MIAMI (February 24, 2022) – OPKO Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPK) reports business highlights and financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
Business highlights for the fourth quarter of 2021 and subsequent weeks include the following:
• NGENLA® (somatrogon) injection granted regulatory approvals in Europe, Japan, Australia and Canada for pediatric growth hormone deficiency. NGENLA® is a once-weekly, long-acting recombinant human growth hormone for the long-term treatment of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in pediatric patients. NGENLA® has been approved in the European Union, including Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein, Japan, Australia and Canada. Under the worldwide agreement with Pfizer Inc., OPKO is eligible to receive a milestone payment after regulatory approvals and pricing determinations are obtained in major markets outside of the U.S. NGENLA® became commercially available in Canada to patients with pediatric growth hormone deficiency on February 16, 2022, the product's first commercial launch.
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Complete Response Letter for the Biologics License Application for somatrogon. Pfizer is evaluating the FDA's comments and intends to work with the Agency to determine an appropriate path forward in the U.S.
In December 2021, BRL announced a collaboration with MVP Health Care (MVP) to offer MVP's members medically necessary COVID-19 testing, bloodwork and other diagnostic tests in the comfort of their homes. MVP, the first insurer in New York and Vermont to offer this service, is utilizing Scarlet Health®, BRL's seamlessly integrated digital platform that provides specimen collection for laboratory diagnostic services conducted by a Scarlet Health professional in a patient's home or office.
• FDA approved the Premarket Approval Application (PMA) of the 4Kscore® Test. This test is approved for use in men aged 45 years and older who have not had a prior prostate biopsy or are biopsy negative and have an age-specific abnormal total prostate specific antigen (PSA) and/or abnormal digital rectal exam. The 4Kscore Test in the intended use population, when used in conjunction with other clinical factors and patient preferences, can contribute to a properly informed decision asto whether or notto proceed with a prostate biopsy. The regulatory approval provides further validation of the 4Kscore Test as an important diagnostic tool and should assist in expanding reimbursement coverage.
testing volume. Total costs and expenses were \$381.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to \$388.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, resulting in an operating loss of \$18.6 million compared to operating income of \$69.9 million in the 2020 period. The lower operating income is primarily due to a decline in COVID-19 test volume and increased investment in BRL's base business and digital health activities, principally related to Scarlet. Included in the fourth quarter 2021 results were revenue of \$33.1 million and costs and expenses of \$43.4 million at GeneDx compared with revenue of \$20.3 million and costs and expenses of \$36.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.
