Roivant Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter Ended June 30, 2023, and Provides Business Update
BASEL, LONDON, and NEW YORK, August 14, 2023 - Roivant (Nasdaq: ROIV) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended June 30, 2023, and provided an update on the business.
"This was an incredibly busy quarter with multiple clinical readouts and trial
initiations. We reported positive data from the chronic period of the Phase 2b study of RVT-3101 in ulcerative colitis, in addition to positive data from the ADORING 1 trial evaluating VTAMA in patients as young as 2 years old with
moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. We also initiated two separate trials, the TAHOE Phase 2 study of RVT-3101 in Crohn's disease and the
Phase 1 study of IMVT-1402 in healthy volunteers. We're incredibly excited about the progress we've made in this quarter alone and look forward to announcing additional clinical results in the upcoming months," said Matt Gline, CEO of Roivant.
"On the commercial side, we saw another three months of continued product revenue growth for the company from VTAMA sales."
Major Upcoming Milestones
First Quarter Ended June 30, 2023, Financial Summary
As of June 30, 2023, the company had consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1.4
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased by $10.7 million to $125.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $135.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to
decreases in program-specific costs of $7.8 million and share-based compensation of $4.3 million, partially offset by an increase in other
expenses of $2.2 million.
The decrease of $7.8 million in program-specific costs largely reflects the discontinued
development of several programs, including ARU-1801, LSVT-1701 and CVT-TCR-01, as well as our reprioritization of drug discovery efforts. These decreases were partially offset by increases reflecting the progression of our programs, including
Immunovant's anti-FcRn franchise, RVT-3101, and namilumab. The asset acquisition of RVT-3101 was completed in November 2022.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $115.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023,
compared to $122.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses
Acquired in-process research and development was $12.5 million for the three months ended June
30, 2023, relating to the achievement of development and regulatory milestones for batoclimab.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased by $7.1 million to $156.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $149.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a
decrease of $19.4 million of share-based compensation expense partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $27.1 million at Dermavant as a result of the commercial launch of VTAMA.
Non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $113.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023,
compared to $87.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The majority of non-GAAP SG&A expenses were related to Dermavant's SG&A and ongoing VTAMA commercial launch
Net loss was $327.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $353.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. On a per common share basis, net loss was $0.38 for the three months ended June 30,
2023, and $0.48 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Non-GAAP net loss was $211.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023,
