Imprimis Pharmaceuticals Announces Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMMY), an ophthalmology-focused pharmaceutical company, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2017.
Second Quarter 2017 and Recent Financial Highlights:
-- Revenue of $6.9 million, up 40% year over year
-- Net income of $1.5 million, or $0.07 per share of common stock (basic)
-- Gross margin of 52%
-- Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(1.9) million
-- Gross ophthalmology-related revenue of $4.7 million, up over 70% year
over year
-- $5.7 million gain recorded related to spin-off and deconsolidation of
Eton Pharmaceuticals
-- In July, closed on a $16 million term loan with SWK Holdings and its
partners, and retired previous $13M loan agreement
Mark L. Baum, CEO of Imprimis stated, "I am pleased to report that this second quarter was our first ever quarter of recorded net income. We made measurable progress in growing revenues, increasing margins and lowering our cash loss. Our expenses have stabilized and we are beginning to see returns from investments made in our production capabilities during prior periods. In our core ophthalmology business, we have continued to expand our market share and after having personally been on the road recently in Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada - speaking to more than 50 of our customers - I am more confident than ever in the unique value our products bring to ophthalmologists, optometrists and their patients. Despite the traditionally slower summer months for ophthalmology, I expect positive trends of revenue growth, market share expansion, margin improvement and expense stabilization to continue for the balance of this year."
Baum continued, "During the second quarter, we exited businesses that were no longer part of our strategic growth plan, grew our core ophthalmology business, continued to see strong and profitable results from our non-ophthalmology business and began to deliver on putting many of the drug formulation assets we own to their highest and best use. Specifically, we completed the successful spin-out of Eton Pharmaceuticals, including a $20M financing and recruiting a dynamic and experienced management team that has a history of success in the pharmaceutical industry. The success of Eton has laid the groundwork for the second of a series of planned spin-out transactions. Our team is working diligently on preparing Surface Pharmaceuticals for investor diligence, which we expect to occur within the next 12 months. I remain hopeful that the market will begin to appreciate the value that we have in Imprimis, and we believe that the increasing value of our core ophthalmology business and transactions like Eton, Surface and others will demonstrate that value."

Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to the company's results of operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which are presented and discussed above, 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 SEC. 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, other 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 adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure, net loss, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 (in thousands):
