Innoviva Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results and Highlights Recent Company Progress

BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 9, 2022--

Innoviva, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVA) (“Innoviva” and “the Company”), a diversified holding company with a portfolio of royalties and other healthcare assets, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

• Gross royalty revenues of $65.6 million from Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”) for the third quarter of 2022 included royalties of $55.7 million from global net sales of RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® and royalties of $9.9 million from global net sales of ANORO ® ELLIPTA ®.
• Income before income taxes increased to $286.4 million, compared to $123.2 million the same quarter in 2021, primarily due to the gain from the sale of 15% ownership interest in TRC.
• Increase in fair values of equity and long-term investments of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 was mainly due to the volatility in the capital markets.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $192.8 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $265.4 million in the same period of 2021.
• Net cash and cash equivalents totaled $300.8 million, and royalty and product sale receivables totaled $72.3 million as of September 30, 2022.

Pavel Raifeld, Chief Executive Officer of Innoviva, Inc., stated: “Our diversified core royalty business continues to perform well and deliver strong revenues despite challenging market conditions. RELVAR ® /BREO ® ELLIPTA ® global net sales grew slightly compared to third quarter 2021 with U.S. net sales growth compensating for foreign currency changes and a slowdown in non-U.S. markets. ANORO ® ELLIPTA ® global net sales decreased by 15% compared to third quarter of 2021 mainly due to pricing pressures and foreign currency changes."

Mr. Raifeld continued: “Over the past quarter, we significantly advanced our strategy with the acquisitions of Entasis and La Jolla, giving us a strong footprint in the hospital and infectious disease space with an attractive growth outlook rooted in a robust portfolio of marketed and pipeline products. Our financials have started to reflect the growing complexity of our business given the newly acquired operating platform which we believe has excellent value creation potential.”

“We remain committed to a disciplined, thoughtful, and thorough approach to capital allocation. The new share repurchase program underscores our confidence in Innoviva’s prospects and value embedded within our business, supported by the strength of our balance sheet and cashflows, as we seek to take advantage of market dislocations. We explore all avenues in our efforts to create shareholder value,” concluded Mr. Raifeld.

The timing and amount of any share repurchases under the share repurchase program will be determined by Innoviva’s management in its discretion based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of Innoviva’s common stock, prevailing stock prices, general market conditions and other considerations. Share repurchases under the program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, exchange transactions, or any combination thereof or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws.
