INSYS Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results
PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - November 11, 2014) - Insys Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSY) today announced its financial results for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2014. Third quarter 2014 highlights include:
- Total net revenue increased to $58.3 million versus $29.2 million for the third quarter of 2013;
- Revenues from Subsys® (fentanyl sublingual spray) were $58.2 million, up 105% compared with third quarter 2013 sales of $28.4 million;
- Net income increased to $11.5 million, or $0.33 per basic and $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.6 million, or $0.36 per basic and $0.34 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013;
- Non-GAAP adjusted net income grew to $0.63 per diluted share compared to $0.39 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2013; and,
- Cash, cash equivalents and investments increased by $14.2 million to $89.5 million as of September 30, 2014, compared to $75.3 million as of June 30, 2014.
"We are pleased to report another strong quarter, in which our revenue and gross profit doubled largely driven by the continued, successful execution of our Subsys strategy," said Michael L. Babich, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We also made significant strides on multiple research and development programs. We are excited to advance four of these programs into late-stage clinical trials in 2015.
"Specifically, we will initiate pivotal Phase III clinical trials with three of our spray candidates: buprenorphine spray for acute pain, buprenorphine/ naloxone spray to treat opioid dependence, and ondansetron spray to treat nausea and vomiting. These three candidates address multi-billion dollar markets in which we believe patients' needs could be better served through easy-to-administer, rapid-onset treatment via our proprietary delivery technology.
"We will also advance our pharmaceutical cannabidiol (CBD) candidate to treat Dravet Syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, two of the four indications for which it has U.S. Orphan Drug Designation. Following a Phase I dose-ranging study, we will initiate a Phase III clinical trial in Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet patients in 2015," Babich concluded.
Third Quarter 2014 Financial Results
Total net revenue for the third quarter of 2014 was $58.3 million compared to $29.2 million for the third quarter of 2013, an increase of 100%. A summary of total revenue is outlined below (in millions):
Three Months Ended
September 30, Increase
2014 2013 (Decrease)
---------- ---------- ----------
Product sales, net
Subsys $ 58.2 $ 28.4 $ 29.8
Dronabinol SG Capsule 0.1 0.8 (0.7)
---------- ---------- ----------
Total net revenue $ 58.3 $ 29.2 $ 29.1
Gross margin was 90.8% for the third quarter of 2014 compared with 89.4% for the third quarter of 2013. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to a recent price increase taken for Subsys.
Sales and marketing expense was $15.1 million during the third quarter of 2014, compared to $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2013. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expense decreased to 25.8% as compared with 27.3% in the third quarter of 2013.
Research and development expense increased to $7.0 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2013, primarily as a result of a pipeline development investment during 2014.
General and administrative expense increased to $10.8 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, primarily resulting from costs incurred in connection with various legal matters.
Income tax expense was $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared with $0.5 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting an effective corporate tax rate of 42.7%.
Net income for the third quarter of 2014 was $11.5 million, or $0.33 per basic and $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $11.6 million, or $0.36 per basic and $0.34 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2013.

Subsequent Events
Pipeline Developments
- Insys received DEA approval to manufacture synthetically its CBD and was granted a quota to produce 15kg of CBD in 2014. The company expects a larger quota in 2015 for its continued clinical studies.
- Insys received a Refusal to File Letter from the FDA for its proprietary Dronabinol Oral Solution because it provided an incomplete pediatric study plan in its NDA submission. The Company subsequently submitted the pediatric study plan to the FDA. The Company intends to discuss the plan with the FDA, and to resubmit the NDA to the FDA thereafter.
- Insys filed an IND for its buprenorphine/naloxone for opioid dependence sublingual spray candidate in October 2014. This IND was cleared by the FDA in early November.
- Insys remains on track to file INDs for ondansetron sublingual spray to treat nausea and vomiting and CBD to treat Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome and Dravet Syndrome in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting all financial information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Insys is also reporting Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share, which are non-GAAP financial measures. Since Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share are not GAAP financial measures, they should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for consolidated income statements and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Insys' definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. For a full reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income to GAAP net income, please see the attachments to this earnings release.
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, is calculated as follows:
Net income, plus:
- Interest income (expense), net
- Provision for income taxes
- Depreciation and amortization
- Non-cash stock compensation expense
The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA can be a meaningful indicator, to both Company management and investors, of the past and expected ongoing operating performance of the Company. EBITDA is a commonly used and widely accepted measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is deemed by the Company to be a useful performance indicator because it includes an add-back of non-cash operating expenses that may be subject to uncontrollable factors not reflective of the Company's true operational performance.
Adjusted net income, as defined by the Company, is calculated as follows:
Net income:
- Plus, the recorded provision for income taxes
- Plus, non-cash expenses, such as stock compensation expense and non-cash interest
- Minus, an estimated cash tax provision, net of the benefit from utilizing NOL carry-forwards.
Adjusted net income per diluted share is equal to Adjusted net income divided by the diluted share count for the applicable period.
The Company believes that Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted shares are meaningful financial indicators, to both Company management and investors, in that they exclude non-cash income and expense items.
While the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share in managing and analyzing its business and financial condition and believes these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful to investors in evaluating the Company's performance, each of these financial measures has certain shortcomings. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account the impact of capital expenditures on either the liquidity or the GAAP financial performance of the Company and likewise omits share-based compensation expenses, which may vary over time and may represent a material portion of overall compensation expense. Adjusted net income does not take into account non-cash expenses that reflect the amortization of past expenditures, or include stock-based compensation, which is an important and material element of the Company's compensation package for its directors, officers and other key employees. As a result of the inherent limitations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company's management utilizes comparable GAAP financial measures to evaluate the business in conjunction with Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted share and encourages investors to do likewise.
