Net sales of Treximet for the fourth quarter were $38.5 million.
 
Net sales of Silenor for during the fourth quarter of 2014 was $5.6 million, compared to $2.9 million during the same period of 2013, as a result of a significant increase in awareness and prescribing.  Awareness remains an opportunity and we plan to increase our efforts in 2015, in particular with consumers and online.
 
Net sales of our product portfolio excluding Treximet and Silenor, including our seasonal cough & cold products and our portfolio of other branded and generic products for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $9.4 million compared with $18.7 million in the prior-year period. Increased sales from Treximet and Silenor were partially offset by the discontinuation of a number of generic products in 2013.
 
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $22.9 million, compared to $1.1 million for the same period last year.
 
Reported GAAP net loss increased from ($6.2) million during the three months ended December 31, 2013 to ($7.8) million during three months ended December 31, 2014, or ($0.17) to ($0.20) per basic and diluted share, respectively reflecting $16.4 million, or $0.43 per basic and diluted share, of amortization associated with the acquisition of the Treximet intellectual property.
 
On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 increased to $14.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared with $6.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, a year ago.
 
Gross profit increased 181% to $39.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with $13.9 million in the prior-year period, driven by the inclusion and performance of Treximet. Gross margin was 72% for the quarter, versus 58% in the prior-year period.
 
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $20.6 million, compared with $23.6 million in the same period of 2013, a decrease of 13% from the prior year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales were 38% in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 99% in the prior year.
 
R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $2.3 million, compared to $1.2 million in the prior-year period, life-cycle management of Silenor, the Silenor OTC development programs and commencement of Treximet life-cycle management initiatives.
 
Financial Update – Year Ending December 31, 2014
 
For the full year 2014, net sales were $121.7 million compared to $84.9 million in 2013, an increase of 43%.
 
Net sales of Treximet increased by $54.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily attributable to the acquisition of Treximet in August 2014, with the first sale occurring on September 2, 2014.
 
Net sales of Silenor increased by $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 97%.
 
Net sales of our product portfolio excluding Treximet and Silenor, including our seasonal cough & cold products, and our portfolio of other branded and generic products for the full year 2014 were $47.9 million compared with $69.8 million in 2013.
 
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $23.8 million, compared to ($5.7) million in the prior year.

Reported GAAP net loss increased from ($25.6) million during the year ended December 31, 2013 to ($35.3) million during the year ended December 31, 2014, or ($0.70) to ($0.93) per basic and diluted share.
 
On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income / (loss) for the full year 2014 was $9.9 million, compared with ($2.2) million a year ago. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.18 versus a loss per share of ($0.06) for 2013.
 
Total operating expense in 2014, excluding amortization, was $119.3 million, compared to $131.5 million for 2013.  Operating expense included SG&A expense of $63.0 million, compared to $62.6 in 2013.  The increase in SG&A was driven by investments in selling and marketing expenses for Treximet and Silenor offset by a reduction in operational and legal expenses.  SG&A as a percent of net sales was 52% in 2014, compared to 74% in the prior year. 

R&D expenses for 2014 were $3.9 million, compared with $4.8 million in 2013.  The reduction of expenses incurred related to the in-process research and development at Cypress as certain of these projects were transferred to Breckenridge connected with the sale of certain generic assets to them in September 2013 and others were discontinued, offset by costs associated with the Treximet sNDA for use in adolescent patients.

Reserve for potential legal settlement

GlaxoSmithKline has claimed that Pernix owes damages relating to an alleged breach of a covenant contained in our Asset Purchase Agreement pertaining to a pre-existing customer agreement.  As of December 31, 2014, GlaxoSmithKline alleged damages of approximately of $8,500,000 related to 2014 sales of Treximet and has indicated that it will have further claims through the end of 2015.  We believe that we have strong and valid defenses against their claims and will vigorously contest their claims if an action is instituted.  We are also in active negotiations to resolve this matter.  We have booked a reserve of $3,500,000 for 2014 for a legal settlement related to this matter.  Any material liability, in excess of our reserve, resulting from this claim could negatively impact our financial results.  Consistent with our regular practice, our guidance does not account for one-time charges, legal settlements and other discreet charges.
 
2015 Full-Year Guidance
 
Today the Company confirms its prior FY2015 guidance of $230mm of net revenues and $95mm of Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Pernix is disclosing non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operating results because they exclude amounts that management and the board of directors do not consider part of core operating results or that are non-recurring when assessing the performance of the organization.  Primarily due to acquisitions, Pernix believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In addition to disclosing its financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, Pernix is disclosing non-GAAP results that exclude items such as amortization expense and certain other expense and revenue items in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the Company's financial performance. Whenever Pernix uses a non-GAAP measure, it will provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures set forth herein 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.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Statements including words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or similar expressions are forward-looking statements.  Because these statements reflect the Company’s current views, expectations and beliefs concerning future events, these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Investors should note that many factors, as more fully described under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and as otherwise enumerated herein or therein, could affect the Company’s future financial results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements in this press release are qualified by these risk factors. These are factors that, individually or in the aggregate, could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. The Company assumes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
