SAGENT PHARMACEUTICALS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
-Conference Call Today at 10:00 a.m. EST-
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., November 7, 2011 – Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGNT) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
Third Quarter 2011 Highlights
| • | Launched six new products, including generic levofloxacin in pre-mixed bags, gemcitabine at patent expiry and paclitaxel, a critical oncology product on the FDA drug shortage list; |
| • | Revenue increased 94% to $41.3 million driven by product launches; |
| • | Gross profit increased to $6.9 million, or 16.8% of net revenue on strong margins from newly launched products; |
| • | SG&A as a percentage of sales declined to 16.2% as operating leverage continues to improve; |
| • | Received the 2011 North American Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Quality Leadership for Sagent’s PreventIV Measures (SM) packaging and labeling system used in the heparin product line. |
“I am very pleased with the growth we achieved during the quarter, nearly doubling our gross margin percentage from the second quarter,” said Jeffrey M. Yordon, chief executive officer, founder, and chairman of the board of Sagent. “We have seen strong demand for our new product launches, especially levofloxacin, where we were the first company to launch and gemcitabine. In addition, we have been able to help alleviate market shortages through the launches of vecuronium and paclitaxel. We expect to continue our revenue and gross margin momentum in the fourth quarter, while focusing on the launch of 40 additional products, which are represented by 75 ANDAs that have been recently approved or are pending approval by the FDA.”
Financial Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011
Net revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $41.3 million, an increase of $20.0 million, or 94%, compared to $21.3 million in the third quarter of 2010. The increase is driven by $23.2 million in revenue from the launch of 28 new codes or presentations of 10 new products since September 2010, partially offset by declines in existing products, primarily due to price. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2011 was $6.9 million, or 16.8% of net revenues, compared to $2.7 million, or 12.9% of net revenues, in the third quarter of 2010.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2011 increased 46% to $10.5 million, compared with $7.2 million for the same period in 2010. Product development expense for the third quarter totaled $3.5 million compared to $2.5 million in the third quarter 2010, with the increase due primarily to the milestone payments for ongoing development activities. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the third quarter of 2011 totaled $6.7 million compared to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2010, the increase due primarily to increases in headcount and corporate infrastructure to support revenue growth and manage our requirements to operate as a public company. SG&A comprised 16.2% and 21.1% of net revenue in the third quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of net revenue reflects the significant sales growth over Sagent’s relatively fixed selling and administrative infrastructure.
Including the impact of interest and other non-operating expenses, the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $0.1 million to $4.7 million compared to the third quarter of 2010.
Financial Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011
Net revenue for the first nine months of 2011 was $103.9 million, an increase of $63.4 million, or 157%, compared to $40.5 million in the first nine months of 2010. Product launches since September 2010 contributed $31.6 million, or 50%, of the net revenue increase. Gross profit for the first nine months of 2011 was $14.3 million, or 13.7% of net revenues, compared to $2.9 million, or 7.2% of net revenues, in the first nine months of 2010. We continue to expect that gross profit as a percentage of net revenues will be in the mid-teens for the full year.
Total operating expenses for the first nine months of 2011 increased 24% to $27.9 million, compared with $22.6 million for the same period in 2010. Product development expense for the first nine months of 2011 totaled $8.2 million compared to $8.6 million in the first nine months of 2010. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2011 totaled $18.1 million compared to $13.0 million in the prior year, and represented 17.5% and 32.1% of net revenue for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Including the impact of interest and other non-operating expenses, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $3.6 million to $17.3 million compared to the first nine months of 2010.
Liquidity
Our cash and cash equivalents and short term investments at September 30, 2011 were $114.3 million, and our working capital totaled $127.1 million.
