BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 16, 2023--
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IRWD), a GI-focused healthcare company, today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2022 results and recent business performance.
“We performed well and made important progress across our strategic priorities in 2022,” said Tom McCourt, chief executive officer of Ironwood. “While full year LINZESS U.S. net sales growth came in lower than our expectations for 2022 primarily due to inventory fluctuations in the retail channel, we are encouraged by continued robust prescription demand and focused expense management, which helped us deliver our adjusted EBITDA guidance of over $250 million. We ended the year with a strong balance sheet, positioning us well to continue to invest in LINZESS as a growth brand and actively pursue highly differentiated GI assets to add to our portfolio. Looking ahead in 2023, we remain committed to further advancing our strategic priorities, unlocking new opportunities for LINZESS, and strengthening and progressing our innovative GI portfolio. We anticipate a number of exciting milestones this year, and believe Ironwood is well positioned to deliver long term growth and value to patients and shareholders.”

Pipeline Updates
Pediatric Program
– In September 2022, Ironwood reported positive topline data from the Phase III trial of LINZESS (linaclotide) 72 mcg in pediatric patients aged 6-17 with functional constipation. Ironwood, and its partner AbbVie, submitted a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) to the FDA in December 2022, which was granted priority review with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of June 14, 2023. There are currently no FDA approved prescription therapies for the treatment of functional constipation in pediatric patients.
IW-3300
– Ironwood is continuing the Phase II proof of concept study in IC/BPS, with patient dosing expected to begin in early 2023.
CNP-104
– COUR is currently conducting a clinical study for CNP-104 evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic effects and efficacy of CNP-104 in PBC patients, with early data assessing T-cell response from patients enrolled in the clinical study expected in the second half of 2023, which Ironwood believes will inform timing of topline data.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results
– Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 consisted of $104.8 million associated with Ironwood’s share of the net profits from the sales of LINZESS in the U.S. and $2.4 million in royalties and other revenue. Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2021 consisted of $113.7 million associated with Ironwood’s share of the net profits from the sales of LINZESS in the U.S. and $3.4 million in royalties and other revenue.
– Total revenues for the full year 2022 consisted of $398.8 million associated with Ironwood’s share of the net profits from the sales of LINZESS in the U.S., and $11.8 million in royalties and other revenue. Total revenues for the full year 2021 consisted of $400.4 million associated with Ironwood’s share of the net profits from the sales of LINZESS in the U.S., and $13.4 million in royalties and other revenue.
– Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 consisted of $28.4 million in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, and $10.4 million in research and development (“R&D”) expenses. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 consisted of $28.6 million in SG&A expenses and $31.9 million in R&D expenses.
– Operating expenses for the full year 2022 consisted primarily of $116.0 million in SG&A expenses, and $44.3 million in R&D expenses. Operating expenses for the full year 2021 consisted primarily of $111.1 million in SG&A expenses, and $70.4 million in R&D expenses.
– Interest expense was $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $31.1 million for the full year 2021, in connection with Ironwood’s convertible senior notes.

Interest expense recorded for the full year 2021 included $7.2 million in cash expense and $23.9 million in non-cash expense. The reduction in non-cash interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2022 and for the full year 2022 primarily relates to the adoption of ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”) on January 1, 2022, which impacts the accounting for Ironwood’s convertible senior notes.
– Interest and investment income was $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 and $0.7 million for the full year of 2021.
– Ironwood recorded a loss on derivatives of $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 as a result of the change in fair value of its convertible note hedges and note hedge warrants. For the full year 2021, Ironwood recorded a loss on derivatives of $1.2 million.
– Non-GAAP net income excludes the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on the derivatives related to Ironwood’s 2022 Convertible Notes, restructuring expenses, and the income tax benefit related to the release of the company’s valuation allowance against the majority of deferred tax assets in the second quarter of 2021. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
– Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives related to Ironwood’s 2022 Convertible Notes, restructuring expenses, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization from GAAP net income. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
– Ironwood generated $79.2 million in cash from operations in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $64.6 million in cash from operations in the fourth quarter of 2021. Ironwood generated $273.8 million in cash from operations for the full year 2022, compared to $261.9 million for the full year 2021.

| 2023 Guidance |
U.S. LINZESS Net Sales Growth | 3% to 5% |
Total Revenue | $420 to $435 million |
Adjusted EBITDA 1 | >$250 million |
1 Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives related to Ironwood’s 2022 Convertible Notes, restructuring expenses, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization from GAAP net income. For purposes of this guidance, Ironwood has assumed that it will not incur material expenses related to business development activities in 2023. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Ironwood presents non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share to exclude the impact of net gains and losses on derivatives related to Ironwood’s 2022 Convertible Notes that are required to be marked-to-market, restructuring expenses, and the release of the company’s valuation allowance against the majority of deferred tax assets in the second quarter of 2021. Non-GAAP adjustments are further detailed below:
Ironwood also presents adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, as well as guidance on adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives related to Ironwood’s 2022 Convertible Notes, restructuring expenses, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization from GAAP net income. The adjustments are made on a similar basis as described above related to non-GAAP net income, as applicable.
Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors, taken in conjunction with Ironwood’s GAAP financial statements, because it provides greater transparency and period-over-period comparability with respect to Ironwood’s operating performance. These measures are also used by management to assess the performance of the business. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share to GAAP net income and GAAP net income per share, respectively, and for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income, please refer to the tables at the end of this press release.
Ironwood does not provide guidance on GAAP net income or a reconciliation of expected adjusted EBITDA to expected GAAP net income because, without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the non-GAAP adjustments used to calculate adjusted EBITDA. These adjustments are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP net income for the guidance period.

About LINZESS (linaclotide)
LINZESS® is the #1 prescribed brand in the U.S. for the treatment of adult patients with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (“IBS-C”) or chronic idiopathic constipation (“CIC”), based on IQVIA data.
LINZESS is a once-daily capsule that helps relieve the abdominal pain, constipation, and overall abdominal symptoms of bloating, discomfort and pain associated with IBS-C, as well as the constipation, infrequent stools, hard stools, straining, and incomplete evacuation associated with CIC. The recommended dose is 290 mcg for IBS-C patients and 145 mcg for CIC patients, with a 72-mcg dose approved for use in CIC depending on individual patient presentation or tolerability. LINZESS should be taken at least 30 minutes before the first meal of the day.
LINZESS is contraindicated in pediatric patients less than 2 years of age. In neonatal mice, linaclotide increased fluid secretion as a consequence of age-dependent elevated GC-C agonism resulting in mortality within the first 24 hours due to dehydration. There was no age-dependent trend in GC-C intestinal expression in a clinical study of children 2 to less than 18 years of age; however, there are insufficient data available on GC-C intestinal expression in children less than 2 years of age to assess the risk of developing diarrhea and its potentially serious consequences in these patients. The safety and effectiveness of LINZESS in patients less than 18 years of age have not been established.
LINZESS is not a laxative; it is the first medicine approved by the FDA in a class called GC-C agonists. LINZESS contains a peptide called linaclotide that activates the GC-C receptor in the intestine. Activation of GC-C is thought to result in increased intestinal fluid secretion and accelerated transit and a decrease in the activity of pain-sensing nerves in the intestine. The clinical relevance of the effect on pain fibers, which is based on nonclinical studies, has not been established.
In the United States, Ironwood and AbbVie co-develop and co-commercialize LINZESS for the treatment of adults with IBS-C or CIC. In Europe, AbbVie markets linaclotide under the brand name CONSTELLA® for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe IBS-C. In Japan, Ironwood's partner, Astellas, markets linaclotide under the brand name LINZESS for the treatment of adults with IBS-C or CIC. Ironwood also has partnered with AstraZeneca for development and commercialization of LINZESS in China, and with AbbVie for development and commercialization of linaclotide in all other territories worldwide.

__________________________________
| 1 Following the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, the dilutive impact of Ironwood’s convertible senior notes is determined using the if-converted method. As a result of this change, the weighted average number of common shares used to calculate diluted net income per share includes approximately 29.9 million shares related to the assumed conversion of the 2024 and 2026 convertible senior notes. Under the modified retrospective transition method elected by the Company in connection with the adoption of ASU 2020-06, diluted earnings per share for prior fiscal periods is not required to be, and has not been, restated. |
