Gilead Sciences Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2003 Financial Results
FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 29, 2004--Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:GILD)
-- Full Year Product Sales of $836 Million, Up 97 Percent over
2002
-- Fourth Quarter Viread Sales of $177 Million, Up 108 Percent
over 2002
-- Fourth Quarter Operating Cash Flow of $99.9 Million
Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:GILD) announced today its results of operations for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2003. Total revenues for the fourth quarter were $263.5 million, up 82 percent, compared to total revenues of $145.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2002. Net income for the fourth quarter 2003 was $192.6 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, compared to net income of $35.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2002.
During the fourth quarter of 2003, Gilead recorded non-cash asset impairment charges and write-downs of $10.9 million. These non-cash charges were primarily driven by the decision to terminate liposomal research and development activities and discontinue the DaunoXome product line. In addition, Gilead recorded a one-time income tax benefit of $111.6 million related to the reduction of the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets. Excluding these two items, non-GAAP net income grew 158 percent to $91.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2003 compared to the fourth quarter of 2002.
Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter of 2003 was a record $99.9 million, compared to operating cash flow of $35.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2002 and $54.3 million for the third quarter of 2003. This marked Gilead's seventh consecutive quarter of positive cash flow from operations. Operating cash flow for the full year was $234.6 million, compared to operating cash flow of $74.4 million for the full year 2002.
Net revenues from product sales totaled $255.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2003, up 84 percent from the fourth quarter of 2002. This growth was driven primarily by higher product sales from Viread(R) (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate). Sales of Viread were $176.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, up from $85.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2002, an increase of 108 percent. U.S. sales of Viread were $112.0 million, and sales outside the United States totaled $64.8 million. Viread sales growth was driven by higher prescription volumes in both the United States and Europe and by an increase in U.S. wholesaler inventory levels. Gilead believes that the increase in inventory levels during the fourth quarter 2003 was driven in part by what we believe was a recovery from what appeared to be low levels at the end of the third quarter as well as some speculative purchasing in excess of end-user demand. Gilead anticipates that it may continue to experience quarter to quarter fluctuations in Viread sales in the United States as a result of wholesaler purchasing patterns. In addition, reported Viread sales in the fourth quarter of 2003 were $6.6 million higher due to the favorable European currency environment compared to the same quarter last year. AmBisome(R) (amphotericin B) liposome for injection sales for the fourth quarter of 2003 were $54.5 million, an increase of 10 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2002. Reported AmBisome sales in the fourth quarter of 2003 were $4.0 million higher due to the favorable currency environment compared to the same quarter last year. On a volume basis, AmBisome sales decreased by 1 percent in Europe compared to the fourth quarter of 2002. Sales of Hepsera(R) (adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg) totaled $15.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2003, slightly lower than the $16.4 million in the third quarter of 2003. This decrease was primarily driven by reductions in U.S. wholesaler inventory levels during the fourth quarter which were partially offset by quarter over quarter prescription growth of 18 percent. Sales of Emtriva(TM) (emtricitabine) were $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2003.
"Gilead delivered excellent financial results in the fourth quarter and full year 2003, achieving our key financial goals and generating record product sales and operating cash flow," said John C. Martin, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Gilead Sciences. "This is evidence of the strong performance of our anti-infective product portfolio and our commitment to fiscal responsibility and delivering solid returns to our shareholders."
For the fourth quarter of 2003, royalty and contract revenues resulting from collaborations with corporate partners totaled $7.9 million, compared to $5.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2002. These revenues primarily relate to royalties on sales of AmBisome in the United States by Gilead's co-promotion partner Fujisawa Healthcare and royalties on sales of Tamiflu(R) (oseltamivir phosphate) by F. Hoffmann-La Roche.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2003 were $53.3 million, compared to $35.0 million for the same quarter in 2002. The higher expenses during the fourth quarter of 2003 are primarily attributable to increased headcount, costs associated with the development of the co-formulation of Viread and Emtriva, and research spending on prodrug technology.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2003 were $78.8 million, compared to $57.6 million for the same quarter of 2002. The increase in expenses is due primarily to increased global marketing efforts, launch costs for Emtriva and Hepsera and the expansion of Gilead's U.S. and European sales forces.
The net foreign exchange impact on earnings, including revenue and expenses generated from outside the United States, as well as hedging activity for the fourth quarter of 2003, was a favorable $4.0 million compared to the same quarter of 2002 due primarily to a strengthening Euro relative to the U.S. dollar.
Full Year 2003 Financial Results
Gilead also reported its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003. The company recorded product sales of $836.3 million and aggregate contract and royalty revenues of $31.5 million. Sales of Viread for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $566.5 million, up 151 percent from $225.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2002. Reported Viread sales in 2003 were $21.9 million higher due to the favorable currency environment compared to 2002. AmBisome sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $198.3 million, a 7 percent increase over the year ended December 31, 2002. Reported AmBisome sales for 2003 were $21.7 million higher due to the favorable currency environment compared to last year. On a volume basis, AmBisome sales decreased by 5 percent in Europe compared to 2002. Total net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $867.9 million, an increase of 86 percent compared to total net revenues of $466.8 million in 2002. Total net revenues for 2002 included product sales of $423.9 million and aggregate contract and royalty revenues of $42.9 million.
Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $72.0 million, or $0.36 per share, including a charge of $488.6 million for in-process research and development associated with the acquisition of Triangle in the first quarter, a $13.2 million reimbursement of research and development expenses from the settlement of a contractual dispute with a vendor recorded during the third quarter, the $10.9 million asset impairment charges and write-downs, and the $111.6 million income tax benefit recorded during the fourth quarter. Excluding these items, non-GAAP earnings would have been $302.8 million, or $1.41 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2003, which includes the impact of dilutive stock options and convertible debt. This compares to GAAP net income of $72.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2002, which includes a one-time non-operating loss of $16.0 million realized upon the third quarter 2002 sale of Gilead's shares in OSI Pharmaceuticals.
Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $164.9 million, or $178.1 million excluding the $13.2 million reimbursement, compared to $134.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The higher expenses during 2003 are primarily attributable to increased headcount and the clinical trials associated with the development of Emtriva and the co-formulation of Viread and Emtriva.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $250.2 million compared to $181.3 million for 2002. The significant increase in expenses is primarily due to Gilead's increased global marketing efforts, the expansion of Gilead's U.S. and European sales forces and increased infrastructure investments required to support the growth of the business.
As of December 31, 2003, the company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $707.0 million, compared to $942.4 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities is primarily attributable to the acquisition of Triangle in the first quarter of 2003 and the purchase of our Foster City campus in the third quarter of 2003, partially offset by the generation of $234.6 million of operating cash flow.
The net foreign exchange impact on earnings, including revenue and expenses generated from outside the United States, as well as hedging activity for 2003, was a favorable $22.6 million compared to 2002 due primarily to a strengthening Euro relative to the U.S. dollar.
Corporate Highlights
In late October, Gilead's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the company's Stockholder Rights Plan. The amendment provided, among other things, for an increase in the exercise price of the rights under the Rights Plan from $100 (after adjusting for two 2-for-1 stock splits) to $400 and an extension of the term of the Rights Plan to October 27, 2013.
In December, the company announced that it had completed the redemption of its 5% convertible subordinated notes due 2007. Gilead called for the full redemption of the outstanding notes on November 20, 2003. The completion of this redemption reduced Gilead's long-term debt by $250 million and resulted in the issuance of 10,178,098 shares of common stock upon conversion of the notes.
Also in December, Gilead announced that it had filed a universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the registration and potential issuance of up to $500 million of Gilead securities.
Product and Pipeline Highlights
"Several events occurred during the fourth quarter of 2003 that underscore the continuing momentum of our HIV franchise, both in the United States and abroad," said Dr. Martin. "We were very pleased with the centralized approval of Emtriva in the European Union during the quarter and have since launched the product in the United Kingdom, Germany and France."
"In addition, the development of the once-daily co-formulation of Viread and Emtriva continues on schedule, and we expect to file for approval of this important product in the first half of this year. We also are advancing our proprietary prodrug technology by filing an investigational new drug application (IND) with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for our novel HIV protease inhibitor GS 9005 and continuing the clinical development of GS 7340, a novel amidate prodrug of tenofovir, based on favorable Phase I/II results."
HIV/AIDS Franchise
On October 28, 2003, Gilead announced that the European Commission granted Marketing Authorisation for Emtriva in all 15 member states of the European Union. Emtriva is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) for the treatment of HIV infection, and is dosed as a single capsule taken once a day as part of combination therapy.
In December, the company submitted an IND to the FDA to evaluate GS 9005 (formerly known as GS 4338) as a potential new therapy for HIV. GS 9005 utilizes the company's novel prodrug technology, which allows a drug to preferentially target lymphocytes, the primary site of HIV replication. This technology has been evaluated through the development of GS 7340, an investigational anti-HIV compound in Phase I/II development. GS 7340 is a prodrug of tenofovir, the active agent in the company's HIV drug Viread. Positive results from an early clinical study of GS 7340 provided validation of this technology, which Gilead plans to apply to other HIV product candidates and drugs in other therapeutic categories that involve the lymphatic system.
Hepatitis B Franchise
In October, Gilead continued the European launch of Hepsera for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B with product introductions in Spain and Austria. Hepsera is now commercially available in the United States and 10 countries in Europe, and in Hong Kong and Singapore, through Gilead's commercialization partner GlaxoSmithKline.
In late October, the company announced positive 144-week data for Hepsera in patients co-infected with HIV and lamivudine-resistant HBV. The data were presented at the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) in Boston.
In November, Gilead announced positive preliminary results from a 48-week phase III study of emtricitabine in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Gilead is continuing to evaluate the development path for this indication.

Notes:
(1) During the fourth quarter of 2003, Gilead recorded non-cash
impairment charges against certain long-lived assets of $10.2 million
and $0.7 million related to other asset write-downs charged to cost of
goods sold. These charges were primarily driven by the decision to
terminate liposomal research and development activities and
discontinue the DaunoXome product line. In addition, Gilead recorded
an income tax benefit of $111.6 million related to the reduction of
the valuation allowance on certain of our net deferred tax assets.
(2) In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128, using the If-Converted Method, interest expense of $2.7
million related to convertible debt has been added back to net income
for purposes of calculating diluted net income per share for the
quarter ended December 31, 2003. The shares used in the calculation of
net income per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2003
includes the effect of 9.7 million stock options outstanding, the
effect of the $345.0 million 2% convertible senior debt, which
converts to approximately 7.3 million shares, and the effect of the
$250.0 million 5% convertible subordinated debt, which was redeemed by
us and converted to approximately 10.2 million shares in December
2003. The diluted per share calculation for the year ended December
31, 2003 does not include the effect of outstanding stock options or
the convertible debt as they were antidilutive. The diluted per share
calculations for the three months and year ended December 31, 2002 did
not include the effect of the convertible debt as it was antidilutive.

Notes:
(1) The adjustments reflect the first quarter in-process research
and development charge of $488.6 million from the Triangle
acquisition, and the third quarter reimbursement to Gilead of $13.2
million of research and development expenses resulting from the
settlement of a contractual dispute with a vendor. These adjustments
also reflect the fourth quarter non-cash impairment charges against
certain long-lived assets of $10.2 million and $0.7 million related to
other asset write-downs. These fourth quarter charges were primarily
driven by the decision to terminate liposomal research and development
activities and discontinue the DaunoXome product line. In addition,
during the fourth quarter, Gilead recorded an income tax benefit of
$111.6 million related to the reduction of the valuation allowance on
certain of our net deferred tax assets.
(2) The non-GAAP results for the year ended December 31, 2002
exclude the $16.0 million non-operating loss realized upon the third
quarter 2002 sale of Gilead's shares in OSI Pharmaceuticals. Diluted
net income per share on a GAAP basis was $0.35 for the year ended
December 31, 2002.
