Repligen Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2013 Financial Results
- 2013 Product Revenue Growth of 13.5% -
- Year-over-Year Net Income Up 13.7% to $16.1 Million -
- Earnings Conference Call and Webcast Today at 9:00 a.m. EST -
WALTHAM, MA March 6, 2014 Repligen Corporation (NASDAQ:RGEN) today reported financial results for the full year and fourth quarter
ended December 31, 2013. Below are the Company s financial and business highlights for these periods, followed by financial guidance for the year 2014 and access information for today s webcast and conference call.
2013 Financial Highlights
Operating expenses for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013 were $45.3 million compared to $51.2 million for the year 2012, a decrease of $5.9
million or 11.5%. This decrease was driven by a 9.9% reduction in cost of product revenue to $22.5 million and a 30.0% decrease in research and development (R&D) expense to $7.3 million. The decrease in cost of product revenue was generally the
result of improved capacity utilization and process yields. The decrease in R&D expense was primarily the result of lower spending on clinical development programs since the Company s strategic realignment to focus on building its
bioprocessing business. For the year 2013, sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased by $526,000 or 4.0%.
Repligen Reports Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2013 Financial Results
Walter Herlihy, Ph.D., President and CEO of Repligen said, 2013 was an exceptional year for Repligen,
during which we met or exceeded our financial goals while building value for our key customers and shareholders. Our financial performance was highlighted by strong top-line results, and substantial margin expansion. Strategically, Repligen is now
established as a pure play bioprocessing company following our decision in 2012 to divest our therapeutic development programs.
2013 Financial Highlights
Bioprocessing product revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $10.4 million compared to $9.7 million for the same period
in 2012, an increase of 6.6%. Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $15.4 million compared to $18.8 million for the same period in 2012, a decrease of 18.2%. This decrease was primarily the result of a $5.0 million upfront payment from
Pfizer, Inc. ( Pfizer ) recognized during the 2012 period under the terms of an outlicensing agreement for the Company s spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) clinical development program. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2013
were $10.2 million compared to $12.4 million for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $2.2 million or 17.8%. Approximately $1.3 million of this decrease was the result of reduced cost of product revenue, which declined 21.8%. This reduction
resulted in product gross margin of 55.3% compared to 39.0% for the same period in 2012. For the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, R&D expense decreased by $921,000 or 39.3%, and SG&A expense increased by $113,000
or 3.5%. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $3.3 million, a decrease from $9.6 million for the same period in 2012. During the 2013 quarter, we recorded an $800,000 provision based on an ongoing tax audit to determine whether certain
historical R&D tax credits will prevail. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we recognized a $3.0 million tax benefit from our U.S. net operating losses (NOLs). Earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $0.10 compared to
$0.30 for the same period in 2012.
