"In 2022, we project we achieved record revenue of greater than $655 million and we completed the acquisition of Antares Pharma, opening up an expanded set of opportunities for our subcutaneous drug delivery business," said Dr. Helen Torley, president and chief executive officer. "In 2023, we project record revenue of $815 to $845M and greater than 30% growth in EBITDA to $415 to $440 million. As our ENHANZE pipeline advances, we are excited about the future royalty revenue opportunities represented in 2023 by the potential for two new commercial launches, SC efgartigimod and SC atezolizumab."

Anticipated 2023 Key Events:

Projected growth of >20% in the Company’s high-margin, recurring revenue stream from royalties to approximately $445 to $455 million driven by continued strength in Wave 2 products, including DARZALEX SC (daratumumab) and Phesgo (pertuzumab, trastuzumab and hyaluronidase) utilizing ENHANZE technology, as well as full year auto-injector royalty contribution.

Two ENHANZE subcutaneous (SC) approvals and commercial launches by collaboration partners, including SC efgartigimod and SC atezolizumab.

Four Phase 3 study data readouts from products utilizing ENHANZE by the Company’s collaboration partners
