitability was driven by a combination of operating leverage on continued top line growth, strong execution and a clear focus on cost efficiency across the business.

We generated $165mn of net income in Q4’22, including a $64mn net foreign currency loss and an unusually high tax charge of $144mn. The principal driver of this high tax charge was the recognition of the deferred tax liabilities of the FIDCs that fund our credit business. In 2022, our net income reached $482mn, rising from $83mn in 2021, underlining our commitment to profitable growth. Cash flow from operations for the year reached $2,940mn, and total cash and cash equivalents ended the year at $1,910mn, alongside an improvement in our leverage ratios.

Looking Ahead

After a year of successfully navigating macroeconomic instability across the region and delivering on our promise of sustainable and sequential growth in profit dollars, we are confident in Mercado Libre’s growth potential in the coming years. We will continue to develop competitive advantages through technology so that we are best placed to capitalize on the growth opportunities in Commerce and Fintech across Latin America. Our technology investment has more than doubled over the last two years, and this gives us more resources than ever to pursue those growth opportunities.

In the short-term, we are operating in a fast-changing competitive landscape in Brazil. Our teams have, as always, been active in ensuring that Mercado Libre is positioned as a natural home for consumers and merchants seeking commerce and fintech solutions for their daily needs.

For the long-term, we remain as optimistic as ever about the fundamentals of our business, and we are confident that the best is yet to come.

Non-GAAP Measures of Financial Performance

To supplement our audited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present foreign exchange (“FX”) neutral measures as a non-GAAP measure. Reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure can be found in the tables below.

This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may be different from FX neutral non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, this non-GAAP measure is not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. FX neutral non-GAAP measure has limitations in that it does not reflect the impact of foreign exchange as required by U.S. GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

We provide this non-GAAP financial measure to enhance overall understanding of our current financial performance and its prospects for the future. We believe that FX neutral measures provide useful information to both Management and investors by excluding the foreign currency exchange rate impact that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook.

The FX neutral measures were calculated by using the average monthly exchange rates for each month during 2021 and applying them to the corresponding months in 2022, so as to calculate what our results would have been had exchange rates remained stable from one year to the next. The comparative FX neutral measures were calculated by using the average monthly exchange rates for each month during 2020 and applying them to the corresponding months in 2021 The table below excludes intercompany allocation FX effects. Finally, these measures do not include any other macroeconomic effect such as local currency inflation effects, the impact on impairment calculations or any price adjustment to compensate local currency inflation or devaluations.

The following table sets forth the FX neutral measures related to our reported results of the operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022:
