ALK-Abelló — Interim / Quarterly Report 2022

Aug 11, 2022

Six-month interim report (Q2) 2022 (unaudited) Company release No. 14/2022

ALK reports Q2 revenue up 17%, EBITDA up 123%, and full-year outlook upgraded

Performance in Q2 was better than expected with double-digit growth in all regions and ALK reported its best-ever Q2 results. Total revenue was up 17% led by sales growth from tablets and Jext® . In Europe, ALK's largest region, sales were up 14% and bounced back strongly after the COVID-led headwinds of Q1. Operating profit (EBITDA) increased 123% on sales growth and improved gross margin. Based on the strong sales momentum, ALK has upgraded its financial outlook for 2022.

Q2 2022 financial highlights

• Total revenue was up 17% in local currencies to DKK 1,045 million (868). Currencies had a positive effect of 3 percentage points, resulting in reported growth of 20%. Revenue for the first six months was up 14% in local currencies (16% reported growth) with tablet sales growth of 21%.
• Tablet sales grew 18% to DKK 480 million (401) on increasing uptake in Europe, where sales were up 21%. Global growth was softened by the phasing of product shipments to Japan.
• Combined SCIT and SLIT-drops sales grew 4% on the recovery in Europe and higher revenue from China, while sales of other products grew due to significantly improved Jext® sales.
• Gross margin improved to 61% (58) primarily on sales growth and efficiencies.
• Operating profit (EBITDA) increased 123% in reported currency to DKK 107 million (48), on strong sales growth and improved gross margin, while R&D and sales and marketing expenses were largely as planned. EBITDA for the first six months was up 38% at DKK 379 million (274).

Key events and strategic progress

ALK continued to make good progress on its strategic priorities and remained resilient to other challenges. In Q2:

• ALK initiated a Phase I clinical trial with its SLIT-tablet for the treatment of peanut allergy. The trial will assess the tolerability and safety of dosing with a SLIT-tablet against peanut allergy taken once daily.
• ALK's two pivotal, Phase III paediatric trials of its house dust mite and tree tablets remain on course for completion in 2023.
• ALK signed an expanded agreement with contract manufacturer Catalent, which secures long-term manufacturing capacity for the SLIT-tablet portfolio to accommodate ALK's strategic growth ambitions towards 2030.

2022 financial outlook

As announced on 4 August 2022, based on a strong sales momentum and the outlook for the remainder of the year, ALK has upgraded its full-year outlook:

• Revenue is now expected to grow 10-13% in local currencies (previously: 8-12%).
• EBITDA is now expected to increase to DKK 675-750 million (previously: 625-725).

PROGRESS ON THE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

ALK continued to advance the work on its strategic priorities in Q2 – succeed in North America, complete and commercialise the tablet portfolio, consumer engagement and new horizons, and optimise for excellence:

In North America, long-established market barriers remain a challenge for the adoption of tablets in the USA, however, ALK remains committed to working with prescribers and to engaging digitally with consumers, in order to mobilise allergy patients, and to drive tablet sales. ALK is also working to secure paediatric and adolescent indications for ACARIZAX® /ODACTRA® . In addition, ALK continues to assess new business models for its tablets in the USA.

Clinical development of the tablet portfolio continued, and ALK's two pivotal, Phase III paediatric trials remain on course for completion in 2023. The paediatric Phase III trial in allergic rhinitis in Europe and North America for the house dust mite tablet includes a number of participants from Ukraine and Russia. Patient recruitment was completed earlier this year and the number of patient dropouts has been minimal. The same is true for the paediatric Phase III trial of the tree pollen tablet in Europe and Canada, which has no Ukraine-based participants, but does have some in Russia. This trial has now completed randomisation of its first cohort of patients and begun screening for the second cohort.

In China, following the clinical trial waiver secured in Q1, ALK continued its preparations ahead of a regulatory submission of a Biologics Licence

Application (BLA) for the house dust mite tablet. The submission is still expected in late 2022.

As previously reported, the paediatric Phase III trial of ALK's house dust mite tablet in allergic asthma was affected by a significant reduction in the frequency of asthma exacerbations during COVID versus prepandemic levels. Following dialogue with authorities, ALK has decided to end the trial. Next step will be to analyse and report the study results.

Initiatives on the 'New horizons' priority progressed well, and in Q2 ALK launched a Phase I trial of its peanut allergy tablet. The trial, which takes place in North America, will assess the tolerability and safety of dosing with a SLIT-tablet against peanut allergy taken once daily, and has an expected completion date in 2023. Meanwhile, work continued on the two parallel adrenaline auto-injector (AAI) projects – one in-house, and one in partnership with Windgap – as they advance towards a planned submission to the US FDA in 2024.

In Q2, ALK continued to develop and leverage its digital ecosystem for consumers, patients and healthcare professionals and is using its behavioural analysis tool with the intent of identifying and prioritising consumers most likely to be suitable for, and to seek, allergy immunotherapy treatment. In addition, Q2 saw new launches of the klarify digital engagement ecosystem in Austria, Czechia, Slovakia and Switzerland and a strong increase in the number of mobilised consumers, illustrating the continuing demand for ALK's consumer-focused engagement efforts.

ALK also signed an expanded agreement with contract manufacturer Catalent, which secures long-term manufacturing capacity for the SLIT-tablet portfolio to accommodate ALK's strategic growth ambitions towards 2030. Under the agreement, ALK will make payments to Catalent over the next 12 months totalling USD 19 million, which will be set against future royalty payments for the use of Catalent's ZydisTM tablet formulation technology.

* In local currencies

Europe

Revenue in Europe was up 14% to DKK 713 million (621). With 21% growth, the tablet portfolio continued to be the main driver of growth, mainly driven by GRAZAX® and ITULAZAX® . This was largely on the back of strong sales in key markets as they recovered from the COVID-led disruption seen in Q1 allowing visits to allergy clinics to return to normal in May and June.

Combined sales of SCIT and SLIT-drops also improved and were unchanged at DKK 267 million (267). In general, clinics across Europe returned to 'business as usual' during the quarter, although in France, sales were affected by the knock-on effect of the Q1 COVID resurgence, which restricted the ability of some allergy patients to visit clinics. This, in turn, reduced the number of new patients initiated onto treatments at the start of the year, and hence, the number of maintenance prescriptions seen in Q2. The distribution and release issue with some of ALK's SCIT venom products has now been resolved and supply is now being re-established.

Sales of other products were up 54% on increased Jext® sales, as replacement rates for Jext® pens returned to normal, while intermittent supply issues for competing products, boosted sales further.

Revenue growth in Europe was once again led by the important markets of Central and Northern Europe, which recorded double-digit sales increases. In Germany, ALK continues to increase its capture rate of new allergy immunotherapy prescriptions.

North America

Revenue in North America was up 19% in local currencies to DKK 217 million (161). Tablet sales increased 19%, driven equally by the USA and Canada.

Meanwhile, sales growth of bulk SCIT was 6% and was also up versus Q1. Sales of other products increased by 35%, as sales of diagnostic products and non-allergy-related life science products grew strongly.

International markets

Revenue from International markets was up 30% to DKK 115 million (86), helped by shipments of SCIT products to China. Tablet revenue was up 5% and was as expected impacted by the phasing of product shipments to Japan. In-market sales growth continued to be strong in the International region's main markets of Japan and China, despite both saw COVID-related lockdowns in Q2. In Japan, this restricted patient access to allergy clinics generally, while in China, the effect was more localised to specific cities. In addition, ALK made an agreement with Torii for the Japanese development and licensing of a skin prick diagnostic test, which resulted in a minor one-off payment to ALK, which has been recognised under 'other products'.

6M FINANCIAL REVIEW

(Comparative figures for 2021 are shown in brackets. Revenue growth rates are stated in local currencies, unless otherwise indicated)

6M revenue increased by 14% in local currencies to DKK 2,200 million (1,889). Exchange rate fluctuations increased reported revenue growth for the first half year by 2 percentage points.

Cost of sales increased 6% in local currencies to DKK 820 million (753). The gross profit of DKK 1,380 million (1,136) yielded an improved gross margin of 63% (60%), mainly reflecting increasing tablet sales and production efficiencies – although the gross margin was reduced somewhat by increased shipments to Torii in Japan, which yield lower gross margins. ALK continues to see significant costs for compliance efforts to secure robustness in product supply, as well as the implementation of the product and site strategy.

Capacity costs increased 11% in local currencies to DKK 1,116 million (979). As planned, R&D expenses

were slightly above the level of 2021, reflecting ongoing clinical trial activities. Sales and marketing expenses increased by 13% in local currencies, and reflected investments in market expansion in China, a generally high activity level including medical events and congresses, and restructuring costs associated with closing down activities in Turkey due to unsustainable market conditions for ALK's product portfolio. Administrative expenses increased mainly due to organisational development activities.

EBITDA (operating profit before depreciation and amortisation) increased 38% in reported currency to DKK 379 million (274), driven by the higher sales and improved gross margin. Exchange rates had only a minor effect on operating profit. ALK's exposure to Russia and Ukraine and the ongoing inflationary pressures remained limited.

Net financials were a gain of DKK 9 million (a loss of 7). Tax on the profit totalled DKK 68 million (45), and net profit increased 93% in reported currencies to DKK 205 million (106).

Cash flow from operating activities was DKK 236 million (211) driven by higher earnings which were partly offset by changes in working capital due to the timing of payments. Cash flow from investment activities was DKK minus 143 million (minus 83), on the build-up of additional capacity for SLIT-tablet production, upgrades to legacy production, and investments for the in-house next generation adrenaline auto-injector, currently in development. Free cash flow was positive at DKK 93 million (128).

Cash flow from financing activities was DKK minus 90 million (minus 225), mainly relating to the repayment of borrowings.

At the end of June, ALK held 2,252,066 of its own shares, or 1.0% of the share capital, versus 1.3% at the end of 2021, and 1.5% at the end of June 2021.

Following the Annual General Meeting in March 2022, ALK completed a share split at a ratio of 1:20, so that each existing share, with a nominal value of DKK 10, was split into 20 new shares with a nominal value of DKK 0.50 each. Following the share split, the company's share capital of DKK 111,411,960 was divided into 18,415,200 A shares, 1,841,520 AA shares and 202,567,200 B shares, each having a nominal value of DKK 0.50.

Equity totalled DKK 3,786 million (3,249) at the end of June, and the equity ratio was 61% (58%).

Outlook for 2022

Based on a strong sales momentum and the outlook for the remainder of the year, ALK has upgraded its full-year outlook:

• Revenue is now expected to grow 10-13% in local currencies (previously: 8-12%) with tablet sales up by 20% or more (previously: approximately 20%) and a stronger than expected performance of the non-tablet portfolio.
• EBITDA is now expected to increase to DKK 675- 750 million (previously: 625-725) primarily on the improved sales outlook.

The updated financial outlook is based on the following assumptions:

Revenue

Revenue growth is expected to be broad-based across all sales regions. The mid-point of the projected revenue range assumes that sales in Europe will now increase by approximately 10% (previously: highsingle digit). Sales growth in North America is still expected at around 10%, and growth in International markets is still expected to exceed 10%.

Tablets remain key to growth, and ALK now expects global sales growth of 20% or more in 2022. In addition, ALK expects mid single-digit growth (previously: low single-digit) from the remaining nontablet portfolio, mainly driven by SCIT products and the adrenaline auto-injector, Jext® .

The higher end of the revenue range assumes continued strong revenue growth, especially in Europe, with tablets leading the way, as well as improved sales of legacy products. The lower end of the range incorporates pricing pressures, particularly in selected markets in Europe, further negative effects from COVID, and/or impact from inabilities to meet market demand for certain legacy products in North America.

Margins

The gross margin is still expected to improve by 1-2 percentage points from 61% in 2021, driven by efficiencies and higher sales – especially from tablets.

Capacity costs

R&D costs are still expected at DKK 650-700 million. Sales and marketing costs are still expected to increase, reflecting investments in current and future growth drivers, including China. The ratio to revenue is still expected to improve versus 2021.

Other assumptions

The outlook assumes that COVID will not affect home-based tablet treatments, and that patients in general will remain able and willing to visit healthcare professionals without significant limitations, although fluctuations may occur in some markets.

• CAPEX is still projected at around DKK 400 million, and free cash flow is now expected to be around DKK zero, influenced by strategic investments and changes in working capital, including timing of payments. The one-off repayment of up to DKK 175 million in accrued rebates, anticipated in the annual report as due for payment in 2022, is now only expected to be paid partially in 2022.
• The impact from the ongoing inflationary pressure on gross margin and capacity costs is projected to be modest in 2022.
• The outlook does not include any revenue from acquisitions, new partnerships or the in-licensing of adjacent products and services, nor does it include any sizeable payments related to M&As or inlicensing activities.
• The outlook is based on current exchange rates, resulting in a positive effect of approximately 2 percentage points on reported revenue growth and an immaterial effect on reported EBITDA.

RISK FACTORS

This interim report contains forward-looking statements, including forecasts of future revenue, operating profit and cash flow, as well as expected business-related events. Such statements are, by their very nature, subject to risks and uncertainties, as various factors, some of which are beyond the control of ALK, may cause actual results and performance to differ materially from the forecasts made in this report. Without being exhaustive, such factors include, e.g., consequences of the global COVID pandemic, general economic and business-related conditions, including: legal issues, uncertainty relating to demand, pricing, reimbursement rules, partners' plans and forecasts, fluctuations in exchange rates, competitive factors and reliance on suppliers. Additional factors include the risks associated with the sourcing and manufacturing of ALK's products as well as the potential for side effects from the use of ALK's existing and future products, as allergy immunotherapy may be associated with allergic reactions of differing extents, durations and severities.
