27 Febrero 2024 - 3:05PM
OPKO Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPK) reports business
highlights and financial results for the three and 12 months ended
December 31, 2023.
Business highlights from the fourth quarter and
subsequent weeks included the following:
- ModeX advanced its
antiviral and immune-oncology product
pipeline. ModeX advanced its pipeline of antiviral
and immune-oncology programs utilizing its next-generation
multispecific antibodies, with expectations for one oncology
program to enter the clinic this year. In 2023, Modex secured two
collaborations including one with Merck to develop MDX-2201, its
vaccine for Epstein-Barr virus, and another with BARDA to develop
novel multispecific antibodies against viral infectious disease
threats.
- NGENLA®
has now been approved in over 50 countries including the
U.S., Japan, EU Member States, Canada and Australia.
Pfizer, OPKO’s commercial partner, has launched NGENLA in all
priority global markets. OPKO is entitled to gross profit sharing
in all global markets based on sales of both NGENLA and Genotropin.
NGENLA is the first once-weekly product approved for the treatment
of pediatric growth hormone deficiency in Japan, Canada, Australia,
the United Kingdom, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates and
Brazil.
- BioReference Health
continued implementing its REACH program to improve operating
efficiencies and enhance productivity. With the goal of
achieving profitability this year, BioReference continued to
implement initiatives to reduce costs and improve productivity by
enhancing innovation of its higher-value specialty testing
segments. Other efforts to return this business to profitability
include expanding into new markets and marketing to new customer
segments, such as pharmaceutical companies.
- Approvals received for OPKO
Health-branded Storefront on Alibaba’s Tmall Global Platform in
China. NextPlat Corp., a global e-Commerce provider, is
launching an OPKO Health-branded online storefront on Alibaba's
Tmall Global e-commerce platform in China. This new online
storefront will initially list up to 40 OPKO health and wellness
products featuring an assortment of nutraceuticals for bone, joint
and eye health, as well as supplements for nutrition and immunity
defense. NextPlat intends to significantly expand the OPKO online
storefront with a wide array of veterinary and animal health
products, subject to final Chinese regulatory approval, which is
expected during the second quarter of 2024.
Fourth Quarter Financial
Results
- Pharmaceuticals:
Revenue from products in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased to
$43.0 million from $37.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022,
driven by growing sales from our international operations,
positively impacted by foreign currency fluctuations of
approximately $1.3 million. Furthermore, sales of RAYALDEE
increased to $9.3 million from $9.1 million in the prior-year
period. Revenue from the transfer of intellectual property was
$14.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with $8.1
million in the 2022 period, which included revenue of $12.2 million
and $3.0 million, respectively, of gross profit share payments for
NGENLA; the fourth quarter of 2023 included a catch-up payment of
$3.1 million for the U.S. for the third quarter of 2023. Total
costs and expenses were $73.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023
compared with $68.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase
was primarily from higher cost of product revenues reflecting sales
growth from OPKO’s international operating companies, negatively
impacted by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations of $1.1
million. Furthermore, research and development expenses increased
as we continued to invest in our pipeline of immune-oncology and
infectious disease programs. Operating loss was $16.0 million in
the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with $22.0 million in the
fourth quarter of 2022.
- Diagnostics:
Revenue from services in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $124.2
million compared with $139.4 million in the prior-year period. The
decrease reflects lower clinical test reimbursement of $9.0 million
due to the mix of testing ordered, partially offset by an increase
of $0.9 million from higher clinical test volume. COVID-19 testing
volume and reimbursement decreased by $7.1 million due to higher
utilization of antigen point-of-care diagnostic tests, as well as a
shift in customer mix. Total costs and expenses for the fourth
quarter of 2023 were $166.4 million compared with $162.5 million in
the fourth quarter of 2022. This increase is primarily due to
non-recurring employee retention and severance costs associated
with our ongoing REACH initiatives. Through these initiatives, the
Company has reduced ongoing expenses on an annualized basis by
$10.1 million. Operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2023 was
$42.3 million, including $4.7 million of non-recurring expenses and
$5.4 million of revenue adjustments, compared with an operating
loss of $23.1 million in the 2022 period.
- Consolidated:
Consolidated total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were
$181.9 million compared with $185.4 million for the comparable 2022
period. Operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $69.1
million compared with an operating loss of $55.3 million for the
2022 quarter. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $65.5
million, or $0.09 per share, compared with a net loss of $85.2
million, or $0.11 per share, for the 2022 quarter. Net
loss for the 2023 period included a mark-to-market adjustment of
$3.2 million compared with $49.1 million in the 2022 period related
to the decrease in the share price of GeneDx. In addition, OPKO
reported an income tax benefit in the 2023 period of $6.0 million
compared with $17.0 million in the 2022 period.
- Cash and cash
equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents were $95.9 million
as of December 31, 2023. Subsequent to the close of the fourth
quarter, OPKO completed the sale of $230 million aggregate
principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 and
exchanged approximately $144.4 million of the Company’s outstanding
4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025. The Company used
approximately $50.0 million of the net proceeds to repurchase
shares of the Company’s common stock from purchasers of the notes.
Additionally, OPKO issued and sold approximately $71.1 million
aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes
due 2029 to several holders, including Company affiliates in
exchange for the outstanding 5% Convertible Promissory Notes and
accrued interest.
