Emergent BioSolutions Reports Financial Results for Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2011
ROCKVILLE, Md., Nov 03, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) —
Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) announced today its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Total revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were $58.8 million and $165.4 million, respectively. Net income for the third quarter 2011 was $1.5 million, or $0.04 per basic share. For the first nine months of 2011, the Company realized a net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.16 per basic share. The Company also reaffirmed its 2011 guidance for total revenues of $270 to $290 million and net income of $15 to $25 million.
R. Don Elsey, chief financial officer of Emergent BioSolutions, commented, “During the quarter, we continued to execute on our operating plan. We manufactured and delivered doses of BioThrax into the SNS, we advanced the development of our infectious disease, oncology and autoimmune programs, and we made progress on Building 55 scale up. In addition, we received an award for the supply of 44.75 million doses of BioThrax to the SNS over the next five years, with a total value of up to 1.25 billion dollars. This clearly underscores the government’s continued commitment to procure BioThrax as a critical medical countermeasure in the US strategic national stockpile.”
3Q and First Nine Months of 2011 Key Financial Results
Product Sales
For 3Q 2011, product sales were $43.7 million, a decrease of $23.6 million, or 35 percent, from $67.3 million in 3Q 2010, due to a 38 percent decrease in the number of doses of BioThrax delivered due primarily to decreased production yield in the period in which the doses were produced. Product sales revenues for 3Q 2011 included BioThrax sales to HHS of $43.6 million.
For the nine month period of 2011, product sales were $120.7 million, a decrease of $41.3 million, or 25 percent, from $162.0 million in the comparable period of 2010, primarily due to a 29 percent decrease in the number of doses of BioThrax delivered due to the redeployment of potency testing capacity from BioThrax release testing to qualification of replacement reference standards and other development testing during the first quarter of 2011, coupled with decreased production yield in the period in which the doses were produced. Product sales revenues for the nine month period of 2011 included BioThrax sales to HHS of $119.4 million.
Contracts and Grants Revenues
For 3Q 2011, contracts and grants revenue was $15.1 million, an increase of $8.4 million, or 125 percent, from $6.7 million in 3Q 2010. For the nine month period of 2011, contracts and grants revenue was $44.7 million, an increase of $23.8 million, or 114 percent, from $20.9 million in the comparable period of 2010. The increase in contracts and grants revenue was primarily due to revenues from our contract from BARDA for large-scale manufacturing for BioThrax and our collaborations with Abbott and Pfizer, along with increased activity and associated revenue from our other development contracts with NIAID and BARDA.
Cost of Product Sales
For 3Q 2011, cost of product sales was $10.7 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 7 percent, from $11.5 million in 3Q 2010. For the nine month period of 2011, cost of product sales was $27.8 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 8 percent, from $30.1 million in the comparable period of 2010. For both periods, the decrease was attributable to the reduced number of doses of BioThrax delivered, largely offset by an increase in the cost per dose sold associated with decreased production yield in the period in which the doses were produced.
Research and Development
For 3Q 2011, research and development expenses were $29.2 million, an increase of $8.1 million, or 38 percent, from $21.2 million in 3Q 2010. This increase primarily reflects higher contract service and personnel-related costs, and includes increased expenses of $4.5 million for product candidates and technology platform development activities that are categorized in the biosciences segment, increased expenses of $2.0 million for product candidates categorized in the biodefense segment, and increased expenses of $1.5 million in other research and development.
For the nine month period of 2011, research and development expenses were $95.5 million, an increase of $35.8 million, or 60 percent, from $59.7 million in the comparable period of 2010. This increase primarily reflects higher contract service and personnel-related costs, and includes increased expenses of $30.8 million for product candidates and technology platform development activities that are categorized in the biosciences segment, increased expenses of $3.1 million categorized in the biodefense segment, and increased expenses of $1.9 million in other research and development.
Selling, General and Administrative
For 3Q 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses were $17.4 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 16 percent, from $20.7 million in 3Q 2010. This decrease is primarily due to decreased professional services, including legal and other fees incurred in 2010 related to the Trubion acquisition.
For the nine month period of 2011, general and administrative expenses were $56.0 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 3 percent, from $54.5 million in the comparable period of 2010. This increase is primarily due to $2.2 million in restructuring charges related to the Company’s UK operations.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents combined with investments at September 30, 2011 was $128.8 million compared to $171.0 million at December 31, 2010. Additionally, at September 30, 2011, the accounts receivable balance was $49.0 million, as compared to $39.3 million at December 31, 2010. The accounts receivable balance for both periods is comprised primarily of unpaid amounts due related to shipments of BioThrax accepted by the US government.
2011 Forecast
For the full year 2011, the Company is reaffirming its financial forecast of total revenues and net income. The Company anticipates total revenues of $270 to $290 million and net income of $15 to $25 million.
