Conference call scheduled for 8:00 a.m. ET today
WALTHAM, Mass, Feb. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Radius Health, Inc. (“Radius” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: RDUS), today reported its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2019 and provided a business update.
“I am very pleased that TYMLOS exited 2019 with a December majority share of postmenopausal osteoporosis patients starting on anabolic therapy in the U.S. market. In 2020, we have three critical objectives: continue expanding our market share for TYMLOS, reach anabolic total market share leadership, and complete recruitment in our three pivotal Phase 3 studies,” said Jesper Hoeiland, President and Chief Executive Officer of Radius.
TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection
- Fourth quarter 2019 U.S. net sales of TYMLOS were $55.7 million, a 19% increase over the prior quarter and 62% increase from the fourth quarter of 2018. Full-year 2019 U.S. net sales of TYMLOS were $173.3 million, a 75% increase over full-year 2018.
- In 2019, TYMLOS captured, on average, 36% of the U.S. anabolic osteoporosis market (based on Patient Months on Therapy, TRx PMOT). In the fourth quarter of 2019, TYMLOS’ average U.S. anabolic market share rose to 41% and it achieved a 50% share of new anabolic patient starts. Radius remains confident TYMLOS® will become the anabolic market leader (based on TRx2) in 2020.
- TYMLOS is covered for approximately 290 million U.S. insured lives, 99% of Commercial and 83% of Medicare Part D insured lives. The Medicare Part D coverage has increased 16 percentage points from 2019 due to decisions from Aetna, CIGNA and Anthem to cover TYMLOS for their Medicare Part D beneficiaries in 2020.
Pipeline Highlights
Abaloparatide-SC
- Radius expects to complete recruitment of the ATOM Phase 3 Study, which is assessing the efficacy and safety of abaloparatide-SC in male osteoporosis, this year and report top-line data in the second half of 2021.
Abaloparatide-Patch
- The wearABLe Phase 3 study is open for enrollment at more than 60 clinical sites in the U.S., reflecting strong interest from investigators. The Company has implemented a revised enrollment plan, added more clinical sites in the U.S., and made progress filing regulatory submissions to expand sites outside the U.S. The screen failure rate which started higher than expected at the initiation of the study is improving, driven by higher screening success at targeted bone specialty sites.
- Radius expects to report top-line data from the study in the second half of 2021.
Elacestrant
- The EMERALD Phase 3 study is currently enrolling patients in multiple countries and is on track to complete recruitment of 466 patients in the third quarter of 2020.
Financial Highlights and Guidance
- With 2019 TYMLOS U.S. net sales reaching $173 million, Radius exceeded its 2019 full-year net sales guidance of $168 to $172 million. Radius closed 2019 with $161 million cash, cash equivalents and investments balance, driven by productivity initiatives, in line with its year-end guidance to exceed $130 million.
- For 2020, Radius expects full-year TYMLOS U.S. net revenue to be between $220 and $235 million and its full-year cash burn to be below $80 million.
- On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into a secured, non-dilutive credit facility for up to an aggregate amount of $95 million, comprised of a term loan of up to $55 million and a $20 million revolving credit facility based on accounts receivable and inventory, with the right, subject to certain conditions, to increase the revolver by $20 million. The credit facility has a maturity date of June 1, 2024. This funding is intended to support pre-launch activities for abaloparatide-patch, evaluation of opportunities in targeted endocrine diseases, and to strengthen the Company’s minimum cash balance toward profitability.
- Over the next three years (2020-2022) Radius expects TYMLOS revenue to grow at a greater than 20% compound annual growth rate and the Company to achieve profitability.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2019 Financial Results
Three months ended December 31, 2019
For the three months ended December 31, 2019, Radius reported a net loss of $24.7 million, or $0.54 per share, compared to a net loss of $41.1 million, or $0.90 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2018.
For the three months ended December 31, 2019, non-GAAP adjusted net loss, which excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation, depreciation, non-cash interest obligations under debt obligations, and amortization of intangible assets, was $13.3 million, or $0.29 per share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $30.0 million, or $0.66 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2018.
For the three months ended December 31, 2019 we recorded approximately $55.7 million of net product revenue compared to $34.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018.
For the three months ended December 31, 2019, research and development expense was $34.5 million compared to $23.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $10.6 million, or 44%. This increase was primarily driven by increases in elacestrant project costs and abaloparatide-patch project costs of $5.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively.
For the three months ended December 31, 2019, selling, general and administrative expense was $35.7 million compared to $43.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $8.2 million, or 19%. This decrease was primarily the result of a $4.4 million decrease in professional fees, a $2.3 million decrease in compensation and travel costs, and a $0.9 million decrease in other operating costs.
Twelve months Ended December 31, 2019
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, Radius reported a net loss of $133.0 million, or $2.89 per share, compared to a net loss of $221.4 million, or $4.88 per share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, non-GAAP adjusted net loss, which excludes expenses related to stock-based compensation, restructuring plans, depreciation, non-cash interest obligations under debt obligations, impairment of operating lease right of use assets, and amortization of intangible assets, was $90.9 million, or $1.98 per share, compared to non-GAAP adjusted net loss of $163.0 million, or $3.59 per share, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 we recorded approximately $173.3 million of net product revenue compared to $99.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, research and development expense was $116.8 million, as compared to $99.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of $16.8 million, or 17%. This increase was primarily a result of an increase of $16.1 million in program spending for the abaloparatide-patch program, a $9.8 million increase in program spending for elacestrant research, a $1.7 million increase in professional services, and $0.6 million increase in program spending for the abaloparatide-SC program. These increases were partially offset by a $1.9 million decrease in program spending for RAD-140 program, a $0.3 million decrease in R&D support costs as well as an $9.2 million decrease in compensation related costs.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, selling, general, and administrative expense was $152.7 million, as compared to $184.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, a decrease of $31.5 million, or 17%. This decrease was primarily due to a $10.0 million decrease in professional fees related to commercial operations and general and administrative activities, a $17.9 million decrease in compensation and travel entertainment costs and a $3.6 million decrease in other costs.
As of December 31, 2019, Radius had $161.5 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities. Based upon our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of December 31, 2019 and funds available to us through our credit facilities, we believe that, prior to the consideration of potential proceeds from partnering and/or collaboration activities, we have sufficient capital to fund our development plans, U.S. commercial and other operational activities for at least twelve months from the date of this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: non-GAAP adjusted net loss and non-GAAP net loss per share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain amounts or expenses from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors, taken in conjunction with Radius’ GAAP financial statements, because it provides greater transparency and period-over-period comparability with respect to Radius’ operating performance and can enhance investors’ ability to identify operating trends in our business. Management uses these measures, among other factors, to assess and analyze operational results and trends and to make financial and operational decisions. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of Radius’ operating results as reported under GAAP, not in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts. Reconciliations between these non-GAAP financial measures and the most comparable GAAP financial measures for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 are included in the tables accompanying this press release after the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

About TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection
TYMLOS (abaloparatide) injection was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture defined as history of osteoporotic fracture, multiple risk factors for fracture, or patients who have failed or are intolerant to other available osteoporosis therapy.
About ATOM Phase 3 Study
The ATOM Phase 3 study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess efficacy and safety of abaloparatide-SC in approximately 225 men with osteoporosis. The primary endpoint is change in lumbar spine BMD at 12 months compared with placebo, and if successful, will form the basis of a supplemental NDA seeking to expand the use of TYMLOS to treat men with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture.
About Abaloparatide-Patch and wearABLe Phase 3 Study
Abaloparatide-patch was developed in a collaboration between Radius and 3M Company with the application of 3M’s innovative microstructured transdermal patch technology. The Phase 3 wearABLe abaloparatide-patch study is the first pivotal study to evaluate treatment using a novel non-injectable delivery of an anabolic therapy. The wearABLe Phase 3 study is a pivotal, randomized, open label, active-controlled, bone mineral density (“BMD”) non-inferiority bridging study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of abaloparatide-patch versus TYMLOS (abaloparatide injection) in approximately 470 patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. The primary endpoint of the study is the percentage change in lumbar spine BMD at 12 months.
About Elacestrant (RAD1901)
Elacestrant is a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), which is being evaluated for potential use as a once daily oral treatment for hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. Elacestrant is currently being investigated for potential use in women with advanced estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative, breast cancer, the most common form of the disease. Studies completed to date indicate that the compound has the potential for use as a single agent or in combination with other therapies for the treatment of breast cancer.
