Anika Therapeutics Reports Second-Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Total Revenue Grows 26% to $26.3 Million

Commercial Launch of Monovisc® Generates $5 Million Milestone Payment

Earnings per Share Increase to $0.60 from $0.40 a Year Earlier

BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 30, 2014--Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANIK), a leader in products for tissue protection, healing and repair, based on hyaluronic acid (HA) technology, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Management Commentary

“Anika made continued progress toward meeting its business goals and delivered solid financial results in the second quarter,” said Charles H. Sherwood, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. “Total revenue was up 26% from the second quarter last year, largely reflecting a $5 million milestone payment associated with our U.S. license agreement for our single-injection viscosupplementation product, Monovisc®. Net income increased 58%, driven by the milestone payment and improved operating efficiencies.”

“Operationally, our key highlight this quarter was the U.S. commercial launch and first domestic sales of Monovisc®,” Sherwood said. “Monovisc® has been well-received by the orthopedic physician community, and it is generating results in line with our plans. In addition, we continued to expand our international viscosupplementation distribution network, while making solid progress on our product pipeline with clinical and regulatory advances for Cingal™ and Hyalofast™.”

“Anika begins the second half of 2014 with strong momentum. We are successfully executing our strategy to expand our global presence in viscosupplementation. Cingal™ and Hyalofast™ are advancing toward commercialization. We are continuing to add the organizational and operational capabilities the company needs to expand beyond viscosupplementation and to deliver on its growth potential in the years ahead, and our product pipeline continues to be strong. As a result, we believe Anika is well-positioned for continued revenue growth and profitability in the quarters ahead,” Sherwood concluded.

Revenue

Anika’s total revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $26.3 million, compared with $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2013. Second-quarter total revenue included $5.0 million in milestone revenue associated with Anika’s U.S. license agreement for Monovisc®. Product revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $21.3 million, compared with $20.1 million in the second quarter last year. The increase in product revenue versus the prior-year period reflects the impact of product sales and royalty revenue associated with the Company’s first U.S. Monovisc® sales.


Product Gross Margin and Operating Expenses

Product gross margin for the second quarter of 2014 improved to 75%, from 69% in the second quarter of 2013. This improvement was driven by a more favorable product mix, increased royalties from the Company’s U.S. viscosupplementation products, as well as efficiency gains and a lower raw material cost for a key component. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $11.1 million, compared with $11.4 million a year earlier. Second-quarter research and development expenses were approximately equal to expenses in the prior-year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses were up 14% from the second quarter of 2013, primarily reflecting increased headcount related expenses, higher external professional fees and increased corporate governance costs.

Operating and Net Income

Operating income for the second quarter of 2014 was $15.2 million, compared with $9.4 million in the same period in 2013. Net income for the second quarter was $9.3 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared with $5.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the second quarter of last year. Operating income, net income and earnings per share were higher year-over-year, primarily due to increased product gross margin, as well as milestone revenue related to the U.S. license agreement for Monovisc®.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Anika’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2014 increased to $84.9 million, from $63.3 million at December 31, 2013. This $22 million increase was driven primarily by higher income from operations, milestone payments, and stock options exercised during the period.
