Financial Highlights
- Consolidated net revenues for the first quarter of 2017 were $32.5 million, a 12% increase from the first quarter of 2016. Net product revenues were $31.5 million, representing a 25% increase over the first quarter of 2016.
- Net molecular collection systems revenues were $10.7 million during the first quarter of 2017, which represents a 55% increase over the first quarter of 2016.
- Total OraQuick® HCV sales of $6.1 million for the first quarter of 2017 increased 111% compared to the first quarter of 2016 and included a 340% increase in international sales of the product from the prior year quarter.
- Net revenues from international sales of the Company’s OraQuick® HIV products were $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2017, representing a 210% increase over the first quarter of 2016.
- First quarter 2017 results include a $12.5 million pre-tax gain related to the settlement of litigation against Ancestry.com DNA LLC and its contract manufacturer, which was accounted for as a reduction of operating expenses.
- The Company entered into a contract to supply more than $20 million of its saliva DNA collection devices, which represents the largest supply contract in the history of the Company’s molecular business.
- Consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2017 was $12.4 million, or $0.21 per share on a fully diluted basis, which compares to consolidated net income of $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share on a fully diluted basis, for the first quarter of 2016.
- Cash and short-term investments totaled $141.5 million and working capital amounted to $162.2 million at March 31, 2017.
”We are extremely pleased with our financial performance and the progress made on our growth objectives during the first quarter,” said Douglas A. Michels, President and Chief Executive Officer of OraSure Technologies, Inc. “Product sales increased 25% over the prior year, led by strong results from our molecular business. International sales of our OraQuick® HIV self-test and OraQuick® HCV product were also significant contributors in the quarter. Our business momentum remains strong and we are well positioned to further capitalize on the exciting market opportunities we are pursuing.”
Financial Results
Consolidated net product revenues for the first quarter of 2017 increased 25% over the comparable period of 2016, primarily as a result of higher sales of the Company’s molecular products and higher international sales of the OraQuick® HIV self-test and OraQuick® HCV product, partially offset by lower domestic sales of the Company’s professional OraQuick® HIV product and lower cryosurgical systems sales.
Consolidated other revenues were $1.1 million and $3.8 million for the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Other revenues in the first quarter of 2017 included $1.1 million of funding received from the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research Development Authority (“BARDA”). Other revenues in the first quarter of 2016 included $482,000 of funding received from BARDA and $3.4 million of exclusivity revenues recognized under the Company’s HCV co-promotion agreement with AbbVie, which terminated effective December 31, 2016.
Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 62% compared to 70% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Gross margin for the current quarter decreased due to the absence of exclusivity revenues, increased scrap and spoilage costs, and a less favorable product mix.
Consolidated operating expenses decreased to $4.4 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the $12.5 million gain on the litigation settlement, the absence of costs associated with the AbbVie HCV co-promotion agreement and lower legal fees. These decreases were partially offset by higher research and development expenses and increased general and administrative costs.
The Company’s cash and short-term investment balance totaled $141.5 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $120.9 million at December 31, 2016. Working capital was $162.2 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $139.1 million at December 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company generated $12.6 million in cash from operations.
Second Quarter 2017 Outlook
The Company expects consolidated net revenues to range from $36.5 to $37.0 million and is projecting consolidated net income of $0.07 to $0.08 per share for the second quarter of 2017.
