DUBLIN, Aug. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2015 and reaffirmed financial guidance for 2015.

"Our second quarter results reflect strong top- and bottom-line growth, strong margins, and continued investment in our commercial and R&D portfolios to support our long-term growth strategy," said Bruce C. Cozadd, chairman and chief executive officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc. "We made significant progress toward this year's research and development goals with the completion of the rolling NDA submission for defibrotide and the initiation of enrollment in our Phase 3 program to evaluate the role of JZP-110 in the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea."

Adjusted net income attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc for the second quarter of 2015 was $152.2 million, or $2.41 per diluted share, compared to $125.9 million, or $2.02 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014.

GAAP net income attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc for the second quarter of 2015 was $88.1 million, or $1.40 per diluted share, compared to $43.7 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. Reconciliations of applicable GAAP reported to non-GAAP adjusted information are included in this press release.

Second Quarter 2015 Revenues and Product Sales

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2015 were $333.7 million, an increase of 15% over total revenues of $291.2 million for the second quarter of 2014. The increase in total revenues was driven by higher net product sales of Xyrem® (sodium oxybate) oral solution. Total revenues include net product sales, royalties and contract revenues.

Net product sales for the second quarter of 2015 were as follows:


    --  Xyrem: Xyrem net sales increased by 30% to $247.8 million in the second
        quarter of 2015 compared to $191.4 million in the second quarter of
        2014. During the second quarter of 2015, the average number of active
        Xyrem patients in the U.S. increased to approximately 12,475.
    --  Erwinaze®/Erwinase® (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi):
        Erwinaze/Erwinase net sales were $46.2 million in the second quarter of
        2015 compared to $47.9 million in the second quarter of 2014. Net sales
        decreased primarily due to increased chargebacks and rebates. Product
        demand increased slightly compared to the second quarter of 2014.
    --  Defitelio® (defibrotide): Defitelio/defibrotide net sales were $15.3
        million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $20.2 million in the
        second quarter of 2014. Net sales decreased by 25% primarily due to the
        impact of foreign exchange rates on sales made in euro and the
        discontinuation of the cost recovery program in the U.S. in July 2014.
    --  Prialt® (ziconotide) intrathecal infusion: Prialt net sales were $7.1
        million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $5.8 million in the
        second quarter of 2014.
    --  Psychiatry products: Net sales of the company's psychiatry products were
        $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared to $11.7 million in
        the second quarter of 2014.
    --  Other: Net sales of other products in the second quarter of 2015 were
        $6.3 million compared to $12.1 million in the second quarter of 2014. In
        March 2015, the company completed the sale of certain products and the
        related business that the company acquired as part of the acquisition of
        EUSA Pharma Inc. (EUSA Pharma) in 2012.

Tables showing actual net product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and pro forma net product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are included in this press release.

Operating Expenses and Other

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were $180.4 million compared to $216.9 million for the second quarter of 2014. Operating expenses decreased primarily due to an intangible asset impairment charge of $32.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2014. The impairment charge was related to certain products acquired as part of the acquisition of EUSA Pharma that were subsequently sold in March 2015.

Other changes in operating expenses for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014 were as follows:


    --  Cost of product sales for the second quarter of 2015 was $21.8 million
        compared to $30.7 million for the same period in 2014. The decrease was
        primarily due to a change in product mix and, to a lesser extent,
        acquisition accounting inventory fair value step-up adjustments of $2.5
        million in the second quarter of 2014, which were partially offset by an
        increase in net product sales. Gross margin for the second quarter of
        2015 was 93.4% compared to 89.4% for the same period in 2014. The
        increase was primarily due to a change in product mix.
    --  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second
        quarter of 2015 were $107.1 million on a GAAP basis compared to $100.6
        million for the same period in 2014. Adjusted SG&A expenses for the
        second quarter of 2015 were $88.5 million, or 27% of total revenues,
        compared to $81.7 million, or 28% of total revenues, for the same period
        in 2014. The increase in both GAAP and adjusted SG&A expenses was
        primarily due to higher headcount and other expenses resulting from the
        expansion of the company's business. The increase in SG&A expenses on a
        GAAP basis was partially offset by a decrease in transaction and
        integration costs.
    --  Research and development (R&D) expenses for the second quarter of 2015
        were $27.8 million on a GAAP basis compared to $20.1 million for the
        same period in 2014. Adjusted R&D expenses for the second quarter of
        2015 were $24.0 million, or 7% of total revenues, compared to $16.8
        million, or 6% of total revenues, for the same period in 2014. The
        increase in both GAAP and adjusted R&D expenses was primarily driven by
        increased costs for the development of the company's product candidates
        and life cycle management activities related to the company's existing
        products, including expenses related to the completed rolling new drug
        application (NDA) submission in the U.S. for defibrotide for the
        treatment of hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) with evidence of
        multi-organ dysfunction following hematopoietic stem cell
        transplantation (HSCT).

Net interest expense for the second quarter of 2015 was $15.8 million compared to $11.4 million for the second quarter of 2014. The increase was due to the company's higher debt levels, primarily due to the sale in August 2014 of $575.0 million principal amount of 1.875% exchangeable senior notes due 2021.

As of June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents were $921.6 million and the outstanding principal balance of the company's long-term debt was $1.5 billion. Cash and cash equivalents increased from December 31, 2014 primarily due to cash generated by the business. In June 2015, the company refinanced its existing term loans and revolving credit facility and recorded a loss on extinguishment and modification of debt of $16.8 million. The company reduced its term loan facility from $893.1 million to $750.0 million and increased its borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility from $425.0 million to $750.0 million. The company also moved to a more favorable interest rate while extending the maturities of the term loan and revolving credit facility from June 2018 and June 2017, respectively, to June 2020 for both the term loan and credit facility. As of June 30, 2015, the company had drawn down $160.0 million under the revolving credit facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the company repurchased 0.1 million ordinary shares under its share repurchase program for $11.7 million at an average cost of $165.05 per ordinary share. As of June 30, 2015, the amount remaining under the current share repurchase program was $9.7 million.

Recent Developments

The company completed the rolling submission of the NDA for defibrotide to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 31, 2015 and has requested a priority review under the Fast Track designation for defibrotide. Defibrotide has been evaluated for the treatment of patients with VOD with evidence of multi-organ dysfunction following HSCT.

In late July 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued decisions instituting inter partes review (IPR) trials with respect to six of the company's patents related to the distribution system for Xyrem. The PTAB decisions instituting review were issued in connection with petitions for IPR filed in January 2015 by Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC and Par Pharmaceutical, Inc. The company expects the PTAB to issue final decisions on the validity of these patents in approximately 12 months.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Jazz Pharmaceuticals' financial results and guidance presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company uses certain non-GAAP (also referred to as adjusted or non-GAAP adjusted) financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables. The company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures is helpful in understanding its past financial performance and potential future results, particularly in light of the effect of various acquisition and divestiture transactions effected by the company. They are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Jazz Pharmaceuticals' management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. Compensation of executives is based in part on the performance of the company's business based on certain of these non-GAAP financial measures. In addition, Jazz Pharmaceuticals believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is useful to investors because it enhances the ability of investors to compare the company's results from period to period and allows for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics the company uses in making operating decisions, and also because the company's investors and analysts regularly use them to model and track the company's financial performance.

Investors should note that these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; and the company has ceased, and may in the future cease, to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. In this regard, commencing with the company's presentation of 2015 non-GAAP financial measures, the company no longer includes an adjustment for depreciation expense in its non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. Likewise, for purposes of comparability, non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for 2014 included in this press release and accompanying tables do not include an adjustment for depreciation expense. Because of the non-standardized definitions of non-GAAP financial measures, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals in this press release and the accompanying tables may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by the company's competitors and other companies.

As used in this press release, (i) the historical adjusted net income measures attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (and the related per share measures) exclude from GAAP reported net income (loss) attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (and the related per share measures), as applicable, intangible asset amortization, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, transaction and integration costs, acquired in-process research and development expenses, impairment charges, acquisition accounting inventory fair value step-up adjustments, non-cash interest expense and loss on extinguishment and modification of debt; adjust the income tax provision to the estimated amount of taxes that are payable in cash; and adjust for the amount attributable to noncontrolling interests; (ii) the historical adjusted SG&A expense measures exclude from GAAP SG&A expenses, as applicable, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, and transaction and integration costs; (iii) the historical adjusted R&D expense measures exclude from GAAP R&D expenses share-based compensation expense and transaction and integration costs; (iv) the adjusted net income attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (and the related per share measures) guidance exclude from estimated GAAP net income attributable to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (and the related per share measures) intangible asset amortization, share-based compensation expense, upfront and milestone payments, transaction, integration and restructuring costs, non-cash interest expense and loss on extinguishment and modification of debt; and adjust the income tax provision to the estimated amount of taxes that are payable in cash; (v) the adjusted gross margin percentage guidance excludes from estimated GAAP gross margin percentage share-based compensation expense; (vi) the adjusted SG&A expenses guidance excludes from estimated GAAP SG&A expenses share-based compensation expense and transaction, integration and restructuring costs; (vii) the adjusted R&D expenses guidance excludes from estimated GAAP R&D expenses share-based compensation expense and a potential milestone payment; and (viii) the adjusted interest expense guidance excludes from estimated GAAP interest expense non-cash interest expense.

    *            Non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable
                 to Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc and its line
                 item components and related non-GAAP
                 adjusted financial measures shown in the
                 tables above are not meant to be
                 considered in isolation or as a substitute
                 for comparable GAAP reported measures, and
                 should be read in conjunction with the
                 condensed consolidated financial
                 statements prepared in accordance with
                 GAAP. The company believes that each of
                 these non-GAAP adjusted financial
                 measures is helpful in understanding its
                 past financial performance and potential
                 future results, particularly in light of
                 the effect of various acquisition and
                 divestiture transactions effected by the
                 company. Company management regularly uses
                 these supplemental non-GAAP financial
                 measures internally to understand, manage
                 and evaluate its business and make
                 operating decisions. Compensation of
                 executives is based in part on the
                 performance of the company's business
                 based on certain of these non-GAAP
                 financial measures. In addition, the
                 company believes that the presentation of
                 these non-GAAP adjusted financial
                 measures is useful to investors because it
                 enhances the ability of investors to
                 compare its results from period-to-
                 period and allows for greater transparency
                 with respect to key financial metrics the
                 company uses in making operating
                 decisions, and also because the company's
                 investors and analysts regularly use them
                 to model and track the company's financial
                 performance. Specifically, the company
                 believes that each of these non-GAAP
                 adjusted financial measures provides
                 useful information to management,
                 investors and analysts by excluding, as
                 applicable, intangible asset amortization,
                 share-based compensation expense,
                 restructuring charges, transaction and
                 integration costs, acquired in-process
                 research and development expenses,
                 impairment charges, acquisition accounting
                 inventory fair value step-up adjustments,
                 non-cash interest expense and loss on
                 extinguishment and modification of debt
                 that may not be indicative of the
                 company's core operating results and
                 business outlook, and by including
                 adjustments to convert the income tax
                 provision to the estimated amount of taxes
                 that are payable in cash and adjustments
                 for the amount attributable to
                 noncontrolling interests. Investors should
                 note that these non-GAAP adjusted
                 financial measures are not prepared under
                 any comprehensive set of accounting rules
                 or principles and do not reflect all of
                 the amounts associated with the company's
                 results of operations as determined in
                 accordance with GAAP. Investors should
                 also note that these non-GAAP adjusted
                 financial measures have no standardized
                 meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore,
                 have limits in their usefulness to
                 investors. In addition, from time to time
                 in the future there may be other items
                 that the company may exclude for purposes
                 of its non-GAAP adjusted financial
                 measures; and the company has ceased, and
                 may in the future cease, to exclude items
                 that it has historically excluded for
                 purposes of its non-GAAP adjusted
                 financial measures. In this regard,
                 commencing with the company's presentation
                 of 2015 non-GAAP financial measures, the
                 company no longer includes an adjustment
                 for depreciation expense in its non-GAAP
                 adjusted financial measures. Likewise, for
                 purposes of comparability, non-GAAP
                 adjusted financial measures for 2014
                 included herein do not include an
                 adjustment for depreciation expense.
                 Because of the non-standardized
                 definitions of non-GAAP adjusted
                 financial measures, the non-GAAP adjusted
                 financial measures appearing herein may be
                 calculated differently from, and therefore
                 may not be directly comparable to,
                 similarly titled measures used by the
                 company's competitors and other companies.

                      expense of $127,000 for JZP-110,
                      the company would have had income
                      before income tax provision of

                      the respective six-month period.
