US GAAP revenue of CHF 30 million in the first nine months of 2021 consisted of contract revenue recognized in connection with the collaboration agreements with Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (CHF 3 million), Janssen Biotech, Inc. (CHF 8 million), Roche (CHF 4 million), Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd (CHF 4 million), settlement of exchangeable note with Santhera (CHF 12 million) and revenue share from J&J (CHF 0.4 million), compared to a revenue of CHF 66 million in the first nine months of 2020.
US GAAP operating expenses in the first nine months of 2021 amounted to CHF 415 million (CHF 354 million in the first nine months of 2020), of which CHF 288 million relates to R&D (CHF 290 million in the first nine months of 2020) and CHF 127 million to SG&A expenses (CHF 64 million in the first nine months of 2020).
US GAAP net loss in the first nine months of 2021 amounted to CHF 383 million compared to CHF 308 million in the first nine months of 2020. The increase of the net loss was mainly driven by lower contract revenues as well as higher operating expenses, mainly in the commercial functions, which was partially offset by a positive contribution from financial income.
The US GAAP net loss resulted in a net loss per share of CHF 2.29 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2021 compared to a net loss per share of CHF 2.25 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2020.

* 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 nine months of 2021 amounted to CHF 347 million: the CHF 36 million difference versus US GAAP net loss was mainly due to depreciation and amortization (CHF 13 million), share-based compensation (CHF 13 million) and a negative non-cash financial result (CHF 10 million).
The non-GAAP net loss resulted in a net loss per share of CHF 2.08 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2021 compared to a net loss per share of CHF 1.79 (basic and diluted) in the first nine months of 2020.
