Taro Provides Results for Quarter Ended June 2013

HAWTHORNE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYS: TARO) ("Taro" or the "Company") today provided unaudited financial results for the three month period ended June 30, 2013.

Quarter ended June 30, 2013 Highlights - compared to June 30, 2012

  • Net sales of $153.2 million, decreased $6.0 million, or 3.7%

  • Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales was 69.7%, compared to 71.7%

  • Research and development expenses increased 6.0% to $12.2 million and as a percentage of net sales was 8.0%, compared to 7.2%

  • Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million, and as a percentage of net sales was 13.7%, compared to 12.7%

  • Operating income decreased to $73.6 million, or 48.0% of net sales, compared to $79.0 million, or 49.6% of net sales; a $5.4 million decrease

  • Net income attributable to Taro was $58.8 million compared to $62.9 million, a $4.1 million decrease, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.32 compared to $1.41.


Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

  • Cash flow provided by operations was $64.4 million compared to $19.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which was negatively impacted by the payment of income taxes as reflected in the significant decrease in trade and other payables

  • Cash, including marketable securities, increased $52.1 million and $260.0 million to $612.6 million from March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

Mr. Kal Sundaram, Taro's CEO stated, "Jim Kedrowski and the Taro team have done an excellent job of maximizing the market opportunities for the Taro portfolio. I would like to thank Jim for his many contributions to the organization." Mr. Sundaram continued, "The revenue decline is principally due to a net charge taken to meet contractual obligations associated with price adjustments made in the current quarter, the benefit of which should be realized in future periods. Excluding the one-time charge, Q1 sales would have increased over 10% versus the prior year. We also note the recent entry of competition for our flagship product, Nystatin/Triamcinalone, which we anticipate will result in the loss of sales and market share going forward."

FDA Approvals and Filings

The Company recently received three approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") - a New Drug Application ("NDA") for Topicort® (desoximetasone) Spray, 0.25%, as well as Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDAs") for Carbamazepine Extended release Capsules 100 mg, 200 mg and 300 mg, and Gabapentin Oral Solution, 250 mg/5mL. During the quarter, the Company filed one ANDA with the FDA. With this, ANDAs representing twenty products as well as one NDA await FDA approval.

Taro Board Announces Senior Leadership Changes

On July 18, the Company announced that Mr. Dilip Shanghvi has been appointed to Taro's Board of Directors as its Chairman. Effective August 1, 2013, Mr. James Kedrowski retired as the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr. Kal Sundaram has been appointed to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Kedrowski will continue to serve as a member of Taro's Board of Directors.
