FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2007--Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:GILD) announced today its results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Total revenues for the third quarter of 2007 were $1.06 billion, up 41 percent compared to total revenues of $748.7 million for the third quarter of 2006. Net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $398.3 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, including after-tax stock-based compensation expense of $31.8 million. Excluding after-tax stock-based compensation expense, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2007 was $430.1 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $329.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2006, which excluded after-tax stock-based compensation expense of $25.6 million and purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D) of $355.6 million.
Product Sales
Product sales were a record $961.9 million for the third quarter of 2007, compared to $670.1 million in the third quarter of 2006, a 44 percent increase. This growth was driven primarily by Gilead's HIV product franchise, including the continued strong uptake of Atripla(R) (efavirenz 600 mg/ emtricitabine 200 mg/ tenofovir disoproxil fumarate 300 mg) in the United States as well as the strong growth of Truvada(R) (emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) in Europe. Hepsera(R) (adefovir dipivoxil) and AmBisome(R) (amphotericin B) liposome for injection also experienced solid sales growth compared to the same quarter last year.
HIV Franchise
HIV product sales were $805.8 million in the third quarter of 2007, a 45 percent increase from $557.3 million for the same period in 2006, driven primarily by the sales volume growth in Truvada and Atripla.
-- Truvada
Truvada sales were $409.1 million for the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 32 percent from $309.0 million in the third quarter of 2006. Truvada sales accounted for approximately 51 percent of our total HIV product sales and approximately 43 percent of Gilead's total product sales in the third quarter of 2007.
-- Atripla
Atripla sales were $241.1 million in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of 14 percent from $212.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 and more than triple the $68.4 million recorded in the third quarter of 2006, when sales of Atripla first commenced in the United States.
-- Viread
Sales of Viread(R) (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) were $149.1 million in the third quarter of 2007, a 13 percent decrease from $170.6 million in the third quarter of 2006.
-- Emtriva
Emtriva(R) (emtricitabine) sales were $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2007, a decrease of 30 percent from $9.3 million in the third quarter of 2006.
Hepsera for Chronic Hepatitis B
Hepsera sales were $79.3 million for the third quarter of 2007, a 44 percent increase from $55.1 million in the third quarter of 2006, driven primarily by sales volume growth in the United States and Europe.
AmBisome for Severe Fungal Infections
Sales of AmBisome for the third quarter of 2007 were $68.5 million, an increase of 24 percent from $55.3 million for the third quarter of 2006, driven primarily by sales volume growth across European territories and Australia as well as a favorable foreign currency exchange impact.
Royalty, Contract and Other Revenues
For the third quarter of 2007, royalty, contract and other revenues resulting primarily from collaborations with corporate partners were $96.9 million, an increase of 23 percent from $78.7 million in the third quarter of 2006. The increase was driven primarily by the recognition of Tamiflu(R) (oseltamivir phosphate) royalties from F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd (Roche) of $77.4 million, compared to Tamiflu royalties of $62.7 million recognized in the third quarter of 2006, due to the higher Tamiflu sales recorded by Roche during the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
Research and Development
Research and development (R&D) expenses in the third quarter of 2007 were $140.4 million compared to $93.3 million for the same quarter in 2006. Non-GAAP R&D expenses, which exclude stock-based compensation expense, for the third quarter of 2007 were $122.0 million, compared to $80.0 million for the same quarter in 2006. Non-GAAP R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2007 were higher primarily as a result of increased compensation and benefits related to higher headcount, as well as increased clinical study expenses related to Gilead's respiratory and cardiovascular franchises, which were acquired in the latter part of 2006.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the third quarter of 2007 were $173.0 million compared to $132.5 million for the same quarter in 2006. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses, which exclude stock-based compensation expense, for the third quarter of 2007 were $148.4 million, compared to $116.6 million for the same quarter in 2006. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2007 were higher primarily as a result of increased compensation and benefits related to increased headcount, increased marketing and promotional expenses as well as other consulting and support services expenses related to our cardiovascular franchise.
Net Foreign Exchange Impact on Pre-Tax Earnings
The net foreign exchange impact on third quarter 2007 pre-tax earnings, including revenues and expenses generated from outside the United States and impact of our hedging activities, was a favorable $17.4 million compared to the same quarter in 2006, due primarily to the stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
As of September 30, 2007, Gilead had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $2.22 billion compared to $1.39 billion as of December 31, 2006. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was primarily attributable to $1.25 billion of operating cash flows generated during the first nine months of 2007, partially offset by the Gilead's repurchase of $454.9 million of its common stock under its stock repurchase program during the second quarter of 2007.
Product and Pipeline Highlights
Antiviral Franchise
In July 2007, Gilead announced the presentation of 144-week data from an ongoing clinical trial, Study 934, comparing a once-daily regimen of Truvada and Sustiva(R) (efavirenz) to a twice-daily regimen of Combivir(R) (lamivudine/zidovudine) with Sustiva once daily in treatment-naive adults with HIV. These data were presented in July 2007 at the 4th International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention in Sydney, Australia by Jose Arribas, MD, of the University Hospital La Paz, Madrid, Spain (Poster #WEPEB029).
Cardiovascular Franchise
In September 2007, Gilead announced that data from a Phase IIb study (DAR-201) of darusentan, an investigational treatment for resistant hypertension, were published in the October 2007 edition of the Journal of Clinical Hypertension. In this study, darusentan was evaluated as an add-on antihypertensive treatment in patients who had not achieved goal blood pressure while being treated with full doses of three or more antihypertensive medications, including a diuretic. Preliminary data from this study were previously presented at the 55th Annual Scientific Session of the American College of Cardiology Conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
Respiratory Franchise
In August 2007, Gilead entered into an exclusive licensing and co-development agreement for P-680, an epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) inhibitor discovered by privately-held Parion Sciences, Inc. The agreement grants Gilead worldwide commercialization rights to P-680 for the treatment of pulmonary diseases, including cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and non-CF bronchiectasis. In addition, under the agreement, the companies will collaborate on a research program to identify other promising ENaC blocker-based drug candidates utilizing Parion's proprietary ENaC-based chemistry platform.
