Genzyme Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2010

Provides Update on Product Supply and Consent Decree Terms

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Genzyme Corp. (NASDAQ: GENZ) today reported that first-quarter revenue was $1.07 billion, compared with $1.15 billion in the same period last year, reflecting limited shipments of Cerezyme® (imiglucerase for injection) and Fabrazyme® (agalsidase beta) due to product supply constraints.

GAAP net loss was $114.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, compared with net income of $195.5 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2009. GAAP results reflect the impact of the anticipated $175 million expense associated with the consent decree for the company’s Allston manufacturing facility.

Non-GAAP net income was $99.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with $227.5 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, in the same period last year. Non-GAAP net income excludes stock compensation expenses, costs associated with the acquisition of Bayer oncology products and the expense associated with the consent decree.

Genzyme continues to make progress in strengthening the corporation to build shareholder value. The company recently created the position of chief operating officer to establish a sharper focus on commercial execution and appointed Executive Vice President David Meeker to this role; elected Ralph Whitworth, principal and co-founder of Relational Investors LLC, to the company’s board of directors to add fresh perspective; launched a search for an additional board member with manufacturing expertise; created new board committees on capital allocation and risk management; advanced manufacturing capacity expansion projects; and reported the publication and presentation of clinical trial data validating the potential of the company’s major late-stage development programs.

“As we work to resume sustainable growth, we are focusing on transforming our manufacturing operations, maximizing the potential of our diverse product portfolio, and advancing key pipeline programs, while tightly managing expenses across the corporation,” said Henri A. Termeer, Genzyme’s chairman and chief executive officer.

Consent Decree

Genzyme received a draft consent decree from the FDA regarding its Allston manufacturing plant. The draft provides for an up-front disgorgement of past profits of $175 million. Because this is a likely outcome, Genzyme booked this expense in the first quarter. In addition, if the Allston fill/finish facility is still operating after deadlines for domestic and exported products, the draft provides for disgorgement of 18.5 percent of revenues from sales of products manufactured and distributed from Allston after those deadlines. Genzyme and the FDA are having discussions regarding appropriate deadlines for moving fill/finish operations, as well as the details of the disgorgement provisions. Finally, if fill/finish operations are moved from Allston but certain remediation actions relating to overall cGMP compliance are not met by deadlines over the coming years in a remediation plan to be approved by the FDA, the draft provides for a payment of $15,000 per day per violation until the compliance milestones are met. Genzyme is actively negotiating with the FDA the terms of the consent decree and expects that the negotiations will be completed during the second quarter. After finalization of the consent decree, Genzyme will provide an update, including revised 2010 financial guidance.

Product Supply Update

Cerezyme

Genzyme achieved its goal of building a small inventory buffer during the first quarter. The current shipping allocation of 50 percent of demand will be extended, however, due to an interruption in operations at the company’s Allston facility late in the quarter. The interruption resulted from an unexpected city electrical power failure that compounded issues with the plant’s water system, which have been corrected. The facility is fully operational.

Genzyme estimates that it will need to continue the 50 percent shipping allocation for 2-3 months. The company will provide a more precise supply update within a month, after determining whether Cerezyme material that was unfinished when the interruption occurred can be finished, the impact of the pending consent decree on product release timelines and a more accurate assessment of global demand.

Fabrazyme

Genzyme has made progress in increasing the productivity of the Fabrazyme manufacturing process. The first run of a new working cell bank (WCB) resulted in a 30 percent increase in productivity, and a second run is underway. Genzyme’s goal is to increase productivity an additional 30 percent.

Genzyme estimates that it will need to continue the 30 percent shipping allocation through the third quarter. The company will provide a more precise update within a month once additional information is available about the productivity of the new WCB, as well as the timing of regulatory clearance of the new WCB, the impact of the pending consent decree on product release timelines and whether Genzyme is able to finish the small amount of work-in-process Fabrazyme material that was unfinished when the interruption occurred at the Allston plant.

Genzyme will continue to work with minimal levels of inventory for Cerezyme and Fabrazyme until the company’s new Framingham manufacturing facility is approved, which is anticipated to take place in late 2011, and any additional manufacturing delays will likely impact supply of these products.

Across the company’s manufacturing operations, programs to expand capacity are on-track. The new Framingham plant is mechanically complete. Pre-operational activities, including cell culture, media preparation, bioreactor validation and staff training, are currently taking place. Engineering and process validation runs are planned for this year. At its Geel, Belgium facility, Genzyme is adding a third bioreactor for the production of Myozyme, and approval is anticipated in mid-2011. The company is also working to transition fill/finish operations out of its Allston facility to its Waterford, Ireland plant and to a contract manufacturer.

First Quarter Results and Business Updates

Personalized Genetic Health

Within the Personalized Genetic Health segment (previously called Genetic Diseases) first-quarter sales of Myozyme® (alglucosidase alfa) increased 28 percent to $86.1 million from $67.4 million in the same period in 2009. First-quarter revenue was down from fourth-quarter 2009 sales, reflecting an $8 million shipment that was delayed for a release hold at the end of the first quarter. It was subsequently shipped early in the second quarter.

New patients continued to begin treatment with Myozyme during the first quarter. Expansion is ongoing worldwide, and Genzyme plans new regulatory filings in more than 15 countries during 2010. Positive results from the Late-Onset Treatment Study of Myozyme were published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine. The trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment in older children and adults with Pompe disease.

A June 17 PDUFA date has been set by the FDA for the marketing application of Lumizyme™ (alglucosidase alfa) produced at the 4000L scale. Genzyme in December reopened enrollment in the Alglucosidase Alfa Temporary Access Program (ATAP), a U.S. program which provides access to treatment for severely affected adults with Pompe disease prior to commercial approval of Lumizyme. The ATAP program will remain active until commercial approval of Lumizyme. Genzyme is currently providing therapy free of charge to more than 200 patients in the United States.

First-quarter sales of Cerezyme were $179.1 million compared with $296.0 million in the first quarter of last year. Cerezyme revenue increased 70 percent from $105.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, reflecting the resumption of product shipments to patients in approximately 100 countries. Sales of Fabrazyme in the first quarter were $53.2 million, compared with $122.2 million in the same period last year.

Genzyme’s Personalized Genetic Health segment now includes the company’s cardiovascular business, enabling this business to build upon its expertise in registry development, reimbursement and patient advocacy. The cardiovascular business includes the mipomersen development program, Cholestagel® (colesevelam hydrochloride), and product sales and royalties from Welchol® (colesevelam hydrochloride). Genzyme markets Cholestagel in Europe for the treatment of patients with the genetic disease familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and for statin-intolerant patients. Mipomersen is being developed initially for FH patients with severe hypercholesterolemia.

Biosurgery

Within the Biosurgery segment, sales of Synvisc® (hylan G-F 20) increased 26 percent to $79.5 million from $63.2 million in the first quarter of 2009. This growth was driven by Synvisc-One® (hylan G-F 20), which was launched in the United States in March 2009 and is the only single-injection viscosupplement approved for the treatment of osteoarthritis knee pain. First-quarter 2010 sales were down from $95.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, reflecting the annual seasonality trend in the viscosupplement market, in which sales typically decline in the first quarter, and peak during the second quarter.

Sales of Sepra® products grew 8 percent to $37.2 million, from $34.3 million in the same period last year, with growth driven by increasing use of the Seprafilm® adhesion barrier in C-section and other gynecologic procedures.

Renal and Endocrinology

Within this segment, sales of Genzyme’s sevelamer therapies, Renvela® (sevelamer carbonate) and Renagel® (sevelamer hydrochloride), were $164.6 million, compared with $170.6 million during the first quarter of 2009. While sevelamer volume grew by 4 percent year over year, Renagel pricing in Brazil and conversion to Renvela in the United States resulted in a decrease in revenue. Genzyme last year lowered the price of Renagel in Brazil to compete with generics marketed in that country. Genzyme had raised the price of Renagel in the United States last year to encourage conversion to Renvela, and revenue reflects the increasing percentage of Renvela sales within total U.S. sevelamer revenue. The U.S. market share for sevelamer grew during the first quarter and is currently 51 percent.

The ongoing launch of Renvela in Europe continues to progress well, with launches in the key markets of France, Spain, Italy and the U.K. planned in the coming months. The U.S. launch of the powder formulation of Renvela is also exceeding expectations.

Sales of Thyrogen® (thyrotropin alfa for injection) increased 18 percent to $45.6 million from $38.8 million in the first quarter of 2009, driven by increased utilization of the treatment in thyroid remnant ablation procedures.

Hematology and Oncology

Within this segment, revenue from Mozobil® (plerixafor injection) grew 75 percent to $18.9 million from $10.8 million in the first quarter last year. Mozobil was launched in the United States in January 2009 and in Europe in August 2009, and additional worldwide launches are ongoing. First-quarter growth in this segment was also driven by sales of Clolar® (clofarabine injection), which increased 36 percent to $24.7 million from $18.2 million in the same period a year ago, with significant volume growth seen in all major markets.

Sales of Thymoglobulin® (anti-thymocyte globulin, rabbit), which is now being included in this segment, were $52.9 million, compared with $50.7 million in the first quarter of 2009, due primarily to increased sales in Asia.

Results from several clinical trials have been submitted for presentation at the June American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting, including results of a phase 3 trial of Leukine® (sargramostim) in melanoma, Leukine data in prostate cancer, and Clolar data in myelodysplastic syndromes, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and acute myeloid leukemia.

Other Revenue

Other revenue – which now includes the company’s Genetics, Diagnostics, and Pharmaceuticals businesses – was $135.9 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Operating Expenses

Genzyme’s GAAP SG&A was $553.3 million, including $175 million consent decree expense, compared with $317.9 million in the first quarter of 2009. Non-GAAP SG&A was $352.8 million compared with $294.1 million in the same period last year. The increase was lower than anticipated, reflecting strong expense controls across the company. The company’s GAAP R&D was $220.9 million compared with $206.9 million in last year’s first quarter; non-GAAP R&D was $206.5 million compared with $193.4 million in the first quarter of 2009. Last year’s R&D included $18 million of expense associated with the Exact Sciences transaction. Amortization expense was $71 million compared with $57.6 million in the same period last year, due primarily to the Bayer transaction.

Late-Stage R&D Programs

Genzyme made excellent progress during the first quarter across its late-stage pipeline:

  • Four-year follow-up data from Genzyme’s completed phase 2 trial of alemtuzumab in multiple sclerosis patients were presented at last week’s American Academy of Neurology meeting. Results of the four-year review found that an estimated 71 percent of alemtuzumab-treated patients remain free of clinically active disease as much as three years after most patients received their last course of the investigational therapy. Two phase 3 studies are ongoing, and results are expected next year.
  • Enrollment is underway in two global, multi-center, phase 3 trials of eliglustat tartrate, Genzyme’s investigational oral therapy for patients with Gaucher disease type 1. There are currently a total of 30 active sites for these trials, with additional sites preparing to begin enrollment. Results of the phase 2 trial of eliglustat tartrate are expected to be published in the journal Blood next month. This therapy has the potential to transform the treatment experience for patients by providing a daily oral capsule option instead of bi-weekly infusions lasting several hours or more.
  • Genzyme and Isis Pharmaceuticals Inc. in February reported positive results from the second phase 3 study of mipomersen, in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Phase 3 data in patients with homozygous FH were published last month in The Lancet. The companies expect data from two additional phase 3 studies in mid-2010; one involves patients with severe hypercholesterolemia and the other includes hypercholesterolemic patients at high risk for coronary heart disease.

Notes:
(1) Represents the Non-GAAP results of operations for Genzyme Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2010. We believe that certain Non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance the overall understanding of the company's past financial performance and its prospects for the future. The Non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of the trends underlying our operating results and financial position and are among the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the company's performance. Such Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or used as a substitute for GAAP. Earnings per share are calculated as net income (loss) divided by weighted average shares outstanding. Therefore, earnings per share may not add across due to rounding.
 

(2) GAAP diluted net loss per share and diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2010 excludes the effect of all common stock equivalents because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to our net loss for the period.
