  • "Fiscal 2008 was another strong year for SurModics, representing our eleventh consecutive year of record revenue since our IPO in 1998," said Bruce Barclay, president and CEO. "We achieved record revenue of $97.1 million in fiscal 2008, even though less than 20% of the cash we generated from Merck was recognized as revenue. Pro forma revenue, including the benefits of our agreement with Merck, was even more impressive, totaling a record $111.2 million. We also achieved record revenue in each of our three operating segments. For the fourth quarter, we are particularly pleased with our record Brookwood and BioFX results, as well as our strong operating cash flow."

    "Four years ago, we outlined a new strategy and seven-point revenue growth plan with the goal of maintaining sustainable growth well into the future," continued Barclay. "A key element of this strategy is diversifying our revenue streams, and I am pleased to report that our employees have made exceptional progress on this initiative. The percentage of SurModics' revenue derived from the Johnson & Johnson Cypher(R) drug eluting stent has decreased significantly thanks in part to strong growth in the rest of our business. Every year, we disclose the revenue attributable to J&J - which comes mostly from the Cypher stent, but also other J&J products that incorporate SurModics technologies. In fiscal 2008, J&J constituted 20% of total revenue, down from 33% last year. More dramatically, this figure is down from a peak of 52% in fiscal 2004. Most impressive is that in this four-year period, our non-J&J revenue - which comprises the rest of our business - has more than tripled, growing at a 34% compound annual growth rate."

    "While encouraged by our strong financial results," continued Barclay, "we are disappointed with Merck's decision to terminate their agreement with SurModics, a decision connected with their company-wide restructuring initiative aimed at reducing costs. Nevertheless, our work with Merck over the past several years has added valuable expertise and experience to our organization, allowing us to significantly advance our ophthalmology platforms and knowledge. Further, while we achieved most of our 2008 corporate goals, we have not yet signed an additional license agreement in ophthalmology. However, we remain both committed to, and confident in, all facets of the business, as we continue to make excellent progress with our multiple customers pursuing sustained drug delivery solutions on our various platforms in ophthalmology. Assuming we continue to make technical progress with their development projects, each customer will eventually need to negotiate a license agreement with SurModics."

    "Lastly, we continued to make excellent progress across the company in fiscal 2008," continued Barclay. "The integration of Brookwood Pharmaceuticals and BioFX Laboratories, both acquired in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 is proceeding extremely well, and each company generated record revenue in fiscal 2008. Brookwood continues to produce strong financial results, delivering a record $20.5 million in revenue in fiscal 2008, representing 35% growth year-over-year, (compared with Brookwood's full year fiscal 2007 results, even though we acquired Brookwood in the fourth quarter of 2007). The recent acquisition of certain assets of PR Pharmaceuticals will also benefit Brookwood both in 2009 and beyond. BioFX generated record revenue of $4.6 million in the year. In addition, our customers made outstanding progress advancing their products toward the market in fiscal 2008. Both CardioMind and Nexeon MedSystems (formerly known as Paragon Intellectual Properties) commenced first-in-human clinical trials during the year on products containing technologies licensed from SurModics. Further, our prospects are strong as we continue to expand into new markets, working with numerous customers in cardiovascular, orthopedic, ophthalmology, oncology, diabetes, dermatology, central nervous system, and pain, among others."

    Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was $23.2 million, an increase of 9% from $21.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The company reported operating income of $5.3 million, compared with an operating loss of $13.8 million in the prior-year period; a net loss of $0.8 million, compared with a net loss of $13.9 million in the same period last year; and diluted (loss) per share of ($0.05), compared with ($0.78) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 include a $4.3 million (or approximately $0.24 per diluted share) one-time, non-cash impairment loss on the company's investment in OctoPlus, whose stock price has experienced a significant decline as a result of market conditions. SurModics continues to hold its investment in OctoPlus, which announced in October a multi-million dollar licensing transaction involving its lead product. Prior year results include a $15.6 million (or approximately $0.85 per diluted share) one-time charge for purchased in-process research and development (IPR&D) in connection with the acquisition of Brookwood Pharmaceuticals. Excluding these charges and adjusting revenue for the accounting treatment of the Merck agreement, non-GAAP results were as follows. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, total revenue was $23.4 million, operating income was $5.5 million, net income was $3.6 million, and diluted net income per share was $0.20. On a non-GAAP basis, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007, total revenue was $21.9 million, operating income was $2.4 million, net income was $2.0 million, and diluted net income per share was $0.11.

    SurModics was informed by Merck on September 16, 2008 that, following a strategic review of its business and product development portfolio, Merck intends to terminate the Collaborative Research Agreement between our companies. Under the agreement, termination takes effect 90 days after notice to terminate the contract has been provided to SurModics. Accordingly, the agreements remain in full force and effect until the 90-day notice period lapses in December. Merck's decision to terminate the agreement also triggered an additional $9 million payment to SurModics, which will be recognized upon the effectiveness of the termination. Also in the first quarter, once the termination takes effect in December, we expect to recognize the remaining deferred revenue related to Merck. Accordingly, our first quarter of fiscal 2009 results likely will include the recognition of approximately $44 million in revenue from Merck in our GAAP reporting.

    Fiscal 2008 revenue was a record $97.1 million, a 33% increase compared with fiscal 2007 revenue of $73.2 million. The company reported operating income of $27.3 million, compared with $9.9 million in the prior year; net income of $14.7 million, compared with $3.3 million last year; and diluted net income per share of $0.80, compared with $0.18 in fiscal 2007. On a non-GAAP basis, for fiscal 2008, total revenue was a record $111.2 million, operating income was $41.4 million, net income was $27.7 million, and diluted net income per share was $1.51. On a non-GAAP basis, for fiscal 2007, total revenue was $93.8 million, operating income was $46.1 million, net income was $31.8 million, and diluted net income per share was $1.75.

    The company's pipeline continues to represent significant potential. SurModics signed four new licenses in the fourth quarter, bringing the fiscal year total to 23. During the fourth quarter, SurModics' customers introduced one new product class, bringing the total to 11 for the year. At September 30, a total of 103 customer product classes were on the market generating royalty revenue, compared with 100 in the prior-year period; the total number of licensed products not yet launched was 105, compared with 94 a year ago; and major non-licensed opportunities stood at 88, compared with 75 a year ago. In total, the company now has 193 potential commercial products in development.

    Operating cash flow for fiscal 2008 remained strong at $38.8 million, compared with $50.7 million for fiscal 2007, which included a $20 million up-front payment from Merck. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, operating cash flow was $16.2 million.

    SurModics' cash and investment balance was $72.0 million as of September 30, 2008, compared with $70.2 million as of September 30, 2007. "SurModics continues to be in excellent financial health," said Phil Ankeny, senior vice president and chief financial officer. "With a strong balance sheet and virtually no debt, we continue to be active in the deployment of capital with a goal of enhancing shareholder value, principally in the areas of share repurchase, business development and facilities-related investments. Following on the heels of our $35 million share repurchase completed in fiscal 2007, we have repurchased approximately $12.7 million of our stock in fiscal 2008 under our November 2007 Board authorization, and have a remaining authorization of over $22 million. On the business development front, we recently completed the acquisitions of the CodeLink microarray business from GE Healthcare and a portfolio of intellectual property and customer-paid collaborative drug delivery projects from PR Pharmaceuticals. Finally, the investments we are making in new facilities are vital to support our growing business. We believe our strategic initiatives and accomplishments in fiscal 2008 have strengthened our ability to build long-term shareholder value."

    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 our expectations about our pipeline and our ability to build long-term shareholder value, 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) our reliance on third parties (including our customers and licensees) and their failure to successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, market and sell products incorporating our technologies may adversely affect our business operations, our ability to realize the full potential of our pipeline, and the company's ability to achieve our fiscal 2008 corporate goals; (2) costs or difficulties relating to the integration of the businesses of Brookwood Pharmaceuticals and BioFX Laboratories, and the drug delivery assets and collaborative projects acquired from PR Pharmaceuticals, Inc., with SurModics' business may be greater than expected and may adversely affect the company's results of operations and financial condition; (3) developments in the regulatory environment, as well as market and economic conditions, may adversely affect our business operations and profitability; and (4) 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 excluding certain one-time charges and 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 to determine payout under our executive compensation programs. We believe that 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.
