"We are pleased to report a strong third quarter, with increases over the prior year in revenue, EBITDA, and operating income. We have a compelling product pipeline of 85 drugs that represent over $4.6 billion in IMS sales. Recently, we launched two new generic drugs, Oxycodone and Vancomycin, which will help to expand our growing generic business segment and increased our total currently-marketed products to 14. Our near-term focus is on launching ten additional drugs over the next five quarters. Two of these drugs represent the potential for significant upside to our revenues and EBITDA. Business development activities included a new agreement with IDT Australia to commercialize 18 previously approved drugs and our announcement to acquire two Corticotropin NDAs from Merck. These NDAs have the future potential to be the largest selling drugs in ANI's portfolio."

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, ANI reported net revenues of $20.0 million, an increase of 15% from $17.4 million in the prior year period, due to the following factors:

  • Revenues from sales of generic pharmaceuticals increased 48%, to $15.1 million from $10.2 million in the prior period, primarily due to increased sales of EEMT, as well as sales from Methazolamide, which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2014, and Etodolac and Propafenone, which were launched in the first quarter of 2015.
  • Revenues from sales of branded pharmaceuticals decreased 53%, to $2.3 million from $4.8 million in the prior period, primarily as a result of lower unit sales of Reglan, decreases in unit sales of Lithobid and Vancocin, and increased Medicaid utilization and Medicaid rebates for both Lithobid and Vancocin.
  • Contract manufacturing revenue decreased by 5% to $1.3 million from $1.4 million in the prior year period, primarily as a result of timing of customer orders.
  • Contract services and other revenues increased by 28%, to $1.3 million from $1.0 million, primarily due to royalties received on sales of the authorized generic of Vancocin. In November, the Company launched an authorized generic for Vancocin under its own label, which replaced the authorized generic product previously on the market.

Adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA was $11.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $10.1 million in the prior year period, an increase of 15%. For a reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA to GAAP operating income, please see Table 2. 

Cost of sales decreased as a percentage of net revenues to 16% from 18%, primarily due to a favorable shift in product mix toward the Company's higher-margin products and margin increases for the Company's generic products.

Research and development costs decreased to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $0.9 million in the prior year period. The decrease was due to timing of work on development projects. Major development projects include the ANDAs acquired in 2014 and 2015, Flecainide, and collaborations with partners.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $4.1 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to increased business development activities and increased personnel and compensation costs.
