PITTSBURGH, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Mylan Inc. (Nasdaq: MYL) today announced its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

·         Total revenues of $5.09 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $4.60 billion for the same prior year period, an increase of 11%

·         On a GAAP basis, diluted EPS of $1.13 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $0.92 for the same prior year period, an increase of 23%

·         Adjusted operating cash flow of $818 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of 30%. On a GAAP basis, cash flow from operating activities of $652 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012

 

Mylan Chief Executive Officer, Heather Bresch commented: "Mylan delivered another outstanding quarter of top- and bottom-line growth, with strong double-digit growth in our Specialty, North America, and Asia Pacific businesses and a return to growth in EMEA.  It is notable that we delivered adjusted diluted EPS for this one quarter in excess of our earnings for all of 2008—the first full year following our Matrix and Merck KGaA generics acquisitions—providing further evidence of our ability to generate optimal organic growth from our global scale and operating leverage.

 

"As a result of this strong operational performance, we again are raising our earnings guidance for 2012 and now expect adjusted diluted EPS of $2.50 to $2.60. Looking to next year, they continue to remain confident in our 2013 adjusted diluted EPS target of $2.75, as well as our longer term target of $6.00 in adjusted diluted EPS in 2018. They look forward to providing detailed guidance for 2013 in conjunction with the announcement of our full year 2012 results. Our continued expected growth will come from a combination of continuing to maximize our existing global platform, executing against our strategic growth drivers, and leveraging our significant financial flexibility to enhance shareholder value."

 

John Sheehan, Mylan's Chief Financial Officer, added: "The third quarter was the best in Mylan's history in terms of operating cash flow and they continue to invest this cash in the future growth drivers of our business by fueling R&D and investing in capital expenditures. As a result of our strong performance so far this year, they now anticipate 2012 adjusted operating cash flow of approximately $1 billion, which is at the very upper end of our previous expectations, and now expect 2012 adjusted free cash flow of approximately $700 million."

 

Financial Results Summary

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, Mylan reported total revenues of $1.81 billion compared to $1.58 billion in the comparable prior year period, an increase of $234.0 million or 14.8%. The effect of foreign currency translation had an unfavorable impact of approximately 5% on total revenues primarily reflecting a stronger U.S. Dollar in comparison to the currencies of the other major markets in which Mylan operates. Translating total revenues for the current quarter at prior year comparative period exchange rates would have resulted in year-over-year growth of approximately $308 million, or 20%.

 

A tabular summary of Mylan's revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is included at the end of this release. Also included at the end of this release are the reconciliations of adjusted financial results to the most closely applicable GAAP financial result.

 

Third party net revenues from Mylan's Generics segment, which are derived from sales in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (collectively, EMEA) and Australia, India, Japan and New Zealand (collectively, Asia Pacific) were $1.50 billion in the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to $1.36 billion in the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $137.4 million, or 10.1%, or an increase of approximately 16% when excluding the unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.

 

Third party net revenues from North America were $831.0 million for the current quarter, compared to $697.0 million for the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $134.0 million, or 19.2%. The increase in third party net revenues was principally due to sales of new products which totaled approximately $258 million in the current quarter. The most significant new product launched in the current quarter was Valsartan and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets USP. This product is the generic version of Novartis' Diovan HCT® Tablets, which are indicated for the treatment of hypertension. The increase in sales from new products was partially offset by lower sales of existing products, including those launched as "new products" in the prior year, principally as a result of lower pricing. The effect of foreign currency translation was insignificant within North America.

 

Third party net revenues from EMEA were $325.6 million for the current quarter, compared to $350.9 million for the comparable prior year period, representing a decrease of $25.3 million, or 7.2%. Foreign currency translation had a negative impact on sales for the current quarter, principally reflecting the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the Euro.  Translating current quarter third party net revenues from EMEA at prior year comparative period exchange rates would have resulted in an increase in third party net revenues of approximately $12 million, or 3%. This increase was principally the result of an increase in revenues in France and Italy of approximately 9% and 17%, respectively.  Partially offsetting these increases was unfavorable pricing in a number of European markets in which Mylan operates as a result of government imposed pricing reductions and competitive market conditions.

 

Third party net revenues from Asia Pacific were $339.2 million for the current quarter, compared to $310.6 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $28.6 million, or 9.2%. However, foreign currency translation had a negative impact on sales for the current quarter, principally reflecting the significant strengthening of the U.S. Dollar versus the Indian Rupee. Excluding the effect of foreign currency, calculated as described above, third party net revenues would have increased by approximately $64 million, or 21%. This increase is primarily driven by higher revenues at Mylan Laboratories Limited (formerly Matrix Laboratories Limited), Mylan's subsidiary in India, as a result of increased sales of antiretroviral finished dosage form generic products, which are used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and an increase in sales of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). In addition, local currency revenues in Japan were favorably impacted by higher volumes. Offsetting these increases was a decline in local currency revenues in Australia, principally as a result of significant government-imposed price cuts in the current year.

 

For the current quarter, Mylan's Specialty segment reported third party net sales of $294.1 million, an increase of $80.1 million, or 37.4%, from the comparable prior year period of $213.9 million. The most significant contributor to Specialty segment revenues continues to be the EPIPEN® auto-injector, sales of which increased as a result of favorable pricing and volume, including growth in the overall market. The EPIPEN® auto-injector is the number one epinephrine auto-injector for the treatment of severe allergic reactions.

 

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was $788.5 million and gross margins were 43.6%. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, gross profit was $658.4 million, and gross margins were 41.8%. Adjusted gross profit, as further defined below, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $940.6 million and adjusted gross margins were 52% as compared to adjusted gross profit of $763.9 million and adjusted gross margins of 48% in the comparable prior year period. The increase in adjusted gross margins was primarily the result of new product introductions in North America and the increase in sales of the EPIPEN® auto-injector, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable pricing on existing products in all regions within our Generics segment.

 

Earnings from operations were $329.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $265.9 million for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted earnings from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $512.7 million as compared to adjusted earnings from operations of $387.6 million in the comparable prior year period. This increase was driven by higher gross profit in the current year, as discussed above, partially offset by increases in research and development costs ("R&D") and selling, general and administrative costs ("SG and A"). R and D increased due primarily to the expenses related to the development of the respiratory and biologics programs as well as the timing of internal and external product development projects. SG and A increased as a result of increased marketing costs in our Specialty segment, and higher employee benefit costs.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012, totaled $76.1 million, compared to $85.8 million for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $61.2 million as compared to adjusted interest expense of $73.2 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease was the result of lower interest expense on variable rate debt instruments primarily due to the refinancing of our credit agreement in November 2011.

 

Other income, net, was $10.9 million in the current quarter compared to $12.1 million in the comparable prior year period. Generally included in other income, net, are foreign exchange gains and losses and interest and dividend income.

 

Net earnings attributable to Mylan Inc. increased $54.6 million, or 34.8%, to $211.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $156.7 million for the prior year comparable period. Adjusted earnings increased $103.5 million or 43.5% to $341.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to adjusted earnings of $237.8 million for the prior year comparable period.

 

EBITDA, which is defined as net income (excluding the non-controlling interest and income from equity method investees) plus income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, was $514.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, and $419.6 million for the comparable prior year period.  After adjusting for certain items as further detailed below, adjusted EBITDA was $567.0 million for the current three-month period and $446.8 million for the comparable prior year period. 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Mylan reported total revenues of $5.09 billion compared to $4.60 billion in the comparable prior year period. Third party net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $5.04 billion compared to $4.58 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $461.7 million, or 10.1%. Revenues were unfavorably impacted by the effect of foreign currency translation, generally reflecting a stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the currencies in other major markets in which Mylan operates. Translating third party net revenues at prior year exchange rates would have resulted in year-over-year growth in third party net revenues, excluding foreign currency, of $633 million, or approximately 14%.

 

Generics third party net revenues were $4.39 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $4.14 billion in the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $249.5 million, or 6.0%, or an increase of approximately 10% when excluding the unfavorable effect of foreign currency translation.

Third party net revenues from North America were $2.45 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $2.12 billion for the comparable prior year period, representing an increase of $332.5 million, or 15.7%. The increase in third party revenues was principally due to sales of new products which totaled approximately $685 million in the current year to date period, partially offset by lower revenues from existing products.

 

Third party net revenues from EMEA were $987.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $1.12 billion for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of $130.8 million, or 11.7%. Excluding the unfavorable effect of foreign currency, calculated as described above, the decrease was approximately $41 million, or 4%. This decrease was the result of unfavorable pricing, due to government imposed reductions and competitive market conditions in a number of European markets in which Mylan operates, partially offset by new product introductions throughout Europe and favorable volume in France, Italy and Spain.

 

In Asia Pacific, third party net revenues were $945.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $897.6 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $47.8 million, or 5.3%. Excluding the unfavorable effect of foreign currency, calculated as described above, the increase was approximately $125 million, or 14%. This increase is primarily driven by higher third party sales at Mylan Laboratories Limited.

 

Specialty reported third party net revenues of $654.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $212.2 million, or 47.9% over the comparable prior year period amount of $442.7 million.  This increase was the result of higher sales of the EPIPEN® auto-injector.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.15 billion and gross margins were 42.3%. For the comparable prior year period, gross profit was $1.92 billion and gross margins were 41.7%. Adjusted gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.52 billion and adjusted gross margins were 50% as compared to adjusted gross profit of $2.20 billion and adjusted gross margins of 48% in the comparable prior year period.

 

Earnings from operations were $834.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $758.1 million for the comparable prior year period.  Adjusted earnings from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $1.28 billion as compared to adjusted earnings from operations of $1.11 billion in the comparable prior year period. This increase was driven by higher gross profit in the current year, as discussed above, partially offset by increases in R and D and SG and A. R and D increased due primarily to the expenses related to the development of the respiratory and biologics programs as well as the timing of internal and external product development projects. SG and A increased as a result of increased marketing and employee benefit costs, including increased costs for retirement and post-employment programs.

 

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, totaled $234.1 million, compared to $254.8 million for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $182.9 million as compared to adjusted interest expense of $218.0 million in the comparable prior year period.

 

Other income, net, for the current nine-month period was $13.1 million compared to $22.5 million in the comparable prior year period.

 

Net earnings attributable to Mylan Inc. increased $71.6 million, or 17.6%, to $478.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $407.3 million for the prior year comparable period. Adjusted earnings increased $153.1 million, or 23.0%, to $819.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to adjusted earnings of $666.7 million for the prior year comparable period.

 

EBITDA was $1.27 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and $1.17 billion for the comparable prior year period.  After adjusting for certain items as further discussed below, adjusted EBITDA was $1.43 billion for the current nine month period and $1.27 billion for the comparable prior year period.

 

Cash Flow

Adjusted cash provided by operating activities was $818 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $627 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in adjusted cash provided by operating activities was principally the result of an increase in profitability. On a GAAP basis, cash provided by operating activities was $652 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $426 million for the comparable prior year period. Capital expenditures were approximately $160 million in the current year as compared to approximately $168 million in the same prior year period.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Mylan is disclosing non-GAAP financial measures when providing financial results. Primarily due to acquisitions, Mylan believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). In addition to disclosing its financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, Mylan is disclosing certain non-GAAP results that exclude items such as amortization expense and other costs directly associated with the acquisitions as well as certain other expense, revenue and operating cash flow items in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the company's financial performance, because the company's management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. In addition, the company believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA pursuant to our credit agreement is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate the company's ability to comply with financial debt covenants (which are calculated using a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA) and assess the company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. Whenever Mylan uses such a non-GAAP measure, it will provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most closely applicable GAAP measure set forth below and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
