WALTHAM, MA May 3, 2012 Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ:RGEN) today reported results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2012. Total revenue for the first quarter of 2012 was
$12,824,000 compared to total revenue of $5,906,000 for the same period in 2011. Revenue growth for the quarter was driven by the Company s expanded bioprocessing business, which generated $9,343,000 in product revenue compared to $3,151,000
for the same period in 2011. Royalty and research revenue for the first quarter of 2012, consisting primarily of royalty payments from Bristol-Myers Squibb on the U.S. sales of Orencia , was $3,482,000, compared to $2,756,000 for the same period in 2011. The three-month period ended March 31, 2012 marks the first full fiscal quarter for which
the Company is reporting consolidated financial results since its acquisition of Novozymes Biopharma Sweden AB (now Repligen Sweden AB) in December 2011.
Our acquisition of Repligen Sweden has provided us significant revenue growth and positioned us to benefit from the long term growth of the market for biologic drugs, stated Walter C. Herlihy,
Ph.D., President and CEO of Repligen. We currently expect bioprocessing revenue of $39 to $41 million in 2012, and we have begun to implement cost reduction efforts to improve manufacturing margins.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were $11,657,000 compared to $7,993,000 for the same period 2011, an increase of $3,665,000 or 46%.
Operating expenses included increases in cost of product revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,633,000 and $1,236,000, respectively, compared to the first three months of 2011. These increases are primarily due to the
addition of Repligen Sweden AB, which was not part of the Company during the 2011 period. In addition, research and development expenses decreased by $976,000 during the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
