STOUGHTON, Mass., February 6, 2023 -- Collegium
Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Nasdaq: COLL), a leading, diversified specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced preliminary, unaudited financial
results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022.
"2022 was a pivotal year for Collegium Pharmaceutical.
We estimate fourth quarter and full year 2022 GAAP operating expenses in the range of $38.4 million to $43.4 million and in the range
of $176.5 million to $181.5 million, respectively, and we estimate fourth quarter and full year 2022 product revenues, adjusted operating
expenses and adjusted EBITDA at or above the high-end of 2022 earnings guidance," said Joe Ciaffoni, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Collegium. "We look forward to providing full year 2022 results on our fourth quarter earnings call."
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Preliminary
Preliminary 2022 Financial Results
The preliminary, unaudited financial results included in this press
release are based on information available as of February 6, 2023 and management's initial review of operations for the fourth quarter
and year ended December 31, 2022. They remain subject to change based on management's ongoing review of the fourth-quarter and full year
results and are forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update these statements. The actual results remain subject to the
completion of management's and our audit committee's reviews and our other financial closing procedures, as well as the completion
of the preparation of our audited consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022. During that process, we may
identify items that would require us to make adjustments, which may be material, to the information presented in this press release. While
we do not expect that our actual results for the year ended December 31, 2022 will vary materially from the preliminary, unaudited financial
results presented in this press release, there can be no assurance that these estimates will be realized. Actual results may be materially
different and are affected by the risk factors and uncertainties identified in this press release and in our annual and quarterly filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
These preliminary, unaudited results should be read in
conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and our
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2021 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022, which
have been filed with the SEC. The preliminary, unaudited financial information presented herein should not be considered a
substitute for the financial information to be filed with the SEC in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2022 once it becomes available.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have included information about certain non-GAAP financial measures
in this press release. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to understand, manage and evaluate our business as we believe they provide
additional information on the performance of our business. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, taken
in conjunction with our results under GAAP, provide analysts, investors, lenders and other third parties insight into our view and assessment
of our ongoing operating performance. In addition, we believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed
with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, where applicable, provide supplementary information that may be useful
to analysts, investors, lenders, and other third parties in assessing our performance and results from period to period. We report these
non-GAAP financial measures to portray the results of our operations prior to considering certain income statement elements. These non-GAAP
financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other financial measures
calculated in accordance with GAAP.
In this press release we discuss the following financial measures that
are not calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP
net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest income, the benefit from or provision for income taxes, depreciation,
amortization, stock-based compensation, and other adjustments to reflect changes that occur in our business but do not represent ongoing
operations. Adjusted EBITDA, as used by us, may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled
measures used by other companies.
There are several limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA
rather than net income (loss), which is the nearest GAAP equivalent, such as:
Because we have not yet completed our year-end closing
process and because of the forward-looking nature of the estimated adjusted EBITDA ranges presented above for the fourth quarter and year
ended December 31, 2022, we do not have specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to provide a reconciliation of
net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP to adjusted EBITDA
for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. We believe that there is a degree of variability with respect to certain
of the GAAP measures and certain adjustments made to arrive at the relevant non-GAAP measure that precludes us from providing
an accurate preliminary estimate of a GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation without unreasonable effort or expense. As a result, we
believe that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the ranges of our adjusted EBITDA would imply a degree
of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.
Adjusted Operating Expenses
Adjusted operating expenses is a non-GAAP
financial measure that represents GAAP operating expenses adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, and other adjustments
to reflect changes that occur in our business but do not represent ongoing operations.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of operating
expenses, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP, to adjusted operating expenses
for high and low end of the preliminary ranges set forth herein for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022. Our calculation
of adjusted operating expenses may not be comparable to the calculation of similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
