Royalties of $54.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 for RELVAR^®/BREO^® ELLIPTA^® and ANORO^® ELLIPTA^®
Net product sales of $14.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 for GIAPREZA^® and XERAVA^®
$100 million share repurchase program initiated in the fourth quarter of 2022

Innoviva, Inc. (NASDAQ:INVA) ("Innoviva" or "the Company"), a diversified holding company with a portfolio of royalties and other healthcare assets, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Gross royalty revenues of $54.7 million from Glaxo Group Limited ("GSK") for the fourth quarter of 2022 included royalties of $44.3 million from global net sales of RELVAR^®/BREO^® ELLIPTA^® and royalties of $10.4 million from global net sales of ANORO^® ELLIPTA^®.
Income before income taxes decreased to a loss of $64.7 million, compared to income of $56.5 million in the same quarter of 2021, driven primarily by reduced royalty revenue contribution following Theravance Respiratory Company LLC ("TRC") divestiture partially offset by GIAPREZA^® and XERAVA^® revenues, incremental operating expenses related to recent acquisitions, and adverse contribution from net changes in fair value of equity and long-term investments.
Decrease in fair values of equity and long-term investments of $85.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 was driven mainly by a $117.3 million unrealized loss related to share price decline for Armata Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Armata") over the time period, much of which has since been recouped due to favorable year to date share price performance in 2023.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $201.7 million in 2022, compared to $363.8 million in 2021, driven primarily by reduced revenues following TRC divestiture as well as additional incremental operating expenses, including one-time costs, following recent acquisitions.
Net cash and cash equivalents totaled $291.0 million, and royalty and product sale receivables totaled $64.1 million as of December 31, 2022.

Pavel Raifeld, Chief Executive Officer of Innoviva, stated: "Our diversified core royalty business remains solid. RELVAR^®/BREO^® ELLIPTA^® global net sales decreased in the fourth quarter of 2022 primarily due to unfavorable prior period adjustments in the U.S., despite stable volume trends. ANORO^® ELLIPTA^® global net sales decreased slightly compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 mainly due to foreign exchange rate changes."

Mr. Raifeld continued: "We continue to advance our strategy of building a best-in-class hospital and infectious disease business formed through acquisitions of Entasis Therapeutics and La Jolla Pharmaceutical. Notably, GIAPREZA^® and XERAVA^® had their strongest quarter ever, the FDA accepted our SUL-DUR NDA with Priority Review, and enrollment in our Phase 3 registrational trial of zoliflodacin remains on track, with study completion anticipated in 2023. We believe this platform will afford us multiple opportunities to create and crystalize shareholder value."

"While capital markets volatility has significantly impacted income over the past quarter, primarily manifesting through decline in Armata's share price, most losses have been recouped following recent stock rallies. We remain excited about our prospects and continue to be disciplined with our capital, executing on the $100 million share buyback program and optimizing our operating footprint following recent acquisitions," said Mr. Raifeld.
