PDL BioPharma Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 Financial Results
INCLINE VILLAGE, NV, February 23, 2012 – PDL BioPharma, Inc. (PDL) (NASDAQ: PDLI) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2011.
Total revenues in 2011 were $362 million, compared to $345 million in 2010, with royalty revenues increasing two percent over full year 2010. For the fourth quarter of 2011, total revenues were $72.8 million, compared to $76.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Royalty revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 are based on third quarter product sales by PDL’s licensees. The fourth quarter 2011 revenue decline is primarily driven by reduced royalties from third quarter 2011 sales of Avastin® and Herceptin®, which are marketed by Genentech and Roche, partially offset by increased royalties from third quarter 2011 sales of Lucentis® which is marketed by Genentech and Novartis, and Tysabri®, which is marketed by Elan and Biogen Idec. Royalty revenue for the fourth quarter and 2011 are net of payments made under our February 2011 settlement agreement with Novartis Pharma AG.
Operating expenses in 2011 were $18.3 million, compared with $133.9 million in 2010. Included in operating expenses in 2010 is a $92.5 million legal settlement with MedImmune and $41.4 million in general and administrative expenses. For the fourth quarter of 2011, general and administrative expenses were $4.8 million compared with $12.1 million for the same period of 2010.
Net income in 2011 was $199.4 million, or $1.15 per diluted share as compared with net income of $91.9 million in 2010 or $0.54 per diluted share. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $38.9 million or $0.24 per diluted share as compared with a net loss of $24.5 million or $(0.18) per diluted share for the same period of 2010. Adjusting for effects of certain convertible note transactions throughout the year, non-GAAP net income for 2011 was $201.6 million, or $1.17 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income was $168.4 million, or $0.97 per diluted share in 2010, adjusting for the legal settlement with MedImmune and the effects of certain convertible note transactions in that year. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $39.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $35.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2011 was $169.8 million, compared with $184.3 million in 2010. At December 31, 2011, PDL had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $227.9 million, compared with $248.2 million at December 31, 2010.
Recent Developments
2012 Dividends
On January 18, 2012, PDL’s Board of Directors declared regular quarterly dividends of $0.15 per share of common stock, payable on March 14, June 14, September 14 and December 14 of 2012 to stockholders of record on March 7, June 7, September 7 and December 7 of 2012, the record dates for each of the dividend payments, respectively.
Exchange and Retirement of Convertible Notes
In January and February 2012, we completed public and privately negotiated exchange transactions where we exchanged and subsequently retired $179.0 million aggregate principal amount, representing over 99% of our 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due February 15, 2015 (February 2015 Notes), for $179.0 million aggregate principal amount of new 2.875% Series 2012 Convertible Senior Notes due February 15, 2015 (Series 2012 Notes). In the public exchanges, we made one-time cash payments of $5.00 for each $1,000 principal amount tendered for a total cash incentive payment of $0.8 million. Following settlement of the exchanges on February 2, 2012, $1.0 million of our February 2015 Notes and $179.0 million of our Series 2012 Notes were outstanding. Our Series 2012 Notes net share settle. The effect of issuing $179.0 million aggregate principal of our Series 2012 Notes with the net share settle feature in exchange for our February 2015 Notes was the reduction of 27.8 million shares of potential dilution to our stockholders.
Revenue Guidance for 2012
