MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corcept Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ: CORT), a commercial-stage company engaged in the discovery and development of drugs to treat severe metabolic, oncologic and psychiatric disorders by modulating the effects of the hormone cortisol, today reported its results for the quarter- and year-ended December 31, 2020.
Corcept’s 2020 revenue was $353.9 million, compared to $306.5 million in 2019. Fourth quarter revenue was $85.7 million, compared to $87.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The company reiterated its 2021 revenue guidance of $375 – 405 million.
GAAP net income was $106.0 million for the year and $26.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $94.2 million for the year and $29.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Excluding non-cash expenses related to stock-based compensation and the utilization of deferred tax assets, together with related income tax effects, non-GAAP net income was $34.7 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $40.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. For the full-year, non-GAAP net income was $145.6 million, compared to $133.3 million in 2019. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP net income is included below.
Cash and investments increased by $32.7 million in the fourth quarter, to $476.9 million at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the balance of cash and investments was 315.3 million.
The company spent $9.7 million in the fourth quarter repurchasing 458,769 shares of common stock pursuant to its stock repurchase program. Under the currently authorized terms of that program, $190.3 million remains available for the repurchase of shares.
“Corcept’s financial and clinical accomplishments in 2020 lay the foundation for significant progress this year,” said Joseph K. Belanoff, MD, Corcept’s Chief Executive Officer. “As the COVID-19 pandemic is brought under control, the easing of public health restrictions and greater willingness of patients to visit their doctors will allow more physicians to diagnose and optimally treat patients with Cushing’s syndrome. We expect revenue next year of $375 – 405 million.
“Improving conditions should also permit more rapid progress in our clinical development programs, many of which have been significantly slowed by the pandemic,” he added. We are currently evaluating our proprietary, selective cortisol modulators as potential treatments for patients with metastatic ovarian and pancreatic cancer, castration-resistant prostate cancer, adrenal cancer, Cushing’s syndrome, antipsychotic-induced weight gain and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. We will have topline data from our ovarian and pancreatic cancer trials in the second quarter. In the fourth quarter, we plan to initiate a Phase 2 trial in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).”

GAAP Measures of Net Income
To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use non-GAAP measures of net income, basic net income per share and diluted net income per share that exclude the following non-cash expenses – (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) our use of deferred tax assets to offset current tax expense and (iii) related income tax effects. We believe these non-GAAP measures help investors evaluate our financial performance and potential future results. Our non-GAAP measures may be different from, and not directly comparable to, those used by other companies. They are not a substitute for comparable GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation. Investors should read our non-GAAP presentation in conjunction with our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
