Ligand Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Conference Call Begins at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time Today

SAN DIEGO (November 3, 2016) - Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (NASDAQ: LGND) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, and provided an operating forecast and program updates. Ligand management will host a conference call today beginning at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time to discuss this announcement and answer questions. 

“Our solid third quarter financial performance is highlighted by all-time high royalty revenues. In addition, we had a very active quarter with new licensings further increasing our portfolio of partnered assets,” said John Higgins, Chief Executive Officer of Ligand. “Novartis continues to make excellent progress with growing sales, expanding indications and entering new geographies with Promacta®. Amgen is focused on growing Kyprolis®, and Spectrum’s product Evomela® is showing good momentum in sales growth following its launch earlier this year. Also, recent positive clinical and regulatory milestones were achieved with a few of our more important portfolio programs, notably for programs or technologies licensed to Retrophin, Lundbeck and Melinta. We also initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial with LGD-6972 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.”

Ligand is in the process of evaluating certain deferred tax assets (DTA) recorded in the third quarter of 2015. Ligand is reviewing the amount of net operating loss carryforwards recorded as a result of capitalized R&D expenses associated with two acquisitions accounted for in 2010. As a result, the amount of DTA Ligand recorded in connection with the release of its valuation allowance could be reduced by approximately 10% of the $217 million DTA booked in the third quarter of 2015. The impact of the reduction would reduce the one-time DTA gain and would reduce GAAP net income for that period by the same amount. The balance sheet for the third quarter of 2015 and every subsequent period would reflect the reduction in DTA. The 2015 GAAP net income and earnings per share, which would be impacted by the reduction in DTA, are not available at this time, but will be reported in Ligand’s Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2016, which will include Ligand’s conclusion regarding the reduction in DTA. The GAAP and adjusted net income and EPS figures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016 would be unaffected by the changes.

Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Total revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were $21.6 million, compared with $17.7 million for the same period in 2015. Royalty revenues were $15.7 million, compared with $9.8 million for the same period in 2015 primarily due to higher royalties from Promacta® and Kyprolis®. Material sales were $4.2 million, compared with $6.0 million for the same period in 2015 due to timing of Captisol® purchases for use in clinical trials and commercial products. License and milestone revenues were $1.7 million, compared with $1.9 million for the same period in 2015.

Cost of goods sold was $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared with $1.3 million for the same period in 2015 due to the timing and mix of Captisol sales. Amortization of intangibles was $2.7 million, compared with $0.6 million for the same period in 2015 due primarily to additional amortization of intangibles related to the acquisition of OMT. Research and development expense was $6.3 million, compared with $1.9 million for the same period of 2015 as a result of the addition of OMT-related expenses, timing of spending on internal development programs and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expense was $6.3 million, compared with $5.0 million for the same period in 2015 due to costs associated with OMT and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $0.6 million, or $0.03 per share. Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $13.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income for the same period in 2015 of $12.0 million, or $0.57 per diluted share. See “Adjusted Financial Measures” and the accompanying table below for the adjusted calculations and reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures.

As of September 30, 2016, Ligand had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $124.1 million.

Year-to-Date Financial Results

Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were $70.8 million, compared with $50.7 million for the same period in 2015. Royalty revenues were $39.8 million, compared with $26.6 million for the same period in 2015 primarily due to higher royalties from Promacta® and Kyprolis®. Material sales were $13.5 million, compared with $20.5 million for the same period in 2015 due to timing of Captisol® purchases for use in clinical trials and commercial products. License and milestone revenues were $17.5 million, compared with $3.6 million for the same period in 2015 due to the addition of OmniAb revenue as of January 2016 and the timing of milestones and upfront license fees.

Cost of goods sold was $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared with $4.9 million for the same period in 2015 due to the timing and mix of Captisol® sales. Amortization of intangibles was $7.9 million, compared with $1.8 million for the same period in 2015 due primarily to additional amortization of intangibles related to the acquisition of OMT. Research and development expense was $14.8 million, compared with $8.7 million for the same period of 2015 as a result of timing of spending on internal development programs and non-cash stock-based compensation expense. General and administrative expense was $20.0 million, compared with $18.2 million for the same period in 2015 due to costs associated with OMT and non-cash stock-based compensation expense.


2

GAAP net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $1.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $45.3 million, or $2.09 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income for the same period in 2015 of $57.3 million, or $2.75 per diluted share.

Revised Financial Forecast

The Company is revising expectations for full-year 2016 total revenues to be between $110 million and $114 million, and adjusted earnings per diluted share to be between $3.37 and $3.44. This compares to previous Company expectations for full-year 2016 total revenues to be between $115 million and $119 million, and adjusted earnings per diluted share to be between $3.41 and $3.46. The revised outlook for total revenues reflects expected lower sales for Captisol due to timing of certain regulatory and clinical events. The Company expects total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2016 to be between $39 million and $43 million, including approximately $19 million in royalty revenues. Fourth quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share is expected to be between $1.29 and $1.36. For 2017, we are maintaining our previously disclosed guidance of greater than $160 million of revenue and greater than $5.03 of adjusted earnings per diluted share.

The adjusted net income per diluted share guidance excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense, non-cash debt-related costs, amortization related to acquisitions, changes in contingent liabilities, non-cash net losses of Viking Therapeutics equity, mark-to-market adjustment for amounts owed to licensors, fair value adjustments to Viking Therapeutics convertible note receivable and warrants, non-cash tax benefit (expense), unissued shares relating to the Senior Convertible Note and adjustments for discontinued operations, net of non-cash tax expense.

Third Quarter 2016 and Recent Business Highlights

Portfolio Program Progress

Promacta®/Revolade® 

•
Novartis announced Q3 2016 net sales of Promacta® (eltrombopag) of $168 million, a $51 million or 44% increase over Q3 2015. Novartis also announced that Promacta is now approved in more than 100 countries.

Kyprolis® (carfilzomib), an Amgen Product Utilizing Captisol

•
On September 27, 2016, Amgen announced top-line results of the Phase 3 CLARION trial, which evaluated an investigational regimen of Kyprolis® (carfilzomib), melphalan and prednisone (KMP) versus Velcade® (bortezomib), melphalan and prednisone (VMP) for 54 weeks in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who were ineligible for hematopoietic stem-cell transplant. The trial did not meet the primary endpoint of superiority in progression-free survival (PFS). A Phase 3 study evaluating Kyprolis in combination with lenalidomide plus dexamethasone (KRd) versus Velcade in combination with lenalidomide plus dexamethasone (VRd) in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients called ENDURANCE, an investigator-sponsored study, is underway independently by the ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements by Ligand that involve risks and uncertainties and reflect Ligand's judgment as of the date of this release. Words such as “plans,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” and “will,” and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: Ligand’s future revenue growth, including the timing, mix and volume of Captisol orders, the timing of the initiation or completion of clinical trials by Ligand and its partners, the timing of review of clinical data by the FDA, expected value creation for shareholders and guidance regarding the full-year 2016 and 2017 financial results. Actual events or results may differ from Ligand's expectations. For example, Ligand may not receive expected revenue from material sales of Captisol, expected royalties on other partnered products and research or development milestone payments. Ligand and its partners may not be able to timely or successfully advance any product(s) in its internal or partnered pipeline. In addition, Ligand's review of DTA may result in a

6

reduction of DTA greater than currently expected. Any resulting reclassification to the 2015 financial statements may also result in Ligand's inability to rely on the auditors' opinion with respect to the 2015 financial statements and the need for a new audit of the 2015 financial statements and amended periodic reports for 2015 and 2016. In addition, there can be no assurance that Ligand will achieve its guidance for 2016 or 2017 or any portion thereof or beyond, that Ligand's 2016 or 2017 revenues will be at the levels as currently anticipated, that Ligand will be able to create future revenues and cash flows by developing innovative therapeutics, that results of any clinical study will be timely, favorable or confirmed by later studies, that products under development by Ligand or its partners will receive regulatory approval, that there will be a market for the product(s) if successfully developed and approved, or that Ligand's partners will not terminate any of its agreements or development or commercialization of any of its products. Further, Ligand may not generate expected revenues under its existing license agreements and may experience significant costs as the result of potential delays under its supply agreements. Also, Ligand and its partners may experience delays in the commencement, enrollment, completion or analysis of clinical testing for its product candidates, or significant issues regarding the adequacy of its clinical trial designs or the execution of its clinical trials, which could result in increased costs and delays, or limit Ligand's ability to obtain regulatory approval. Further, unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate therapeutic efficacy of Ligand's product(s) could delay or prevent regulatory approval or commercialization. In addition, Ligand may not be able to successfully implement its strategic growth plan and continue the development of its proprietary programs. The failure to meet expectations with respect to any of the foregoing matters may reduce Ligand's stock price. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors affecting Ligand can be found in prior press releases available at www.ligand.com as well as in Ligand's public periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission available at www.sec.gov. Ligand disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements beyond the date of this release. This caution is made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
