Akorn Provides First Quarter 2020 Results

LAKE FOREST, Ill., May 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Akorn, Inc. (AKRX), a leading specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2020.

First Quarter 2020 Results and Recent Developments

• Net revenue was $205 million, up $39 million, 23% from the prior year quarter

• Net loss was $257 million, compared to $82 million loss in the prior year quarter

• Adjusted EBITDA was $59 million, compared to $23 million in the prior year quarter

• Discussions with lenders regarding the sale process and Chapter 11 filing are on-going

• Received Establishment Inspection Report (EIR) and Voluntary Action Indicated (VAI) status for February 2020 inspection of Akorn’s Hettlingen, Switzerland manufacturing facility

Summary Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2020

Akorn's reported net revenue was $204.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, representing an increase of $38.8 million, or 23.4%, as compared to net revenue of $165.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net revenue in the period was primarily due to increases of $23.0 million, $9.0 million, and $6.8 million in discontinued products revenue, organic revenue and new products, respectively. The $23.0 million increase in discontinued products revenue was primarily driven by an unapproved product that has since been discontinued. The $9.0 million increase in organic revenue was due to approximately $21.6 million, or 14.2% of favorable price variance primarily due to 2019 price increases on certain exclusive products partially offset by $12.5 million, or 8.2% in volume decline principally due to lower sales of Myorisan^®_.

Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, was $94.5 million, or 46.2% of net revenue, compared to $53.5 million, or 32.3% of net revenue, in the corresponding prior year quarter. The increase in the gross profit percentage was principally due to decreased costs associated with FDA compliance related improvement activities, favorable price and product mix, including the sale of an unapproved product that has since been discontinued.

GAAP net (loss) for the first quarter of 2020, was $(256.7) million, or $(2.01) per diluted share, compared to GAAP net (loss) of $(82.2) million, or $(0.65) per diluted share, for the same quarter of 2019. After a net adjustment of $302 million to net income for non-GAAP items, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2020 was $0.36, compared to $0.01 in the same quarter of 2019, after a net adjustment of $84 million to net income for non-GAAP items. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $(241.9) million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $(47.7) million for the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the performance of the Akorn business, was $58.6 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $23.4 million for the first quarter of 2019. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

To supplement Akorn’s financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses certain non-GAAP (also referred to as “adjusted” or “non-GAAP adjusted”) financial measures in this press release and the accompanying tables, including (1) EBITDA, (2) adjusted EBITDA, (3) adjusted net income, (4) adjusted diluted earnings per share, (5) net debt, and (6) net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio. These non-GAAP measures adjust for certain specified items that are described in this release. The Company believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures is helpful in understanding its past financial performance and potential future results. The non-GAAP financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to comparable GAAP measures.

Akorn’s management uses these measures in analyzing its business and financial condition. Akorn’s management believes that the presentation of these and other non-GAAP financial measures provide investors greater transparency into Akorn’s ongoing results of operations allowing investors to better compare the Company’s results from period to period.

Investors should note that these non-GAAP financial measures used to present financial guidance are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company’s results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Investors should also note that these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and; therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. In addition, from time-to-time in the future there may be other items that the Company may exclude for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures; likewise, the Company may in the future cease to exclude items that it has historically excluded for purposes of its non-GAAP financial measures. Because of the non-standardized definitions, the non-GAAP financial measures as used by Akorn in this press release and the accompanying tables may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by the Company’s competitors and other companies.

Set forth below is the definition of each non-GAAP financial measure as used by the Company in this press release and a full reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA, as defined by the Company, represents net loss before net interest expense, (benefit) provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, is calculated as follows:

Net (loss), (minus) plus:

Interest (expense), net
(Benefit) provision for income taxes
Depreciation and amortization
Non-cash expenses, such as impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangible assets, impairment of fixed assets and other, gain on disposal of fixed assets, share-based compensation expense, and amortization of deferred financing costs
Other adjustments, such as legal settlements and various merger and acquisition-related expenses, employee retention and other compensation, legal and financial advisory fees, data integrity investigations & assessment, India costs (excluding depreciation and interest), FDA compliance related expenses, other settlements and fees and Fresenius transaction & Securities Class Action Litigation.

Adjusted EBITDA is deemed by the Company to be a useful performance indicator because it includes an add back of non-cash or non-recurring operating expenses that have no impact on continuing cash flows as well as other items that are not expected to recur and therefore are not reflective of continuing operating performance.

Adjusted net income, as defined by the Company, is calculated as follows:

Net (loss), (minus) plus:

Amortization expense
Non-cash expenses, such as impairment of goodwill, impairment of intangible assets, impairment of fixed assets and other, gain on disposal of fixed assets, share-based compensation expense, and amortization of deferred financing costs
Other adjustments, such as merger and acquisition-related expenses, employee retention and other compensation, legal and financial advisory fees, data integrity investigations & assessment, India costs (excluding depreciation and interest), FDA compliance related expenses, other settlements and fees and Fresenius transaction & Securities Class Action Litigation
Less an estimated tax (benefit) provision, net of the benefit from utilizing net operating loss carry-forwards effected for the adjustments noted above.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share, as defined by the Company, is equal to adjusted net income (loss) divided by the actual or anticipated diluted share count for the applicable period. The Company believes that adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are meaningful financial indicators, to both Company management and investors, in that they exclude non-cash income and expense items that have no impact on current or future cash flows, as well as other income and expense items that are not expected to recur and therefore are not reflective of continuing operating performance.

Net debt, as defined by the Company, is gross debt including Akorn’s term loan less cash and cash equivalents.

Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, as defined by the Company, is net debt divided by the trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA.

The shortcomings of non-GAAP financial measures as guidance or performance measures are that they provide a view of the Company’s results of operations without including all events during a period. For example, adjusted EBITDA does not take into account the impact of capital expenditures on either the liquidity or the 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 (loss) does not take into account non-cash expenses that reflect the amortization of past expenditures, or include share-based compensation, which is an important and material element of the Company's compensation package for its directors, officers and other key employees. Due to the inherent limitations of non-GAAP financial measures, investors 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. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures as presented in this press release.
