REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Nov. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alvotech (NASDAQ: ALVO, or the “Company”), a global biotech company specializing in the development and manufacture of biosimilar medicines for patients worldwide, today reported unaudited financial results for the first nine months of 2023 and provided a summary of recent corporate highlights.
"We continue to celebrate global biosimilar first, with approvals of AVT04, our biosimilar to Stelara®, in Japan and Canada and a positive CHMP opinion in Europe, also the first for an ustekinumab biosimilar. We look forward to bringing our second product to global markets. We also continued to strengthen our pipeline with a new development and commercialization partnership for AVT23, a biosimilar candidate to Xolair®, which has already entered into a confirmatory patient study,” said Robert Wessman, Chairman and CEO of Alvotech. “A forthcoming FDA reinspection, scheduled for January 2024, sets the stage for potential approval of AVT02 in the U.S. by the BsUFA date in late February 2024. AVT02 is well positioned to be the first interchangeable high-concentration biosimilar to Humira® in the U.S. market. A satisfactory FDA inspection should also pave the way for approval of AVT04 in the U.S. by the end of April 2024, well in advance of the license entry date in February of 2025.”
Recent Highlights
Alvotech and Fuji Pharma announced marketing approval in Japan for AVT04, a biosimilar to Stelara® (ustekinumab). This was the first approval of a biosimilar to Stelara in global markets.
Alvotech and JAMP Pharma also announced the receipt of a marketing authorization in Canada for AVT04. This is the first biosimilar to Stelara which receives marketing authorization in Canada, and the second approved biosimilar developed under the exclusive commercialization partnership between Alvotech and JAMP Pharma.
Alvotech and STADA Arzneimittel announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) within the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion for AVT04. This is the first positive opinion issued by the EMA for a biosimilar to Stelara. Marketing authorization, which is pending final approval from the European Commission, would be valid across all 27 European Union (EU) member states, as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
Alvotech announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted a resubmitted Biologics License Application (BLA) for AVT02, with a Biosimilar User Fee Act (BsUFA) goal date of February 24, 2024. Approval is pending FDA reinspection of Alvotech’s facility, which is scheduled to take place on January 10-19, 2024.
Alvotech resubmitted BLA for AVT04, has also been accepted by the FDA, with a BsUFA goal date of April 16, 2024. Approval of AVT04 is also subject to a satisfactory outcome of the expected FDA facility reinspection in January 2024. According to a settlement agreement reached with Johnson & Johnson in June 2023, the U.S. license entry date for AVT04 is February 21, 2025.
Alvotech entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Kashiv Biosciences for the development and commercialization of AVT23 a biosimilar candidate for Xolair® (omalizumab). Under the agreement, Kashiv will develop and manufacture AVT23, while Alvotech will leverage its global partnerships and market expertise for commercialization. Initiation of a confirmatory patient study has been announced by Kashiv, that will compare AVT23 and Xolair in terms of efficacy, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity.
Financial Results for First Nine Months of 2023
Cash position and sources of liquidity: As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $68.3 million, excluding $25.2 million of restricted cash. In addition, the Company had borrowings of $912.1 million, including $13.6 million of current portion of borrowings, as of September 30, 2023. Gross proceeds of $140 million from the private placement of convertible bonds, including Teva Pharmaceutical’s subscription for $40 million in a separate transaction, have been received during the third quarter 2023.
Product Revenue: Product revenue was $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $11.1 million for the same nine months of 2022. Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, consisted of product revenue from sales of AVT02 in select European countries and Canada.
License and Other Revenue: License and other revenue was $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $48.1 million for the same nine months of 2022. The decrease of $39.9 million was primarily attributable to the recognition of a $34.7 million research and development milestone during the same period in the prior year, due to the completion of the AVT04 main clinical program. The remainder of the decrease is principally due to the timing of development milestones and licensing arrangements.
Cost of product revenue: Cost of product revenue was $104.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $35.4 million for the same nine months of 2022, as a result of the successful launch of AVT02 in select European countries and Canada. Cost of product revenue for the quarter is disproportionate relative to product revenue due to the timing of new launches and elevated production-related charges, resulting in higher costs than revenues recognized for the period. The Company expects this relationship to normalize with increased production from the scaling and expansion of new or recent launches. The Company estimates that the anticipated increase in sales volumes will result in greater absorption of fixed manufacturing costs. Prior to the recognition of cost of product revenues, costs from pre-commercial manufacturing activities were reported as R&D expenses.
Research and development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses were $152.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $133.1 million for the same nine months of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a one-time charge of $18.5 million relating to the termination of the co-development agreement with Biosana for AVT23, and a $30.9 million increase in direct program expenses mainly from three biosimilar candidates, AVT03, AVT05, and AVT06, that entered clinical development in late 2022 and early 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $28.3 million primarily related to programs that have completed clinical phase (i.e., AVT02 and AVT04).
General and administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses were $58.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $156.5 million for the same nine months of 2022. The decrease in G&A expenses was primarily attributable to a $83.4 million non-cash share listing expense, $21.0 million of transaction costs recognized as a result of the Business Combination, and $10.6 million of non-recurring IP-related legal expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was partially offset by a $9.3 million net increase in other general administrative expenses due to incremental costs from operating as a public company. Lastly, the Company recognized $9.4 million in G&A expenses for share-based payments, resulting from the granting of Restricted Share Units (RSUs) during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Finance income: Finance income was $46.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $97.3 million for the same nine months of 2022. The change was primarily attributable to a decrease in the fair value of the derivative financial liabilities, resulting from a decrease in the price of Alvotech’s ordinary shares.
Finance costs: Finance costs were $107.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $69.2 million for the same nine months of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to interest charged on additional borrowings and convertible bonds issued during the nine months of 2023 .
Exchange rate differences: Exchange rate differences resulted in a gain of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a gain of $13.6 million for the same nine months of 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of the exchange rate on financial assets and liabilities denominated in Icelandic Krona and Euros.
Income tax benefit: Income tax benefit was $67.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $14.8 million for the same nine months of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by $27.9 million deferred tax credit corresponding to an increase in operating losses, and a $27.6 million favorable foreign currency impact due to strengthening of the Icelandic Krona against the U.S. dollar, increasing the U.S. dollar value of tax loss carry-forwards expected to be utilized against future taxable profits.
Loss for the Period: Net loss was $275.2 million, or ($1.21) per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to net loss of $193.1 million, or ($1.00) per share on a basic and diluted basis, for the same nine months of 2022.
