GERMANTOWN, Md., Nov. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Intrexon Corporation XON, a leader in the engineering and industrialization of biology to improve the quality of life and health of the planet, today announced its third quarter financial results for 2016. 

Changes to non-GAAP financial measures:

Beginning this quarter, the Company has redefined its Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share measures, which will no longer include an adjustment for the impact of the change in deferred revenue related to upfront and milestone payments, to comply with new interpretations on non-GAAP financial measures recently issued by the SEC staff. The prior period non-GAAP financial measures have been revised to conform to the current presentation. Refer to the Appendix to this earnings release for a reconciliation of the revised and previously defined Adjusted EBITDA measures in the current and prior periods. Going forward, the Company will no longer present Adjusted EBITDA based on the previous definition. However, supplemental information about the impact of the change in deferred revenue related to upfront and milestone payments will continue to be provided in future periods. Adjusted EBITDA as previously defined can be calculated by adding the redefined Adjusted EBITDA measure and the impact of the change in deferred revenue related to upfront and milestone payments.

Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period

Total revenues were $49.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $53.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $4.4 million, or 8%. Collaboration and licensing revenues decreased $4.1 million from the quarter ended September 30, 2015 due to the recognition in 2015 of previously deferred revenue related to collaboration agreements for which the Company satisfied all of its obligations or which were terminated during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. This decrease was offset by (i) the recognition of deferred revenue for upfront payments received from collaborations signed by the Company between October 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016 and the recognition of the payment received in June 2016 from ZIOPHARM to amend their collaborations; and (ii) increased research and development services for these collaborations and for the progression or the addition of new programs with previously existing collaborators. Product revenues were $9.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $9.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 2%. Gross margin on products improved in the current period primarily due to a decline in the average cost of cows. Service revenues were $8.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $8.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 3%. Gross margin on services decreased in the current period primarily due to an increase in service related costs in the current period driven by increased headcount to support future revenue growth.

Total operating expenses were $77.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $61.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $16.5 million, or 27%. Research and development expenses increased $7.4 million, or 34%, due primarily to increases in (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for research and development employees, (ii) lab supplies and consulting expenses, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs increased $2.1 million due to (i) an increase in research and development headcount to support new and expanded collaborations and (ii) a full period of costs for research and development employees assumed in the Company's acquisition of Oxitec in September 2015. Lab supplies and consulting expenses increased $3.9 million as a result of (i) the progression into the preclinical phase with certain of Intrexon's collaborators; (ii) the increased level of research and development services provided to the Company's collaborators; and (iii) a full period of costs incurred as a result of the Company's September 2015 acquisition of Oxitec. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.9 million primarily as a result of (i) the inclusion of a full period of depreciation and amortization on property, equipment and intangible assets acquired in the Company's 2015 acquisitions, (ii) amortization of developed technology acquired from EnviroFlight in February 2016, and (iii) amortization related to AquaBounty's intangible assets upon regulatory approval in November 2015. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $10.8 million, or 47%, over the third quarter of 2015. Legal and professional expenses increased $4.5 million due to (i) consulting expenses payable in shares of Intrexon's common stock pursuant to the Company's services agreement with Third Security, LLC, or Third Security, which the Company entered into in November 2015; (ii) expenses incurred to support domestic and international government affairs for regulatory and other approvals necessary to commercialize the Company's products and services; (iii) increased legal fees to defend ongoing litigation; and (iv) incremental costs incurred to support the ongoing operations of the Company's 2015 acquisitions. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for SG&A employees increased $5.3 million due to increased headcount, including the hiring of two new executive officers and additional business development professionals, to support the Company's expanding operations, as well as its acquisition of Oxitec in September 2015.

Year-to-Date 2016 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period

Total revenues were $144.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $132.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $12.8 million, or 10%. Collaboration and licensing revenues increased $15.5 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily due to (i) the recognition of deferred revenue for upfront payments received from collaborations signed by the Company between October 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016, including the payment received in June 2016 from ZIOPHARM to amend their collaborations; and (ii) increased research and development services for these collaborations and for the progression of programs or the addition of new programs with previously existing collaborators. This increase is partially offset by the recognition in 2015 of previously deferred revenue related to collaboration agreements for which the Company satisfied all of its obligations of which were terminated during 2015. Product revenues were $28.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 12%. The decrease in product revenues primarily relates to a decrease in quantities sold of livestock previously used in production and live calves sold due to lower customer demand. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the quantity of weaned calves sold due to higher customer demand. Gross margin on products decreased due to a decline in the average sales prices of livestock previously used in production and also of live calves, and is partially offset by an increase in gross margin on sales of pregnant cows due to a decline in the average cost of cows. Service revenues were $33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $32.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $1.1 million, or 4%. The increase relates to an increase in the number of in vitro fertilization cycles performed due to higher customer demand. Gross margin on services was consistent period over period.

Total operating expenses were $237.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $244.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $7.1 million, or 3%. Research and development expenses declined $38.0 million, or 31%, due primarily to the inclusion in 2015 of a $59.6 million payment in common stock for an exclusive license to certain technologies owned by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. This decrease was partially offset by increases in (i) salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for research and development employees, (ii) lab supplies and consulting expenses, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs increased $6.7 million due to (i) an increase in research and development headcount to support new and expanded collaborations and (ii) costs for research and development employees assumed in the Company's acquisition of Oxitec in September 2015. Lab supplies and consulting expenses increased $10.1 million as a result of (i) the progression into the preclinical phase with certain of Intrexon's collaborators; (ii) the increased level of research and development services provided to the Company's collaborators; and (iii) costs incurred as a result of the Company's September 2015 acquisition of Oxitec. Depreciation and amortization increased $4.7 million primarily as a result of (i) the inclusion of a full period of depreciation and amortization on property, equipment and intangible assets acquired in the Company's 2015 acquisitions and (ii) amortization related to AquaBounty's intangible assets upon regulatory approval in November 2015. SG&A expenses increased $32.6 million, or 44%, over the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for SG&A employees increased $9.2 million due to (i) increased headcount, including the hiring of two new executive officers and additional business development professionals, to support the Company's expanding operations; (ii) noncash compensation paid to the Company's CEO pursuant to the compensation agreement entered into in November 2015; (iii) a full period of stock compensation expense for officers hired in 2015; and (iv) salaries, benefits and other personnel costs for employees assumed in the Company's acquisition of Oxitec in September 2015. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in stock compensation and other compensation expenses resulting primarily from the departure of certain officers of the Company in 2016. Legal and professional expenses increased $13.9 million primarily due to (i) consulting expenses payable in shares of Intrexon's common stock pursuant to the Company's services agreement with Third Security which the Company entered into in November 2015; (ii) expenses incurred to support domestic and international government affairs for regulatory and other approvals necessary to commercialize the Company's products and services; (iii) increased legal fees for trial and post-trial activities in Trans Ova Genetics, L.C.'s, or Trans Ova, litigation with XY, LLC, and to defend ongoing litigation; and (iv) incremental costs incurred to support the ongoing operations of the Company's 2015 acquisitions and other business development activities. In 2016, the Company also recorded $4.2 million in litigation expenses arising from the entrance of a court order in Trans Ova's trial with XY, LLC.

Total other income (expense), net, was $(39.1) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $65.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a decrease of $104.2 million, or 160%. This decrease was attributable to the $81.4 million realized gain recognized upon the special stock dividend of all of Intrexon's shares of ZIOPHARM to the Company's shareholders in June 2015 and the decrease in fair value of the Company's equity securities portfolio.

Intrexon Corporation and Subsidiaries
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share. To supplement Intrexon's financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), Intrexon presents Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share. Beginning this quarter, the Company redefined these measures, which will no longer include an adjustment for the impact of the change in deferred revenue related to upfront and milestone payments. Refer to the Appendix to this earnings release for a reconciliation of the revised and previously defined Adjusted EBITDA measures in current and prior periods.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (as redefined) to net income or loss attributable to Intrexon under GAAP appears below. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that Intrexon calculates as net income or loss attributable to Intrexon adjusted for income tax expense or benefit, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, shares issued as compensation for services, bad debt expense, noncash research and development expenses related to the acquisition of Intrexon's license agreement with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, litigation expenses, realized and unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of equity securities, and equity in net loss of affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are key metrics for Intrexon's management and Board of Directors for evaluating the Company's financial and operating performance, generating future operating plans and making strategic decisions about the allocation of capital. Management and the Board of Directors believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are useful to understand the long-term performance of Intrexon's core business and facilitate comparisons of the Company's operating results over multiple reporting periods. Intrexon is providing this information to investors and others to assist them in understanding and evaluating the Company's operating results in a manner similar to how its management and Board of Directors evaluate operating results (except for the impact of the change in deferred revenue related to upfront and milestone payments, which is adjusted in the measures evaluated by management and the Board of Directors but no longer presented due to new SEC guidance on non-GAAP measures). While Intrexon believes that its non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating its business, and may be of use to investors, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and are not intended to represent cash flows from operations nor earnings per share under GAAP and should not be used as an alternative to net income or loss as an indicator of operating performance or to represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Intrexon compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share by using them only to supplement the Company's GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA per share have limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Intrexon's results as reported under GAAP.

In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items Intrexon excludes from its non-GAAP financial measure, Intrexon believes it is appropriate to exclude certain items from the definition of Adjusted EBITDA for the following reasons:

  • Interest expense may be subject to changes in interest rates which are beyond Intrexon's control;
  • Depreciation of Intrexon's property and equipment and amortization of acquired identifiable intangibles can be affected by the timing and magnitude of business combinations and capital asset purchases;
  • Stock-based compensation expense is a noncash expense and may vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted and also because the value is determined using formulas which incorporate variables, such as market volatility.
  • Shares issued as compensation for services and bad debt expense are noncash expenses which Intrexon excludes in evaluating its financial and operating performance;
  • Unrealized and realized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of securities which Intrexon holds in its collaborators may be significantly impacted by market volatility and other factors which are outside of the Company's control in the short term and Intrexon intends to hold these securities over the long term except as provided above;
  • Equity in net loss of affiliate reflects Intrexon's proportionate share of the income or loss of entities over which the Company has significant influence, but not control, and accounts for using the equity method of accounting. The Company's acquisition of the license agreement with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was a noncash expense Intrexon incurred to obtain access to specific technologies, which are strategic to the Company. Intrexon believes excluding the impact of such losses or gains on these types of strategic investments from its operating results is important to facilitate comparisons between periods; and
  • Litigation expenses are an estimate of the net amount due, including prejudgment interest, as a result of the final court order from Intrexon's trial with XY, LLC. Intrexon believes it has compelling grounds to overturn the adverse rulings of the court order through appellate action and that, as a result, the amount of the damages could be reduced or eliminated.

Furthermore, supplemental information about the impact of the change in deferred revenue related to upfront and milestone payments is provided below. GAAP requires Intrexon to account for its collaborations as multiple-element arrangements. As a result, the Company initially defers certain collaboration revenues because certain of its performance obligations cannot be separated and must be accounted for as one unit of accounting. The collaboration revenues that Intrexon so defers arise from upfront and milestone payments received from the Company's collaborators, which Intrexon recognizes over the future performance period even though the Company's right to such consideration is neither contingent on the results of Intrexon's future performance nor refundable in the event of nonperformance. The supplemental information about the change in deferred revenue removes the noncash revenue recognized during the period and includes the cash and stock received from collaborators for upfront and milestone payments during the period. Management and the Board of Directors consider this information in evaluating Intrexon's operating performance as they believe it permits the quarterly and annual comparisons of the Company's ability to consummate new collaborations or to achieve significant milestones with existing collaborators.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Intrexon to EBITDA and also to Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA per share, for each of the periods indicated:

Intrexon Corporation and Subsidiaries
Appendix – Reconciliation of redefined non-GAAP measures in prior periods
(Unaudited)

The following table reconciles the revised and previously defined Adjusted EBITDA measures in the current and prior periods. Going forward, the Company will no longer present Adjusted EBITDA based on the previous definition. However, supplemental information about the impact of the change in deferred revenue related to upfront and milestone payments will continue to be provided in future periods. Adjusted EBITDA as previously defined can be calculated by adding the redefined Adjusted EBITDA measure and the impact of the change in deferred revenue related to upfront and milestone payments.
