Douglas Boothe, Akorn’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our third quarter results reflect the continued progress and momentum we have built year-to-date.  The positive operating cash flow generation, significant decrease in failure to supply penalties, and continued margin improvements were driven by our commitment to operational excellence.  As a result of our third quarter performance and current expectations for the fourth quarter, we are updating our net loss and affirming our revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance for full year 2019.”

Boothe continued, “We are confident in our long-term strategy and are pleased with the progress we have made in our efforts to refinance our debt and return to long-term profitability and value creation for our stakeholders.”

Summary Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2019

Akorn's reported net revenue was $176.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2019, representing an increase of $10.6 million, or 6.4%, as compared to net revenue of $165.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018.  The increase in net revenue in the period was primarily due to increases of $11.0 million and $4.6 million in organic revenue and new products, respectively, partially offset by a decline in discontinued products revenue of $5.0 million.  The $11.0 million increase in organic revenue was due to approximately $37.0 million, or 23.4% of favorable price variance primarily due to price increases on certain exclusive products partially offset by $25.9 million, or 16.4% in volume decline.  The volume decline was principally due to the effect of competition on a number of products, including Myorisan® and Fluticasone Rx as well as supply shortfalls from the continued production ramp-up at our Somerset manufacturing facility.

Consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, was $71.4 million, or 40.5% of net revenue, compared to $57.3 million, or 34.6% of net revenue, in the corresponding prior year quarter.  The increase in the gross profit percentage was principally due to favorable price and product mix and timing of costs associated with FDA compliance related improvement activities.

GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2019, was $47.7 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $(70.1) million, or $(0.56) per diluted share, for the same quarter of 2018.  Included in GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2019 was an income tax benefit of approximately $66.3 million which was primarily due to the release of a tax reserve as a result of an IRS approval of an accounting method change related to the timing of deductions for chargebacks and rebates.  After a net adjustment of $(45) million to net income for non-GAAP items, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2019 was $0.02, compared to $(0.06) in the same quarter of 2018, after a net adjustment of $63 million to net income for non-GAAP items.  See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $17.5 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $(56.2) million for the third quarter of 2018.  Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the performance of the Akorn business, was $29.0 million for the third quarter of 2019, compared to $10.0 million for the third quarter of 2018.  See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Summary Financial Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

Akorn's reported net revenue was $520.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, representing a decrease of $20.5 million, or 3.8%, as compared to net revenue of $540.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.  The decrease in net revenue in the period was primarily due to $16.4 million and $12.1 million decline in organic revenue and discontinued products, respectively, that were partially offset by $8.0 million increase in net revenue from new products.  The $16.4 million decline in organic revenue was due to approximately $77.7 million, or 15.0% in volume declines partially offset by $61.3 million, or 11.8% of favorable price variance primarily due to price increases on certain exclusive products.  The volume decline was principally due to the effect of competition on a number of products including Fluticasone Rx, Aminocaproic Tablets, Nembutal and Ephedrine as well as supply shortfalls from the continued production ramp-up at our Somerset manufacturing facility.

Consolidated gross profit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, was $192.9 million, or 37.1% of net revenue, compared to $220.8 million, or 40.8% of net revenue, in the corresponding prior year period.  The decline in the gross profit percentage was principally due to increased costs associated with FDA compliance related improvement activities and increased inventory loss that was partially offset by favorable price and product mix.

GAAP net loss was $(146.1) million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, or $(1.16) per diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $(186.9) million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, or $(1.49) per diluted share.  After a net adjustment of $133 million to net income for non-GAAP items, adjusted diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $(0.10), compared to $0.10 in the corresponding period in the prior year, after a net adjustment of $199 million to net income for non-GAAP items.

EBITDA was $(105.6) million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, compared to $(135.4) million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.  Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure used by management to evaluate the performance of the Akorn business, was $60.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, compared to $69.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.  See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Updated Full Year 2019 Guidance

The Company is affirming its net revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance, and updating other guidance as noted below:

  • Net revenue for the year is expected to be in the range of $690 million to $710 million
  • Net loss for the year is expected to be in the range of $(193) million to $(178) million.  The change is primarily driven by a tax benefit during the three month period ended September 30, 2019, which was due to the release of a reserve for an uncertain tax position.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the year is expected to be in the range of $71 million to $86 million
  • Expecting approximately $30 million in capital expenditures, a decrease from previous guidance
  • Expecting approximately $50 million for FDA compliance and data integrity assessment expenditures

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 income (loss) before net interest income (expense), provision (benefit) for income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

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

Net income (loss), (minus) plus:

Interest income (expense), netProvision (benefit) for income taxesDepreciation and amortizationNon-cash expenses, such as impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation expense, and amortization of deferred financing costsOther adjustments, such as legal settlements, restatement expenses and various merger and acquisition-related expenses, employee retention expense, refinancing advisory fees, fixed asset impairment, executive termination expenses, data integrity investigations & assessment, gain on disposal of fixed assets, andFresenius transaction & 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 (loss), as defined by the Company, is calculated as follows:

Net income (loss), (minus) plus:              

Amortization expenseNon-cash expenses, such as impairment of long-lived assets, share-based compensation expense, and amortization of deferred financing costsOther adjustments, such as legal settlements, restatement expenses and various merger and acquisition-related expenses, employee retention expense, refinancing advisory fees, fixed asset impairment, executive termination expenses, data integrity investigations & assessment, gain on disposal of fixed assets, andFresenius transaction & litigationLess an estimated tax 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 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 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.
