“ANI had another record quarter, with revenues, adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA, and adjusted non-GAAP net income per diluted share increasing 93%, 41%, and 36%, respectively, as compared to the prior year quarter.

  • Net revenues for 2016 to be between $128 million and $134 million.
  • Reported (US GAAP) diluted EPS to be between $0.60 and $0.75, assuming 11,625 thousand weighted average shares outstanding.

Corticotropin Re-commercialization Update

ANI has assembled a Corticotropin re-commercialization team of scientists and subject matter experts who have extensive experience with the development and manufacturing of animal-derived pharmaceutical products. ANI has also established a laboratory exclusively for Corticotropin analytical method development. The team has already achieved several key milestones, including identifying and initiating the development of analytical methods that will be required to re-commercialize Corticotropin, a critical portion of the sNDA filing. At the same time, ANI has also secured the supply of porcine pituitaries necessary for both small and commercial-scale active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing, which is also pivotal for the re-launch of Corticotropin. Finally, ANI has contracted with an accomplished contract manufacturer and initiated manufacturing of Corticotropin active pharmaceutical ingredient. Due to these efforts, the project is tracking ahead of ANI’s internal timeline. ANI remains dedicated to the re-commercialization of Corticotropin and will provide updates regarding further progress as appropriate.

93%

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, ANI reported net revenues of $38.5 million, an increase of 93% from $20.0 million in the prior year period, due to the following factors:

  • Revenues from sales of generic pharmaceuticals increased 100%, to $30.2 million from $15.1 million in the prior period, primarily due to sales of the ten products launched over the previous twelve months.
  • Revenues from sales of branded pharmaceuticals increased 203%, to $6.8 million from $2.3 million in the prior period, primarily due to sales of Inderal® LA, which was launched in Q2 2016.
  • Contract manufacturing revenue increased by 12% to $1.4 million from $1.3 million in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the timing of customer orders.
  • Contract services and other income decreased by 95%, to $0.1 million from $1.3 million, primarily because sales of Vancomycin in the ANI label have replaced the royalties previously received on the product.

Operating expenses increased to $30.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, from $11.5 million in the prior year period.
