LANNETT REPORTS FISCAL 2011 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Philadelphia, PA — February 10, 2011 — Lannett Company, Inc. (NYSE AMEX: LCI) today reported financial results for the fiscal 2011 second quarter and first six months ended December 31, 2010.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2011, net sales rose to $30.0 million, compared with $28.7 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2010. Gross profit increased to $8.4 million from $8.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Research and development expenses decreased to $1.7 million from $2.7 million in the fiscal 2010 second quarter. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses declined to $2.9 million from $4.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Operating income climbed to $3.8 million from $1.3 million in the fiscal 2010 second quarter. Net income attributable to Lannett Company was $2.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with $55,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the prior year second quarter.
In December, the company completed a secondary offering of its common stock for a total of 3,250,000 shares, with net proceeds of approximately $14.9 million. The additional shares issued did not have a significant impact on weighted shares outstanding due to the timing of the offering.
“Our financial performance in the fiscal 2011 second quarter was driven by higher sales of certain key products, notably Oxycodone HCI Oral Solution, Levothyroxine Sodium Tablets, and OB Natal® One Tablets, as well as lower operating expenses,” said Arthur Bedrosian, president and chief executive officer of Lannett. “We continue to be impacted by a dearth of product approvals, due to the FDA backlog. We believe, however, that several drug applications, including our New Drug Application for Morphine Sulfate Oral Solution, will soon be approved, subject to a positive facility inspection by the FDA, which is expected to be completed shortly.”
For the first six months of fiscal 2011, net sales were $55.4 million compared with $60.2 million for the comparable period of fiscal 2010. Gross profit was $14.3 million, compared with $19.6 million for the same period in the prior year. R&D expenses decreased to $3.7 million from $5.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2010. SG&A expenses decreased to $7.5 million from $7.8 million in the same period of the prior year. Net income attributable to Lannett Company was $1.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with $2.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the first half of the prior year.
