ANGIOTECH ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
Vancouver, BC, November 6, 2008– Angiotech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANPI, TSX: ANP), a global specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
“Our Medical Products sales results continued their growth trend in the third quarter, with solid improvement as compared to the same period in 2007,” said Dr. William Hunter, President and CEO of Angiotech. “Sales of our Promoted Brand product portfolio, including Quill™ SRS and the newly launched HemoStream™ chronic dialysis catheter, continue to show differential growth, and the cost reduction initiatives we announced have started to take hold, with reduced reported expenses across all operating categories in the current quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2008. We are exceptionally proud of our dedicated people, who have worked hard to deliver these results in what has been a challenging operating environment for our company.”
Third Quarter Financial Highlights
- Total revenue was $68.4 million.
- Net product sales were $46.5 million.
- Royalty revenue was $21.4 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to excludecertain non-cash and non-recurring items) was $11.5 million.
- Research and development expenses were $10.7 million, and as adjusted to exclude non-cash stock-basedcompensation expenses and non-recurring termination related costs were $8.8 million. These resultscompare to $18.6 million and $17.2 million (as adjusted), respectively, in the second quarter of 2008,reflecting a reduction in expenses of 49% on an adjusted basis in one quarterly period.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses were $23.4 million, and as adjusted to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, non-recurring termination related costs and intellectual property litigationcosts, were $20.5 million. These results compare to $25.8 million and $23.6 million (as adjusted),respectively, in the second quarter of 2008 and to $24.7 million and $21.5 million (as adjusted),respectively, in the third quarter of 2007. Importantly, we were able to achieve higher sales during thecurrent period on lower absolute levels of selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to thesame period of 2007.
- GAAP net loss and net loss per share from continuing operations for the quarter were $622.4 million and$7.31, respectively. These reported net losses reflect a substantial non-cash item; specifically a write downof goodwill and other items totalling $612.9 million. Primarily as a result of our acquisition of AmericanMedical Instruments Holdings, Inc. in March of 2006, we have recorded a significant amount of goodwill inour non-current assets, representing a substantial portion of the acquisition consideration amounts that wereabove the fair value of assets acquired. According to GAAP, circumstances that could trigger a “goodwillimpairment” include significant declines in a company’s share price, adverse changes or outcomes in legalor regulatory m atters, technological advances that may significantly impact a company’s competitiveposition, decreases in anticipated demand for a company’s or a partner’s products or services, orunanticipated competition. As a result of the significant and sustained decline in our public share price andour announcement on September 22, 2008 that we may not be able to meet the closing conditions of theproposed transaction with Ares Management (“Ares”) and New Leaf Venture Partners (“New Leaf”), weperformed an interim impairment test of goodwill and acquired intangible assets. Upon the conclusion ofsuch testing, we recorded an impairment charge to goodwill, which is a non-cash accounting item, of $599.4 million in the third quarter of 2008. In addition, as a result of th e uncertainty regarding ourproposed transaction with Ares and New Leaf, in the third quarter of 2008 we recognized costs andpotential costs totalling $13.5 million related to our exploration of proposed financing and strategicalternatives, as described further below under “Significant Recent Developments”, of which $3.1 millionhad been capitalized to other assets on our balance sheet at the end of the second quarter of 2008.

- Adjusted net loss from continuing operations and adjusted net loss per share from continuing operations(GAAP net loss as adjusted to exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring items) were $4.3 million and$0.05, respectively.
- As of September 30, 2008, cash and short and long-term investments were $72.5 million and net debt was$509.1 million.
Significant Recent Developments
On July 7, 2008, we announced our Board of Directors had authorized a transaction to create a new subsidiary, Angiotech Pharmaceutical Interventions, Inc. (“API”), and that we would contribute certain business assets and intellectual property to API, which were to include primarily business assets of Angiotech other than the intellectual property and royalty revenue related to our partnership with Boston Scientific Corporation (“BSC”) and BSC’s sales of TAXUS® paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent systems. Concurrently, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Ares and New Leaf, under which the investors would purchase between $200 and $300 million, at our option, of convertible notes issued by API that would be convertible into a significant minority equity interest in API. The net proceeds from the issuance of the convertible notes were to be used to refinance existing Angiotech debt through the consummation of a tender offer. The tra nsaction was subject to shareholder approval.
On September 22, 2008, we announced that we would postpone the planned shareholder vote regarding the proposed transaction with Ares and New Leaf. As of that date, we advised Ares and New Leaf that, given the time required to complete more extended discussions with certain of our shareholders and bondholders and to therefore complete the transaction, and given various other factors impacting our business and cash position (including lower expected royalty revenues derived from sales of TAXUS by our partner BSC), that we did not believe we would be able to satisfy the condition in the Note Purchase Agreement with respect to the minimum level of cash and cash equivalents required to be held at the time of the transaction’s close.
As a result of the uncertainty regarding our proposed transaction with Ares and New Leaf, we also announced on September 22, 2008 that management and the Board of Directors would continue to explore and pursue financial and strategic alternatives in order to address our balance sheet and current capital structure, including but not limited to whether we could consummate the previously announced transaction or other potential transaction alternatives with Ares and New Leaf. On September 23, 2008, we announced the termination of our previously announced cash tender offer for our outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2013 and our outstanding 7.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014.
On September 22, 2008 we also announced that we would pursue various initiatives to reduce operating costs and further focus our business efforts. Our remaining resources subsequent to these reorganization and cost reduction initiatives will be focused primarily on our existing medical device products business, with particular emphasis on our portfolio of Promoted Brands and on selected new products that have recently launched or are expected to be launched in the near future, including Quill™ SRS, the HemoStream™ Chronic Dialysis Catheter, the Option™ Inferior Vena Cava Filter and the Bio-Seal™ Lung Biopsy System.
Due to numerous factors that may impact our future cash position, working capital and liquidity as discussed below, and the significant cash that will be necessary to continue to service our current level of debt obligations, there can be no assurance that we will have adequate liquidity and capital resources to satisfy our financial obligations in 2009 and beyond.
Our cash inflows and the amounts of expenditures that will be necessary to execute our business plan are subject to numerous uncertainties, including but not limited to: changes in drug-eluting coronary stent markets,including the impact of new competitive entrants into such markets, and the sales achieved in such markets by our partner BSC, the timing and success of product sales and marketing initiatives and new product launches, the timing and success of our research, product development and clinical trial activities, the timing of completing certain operational initiatives including facility closures, our ability to effect reductions in certain aspects of our budgets in an efficient and timely manner, and changes in interest rates. These and other uncertainties may adversely affect our liquidity and capital resources to a significant extent and may force us to further reduce our expenditures on research and development or on our var ious new product and sales and marketing initiatives in order for us to continue to service our debt obligations. Such further reductions in our budgeted expenditures may have an adverse effect on our new product development and sales growth initiatives and reduce our ability to achieve the revenue growth targets, product launch or new product development timelines in our current operating plan. There can also be no assurance that such reductions in expenditures will be adequate to provide enough cash flow to continue to service our current level of debt obligations.

In particular, should our royalties received from BSC decline more significantly than we expect in future periods as a result of new competitive entrants into the U.S. drug-eluting stent market from Abbott Laboratories, Inc. and Medtronic, Inc., our liquidity may be adversely affected, and we may be forced to explore alternative funding sources through debt, equity or other public or private securities offerings, or to pursue certain reorganization, restructuring or other strategic alternatives. There can be no assurance that if we pursue such financing activities that alternative sources of funding would be available to us on attractive terms, if at all. In addition, we may not be able to complete any restructuring, reorganization or strategic activities on terms that would be favourable for the Company or our shareholders. Capital markets conditions have deteriorated significantly during the third quarter of 2008, including a significant and material decline in the level of corporate lending activity, combined with a significant increase in the cost of any such lending. Current market conditions may have a material impact on our ability to secure any alternative source of funding, our ability to secure interim financing or to complete any of the activities as described on favourable terms, if at all.Our management and Board of Directors continue to believe a transaction alternative of significant size and scope is necessary to meaningfully address the working capital needs for our business initiatives and provide the financial and operating flexibility necessary for us to achieve our operating and revenue growth goals.
Third Quarter Business Highlights
- Promoted Brand Strategy.Sales of our currently marketed Promoted Brand products continued todemonstrate higher revenue growth as compared to our overall product portfolio, consistent with the priorquarter. Revenue growth in our Promoted Brand products was approximately 50%, contributing to anaggregate growth rate of approximately 12% in total product revenue in the third quarter of 2008 ascompared to the comparable quarter of 2007. During the third quarter, we announced that we had receivedCE Mark approval to market and sell our HemoStream™ chronic dialysis catheter in Europe. We launchedHemoStream in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2008, taking our total number of promoted brandsavailable for sale to six. We al so observed continued commercial progress with our proprietary Quill SRSproduct line. At the end of the third quarter, we had 464 hospital customers, which is on track relative toour goal of 500 hospital customers by the end of 2008.
- Base Medical Products Sales. Sales of products outside of our Promoted Brand product group alsoexperienced growth during the quarter. Revenue growth in our base Surgical, Interventional and Specialtiesbusinesses (excluding Promoted Brands) was approximately 6% in the third quarter of 2008 as compared tothe third quarter of 2007, reflecting the continued benefits of the realignment of our sales force completed atthe end of 2007 and continued customer stability in our Specialities business, which primarily sells medicaldevices and medical device components to other third-party medical device makers.
- TAXUS Liberte® and TAXUS Express2 Atom™ Stents.On October 10, 2008, we announced that BSChad received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to market and sell the second-generation TAXUS Liberte® Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System in the U.S. On September 25,2008, we announced that BSC had received approval from the FDA to market and sell the TAXUSExpress2 Atom™ Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System in the U.S. We are entitled to receive royalties based on the commercial sale of these products by BSC, which BSC has stated are currently expected tocommercially launch before the end of 2008.

- TAXUS PERSEUS Clinical Trial.On October 8, 2008, we announced that BSC had completed enrollmentin the PERSEUS clinical trial, designed to evaluate the TAXUS Element paclitaxel-eluting coronary stent,which is the third-generation BSC stent platform to utilize our proprietary paclitaxel technology. ThePERSEUS clinical program has enrolled nearly 1,500 patients at 100 U.S. and international centers sinceJuly 2007, and will compare the safety and efficacy of the TAXUS Element Stent to the prior-generationTAXUS Express2 Stent.
- Zilver® PTX™ Paclitaxel-eluting Peripheral Stent.On September 10, 2008 we announced that our partnerCook Medical (“Cook”) had completed enrollment in the first international clinical trial of a drug-elutingstent designed to treat arterial blockages outside the coronary arteries. The 420 patients enrolled in Cook’srandomized trial of its Zilver PTX Drug-Eluting Peripheral Stent include peripheral artery disease patientstreated in Germany, the United States and Japan. Based on a release by Cook on September 10, 2008, Cookhad enrolled an additional 780 patients in the European Union, Canada and Korea in a clinical registrydesigned to evaluate the safety of the Zilver PTX device. Those data have been used for submission inEurope for CE Mark approval to market the device there, with additional regulatory submissions pending inadditional markets.
Financial Information
This press release contains the condensed financial statements derived from the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Full unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008, will be filed with the relevant regulatory agencies, as well as posted on our website at www.angiotech.com.

Use of Certain Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain financial results presented in this press release include non-GAAP measures that exclude certain items. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations, adjusted net loss per share from continuing operations and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring items such as, goodwill and financing cost write downs, acquisition related amortization charges, acquired in-process research and development relating to license agreements and acquisitions, stock-based compensation expense, foreign exchange gains or losses relating to translation of foreign denominated items and other non-recurring items. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations, adjusted net loss per share from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude litigation expenses related to defending intellectual property claims. Revenue, as adjusted, excludes non-recurring, non-operating revenue deri ved from license agreements and other license revenue, net of license fees due to licensors and excludes amounts accrued for costs incurred. Adjusted net loss from continuing operations, adjusted net loss per share from continuing operations, revenue, as adjusted, and Adjusted EBITDA do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Management uses these non-GAAP or adjusted operating measures to establish operational goals and believes that these measures may assist investors in evaluating the results of the business and analyzing the underlying trends in our business over time. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have provided a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP in the attached tables.
