Furthermore, a number of positive clinical and regulatory milestones strengthened the outlook for our diversified royalty portfolio. Based on the strong fundamental tailwinds underpinning our business, our strong balance sheet and robust deal pipeline, I am confident we are in an excellent position to fund life sciences innovation and deliver attractive, long-term compounding growth.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Portfolio Receipts

As previously announced (January 8, 2024 press release), Portfolio Receipts is now being reported as a key performance metric. The calculation of Portfolio Receipts will result in the same amount as Royalty Pharma’s previous presentation of Adjusted Cash Receipts (which will no longer be reported).

This change of presentation will facilitate increased transparency into the economics of individual royalties as royalty receipts by product and franchise will now be reported net of legacy non-controlling interests. In addition, Royalty receipts and Milestones and other contractual receipts will be reported as two separate subtotals summing to Portfolio Receipts. This change will provide greater clarity on the underlying trends of Royalty Pharma’s royalty portfolio versus other contractual payments which may be more variable over time. Prior-period results using this updated presentation are available for download on the Quarterly Results page of the company’s website under Supplemental Financial Information (link here).

Results for full year 2023 and 2022 are shown in Table 4. Amounts shown in the table may not add due to rounding.

Portfolio Receipts was $736 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, a decrease of 31% compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in the fourth quarter was attributable to the accelerated redemption of all outstanding Series A and Series B Biohaven Preferred Shares following Pfizer’s acquisition of Biohaven in October 2022, which is reflected within milestones and other contractual receipts. Royalty receipts increased 10%, primarily driven by growth in the cystic fibrosis franchise, Trelegy and Evrysdi, and the addition of new royalties on Spinraza. These positive factors were partially offset by declining royalty receipts on Imbruvica, Tysabri and other products.

*Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are calculated in accordance with the credit agreement.

Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are supplemental non-GAAP liquidity measures that are key components of certain material covenants contained in Royalty Pharma’s credit agreement.

  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $682 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated in accordance with the credit agreement as Portfolio Receipts minus payments for operating and professional costs. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA results in the same total as under Royalty Pharma’s previous presentation of Adjusted EBITDA.
  • Portfolio Cash Flow (non-GAAP) was $687 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Portfolio Cash Flow is calculated in accordance with the credit agreement as Adjusted EBITDA minus interest paid or received, net. This non-GAAP measure was added to our disclosure to align with a material covenant contained in Royalty Pharma’s credit agreement. This measure reflects the cash generated by Royalty Pharma’s business that can be redeployed into value-enhancing royalty acquisitions, used to repay debt, returned to shareholders through dividends or share purchases or utilized for other discretionary investments. The calculation of Portfolio Cash Flow does not include development-stage funding payments - upfront and milestone. This is the primary material difference from Royalty Pharma’s previous presentation of Adjusted Cash Flow (which will no longer be reported).

Royalty Pharma has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net cash provided by operating activities in Table 5.

Royalty Pharma announced new transactions of up to $4.0 billion in 2023, which includes upfront payments and potential future milestones. Royalty Pharma is now providing an aggregate amount for total Capital Deployment, which reflects cash payments during the period for new and previously announced transactions. Capital Deployment was $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter and $2.2 billion in 2023. See the detail of Capital Deployment by category below.

Recent Transactions

During the fourth quarter of 2023, Royalty Pharma announced new transactions of up to $1.6 billion. Announced transactions amount reflects the entire amount of capital committed for new transactions during the year, including potential future milestones.

2024 Financial Outlook

Royalty Pharma has provided guidance for full year 2024, excluding transactions and borrowings announced after the date of this release, as follows:

 Provided February 15, 2024
Portfolio Receipts$2,600 million to $2,700 million
Payments for operating and professional costs8% to 9% of Portfolio Receipts
Interest Paid$160 million


The above Portfolio Receipts guidance includes expected royalty receipts growth of 5% to 9% in 2024.

Royalty Pharma’s full-year 2024 guidance reflects a negligible estimated foreign exchange impact to Portfolio Receipts, assuming current foreign exchange rates prevail for 2024.

Total interest paid is based on the semi-annual interest payment schedule of Royalty Pharma’s existing notes and is anticipated to be approximately $160 million in 2024. Interest paid is anticipated to be approximately $79 million in each of the first and third quarters of 2024 with de minimis amounts being recorded in the second and fourth quarters of 2024. The projection assumes no additional debt financing in 2024, including no drawdown on the revolving credit facility. In 2023, Royalty Pharma also collected interest of $72 million on its cash and cash equivalents, which partially offsets interest paid.

Royalty Pharma today provides this guidance based on its most up-to-date view on its prospects. This guidance assumes no major unforeseen adverse events and excludes the contributions from transactions announced subsequent to the date of this press release. Furthermore, Royalty Pharma may amend its guidance in the event it engages in new royalty transactions which have a material near-term financial impact on the company.

Portfolio Receipts

Portfolio Receipts is a key performance metric that represents our ability to generate cash from our portfolio investments, the primary source of capital that we can deploy to make new portfolio investments. Portfolio Receipts is defined as the sum of royalty receipts and milestones and other contractual receipts. Royalty receipts include variable payments based on sales of products, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that is attributed to Royalty Pharma.

Milestones and other contractual receipts include sales-based or regulatory milestone payments and other fixed contractual receipts, net of contractual payments to legacy non-controlling interests, that is attributed to Royalty Pharma. Portfolio Receipts does not include proceeds from equity securities or proceeds from purchases and sales of marketable securities, neither of which are central to our fundamental business strategy.

Portfolio Receipts is calculated as the sum of the following line items from our GAAP consolidated statements of cash flows: Cash collections from financial royalty assets, Cash collections from intangible royalty assets, Other royalty cash collections, Proceeds from available for sale debt securities and Distributions from equity method investees less Distributions to legacy non-controlling interests - Portfolio Receipts, which represent contractual distributions of royalty receipts, milestones and other contractual receipts to the Legacy Investors Partnerships and RPSFT.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are non-GAAP liquidity measures that exclude the impact of certain items and therefore have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are important non-GAAP measures used to analyze liquidity because they are key components of certain material covenants contained within Royalty Pharma’s credit agreement. Royalty Pharma cautions readers that amounts presented in accordance with the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies or analysts. These non-GAAP liquidity measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Royalty Pharma’s results as reported under GAAP.

The definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow used by Royalty Pharma are the same as the definitions in the credit agreement. Noncompliance with the interest coverage ratio, leverage ratio and Portfolio Cash Flow ratio covenants under the credit agreement could result in lenders requiring the company to immediately repay all amounts borrowed. If Royalty Pharma cannot satisfy these covenants, it would be prohibited under the credit agreement from engaging in certain activities, such as incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends, making certain payments, and acquiring and disposing of assets. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are critical to the assessment of Royalty Pharma’s liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow are used by management as key liquidity measures in the evaluation of the company’s ability to generate cash from operations. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Portfolio Cash Flow when considering available cash, including for decision-making purposes related to funding of acquisitions, debt repayments, dividends and other discretionary investments. Further, these non-GAAP liquidity measures help management, the audit committee and investors evaluate the company’s ability to generate liquidity from operating activities.

The company has provided reconciliations of these non-GAAP liquidity measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, being net cash provided by operating activities in Table 5.

Notes

(1) Portfolio Receipts is a key performance metric that represents our ability to generate cash from our portfolio investments, the primary source of capital that we can deploy to make new portfolio investments. Portfolio Receipts is defined as the sum of royalty receipts and milestones and other contractual receipts. Royalty receipts include variable payments based on sales of products, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that is attributed to Royalty Pharma. Milestones and other contractual receipts include sales-based or regulatory milestone payments and other fixed contractual receipts, net of contractual payments to the legacy non-controlling interests, that is attributed to Royalty Pharma. Portfolio Receipts does not include proceeds from equity securities or marketable securities, both of which are not central to our fundamental business strategy.

Portfolio Receipts is calculated as the sum of the following line items from our GAAP consolidated statements of cash flows: Cash collections from financial royalty assets, Cash collections from intangible royalty assets, Other royalty cash collections, Proceeds from available for sale debt securities and Distributions from equity method investees less Distributions to legacy non-controlling interests - Portfolio Receipts, which represent contractual distributions of royalty receipts and milestones and other contractual receipts to the Legacy Investors Partnerships and RPSFT.

Operating and professional costs reflect Payments for operating and professional costs from the statements of cash flows. See GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation in Table 5.
