/EINPresswire.com/ -- LYON, FRANCE -- (Marketwired) -- 05/09/16 -- Flamel Technologies (NASDAQ: FLML) today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2016.
First Quarter Highlights Include:
- Total revenue for first quarter 2016 was $36.2 million, compared to $32.7 million during the same period last year.
- GAAP net loss for the first quarter was ($6.4) million, or ($0.15) per diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $11.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share during the same period last year.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $11.8 million, compared to $12.9 million in the prior year.*
- Adjusted net income for the first quarter was $1.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net income of $4.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, during the same period last year. *
- Cash and marketable securities at March 31, 2016 were $160.0 million, compared to $144.8 million at December 31, 2015 and $113.2 million at March 31, 2015.
- Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the once nightly version of Micropump® sodium oxybate.
* Non-GAAP financial measure. Descriptions of Flamel's non-GAAP financial measures are included under the caption "Non-GAAP Disclosures and Adjustments" included within this document and reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to their most closely applicable GAAP financial measures are found in the "Supplemental Information" section within this document.
Michael Anderson, Flamel's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We were pleased with our strong revenues of $36.2 million during the first quarter. The entrance of a third competitor to the neostigmine market in December 2015 was less impactful to pricing and share for Bloxiverz® during the first quarter than initially anticipated; however, we still expect a decline in market share throughout the year to approximately 30% to 35%. As expected on April 29th, we received FDA approval for our third unapproved marketed drug, Akovaz™, which is our formulation of ephedrine sulfate injection. Following launch in the third quarter of this year, Akovaz will provide yet another stream of cash flow to help us continue executing against our strategic plan of advancing our pipeline products and growth through acquisitions, the first of which we made early in the first quarter. We continue to focus on integrating the FSC business and revenues are meeting our expectations. We are particularly excited by physicians' reception of Karbinal™ ER, which accounted for the majority of revenues from the FSC product portfolio."
Mr. Anderson continued, "At the end of the first quarter, we submitted our SPA to the FDA for our pivotal trial of Micropump® sodium oxybate, which will provide the FDA an opportunity to review our trial protocol and provide feedback. We expect to begin patient registration for our pivotal trial in mid-year 2016. We view sodium oxybate as our most valuable pipeline asset, and will continue to take the necessary steps to ensure the Company returns maximum value to our shareholders."
First Quarter 2016 Results
The Company achieved revenues during the first quarter of 2016 of $36.2 million, compared to $32.7 million during the same period last year. On a GAAP basis, Flamel recorded a net loss of ($6.4) million during the first quarter, or ($0.15) per diluted share, compared to a net income of $11.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Adjusted net income for the first quarter was $1.6 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted net income of $4.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, during the same period last year. The decline in adjusted diluted EPS from the previous year was primarily due to higher SG&A resulting from investments made in infrastructure and people in order to execute the Company's strategic plan. Included in GAAP net loss in the first quarter of 2016 was a $7.9 million charge to its contingent consideration liability resulting from the Company's reassessment of its long term Éclat revenue forecast. In addition, the Company incurred a foreign currency exchange loss of ($2.9) million, compared to a foreign currency exchange gain of $11.5 million in the prior year quarter. Please see the Supplemental Information section within this document for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS to the respective GAAP amounts.
Cash flow from operations was $22.5 million, compared to $25.3 million in the same period last year. Cash and marketable securities at March 31, 2016 were $160.0 million, compared to $144.8 million at December 31, 2015, an increase of $15.2 million.
2016 Revenue and R&D Spending Guidance
The Company is maintaining its full year 2016 revenue guidance of $110 - $130 million and expects the recently acquired FSC products, AcipHex® Sprinkle™, Karbinal™ ER, Cefaclor for Oral Suspension and Flexichamber™, to contribute revenues in the range of $10 - $15 million. As a result of the multiple clinical trials expected to run throughout 2016, the Company expects research & development expenses to be in the range of $35 - $50 million, up from $25.6 million in 2015.

Non GAAP Disclosures and Adjustments
Flamel discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income and loss and adjusted net income andloss per diluted share and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) as management believes that a comparison of its current and historical results would be difficult if the disclosures were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S. In addition to reporting its financial results in accordance with GAAP, Flamel reports certain non-GAAP results that exclude, if any, fair value remeasurements of its contingent consideration, impairment of intangible assets, amortization of intangible assets, effects of accelerated reimbursement of certain debt instruments, foreign exchange gains and losses on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, the net income (loss) from discontinued operations and related tax effects, but includes the operating cash flows plus any unpaid accrued amounts associated with the contingent consideration, in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the Company's financial performance. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to their most closely applicable GAAP measure set forth below and should consider non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for or as a superior measure to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table provided within the following "Supplemental Information" section reconciles GAAP net income and loss and diluted earnings or loss per share to the corresponding adjusted amounts.
