Theravance Biopharma, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2021 Financial Results and Provides Business Update
IRELAND - may 4, 2021 - Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ: TBPH) today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2021.
"2021 is on track to be a transformational
year as we make significant progress towards our business goals," said Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer. "Our
commercial assets provide cash flow to invest in our diversified clinical pipeline. GSK's TRELEGY continues an exceptional, unabated
growth trajectory. Our YUPELRI team, with our partner Viatris, continues to drive performance despite pandemic-associated headwinds. While
we experienced slightly down sequential quarter-over-quarter net sales results, our January 2021 market share was 19%-its highest
level since launch-and we ended the quarter on a strong note with March volume demand demonstrating 28% growth over February."
"Additionally, we are focused on advancing
development of our innovative and differentiated pipeline. We continue to progress nezulcitinib, our wholly-owned nebulized lung-selective
pan-JAK inhibitor, our potentially best-in-class ampreloxetine for symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and izencitinib, our
oral gut-selective pan-JAK inhibitor for inflammatory bowel disease that is partnered with Janssen Pharmaceuticals. Our team is looking
forward to four significant clinical readouts between now and Q1 2022: our Phase 2 nezulcitinib trial in Q2, our Phase 3 ampreloxetine
and Phase 2b izencitinib Ulcerative Colitis trials each in Q3, and the Phase 2 izencitinib Crohn's disease trial in Q4/Q1 2022.
We remain committed to delivering each of these clinical data sets with the highest quality as expeditiously as possible."
While Viatris Inc. ("Viatris") records the total YUPELRI net sales, the Company is entitled to a 35% share of the profits
and losses pursuant to a co-promotion agreement with Viatris.
As reported by Glaxo Group Limited or one of its affiliates (GSK); reported sales converted to USD; economic
interest related to TRELEGY (the combination of fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI), jointly developed by
GSK and Innoviva, Inc.) entitles the Company to upward tiering payments equal to approximately 5.5% to 8.5% on worldwide net sales of
the product (net of Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC (TRC) expenses paid and the amount of cash, if any, expected to be used in TRC

and 25% of income from the Company's investment in TRC is retained by the Company.

This press release contains and the conference call will contain certain
"forward-looking" statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among
other things, statements relating to goals, plans, objectives, expectations and future events. Theravance Biopharma intends such forward-looking
statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of such statements include statements relating to: the
Company's goals, designs, strategies, plans and objectives, the Company's regulatory strategies and timing of clinical studies
(including the data therefrom), the potential characteristics, benefits and mechanisms of action of the Company's product and product
candidates, the potential that the Company's research programs will progress product candidates into the clinic, the Company's
expectations for product candidates through development, the Company's expectations regarding its allocation of resources, potential
regulatory approval and commercialization (including their differentiation from other products or potential products), product sales
or profit share revenue and the Company's expectations for its expenses, excluding share-based compensation and other financial
results. These statements are based on the current estimates and assumptions of the management of Theravance Biopharma as of the date
of the press release and the conference call and are subject to risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances, assumptions and other
factors that may cause the actual results of Theravance Biopharma to be materially different from those reflected in the forward-looking
statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements
include, among others, risks related to: disagreements with Innoviva, Inc. and TRC LLC, the uncertainty of arbitration and litigation
and the possibility that the results of these proceedings could be adverse to the Company, delays or difficulties in commencing, enrolling

or product candidates are unsafe or ineffective, risks that product candidates do not obtain approval from regulatory authorities, the
feasibility of undertaking future clinical trials for our product candidates based on policies and feedback from regulatory authorities,
dependence on third parties to conduct clinical studies, delays or failure to achieve and maintain regulatory approvals for product candidates,
risks of collaborating with or relying on third parties to discover, develop, manufacture and commercialize products, and risks associated
with establishing and maintaining sales, marketing and distribution capabilities with appropriate technical expertise and supporting
infrastructure. In addition, while we expect the effects of COVID-19 to continue to adversely impact our business operations and financial
results, the extent of the impact on our ability to generate revenue from YUPELRI (revefenacin), our clinical development programs
(including but not limited to our later stage clinical programs for izencitinib and ampreloxetine), and the value of and market for our
ordinary shares, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence at this time. These
potential future developments include, but are not limited to, the ultimate duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions, quarantines,
social distancing and business closure requirements in the United States and in other countries, other measures taken by us and those
we work with to help protect individuals from contracting COVID-19, and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain and treat
the disease, including vaccine availability, distribution, acceptance and effectiveness. Other risks affecting Theravance Biopharma are
in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021 and other periodic reports filed with the SEC. In addition to
the risks described above and in Theravance Biopharma's filings with the SEC, other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect
Theravance Biopharma's results. No forward-looking statements can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from such statements.
Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Theravance Biopharma assumes no obligation
to update its forward-looking statements on account of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
