I am proud of how our company has navigated these challenges, ensuring the continued manufacturing and availability of our products while keeping our employees safe,” stated Patrick Walsh, Interim President and CEO.

“In addition, we are delighted to welcome Nikhil, Jeanne and Tony, all exceptionally talented executives with deep industry knowledge who will collectively enable us to drive our future growth initiatives, execute on our corporate vision and achieve our strategic goals,” concluded Walsh.


Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

****<br><br>Net Revenues<br> <br>(in thousands) Three Months Ended June 30
2020 2019
Generic pharmaceutical products $ 33,400 $ 36,255
Branded pharmaceutical products 10,633 13,996
Contract manufacturing 2,900 3,687
Royalty and other income 1,537 419
Total net revenues $ 48,470 $ 54,357

Net revenues were $48.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared with $54.5 million in the second quarter of 2019. Net revenues for generic pharmaceutical products were $33.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 8% compared to $36.3 million for the same period in 2019. Net revenues for branded pharmaceutical products were $10.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 24% compared to $14.0 million for the same period in 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s generic and branded product revenue results were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Contract manufacturing revenues were $2.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of 21% compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2019, due to a decreased volume of orders from contract manufacturing customers in the period.

Royalty and other revenues were $1.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $1.1 million from $0.4 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to increases in product development revenues earned by ANI Canada and an increase in royalty and laboratory service revenues.

Operating expenses increased to $59.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from $45.1 million in the prior year period.

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $5.1 million to $20.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to increased volumes related to a shift in product mix toward generic products, $1.4 million in cost of sales representing the excess of fair value over cost for inventory acquired in the Amerigen acquisition and subsequently sold during the period, inventory reserve charges related to excess inventory on hand and discontinued projects, and increased sales of products subject to profit-sharing arrangements. Excluding the $1.4 million impact, cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues increased to 40% during the three months ended June 30, 2020, from 29% during same period in 2019 for the reasons mentioned above.


Research and development expense decreased by $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 to $3.0 million compared with $5.8 million in the second quarter of 2019, primarily due to the non-recurrence of $2.3 million of expense related to in-process research and development acquired from Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the second quarter of 2019 and a decrease in expense related to the Cortrophin re-commercialization project. These decreases were tempered by $0.4 million of severance expense associated with the restructuring of the Company’s internal Cortophin development team. The Company currently anticipates that Cortrophin-related expenses in the second half of 2020 will approximate the first half of 2020, as we continue to focus on our supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) resubmission efforts.

Selling, general and administrative costs rose by $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2020 to $21.2 million compared to $14.2 million in the comparable quarter in 2019. The increase primarily reflects $6.5 million of one-time termination expenses related to the departure of the Company’s former President and CEO and costs incurred for the CEO recruitment process.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2020 to $11.2 million compared to $9.5 million in the comparable quarter in 2019 due to amortization of the Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”), and marketing and distribution rights acquired in January 2020 from Amerigen.

The Company also had $3.6 million in the build of Cortrophin pre-launch commercial inventories, which are expensed for U.S. GAAP; there were no such comparable activities in the second quarter 2019.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was $12.3 million as compared to net income of $6.6 million in the prior year period. The effective consolidated tax benefit rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 10.5%. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.03, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.53 in the prior year period.

Adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.69 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $1.44 in the prior year period.

For a reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see Table 4.

Guidance for the Full Year 2020

Due to inherent uncertainties regarding the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, ANI has suspended its previously announced 2020 financial guidance.


Liquidity

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $27.7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus $73.2 million in net accounts receivable. The Company had $190.2 million in outstanding debt as of June 30, 2020.

Cortrophin Gel Re-commercialization Update

The Company has made progress in advancing its lead product, Cortrophin Gel. In collaboration with a prominent consulting firm, the Company completed a comprehensive gap assessment and made significant changes to the project’s leadership team. The majority of the identified deficiencies have already been remediated, and timelines for completing the remaining tasks, including additional data to bolster analytical comparability to the legacy drug product, have been established. The Company expects to resubmit the sNDA no later than the first quarter of 2021.

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 income, excluding tax expense or benefit, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, the excess of fair value over cost of acquired inventory, stock-based compensation expense, CEO transition expenses, expense from acquired in-process research and development, gains on inventory reserve recoveries, transaction and integration expenses, Cortrophin pre-launch charges, other income/expense 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.


Adjusted non-GAAP Net Income


ANI’s management considers adjusted non-GAAP net 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, CEO transition expenses, non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization, inventory reserve recoveries, Cortrophin pre-launch charges, acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) expense, transaction and integration expenses and certain other items that vary in frequency and impact on ANI’s results of operations. Management uses adjusted non-GAAP net income when analyzing Company performance.

Adjusted non-GAAP net income is defined as net income, plus the excess of fair value over cost of acquired inventory sold, stock-based compensation expense, CEO transition expenses, transaction and integration expenses, non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, expense from acquired in-process research and development, Cortrophin pre-launch charges 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 income should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, net income reported under GAAP. A reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP net income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided below.


Adjusted non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share


ANI’s management considers adjusted non-GAAP diluted 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, CEO transition expenses, non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization, inventory reserve recoveries, Cortrophin pre-launch charges, acquired IPR&D expense, transaction and integration expenses and certain other items that vary in frequency and impact on ANI’s results of operations. Management uses adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share when analyzing Company performance.

Adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted non-GAAP net income, as defined above, divided by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted for the dilutive effect of the convertible debt notes (in 2019), when applicable. 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 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 earnings per share to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided below.
