ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 3, 2012--
Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) announced today its financial
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Total revenues for Q1 2012 were $50.3 million as compared to $18.5
million in 2011. In addition, for Q1 2012 the company recorded a net
loss of $6.8 million, or $0.19 per share, as compared to a net loss of
$21.4 million, or $0.61 per share, in 2011. The Q1 2012 net loss
included a one-time, non-cash charge of $9.6 million. This charge is
related to impairment of in-process research and development associated
with the SBI-087 product candidate, which was being developed by Pfizer.
Pfizer recently notified the company of its intent to terminate its
current development programs with respect to SBI-087, thus triggering
the impairment charge. Without this non-cash charge, the company’s
non-GAAP adjusted net loss was $0.7 million, or $0.02 per share.
Daniel J. Abdun-Nabi, president and chief executive officer of Emergent
BioSolutions, stated, “The performance of our core business during the
first quarter was in line with expectations. We continued to manufacture
and deliver BioThrax into the SNS while investing in the ongoing
development of both our Biosciences and Biodefense product development
programs. We look forward to achieving key milestones in 2012, including
completion of Building 55 consistency lot manufacture, reviewing
preliminary efficacy data from our Phase 2b TB infant trial, completing
enrollment in our Phase 2 CLL combination study, and publishing data
from our Phase 1b NHL combination study.”
Q1 2012 Key Financial Results
Product Sales
For Q1 2012, product sales were $34.4 million, an increase of $28.8
million, from $5.6 million for Q1 2011. This increase was primarily due
to a 636 percent increase in the number of doses of BioThrax delivered.
Contracts and Grants Revenues
For Q1 2012, contracts and grants revenues were $16.0 million, an
increase of $3.0 million, or 23 percent, from $12.9 million for Q1 2011.
The increase was primarily due to increased activity and associated
revenue from our development contracts, specifically large-scale
manufacturing of BioThrax and development of PreviThrax™, both funded by
BARDA.
Cost of Product Sales
For Q1 2012, cost of product sales was $7.5 million, an increase of $6.4
million, from $1.1 million for Q1 2011. This increase was substantially
attributable to the 636 percent increase in the number of BioThrax doses
sold.
Research and Development
For Q1 2012, research and development expenses were $26.2 million, a
decrease of $8.5 million, or 24 percent, from $34.8 million for Q1 2011.
This decrease primarily reflects lower contract service expenses, and
includes decreased expenses of $9.6 million for product candidates and
technology platform development activities within the Biosciences
segment, offset by increased expenses of $1.1 million related to
development of product candidates within the Biodefense segment and
other research and development activities. Net of development contracts
and grants revenue along with the net loss attributable to
noncontrolling interests, research and development expenses were $9.1
million for Q1 2012.
Selling, General and Administrative
For Q1 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses were $19.5
million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 7 percent, from $18.2 million
for Q1 2011. This increase is primarily due to legal and other
professional services to support business initiatives. Selling, general
and administrative expenses for Q1 2012 consisted of $14.5 million
associated with the Biodefense segment and $5.0 million associated with
the Biosciences segment.
In-Process Research & Development
During Q1 2012, the company recorded a charge of $9.6 million
attributable to impairment of the company’s SBI-087 in-process research
and development asset.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents combined with investments at March 31, 2012
was $150.4 million compared to $145.9 million at December 31, 2011.
Additionally, at March 31, 2012, the accounts receivable balance was
$43.7 million, which is comprised primarily of unpaid amounts due for
shipments of BioThrax accepted by the US government.
Forecast: 2Q 2012
For the second quarter of 2012, the company anticipates total revenues
of $70 to $80 million.
Forecast: Full Year 2012
For full year 2012, the company is reaffirming its forecast of total
revenues of $280 to $300 million, split between product sales of $220 to
$230 million and contracts and grants revenue of $60 to $70 million. The
company also reaffirms its forecast of net income of $15 to $25 million.
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Net Loss
During Q1 2012, the company recorded an impairment charge of $9.6
million, which represents the entire carrying value of the company’s
SBI-087 in-process research and development asset. Without this non-cash
charge, after taking into consideration the tax effect, the net loss for
the period is reduced from $6.8 million to $0.7 million, a difference of
approximately $6.1 million. The company believes that disclosing
adjusted earnings figures which exclude the impact of this non-cash
impairment charge provides a more meaningful measure of its operating
results for comparison to future periods and previously announced
guidance.
