Second Quarter Ending December 31, 2009 Financial Results

Revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 was approximately $14.9 million, an increase of 47.9% compared to $10.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase was attributable to higher sales of both existing and new products, channel expansion efforts that increased market penetration, and increased utilization of the Company’s expanded production facility. Revenues from the top three selling products, Ginkgo Mihuan Oral Liquid, Arpu Shuangxin Oral Liquid, and Azithromycin Dispersible Tablets, were $7.6 million and represented approximately 51% of total revenues collectively for the quarter.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was approximately $7.2 million or 48.1% of revenue as compared to $4.9 million or 49.0% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2008, yielding a gross profit of $7.8 million and gross margins of 51.9%, compared to $5.2 million in gross profit and gross margins of 51.0% during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Gross margins improved as a result of an increase in higher margin products in the sales mix along with greater efficiencies in our production and manufacturing processes.
 
 
 


 
Operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were approximately $4.6 million, up 72.0% compared to the same period in 2008. Selling, general and administration expenses for the period increased to approximately $4.4 million from $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of the implementation of Tianyin’s sales and marketing strategy, including increased sales payrolls and direct marketing expenses, in addition to non-cash stock compensation expense of $0.9 million.  Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 increased 134.4% to $0.2 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled approximately $3.2 million, a 27.2% increase from the $2.5 million reported for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Operating margins were 21.1% and 24.5% for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009, respectively as the Company continued to spend aggressively on sales and marketing initiatives to generate incremental and future product sales.

GAAP net income was approximately $2.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, a 24.8% increase, compared to $2.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Diluted earnings per share were $0.08 compared to $0.13 for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 respectively, based upon 30.4 million and 15.7 million shares. Adjusted net income, which adds back the non-cash equity compensation charge of $0.9 million, was $3.4 million, representing 62.0% year-over year growth with earnings of $0.11 per diluted share. The divergence in the share count relates to the preferred shares which have been and are convertible into common, in addition to common shares issued in October 2009 private placement, and warrants both exercised and outstanding.

“Our strong performance in the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2010 was driven by continued execution of our growth strategy, including the expansion of our sales force and distribution channels, increased sales and marketing activities to support market share gains for our expanding portfolio of products, in addition to rapid utilization of our newly added manufacturing capacity,” stated Dr. Guoqing Jiang, Tianyin’s Chief Executive Officer. “To facilitate our future growth strategy and to diversify our product offering, we formalized a joint venture named Sichuan Jiangchuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to produce macrolide antibiotics, which addresses a large and rapidly growing market in China. We have secured the property and commenced construction for our new production facility and expect this to be a key contributor to growth during fiscal 2011.  In addition, we received SFDA approval for four new generic products, which complement our portfolio and address established billion dollar plus markets that cover multiple indications. We currently have 40 drug candidates under SFDA review and believe the Chinese stimulus plan, favorable health care policies, increased consumer disposable income, and favorable demographic trends will continue driving overall growth in demand for the pharmaceutical market.”

The company has not previously incurred on a regular basis a charge of this nature.


Note: To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Tianyin Pharmaceutical Corp. uses non-GAAP measures, such as Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per share, which exclude certain non cash expenses. This non-GAAP adjustment is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our historical and current financial performance and our prospects for the future. We believe the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses we believe are not indicative of our core operating results.
