Financial Results Summary
Three Months Ended December 31, 2011
Total third party revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011, increased $96.7 million, or 6.7%, to $1.53 billion from $1.43 billion in the comparable prior year period. The effect of foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of approximately 1% on total third party revenues primarily reflecting a stronger U.S. Dollar in comparison to the currencies of the other major markets in which Mylan operates. Translating third party revenues for the current quarter at prior year comparative period exchange rates would have resulted in year-over-year growth excluding foreign currency of approximately $115 million, or 8%.
A tabular summary of the Company’s revenues for the three months and years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, is included at the end of this release.
Third party net revenues from Mylan’s Generics segment, which are derived from sales in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (collectively, EMEA) and Australia, India, Japan and New Zealand (collectively, Asia Pacific) were $1.42 billion in the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1.35 billion in the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $72.7 million or 5.4% or an increase of approximately 7% when excluding the unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Third party net revenues from North America were $737.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $647.5 million for the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $89.5 million or 13.8%. The increase in third party revenues was principally due to sales of new products which totaled approximately $71.4 million in the current quarter. The remaining increase was principally due to favorable volumes on existing products. The effect of foreign currency translation was insignificant within North America.
Third party net revenues from EMEA were $347.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $397.0 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $49.6 million, or 12.5%. Translating current quarter third party net revenues from EMEA at prior year comparative period exchange rates would have resulted in a decline in third party net revenues, excluding the effect of foreign currency, of approximately $46 million, or 12%. This decrease was mainly the result of unfavorable pricing and volume in many of the European markets in which Mylan operates, partially offset by new product launches and higher local currency revenues in Italy and Spain.
Third party net revenues in Asia Pacific were $337.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $305.1 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $32.8 million, or 10.8%. Foreign currency translation had a negative impact on sales for the current quarter. Excluding the effect of foreign currency, calculated as described above, the increase was approximately $47 million, or 16%. This increase is primarily driven by higher third party sales from Mylan Laboratories Limited (formerly Matrix Laboratories Limited), Mylan’s subsidiary in India, an increase in third party sales in Japan, as well as new product launches, mainly in Australia.
For the three months ended December 31, 2011, Mylan’s Specialty segment reported third party net revenues of $104.7 million, an increase of $29.7 million, or 39.7%, from the comparable prior year period of $75.0 million. The most significant contributor to Specialty segment revenues continues to be the EpiPen® Auto-Injector, sales of which increased as a result of both favorable pricing and higher volumes. The EpiPen® Auto-Injector is the number one epinephrine auto-injector for the treatment of severe allergic reactions and maintains a market share in excess of 95% in the United States.
Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $644.6 million and gross margins were 42.1%. In the comparable prior year period, gross profit was $579.2 million, and gross margins were 40.4%. Gross profit for the current and prior year periods were impacted by certain purchase accounting and other special items of approximately $87.6 million and $94.4 million, respectively, which consisted primarily of amortization related to purchased intangible assets. Excluding such items, gross margins would have been approximately 48% and 47%, respectively. The increase in gross margins was primarily the result of new product introductions in North America and favorable pricing on the EpiPen® Auto-Injector.
Earnings from operations were $247.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to $94.2 million for the comparable prior year period. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting and other special items in both periods, as mentioned above, as well as charges for litigation settlements, net, of $20.1 million and $112.8 million for the current and prior year periods, earnings from operations increased to $355.1 million in the current quarter from $301.4 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was driven by higher gross profit in the current year, mainly as a result of the increase in revenues and gross margins as discussed above, partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative costs (SG&A).
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011, totaled $81.1 million, compared to $91.5 million for the comparable prior year period. Included in interest expense for the current quarter and the comparable prior year period are $13.0 million and $18.0 million, respectively, primarily related to the amortization of the discounts on our convertible debt instruments and 2018 Senior Notes, net of amortization of the premium on our 2020 Senior Notes.
Other (expense) income, net, was expense of $37.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to expense of $4.8 million in the comparable prior year period. Generally included in other (expense) income, net, are foreign exchange gains and losses and interest and dividend income. Additionally, included in the current period are charges associated with the termination of certain interest rate swaps totaling $13.9 million and the write-off of previously deferred financing fees of $20.1 million related to the refinancing of our senior credit facility which occurred in November 2011.
EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss) (excluding the non-controlling interest and income from equity method investees) plus income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, was $334.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, and $211.8 million for the comparable prior year period. After adjusting for certain items as further detailed below, adjusted EBITDA was $406.6 million for the current quarter and $373.2 million for the comparable prior year period.
Year Ended December 31, 2011
For the year ended December 31, 2011, Mylan reported total revenues of $6.13 billion compared to $5.45 billion in the prior year, representing an increase of $679.3 million, or 12.5%. Revenues were favorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation, generally reflecting a weaker U.S. Dollar as compared to the currencies in other major markets in which Mylan operates. Translating third party revenues at prior year exchange rates would have resulted in year-over-year growth excluding foreign currency of $557 million, or 10%.
Generics third party net revenues were $5.56 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $4.98 billion in the prior year, representing an increase of $577.4 million or 11.6% or an increase of approximately 9% when excluding the favorable effect of foreign currency translation.
Third party net revenues from North America were $2.86 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $2.36 billion for the prior year, representing an increase of $496.1 million, or 21.0%. The increase in third party revenues was principally due to sales of new products and to a lesser extent, incremental revenue from the acquisition of Bioniche Pharma in September 2010, which together totaled approximately $427.9 million in the current year. New product revenue in 2011 was generated through approximately 50 new products in North America during 2011. The effect of foreign currency translation was insignificant within North America.
Third party net revenues from EMEA were $1.47 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1.55 billion for the prior year, a decrease of $79.9 million, or 5.2%. Translating current year third party net revenues from EMEA at prior year exchange rates would result in a decrease excluding the effect of foreign currency translations of approximately $146 million, or 9%. This decrease was mainly the result of unfavorable pricing and volume in many of the European markets in which Mylan operates, partially offset by new product launches throughout EMEA and a strong performance in Italy as a result of increased market penetration and successful product launches. Our growth in Italy outpaced the market in terms of both volume and sales value.
In Asia Pacific, third party net revenues were $1.24 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $1.07 billion for the prior year, an increase of $161.2 million, or 15.0%. However, excluding the favorable effect of foreign currency translation, calculated as described above, the increase was approximately $113 million, or 11%. This increase is primarily driven by higher third party sales of anti-retroviral finished dosage form generic products, which are used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and active pharmaceutical ingredients by Mylan Laboratories Limited. Additionally, third party net revenues in Japan increased in 2011 as a result of favorable volumes.
Specialty reported third party net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $547.4 million, an increase of $124.6 million, or 29.5% over the prior year of $422.8 million. The increase was the result of favorable pricing and higher volumes of Dey’s EpiPen Auto-Injector, and higher sales volumes of Perforomist® Solution, Dey’s Formoterol Fumarate Inhalation Solution.
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $2.56 billion and gross margins were 41.8%. For the prior year, gross profit was $2.22 billion, and gross margins were 40.7%. Gross profit for both the current and prior years is impacted by certain purchase accounting and other special items as discussed above, of approximately $373.2 million, and $315.9 million, respectively. Excluding such items, gross margins would have been approximately 48% in the current year and 47% in the prior year.
Earnings from operations were $1.01 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $721.6 million for the prior year. Excluding the impact of purchase accounting and other special items in both periods, as mentioned above, as well as charges for litigation settlements, net, of $48.6 million and $127.1 million for the current and prior years, earnings from operations increased to $1.43 billion in the current year from $1.16 billion in the prior year. The increase in operating income was driven by the increase in revenues and gross margin as discussed above; partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $335.9 million, compared to $331.5 million in the prior year. Included in interest expense for the current year and the prior year are $49.8 million and $60.0 million primarily related to the amortization of the discounts on our convertible debt instruments and the 2018 Senior Notes, net of amortization of the premium on our 2020 Senior Notes.
Other (expense) income, net, was expense of $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to expense of $34.2 million in the prior year.
EBITDA was $1.50 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011, and $1.12 billion in the prior year. After adjusting for certain items as further discussed below, adjusted EBITDA was $1.68 billion for the current year, versus $1.40 billion for the prior year, representing a 20% increase from the prior year driven by revenue growth and gross margin expansion as discussed above.
Cash Flow and Leverage Ratio
Adjusted cash provided by operating activities was $882 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $781 million for the prior year. The increase in adjusted cash provided by operating activities was the result of an increase in profitability and focus on working capital in 2011. On a GAAP basis, cash provided by operating activities was $720 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $931 million for the prior year. Capital expenditures were approximately $280 million in the current year as compared to approximately $193 million in the prior year. The increase is the result of our previously announced planned expansions and integration plans.
Mylan’s leverage ratio, defined as total notional debt to adjusted EBITDA, was approximately 2.9:1 at December 31, 2011 as compared to 3.7:1 at December 31, 2010.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Mylan is disclosing non-GAAP financial measures when providing financial results. Primarily due to acquisitions, Mylan believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). In addition to disclosing its financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, Mylan is disclosing non-GAAP results that exclude items such as amortization expense and other costs directly associated with the acquisitions as well as certain other expense, revenue and operating cash flow items in order to supplement investors’ and other readers’ understanding and assessment of the company’s financial performance, because the company’s management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. In addition, the company believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA and our leverage ratio pursuant to our credit agreement is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate the company’s ability to comply with financial debt covenants (which are calculated using a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA) and assess the company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness. Whenever Mylan uses such a non-GAAP measure, it will provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most closely applicable GAAP measure set forth below and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
