CHESTERFIELD, United Kingdom, May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mallinckrodt plc (NYSE: MNK), a leading global specialty biopharmaceutical company, today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Amounts reported reflect presentation of the company's former contrast media and delivery systems (CMDS) business as a discontinued operation. Unless otherwise noted, all comparisons of fiscal 2016 second quarter or first half performance are to the comparable periods of fiscal 2015.

Total Mallinckrodt net sales were $918.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, up 12.7% on a constant-currency basis. Specialty Brands segment revenue was up 60.0% and the primary component of overall net sales acceleration. Results were led by solid volume growth in H.P. Acthar Gel (repository corticosteroid injection), the inclusion of INOMAX (nitric oxide) gas for inhalation and Therakos(®) immunotherapy platforms, and incremental volume growth for OFIRMEV(®) (acetaminophen) injection. Specialty Brands results were partially offset by decreased net sales within the Specialty Generics and Nuclear Imaging segments.

GAAP net income from continuing operations for the quarter was $120.3 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, compared with $75.2 million, or $0.64 per diluted share. The increase principally reflects higher net sales and profits from recently acquired assets in the Specialty Brands segment and strong net sales and profit contribution from Acthar. In addition, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs decreased due to ongoing restructuring and 2015 charges that did not recur in fiscal 2016. These factors were partially offset by higher interest expense resulting primarily from the debt associated with the acquisitions of INOMAX and Therakos, and the impairment of in-process research and development intangible assets acquired in our fiscal 2013 CNS Therapeutics, Inc. acquisition.

Adjusted net income for the quarter was $224.8 million, up 12.9% from $199.1 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.01, up 18.2% from $1.70.

During the quarter, the company repurchased 3.4 million shares under its share repurchase program.

"Mallinckrodt's performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 was again very strong, driven by exceptional commercial execution across our Specialty Brands portfolio," said Mark Trudeau, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Each of the key branded products contributed volume growth - Acthar, INOMAX, Therakos and, notably, OFIRMEV - expanding patient access so more people may benefit from these drugs. The Specialty Brands segment continues to contribute nearly 60% of our total net sales.

"The strength of our growth strategy is evidenced by these results," Trudeau continued. "We continue to acquire under-resourced assets for underserved patient populations in areas of high unmet medical need. Then we invest in commercial and scientific support for these assets, including generating additional data and sponsoring clinical and health economic studies. By following this strategy and focusing on execution, we are making steady progress and creating near- and long-term value for patients and shareholders."

GAAP gross profit was $479.6 million for the quarter, up 3.6% over $462.9 million. This growth resulted from the addition and performance of both INOMAX and Therakos, and the performance of Acthar and OFIRMEV; partially offset by decreased gross profit from the Specialty Generics segment. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 71.4% versus 71.9%.

GAAP SG&A expenses for the quarter were $231.2 million, compared with $308.4 million. However, adjusted SG&A as a percentage of net sales for the quarter was 25.3%, an improvement of 250 basis points. The decrease in absolute SG&A expenses is primarily due to fiscal 2015 legal, environmental and equity costs - as well as benefits from restructuring - all partially offset by the addition of INOMAX and Therakos marketing and sales teams to the business.

Income tax benefit in the second quarter was $53.6 million, versus a benefit of $34.1 million. The adjusted effective tax rate was 15.7% compared to 20.2%.

Six-Month Fiscal 2016 Results

Net sales were $1.833 billion, up 15.5% compared with $1.587 billion. The increase came primarily through the inclusion and performance of INOMAX and Therakos, and continued net sales performance of Acthar. Specialty Brands results were partially offset by decreased net sales within the Specialty Generics segment.

On a GAAP basis, net income was $329.4 million, compared with $191.5 million. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $2.07 compared with $1.38.

On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income was $467.5 million, compared with $407.8 million. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $4.09, compared with $3.49, an increase of 17.2%.

Liquidity

In the first six months of fiscal 2016, Mallinckrodt generated $448.7 million in free cash flow, with $186.3 million in the second quarter. The company used a portion of this strong cash generation and the cash received from the divestiture of CMDS to repurchase $501.6 million of ordinary shares and to acquire the Hemostasis products. Mallinckrodt's cash balance at the end of the quarter was $341.4 million. The company's liquidity position remains quite strong and resilient, and management remains focused primarily on allocating capital to share repurchases, debt reduction and additional business development targets.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

Specialty Brands Segment

The segment benefited from strong commercial execution throughout the second quarter with net sales increasing to $535.0 million, compared with $334.3 million, an increase of 60.0%. As noted, the increase in net sales was driven by the inclusion and performance of INOMAX and Therakos, which collectively generated net sales of $165.7 million. Additionally, Acthar net sales were $248.4 million in the quarter, an 8.9% increase over $228.0 million. Mallinckrodt's second largest product, INOMAX, generated net sales of $115.5 million, an increase of 13.8% reported over pro forma net sales of $101.5 million, and up 13.9% on a constant-currency basis. OFIRMEV net sales were $71.1 million compared with $68.1 million, an increase of 4.4%. Net sales of the Therakos immunotherapy product line were $50.2 million, which represents growth of 11.6% reported over pro forma net sales of $45.0 million, and up 13.0% on a constant-currency basis.

Specialty Generics Segment

Net sales for the segment in the second quarter decreased 27.1%, to $264.4 million, compared with $362.8 million, driven principally by net sales declines in various product categories due to increased competition. This quarter's comparison also reflects an exceptionally strong second quarter in fiscal 2015. Management continues to expect difficult year-over-year net sales comparisons in this segment moving forward.

Nuclear Imaging Segment

The company completed the sale of its CMDS business to Guerbet S.A. in November 2015. The financial results of the CMDS business are presented as a discontinued operation in both the current and prior fiscal year. The Global Medical Imaging segment was renamed Nuclear Imaging at the beginning of fiscal 2016.

Net sales for the second quarter fiscal 2016 for the Nuclear Imaging segment were $102.2 million, compared with $109.5 million.

GUIDANCE UPDATE

Management is raising its fiscal 2016 guidance for adjusted diluted earnings per share from the previous $7.85 to $8.30 to a revised range of $8.15 to $8.50.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release contains financial measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted gross profit, adjusted SG&A, net sales growth on a constant-currency basis, adjusted effective tax rate, pro forma fiscal 2015 INOMAX net sales, pro forma fiscal 2015 Therakos net sales, and free cash flow, which are considered "non-GAAP" financial measures under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

Adjusted net income, adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A represent amounts prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) and adjusted for certain items that management believes are not reflective of the operational performance of the business. The adjustments for these items are on a pre-tax basis for adjusted gross profit and adjusted SG&A and on an after-tax basis for adjusted net income. Adjustments to GAAP amounts include, as applicable to each measure, restructuring and related charges, net; amortization and impairment charges; discontinued operations; acquisition-related expenses; changes in fair value of contingent consideration obligations; inventory step-up expenses; significant legal and environmental charges; recurrent cash tax payments to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service associated with internal installment sales transactions; and other items identified by the company. Adjusted diluted earnings per share represent adjusted net income divided by the number of diluted shares.

The adjusted effective tax rate is calculated as the income tax effects on continuing and discontinued operations plus the income tax impact included in Mallinckrodt's reconciliation of net income, divided by income from continuing and discontinued operations plus the pre-tax, non-income, tax-related adjustments included in its reconciliation of adjusted net income (excluding dilutive share impact). The income tax impact item included in its reconciliation of adjusted net income primarily represents the tax impact of adjustments between net income and adjusted net income as well as U.S. tax payments associated with internal installment sale transactions.

Net sales growth on a constant-currency basis measures the change in net sales between current- and prior-year periods using a constant currency, the exchange rate in effect during the applicable prior-year period.

Pro forma second quarter fiscal 2015 INOMAX net sales represent $101.5 million of INOMAX net sales under its prior ownership. Pro forma second quarter fiscal 2015 Therakos net sales represent $45.0 million of its net sales under its prior ownership.

Free cash flow for the first six months of fiscal 2016 represents net cash provided by operating activities of $540.1 million less capital expenditures of $91.4 million, each as prepared in accordance with GAAP. For the second quarter, the company generated $228.7 million in net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures of $42.4 million.

The company has provided these adjusted financial measures because they are used by management, along with financial measures in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the company's operating performance. In addition, the company believes that they will be used by certain investors to measure Mallinckrodt's operating results. Management believes that presenting these adjusted measures provides useful information about the company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. These adjusted measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company's definition of these adjusted measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others.

Because adjusted financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the company's reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety. A reconciliation of certain of these historical adjusted financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the tables accompanying this release.

    (3)                  For the three months ended March
                         27, 2015, the diluted net
                         income per share on a GAAP
                         basis was required to be
                         calculated using the two-class
                         method of calculating net
                         income per share. This method
                         required $0.9 million of net
                         income be allocated to
                         participating securities for
                         the three months ended March
                         27, 2015. This adjustment
                         reflects this allocation and a
                         similar allocation of the above
                         adjustments. Using the two-

                         average number of shares were
                         117.2 million for the three
                         months ended March 27, 2015.
                         Due to the fiscal 2015 vesting
                         of equity awards that qualified
                         as participating securities,
                         the Company is no longer
                         required to use the two-class
                         method, and therefore applied
                         the treasury stock method for
                         the three months ended March

    (3)                  For the six months ended March
                         27, 2015, the diluted net
                         income per share on a GAAP
                         basis was required to be
                         calculated using the two-class
                         method of calculating net
                         income per share. This method
                         required $1.9 million of net
                         income be allocated to
                         participating securities for
                         the six months ended March 27,
                         2015. This adjustment reflects
                         this allocation and a similar
                         allocation of the above
                         adjustments. Using the two-
                         class method, the weighted-
                         average number of shares were
                         116.8 million for the six
                         months ended March 27, 2015.
                         Due to the fiscal 2015 vesting
                         of equity awards that qualified
                         as participating securities,
                         the Company is no longer
                         required to use the two-class
                         method, and therefore applied
                         the treasury stock method for
                         the six months ended March 27,

    (1)              Mallinckrodt may from time to time
                     reference pro forma net sales in its
                     public communications, which is
                     considered a "non-GAAP" financial
                     measure under applicable SEC rules and
                     regulations.  Pro forma net sales is a
                     key financial measure used by
                     management to assess net sales growth,
                     and represents net sales of acquired
                     products or businesses as if the
                     product or business had been owned by
                     Mallinckrodt for the entire period
                     presented.  This adjusted measure
                     should be considered supplemental to
                     and not a substitute for financial
                     information prepared in accordance with
                     GAAP.  Mallinckrodt's definition of
                     this adjusted measure may differ from
                     similarly titled measures used by
                     others.  Unless otherwise noted,
                     amounts in the table represent
                     historical pro forma net sales prior to
                     Mallinckrodt's acquisition and are
                     excluded from Mallinckrodt's historical
                     financial information.


    (2)              Unless otherwise noted, the periods
                     presented above represents the three
                     calendar months most closely aligned to
                     Mallinckrodt's fiscal periods, as the
                     prior owners utilized calendar month
                     end reporting.  As such the periods
                     presented above included 92, 90, 91 and
                     92 days for the three months ended
                     December 26, 2014, March 27, 2015, June
                     26, 2015 and September 25, 2015,
                     respectively, instead of 91 days in
                     Mallinckrodt's three months ended for
                     those periods.


    (3)              Inomax pro forma net sales for the three
                     months ended June 26, 2015, included
                     only 87 days as this represented the
                     period it was acquired by Mallinckrodt
                     and converted from calendar reporting
