Impax Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPXL) today reported first quarter ended March 31, 2011 financial results.

“Our revenue related to the sale of our generic and brand products and services other than generic Flomax® and Adderall XR® increased 11% in the first quarter of 2011. This was primarily due to revenue recognized on milestones achieved during the quarter under development agreements with partners and higher sales of fenofibrate products.” said Larry Hsu, Ph.D., president and CEO, Impax Laboratories, Inc.

“As expected, our first quarter 2011 year over year performance was impacted by the one year anniversary of our exclusive launch of generic Flomax®, the largest in our history, and to a lesser extent, our continuing inability and frustration in obtaining sufficient generic Adderall XR® product. While generic Flomax® opportunities don’t occur every quarter, the significant cash generated from this launch will be a large contributor to the external growth initiatives we continue to explore.”

“We believe our pending generic pipeline of 39 products and 77 under development potentially includes other exclusive launch opportunities. We are also enthused about the recent positive phase III results for IPX066, our leading brand product candidate for Parkinson’s disease. All of these pipeline opportunities provide the potential to fuel future growth.”

Dr. Hsu further stated, “We remain disappointed with the ongoing lack of sufficient supply of generic Adderall XR® to support customer demand that could lead to stronger financial performance for the Company. We received our first 2011 shipments but our customer demand still greatly exceeds available supply. We continue to pursue every available means to acquire sufficient product to meet this demand and favorably resolve the issue as quickly as possible. For the second quarter of 2011, assuming receipt of promised shipments, we are cautiously optimistic that our generic Adderall XR® sales could improve slightly over first quarter 2011 levels.”

“We continue to focus our attention on internal and external growth initiatives. In 2011, we are determined to achieve our generic Abbreviated New Drug Application filing goal of at least 12 new applications with at least three of these being first-to-file or first-to-market opportunities. In addition, we remain on schedule to file the New Drug Application for IPX066 in the fourth quarter of 2011.”

First Quarter 2011

Global Pharmaceuticals Division revenues in the first quarter of 2011 were $103.3 million compared to $319.8 million in the prior year period, the reduction in revenues were driven by a decrease in Global Product sales, net, as discussed below.

During the first quarter of 2011, Global Product sales, net, compared to the prior year period, were lower primarily due to significantly reduced sales of generic Flomax® and authorized generic Adderall XR® products, partially offset by higher sales of generic fenofibrate products. As previously noted, the Company had contractual market exclusivity for generic Flomax® starting on March 2, 2010 and continuing for the succeeding eight week period during which the Company was able to achieve high market-share penetration. The addition of competing generic versions of Flomax® entering the market in late April 2010 resulted in both price erosion and reduction in the Company’s market share. The decrease in sales of authorized generic Adderall XR® was principally the result of supply disruptions in late 2010 and throughout the first quarter of 2011. Also, in the prior year period, certain market disruptions caused by supply shortages of generic Adderall XR® may have impacted sales of a competitor and subsequently benefited the Company’s first quarter of 2010 sales.

The Company’s Research Partner revenues increased $3.0 million due to milestones achieved during the first quarter of 2011 under the Medicis joint development agreement originally entered into in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Gross profit of $56.2 million represents a 54% gross margin in the first quarter of 2011, and was lower than the 76% gross margin for the prior year period primarily due to the sales of our generic Flomax® products which carried a higher average gross margin during the contractual market exclusivity period as discussed above.

Total generic operating expenses of $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2011 declined slightly over the prior year period.

First Quarter 2011

Impax Pharmaceuticals Division revenues in the first quarter of 2011 increased $1.8 million to $5.3 million over the prior year period due to the addition of Rx Partner and Research Partner revenues.

In the first quarter of 2011, the Company recognized $1.4 million of Rx Partner revenue related to the $11.5 million up-front payment (recognized over 24 months) received under the License, Development and Commercialization Agreement with Glaxo Group Limited which was entered into in December 2010. In addition, the Company recognized $0.3 million of Research Partner revenue resulting from the Development and Co-Promotion Agreement with Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc, which was entered into in June 2010.

The Company is currently strategically investing in research and development to develop brand products which provide longer product life cycles and the potential for significantly higher profit margins than generic products. In the first quarter of 2011, research and development expense increased $0.8 million to $9.7 million compared to the prior year period, primarily due to planned spending on clinical studies for the Company’s leading drug candidate IPX066 for Parkinson’s disease.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Net income excluding adjusted items, net income per diluted share excluding adjusted items and EBITDA, excluding adjusted items, are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as substitutes for, or superior to, net income, and net income per diluted share as a measure of financial performance. However, management uses both GAAP financial measures and the disclosed non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business.  Further, management believes the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplementary information to and facilitates analysis by investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and trends. The Company’s calculation of net income excluding adjusted items, net income per diluted share excluding adjusted items and EBITDA, excluding adjusted items, may not be comparable to similarly designated measures reported by other companies, since companies and investors may differ as to what type of events warrant adjustment.
