WESTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Biogen Idec Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB) today reported first quarter 2013 total revenues of $1.4 billion, an increase of 10% compared to the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2013 were $1.97, an increase of 41% over the first quarter of 2012. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Biogen Idec for the first quarter 2013 was $469 million, an increase of 39% versus the first quarter of 2012.
First quarter 2013 GAAP diluted EPS were $1.79, an increase of 43% versus the first quarter of 2012. GAAP net income for the first quarter was $427 million, an increase of 41% versus the first quarter of 2012. A reconciliation of our GAAP to Non-GAAP results is attached to this press release.
Revenue gains were led by the performance of our marketed therapies: AVONEX® (interferon beta-1a) with revenues increasing 13% year-over-year to $746 million; and TYSABRI® (natalizumab) with revenues increasing 9% year-over-year to $312 million. RITUXAN® (rituximab) revenues from our unconsolidated joint business arrangement were $265 million for the quarter, a decrease of 7% from the prior year.
“2013 is off to an exciting start for Biogen Idec and the patients we serve,” said George A. Scangos, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer. “We achieved several milestones that expand our leadership in supporting people living with MS, including the launch of TECFIDERATM (dimethyl fumarate) in the US, acquisition of full rights and control of TYSABRI and a positive phase 3 trial for PLEGRIDYTM (Peginterferon beta-1a) in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.”
“We also are preparing for the potential launches in 2014 of our long-lasting clotting factor therapies for hemophilia, rFVIIIFc and rFIXFc,” he continued. “We believe these therapies have the potential to transform the standard of care for hemophilia patients around the world. Our entire organization is aligned behind our focused mission and executing well in every aspect of the business – from launching new products to advancing our deep early-stage pipeline.”
Other Financial Highlights
- During the first quarter of 2013, we received updated technical guidance from the IRS concerning our U.S. federal manufacturing deduction related to our unconsolidated joint business. Based on this guidance, we reevaluated our manufacturing deduction and recorded a $33 million benefit, which is net of ancillary federal and state tax effects, related to the years 2005 through 2012, in the first quarter of 2013. We also experienced modest favorability due to the reinstatement of the federal R&D tax credit and the award of a state life science tax credit. As a result, Biogen Idec benefited from low GAAP and non-GAAP tax rates of 13.2% and 14.0%, respectively. These unusually low tax rates benefited our non-GAAP EPS by approximately $0.17 and GAAP EPS by approximately $0.16.
- Our share of RITUXAN revenues from our unconsolidated joint business was reduced by approximately $42 million during the first quarter of 2013 as a result of damages awarded against Genentech in its arbitration with Hoechst GmbH.
- Revenues for FAMPYRA® and FUMADERM™ totaled $38 million in the first quarter of 2013, compared to $28 million in the first quarter of 2012.
- Royalties were $33 million in the first quarter of 2013, an increase of 14% compared to the first quarter of 2012.
- Corporate partner revenues in the first quarter of 2013 were $22 million, compared to $3 million in the first quarter of 2012.
- As of March 31, 2013, Biogen Idec had Cash, Cash Equivalents and a Reverse Repurchase Agreement totaling approximately $3.6 billion, of which we used $3.25 billion to fund our acquisition of TYSABRI rights from Elan on April 2, 2013.
- On April 17, 2013, Standard & Poor’s raised Biogen Idec’s credit rating to A- from BBB+ reflecting the launch of TECFIDERA, greater TYSABRI revenue due to the close of the transaction with Elan, low leverage and strong and growing cash flow generation.
2013 Financial Guidance
Biogen Idec updated its full year 2013 financial guidance. This guidance consists of the following components:
- Revenue growth is expected to be approximately 16% to 18%.

- SG&A expense is expected to be approximately 24% to 26% of total revenue.
- Tax expense is expected to be approximately 22% to 23% of pretax income.
- Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be between $7.80 and $7.90.
- GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be between $6.69 and $6.79.
- Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $250 to $270 million.
- Company anticipates an ending 2013 cash balance greater than $1 billion, of which the majority will be located in the U.S.
Biogen Idec may incur charges, realize gains or experience other events in 2013 that could cause actual results to vary from this guidance.
“In the first quarter, we continued to drive solid performance while making substantial progress moving our late-stage programs towards approvals and launch,” said Paul J. Clancy, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Notably, we delivered solid EPS growth, continued to make disciplined R&D investments, focused on building our MS franchise, and were able to increase our outlook for the year. We expect to continue our strong performance throughout 2013.”
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Franchise Highlights
TECFIDERA (dimethyl fumarate)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approved TECFIDERA on March 27, 2013, as a new first-line oral treatment for people living with relapsing forms of MS. TECFIDERA is now available to MS patients across the United States.
On March 22, 2013, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued a positive opinion recommending that the European Commission (EC) provide marketing authorization for TECFIDERA in the European Union as a first-line oral treatment for adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The EC decision on TECFIDERA is expected in the second quarter of 2013.
On March 19, 2013, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a patent for the TECFIDERA dosing regimen of 480 mg daily. This patent, which expires in 2028, adds to the growing portfolio of patents covering TECFIDERA. The European Patent Office also recently determined that Biogen Idec’s application for a patent covering the same dosing regimen of TECFIDERA is allowable. Once granted, this patent would also expire in 2028.
TYSABRI (natalizumab)
TYSABRI revenues increased 9% year-over-year to $312 million. Global in-market sales of TYSABRI in the first quarter of 2013 were $456 million, an increase of 15% over the first quarter of 2012. The total was comprised of $257 million in U.S. sales and $199 million in sales outside the U.S.
On April 2, 2013, Biogen Idec completed its purchase of Elan’s interest in TYSABRI and gained full strategic, commercial and decision-making rights to the product. Biogen Idec used its cash resources to make a payment of $3.25 billion to Elan. Subject to the terms of the agreement with Elan, the Company and Elan will continue to share TYSABRI profits equally through April 30, 2013. Commencing May 1, 2013 and for the first twelve months thereafter, the Company will make future contingent payments to Elan in an amount equal to 12% of global net sales of TYSABRI, and thereafter, Biogen Idec will continue to make contingent payments of 18% on annual global net sales of TYSABRI up to $2.0 billion and 25% on annual global net sales that exceed $2.0 billion. In 2014 only, the $2.0 billion threshold will be pro-rated for the portion of 2014 remaining after the completion of the first twelve months of contingent payments.
On March 18, 2013, Biogen Idec and Elan announced results from several studies of TYSABRI that demonstrate its efficacy compared to other MS treatments, provide additional data supporting anti-JC virus (JCV) antibody status stability, and suggest better outcomes when progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is detected early. These data were presented at the 65th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) held in San Diego, CA in March 2013.
Based on data available to us through the TOUCH® prescribing program and other third-party sources, as of the end of March 2013, the Company estimates that approximately 73,600 patients were on commercial and clinical TYSABRI therapy worldwide, and that cumulatively, approximately 115,400 patients have been treated with TYSABRI in the post-marketing setting.
AVONEX (interferon beta-1a)
AVONEX revenues increased 13% year-over-year to $746 million. AVONEX remains one of the most prescribed treatments for relapsing forms of MS worldwide and continued to gain market share during the first quarter within the injectable segment of the MS market place. The AVONEX PEN® auto-injector, a dosing innovation designed to improve the treatment experience for patients receiving once-a-week AVONEX, has now been commercially launched in 27 countries.
Additional Pipeline Development Highlights
During the first quarter Biogen Idec achieved a number of milestones toward the development of its hemophilia program:
- In March 2013, Biogen Idec submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for the marketing approval of recombinant factor VIII Fc fusion protein (rFVIIIFc) for the treatment of hemophilia A. Recombinant FVIIIFc is the first hemophilia A product candidate in a new class of long-lasting clotting factor therapies being developed with the goal of reducing the burden of treatment for this condition.
- On March 4, 2013, Biogen Idec announced that the FDA accepted the Company’s BLA for the marketing approval of recombinant factor IX Fc fusion protein (rFIXFc) for the treatment of hemophilia B and granted the Company a standard review timeline.
- On February 8, 2013, Biogen Idec and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum (Sobi) released data at the 6th Annual Congress of the European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders (EAHAD) in Warsaw, Poland. Data presented confirmed the ability of investigational rFVIIIFc and rFIXFc to provide long-lasting protection from bleeding with fewer injections than are required with the current standard of care for people with hemophilia.
On January 24, 2013, Biogen Idec announced positive, full first-year results from its two-year pivotal Phase 3 ADVANCE study of PLEGRIDY, the Company’s investigational candidate for RRMS. If approved, PLEGRIDY will be dosed once every two weeks and we believe has the potential to be a preferred option in the injectable class of MS treatments. We will be submitting our regulatory applications to the FDA and EMA by mid-2013, for potential approval in 2014.
During March 16 through March 23, 2013, Biogen Idec presented more than 50 company-sponsored platform and poster presentations on data supporting its multiple-marketed and pipeline therapies for neurological diseases at the AAN Annual Meeting in San Diego. Biogen Idec presented notable data on several programs including: TECFIDERA, TYSABRI, AVONEX, PLEGRIDY, daclizumab high-yield process, and anti-LINGO.
On April 4, 2013, Biogen Idec announced results from the daclizumab high-yield process (DAC HYP) SELECT clinical trial were published in an on-line article in The Lancet. SELECT was a Phase 2b registrational study designed to determine the efficacy and safety of DAC HYP in patients with RRMS.

About AVONEX
AVONEX is one of the most prescribed treatments for relapsing forms of MS worldwide. AVONEX is indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of MS to slow the accumulation of physical disability and decrease the frequency of clinical exacerbations. Patients with MS in whom efficacy has been demonstrated include patients who have experienced a first clinical episode and have MRI features consistent with MS.
Symptoms of depression, suicidal ideation, or psychosis, and cases of suicide, have been reported with increased frequency with patients receiving AVONEX. Severe hepatic injury, including cases of hepatic failure has been reported rarely in patients. Rare cases of anaphylaxis have been reported. While beta interferons do not have any known direct cardiac toxicity, cases of congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and cardiomyopathy with congestive heart failure have been reported in patients without known predisposition. Decreased peripheral blood counts have been reported from postmarketing experience. Seizures have been reported in patients using AVONEX, including patients with no prior history of seizure. Autoimmune disorders of multiple target organs have been reported. Routine periodic blood chemistry, hematology, liver function, and thyroid function tests are recommended. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. AVONEX should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. The most common side effects associated with AVONEX treatment are flu-like symptoms, including chills, fever, myalgia, and asthenia.

About TYSABRI
TYSABRI is approved in more than 65 countries. TYSABRI is approved in the United States as a monotherapy for relapsing forms of MS, generally for patients who have had an inadequate response to, or are unable to tolerate, an alternative MS therapy due to the risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). In the European Union, it is approved for highly active RRMS in adult patients who have failed to respond to beta interferon or have rapidly evolving, severe RRMS.
TYSABRI has advanced the treatment of MS patients with its established efficacy. Data from the Phase 3 AFFIRM trial, which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that after two years, TYSABRI treatment led to a 68 percent relative reduction (p<0.001) in the annualized relapse rate when compared with placebo and reduced the relative risk of disability progression by 42-54 percent (p<0.001).
TYSABRI increases the risk of PML, an opportunistic viral infection of the brain which usually leads to death or severe disability. Infection by the JC virus (JCV) is required for the development of PML and patients who are anti-JCV antibody positive have a higher risk of developing PML. Factors that increase the risk of PML are presence of anti-JCV antibodies, prior immunosuppressant use, and longer TYSABRI treatment duration. Patients who have all three risk factors have the highest risk of developing PML. Other serious adverse events that have occurred in TYSABRI-treated patients include hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis) and infections, including opportunistic and other atypical infections. Clinically significant liver injury has also been reported in the post-marketing setting. A list of adverse events can be found in the full TYSABRI product labeling for each country where it is approved.

About TECFIDERA
TECFIDERA delayed-release capsules are indicated for the treatment of patients with relapsing forms of MS. TECFIDERA has been proven to reduce MS relapses, progression of disability and MS brain lesions. The efficacy and safety of TECFIDERA has been studied in a large, global clinical program with more than 3,600 MS patients, which includes an ongoing long-term extension study. It is believed that TECFIDERA provides a new approach to treating MS by activating the Nrf2 pathway, although its exact mechanism of action is unknown. This pathway provides a way for cells in the body to defend themselves against inflammation and oxidative stress caused by conditions like MS.
The most common adverse reactions for TECFIDERA were flushing, mostly mild to moderate in nature, and GI events (i.e., diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain). These events are most common at the start of therapy and usually decrease over time.
TECFIDERA may decrease lymphocyte counts. Before starting treatment with TECFIDERA, a recent CBC (i.e., within six months) should be available. A CBC is recommended annually and as clinically indicated.
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. TECFIDERA should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis by providing additional measures which may be considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable SEC rules. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional insight into the ongoing economics of our business and reflects how we manage our business internally, set operational goals and forms the basis of our management incentive programs. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and should not be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for reported, or GAAP, net income attributable to Biogen Idec Inc. and diluted earnings per share.
Our “Non-GAAP net income attributable to Biogen Idec Inc.” and “Non-GAAP earnings per share - Diluted” financial measures exclude the following items from GAAP net income attributable to Biogen Idec Inc. and diluted earnings per share:
1. Purchase accounting and merger-related adjustments.
We exclude certain purchase accounting related items associated with the acquistion of businesses, assets and amounts in relation to the consolidation of variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. These adjustments include charges for in-process research and development, the amortization of certain acquired intangible assets and adjustments to the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations. The exclusion of these charges provides management and investors with a supplemental measure of performance which the Company believes better reflects the underlying economics of the business.
2. Stock option expense recorded in accordance with the accounting standard for share-based payments.
We believe that excluding the impact of expensing stock options better reflects the recurring economic characteristics of our business.
3. Other items.
We evaluate other items on an individual basis, and consider both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including (i) its size and nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to our ongoing business operations, and (iii) whether or not we expect it to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. We also include an adjustment to reflect the related tax effect of all reconciling items within our reconciliation of our GAAP to Non-GAAP net income attributable to Biogen Idec Inc.
Numbers may not foot due to rounding.
