Pharming Group reports financial results for the first nine months of 2021
Patient enrollment and product demand driving ongoing revenue recovery to US$52.9 million in Q3 2021
Operating profit impacted by upfront payment of US$ 13.1 million for the in-licensing of OTL-105.
Continued strong positive cash flow from operations enable increasing investment in the pipeline to support long-term growth

Leiden, The Netherlands, October 28, 2021: Pharming Group N.V. (“Pharming” or “the Company”) (Euronext Amsterdam: PHARM/NASDAQ: PHAR) presents its preliminary (unaudited) financial report for the first nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company will hold an analyst conference call at 13.30 CET/07.30 ET today. Dial in details can be found on page 6 of this report

Chief Executive Officer, Sijmen de Vries, commented
“We are pleased to deliver continued quarter-on-quarter revenue growth for the year to date, as expected, following the impact of COVID-19 on sales earlier in 2021, as a result of ongoing patient enrollment and increasing product demand. Supported by the strength of the underlying business; we are continuing to invest in future growth in line with our strategy to develop and expand our pipeline through leverage of our in-house expertise. This investment includes licensing of OTL-105, an investigational gene therapy for the potentially curative treatment of hereditary angioedema, from Orchard Therapeutics in July 2021.We are also investing significant and increasing amounts in preparation for the potential launch of leniolisib in Q4 2022, subject to regulatory approval.
I look forward to the read-out of the registration enabling study for leniolisib, expected early in the new year, as a product with transformational potential for APDS patient’s lives and also transformational commercial potential for Pharming.”

Operational highlights (Q3 2021)
Signed a strategic collaboration with Orchard Therapeutics, a global gene therapy leader, to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize OTL-105, a newly disclosed investigational ex-vivo autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE). OTL-105 is designed to increase C1 esterase inhibitor (C1INH) in HAE patient serum to prevent HAE attacks.
Entered into an exclusive license agreement with NewBridge Pharmaceuticals for the distribution of RUCONEST® in the Middle East and North Africa.
Topline results from two randomized, open label, controlled, pilot clinical trials of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 treated with RUCONEST® for the prevention of severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results from these studies support Pharming’s initial

LOGO_GREYXORIGINALX.JPG
hypothesis on the need to control the hyper-inflammatory process in patients with severe COVID-19 infection. The results are being analyzed to design future clinical trials with RUCONEST® for the treatment of COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 conditions.
Continued significant investment in pipeline, including launch preparation for leniolisib, which is expected in Q4 2022, dependent on regulatory approval.

Financial highlights
Total revenues increased by 6% from US$49.7 million in Q2 2021 to US$52.9 million in Q3 2021, as a result of the ongoing recovery in sales following the impact of COVID-19 on the US healthcare economy earlier in Q1 2021, as previously noted in the Company’s Q1 2021 and Q2 2021 financial reports. Revenues for the first nine months of 2021 were US$146.1 million, a 4% decrease compared to the first nine months of 2020 (US$151.9 million).
RUCONEST® sales in the US continued to recover during Q3 2021, with quarter-on-quarter revenues increasing by 6% to US$51.1 million (Q2 2021: US$48.4 million), driven by an increase in patient enrollment and product demand. For the first nine months of 2021, US sales amounted to US$141.1 million, a 3% decrease from US$145.9 million in the first nine months of 2020.
Revenues in Europe and RoW decreased to US$5.0 million for the first nine months of 2021 (9M 2020: US$6.1 million). In Q3 2021 revenue from Europe and RoW sales were US$1.9 million, an increase of 58% on Q2 2021 (US$1.2 million), mainly as a result of phasing of ordering.
Gross profit for the first nine months of 2021 was US$130.6 million a 3% decrease in comparison to the first nine months of 2020 (US$135.3 million). However, gross profit increased by 4% compared to Q2 2021, in line with the increased quarter-on-quarter revenues.

LOGO_GREYXORIGINALX.JPG
Operating profit for the first nine months of 2021 was US$15.3 million, decreasing 72% on the first nine months of 2020 (US$57.7 million). This was due to significant investments in the pipeline, including one- off costs of the upfront payment of US$13.1 million to in-license OTL-105 from Orchard Therapeutics in Q3 2021 and increased costs of corporate development, including costs associated with compliance and insurances as specified further below. Without the upfront payment for OTL-105 operating profit would have come to US$28.4 million, growing from US$17.3 million in H1 2021.
Other operating costs increased to US$116.4 million compared to US$78.5 million in the first nine months of 2020. The increase is due to investment in Pharming’s long-term growth, with increased R&D expenditure, the cost of the OTL-105 license (US$13.1 million), leniolisib pre-launch marketing preparations and manufacturing cost for leniolisib, an increase in employee numbers to support growth, a significant increase in cost of insurances due to Nasdaq listing, an increase in share-based compensation and increased compliance and control costs relating to the recent US Nasdaq listing, as previously noted in the Company’s Q1 2021 and Q2 2021 financial reports.
Net profit for the first nine months of 2021 was US$13.9 million, a 49% decrease compared to the first nine months of 2020 (US$28.9 million), as a result of initial in-licensing cost of OTL-105 (US$13.1 million) leading to lower operating profit which was offset by currency exchange rates and lower funding costs.
Cash and cash equivalents, together with restricted cash, decreased from US$206.7 million at the end of 2020 to US$184.8 million at the end of Q3 2021. This was as a result of positive cash flows from operating activities of US$21.9 million remaining after the US$13.1 million one- off payment to Orchard Therapeutics and reduced by investments and negative financing cash flows totaling US$42.9 million. These US$42.9 million include investments in production facilities and the payment of the final US$25.0 million milestone to Bausch Health Inc. in Q2 2021 in relation to the re-acquisition of the North American RUCONEST® commercialization rights in 2016.

Outlook
For the remainder of 2021, we expect:
Continued quarter on quarter increase in revenues from RUCONEST® sales due to normalizing pharmaceutical markets following the impact of COVID-19. However, we will continue to monitor the situation in all markets and could expect some periodic disruptions.
Maintenance of positive net earnings during the remainder of the year.
Significant and increasing investment in launch-critical medical affairs and pre-marketing activities for leniolisib as well as continued investment in ongoing clinical trials for rhC1INH and other development activities, including OTL-105.
Investments in acquisitions and in-licensing of new development opportunities and assets.
No further specific financial guidance for 2021 is provided.

About Pharming Group N.V.
Pharming Group N.V. is a global, commercial stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative protein replacement therapies and precision medicines for the treatment of rare diseases and unmet medical needs.
The flagship of our portfolio is our recombinant human C1 esterase inhibitor (rhC1INH) franchise. C1INH is a naturally occurring protein that down regulates the complement and contact cascades in order to control inflammation in affected tissues.
Our lead product, RUCONEST®, is the first and only plasma-free rhC1INH protein replacement therapy. It is approved for the treatment of acute hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks. We are commercializing RUCONEST® in the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom through our own sales and marketing organization, and the rest of the world through our distribution network.
In addition, we are investigating the clinical efficacy of rhC1INH in the treatment of further indications, including pre-eclampsia, acute kidney injury and severe pneumonia as a result of COVID-19 infections.
We are also studying our oral precision medicine, leniolisib (a phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta, or PI3K delta, inhibitor), for the treatment of activated PI3K delta syndrome, or APDS, in a registration enabling Phase 2/3 study in the United States and Europe.
Additionally, we entered into a strategic collaboration with Orchard Therapeutics to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize OTL-105, a newly disclosed investigational ex-vivo autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy for the treatment of HAE.
Furthermore, we are leveraging our transgenic manufacturing technology to develop next-generation protein replacement therapies, most notably for Pompe disease, which is currently in preclinical development.
