BIOGEN REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2021 RESULTS

Second quarter revenue $2,775 million; GAAP diluted EPS $2.99;
Non-GAAP diluted EPS $5.68
Received accelerated approval for ADUHELM (aducanumab-avwa) in the U.S. for initiation of treatment in patients with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease
Received FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for lecanemab (BAN2401)
Advancing a diversified neuroscience pipeline with positive readouts in Phase 3 study in depression and Phase 2a study in stroke
New collaborations across multiple modalities including potential oral therapy for all forms of multiple sclerosis
Cambridge, Mass., July 22, 2021 -- Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB) today reported second quarter 2021 financial results.
“We were pleased with our operational performance in the second quarter,” said Michel Vounatsos, Biogen’s Chief Executive Officer. “Biogen has the market-leading portfolio of therapies for MS, has launched the first approved and market-leading therapy for SMA, and now has the first approved therapy to address a defining pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, we recently reported positive data in depression and stroke, and we look forward to the expected Phase 3 data for tofersen, the first genetically-targeted potential therapy for ALS, for which we have begun offering individual compassionate use access.”
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Second quarter total revenue of $2,775 million decreased 25% versus the prior year at actual currency and decreased 26% at constant currency*.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) revenue, including royalties on sales of OCREVUS®, of $1,786 million decreased 24% versus the prior year at both actual and constant currency.
SPINRAZA® revenue of $500 million increased 1% versus the prior year at actual currency and decreased 3% at constant currency.
ADUHELM™ revenue was $2 million.
Biosimilars revenue of $202 million increased 18% versus the prior year at actual currency and increased 9% at constant currency.
Other revenue of $99 million decreased 76% versus the prior year at both actual and constant currency, primarily due to approximately $330 million in revenue in the second quarter of 2020 related to the license of certain manufacturing-related intellectual property to one of our corporate partners.
Second quarter GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Biogen Inc. were $448 million and $2.99, respectively.
1


Second quarter Non-GAAP net income and diluted EPS attributable to Biogen Inc. were $852 million and $5.68, respectively.
A reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP financial measures included in this news release can be found in Table 4 at the end of this news release.
* Percentage changes in revenue growth at constant currency are presented excluding the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and hedging gains or losses. The current period’s foreign currency revenue values are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from the prior period.
Second quarter 2021 cost of sales, R&D, and SG&A were:
(In millions)Q2 '21Q2 '20Q2 '21 v.
Q2 '20
GAAP cost of sales$460 $411 (12%)
Non-GAAP cost of sales$460 $411 (12%)
GAAP R&D$585 $648 10%
Non-GAAP R&D$585 $648 10%
GAAP SG&A$637 $555 (15%)
Non-GAAP SG&A$635 $555 (14%)
Note: Percent changes represented as favorable/(unfavorable)

Beginning in the second quarter of 2021 material upfront payments and premiums paid on the acquisition of common stock associated with significant collaboration and licensing arrangements along with the related transaction costs incurred are no longer excluded from Non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses. Non-GAAP financial results for the second quarter of 2020 have been updated to reflect the $208 million payment related to the collaboration with Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. along with the associated transaction costs and income tax effect.
Second quarter 2021 GAAP and Non-GAAP R&D expense includes a $30 million upfront payment related to a commercialization and license agreement with Bio-Thera Solutions, Ltd. (Bio-Thera) in addition to $20 million in upfront payments related to collaboration agreements with Capsigen Inc. (Capsigen) and Ginkgo Bioworks (Ginkgo).
Second quarter 2021 GAAP amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets was $604 million, including an impairment charge of approximately $350 million related to BIIB111 (timrepigene emparvovec) in choroideremia and a $192 million impairment charge related to BIIB112 (cotoretigene toliparvovec) in X-linked retinitis pigmentosa, both of which were based on recent data readouts. These amounts are excluded from Non-GAAP financial results.
Second quarter 2021 GAAP and Non-GAAP collaboration profit sharing reduced our net operating expenses by $15 million, which includes a reimbursement of $85 million from Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai) related to the commercialization of ADUHELM in the U.S.
Second quarter 2021 GAAP other income was $96 million, primarily driven by unrealized gains on our strategic equity investments of $154 million. Second quarter 2021 Non-GAAP other expense was $58 million, primarily driven by interest expense.
Second quarter 2021 effective GAAP and Non-GAAP tax rates were (70%) and 16%, respectively. The second quarter 2021 effective GAAP tax rate was impacted by a deferred tax benefit associated with the accelerated approval of ADUHELM by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $500 million related to Neurimmune SubOne AG’s
2


(Neurimmune) tax basis in ADUHELM, with an equal and offsetting amount assigned to noncontrolling interest, resulting in zero net impact to net income attributable to Biogen Inc.
Second quarter 2021 GAAP and Non-GAAP income attributable to noncontrolling interest were $577 million and $84 million, respectively, which includes a milestone payment of $100 million to Neurimmune related to the launch of ADUHELM in the U.S. GAAP income attributable to noncontrolling interest also includes the offset to a deferred tax benefit related to Neurimmune’s tax basis in ADUHELM of approximately $500 million.
Financial Position
As of June 30, 2021, Biogen had $7,269 million in total debt. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $3,966 million. This resulted in net debt of $3,303 million.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock for a total value of $450 million. As of June 30, 2021, there was $3,550 million remaining under the share repurchase program authorized in October 2020.
For the second quarter of 2021 the Company’s weighted average diluted shares were 150 million.
Second quarter 2021 cash from operations was $1,227 million. Capital expenditures were $72 million, and free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, was $1,155 million.
Full Year 2021 Financial Guidance
For the full year 2021, Biogen is updating its guidance ranges as follows:
Prior GuidanceUpdated Guidance
Total revenue$10.45 to $10.75 billion$10.65 to $10.85 billion
Non-GAAP diluted EPS$17.50 to $19.00$17.50 to $19.00
Capital expenditures$375 to $425 million$375 to $425 million
This financial guidance continues to assume modest ADUHELM revenue in 2021, ramping thereafter. This guidance also continues to assume erosion of TECFIDERA® and RITUXAN® in the U.S. Biogen expects the decreased revenue from these high margin products to reduce its gross margin percentage compared to 2020.
Non-GAAP R&D expense is expected to be between $2.45 billion and $2.55 billion, an increase from prior guidance primarily due to an expected $125 million upfront payment in the third quarter of 2021 associated with our recently announced collaboration with InnoCare Pharma Limited (InnoCare). This payment was not included in our prior guidance. Non-GAAP SG&A expense is expected to be between $2.6 billion and $2.7 billion, consistent with our previous guidance. This guidance continues to reflect our expectation that both Non-GAAP R&D and Non-GAAP SG&A expenses will be higher in the second half of the year than they were in the first half due to collaborations, program readouts, and investments in ADUHELM.
We expect that we will utilize a portion of the remaining share repurchase authorization of $3,550 million throughout 2021.
This guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2021, will remain in effect for the remainder of the year, net of hedging activities.
3


With the exception of the proposed InnoCare collaboration, as described above, this financial guidance does not include any impact from potential acquisitions or large business development transactions, as both are hard to predict, or any impact of potential tax or healthcare reform.
Biogen may incur charges, realize gains or losses, or experience other events or circumstances in 2021 that could cause any of these assumptions to change and/or actual results to vary from this financial guidance.
Biogen does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) or a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of items such as the transaction, integration, and certain other costs related to acquisitions or large business development transactions; unusual gains and losses; potential future asset impairments; gains and losses from our equity security investments; and the ultimate outcome of pending significant litigation without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
Aducanumab Updates
In July 2021 Biogen submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for aducanumab to the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Health and Prevention under its Fast Track Process. This follows the submission of MAAs in South Korea and Mexico in June 2021 and Israel in July 2021.
In July 2021 the last patient was enrolled in the aducanumab re-dosing study, EMBARK (n = 1,695). EMBARK was initiated in March 2020 and is designed to evaluate aducanumab in eligible Alzheimer’s disease patients who were actively enrolled in aducanumab studies (PRIME, EVOLVE, EMERGE, and ENGAGE) in March 2019.
In July 2021 Biogen and Eisai announced the FDA approved an updated label for ADUHELM injection 100 mg/mL solution to emphasize the disease stages studied in the clinical trials.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen announced that the FDA granted accelerated approval for ADUHELM as the first and only Alzheimer’s disease treatment to address a defining pathology of the disease by reducing amyloid beta plaques in the brain.
Board of Director Updates
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen announced that Robert W. Pangia, who served as a Biogen director since 1997, retired from the Company’s Board of Directors, effective at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. Maria C. Freire, Ph.D. and William D. Jones were elected as new members of the Board of Directors at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.
Other Recent Events
In July 2021 the last participant received their final dose in the Phase 3 VALOR study of tofersen (SOD1 ASO) in adults with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with a confirmed SOD1 mutation. Biogen has begun offering individual compassionate use access to tofersen for a subset of the SOD1-ALS population with the most rapidly progressive disease.
In July 2021 Biogen and InnoCare announced that they have entered into a license and collaboration agreement for orelabrutinib, an oral small molecule Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) for the potential treatment of MS. Orelabrutinib is a covalent BTKi with high selectivity and the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, and is currently being studied in a multi-country, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial in relapsing-remitting MS. InnoCare will receive a $125 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $812.5 million in potential development milestones and potential commercial
4


payments should the collaboration achieve certain development and commercial milestones and sales thresholds. InnoCare is also eligible to receive tiered royalties in the low to high teens on potential future net sales of any product resulting from the collaboration. Closing of the collaboration is contingent on completion of review under antitrust laws, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 in the U.S., and other customary closing conditions.
In the second quarter of 2021 Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. and Biogen announced that the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use adopted a positive opinion for BYOOVIZ™, a biosimilar candidate referencing Lucentis® (ranibizumab), also known as SB11.
In the second quarter of 2021 Eisai and Biogen announced that the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for lecanemab (BAN2401), an investigational anti-amyloid beta antibody for the potential treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Breakthrough Therapy designation is an FDA program intended to expedite the development and review of medicines for serious or life-threatening conditions. The benefits of a Breakthrough Therapy designation include more intensive guidance on an efficient development program as well as eligibility for rolling review and potentially priority review.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen announced that the first patient had been dosed in the global clinical study, TOPAZ-1, evaluating the clinical efficacy and assessing the safety of BIIB059, a first in-class, humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting blood dendritic cell antigen 2, as compared to placebo, in participants with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). TOPAZ-1 is expected to be conducted at approximately 135 sites worldwide and aims to enroll 540 adults with active SLE.
In the second quarter of 2021 Sage Therapeutics, Inc. and Biogen announced that the WATERFALL Study in patients with major depression disorder met its primary endpoint with zuranolone (SAGE-217/BIIB125) 50 mg showing statistically significant improvement in depressive symptoms compared with placebo at Day 15 as assessed by the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen announced new research supporting the continued development of an investigational higher dose of SPINRAZA and additional data reinforcing the strength of SPINRAZA’s clinical profile in improving the lives of individuals with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) over the long term. These data were presented at the virtual Cure SMA Research & Clinical Care Meeting.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen and Bio-Thera announced results from the Phase 3 study of BAT1806, a proposed biosimilar referencing ACTEMRA®/RoACTEMRA® (tocilizumab). The study met its primary endpoints, demonstrating equivalence to the reference medicine in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis inadequately controlled by methotrexate therapy. In April 2021 Biogen and Bio-Thera announced that they entered into a commercialization and license agreement to develop, manufacture, and commercialize BAT1806.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen and Ginkgo announced a gene therapy collaboration. Together, the companies aim to redefine the industry standard for manufacturing recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based vectors. Recombinant AAV-based vectors are widely used to develop innovative gene therapies and have the potential to treat certain neurological and neuromuscular diseases as well as other conditions across multiple therapeutic areas.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen and Envisagenics announced a new collaboration to advance ribonucleic acid (RNA) splicing research within central nervous system (CNS) diseases. As part of the collaboration, Biogen will leverage Envisagenics’ proprietary artificial intelligence-driven RNA splicing platform, SpliceCore®, to define and understand the regulation of different RNA isoforms in CNS cell types.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen and TMS Co., Ltd. (TMS) announced that Biogen exercised its option to acquire TMS-007 (BIIB131), an investigational drug for acute ischemic stroke, from TMS.
5


Biogen’s decision to acquire TMS-007 was based on positive data from a Phase 2a study, which met its primary safety objective with no incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and demonstrated positive impacts on both blood vessel reopening in the brain as well as patient functional recovery at 90 days. Biogen incurred a one-time $18 million expense as part of the acquisition of TMS-007.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen and Capsigen announced that they entered into a strategic research collaboration to engineer novel AAV capsids that have the potential to deliver transformative gene therapies that address the underlying genetic causes of various CNS and neuromuscular disorders. Capsigen received a $15 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $42 million in potential research milestones and up to an additional $1.25 billion in potential development and commercial payments should the collaboration programs achieve certain developmental milestones and sales thresholds. Capsigen is also eligible to receive royalties on future net sales of products that incorporate capsids resulting from the collaboration.
In the second quarter of 2021 Biogen announced that it received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from the FDA for its supplemental Biologic License Application for a new subcutaneous route of administration of TYSABRI® to treat relapsing MS. The CRL indicates that the FDA is unable to approve the Company’s filing as submitted. Biogen is evaluating the CRL and will determine next steps in the U.S.
Conference Call and Webcast

Notes to GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
A For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets totaled $604.1 million and $702.2 million, respectively, compared to $61.5 million and $133.0 million, respectively, in the prior year comparative periods.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets reflects a $350.0 million impairment charge related to BIIB111 (timrepigene emparvovec) for the potential treatment of choroideremia and a $191.6 million impairment charge related to BIIB112 (cotoretigene toliparvovec) for the potential treatment of X-linked retinitis pigmentosa.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets also reflects a $44.3 million impairment charge related to vixotrigine (BIIB074) for the potential treatment of trigeminal neuralgia (TGN). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we had no impairment charges.
During the second quarter of 2021 we announced that our Phase 3 STAR study of BIIB111 did not meet its primary or key secondary endpoints. We reassessed the fair value of the program based on the results of this study and recognized an impairment charge of $350.0 million during the second quarter of 2021, which resulted in a reduction of the in-process research and development (IPR&D) asset from $365.0 million to $15.0 million.
During the second quarter of 2021 we announced that our Phase 2/3 XIRIUS study of BIIB112 did not meet its primary endpoint; however, positive trends were observed across several clinically relevant prespecified secondary endpoints. We reassessed the fair value of the program based on the results of this study and recognized an impairment charge of $191.6 million during the second quarter of 2021, which resulted in a reduction of the IPR&D asset from $220.0 million to $28.4 million.
B For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020, we recorded a current year deferred tax benefit associated with the accelerated approval of ADUHELM by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the U.S. We recorded approximately $500.0 million in a deferred tax asset related to Neurimmune SubOne AG's tax basis in ADUHELM, the realization of which is dependent on future sales of ADUHELM and approval of the Swiss cantonal tax authorities, with an equal and offsetting amount assigned to noncontrolling interest, resulting in zero net impact to net income attributable to Biogen Inc.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We supplement our GAAP consolidated financial statements and GAAP financial measures with other financial measures, such as adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, revenue growth at constant currency, which excludes the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and hedging gains or losses, and free cash flow, which is defined as net flow from operations less capital expenditures. We believe that these and other Non-GAAP financial measures provide additional insight into the ongoing economics of our business and reflect how we manage our business internally, set operational goals and form the basis of our management incentive programs. Non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our “Non-GAAP net income attributable to Biogen Inc.” and “Non-GAAP earnings per share - Diluted” financial measures exclude the following items from “GAAP net income attributable to Biogen Inc.” and “GAAP earnings per share - Diluted”:
1. Acquisitions and divestitures
We exclude transaction, integration and certain other costs related to the acquisition and divestiture of businesses, the acquisitions of assets and items associated with the initial consolidation or deconsolidation of variable interest entities. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, charges for in-process research and development and certain milestones, the amortization and impairment of intangible assets, charges or credits from the fair value remeasurement of our contingent consideration obligations and losses on assets and liabilities held for sale.
2. Restructuring, business transformation and other cost saving initiatives
We exclude costs associated with our execution of certain strategies and initiatives to streamline operations, achieve targeted cost reductions, rationalize manufacturing facilities or refocus research and development activities. These costs may include employee separation costs, retention bonuses, facility closing and exit costs, asset impairment charges or additional depreciation when the expected useful life of certain assets have been shortened due to changes in anticipated usage and other costs or credits that management believes do not have a direct correlation to our ongoing or future business operations.
3. (Gain) loss on equity security investments
We exclude unrealized and realized gains and losses and discounts or premiums on our equity security investments as we do not believe that these components of income or expense have a direct correlation to our ongoing or future business operations.
4. Other items
We evaluate other items of income and expense 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 Inc. and earnings per share - diluted.
