SAGENT PHARMACEUTICALS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS

-Conference Call Today at 9:00 a.m. CDT-

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., May 13, 2011 – Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGNT) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 and provided a corporate update.

“The company has already made tremendous progress so far in 2011 as we grew our revenues by more than 250 percent year-over-year and completed our initial public offering in April, pricing at the high end of the range, increasing the number of primary shares offered by 15%, and had our underwriters exercise their overallotment option for an additional 15% of the offering,” said Jeffrey M. Yordon, chief executive officer, founder, and chairman of the board of Sagent. “We expect the funds used from our recently completed initial public offering to be used to support the forthcoming launches of the 45 products represented by the 79 ANDAs that have been recently approved or are pending approval by the FDA, to more rapidly expand our development pipeline and for general corporate purposes.”

Recent Accomplishments

 

   

Priced its initial public offering on April 19, 2011 and began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under the trading symbol “SGNT” on April 20, 2011. Net proceeds from Sagent’s initial public offering were approximately $95.5 million.

 

   

Announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval and the launch of four presentations of midazolam injection, USP, a general anesthetic. Midazolam is offered in latex-free vials.

First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

Net revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $30.3 million, an increase of $21.7 million, or 251%, compared to $8.6 million in the first quarter of 2010. The launch of 31 new codes or presentations of 11 new products since March 2010 contributed $14.2 million, or 65%, of the net revenue increase for the first quarter. Gross profit for the first quarter of 2011 was $4.6 million, or 15.1% of net revenues, compared to $0.3 million, or 3.4% of net revenues, in the first quarter of 2010.


Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2011 were $8.0 million, compared with $7.4 million for the same period in 2010. Product development expense for the first quarter totaled $2.4 million compared to $2.8 million in the first quarter 2010. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the first quarter 2011 totaled $5.0 million compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter 2010, the increase due primarily due to increases in headcount and corporate infrastructure to support Sagent’s initial public offering and revenue growth. SG&A comprised 16.4% and 48.2% of net revenue in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue reflects the benefit of anticipated sales growth over Sagent’s relatively fixed and in-place selling and administrative infrastructure.

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2011 totaled $32.6 million, and working capital totaled $40.9 million. This does not include the net proceeds of approximately $95.5 million generated from our initial public offering that was completed in April 2011.
