BASEL, Switzerland & BEIJING & CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BeiGene, Ltd. (NASDAQ: BGNE; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global biotechnology company, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, recent business highlights, and upcoming milestones.

“We had an outstanding fourth quarter and 2022, with revenues from our two cornerstone medicines, BRUKINSA® and tislelizumab, dramatically increasing as our global team continues to bring these innovative therapies to more patients and their caregivers,” said John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at BeiGene. “The final progression-free survival (PFS) analysis of the ALPINE trial demonstrating superior efficacy and a favorable cardiac safety profile compared to IMBRUVICA® in relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and the recent U.S. FDA approval for BRUKINSA in adult patients with CLL/SLL were the most impactful of many recent milestones for our company and a testament to our commitment to following the science.”

“Our fourth quarter results continue to demonstrate BeiGene’s commercial capability as well as our commitment to driving operational and financial excellence,” said Julia Wang, Chief Financial Officer at BeiGene. “With our strong cash position and total product revenue reaching $1.3 billion in 2022, BeiGene is well positioned to leverage its global scale and financial strength for long-term growth.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

Revenue for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 was $380.1 million and $1.4 billion, respectively, compared to $214.0 million and $1.2 billion in the prior-year periods. The increase in total revenue in the quarter compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to sales of our internally developed products, BRUKINSA and tislelizumab; sales of in-licensed products from Amgen; and collaboration revenue from the Novartis agreements.

  • Product revenues totaled $339.0 million and $1.3 billion for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $196.8 million and $634.0 million in the prior-year periods, and include:
    • Global sales of BRUKINSA of $176.1 million and $564.7 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $87.6 million and $218.0 million in the prior-year periods;
    • Sales of tislelizumab in China of $102.2 million and $422.9 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $54.4 million and $255.1 million in the prior-year periods;
    • Sales of Amgen in-licensed products in China of $27.7 million and $114.6 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $20.3 million and $58.8 million in the prior-year periods. We began selling Amgen's BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab) in August 2021. Additionally, prior-year period sales do not include sales of KYPROLIS® (carfilzomib), which was launched in China in January 2022;
    • Sales of BMS in-licensed products in China of $21.4 million and $94.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $29.9 million and $89.7 million in the prior-year periods; and
  • Collaboration revenue totaled $41.1 million and $161.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, resulting from the partial recognition of the upfront payments from Novartis related to the tislelizumab and ociperlimab agreements, which were entered into in the first and fourth quarters of 2021. This compared to $17.2 million and $542.3 million in the prior-year periods. Full year 2021 collaboration revenue benefited from the timing of revenue recognition from the upfront license payment from Novartis under the tislelizumab agreement.

Cost of Sales for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 were $73.5 million and $286.5 million, respectively, compared to $48.5 million and $164.9 million in the prior-year periods. Cost of sales increased primarily due to increased product sales of BRUKINSA and tislelizumab, as well as sales of BLINCYTO, which commenced in August 2021, and KYPROLIS and POBEVCY®, which commenced in January 2022;

Gross Margin as a percentage of global product sales for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 was 78.3% and 77.2%, respectively, compared to 75.3% and 74.0% in the prior-year periods. The gross margin percentage increased in both the quarter-over-quarter and year-over year periods primarily due to a proportionally higher sales mix of global BRUKINSA sales compared to other products in our portfolio and compared to lower margin sales of in-licensed products, as well as lower costs per unit for both BRUKINSA and tislelizumab, partially offset by lower average selling prices in China for both BRUKINSA and tislelizumab.

Operating Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 were $775.2 million and $2.9 billion, respectively, compared to $737.2 million and $2.5 billion in the prior-year periods.

  • R&D Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 were $446.0 million and $1.6 billion, respectively, compared to $430.5 million and $1.5 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 clinical research organizations (CROs) for clinical trials. Upfront fees related to in-process R&D for in-licensed assets totaled $48.7 million and $68.7 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $30.0 million and $83.5 million in the prior-year periods. Employee share-based compensation expense was $35.0 million and $139.3 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $30.6 million and $114.4 million in the prior-year periods; and
  • SG&A Expenses for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 were $329.0 million and $1.3 billion, respectively, compared to $306.5 million and $990.1 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, and higher external commercial expenses, including market access studies and promotional activities. Employee share-based compensation expense was $43.2 million and $163.8 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2022, respectively, compared to $32.4 million and $126.4 million for the prior-year periods.

Net Loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $445.3 million, or $0.33 per share and $4.29 per ADS, compared to $590.7 million, or $0.48 per share and $6.22 per ADS in the prior year period. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to improved operating leverage due to growing product revenues exceeding operating expense growth. The company expects this trend to continue into 2023. Net loss for full year 2022 was $2.0 billion, or $1.49 per share and $19.43 per ADS, compared to $1.5 billion, or $1.21 per share and $15.71 per ADS in the prior-year period. Net loss for 2022 was unfavorably impacted by other non-operating expenses of $223.9 million, primarily related to foreign exchange losses resulting from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and the revaluation impact of foreign currencies held in U.S. functional currency subsidiaries. Net loss for the full year 2021 was positively impacted by the timing of revenue recognition related to the Novartis tislelizumab collaboration agreement. The company recognized $484.6 million in the full year 2021 of the $650.0 million upfront payment received.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Short-Term Investments were $4.5 billion as of December 31, 2022, compared to $6.6 billion as of December 31, 2021.

  • In the fourth quarter of 2022, cash used in operating activities was $318.2 million, primarily due to our net loss of $445.3 million, offset by non-cash charges of $127.3 million; capital expenditures were $121.4 million; and cash used in financing activities was $110.4 million;

    In the fourth quarter of the prior year, cash used in operating activities was $507.8 million, primarily due to our net loss of $590.7 million, offset by non-cash charges of $92.7 million; capital expenditures were $115.0 million; and cash provided by financing activities was $3.4 billion, primarily due to the STAR Market offering in December of 2021; and

  • For the full year 2022, cash used in operating activities was $1.5 billion, primarily due to our net loss of $2.0 billion, inclusive of $223.9 million of other losses due primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and the related revaluation of foreign currencies held by U.S. functional currency subsidiaries, non-cash charges of $374.8 million and a decrease in our net operating assets and liabilities of $132.4 million.

    For the full year 2021, cash used in operating activities was $1.3 billion, primarily due to our net loss of $1.5 billion and an increase in our net operating assets and liabilities of $118.3 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $277.4 million; capital expenditures were $262.9 million; and cash provided by financing activities was $3.6 billion, primarily due to the net proceeds from the STAR Market offering in December of 2021.
