Roivant Sciences Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended December 31, 2022 and Provides Business Update
BASEL, Switzerland and LONDON and NEW YORK and BOSTON, February 13, 2023 - Roivant Sciences (Nasdaq: ROIV) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022, and provided an update on the Company's operations.
Roivant's Chief Executive Officer, Matt Gline, noted: "This past quarter was a significant one for the company. We announced the in-licensing of our
potentially first-in-class and best-in-class TL1A program RVT-3101 along with highly encouraging Phase 2 induction data. Earlier this month we completed a $230M equity financing to further advance our TL1A programs in Phase 3 and Phase 2 for
ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, respectively. Additionally, we reported strong growth in VTAMA net revenue and made significant progress on payor coverage with a majority of commercial lives now covered. These recent developments and our
strengthened balance sheet continue to support Roivant's growing leadership in immunological and inflammatory diseases and point to an incredibly catalyst-rich year ahead."
Major Upcoming Milestones
Third Quarter Ended December 31, 2022 Financial Summary
As of December 31, 2022, the company had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of approximately $1.5
billion. Giving effect to Roivant's February 2023 follow-on offering for $230 million in gross proceeds, and
$115 million in expected proceeds from the planned sale of the Myovant top-up shares in connection with the pending acquisition of Myovant by Sumitomo Pharma, Roivant's consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash would have been
approximately $1.9 billion. The Myovant transaction is expected to close in the quarter ending March 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased by $11.8 million to $125.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to $137.3 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to decreases in share-based compensation of $10.8 million and program-specific costs of $8.0 million, partially offset by increases in personnel-related expenses of $4.1 million and other expenses
The decrease of $8.0 million in program-specific costs largely reflects the discontinued development of several programs, including ARU-1801, LSVT-1701, DMVT-502, DMVT-503,
DMVT-504, and CVT-TCR-01. These decreases were partially offset by increases reflecting the progression of our programs, including Immunovant's anti-FcRn franchise.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $117.4 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022,
compared to $118.9 million for the three months ended December 30, 2021.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses
Acquired in-process research and development increased by $81.6 million to $97.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $16.1 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to consideration for the purchase of IPR&D of $87.7 million relating to the acquisition of RVT-3101 by a newly formed subsidiary in November 2022. Additionally, the achievement of a development
milestone relating to Immunovant's batoclimab program resulted in a one-time milestone expense of $10.0 million. Acquired in-process research and development expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily driven by consideration
for the purchase of IPR&D of $14.1 million relating to the acquisition of RVT-2001 by Hemavant.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $52.7 million to $168.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $115.5 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses at Dermavant as a result of the commercial launch of VTAMA.
Non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $115.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022,
compared to $61.4 million for the three months ended December 30, 2021. The majority of non-GAAP SG&A expenses of $115.9 million were related to Dermavant's SG&A and
ongoing VTAMA commercial launch activities.
Net loss was $384.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $306.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. On a per common share basis, net loss was $0.49
for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and $0.41 for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Non-GAAP net loss was $297.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $173.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
