Unilife Corporation Announces Financial Results

For Fiscal Year 2014 Third Quarter

York, PA (May 12, 2014) Unilife Corporation (“Unilife” or “Company”) (NASDAQ:UNIS; ASX: UNS), a developer and supplier of injectable drug delivery systems, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, (“the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2014” or “Current Quarter”).

Recent Highlights

 

    Generated $22.6 million in cash receipts from customers during the first nine months of Fiscal Year 2014. $10.9 million in cash receipts was generated during the Current Quarter.

 

    Entered into a $60 million debt financing with an affiliate of OrbiMed (“OrbiMed”) in March 2014. $40 million was received by Unilife upon closing. Provided the Company is in compliance with the terms of the agreement, two additional tranches of $10 million each will be provided to Unilife in December 2014 and June 2015.

 

    Deferred revenue increased by $8.3 million to $18.4 million as of March 31, 2014. Deferred revenue reflects the difference between cash receipts from customers and recognized revenue. Deferred revenue will be recognized in future periods, in accordance with the appropriate milestones or amortization schedules.

 

    Revenue for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 was $1.4 million. $2.7 million in revenue which was anticipated to be recognized during the Current Quarter has instead already been recognized in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 based on the timing of the receipt of certain documentation. This $2.7 million will be incremental to the anticipated revenue recognized for the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.

 

    Management expects Fiscal Year 2014 recognized revenue to be in the range of $12 million to $15 million.

 

    As of March 31, 2014, Unilife was generating cash receipts from ten ongoing customer programs, including several programs relating to the Company’s wearable injector platform.

 

    Continued scale-up of manufacturing in preparation for the start of commercial sales of one of the products from the Unifill® platform in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, and two other products from the Unifill platform in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2015.

Mr. Alan Shortall, Chairman and CEO of Unilife, commented: “This has been another strong quarter for Unilife, where we continue to execute on existing and new customer agreements. Our financial position continues to improve as we increase our cash receipts, expand our base of customers, narrow our loss and strengthen the balance sheet. In addition to generating cash receipts from ten ongoing customer programs, we secured a $60 million debt financing with one of the world’s most reputable healthcare investors.


“We have a clear pathway to profitability based on existing customization and supply agreements secured to-date. I expect a strong finish for Fiscal Year 2014 as we continue to expand customer relationships, and scale-up manufacturing in the lead-up to the start of commercial sales for three separate products from the Unifill platform of prefilled syringes during the first two quarters of Fiscal Year 2015,” Mr. Shortall said.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Revenue for the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 was $1.4 million, compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2013. Revenue of $2.7 million that was anticipated to be recognized during the Current Quarter has instead already been recognized in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 based on the timing of the receipt of certain documentation. This $2.7 million will be incremental to the anticipated revenue recognized for the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2014.

Revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was $8.1 million, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2013.

Deferred revenue increased by $8.3 million to $18.4 million as of March 31, 2014.

The Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was $15.1 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to a net loss of $14.1 million, or $0.17 per share, for the same period in 2013. Adjusted net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was $11.7 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to $9.4 million, or $0.12 per share, for the same period in 2013. This increase in adjusted net loss is primarily attributable to increased investment in R&D. Adjusted net loss excludes non-cash share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and interest expense.

Unilife reported $39.7 million of total cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, as of March 31, 2014.

Fiscal 2014 Outlook

Management expects FY 2014 recognized revenue to be in the range of $12 million to $15 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, you should not place undue reliance on any such


forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events and developments to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and those described from time to time in other reports which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

U.S. securities laws require that when we publish any non-GAAP financial measure, we disclose the reason for using the non-GAAP measure and provide reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income (loss) calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and interest expense.

Management believes the presentation of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share provides useful information because these measures enhance its own evaluation, as well as investor’s understanding, of the Company’s core operating and financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) is included in the attached table.
