Imprimis Pharmaceuticals Announces Preliminary Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial Results

 

Revenue growth continues in 2016 with unit sales of core ophthalmology formulations expected to
double in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of 2015

 

San Diego, CA — March 3, 2016 — Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMMY), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel compounded drug therapies, today announced certain preliminary unaudited results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Total estimated revenue for the fourth quarter of 2015 increased by over 500% between years to $3.5 million, from $0.55 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2014. Full year 2015 estimated revenues increased by over 450% between years to $9.7 million, compared to $1.66 million reported in 2014. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter 2015 is expected to be a loss of between $2.5 million and $2.9 million. For the fourth quarter of 2015, the company expects to report a net loss of between $4.7 million and $5.1 million, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million for the same period in 2014. The company expects to report a net loss for the full 2015 year of between $15.5 million and $15.9 million, compared to $10.1 million in 2014. The fourth quarter of 2015 net loss includes expenses connected to the company’s new Folcroft, Pennsylvania facility, the launch of its sinus business and certain non-recurring expenses.

 

Imprimis intends to register its Texas and New Jersey facilities with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as outsourcing facilities, which is expected to occur near the end of the first quarter of 2016 for the Texas facility and before the end of the second quarter of 2016 for the New Jersey facility.

 

Mark L. Baum, CEO of Imprimis, stated, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter estimated results and have seen our growth continue and accelerate in the first quarter of 2016. We are already off to a great start this quarter and expect unit sales of our core ophthalmology formulations to nearly double in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. Other key lines of business are also experiencing growth and we expect they will further accelerate once we register our Texas and New Jersey facilities with the FDA and avail ourselves of the competitive advantages of Section 503B of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act. We believe positive revenue trends should persist throughout 2016 and beyond as we execute on our operational goals, integrate new efficient systems and processes, and begin our march towards profitability.”

 

The company plans to announce its complete audited fourth quarter and full year 2015 financial results in a press release and conference call on or about March 23, 2016, the details of which will be announced in a separate press release. As the company has not yet completed its preparation and review of its consolidated financial statements for the fourth quarter or year ended December 31, 2015, the information reported in this press release is preliminary and is subject to the completion of such financial statements and their audit by the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

 

   

 

 

ADJUSTED EBITDA ESTIMATE

 

In addition to the company’s results of operations determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP), such as revenue and net loss, management also utilizes adjusted EBITDA, an unaudited financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the company’s financial results and performance and to plan and forecast future periods. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a “non-GAAP” financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management believes that this non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of the company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting its business. Management believes adjusted EBITDA provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the company’s performance because (i) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making; (ii) it excludes the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the company’s core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the company’s core operating performance; and (iii) it is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the company’s results. However, adjusted EBITDA and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures used by the company and the manner in which they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the company’s competitors.

 

The company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding the effects of interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, other income (expense) and, if any and when specified, non-recurring income or expense items. The company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to adjusted EBITDA is net loss. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered as an alternative to gross profit or net loss as a measure of operating performance or to net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of ability to meet cash needs.

 

The following is a reconciliation of estimated adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss, for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

 

Net loss  $ (4,700) to (5,100)
Stock-based compensation   1,120 
Depreciation   80 
Amortization   90 
Interest (income) expense, net   430 
Income taxes   - 
Other (income) expense, net   - 
Non-recurring expense(1)   440 
Adjusted EBITDA  $ (2,540) to (2,940)

 

 

(1) Non-recurring expense items included certain transactional expenses and expenses related to restructuring the company’s sales and marketing efforts, including severance expenses.
