Summary:
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y., May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MINRAD International, Inc. (AMEX:BUF), an interventional pain management company, today reported revenue of $11.8 million for the first quarter of 2008, an increase of 307% compared to $2.9 million of revenue in the first quarter of 2007. The Company had a net loss of $3.2 million, or a $0.06 loss per basic and diluted share for the quarter of 2008 compared to a net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.07 loss per basic and diluted share in the first quarter of 2007.
"First Quarter 2008 performance demonstrated solid improvement in revenue and gross margin over the same period a year ago. While we continue to experience start-up issues with our new sevoflurane line, the plant expansion clearly puts us at a new operating plateau. Gross margins should also improve in future quarters. During the first quarter we incurred $1.4 million in expenses in conjunction with the World Congress of Anesthesia ("WCA") and our international distributor meeting. The WCA is held once every four years. As a result, these one-time expenses will not recur during the balance of 2008," said Bill Burns, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
Dave DiGiacinto, President and Chief Operating Officer said "Our first quarter performance provides a solid indication of what the company is capable of achieving as we grow our presence in all markets and continue to increase our production output of anesthesia products. Additionally our recently completed $40 million financing that was supported by both existing and new investors provides the Company the needed funding as we enter the execution phase of our 2008 business plan." Revenue Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $11.8 million, an increase of $8.9 million or 307% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The primary driver of the change in revenue was an increase in sevoflurane revenue in the United States.

Revenue increases were achieved in all regions except the Western Hemisphere.

Revenue from our primary distributor in the United States was $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2008 compared to $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 primarily because sevoflurane was not approved for sale in the United States by the company until May, 2007.

Gross Profit Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $4.0 million, an increase of $3.3 million or 471% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in gross profit resulted from increased revenue and lower costs of production achieved at the Company's Bethlehem, Pennsylvania manufacturing facility, driven primarily by the start-up of the new independent sevoflurane production line in December, 2007. Gross margin for the first quarter was 33.5% of revenue, an increase of 1000 basis points compared to 23.5% for the first quarter of 2007.
Sales and Marketing Expenses (S&M): S&M expenses were $3.7 million or 31% of revenue for the first three months of 2008 compared to $1.9 million or 65% revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $1.8 million increase in S&M for the first quarter of 2008 was primarily related to $1.4 million related to the World Congress of Anesthesia, an event held once every four years. These expenses will not reoccur in future quarters of 2008. Excluding the latter, S&M increased $0.4 million to support the $8.9 million revenue increase.
Research and Development Expenses (R&D): R&D expenses were $1.1 million in the first quarter ending March 31 in both 2008 and 2007. As a percentage of revenue, R&D was 9% for the first quarter of 2008 compared to 36% for the first quarter of 2007.
Finance and Administrative Expenses (F&A): F&A expenses were $1.7 million or 15% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.2 million or 41% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The $0.5 million increase in 2008 related primarily to increases in incentive compensation and stock option expenses.
