BAUDETTE, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANIP) (ANI or the Company) today announced business highlights and financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

“Second quarter net revenues of $73.9 million represent a new quarterly record for the Company, driven by the first full quarter of Purified Cortrophin Gel sales and growth in generic pharmaceuticals revenues. We continue to see acceleration in the number of patients treated with Cortrophin. We are pleased to see over 250 prescribers, including both prescribers experienced with ACTH therapy and first-time prescribers. In addition, we have made meaningful progress on expanding access for Cortrophin to approximately 134 million lives, including a recent positive coverage decision by United Healthcare’s commercial and managed Medicaid plans,” said Nikhil Lalwani, President and CEO of ANI.

“Our generics business unit remains focused on bringing new products to patients and customers, and I’m proud to share that ANI is now ranked sixth among all companies in terms of number of ANDA approvals received in the past 12 months. In addition, we continued to drive cost competitiveness by consolidating our manufacturing network and realizing further operational efficiencies. Overall, we believe that ANI is well positioned for sustainable growth and continuing to serve patients in need,” concluded Lalwani.

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:

  • Net revenues were $73.9 million compared to $48.6 million in Q2 2021.
  • GAAP net loss available to common shareholders was $(15.3) million, and diluted GAAP loss per share was $(0.94).
  • Adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA was $9.9 million compared to $13.1 million in Q2 2021.
  • Adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.13, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.67 in Q2 2021.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $63.4 million, net accounts receivable was $150.4 million, and face value of debt was $298.5 million as of June 30, 2022.

Cortrophin Launch Update:

The Company raises its revenue guidance for Cortrophin to be in the range of $40 million to $45 million from its previous guidance of $35 million to $40 million.

Key highlights (as of August 5, 2022):

  • Launch Trajectory: Since the Company’s last earnings report, new patient cases initiated have doubled. As of August 5, approximately 500 new cases have been initiated. The Company is also seeing meaningful improvement across conversion rates from enrollment to fulfillment. The Company has continued to strengthen its infrastructure, including expansion of its hub, patient support services and distribution network.
  • Physician Interest: The prescriber base has also doubled to more than 250 unique prescribers as of August 5. Approximately one third of the prescribers have written multiple prescriptions. Prescriptions continue to be distributed across our targeted specialties.
  • Patient Access: Our consistent efforts to bring savings to the healthcare system have resulted in expanded market access with over 134 million lives on formulary. Notably, on July 1, Cortrophin was added to the formulary for United Healthcare’s commercial and managed Medicaid plans.

Generics Growth Engine Update:

Sales of generic pharmaceuticals products grew 46% year-over-year in the second quarter. The Company remains focused on growing its new product pipeline and driving cost competitiveness.

  • Focus on R&D Excellence: During the first six months of 2022, ANI has filed 8 ANDAs, and in the second quarter successfully launched multiple limited competition products. ANI is now ranked sixth in terms of ANDA approvals received in the past 12 months.
  • Operational Synergies: During the quarter, the Company announced its intention to consolidate manufacturing operations and cease operations at the Oakville, Ontario, Canada manufacturing. With the additional manufacturing capacity gained as part of the Novitium acquisition, ANI can support future growth and continue serving customers through its remaining facilities. Once fully executed, this operational efficiency is expected to improve profitability and cash flow by $7 million to $8 million on an annualized basis. The Company currently expects one-time cash charges of approximately $3.1 million and non-cash charges of $4.5 million in conjunction with this action.
  • Business Development: The Company continues to be active on the business development front and acquired four limited competition ANDAs from Oakrum Pharma in July. The Company expects to launch these products and see the value unlock in 2023.

Net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products were $49.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 46% compared to $34.2 million for the same period in 2021. The net increase was primarily driven by revenues from commercial generic products acquired in our acquisition of Novitium and increased revenues of Nebivolol, which ANI launched in September 2021, partially offset by a decrease in revenues from sales of several legacy ANI generic products.

Net revenues for branded pharmaceutical products were $8.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of 23% compared to $11.0 million for the same period in 2021. The net decrease was principally due to a decrease in sales of InnoPran XL® and Inderal® XL.

Contract manufacturing revenues were $4.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of 89% compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2021, due to an increase in the volume of orders, primarily related to the addition of Novitium contract manufacturing revenues.

Net revenues of rare disease pharmaceutical products were $10.2 million for the quarter, consisting entirely of sales of Cortrophin Gel. There were no sales of rare disease pharmaceutical products during the comparable prior year period.

Operating expenses increased by 35% to $86.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $64.2 million in the prior year period.

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $13.0 million to $35.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $22.3 million in the prior year period, driven primarily by $7.9 million in costs related to Novitium and $2.0 million related to an increase in the sales of products subject to profit sharing arrangements.

Research and development expenses were $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.4 million from the prior year period due primarily to Novitium-related activities, partially offset by a decrease in expense associated with the completion of our Cortrophin development efforts.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $32.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, or 70%, compared to $18.8 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting a $12.5 million increase in sales and marketing expenses related to our launch of Cortrophin and increased expenses related to the addition of Novitium headcount and activities, partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in transaction expenses related to the Novitium acquisition.

Depreciation and amortization increased by 22% in the second quarter of 2022 to $13.8 million from $11.3 million in the comparable quarter in 2021, primarily due to amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Novitium acquisition.

Net loss available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2022 was $(15.3) million as compared to net loss of $(14.1) million in the prior year period. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $(0.94) compared to diluted loss per share of $(1.17) in the prior year period.

Adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.13 in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $0.67 in the second quarter of 2021.

For reconciliations of adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA and adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see Table 3 and Table 4, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA

ANI’s management considers adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA to be an important financial indicator of ANI’s operating performance, providing investors and analysts with a useful measure of operating results unaffected by non-cash stock-based compensation and differences in capital structures, tax structures, capital investment cycles, ages of related assets, and compensation structures among otherwise comparable companies. Management uses adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA when analyzing Company performance.

Adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA is defined as net (loss)/income, excluding tax expense or benefit, interest expense, (net), other expense, (net), depreciation, amortization, the excess of fair value over cost of acquired inventory, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, Novitium transaction expenses, Cortrophin pre-launch charges, contingent consideration fair value adjustment, and certain other items that vary in frequency and impact on ANI’s results of operations. Adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, net income or loss reported under GAAP. A reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided below.

ANI is not providing a reconciliation for the forward-looking full year 2022 adjusted EBITDA guidance because it does not currently have sufficient information to accurately estimate all of the variables and individual adjustments for such reconciliation, including “with” and “without” tax provision information. As such, ANI’s management cannot estimate on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort the impact these variables and individual adjustments will have on its reported results.

Adjusted non-GAAP Net (Loss)/Income

ANI’s management considers adjusted non-GAAP net (loss)/income to be an important financial indicator of ANI’s operating performance, providing investors and analysts with a useful measure of operating results unaffected by the excess of fair value over cost of acquired inventory sold, non-cash stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization, Cortrophin pre-launch charges, Novitium transaction expenses, contingent consideration fair value adjustment, and certain other items that vary in frequency and impact on ANI’s results of operations. Management uses adjusted non-GAAP net (loss)/income when analyzing Company performance.

Adjusted non-GAAP net (loss)/income is defined as net (loss)/income, plus the excess of fair value over cost of acquired inventory sold, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, Novitium transaction expenses, non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, Cortrophin pre-launch charges, contingent consideration fair value adjustment, and certain other items that vary in frequency and impact on ANI’s results of operations, less the tax impact of these adjustments calculated using an estimated statutory tax rate. Management will continually analyze this metric and may include additional adjustments in the calculation in order to provide further understanding of ANI’s results. Adjusted non-GAAP net (loss)/income should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, net (loss)/income reported under GAAP. A reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP net (loss)/income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided below.

Adjusted non-GAAP Diluted (Loss)/Earnings per Share

ANI’s management considers adjusted non-GAAP diluted (loss)/earnings per share to be an important financial indicator of ANI’s operating performance, providing investors and analysts with a useful measure of operating results unaffected by the excess of fair value over cost of acquired inventory sold, non-cash stock-based compensation, non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization, Cortrophin pre-launch charges, Novitium transaction expenses, contingent consideration fair value adjustment, and certain other items that vary in frequency and impact on ANI’s results of operations. Management uses adjusted non-GAAP diluted (loss)/earnings per share when analyzing Company performance.

Adjusted non-GAAP diluted (loss)/earnings per share is defined as adjusted non-GAAP net (loss)/income, as defined above, divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Management will continually analyze this metric and may include additional adjustments in the calculation in order to provide further understanding of ANI’s results. Adjusted non-GAAP diluted (loss)/earnings per share should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, diluted earnings or loss per share reported under GAAP. A reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP diluted (loss)/earnings per share to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided below.
