HAYWARD, Calif., Nov. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Impax Laboratories, Inc.(NASDAQ: IPXL), today announced third quarter 2017 financial results.

Total revenues in the third quarter 2017 were $206.4 million, a decrease of 9.4%, compared to $227.9 million in the prior year period as a decrease in sales of generic products was partially offset by an increase in sales of specialty products.

GAAP net loss was $49.4 million or a loss of $0.69 per share for the third quarter 2017, compared to a loss of $179.3 million or a loss of $2.51 per share in the prior year period. The third quarter 2017 results included a reserve charge for pre-launch product inventory due to delays in anticipated regulatory approvals, non-cash intangible asset impairment charges, and restructuring and severance charges related to the Company's operational and cost improvement plans. The third quarter 2016 results include non-cash intangible asset impairment charges primarily related to the products acquired from Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and affiliates of Allergan plc (the 'Teva Transaction').

Adjusted net income was $16.7 million or $0.23 per share in the third quarter 2017, compared to $26.1 million or $0.37 per share in the prior year period, primarily due to lower product revenue caused by buyer consolidation and additional competition. Refer to the attached 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures' for a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP items.

For the third quarter 2017, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was a loss of $15.4 million, compared to a loss of $247.9 million in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the charges noted above. Adjusted EBITDA was $45.6 million, compared to $58.9 million in the prior year period. Cash and cash equivalents were $157.7 million as of September 30, 2017.

'This quarter saw us execute on our Path Forward long-term growth strategy with the announcement of the pending Amneal Pharmaceuticals transaction,' said Paul Bisaro, President and Chief Executive Officer of Impax. 'The combination with Amneal will provide multiple opportunities to drive strong future growth, including investment in high-growth specialty assets. This combination will create a more diversified company with one of the industry's leading high-value generic product pipelines with broad R&D capabilities across dosage forms. We are actively engaged in pre-integration planning and continue to target a close in the first half of 2018.'

'While our third quarter results were in line with our expectations, we continue to navigate the challenging generic market environment. As such, we accelerated our focus on aligning infrastructure to support standalone revenue and earnings growth, while closely controlling our expenses. We have made significant progress on our operational and cost improvement plan as we currently expect to complete the closure of our Middlesex, New Jersey packaging facility by the end of 2017, ahead of schedule. Additionally, we are in late-stage negotiations for the sale of our Taiwan manufacturing facility. If we are successful in selling our Taiwan facility by the end of the first quarter of 2018, we could realize the anticipated cost savings by the end of 2018, approximately one year ahead of schedule.'

Adjusted gross profit is calculated as total revenues less adjusted cost of revenues. Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenues. Refer to the 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures' for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP items.

Total revenues for the Generics division in the third quarter 2017 were $151.1 million, a decrease of 13.8%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease compared to the prior year period was primarily due to revenue reductions and increased competition on a few key products including metaxalone, fenofibrate and oxymorphone ER, partially offset by higher sales of epinephrine auto-injector, diclofenac sodium gel 3%, new product launches and products acquired as part of the Teva Transaction.

Gross margin in the third quarter 2017 was a loss of 2.4%, compared to a loss of 111.9% in the prior year period, primarily due to lower impairment charges during the current year period, partially offset by new product launch inventory reserves and facility closure costs. Adjusted gross margin in the third quarter 2017 declined to 34.5%, compared to 43.8% in the prior year period, primarily due to product sales mix and an increase in product reserves for short dated inventory and lower-cost-to-market adjustments on a few products acquired in the Teva Transaction,

Total operating expenses in the third quarter 2017 were $17.8 million, compared to $37.2 million in the prior year period. The decline was primarily due to in-process research and development impairment charges in the third quarter 2016 for which there were no comparable amounts in the current year period. Additionally, research and development expenses in the third quarter 2017 declined compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of the closure of the Company's Middlesex, New Jersey research and development facility.

Adjusted gross profit is calculated as total revenues less adjusted cost of revenues. Adjusted gross margin is calculated as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenues. Refer to the 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures' for a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP items.

Total revenues for the Impax Specialty Pharma division in the third quarter 2017 were $55.3 million, an increase of 5.1%, compared to the prior year period, driven by higher sales of Rytary and the anthelmintic products franchise, partially offset by lower sales of Zomig.

Gross margin in the third quarter 2017 was 68.2%, compared to 58.4% in the prior year period primarily due to product sales mix, lower amortization expenses and lower short dated inventory reserves. Adjusted gross margin in the third quarter 2017 was 84.6%, compared to 72.5% in the prior year period, primarily due to product sales mix and a decline in short dated inventory reserve.

Total operating expenses in the third quarter 2017 were $21.3 million, compared to $37.5 million in the prior year period. The decline was primarily due to in-process research and development impairment charges of $13.2 million in the third quarter 2016 for which there was no comparable amounts in the current year period. Additionally, total operating expenses in the third quarter 2017 declined compared to the prior year period due to lower research and development and patent litigation expenses.

IPX203 Phase 2b Study Results

The Company recently completed the clinical phase of its Phase 2b study for IPX203, an investigational extended-release formulation of carbidopa-levodopa (CD-LD) in advanced Parkinson's disease patients. The Company is evaluating next steps in the further development of IPX203.

In the multiple dose Phase 2b study, patients achieved an average 2.2 hours reduction in 'Off' time during the IPX203 treatment period compared to during the IR CD-LD treatment period and 2.0 hours improvement in 'Good On' time based on patient diary data. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported in two or more subjects during IPX203 treatment included nausea, dizziness, and dyskinesia. Results from the multiple dose Phase 2b study confirmed earlier results of the Phase 2a single dose study.

The Phase 2b study was a randomized 2-week, multiple dose, multicenter, rater-blinded, active-controlled, crossover clinical trial that evaluated IPX203 compared to immediate-release (IR) CD-LD in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). It enrolled 28 patients, ages 47 to 83 years, at 11 sites in the United States. The study evaluated the safety and efficacy of individualized doses of IPX203 based on a patient's prestudy individualized regimen of CD-LD.

Impax Laboratories, Inc.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cost of revenues, adjusted research and development expenses and adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses 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 loss, GAAP net loss per diluted share, GAAP cost of revenues, GAAP research and development expenses and GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses 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 addition 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 calculations of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cost of revenues, adjusted research and development expenses and adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, 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.
