2019 Third Quarter Financial Results

  • Cash Position: As of September 30, 2019, Zyla had cash and restricted cash totaling $19.0 million. Cash generated from operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $6.8 million.
  • Net Product Sales: Net product sales were $22.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was largely due to the addition of the five acquired products at the end of January 2019.        
  • Cost of Sales (excluding product rights amortization): Cost of sales was $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was driven by higher product sales as a result of the five new products acquired at the end of January 2019 and the revaluation of inventory in connection with the reorganization.
  • G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was attributable to $0.4 million of higher administrative expense and $0.4 million of higher Food and Drug Administration fees related to products acquired during 2019, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in post-marketing study fees related to ARYMO® ER (morphine sulfate) extended-release tablets for oral use —CII which the Company discontinued in September 2018 and OXAYDO.
  • S&M Expenses: Sales and marketing expenses were $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The $1.4 million increase was primarily attributable to $1.0 million of marketing programs for the acquired products and $0.4 million of other sales and marketing costs.
  • R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were essentially zero for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. This decrease was driven by a discontinuation of R&D programs that did not directly support the growth of Zyla's commercial business.
  • Restructuring and Other Charges: There were no restructuring and other charges during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Restructuring and other charges of $13.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 reflect costs related to the discontinuation of ARYMO ER of $8.2 million, a termination payment to Halo Pharmaceuticals of $3.1 million and legal fees related to the filing of the Company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case of $2.6 million.
  • Interest Expense: Interest expense was $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $32.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 includes non-cash interest and amortization of debt discount totaling $1.8 million. The interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 includes non-cash interest and amortization of debt discount totaling $29.8 million and included the acceleration of the debt discounts due to the revaluation of these instruments due to the events of default.
  • Other Gain: Other gain was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
  • Net Loss: Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $10.3 million compared to a net loss of $51.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
