“SurModics generated record total revenue and double-digit revenue growth in all three of our operating segments for the second consecutive quarter,” said Bruce Barclay, president and CEO. “We are particularly gratified to achieve record revenue for the second consecutive quarter in our legacy business despite a 28% year-over-year decrease in Cypher stent-related revenue. Further Brookwood Pharmaceuticals generated record revenue, and both Brookwood and BioFX again contributed to overall earnings this quarter. These results demonstrate the significant benefits of our broad and diverse technology portfolio.”
“Our collaboration with Merck in ophthalmology continues to progress extremely well. In January we announced an extension of our license agreement with Merck, and we generated a record number of billable hours with Merck in the quarter. As of the end of the quarter, our total Merck deferred revenue balance had grown to $24.9 million,” continued Barclay. “The achievement of three of our fiscal 2008 goals added to the highlights of our second quarter performance. First, we announced the first in-human use of the SynBiosys™ biodegradable polymer on our customer CardioMind’s drug-eluting stent. Second, in February, Medtronic announced their U.S. launch of the Endeavor® Coronary Stent System which uses SurModics’ hydrophilic technology. Third, we generated $15.6 million in cash from our paid development activities so far this fiscal year, already surpassing our goal of $10 million. We are making excellent progress on our strategic plan for sustainable growth, and continue to believe in our ability to achieve our fiscal 2008 company goals as well as our long-term objectives.”
For the second quarter of fiscal 2008, revenue was $25.7 million, an increase of 48% from $17.4 million in the year earlier period. Total operating expenses, including product costs, were $18.5 million, which roughly doubled from $9.3 million last year. Operating income was $7.2 million, a decrease of 11% compared with $8.1 million in the prior-year period. Net income was $5.1 million, a decrease of 10% from $5.7 million in the same period last year. Diluted net income per share was $0.28, a 10% decrease from $0.31 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Earnings growth did not keep pace with revenue growth primarily as a result of the accounting treatment relating to our Merck agreement, higher stock-based compensation costs associated with recent board transitions, and a changing mix of revenue sources.

For the first six months of fiscal 2008, revenue was $49.5 million, compared with $34.1 million in the year earlier period. Operating income was $14.8 million, compared with $16.2 million in the prior year period; net income was $10.8 million, compared with $11.7 million in the year earlier period; and diluted net income per share was $0.58, compared with $0.64 in the first six months of fiscal 2007.
“This quarter we are providing shareholders with a more transparent picture of ongoing operations at SurModics by presenting supplemental non-GAAP disclosure related to the Merck agreement accounting treatment,” said Phil Ankeny, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “We believe that this supplemental non-GAAP disclosure complements our GAAP reporting, and allows the investment community to better understand current performance by showing what our results would have looked like had we fully recognized as revenue all of the items related to our significant collaboration with Merck, compared to amortizing the amounts, as we do under the applicable accounting treatment. Because the Merck agreement is so significant to our business, and given the effect the associated accounting has on our reported results, we are presenting this new non-GAAP disclosure to help investors understand the impact of that single agreement.”
On a non-GAAP basis (adjusting for the accounting treatment of the Merck agreement), for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, total revenue was $28.5 million, operating income was $9.9 million, net income was $6.8 million, and diluted net income per share was $0.37. On a non-GAAP basis, for the six-month period ending March 31, 2008, total revenue was $53.8 million, operating income was $19.0 million, net income was $13.3 million, and diluted net income per share was $0.72. As of March 31, 2008, the deferred revenue balance associated with the Merck agreement was $24.9 million.
SurModics’ cash and investment balances totaled $80.9 million as of March 31, 2008, up from $72.5 million as of December 31, 2007. Operating cash flow for the quarter was $4.5 million, compared with $4.7 million in the prior year period. SurModics also initiated its second share repurchase program in the quarter with repurchases totaling $2.6 million.

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, such as, statements about our ability to achieve our fiscal 2008 corporate goals and long-term objectives and statements regarding our pipeline, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including the following: (1) realizing the full potential benefits of the company’s agreement with Merck requires the development of new products and applications of technology; (2) costs or difficulties relating to the integration of the businesses of Brookwood Pharmaceuticals and BioFX Laboratories with SurModics’ business may be greater than expected and may adversely affect the company’s results of operations and financial condition; (3) our reliance on third parties, developments in the regulatory environment, as well as market and general economic conditions, may adversely affect our business operations and profitability and our ability to achieve our fiscal 2008 corporate goals and to realize the potential of our pipeline; (4) failure to obtain intellectual property rights protecting our proprietary technologies, or the expiration or loss of such rights, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; and (5) other factors identified under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, and updated in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC. These reports are available in the Investors section of our website at www.surmodics.com and at the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, SurModics is reporting non-GAAP financial results including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful insight into our operating performance as it relates to our Merck agreement accounting treatment and provide an alternative perspective of our results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to assess our operating performance and

 

 

SurModics Reports Record Total and Legacy Business Revenue in Second Quarter 2008
Page 6
presentation of these non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our results of operations from the same perspective as management and our board of directors. We believe these non-GAAP measures facilitate investors’ analysis and comparisons of our current results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of our future performance. We also believe that the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with both our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results provided for each period presented, which are attached to this release.
