"Our performance in the fourth quarter closed out a year of strong performance across our business highlighted by record full year revenue from royalties, growing 130% from last year driven by the continued adoption of our wave 2 partner products subcutaneous DARZALEX^® and Phesgo^® (pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and hyaluronidase-zzxf)," said Dr. Helen Torley, president and chief executive officer.

We project further expansion and maturing of our pipeline, with 4 new targets entering Phase 1 development and at least 5 products advancing to Phase 2 or Phase 3 development. We are also excited to be starting development of a higher yield ENHANZE^® API as well as a new rHuPH20 with extended room temperature stability and patent protection to 2032 in Europe and 2034 in the U.S."

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights

Revenue for the fourth quarter was $102.0 million compared to $121.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue under collaboration agreement and product sales, partially offset by an increase in royalty revenue primarily attributable to subcutaneous DARZALEX^®(daratumumab). Revenue for the quarter included $62.6 million in royalties, an increase of 96% compared to $32.0 million in the prior year period.

Total revenues for the full year were $443.3 million, compared with $267.6 million in 2020, representing growth of 66% year over year.
Cost of product sales for the fourth quarter was $21.6 million, compared to $26.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower product sales, principally the sales of bulk rHuPH20 to the Company's partners.

Cost of product sales for the full year was $81.4 million, compared to $43.4 million in 2020, primarily driven by higher product sales, principally the sales of bulk rHuPH20 to the Company's partners.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter were $10.1 million, compared to $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase is primarily due to an increase in compensation expense, including stock-based compensation, for personnel to support additional ENHANZE^® targets entering clinical development.

Research and development expenses for the full year were $35.7 million, compared with $34.2 million in 2020.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter were $13.8 million, compared to $10.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense, including stock-based compensation, for personnel to support additional ENHANZE^® targets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the full year were $50.3 million, compared with $45.7 million in 2020.
Operating Income: On a GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2021, operating income was $56.5 million, compared to an operating income of $77.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Operating income for the full year was $275.9 million, compared to $144.3 million in 2020.
Net Income: On a GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2021, net income was $66.8 million, compared with net income of $73.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP net income was $61.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared with Non-GAAP net income of $80.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.¹Net income for the full year on a GAAP basis was $402.7 million or $2.74 per share, compared to a net income of $129.1 million or $0.91 per share in 2020. This year over year comparison is impacted by the one-time tax benefit of $1.05 per share in 2021 as a result of the tax valuation allowance release.

Net income for the full year on a non-GAAP basis was $294.1 million compared with $160.4 million in 2020.
Earnings per Share: On a GAAP basis in the fourth quarter of 2021, diluted earnings per share was $0.46, compared with $0.50 in the fourth quarter of 2020. On a Non-GAAP basis diluted earnings per share was $0.42, compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.56 in the fourth quarter of 2020.¹GAAP diluted earnings per share for the full year was $2.74 compared with $0.91 per share in 2020. These GAAP results included the one-time recognition of a non-cash income tax benefit during 2021 of $1.05 per share. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for the full year was $2.00 per share, compared to $1.12 per share in 2020.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $740.9 million on December 31, 2021, compared to $368.0 million on December 31, 2020.

Financial Outlook for 2022

The Company is reiterating its financial guidance for 2022 first provided on January 10, 2022. For the full year 2022, the Company expects:

Total revenue of $530 million to $560 million, representing growth of 20%-26% over 2021 total revenue. The Company expects revenue from royalties to increase approximately 50% over revenue from royalties in 2021 to approximately $300 million.
GAAP operating income of $350 million to $380 million, representing growth of 27%-38% over 2021 GAAP operating income, resulting in operating margins greater than 65%.
GAAP net income of $270 million to $295 million; and non-GAAP net income of $290 million to $315 million.¹The Company notes that 2022 will be the first full fiscal year in which Halozyme will record income tax expense as part of its income statement.
GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.90 to $2.05, inclusive of the first full year of income tax expense, projected to be $0.55-$0.60 per share. In comparison, in 2021 the Company recorded a one-time non-cash income tax benefit of $154.2 million or $1.05 per share, related to the release of its tax valuation allowance.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share are expected to be $2.05 to $2.20,¹ reflective of the first full year in which the company will record income tax expense, projected to be $0.55-$0.60 per share.

The Company's earnings per share guidance does not consider the impact of potential future share repurchases.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables contain certain Non-GAAP financial measures. The Company reports Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company calculates Non-GAAP net income and Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of debt discount, debt extinguishment expense and certain adjustments to income tax expense. Reconciliations between GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures are included at the end of this press release. The Company evaluates other items of income and expense on an individual basis and considers both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including (i) its size and nature, (ii) whether or not it relates to the Company's ongoing business operations and (iii) whether or not the Company expects it to occur as part of Halozyme's normal business on a regular basis. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, from time to time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures; and the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its Non-GAAP financial measures. Halozyme considers these Non-GAAP financial measures to be important because they provide useful measures of the operating performance of the Company, exclusive of factors that do not directly affect what the Company considers to be its core operating performance, as well as unusual events. The Non-GAAP measures also allow investors and analysts to make additional comparisons of the operating activities of the Company's core business over time and with respect to other companies, as well as assessing trends and future expectations.

Safe Harbor Statement

In addition to historical information, the statements set forth in this press release include forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements concerning the Company's expected future financial performance (including the Company's financial outlook for 2022) and expectations for future growth, profitability, total revenue and royalty revenue, net and operating income and earnings-per-share and the Company's plans to repurchase shares under its share repurchase program. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's ENHANZE^® drug delivery technology may include the possible benefits and attributes of ENHANZE^®, its potential application to aid in the dispersion and absorption of other injected therapeutic drugs and facilitating more rapid delivery and administration of larger volumes of injectable medications through subcutaneous delivery. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's ENHANZE^® business may include potential growth and receipt of royalty and milestone payments driven by our partners' development and commercialization efforts, potential new clinical trial study starts, the size and growth prospects of our partners' drug franchises, potential new ENHANZE^® collaborations and collaborative targets and regulatory review and potential approvals of new ENHANZE^® products and the Company's plans to develop new formulations of its API for longer intellectual property protection. These forward-looking statements are typically, but not always, identified through use of the words "believe," "enable," "may," "will," "could," "intends," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "predict," "probable," "potential," "possible," "should," "continue," and other words of similar meaning and involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations contained in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including unexpected levels of revenues, expenditures and costs, unexpected delays in the execution of the Company's share repurchase program, unexpected results or delays in the growth of the Company's ENHANZE^® business, or in the development, regulatory review or commercialization of new formulations of the Company's API or its partners' ENHANZE^® products, including any potential delays caused by the current COVID-19 global pandemic, regulatory approval requirements, unexpected adverse events or patient outcomes and competitive conditions. These and other factors that may result in differences are discussed in greater detail in the Company's most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
