Eon Labs, Inc. and
Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements
(dollars in thousands, except per share
amounts)
1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed
consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Eon
Labs, Inc. (the Company) without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. In the opinion
of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position
as of June 30, 2003 and results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented. The consolidated balances as
of December 31, 2002 were derived from audited financial statements but do
not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting standards for interim financial statements and should be read in
conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and
the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be
expected for the year.
Change of
Company Ownership and Reorganization
Prior to the
reorganization described below, Hexal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (HPI), a
wholly-owned United States subsidiary of Santo Holding (Deutschland) GmbH,
which is under common control with Hexal AG, owned 50% of the outstanding
capital stock of the Company. HPI also
owned 100% of Eon Holdings, Inc. (EHI), whose principal asset was the
remaining 50% ownership of the Company.
Effective May
22, 2002, in conjunction with the initial public offering of the Companys common
stock, the Company was combined with HPI and EHI into a single entity through a
series of reorganization mergers. EHI was merged with and into HPI and HPI was
subsequently merged with and into the Company. This reorganization was
accounted for as a merger of entities under common control and the accounts of
the companies were combined in a manner similar to a pooling of interests
effective January 1, 2000. The condensed consolidated financial statements
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 reflect results on a
combined basis.
Revenue
Recognition
Sales are
recognized when the products are received by the customer, which represents the
point when the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the
customer. Discounts, rebates and contract
pricing adjustments are recorded as a reduction of sales based on agreed upon
terms with the Companys customers at the time of sale. The Company calculates a reserve for
discounts and rebates based upon actual sales under such arrangements. Reserves for contract pricing adjustments
represent the difference between the prices wholesalers are billed by the
Company and the prices billed to their customers to whom the Company has given
contract
6
prices. In determining a reserve for contract price
adjustments, the Company takes into account an estimate of the percentage of
product sales subject to such pricing adjustments based on historical trends. Historical trends are adjusted for new
product introductions and changes in wholesaler or contract prices.
Accounts
receivable is presented net of allowances for discounts, rebates, contract
pricing adjustments and doubtful accounts, which were $117,357 and $75,510 at
June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.
Shelf stock
adjustments are provided following a reduction in the prices of any of the
Companys products due to the competitive environment. Such adjustments are credited to the
Companys customers based on their on-hand inventory quantities. Reserves are generally established when the
Company reduces its prices.
Shipping and
Handling Costs
The Company
classifies shipping and handling costs as part of selling, general and
administrative expenses. Shipping and
handling costs were $1,125 and $630 for the three months ended June 30,
2003 and 2002, respectively, and $2,215 and $1,223 for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Investments
The Company
invests in publicly traded debt securities which are categorized as securities
available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses excluded from income and recorded directly to accumulated other
comprehensive income. The market value
of such securities exceeded book value by $61 and $73 at June 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, respectively.
Accordingly, net income is decreased by $6, resulting in comprehensive
income of $33,133 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2002, no adjustment of net
income to determine comprehensive income is needed, as there were no
investments in marketable securities.
2. Initial Public Offering and
Shareholders Equity
On June 11,
2002, the Company completed its initial public offering of common stock, which
resulted in net proceeds of $139,236 and the issuance of 10,200,813 shares of
common stock. Upon the consummation of
the Companys initial public offering, all of the previously outstanding shares
of the Companys preferred stock were converted into 30,000,000 shares of
common stock and warrants were exercised resulting in the issuance of 1,680,528
shares of common stock. Immediately
following the closing of the Companys initial public offering, debt of $25,178
due to Hexal AG was converted into 1,678,561 shares of common stock and debt of
$66,942 due to Hexal AG was paid with the proceeds of the offering.
Stock Splits
In May 2002,
the Company effected a 30-for-1 stock split of the Companys preferred stock
and the Companys non-voting common stock with no change in par value.
Additional paid-in capital, preferred stock, common stock, per share and shares
outstanding data in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
and Notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have
been retroactively restated to reflect this stock split.
7
In May 2002,
the outstanding 30,000,000 preferred shares were converted to common stock. In
addition, the Company changed the number of shares of authorized preferred
stock to 5,000,000, increased the number of shares of authorized voting common
stock to 70,000,000 and converted shares of non-voting common stock to shares
of a single class of common stock.
Additional Paid-In Capital
Additional
paid-in capital increased by $1,689 to $194,351 at June 30, 2003 from $192,662
at December 31, 2002. The increase
represents proceeds of $258 from the exercise of employee stock options and
$1,433 of tax benefits associated with these exercise transactions.
Deferred
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company
amortized deferred stock compensation in the amount of $112 and $288 for the
three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $224 and $578 for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Stock
Repurchase Program
In April 2003,
the Companys Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 300,000
shares of the Companys common stock over the next twelve months. The Company
has adopted a plan to repurchase 125,000 shares under Rule 10b5-1 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Depending on market conditions,
the Company also expects to conduct purchases in the open market and in
privately negotiated transactions from time to time during its normal trading
window and may enter into future plans to repurchase shares under Rule 10b5-1.
The share purchases are expected to commence in the third quarter. The
repurchased shares will become treasury shares and will be used to offset
potential dilution in the event outstanding stock options are exercised.
3. Net
Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per share is
computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution of stock options, warrants, and the conversion
of preferred stock. Details of the
calculations are as follows:

4. Adoption of
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based
CompensationTransition and Disclosure that amends SFAS No. 123
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative
methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No. 148 amends the
disclosure requirements of Accounting Principal Board (APB) Opinion
No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting and Statement No. 123 to
require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reporting results. SFAS No. 148 is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The
adoption of SFAS No. 148, except for the disclosure requirements, had no
impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The additional
required disclosure have been provided below.
The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock-based compensation. In addition, the Company
provides pro forma disclosure of stock-based compensation, as measured under
the fair value requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation and as determined through the use of the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. These pro forma disclosures are provided as required under
SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and
Disclosure.
The fair value of the options was determined
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150
requires that certain financial instruments, which under previous guidance were
accounted for as equity, must now be accounted for as liabilities. The financial instruments affected include
mandatory redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may
require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other
assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial
instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is
effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15,
2003. The initial adoption of SFAS No.
150 on July 1, 2003 is not expected to have any impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others an Interpretation of FASB
Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No.
34. This interpretation expands on the
existing accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for most guarantees,
including indemnifications. It requires
that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an
initial liability for the fair value of the obligations it assumes under that
guarantee if that amount is reasonably estimable, and must disclose that
information in its interim and annual financial statements. The provisions for initial recognition and
measurement of the liability are to be applied on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified on or after January 1, 2003. The Companys initial adoption of this
statement on January 1, 2003, did not have an impact on its results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Guarantees issued or modified after January 1, 2003, will be recognized
at their fair value in the Companys financial statements. The Company has not issued any guarantees as
of June 30, 2003.

Line of Credit
On February 8, 2002, the
Company entered into a
three-year $25 million credit agreement, which is collateralized by
accounts receivable and inventory. Interest on any borrowing under the line
will accrue at the rate of interest equal to either the adjusted LIBOR rate
plus 1.5%, the prime rate or the fixed rate (as set by the bank). The rate will depend upon the terms of the
selected borrowings. The agreement has
covenants which require the maintenance of certain financial ratios including
leverage, consolidated debt and asset coverage, as defined. At June 30, 2003, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the line of credit.

Litigation
Product
Liability Litigation
Fen-phen Litigation
Since
May 1997, the Company and certain of its customers have been named as
defendants in numerous product liability lawsuits, some of which are class
actions, filed in various state and federal courts in connection with its
manufacture and sale of phentermine hydrochloride. These lawsuits typically name as a defendant Wyeth (formerly
American Home Products Corporation), the manufacturer of two anti-obesity
drugs, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine, and also name manufacturers and
distributors of phentermine. Fenfluramine and phentermine were prescribed in
combination in an off-label use commonly called fen-phen, while
dexfenfluramine was generally prescribed alone, but occasionally in combination
with phentermine. In September 1997,
Wyeth, the manufacturer of fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine, agreed with the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to voluntarily withdraw both products from
the market. The FDA has not requested that phentermine be withdrawn from
the market.
The plaintiffs
in these cases (the fen-phen cases) typically allege that the short- and
long-term use of fenfluramine in combination with phentermine causes, among
other things, primary pulmonary hypertension, valvular heart disease and/or
neurological dysfunction. Some lawsuits allege emotional distress caused
by the purported increased risk of injury in the future, and others allege
fraud or conspiracy in the marketing of fenfluramine, dexfenfluramine and
phentermine. Plaintiffs typically seek relief in the form of monetary damages
(including economic losses, medical care and monitoring expenses, loss of
earnings and earnings capacity, other compensatory damages and punitive
damages), generally in unspecified amounts, on behalf of the individual or the
class. Some actions seeking class certification ask for certain types of
equitable relief, including, but not limited to, declaratory judgments and the
establishment of a research program or medical surveillance fund. Certain
companies that distributed or sold the Companys phentermine and are named as
defendants in certain of these lawsuits seek a defense and indemnity from the
Company.
In 2000, the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which
supervises discovery of all federal fen-phen cases in a consolidated
multidistrict litigation (the Fen-Phen MDL), found that proposed
anti-phentermine causation testimony by two expert witnesses was not
supported by scientific evidence and thus would be barred. These two
experts were the only national anti-phentermine causation experts
identified in the consolidated federal litigation, and were to have been
generic experts in hundreds of cases. The Courts decision to
substantially curb their testimony has resulted in many cases being dismissed.
To date, there has been no scientific testimony accepted by any court that
establishes a connection between the use of phentermine, either alone or in
combination with fenfluramine and/or dexfenfluramine, and the injury
allegations made by plaintiffs.
12
In late 1999,
Wyeth, the major defendant in the fen-phen litigation and the former
manufacturer of both fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine, announced a proposed
settlement of all fen-phen claims against it nationwide (excepting only claims
for certain serious medical conditions). The United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania certified a nationwide settlement
class in the Fen-Phen MDL and approved the proposed settlement, which became
final in January 2002. This settlement has reduced the number of
cases in which the Company and its distributors have been named as defendants.
As of June 30,
2003, the Company had been named and served in approximately 6,550 fen-phen
product liability cases. More than 95% of these cases have been
dismissed, and fewer than 270 remained open. Since the beginning of the
fen-phen litigation, only one case has gone to trial with the Company and its
distributors as defendants. In that case, the Company and all the
phentermine defendants, including other phentermine manufacturers and
distributors, were dismissed on motion before the presentation of any evidence.
While the
number of lawsuits being filed has decreased substantially since its peak
several years ago, the Company expects additional, similar lawsuits to be
filed. Beginning in May 2003, in response to an upcoming opt-out deadline
in the Wyeth settlement, the Company and its distributors have been served with
an increasing number of new fen-phen claims, and the Company has learned that a
large number of new fen-phen claims have been filed in several states. While the Company has been served in a
number of new cases, it is not clear how many of the newly-filed cases name the
Company or its distributors, or how many new cases will be served on the
Company or its distributors in the future.
The Company
and its outside counsel believe that the Company has substantial defenses to
the fen-phen claims, though their ultimate outcome cannot be determined.
As of June 30, 2003, there had been no finding of liability for fen-phen injury
against the Company and no payment by the Company to settle any
combination-related fen-phen lawsuit.
Phentermine
Litigation
The Company
has been named as a defendant in several cases in which the plaintiff alleges
injury from the use of phentermine alone, and in one instance the Company was
named as a defendant in a state case alleging injury from the use of
Company-produced phentermine in combination with phenylpropanolamine (PPA)
made by another company. The
phentermine/PPA claim was dismissed in the Companys favor in 2003, and as of
June 30, 2003 only two phentermine-only claims remained pending. Because discovery has not been completed in
these remaining cases, predicting their ultimate outcome is not possible, and
no provision for any liability has been reflected in the Companys financial
statements.
Gross sales of
phentermine by the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and June 30,
2002 were $10.6 million and $19.7 million, respectively.
13
Other Product
Liability Litigation
The Company
has been named as a defendant in several other product liability lawsuits in
which plaintiffs allege that Company-manufactured pharmaceuticals containing
phenylpropanolamine (PPA) caused injury.
PPA was removed from the market in 2000 at the FDAs request after a
study appeared to show a potentially increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke in
certain patient cohorts. Additionally,
the Company was recently named in a product liability lawsuit in which
plaintiff alleges injury from amiodarone HCl, a generic antiarrhythmic
agent. Because discovery in the PPA
cases is ongoing and discovery in the amiodarone case has yet to begin,
predicting the ultimate outcome of these actions is not possible and no
provision for any liability has been reflected in the Companys financial
statements.
Defense/Indemnity
Issues Related to Fen-phen and Phentermine Litigation
In or about
April 2000, the Company exhausted its product liability insurance covering
combination-related phentermine lawsuits and non-combination phentermine
lawsuits resulting from claims regarding the ingestion of phentermine prior to
June 22,1998 on claims made before June 22, 2003. Since April 2000, the Company has funded its own defense in the
fen-phen, phentermine-only and phentermine-PPA product liability lawsuits, with
the exception of one phentermine-only case where ingestion occurred after June
1998. Additionally, the Company has reached agreements under which the
Company will fund or partially fund the defense of certain of its distributors,
and to indemnify them provided certain conditions are met. Further, the
Company has reached defense/indemnity agreements with several retailers, and is
negotiating the resolution of several additional claims with other
retailers. Since April 2000, fen-phen and phentermine litigation defense
costs, and the costs of related defense agreements, have been expensed as
incurred.
Under a
settlement reached in October 1999 with an insurance carrier, $2,250 of
insurance coverage would become available for certain product liability claims
made on or after June 22, 2003 for occurrences prior to June 1998. The Company has made insurance coverage
claims for fen-phen claims filed on or after June 22, 2003 which allege
fen-phen use prior to June 1998, and these coverage claims are pending. Fen-phen litigation costs and the costs of
related defense agreements are being expensed as incurred, except for costs
related to claims made on or after June 22, 2003 that may be covered by
insurance.
Patent
Infringement Litigation
On August 30,
2000, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation filed a complaint in the United
States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging among other things
that the Companys generic cyclosporine product infringes a patent owned by
Novartis. An adverse outcome in patent
litigation with Novartis involving cyclosporine capsules could result in the
Company being unable to market this product which would materially harm its
profits and cash flows and could result in the Company paying damages, costs,
expenses, and fees that could have a material adverse impact on its financial
performance. The Companys potential
liability and expenses in this matter are not covered by insurance. In December 2002, the United States District
Court for the District of Delaware granted the Companys motion for summary
judgment of non-infringement of the patent.
Novartis has appealed the judgment.
The ultimate outcome of this lawsuit cannot be determined.
14
In January
2001, Apotex, Inc. filed an action in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of New York alleging that by manufacturing, selling and
offering to sell cyclosporine capsules the Company is infringing a patent of
which Apotex alleged it is the exclusive licensee. Apotex seeks injunctive relief as well as an unspecified amount
of damages and has also asserted a claim that the alleged infringement was
willful, that the case is therefore exceptional and that Apotex should
therefore be awarded the attorney fees it has incurred in the action. The Companys potential liability and
expenses in this matter are not covered by insurance. An adverse outcome in this litigation could result in the Company
being unable to market cyclosporine, which could materially harm profits and
cash flows, and could result in paying damages, costs, expenses and fees that
could have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial performance.
The Company
has denied that it has infringed any valid patent claims asserted by Apotex,
has alleged affirmatively, among other things, that the patent is invalid and
that it is not infringed by the Companys manufacture, sale or offer to sell
its cyclosporine capsules.
In addition,
the Company has been named in several other patent infringement actions
alleging that the Company has infringed patents by filing an application with
the FDA for approval to market products before the plaintiffs patents
expire. In general, plaintiffs seek
judgments precluding the FDA from approving the Companys application to market
the product before their patent expires and have asserted claims that the
alleged infringement was willful, that the action is therefore exceptional and
that plaintiffs should therefore be awarded the attorney fees they have
incurred in the action.
The Company
and its outside counsel believe that the Company has substantial defenses and
counterclaims to these above patent infringement actions, though the ultimate
outcome cannot be determined.
Because
predicting the ultimate outcome of these actions is not possible, no provision
for any liability has been reflected in the Companys financial statements.
Legal Fee
Recovery
In August
2001, the Company was successful in defending itself in the United States
District Court for the District of Massachusetts against a patent infringement
claim involving Nabumetone. At the
conclusion of the trial, the Company filed a motion to recover the legal fees
it incurred in defending the action.
The motion was stayed pending the appeal of the District Courts
ruling. The Court of Appeals affirmed
the District Court decision in August 2002.
In May 2003, the Company and the original plaintiff reached agreement
regarding the Companys motion to recover legal fees. Under the agreement the Company was reimbursed $3.5 million for
legal fees it had incurred in defending itself. The $3.5 million recovery of legal fees has been reflected in
other selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June
30, 2003.
Other
Litigation
The Company is
in other litigation incidental to its
business activities. The ultimate
disposition of such lawsuits will not materially affect the Companys financial
statements.

9. Contingencies
Rebates
The Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, effective January 1, 1991, requires drug
companies to enter into a rebate agreement with the Health Care Financing
Administration of the Federal government.
The rebate agreement states that drug companies must pay rebates to
states for drugs (prescription, non-prescription or biological products) sold
to Medicaid recipients. At June 30,
2003 and December 31, 2002, $4,669 and $4,055, respectively, are included in
accrued liabilities as the estimated liability for Medicaid rebates.
State Medicaid
Claims
EHI purchased
Major Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Major), a distributor of drug products, in 1991
and sold Major in 1995. At the time of
the sale, EHI established an escrow account to cover any Medicaid drug rebate
liabilities incurred by Major prior to the sale. As of June 30, 2003, the recorded liability for such claims is
$883, which management believes is adequate to resolve such matters. The Company has approximately $747 as of
June 30, 2003 in an escrow account to resolve such claims.
FDA
Regulations
In January
2003, the Company received Inspectional Observations - Form FDA 483 (the FDA
483) at its Laurelton facility following the mislabeling of one lot of product
that was distributed. The mislabeled lot was recalled. The Company
provided a written response to the FDA 483 discussing the implementation of
corrective actions and revisions to procedures that the Company believes
addresses the concerns and issues raised by the FDA 483. In February
2003, the FDA issued a Warning Letter and requested that the Company clarify
and supplement its responses to the FDA 483. The Company has provided its
supplemental responses to the FDA. Based on follow-up discussions with
the FDA, the Company has been advised that a Current Good Manufacturing
Practices or GMP inspection would be conducted by the FDA at the Laurelton
facility beginning in May 2003. During
May 2003, the FDA successfully completed its GMP inspection at the Laurelton
facility. The inspection also resolved
all open items related to the previously issued Warning Letter.

. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following
discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements, the related notes to consolidated financial statements and
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K/A and the
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item
1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 2003 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
Net
sales.
Net sales increased 49.2% to $149.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $100.2 million in the
comparable period in 2002. The majority
of the increase was attributable to products introduced in late June 2002 or
thereafter. These products include
Lisinopril, USP, Lisinopril/HCTZ, Tizanidine HCl, Tramadol HCL, Nizatidine, USP
and a Dextroamphetamine and Amphetamine Mixed Salt Product. An increase in unit volume of several
existing products also contributed to higher sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2003.
Gross profit.
Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 53.5% for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 compared to 51.4% in the comparable period in 2002. The increase was primarily due to increased
utilization of manufacturing capacity, including a significant increase in
production at the Companys North Carolina facility. Additionally, in 2002 there was a $1.6 million write down of a
raw material that will not be utilized in production. The Companys gross profit margins are dependent on several
factors, including product sales mix, cost, volumes and competitive activity.
Amortization of other intangible assets.
Amortization of
other intangible assets was $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003
and for the comparable period in 2002.
Other selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million to $14.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from $13.2 million for the
comparable period in 2002. Expenses for
the six months ended June 30, 2003 were reduced by a $3.5 million recovery of
legal fees related to Nabumetone litigation.
Excluding the recovery of legal fees, other selling, general and
administrative expenses were $17.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2003, representing an increase of $4.3 million compared to the prior year. However, other selling, general and
administrative expenses, excluding the recovery of legal fees in 2003,
decreased as percentage of net sales to 11.7% compared to 13.2% for the 2002
period. The increase in other selling,
general and administrative expenses was principally due to higher insurance
premiums, an increase in distribution costs due to increased sales volume and
increased costs related to personnel.
Research and development expenses.
Research and development expenses increased
$3.1 million to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to
$6.3 million for the comparable period in 2002. The increase was
attributable to an increase in generic product development costs of $3.6
million, offset by a decrease of $0.5 million related to certain basic
17
research contracts unrelated to the Companys
business that were transferred in March 2002 to an unrelated entity. The
increase in generic product development costs was primarily attributable to
increases in costs related to bio-studies and materials.
Operating income
.
Operating income increased $24.6 million to $54.8 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2003 from $30.1 million for the comparable period in
2002. The increase in operating income was the result of increased sales
and gross profit, offset by increases in other selling, general and
administrative expenses and research and development costs.
Interest income (expense).
Net interest income for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 was $0.4 million compared to net interest expense of $3.3 million
in the comparable period in 2002. A decrease in outstanding debt,
including the elimination of $92.1 million of intercompany debt, decreased
interest expense by $3.1 million. Interest income increased by $0.5
million, the result of higher investment balances.
Taxes on income.
Taxes
on income increased $11.1 million to $22.1 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2003 from $11.0 million for the comparable period in 2002. The
increase was the result of higher pre-tax income for 2003. The effective
tax rate decreased to 40.0% from 41.0% due principally to lower state and local
taxes in 2003.
Net income.
Net
income increased $17.3 million to $33.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 2003 from $15.9 million in the comparable period in 2002 for the reasons
described above.
THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002
Net sales.
Net sales increased 51.3% to $78.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $52.0 million for the comparable
period in 2002. The majority of the increase was attributable to products
introduced in late June 2002 or thereafter.
These products include Lisinopril, USP, Lisinopril/HCTZ, Tizanidine HCl,
Tramadol HCL and Nizatidine, USP, and a Dextroamphetamine and Amphetamine Mixed
Salt Product. An increase in unit volume of several existing products
also contributed to higher sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.
Gross profit.
Gross profit as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 52.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to
54.4% in the comparable period in 2002. The decrease was primarily due to
a change in product mix, partially offset by the increased utilization of
manufacturing capacity, particularly at the Companys North Carolina
facility. The Companys gross profit margins are dependent on several
factors, including product sales mix, cost, volumes and competitive activity.
Amortization of other intangible assets.
Amortization of
other intangible assets was $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
2003 and for the comparable period in 2002.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses.
Other selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased $1.8 million to $5.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2003 from $7.1 million for the comparable period in 2002. Expenses for the three months ended June 30,
2003 were reduced by a $3.5 million recovery of legal fees related to
Nabumetone litigation. Excluding the
recovery of legal fees, other selling, general and administrative expenses were
$8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, representing an increase
of $1.7 million compared to the prior year.
However, other selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding
the recovery of legal fees in 2003, decreased as percentage of net sales to
11.2% from 13.6% for the 2002 period.
The increase in other selling, general and administrative expenses was
principally due to higher insurance premiums, and an increase in distribution
costs. Insurance expense increased by
$1.0 million, primarily the result of higher product liability and directors
and officers insurance premiums. Higher sales volume increased distribution
expenses by $0.4 million.
18
Research and development expenses.
Research and
development expenses increased $2.7 million to $5.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $3.0 million for the comparable period
in 2002. The increase was attributable to an increase in generic product
development costs of $2.7 million. The increase in generic product
development costs was primarily attributable to increases in costs related to
bio-studies and materials.
Operating income.
Operating income increased $12.4 million
to $29.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $17.3 million
for the comparable period in 2002. The increase in operating income was
the result of increased sales and gross profit and the recovery of legal fees,
offset by increases in research and development costs.
Interest income (expense).
Net interest income
for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.3 million compared to net
interest expense of $1.2 million in the comparable period in 2002. A
decrease in outstanding debt, including the elimination of $92.1 million of
intercompany debt, reduced interest expense by $1.3 million. Interest
income increased by $0.2 million, the result of higher investment balances.
Taxes on income.
Taxes on income increased $5.4 million to
$12.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $6.6 million in
the comparable period in 2002. The increase was the result of higher
pre-tax income for 2003. The effective tax rate decreased to 40.0% from
41.0% due principally to lower state and local taxes in 2003.
Net income
. Net income increased $8.5 million to $18.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 from $9.5 million in the
comparable period in 2002 for the reasons described above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES
Cash and
investments increased $25.6 million to $112.9 million at June 30, 2003 from
$87.2 million at December 31, 2002.
Cash and cash equivalents were $38.6 million at June 30, 2003 compared
to $62.3 million at December 31, 2002.
The $23.7 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents was more than
offset by a $49.3 million increase in investments.
The Company
also has a three-year $25 million credit facility which expires on February 8,
2005. Under this facility, the Company
can borrow at LIBOR plus 1.5%, the banks prime rate or a fixed rate. The credit facility, which is for working
capital purposes, had no outstanding borrowings against it at June 30, 2003.
19
Stockholders
equity increased to $293.2 million at June 30, 2003 from $258.2 million at
December 31, 2002. Stockholders equity
increased by $1.7 million (including tax benefits) from the exercise of
employee stock options, net earnings of $33.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2003 and $0.2 million for the amortization of deferred stock-based
compensation costs.
During the six
months ended June 30, 2003, the Company
consumed net cash of $23.7 million.
Operations generated $35.8 million of cash, comprised of net earnings of
$33.1 million and non-cash items totaling $49.0 million, offset by an increase
in working capital of $46.4 million.
The increase in working capital resulted from a decrease in accounts
payable of $0.5 million and increases in accounts receivable, inventory and
prepaid expenses and other current assets of $40.9 million, $8.5 million and
$2.2 million, respectively. A decrease
in other assets of $0.8 million and an increase in accrued liabilities of $5.0
million partially offset the other working capital increases. The increases in accounts receivable,
inventory, and accrued liabilities are associated with higher sales and
production levels. Prepaid expenses were
higher due to prepaid taxes.
Investing
activities consumed $55.1 million of cash during the six months ended June 30,
2003. Approximately $49.3 million was
used to purchase short-term investment grade debt instruments with the balance
of $5.8 million used for capital expenditures.
The capital expenditures relate primarily to equipment required to
support increased production volume in the Companys North Carolina facility.
Financing
activities consumed $4.4 million of cash during the six months ended June 30,
2003, with $4.8 million used to pay the remaining balance of the EHI
acquisition note. Additional sources of
cash during this period included $0.05 million related to an increase in
advances from an affiliate and $0.3 million of proceeds from the exercise of
stock options.
The Company is
involved in various litigation matters in which the potential liabilities
and/or related expenses are not covered by insurance. In addition, an adverse outcome in patent litigation with
Novartis and Apotex involving cyclosporine capsules could result in the Company
being unable to market this product which would materially harm its profits and
cash flows and could result in the Company paying damages, cost, expenses, and
fees that could have a material adverse impact on its financial
performance. In December 2002, the
United States District for the District of Delaware granted the Companys
motion in the Novartis case for summary judgment of non-infringement of the
patent. Novartis appealed the judgment
and the appeal is currently pending.
The Company does
not currently have or anticipate any
short-term funding requirements outside of the ordinary course of its business,
and the Company does not have or
anticipate any liquidity concerns. The Companys principal future cash
requirements are associated with increased working capital to support future
growth, capital expenditures and legal defense costs. The Company anticipates
that its operating cash flows, together with its available borrowings under its
credit facility and current cash balances, will be sufficient to meet all of
its working capital and capital expenditures requirements for both the
short-term and foreseeable future.
20
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The Companys
critical accounting policies are those policies that are important to the
portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations and require
managements subjective judgments. As a
result, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. The Company bases its judgments on its
experience and various other assumptions that the Company believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances. On
an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related
to revenues, returns, inventories, income taxes and litigation. The Companys actual results could differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following
accounting policies to be critical:
Sales are recognized
when the products are received by the customer, which represents the point when
the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer. Sales are shown net of discounts, rebates,
contract pricing adjustments and returns, which are estimated based on the
Companys experience. Discounts,
rebates and contract pricing adjustments are recorded as a reduction of sales
based on agreed upon terms with the Companys customers at the time of sale. The Company calculates a reserve for discounts
and rebates based upon actual sales under such arrangements. Reserves for contract pricing adjustments
represent the difference between the prices wholesalers are billed by the
Company and the prices billed to their customers to whom the Company has given
contract prices. In determining a
reserve for contract pricing adjustments, the Company takes into account an
estimate of the percentage of product sales subject to such pricing adjustments
based on historical trends. Historical
trends are adjusted for new product introductions and changes in wholesaler or
contract prices.
Shelf stock
adjustments are provided following a reduction in the prices of any of the
Companys products due to the competitive environment. Such adjustments are credited to the Companys
customers based on their on-hand inventory quantities. Reserves are generally established when the
Company reduces its prices.
Estimates for
returns, which are recorded at the time of sale, relate primarily to returns of
expiring products. The Company utilizes
historical trends to estimate the amount of products to be returned due to
product expiration.
In determining
whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the
Company must assess the allegations made and the likelihood that it will
successfully defend itself. When the
Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular
matter, it will then make an estimate of the amount of liability based in part
on advice of outside legal counsel.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In December
2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure that amends FASB Statement No. 123
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary
change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee
compensation. SFAS No. 148 amends the
disclosure requirements of APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting
and Statement No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and
interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reporting
results. SFAS No. 148 is effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002.
The adoption of SFAS No. 148, except for the disclosure requirements,
had no impact on the consolidated financial statements. The additional required disclosure is
included as part of note 4 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements on Form 10-Q.
21
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both
Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150
requires that certain financial instruments, which under previous guidance were
accounted for as equity, must now be accounted for as liabilities. The financial instruments affected include
mandatory redeemable stock, certain financial instruments that require or may
require the issuer to buy back some of its shares in exchange for cash or other
assets and certain obligations that can be settled with shares of stock. SFAS No. 150 is effective for all financial instruments
entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The initial adoption of SFAS No. 150 on July
1, 2003 is not expected to have any impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
The FASB issued Interpretation No. 45,
Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others an Interpretation of FASB
Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No.
34. This interpretation expands on the
existing accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for most guarantees,
including indemnifications. It requires
that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an
initial liability for the fair value of the obligations it assumes under that
guarantee if that amount is reasonably estimable, and must disclose that
information in its interim and annual financial statements. The provisions for initial recognition and
measurement of the liability are to be applied on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified on or after January 1, 2003. The Companys initial adoption of this
statement on January 1, 2003, did not have an impact on its results of
operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Guarantees issued or modified after January 1, 2003, will be recognized
at their fair value in the Companys financial statements. The Company has not issued any guarantees as
of June 30, 2003.
ITEM 3
-
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The following
discusses the Companys exposure to market risk related to changes in interest
rates, equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not believe that its
exposure to market risk is material.
As of June 30,
2003, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $38.6 million. Cash equivalents are interest-bearing
investment grade securities, primarily short-term, highly liquid investments
with maturities at the date of purchase of less than 90 days. These investments are subject to interest
rate risk and will decrease in value if market interest rates increase. A hypothetical increase in the market
interest rates by 10 percent from the rates in effect on the date of this Form
10-Q would cause the fair value of these short-term investments to decline by
an insignificant amount. The Company
has the ability to hold these investments until maturity,
22
and therefore
it does not expect the value of these investments to be affected to any
significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest
rates. Declines in interest rates over
time will, however, reduce the Companys interest income.
The Company
currently owns $74.3 million in publicly traded debt securities which are
subject to market fluctuations. These
investments are subject to interest rate risk and will decrease in value if
market interest rates increase. A
hypothetical increase in the market interest rates by 10 percent from the rates
in effect on the date of this Form 10-Q would cause the fair value of these
short-term investments to decline by an insignificant amount. However, the Company has the ability to hold
these investments until maturity, and therefore, it does not expect to realize
any loss upon a sudden change in market interest rates.
The Company
does not have any international operations or any significant assets or
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, and currently does not enter
into forward exchange contracts or other financial instruments with respect to
foreign currency transactions.
Accordingly, the Company currently does not have any significant foreign
currency exchange rate risk.
ITEM 4
- CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of June 30,
2003, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Companys
management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of June 30, 2003. There have
been no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to
June 30, 2003.
