|
ROCKVILLE, MD, May 5,
2010—Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) announced today its financial
results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2010.
For the
first quarter 2010, total revenues were $46.8 million as compared to $64.5
million in 2009, and net income was $2.5 million, or $0.08 per share, as
compared to $11.1 million, or $0.37 per share, in 2009. The 2010
performance was primarily driven by sales of BioThrax®
(Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed) based on scheduled deliveries to the Strategic
National Stockpile.
R. Don
Elsey, chief financial officer of Emergent BioSolutions, stated, “Our 1Q 2010
financial results were in line with our internal expectations and we remain on
track to achieve our guidance for the year. For the remainder of
2010, we anticipate strong financial performance as evidenced by our reaffirmed
forecast of total revenues of $235 to $255 million and net income of $20 to $30
million. This forecast does not reflect the revenue impact for 2010
associated with the anticipated awards of a multi-year development contract for
BioThrax scale-up with potential funding in excess of $100 million and a
multi-year development contract for our rPA vaccine candidate with potential
funding in excess of $250 million.”
1Q 2010 Key Financial
Results
Product
Sales
For 1Q
2010, product sales were $38.9 million, a decrease of $22.8 million, or 37
percent, from $61.7 million in 1Q 2009, primarily due to a 47 percent decrease
in the number of doses of BioThrax®
delivered related to the timing of scheduled deliveries under our contract with
HHS, partially offset by an 18 percent increase in the sales price per
dose. Product sales revenues in 1Q 2010 consisted of BioThrax® sales
to HHS of $38.8 million and aggregate international and other sales of
$37,000.
Contracts
and Grants Revenues
For 1Q
2010, contracts and grants revenue was $7.9 million, an increase of $5.1
million, or 180 percent, from $2.8 million in 1Q 2009. Contracts and
grants revenue for 2010 primarily consisted of development contract revenue from
NIAID and BARDA.
Cost
of Product Sales
For 1Q
2010, cost of product sales was $7.5 million, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 51
percent, from $15.4 million in 1Q 2009. This decrease was
attributable to the 47 percent decrease in BioThrax® doses
sold.
Research
and Development
For 1Q
2010, research and development expenses were $19.9 million, an increase of $4.0
million, or 25 percent, from $15.9 million in 1Q 2009. This increase
reflects higher contract service costs, and includes increased expenses of $5.3
million on product candidates in our biodefense programs, primarily product
candidates within our anthrax franchise, decreased expenses of $2.3 million
related to our commercial product candidates, and increased expenses of $1.0
million in other research and development, which are in support of technology
platforms and central R&D activities.
Selling,
General and Administrative
For 1Q
2010, selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.2 million, an
increase of $0.2 million, or 1 percent, from $16.0 million in 1Q
2009. This increase includes a $0.5 million non-cash charge
associated with our Frederick, Maryland facilities and increased personnel costs
related to the growth of the Company, partially offset by a $1.4 million
non-cash charge during 1Q 2009 associated with acquisitions that were in
progress but not completed as of December 31, 2008.
Financial
Condition and Liquidity
Cash and
cash equivalents at March 31, 2010 was $116.4 million compared to $102.9 million
at December 31, 2009. Additionally, at March 31, 2010, the accounts
receivable balance was $33.4 million, which is comprised primarily of unpaid
amounts due related to shipments of BioThrax®
received and accepted by the US government in the first quarter of
2010.
2010
Forecast
For 2010,
the Company is reaffirming its financial forecast of total revenues of $235 to
$255 million and net income of $20 to $30 million.
Total
revenue for 2010 is expected to be driven by, among other things:
|
·
|
the
continuation of deliveries of BioThrax®
under the current multi-year procurement contract with
CDC;
|
|
·
|
additional
sales of BioThrax®
to allied foreign governments; and
|
|
·
|
an
increase in the performance of work under contracts with the U.S.
government with respect to the Company’s BioThrax®
related programs, anthrax immune globulin therapeutic candidate, and
anthrax monoclonal antibody
candidate.
