PAR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER 2012 RESULTS


Reports Q2 2012 Adjusted Cash EPS of $1.62; GAAP $1.38 per Share


Results Driven by Modafinil Launch


Woodcliff Lake, N.J., August 2, 2012– Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. (NYSE:PRX) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.


For the second quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported total revenues of $294.3 million and income from continuing operations of $51.3 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, which includes amortization expenses and certain transaction costs. On an adjusted cash basis (non-GAAP measure), which excludes amortization and transaction costs, income from continuing operations was $60.3 million, or $1.62 per diluted share for the second quarter 2012.  (Refer to attached reconciliation table between GAAP and adjusted non-GAAP amounts.)


Second Quarter Highlights

Key Product Sales (Net sales comparisons at the product level are to first quarter 2012.)

·

Modafinil:  Net sales for modafinal were $57.5 million in the second quarter.  Par launched the product on April 6, 2012.

·

Metoprolol:  For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, net sales of metoprolol succinate were $49.0 million compared to $61.8 million in the first quarter 2012.  The decrease was driven by non-recurrence of first quarter customer buying patterns.  Par Pharmaceutical, the Company’s generic drug division, is the authorized generic for all strengths of AstraZeneca’s Toprol XL®.

·

Budesonide EC:  Net sales for budesonide EC in the second quarter 2012 were $33.5 million compared to $38.0 million in the first quarter 2012.  The decrease was driven by non-recurrence of first quarter customer buying patterns.  Par Pharmaceutical is the authorized generic for AstraZeneca’s Entocort® EC.

·

Propafenone Hydrochloride ER:  Net sales for propafenone hydrochloride ER in the second quarter were $17.9 million compared to $19.1 million in the first quarter 2012. Par Pharmaceutical remained the exclusive supplier of generic Rythmol SR® throughout the second quarter.

·

Sumatriptan:  Net sales of sumatriptan succinate were $13.9 million in the second quarter compared to $16.7 million in the prior quarter.  The decrease was driven by a reduction in customer orders in anticipation of Par’s exit from the market in the third quarter.

·

Bupropion Hydrochloride ER:  Net sales of bupropion were $12.0 million in the second quarter 2012.  Par recorded $11.4 million of net sales in the first quarter.






 

·

Zolpidem Tartrate:  Net sales of zolpidem tartrate of $5.3 million in the second quarter 2012.  Par recorded $6.9 million of net sales in the first quarter. The reduction in sales was the result of a small decline in net pricing resulting from customer mix.

·

Fentanyl Citrate Lozenges:  Net sales for fentanyl for the second quarter were $2.6 million compared to $2.0 million in the first quarter.  The increase is due to customer buying patterns.

·

Other Generic Products:  For the second quarter 2012, net sales from all other generic products were $81.3 million. This compares to first quarter net sales of $95.3 million. The decline was primarily due to the seasonality of the Chlorpheniramine/Hydrocodone product.

·

Megace® ES:  Net sales were $14.2 million for the second quarter compared to $12.2 million in the first quarter.  The increase was due to non-recurrence of unfavorable first quarter customer buying patterns.  

·

Nascobal® B12 Nasal Spray:  Net sales were $5.4 million for the second quarter compared to $5.9 million in the first quarter.  The decrease was due to the timing of customer orders, despite higher prescription volume.


Revenues and adjusted gross margin for the second quarter 2012 were $294.3 million and $156.0 million, respectively, compared to $271.5 million in net sales and $110.7 million in adjusted gross margin during the prior quarter (Q1 2012). The adjusted gross margin rate on the Company’s consolidated product portfolio was 53.0% versus 40.8% in the first quarter 2012, with this increase driven by the launch of modafinil.  (Par is now presenting non-GAAP gross margin on an adjusted basis. See detailed reconciliation table at the end of this press release.)

Operating Expenses

On a GAAP basis, total operating expenses fell during the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the prior quarter as follows:


·

Research and development expenses were $20.7 million in the second quarter 2012 compared to $29.9 million in the first quarter 2012.  The decrease was due primarily to a one-time upfront development payment in the first quarter.


·

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter 2012 decreased to $39.7 million compared to $42.2 million in the first quarter.


Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities aggregate balance as of June 30, 2012 was $261.0 million.









Product and Pipeline Update

In July, Par Formulations Private Limited, (formerly Edict Pharmaceuticals Private Limited), received its first USFDA approval for Labetalol HCl Tablets 100 mg, 200 mg & 300 mg, the generic version of Trandate®.  Par anticipates the product to be available in August. Par Pharmaceutical acquired Edict Pharmaceuticals, based in Chennai, India, in February 2012.


Par Pharmaceutical, along with third-party partners, currently has approximately 72 ANDAs pending with the FDA, 23 of which it believes to be first-to-file opportunities.


Subsequent Event

On July 14, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Sky Growth Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Sky Growth Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).  The Agreement provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).


Parent and Merger Sub are beneficially owned by affiliates of TPG Capital, L.P. and were formed solely for the purposes of executing the Agreement and facilitating the Merger.  The Agreement provides for a purchase price of approximately $1.9 billion for our fully diluted equity.  We expect this transaction to close, subject to customary conditions, before the end of 2012.  Some of the customary conditions to closing include obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock and the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.


Under the Agreement, we may solicit superior proposals from third parties through August 24, 2012.  Parent has certain termination rights that could require us to pay Parent a termination fee of $24 million or $48 million, if and as applicable, based on the circumstances of the termination, plus in each case up to $7 million in Parent’s expenses.  We also have certain termination rights in certain circumstances.


On July 14, 2012, in conjunction with our execution of the Agreement, we modified our Rights Agreement dated as of October 27, 2004, with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Rights Agreement”), to render the Rights Agreement inapplicable to the Agreement and the Merger and to cause the Rights Agreement to terminate immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.


For more information about the Merger, the Agreement and our modification of the Rights Agreement, please see our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed July 16, 2012.

Non-GAAP Measures

Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. (“the Company”) believes it prepared its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company’s results and to provide a meaningful period-over-period comparison of the Company’s financial performance, the Company sometimes uses non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The differences between the U.S. GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled in attached schedules.  In presenting comparable results, the Company discloses non-GAAP financial measures when it believes such measures will be useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s underlying business performance.  Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s financial performance against internal budgets and targets.  In addition, management internally reviews the Company’s results excluding the impact of certain items, as it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful for evaluating the Company’s core operating results and facilitating comparison across reporting periods.  Importantly, the Company believes non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, U.S. GAAP financial measures.  The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
