Unilife Corporation Announces Financial Results

For Fiscal Year 2013 Fourth Quarter

York, PA (September 10, 2013) Unilife Corporation (“Unilife” or “Company”) (NASDAQ:UNIS; ASX: UNS), a developer and supplier of injectable drug delivery systems, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, (the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2013).

Recent Highlights

 

    Unilife signed a long-term supply contract with Sanofi to supply the Unifill Finesse™, a customized device from its Unifill platform of prefilled syringes, for use with the anti-thrombotic therapy Enoxaparin Sodium sold under the brand names Lovenox® and Clexane® (“Lovenox”). Unilife has granted Sanofi the exclusive use of the Unifill Finesse with anti-thrombotic drugs during the contract period, which can extend to 2024. Following a four year ramp-up period after market entry, exclusivity will be maintained, subject to Sanofi purchasing a minimum of 150 million units of the Unifill Finesse or other Unifill syringes per year. In addition to future revenue from the sale of Unifill Finesse syringes, Unilife may receive up to $15 million from Sanofi in milestone based payments with $5 million of these payments expected in 2013.

“The major supply contract with Sanofi that we announced this week for our flagship platform of Unifill syringes will establish Unilife as one of the leading suppliers of prefilled syringes in the industry,” stated Mr. Alan Shortall, CEO of Unilife. “In addition to the Sanofi supply contract, we are equally as enthusiastic about many other major large-scale contracts that are now being finalized. Several of these upcoming contracts will generate upfront and recurring revenue. We expect these current and upcoming contracts will generate cash that will substantially offset our cash burn rate for this fiscal year. As many of these agreements have terms between five and fifteen years in length, I believe they will underpin Unilife’s long-term success and sustainable growth.

“We remain committed at this time to minimizing future dilution to existing shareholders by utilizing other sources of capital to support our operations while these upcoming contracts are finalized and begin to generate revenue. Given the signing of the Sanofi supply contract, re-negotiations of the terms we received previously for a large non-equity based debt financing are underway and are expected to be completed shortly,” Mr. Shortall concluded.

Financial Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2013

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013, were $0.7 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2012. The Company’s net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was $22.0 million, or $0.25 per share, compared to a net loss of $14.9 million, or $0.21 per share, for the same period in 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation expense of $4.2 million primarily relating to a loss on disposal of equipment to manufacture the Unitract product line, and an increase in non-cash share-based compensation costs of $4.0 million, partially offset by lower expenses in other areas of R&D and G&A.

Adjusted net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was $9.9 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to $11.0 million, or $0.15 per share, for the same period in 2012. Adjusted net loss excludes non-cash share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, loss on disposal of equipment and interest expense.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Our management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, events and developments to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and those described from time to time in other reports which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

U.S. securities laws require that when we publish any non-GAAP financial measure, we disclose the reason for using the non-GAAP measure and provide reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The presentation of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted net income (loss) represents net income (loss) calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP as adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and interest expense.

Management believes the presentation of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per share provides useful information because these measures enhance its own evaluation, as well as investor’s understanding, of the Company’s core operating and financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to adjusted net income (loss) is included in the attached table.
