Earnings Highlights and Summary

Tesaro reported total revenues of $142.8 million for Q3 2017 compared to $17.0 million for Q3 2016. The Company’s revenue numbers exceeded analysts’ expectations of $121.3 million.

During Q3 2017, Tesaro’s cost of sales totaled $7.5 million, and included $6.2 million associated with product revenue, and $1.3 million related to amortization of milestones recorded upon the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s approval of ZEJULA and first commercial sales of VARUBI/VARUBY in the US and Europe. The Company’s cost of sales totaled $0.8 million for Q3 2016.

Tesaro’s research and development (R&D) expenses increased to $73.4 million for Q3 2017 compared to $60.8 million for Q3 2016, driven primarily by an increased headcount, the advancement of the Company’s earlier-stage immuno-oncology portfolio, and the expansion of the TSR-042 and TSR-022 programs.

For Q3 2017, Tesaro’s selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased to $84.0 million compared to $37.7 million for Q3 2016, primarily due to an increased headcount, activities in support of the launches of ZEJULA and VARUBY in the US and Europe, and higher professional service fees.

Tesaro’s net loss totaled $25.3 million, or $0.47 per share, for Q3 2017 compared to a net loss of $87.9 million, or $1.72 per share, for Q3 2016. The Company’s loss was lower than Wall Street’s estimates of $1.04 per share.

Segment Results

During Q3 2017, Tesaro’s net product revenue totaled $41.8 million compared to $1.3 million for Q3 2016. The growth was driven by the continued strong launch of ZEJULA in the US. ZEJULA’s net revenue totaled $39.4 million, while VARUBI/VARUBY’s revenues totaled $2.4 million compared to $1.3 million for Q3 2016.

In the reported quarter, approximately 65% of prescriptions were filled through Tesaro’s specialty pharmacy channel and the remainder were filled by specialty distributors.

For Q3 2017, Tesaro’s license, collaboration, and other revenue totaled $101.0 million, and included the $100.0 million up-front payment received as part of the license agreement with Takeda. This compares to license, collaboration, and other revenue of $15.7 million for Q3 2016, which included the majority of the $15.0 million up-front payment received as part of the Zai Lab license agreement.

Recent Business Developments

On October 25, 2017, the FDA approved the intravenous (IV) formulation of VARUBI® (rolapitant), and the US commercial launch was planned for November. The unit demand for VARUBI oral capsules increased 74% on a y-o-y basis for Q3 2017 as the brand continues to penetrate the US oral NK-1 market.

Tesaro initiated clinical trials to support the planned Phase-3 studies of niraparib combined with its anti-PD-1 antibody, TSR-042, in patients with lung and ovarian cancers and to evaluate niraparib plus TSR-042 in patients with advanced or metastatic cancers suitable for treatment with an anti-PD-1 antibody, including ovarian and lung.
