I hear that. But even with the Eyetech biz on the books, OSIP beat by 4 cent, and hit on revenues. Whatever guidance they might have given in the CC couldn't have been bad, since, in after hours action, the stock is up over 6% from the closing price . . .
>>OSI Pharmaceuticals Announces Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results
Monday July 30, 4:05 pm ET
- Reports Earnings of $0.48 Per Share From Continuing Operations -
- Tarceva Global Net Sales $212 Million Up 35% Over The Second Quarter of 2006 -
- Total Revenue Up 42% Over Second Quarter of 2006 -
MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIP - News) announced today its financial results for the Company's second quarter ended June 30, 2007. The Company reported net income from continuing operations of $29.3 million (or $0.48 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with net loss from continuing operations of $2.4 million (or $0.04 loss per share) for the second quarter of 2006.
The Company reported total revenues from continuing operations of $79 million for the second quarter of 2007 compared to revenues of $56 million for the second quarter of 2006, an increase of 42%. The increase is primarily due to the growth in revenues arising from worldwide Tarceva® (erlotinib) sales. Total worldwide net sales of Tarceva for the second quarter of 2007, as reported by the Company's collaborators for Tarceva, Genentech, Inc. and Roche, were approximately $212 million representing a 35% growth in global sales compared to the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 worldwide Tarceva net sales were approximately $409 million, a 41% increase over the same period last year.
Total revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007 were comprised of the following key items:
Net revenues from the unconsolidated joint business for Tarceva of $43 million, compared to $39 million in the second quarter of 2006, arising from the Company's co-promotion arrangement with Genentech. The net revenues are based on total U.S. Tarceva sales of $102 million, compared to $103 million in the second quarter of 2006. Sales for the second quarter of 2007 were negatively impacted by approximately $9 million of reserve adjustments due to unusually high product returns related to expiring inventory returned to Genentech. Excluding this adjustment, U.S. net sales for Tarceva in the second quarter of 2007 were up 7% versus the prior year quarter;
Royalties of $23 million compared to $11 million in the second quarter of 2006 from Roche, the Company's international partner for Tarceva. The royalty revenues are based on total rest of world sales of approximately $110 million which increased 103%, compared to the $54 million reported in the second quarter of 2006;
License, milestone and other revenues of $13 million compared with $6 million in the second quarter of 2006. The increase is comprised primarily of royalty income related to worldwide non-exclusive licensing agreements under the Company's DP-IV patent portfolio covering the use of DP-IV inhibitors for treatment of type 2 diabetes, and the amortization of an upfront license fee related to a licensing agreement granted to Eli Lilly and Company, in January 2007, for our Glucokinase Activator program. Offsetting these increases was a decline in DP-IV related milestone income, and commissions related to sales of Novantrone® (mitoxantrone for injection concentrate) which lost patent exclusivity in April 2006.
Operating expenses from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007 were $53.8 million, compared to $57.6 million for last year's second quarter. Cost of goods sold of $2.0 million was relatively unchanged from the prior year period, and represents costs associated with the U.S. manufacturing and supply of Tarceva. Research and development expense for the second quarter of 2007 decreased $2.1 million to $27.3 million compared to $29.4 million for last year's second quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2007 decreased $1.7 million to $24.0 million compared to $25.7 million for the second quarter of 2006. Operating expenses include $3.9 million (or $0.06 per share) of equity based compensation expense for the second quarter of 2007, compared to $2.9 million (or $0.05 per share) for the second quarter of 2006.
Included in other income (expense) - net for the second quarter of 2007 was a $4.1 million gain recognized as a result of the Company's decision to curtail its post retirement medical plan.
On November 6, 2006, we announced our intention to divest our eye disease business, a process which we expect to complete in 2007. Our eye disease business consists principally of Macugen® (pegaptanib sodium injection), our marketed product for the treatment of wet AMD, as well as research assets in the eye disease area. As a result of our decision to divest the eye disease business, or Eyetech, the operating results for Eyetech, for all periods presented, is shown as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
The Company's net income, including results from discontinued operations, was $19.6 million (or $0.33 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with a net loss of $319.9 million (or $5.62 per share) reported for the second quarter of 2006.
