NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Royalty Pharma plc (Nasdaq: RPRX) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2021 and raised full-year 2021 guidance for Adjusted Cash Receipts(1) (a non-GAAP financial measure).
“We are delighted to report another quarter of impressive growth,” said Pablo Legorreta, Royalty Pharma’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Our business continues to exhibit tremendous momentum as evidenced by our existing portfolio performance, the substantial level of capital deployed this year and our robust deal pipeline. Furthermore, our development-stage royalty portfolio demonstrated encouraging progress, led by positive Phase 3 results for PT027 in asthma and the designation by the FDA of gantenerumab as a Breakthrough Therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. Looking ahead, the rapid pace of innovation in biopharma continues to drive enormous capital needs; given our unique leadership role in royalty funding, we are well positioned to deliver attractive, compounding growth in the coming years”.

Net cash provided by operating activities (GAAP) was $470 million in the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of 8%, compared to $509 million in the same period of 2020. The decrease in the third quarter of 2021 resulted primarily from a $90 million upfront payment to acquire royalties on two development-stage products from MorphoSys, and higher interest paid due to a change in the timing of interest payments from quarterly to semi-annually. This decrease was partially offset by higher cash collections from financial royalty assets.
Total royalty receipts were $712 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 21%, compared to $588 million in the same period of 2020. Growth in the third quarter of 2021 was largely attributable to the performance of the cystic fibrosis franchise, Tysabri, Biohaven payments, the addition of new royalties and a one-time milestone payment related to Soliqua of $45 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in royalty receipts from the HIV franchise which reached the end of its royalty term.
Drivers of royalty receipts in the third quarter of 2021 are discussed below, based on commentary from the marketers of the products underlying the royalties in the preceding quarter (as royalty receipts generally lag product performance by one calendar quarter).
Distributions to non-controlling interest, which reduce royalty receipts to arrive at Adjusted Cash Receipts(1), were $125 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 8% compared to the same period of 2020, primarily due to a distribution to non-controlling interest related to the one-time Soliqua milestone payment. As a percent of total royalty receipts, distributions to non-controlling interest decreased to 17.6% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 19.8% in the prior year period, driven by the addition of new royalties with no non-controlling interest contribution and reduced royalties from products with a higher percentage contribution to non-controlling interest, such as the HIV franchise.
Adjusted Cash Receipts(1) (non-GAAP) were $587 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of 24% compared to the same period of 2020, reflecting higher royalty receipts.
Adjusted EBITDA(4) (non-GAAP) is comprised of Adjusted Cash Receipts less payments for operating and professional costs. In the third quarter of 2021, Adjusted EBITDA was $533 million, a 29% increase compared to Adjusted EBITDA(4) of $413 million in the third quarter of 2020, which was largely attributable to the following items:
Adjusted Cash Flow(2) (non-GAAP) is comprised of Adjusted EBITDA(4) less ongoing development-stage funding payments, net interest paid and miscellaneous other items. In the third quarter of 2021, Adjusted Cash Flow was $441 million, a 12% increase compared to Adjusted Cash Flow of $394 million for the same period of 2020. The increase primarily resulted from the growth in Adjusted Cash Receipts(1). This was partially offset by higher net interest paid, investments in non-consolidated affiliates and a $16 million one-time cash payment related to the 2021 Notes (as defined below). Net interest paid of $65 million in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to net interest paid of $15 million in the same period of 2020 resulted from a shift to semi-annual interest payments with the issuance of $6 billion of senior unsecured notes completed in September 2020.

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.
Summary of Recent Royalty Acquisition Activity
Liquidity and Capital Resources
2021 Financial Outlook
Royalty Pharma has provided guidance for full-year 2021 as follows:
Provided November 10, 2021 | |
Adjusted Cash Receipts(1) (non-GAAP) excluding new transactions announced after the date of this release | $2,110 million to $2,130 million (previously $2,080 million to $2,120 million) |
Royalty Pharma also expects that payments for operating and professional costs will be approximately 9% of Adjusted Cash Receipts in 2021.
Royalty Pharma expects interest paid to be approximately $130 million for the full year of 2021. Based on the semi-annual interest payment schedule of Royalty Pharma’s existing bonds, interest paid is anticipated to be a de minimis amount recorded in the fourth quarter. The projection assumes no additional debt financing in 2021.
Royalty Pharma expects to make its first semi-annual interest payment on the 2021 Notes in March 2022, resulting in total expected interest paid to be approximately $170 million in 2022.
Royalty Pharma today provides this guidance based on its most up-to-date view on 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.
Royalty Pharma has not reconciled its non-GAAP 2021 guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net cash provided by operating activities, at this time due to the inherent difficulty in accurately forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including, primarily, payments for operating and professional costs, distributions from non-consolidated affiliates and interest received. Royalty Pharma is not able to forecast on a GAAP basis with reasonable certainty all adjustments needed in order to project net cash provided by operating activities at this time.

About Royalty Pharma
Founded in 1996, Royalty Pharma is the largest buyer of biopharmaceutical royalties and a leading funder of innovation across the biopharmaceutical industry, collaborating with innovators from academic institutions, research hospitals and not-for-profits through small and mid-cap biotechnology companies to leading global pharmaceutical companies. Royalty Pharma has assembled a portfolio of royalties which entitles it to payments based directly on the top-line sales of many of the industry’s leading therapies. Royalty Pharma funds innovation in the biopharmaceutical industry both directly and indirectly - directly when it partners with companies to co-fund late-stage clinical trials and new product launches in exchange for future royalties, and indirectly when it acquires existing royalties from the original innovators. Royalty Pharma’s current portfolio includes royalties on more than 45 commercial products, including AbbVie and Johnson & Johnson’s Imbruvica, Astellas’ and Pfizer’s Xtandi, Biogen’s Tysabri, Johnson & Johnson’s Tremfya, Gilead’s Trodelvy, Merck’s Januvia, Novartis’ Promacta, Vertex’s Kalydeco, Orkambi, Symdeko and Trikafta, and nine development-stage product candidates.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Cash Receipts, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures presented as supplemental measures to Royalty Pharma's GAAP financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. In each case, because operating performance is a function of liquidity, the non-GAAP measures used by management are presented and defined as supplemental liquidity measures. Royalty Pharma cautions readers that amounts presented in accordance with the definitions of Adjusted Cash Receipts, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Cash Flow may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies. Not all companies and analysts calculate the non-GAAP measures Royalty Pharma uses in the same manner. Royalty Pharma compensates for these limitations by using non-GAAP financial measures as supplements to GAAP financial measures and by presenting the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measures, in each case being net cash provided by operating activities.
Royalty Pharma believes that Adjusted Cash Receipts and Adjusted Cash Flow provide meaningful information about its operating performance because the business is heavily reliant on its ability to generate consistent cash flows and these measures reflect the core cash collections and cash charges comprising its operating results. Management strongly believes that Royalty Pharma's significant operating cash flow is one of the attributes that attracts potential investors to its business.
In addition, Royalty Pharma believes that Adjusted Cash Receipts and Adjusted Cash Flow help identify underlying trends in the business and permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses the performance of the company, including planning and forecasting for future periods. Adjusted Cash Receipts and Adjusted Cash Flow are used by management as key liquidity measures in the evaluation of the company’s ability to generate cash from operations. Both measures are an indication of the strength of the company and the performance of the business. Management uses Adjusted Cash Receipts and Adjusted Cash Flow when considering available cash, including for decision-making purposes related to funding of acquisitions, voluntary debt repayments, dividends and other discretionary investments. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures help management, the audit committee and investors evaluate the company’s ability to generate liquidity from operating activities.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important non-GAAP measure in analyzing liquidity and is a key component of certain material covenants contained within the company’s credit agreement. Noncompliance with the interest coverage ratio and leverage 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 financial 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 is critical to the assessment of Royalty Pharma's liquidity.
Management uses Adjusted Cash Flow to evaluate its ability to generate cash and performance of the business and to evaluate the company’s performance as compared to its peer group. Management also uses Adjusted Cash Flow to compare its performance against non-GAAP adjusted net income measures used by many companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, even though each company may customize its own calculation and therefore one company’s metric may not be directly comparable to another’s. Royalty Pharma believes that non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Cash Flow, are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in Royalty Pharma's industry.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release 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 company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure, except for its non-GAAP outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, in each case being net cash provided by operating activities at Table 5.

Notes
(1) Adjusted Cash Receipts is a measure calculated with inputs directly from the Statement of Cash Flows and includes (1) royalty receipts: (i) cash collections from royalty assets (financial assets and intangible assets), (ii) Other royalty cash collections, (iii) Distributions from non-consolidated affiliates, plus (2) Proceeds from available for sale debt securities, and less (3) Distributions to non-controlling interest, which represents contractual distributions to historical non-controlling interest attributable to a de minimis interest in RPCT held by certain legacy investors and to a new non-controlling interest that was created as a result of the Exchange Offer Transactions in February 2020 related to the Legacy Investors Partnerships’ ownership of approximately 18% in Old RPI. See Royalty Pharma’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021 for additional discussion. See GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation at Table 5.
(2) Adjusted Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less (1) Ongoing development-stage funding payments, (2) interest paid, net of interest received, (3) other (including Derivative collateral posted, net of Derivative collateral received and Termination payments on derivative instruments) and (4) Investments in non-consolidated affiliates, and plus (1) Contributions from non-controlling interest- R&D, all directly reconcilable to the Statement of Cash Flows. See GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation at Table 5.
(3) Other products primarily include royalties on the following products: Letairis, Lyrica, Cimzia, Entyvio, Lexiscan, Myozyme, Mircera, Nesina, Soliqua and contributions from the Legacy SLP Interest. In the three month period ended September 30, 2021, we collected a one-time $45.0 million milestone payment on Soliqua.
(4) Adjusted EBITDA is important to lenders and is defined under the credit agreement as Adjusted Cash Receipts less payments for operating and professional costs. Operating and professional costs are comprised of Payments for operating and professional costs from the Statement of Cash Flows. See GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation at Table 5.
(5) Receipts from the redemption of Royalty Pharma’s Series A Biohaven Preferred Shares are presented as Proceeds from available for sale debt securities on the Statement of Cash Flows.
(6) The table below shows the line item for each adjustment and the direct location for such line item on the Statement of Cash Flows.
Reconciling adjustment | Statement of Cash Flows classification |
Proceeds from available for sale debt securities | Investing activities |
Investments in non-consolidated affiliates | Investing activities |
Distributions to non-controlling interest | Financing activities |
Interest paid, net | Operating activities (Interest paid less Interest received) |
Derivative collateral received, net | Operating activities (Derivative collateral received less Derivative collateral posted) |
Contributions from non-controlling interest- R&D | Financing activities |
(7) Royalty Pharma’s lenders consider all payments made to support R&D activities for products undergoing late-stage development similar to asset acquisitions as these funds are expected to generate operational returns in the future. All ongoing and upfront development-stage funding payments are reported in R&D funding expense in net income and are added back in aggregate to Net cash provided by operating activities to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA. As a result, Adjusted EBITDA captures the full add-back for R&D funding payments while Adjusted Cash Flow only reflects the add-back for the upfront portion of development-stage funding payments due to the fact that ongoing development-stage funding payments are considered an ongoing business expense.
(8) Royalty Pharma considers all payments to fund its operating joint ventures that are performing R&D activities for products undergoing late stage development similar to asset acquisitions as these funds are expected to generate operational returns in the future. As a result, amounts funded through capital calls by Royalty Pharma’s equity method investees, the Avillion entities, are deducted to arrive at Adjusted Cash Flow, but are not deducted in Adjusted EBITDA.
(9) To aid in comparability in the calculation of year/year growth, reported Adjusted Cash Flow for each quarterly period in 2020 is compared against pro forma Adjusted Cash Flow for the corresponding quarter in 2019, which adjusts certain cash flow line items as if Royalty Pharma’s Reorganization Transactions (as described in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the SEC on June 17, 2020 (‘Prospectus’)) and its initial public offering (IPO) had taken place on January 1, 2019. The most significant difference between the pro forma and reported figures is the new non-controlling interest that resulted from the Reorganization Transactions. A new contractual non-controlling interest arose in the Reorganization transaction that results in a higher distribution to non-controlling interests on a pro forma basis as compared to prior historical periods. Less material differences also arise in the Royalty Receipts line for ‘Other products’ as well as Payments for operating and professional costs, and interest paid, net.
