Segments and Geographic Information

The Company and its subsidiaries currently operate in two segments: product and service. The product segment oversees the supply chain and manufacturing of Crinone, the Company’s sole commercialized product. The service segment includes product development, clinical trial manufacturing, and advanced analytical and consulting services for the Company’s customers as well as characterizing and developing pharmaceutical product candidates for the Company’s internal programs and managing certain preclinical activities including manufacturing of the Company’s pipeline products. In September 2013, the Company acquired Juniper Pharma Services, a U.K.-based provider of pharmaceutical development, clinical trial manufacturing, and advanced analytical and consulting services to the pharmaceutical industry. The Company has integrated its supply chain management for its sole commercialized product, Crinone into those operations and have therefore sought to capture synergies by transferring all operational activities related to its historic business.  The Company owns certain plant and equipment physically located at third-party contractor facilities in the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The Company conducts its advanced formulation, analytical and consulting services through its subsidiary, Juniper Pharma Services.

The Company’s largest customer, Merck KGaA, utilizes a Switzerland-based subsidiary to acquire product from the Company, which it then sells throughout the world excluding the U.S. The Company’s primary domestic customer, Allergan, is responsible for the commercialization and sale of progesterone products in the United States. In November 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with Allergan to monetize future royalty payments.  Under the agreement, the Company received a one-time payment of $11.0 million representing all future U.S. royalty amounts payable.  This amount was included in revenue in the year ended December 31, 2016.  The following tables show selected information by geographic area (in thousands):

Patent Expiration

Juniper is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel intra-vaginal therapeutics that address unmet medical needs in women’s health. All of the Company’s product sales are outside the United States. The patent for Crinone has expired in all countries other than Argentina. This product accounts for approximately 65% of the Company’s revenues and a higher percentage of gross profit.

Sources of Supply

The major raw materials the Company uses in its products and product candidates are polycarbophil and progesterone. Medical grade, cross-linked polycarbophil, the polymer used in the BDS-based product is currently available from only one supplier, Lubrizol Inc. (“Lubrizol”). The Company believes that Lubrizol will supply as much of the material as it requires because the product ranks among the highest value-added uses of the polymer. In the event that Lubrizol cannot or will not supply enough polycarbophil to satisfy the Company’s needs, however, Juniper will be required to seek alternative sources of supply.

Only one supplier of progesterone for Crinone is approved by regulatory authorities outside the United States. Juniper has not experienced production delays due to shortages of progesterone. Beginning in 2017, this supplier increased the price for its progesterone. The second supplier has been approved in several countries and is in the regulatory approval process in numerous other countries. The Company expects to receive regulatory approval for this second supplier in the countries where it sells Crinone within the next two years.
