Endo Reports Third-Quarter 2021 Financial Results And Raises 2021 Financial Guidance

DUBLIN, Nov. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Endo International plc (NASDAQ: ENDP) today reported financial results for the third-quarter ended September 30, 2021.

"We delivered strong third-quarter results driven by outstanding execution across all of our businesses. As a result of our year-to-date performance and our expectations for the remainder of 2021, we are raising our full-year 2021 financial guidance," said Blaise Coleman, President and Chief Executive Officer at Endo. "Additionally, we are pleased with our progress against our strategic priorities including our efforts to expand and enhance our portfolio with the recent launch of varenicline tablets, the only available FDA approved generic version of Chantix^®, and the continued positive market response to QWO^®." 

THIRD-QUARTER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Total revenues were $772 million in third-quarter 2021, an increase of 22% compared to $635 million during the same period in 2020. This result was primarily attributable to increased revenues from our Sterile Injectables, Generic Pharmaceuticals, and Branded Pharmaceuticals segments.

Reported loss from continuing operations in third-quarter 2021 was $49 million compared to reported loss from continuing operations of $69 million during the same period in 2020. This result was attributable to increased revenue and favorable changes in product mix, which were partially offset by higher litigation-related costs, asset impairment charges and other operating expenses, including as a result of our investment and promotional efforts behind XIAFLEX^® and QWO^®. Reported diluted net loss per share from continuing operations in third-quarter 2021 was $0.21 compared to reported diluted net loss per share from continuing operations in third-quarter 2020 of $0.30.

Adjusted income from continuing operations in third-quarter 2021 was $189 million compared to $122 million in third-quarter 2020. The result was attributable to increased revenues and favorable changes in product mix. Adjusted diluted net income per share from continuing operations in third-quarter 2021 was $0.80 compared to $0.52 in third-quarter 2020.

BRANDED PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT

Third-quarter 2021 Branded Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $231 million, an increase of 3% compared to $224 million during third-quarter 2020.

Specialty Products revenues increased 16% to $162 million in third-quarter 2021 compared to $140 million in third-quarter 2020. XIAFLEX^® revenues increased 20% to $106 million compared to $88 million in third-quarter 2020 primarily driven by demand growth due to additional physician office activity coupled with commercial execution. Established Products revenues decreased 17% to $69 million in third-quarter 2021 compared to $84 million in third-quarter 2020 partly driven by a non-recurring stocking benefit for TESTOPEL^® in prior year.

STERILE INJECTABLES SEGMENT

Third-quarter 2021 Sterile Injectables segment revenues were $344 million, an increase of 37% compared to $251 million during third-quarter 2020. This increase was attributable to additional VASOSTRICT^® revenues primarily due to hospitalizations associated with the COVID-19 delta variant.

GENERIC PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT

Third-quarter 2021 Generic Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $174 million, an increase of 29% compared to $136 million during third-quarter 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to additional revenues from 2021 product launches.

INTERNATIONAL PHARMACEUTICALS SEGMENT

Third-quarter 2021 International Pharmaceuticals segment revenues were $23 million compared to $24 million during third-quarter 2020.  

2021 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Endo is updating its financial guidance for the full-year ending December 31, 2021 by raising the expected ranges regarding revenues, adjusted diluted net income per share from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA. The guidance below contemplates a range of potential outcomes that reflect uncertainties in certain key assumptions including, among other things, uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially from Endo's expectations, as further discussed below under the heading "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

BALANCE SHEET, LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UPDATES

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $1.6 billion in unrestricted cash; $8.3 billion of debt; and a net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.6.

Third-quarter 2021 net cash provided by operating activities was $62 million compared to $77 million used in operating activities during the third-quarter 2020. This change was primarily due to an increase in adjusted income from continuing operations and changes in working capital, offset by payments to settle certain opioid matters.

Additionally, in October 2021, the Company completed the previously announced sale of its manufacturing site in Chestnut Ridge, NY, which included, among other assets, U.S. generic retail products and related product inventory to subsidiaries of Strides Pharma Science Limited for approximately $24 million in cash, as well as certain other non-cash considerations. The exit of this site was included in a series of business transformation initiatives that the Company announced in late 2020, including further optimization of its generic retail business cost structure.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To supplement the financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures. For additional information on the Company's use of such non-GAAP financial measures, refer to Endo's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes an explanation of the Company's reasons for using non-GAAP measures.

The tables below provide reconciliations of certain of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP amounts. Refer to the "Notes to the Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below for additional details regarding the adjustments to the non-GAAP financial measures detailed throughout this Supplemental Financial Information section.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Net (loss) income (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Notes to certain line items included in the reconciliations of the GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

Reconciliation of Net Debt Leverage Ratio (non-GAAP)

The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company's Net income (GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021 (in thousands) and the calculation of the Company's Net Debt Leverage Ratio (non-GAAP):

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes certain financial measures that are not prescribed by or prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP net income and its components and diluted net income per share amounts. Despite the importance of these measures to management in goal setting and performance measurement, the company stresses that these are non-GAAP financial measures that have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and, therefore, have limits in their usefulness to investors. Because of the non-standardized definitions, non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net income from continuing operations and its components (unlike GAAP net income from continuing operations and its components) may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how management assesses performance.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. However, the Company does not provide reconciliations of projected non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures, nor does it provide comparable projected GAAP financial measures for such projected non-GAAP financial measures. The Company is unable to provide such reconciliations without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including adjustments that could be made for asset impairments, contingent consideration adjustments, legal settlements, gain / loss on extinguishment of debt, adjustments to inventory and other charges reflected in the reconciliation of historic numbers, the amounts of which could be significant.

See Endo's Current Report on Form 8-K furnished today to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for an explanation of Endo's non-GAAP financial measures.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information in this press release may be considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation, including, but not limited to, the statements by Mr. Coleman, as well as other statements regarding product development, product launches and product demand, the expansion and enhancement of our product portfolio, market potential, progress on our strategic priorities, the status and outcome of litigation, financial guidance for full-year 2021 or any other future period, the impact of and response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the status of our contingency planning, including any potential bankruptcy filing, and any other statements that refer to our expected, estimated or anticipated future results or that do not relate solely to historical facts. Statements including words or phrases such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "plan," "will," "may," "look forward," "intend," "guidance," "future," "potential" or similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Because forecasts are inherently estimates that cannot be made with precision, Endo's performance at times differs materially from its estimates and targets, and Endo often does not know what the actual results will be until after the end of the applicable reporting period. Therefore, Endo will not report or comment on its progress during a current quarter except through public announcement. Any statement made by others with respect to progress during a current quarter cannot be attributed to Endo. All forward-looking statements in this press release reflect Endo's current analysis of existing trends and information and represent Endo's judgment only as of the date of this press release. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from current expectations based on a number of factors affecting Endo's businesses, including, among other things, the following: the outcome of our strategic review, contingency planning and any potential restructuring or bankruptcy filing; the timing, impact or results of any pending or future litigation, investigations or claims or actual or contingent liabilities, settlement discussions, negotiations or other adverse proceedings, including pending and future opioid-related matters, pending tax matters with the IRS and proceedings that involve key products such as VASOSTRICT^®; our ability to satisfy judgments or settlements or pursue appeals including bonding requirements; our ability to adjust to changing market conditions; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; our inability to maintain compliance with financial covenants and operating obligations which would expose us to potential events of default under our outstanding indebtedness; our ability to incur additional debt or equity financing for working capital, capital expenditures, business development, debt service requirements, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes; our ability to refinance our indebtedness; a significant reduction in our short-term or long-term revenues which could cause us to be unable to fund our operations and liquidity needs or repay indebtedness; supply chain interruptions or difficulties; changes in competitive or market conditions; changes in legislation or regulatory developments; our ability to obtain and maintain adequate protection for our intellectual property rights; the timing and uncertainty of the results of both the research and development and regulatory processes, including regulatory decisions, product recalls, withdrawals and other unusual items; domestic and foreign health care and cost containment reforms, including government pricing, tax and reimbursement policies; technological advances and patents obtained by competitors; the performance, including the approval, introduction, and consumer and physician acceptance of new products and the continuing acceptance of currently marketed products; the effectiveness of advertising and other promotional campaigns; the timely and successful implementation of any strategic initiatives; unfavorable publicity regarding the misuse of opioids; the uncertainty associated with the identification of and successful consummation and execution of external corporate development initiatives and strategic partnering transactions; our ability to advance our strategic priorities, develop our product pipeline and continue to develop the market for QWO^® and other products; and our ability to obtain and successfully manufacture, maintain and distribute a sufficient supply of products to meet market demand in a timely manner. In addition, U.S. and international economic conditions, including consumer confidence and debt levels, taxation, changes in interest and currency exchange rates, international relations, capital and credit availability, the status of financial markets and institutions, the impact of and response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of continued economic volatility, can materially affect our results. The occurrence or possibility of any such result has caused us to engage, and may result in further engagement in strategic reviews that ultimately may result in our pursuing one or more significant corporate transactions or other remedial measures, including on a preventative or proactive basis. Those remedial measures could include a potential bankruptcy filing (which, if it occurred, would subject us to additional risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business prospects and ability to continue as a going concern), corporate reorganization or restructuring activities involving all or a portion of our business, asset sales or other divestitures, cost-saving initiatives or other corporate realignments, seeking strategic partnerships and exiting certain product or geographic markets. Some of these measures could take significant time to implement and others may require judicial or other third-party approval. Any such actions may be complex, could entail significant costs and charges or could otherwise negatively impact shareholder value, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that they will result in their intended benefits. Therefore, the reader is cautioned not to rely on these forward-looking statements. Endo expressly disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required to do so by law.
