“SurModics generated record total revenue and double-digit revenue growth in all three of our operating segments for the second consecutive quarter,” said Bruce Barclay, president and CEO. “We are particularly gratified to achieve record revenue for the second consecutive quarter in our legacy business despite a 28% year-over-year decrease in Cypher stent-related revenue. Further, Brookwood Pharmaceuticals generated record revenue, and both Brookwood and BioFX again contributed to overall earnings this quarter. These results demonstrate the significant benefits of our broad and diverse technology portfolio.”
“Our collaboration with Merck in ophthalmology continues to progress extremely well. In January we announced an extension of our license agreement with Merck, and we generated a record number of billable hours with Merck in the quarter. As of the end of the quarter, our total Merck deferred revenue balance had grown to $24.9 million,” continued Barclay. “The achievement of three of our fiscal 2008 goals added to the highlights of our second quarter performance. First, we announced the first in-human use of the SynBiosys™ biodegradable polymer on our customer CardioMind’s drug-eluting stent. Second, in February, Medtronic announced their U.S. launch of the Endeavor® Coronary Stent System which uses SurModics’ hydrophilic technology. Third, we generated $15.6 million in cash from our paid development activities so far this fiscal year, already surpassing our goal of $10 million. We are making excellent progress on our strategic plan for sustainable growth, and continue to believe in our ability to achieve our fiscal 2008 company goals as well as our long-term objectives.”
For the second quarter of fiscal 2008, revenue was $25.7 million, an increase of 48% from $17.4 million in the year-earlier period. Total operating expenses, including product costs, were $18.5 million, which roughly doubled from $9.3 million last year. Operating income was $7.2 million, a decrease of 11% compared with $8.1 million in the prior-year period. Net income was $5.1 million, a decrease of 10% from $5.7 million in the same period last year. Diluted net income per share was $0.28, a 10% decrease from $0.31 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Earnings growth did not keep pace with revenue growth primarily as a result of the accounting treatment relating to our Merck agreement, higher stock-based compensation costs associated with recent board transitions, and a changing mix of revenue sources.
For the first six months of fiscal 2008, revenue was $49.5 million, compared with $34.1 million in the year earlier period. Operating income was $14.8 million, compared with $16.2 million in the prior year period; net income was $10.8 million, compared with $11.7 million in the year earlier period; and diluted net income per share was $0.58, compared with $0.64 in the first six months of fiscal 2007.
“This quarter we are providing shareholders with a more transparent picture of ongoing operations at SurModics by presenting supplemental non-GAAP disclosure related to the Merck agreement accounting treatment,” said Phil Ankeny, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “We believe that this supplemental non-GAAP disclosure complements our GAAP reporting, and allows the investment community to better understand current performance by showing what our results would have looked like had we fully recognized as revenue all of the items related to our significant collaboration with Merck, compared to amortizing the amounts, as we do under the applicable accounting treatment. Because the Merck agreement is so significant to our business, and given the effect the associated accounting has on our reported results, we are presenting this new non-GAAP disclosure to help investors understand the impact of that single agreement.”
On a non-GAAP basis (adjusting for the accounting treatment of the Merck agreement), for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, total revenue was $28.5 million, operating income was $9.9 million, net income was $6.8 million, and diluted net income per share was $0.37. On a non-GAAP basis, for the six-month period ending March 31, 2008, total revenue was $53.8 million, operating income was $19.0 million, net income was $13.3 million, and diluted net income per share was $0.72. As of March 31, 2008, the deferred revenue balance associated with the Merck agreement was $24.9 million.
SurModics’ cash and investment balances totaled $80.9 million as of March 31, 2008, up from $72.5 million as of December 31, 2007. Operating cash flow for the quarter was $4.5 million, compared with $4.7 million in the prior year period. SurModics also initiated its second share repurchase program in the quarter with repurchases totaling $2.6 million.
SurModics’ pipeline continues to grow. The company signed four new licenses in the second quarter, bringing the fiscal year-to-date total to 13, and has a goal of signing 18 new licenses in fiscal 2008. SurModics’ customers launched four new product classes in the marketplace during the quarter, bringing the fiscal year-to-date total to six, as the company works toward its goal of 10 launches in fiscal 2008. As of March 31, 2008, SurModics’ customers had 100 licensed product classes generating royalty revenue, up from 95 in the prior-year period; the total number of licensed product classes not yet launched was 103, compared with 91 in the prior-year period; and major non-licensed opportunities totaled 90, compared with 77 a year ago.
