Pharming Group
Reports Strong Preliminary Financial Results for 2018 including first year of net profit
Highlights:
Leiden, The Netherlands, 7 March 2019: Pharming Group N.V. (“Pharming” or “the Company”) (Euronext Amsterdam: PHARM) presents its preliminary (unaudited) financial report for the full year ended 31 December 2018. The Company will hold a conference call at 13.00 CET/07.00 EST today. Dial in details can be found on page 11 of this report.
Chief Executive Officer Sijmen de Vries said:
“Throughout 2018, as for 2017, we continue to see consistent growth in the numbers of patients benefitting from RUCONEST® in acute attacks of hereditary angioedema (“HAE”). The initial significant surge in growth was caused by patients starting RUCONEST® therapy after we had provided unrestricted emergency treatments free of charge, to cope with the supply shortages of competitor plasma C1 inhibitor products. We retained many of these patients and added new patients throughout the year. The increasing sales from our growing patient base resulted in Pharming’s first year of net profit, despite intense competitive pressure resulting from recent product launches. It also enabled us to increase investment to expand our pipeline, embarking on ambitious development plans for improved delivery methods for RUCONEST® in HAE and for new larger indications. We also continued to advance our existing pipeline programs for Pompe disease and Fabry’s disease. We are confident that with our increasing patient reach and advancing pipeline, we will to continue to deliver significant value to all our stakeholders.”
Chief Executive Officer’s Commentary
2018 was an exciting year for Pharming. We built on the strong foundations of the successful re-launch of RUCONEST® in the USA in 2017, continuing impressive product sales growth from €88.7 million in 2017 to €134.3 million in 2018, an increase of 51%. As well as strong growth in the USA, we continued to develop RUCONEST® in all key markets. In Europe, direct sales grew well during the year, particularly in the major markets of Western Europe, resulting in strong gains in France and the UK and continued growth in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.
As result of the steady sales growth, the Company was profitable at the net level in every quarter and for the year as a whole. Total net profit for the year ended at €25.0 million, representing a net margin of 19% and well ahead of analysts’ forecasts. Operating profit for the year (i.e. EBIT), before a one-off small non-cash correction, almost doubled to €40.6 million (2017: €21.9 million on the same basis), representing an improved operating margin of 30% (2017: 24%). This was achieved despite significant investments in providing free-of-charge emergency support to patients during the stock outages of competitors at the start of the year.
As a result of the continued sales growth in the USA, we achieved the sales level required to trigger the first US$20 million milestone payment due to Bausch Health Companies Inc. (formerly Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc.) which was duly made earlier this week. If sales growth continues at or near the current level, the remaining US$45 million milestones will also be triggered in this or future years.
As a result, we have prudently made a (non-cash) provision for additional fair value of the contingent consideration in the balance sheet, and a corresponding charge to the profit and loss account, of €21.2 million ($25.0 million).
In addition, the increasing profitability of Pharming means that we are likely to be able to use all of our accumulated net operating tax losses, and so we have increased the deferred tax asset which recognises these by a net amount of €25.6 million (2017: €9.4 million), being mainly the tax effect of the total accumulated losses to date in the Netherlands. These two provisions reflect our strong confidence in the performance of our US and EU commercial teams and patients’ increasing confidence in the use of RUCONEST® as their therapy of choice to treat attacks of HAE.
Clear product differentiation
The HAE market remains dynamic, and patient choice continues to increase as new products enter the market for prophylaxis. RUCONEST® has a unique potential competitive advantage in that it is currently the only product with the future potential to be approved for both prophylaxis and treatment of attacks of HAE. Furthermore, in order to increase the convenience of RUCONEST® for patients, we are developing new forms of RUCONEST® with new routes of administration to address both acute attacks and prophylaxis of HAE, such as (painless) intradermal, sub-cutaneous and intramuscular dosage forms with a new ready-mixed liquid vial.
At the end of 2017, we explained our strategy for sales growth in HAE based on creating an optimized sales infrastructure for our needs. During 2018 we have been able to develop this strategy further to add programs for new routes of administration for RUCONEST® and preparation for expansion of rhC1INH into other larger indications, specifically pre-eclampsia and acute kidney injury. We also continued preparation of a clinical trial program for α-glucosidase for Pompe disease. This enhanced strategy and developing pipeline provides Pharming with excellent potential to deliver strong sustainable growth for the long term in these very large areas of unmet medical needs.
None of these achievements and development programs would be possible without the support, expertise and hard work of all our employees. I would like to take this opportunity once again to thank all Pharming employees as well as all of our investors, partners and debt providers for their support and commitment throughout 2018, which enabled us to execute on the commercial development of the Company to create a platform for continued growth.
I look forward with confidence to continuing the upward trajectory of Pharming in 2019, with sales increasing further, new exciting pipeline projects and new opportunities for enhanced shareholder value.

* The tax credit is principally a one-off credit reflecting the balance of the Company’s net operating losses taken on the balance sheet, and is therefore not directly comparable year on year.
** Prior year’s financial statements have been restated as detailed below under Financial Highlights on page 5.
The Capital Markets Day included presentations from key opinion leaders in HAE and pre-eclampsia. Professor Marc Riedl, Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Diego, Clinical Director of the US HAEA Angioedema Center and a world expert on the diagnosis, treatment and etiology of hereditary angioedema, and Professor Gustaaf Dekker, of the school of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Adelaide and a world expert on the etiology and treatment of pre-eclampsia, made presentations of the potential value of C1 esterase inhibitor in these conditions.
The positive results were especially clear in the sub-group of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions such as stent insertions. The intent-to-treat analysis in this group showed that patients on RUCONEST® had a median percentage change in peak urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin within 48 hours, the primary endpoint for the study and a generally-recognized early marker of acute renal injury, of 11.3% in the RUCONEST® arm and 205.2% in the placebo arm (p=0.001). The overall assessment of the study also showed trends that patients undergoing more invasive interventions and procedures requiring higher volumes of contrast medium experienced a stronger benefit from the RUCONEST® treatment.
This data therefore supports additional clinical investigations for the use of rhC1INH in this new indication where there is significant unmet medical need and forms the basis for a follow on study that is currently being designed.
Restatement of prior year
Since 31 December 2018, the following additional events have occurred:
Revenues
Revenues increased to €135.1 million in 2018 (2017: €89.6 million). Both 2017 and 2018 include amounts of deferred license revenue released, reflecting a portion of earlier license fee payments from partners including Swedish Orphan Biovitrum, and China State Industry for Pharmaceutical Industry which have been allocated across a number of financial years in accordance with accounting guidelines. These amounts were €0.8 million in 2018 and €0.9 million in 2017.
Revenues from product sales by Pharming and its partners increased to €134.3 million (2017: €88.7 million) reflecting a good year overall for RUCONEST®. Sales in the USA produced €126.6 million ($149.3 million), up from €83.7 million in 2017. This shows the effect on the top line of the effective execution of commercialisation in the USA.
Sales for RUCONEST® in Europe and the Rest of World (“RoW”) were €7.7 million (2017: €5.0 million), reflecting growth in direct sales by Pharming in the countries recovered from SOBI in 2016, supported by increasing sales of our partners Cytobioteck and SOBI.
Costs of product sales in 2018 amounted to €22.2 million (2017: €12.4 million), reflecting the strongly increased sales volume and savings obtained by better inventory management, plus the cost of contributing free drug to patients unable to afford health insurance and also during the stock limitations at competitors early in the year.
Gross profit increased to €113.0 million in 2018 (2017: €77.2 million), an increase of 46%. The main reasons for this increase were the increased sales in the US and EU.
Operating Costs
Operating costs increased to €75.0 million in 2018 net of grant income (2017: €55.3 million on the same basis). This increase was substantially due to the added cost of clinical research activities relating to the new indications and forms of RUCONEST® as well as the development cost write-back referred to above. There were small increases in marketing and sales activities both in the US and in Europe, mainly in France and the United Kingdom, and in general and administrative costs.
Marketing and sales costs of €34.5 million (2017: €31.4 million) reflect Pharming’s additional new full direct commercialization activities in the US and in France and the United Kingdom in Europe, which were increased slightly during the year as a result of additional sales representatives in the USA.
R&D costs within these figures increased from €18.7 million in 2017 to €28.9 million in 2018. The increased costs mainly relate to developing the new versions of RUCONEST®, preparing for the clinical studies of rhC1INH in pre-eclampsia and acute kidney injury, and continuing work on the preparation and production of α-glucosidase for Pompe disease and α-galactosidase for Fabry disease using Pharming’s proprietary technology platform.
General and administrative costs increased to €12.2 million (2017: €6.0 million). The increase is mainly related to the addition of senior management in the EU and US, costs incurred in connection with management of a more internationally-active company.
Operating Result
Operating results improved very strongly to a profit of €38.0 million in 2018 from €21.9 million in 2017, an increase of 73% in spite of considerable increases in marketing and sales and R&D activity, mainly due to the effect of strong sales growth and efficient production of RUCONEST® in major markets. The basic underlying adjusted operating result was €40.6 million, but this was reduced by a one-off write-back of previously capitalised development costs of €2.6 million relating to a superseded version of the small vial now under development. Operating costs increased significantly, reflecting the increased activity preparing for new clinical studies for pre-eclampsia and acute kidney injury, as well as development work on new forms of RUCONEST® including the concentrated liquid vial format and intramuscular and subcutaneous routes of administration.
The 2018 net loss on financial income and expenses was €37.1 million, compared with a loss of €107.6 million a year earlier. This is mainly due to two items: (i) the interest on loans and borrowings and non-cash adjustments thereto, totalling approximately €14.3 million; and (ii) the increase in the provision for contingent consideration (i.e. the milestones due to Bausch Health Companies Inc. upon reaching certain sales targets) of €21.2 million. A loss was also recorded on the change of value of the loans and borrowings as a result of exchange rates during the year.
As a result of the growth in sales, it is now probable that the Company will be able to use all its remaining net operating tax losses from previous years going forward. The Board of Management has therefore elected to report an increase in the deferred tax asset in accordance with IFRS, reflecting the timing differences between the tax value of those losses and the time when they can be exercised. This has led to another credit to the income tax charge (i.e. a positive movement) of €24.1 million in 2018 (2017: €9.4 million).
Net Result
For the first time in its history, Pharming Group reported net profits in 2018. The net result of a profit of €25.0 million represented a reversal of the loss of €76.2 million in 2017. The main point of difference was the very large adjustments to profit required in 2017 in connection with the amortizing bonds and their subsequent refinance, together with a significant adjustment to fair value of derivative financial liabilities stemming from the large share price rise during 2017. The elimination of these instruments has resulted in simplification of the capitalization table which has led to much smaller adjustments relating to fair value changes during 2018. Together with a stronger operating result from larger sales, this has enabled the Company to reach net profitability which we believe will be sustainable in future periods.
Inventories reduced slightly from €18.3 million in December 2017 to €17.3 million in December 2018, largely due to the increase in sales above the effect of movement of inventory from lower value raw materials to higher value drug product. This level of inventory should enable us to meet the naturally improving sales level especially in the US and in Europe.
The cash position including restricted cash increased from €60.0 million at year-end 2017 to €81.5 million at year-end 2018. This was mainly due to the strong sales performance of RUCONEST® especially in the third and fourth quarters, and occurred despite considerable increases in marketing and R&D activities and the repayment of over €14.5 million ($16.7 million) of the Orbimed loan facility. Cash generation has been strong across all four quarters of 2018, as sales revenues grew and as faster credit collection was achieved.
The Company’s current pattern of sales growth, together with the strong cash generation and cash balance and the tight control over costs going forward, forms the basis of the Board of Management’s view that Pharming Group should be accounted for as a going concern.
As the Company’s sales are largely in US dollars and the Company’s debt is largely in US dollars, a natural hedge exists which means that any decline in the US dollar exchange rate over the year to reduce sales reported in Euros has a balancing effect of reducing the size of the debt liability when reported in Euros, and vice versa. These movements had a total cash effect of a gain of €2.9 million (2017: loss of €1.1 million).
Other Financial Liabilities
The strong sales performance in 2018 has led the Board of Management to increase the book value of the contingent consideration from €28.3 million in 2017 to €49.5 million (US$56.6 million) in 2018. This is essentially a provision for potential future costs (specifically the remaining sales milestone payments to Valeant) of contingent liabilities taken on in the context of the reacquisition of the commercial rights for RUCONEST® in North America in December 2016. This is a strong expression of confidence in the sales performance in the USA for RUCONEST®, which we believe will continue for the time being despite increased competition in the HAE marketplace. As the first milestone amount was due to be paid in the first quarter of 2019, the amount of this payment ($20.0 million or €17.5 million) is shown in the current liabilities section of the balance sheet as at 31 December 2018, with the remainder shown under long term liabilities. Release of part of this provision will have the effect of negating the effect of the milestone payment on the Company’s income statement in the first quarter 2019.
Deferred Tax Assets
At the same time, because we believe that we will continue to generate positive net quarterly results and thus taxable profits in 2019 and beyond, we have recorded an increase in the deferred tax asset to €35.1 million (2017: €9.4 million) in respect of net operating losses which we expect to be able to use in future periods. The net effect of this change is an increase in the net result of €24.1 million. After many years of operating losses, this is a similar strong statement in support of our belief in the underlying sustainable performance of the Company.
Equity
The equity position changed from €16.1 million in December 2017 to €61.8 million in December 2018, mainly due to the changes in: the net result achieved by the Company; the equity increases from conversion or redemption of options, warrants and bonds. This represents an increase of 284%.
During 2018, the Pharming stock price fluctuated around an average price of €1.15 per share. The year-end price was €0.76 (2017: €1.13), with a high of €1.57 in both January and June 2017 and a low of €0.68 in December 2018.
The closing number of shares as at the reporting date was 621,501,238 (2016: 579,014,891). New issues of stock representing a total of 42,486,347 shares were made to investors during the year related to the conversion of the remaining Ordinary Bonds due 2021, exercise of warrants, and exercise of employee options. As at the date of this report, the fully diluted number of shares is 663,472,724 and the number of shares in issue is 622,002,770.
For the remainder of 2019, the Company expects:
