with ARYA IV Resulting in the Launch of Caritas Therapeutics in Late 2021/Early 2022

 

Conference Call and Webcast Today at 8:30 a.m. ET

 

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Nov. 9, 2021 Amicus Therapeutics (Nasdaq: FOLD), a patient-dedicated global biotechnology company focused on discovering, developing, and delivering novel medicines for rare diseases, today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

 

“In the second half of 2021, we have furthered our mission for people living with devastating rare diseases through the commercial execution of Galafold and advancement of the global regulatory filings and launch preparations for AT-GAA,” stated, John F. Crowley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. “As previously announced, our teams are proceeding with the business combination of our leading gene therapy portfolio with ARYA IV to launch Caritas Therapeutics, a next-generation genetic medicines company. This transaction will serve patients and shareholders well by accelerating funding for our gene therapy pipeline, while simultaneously strengthening the financial profile of Amicus. We are immensely excited for what the future of science and biotechnology holds as we accelerate our commitment to extraordinary patient dedication.”

 

Corporate Highlights

 

·Global revenue for Galafold® (migalastat) in the third quarter of 2021 reached $79.5 million, representing a year-over-year increase of 18% from total revenue of $67.4 million in the third quarter of 2020.

 

·Long-term Galafold data published in the September 2021 Issue of Molecular Genetics and Metabolism Reports showing generally stable renal function in patients with an amenable variant during long-term treatment, up to 8.6 years, of Galafold, irrespective of treatment status, gender or phenotype.

 

·U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review the Biologics License Application (BLA) for cipaglucosidase alfa and the New Drug Application (NDA) for miglustat, the two components of AT-GAA. The FDA has set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of May 29, 2022 for the NDA and July 29, 2022 for the BLA.

 

·Marketing Authorization Applications (MAA) submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for AT-GAA in Pompe disease. The filings are based on the evaluation of the effects of AT-GAA in people living with Pompe disease and its safety profile, which include data from the Phase 1/2 and Phase 3 PROPEL studies as well as data from the long-term open-label extension study.

 

·Amicus and ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV (“ARYA IV”), a special purpose acquisition company, announced their intent to launch a next-generation genetic medicine company, Caritas Therapeutics, Inc. Through a definitive business combination agreement, the Amicus gene therapy business will be acquired by ARYA IV. The transaction will result in two independent publicly traded companies with attractive stand-alone investment profiles. Amicus will become the largest shareholder in Caritas with a ~36% ownership stake (assuming no redemptions by ARYA’s shareholders) and retain co-development and commercialization rights to the Fabry and Pompe gene therapy programs, as well as negotiation rights on select future muscular dystrophy programs. The Form S-4 is now filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the launch of Caritas Therapeutics is expected in late 2021 or early 2022.

 

·Cash position sufficient to achieve self-sustainability and profitability in 2023. Following the transaction with ARYA IV, the previously announced ~$200 million private investment from leading biotechnology investors, and through careful management of expenses, the Company is on the path to achieve self-sustainability and profitability by 2023 as it executes on the global Galafold launch and AT-GAA global regulatory filings.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

 

·Total revenue in the third quarter of 2021 was $79.5 million, a year-over-year increase of 18% from total revenue of $67.4 million in the third quarter of 2020. On a constant currency basis, third quarter 2021 total revenue was $78.5 million, representing operational revenue growth measured at constant currency exchange rates of 16.5%. Reported revenue was aided by a positive currency impact of $1.0 million, or 1.5%.

 

·Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $557.0 million at September 30, 2021, compared to $483.3 million at December 31, 2020.

 

·Total GAAP operating expenses of $110.2 million for the third quarter of 2021 decreased as compared to $111.8 million for the third quarter 2020, reflecting the timing of investments in our pipeline.

 

·Total non-GAAP operating expenses of $93.6 million for the third quarter of 2021 increase as compared to $92.4 million in the third quarter of 2020.1

 

·Net loss was reduced to $50.3 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to a net loss of $64.0 million, or $0.25 per share, for the third quarter 2020.

 

1 Full reconciliation of GAAP results to the Company’s non-GAAP adjusted measures for all reporting periods appear in the tables to this press release.

 

2021 Financial Guidance

 

·For the full-year 2021, the Company anticipates total Galafold revenue of $300 million to $315 million. Double-digit revenue growth in 2021 is expected to be driven by continued operational growth and commercial execution across all major markets, including the U.S., EU, UK and Japan.

 

·Non-GAAP operating expense guidance for the full-year 2021 is $410 million to $420 million, driven by continued investment in the global Galafold launch, AT-GAA clinical studies and pre-launch activities, and advancing our gene therapy pipeline.2

 

·Based on current operating models, the Company believes that the current cash position and expected future revenues are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and ongoing research programs through to self-sustainability.

 

2 A reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectation and the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure.

About Galafold 

 

Galafold® (migalastat) 123 mg capsules is an oral pharmacological chaperone of alpha-Galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A) for the treatment of Fabry disease in adults who have amenable galactosidase alpha gene (GLA) variants. In these patients, Galafold works by stabilizing the body’s own dysfunctional enzyme so that it can clear the accumulation of disease substrate. Globally, Amicus Therapeutics estimates that approximately 35 to 50 percent of Fabry patients may have amenable GLA variants, though amenability rates within this range vary by geography. Galafold is approved in over 40 countries around the world, including the U.S., EU, U.K., Japan and others.

 

U.S. INDICATIONS AND USAGE

 

Galafold is indicated for the treatment of adults with a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease and an amenable galactosidase alpha gene (GLA) variant based on in vitro assay data.

 

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on reduction in kidney interstitial capillary cell globotriaosylceramide (KIC GL-3) substrate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

 

U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

 

ADVERSE REACTIONS

 

The most common adverse reactions reported with Galafold (≥10%) were headache, nasopharyngitis, urinary tract infection, nausea and pyrexia.

 

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

 

There is insufficient clinical data on Galafold use in pregnant women to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. Advise women of the potential risk to a fetus.

 

It is not known if Galafold is present in human milk. Therefore, the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for Galafold and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from Galafold or from the underlying maternal condition.

 

Galafold is not recommended for use in patients with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis.

 

The safety and effectiveness of Galafold have not been established in pediatric patients.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release also contains adjusted financial measures that we believe provide investors and management with supplemental information relating to operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information. These adjusted financial measures are non-GAAP measures and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We typically exclude certain GAAP items that management does not believe affect our basic operations and that do not meet the GAAP definition of unusual or non-recurring items. Other companies may define these measures in different ways. Full reconciliations of GAAP results to the comparable non-GAAP measures for the reported periods appear in the financial tables section of this press release. When we provide our expectation for non-GAAP operating expenses on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectation and the corresponding GAAP measure generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains or losses. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates, the timing and reporting of results from preclinical studies and clinical trials, the prospects and timing of the potential regulatory approval of our product candidates, commercialization plans, manufacturing and supply plans, financing plans, and the projected revenues and cash position for the Company. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us that any of our plans will be achieved. Any or all of the forward-looking statements in this press release may turn out to be wrong and can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. For example, with respect to statements regarding the goals, progress, timing, and outcomes of discussions with regulatory authorities, and in particular the potential goals, progress, timing, and results of preclinical studies and clinical trials, and revenue goals, including as they are impacted by COVID-19 related disruption, are based on current information. The potential impact on operations and/or revenue from the COVID-19 pandemic is inherently unknown and cannot be predicted with confidence and may cause actual results and performance to differ materially from the statements in this release, including without limitation, because of the impact on general political and economic conditions, including as a result of efforts by governmental authorities to mitigate COVID-19, such as travel bans, shelter in place orders and third-party business closures and resource allocations, manufacturing and supply chain disruptions and limitations on patient access to commercial or clinical product or to treatment sites. In addition to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in this release due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, including, without limitation: the potential that results of clinical or preclinical studies indicate that the product candidates are unsafe or ineffective; the potential that it may be difficult to enroll patients in our clinical trials; the potential that regulatory authorities, including the FDA, EMA, and PMDA, may not grant or may delay approval for our product candidates; the potential that we may not be successful in commercializing Galafold in Europe, UK, Japan, the US and other geographies or our other product candidates if and when approved; the potential that preclinical and clinical studies could be delayed because we identify serious side effects or other safety issues; the potential that we may not be able to manufacture or supply sufficient clinical or commercial products; and the potential that we will need additional funding to complete all of our studies, commercialization and manufacturing. Further, the results of earlier preclinical studies and/or clinical trials may not be predictive of future results. With respect to statements regarding corporate financial guidance and financial goals and the attainment of such goals and statements regarding projections of the Company's revenue and cash position, actual results may differ based on market factors and the Company's ability to execute its operational and budget plans. In addition, all forward-looking statements are subject to other risks detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Quarterly Report 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, to be filed today. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update this news release to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.

2 Forward - Looking Statements Introduction This presentation contains "forward - looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates, the timing and reporting of results from preclinical studies and clinical trials, the prospects and timing of the potential regulatory approval of our product candidates, commercialization plans, manufacturing and supply plans, financing plans, and the projected revenues and cash position for the Company . The inclusion of forward - looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us that any of our plans will be achieved . Any or all of the forward - looking statements in this presentation may turn out to be wrong and can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties . For example, with respect to statements regarding the goals, progress, timing, and outcomes of discussions with regulatory authorities, and in particular the potential goals, progress, timing, and results of preclinical studies and clinical trials, and revenue goals, including as they are impacted by COVID - 19 related disruption, are based on current information . The potential impact on operations and/or revenue from the COVID - 19 pandemic is inherently unknown and cannot be predicted with confidence and may cause actual results and performance to differ materially from the statements in this release, including without limitation, because of the impact on general political and economic conditions, including as a result of efforts by governmental authorities to mitigate COVID - 19 , such as travel bans, shelter in place orders and third - party business closures and resource allocations, manufacturing and supply chain disruptions and limitations on patient access to commercial or clinical product or to treatment sites . In addition to the impact of the COVID - 19 pandemic, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in this release due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, including, without limitation : the potential that results of clinical or preclinical studies indicate that the product candidates are unsafe or ineffective ; the potential that it may be difficult to enroll patients in our clinical trials ; the potential that regulatory authorities, including the FDA, EMA, and PMDA, may not grant or may delay approval for our product candidates ; the potential that we may not be successful in commercializing Galafold in Europe, UK, Japan, the US and other geographies or our other product candidates if and when approved ; the potential that preclinical and clinical studies could be delayed because we identify serious side effects or other safety issues ; the potential that we may not be able to manufacture or supply sufficient clinical or commercial products ; and the potential that we will need additional funding to complete all of our studies, commercialization and manufacturing . Further, the results of earlier preclinical studies and/or clinical trials may not be predictive of future results . With respect to statements regarding corporate financial guidance and financial goals and the attainment of such goals and statements regarding projections of the Company's revenue and cash position, actual results may differ based on market factors and the Company's ability to execute its operational and budget plans . In addition, all forward - looking statements are subject to other risks detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the year ended December 31 , 2020 , and on Form 10 - Q for the quarter ended September 30 , 2021 , to be filed today . You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof . All forward - looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, and we undertake no obligation to revise or update this news release to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof . Non - GAAP Financial Measures In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with U . S . GAAP, this presentation also contains adjusted financial measures that we believe provide investors and management with supplemental information relating to operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information . These adjusted financial measures are non - GAAP measures and should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with U . S . GAAP . We typically exclude certain GAAP items that management does not believe affect our basic operations and that do not meet the GAAP definition of unusual or non - recurring items . Other companies may define these measures in different ways . When we provide our expectation for non - GAAP operating expenses on a forward - looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non - GAAP expectation and the corresponding GAAP measure generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains or losses . The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results .
