Overview
Albany Molecular Research, Inc. is a leading global contract research and manufacturing organization providing customers fully integrated drug discovery, development, and manufacturing services. We supply a broad range of services and technologies supporting the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products, the manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“API”) and drug product for new and generic drugs, as well as research, development and manufacturing for the agrochemical and other industries. With locations in the United States, Europe, and Asia, AMRI maintains geographic proximity to our customers and flexible cost models.
Our Capabilities
The problem-solving abilities of our scientists can provide added value throughout the drug discovery, development and manufacturing processes. We perform services and offer solutions in drug discovery, chemical development, pharmaceutical development, and manufacturing of API, pharmaceutical intermediates, and drug product for many of the world’s leading healthcare companies. Our comprehensive suite of services allows our customers to contract with a single partner, eliminating the time and cost of transitioning projects among multiple vendors.
Industry Overview and Trends
We believe that market trends in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries demonstrate an increasing emphasis towards outsourcing, as companies seek to reduce internal resources in favor of variable models that offer high quality and higher accountability alternatives to meet their drug discovery, development and manufacturing needs. We believe that ongoing announcements from many large pharmaceutical companies regarding their reorganization plans and strategy changes point to outsourcing as an increasingly important and strategic part of future R&D and manufacturing efforts. We also believe that announcements from several pharmaceutical companies regarding regulatory scrutiny of their manufacturing facilities, and in some instances, closure or divestiture of these facilities, provide opportunities for AMRI to benefit from increased outsourcing of API and drug product manufacturing services.
Business Strategy
AMRI is uniquely positioned in the marketplace to provide a competitive advantage to a diverse group of customers. Our reputation of providing the highest quality service on a global basis with a variety of pricing options provides companies with the security of sourcing discovery, development, small and large-scale manufacturing projects seamlessly across our global network of research and manufacturing facilities. We have a comprehensive portfolio of service offerings ranging from early stage discovery through formulation and manufacturing across the U.S., Europe and Asia. We believe our services, products and geographic mix will allow us to increase multi-year strategic relationships and enhance our revenue growth with a variety of customers. We have divided our business into three segments and have taken many actions to provide for both revenue growth and increased profitability across the discovery and early development, API and drug product manufacturing service offerings. Our strategy to accomplish this includes the following:
| · | Enhance revenue growth and mix |
Market trends continue to point to outsourcing as an increasingly important part of business strategies for our customers across the discovery, development and API and drug product manufacturing areas, including both generic and branded products. We believe our ability to offer an integrated service model, which also allows customers to use a combination of our U.S., Europe and Asia-based facilities, will result in an increase in demand for our services globally. We also offer our customers the option of insourcing, a strategic relationship that embeds AMRI scientists into customer's facilities, allowing them to access AMRI’s expertise while cost-effectively leveraging their unused laboratory space.
We also continue to focus our efforts on other important customer segments: generic and specialty pharmaceutical companies, small and large biotech companies, non-profit/government entities and related industries such as the agricultural, nutraceutical and food industries. We believe maintaining a balance within our customer portfolio between large pharmaceutical, non-profit/government, biotech and other companies will help ensure sustained sales and reduce concentration risk.
| 4 |
We have made investments to grow our API and Drug Product businesses in areas that have either higher growth opportunities, or are differentiated and have high barriers to entry. Within our API business, we are expanding our portfolio of controlled substances, an area where there are high regulatory standards and a limited number of suppliers. We also believe our injectable Drug Product business has significant potential in the marketplace, driven by the growth in biologically based compounds which are formulated and manufactured on an aseptic basis.
| · | Streamline operations to improve margins |
The cost base of our manufacturing and research facilities is largely fixed in nature. However, we continue to seek opportunities to minimize these fixed costs, with a focus on gaining flexibility and improving efficiency, cost structure and margin.
During 2014, we transitioned our Discovery and Development Services (“DDS”) activities from Syracuse, NY to other sites across our services network and optimized our Singapore facility’s footprint. In February 2015, we announced our proposal to close our Holywell, Wales site subject to consultation with our UK workforce. This site provides chemical development services and small- and large-scale manufacturing services of API. These actions taken, combined with previous actions at our Hungary and Bothell, WA facilities, are consistent with our ongoing efforts to consolidate facilities to more effectively utilize our discovery and development resource pool and to further reduce our facility cost structure.
| · | Maximize licensing/partnering of compounds and services to enhance future cash flow |
Although we suspended substantial investments and halted proprietary compound R&D activities in 2011, we continue to believe there are opportunities to partner our proprietary compounds and expand our generic development programs to create value, as we have seen a renewed interest by pharmaceutical companies for innovation both internally and through licensing. Our goal is to partner these programs in return for a combination of up-front license fees, milestone payments and recurring royalty payments if compounds are successfully developed and reach the market.
| · | Acquisitions |
We may consider additional acquisitions that enhance or complement our existing service offerings. In addition to growing organically, any acquisitions would generally be expected to contribute to AMRI’s growth by integrating with and expanding our current services, or adding services within the drug discovery, development and manufacturing life cycle.
Business Development
Significant Business Developments
We have recently entered into the following business development transactions that impacted our results of operations and will continue to have an impact on our future operations.
SSCI
On February 13, 2015 we completed the purchase of assets and assumed certain liabilities of Aptuit's SSCI/West Lafayette (“SSCI”), Ind. business for a total consideration of $36.0 million, including $3.6 million of assumed liabilities. SSCI has an industry-leading reputation for solving difficult drug substance and formulated drug product challenges and is considered an expert in solid-state chemistry and analytical services. SSCI brings extensive material science knowledge and technology and expands our capabilities in analytical testing to include peptides, proteins and oligonucleotides.
Glasgow
On January 9, 2015 we completed the purchase of all of the outstanding equity interests of Aptuit's Glasgow (“Glasgow”), UK business for a total consideration of $24.0 million. The Glasgow facility will extend our capabilities to include sterile injectable drug product formulation and clinical stage manufacturing, providing customers a single source to address their sterile fill/finish needs from formulation complete to commercial supply. Additionally, having a Glasgow base of operations provides AMRI with an expanded footprint and customer base in Europe for our parenteral offerings, furthering one of our strategic goals.

Oso Biopharmaceuticals
On July 1, 2014, we completed the purchase of all of the outstanding equity interests of Oso Biopharmaceuticals Manufacturing, LLC (“OsoBio”), a contract manufacturer of highly complex injectable drug products for an aggregate purchase price of $109.2 million. The addition of OsoBio provides AMRI with commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities for highly complex injectable drug products. With the addition of OsoBio, AMRI offers customers a single source to address their sterile fill/finish needs, from discovery and development through to commercial supply.
Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals
On April 4, 2014, we completed the purchase of all of the outstanding shares of Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cedarburg”), a contract developer and manufacturer of technically complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API’s”) for both generic and branded customers, for an aggregate purchase price of $39.0 million. The transaction is consistent with AMRI’s strategy to be the preeminent supplier of custom and complex drug development services and product to both the branded and generic pharmaceutical industry.
Business Segments
We have organized our business into three distinct segments: Discovery and Development Services (“DDS”), API and Drug Product. Our DDS segment provides comprehensive services from hit identification to investigational new drug (“IND”), including drug lead discovery, library design and synthesis, synthetic and medicinal chemistry, in vitro biology and pharmacology, lead optimization, chemical development, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics and small-scale commercial manufacturing. API includes pilot to commercial scale manufacturing of API, including intermediates and high potency and controlled substance manufacturing. Drug Product includes formulation through commercial scale production of complex liquid-filled and lyophilized parenteral formulations. See “Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information on our business segments.
DDS Segment
We have the capabilities and expertise to provide services and solutions from standalone activities to fully integrated drug discovery program support. We do this by leveraging our global team of scientists across multiple disciplines and providing our customers with experienced project management from employees with decades of real world discovery and development experience.
Discovery
We offer a full portfolio of comprehensive services from target identification tools to IND enabling activities. These services and solutions consist of, expertise with diverse chemistry library design and synthesis, medicinal chemistry, biology and pharmacology, including a full suite of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics that includes biotransformation and biocatalysis capabilities.
In close partnership with New York State, we are the anchor partner in establishing a translational drug discovery center on the Buffalo Niagara Medical School campus in Buffalo, NY. Working with other key partners in academia and industry, we are creating a North American hub for industry, government and academic collaborations that will provide unique services and solutions to the drug discovery community. This facility, which will come on-line in the second quarter of 2015, will offer a variety of routine as well as leading edge drug discovery platforms in an integrated setting. In partnership with The SUNY Polytechnic Institute (formerly known as the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at the State University of New York (CNSE-SUNY)) we will manage the operations of this translational center. Equipment & facilities have been purchased and are owned by The SUNY Polytechnic Institute.
Chemical Development
We provide expertise in a full array of chemical development technologies to promote the best overall solutions for route development from late lead optimization to commercial manufacturing. Processes developed for small-scale production of a compound may not be scalable or efficient for larger scale production. The benefits provided by our Chemical Development efforts include improved cost efficiency, new intellectual property, improved process safety and sustainability. Comprehensive and collaborative consideration of these synthetic options allows these benefits to be recognized early in the development and progression of both proprietary and generic APIs, and to accelerate development timeframes.
| 6 |
With chemical development locations co-located with our manufacturing facilities around the globe, we have become a top choice for an increasing number of bio-pharmaceutical companies seeking a partner for the rapid advancement of their drug candidates. Customers throughout the world rely on our proven technical and analytical expertise, commitment to the highest quality and regulatory standards, flexibility, and strong customer focus to advance their clinical candidate compounds through the drug development process, from bench to commercial production.
Analytical Services
We provide broad analytical chemistry services for drug discovery, pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. With years of industry experience, state-of-the-art technologies and instrumentation, along with close collaboration with synthesis chemists, our analytical services are designed to ensure that the right tools are used to solve even the most difficult problem.
Our recently acquired SSCI business provides extensive capabilities in analytical services, a critical support function for pharmaceutical development, current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”) API and drug product manufacturing. Servicing more than 250 customers, SSCI has an industry-leading reputation for solving the most difficult drug substance and formulated drug product issues and are experts in the field of solid-state chemistry and analytical services. SSCI also provides state-of-the-art spectroscopic and microscopy expertise and extends our capabilities in analytical testing to include peptides, proteins and oligonucleotides.
API Segment
Our manufacturing facilities are strategically situated in various locations in the United States, Europe and Asia. These locations are integrated with our discovery and pharmaceutical development services and are globally positioned to provide tailored customer solutions and enable the efficient and cost-effective transfer of pre-clinical, clinical and commercial APIs from small-scale to large-scale production.
We provide chemical synthesis and manufacturing services for our customers in accordance with cGMP regulations. All facilities and manufacturing techniques used for prescribed steps in the manufacture of products for clinical use or for sale in the United States must be operated in conformity with cGMP guidelines and regulations as established by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). We have production facilities and quarantine and restricted access storage necessary to manufacture quantities of API sufficient for conducting clinical trials from Phase I through commercial scale, based on volume and other parameters. We have special capabilities in high value-added areas of pharmaceutical development and manufacturing. Cytotoxic and other highly potent compounds present a number of potential challenges in their production and handling and we have extensive experience in the cGMP production of these types of compounds, from grams to hundreds of kilograms per year. Additionally, several of our facilities are licensed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to produce scheduled controlled substances.
Leveraging our wide array of API development and manufacturing capabilities, we have established a growing portfolio of APIs. Our portfolio can generally be classified into two categories: (i) new proprietary API for which we have a semi-exclusive development and/or supply relationship with a customer; and (ii) generic or non-proprietary API which we develop and license and supply to customers in return for manufacturing revenue and, for certain products, royalty payments for commercialized drug products. As of December 31, 2014, we had agreements in place to manufacture and supply 50 commercial APIs for customers. Our API pipeline included: (i) 2 products pending commercial launch; and (ii) approximately 63 additional APIs under development. We will continue to expand our generic, non-proprietary API portfolio both through internal development and through in-licensing or acquisitions.
| 7 |
Drug Product Segment
We have become the preferred choice for an ever increasing number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies seeking a partner for the rapid advancement of their drug candidates. We provide state-of-the-art facilities and capabilities to deliver integrated pharmaceutical drug development programs and services, including process R&D, pre-formulation and formulation development, GLP bioanalytical and separation sciences. Working in close collaboration with our established chemical synthesis, analytical development and preformulation groups, we offer formulation development services for solid dosage, solution, suspension, topicals and injectables, cGMP early clinical phase capsules filling and cGMP early clinical powder in bottle for solution and suspension.
We also provide cGMP contract manufacturing services in sterile syringe and vial filling using specialized technologies including lyophilization. We provide these services for both small molecule drug products and biologicals, from small batch manufacturing to commercial scale. As of December 31, 2014, we had agreements in place to manufacture and supply 14 commercial drug products for customers. Our drug product pipeline includes approximately 41 products under development with customers.
Research and Development
Leveraging our wide array of drug development and manufacturing capabilities we conduct research and development (“R&D”) activities at our large-scale manufacturing facilities related to the potential manufacture of new APIs, the development of processes for the manufacture of generic products with commercial potential, and the development of alternative manufacturing processes, with the goal to license these APIs in return for manufacturing revenue and potential downstream royalty payments for commercialized drug products.
Licensing Agreements
Actavis Inc. (“Actavis”) Agreement
We have a long term development and supply agreement with Activis under whichwe supply four amphetamine salts to Actavis. In addition to compensation for the supply of amphetamine salts, we will receive royalties on Actavis’ sales of any finished drug product that incorporates the API, for a period of five years from the date of the first commercial sale of the last product approved for sale by the FDA.
Actavis received FDA approval of its abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”) for generic Adderall XR® on June 25, 2012. Actavis received FDA approval of its ANDA for extended release formulations of dextroamphetamine sulfate on November 30, 2012. Under the Supply Agreement, we will receive royalty payments on sales of both finished drug products, which royalties are expected to continue through 2019.
Genentech Agreement
In January 2011, we entered into a research and licensing agreement with Genentech. Under the terms of the agreement, Genentech received an exclusive license to develop and commercialize multiple potential products from our proprietary antibacterial program. Additionally, we have collaborated with Genentech in a research program with the objective of identifying novel antibacterial agents. The viability of this program is currently under consideration by Genentech, which may or may not result in future payments to us.
Bristol-Myers Squibb Agreement
In October 2005, we licensed the worldwide rights to develop and commercialize potential products from our amine neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor technology and patents identified in one of our proprietary research programs to Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”). In conjunction with the licensing agreement, we received a non-refundable, non-creditable up-front payment of $8.6 million, which included the cancellation of outstanding warrants, and a total of $10.8 million for research and development services in the first three years of the agreement. The agreement also set forth milestone events that, if achieved by these products, would entitle us to non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payments. In 2013, BMS announced the cessation of its commercialization activities regarding the assets under the license. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with BMS as to the disposition of these assets, which may or may not result in future payments to AMRI. From the entry into this agreement through December 31, 2014, we have recorded $15.5 million from achieving certain milestones with BMS.
| 8 |
Sanofi Agreement
In March 1995, we entered into a license agreement with Sanofi. Under the terms of the license agreement, we granted Sanofi an exclusive, worldwide license to any patents issued to us related to certain patent applications. From the beginning of the agreement through December 31, 2014, we have had revenues of $7.4 million in milestone payments and approximately $568.1 million in royalties under this license agreement. Sanofi is obligated under the license agreement to pay ongoing royalties to us based upon its net sales of Allegra/Telfast and generic fexofenadine. Additionally during the fourth quarter of 2008, we entered into an amendment to our licensing agreement with Sanofi to allow Sanofi to sublicense patents related to Allegra and Allegra D-12® to Teva Pharmaceuticals and Barr Laboratories in the United States. Subsequently, Teva Pharmaceuticals acquired Barr Laboratories. As a result of this amendment, we received an upfront sublicense fee from Sanofi of $10.0 million and we will receive royalties from Sanofi on the net sale of products in the United States containing fexofenadine hydrochloride and products containing fexofenadine hydrochloride (generic Allegra) and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (generic Allegra D-12) by Teva Pharmaceuticals through May 2015, along with additional consideration. We are not entitled, however, to receive any additional milestone payments under the license agreement. See “Item 3—Legal Proceedings” for discussion of legal proceedings related to Allegra/Telfast.
Customers
Our customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as government research entities and non-profit organizations, which are a growing segment of our customer base. We also sell, to a more limited extent, to companies who are in the businesses of agriculture, fine chemicals, contract chemical manufacturing, medical devices, and flavoring and cosmetics. For the year ended December 31, 2014, contract revenue from our three largest customers represented 13%, 10% and 6%, respectively, of our contract revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2013, contract revenue from our three largest customers represented 15%, 9% and 5%, respectively, of our contract revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2012, contract revenue from our three largest customers represented 15%, 12% and 7%, respectively, of our contract revenue. In each of these years, our largest customer was GE Healthcare. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on geographic and other customer concentrations.
Our backlog of open manufacturing orders and accepted service contracts was $159.7 million at December 31, 2014, as compared to $114.3 million at December 31, 2013. Our manufacturing and services contracts are completed over varying durations, from short to extended periods of time, which may be as long as several years.
We believe our aggregate backlog as of any date is not necessarily a meaningful indicator of our future results for a variety of reasons. First, contracts vary in duration, and as such the timing and amount of revenues recognized from backlog can vary from period to period. Second, our manufacturing and services contracts are of a nature that a customer may, at its option, cancel or delay the timing of delivery, which would change our projections concerning the timing and extent to which revenue may be recognized. In addition, the value of our services contracts that are conducted on a time and materials or full-time equivalent basis are based on estimates, from which actual revenue generated could vary. Finally, there is no assurance that projects included in backlog will not be terminated or delayed at any time by customers or regulatory authorities. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to realize all or most of the net revenues included in backlog or estimate the portion to be filled in the current year.
Sales and Marketing
Our services are sold primarily by our dedicated sales personnel and senior management. Because our customer contacts are often highly skilled scientists, we believe our use of technical experts in the sales effort has allowed us to establish strong customer relationships. We market our services directly to customers through targeted mailings, meetings with senior management of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, maintenance of an extensive Internet web site, participation in trade conferences and shows, and advertisements in scientific and trade journals. We also receive a significant amount of business from customer referrals and through expansion of existing contracts.
| 9 |
Employees
As of December 31, 2014, we had 1,668 employees. Of these employees, 510 are at our international facilities. Our U.S. large-scale manufacturing hourly work force has 90 employees who are subject to a collective bargaining agreement with the International Chemical Workers Union. A 3-year collective bargaining agreement was signed in January 2014 with the union and expires in January 2017. Additionally, we have 51 union employees at our large-scale manufacturing facility at AMRI India that are covered by two collective bargaining agreements. One agreement expires in April 2015 and the other expires in March 2016. None of our other employees are subject to any collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relations with our employees and the unions to be good.
Competition
While a small number of larger outsourcing service providers have emerged as leaders within the industry, the outsourcing market for pharmaceutical and biotechnology contract research, development and manufacturing remains fragmented. We face competition based on a number of factors, including size, relative expertise and sophistication, quality, costs and speed. In many areas of our business we also face foreign competition from companies in regions with lower cost structures. We compete with contract research companies, contract drug manufacturing companies, research and academic institutions and with the internal research departments of biotechnology companies. We have also historically competed with internal research departments of large pharmaceutical companies; recently, however, competition in this area has declined, as these companies have downsized their internal organizations.
We rely on many internal factors that allow us to stay competitive and differentiate us in the marketplace, including:
| § | Our globalization of both research and manufacturing facilities, which allows us to increase our access to key global markets, |
| § | Our ability to offer a flexible combination of high quality, cost-effective services, |
| § | Our comprehensive service offerings, which allow us to provide our customers a more efficient transition of experimental compounds through the research, development and manufacturing process, ultimately reducing the time and cost involved in bringing these compounds from concept to market. |
Patents and Proprietary Rights
Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain and enforce patents, protect trade secrets, obtain licenses to technology owned by third parties when necessary, and conduct our business without infringing the proprietary rights of others. The patent positions of pharmaceutical, medical products and biotechnology firms can be uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We seek patent protection with respect to products and processes developed in the course of our activities when we believe such protection is in our best interest and when the cost of seeking such protection is justifiable. We cannot be assured that any AMRI patent applications will result in the issuance of patents or, if any patents are issued, whether they will provide significant proprietary protection or commercial advantage, or will not be circumvented by others. In the event a third party has also filed one or more patent applications for inventions which conflict with one of ours, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention, which could result in the loss of any opportunity to secure patent protection for the inventions and the loss of any right to use the inventions. Even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us, these proceedings could result in substantial cost to us. The filing and prosecution of patent applications, litigation to establish the validity and scope of patents, assertion of patent infringement claims against others and the defense of patent infringement claims by others can be expensive and time consuming. We cannot be certain that in the event that any claims with respect to any of our patents, if issued, are challenged by one or more third parties, a court or patent authority ruling on such challenge will determine that such patent claims are valid and enforceable. An adverse outcome in such litigation could cause us to lose exclusivity afforded by the disputed rights. If a third party is found to have rights covering products or processes used by us, we could be forced to cease using the technologies covered by such rights, could be subject to significant liability to the third party, and could be required to license technologies from the third party. Furthermore, even if our patents are determined to be valid, enforceable, and broad in scope, we cannot be certain that competitors will not be able to design around such patents and compete with us and our licensees using the resulting alternative technology.
We have been issued various United States and international patents covering fexofenadine HC1 and certain related manufacturing processes, with most of these patents covered by our license agreements with Sanofi, described herein. These United States patents began to expire in November 2013, and the international patents begin to expire in 2014. Additionally, our United States patents related to substituted biaryl purines as potent anticancer agents and a series of aryl and heteroaryl tetrahydroisoquinolines related to central nervous system indications begin to expire in 2020.
| 10 |
Many of our current contracts with our customers provide that ownership of proprietary technology developed by us in the course of work performed under the contract is vested in the customer, and we retain little or no ownership interest.
We also rely upon trade secrets and proprietary know-how for certain unpatented aspects of our technology. To protect such information, we require all employees, consultants and licensees to enter into confidentiality agreements limiting the disclosure and use of such information. We cannot provide assurance that these agreements provide meaningful protection or that they will not be breached, that we would have adequate remedies for any such breach, or that our trade secrets, proprietary know-how and technological advances will not otherwise become known to others. In addition, we cannot provide assurance that, despite precautions taken by us, others have not and will not obtain access to our proprietary technology. Further, we cannot be certain that third parties will not independently develop substantially equivalent or better technology.
Government Regulation
The manufacture, transportation and storage of our products are subject to certain international, Federal, state and local laws and regulations. Our future profitability is indirectly dependent on the sales of pharmaceuticals and other products developed by our customers. Regulation by governmental entities in the United States and other countries will be a significant factor in the production and marketing of any pharmaceutical products that may be developed by us or our customers. The nature and the extent to which such regulation may apply to us or our customers will vary depending on the nature of any such pharmaceutical products. Virtually all pharmaceutical products developed by us or our customers will require regulatory approval by governmental agencies prior to commercialization. Human pharmaceutical products are subject to rigorous preclinical and clinical testing and other approval procedures by the FDA and by foreign regulatory authorities. Various federal and, in some cases, state statutes and regulations also govern or influence the manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of such pharmaceutical products. The process of obtaining these approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal and foreign statutes and regulations are time consuming and require the expenditure of substantial resources.
Generally, in order to gain FDA or foreign regulatory approval of a drug product, several years of studies and regulatory filings and review must occur, including laboratory studies, IND filing, several years of clinical trials, NDA filings, and FDA and foreign regulatory authority marketing approval. Even if regulatory clearances are obtained, a marketed product is subject to continual review. Later discovery of previously unknown problems or failure to comply with the applicable regulatory requirements may result in restrictions on the marketing of a product or withdrawal of the product from the market as well as possible civil or criminal sanctions. For marketing outside the United States, we will also be subject to foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials and marketing approval for pharmaceutical products. The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country.
All facilities and manufacturing techniques used for prescribed steps in the manufacture of API and drug product for clinical use or for sale in the United States must be operated in conformity with cGMP guidelines as established by the FDA and International Conference on Harmonization. Our facilities are subject to unscheduled periodic regulatory inspections to ensure compliance with cGMP regulations. Failure on our part to comply with applicable requirements could result in the termination of ongoing research or the disqualification of data for submission to regulatory authorities. A finding that we had materially violated cGMP requirements could result in additional regulatory sanctions and, in severe cases, could result in a mandated closing of our facilities or significant fines, which would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
Our manufacturing and research and development processes involve the controlled use of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials and substances. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of such materials, including radioactive compounds and certain waste products. Additionally, we are subject to various laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices and emissions and wastewater discharges. Although we believe that our activities currently comply with the standards prescribed by such laws and regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be eliminated.
All of our manufacturing facilities in U.S. and EU have undergone FDA or Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) inspections within the last 24 months. For those inspections, we have received GMP certificates for all MHRA inspections, and did not receive any Official Action Indicated (“OAI”) from the FDA.

Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in this Form 10-K. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below, as well as those discussed elsewhere herein.
Failure to manage the business to consistent profitability without Allegra and other royalties will have a significant impact on operations and stock value.
The recurring royalties we receive on the sales of Allegra/Telfast have historically provided a material portion of our revenue, earnings and operating cash flows. Recently, we have begun to receive royalties on the sales of other products. We continue to develop our business and manage our operating costs in order to be in a position to maintain a business that can operate profitably as these royalties decrease significantly in 2015 and then cease upon expiration of the underlying patents. Recurring royalties have significantly higher margins than do our other business activities, resulting in the need to replace a significant amount of margin in order to achieve the same level of profitability. We have added revenue generating businesses that are expected to produce consistent and growing revenue and profit over time and have taken certain cost cutting steps in order to right size the business operations to support the profitability that is achievable from our core contract research and manufacturing businesses. In the future, we may need to take additional cost cutting measures if our revenues do not continue to increase or are not profitable enough to support our operations. In addition, if we are not able to increase operating revenue and decrease operating costs in order to replace Allegra and other royalty income, there will be a material and adverse impact on our business, including negative impacts on our operating cash flow, access to capital and ability to implement required capital improvements to our facilities.
If we fail to meet strict regulatory requirements, we could be required to pay fines or even close our facilities.
All facilities and manufacturing techniques used to manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug product in the United States must conform to standards that are established by the FDA. The FDA conducts unscheduled periodic inspections of our facilities to monitor our compliance with regulatory standards. If the FDA finds that we fail to comply with the appropriate regulatory standards, it may impose fines on us or, if the FDA determines that our non-compliance is severe, it may close our facilities. Any adverse action by the FDA or other applicable regulatory bodies could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
If we are not successful in selecting and integrating the businesses and technologies we acquire, or in managing our current and future divestitures, our business may suffer.
During the past few years, we have expanded our business through acquisitions. We plan to continue to acquire businesses and technologies and form strategic alliances. However, businesses and technologies may not be available on terms and conditions we find acceptable. We risk spending time and money investigating and negotiating with potential acquisition or alliance partners, but not completing transactions.
Even if completed, acquisitions and alliances involve numerous risks which may include:
| · | difficulties and expenses incurred in assimilating and integrating operations, services, products or technologies; |
| · | challenges with identifying, successfully acquiring, developing and operating new businesses, including those which may be materially different from our existing businesses and which may require the development or acquisition of new internal capabilities and expertise; |
| · | diversion of management's attention from other business concerns; |
| · | potential losses resulting from undiscovered liabilities of acquired companies that are not covered by the indemnification we may obtain from the seller; |
| · | acquisitions could be dilutive to earnings, or in the event of acquisitions made through the issuance of our common stock to the shareholders of the acquired company, dilutive to the percentage of ownership of our existing shareholders; |
| · | loss of key employees; |
| 13 |
| · | risks of not being able to overcome differences in foreign business practices, customs and importation regulations, language and other cultural barriers in connection with the acquisition of foreign companies; |
| · | risks that disagreements or disputes with prior owners of an acquired business, technology, service or product may result in litigation expenses and diversion of our management's attention; |
| · | integration and support of preexisting supplier, distribution and customer relationships; |
| · | the presence or absence of adequate internal controls and/or fraud in the financial systems of acquired companies; |
| · | difficulties in achieving business and financial success including spending time and money investigating and negotiating with potential targets that may not be completed; and |
| · | new technologies and products may be developed which cause businesses or assets we acquire to become less valuable. |
In the event that an acquired business or technology or an alliance does not meet our expectations, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Some of the same risks exist when we decide to exit or sell a business, site, or product line. In addition, divestitures could involve additional risks, including the following:
| · | difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel; and |
| · | the need to agree to retain or assume certain current or future liabilities in order to complete the divestiture. |
We continually evaluate the performance and strategic fit of our businesses and operating facilities. Any divestitures may result in significant write-offs, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may encounter difficulty in finding buyers or alternative exit strategies at acceptable prices and terms and in a timely manner. We may not be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that we encounter in divesting a business, site or product line, and as a result, we may not achieve some or all of the expected benefits of the divestiture.
We may experience disruptions in or the inability to source raw materials to support our production processes or to deliver goods to our customers.
We rely on independent suppliers for key raw materials, consisting primarily of various chemicals. We generally use raw materials available from more than one source and do not enter into long-term contracts for such materials. We could experience inventory shortages if we were required to use an alternative manufacturer on short notice, which could lead to raw materials being purchased on less favorable terms than we have with our regular supplier. Additionally, we rely on various third-party delivery services to transport both goods from our vendors and finished products to our customers. A disruption in our ability to source or transport materials could delay or halt production and delivery of certain of our products thereby adversely impacting our ability to market and sell such products and our ability to compete.
Our sales forecast and/or revenue projections may not be accurate.
We use a backlog system, a common industry practice, to forecast sales and trends in our business. Our sales personnel monitor the status of proposals, including the date when they estimate a customer will make a purchase decision and the potential size of the order. We aggregate these estimates on a quarterly basis in order to generate a sales backlog. While this process provides us with some guidance in business planning and forecasting, it is based on estimates only and is therefore subject to risks and uncertainties. We believe our aggregate backlog as of any date is not necessarily a meaningful indicator of our future results for a variety of reasons. First, contracts vary in duration, and as such the timing and amount of revenues recognized from backlog can vary from period to period. Second, our manufacturing and services contracts are of a nature that a customer may, at its option, cancel or delay the timing of delivery, which would change our projections concerning the timing and extent to which revenue may be recognized. In addition, the value of our services contracts that are conducted on a time and materials or full-time equivalent basis are based on estimates, from which actual revenue generated could vary. Finally, there is no assurance that projects included in backlog will not be terminated or delayed at any time by customers or regulatory authorities. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to realize all or most of the net revenues included in backlog or estimate the portion to be filled in the current year. Any variation in the conversion of the backlog into revenue or the backlog itself could cause us to improperly plan or budget and thereby adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
| 14 |
We derive a significant percentage of our revenue from a small group of customers. We may lose one or more of our major customers.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, revenues from GE Healthcare represented approximately 13% of our contract revenue, or 11% of our total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2013, revenues from our largest customer represented approximately 15% of our contract revenue, or 13% of our total revenue. Our existing agreement with this customer extends through 2016. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2014 sales to another customer represented approximately 10% of our contract revenue, or 9% of our total revenue. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2013, we provided services to three other major customers, who combined, represent approximately 19% of our contract revenues or 16% of our total revenue. In total, our five largest customers in 2014 represented approximately 34% of our contract revenue and 31% of our total revenue. These customers, along with most of our other customers, typically may cancel their contracts with 30 days’ to two-years’ prior notice, depending on the size of the contract, for a variety of reasons, some of which are beyond our control. If any one of our major customers cancels its contract with us, our contract revenues may materially decrease.
We have a significant amount of indebtedness. We may not be able to generate enough cash flow from our operations to service our indebtedness, we may fail to meet our current credit facility’s financial covenants and we may incur additional indebtedness in the future, which could each adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have a significant amount of indebtedness, including $150.0 million in aggregate principal with additional accrued interest under our Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 and $75.0 million in aggregate principal under our revolving line of credit with three banks. Our ability to make payments on, and to refinance, our indebtedness, and to fund planned capital expenditures, research and development efforts, working capital, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. To a certain extent, this is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or if future borrowings are not available to us in an amount sufficient to pay our indebtedness, including payments of principal upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes or on their maturity or in connection with a transaction involving us that constitutes a fundamental change under the indenture governing the convertible notes, or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the convertible notes, on or before the maturity thereof, sell assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures, seek to raise additional capital or take other similar actions. We may not be able to execute any of these actions on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on our financial condition at the time, the restrictions in the instruments governing our indebtedness and other factors, including market conditions. In addition, in the event of a default under the convertible notes, the holders and/or the trustee under the indentures governing the convertible notes may accelerate the payment obligations under the convertible notes, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, or to refinance or restructure our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would likely have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, our significant indebtedness, combined with our other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could have other important consequences. For example, it could:
| · | make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general U.S. and worldwide economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; |
| · | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; |
| · | place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors who have less debt; and |
| · | limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development efforts, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our business strategy or other purposes. |
| 15 |
Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if we incur additional indebtedness, the risks related to our business and our ability to service or repay our indebtedness would increase. In addition, under our Convertible Senior Notes due 2018, we are required to offer to repurchase the convertible notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, which could include, among other things, any acquisition of us for consideration other than publicly traded securities. The repurchase price must be paid in cash, and this obligation may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing an acquisition of the Company that would otherwise be beneficial to our security holders.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies may discontinue or decrease their usage of our services.
We depend on pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that use our services for a large portion of our revenues. Although there has been a trend among pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to outsource drug research and development functions, this trend may not continue. We have experienced increasing pressure on the part of our customers to reduce expenses, including the use of our services, as a result of negative economic trends generally and more specifically in the pharmaceutical industry.
We may be adversely affected in future periods as a result of general economic and/or pharmaceutical industry downturns which may result in a diminished availability of liquidity in the marketplace. If pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies discontinue or decrease their usage of our services, including as a result of a slowdown in the overall global economy, our revenues and earnings could be lower than we currently expect and our revenues may decrease or not grow at historical rates.
We face increased competition.
We compete directly with the in-house research departments of pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies, as well as contract research companies, and research and academic institutions. We also experience significant competition from foreign companies operating under lower cost structures, primarily those in China and other Asian countries. While we operate in certain lower relative cost jurisdictions, such as India and Singapore, we do not have operations in China. Many of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we have. As new companies enter the market and as more advanced technologies become available, we currently expect to face increased competition. In the future, any one of our competitors may develop technological advances that render the services that we provide obsolete. While we plan to develop technologies, which will give us competitive advantages, our competitors plan to do the same. We may not be able to develop the technologies we need to successfully compete in the future, and our competitors may be able to develop such technologies before we do or provide those services at a lower cost. Consequently, we may not be able to successfully compete in the future.
We may be required to record additional long-lived asset impairment charges.
We review long-lived assets, including goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable based on the existence of certain triggering events.
Factors we consider important which could result in long-lived asset impairment include the following:
| · | a significant change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset group is being used; |
| · | a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset group; and |
| · | a significant decrease in the market value of assets. |
In 2014, we recorded non-cash fixed asset charges of $5,392 in our DDS segment primarily related to our Syracuse, NY and Singapore facilities. Also in 2014, we recorded $2,443 of intangible asset impairment charges related to certain proprietary drug development programs that we will no longer be pursuing.
If long-lived assets are determined to be impaired in the future, we would be required to record a charge to our results of operations.
| 16 |
Agreements we have with our employees, customers, consultants and other third parties may not afford adequate protection for our valuable intellectual property, confidential information and other proprietary information.
Some of the most valuable assets to the company and its customers include patents. In addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovation and licensing opportunities. In an effort to maintain the confidentiality and ownership of our customer’s information, such as trade secrets, proprietary information and other customer confidential information, as well as our own, we require our employees, consultants and advisors to execute confidentiality and proprietary information agreements. However, these agreements may not provide us with adequate protection against improper use or disclosure of confidential information and there may not be adequate remedies in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure. Furthermore, we may from time to time hire scientific personnel formerly employed by other companies involved in one or more areas similar to the activities we conduct. In some situations, our confidentiality and proprietary information agreements may conflict with, or be subject to, the rights of third parties with whom our employees, consultants or advisors have prior employment or consulting relationships. Although we require our employees and consultants to maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary information of their previous employers, these individuals, or we, may be subject to allegations of trade secret misappropriation or other similar claims as a result of their prior affiliations. Finally, others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques causing some technologies that we develop to be patented by other companies. Our failure to protect our proprietary information and techniques may inhibit our ability to compete effectively and our investment in those technologies may not yield the benefits we expected. In addition, we may be subject to claims that we are infringing on the intellectual property of others. We could incur significant costs defending such claims and if we are unsuccessful in defending these claims, we may be subject to liability for infringement. To the extent that we are unable to protect confidential customer information, we may encounter material harm to our reputation and to our business.
We may not be able to effectively manage our international operations.
There are significant risks associated with the establishment of foreign operations, including, but not limited to: geopolitical risks, foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of shifts in the U.S. and local economies on those rates, compliance with local laws and regulations, the protection of our intellectual property and that of our customers, the ability to integrate our corporate culture with local customs and cultures, and the ability to effectively and efficiently supply our international facilities with the required equipment and materials. If we are unable to effectively manage these risks, these locations may not produce the revenues, earnings, or strategic benefits that we anticipate, or we may be subject to fines or other regulatory actions if we do not comply with local laws and regulations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Delays in, or failure of, the approval of our customers’ regulatory submissions could impact our revenue and earnings.
The successful transition of clinical and preclinical candidates into long term commercial supply agreements is a key component of the Drug Product and API business strategy. If our customers do not receive approval of their FDA regulatory submissions, this could have a significant negative impact on our revenue and earnings. In addition, the manufacture of controlled substances requires timely approval by the DEA of sufficient controlled substance quota. If we do not receive sufficient DEA quota to meet our customers’ demands, and/or if our customers do not receive sufficient quota to take delivery of and/or formulate the product at their facilities, this could have a significant negative impact on our revenue and earnings.
We may not be able to recruit and retain the highly skilled employees we need.
Our future growth and profitability depends upon the research and efforts of our highly skilled employees, such as our scientists, and their ability to keep pace with changes in drug discovery and development technologies. We compete vigorously with pharmaceutical firms, biotechnology firms, contract research firms, and academic and research institutions to recruit scientists. If we cannot recruit and retain scientists and other highly skilled employees, we will not be able to continue our existing services and will not be able to expand the services we offer to our customers.
We may lose one or more of our key employees.
Our business is highly dependent on our senior management and scientific staff, including:
| · | William Marth, our Chief Executive Officer and President; |
| · | Felicia Ladin, our Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer; |
| · | Steven R. Hagen, Ph.D., our Senior Vice President, Manufacturing and Pharmaceuticals; |
| · | Lori M. Henderson, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary |
| · | Michael Luther, Ph.D., our Senior Vice President, Discovery; |
| · | Brian D. Russell, our Senior Vice President, Human Resources; and |
| 17 |
| · | George Svokos, our Chief Commercial Officer, Senior Vice President, API |
The loss of any of our key employees, including our scientists, may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We may be held liable for harm caused by drugs that we develop and test.
We develop, test and manufacture drugs that are used by humans. If any of the drugs that we develop, test or manufacture harm people, we may be required to pay damages. Although we carry liability insurance, we may be required to pay damages in excess of the amounts of our insurance coverage. Damages awarded in a product liability action could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
We may be liable for contamination or other harm caused by hazardous materials that we use.
Our manufacturing and research and development processes involve the use of hazardous or potentially hazardous materials and substances. We are subject to Federal, state and local laws and regulation governing the use, manufacture, handling, storage and disposal of such materials, including but not limited to radioactive compounds and certain waste products. Additionally, we are subject to various laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices and emissions and wastewater discharges. Although we believe that our activities currently comply with the standards prescribed by such laws and regulations, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from these materials. We may incur liability as a result of any contamination or injury. In addition, we cannot predict the extent of regulations that might result from any future legislative or administrative actions, therefore we could be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations and these actions could restrict our operations in the future. Such expenses, liabilities or restrictions could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
We completed an environmental remediation assessment associated with groundwater contamination at our Rensselaer, New York location. This contamination is associated with past practices at the facility prior to 1990, and prior to our investment or ownership of the facility. Ongoing costs associated with the remediation include biannual monitoring and reporting to the State of New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Under the remediation plan, we were responsible for payment of monitoring and reporting into 2019. Under a 1999 agreement with the facility’s previous owner, our maximum liability under the remediation is $5.5 million. If the State of New York Department of Environmental Conservation finds that we fail to comply with the appropriate regulatory standards, it may impose fines on us which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our operations may be interrupted by the occurrence of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event at our facilities.
We depend on our laboratories, factories and equipment for the continued operation of our business. Our research and development, manufacturing and all administrative functions are primarily conducted at our facilities in Albany and Rensselaer, New York, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Grafton, Wisconsin, and Burlington, Massachusetts. Although we have contingency plans in effect for natural disasters or other catastrophic events, these events could still disrupt our operations. Even though we carry business interruption insurance policies, we may suffer losses as a result of business interruptions that exceed the coverage available under our insurance policies. Any natural disaster or catastrophic event at any of our facilities could have a significant negative impact on our operations.
Terrorist attacks or acts of war may seriously harm our business.
Terrorist attacks or acts of war may cause damage or disruption to our company, our employees, our facilities and our customers, which could significantly impact our revenues, costs and expenses and financial condition. The potential for terrorist attacks, the national and international responses to terrorist attacks, and other acts of war or hostility have created many economic and political uncertainties, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition in ways that we currently cannot predict.
| 18 |
Domestic governmental policy changes, including health care reform and budgetary policies could reduce the reimbursement rates pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies receive for drugs they sell, which incorporate some of our products, which in turn, could reduce the demand for or amounts that they have available to retain our services.
We depend on contracts with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for a majority of our revenues. We therefore depend upon the ability of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to earn enough profit on the drugs they market to devote substantial resources to the research and development of new drugs. Additionally, we rely on our collaborative partners to obtain acceptable prices or an adequate level of reimbursement for our current and potential future products. Continued efforts of government and third-party payors to contain or reduce the cost of health care through various means, could affect our levels of revenues and earnings. In certain foreign markets, pricing and/or profitability of pharmaceutical products are subject to governmental control. Domestically, there have been and may continue to be proposals to implement similar governmental control. Future legislation may limit the prices pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can charge for the drugs they market and cost control initiatives could affect the amounts that third-party payors agree to reimburse for those drugs. There is no assurance that our collaborative partners will be able to obtain acceptable prices for our products which would allow us to sell these products on a competitive and profitable basis. As a result, such laws and initiatives may have the effect of reducing the resources that pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can devote to the research and development of new drugs. If pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies decrease the resources they devote to the research and development of new drugs, the amount of services that we perform, and therefore our revenues, could be reduced.
The ability of our stockholders to control our policies and effect a change of control of our company is limited, which may not be in every shareholder’s best interests.
There are provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws which may discourage a third party from making a proposal to acquire us, even if some of our stockholders might consider the proposal to be in their best interests. These provisions include the following:
| · | Our certificate of incorporation provides for three classes of directors with the term of office of one class expiring each year, commonly referred to as a “staggered board.” By preventing stockholders from voting on the election of more than one class of directors at any annual meeting of stockholders, this provision may have the effect of keeping the current members of our board of directors in control for a longer period of time than stockholders may desire. |
| · | Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval and to establish the preferences and rights of any preferred stock issued, which would allow the board to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock that could discourage or delay a tender offer or change in control. |
Additionally, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which, in general, imposes restrictions upon acquirers of 15% or more of our stock.
We have renewed a Shareholder Rights Plan, the purpose of which is, among other things, to enhance the Board’s ability to protect shareholder interests and to ensure that shareholders receive fair treatment in the event any coercive takeover attempt of us is made in the future. Under the terms of the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Board can in effect prevent a person or group from acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. Once a shareholder acquires more than 15% of our outstanding Common Stock without Board approval (the “acquiring person”), all other shareholders will have the right to purchase securities from us at a price less than their then fair market value. These subsequent purchases by other shareholders substantially reduce the value and influence of the shares of Common Stock owned by the acquiring person.
Our officers and directors have significant control over us and their interests as shareholders may differ from our other shareholders.
As of February 28, 2015, our directors and officers beneficially owned or controlled approximately 10.4% of our outstanding common stock. Individually and in the aggregate, these stockholders significantly influence our management, affairs and all matters requiring stockholder approval. In particular, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing an acquisition of us and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Our stock price is volatile and could experience substantial change.
The market price of our common stock has historically experienced and may continue to experience volatility. Our quarterly operating results, changes in general conditions in the economy or the financial markets and other developments affecting us or our competitors could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially.
| 19 |
Because we do not intend to pay dividends, our shareholders will benefit from an investment in our common stock only if it appreciates in value.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, the success of our shareholders’ investment in our common stock will depend entirely upon any future appreciation. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which shareholders purchased their shares.
We may experience significant increases in operational costs beyond our control.
Costs for certain items which are needed to run our business, such as energy and certain materials, have the potential to fluctuate. As these cost increases are often dependent on market conditions, and although we do our best to manage these price increases, we may experience increases in our costs due to the volatility of prices and market conditions. Increases in these costs could negatively impact our results of operations to the extent that we are unable to incorporate these increases into the pricing of our goods and services.
Our business may be adversely affected if we encounter complications in connection with our information technology systems and infrastructure. Upgrading and integrating our business systems could result in implementation issues and business disruptions.
We rely to a large extent upon sophisticated information technology systems and infrastructure, with respect to enterprise resource planning, manufacturing, and the storage of business, financial, intellectual property, and other information essential to the effective operation and management of our business. While we have invested significantly in the operation and protection of data and information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions, or identify breaches in our systems. Prolonged interruptions or significant breaches could result in a material adverse effect on our operations. We are planning to replace many of our legacy business systems at certain sites worldwide with an enterprise wide, integrated enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which may occur at a future date based on value to the business. In general, the process of planning and preparing for these types of integrated, wide-scale implementations is extremely complex and we are required to address a number of challenges including data conversion, system cutover and user training. Problems in any of these areas could cause operational problems during implementation including delayed shipments, missed sales, billing and accounting errors and other operational issues. There have been numerous, well-publicized instances of companies experiencing difficulties with the implementation of ERP systems which resulted in negative business consequences.
We are subject to foreign currency risks.
Our global business operations give rise to market risk exposure related to changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices and other market factors. If we fail to effectively manage such risks, it could have a negative impact on our consolidated financial statements. For a further discussion of our foreign currency risks, please see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk”.
A reduction or delay in government funding of research and development may adversely affect our business.
A portion of our overall revenue is derived either from governmental sources directly, such as the U.S. National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), or indirectly, from customers whose funding is partially dependent on both the level and timing of funding from government sources. A reduction in government funding for the NIH or other government research agencies could adversely affect our business and our financial results and there is no guarantee that government funding will be directed towards projects and studies that require use of our services.

Our business is subject to risks relating to operating internationally.
A significant part of our contract revenue is derived from operations outside the U.S. Our international revenues, which include revenues from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, have represented approximately 32%, 40% and 43% of our total contract revenue in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. We expect that international revenues will continue to account for a significant percentage of our revenues for the foreseeable future. There are a number of risks associated with our international business including:
| · | foreign currencies we receive for sales and in which we record expenses outside the U.S. could be subject to unfavorable exchange rates with the U.S. dollar and reduce the amount of revenue and cash flow (and increase the amount of expenses) that we recognize and cause fluctuations in reported financial results; |
| · | certain contracts are denominated in currencies other than the currency in which we incur expenses related to those contracts and where expenses are incurred in currencies other than those in which contracts are priced, fluctuations in the relative value of those currencies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations; |
| · | general economic and political conditions in the markets in which we operate; |
| · | potential international conflicts, including terrorist acts; |
| · | potential trade restrictions, exchange controls, adverse tax consequences, and legal restrictions on the repatriation of funds into the U.S.; |
| · | difficulties and costs associated with staffing and managing foreign operations, including risks of work stoppages and/or strikes, as well as violations of local laws or anti-bribery laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, and the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions; |
| · | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
| · | the difficulties of compliance with a wide variety of foreign laws and regulations; |
| · | unfavorable labor regulations in foreign jurisdictions; |
| · | potentially negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of US and foreign tax laws and particularly any changes in tax laws affecting any repatriation of profits; |
| · | exposure to business disruption or property damage due to geographically unique natural disasters; |
| · | longer accounts receivable cycles in certain foreign countries; and |
| · | import and export licensing requirements. |
These risks, individually or in the aggregate, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. For example, as mentioned above, we are subject to compliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-bribery laws, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. While our employees and agents are required to comply with these laws, we cannot be sure that our internal policies and procedures will always protect us from violations of these laws despite our commitment to legal compliance and corporate ethics. The occurrence or allegation of these types of risks may adversely affect our business, performance, prospects, value, financial condition, and results of operations.
| 21 |
Any claims beyond our insurance coverage limits, or that are otherwise not covered by our insurance, may result in substantial costs and a reduction in its available capital resources.
We maintain property insurance, employer’s liability insurance, product liability insurance, general liability insurance, business interruption insurance, and directors and officers liability insurance, among others. Although we maintain what we believe to be adequate insurance coverage, potential claims including those related to the Albuquerque business interruption event in the third quarter of 2014, may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or may be excluded under the terms of the policy, which could cause an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, in the future we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage or we may be required to pay higher premiums and accept higher deductibles and additional risk to our business and financial condition.

Our Rensselaer, Aurangabad, Holywell, and Grafton facilities are used in our API segment. Our Burlington and Albuquerque facilities are used in our Drug Product segment. All other facilities are used in our DDS segment which includes corporate administration.
We believe these facilities are generally in good condition and suitable for their purpose. We believe that the capacity associated with these facilities is adequate to meet our anticipated needs through 2015.
The Company, from time to time, may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Except as noted below, the Company is not currently a party to any such claims or proceedings which, if decided adversely to the Company, would either individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 12, 2014, a purported class action lawsuit, John Gauquie v. Albany Molecular Research, Inc., et al., No. 14-cv-6637, was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint alleges claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising from the Company’s August 5, 2014 announcement of its financial results for the second quarter of 2014, including that the OsoBio New Mexico facility experienced a power interruption in July 2014, which would have a material impact on the Company’s results. The complaint alleges that the price of the Company’s stock was artificially inflated between August 5, 2014 and November 5, 2014, and seeks certification as a class action, unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs.

The Company has settled all of the pending United States and foreign litigations surrounding the marketing of generic versions of Allegra and Allegra-D products. All of the prior legal proceedings have been settled or resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties and the related litigations have been dismissed by the mutual consent of the parties. The Company, along with Aventis Pharmaceuticals Inc., the U.S. pharmaceutical business of Sanofi, pursued those prior legal proceedings against several companies seeking to market or which are currently marketing generic versions of Allegra and Allegra-D products. In accordance with the Company’s agreements with Sanofi, Sanofi bears the external legal fees and expenses for these legal proceedings, but in general, the Company must consent to any settlement or other arrangement with any third party. Under those same agreements, the Company received royalties from Sanofi and certain approved sub-licensees on U.S. Patent No. 5,578,610 until it expired in November 2013, and will receive royalties on U.S. Patent No. 5,750,703 until its expiration in 2015, unless those patents are earlier determined to be invalid. The Company is also entitled to receive certain royalties from Sanofi and certain approved sub-licensees through mid-2015, unless the relevant patent(s) are earlier determined to be invalid.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, we identified an error in our accounting for income tax expense recorded in fiscal years 2006 to 2013. We assessed the materiality of the error on prior periods’ financial statements and concluded that the error was not material to any of our prior period annual or interim financial statements. We elected to revise previously issued consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we have revised the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 by increasing income tax expense by $912, $484, $1,076, and $219, respectively, resulting in a corresponding decrease in net income and shareholders’ equity for the same periods. For the year ended December 31, 2013 income per basic and diluted share decreased by $0.03. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 loss per basic and diluted share increased by $0.02, $0.03 and $0.01, respectively. We have also revised the consolidated balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010 which resulted in a decrease in the working capital amounts by $4,947, $4,035, $3,551 and $2,475, respectively.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
We are a leading global contract research and manufacturing organization providing customers fully integrated drug discovery, development, and manufacturing services. We supply a broad range of services and technologies supporting the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products, the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and the manufacturing of drug product for new and generic drugs, as well as research, development and manufacturing for the agrochemical and other industries. With locations in the United States, Europe, and Asia, we maintain geographic proximity to our customers and flexible cost models.
We continue to integrate our research and manufacturing facilities worldwide, increasing our access to key global markets and enabling us to provide our customers with a flexible combination of high quality services and competitive cost structures to meet their individual outsourcing needs. Our service offerings range from early stage discovery through formulation and manufacturing. We believe that the ability to partner with a single provider is of significant benefit to our customers as we are able to provide them with a more efficient transition of experimental compounds through the research and development process, ultimately reducing the time and cost involved in bringing these compounds from concept to market. Compounds discovered and/or developed in our contract research facilities can then be more easily transitioned to production at our large-scale manufacturing facilities for use in clinical trials and, ultimately, commercial sales if the product meets regulatory approval.
In addition to providing our customers our hybrid services model for outsourcing, we offer the option of insourcing. With our world class expertise in managing high performing groups of scientists, this option allows us to embed our scientists into the customer’s facility allowing the customer to cost-effectively leverage their unused laboratory space.
As our customers continue to seek innovative new strategies for R&D efficiency and productivity, we are aggressively realigning our business and resources to address their needs. We use a cross-functional approach that maximizes the strengths of both insourcing and outsourcing, by leveraging AMRI’s people, know-how, facilities, expertise and global project management to provide exactly what is needed across the discovery, development or manufacturing process. We have also streamlined our sales and marketing organization to optimize cross-selling opportunities and enhanced our commitment to quality with the appointment of key personnel, both underscoring our dedication to client service. Our improved organizational structure, combined with more focused marketing efforts, should enable us to continue to drive long term growth and profitability.
Over the last few years, we have implemented a number of organizational and rationalization initiatives and acquired new businesses to better align our operations to most efficiently support our customer’s needs and grow our revenue and overall profitability. The goal of these restructuring activities was to advance our strategy of increasing global competitiveness and managing costs by aligning resources to meet shifting customer demand and market preferences, while optimizing our location footprint. Our acquisitions enhance and complement our existing service offerings and are expected to contribute to our growth.
Our total revenue for 2014 was $276.6 million, including $250.7 million from our contract service business and $25.9 million from royalties on sales of Allegra/Telfast and certain products sold by Actavis, Inc (“Actavis”). We generated $1.9 million in cash from operations, and we used $163.3 million for the acquisitions of Cedarburg and OsoBio as well as capital expenditures on our facilities and equipment, primarily related to maintaining and upgrading our U.S. facilities. Our net loss was $3.3 million in 2014, largely due to the impact of property impairment charges related to improving our global footprint, asset impairment charges related to patents associated with certain development programs that will no longer be pursued, restructuring charges related to the closing of the Syracuse, NY facility as well as optimizing the footprint at the Singapore and Hyderabad facilities, and business interruption costs associated with the OsoBio operation. As of December 31, 2014, we had $47.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $160.4 million in bank and other related debt. The largest portion of the cash is an advance from our revolving credit agreement and the largest portion of the debt is a result of an offering of senior convertible notes in the fourth quarter of 2013 and advances under our revolving credit agreement in 2014.

Results of Operations
Operating Segment Data
In the third quarter of 2014, we completed the purchase of OsoBio, a contract manufacturer of injectable sterile liquid, suspension and lyophilized biologic and pharmaceutical products. With the addition of these capabilities, our finished dose manufacturing business has become material to our financial and operational results. As a result, we have realigned the internal operations, management personnel, resources, and financial planning and reporting of our operations, resulting in a change to reportable segments based on the criteria set forth in ASC Topic 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.
Prior to this acquisition, we organized our operations into the Discovery, Development and Small-Scale manufacturing (“DDS”) and Large Scale Manufacturing (“LSM”) segments. The DDS segment remains unchanged and includes activities such as drug lead discovery, optimization, drug development and small scale commercial manufacturing. The LSM segment has been separated into the Large Scale API and Drug Product segments. API includes pilot to commercial scale manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates and high potency and controlled substance manufacturing. Drug Product includes pre-clinical through commercial sale production of complex liquid-filled and lyophilized injectable formulations. Corporate activities include sales and marketing and administrative functions, as well as research and development costs that have not been allocated to the operating segments. Prior period disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.
Contract Revenue
Contract revenue consists primarily of fees earned under manufacturing or service contracts with third-party customers. Our contract revenues for our DDS, API and Drug Product segments were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||
| 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||
| (in thousands) | ||||||||||||
| DDS | $ | 76,736 | $ | 77,418 | $ | 73,458 | ||||||
| API | 144,349 | 125,870 | 111,455 | |||||||||
| Drug Product | 29,619 | 6,713 | 4,945 | |||||||||
| Total | $ | 250,704 | $ | 210,001 | $ | 189,858 | ||||||
DDS contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased from 2013 primarily due to decreases in U.S. chemistry and biology services, partially offset by an increase in U.S. development and small-scale services. We currently expect DDS contract revenue for full year 2015 to increase from amounts in 2014 driven by improved facility utilization at all of our sites as well as incremental revenue from our acquisition of the SSCI/West Lafayette (“SSCI”) business in February 2015.
DDS contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased from 2012 primarily due to increased demand for U.S. chemistry services, offset in part, by a decrease in U.S. biology services.
API contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased from 2013 primarily due to an increase in demand at our existing manufacturing facilities as well as incremental revenue of $9.9 million from the Cedarburg acquisition which we acquired in April 2014. We currently expect continued growth in API contract revenue for full year 2015 due to on-going demand for our commercial and clinical manufacturing services worldwide, and full year revenue from Cedarburg.
API contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased from 2012 as a result of increased commercial manufacturing services at our large-scale facilities worldwide, as well as increases in our clinical supply manufacturing services.
Drug Product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased from 2013 due to $16.7 million in revenue from the acquisition of OsoBio, as well as increased demand at our Burlington facility. We currently expect continued growth in Drug Product contract revenue for full year 2015 due to on-going demand, as well as a full year of revenue from OsoBio and the incremental revenue from our Glasgow, Scotland facility, acquired in January 2015.

Drug Product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased from the same period in 2012 due to increased demand at our Burlington, MA manufacturing facility.
Recurring royalty revenue

The largest portion of our recurring royalties relates to worldwide sales of Allegra/Telfast and Sanofi over-the-counter product and authorized generics. Additionally, beginning in the third quarter of 2012 we have earned recurring royalty revenue in conjunction with a Development and Supply Agreement with Actavis.
Recurring royalties decreased during the year ended December 31, 2014 from 2013 primarily due to the incremental effect of the introduction of generic fexofenadine in Japan. Additionally, there was a decrease in Allegra royalties as a result of patent expirations that began in late 2013, as well as a less severe allergy season in Japan in 2014. We currently expect full year 2015 recurring royalties to decline due to the expiration of the patents underlying the Allegra royalties.
Recurring royalties increased during the year ended December 31, 2013 from 2012 primarily due to incremental Actavis royalties of $4.3 million, offset in part by lower Allegra royalties of $3.7 million.
The recurring royalties we receive on the sales of Allegra/Telfast have historically provided a material portion of our revenues, earnings and operating cash flows. We have been issued various United States and international patents covering fexofenadine HC1 and certain related manufacturing processes. These U.S. patents began to expire in November 2013 and will expire completely in May 2015, after which we will no longer receive royalties with respect to any sales of Allegra.
Milestone revenue
Milestone revenue is earned for achieving milestones included in licensing and research agreements with certain of our partners. Milestone revenues were as follows:

No milestone revenue was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Milestone revenue received during the year ended December 31, 2012 was recognized primarily in conjunction with our license and research agreement with BMS for advancing a fourth compound into preclinical development.
Cost of Contract Revenue
Cost of contract revenue consists of compensation and associated fringe benefits for employees, chemicals, depreciation and other indirect project related costs. Cost of contract revenue for our DDS, API and Drug Product segments were as follows:

DDS contract revenue gross margin percentage increased for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 2013. The increase is primarily due to cost reduction initiatives and facility optimization. We currently expect DDS contract margin percentage for 2015 to improve over amounts recognized in 2014 due to the full year benefit of previous cost reduction initiatives and facility optimization, as well as the expected accretive benefit of the acquisition of SSCI in February 2015.
DDS contract revenue gross margin percentage increased for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 2012. This increase is primarily due to previously announced cost savings initiatives as well as an increase in facility utilization.
API’s contract revenue gross margin percentage decreased for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 2013 due to lower facility utilization as well as an increase in lower margin commercial sales. We currently expect improvement in API contract margins for 2015 driven by an increase in capacity utilization at all of our large-scale facilities worldwide.
API’s contract revenue gross margin percentage improved for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 2012. This increase was primarily due to an increase in sales of higher margin products for our U.S. manufacturing services, as well as increases in capacity utilization at our large-scale manufacturing facilities worldwide.
Drug Product’s contract revenue gross margin percentage increased for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to increases in Burlington revenues in relation to their fixed costs. Drug Product cost of contract revenue includes $6.4 million of business interruption charges at our OsoBio facility which led to a decrease in Drug Product gross contract margin. We currently expect continued improvement in Drug Product contract margins for 2015 driven by continued increases in capacity utilization, expected improvements in gross margin percentages for OsoBio, as well as the expected benefit of the acquisition of the Glasgow business in January 2015.
Technology Incentive Award
In the past, we maintained a Technology Development Incentive Plan, the purpose of which was to stimulate and encourage novel innovative technology developments by our employees. This plan allows eligible participants to share in a percentage of the net revenue earned by us relating to patented technology with respect to which the eligible participant is named as an inventor or made a significant intellectual contribution. To date, the royalties from Allegra are the main driver of the awards. The incentive awards were as follows:

Technology incentive award expense decreased for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the decrease in Allegra recurring royalty revenue as discussed above, and will cease completely upon the expiration of the Allegra royalties.
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) expense consists of compensation and benefits for scientific personnel for work performed on proprietary product and process R&D projects, costs of chemicals, materials, outsourced activities and other related out of pocket and overhead costs.
| 31 |
Our R&D activities are primarily in our API segment and relate to the potential manufacture of new products, the development of processes for the manufacture of generic products with commercial potential, and the development of alternative manufacturing processes.

R&D expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased compared to 2013 relating primarily to development efforts towards new niche generic products and improving process efficiencies in our manufacturing plants. We currently expect 2015 R&D expense to be generally consistent with 2014.
R&D expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 decreased from amounts recognized in 2012 as a result of our previous strategic decision to limit our R&D activities as described above.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist of compensation and related fringe benefits for sales, marketing, operational and administrative employees, professional service fees, marketing costs and costs related to facilities and information services. SG&A expenses were as follows:

| $ | 48,897 | $ | 42,256 | $ | 40,904 | |||||
SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased compared to 2013 primarily due to costs associated with merger and acquisition activities, including the acquisitions of Cedarburg, OsoBio, Glasgow, and SSCI as well as incremental SG&A costs from the acquired businesses. We currently expect SG&A expenses for 2015 to increase due to a full year of operations at our Cedarburg and OsoBio locations, and incremental costs as a result of the acquisitions of Glasgow and SSCI in early 2015.
SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased over amounts recognized in 2012 primarily due to a one-time charge of $1.92 million for the settlement of a U.S. litigation matter. The settlement, which was paid during the third quarter 2013, served to settle the litigation and dismiss all claims between the parties. Additionally, there were certain expenses recognized in 2013 related to strategic executive employment matters and related transition costs. These increases were offset in part by ongoing cost saving activities.

Additionally, we recorded property and equipment impairment charges of $3.7 million in our DDS segment associated with our decision to cease operations at our Syracuse, New York facility.
During 2013, we recorded total long-lived asset impairment charges of $1.9 million in our DDS segment, consisting of property and equipment impairment charges of $1.3 million related to the disposition of certain moveable equipment located at our former Hungary facility and property and equipment impairment charges of $0.6 million associated with our decision to cease operations at our Bothell, Washington facility.
During 2012, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $8.3 million in our DDS segment in order to further optimize our location footprint and cease operations at our Budapest, Hungary and Bothell, Washington facilities.

In the third quarter of 2014, we recorded restructuring charges related to our activities to optimize both the Singapore and Hyderabad facility’s footprint. In the second quarter of 2014, we announced a restructuring plan, transitioning activities at our Syracuse, N.Y. site to other sites within AMRI and we ceased operations in Syracuse at the end of June 2014. The actions taken are consistent with our ongoing efforts to consolidate our facility resources to more effectively utilize our discovery and development resource pool and to further reduce our facility cost structure.
In connection with these activities, we recorded restructuring charges in our DDS operating segment of $3.4 million during 2014. These amounts primarily consisted of $1.0 for termination benefits, $1.4 for lease termination settlements, and $0.9 of additional operating costs related to the Syracuse site.
During 2012, we announced our decisions to cease operations at our Budapest, Hungary and Bothell, Washington facilities. The goal of these restructuring activities was to advance our strategy of increasing global competitiveness and managing costs by aligning resources to meet shifting customer demand and market preferences, while optimizing our location footprint. In connection with these activities, we recorded restructuring charges in our DDS operating segment of $0.5 million, $6.5 million and $4.4 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These amounts primarily consist of $1.8 million for termination benefits, $0.6 million for repayment of government incentive programs and other expenses and $9.0 million for lease termination settlements, fees and other administrative costs.
We ceased operations and exited the Budapest, Hungary facility in 2012. During 2013, we reached agreement with the landlord of that facility requiring AMRI Hungary to pay approximately $1.9 million to settle the litigation that resulted from the termination of the lease. Of this amount, $1.1 million was recorded in 2012 as our initial estimate of its liability under this lease. The remaining $0.8 million was included in the restructuring charge taken during 2013. The Hungary legal entity was dissolved in 2014.
Anticipated cash outflow for 2015 related to the restructuring reserves as of December 31, 2014 is approximately $1.8 million.

Income tax (benefit) of $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 decreased $9.2 million from 2013 income tax expense primarily due to less pre-tax income at our U.S. locations.
Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased $3.6 million from 2012 primarily due to improved pre-tax income at the Company’s U.S. locations. The change in our effective tax rate for 2013 as compared to 2012 was due to changes in pre-tax income and losses in relation to the applicable tax rates at our various locations worldwide.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically funded our business through operating cash flows and proceeds from borrowings. During 2014, we generated cash of $1.9 million from operating activities.
During 2014, cash used in investing activities was $163.3 million, primarily due to the acquisitions of Cedarburg and OsoBio, and for the acquisition and installation of equipment. We generated cash of $33.2 million from financing activities, primarily due to the net proceeds borrowed on our revolving credit facility and the exercise of existing stock options, partially offset by principal payments on long-term debt.
Working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $142.3 million as of December 31, 2014, compared to $230.1 million as of December 31, 2013. This decrease primarily relates to the use of cash generated from the net proceeds from the issuance of convertible debt in 2013 to complete the acquisitions of Cedarburg and OsoBio in 2014, partially offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory.
Total capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $17.2 million as compared to $11.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Capital expenditures in 2014 were primarily related to the growth, maintenance and upgrading of our existing facilities including the addition of OsoBio and Cedarburg.
| 34 |
During 2015, we expect to incur $24.0 million to $26.0 million in capital expenditures primarily relating to the growth and maintenance of our existing facilities including the recently acquired facilities in Glasgow, U.K. and West Lafayette.
In April 2012, we entered into a $20.0 million credit facility consisting of a 4-year, $5.0 million term loan and a $15.0 million revolving line of credit. In April 2014, we utilized our restricted cash to pay off the balance of the term loan, thereby eliminating the term loan liability. In June 2014 we terminated the credit agreement while still maintaining the letters of credit, thus requiring us to continue to maintain certain restricted cash to collateralize these letters of credit.
The balance required to be maintained as restricted cash must be at least 110% of the maximum potential amount of the outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2014, we had $3.5 million of outstanding letters of credit secured by restricted cash of $4.1 million.
On October 24, 2014, we entered into a $50.0 million senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a 3-year, $50.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $15.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5.0 million sublimit for swing line loans. The Credit Agreement also included an accordion feature that, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions, allows us to increase the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement by up to $10.0 million. On December 23, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the available commitment to $75.0 million, increasing and using the accordion feature in its entirety. The amount available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2014 is $39.0 million.
Borrowings made under the Credit Agreement bear interest at (a) the one-month, three-month or six-month LIBOR rate (the “LIBOR Rate”) or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the Barclays Bank PLC prime rate, (ii) the United States federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) a daily rate equal to the one-month LIBOR Rate plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”), plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum for LIBOR Rate loans and 1.25% per annum for Base Rate loans. As of December 31, 2014 the interest rate on the Credit Agreement was 2.5%.
The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants, including maximum total leverage ratio and minimum consolidated current assets that extend for the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with our current financial covenants.
In December 2013, we issued $150.0 million of 2.25% Cash Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”), which generated net proceeds of $134.8 million, which includes the associated warrants, convertible note hedges and bank fees. In connection with the offering of these Notes, we entered into convertible note hedging transactions with two counterparties. We also entered into warrant transactions in which we sold warrants of our common stock to the counterparties. We paid the counterparties approximately $33.6 million for the convertible note hedge and received approximately $23.1 million from the counterparties for the warrants. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding these transactions.
Working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $230.1 million as of December 31, 2013, compared to $77.4 million as of December 31, 2012. This increase primarily relates to cash received from the net proceeds on the aforementioned convertible debt.
Total capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $11.1 million as compared to $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Capital expenditures in 2013 were primarily related to the growth, maintenance and upgrading of our existing facilities.
During 2013, we generated cash of $28.2 million from operating activities, and cash used in investing activities was $11.2 million, primarily for the acquisition and installation of equipment. During 2013, we generated cash of $136.9 million from financing activities, relating primarily to the net proceeds from the issuance of the convertible debt.
We expect that additional future capital expansion and acquisition activities, if any, could be funded with cash on hand, cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facility and/or the issuance of additional equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that attractive acquisition opportunities will be available to us or will be available at prices and upon such other terms that are attractive to us. We regularly evaluate potential acquisitions of other businesses, products and product lines and may hold discussions regarding such potential acquisitions. In addition, in order to meet our long-term liquidity needs or consummate future acquisitions, we may incur additional indebtedness or issue additional equity or debt securities, subject to market and other conditions. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. The failure to raise the funds necessary to finance our future cash requirements or consummate future acquisitions could adversely affect our ability to pursue our strategy and could negatively affect our operations in future periods.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. All of these estimates reflect our best judgment and are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Under different assumptions or conditions, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates described below could change, which may result in future impairments of inventories, and long-lived assets, as well as increased pension liabilities, the establishment of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and increased tax liabilities, among other effects. Also see Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Part II, Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this report, which discusses the significant accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.
Business Combinations
In accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations, we used the acquisition method of accounting to allocate costs of acquired businesses to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess costs of acquired businesses over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized as goodwill. The valuations of the acquired assets and liabilities will impact the determination of future operating results. In addition to using management estimates and negotiated amounts, we used a variety of information sources to determine the estimated fair values of the assets and liabilities, including third-party appraisals for the estimated value and lives of identifiable intangible assets and property and equipment. The business and technical judgment of management and third-party experts was used in determining the useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets in accordance with the accounting guidance for goodwill and intangible assets and patents.
Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of commercially available fine chemicals used as raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods in our large-scale manufacturing plants. API and Drug Product manufacturing inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. We regularly review inventories on hand and record a charge for slow-moving and obsolete inventory, inventory not meeting quality standards and inventory subject to expiration. The charge for slow-moving and obsolete inventory is based on current estimates of future product demand, market conditions and related management judgment. Any significant unanticipated changes in future product demand or market conditions that vary from current expectations could have an impact on the value of inventories. Total inventories recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $49.9 million and $32.0 million, respectively. We recorded charges to reduce obsolete inventory balances of $0.6 million, $0.4 and $0.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
| 36 |
Income Taxes
Our annual tax rate is based on our income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available to us in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining our tax expense and in evaluating our tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties and the need for valuation allowances. We review our tax positions quarterly and adjust the balances as new information becomes available. Our income tax rate is significantly affected by the tax rates on our international operations, each of which are subject to local country tax laws and regulations.
Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. Such assets arise because of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions and credits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings with focus on our U.S. operations and available tax planning strategies. These sources of income inherently rely heavily on estimates. To the extent we do not consider it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, a valuation allowance is established. We use our historical experience and our short and long-range business forecasts to provide insight. Amounts recorded for deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, were $19.7 million and $18.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Such 2014 year-end amounts are expected to be fully recoverable within the applicable statutory expiration periods.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We record derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Additionally, changes in a derivative’s fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. A change in inputs or estimates, including but not limited to, interest rates and the trading price and implied volatility of our common stock, may materially impact the resulting fair value measurements of these instruments and may also impact our results of operations. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, amounts recorded for both the Note Hedges and the Notes Conversion Derivative were $59.0 million and $22.7 million, respectively. The increase in the amounts recorded is due to the increase in the market value of our common stock that underlies these instruments.
Goodwill and intangible assets
We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to sell or dispose of a reporting unit. We test goodwill for impairment by either performing a qualitative evaluation or a two-step quantitative test. The qualitative evaluation is an assessment of factors, including reporting unit specific operating results as well as industry, market and general economic conditions, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair values of reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. We may elect to bypass this qualitative assessment for some or all of our reporting units and perform a two-step quantitative test. Fair values under the quantitative test are estimated using discounted cash flow methodologies that are based on projections of the amounts and timing of future revenues and cash flows. Total goodwill recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $61.8 million and $0.0 million, respectively. Based on the 2014 impairment test, none of our goodwill was impaired.
We test intangible assets and patents with defined useful lives and subject to amortization by comparing the carrying amount to the fair value of the asset. An impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the intangible asset group exceeds its fair value and will reduce only the carrying amounts of the intangible assets. Total intangible assets and patents recorded on our consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $32.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
As a result of our semi-annual review of the our proprietary drug development programs, we concluded that we will no longer actively pursue partnering opportunities for all programs that are not currently partnered and will not continue to fund additional patent filing or required maintenance costs for these programs. Based on the aforementioned conclusions, we recorded intangible asset impairment charges in the DDS segment of $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Other Long-Lived Assets
We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include, among others, the following:
| · | A significant change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset group is being used; |
| · | A significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset group; and |
| · | A significant decrease in the market value of assets. |
Determining whether an impairment has occurred typically requires various estimates and assumptions, including determining which undiscounted cash flows are directly related to the potentially impaired asset group, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, their amount, and the asset group’s residual value, if any. In turn, measurement of an impairment loss requires a determination of fair value, which is based on the best information available. We derive the required undiscounted cash flow estimates from our historical experience, internal business plans and our understanding of current marketplace valuation estimates. To determine fair value, we use our internal cash flow estimates discounted at an appropriate interest rate, quoted market prices when available and independent appraisals, as appropriate.
During 2014, we recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $5.4 million in our DDS segment primarily related to further optimizing our location footprint at both the Singapore and Hyderabad facilities, and cessation of operations at the Syracuse, NY facility.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17 “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting.” Pushdown accounting refers to pushing down the acquirer’s accounting and reporting basis (which is recognized in conjunction with its accounting for a business combination) to the acquiree’s standalone financial statements. Under the new guidance, pushdown accounting is optional for any transaction in which another party obtains control of the reporting company. An acquired entity can make the election to apply the guidance to future change in control events or to its most recent change-in-control event if the financial statements have not been issued. This ASU was effective upon issuance, which was November 18, 2014. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
| 38 |
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (Topic 606)." This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g., assets within the scope of Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other") are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” that amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 requires the disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. This ASU also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disclosures about the disposal of a significant component of an entity that does not qualify as a discontinued operation. This ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have market risk with respect to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in these rates as discussed below.
The Company has facilities and customers in foreign jurisdictions and therefore is subject to foreign currency risk. This risk is composed of both potential losses from the translation of foreign currency financial statements and the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions. The total net assets of non-U.S. operations denominated in non-functional currencies subject to potential loss amount of approximately $30.7 million. The potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates amounts to approximately $3.1 million. Furthermore, related to foreign currency transactions, the Company has exposure to non-functional currency balances totaling approximately $16.4 million. This amount includes, on an absolute basis, exposures to foreign currency assets and liabilities. On a net basis, the Company had approximately $2.6 million of foreign currency assets as of December 31, 2014. As currency rates change, these non-functional currency balances are revalued, and the corresponding adjustment is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. A hypothetical change of 10% in currency rates could result in an adjustment to the consolidated statement of operations of approximately $0.3 million.
With respect to interest rates, the risk is composed of changes in future cash flows due to changes in interest rates on our $35.0 million revolving credit facility and $2.4 million industrial development authority bonds. The potential loss in 2014 cash flows from a 10% adverse change in quoted interest rates would approximate eighty eight thousand dollars.

Financial statements and notes thereto appear on pages F-1 to F-39 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s management conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation the Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014.
| 39 |
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:
| · | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
| · | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and, that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of the Company; and |
| · | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed as of December 31, 2014 the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 was effective.
On April 4, 2014, the Company acquired Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cedarburg”) and on July 1, 2014, the Company acquired Oso Biopharmaceuticals Manufacturing, LLC (“OsoBio”). These acquisitions represent a material change in the internal control over financial reporting since management’s last assessment of effectiveness. Management has excluded Cedarburg and OsoBio from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. Total assets, excluding goodwill and other intangible assets which were included in management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, and total revenues of Cedarburg and OsoBio represent approximately 13% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year end December 31, 2014.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2014, which is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Other than the effects of the acquisitions of Cedarburg and OsoBio, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
None.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ALBANY MOLECULAR RESEARCH, INC.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Albany Molecular Research, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Albany Molecular Research, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Albany Molecular Research, Inc.” or “the Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Albany Molecular Research, Inc.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Item 9A(b)). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Albany Molecular Research, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein. Also in our opinion, Albany Molecular Research, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Albany Molecular Research, Inc. acquired Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on April 4, 2014 and Oso BioPharmaceuticals Manufacturing, LLC on July 1, 2014 (collectively, the “Acquired Businesses”), and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, the Acquired Businesses’ internal control over financial reporting associated with assets representing 13% of consolidated assets, and revenues representing approximately 10% of consolidated revenues included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Albany Molecular Research, Inc. also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of the Acquired Businesses.

| 1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Nature of Business:
Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading global contract research and manufacturing organization providing customers fully integrated drug discovery, development, and manufacturing services. We supply a broad range of services and technologies supporting the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products, the manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“API”) and the manufacturing of drug product for new and generic drugs, as well as research, development and manufacturing for the agrochemical and other industries. With locations in the United States, Europe, and Asia, we maintain geographic proximity to our customers and flexible cost models.
Basis of Presentation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Albany Molecular Research, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation. When necessary, prior years’ consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period. Gains or losses resulting from translating non-U.S. currency financial statements are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income and in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Management Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include assumptions regarding the valuation of inventory, intangible assets, and long-lived assets. Other significant estimates include assumptions utilized in determining actuarial obligations in conjunction with the Company’s pension and postretirement health plans, the amount and realizabilty of deferred tax assets, assumptions made in our accounting for acquisitions, assumptions utilized in determining stock-based compensation, as well as those utilized in determining the value of both the notes hedges and the notes conversion derivative and the assumptions related to the collectability of receivables. Actual results can vary from these estimates.
Contract Revenue Recognition:
The Company’s contract revenue consists primarily of amounts earned under contracts with third-party customers and reimbursed expenses under such contracts. Reimbursed expenses consist of chemicals and other project specific costs. The Company also seeks to include provisions in certain contracts that contain a combination of up-front licensing fees, milestone and royalty payments should the Company’s proprietary technology and expertise lead to the discovery of new products that become commercial. Generally, the Company’s contracts may be terminated by the customer upon 30 days’ to two years’ prior notice, depending on the terms and/or size of the contract. The Company analyzes its agreements to determine whether the elements can be separated and accounted for individually or as a single unit of accounting in accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” and Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104, “Revenue Recognition”. Allocation of revenue to individual elements that qualify for separate accounting is based on the separate selling prices determined for each component, and total contract consideration is then allocated pro rata across the components of the arrangement. If separate selling prices are not available, the Company will use the best estimate of selling price, consistent with the overall pricing strategy and after consideration of relevant market factors.
The Company generates contract revenue under the following types of contracts:
Fixed-Fee. Under a fixed-fee contract, the Company charges a fixed agreed upon amount for a deliverable. Fixed-fee contracts have fixed deliverables upon completion of the project. Typically, the Company recognizes revenue for fixed-fee contracts after projects are completed, delivery is made and title transfers to the customer, and collection is reasonably assured. In certain instances, the Company’s customers request that the Company retain materials produced upon completion of the project due to the fact that the customer does not have a qualified facility to store those materials or for other reasons. In these instances, the revenue recognition process is considered complete when project documents have been delivered to the customer, as required under the arrangement, or other customer-specific contractual conditions have been satisfied.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014 and 2013
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Full-time Equivalent (“FTE”). An FTE agreement establishes the number of Company employees contracted for a project or a series of projects, the duration of the contract period, the price per FTE, plus an allowance for chemicals and other project specific costs, which may or may not be incorporated in the FTE rate. FTE contracts can run in one month increments, but typically have terms of six months or longer. FTE contracts typically provide for annual adjustments in billing rates for the scientists assigned to the contract.
These contracts involve the Company’s scientists providing services on a “best efforts” basis on a project that may involve a research component with a timeframe or outcome that has some level of unpredictability. There are no fixed deliverables that must be met for payment as part of these services. As such, the Company recognizes revenue under FTE contracts on a monthly basis as services are performed according to the terms of the contract.
Time and Materials. Under a time and materials contract, the Company charges customers an hourly rate plus reimbursement for chemicals and other project specific costs. The Company recognizes revenue for time and material contracts based on the number of hours devoted to the project multiplied by the customer’s billing rate plus other project specific costs incurred.
Recurring Royalty and Milestone Revenues
Recurring Royalty Revenue. Recurring royalties include royalties under a license agreement with Sanofi based on the worldwide net sales of fexofenadine HCl, marketed as Allegra in the Americas and Telfast elsewhere, as well as on sales of Sanofi’s authorized or licensed generics and sales by certain authorized sub-licensees. The Company records royalty revenue in the period in which the net sales of Allegra/Telfast occur, because it can reasonably estimate such royalties. Royalty payments from Sanofi are due within 45 days after each calendar quarter and are determined based on net sales of Allegra/Telfast and Teva Pharmaceuticals’ net sales of generic D-12 in that quarter. The Company receives additional royalties in conjunction with a Development and Supply Agreement with Actavis, Inc (“Actavis”). These royalties, which the Company began receiving in the third quarter of 2012, are earned on net sales of generic products sold by Actavis. The Company records royalty revenue in the period in which the net sales of this product occur. Royalty payments from Actavis are due within 60 days after each calendar quarter and are determined based on sales of the qualifying product in that quarter.
Up-Front License Fees and Milestone Revenue. The Company recognizes revenue from up-front non-refundable licensing fees on a straight-line basis over the period of the underlying project. The Company will recognize revenue arising from a substantive milestone payment upon the successful achievement of the event, and the resolution of any uncertainties or contingencies regarding potential collection of the related payment, or if appropriate over the remaining term of the agreement.
Proprietary Drug Development Arrangements
The Company has discovered and conducted the early development of several new drug candidates, with a view to out- licensing these candidates to partners for further development in return for a potential combination of up-front license fees, milestone payments and recurring royalty payments if compounds resulting from our intellectual property are successfully developed into new drugs and reach the market.
On October 20, 2005, the Company entered into a License and Research Agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb (“BMS”) for a program of compounds that encompass biogenic amine reuptake inhibitors in development for the treatment of depression and other central nervous system disorders. As amended, the agreement is referred to herein as the “BMS Agreement”.
On December 20, 2010, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration and License Agreement with Genentech, Inc. (“Genentech”) (the “Genentech Agreement”, and collectively with the BMS Agreement, the “Agreements”) for a family of antibacterial compounds discovered from the Company’s proprietary research of its natural products sample collection.
| F-9 |
ALBANY MOLECULAR RESEARCH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014 and 2013
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Under the terms of the Agreements, the Company received upfront licensing fees and research funding to further develop the licensed compounds. In addition, the Company is eligible to receive development and regulatory milestones for each licensed compound, as well as royalties on sales of commercialized compounds if any.
In 2014, Genentech notified the Company that it was discontinuing its development of the licensed compounds. The viability of this program is currently under consideration by Genentech, which may or may not result in future payments to us.Under the terms of the BMS Agreement, the Company may receive milestone payments for each compound advanced by BMS upon achievement of certain clinical and regulatory milestones as follows:
| · | Up to $13,500 in clinical development milestones; and |
| · | Up to $30,000 in regulatory milestones, due upon acceptance and/or approval of new drug application filings with regulatory agencies in various jurisdictions. |
In 2013, BMS announced the cessation of its commercialization activities regarding the assets under the license. We are engaged in ongoing discussions with BMS as to the disposition of these assets, which may or may not result in future payments to AMRI. From the entry into this agreement through December 31, 2014, we have recorded $15.5 million from achieving certain milestones with BMS.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized clinical development milestones of $800 under the BMS Agreement, and no additional amounts for each such period under the Genentech Agreement.
Generic Parenteral Drug Product Arrangements
In 2014, the Company entered into development and supply agreements with Genovi Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Genovi”), (“the Genovi Agreements”) to manufacture select generic parenteral drug products for registration and subsequent commercialization in the U.S., Europe, and select emerging markets.
Under the terms of the Genovi Agreements, the Company may receive up to $3,236 in milestone payments for each drug product candidate upon achievement of certain development milestones, including technology transfer activities, analytical development, and manufacture of regulatory submission batches.
Following U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval, AMRI will supply the products to Genovi pursuant to the Genovi Agreements, and for some products, receive payments based on Genovi's sales of the products.
The Company has determined the milestones contained in these Agreements to be substantive milestones in accordance with ASC 605-28-25. In evaluating the milestones included in the Agreements, the Company considered the following:
| · | The Company considered each individual milestone to be commensurate with the enhanced value of the underlying licensed intellectual property or drug product candidate as they are advanced from the development stage to a commercialized product, and considered them to be reasonable when evaluated in relation to the total agreement consideration, including other milestones. |
| · | The milestones are deemed to relate solely to past performance, as each milestone is payable to the Company only after the achievement of the related event defined in the agreement, and is not refundable if additional future success events do not occur. |
For the year ended December 31, 2014, we recognized $1,269 in milestone payments as contract revenue under the Genovi Agreements.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:
Cash equivalents consist of money market accounts and overnight deposits. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
In April 2014, the Company utilized the balance of restricted cash to pay off the balance of the term loan, thereby eliminating the term loan liability. In June 2014 the Company terminated the credit agreement while still maintaining the letters of credit, thus requiring the Company to re-establish a certain restricted cash balance to collateralize these letters of credit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014 and 2013
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:
The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated receivable losses. Management reviews outstanding receivable balances on a regular basis in order to assess the collectability of these balances, and adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly. The allowance and related accounts receivable are reduced when the account is deemed uncollectible.
Allowances for doubtful accounts were $1,274 and $815 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Inventory:
Inventory consists primarily of commercially available fine chemicals used as raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods in the Company’s large-scale manufacturing plants. Manufacturing inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company writes down inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. Any such write-down, which represents a new cost basis for the inventory, results in a charge to operations.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost or, if acquired as part of a business combination, at fair value. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. When assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the applicable costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. Accelerated methods of depreciation have been used for income tax purposes.
The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment over the following estimated useful lives:
| Laboratory equipment and fixtures | 7-18 years | ||
| Office equipment | 3-7 years | ||
| Computer equipment | 3-5 years | ||
| Buildings | 39 years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the lease term.
Equity Investments:
The Company maintains an equity investment in a company that has operations in areas within the Company’s strategic focus. This investment is in a leveraged start-up company and was recorded at historical cost. The Company accounts for this investment using the cost method of accounting as the Company’s ownership interest in the investee is below 20% and the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee.
The Company records an impairment charge when an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other-than-temporary. Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in the Company’s inability to recover the carrying value of the investment thereby requiring an impairment charge in the future.
The carrying value of the equity investment at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $956 and is included within “other assets” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Business Combinations:
We include the results of operations of the businesses that we acquire as of the respective dates of acquisition.
| F-11 |
ALBANY MOLECULAR RESEARCH, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014 and 2013
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
We allocate the fair value of the purchase price of our acquisitions to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.
Long-Lived Assets:
The Company assesses the impairment of a long-lived asset group whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include, among others, the following:
| · | a significant change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset group is being used; |
| · | a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset group; or |
| · | a significant decrease in the market value of assets. |
If the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset group to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is indicated. An impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value and will reduce only the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets.
Goodwill:
The Company performs an annual assessment of the carrying value of goodwill for potential impairment (or on an interim basis if certain triggering events occur) at October 1st. A determination of impairment is made based upon the fair value of the related reporting unit. If goodwill is determined to be impaired, the Company would be required to record a charge to its results of operations. Factors the Company considers important which could result in an impairment include the following:
| · | significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; |
| · | significant negative industry or economic trends; and |
| · | market capitalization relative to net book value |
Patents, Patent Application Costs, Trademarks, and Customer Relationships:
Customer relationships and trademarks are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from five to twenty years.
The costs of patents issued and acquired are being amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated remaining lives of the issued patents. Patent application and processing costs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated life once a patent is acquired or expensed in the period the patent application is denied or the related appeal process has been exhausted. An impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the intangible asset group exceeds its fair value and will reduce only the carrying amounts of the intangible assets.
Pension and Postretirement Benefits:
The Company maintains pension and postretirement benefit costs and liabilities that are developed from actuarial valuations. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including actuarial mortality assumptions, discount rates and expected return on plan assets, which are updated on an annual basis. The Company considers current market conditions, including changes in interest rates, in making these assumptions. Changes in the related pension and postretirement benefit costs may occur in the future due to changes in the assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014 and 2013
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Loss Contingencies:
Loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will be material. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analyses that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties such as regulators. The Company enlists the technical expertise of its internal resources in evaluating current exposures and potential outcomes, and will utilize third party subject matter experts to supplement these assessments as circumstances dictate.
Research and Development:
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.
Income Taxes:
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the income tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for when it is determined that deferred tax assets are not recoverable based on an assessment of estimated future taxable income that incorporates ongoing, prudent and feasible tax-planning strategies.
Additionally, a tax position is a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax filing that is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not (likelihood of greater than 50%), based on technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured using a probability-weighted approach.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:
The Company accounts for derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Additionally, changes in a derivative’s fair value shall be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options and other equity based compensation by establishing fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees and recognizing expense on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period.
Earnings Per Share:
The Company computes net (loss) earnings per share by dividing net (loss) earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share would reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company (such as stock options).
The following table provides basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2014 and 2013
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
The Company has excluded all outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted shares from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2012 because the net loss causes these outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted shares to be anti-dilutive. The Company has excluded certain outstanding stock options and non-vested restricted shares from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2013 because of anti-dilutive effects.
The weighted average number of anti-dilutive common equivalents outstanding was 12,502, 1,363 and 2,392 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Restructuring Charges:
The Company accounts for its restructuring costs as required by FASB ASC Subtopic 420-10, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, which requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred, except for one-time termination benefits that meet certain requirements.
Subsequent Events:
The Company evaluates subsequent events at the date of the balance sheet as well as conditions that arise after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. The effects of conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements. Events and conditions arising after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued are evaluated to determine if disclosure is required to keep the financial statements from being misleading. To the extent such events and conditions exist, if any, disclosures are made regarding the nature of events and the estimated financial effects for those events and conditions. For purposes of preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements and the notes to these financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the accompanying consolidated financial statements were issued.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17 “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Pushdown Accounting.” Pushdown accounting refers to pushing down the acquirer’s accounting and reporting basis (which is recognized in conjunction with its accounting for a business combination) to the acquiree’s standalone financial statements. Under the new guidance, pushdown accounting is optional for any transaction in which another party obtains control of the reporting company. An acquired entity can make the election to apply the guidance to future change in control events or to its most recent change-in-control event if the financial statements have not been issued. This ASU was effective upon issuance, which was November 18, 2014. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (Topic 606)." This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g., assets within the scope of Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other") are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” that amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 requires the disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. This ASU also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disclosures about the disposal of a significant component of an entity that does not qualify as a discontinued operation. This ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
2. Business Acquisitions
2014 Acquisitions
On July 1, 2014, the Company completed the purchase of all of the outstanding equity interests of Oso Biopharmaceuticals Manufacturing, LLC (“OsoBio”), a contract manufacturer of highly complex injectable drug products located in Albuquerque, NM. The acquisition of OsoBio extends our industry leading expertise in developing and manufacturing highly complex injectable drug products and provides customers a single source to address all their sterile fill/finish needs – from discovery to phase 1 development complete to commercial supply. The aggregate purchase price was $109,194. OsoBio has been assigned to the Drug Product segment.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the net assets acquired:

Convertible Senior Notes
On December 4, 2013, the Company completed a private offering of $150,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Cash Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”), dated as of December 4, 2013 between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. The Notes will mature on November 15, 2018, unless earlier repurchased or converted into cash in accordance with their terms prior to such date and interest will be paid in arrears semiannually on each May 15 and November 15 at an annual rate of 2.25% beginning on May 15, 2014. The Notes were offered and sold only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
The Notes are not convertible into the Company's common stock or any other securities under any circumstances. Holders may convert their Notes solely into cash at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding May 15, 2018 only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2013 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per thousand dollars principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after May 15, 2018 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Notes solely into cash at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, in lieu of receiving shares of the Company's common stock, a holder will receive, per thousand dollars principal amount of Notes, an amount in cash equal to the settlement amount, determined in the manner set forth in the indenture.
The initial conversion rate is 63.9844 shares of the Company's common stock per thousand dollars principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.63 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events as described in the Indenture but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, the Company has agreed to pay a cash make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances as described in the indenture.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
The cash conversion feature of the Notes (“Notes Conversion Derivative”) requires bifurcation from the Notes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the Notes Conversion Derivative at the time of issuance of the Notes was $33,600 and was recorded as original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component of the Notes. This discount is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes. For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount of $5,765 and $531, respectively, as interest expense based upon an effective rate of 7.69%.

| Net carrying amount of Notes | $ | 122,696 | $ | 116,931 | ||||
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, on November 19, 2013, the Company entered into cash convertible note hedge transactions (“Notes Hedges”) relating to a notional number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the Notes to be issued by the Company with two counterparties (the "Option Counterparties"). The Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are intended to reduce the Company’s exposure to potential cash payments that we are required to make upon conversion of the Notes in excess of the principal amount of converted notes if our common stock price exceeds the conversion price. The Notes Hedges are accounted for as a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC Topic 815. The aggregate cost of the note hedge transaction was $33,600.
At the same time, the Company also entered into separate warrant transactions with each of the Option Counterparties initially relating, in the aggregate, to 9,598 shares of the Company's common stock underlying the note hedge transactions. The cash convertible note hedge transactions are intended to offset cash payments due upon any conversion of the Notes. However, the warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market price per share of the Company's common stock (as measured under the terms of the warrant transactions) exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. The initial strike price of the warrants is $18.9440 per share, which is 60% above the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock of $11.84 on November 19, 2013 and proceeds of $23,100 were received from the Option Counterparties from the sale of the warrants.
Aside from the initial payment of a $33,600 premium to the Option Counterparties, the Company is not required to make any cash payments to the Option Counterparties under the Note Hedges and will be entitled to receive from the Option Counterparties an amount of cash, generally equal to the amount by which the market price per share of common stock exceeds the strike price of the Note Hedges during the relevant valuation period. The strike price under the Note Hedges is initially equal to the conversion price of the Notes. Additionally, if the market price per share of the Company's common stock, as measured under the warrant transactions, exceeds the strike price of the warrants during the measurement period at the maturity of the warrants, the Company will be obligated to issue to the Option Counterparties a number of shares of the Company's common stock in an amount based on the excess of such market price per share of the Company's common stock over the strike price of the warrants. The Company will not receive any proceeds if the warrants are exercised.
Neither the Notes Conversion Derivative nor the Notes Hedges qualify for hedge accounting, thus any changes in the fair market value of the derivatives is recognized immediately in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2014, and 2013 the changes in fair market value of the Notes Conversion Derivative and the Notes Hedges were equal, therefore there was no change in fair market value that was recognized in the statements of operations.
The following table summarizes the fair value and the presentation in the consolidated balance sheet:

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
In April 2012, the Company entered into a $20,000 credit facility consisting of a 4-year, $5,000 term loan and a $15,000 revolving line of credit. In April 2014, the Company utilized the balance of restricted cash to pay off the balance of the term loan, thereby eliminating the term loan liability. In June 2014, the Company terminated the credit agreement while still maintaining the letters of credit, thus requiring the Company to continue to maintain restricted cash to collateralize these letters of credit.

The balance required to be maintained as restricted cash must be at least 110% of the maximum potential amount of the outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $3,497 of outstanding letters of credit secured by restricted cash.
On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a $50,000 senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a 3-year, $50,000 revolving credit facility, which includes a $15,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5,000 sublimit for swing line loans. The Credit Agreement also included an accordion feature that, subject to securing additional commitments from existing lenders or new lending institutions, would have allowed the Company to increase the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement by up to $10,000.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and carry back opportunities in making this assessment. Based upon the level of projected future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, a valuation allowance is included in deferred tax assets above as follows:
| December 31, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | |||||||
| U.S. | $ | 12,048 | $ | 10,029 | ||||
| Foreign | 8,847 | 11,374 | ||||||
| Total valuation allowance | $ | 20,895 | $ | 21,403 | ||||
The Company has determined that the remaining net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, and therefore no additional valuation allowance is required. This determination was based on the evaluation of the recoverability of these future tax deductions and credits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences and forecasted operating earnings with focus on the Company’s U.S. operations. The change in the U.S. valuation allowance during 2014 is related to increases in tax attributes in taxing jurisdictions where the Company does not project sufficient taxable income to utilize these attributes. The decrease in the Foreign valuation allowance is primarily related to the write-off of tax attributes of the Hungary subsidiary liquidated in 2014. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income during the carry forward period are reduced.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
| 2014 | 2013 | |||||||
| Balance at January 1 | $ | 675 | $ | 598 | ||||
| Increases related to prior year tax positions | 146 | 77 | ||||||
| Decreases related to prior year tax positions | (326 | ) | — | |||||
| Balance at December 31 | $ | 495 | $ | 675 | ||||
The Company classifies interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014 the Company has not accrued any penalties related to its uncertain tax positions as it believes that it is more likely than not that there will not be any assessment of penalties. Also as of December 31, 2013, the Company has not accrued any interest related to its uncertain tax positions as the amount is immaterial.
The Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state and foreign jurisdiction tax returns. The Company currently has a tax holiday in Singapore through March of 2015, resulting in a zero tax rate on current income in Singapore. The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service through the year ended December 31, 2010. All significant state matters have been concluded for years through 2010 and foreign matters have been concluded for years through 2005. Management of the Company believes that the Company’s exposure associated with future tax examinations is not material.
The Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries totaling approximately $23,716 because management considers such earnings to be reinvested indefinitely outside of the U.S. If the earnings are distributed in the future, the Company may be subject to both foreign withholding taxes and U.S. income taxes that may not be fully offset by foreign tax credits, however calculations of the potential tax liability is not necessary or practicable as of December 31, 2014.
| 9. | Share-based Compensation |
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized total share-based compensation cost of $4,122, $2,620 and $1,896, respectively, and received cash from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan purchases in the amount of $2,313, $1,527 and $531, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) was adopted during August 1998 and amended in November 2010, June 2011 and June 2013. Up to 1,400 shares of common stock may be issued under the Purchase Plan, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Purchase Plan establishes two stock offering periods per calendar year, the first beginning on January 1 and ending on June 30, and the second beginning on July 1 and ending December 31. All U.S. employees who work more than twenty hours per week are eligible for participation in the Purchase Plan. Employees who are deemed to own greater than 5% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company are not eligible for participation in the Purchase Plan.
During each offering, an employee may purchase shares under the Purchase Plan by authorizing payroll deductions up to 10% of their cash compensation during the offering period. The maximum number of shares to be issued to any single employee during an offering period is limited to two thousand shares. At the end of the offering period, the accumulated payroll deductions will be used to purchase common stock on the last business day of the offering period at a price equal to 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever is lower.
The 15% discount and the look-back feature are considered compensatory items for which expense must be recognized. The Company values Purchase Plan shares as a combination position consisting of 15% of a share of non-vested stock and 85% of a six-month stock option. The value of the non-vested stock is estimated based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning of the offering period. The value of the stock option is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model using historical expected volatility percentages, a risk free interest rate equal to the six-month U.S. Treasury rate at the beginning of the offering period, and an expected life of six months. The resulting per-share value is multiplied by the shares estimated to be purchased during the offering period based on historical experience to arrive at a total estimated compensation cost for the offering period. The estimated compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the offering period.
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 75, 163 and 182 shares, respectively, were issued under the Purchase Plan.
Stock Option Plan
The Company has adopted the 2008 Stock Option Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2008 Option Plan”, through which incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, as well as other equity instruments such as restricted shares, may be issued. In addition, certain stock options are outstanding which were issued under stock option plans that have subsequently expired. Incentive stock options granted to employees may not be granted at prices less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of option grant. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to employees, directors, advisors, consultants and other key persons of the Company at prices established at the date of grant, and may be less than the fair market value at the date of grant. All stock options may be exercised at any time, after vesting, over a ten-year period subsequent to the date of grant. The Company has a variety of vesting schedules for the stock options that have been granted to employees and non-employee directors. The Company has elected to record the compensation expense associated with these options on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. Non-qualified stock option vesting terms are established at the date of grant, but have a duration of not more than ten years.
The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $4,262, $2,125 and $0, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from stock option exercises was $1,642 and $785 during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
As of December 31, 2014, there was $1,762 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $871, $783 and $769, respectively. Of the 1,804 stock options outstanding, we currently expect 1,772 options to vest.
Restricted Stock
The Company also issues restricted shares of common stock of the Company under the 2008 Option Plan. The shares are issued as restricted stock and are held in the custody of the Company until all vesting restrictions are satisfied. If the vesting terms under which the award was granted are not satisfied, the shares are forfeited. Restricted stock is valued based on the fair value of the shares on the grant date, and is amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period. The Company reduces the straight-line compensation expense by an estimated forfeiture rate to account for the estimated impact of shares of restricted stock that are expected to be forfeited before becoming fully vested. This estimate is based on the Company’s historical forfeiture experience.

During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, a total of 72 and 50 shares, respectively, with an unrecognized compensation expense of $622 and $279, respectively, were forfeited. The amount amortized to expense during years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, net of the impact of forfeitures, was approximately $2,558, $1,070 and $932, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, there was $7,794 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted shares. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. Of the 923 restricted shares outstanding, we currently expect 913 shares to vest.
Shareholder Rights Plan
The Company has renewed a Shareholder Rights Plan, the purpose of which is, among other things, to enhance the Board of Directors’ ability to protect shareholder interests and to ensure that shareholders receive fair treatment in the event any coercive takeover attempt of the Company is made in the future. The Shareholder Rights Plan could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from acquiring, the Company or a large block of the Company’s Common Stock. The following summary description of the Shareholder Rights Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Shareholder Rights Plan, which has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A.
In connection with the renewal of the Shareholder Rights Plan on July 27, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of Common Stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 30, 2012. The Rights currently are not exercisable and are attached to and trade with the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Under the Shareholder Rights Plan, the Rights become exercisable if a person becomes an “acquiring person” by acquiring 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or if a person commences a tender offer that would result in that person owning 15% or more of the Common Stock. A stockholder owning 15% or more of the common stock of the Company as of July 27, 2012, is “grandfathered” under the Shareholder Rights Plan and will become an “acquiring person” upon acquiring an additional 1¤2% of the Common Stock. If a person becomes an “acquiring person,” each holder of a Right (other than the acquiring person) would be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, such number of shares of the Company’s preferred stock which are equivalent to shares of Common Stock having twice the exercise price of the Right. If the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction after any such event, each holder of a Right would then be entitled to purchase, at the then-current exercise price, shares of the acquiring company’s common stock having a value of twice the exercise price of the Right.

Defined Contribution Plans
The Company maintains a savings and profit sharing plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering all eligible U.S. non-union employees. Employees must complete one calendar month of service and be over 20.5 years of age as of the plan’s entry dates. Participants may contribute up to 100% of their compensation, subject to IRS limitations. The Company currently makes matching contributions equal to 100% of the participant’s contributions to the Plan for each payroll period up to the first 4% of Plan Compensation. The Company then matches 50% on the next 2% of Plan Compensation, to a maximum company match of 5%. In addition, the Company has reserved the right to make discretionary profit sharing contributions to employee accounts. The Company has made no discretionary profit sharing contributions. Employer matching contributions are fully (100%) vested after completion of two years of service. Employer matching contributions were approximately $1,821, $1,784 and $1,688 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company also sponsors a savings and profit sharing plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering U.S. based union employees. Employees must complete one calendar month of service and there is no age requirement as of the plan’s entry dates. Participants may contribute up to 100% of their regular wages, subject to IRS limitations, and the Company matches 50% of each dollar contributed by the employee up to 10% of their wages. In addition, the Company has reserved the right to make discretionary profit sharing contributions to employee accounts. The Company has made no discretionary profit sharing contributions. Employer matching contributions vest at a rate of 20% per year beginning after two years of participation in the plan, however the employer match under this plan does not begin until the employee completes one year of service. Employer matching contributions were $131, $129 and $129 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Defined Benefit and Postretirement Welfare Plan
AMRI Rensselaer maintains a non-contributory defined benefit plan (salaried and hourly) and a non-contributory, unfunded post-retirement welfare plan, covering substantially all employees. Benefits for the salaried defined benefit plan are based on salary and years of service. Benefits for the hourly defined benefit plan (for union employees) are based on negotiated benefits and years of service. The hourly defined benefit plan is covered under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Chemical Workers Union which represents the hourly workforce at AMRI Rensselaer.
Effective June 5, 2003, the Company eliminated the accumulation of additional future benefits under the non-contributory, unfunded post-retirement welfare plan for salaried employees. Effective August 1, 2003, the Company curtailed the salaried defined benefit pension plan and effective March 1, 2004, the Company curtailed the hourly defined benefit pension plan. In the first quarter of 2014, the union ratified an action to modify the post-retirement plan, significantly reducing the level of benefits available to the participants.
In the first quarter of 2014, the union ratified an action to settle the medical component of the post-retirement plan, significantly reducing the level of benefits available to the participants. As a result, the Company recorded $1,285 of operating income in the first quarter of 2014 due to the settlement of this obligation.
The Company recognizes the overfunded or underfunded status of its postretirement plans in its consolidated balance sheet and recognizes changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur. Additionally, the Company is required to measure the funded status of a plan as of the end of its fiscal year.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the changes in the plans’ benefit obligations and fair value of the plans’ assets during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and a reconciliation of the funded status to the net amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31 (the plans’ measurement dates) of both years:

The following assumptions were used to determine the periodic pension cost for the defined benefit pension plans for the year ended December 31:
| 2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||
| Discount rate | 3.50 | % | 4.25 | % | 3.50 | % | ||||||

| Rate of compensation increase | N/A | N/A | N/A | |||||||||
The discount rates utilized for determining the Company’s pension obligation and net periodic benefit cost were selected using high-quality long-term corporate bond indices as of the plan’s measurement date. The rate selected as a result of this process was substantiated by comparing it to the composite discount rate that produced a liability equal to the plan’s expected benefit payment stream discounted using the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve (“CPDC”). The CPDC was designed to provide a means for plan sponsors to value the liabilities of their postretirement benefit plans. The CPDC is a yield curve of hypothetical double-A zero coupon bonds with maturities up to 30 years. This curve includes adjustments to eliminate the call features of corporate bonds. As a result of this modeling process, the discount rate was 3.5% at December 31, 2014 and 4.25% at December 31, 2013.

Based on the three-tiered fair value hierarchy, all pension plan assets’ fair values can be determined by their quoted market price and therefore have been determined to be Level I as of December 31, 2014.
The overall objective of the Company’s defined benefit plans is to provide the means to pay benefits to participants and their beneficiaries in the amounts and at the times called for by the plan. This is expected to be achieved through the investment of the Company’s contributions and other assets and by utilizing investment policies designed to achieve adequate funding over a reasonable period of time.
Defined benefit plan assets are invested so as to achieve a competitive risk adjusted rate-of-return on portfolio assets, based on levels of liquidity and investment risk that is prudent and reasonable under circumstances which exist from time to time.
While the Company’s primary objective is the preservation of capital, it also adheres to the theory of capital market pricing which maintains that varying degrees of investment risk should be rewarded with compensating returns.
The asset allocation decision includes consideration of the non-investment aspects of the Company’s defined benefit plans, including future retirements, lump-sum elections, contributions, and cash flow. These actual characteristics of the plan place certain demands upon the level, risk, and required growth of trust assets. The Company regularly conducts analyses of the plan’s current and likely future financial status by forecasting assets, liabilities, benefits and contributions over time. In so doing, the impact of alternative investment policies upon the plan’s financial status is measured and an asset mix which balances asset returns and risk is selected. The Company’s plan policies of preservation of capital, return expectations and investment diversification are all measured during these reviews to aid in the determination of asset class and risk allocation.
The Company’s decision with regard to asset mix is reviewed periodically. Asset mix guidelines include target allocations and permissible ranges for each asset category. Assets are monitored on an ongoing basis and rebalanced as required to maintain an asset mix within the permissible ranges. The guidelines will change from time to time, based on an ongoing evaluation of the plan’s tolerance of investment risk.
To determine the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets, the Company considers current and expected asset allocations, as well as historical and expected returns on various categories of plan assets. In developing future return expectations for the Company’s pension plan’s assets, the Company evaluates general market trends as well as key elements of asset class returns such as expected earnings growth, yields and spreads across a number of potential scenarios.

The Company received $3,395, $1,446 and $889 in contract revenue from this customer in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
| 13. | Contingencies |
The Company, from time to time, may be involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Except as noted below, the Company is not currently a party to any such claims or proceedings which, if decided adversely to the Company, would either individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 12, 2014, a purported class action lawsuit, John Gauquie v. Albany Molecular Research, Inc., et al., No. 14-cv-6637, was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The complaint alleges claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising from the Company’s August 5, 2014 announcement of its financial results for the second quarter of 2014, including that the OsoBio New Mexico facility experienced a power interruption in July 2014, which would have a material impact on the Company’s results. The complaint alleges that the price of the Company’s stock was artificially inflated between August 5, 2014 and November 5, 2014, and seeks certification as a class action, unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs.
Allegra:
As of early in the first quarter of 2014, the Company settled all of the pending United States and foreign litigations surrounding the marketing of generic versions of Allegra and Allegra-D products. All of the prior legal proceedings have been settled or resolved to the mutual satisfaction of the parties and the related litigations have been dismissed by the mutual consent of the parties. The Company, along with Aventis Pharmaceuticals Inc., the U.S. pharmaceutical business of Sanofi, pursued those prior legal proceedings against several companies seeking to market or which are currently marketing generic versions of Allegra and Allegra-D products. In accordance with the Company’s agreements with Sanofi, Sanofi bears the external legal fees and expenses for these legal proceedings, but in general, the Company must consent to any settlement or other arrangement with any third party. Under those same agreements, the Company received royalties from Sanofi and certain approved sub-licensees on U.S. Patent No. 5,578,610 until it expired in November 2013, and will receive royalties on U.S. Patent No. 5,750,703 until its expiration in 2015, unless those patents are earlier determined to be invalid. The Company is also entitled to receive certain royalties from Sanofi and certain approved sub-licensees through mid-2015, unless the relevant patent(s) are earlier determined to be invalid.
Other:
In 2013, the Company settled litigation that was brought by a former vendor related to a contract cancellation, and the litigation was terminated. The Company recorded a charge of $1,920 in 2013 representing the payment made upon finalizing the settlement agreement.
Environmental liabilities:
The Company has completed an environmental remediation assessment associated with groundwater contamination at its Rensselaer, NY location. Ongoing costs associated with the remediation include biannual monitoring and reporting to the State of New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation. Under the remediation plan, the Company was required to pay for monitoring and reporting into 2019. Under a 1999 agreement with the facility’s previous owner, the Company’s maximum liability under the remediation is $5,500. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, no costs have been paid by the Company.

With the acquisition of OsoBio in the third quarter of 2014 the Company’s aseptic finished dose manufacturing business, which consists of OsoBio and AMRI Burlington, has become material to the financial and operational results of the Company. As a result, the Company has realigned the internal operations, management personnel, resources, and financial planning and reporting of its operations, resulting in a change to its reportable segments based on the criteria set forth in ASC 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”.
Prior to this acquisition, the Company organized its operations into the DDS and LSM segments. The DDS segment remains unchanged and includes activities such as drug lead discovery, optimization, drug development and small scale commercial manufacturing. The LSM segment has been separated into the Large Scale API (“API”) and Drug Product segments. API includes pilot to commercial scale manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates as well as high potency and controlled substance manufacturing. Drug Product includes pre-clinical through commercial sale production of complex liquid-filled and lyophilized parenteral formulations and includes operations at AMRI Burlington and OsoBio. Corporate activities include business development and administrative functions that have not been allocated to the operating segments. Prior period disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.

The Company determines its fair value of financial instruments using the following methods and assumptions:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, and accounts payable: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.
Convertible senior notes, derivatives and hedging instruments: The fair values of the Company’s Notes, which differ from their carrying values, are influenced by interest rates and the Company's stock price and stock price volatility and are determined by prices for the Notes observed in market trading, which are level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of the Notes at December 31, 2014 was $181,875. The Notes Hedges and the Notes Conversion Derivative are measured at fair value using level 2 inputs. These instruments are not actively traded and are valued using an option pricing model that uses observable market data for all inputs, such as implied volatility of the Company's common stock, risk-free interest rate and other factors.
Long-term debt, other than convertible senior notes: The carrying value of long-term debt approximated fair value at December 31, 2014 and 2013 due to the resetting dates of the variable interest rates.
The Company uses a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and making disclosures about fair value measurements. A three-tiered fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.
These tiers include:
Level 1 – defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments;
Level 2 – defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3 – defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Nonrecurring Measurements:
The Company has assets, including intangible assets, property and equipment, and equity method investments which are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. If certain triggering events occur such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial instrument be recorded at the lower of historical cost or its fair value.
The fair values of these assets are then determined by the application of a discounted cash flow model using Level 3 inputs. Cash flows are determined based on Company estimates of future operating results, and estimates of market participant weighted average costs of capital (“WACC”) are used as a basis for determining the discount rates to apply the future expected cash flows, adjusted for the risks and uncertainty inherent in the Company’s internally developed forecasts.
Although the fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in current market exchanges.
In 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $7,835, $1,857 and $8,334, respectively, in its DDS segment primarily associated with the Company’s decision to cease operations at its Syracuse, NY, Budapest, Hungary and Bothell, Washington facilities, as well as improving the footprint at the Singapore and Hyderabad facilities.

In the first quarter of 2014, we recorded a gain on the settlement of our postretirement benefit plan obligation of $1,285. In the third quarter of 2014, we recorded property, plant and equipment charges of $5,392 in our DDS segment primarily related to our Syracuse, NY and Singapore facilities. In the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded intangible asset impairment charges of $2,443 in our DDS segment related to certain proprietary drug development programs that we will no longer be pursuing.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $417 in the DDS segment in order to further optimize the Company’s location footprint and cease operations at our Budapest, Hungary and Bothell, Washington facilities.
| 19. | Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements |
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, we identified an error in our accounting for income tax expense recorded in fiscal years 2006 to 2013. We assessed the materiality of the error on prior periods’ financial statements and concluded that the error was not material to any of our prior period annual or interim financial statements. We elected to revise previously issued consolidated financial statements the next time they are filed. We have revised the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 included herein to reflect the correct balances by increasing income taxes payable and decreasing retained earnings each by $4,947. We have also revised the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 by increasing income tax expense by $912 and $484, respectively, resulting in a decrease in net income for the same periods by $912 and $484, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013 income per basic and diluted share decreased by $0.03. For the year ended December 31, 2012 loss per basic and diluted share increased by $0.02.
