NEW YORK, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Royalty Pharma plc (Nasdaq: RPRX) today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2024 and raised full year 2024 guidance for Portfolio Receipts.
“We delivered double-digit growth in Portfolio Receipts in the second quarter of 2024, ahead of our guidance for the quarter, and are delighted to raise our full year guidance,” said Pablo Legorreta, Royalty Pharma’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Our performance in the first half of the year extends our track record of strong growth since our IPO. We also had a very active quarter for capital deployment, announcing over $2 billion of investments across six therapies as we expanded partnerships with Cytokinetics, PTC Therapeutics and Agios. In addition, reflecting our attractive fundamental outlook, we continued to repurchase our Class A ordinary shares as part of our balanced capital allocation strategy. Lastly, as we anticipated, 2024 is proving to be an event-rich year for our exciting development-stage pipeline with positive clinical updates on two key therapies in our portfolio. Looking ahead, we continue to have a robust deal pipeline and remain highly confident in our ability to deliver attractive, compounding growth over the long-term.”
Double-digit growth for Portfolio Receipts and Royalty Receipts in the second quarter of 2024
- Royalty Receipts grew 11% to $605 million, driven by strong portfolio performance particularly from the cystic fibrosis franchise, Trelegy, Tremfya and incremental royalties on Evrysdi.

Capital Deployment of approximately $2 billion in 2024, including cash to be paid for Voranigo (vorasidenib)
- Acquired royalties on Servier’s Voranigo, a first-in-class targeted therapy in IDH-mutant glioma.
- Purchased incremental royalties on Roche’s Evrysdi for spinal muscular atrophy.

Positive clinical updates for the development-stage royalty portfolio
- Johnson and Johnson announced positive Phase 3 results for seltorexant in major depressive disorder with insomnia symptoms and for Tremfya in Crohn’s disease, including demonstrating superiority versus Stelara.
Raising financial guidance for full year 2024 (excludes contribution from future transactions)

Recent Transactions
During 2024, Royalty Pharma announced new transactions of up to approximately $2.0 billion. Announced transactions amount reflects the entire amount of capital committed for new transactions during the year, including potential future milestones.
Recent transactions include:
- In June 2024, PTC Therapeutics exercised its option to sell approximately half of its royalty retained on Roche’s Evrysdi, an approved product for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy, for approximately $242 million. This option arose from the Evrysdi royalty transaction with PTC that was announced in October 2023, in which Royalty Pharma acquired additional royalties on Evrysdi for $1 billion. PTC has an option to sell the remainder of its retained royalty on Evrysdi for up to approximately $250 million, less royalties received, until December 31, 2025.
- In May 2024, Royalty Pharma announced a transaction to acquire a royalty interest in Voranigo (vorasidenib) from Agios Pharmaceuticals for an upfront payment of $905 million. The transaction was contingent upon FDA approval which was subsequently granted on August 6, 2024.
- In May 2024, Royalty Pharma expanded its strategic funding collaboration with Cytokinetics, Incorporated (“Cytokinetics”) to provide up to $575 million, including $250 million in upfront payments, in exchange for royalties and fixed payments.
- In May 2024, Royalty Pharma acquired royalties and milestones on frexalimab, which was owned by ImmuNext, Inc., for approximately $525 million, including estimated transaction costs. Royalty Pharma is entitled to receive royalties on annual worldwide net sales of frexalimab and milestones related to the achievement of certain commercial and regulatory events. Frexalimab, which is in development by Sanofi, is a second generation anti-CD40 ligand monoclonal antibody. Frexalimab is being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical studies for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and is in Phase 2 clinical studies for systemic lupus erythematosus and Type 1 Diabetes.

Key Developments Relating to the Portfolio
The key developments related to Royalty Pharma’s royalty interests are discussed below based on disclosures from the marketers of the products.
| Voranigo (vorasidenib) | In August 2024, Servier announced the FDA approval of Voranigo, a first-in-class targeted therapy for patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2) mutant diffuse glioma. Following this approval, Royalty Pharma will pay $905 million upfront in exchange for a 15% royalty on annual U.S. net sales of Voranigo up to $1 billion and a 12% royalty on annual U.S. net sales greater than $1 billion. |
| BCX10013 | In August 2024, BioCryst announced that it plans to discontinue development of its oral Factor D inhibitor, BCX10013, as the level of clinical activity observed was less than other therapies on the market. |
| Trodelvy | In May 2024, Gilead announced that the confirmatory Phase 3 TROPiCS-04 study evaluating Trodelvy versus single-agent chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer did not meet the primary endpoint of overall survival. Gilead is continuing to analyze the data and will discuss the results and next steps with the FDA. In the United States, Trodelvy has an accelerated approval in this indication and continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials, including the TROPiCS-04 study. |
| Tremfya | In May 2024, Johnson and Johnson announced the first Phase 3 results for Tremfya in adult patients with moderate to severely active Crohn’s disease, which demonstrated superiority versus placebo and Stelara. Data showed that both maintenance doses of Tremfya met the composite co-primary endpoints compared to placebo in each individual study. In results versus Stelara, both doses of Tremfya demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful differences on all prespecified pooled endoscopic endpoints. In May 2024, Johnson and Johnson announced positive Phase 3 results for Tremfya in patients with moderate to severely active Crohn’s disease with inadequate response/intolerance to conventional therapies and/or biologics. Johnson and Johnson submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application to the FDA seeking approval of Tremfya for Crohn’s disease and an application to the European Medicines Agency for ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. |
| Cystic fibrosis franchise | In May 2024, Vertex announced that it submitted a New Drug Application and Marketing Authorization Application for the new triple combination therapy to the FDA and the European Medicines Agency, respectively, for approval. This followed positive Phase 3 results for the new triple combination therapy in February 2024. In April 2024, Vertex announced that the European Commission had granted approval for the label expansion of Kalydeco for the treatment of infants down to one month of age with cystic fibrosis (CF) who have certain mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator gene. |
| Xtandi | In April 2024, Astellas Pharma announced the European Commission approved a label extension for Xtandi as monotherapy or in combination with androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of adult men with high-risk biochemical recurrent non-metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who are unsuitable for salvage-radiotherapy. |
| Seltorexant | In May 2024, Johnson and Johnson announced positive results from the pivotal Phase 3 MDD3001 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of seltorexant as an adjunctive treatment in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) with insomnia symptoms. The study achieved all primary and secondary endpoints, with seltorexant demonstrating both a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in depressive symptoms, and improved sleep disturbance outcomes, in patients who had a prior inadequate response to SSRI/SNRI antidepressants alone. |
| Pelabresib | In May 2024, Novartis announced that it met all tender offer conditions to acquire MorphoSys for €68 per share. The acquisition of MorphoSys by Novartis has been completed. |
| TEV-’749 | In May 2024, Teva Pharmaceuticals announced positive efficacy results from its Phase 3 trial evaluating TEV-’749, a once monthly subcutaneous long-acting injection of olanzapine, in adult patients with schizophrenia. Results demonstrated that TEV-’749 met its primary endpoint as measured by a change in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score from baseline after eight weeks compared to placebo. Additionally, no cases of Post-injection Delirium/Sedation Syndrome (PDSS) had been reported by that date, after administration of approximately 80% of the minimum target injection number. |
2024 Financial Outlook
Royalty Pharma has provided guidance for full-year 2024, excluding transactions and borrowings announced after the date of this release, as follows:
| Provided August 8, 2024 | Previous | |
| Portfolio Receipts | $2,700 million to $2,775 million | $2,600 million to $2,700 million |
| Payments for operating and professional costs | 8% to 9% of Portfolio Receipts | 8% to 9% of Portfolio Receipts |
| Interest paid | $160 million | $160 million |
The above Portfolio Receipts guidance includes expected Royalty Receipts growth of 9% to 12% in 2024.
Royalty Pharma’s full-year 2024 guidance reflects a negligible estimated foreign exchange impact to Portfolio Receipts, assuming current foreign exchange rates prevail for 2024.
Total interest paid is based on the semi-annual interest payment schedule of Royalty Pharma’s existing notes and is anticipated to be approximately $160 million in 2024. Interest paid is anticipated to be approximately $79 million in the third quarter of 2024 with a de minimis amount being recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024. The projection assumes no additional debt financing in 2024, including no drawdown on the revolving credit facility. In the second quarter of 2024, Royalty Pharma collected interest of $14 million on its cash and cash equivalents, which more than offset interest paid. In 2025, Royalty Pharma anticipates interest paid to be approximately $260 million, reflecting the aforementioned issuance of $1.5 billion of 2024 Notes.
Royalty Pharma today provides this guidance based on its most up-to-date view of its prospects. This guidance assumes no major unforeseen adverse events and excludes the contributions from transactions announced subsequent to the date of this press release. Furthermore, Royalty Pharma may amend its guidance in the event it engages in new royalty transactions which have a material near-term financial impact on the company.

Portfolio Receipts
Portfolio Receipts is a key performance metric that represents our ability to generate cash from our portfolio investments, the primary source of capital that we can deploy to make new portfolio investments. Portfolio Receipts is defined as the sum of Royalty Receipts and Milestones and other contractual receipts. Royalty Receipts includes variable payments based on sales of products, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma.
Milestones and other contractual receipts include sales-based or regulatory milestone payments and other fixed contractual receipts, net of contractual payments to legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma. Portfolio Receipts does not include proceeds from equity securities or proceeds from purchases and sales of marketable securities, neither of which are central to our fundamental business strategy.
Portfolio Receipts is calculated as the sum of the following line items from our GAAP statements of cash flows: Cash collections from financial royalty assets, Cash collections from intangible royalty assets, Other royalty cash collections, Proceeds from available for sale debt securities and Distributions from equity method investees less Distributions to legacy non-controlling interests - Portfolio Receipts, which represent contractual distributions of Royalty Receipts, milestones and other contractual receipts to RPSFT and the Legacy Investors Partnerships.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are non-GAAP liquidity measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are important non-GAAP measures used to analyze liquidity because they are key components of certain material covenants contained within Royalty Pharma’s credit agreement. Royalty Pharma cautions readers that amounts presented in accordance with the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies or analysts. These non-GAAP liquidity measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Royalty Pharma’s results as reported under GAAP.
The definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow used by Royalty Pharma are the same as the definitions in the credit agreement. Noncompliance with the interest coverage ratio, leverage ratio and Portfolio Cash Flow ratio covenants under the credit agreement could result in lenders requiring the company to immediately repay all amounts borrowed. If Royalty Pharma cannot satisfy these covenants, it would be prohibited under the credit agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends, making certain payments, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are critical to the assessment of Royalty Pharma’s liquidity.
Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are used by management as key liquidity measures in the evaluation of the company’s ability to generate cash from operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow when considering available cash, including for decision-making purposes related to funding of acquisitions, debt repayments, dividends and other discretionary investments. Further, these non-GAAP liquidity measures help management, the audit committee and investors evaluate the company’s ability to generate liquidity from operating activities.
The company has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP liquidity measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, being net cash provided by operating activities in Table 4.

Notes
(1) Portfolio Receipts is a key performance metric that represents our ability to generate cash from our portfolio investments, the primary source of capital that we can deploy to make new portfolio investments. Portfolio Receipts is defined as the sum of Royalty Receipts and milestones and other contractual receipts. Royalty Receipts includes variable payments based on sales of products, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma (“Royalty Receipts”). Milestones and other contractual receipts include sales-based or regulatory milestone payments and other fixed contractual receipts, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that are attributed to Royalty Pharma. Portfolio Receipts does not include proceeds from equity securities or marketable securities, both of which are not central to our fundamental business strategy.
Portfolio Receipts is calculated as the sum of the following line items from our GAAP statements of cash flows: Cash collections from financial royalty assets, Cash collections from intangible royalty assets, Other royalty cash collections, Proceeds from available for sale debt securities and Distributions from equity method investees less Distributions to legacy non-controlling interests - Portfolio Receipts, which represent contractual distributions of Royalty Receipts, milestones and other contractual receipts to RPSFT and the Legacy Investors Partnerships.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA is defined under the credit agreement as Portfolio Receipts minus payments for operating and professional costs. Operating and professional costs reflect Payments for operating and professional costs from the GAAP statements of cash flows. See GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation in Table 4.
(3) Portfolio Cash Flow is defined under the credit agreement as Adjusted EBITDA minus interest paid or received, net. See GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation in Table 4. Portfolio Cash Flow reflects the cash generated by Royalty Pharma’s business that can be redeployed into value-enhancing royalty acquisitions, used to repay debt, returned to shareholders through dividends or share purchases or utilized for other discretionary investments.
(4) Capital Deployment is calculated as the summation of the following line items from our GAAP statements of cash flows: Investments in equity method investees, Purchases of available for sale debt securities, Acquisitions of financial royalty assets, Acquisitions of other financial assets, Milestone payments, Development-stage funding payments - ongoing, Development-stage funding payments - upfront and milestone less Contributions from legacy non-controlling interests - R&D.
(5) Other products primarily include Royalty Receipts on the following products: Cimzia, Crysvita, Emgality, Farxiga/Onglyza, IDHIFA, Lexiscan, Nesina, Prevymis, Soliqua and distributions from the Legacy SLP Interest, which is presented as Distributions from equity method investees on the GAAP statements of cash flows.
