SAGENT PHARMACEUTICALS REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenue growth driven by products launched in the last twelve months
Company revises guidance for 2012
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., August 9, 2012 – Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGNT), a leader of specialty pharmaceutical products with an emphasis on the injectable market, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Second Quarter 2012 Highlights
• | Revenue increased 32% to $42.7 million driven by products launched in the last twelve months; |
• | Reported gross profit increased to $6.5 million, or 15.2% inclusive of $1.2 million of margin from the sale of heparin inventory previously written off through excess inventory reserves; |
• | Launched Atracurium Besylate and Irinotecan; and |
• | Key manufacturing partner’s facility found acceptable by FDA, clearing pathway for multiple product approvals and four to six new product launches during the second half of 2012. |
“The second quarter results were in-line with our expectations,” said Jeffrey M. Yordon, president, chief executive officer, and chairman of the board of Sagent. “We are confident that our business will continue to strengthen in the second half of the fiscal year, driven by new group purchasing contracts and the anticipated launch of ten to twelve new products over the remainder of 2012.”
Financial Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012
Net revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was $42.7 million, an increase of $10.4 million, or 32%, compared to $32.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. The increase is driven by $14.1 million in revenue from the launch of 36 new codes or presentations of 13 new products since June 30, 2011, partially offset by declines in existing products, primarily due to pricing pressure. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2012 was $6.5 million, or 15.2% of net revenues, compared to $2.7 million, or 8.5% of net revenues, in the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2012 included $1.2 million of margin from the sale of heparin inventory previously written off through excess inventory reserves.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2012 increased 20% to $11.2 million, compared with $9.4 million for the same period in 2011. Product development expense for the second quarter totaled $4.1 million compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2011, with the increase due primarily to the timing of milestone payments and the purchase of API for ongoing development activities. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $7.3 million compared to $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. This increase was due primarily to increases in incentive stock compensation and headcount to support revenue growth and manage operating requirements. The equity in net income of joint ventures for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $0.1 million compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. Included in these amounts are $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of earnings directly related to the sale of product through our joint venture with Strides.
Including the impact of interest and other non-operating expenses, the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $4.7 million. The net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $8.2 million.
Financial Results for the six months ended June 30, 2012
Net revenue for the first six months of 2012 was $81.0 million, an increase of $18.4 million, or 29%, compared to $62.6 million in the first six months of 2011. Product launches since June 2011 contributed $25.6 million of the net revenue increase. Gross profit for the first six months of 2012 was $12.3 million, or 15.2% of net revenues, compared to $7.3 million, or 11.7% of net revenues, in the first six months of 2011. Gross profit for the first six months of 2012 includes $1.4 million of margin from the sale of heparin inventory previously written off through excess inventory reserves.
Total operating expenses for the first six months of 2012 increased 38% to $24.0 million, compared with $17.4 million for the same period in 2011. Product development expense for the first six months of 2012 totaled $8.7 million compared to $4.7 million in the first six months of 2011. SG&A expenses for the first six months of 2012 totaled $14.9 million compared to $11.5 million in the prior year.
Including the impact of interest and other non-operating expenses, the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $13.0 million and $12.6 million, respectively.
Liquidity
Our cash and cash equivalents and short term investments at June 30, 2012 were $66.2 million, and our working capital totaled $103.4 million.
Fiscal 2012 Revised Guidance
Yordon noted, “We have revised our outlook for the remainder of the year based on a combination of factors including continued competitive pressure on our base business, primarily oncolytics, supply constraints at a significant joint venture partner, and delayed launch performance on new products. Despite having to revise our near-term expectations, we continue to be focused on the long term development of the business and remain committed to achieving our strategic initiatives and growth trajectory.”
Sagent’s revised outlook for fiscal 2012 currently anticipates:
• | Net revenue for the year to be in the range of $180 to $200 million driven by new product launches and group purchasing organization contract penetration; |
• | Gross margin as a percentage of net revenue in the range of 14% to 17%; |
• | Product development expense in the range of $20 to $22 million; and |
• | Selling, general and administrative expenses in the range of $30 to $32 million. |
Based upon the above assumptions, the Company anticipates reported net loss for fiscal 2012 to be in the range of $20 to $30 million.
