Impax Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Financial Results

-- Provides 2017 Financial Guidance --

FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Impax Laboratories, Inc. IPXL, a specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2016.

Fourth Quarter 2016

Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2016 decreased 29.7% to $198.4 million, compared to $282.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to increased competition and/or lower pricing on generic diclofenac sodium gel 3%, metaxalone, fenofibrate and mixed amphetamine salts ER. The decline was partially offset by the addition of products acquired from Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and affiliates of Allergan plc (the "Teva Transaction") in August 2016; higher sales of epinephrine auto-injector, oxymorphone ER, Rytary^® and Albenza^®; and the addition of sales from the March 2016 launch of Emverm^®.
On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded a per share loss of $3.91 in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to income of $0.16 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2015. The fourth quarter of 2016 includes non-cash intangible asset impairment charges of $253.9 million due to competition, net price reductions and product discontinuations primarily related to certain products acquired in the Company's acquisition of Tower Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries in March 2015 (the "Tower Acquisition").
Adjusted diluted earnings per share ("adjusted EPS") for the fourth quarter of 2016 were $0.16, compared to $0.62 in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decline was due primarily to lower generic product sales, as noted above. Refer to the attached "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP items.

Full Year 2016

Total revenues in 2016 decreased 4.2% to $824.4 million, compared to $860.5 million in 2015, due primarily to lower generic product sales as a result of increased competition and/or lower pricing, as noted above.
On a GAAP basis, the Company recorded a per share loss of $6.63 in 2016, compared to income of $0.54 per diluted share in 2015. The GAAP results for 2016 include non-cash intangible asset impairment charges of $541.6 million related to certain products acquired in the Teva Transaction and the Tower Acquisition.
Adjusted EPS in 2016 were $1.16, compared to $1.45 in 2015, due primarily to lower generic product sales, as noted above. Refer to the attached "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP items.

"During 2016, a number of our generic products faced aggressive competition and pricing pressure, which impacted our revenue and profitability. As we enter 2017, we expect these headwinds to persist and weigh on our results through the year," said Kevin Buchi, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Impax. "We continue to pursue opportunities to help offset these challenges by continuing the growth of our Specialty Pharma division, growing our share within key generic product markets, bringing new generic products to market and further reducing our cost base."

Mr. Buchi continued, "Over the past couple years, we have taken steps in an effort to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, which we expect to produce annual savings of between $40 million and $50 million by 2018. Additionally, we have undertaken a thorough review of our product portfolio and cost structure with the objective of identifying incremental operational improvements which will allow us to reduce our debt and invest in growth initiatives. The actions we are taking are designed to enable us to deliver meaningful benefits to patients and long-term value to stockholders."

The Company has two reportable segments, the Impax Generics division (generic products and services) and the Impax Specialty Pharma division (brand products and services) and does not allocate general corporate services to either segment.

Fourth Quarter 2016

Total revenues for the Impax Generics division in the fourth quarter of 2016 were $139.2 million, a decrease of 38.6%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period was due primarily to decreased sales of diclofenac gel, metaxalone, fenofibrate and mixed amphetamine salts ER as a result of increased competition and/or pricing pressure. These decreases were partially offset by sales of products acquired as part of the Teva Transaction and by an increase in sales of epinephrine auto-injector and oxymorphone ER in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2016 was negative 126.7%, compared to gross margin of 33.7% in the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to impairment charges of $206.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2016 on certain products as a result of competition, lower pricing and product discontinuations, as noted above.

Adjusted gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 32.8%, compared to 40.5% in the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to increased competition on a number of generic products.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2016 were $35.6 million, an increase of 4.3%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was due primarily to intangible asset impairment charges of $11.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2016 as a result of delays in the expected start of commercialization and/or lower anticipated pricing of certain products amid highly competitive market conditions and increased research and development expenses, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Full Year 2016

Total revenues for the Impax Generics division in 2016 were $606.3 million, a decrease of 14.7%, compared to 2015. The decrease in revenues from 2015 was due primarily to lower sales of diclofenac gel, metaxalone, fenofibrate and mixed amphetamine salts ER as a result of increased competition and/or pricing pressure. These decreases were partially offset by sales of products acquired as part of the Teva Transaction and an increase in sales and share position of epinephrine auto-injector and oxymorphone ER in 2016 compared to the prior year.

Gross margin in 2016 was negative 45.4%, compared to 36.7% in 2015, due primarily to impairment charges during 2016 of $464.3 million on certain products as a result of competition, pricing pressures and product discontinuations, as noted above.

Adjusted gross margin in 2016 was 39.3%, compared to 42.6% in 2015, due primarily to increased competition and pricing pressure on a number of products.

Total operating expenses in 2016 were $111.1 million, an increase of 21.5%, compared to 2015, largely due to $27.8 million of intangible asset impairment charges, as noted above.

Fourth Quarter 2016

Total revenues for the Impax Specialty Pharma division in the fourth quarter of 2016 were $59.2 million, an increase of 7.1%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase is due primarily to higher sales of Rytary and Albenza, and the addition of sales from the March 2016 launch of Emverm, for which there was no comparable amount in the prior year period, partially offset by lower sales of Zomig^® nasal spray.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 25.7%, compared to 69.5% in the fourth quarter of 2015, due to an impairment charge of $24.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2016 for Emverm, for which there was no comparable charge during the prior year period.

Adjusted gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 79.3%, compared to 83.6% in the fourth quarter of 2015, due to product sales mix.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2016 were $32.7 million, an increase of 67.3%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to the prior year period was driven primarily by in-process research and development impairment charges of $12.0 million relating to the Company's decision to cease development on a next generation version of Albenza and increased selling, general and administrative expense as a result of the sales force expansion to support sales and marketing activities for Rytary.

Full Year 2016

Total revenues for the Impax Specialty Pharma division in 2016 were $218.1 million, an increase of 45.9% compared to 2015, due primarily to higher sales of Rytary and Albenza and the addition of sales from the March 2016 launch of Emverm, for which there was no comparable amount in the prior year period.

Gross margin in 2016 was 56.9%, compared to 61.2% in 2015, due to impairment charges of $24.3 million as noted above, for which there were no comparable charges in the prior year.

Adjusted gross margin in 2016 was 80.0%, compared to 81.2% in 2015.

Total operating expenses in 2016 were $112.1 million, an increase of 55.3% compared to 2015, due primarily to impairment charges of $25.2 million in 2016 related to the Company's decision to cease development on a next generation version of Albenza, increased selling, general and administrative expense as a result of the sales force expansion and higher patent litigation expenses.

Fourth Quarter 2016

General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2016 were $34.4 million, an increase of 13.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase was principally driven by costs related to the separation of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer in December 2016, as well as higher litigation expenses, partially offset by lower transaction and integration expenses incurred related to the Tower Acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2015.

Interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $13.6 million, an increase of 66.3% million compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, which increase was entirely attributable to the $400.0 million Term Loan Facility entered into by the Company in August 2016 to finance the Teva Transaction.

Full Year 2016

General and administrative expenses in 2016 were $119.9 million, a slight increase over 2015.

Interest expense in 2016 was $41.4 million, an increase of 52.0% compared to 2015, which increase was primarily attributable to the financing of the Teva Transaction, as noted above.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $180.1 million as of December 31, 2016, compared to $340.4 million as of December 31, 2015, due primarily to cash used to partially finance the Teva Transaction.

On February 28, 2017, the Company made a voluntarily prepayment in the amount of $50.3 million under its term loan facility with Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and the lender parties thereto, representing $50.0 million of principal and $0.3 million of accrued interest. Following the prepayment, the Company's outstanding balance under the term loan facility decreased to $345.0 million.

2017 Financial Guidance

The Company's full year 2017 estimates are based on management's current expectations, including with respect to prescription trends, pricing levels, inventory levels, and the anticipated timing of future product launches and events.

The Company does not provide forward-looking guidance metrics as outlined below on a GAAP basis as certain financial information, such as restructuring and impairment charges and other items used to determine such measures are not available and cannot be reasonably estimated. The following statements are forward looking and actual results could differ materially depending on market conditions and the factors set forth under "Safe Harbor" below.

The Company is not providing 2017 guidance estimates for total Company revenues or earnings per share due to ongoing revenue volatility within the Company's Generics division as a result of increased competition and the continued impact of lower pricing; pricing erosion is expected to be in the high single to low double-digit range in 2017. As a result of these events and excluding the impact from significant new product approvals and launches that may occur in 2017, the Company expects its Generics division revenues to decline in 2017 compared to 2016.

Adjusted gross margins as a percent of total revenue are expected to be approximately 47% to 49%.
Adjusted research and development expenses, including patent litigation expenses, across the generic and brand divisions of approximately $90 million to $95 million.
Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $190 million to $195 million.
Adjusted interest expense of approximately $30 million.
Capital expenditures of approximately $25 million to $30 million.
Effective tax rate of approximately 34% to 35%.

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) income, GAAP net (loss) income 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(a)	For 2016, reflects amortization of intangible assets from the portfolio of generic products acquired in the Teva Transaction in August 2016 and the amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Tower Acquisition in March 2015. For 2015, reflects the amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the Tower Acquisition.
(b)	Related to non-cash accretion of debt discount attributable to deferred financing costs associated with the $400.0 million term loan facility to finance the Teva Transaction, the $435.0 million term loan with Barclays (subsequently repaid in 2015) and the $600.0 million of outstanding 2% convertible senior notes and bifurcation of the conversion option of the convertible notes.
(c)	Professional fees related to business development activities, primarily the Teva Transaction for 2016 and the Tower Acquisition and related integration activities for 2015.
(d)	During 2016, the Company recognized a total of $541.6 million in intangible asset impairment charges, of which $488.6 million was recognized in cost of revenues impairment charges and $53.0 million was recognized in in-process research and development ("IPR&D") charges. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a total of $253.9 million of intangible asset impairment charges, of which $230.6 million was recognized in cost of revenues impairment charges and $23.3 million was recognized in IPR&D charges. Of the total impairment charges the Company incurred in 2016, $308.4 million of such charges related to certain intangible assets acquired as part of the Teva Transaction. Upon closing the Teva Transaction on August 3, 2016, the Company initiated the process of transferring and securing Teva's and Allergan's customers for the acquired products to its account. The Company assumed certain price concessions would occur following the closing. However, it elected to take additional price reductions on certain of the acquired products in order to retain key customers. These reductions produced significantly lower than expected operating cash flows from the acquired product lines and triggered an impairment charge of $251.0 million during the third quarter of 2016. The Company experienced even further price reductions on certain of the products acquired in the Teva Transaction during the fourth quarter of 2016, which resulted in $57.4 million of additional intangible asset impairment charges. During 2016, the Company also incurred other non-cash impairment charges primarily related to the products acquired from the Tower Acquisition, totaling $233.2 million. These impairment charges arose primarily due to increased competition, price degradation, product discontinuations and delays in expected product launches. The largest intangible asset impairment charge related to products acquired in the Tower Acquisition was for the epinephrine auto-injector product, which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2016 and accounted for more than half of the $233.2 million in charges. The impairment charge on the epinephrine auto-injector product was triggered by current and projected price degradation as a result of unexpected changes in the pricing environment and additional competition. Impairment charges incurred during 2015 related to deteriorating market conditions for a small number of marketed products and delayed development on one IPR&D product acquired in the Tower Acquisition, of which $7.3 million was recognized in cost of revenues impairment charges and $6.4 million was recognized in IPR&D impairment charges.
(e)	The Company recorded a reserve in the amount of $48.0 million during the first quarter of 2016, representing the full amount of the estimated receivable due from Turing Pharmaceuticals AG as a result of the uncertainty of the Company collecting the reimbursement amounts owed by Turing related to the Company's sale of Daraprim^® to Turing as described in note (j) below. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company received $7.7 million in payments from Turing, which reduced the reserve balance to $40.3 million as of December 31, 2016.
(f)	Legal fees incurred as a result of the Company's litigation against Turing alleging breach of the terms of the Turing Asset Purchase Agreement in the Company's sale of Daraprim^® as described in note (j) below for Turing's failure to reimburse the Company for chargebacks and Medicaid rebate liability.
(g)	During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded restructuring and severance charges of $6.6 million related to the March 2016 announced closure of the Company's Middlesex, New Jersey manufacturing and packaging site and a related reduction in workforce at the site, a charge of $5.4 million associated with the separation of the Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in December 2016 and a $0.2 million adjustment related to the closing of the Company's packaging and distribution facilities in Pennsylvania. For the full year 2016, the Company recorded an additional $12.2 million of restructuring and severance charges related to the Middlesex facility. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded restructuring and severance charges of $0.5 million related to the closing of the Pennsylvania facility, a charge of $1.2 million for a reduction in force in technical operations and research and development groups in Hayward, California, and a charge of $1.2 million for costs associated with the Tower Acquisition. For the full year 2015, the Company recorded additional restructuring and severance charges of $5.4 million related to the closing of the Pennsylvania facility and $2.4 million of costs associated with the Tower Acquisition.
(h)	The Company recorded $1.6 million of fixed asset impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2016 primarily related to equipment no longer in use at its Hayward manufacturing facility.
(i)	Reflects lease termination costs related to the Company's consolidation of its three Pennsylvania locations into a new leased facility in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania during 2016.
(j)	In July 2015, the Company received an unsolicited offer from Turing Pharmaceuticals AG to purchase the U.S. rights to Daraprim^®, one of the intangible assets acquired in the Tower Acquisition, as well as the active pharmaceutical ingredient for the product and the finished goods inventory on hand. The sale closed in August 2015, pursuant to which the Company received proceeds of $55.5 million at closing. The carrying value of the Daraprim rights at the time of the closing was $9.3 million. The Company recognized a gain on sale of intangible asset of $45.6 million, net of expenses. As the inventory was sold at cost, there was no gain or loss recognized.
(k)	Loss on the extinguishment and repayment of the $435.0 million term loan with Barclays Bank PLC due to the write-off of $16.9 million of deferred financing costs.
(l)	The Company recognized $13.0 million of expense related to the net change in the fair value of its derivative instruments from June 30, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
(m)	Remediation costs related to the Hayward, California manufacturing facility.
(n)	Fair value adjustment of inventory as a result of purchase accounting for the Tower Acquisition.
(o)	Fees incurred relating to the Company's $435.0 million term loan with Barclays Bank PLC to lock in the financing terms beginning from the lenders' commitment of the term loan to the actual allocation of the term loan upon the closing of the Tower transaction. The term loan was subsequently terminated by the Company on June 30, 2015.
(p)	During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recorded charges totaling $1.1 million related to the change in the fair value of a contingent consideration due to Teva pursuant to the termination agreement with Teva whereby Teva returned to the Company its full commercial rights to its pending ANDA for methylphenidate hydrochloride and a milestone payment to a third party partner under the terms of a research and development agreement, partially offset by a lower tax related payment of $0.4 million to former stockholders of Tower than previously estimated at the closing of the Tower Acquisition. Charges in 2015 reflect costs incurred for an engineering study related to the Company's planned construction on one of the Company's buildings, which was expensed when a determination was made that construction would not proceed.
(q)	Adjusted income taxes are calculated by tax effecting adjusted pre-tax income at the applicable effective tax rate that will be determined by reference to statutory tax rates in the relevant jurisdiction in which the Company operates and includes current and deferred income tax expense commensurate with the non-GAAP measure of profitability.
