SAN DIEGO, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HALO) ("Halozyme" or the "Company") today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024, and provided an update on its recent corporate activities and outlook.
"Our strong financial results reflect another quarter of double-digit royalty revenue, EBITDA and earnings growth. We remain on track to deliver on our financial guidance for the full year that was recently raised following the issuance and validation of a new EU patent covering the ENHANZE rHuPH20 product. In the quarter, we also expanded ENHANZE into neurology treatment with Roche's EU and UK approval of Ocrevus SC, while also extending our reach into auto-immune diseases with argenx's FDA approval for VYVGART Hytrulo for the treatment of CIDP," said Dr. Helen Torley, president and chief executive officer of Halozyme. "Looking ahead, we have a robust pipeline with clear line of sight to 10 approved products with ENHANZE in 2025. This includes the potential U.S. approvals for Roche's Tecentriq SC and Ocrevus SC in September 2024. Building on this momentum, we project U.S. approval for BMS' nivolumab SC at the end of the year and Johnson & Johnson's amivantamab SC is on track for potential U.S. and EU launches in 2025. We are now 10 for 10 in terms of success in IV to SC Phase 3 studies, further cementing ENHANZE as the gold standard for rapid SC delivery."

Second
Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:
Revenue was $231.4 million, compared to $221.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. The 5% year-over-year increase was primarily driven by royalty revenue growth and an increase in proprietary product sales, partially offset by lower milestone revenue. Revenue for the quarter included $124.9 million in royalties, an increase of 12% compared to $111.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, primarily attributable to increases in revenue of Phesgo®, the launch of VYVGART® Hytrulo and the U.S. launch of Teriparatide. DARZALEX® SC royalties were temporarily lowered in Europe between March and June prior to the issuance of the new European patent covering the ENHANZE® rHuPH20 product.
Cost of sales was $39.6 million, compared to $50.1 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower device and bulk rHuPH20 sales, partially offset by higher proprietary product sales.
Amortization of intangibles expense remained flat at $17.8 million, compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Research and development expense was $21.0 million, compared to $19.7 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to planned investments in ENHANZE® related to the development of our new high yield API manufacturing processes.
Selling, general and administrative expense was $35.7 million, compared to $38.9 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to planned reductions in commercial marketing expense.
Operating income was $117.2 million, compared to $94.5 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Net Income was $93.2 million, compared to $74.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA was $137.0 million, compared to $115.1 million in the second quarter of 2023.1
GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.72, compared to $0.56 in the second quarter of 2023. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.91, compared to $0.74 in the second quarter of 2023.1
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $529.0 million on June 30, 2024, compared to $336.0 million on December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily a result of cash generated from operations.
Financial Outlook for 2024
The Company is reiterating its financial guidance for 2024, which was increased on June 6, 2024 as a result of the new European patent for ENHANZE®. For the full year 2024, the Company expects:
Total revenue of $935 million to $1,015 million, representing growth of 13% to 22% over 2023 total revenue primarily driven by increases in royalty revenue, collaboration revenue and growth in product sales from XYOSTED®. Revenue from royalties of $520 million to $555 million, representing growth of 16% to 24% over 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA of $555 million to $615 million, representing growth of 30% to 44% over 2023.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $3.65 to $4.05, representing growth of 32% to 46% over 2023. The Company's earnings per share guidance does not consider the impact of potential future share repurchases.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain non-GAAP financial measures. The Company reports earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, and guidance with respect to those measures, in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company calculates non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discounts, intangible asset amortization, inventory adjustments and certain adjustments to income tax expense. The Company calculates EBITDA excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA excluding one-time items. Reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release. The Company does not provide reconciliations of forward-looking adjusted measures to GAAP due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including adjustments that could be made for changes in share-based compensation expense and the effects of any discrete income tax items. The Company evaluates other items of income and expense on an individual basis for potential inclusion in the calculation of Non-GAAP financial measures and considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including (i) its size and nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to the Company's ongoing business operations and (iii) whether or not the Company expects it to occur as part of the Company's normal business on a regular basis. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. 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 may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the Company, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what the Company considers to be its core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The non-GAAP measures also allow investors and analysts to make additional comparisons of the operating activities of the Company's core business over time and with respect to other companies, as well as assessing trends and future expectations. The Company uses non-GAAP financial information in assessing what it believes is a meaningful and comparable set of financial performance measures to evaluate operating trends, as well as in establishing portions of our performance-based incentive compensation programs.
Safe Harbor Statement
In addition to historical information, the statements set forth in this press release include forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements concerning the Company's financial performance (including the Company's financial outlook for 2024) and expectations for future growth, profitability, total revenue, royalty revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP diluted earnings-per-share and potential share repurchases under its share repurchase program. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology may include the possible benefits and attributes of ENHANZE®, its potential application to aid in the dispersion and absorption of other injected therapeutic drugs and facilitating more rapid delivery and administration of higher volumes of injectable medications through subcutaneous delivery. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's business may include potential growth and receipt of royalty and milestone payments driven by our partners' development and commercialization efforts, potential new clinical trial study starts and clinical data, regulatory submissions and product launches, the size and growth prospects of our partners' drug franchises, potential new or expanded collaborations and collaborative targets and regulatory review, PDUFA action dates and potential approvals of new partnered or proprietary products, and the potential timing of these events. These forward-looking statements are typically, but not always, identified through use of the words "expect," "believe," "enable," "may," "will," "could," "intends," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "predict," "probable," "potential," "possible," "should," "continue," and other words of similar meaning and involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations contained in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including unexpected levels of revenues, expenditures and costs, unexpected delays in the execution of the Company's share repurchase program, unexpected results or delays in the growth of the Company's business, or in the development, regulatory review or commercialization of the Company's partnered or proprietary products, regulatory approval requirements, unexpected adverse events or patient outcomes and competitive conditions. These and other factors that may result in differences are discussed in greater detail in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty to update forward-looking statements to reflect events after the date of this release.
