DUBLIN, Ireland, Feb. 13, 2020 — Alkermes plc (Nasdaq: ALKS) today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2019 and provided financial expectations for 2020.

“2019 was an important year for Alkermes as we took active steps to shape the future of our business and continued to make a real-world impact in the treatment of serious diseases. We made significant progress on three fronts: driving growth in our proprietary product portfolio, advancing and expanding our diversified neuroscience and oncology pipeline, and positioning the business for long-term growth and future profitability,” said Richard Pops, Chief Executive Officer of Alkermes. “Looking ahead, our priorities for 2020 are clear as we focus on commercial execution for VIVITROL^® and ARISTADA^®, prepare for potential approval and launch of ALKS 3831, advance the development of ALKS 4230, and continue to develop our pipeline of preclinical assets. We remain steadfast in our commitment to be a positive force for change through our science, our medicines, and our advocacy, as we advance patient-centered care.”

Quarter Ended Dec. 31, 2019 Financial Highlights

• Total revenues for the quarter were $412.7 million. This compared to $315.8 million for the same period in the prior year.

• Net loss according to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP) was $5.4 million for the quarter, or a basic and diluted GAAP loss per share of $0.03. This compared to GAAP net loss of $9.7 million, or a basic and diluted GAAP loss per share of $0.06, for the same period in the prior year.

• Non-GAAP net income was $131.4 million for the quarter, or a non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.83. This compared to non-GAAP net income of $54.8 million, or a non-GAAP basic earnings per share of $0.35 and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.34, for the same period in the prior year.

• In October 2019, Alkermes implemented a strategic restructuring plan, which included the elimination of approximately 160 current positions across the organization, a decrease in the company's expected near-term hiring plans and the implementation of cost-saving measures related to external spend. These efforts are expected to result in cost savings of approximately $150 million in 2020.

• In November 2019, Alkermes completed the acquisition of Rodin Therapeutics, Inc. (Rodin), a privately held biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel, small molecule therapeutics for synaptopathies. At the closing of the transaction, Alkermes made a cash payment of $98.1 million to Rodin's former security holders. This upfront cash payment was funded by Alkermes' available cash and was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with $86.6 million of this upfront payment recorded as research and development (R&D) expense in the quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Non-GAAP net income (loss) adjusts for one-time and non-cash charges by excluding from GAAP results: share-based compensation expense; amortization; depreciation; non-cash net interest expense; certain other one-time or non-cash items; and the income tax effect of these reconciling items.

The company’s management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the company’s performance. The company provides these non-GAAP measures of the company’s performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the company’s results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share should not be considered measures of our liquidity.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
