BeiGene Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Recorded product revenue of $196.8 million and $634.0 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively,

representing a 96.6% and 105.3% increase from $100.1 million and $308.9 million in the prior year periods

BeiGene, Ltd. (NASDAQ: BGNE; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing innovative medicines worldwide, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021, recent business highlights, and anticipated upcoming milestones.

“Last year was transformative for our company, and we have built strategic competitive advantages that will help BeiGene to achieve our mission of making innovative medicines more readily accessible and affordable for all who need them. We have significantly increased the reach of our medicines, as BRUKINSA is now approved in 45 markets, and we now have 16 approved medicines in China, including our sixth approved indication for tislelizumab and five approved Novartis Oncology products in designated regions of China that we plan to promote following the transition from Novartis,” said John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BeiGene. “With exciting momentum for BRUKINSA including acceptance by the FDA and EMA of our supplemental NDAs for CLL, the most common form of adult leukemia, we are building a strong portfolio with cornerstone assets that will support the development of potential future new therapies. In addition, we have expanded our productive collaboration with Novartis by entering into an option, collaboration and license agreement to accelerate our anti-TIGIT antibody, ociperlimab, which is one of the most advanced assets in its class.”

Julia Wang, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We are strongly positioned financially in an environment where the cost of capital is rising for our industry. In 2021, we added over $4 billion to our balance sheet through our public offering and new listing on the STAR market and the upfront payment from our collaboration with Novartis for tislelizumab, plus an additional $300 million in early 2022 for our TIGIT collaboration, that validates the strength of our research and development. Our commercial team is generating substantial product revenue from our internal and partnered medicines, and we expect revenue to continue to grow meaningfully in the year ahead based on approvals achieved and upcoming catalysts. We remain committed to building our internal clinical development and manufacturing capabilities that offer cost advantages and managing our expenses with discipline.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments were $6.62 billion as of December 31, 2021, compared to $3.92 billion as of September 30, 2021, and $4.66 billion as of December 31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 do not include the $300 million upfront payment from Novartis for the ociperlimab option, collaboration and license agreement, which was received in January 2022.

  • For the fourth quarter of 2021, total cash and short-term investments increased $2.7 billion; cash used in operating activities was $507.8 million; capital expenditures were $115.0 million; and cash provided from financing activities was $3.4 billion, almost entirely due to the net proceeds from the STAR Market offering on December 15, 2021.
  • For the full year 2021, total cash and short-term investments increased $2.0 billion; cash used in operating activities was $1.3 billion; capital expenditures were $262.9 million; and cash provided from financing activities was $3.6 billion, primarily due to the net proceeds from the STAR Market offering on December 15, 2021.

Revenue for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 was $214.0 million and $1.2 billion, respectively, compared to $100.1 million and $308.9 million in the prior year periods. The increase in total revenue in the quarter compared to the prior year is attributable to sales of our internally developed products, sales of in-licensed products from Amgen and BMS, as well as collaboration revenue from the Novartis agreements.

  • Product revenues totaled $196.8 million and $634.0 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively, compared to $100.1 million and $308.9 million in the prior year periods, and were comprised of:

– Global sales of BRUKINSA of $87.6 million and $218.0 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively, compared to $18.3 million and $41.7 million in the prior year periods. Full year 2020 revenue from BRUKINSA reflects sales since its launch in China in June 2020, as well as sales in the United States for the full year;

– Sales of tislelizumab in China of $54.4 million and $255.1 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively, compared to $63.5 million and $163.4 million in the prior year periods. Sales of tislelizumab in the fourth quarter were impacted by 2022 National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) price reductions, which resulted in a negative adjustment of $25.4 million as a result of the normal process in China of compensating distributors for products previously sold at the 2021 price during the quarter that remained in the distribution channel. Full year 2021 sales of tislelizumab included two negative adjustments totaling $45.6 million for distributor channel inventory compensation as a result of inclusion in the March 2021 and January 2022 NRDL lists. Full year 2020 revenue from tislelizumab reflects sales since its launch in China in March 2020;

– Sales of BMS in-licensed products in China of $29.9 million and $89.7 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively, compared to $12.6 million and $95.1 million in the prior year periods, respectively; and

– Sales of Amgen in-licensed products in China of $20.3 million and $58.8 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively, compared to $5.4 million and $8.5 million in the prior year periods. We began selling Amgen's XGEVA® (denosumab) and BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab) in July 2020 and August 2021, respectively.

  • Collaboration revenue totaled $17.2 million and $542.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, resulting from the partial recognition of the upfront payments from Novartis of $650.0 million related to the tislelizumab agreement and $300.0 million related to the ociperlimab agreement, which were entered into in the first and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively. We had no collaboration revenue in 2020.

Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 were $785.7 million and $2.6 billion, respectively, compared to $585.0 million and $2.0 billion in the prior year periods.

  • Cost of Sales for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 were $48.5 million and $164.9 million, respectively, compared to $21.1 million and $70.7 million in the prior year periods. Cost of sales increased primarily due to increased product sales of tislelizumab, BRUKINSA and XGEVA, as well as sales of BLINCYTO, which commenced in August 2021.
  • R&D Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 were $430.5 million and $1.5 billion, respectively, compared to $355.5 million and $1.3 billion in the prior year periods. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily attributable to increases in headcount and costs related to investment in our discovery and development activities, including our continued efforts to internalize research and clinical development activities, partially offset by lower fees paid to external CROs on clinical trials for BRUKINSA, tislelizumab and pamiparib, as well as decreased expense related to upfront fees for in-process R&D. Upfront fees related to in-process R&D for in-licensed assets totaled $30.0 million and $83.5 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively, compared to nil and $109.5 million in the prior year periods. Employee share-based compensation expense also contributed to the overall increase in R&D expenses and was $30.6 million and $114.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively, compared to $23.5 million and $93.0 million in the prior year periods, due to increased headcount and a higher share price.
  • SG&A Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 were $306.5 million and $990.1 million, respectively, compared to $208.2 million and $600.2 million in the prior year periods. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to increased headcount, largely related to continued expansion of our commercial teams, higher professional service fees and higher external commercial expenses, including selling and marketing, market access studies and promotional activities. The overall increase in SG&A expenses was also attributable to higher SG&A-related share-based compensation expense, which was $32.4 million and $126.4 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2021, respectively, compared to $26.0 million and $90.5 million for the prior year periods, due to increased headcount and a higher share price.
  • Net Loss for the fourth quarter and full year 2021 was $585.7 million and $1.4 billion, or $0.47 and $1.17 per share, respectively, or $6.16 and $15.23 per ADS, respectively, compared to $472.7 million and $1.6 billion, or $0.40 and $1.47 per share, or $5.20 and $19.13 per ADS, respectively, in the prior year periods.

Recent Business Highlights

Commercial Operations

  • Product sales increased 96.6% and 105.3% in the fourth quarter and full year of 2021 compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to increased sales of our internally developed products and in-licensed products from Amgen;
  • Global sales of BRUKINSA totaled $87.6 million and $218.0 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2021, representing 378% and 423% increases compared to the prior year periods; U.S. sales of BRUKINSA totaled $55.9 million and $115.7 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2021, representing growth of 539% and 535%, compared to the prior year periods. U.S. sales continued to accelerate in the quarter, driven by continued uptake in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and the recent FDA approvals in Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). BRUKINSA sales in China totaled $30.6 million and $101.2 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2021, representing growth of 219% and 331% compared to the prior year periods, driven by a significant increase in all approved indications, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Fourth quarter and full year 2021 sales of BRUKINSA in China were negatively impacted by accrued compensation to distributors of $4.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively, due to price changes related to BRUKINSA’s inclusion in the March 2021 and January 2022 NRDL lists;
  • Sales of tislelizumab in China totaled $54.4 million and $255.1 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2021, representing a decline of 14% and growth of 56% compared to the prior year periods. In the fourth quarter, new patient demand from broader reimbursement and further expansion of our salesforce and hospital listings continued to drive increased market penetration and market share for tislelizumab;
  • Continued to build commercial capabilities in designated regions of China referred to as Broad Markets to accommodate increasing medical demand. Our new agreement with Novartis granting us rights to market and promote five Novartis approved and nationally reimbursed oncology products expands our portfolio and enables our commercial team to reach patients in the Broad Markets with these medicines. These products include: TAFINLAR® (dabrafenib), MEKINIST® (trametinib), VOTRIENT® (pazopanib), AFINITOR® (everolimus), and ZYKADIA® (ceritinib);
  • Secured NRDL inclusion in China for our eligible medicines, including tislelizumab in first-line non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), first-line squamous NSCLC and second- or third-line hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), BRUKINSA in WM, and pamiparib in germline in patients with BRCA (gBRCA) mutation-associated recurrent advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have been treated with two or more lines of chemotherapy; and
  • Our commercial organization in China continued to demonstrate its ability to bring new products to market, launching QARZIBA and POBEVCY in the fourth quarter.
