BRIDGEWATER, N.J., March 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Impax Laboratories, Inc. (NASDAQ: IPXL), today announced fourth quarter and full year 2017 financial results.

Fourth Quarter 2017

    --  Total revenues in the fourth quarter 2017 were $182.9 million, a
        decrease of 7.8%, compared to $198.4 million in the prior year period
        due to a decrease in sales of generic products, partially offset by an
        increase in sales of specialty products.
    --  GAAP net loss was $301.1 million or a loss of $4.18 per share for the
        fourth quarter 2017, compared to a loss of $279.6 million or a loss of
        $3.91 per share in the prior year period. The fourth quarter of 2017
        includes $230.7 million of non-cash intangible asset impairment charges
        on a few currently marketed and in-development generic products
        primarily due to competition, and a $74.1 million impairment charge
        associated with the sale of the Taiwan manufacturing facility. The
        fourth quarter of 2016 includes non-cash intangible asset impairment
        charges of $253.9 million due to competition and product
        discontinuations primarily related to certain products acquired in the
        Company's acquisition of Tower Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries in March
        2015 (the "Tower Acquisition").
    --  Adjusted net income was $7.6 million or $0.11 per share in the fourth
        quarter 2017, compared to $11.6 million or $0.16 per share in the prior
        year period, primarily due to lower generic product revenue. Refer to
        the attached "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of all
        GAAP to non-GAAP items.
    --  EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)
        was a loss of $274.8 million in the fourth quarter 2017, compared to a
        loss of $234.0 million in the prior year period, primarily as a result
        of the charges noted above. Adjusted EBITDA was $33.1 million, compared
        to $37.3 million in the prior year period.

Full Year 2017

    --  Total revenues for the full year 2017 were $775.8 million, a decrease of
        5.9%, compared to $824.4 million in the prior year due to a decrease in
        sales of generic products, partially offset by an increase in sales of
        specialty products.
    --  GAAP net loss was $469.3 million or a loss of $6.53 per share for the
        full year 2017, compared to a loss of $472.0 million or a loss of $6.63
        per share in the prior year, primarily a result of the items noted
        above. The full year 2017 GAAP results include $289.7 million of
        non-cash intangible asset impairment charges on a few currently marketed
        and in- development generic products primarily due to competition, and a
        $74.1 million impairment charge associated with the sale of the Taiwan
        manufacturing facility. The GAAP results for 2016 include non-cash
        intangible asset impairment charges of $541.6 million related to certain
        products acquired from Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. and
        affiliates of Allergan plc in August 2016 (the "Teva Transaction") and
        from the Tower Acquisition.
    --  Adjusted net income was $45.2 million or $0.63 per share for the full
        year 2017, compared to $83.7 million or $1.16 per share in the prior
        year, primarily due to lower generic product revenue caused by buyer
        consolidation and additional competition. Refer to the attached
        "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of all GAAP to
        non-GAAP items.
    --  EBITDA for the full year 2017 was a loss of $303.8 million, compared to
        a loss of $453.0 million in the prior year, primarily as a result of the
        charges noted above. Adjusted EBITDA was $149.8 million, compared to
        $200.4 million in the prior year.

"2017 was a year of transition for Impax," said Paul Bisaro, President and Chief Executive Officer of Impax. "Throughout the year we successfully executed on our Path Forward growth strategy. We continued to build momentum in our Specialty Pharma franchise which delivered strong sales growth of Rytary(®) with an increase of 24% over 2016. Our Generics franchise, facing a challenging generic market environment, worked hard to mitigate the impact of those challenges on our business. "

"We also completed our operational and cost improvement program nearly one year ahead of schedule," continued Bisaro. "Key highlights included the sale of our Taiwan manufacturing subsidiary for $18.5 million, completing the closure of our Middlesex, New Jersey R&D and packaging facility, and completing our product optimization strategies across our generic portfolio. These actions are expected to generate run-rate savings of approximately $85 million."

"We made significant progress in preparing for our combination with Amneal Pharmaceuticals. Integration planning teams are finalizing key Day 1 plans to ensure business continuity following the close of the transaction. We remain excited about the value of this combination, which will create a more diversified company with one of the industry's leading high-value generic product pipelines. We are currently on track to close the transaction in the second quarter of 2018 and expect to provide combined company full year 2018 guidance after the close of the transaction."

Fourth Quarter 2017

Total revenues for the Generics division in the fourth quarter 2017 were $112.9 million, a decrease of 18.9%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease compared to the prior year period was primarily due to revenue reductions from increased competition on a few key products including diclofenac sodium gel, budesonide, fenofibrate and metaxalone, partially offset by higher revenue from epinephrine auto-injector and new product launches.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter 2017 was a loss of 33.5%, compared to a loss of 126.7% in the prior year period, primarily due to significantly lower impairment charges during the fourth quarter 2017. Adjusted gross margin in the fourth quarter 2017 declined to 31.3%, compared to 32.8% in the prior year period, primarily due to product sales mix.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter 2017 were $175.1 million, compared to $35.6 million in the prior year period, primarily due to significantly higher in-process research and development impairment charges as a result of either delays in the anticipated launch or additional competition on a few products acquired in the Teva Transaction. The Company also incurred fixed asset impairment charges related to the planned closure of the Middlesex, New Jersey manufacturing facility, which the Company subsequently sold in early 2018. The increase was partially offset by a change in the fair value of contingent consideration for generic Concerta® based on the Company's review of the anticipated timing and probability of the products launch and an assessment of the number of competitors expected in the market.

Full Year 2017

Total revenues for the Generics division for the full year 2017 were $549.1 million, a decrease of 9.4%, over the prior year. The decrease compared to the prior year was primarily due to increased competition on diclofenac sodium gel, metaxalone, generic Adderall XR® and fenofibrate. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenues from epinephrine auto-injector, budesonide and other products acquired as part of the Teva Transaction compared to the prior year.

Gross margin for the full year 2017 was a loss of 0.5%, compared to a loss of 45.4% in the prior year, primarily due to lower impairment charges during 2017. Adjusted gross margin for the full year 2017 declined to 38.1%, compared to 39.3% in the prior year, primarily due to product sales mix.

Total operating expenses for the full year 2017 were $262.5 million, compared to $111.1 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to in-process research and development impairment charges and fixed assets impairment charges, partially offset by a change in the fair value of contingent consideration, as noted above, compared to the prior year.

Fourth Quarter 2017

Total revenues for the Specialty Pharma division in the fourth quarter 2017 were $70.0 million, an increase of 18.2%, compared to the prior year period, driven by higher revenue from Rytary(®), Zomig(®) and the anthelmintic products franchise.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter 2017 was 71.9%, compared to 25.7% in the prior year period, primarily due to impairment charges in the fourth quarter 2016 for which there were no comparable amounts in the fourth quarter of 2017. Adjusted gross margin in the fourth quarter 2017 was 80.0%, compared to 79.3% in the prior year period, primarily due to product sales mix.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter 2017 were $97.0 million, compared to $32.7 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to fixed asset impairment charges associated with the Company's entry into an agreement with a third party to sell its Taiwan subsidiary and Taiwan operations, partially offset by lower in-process research and development impairment charges, compared to the prior year period. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter 2017 increased compared to the prior year period due to restructuring and severance-related charges as a result of a reorganization within the division.

Full Year 2017

Total revenues for the Specialty Pharma division for the full year 2017 were $226.7 million, an increase of 3.9% over the prior year. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to higher revenue from Rytary, partially offset by lower sales of our anthelmintic products franchise and Zomig.

Gross margin for the full year 2017 was 64.6%, compared to 56.9% in the prior year primarily due to impairment charges in 2016 for which there were no comparable amounts in 2017. Adjusted gross margin for the full year 2017 was 75.4%, compared to 80.0% in the prior year, primarily due to product sales mix.

Total operating expenses for the full year 2017 were $164.0 million, compared to $112.1 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to fixed asset impairment charges, partially offset by lower in-process research and development impairment charges, as noted above, compared to the prior year.

Fourth Quarter 2017

General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter 2017 were $37.1 million, compared to $34.4 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher business development expenses partially offset by lower restructuring and severance related charges.

General and administrative expenses for the full year 2017 were $120.0 million, compared to $119.9 million for the full year 2016.

Interest expense, net for the full year 2017 was $53.4 million, an increase of $13.0 million compared to the prior year, due to the $400.0 million Term Loan Facility entered into by the Company in the third quarter 2016 to finance the Teva Transaction.

    Adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cost of revenues, adjusted research and development expenses and adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses are not measures of financial performance under
     generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as substitutes for, or superior to, GAAP net loss, GAAP net loss per diluted share, GAAP cost of revenues, GAAP research and development expenses and GAAP selling, general and
     administrative expenses as a measure of financial performance. However, management uses both GAAP financial measures and the disclosed non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company's operations and to better understand its business.
     Further, management believes the addition of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplementary information to, and facilitates analysis by, investors in evaluating the Company's financial performance, results of operations and trends. The Company's
     calculations of adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted cost of revenues, adjusted research and development expenses and adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, may not be comparable to similarly
     designated measures reported by other companies, since companies and investors may differ as to what type of events warrant adjustment.

                   Non-GAAP Financial Measures


    (a)              Reflects amortization of intangible
                     assets from the portfolio of products
                     acquired from Teva Pharmaceuticals
                     Industries Ltd. and affiliates of
                     Allergan plc (the "Teva Transaction")
                     in August 2016 and from the acquisition
                     of Tower Holdings, Inc. and its
                     subsidiaries in March 2015 (the "Tower
                     Acquisition").

    (b)              Related to non-cash accretion of debt
                     discount attributable to deferred
                     financing costs associated with the
                     $400.0 million term loan facility (the
                     "Term Loan Facility") to finance the
                     Teva Transaction and the $600.0 million
                     of outstanding 2% convertible senior
                     notes, as well as bifurcation of the
                     conversion option of the convertible
                     notes.

    (c)              Business development expenses are
                     professional fees primarily related to
                     the Teva Transaction and the proposed
                     combination with Amneal Pharmaceuticals
                     that the Company announced in the
                     fourth quarter of 2017.

    (d)              The Company recognized $186.7 million of
                     impairment charges on in process
                     research and development (IPR&D)
                     product rights in the fourth quarter
                     2017, primarily related to two products
                     acquired in the Teva Transaction,
                     resulting from delays in launch and
                     increased competition. The Company
                     additionally incurred $44.0 million of
                     fourth quarter impairment charges on
                     two marketed products acquired in the
                     Teva Transaction and Tower Acquisition,
                     due to increased competition and
                     related price erosion.

    (e)              During the fourth quarter 2017, the
                     Company recorded fixed asset impairment
                     charges of $79.7 million primarily
                     related to the Taiwan and Middlesex,
                     New Jersey facilities. Sales of both
                     the Taiwan and Middlesex facilities
                     were completed during the first quarter
                     2018.

    (f)              During the fourth quarter 2017, the
                     Company increased the estimated
                     receivable due from Turing
                     Pharmaceuticals AG ("Turing") by $1.3
                     million to reflect additional estimated
                     Medicaid rebate claims due from Turing.

    (g)              The Company recorded a charge in the
                     fourth quarter 2017 for legal fees
                     incurred as a result of the Company's
                     litigation against Turing alleging
                     breach of the terms of the Turing Asset
                     Purchase Agreement in the Company's
                     sale of Daraprim(R) resulting from
                     Turing's failure to reimburse the
                     Company for chargebacks and Medicaid
                     rebate liability.

    (h)              During the fourth quarter 2017, the
                     Company recorded restructuring,
                     severance and other plant-related
                     charges of $13.5 million related to the
                     closure of its manufacturing, packaging
                     and R&D operations at the Middlesex,
                     New Jersey site as well as charges
                     related to the reorganization of its
                     Specialty Pharma division.

    (i)              During the fourth quarter 2017, the
                     Company recorded a gain on the sale of
                     an ANDA related to the Company's
                     Middlesex, New Jersey facility.

    (j)              During the fourth quarter 2017, the
                     Company recorded an approximate $6.2
                     million charge related to an
                     unfavorable supply agreement associated
                     with its exit of the Middlesex site.

    (k)              Represents the reduction in contingent
                     consideration liability related to a
                     product acquired in the Teva
                     Transaction. Based on timing and
                     probability of product launch, and
                     number of competitors expected in the
                     market, the Company concluded that fair
                     value of the contingent consideration
                     was zero at December 31, 2017.

    (l)              Adjusted income taxes are calculated by
                     tax effecting adjusted pre-tax income
                     at the applicable effective tax rate
                     that will be determined by reference to
                     statutory tax rates in the relevant
                     jurisdiction in which the Company
                     operates and includes current and
                     deferred income tax expense
                     commensurate with the non-GAAP measure
                     of profitability.
