US GAAP revenue of CHF 58 million in the first half of 2020 consisted of contract revenue recognized in connection with the collaboration agreements with Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (CHF 48 million), Janssen Biotech, Inc. (CHF 6 million), Roche (CHF 3 million) and Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (CHF 2 million), compared to a revenue of CHF 13 million in the first half of 2019.
US GAAP operating expenses in the first half of 2020 amounted to CHF 236 million (CHF 252 million in HY 2019), of which CHF 197 million relates to R&D (CHF 220 million in HY 2019), which includes a one-off expense of CHF 32 million as explained in the legal update below and CHF 40 million to SG&A expenses (CHF 33 million in HY 2019).
US GAAP net loss in the first half of 2020 amounted to CHF 189 million compared to CHF 232 million in the first half of 2019. The decrease of the net loss was mainly driven by higher contract revenues and lower operating expenses.

* Idorsia measures, reports and issues guidance on non-GAAP operating performance. Idorsia believes that these non-GAAP financial measurements more accurately reflect the underlying business performance and therefore provide useful supplementary information to investors. These non-GAAP measures are reported in addition to, not as a substitute for, US GAAP financial performance.
Non-GAAP net loss in the first half of 2020 amounted to CHF 138 million: the CHF 51 million difference versus US GAAP net loss was mainly due to depreciation and amortization (CHF 9 million), share-based compensation (CHF 13 million), an accrual in relation to the arbitration (CHF 24 million) and a negative non-cash financial result (CHF 6 million).
The non-GAAP net loss resulted in a net loss per share of CHF 1.03 (basic and diluted) in the first half of 2020 compared to a net loss per share of CHF 1.69 (basic and diluted) in the first half of 2019.
