• On September 24, 2014, IGI acquired eighteen former AstraZeneca products, seventeen of which were injectable products

IGI's President and Chief Executive Officer, Jason Grenfell-Gardner, stated, "At the beginning of 2014, we said this would be a year of transformation for IGI, and as we end the third quarter, we believe that we have delivered on that promise.  The two acquisitions we completed at the end of September are initial drivers of a broader strategy to become a leader in the specialty generic pharmaceutical drug market. While we will continue expanding our reach into the topical market, we will also pursue targeted opportunities in the injectable, complex and ophthalmic generic pharmaceutical markets.   We call this our TICO strategy, as it represents our strategic focus to leverage our assets and expertise across the topicals, injectables, complex and ophthalmic spaces.  As of today, we have seventeen ANDAs pending at the FDA, with an addressable market of over $465 million as of August 2014, and four additional ANDAs, which we have filed with three of our pharmaceutical partners under joint development agreements."  Mr. Grenfell-Gardner continued, "We increased total revenue by 67% over the same quarter last year, and improved margins to end the third quarter of 2014 with a gross margin of 42%, which included our adjustment to net revenue of just over $3.8 million related to price protection for our customers after our price increase for econazole nitrate cream 1% took effect in September.  We expect to be on schedule to file at least ten ANDAs by the end of 2014.  We forecast net revenue for 2014 to be $31.5 to $33.0 million, gross margin for 2014 to approximate 50% and net income for the full year to range between $2.0 and $3.0 million."
