Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled for 8:30 AM EST Today
RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (NASDAQ: BDSI), a rapidly growing specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to patients living with serious and complex chronic conditions, today reported strong financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, as well as the following operational and performance highlights.
Key Business Highlights
- Total Company net revenue for the third quarter increased by 30% versus the prior year period to $39.4 million. This growth was driven by BELBUCA® net sales of $34.8 million, an increase of 31% versus the prior year period, and Symproic® net sales of $3.5 million, an increase of 59% compared to the third quarter of 2019.
- BELBUCA reached all-time high prescription volume and market share, with total BELBUCA prescriptions of more than 114,500 during the third quarter, representing year-over-year prescription volume growth of 25%.
- Symproic reached all-time high prescription volume and market share, with total Symproic prescriptions of more than 18,100 in the third quarter, representing growth of 12% versus the prior year.
- Achieved significant growth to $9.4 million of GAAP Net Income and an attractive 34% EBITDA Margin in the third quarter.
- Jeff Bailey appointed as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) after serving as interim CEO since May 2020.
- Announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Company’s shares of common stock. The Company plans to utilize existing cash on hand to fund the share repurchase program.
“Our commercial execution during the third quarter has been extremely impactful as evidenced by strong prescription trends for both BELBUCA and Symproic, which have continued in October,” stated Jeff Bailey, CEO of BDSI. “I am proud to permanently join the talented BDSI team and very confident in our ability to execute on our vision to deliver innovative products to patients while maximizing shareholder value.”
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
Total Company Net Revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was a record $39.4 million, an increase of 30% compared to $30.3 million in the third quarter of 2019, and an increase of 8% compared to $36.6 million in the second quarter of 2020.
BELBUCA Net Sales for the third quarter of 2020 were $34.8 million, an increase of 31% compared to $26.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, and an increase of 7% compared to $32.3 million in the second quarter of 2020. While BELBUCA gross to net deductions increased in the third quarter as anticipated, primarily due to typical increases seen for Medicare coverage gap, along with increased Medicaid costs, those increases were favorably impacted by updates to our channel estimates reflected in the third quarter of 2020.
Symproic Net Sales for the third quarter were $3.5 million, an increase of 59% compared to $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2019, and an increase of 1% compared to $3.4 million in the second quarter of 2020.
BUNAVAIL Net Revenue for the third quarter was $0.6 million, reflecting the release of a portion of the returns reserves taken at the time discontinuation was announced. In March, the Company announced the discontinuation of marketing of BUNAVAIL.
Total Operating Expenses for the third quarter of 2020 were $22.5 million, compared to $23.4 million in the third quarter of 2019 and $28.2 million in the second quarter of 2020.
GAAP Net Income for the third quarter of 2020 was $9.4 million, or $0.09 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $0.4 million, or $0.00 per share, in the third quarter of 2019 and GAAP net income of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share, for the second quarter of 2020.
EBITDA for the third quarter of 2020 was $13.4 million, or 34% of net sales, compared to $3.5 million or 11.6% of net sales in the third quarter of 2019 and $5.1 million or 13.9% of net sales in the second quarter of 2020.
Non-GAAP Net Income for the third quarter of 2020 was $12.7 million and reflects GAAP net income excluding stock-based compensation and non-cash amortization of intangible assets. This reflects an increase of $9.2 million as compared to non-GAAP net income of $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2019, excluding the same items, and an increase of $3.1 million compared to non-GAAP net income of $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2020, excluding stock-based compensation, non-cash amortization of intangible assets, the non-recurring financial impact of the BUNAVAIL discontinuation and the one-time expenses related to the CEO transition incurred in the second quarter.
Cash Position: As of September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were approximately $100.2 million, compared to $63.9 million at December 31, 2019, reflecting the generation of positive operating cash flow of $9.0 million and $14.0 million in the three and nine month periods, respectively, through September 30th. The total cash flow generation year to date of $36.3 million includes the operating cash generation of $14.0 million, $2.8 million in proceeds from the exercise of options, and $19.6 million of net proceeds from increasing our existing credit facility.
“The continuing market performance of both BELBUCA and Symproic, together with our strong profitability and balance sheet, and most importantly the commitment of our team to serving patients, position BDSI well to continue to drive long-term shareholder value,” stated Jeff Bailey.

CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release and any statements of employees, representatives, and partners of BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (“BDSI”) related thereto contain, or may contain, among other things, certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Such statements may include, without limitation, statements with respect to BDSI’s plans, objectives, projections, expectations and intentions and other statements identified by words such as “projects,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “potential” or similar expressions. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of BDSI’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in BDSI’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results (including, without limitation, the continued growth in BELBUCA and Symproic net sales and total company net revenue in 2020) may differ materially from those set forth or implied in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond BDSI’s control) including the risk that the current coronavirus pandemic impacts on our supply chain, commercial partners, patients and their physicians and the healthcare facilities in which they work, and our personnel are greater than we anticipate, as well as those set forth in our 2019 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and subsequent filings. BDSI undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future presentations or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, including non-GAAP net income and EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
Non-GAAP net income adjusts for one-time and non-cash charges by excluding the following from GAAP net income: stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of certain warrant discount costs in second quarter 2019, and the financial impact of certain one-time items that are non-recurring, including the financial impact of the debt refinancing in the second quarter 2019, the discontinuation of marketing of BUNAVAIL, and costs associated with the CEO transition.
EBITDA excludes net interest, including both interest expenses and interest income, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The Company's management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's performance. The Company provides these non-GAAP measures of the Company's performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the Company's results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, non-GAAP net income and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net income and EBITDA should not be considered measures of our liquidity.
A reconciliation of certain GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
