TARO PROVIDES RESULTS FOR QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2020

Quarter reflects One-Time Charge for Global Resolution with DOJ

 

Hawthorne, NY, July 29, 2020 - Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TARO) (“Taro”) today provided unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

 

Quarter ended June 30, 2020 Highlights - compared to Quarter ended June 30, 2019

 

Net sales of $117.6 million, decreased $43.7 million.

 

Gross profit of $64.9 million decreased $36.8 million, and as a percentage of net sales was 55.2% compared to 63.1%.

 

Research and development expenses of $12.9 million decreased slightly from the prior year.

 

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses of $22.2 million, which includes the impact of COVID-19 related expenses and higher legal expenses, increased $2.5 million.

 

Settlements and loss contingencies of $478.9 million reflect the one-time settlement charge of $418.9 million related to the global resolution of the Department of Justice investigations into the U.S. generic pharmaceutical industry.  An additional provision of $60.0 million has been taken for the related ongoing multi-jurisdiction civil antitrust matters; however, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome.

 

Operating (loss) income was $(449.2) million. Excluding the settlement and loss contingencies charges, operating income was $29.8 million, a decrease of $38.8 million, and as a percentage of net sales was 25.3% as compared to 42.5%.

 

Interest and other financial income decreased $2.3 million to $7.3 million, reflecting the lower global interest rate environment.

 

Foreign Exchange income of $0.2 million compared to $7.9 million in the comparable quarter ─ an unfavorable impact of $7.7 million.

 

Tax expense of $8.9 million compared to a tax expense of $20.4 million ─ a favorable impact of $11.5 million. Excluding the impact from the settlement and loss contingencies charges, the effective tax rate for the quarter was 23.4% as compared to 23.6%.

 

Net (loss) income attributable to Taro was $(434.9) million. Excluding the settlement and loss contingencies charges, net income was $29.0 million compared to $66.2 million. Diluted (loss) per share for the quarter was $(11.37).  Excluding the settlement and loss contingencies charges, diluted earnings per share was $0.76 compared to $1.72.

 

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

 

Cash flow provided by operations was $64.1 million compared to $82.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

 

As of June 30, 2020, cash, including short-term and long-term marketable securities, increased $64.4 million to $1.63 billion from March 31, 2020.


Mr. Uday Baldota, Taro’s CEO stated, Regarding our results they reflect the challenging times that we are facing, not only due to the continuing uncertainty of the duration and impact of the COVID19 pandemic, but also in the overall U.S. generic industry which we believe will continue in the foreseeable future.  We are happy to have reached a resolution with the DOJ, so that we can move forward and sharpen our focus on growing our business.

 

FDA Approvals and Filings

 

Taro recently received approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for three Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”): Betamethasone Dipropionate Spray, 0.05%, Doxepin Hydrochloride Capsules USP, and Butalbital, Acetaminophen and Caffeine Capsules USP.  Taro currently has a total of nineteen ANDAs awaiting FDA approval, including five tentative approvals.

 

Taro Achieves Global Resolution of DOJ Antitrust Investigations

 

On July 23, 2020, Taro Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. (“Company”), globally resolved all matters related to the Company in connection with the multi-year investigations by the Department of Justice, Antitrust Division and Civil Division (“DOJ”) into the U.S. generic pharmaceutical industry. Under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement reached with DOJ Antitrust, the DOJ will file an Information for conduct that took place between 2013 and 2015. If the Company adheres to the terms of the agreement, including the payment of $205.7 million, the DOJ will dismiss the Information at the end of a three-year period. The Company has also reached a framework understanding with DOJ Civil, subject to final agreement and agency authorization, in which the Company has agreed to pay $213.3 million to resolve all claims related to federal healthcare programs. Accordingly, a charge of $418.9 million is taken in the current quarter and shown as Settlements and loss contingencies.

 

Form 20-F Filings with the SEC

 

On June 19, 2020, Taro filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.
