BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2023, highlighted select corporate achievements and provided an overview of its key business initiatives.

• Gross royalty revenue from Glaxo Group Limited (“GSK”) for the second quarter 2023 was $65.7 million, which included royalties of $54.4 million from global net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and royalties of $11.3 million from global net sales of ANORO® ELLIPTA® compared to $111.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, which included royalties of $59.3 million from global net sales of RELVAR®/BREO® ELLIPTA® and $9.6 million from global net sales of ANORO® ELLIPTA®, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of our subsidiary, Theravance Respiratory Company, and its TRELEGY® ELLIPTA® royalty stream in July 2022.
  
• Net product sales and license revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $18.7 million, which included $11.2 million from GIAPREZA® net sales, $4.5 million from XERAVA® net sales and an $3.0 million milestone payment from our partner for FDA approval of XACDURO®.
  
• Net income was $1.3 million, or $0.02 basic per share, for the second quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $0.9 million, or $0.01 basic per share, for the second quarter of 2022.
  
• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $173.0 million. Royalty, product sales and milestone receivables totaled $81.0 million as of June 30, 2023.

“The second quarter of 2023 was marked by strong revenues stemming from our robust royalty portfolio and historically highest sales from our internal product portfolio,” said Pavel Raifeld, Chief Executive Officer of Innoviva. “We ended the quarter on a strong note with the approval of XACDURO® (sulbactam for injection; durlobactam for injection) for treatment of hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia. This is the first pathogen-targeted therapy to be approved for these life-threatening infections caused by Acinetobacter Baumannii-calcoaceticus complex, and we plan to bring this product to patients later this year. We remained disciplined on costs and saw meaningful operational progress among our investees, market volatility notwithstanding. We are excited about the prospects of our business and continue to pursue shareholder value accretive activities, such as share repurchases.”
