Ø TRELEGY Q3 2021 global net sales: $449 million, up 77% from Q3 20202
Ø Restructuring proceeding according to plan

DUBLIN, IRELAND - November 3, 2021 - Theravance Biopharma, Inc. ("Theravance Biopharma" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TBPH) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2021.

"This last month has been about executing on our strategy to create a new Theravance Biopharma, focused on leveraging expertise in developing and commercializing respiratory therapeutics. We are executing against the strategic plan we announced in mid-September to become cash-flow positive by the second-half of 2022," said Rick E Winningham, Chief Executive Officer. "We are on track to reduce headcount by approximately 75% with the large majority of staff departing by the end of November and the remainder by the end of February. Our focus is driving growth of YUPELRI, streamlining R&D investment and optimizing our asset portfolio to maximize shareholder value."

Quarterly Highlights

Ø YUPELRI® (revefenacin) inhalation solution, the first and only once-daily, nebulized bronchodilator approved in the US for the maintenance treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), continued to increase its share of the long-acting nebulized COPD market, increasing to 22% in July 2021, up from 21% in April 2021, and net sales increased by 7% year-over-year (Q3 2021 vs. Q3 2020).
o The Company, in collaboration with its partner Viatris, is also initiating a Phase 4 study comparing improvements in lung function in adults with severe to very severe COPD and suboptimal inspiratory flow rate following once-daily treatment with either YUPELRI® (revefenacin) delivered via standard jet nebulizer or tiotropium delivered via a dry powder inhaler (Spiriva® HandiHaler®). This study is aimed at helping to better inform decisions when physicians are designing a personalized COPD treatment plan with patients. Success in this study would capture more of YUPELRI's addressable market and further strengthen its competitive advantage.
Ø On September 15, 2021, the Company announced strategic actions to focus on its respiratory disease portfolio(read more about the actions here).
Ø Ampreloxetine, an investigational, Theravance Biopharma-discovered, potent, long-acting, once-daily norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor in development for the treatment of symptomatic neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH), reported Phase 3 top-line results (Study 0169 - read more about the data here).
Ø Izencitinib, an orally administered, once-daily, investigational, internally discovered, high affinity, reversible pan-JAK inhibitor which was designed to be gut-selective, reported Phase 2B top-line results (Study 0157 - read more about the data here).

1While Viatris Inc. ("Viatris") records the total YUPELRI net sales, the Company is entitled to a 35% share of the profits and losses pursuant to a co-promotion agreement with Viatris.

2 As reported by Glaxo Group Limited or one of its affiliates (GSK); reported sales converted to USD; economic interest related to TRELEGY (the combination of fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI), jointly developed by GSK and Innoviva, Inc.) entitles the Company to upward tiering payments equal to approximately 5.5% to 8.5% on worldwide net sales of the product (net of Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC (TRC) expenses paid and the amount of cash, if any, expected to be used in TRC over the next four fiscal quarters). 75% of the income from the Company's investment in TRC is pledged to service outstanding notes and 25% of income from the Company's investment in TRC is retained by the Company.

Third Quarter Financial Results

· Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $13.2 million, comprised of non-cash collaboration revenue of $2.8 million primarily attributed to the global collaboration with Janssen and $10.4 million in Viatris collaboration revenue. Total revenue for the third quarter represents a $5.1 million decrease over the same period in 2020 driven by the reduction of non-cash collaboration revenue related to the Janssen collaboration due to the wind down of the izencitinib clinical program.
· YUPELRI: The Viatris collaboration revenue of $10.4 million for the third quarter of 2021 represents amounts receivable from Viatris and is comprised of the Company's 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI as well as its proportionate amount of the total shared costs incurred by the two companies. The non-shared YUPELRI costs incurred by Theravance Biopharma are recorded within operating expenses. While Viatris records the total net sales of YUPELRI within its financial statements, the implied 35% share of net sales of YUPELRI for the third quarter of 2021 was $13.8 million, up 7% from Q3 2020.
· Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $43.7 million, compared to $67.4 million in the same period in 2020. Third quarter R&D expenses included total non-cash share-based compensation of $7.0 million.
· Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $21.3 million, compared to $27.5 million in the same period in 2020. Third quarter SG&A expenses included total non-cash share-based compensation of $7.4 million.
· Restructuring and Related Expenses: Restructuring expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $1.8 million and primarily comprised of severance costs, termination-related benefits, and one-time retention costs.

3As reported by Glaxo Group Limited or one of its affiliates (GSK); reported sales converted to USD; economic interest related to TRELEGY (the combination of fluticasone furoate, umeclidinium, and vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI), jointly developed by GSK and Innoviva, Inc.) entitles the Company to upward tiering payments equal to approximately 5.5% to 8.5% on worldwide net sales of the product (net of Theravance Respiratory Company, LLC (TRC) expenses paid and the amount of cash, if any, expected to be used by TRC over the next four fiscal quarters). 75% of the income from the Company's investment in TRC is pledged to service outstanding notes and 25% of income from the Company's investment in TRC is retained by the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains and the conference call will contain certain "forward-looking" statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding, among other things, statements relating to goals, plans, objectives, expectations and future events. Theravance Biopharma intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of such statements include statements relating to: the Company's goals, designs, strategies, plans and objectives, the impact of the Company's restructuring plan, ability to provide value to shareholders, the Company's regulatory strategies and timing of clinical studies (including the data therefrom), the potential characteristics, benefits and mechanisms of action of the Company's product and product candidates, the potential that the Company's research programs will progress product candidates into the clinic, the Company's expectations for product candidates through development and the market for products being commercialized, the Company's expectations regarding its allocation of resources, potential regulatory actions and commercialization (including differentiation from other products or potential products and addressable market), product sales or profit share revenue and the Company's expectations for its expenses, excluding share-based compensation and other financial results. These statements are based on the current estimates and assumptions of the management of Theravance Biopharma as of the date of the press release and the conference call and are subject to risks, uncertainties, changes in circumstances, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results of Theravance Biopharma to be materially different from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, risks related to: disagreements with Innoviva, Inc. and TRC LLC, the uncertainty of arbitration and litigation and the possibility that the results of these proceedings could be adverse to the Company, additional future analysis of the data resulting from our clinical trial(s), delays or difficulties in commencing, enrolling or completing clinical studies, the potential that results from clinical or non-clinical studies indicate the Company's compounds, products or product candidates are unsafe, ineffective or not differentiated, risks of decisions from regulatory authorities that are unfavorable to the Company, the feasibility of undertaking future clinical trials based on policies and feedback from regulatory authorities, dependence on third parties to conduct clinical studies, delays or failure to achieve and maintain regulatory approvals for product candidates, risks of collaborating with or relying on third parties to discover, develop, manufacture and commercialize products, and risks associated with establishing and maintaining sales, marketing and distribution capabilities with appropriate technical expertise and supporting infrastructure, ability to retain key personnel, the impact of the Company's restructuring actions on its employees, partners and others.

These potential future developments include, but are not limited to, the ultimate duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions, quarantines, social distancing and business closure requirements in the United States and in other countries, other measures taken by us and those we work with to help protect individuals from contracting COVID-19, and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain and treat the disease, including vaccine availability, distribution, acceptance and effectiveness. Other risks affecting Theravance Biopharma are in the Company's Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 5, 2021 and other periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Theravance Biopharma assumes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements on account of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
