Global Nexavar Sales Increase 24% Over 2008
Company Achieves Second Year of Profitability and Non-GAAP Net Income of $54.4 Million in 2009
EMERYVILLE, CA February 23, 2010 Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ONXX) today reported its
financial results for the full year and fourth quarter 2009. Global Nexavar net sales as recorded
by Onyxs collaborator, Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Bayer, were $843.5 million for
the full year 2009 and $235.2 million for the fourth quarter 2009 compared to $677.8 million and
$176.5 million for the same periods in 2008. Onyx and Bayer are marketing and developing Nexavar ®
(sorafenib) tablets, an anticancer therapy currently approved for the treatment of liver cancer and
advanced kidney cancer in the U.S., European Union, Japan and other territories.
2009 was a transformational year for Onyx as we continued to grow Nexavar sales, increased cash
flow from operations, augmented our cash reserves, delivered promising clinical data in breast
cancer, and created a broad and balanced portfolio of compelling compounds, said N. Anthony Coles,
M.D., president and chief executive officer of Onyx. As a result, Onyx has successfully
established its position as an emerging oncology leader. With a 24% increase in annual Nexavar
sales and growing commercial margins, it is this outstanding performance that has enabled us to
invest in our future with an expanding number of pipeline products to improve the lives of patients
and create additional value for shareholders.
Onyx reported GAAP net income of $16.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the full year 2009
compared with net income of $1.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008.
For the fourth quarter 2009 Onyx reported a GAAP net loss of $5.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted
share, compared to a net loss of $30.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, in the same period in
2008. Onyx reported non-GAAP net income of $54.4 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the full
year 2009 compared to non-GAAP net income of $54.8 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the
same period in 2008. For the fourth quarter 2009, Onyx reported non-GAAP net income of $8.8
million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $8.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the
same period in 2008. Non-GAAP net income excludes, among other things, employee stock-based compensation
expense, transaction costs related to Onyxs acquisition of Proteolix, Inc. in November 2009 and
upfront and milestone payments. For a complete description of the items excluded to arrive at
non-GAAP net income and a reconciliation to comparable GAAP measures, refer to the accompanying
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) provided below.
Revenue from Collaboration Agreement
For the full year and fourth quarter 2009, Onyx reported revenue from its Nexavar collaboration
agreement of $250.4 million and $67.3 million, respectively, compared to $194.3 million and $49.7
million for the same periods in 2008. The increase in revenue from collaboration agreement between
periods is due to an increase in Nexavar revenue recognized by Bayer and higher royalty revenue,
partially offset by an increase in commercial expenses related to Nexavar.

Operating Expenses
Onyx recorded research and development expenses of $128.5 million for the full year 2009 and $36.0
million for the fourth quarter 2009, compared to $123.7 million and $59.9 million for the same
periods in 2008. Research and development expenses for the full year 2009 increased compared to
2008 primarily due to increases in the development program for Nexavar across additional tumor
types, such as thyroid, breast, colorectal and adjuvant liver cancer; expenses related to the
development of carfilzomib following the acquisition of Proteolix; and Onyxs costs to further
develop ONX 0801, including a milestone payment of $7.0 million to BTG International Limited (BTG).
In 2008, research and development expenses included payments totaling
$33.8 million made to S*BIO
Pte Ltd (S*BIO) under a development collaboration, option and license agreement and to BTG under a
development and license agreement.
Onyx recorded selling, general and administrative expenses of $101.1 million in the full year 2009
and $32.2 million in the fourth quarter 2009, compared to $81.0 million and $22.0 million for the
same periods in 2008. Higher selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to
headcount-related expenses to support Onyxs growth and to legal and acquisition-related costs.
Onyx recorded $1.5 million of non-cash expense in the fourth quarter of 2009 associated with the
increase in the fair value of the liability for contingent consideration related to the acquisition
of Proteolix.
Investment Income
For the
full year and fourth quarter 2009, investment income was $4.0 million and $0.9 million,
respectively, compared to $12.7 million and $2.0 million for the same periods in 2008. The decrease
was primarily due to lower effective interest rates as a result of market conditions, as well as a
change in the asset allocation of Onyxs investment portfolio.
Interest Expense
Onyx recorded interest expense of $6.9 million and $4.6 million for the full year and fourth
quarter 2009, related to the 4.0% convertible senior notes due 2016 issued in August 2009, which
includes non-cash imputed interest expense of $3.1 million and $2.1 million for the same periods.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
At December 31, 2009, cash, cash equivalents, and current and noncurrent marketable securities were
$587.3 million, compared to $458.0 million at December 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to
net proceeds of debt and equity financings in August 2009 and cash generated from operations,
offset by cash paid in connection with the Proteolix acquisition.

Onyx management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate our operating results and trends on an on-going basis and internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Onyx management believes the non-GAAP information is useful for investors by offering them the ability to better identify trends in our business and better understand how management evaluates the business. These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of income and expense that affect Onyx. These non-GAAP financial measures that management uses are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered in isolation of, or an as alternative to, measurements required by GAAP. | ||
These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items from GAAP net income (loss) and diluted net income (loss) per share: |
Employee stock-based compensation: The
effects of employee stock-based
compensation are excluded because of
varying available valuation
methodologies, subjective assumptions and
the variety of award types; such
exclusion facilitates comparisons of
Onyxs operating results to peer
companies.
Imputed interest related to the
convertible senior notes due 2016: The
effects of imputed interest related to
the convertible senior notes due 2016 are
excluded because this expense is
non-cash; such exclusion facilitates
comparisons of Onyxs cash operating
results to peer companies.
Upfront and milestone payments and
transaction costs: The effects of
milestone payments and transaction costs
are excluded as they do not relate to the
normal and recurring transactions of our
business; such exclusions allow for a
better representation of the ongoing
economics of the business, facilitates
comparison to peer companies and is
reflective of how Onyx manages the
business.
Contingent consideration expense: The
effects of contingent consideration
expense are excluded due to the nature of
this charge, which is related to the
change in fair value of the liability for
contingent consideration in connection
with the acquisition of Proteolix; such
exclusion facilitates comparisons of
Onyxs operating results to peer
companies.
(6) | Under the if-converted method, interest and issuance costs and potential common shares related to the Companys convertible senior notes were excluded in the computation of non-GAAP diluted per share amounts for the three months ended December 31, 2009 because their effect is anti-dilutive and included in the computation of non-GAAP diluted per share amounts for the year ended December 31, 2009 because their effect is dilutive. |
