NEW HAVEN, Conn., October 26, 2017- Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALXN) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2017. Total revenues in the quarter were $859 million, an 8 percent increase compared to the same period in 2016. Second quarter revenue benefited from approximately $35 million in favorable timing of orders, which directly impacted quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year growth in the third quarter of 2017. The negative impact of foreign currency on total revenue year-over-year was less than 1 percent, or 5 million, net of hedging activities. On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share (EPS) in the quarter was $0.35 per share, inclusive of $164 million of expenses related to the previously announced restructuring, compared to $0.42 per share in the third quarter of 2016. Non-GAAP diluted EPS for the third quarter of 2017 was $1.44 per share, compared to $1.23 per share in the third quarter of 2016.
"Alexion delivered strong commercial, R&D, and financial performance in the third quarter of 2017. We received regulatory approvals for the third indication for Soliris in the U.S. and European Union, strengthened our patent portfolio with three new U.S. patents for Soliris that extend protection into 2027, reached new funding agreements in key European countries for Strensiq and Kanuma, and advanced the ALXN1210 clinical development programs," said Ludwig Hantson, Chief Executive Officer of Alexion. "We also announced a restructuring that aligns the global organization with our strategy and we expect to deliver significant savings. We enter the fourth quarter of 2017 in a position of strength and are confident in our strategic plan to build long-term sustainable value for shareholders."

Research and Development
Complement Portfolio Updates
• | Soliris® (eculizumab)- Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (gMG): The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Soliris as a treatment for adult patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AchR) antibody-positive. The European Commission approved the extension of the indication for Soliris to include the treatment of refractory gMG in adults who are AchR antibody-positive. Alexion has submitted an application in Japan to extend the indication for Soliris as a potential treatment for patients with refractory gMG who are AchR antibody-positive. |
• | Eculizumab- Relapsing Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD): Alexion completed enrollment in the PREVENT study, a single, multinational, placebo-controlled Phase 3 |
trial of eculizumab in patients with relapsing neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), and expects to report data in mid-2018.
• | ALXN1210- PNH: Enrollment is complete in a Phase 3 trial comparing ALXN1210 administered intravenously every eight weeks to Soliris in complement inhibitor treatment-naive patients with PNH and in a Phase 3 PNH Switch study of ALXN1210 administered intravenously every eight weeks compared to patients currently treated with Soliris. Alexion expects to report data from these studies in the second quarter of 2018. |
• | ALXN1210- aHUS: Enrollment and dosing are ongoing in a Phase 3 trial with ALXN1210 administered intravenously every eight weeks in complement inhibitor treatment-naive adolescent and adult patients with aHUS. Enrollment is expected to be complete in early 2018. Alexion also initiated enrollment in a Phase 3 trial of ALXN1210 in pediatric patients with aHUS. |
• | ALXN1210- Subcutaneous: Initial pharmacokinetic and tolerability data from the Phase I study in healthy volunteers support progressing the development of a subcutaneous formulation of ALXN1210. Based on discussions with regulators, Alexion plans to initiate a single, PK-based Phase 3 study of ALXN1210 delivered subcutaneously once per week to support registration in PNH and aHUS in late 2018. |
Manufacturing
Alexion received a notification from the FDA that the Warning Letter received in March 2013 regarding compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices at the Company's Rhode Island manufacturing facility has been resolved. As previously announced, Alexion plans to close the Rhode Island manufacturing facility to align its manufacturing facilities with its ongoing multi-product network manufacturing strategy, which utilizes Alexion’s manufacturing operations in the U.S. and Ireland, and manufacturing capacity through its manufacturing partners.

This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements related to guidance regarding anticipated financial results for 2017, anticipated savings, costs and expenses resulting from the restructuring, assessment of the Company's commercialization efforts and commercial potential for Soliris, Strensiq and Kanuma, medical and commercial potential of each of Alexion's product candidates, launch expectations for Strensiq, Kanuma and Soliris for the treatment of gMG, and plans for regulatory filings and clinical programs for our product candidates, and anticipated changes to the Company’s R&D strategy. Forward-looking statements are subject to factors that may cause Alexion's results and plans to differ from those expected, including for example, decisions of regulatory authorities regarding the adequacy of our research, marketing approval or material limitations on the marketing of our products, delays, interruptions or failures in the manufacture and supply of our products and our product candidates, failure to satisfactorily address matters raised by the FDA and other regulatory agencies, the possibility that results of clinical trials are not predictive of safety and efficacy results of our products in broader patient populations, the possibility that current rates of adoption of Soliris in PNH, aHUS or other diseases are not sustained, the possibility that clinical trials of our product candidates could be delayed, the adequacy of our pharmacovigilance and drug safety reporting processes, the risk that third party
payors (including governmental agencies) will not reimburse or continue to reimburse for the use of our products at acceptable rates or at all, uncertainties surrounding legal proceedings, company investigations and government investigations, including investigations of Alexion by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. Department of Justice, the risk that anticipated regulatory filings are delayed, the risk that estimates regarding the number of patients with PNH, aHUS, gMG, HPP and LAL-D are inaccurate, the risks of changing foreign exchange rates, risks relating to the potential effects of the Company's restructuring and relocation of its corporate headquarters, and a variety of other risks set forth from time to time in Alexion's filings with the SEC, including but not limited to the risks discussed in Alexion's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2017 and in our other filings with the SEC. Alexion does not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, except when a duty arises under law.
In addition to financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release also contains non-GAAP financial measures that Alexion believes, when considered together with the GAAP information, provide investors and management with supplemental information relating to performance, trends and prospects that promote a more complete understanding of our operating results and financial position during different periods. The non-GAAP results exclude the impact of the following GAAP items: share-based compensation expense, fair value adjustment of inventory acquired, amortization of purchased intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition-related costs, restructuring and related expenses, upfront and milestone payments related to licenses and collaborations, impairment of intangible assets and certain adjustments to income tax expense. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and should be reviewed in conjunction with the relevant GAAP financial measures. Please refer to the attached Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Results and GAAP to non-GAAP 2017 Financial Guidance for explanations of the amounts adjusted to arrive at non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share amounts for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and projected twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

(1) In October 2016, the FASB issued a new income tax standard that eliminates the exception for an intra-entity asset transfer other than inventory. We elected to early adopt this standard in the first quarter 2017. As a result of the adoption, we recorded a $19 million decrease in retained earnings, primarily resulting from the elimination of previously recorded prepaid tax assets.
