Taro Provides Results for September 30, 2022

October 28, 2022 Off By BusinessWire

HAWTHORNE, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TARO) (“Taro” or the “Company”) today provided unaudited financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2022.

Quarter ended September 30, 2022* Highlights ─ compared to September 30, 2021

  • Net sales of $130.5 million decreased, principally due to the continued price decline particularly in the U.S. generic business, as well as a one-time gross-to-net (“GTN”) adjustment.
  • Gross profit of $47.0 million (36.0% of net sales) compared to $62.0 million (47.0% of net sales).
  • Research and development (R&D) expenses of $11.5 million decreased slightly.
  • Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $42.3 million increased $18.6 million.
  • Operating loss of $(6.8) million compared to operating income of $24.4 million. The current year quarter operating loss is primarily attributable to the aforementioned price erosion and GTN adjustment, as well as the on-going impact associated with the integration of our recent acquisition.
  • Interest and other financial income of $4.3 million increased $1.9 million.
  • Tax benefit of $2.1 million compared to tax expense of $6.1 million in the prior year quarter.
  • Net loss attributable to Taro was $(2.8) million compared to net income of $23.3 million, resulting in (loss) per share of $(0.07) compared to earnings per share of $0.62. Excluding the impact from the settlement and loss contingencies charges in the prior year quarter, net income was $24.7 million, resulting in earnings per share of $0.66.

Six Months ended September 30, 2022* Highlights ─ compared to September 30, 2021

  • Net sales of $287.2 million increased $8.1 million.
  • Gross profit of $128.6 million (44.8% of net sales compared to 50.1%) decreased $11.2 million.
  • R&D expenses of $23.0 million decreased $2.4 million.
  • SG&A of $98.4 million increased $50.7 million.
  • Operating income of $7.2 million compared to $5.2 million, Excluding the impact from the settlement and loss contingencies charges in the prior year, operating income was $66.6 million. The current year operating income primarily reflects the six-month impact of the factors mentioned above.
  • Interest and other financial income of $6.2 million increased from $5.4 million.
  • Net income attributable to Taro was $11.3 million compared to $4.6 million, resulting in earnings per share of $0.30 compared to earnings per share of $0.12. Excluding the impact from the settlement and loss contingencies charges in the prior year, net income was $66.0 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.75.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

  • Cash flow used in operations for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was $37.7 million compared to $8.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021. Excluding the impact from the settlement and loss contingencies charges in both periods, cash flow provided by operations was $30.0 million compared to $94.9 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021.
  • As of September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and marketable securities (both short- and long-term) decreased $58.9 million to $1.2 billion from March 31, 2022; principally the result of a $67.6 million settlement payment to the Direct Purchaser Plaintiff (“DPP”) class in the In re: Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2724.
