Teva Reports Third Quarter 2008 Results
JERUSALEM--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 6, 2008 - Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ: TEVA) today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.
Third Quarter Highlights:
-- Record net sales of $2,842 million, up 20% compared to $2,366 million in the third quarter of 2007.
-- GAAP net income and diluted EPS of $637 million and $0.77, up 21% and 20%, respectively, compared to net income and diluted EPS of $525 million and $0.64 in the comparable quarter in 2007.
-- Adjusted net income and diluted EPS of $599 million and $0.72, up 14% and 13%, respectively, compared to net income and diluted EPS of $525 million and $0.64 in the comparable quarter in 2007.
-- Copaxone(R) continued to lead as the number one MS therapy in both the U.S. and globally, with global in-market sales of $562 million, reflecting a 28% increase over the third quarter of 2007.
-- Strong cash flow from operations of $710 million, more than double compared to $332 million in the third quarter of 2007.
"This was a very good quarter for Teva," said Shlomo Yanai, Teva's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In the midst of these turbulent economic times, we experienced once again the benefits of our balanced business model. Robust sales of our generics products--particularly in the U.S. and our International markets--combined with Copaxone(R)'s continued global leadership of the MS market, the growth of Azilect(R), and excellent sales of our Pro-Air(R) inhalers contributed to our strong performance this quarter."
Mr. Yanai continued, "This was also an intensive and exciting quarter for Teva strategically. We entered into a new strategic partnership in Japan, the world's second largest pharmaceutical market; closed our acquisition of Bentley in Spain; and secured the necessary financing for our acquisition of Barr Pharmaceuticals, a deal which we expect to close by the end of this year."
Net income and EPS for the third quarter of 2008 are adjusted to reflect the following items:
-- $100 million received in connection with a settlement agreement with an institution regarding the Company's auction rate securities portfolio;
-- In-process R&D and other acquisition-related charges of $33 million in connection with the acquisition of Bentley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on July 22, 2008;
-- Impairment of financial assets (primarily auction rate securities) totaling $26 million; and
-- Related tax effect of $3 million.
Teva believes that excluding these items facilitates investors' understanding of the trends in the Company's underlying business. In third quarter of 2007, no adjustments were made and Teva's results are presented only on a GAAP basis.
Exchange rate differences contributed approximately 4% to sales in the third quarter of 2008, while having an $18 million adverse affect on operating income compared to the third quarter of 2007. The impact on sales resulted primarily from the weakness of the U.S. dollar relative to certain other currencies (primarily the Euro, the Hungarian Forint and the Israeli Shekel) in the third quarter of 2008 vs. the third quarter of 2007, while the effect on operating profit was mainly due to the strength of the Israeli Shekel and the weakness of the British Pound during this period.
Pharmaceutical sales in North America (including Copaxone(R)) for the third quarter reached a record $1,614 million, accounting for 60% of total pharmaceutical sales and representing an increase of 23% compared with the third quarter last year. Quarterly sales benefited primarily from the launch of generic Lamictal(R) (Lamotrigine), the continued sales of Wellbutrin XL(R) (Bupropion Hydrochloride Extended-Release Tablets, 150 mg) and Risperdal(R) (Risperidone), which were launched in the previous quarter, as well as from strong sales of Lotrel(R) (Amlodipine Benazapril) launched in the second quarter of 2007, coupled both with strong sales of Copaxone(R) and the fact that Teva now records 100% of the sales of Copaxone(R) in North America.
As of October 28, 2008, Teva had 145 product applications awaiting final FDA approval, including 41 tentative approvals. Collectively, the brand products covered by these applications had annual U.S. sales of over $96 billion. Of these applications, 86 were "Paragraph IV" applications challenging patents of branded products. Teva believes it is the first to file on 58 of the 86 applications, relating to products with annual U.S. sales exceeding $42 billion.
Pharmaceutical sales in Europe (including Copaxone(R)) in the third quarter of 2008 totaled $685 million, accounting for 25% of total pharmaceutical sales and up 10% compared to the third quarter of 2007. The increase in sales was attributable to strong generic sales in Spain (resulting primarily from the first time consolidation of Bentley's results), France and Poland, and increased sales of Copaxone(R) and Azilect(R), as well as the weakness of the U.S. dollar against certain European currencies (particularly the Euro and the Hungarian Forint) in the third quarter of 2008 compared to the third quarter of 2007.
Since the beginning of 2008, Teva received in Europe 855 generic approvals relating to 124 products in 238 formulations, including one EMEA approval which applies to all EU member states. In addition, as of September 30, 2008, Teva had approximately 2,865 marketing authorization applications pending approval in 30 European countries, relating to 203 products in 402 formulations, including eight pending applications with the EMEA.
International pharmaceutical sales (including Copaxone(R)) in the third quarter of 2008 totaled $395 million, accounting for 15% of total pharmaceutical sales and representing an increase of 32% compared to the third quarter of 2007. Growth was driven by sales across Latin America, as well as in Russia, Israel and Turkey. Approximately 7% of Teva's total pharmaceutical sales were generated in Latin America, while Israel contributed 5% of total pharmaceutical sales and the CEE contributed 2% of total pharmaceutical sales.
Global in-market sales of Copaxone(R) reached $562 million in the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 28% over the third quarter of 2007. In the U.S., in-market sales increased by 25% to reach $352 million compared to the third quarter of 2007, while in-market sales outside the U.S. increased by 31% to $210 million. Copaxone(R) maintained its status as the leading multiple sclerosis treatment both in the U.S. and globally for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Global in-market sales of Azilect(R) reached $46 million in the quarter, a 38% increase over the comparable period in 2007. During the third quarter of 2008, Azilect(R) experienced gradual increase in market share in the major European markets and the U.S.
Teva's global respiratory business recorded $177 million in sales in the third quarter of 2008, essentially flat compared to the third quarter of 2007 and up 5% compared to the second quarter of 2008. Respiratory sales in the U.S. accounted for 56% of total respiratory sales in the third quarter. In the third quarter, Teva maintained its overall market leadership in the U.S., with approximately 57% of the HFA market, which constituted approximately 68% of the SABA market.
API sales to third parties increased 14% in the third quarter totaling $148 million. Internal sales to Teva's pharmaceutical business increased 90%, compared to the third quarter of 2007, resulting in total API sales this quarter of $521 million, an increase of 60% compared to the third quarter of 2007. Internal API sales continued to benefit from Teva's generic launches in the U.S.
Gross profit margin reached 52.5% in the third quarter of 2008, similar to the 52.8% gross profit margin recorded in the third quarter of 2007. Copaxone(R)'s positive contribution on gross margins in current quarter was offset by the adverse effect of exchange rate differences (primarily the decline of the British pound compared to the U.S. dollar and the strengthening of the Israeli shekel compared to all currencies) as well as a different product mix.
Net Research & Development expenditures totaled $194 million, or 6.8% of sales, compared to $141 million, or 6.0% of sales, recorded in the third quarter of 2007, representing an increase of 38%. This higher spending rate is consistent with the Company's strategic plan to double generic R&D output by 2012 as well as expand R&D activity in biogenerics and its innovative business.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) expenditures totaled $648 million, or 23% of sales, for the third quarter, compared to $458 million, or 19% of sales, in the comparable quarter of 2007. The increase in SG&A expenses resulted primarily from the termination of the distribution agreement with sanofi-aventis in North America as of March 31, 2008. The net impact on SG&A from the termination of this agreement totaled $171 million in the third quarter.
The Company's current estimate of its annual tax rate for 2008 is 11% of pre-tax adjusted income. Therefore, the tax provided for in the third quarter was $47 million (or 7% of adjusted pre-tax income) to adjust the cumulative tax provision to the expected 11% annual tax rate. This rate compares to a rate of 19% for the third quarter of 2007 of pre-tax income and 17% for the whole of 2007. The reduction in the effective tax rate in 2008, compared to 2007, is due to a different product mix and higher vertically integrated product sales in 2008.
Cash flow generated from operating activities during the third quarter of 2008 was $710 million, compared to $332 million in the comparable quarter in 2007. Free cash flow - excluding net capital expenditures (of $170 million) and dividends (of $97 million) - reached $443 million. Cash and marketable securities remained unchanged from June 30, 2008, totaling $3.6 billion, after payment of approximately $366 million in connection with the Bentley acquisition and approximately $90 million used to reduce debt obligations.
This quarter the Company recorded in the income statement a charge of $26 million for the impairment of financial assets, including $19 million related to its portfolio of auction rate securities. The Company's auction rate securities portfolio as of September 30, 2008 was $261 million. The reduction from the principal amount of $445 million to $261 million is a result of cumulative charges of $96 million to the income statement, $83 million of charges to "other comprehensive income" in the balance sheet and the balance of $5 million was sold.
Teva also recorded in the third quarter one-time financial income of $100 million received in connection with a settlement agreement regarding its auction rate securities portfolio.
Shareholders equity on September 30, 2008 reached $14.8 billion, an increase of $1.1 billion from December 31, 2007. The increase in shareholders equity reflects net income for the nine month period of $1,323 million, offset, mainly, by dividends paid in the amount of approximately $300 million and a negative adjustment of $133 million resulting from translation of non U.S. dollar net assets.
For the third quarter of 2008, the share count for the fully diluted earnings per share calculation was 837 million shares. As of September 30, 2008, Teva's share count going forward for the fully diluted share calculation is estimated at 838 million shares.
Dividend
The Board of Directors, at its meeting on November 5, 2008, declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of 2008 of NIS 0.45 (approximately 11.8 cents according to the rate of exchange on November 5, 2008) per share.
The record date will be November 12, 2008, and the payment date will be November 27, 2008. Tax will be withheld at a rate of 16.5%.
Barr Acquisition Update
On September 3, 2008, Teva and Barr announced that, as expected, each party received a request for additional information (commonly referred to as a "second request") from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in connection with Teva's pending acquisition of Barr. Teva and Barr intend to continue to cooperate with the FTC to obtain HSR clearance as promptly as possible.
In addition, in connection with the principal regulatory approval in Europe required for completing this transaction, Teva and Barr filed a Form CO with the European Commission on November 3, 2008.
On October 27, 2008, Teva and Barr announced that Barr's syndicate of lending banks have agreed to amend Barr's unsecured credit facilities (total outstanding principal amount of $1.94 billion) to permit them to remain in place following Barr's acquisition by Teva. With Barr's amended credit facilities, Teva's cash on-hand and the committed bridge financing, Teva has sufficient funds to complete the acquisition.
Teva expects the acquisition to close in late 2008. In addition to the regulatory approvals mentioned above, the closing of the transaction is subject to approval by the stockholders of Barr at a special shareholder meeting scheduled for November 21, 2008, clearance by antitrust authorities in certain other countries and other customary conditions.
