The closing of the Recapitalization Transaction is expected to be completed on or about August 14, 2018, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions to the CBCA Plan.

Second Quarter 2018 Segment Results

Concordia International segment's revenue for the second quarter of 2018 was $106.7 million compared to $113.0 million in the first quarter of the 2018.

The sequential decline is primarily comprised of $2.1 million of foreign exchange losses arising from the weakening of the Great British Pound ("GBP") against the U.S. dollar; $0.7 million lower revenue from Prednisolone; $0.6 million lower revenue from Propylthiouracil; and $0.6 million lower revenue from Carbimazole, partially offset by $1.1 million higher revenue from Flurbiprofen. The remaining decrease was primarily due to general competitive market pressures across the Concordia International segment's product portfolio.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2018 decreased by $8.7 million or 8%, compared to the corresponding period in 2017.

The year-over-year decrease was primarily attributable to ongoing competitive market pressures in the Company's UK business, partially offset by the impact of the GBP strengthening against the U.S. dollar during the comparative period.

Concordia North America segment's second quarter 2018 revenue of $32.8 million was 17% lower than first quarter 2018 revenue of $39.3 million primarily due to lower authorized generic product sales and lower sales from Photofrin^®. 

Revenue for the second quarter of 2018 decreased by $12.6 million or 28 per cent compared to the corresponding period in 2017. The decrease was primarily driven by continued competitive pressure on certain key products in the U.S. portfolio including Donnatal^®, Plaquenil^® AG and Lanoxin^® AG. 

Pipeline Update

In the second quarter of 2018, Concordia launched two new products into markets that have a current IMS estimated market value in excess of $85 million.

Concordia also has 25 products that have already been approved or are awaiting approval by the regulators. These products, if launched, are expected to compete in markets that have a current IMS estimated market value in excess of $179 million.

In addition, the Company currently has 19 products under development that are anticipated to launch in the next three to five years. These products, if launched, are expected to compete in markets that have a current IMS estimated market value in excess of $1.6 billion.

The Company believes that these products include several second-to-market or early-to-market opportunities for difficult-to-make products.

Additionally, Concordia has 15 products identified for potential development that if launched, are expected to compete in markets that have a current IMS estimated market value in excess of $390 million.

Therefore, in total, Concordia's current pipeline is now comprised of approximately 59 products that could compete in markets that have a current IMS estimated market value of approximately $2.2 billion.

With its recently announced leadership transition, the Company will continue to evaluate the composition of its pipeline of medicines.

Consolidated Financial Results

Consolidated Results of Operations

Revenue for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date decreased by $21.3 million or 13%, and $29.6 million, or 9%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. These decreases were due to lower sales from both segments, partially offset by higher foreign exchange rates impacting translated revenues from the Concordia International segment.

The Concordia International segment revenue for the second quarter of 2018 decreased by $8.7 million, or 8%, when compared to the corresponding period in 2017 due to $15.4 million lower revenue primarily as a result of volume declines on key products including Liothyronine Sodium, Levothyroxine Sodium, and Fusidic Acid, partially offset by higher revenue due to volume increases for Nitrofurantoin and Argipressin, as well as $6.8 million higher revenue as a result of favourable foreign exchange rates positively impacting translated results.

The Concordia North America segment revenue for the second quarter of 2018 decreased by $12.6 million, or 28%, when compared to the corresponding period in 2017, mainly as a result of lower volumes on key products, including Donnatal^®, Plaquenil^® authorized generic and Lanoxin^® authorized generic, partially offset by higher revenue from Zonegran^®.

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date decreased by $16.2 million, or 15%, and $30.5 million, or 13%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017 primarily due to the revenue decreases described above.

Gross profit percentage for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date decreased by 1% and 4%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, primarily due to a change in the mix of product sales within both segments.

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date decreased by $956.2 million, or 88%, and $940.9 million, or 79%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. Operating expenses were lower primarily due to a $979.2 million lower impairment charge on a quarter and year to date basis. Excluding impairments, operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date increased by $23.0 million, or 22%, and $38.3 million, or 19%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. The increase in operating expenses for the second quarter of 2018, excluding impairments, is primarily due to $31.1 million higher restructuring related, acquisition and other costs mainly arising from the Company's initiative to realign its capital structure, partially offset by $3.7 million lower amortization charges on intangible assets and $3.8 million lower share-based compensation expense. The increase in operating expenses for the year to date 2018, excluding impairments, is primarily due to $41.4 million higher restructuring related, acquisition and other costs mainly arising from the Company's initiative to realign its capital structure and $5.2 million higher amortization charges on intangible assets, partially offset by $5.5 million lower share-based compensation expense and $3.4 million lower general and administrative costs.

General and administrative expenses reflect costs related to salaries and benefits, professional and consulting fees, public company costs, travel, facility leases and other administrative expenditures. General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date decreased by 14% and 12%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. These decreases are a result of the Company's objective to reduce operating costs across the business, partially offset by unfavourable foreign exchange rate movements impacting translation of general and administrative expenses from the Concordia International segment.

Selling and marketing expenses reflect costs incurred by the Company for the marketing, promotion and sale of the Company's broad portfolio of products across the Company's segments. Selling and marketing costs for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date increased by $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, primarily as a result of higher selling and marketing costs associated with the co-promotion agreement for sales of Donnatal^® in the Concordia North America segment.

Research and development expenses reflect costs for clinical trial activities, product development, professional and consulting fees and services associated with the activities of the medical, clinical and scientific affairs, quality assurance costs, regulatory compliance and drug safety costs (Pharmacovigilence) of the Company. Research and development costs for the second quarter of 2018 decreased by $0.2 million or 3%, compared to the corresponding period in 2017. This decrease is primarily due to timing of various non-recurring projects, as well as refunds of regulatory fees. Research and development costs for the year to date 2018 decreased by $1.1 million, or 7%, primarily due to refunds of regulatory fees.

The current income tax expense recorded for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date increased by $3.5 million and $2.2 million respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. Income taxes were higher in 2018 primarily due to higher taxable income when compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, combined with the impact of foreign exchange translation of the income tax expense from the Concordia International segment. The deferred income tax expense recorded for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date increased by $25.7 million and $27.2 million, respectively, and is mainly the result of the reversal of certain temporary differences and movements in the foreign exchange rates.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date decreased by $15.0 million, or 18%, and $27.2 million, or 16%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017. These declines are primarily due to lower sales and gross margins from both segments, partially offset by higher foreign exchange rates impacting translated results from the Concordia International segment. Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the second quarter of 2018 and year to date was $49.0 million and $100.7 million, respectively, from Concordia International and $20.4 million and $44.6 million, respectively, from Concordia North America. In addition, during the second quarter of 2018 and year to date, the Company incurred $2.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of Corporate costs related to the Corporate Head Office. Corporate expenses decreased by $2.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2017, primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses, including professional fees incurred.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $259.5 million, $46.5 million of restricted cash, and 51,283,800 common shares issued and outstanding.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release makes reference to certain measures that are not recognized measures under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). These non-IFRS measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.  When used, these measures are defined in such terms as to allow the reconciliation to the closest IFRS measure. These measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute to the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. Management uses non-IFRS measures such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted gross profit to provide investors with supplemental information of the Company's operating performance and thus highlight trends in the Company's core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Management believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers. Management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets, to assess its ability to meet future debt service requirements, in making capital expenditures, and to consider the business's working capital requirements. Readers are cautioned that the non-IFRS measures contained herein may not be appropriate for any other purpose.

Adjusted Gross Profit

As used herein, adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit adjusted for non-cash fair value increases to the cost of acquired inventory from a business combination. Under IFRS, acquired inventory is required to be written-up to fair value at the date of acquisition. As this inventory is sold the fair value adjustment represents a non-cash cost of sale amount that has been excluded in adjusted gross profit in order to normalize gross profit for this non-cash component.

EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as net loss from continuing operations adjusted for net interest and accretion expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. Management uses EBITDA to assess the Company's operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for certain charges including costs associated with acquisitions, restructuring initiatives, and other costs (which includes onerous contract costs and direct costs associated with contractual terminations), management retention costs, non-operating gains / losses, integration costs, legal settlements (net of insurance recoveries) and related legal costs, non-cash items such as unrealized gains / losses on derivative instruments, share based compensation expense/recovery, fair value changes including purchase consideration and derivative financial instruments, asset impairments, fair value increases to inventory arising from purchased inventory from a business combination, gains / losses from the sale of assets and unrealized gains / losses related to foreign exchange. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, among other non-IFRS financial measures, as the key metric in assessing business performance when comparing actual results to budgets and forecasts. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure of operating performance and cash flow, and provides useful information to investors because it highlights trends in the underlying business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures.

The table below sets forth the reconciliation of net loss from continuing operations to EBITDA and to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.
