Recent Developments
CEO Succession Plan
John McLaughlin announced his intention to retire as CEO at year-end 2018, while continuing to serve on the PDL board. Dominique Monnet, PDL’s current President, will succeed Mr. McLaughlin as CEO effective December 31, 2018 and will simultaneously join the PDL board.

Mr. Monnet joined PDL BioPharma as President in September 2017, bringing more than 30 years of leadership experience in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. He was instrumental in overseeing global commercialization operations, including successful new product launches, while serving in senior management positions at Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Amgen and Schering-Plough.

Stock Repurchase Programs
In early July, PDL completed the $25.0 million share repurchase program by repurchasing approximately 0.6 million shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $2.44 per share for a total of $1.4 million. The total amounts repurchased by the Company under the $25.0 million share repurchase program equal approximately 8.7 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $2.86 per share, including trading commissions. Since initiating its first stock repurchase program in March 2017, the Company has used $55.0 million to repurchase a total of 22.1 million shares of its common stock.

On September 21, 2018, the PDL’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value of up to $100.0 million pursuant to a new share repurchase program. The Company expects to aggressively repurchase shares after its Q3 earnings blackout has been lifted.

Depomed Royalty Rights
In August 2018, PDL amended the Royalty Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with Depomed, under which the Company acquired all of Depomed’s remaining rights to royalties and milestones payable on sales of type 2 diabetes products licensed by Depomed for $20.0 million. Under the original Royalty Agreement, PDL would have shared future royalties equally with Depomed after total cash received by PDL reached $481.0 million, or two times the Company’s original investment.

Noden Pharma
Noden US is commercializing Tekturna® and Tekturna HCT® in the United States and Noden Pharma DAC, an Ireland based company, assumed commercialization responsibilities for Rasilez® and Rasilez HCT® in the rest of the world, starting in November of 2017. The products are indicated for the treatment of hypertension.
Noden and PDL are evaluating additional pharma products to acquire for Noden.
Noden net revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $17.8 million, with $9.7 million in US revenue and $8.1 million in the rest of world, compared to $15.1 million for the same period in 2017.
Noden product revenues increased 18 percent and accounted for approximately 26 percent of total revenues compared to approximately 24 percent in the third quarter of 2017.
Gross margins on revenue in the third quarter were 56 percent, 83 percent in the U.S. on Tekturna and Tekturna HCT and 24 percent ex-U.S. on Rasilez and Rasilez HCT.
In June 2018, Noden Pharma DAC entered into a settlement agreement with Anchen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its affiliates to resolve the patent litigation relating to Anchen’s Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) seeking approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to market a generic version of aliskiren.  Under the settlement agreement, Anchen agreed to not commercialize its generic version of aliskiren prior to March 1, 2019, but is not permitted to commercialize a copy of Tekturna. Anchen is the sole ANDA filer for aliskiren of which the Company is aware.
Due to the increased probability of a generic version of aliskiren being launched in the United States in 2019. Noden determined that long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $192.5 million were impaired and wrote them down to their estimated fair value of $40.1 million, resulting in a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $152.3 million in the second quarter of 2018. This write-down is included in “Impairment of intangible asset” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
As of September 30, 2018, the remaining balance of Noden Products intangible assets is $38.9 million and is being amortized straight-line over the remaining life of 8 years.
Offsetting the impairment was a $22.5 million decrease in fair value of the contingent liability related to the reduced estimate in the probability in paying milestones to Novartis for Tekturna.
There is no update on Anchen’s progress in developing a generic Tekturna but, there has yet to be an FDA approval of a generic version of the drug and there have been no announcements on commercialization plans or dates.

LENSAR
LENSAR Laser System revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $6.6 million compared to $5.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.
Gross margins on LENSAR revenue in the third quarter were 38 percent.


Updates on Income Generating Assets

Royalty Rights Assets

On August 2, 2018, PDL Investment Holding, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PDL, purchased all of Depomed’s remaining interests in royalty and milestone payments payable on sales of Type 2 diabetes products licensed by Depomed for $20.0 million. Prior to the amendment, the Depomed Royalty Agreement provided that we would have received all royalty and milestone payments due under license agreements between Depomed and its licensees until we received payments equal to two times the cash payment made to Depomed, or approximately $481.0 million, after which all net payments received by Depomed would have been shared equally between us and Depomed. Following the amendment, the Depomed Royalty Agreement provides that we will receive all royalty and milestone payments due under the license agreements between Depomed and its licensees.

Updates on Royalty Rights Assets

Low to mid-single digit royalties to PDL on new product approvals expected to continue to 2023 for Invokamet XR® US, 2026 for Jentadueto XR® and Synjardy XR®, and 2027 for Invokamet XR® ex-US.

Updates on royalty-bearing products relating to Queen et al. Patents

Tysabri® (Approved royalty-bearing product relating to Queen et al. patents)
The Queen et al. patents have expired and the resulting royalty revenue has dropped substantially since the first quarter of 2016. We continue to receive royalty revenue from one product under the Queen et al. patent licenses, Tysabri, as a result of sales of the product that was manufactured prior to patent expiry.
PDL recorded revenue of $0.5 million from Tysabri in Q3 2018.
Royalties from PDL’s licensees to the Queen et al. patents were $0.9 million lower than in the third quarter of 2017 as product supply of Tysabri manufactured prior to patent expiry in the United States have been extinguished and ex-U.S. product supplies are rapidly being exhausted. As a result, we expect royalties from product sales of Tysabri to cease in the fourth quarter of 2018.
