– LINZESS® (Iinaclotide) EUTRx prescription
demand growth of 13% year-over-year –
– Remains on track to complete apraglutide NDA
submission in Q1 2025 –
– Maintains Full Year 2024 Financial Guidance
–
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: IRWD), a GI-focused
healthcare company, today reported its third quarter 2024 results
and recent business performance.
“LINZESS continued to deliver robust prescription demand growth
in the third quarter,” said Tom McCourt, chief executive officer of
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals. “LINZESS extended units and new-to-brand
prescriptions each increased 13% year-over-year, respectively,
reinforcing that patients and health care professionals continue to
choose LINZESS in a growing market. Although LINZESS has faced
pricing headwinds throughout 2024, we are maintaining our full year
financial guidance. With apraglutide, we continue making progress
in preparing the NDA submission and remain on track to complete the
submission in the first quarter of 2025. Our team is focused on
getting apraglutide to market as soon as possible, and we look
forward to providing more updates on our progress in the months
ahead. We believe that, if approved, apraglutide would be the drug
of choice among physicians to treat adult patients with short bowel
syndrome who are dependent on parenteral support.”

Pipeline Updates
Apraglutide
- Ironwood is advancing apraglutide, a next-generation, synthetic
glucagon-like peptide-2 (“GLP-2”) analog for short bowel syndrome
(“SBS”) patients dependent on parenteral support (“PS”), a severe
chronic malabsorptive condition. Ironwood believes apraglutide has
the potential to improve the standard of care for adult patients
with SBS who are dependent on PS as the first and only GLP-2 with
once-weekly administration, if approved.
- Ironwood is working to submit a new drug application (“NDA”) to
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and marketing
applications to other regulatory agencies for apraglutide for the
treatment of adult patients with SBS who are dependent on PS.
CNP-104
- In the third quarter of 2024, Ironwood received from COUR
Pharmaceutical Development Company, Inc. (“COUR”) the topline data
from COUR’s Phase II clinical study for the treatment of primary
biliary cholangitis. On September 27, 2024, Ironwood notified COUR
of its decision not to exercise the option to acquire an exclusive
license to CNP-104. As a result, the collaboration and license
option agreement between Ironwood and COUR terminated, and Ironwood
retains no rights and has no obligations related to CNP-104.
IW-3300
- Ironwood is advancing IW-3300, a guanylate cyclase-C agonist
for the potential treatment of visceral pain conditions, such as
interstitial cystitis / bladder pain syndrome (“IC/BPS”) and
endometriosis. Ironwood has decided to end further recruitment for
the Phase II proof of concept study in IC/BPS and analyze the data
once all currently enrolled patients complete the full 12-week
study assessment, which will inform the next steps on the
program.
Revolving Credit Facility
- In September 2024, Ironwood entered into a first amendment to
its revolving credit agreement to, among other things, increase the
quantum of the revolving credit facility from $500.0 million to
$550.0 million, extend the maturity date, and increase Ironwood’s
permitted maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio.
Additional details can be found in Ironwood’s Form 8-K filing dated
September 30, 2024.

2024 was $91.6 million, compared to $113.7 million in the third
quarter of 2023.
- As noted above, revenue was lower year-over-year, primarily due
to the decrease in collaborative arrangements revenue.

million associated with Ironwood’s share of the net profits from
the sales of LINZESS in the U.S., and $2.7 million in royalties and

2023.
- Income Tax Expense. Ironwood recorded $13.7 million of
income tax expense in the third quarter of 2024, the majority of
which was non-cash, as Ironwood continues to utilize net operating
losses to offset taxable income for federal purposes and in many
states. Ironwood recorded $18.0 million of income tax expense in
the third quarter of 2023, the majority of which was non-cash, as
Ironwood continued to utilize net operating losses to offset
taxable income for federal purposes and in many states.

income attributable to Ironwood was $3.6 million, or $0.02 per
share (basic and diluted) in the third quarter of 2024, compared to

or $0.14 per share (basic) and $0.12 diluted in the third quarter
of 2023.
- Non-GAAP net income excludes the impact of mark-to-market
adjustments on the derivatives related to Ironwood’s 2022
Convertible Notes, amortization of acquired intangible assets,
restructuring expenses and acquisition-related costs, all net of
tax effect. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.
- Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA was $26.2 million in
the third quarter of 2024, compared to $49.1 million in the third
quarter of 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting mark-to-market
adjustments on derivatives related to Ironwood’s 2022 Convertible
Notes, restructuring expenses, net interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization, and acquisition-related costs, from
GAAP net loss. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

- Ironwood generated $9.9 million in cash from operations in the
third quarter of 2024, compared to $32.5 million in cash from
operations in the third quarter of 2023.
- Ironwood 2024 Financial Guidance. Ironwood continues to
expect:
2024 Guidance
(November 7, 2024)
U.S. LINZESS Net Sales
$900 - $950 million
Total Revenue
$350 - $375 million
Adjusted EBITDA1
>$75 million
1 Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by subtracting restructuring
expenses, net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, and acquisition-related costs from GAAP net income.
For purposes of the 2024 guidance, Ironwood has assumed it will not
incur material expenses related to business development activities
in 2024. Ironwood does not provide guidance on GAAP net income or a
reconciliation of expected adjusted EBITDA to expected GAAP net
income because, without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to
predict with reasonable certainty the non-GAAP adjustments used to
calculate adjusted EBITDA. These adjustments are uncertain, depend
on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP net
income for the guidance period. Management believes this non-GAAP
information is useful for investors, taken in conjunction with
Ironwood’s GAAP financial statements, because it provides greater
transparency and period-over-period comparability with respect to
Ironwood’s operating performance. These measures are also used by
management to assess the performance of the business. Investors
should consider these non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to,
not as a substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these
non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with
non-GAAP information provided by other companies.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Ironwood presents non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net
income (loss) per share to exclude the impact, net of tax effects,
of net gains and losses on derivatives related to Ironwood’s 2022
Convertible Notes that are required to be marked-to-market,
amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring expenses,
and acquisition-related costs. Non-GAAP adjustments are further
detailed below:
- The gains and losses on the derivatives related to Ironwood’s
2022 Convertible Notes were highly variable, difficult to predict
and of a size that could have a substantial impact on the company’s
reported results of operations in any given period.
- Amortization of acquired intangible assets are non-cash
expenses arising in connection with the acquisition of VectivBio
and are considered to be non-recurring.
- Restructuring expenses are considered to be a non-recurring
event as they are associated with distinct operational decisions.
Restructuring expenses include costs associated with exit and
disposal activities.
- Acquisition-related costs in connection with the acquisition of
VectivBio are considered to be non-recurring and include direct and
incremental costs associated with the acquisition and integration
of VectivBio to the extent such costs were not classified as
capitalizable transaction costs attributed to the cost of net
assets acquired through acquisition accounting.
Ironwood also presents adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, as
well as guidance on adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated
by subtracting mark-to-market adjustments on derivatives related to
Ironwood’s 2022 Convertible Notes, restructuring expenses, net
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and
acquisition-related costs from GAAP net income. The adjustments are
made on a similar basis as described above related to non-GAAP net
income (loss), as applicable.
Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for
investors, taken in conjunction with Ironwood’s GAAP financial
statements, because it provides greater transparency and
period-over-period comparability with respect to Ironwood’s
operating performance. These measures are also used by management
to assess the performance of the business. Investors should
consider these non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a
substitute for or as superior to, measures of financial performance
prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP
financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP
information provided by other companies. For a reconciliation of
non-GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income (loss) per share
to GAAP net income and GAAP net income per share, respectively, and
for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income, please
refer to the tables at the end of this press release.
Ironwood does not provide guidance on GAAP net income or a
reconciliation of expected adjusted EBITDA to expected GAAP net
income because, without unreasonable efforts, it is unable to
predict with reasonable certainty the non-GAAP adjustments used to
calculate adjusted EBITDA. These adjustments are uncertain, depend
on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP net
income for the guidance period.

About Ironwood Pharmaceuticals
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: IRWD), an S&P SmallCap
600® company, is a leading gastrointestinal (GI) healthcare company
on a mission to advance the treatment of GI diseases and redefine
the standard of care for GI patients. We are pioneers in the
development of LINZESS® (linaclotide), the U.S. branded
prescription market leader for adults with irritable bowel syndrome
with constipation (IBS-C) or chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC).
LINZESS is also approved for the treatment of functional
constipation in pediatric patients ages 6-17 years-old. Ironwood is
also advancing apraglutide, a next-generation, long-acting
synthetic GLP-2 analog being developed for rare gastrointestinal
diseases, including short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure
(SBS-IF) as well as several earlier stage assets. Building upon our
history of GI innovation, we keep patients at the heart of our
R&D and commercialization efforts to reduce the burden of GI
diseases and address significant unmet needs.
Founded in 1998, Ironwood Pharmaceuticals is headquartered in
Boston, Massachusetts, with a site in Basel, Switzerland.
We routinely post information that may be important to investors
on our website at www.ironwoodpharma.com. In addition, follow us on
X and on LinkedIn.
About LINZESS (Linaclotide)
LINZESS® is the #1 prescribed brand in the U.S. for the
treatment of adult patients with irritable bowel syndrome with
constipation (“IBS-C”) or chronic idiopathic constipation (“CIC”),
based on IQVIA data. LINZESS is a once-daily capsule that helps
relieve the abdominal pain, constipation, and overall abdominal
symptoms of bloating, discomfort and pain associated with IBS-C, as
well as the constipation, infrequent stools, hard stools,
straining, and incomplete evacuation associated with CIC. LINZESS
relieves constipation in children and adolescents aged 6 to 17
years with functional constipation. The recommended dose is 290 mcg
for IBS-C patients and 145 mcg for CIC patients, with a 72 mcg dose
approved for use in CIC depending on individual patient
presentation or tolerability. In children with functional
constipation aged 6 to 17 years, the recommended dose is 72
mcg.
LINZESS is not a laxative; it is the first medicine approved by
the FDA in a class called GC-C agonists. LINZESS contains a peptide
called linaclotide that activates the GC-C receptor in the
intestine. Activation of GC-C is thought to result in increased
intestinal fluid secretion and accelerated transit and a decrease
in the activity of pain-sensing nerves in the intestine. The
clinical relevance of the effect on pain fibers, which is based on
nonclinical studies, has not been established.
In the United States, Ironwood and AbbVie co-develop and
co-commercialize LINZESS for the treatment of adults with IBS-C or
CIC. In Europe, AbbVie markets linaclotide under the brand name
CONSTELLA® for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe
IBS-C. In Japan, Ironwood's partner, Astellas, markets linaclotide
under the brand name LINZESS for the treatment of adults with IBS-C
or CIC. Ironwood also has partnered with AstraZeneca for
development and commercialization of LINZESS in China, and with
AbbVie for development and commercialization of linaclotide in all
other territories worldwide.
LINZESS Important Safety Information
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
LINZESS® (linaclotide) is indicated for the treatment of both
irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic
idiopathic constipation (CIC) in adults and functional constipation
(FC) in children and adolescents 6 to 17 years of age. It is not
known if LINZESS is safe and effective in children with FC less
than 6 years of age or in children with IBS-C less than 18 years of
age.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS DEHYDRATION IN
PEDIATRIC PATIENTS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OF AGE
LINZESS is contraindicated in patients
less than 2 years of age. In nonclinical studies in neonatal mice,
administration of a single, clinically relevant adult oral dose of
linaclotide caused deaths due to dehydration.
Contraindications
- LINZESS is contraindicated in patients less than 2 years of age
due to the risk of serious dehydration.
- LINZESS is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected
mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction.
Warnings and Precautions
- LINZESS is contraindicated in patients less than 2 years of
age. In neonatal mice, linaclotide increased fluid secretion as a
consequence of age-dependent elevated guanylate cyclase (GC-C)
agonism, which was associated with increased mortality within the
first 24 hours due to dehydration. There was no age dependent trend
in GC-C intestinal expression in a clinical study of children 2 to
less than 18 years of age; however, there are insufficient data
available on GC-C intestinal expression in children less than 2
years of age to assess the risk of developing diarrhea and its
potentially serious consequences in these patients.
Diarrhea
- In adults, diarrhea was the most common adverse reaction in
LINZESS-treated patients in the pooled IBS-C and CIC double-blind
placebo-controlled trials. The incidence of diarrhea was similar in
the IBS-C and CIC populations. Severe diarrhea was reported in 2%
of 145 mcg and 290 mcg LINZESS-treated patients and in <1% of 72
mcg LINZESS-treated CIC patients.
- In children and adolescents 6 to 17 years of age, diarrhea was
the most common adverse reaction in 72 mcg LINZESS-treated patients
in the FC double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Severe diarrhea
was reported in <1% of 72 mcg LINZESS treated patients. If
severe diarrhea occurs, dosing should be suspended and the patient
rehydrated.
Common Adverse Reactions (incidence ≥2% and greater than
placebo)
- In IBS-C or CIC adult patients: diarrhea, abdominal pain,
flatulence, and abdominal distension.
- In FC pediatric patients: diarrhea.

this press release for net profit for the U.S. LINZESS brand

costs incurred by AbbVie and Ironwood that are attributable to the
