of:
-- A 20 percent increase in VELCADE U.S. net sales to $265.2 million;
and
-- A 24 percent increase in royalties to $166.9 million, as a result
of strong growth in VELCADE sales outside of the U.S. This growth
led to the earlier than anticipated achievement of a non-recurring
$40 million milestone from Ortho Biotech Products, L.P., a member
of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies, which was due when
VELCADE sales outside of the U.S. surpassed $500 million. The
milestone was recorded as strategic alliance revenue.
This strong revenue growth was partially offset by:
-- A six percent increase in combined non-GAAP selling, general and
administrative (SG&A) and non-GAAP research and development (R&D)
expense to $451.0 million (corresponding GAAP SG&A and GAAP R&D
expense, including stock-based compensation, of
$476.2 million).(2) The increase was the result of enhanced sales
and marketing investment to support the continued growth of
VELCADE, offset in part by a four percent decrease in non-GAAP
R&D expense.
-- The Company achieved full-year GAAP net income of $14.9 million or
GAAP earnings per share of $0.05. The transition to GAAP
profitability from a GAAP net loss in 2006 of $44.0 million was
primarily the result of the drivers listed above as well as a
$17.0 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a
$7.5 million decrease in restructuring charges.
-- As of December 31, 2007, the Company had $891.3 million in cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities. The outstanding principal
amount of convertible debt was $250.0 million.
