(“Jazz”) – – Acquisition by Alkermes plc (“Alkermes”) expected to close in first quarter 2026 – DUBLIN, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Avadel Pharmaceuticals plc (Nasdaq: AVDL), a biopharmaceutical company focused on transforming medicines to transform lives, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update. Pending Acquisition by Alkermes: On October 22, 2025, Avadel entered into a definitive agreement under which Alkermes will acquire Avadel for total transaction consideration of up to $20.00 per share in cash, which values Avadel at approximately $2.1 billion. The transaction consideration is comprised of $18.50 per share in cash, payable at closing, together with a nontransferable contingent value right (CVR) entitling holders to a potential additional cash payment of $1.50 per share, contingent upon the ability for LUMRYZ to be commercially sold in the United States for the treatment of idiopathic hypersomnia (“IH”) in adults by the end of 2028. Completion of the transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including approval by Avadel shareholders, certain regulatory approvals and the approval of the Irish High Court. Subject to the satisfaction of these conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026. Further details regarding the transaction with Alkermes can be found in the announcement issued jointly by Avadel and Alkermes pursuant to Rule 2.7 of the Irish Takeover Rules, as filed with the Company’s current report on Form 8-K that was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 22, 2025. Third Quarter Highlights: Generated $77.5 million of net product revenue from sales of LUMRYZ, representing 55% growth over the third quarter 2024. Sustained year-over-year patient uptake and growth with approximately 3,400 patients being treated with LUMRYZ as of September 30, 2025, compared to approximately 2,300 patients as of September 30, 2024. Corporate and Pipeline Updates: Corporate Strengthened sleep medicine portfolio with exclusive license to develop and commercialize valiloxybate, a GABA B receptor agonist, from XWPharma for all indications, including the treatment of sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy and IH. XWPharma received an upfront payment of $15 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and will receive an additional upfront payment of $5 million from Avadel in the fourth quarter of 2025. XWPharma is eligible to receive development and sales milestone payments in addition to royalties on future net sales. On track to progress valiloxybate into an initial pharmacokinetic (PK) and comparative bioavailability study. Story Continues LUMRYZ for IH Patient enrollment in REVITALYZ™ is on track to be completed by the end of 2025. REVITALYZ is a Phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized withdrawal, multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LUMRYZ in IH. LUMRYZ for Narcolepsy Presented new REFRESH™ real-world study data supporting LUMRYZ’s use for the treatment of narcolepsy across all three patient segments (i.e., switch patients, naïve to oxybate patients, and return to oxybate patients) at World Sleep 2025. Results showed that participants experienced clinically meaningful improvements in Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores, a measure of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), to within the normal range. Global Settlement with Jazz On October 21, 2025, Avadel entered into a global settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with Jazz. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Avadel and Jazz have dismissed their respective lawsuits with prejudice. Furthermore, Jazz agreed to provide Avadel with upfront cash consideration as well as grant Avadel the ability to commercialize LUMRYZ for indications beyond narcolepsy as soon as March 1, 2028, while Jazz received rights to royalties on net sales of LUMRYZ from October 1, 2025, through February 18, 2036. Details regarding the full terms of the Settlement Agreement can be found in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K that was filed with the SEC on October 22, 2025, and the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Overview of Third Quarter Financial Results Avadel recognized $77.5 million in net product revenue from sales of LUMRYZ for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, a 55% increase compared to $50.0 million for the same period in 2024. Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $81.6 million, or 105% of net product revenue, compared to $43.9 million, or 88% of net product revenue, for the same period in 2024. Gross profit in the current quarter includes a reversal of $9.5 million within cost of products sold for royalties that had accrued through June 30, 2025 which were waived by Jazz in conjunction with the Settlement Agreement.   Gross profit for the same period in the prior year includes $3.6 million within cost of products sold for estimated royalties. Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were $27.0 million compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2024. The current quarter includes the above-referenced $20.0 million upfront license fees to XWPharma of which $15.0 million was paid in the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The remaining $5.0 million will be paid in the quarter ending December 31, 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were $52.6 million compared to $40.4 million for the same period in 2024. The increase versus the prior year was primarily driven by higher commercial costs related to the ongoing launch of LUMRYZ. Total GAAP operating expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2025 were $79.6 million compared to $44.2 million for the same period in 2024. The increase period over period includes the previously mentioned $20.0 million upfront license fee to XWPharma. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was $20 thousand, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $2.6 million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, for the same period in 2024. The company generated positive cash flow in the third quarter. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $91.6 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $81.5 million at June 30, 2025. About LUMRYZ™ (sodium oxybate) for extended-release oral suspension LUMRYZ is an extended-release sodium oxybate medication approved by the FDA on May 1, 2023, as the first and only once-at-bedtime treatment for cataplexy or excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in adults with narcolepsy. On October 16, 2024, LUMRYZ was additionally approved as a once-at-bedtime treatment for cataplexy or EDS in pediatric patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy. The FDA approval of LUMRYZ was supported by results from REST-ON™, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal Phase 3 trial in adults with narcolepsy. LUMRYZ demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in the three co-primary endpoints: EDS (MWT), clinicians’ overall assessment of patients’ functioning (CGI-I), and cataplexy attacks, for all three evaluated doses when compared to placebo. With its approvals in May 2023 and October 2024, the FDA also granted seven years of Orphan Drug Exclusivity to LUMRYZ for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in adults with narcolepsy and in pediatric patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy respectively due to a finding of clinical superiority of LUMRYZ relative to currently available oxybate treatments. In particular, the FDA found that LUMRYZ makes a major contribution to patient care over currently available, twice-nightly oxybate products by providing a once-nightly dosing regimen that avoids nocturnal arousal to take a second dose. LUMRYZ is only currently approved for the treatment of cataplexy or EDS in patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy, and Avadel does not market, promote or offer patient support services for use of LUMRYZ in any indication beyond narcolepsy. INDICATIONS LUMRYZ (sodium oxybate) for extended-release oral suspension is a prescription medicine used to treat the following symptoms in patients seven years of age and older with narcolepsy: sudden onset of weak or paralyzed muscles (cataplexy) excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: Taking LUMRYZ™ (sodium oxybate) with other central nervous system (CNS) depressants, such as medicines used to make you fall asleep, including opioid analgesics, benzodiazepines, sedating antidepressants, antipsychotics, sedating anti-epileptic medicines, general anesthetics, muscle relaxants, alcohol or street drugs, may cause serious medical problems, including trouble breathing (respiratory depression), low blood pressure (hypotension), changes in alertness (drowsiness), fainting (syncope) and death. The active ingredient of LUMRYZ (sodium oxybate) is a form of gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a controlled substance. Abuse or misuse of illegal GHB alone or with other CNS depressants (drugs that cause changes in alertness or consciousness) have caused serious side effects. These effects include seizures, trouble breathing (respiratory depression), changes in alertness (drowsiness), coma and death. Call your doctor right away if you have any of these serious side effects. Because of these risks, LUMRYZ is available only by prescription and filled through certified pharmacies in the LUMRYZ REMS. You must be enrolled in the LUMRYZ REMS to receive LUMRYZ. Further information is available at www.LUMRYZREMS.com or by calling 1-877-453-1029. Do not take LUMRYZ if you take or your child takes other sleep medicines or sedatives (medicines that cause sleepiness), drink alcohol or have a rare problem called succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency. Keep LUMRYZ in a safe place to prevent abuse and misuse. Selling or giving away LUMRYZ may harm others and is against the law. Tell your doctor if you or your child have ever abused or been dependent on alcohol, prescription medicines or street drugs. Anyone who takes LUMRYZ should not do anything that requires them to be fully awake or is dangerous, including driving a car, using heavy machinery or flying an airplane, for at least six (6) hours after taking LUMRYZ. Those activities should not be done until you know how LUMRYZ affects you. Falling asleep quickly, including while standing or while getting up from the bed, has led to falls with injuries that have required some people to be hospitalized. LUMRYZ can cause serious side effects, including the following: Breathing problems, including slower breathing, trouble breathing and/or short periods of not breathing while sleeping (e.g., sleep apnea). People who already have breathing or lung problems have a higher chance of having breathing problems when they take LUMRYZ. Mental health problems , including confusion, seeing or hearing things that are not real (hallucinations), unusual or disturbing thoughts (abnormal thinking), feeling anxious or upset, depression, thoughts of killing yourself or trying to kill yourself, increased tiredness, feelings of guilt or worthlessness and difficulty concentrating. Tell your doctor if you or your child have or had depression or have tried to harm yourself. Call your doctor right away if you or your child have symptoms of mental health problems or a change in weight or appetite. Sleepwalking. Sleepwalking can cause injuries. Call your doctor if you or your child start sleepwalking. Tell your doctor if you or your child are on a salt-restricted diet or have high blood pressure, heart failure or kidney problems. LUMRYZ contains a lot of sodium (salt) and may not be right for you. The most common side effects of LUMRYZ in adults include nausea, dizziness, bedwetting, headache and vomiting. Your side effects may increase when you take higher doses of LUMRYZ. The most common side effects in children include nausea, bedwetting, vomiting, headache, decreased weight, decreased appetite, dizziness, and sleepwalking. LUMRYZ can cause physical dependence and craving for the medicine when it is not taken as directed. These are not all the possible side effects of LUMRYZ. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA.
