Stellar Pharmaceuticals Reports Second Quarter and First Half 2012 Financial Results
Total revenues and gross profits up due to strong Licensed Domestic Product Net Sales
MILTON, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 14, 2012) - Stellar Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB:SLXCF)(OTCBB:SLXCF)(PINKSHEETS:SLXCF) ("Stellar" or "the Company"), an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company with a primary focus on the acquisition, licensing, development and promotion of healthcare products in Canada, today announced financial results for the period ended June 30, 2012. In this press release, all dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian currency - unless otherwise noted - and results are reported in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).
Second Quarter 2012 Highlights
- Revenues increase by 170% in Q2 and by 239% in the first half 2012
- Gross profit up 56% in Q2 and by 96% in the first half 2012
- Acquired Canadian rights to Collatamp G® from Theramed Corporation
- Closed a US$6 million loan to fund product growth and for the pending commercial launch of Cambia®.
For the three month period ended June 30, 2012, Stellar reported total revenues of $2,891,100, an increase of 170% compared to the same period in 2011. This increase was largely driven by licensed domestic product net sales of $1,930,800 (compared to nil in the previous year) as a result of the acquisition and integration of Tribute Pharmaceuticals. Additionally in the quarter, domestic product sales increased by 13% whereas international product sales decreased by 38%. For the six month period, total revenues grew to $5,791,200, representing an increase of 239% when compared to the same period in 2011.
As a result, gross profit also increased. The Company enjoyed a 56% increase in gross profit over the three month period ended June 30, 2102 and a 96% increase in gross profit over the six month period of 2012. Gross profit for the second quarter was $1,263,400 and, for the first half of fiscal 2012, $2,496,200.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1,392,000. The increase is due mainly to the expansion of the Company's sales force, business development activity and prelaunch activities related to Cambia. For the six month period ending June 30, 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,108,500 compared to $1,403,000 for the same period of the prior year.
The Company's net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 was $731,400 compared to net income of $58,400 during the same period in 2011. For the six month period ending June 30, 2012 the net loss was $1,357,800 compared to a prior year net loss of $244,500.
The second quarter saw Stellar make significant advances on a number of key strategic objectives. In June 2012, the Company acquired the Canadian rights for Collatamp G® from Theramed Corporation, thereby adding to Stellar's portfolio of hospital and specialty care products in Canada. The Company also met with the FDA in the United States in March 2012 to discuss the process for US approval of Bezalip SR, a product with significant growth potential in the US.
On May 11, 2012, the Company secured a US$6 million loan from MidCap Financial LLC, available in two tranches, to support further market growth and business development activities. Stellar plans to use these funds to expand its sales force and promotional activities related to both existing products and for the launch of Cambia, which is planned for Q4, 2012. The Company received US$3.5 million as proceeds of the first tranche of the term loan.
As of June 30 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,390,000.
"Over the first half of the year, Stellar has made significant progress executing on its growth strategy, culminating in a number of key achievements in the second quarter of this fiscal year," said Rob Harris, CEO of Stellar Pharmaceuticals. "As we continue to lay the groundwork for strong future growth in both the domestic and international markets, we will increase our focus on enhancing our sales and business development capabilities while working closely with potential partners to identify and secure the rights to other products which - like Collatamp G, Cambia and Bezalip SR - promise to play key roles in the growth of both our revenue and profit going forward."
