Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONXX) today reported its financial results for the second quarter 2013 and provided a business update on Kyprolis® (carfilzomib) for Injection, Nexavar® (sorafenib) tablets and Stivarga® (regorafenib) tablets.

"Accelerating revenue from each of our products, coupled with strategic investment to unlock the value of Kyprolis, provides a compelling platform for the current and future growth of Onyx," said Tony Coles, M.D., chairman and chief executive officer of Onyx. "With our Phase 3 program for Kyprolis across all lines of multiple myeloma therapy, we are committed to expanding the label globally, and we have a clear strategy to enable a filing in Europe in the second half of 2014, pending positive results from both ASPIRE and FOCUS. Important commercial, clinical, and regulatory momentum across the business continues to drive Onyx's value creation as we become an emerging global oncology leader."

For the second quarter of 2013, Onyx reported total revenue of $153.0 million and a non-GAAP net loss of $29.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. On a GAAP basis, Onyx reported a net loss of $53.2 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the second quarter 2013. A description of the non-GAAP calculations and reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the accompanying table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Revenue Total revenue of $153.0 million for the second quarter of 2013 represented a 110% increase from total revenue of $72.7 million for the comparable period in 2012.

  • Revenue from the Nexavar collaboration agreement with Bayer for the second quarter of 2013 was $81.8 million as compared to $72.7 million for the comparable period in 2012. The increase in revenue from collaboration was primarily due to sales growth in the United States and Asia Pacific regions as well as lower expenses.
  • Kyprolis net sales for the second quarter of 2013 were $61.0 million, representing orders shipped to and received by customers such as physician offices and hospitals. In addition, Onyx recorded deferred revenue of $10.0 million as of June 30, 2013, representing Kyprolis inventory at distributors which had not yet shipped to physician offices and hospitals.
  • Stivarga royalty revenue was $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2013. Onyx receives a 20% royalty on global net sales of Stivarga in jurisdictions that have received commercial marketing approval. Stivarga is a Bayer compound developed by Bayer and jointly promoted by Bayer and Onyx in the United States.

Operating Expenses Non-GAAP cost of goods sold was $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2013. Cost of goods sold related to sales of Kyprolis is not representative of Onyx's future expectations of cost of goods sold because certain product costs associated with Kyprolis sales in the second quarter of 2013 were charged to research and development expense in periods prior to approval on July 20, 2012. On a GAAP basis, cost of goods sold was $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2013.

Non-GAAP research and development expense was $99.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $73.6 million for the same period in 2012. Higher research and development expense between periods was primarily due to the global development of Kyprolis, particularly the ongoing Phase 3 ENDEAVOR trial, and start-up activities associated with the front-line CLARION study, as well as oprozomib development expense, which were partially offset by lower Kyprolis Phase 3 FOCUS and ASPIRE trial expense. On a GAAP basis, research and development expense was $102.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $76.4 million for the same period in 2012.

Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense was $78.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $40.7 million for the same period in 2012. Higher selling, general and administrative expense between periods was primarily related to the increased headcount following the hiring of the field sales force associated with the commercial launch of Kyprolis in the United States and adding select capabilities internationally. On a GAAP basis, selling, general and administrative expense was $87.5 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to $48.9 million for the same period in 2012.

Onyx recorded amortization expense of $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2013, which reflected the amortization of its finite-lived intangible asset, which was acquired in the 2009 acquisition of Proteolix, Inc.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities On June 30, 2013, cash, cash equivalents and current and non-current marketable securities were $755.9 million, compared to $492.8 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to net proceeds of approximately $352 million received from a public offering of 4.4 million shares of common stock, completed in January 2013, offset primarily by net operating expenses.

Six-Month Results Total revenue was $298.5 million and $144.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Revenue from the Nexavar collaboration agreement with Bayer was $152.1 million and $144.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Kyprolis net sales were $125.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Stivarga royalty revenue was $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Non-GAAP net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $42.8 million or $0.59 per diluted share, compared to $87.1 million, or $1.36 per diluted share for the same period in 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, on a GAAP basis Onyx recorded a net loss of $86.8 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $162.3 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012.

Onyx management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate our operating results and trends on an on-going basis, and internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Onyx management believes the non-GAAP information is useful for investors by offering the ability to better identify trends in our business and better understand how management evaluates the business. These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of income and expense that affect Onyx. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measurements required by GAAP.

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items:

(a) Contingent consideration expense: The effects of contingent consideration expense are excluded due to the nature of this charge, which is related to the change in fair value of the liability for contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of Proteolix; such exclusion facilitates comparisons of Onyx's operating results to peer companies.

(b) Employee stock-based compensation: The effects of employee stock-based compensation are excluded because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types; such exclusion facilitates comparisons of Onyx's operating results to peer companies.

(c) Imputed interest related to the convertible senior notes due 2016: The effects of imputed interest related to the convertible senior notes due 2016 are excluded because this expense is non-cash; such exclusion facilitates comparisons of Onyx's cash operating results to peer companies.

(d) Proceeds received pursuant to the sale of JAK2 inhibitors by S*BIO: The effects of the termination of the S*BIO collaboration agreement are excluded because they do not relate to the normal and recurring transactions of Onyx's business; such exclusion facilitates comparisons of Onyx's operating results to peer companies.

(e) Intangible asset amortization: The effects of amortization of intangible assets are excluded because this expense is non-cash; such exclusion facilitates comparisons of Onyx's operating results to peer companies.

(f) Under the "if-converted" method, interest and issuance costs and potential common shares related to the Company's convertible senior notes were excluded in the computation of diluted per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 because their effect would be anti-dilutive.
