2018 Financial Guidance(3)
The Company's updated full year 2018 financial guidance consists of the following components:
Sanofi collaboration revenue: Sanofi |
$430 million–$455 million (previously $455 million–$485 million) |
Non-GAAP unreimbursed R&D(2)(4) |
$1.190 billion–$1.225 billion (previously $1.210 billion–$1.260 billion) |
Non-GAAP SG&A(2)(4) |
$1.330 billion–$1.370 billion (previously $1.340 billion–$1.390 billion) |
Effective tax rate |
11%–13% (previously 13%–16%) |
Capital expenditures |
$360 million–$390 million (previously $410 million–$450 million) |
(1) |
Regeneron records net product sales of EYLEA in the United States. Outside the United States, EYLEA net product sales comprise sales by Bayer in countries other than Japan and sales by Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in Japan under a co-promotion agreement with an affiliate of Bayer. The Company recognizes its share of the profits (including a percentage on sales in Japan) from EYLEA sales outside the United States within "Bayer collaboration revenue" in its Statements of Operations. |
||||||||
(2) |
This press release uses non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, non-GAAP unreimbursed R&D, and non-GAAP SG&A, which are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures are computed by excluding certain non-cash and other items from the related GAAP financial measure. Non-GAAP adjustments also include the estimated income tax effect of reconciling items. |
||||||||
The Company makes such adjustments for items the Company does not view as useful in evaluating its operating performance. For example, adjustments may be made for items that fluctuate from period to period based on factors that are not within the Company's control (such as the Company's stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued or changes in the fair value of the Company's equity investments) or items that are not associated with normal, recurring operations (such as changes in applicable laws and regulations). Management uses these non-GAAP measures for planning, budgeting, forecasting, assessing historical performance, and making financial and operational decisions, and also provides forecasts to investors on this basis. Additionally, such non-GAAP measures provide investors with an enhanced understanding of the financial performance of the Company's core business operations. However, there are limitations in the use of these and other non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude certain expenses that are recurring in nature. Furthermore, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Any non-GAAP financial measure presented by Regeneron should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's historical GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in Table 3 of this press release. |

The Company's 2018 financial guidance does not assume the completion of any significant business development transactions not completed as of the date of this press release. |
