Puma Biotechnology Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBYI), a biopharmaceutical company, announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons are for the fourth quarter and full year 2023 compared to the fourth quarter and full year 2022.

Product revenue, net consists entirely of revenue from sales of NERLYNX®, Puma’s first commercial product. Product revenue, net for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $53.2 million, compared to $53.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Product revenue, net for the full year 2023 was $203.1 million, compared to $200.0 million in 2022.

Based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), Puma reported net income of $12.3 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to a net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net income for full year 2023 was $21.6 million, or $0.46 per basic share and $0.45 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $2,000, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, for full year 2022.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $14.8 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net income for full year 2023 was $31.8 million, or $0.68 per basic share and $0.67 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $11.8 million, or $0.26 per basic and diluted share, for full year 2022. Non-GAAP adjusted net income/loss excludes stock-based compensation expense. For a reconciliation of GAAP net income/loss to non-GAAP adjusted net income/loss and GAAP net income/loss per share to non-GAAP adjusted net income/loss per share, please see the financial tables at the end of this news release.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $10.4 million, compared to $7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Net cash provided by operating activities for full year 2023 was $27.0 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $15.8 million for full year 2022. At December 31, 2023, Puma had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $96.0 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $81.1 million at December 31, 2022.

“We are pleased to report positive net income for both the fourth quarter and full year 2023,” said Alan H. Auerbach, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Puma. “NERLYNX sales in the fourth quarter were negatively impacted by the lower enrollments seen in Q3, as well as a higher than expected gross to net for the quarter. We have continued to reduce our internal expenses to account for this higher gross to net and lower Q3 enrollments, as we recognize our fiscal responsibility to continue to be net income positive in 2024. Puma also continues to execute on the clinical development of alisertib, and in February, we were pleased to initiate ALISertib in CAncer (ALISCA-Lung1), a Phase II clinical trial of alisertib monotherapy for the treatment of patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.”

Mr. Auerbach added, “We anticipate the following key milestones over the next 12 months: (i) presentation of biomarker studies from the randomized trial of alisertib plus fulvestrant versus alisertib alone in hormone receptor positive, HER2-negative breast cancer (H1 2024); (ii) updated data from the clinical trial of alisertib in combination with osimertinib in patients with metastatic EGFR-mutant non small cell lung cancer who have developed osimertinib resistance (H1 2024); (iii) initiation of ALISCA-Breast1, a Phase II trial of alisertib in combination with endocrine treatment in patients with chemotherapy-naïve HER2-negative, hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer (Q4 2024); and (iv) interim data from ALISCA-Lung1, a Phase II clinical trial of alisertib monotherapy for the treatment of patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer (H2 2024).”

Revenue

Total revenue consists of product revenue, net from sales of NERLYNX, license revenue and royalty revenue. For the fourth quarter of 2023, total revenue was $72.2 million, of which $53.2 million was product revenue, net, and $19.0 million was royalty revenue. This compares to total revenue of $65.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, of which $53.7 million was product revenue, net, and $12.0 million was royalty revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2023, total revenue was $235.6 million, of which $203.1 million was product revenue, net, and $32.5 million was royalty revenue. This compares to total revenue in 2022 of $228.0 million, of which $200.0 million was product revenue, net, and $28.0 million was royalty revenue.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Total operating costs and expenses were $57.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $55.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Total operating costs and expenses were $203.0 million for full year 2023, compared to $204.3 million for full year 2022.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $24.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $16.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Cost of sales was $62.7 million for full year 2023, compared to cost of sales of $55.1 million for full year 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $20.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $25.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. SG&A expenses for full year 2023 were $89.9 million, essentially unchanged from $90.0 million for full year 2022. The slight increase includes an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $3.5 million, primarily due to a one-time $2.0 million CARES Act credit in 2022, increased compensation of $1.5 million in 2023, and a $0.9 million credit loss reserve. These increases were offset by a decrease of $4.1 million in professional fees and expenses related to consultants and contractors, as well as lower insurance expenses and administrative costs.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $12.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. R&D expenses for full year 2023 were $50.4 million, compared to $52.2 million for full year 2022. The $1.8 million decrease in R&D expenses during full year 2023 compared to full year 2022 resulted primarily from the reduction and closure of NERLYNX clinical trial sites of approximately $4.7 million, partially offset by an increase in internal R&D expenses of approximately $3.2 million, primarily due to a tax credit recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022 under the CARES Act, without a comparable tax credit in 2023.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expense

Puma recorded acquired in-process R&D expense related to an alisertib up-front payment of $7.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. No similar expenses were recorded in 2023.

Total Other Income (Expenses)

Total other expenses were $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $15.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Total other expenses were $9.9 million for full year 2023, compared to $23.2 million for full year 2022. The $13.3 million decrease in other expenses in full year 2023 resulted primarily from legal verdict expenses recorded in 2022, with no similar accruals in 2023, as well as an increase in other income related to higher interest rates in 2023.

About Puma Biotechnology

Puma Biotechnology, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company with a focus on the development and commercialization of innovative products to enhance cancer care. Puma in-licensed the global development and commercialization rights to PB272 (neratinib, oral), PB272 (neratinib, intravenous) and PB357. Neratinib, oral was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2017 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer, following adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy, and is marketed in the United States as NERLYNX® (neratinib) tablets. In February 2020, NERLYNX was also approved by the FDA in combination with capecitabine for the treatment of adult patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who have received two or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. NERLYNX was granted marketing authorization by the European Commission in 2018 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage hormone receptor-positive HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer and who are less than one year from completion of prior adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy. NERLYNX® is a registered trademark of Puma Biotechnology, Inc.

In September 2022, Puma entered into an exclusive license agreement for the development and commercialization of the anti-cancer drug alisertib, a selective, small molecule, orally administered inhibitor of aurora kinase A. Initially, Puma intends to focus the development of alisertib on the treatment of small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. In February 2024, Puma initiated ALISCA-Lung 1, a Phase II clinical trial of alisertib monotherapy for the treatment of patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer.

To help ensure patients have access to NERLYNX, Puma has implemented the Puma Patient Lynx support program to assist patients and healthcare providers with reimbursement support and referrals to resources that can help with financial assistance. More information on the Puma Patient Lynx program can be found at https://www.NERLYNX.com or by calling 1-855-816-5421.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to operating results as calculated in accordance with GAAP, Puma uses certain non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring, and evaluating operational performance. The following table presents Puma’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share calculated in accordance with GAAP and as adjusted to remove the impact of stock-based compensation expense. For the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, stock-based compensation represented approximately 7.4% and 7.3% of operating expenses, respectively, and 6.8% and 8.3% for the same periods in 2022, in each case excluding cost of sales and acquired in-process research and development. Puma’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to enhance understanding of Puma’s financial performance, are more indicative of its operational performance, and facilitate a better comparison among fiscal periods. These non-GAAP financial measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP reporting measures.
