Impax Laboratories Reports First Quarter 2013 Results

Wed, 01 May 2013 16:01:00 -0400

HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Impax Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPXL) today reported first quarter 2013 adjusted net income of $25.3 million or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $35.8 million or $0.53 per diluted share in the first quarter 2012. GAAP net income for the first quarter 2013 was $105.4 million or $1.55 per diluted share, compared to $12.4 million or $0.18 per diluted share in the prior year period.

For the first quarter 2013, total revenues were $148.5 million, an increase of 15%, compared to $128.6 million in the prior year period. The increase was due to United States (U.S.) sales of Zomig® and sales from the January 4, 2013, launch of generic oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets, for which there was no comparable amount for either product in the prior year period, partially offset by lower sales of the Company’s authorized generic Adderall XR® products as a result of additional generic competition.

Cash and short-term investments increased $50.1 million to $349.0 million as of March 31, 2013, compared to $298.9 million as of December 31, 2012, primarily due to the receipt of a one-time pre-tax payment of $48.0 million in connection with the settlement of litigation as described below. On April 18, 2013, the Company received a one-time pre-tax payment of $102.0 million from Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Endo) under a previously announced agreement. The payment is recorded as a receivable as of March 31, 2013 and is not reflected in the first quarter 2013 cash and cash equivalents balance.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA), was $43.4 million in the first quarter 2013, compared to $62.1 million in the first quarter 2012.

The adjusted results in the first quarter 2013 primarily reflect the removal of the following pre-tax items:

The receipt of $102.0 million from Endo in connection with a previously announced settlement and license agreement.
The receipt of $48.0 million from Shire LLC (Shire) in connection with the settlement of litigation relating to supply of authorized generic Adderall XR products to the Company under the terms of the License and Supply Agreement with Shire (Shire Agreement).
Total charges of $18.1 million, including an inventory reserve on discontinued products ($6.7 million), as further described below, and a reserve of pre-launch inventory for RYTARY^TM ($5.0 million) and other generic products ($6.4 million) as a result of the delay in the anticipated regulatory approvals.
A charge of $7.1 million for amortization and acquisition costs from third-party business development transactions.

The adjusted results in the first quarter 2012 primarily reflect the removal of the following pre-tax items:

The receipt of the gross profit of $30.0 million earned from U.S. Zomig sales pursuant to the License Agreement with AstraZeneca UK Limited (AstraZeneca Agreement).
A charge of $5.2 million relating to an inventory adjustment as a result of a change in the strategic direction of certain generic products.

Please refer to the attached “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP items.

In the first quarter 2013, the Company recorded an inventory reserve of $6.7 million as stated above. This charge was the result of a strategic review conducted by the Company with a third party consulting firm of the Company’s currently manufactured generic product portfolio. This review was completed during the first quarter 2013 and the Company decided to discontinue manufacturing a number of low-sales/low-margin mature products. The total net sales of these products in 2012 were less than 3% of the total Company product revenues, with minimal impact on net income. The Company is currently reviewing manufacturing costs and expects that the discontinuation of these products and other efficiencies will result in cost savings of approximately $10.0 million for the full year 2013, which has been reflected in the revised full year gross margin guidance.

“We expect that this decision will improve operating efficiencies and ensures that resources are allocated and aligned with our strategic growth priorities,” said Larry Hsu, Ph.D., president and CEO, Impax Laboratories, Inc. “We will continue to look for opportunities to free up resources that can be invested to best position Impax for a strong future.”

“On March 21, 2013, we submitted our responses to the recent Form 483 to the FDA and have requested a meeting with the San Francisco District Office to ensure that our plan and actions are in alignment with the FDA’s expectations. We expect to incur $10.0 million to $15.0 million in remediation costs during fiscal year 2013. While we have implemented numerous improvements across our manufacturing and quality operations over the past two years, we remain committed to resolving all observations and exceeding current Good Manufacturing Practices,” concluded Dr. Hsu.

Business Segment Information

The Company has two reportable segments, the Global Pharmaceuticals Division (generic products & services) and the Impax Pharmaceuticals Division (brand products & services) and does not allocate general corporate services to either segment.

Income from operations	$	19,160	$	41,131

In the first quarter 2013, Global Product sales, net, were $97.8 million, compared to $116.2 million in the prior year period. The decline was primarily due to lower sales of authorized generic Adderall XR products as a result of additional generic competition, partially offset by the January 4, 2013, launch of oxymorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets.

Other revenues in the first quarter 2013 were $0.7 million, compared to $4.1 million in the prior year period. The decline is primarily the result of the extension of the revenue recognition period for the Joint Development Agreement with Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (formerly Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation) from November 2013 to December 2014 due to changes in the estimated timing of completion of certain research and development activities.

Gross profit in the first quarter 2013 decreased to $40.2 million, compared to $60.2 million in the prior year period. This decrease is primarily due to lower sales of authorized generic Adderall XR products and a $13.1 million inventory reserve for discontinued products and other generic products as a result of the delay in the anticipated regulatory approvals as described above. Gross margin in the first quarter 2013 decreased to 40%, compared to 49% in the prior year period, primarily due to the inclusion of the $13.1 million inventory charge in cost of revenues as described above.

Total Global Pharmaceuticals operating expenses in the first quarter 2013 increased to $21.0 million, compared to $19.0 million in the prior year period, with such difference primarily due to a $2.0 million milestone payment to a research and development partner.


Impax Pharmaceuticals Division Information

(unaudited, amounts in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
Revenues:
Impax Product sales, net	$	46,521	$	-
Other revenues		332		5,303
Total revenues		46,853		5,303
Cost of revenues		29,174		2,909
Gross profit		17,679		2,394
Operating expenses:
Research and development		7,894		8,143
Selling, general and administrative		12,764		3,061
Total operating expenses		20,658		11,204
Loss from operations	$	(2,979)	$	(8,810)

In the first quarter 2013, Impax Product sales, net, were $46.5 million as a result of U.S. sales of Zomig for which there was no comparable amount in the prior year period. The U.S. patents on Zomig tablets and orally disintegrating tablets expire on May 14, 2013. These two dosage forms represent approximately 90% of the Company’s quarterly sales of Zomig. As a result of the patent expiration, the Company expects generic competition that will significantly impact future sales of these two dosage forms. The Company is planning to launch authorized generic versions of both products upon patent expiration. Impax Pharmaceuticals will continue to commercialize the Zomig nasal spray which has U.S. patents expiring as late as May 2021.

Other revenues in the first quarter 2013 declined to $0.3 million, compared to $5.3 million in the prior year period. This decrease was due to a $3.5 million decline in promotional partner revenues as the Company’s detailing for Pfizer’s product Lyrica^® ended on June 30, 2012 and a $1.4 million decline related to the December 31, 2012 completion of the 24 month amortization period of the $11.5 million up-front payment received under the License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Glaxo Group Limited.

Gross profit in the first quarter 2013 increased to $17.7 million, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period, primarily due to U.S. Zomig sales. Gross margin in the first quarter 2013 decreased to 38%, compared to 45% in the prior year period. The first quarter 2013 gross margin was, however, negatively impacted by the inclusion in cost of revenues of $6.7 million for amortization and acquisition-related costs from the Zomig transaction and a $5.0 million charge for the reserve of RYTARY^TM pre-launch inventory as a result of the delay in the anticipated regulatory approval. In addition, beginning January 1, 2013, the Company paid AstraZeneca royalties on sales of Zomig under the terms of the AstraZeneca Agreement.

Total Impax Pharmaceuticals operating expenses in the first quarter 2013 increased to $20.7 million, compared to $11.2 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the expansion of the sales and marketing group during the third and fourth quarters of 2012 to support the anticipated launch of RYTARY^TM.


Corporate and Other

(unaudited, amounts in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013		2012
General and administrative expenses	$	11,910	$	13,855
Loss from operations	$	(11,910)	$	(13,855)

General and administrative expenses in the first quarter 2013 decreased to $11.9 million, compared to $13.9 million in the prior year period primarily due to lower corporate legal fees.

2013 Financial Guidance

The Company updated its 2013 financial guidance as noted below.

UPDATED - Gross margins as a percent of total revenues are expected to be in the mid 40% range.
Total R&D expenses across the generic and brand divisions of approximately $87.0 million to $95.0 million; generic R&D expenses of approximately $49.0 million to $53.0 million and brand R&D expenses of approximately $38.0 million to $42.0 million.
Patent litigation expenses of approximately $10.0 million to $12.0 million.
SG&A expenses of approximately $115.0 million to $120.0 million.
Amortization expense of approximately $14.0 million. Approximate 2013 quarterly impact on cost of goods sold: first quarter $7.0 million, second quarter $5.0 million, third quarter $1.0 million and fourth quarter $1.0 million.
Effective tax rate of approximately 32% to 34%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Total adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as substitutes for, or superior to, GAAP net income, and net income per diluted share as a measure of financial performance. However, management uses both GAAP financial measures and the disclosed non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business. Further, management believes the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplementary information to and facilitates analysis by investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and trends. The Company’s calculation of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share and adjusted EBITDA, may not be comparable to similarly designated measures reported by other companies, since companies and investors may differ as to what type of events warrant adjustment.

Impax Pharmaceuticals Announces Presentation of RYTARYTM (IPX066) (Carbidopa and Levodopa) Extended-Release Capsules Phase III and Open-Label Extension Data at the American Academy of Neurology 2013 Annual Meeting

Tue, 19 Mar 2013 08:00:00 -0400

HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Impax Pharmaceuticals, a division of Impax Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPXL), today announced the presentation of results from its RYTARY^TM(IPX066) Phase III and open-label extension trials at the 65^th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in San Diego, CA on March 18, 2013. IPX066 is an investigational extended-release capsule formulation of carbidopa-levodopa being developed for the symptomatic treatment of adult patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease. The IPX066 data was presented as part of a poster session, entitled “Movement Disorders: Parkinson’s Disease Therapy.”

The presentation of IPX066 posters was as follows:

Date and Time (all posters):
March 18, 2013 from 2:00-6:30, with authors in attendance from 5:30-6:30 PM (local time)

Presentation Title and Number:
Long-Term Safety of IPX066 Extended-Release Carbidopa-Levodopa Capsules in Patients with Motor Fluctuations in Advanced Parkinson’s Disease
Abstract / Poster Number: 3706/ P01.065

Presentation Title and Number:
Long-Term Safety of IPX066 Extended-Release Carbidopa-Levodopa Capsules in Patients with Early Parkinson’s Disease
Abstract / Poster Number: 3662/ P01.064

Presentation Title and Number:
Analysis of IPX066 Dosing Data in Advanced Parkinson's Disease (PD) Patients
Abstract / Poster Number: 49/ P01.063

On January 21, 2013, Impax received a complete response letter which indicated that the FDA could not approve the NDA for IPX066 at that time. The complete response letter stated that satisfactory resolution and verification of the deficiencies identified during the inspection of the manufacturing facility in Hayward, California would be required before the NDA for IPX066 may be approved. On March 4, 2013, the Company announced the receipt of a Form 483 following an inspection by the FDA of the Hayward facility. The Form 483 contained several observations specific to IPX066 which the Company believes must be satisfactorily resolved before the NDA for IPX066 may be approved.

Open-Label Extension Study in Advanced Parkinson’s Disease (PD) Patients
Advanced PD patients with motor fluctuations who completed either study B08-11, a Phase 2, randomized, open-label, 2-period (1 week per period), crossover pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of IPX066 vs. immediate-release carbidopa-levodopa (IR CD-LD ) or Study B09-02, a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled, parallel group, 13-week comparison of IPX066 vs. IR CD-LD, were eligible for study B09-03, an open-label extension study lasting 9 months.

Three hundred forty nine (349) of 395 eligible advanced PD patients (88.4%) entered the open-label extension study and 313 completed. The most commonly reported adverse events (AEs) during the open-label extension trial were dyskinesia, fall, pain in extremity, hallucinations and arthralgia. The most common AEs reported in the previous trials were headache, nausea, dyskinesia, insomnia and dizziness.

Open-Label Extension Study in Early PD Patients
Early PD patients who completed Study B08-05, a randomized, double-blind, fixed dose study of IPX066 vs. placebo over 30 weeks, were eligible for study B09-03, an open-label extension study lasting nine months. Two hundred sixty eight (268) of 300 eligible early PD patients (89.3%) entered into the extension study and 254 completed. During the open-label extension, the most frequently reported AEs were nausea, insomnia, hypertension and headache. There were 16 serious AEs each reported by one (0.4%) patient. No new patterns of AEs were observed.

Analysis of IPX066 Dosing in Study B09-02
IPX066 dosing in advanced PD patients was evaluated using data from Study B09-02.

IPX066 doses were individually titrated by study investigators according to their clinical evaluation. During this clinical trial, the total daily IPX066 levodopa dose was approximately double that of the levodopa IR dose received. The extended levodopa plasma concentration provided PD patients with higher levodopa exposures without higher overall levodopa maximum concentration. During this clinical study, the median dosing frequency was three times/day for IPX066 while the median dosing frequency was five times/day for CD-LD IR.

About the Impax GSK Collaboration

Impax Pharmaceuticals and GSK announced an agreement for the development and commercialization of IPX066 in December 2010. Under the terms of the agreement, GSK received an exclusive license to register and commercialize IPX066 throughout the world except in the U.S. and Taiwan.

Impax Provides an Update on FDA Inspection of Hayward Facility

Mon, 04 Mar 2013 16:05:00 -0500

Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for 5:00 p.m. ET

HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Impax Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPXL) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) completed its re-inspection of the Company’s Hayward manufacturing facility in connection with the previously disclosed Form 483 issued in March 2012. In addition to the re-inspection, the FDA conducted a Pre-Approval Inspection (PAI) for RYTARY^TM, as analytical method validation and a portion of the stability data were generated in Hayward, and a general Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) inspection. At the conclusion of this inspection, the FDA issued a new Form 483 with twelve (12) observations, three (3) of which are designated as repeat observations from inspections that occurred prior to the Warning Letter.

“We have committed significant resources in our efforts to meet FDA requirements and are clearly disappointed by this news,” said Larry Hsu, Ph.D., president and CEO, Impax Laboratories, Inc. “The analytical method assessment observations arose from our internal work and review as a part of the ongoing quality improvement program designed to assess and enhance our Quality Control Laboratory Analytical Methods and to ensure they meet or exceed internal and industry standards. Resolving the FDA concerns remains a top priority and we intend to complete this work as quickly as possible.”

The Company is working diligently to address the observations raised by the FDA and will respond to these new observations within the fifteen (15) business day period from the receipt of the Form 483.

Currently, the Company has not been informed by the FDA of the impact this latest Form 483 will have on the resolution or timing of resolving the warning letter or whether any further regulatory action may be taken as to its manufacturing operations. Until remedial action is complete and the FDA has confirmed compliance with current GMP, approval of pending and new applications listing the Hayward facility as a manufacturing location of finished dosage forms may be withheld.

The Company has provided a redacted version of the Form 483 as an exhibit in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC concurrently with the issuance of this press release.

Conference Call Information

The Company will host a conference call today at 5:00 p.m. EDT. The call can also be accessed via a live Webcast through the Investor Relations section of the Company’s Web site, www.impaxlabs.com. The number to call from within the United States is (877) 356-3814 and (706) 758-0033 internationally. The conference ID is 18793480. A replay of the conference call will be available shortly after the call for a period of seven days.
