Cipher reports record financial results for Q3 2013
Cipher Pharmaceuticals (TSX:DND)
Revenue increases to $5.6 million and earnings per share rise to $0.14
MISSISSAUGA,, ON, Oct. 30, 2013 /CNW/ - Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: DND) ("Cipher") today announced its financial and operational results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Q3 2013 Highlights
•Net revenue increased to $5.6 million, from $2.1 million in Q3 2012.
•EBITDA1 of $3.6 million versus $1.0 million in Q3 2012.
•Net income was $3.4 million, or $0.14 per share, compared with net income of $0.08 million, or $0.03 per share, in Q3 2012.
•Cash balance increased to $20.0 million at quarter end, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012 and $17.8 million at June 30, 2013.
•Launched Epuris™ (isotretinoin) capsules in the Canadian market.
"Absorica™ performed well again in the third quarter, with market share increasing to 17.3%2 by September from 13.1% in June, resulting in strong increases in our revenue, earnings and cash," said Larry Andrews, President and CEO of Cipher. "While Epuris™ was only launched recently, feedback from the Canadian dermatology community has been very encouraging. With a healthy financial position, we continue to pursue growth through product portfolio expansion and new out-licensing agreements for our current products in other regions."
Financial Review
Net revenue for Q3 2013 was $5.6 million, compared with $2.1 million in Q3 2012. The year-over-year increase was mainly driven by the success of Absorica™, which contributed $4.5 million of net revenue in Q3 2013 versus $0.5 million in Q3 2012.
Net revenue from Lipofen® was $0.6 million in Q3 2013, compared with $1.3 million in Q3 2012. The comparable period in 2012 benefited from $0.4 million in revenue from a retroactive increase in Cipher's royalty percentage.
Net revenue from the Company's extended release tramadol product (ConZip®/Durela®) increased to $0.5 million in Q3 2013, compared with $0.3 million in Q3 2012.
Research and Development expense in Q3 2013 was $0.4 million, a slight increase over $0.3 million in Q3 2012. Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses for Q3 2013 increased to $1.7 million, compared to $0.8 million in Q3 2012. The year-over-year increase in SG&A reflects the build out of the Company's commercial infrastructure in Canada to support the launch of Epuris™ and future products.
Net income in Q3 2013 grew to $3.4 million, or $0.14 per share ($0.13 per share on a fully diluted basis), compared with net income of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per share, in Q3 2012.
The Company's cash position increased at quarter end. As at September 30, 2013, Cipher had cash and cash equivalents of $20.0 million, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012.
1 EBITDA - Non-IFRS Financial Measure: the term EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) does not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash share-based compensation.

Product Update
Absorica™/Epuris™ (CIP-ISOTRETINOIN)
Absorica™ was released in the U.S. market in late November 2012. The product has performed well to date, achieving 17.3% market share by September 2013, compared to 13.1% in June 2013, based on total isotretinoin prescriptions. In addition, the overall U.S. isotretinoin market continues to show growth. Prescriptions increased by 15%3 in the nine months of 2013 and by 19%4 in Q3 2013, over the comparable periods in the prior year. While total U.S. prescriptions increased year-over-year, they declined from Q2 2013 to Q3 2013. This is consistent with the historical seasonal pattern that has seen total U.S. isotretinoin prescriptions decrease by approximately 11% from Q2 (the summer months) to Q3. Based on Absorica's strong sales performance to-date, Cipher expects to achieve a US$10.0 million milestone payment by the end of Q1 2014 at the latest (50% of which would be shared with its technology partner, Galephar Pharmaceutical Research).
In September 2013, Cipher's partner Ranbaxy received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice of filing from Watson Laboratories Inc. ("Watson") of an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") to the FDA for a generic version of Absorica™.
Ranbaxy and Cipher intend to vigorously defend Absorica's intellectual property rights and pursue all available legal and regulatory pathways in defense of the product. Cipher has been advised by Ranbaxy that this development has no impact on current sales and marketing plans for the product, and that Ranbaxy plans to continue to invest in Absorica™ to increase sales and market penetration.
CIP-ISOTRETINOIN was approved by Health Canada in Q4 2012 under the trade name Epuris™. Cipher launched Epuris™ in early July 2013, supported by a field sales force of six full-time representatives and one part-time representative.
Lipofen® (CIP-FENOFIBRATE)
In Q3 2013, new prescriptions for Lipofen® were 6% below Q3 2012 levels. Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Cipher's U.S. marketing partner for Lipofen®, plans to continue to promote the product in a second detail position for the remainder of 2013.
ConZip®/Durela® (CIP-TRAMADOL ER)
Cipher's extended-release tramadol is marketed in the U.S. by Vertical Pharmaceuticals under the trade name ConZip®. In Q1 2013, Vertical expanded its sales force from 60 to 75 representatives, which has contributed to modestly improved performance. In Q3 2013, prescriptions grew 3% compared to Q3 2012. In Canada, Medical Futures launched the product in March 2012 under the trade name Durela®, with a dedicated sales force comprising 22 representatives. Following its strong performance in Q2 2013, the product continued to demonstrate steady improvement, with a 25% growth in sales during Q3 2013.
In Q2 2013, Cipher out-licensed the Latin American distribution rights for CIP-TRAMADOL ER to Tecnofarma International Ltd. Cipher is working closely with Tecnofarma in preparing regulatory submissions for certain countries in Latin America.
Cipher is also actively pursuing marketing partners for CIP-TRAMADOL ER and CIP-ISOTRETINOIN in other territories.
Other Products
In Q3 2012, Cipher obtained exclusive license and distribution rights in Canada to market the Betesil® Patch, a novel, patent-protected, self-adhesive medicated plaster for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as plaque psoriasis. The efficacy and safety of the Betesil® Patch has been established in three successful phase III trials, and the product is currently marketed in several European countries. Cipher is working with its partner, Institut Biochimique SA, on a New Drug Submission for the product, and will provide additional detail on expected timelines and plans in the coming months.
In addition, the Company is seeking other late-stage to commercial-stage product candidates targeting specialty markets to support its commercial marketing and sales presence in Canada.

CPHMF.. $5.45.. Cipher reports record financial results for Q2 2013
Revenue increases to $5.5 million; Company records earnings per share of $0.13... Toronto Stock Exchange Symbol: DND
MISSISSAUGA, ON, July 31, 2013 /CNW/ - Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: DND) ("Cipher") today announced its financial and operational results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Q2 2013 Highlights
•Net revenue increased to $5.5 million, from $1.6 million in Q2 2012.
•EBITDA of $3.3 million versus $0.4 million in Q2 2012.
•Net income was $3.1 million, or $0.13 per basic share, compared with net income of $0.02 million, or $0.01 per basic share, in Q2 2012.
•Cash balance increased to $17.8 million at quarter end, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012 and $16.5 million at March 31, 2013.
•Out-licensed Latin American distribution rights for CIP-TRAMADOL ER to Tecnofarma International Ltd.
•Subsequent to quarter end, announced the Canadian launch of Epuris™ (isotretinoin) capsules.
"The continued strong growth of Absorica™ drove significant gains in our revenue, earnings and cash for the second quarter," said Larry Andrews, President and CEO of Cipher. "The product was up to 13.1% share of the U.S. isotretinoin market by June, from 7.5% at the end of Q11, and the feedback from our marketing partner Ranbaxy has been very positive. We launched the product in Canada in late June with our own sales force and are pursuing out-licensing agreements in other markets. We are also looking at opportunities to expand our product portfolio."
Financial Review and Outlook
Net revenue for Q2 2013 was $5.5 million, compared with $1.6 million in Q2 2012. The year-over-year increase was mainly driven by the success of Absorica™, which contributed $4.2 million of net revenue in Q2 2013 versus $0.3 million in Q2 2012.
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Absorica™/Epuris™ (CIP-ISOTRETINOIN)
Absorica™ was released in the U.S. market in late November 2012. The product has performed strongly to date, achieving 13.1% market share by June 2013, based on total isotretinoin prescriptions. In addition, the overall U.S. isotretinoin market continues to show growth. Prescriptions increased by 15%2 in the first half of 2013 and by 17%3 in Q2 2013, over the comparable periods in the prior year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net revenue from Lipofen® was $0.8 million in Q2 2013, compared with $0.9 million in Q2 2012. Net revenue from the Company's extended release tramadol product (ConZip®/Durela®) increased to $0.5 million in Q2 2013, compared with $0.4 million in Q2 2012.
Research and Development expense in Q2 2013 was $0.3 million, the same level as incurred in Q2 2012. Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses for Q2 2013 increased to $1.9 million, compared to $0.9 million in Q2 2012. The year-over-year increase in SG&A reflects the planned build out of the Company's commercial infrastructure in Canada to support the launch of Epuris™ and future products. The Company incurred approximately $0.5 million of one-time costs to support the June 2013 launch of Epuris™.
Net income in Q2 2013 grew to $3.1 million, or $0.13 per basic share ($0.12 per diluted share), compared with net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, in Q2 2012.
The Company's cash position increased at quarter end. As at June 30, 2013, Cipher had cash and cash equivalents of $17.8 million, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012.
For the second half of fiscal 2013, Cipher expects continued aggregate revenue growth from its currently marketed products and the recent introduction of Epuris™ in Canada. In particular, the Company expects the full-year contribution of Absorica™ to be a primary revenue driver. In 2013, Cipher will be investing in commercial sales and marketing capabilities in Canada. The Company expects an increase in operating expenses of approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million during the balance of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, related to the launch of Epuris™ in Canada. Cipher expects its revenue growth to continue to offset the additional spending required to build its commercial infrastructure in Canada.

Lipofen® (CIP-FENOFIBRATE)
In Q2 2013, Lipofen® prescriptions were 6% below Q2 2012 levels, however, Cipher's royalty increased over the period due to the 3% increase in the royalty rate compared to prior year. Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Cipher's U.S. marketing partner for Lipofen®, plans to continue to promote the product in a second detail position throughout the remainder of 2013.
ConZip®/Durela® (CIP-TRAMADOL ER)

The product demonstrated steady improvement and market share growth during Q2 2013.
Cipher is actively pursuing marketing partners for CIP-TRAMADOL ER and CIP-ISOTRETINOIN in other territories, including Latin America. During Q2 2013, Cipher granted the Latin American distribution rights to CIP-TRAMADOL ER to Tecnofarma International Ltd. Tecnofarma, headquartered in Uruguay, operates in 18 Latin American countries and following regulatory approval, plans to launch the product in several jurisdictions, including Brazil and Mexico.
Other Products
In Q3 2012, Cipher obtained exclusive license and distribution rights in Canada to market the Betesil® Patch, a novel, patent-protected, self-adhesive medicated plaster for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as plaque psoriasis. The efficacy and safety of the Betesil® Patch has been established in three successful phase III trials, and the product is currently marketed in several European countries. Cipher is working toward completion of a New Drug Submission for the product and will provide additional detail on expected timelines and plans in the coming months.
In addition, the Company is seeking other late-stage to commercial-stage product candidates targeting specialty markets to support its commercial marketing and sales presence in Canada.

=================================================
CPHMF.. $3.5849 USD.. Since that last post CPHMF is up 18.65% and I have tried to build a position.. While I have surpassed the $$$ position I once had in BIOYF I still would like to add on down dips if any occur..
It should not be considered cheap by VMC standrds but IMO as it is selling for a PE of less than 12 on projected earnings of this year,, with a nose bleed growth rate cheap enough to warrent a major position in my portfolios.. I believe all projections in the report below will be exceeded by at least 25%....

Analyst Note
Cipher Posts Solid 2012 Financial Results
03/01/2013
Download this Press Release ()
By Jason Napodano, CFA
On March 1, 2013, Cipher Pharmaceuticals (Toronto:DND.TO) / (OTC Markets:CPHMF) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. Total revenues in the fourth quarter were $2.9 million, up 177% over the fourth quarter 2011 and nicely ahead of our estimate for revenues of $2.4 million. The revenue up-tick was driven by milestone recognition and royalties from Ranbaxy on the newly launched Absorica (CIP-Isotretinoin), which hit the market in November 2012.
A Copy Of Our Full Report Can Be Downloaded Here >> Cipher/Napodano_3/1/2013
For the full year 2012, total revenues were $8.5 million, up 137% over revenues for the full year 2011. The growth in revenues year-over-year reflects the strong performance of Lipofen (CIP-fenofibrate), including an increase in product shipments and the achievement of a $1.0 million sales milestone in the first quarter 2012. Lipofen contributed $4.6 million in revenues in 2012, up from $2.2 million in 2011. ConZip and Durela (CIP-Tramadol-ER) contributed another $1.4 million in revenues in 2012, up from $0.8 million in 2011. Absorica contributed $2.6 million in revenues in 2012, up from $0.6 million in 2011.
Operating expenses for the full year 2012 totaled approximately $6.0 million, flat with 2011. R&D expense at $1.5 million was down meaningfully from $2.2 million in 2011. OG&A expense at $3.5 million was up slightly from $3.2 million in 2011. Net income for the fourth quarter 2012 totaled $1.6 million, or $0.06 per share. This was nicely ahead of our forecast for net income of $1.2 million, or $0.4 per share. Net income in the fourth quarter 2012 compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter 2011. For the full year 2012, net income totaled $2.5 million, or $0.10 per share. This compared to a loss of $2.3 million in 2011.
We are impressed that the company can grow its top-line by 137% while keeping expenses essentially flat. Cipher now has 3 products on the market with Lipofen, ConZip/Durela, and the recently launched Absorica. In the past we’ve written that Absorica is a game-changer for Cipher. Cipher plans to launch Epuris in Canada during the second half of 2013, and should be in position to file for approval of Betesil Patch in Canada by the end of the year. Cipher exited 2012 with approximately $15.3 million in cash and investments, up nicely from the $9.6 million balance at the end of 2011. In fact, Cipher grew its cash balance each quarter throughout 2013. We find the current balance sufficient to fund operations for the foreseeable future, as we believe that Cipher will continue to report positive cash flow throughout 2013 even in the face of building a specialty dermatology sales force to promote Epuris and Betesil Patch in Canada.
…Stock Still Attractive…
Based on our financial projections, Cipher should report total revenues in 2013 of around $13.8 million, with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.22 per share. This equates to a P/E ratio of only 11.1x our 2013 figure. In 2014, we model growth in revenues to $21.3 million, net income of $10.1 million and EPS of $0.40. A P/E ratio of 10x our 2014 estimate for $0.40 in EPS yields a price target of $4.00 per share.

"Building off this good start to the year, we are working toward the Canadian launch of Epuris by Q3 and have recently added experienced marketing and sales leadership to help us build our commercial presence in Canada. In addition, we recently licensed out the Latin American rights for our extended-release tramadol product to Tecnofarma International, which has deep experience in pain therapeutics and a large sales team in the region."
Financial Review and Outlook
Net revenue for Q1 2013 was $3.3 million, an increase of 82% compared with $1.8 million in Q1 2012. The contribution from Absorica™ was particularly strong in Q1 2013, with net revenue of $2.0 million, compared with $0.1 million in Q1 2012.
Net revenue from Lipofen® was $0.8 million in Q1 2013, compared with $1.4 million in Q1 2012. In Q1 2012, the Company received a milestone payment that contributed $0.5 million in net revenue for the quarter. Net revenue from the Company's extended release tramadol product (ConZip®/Durela®) increased to $0.5 million in Q1 2013, compared with $0.3 million in Q1 2012.
Research and Development expense decreased in Q1 2013 to $0.3 million, compared with $0.5 million in Q1 2012. Operating, General and Administrative expenses for Q1 2013 were $1.3 million, compared to $1.1 million in Q1 2012.
Net income in Q1 2013 grew to $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, in Q1 2012.
The Company's cash position increased at quarter end. As at March 31, 2013, Cipher had cash and cash equivalents of $16.5 million, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012.
For the balance of fiscal 2013, Cipher expects continued revenue growth from its currently marketed products and the introduction of Epuris™ in Canada during the second half of 2013. In particular, the Company expects the full-year contribution of Absorica™ to be a primary revenue driver. In 2013, Cipher will be investing in commercial sales and marketing capabilities in Canada. The Company expects an increase in operating expenses of approximately $2.0 million to $2.5 million during the balance of 2013 related to the launch of Epuris™ in Canada and to support other growth initiatives. In addition to one-time launch costs associated with marketing promotion and market access for Epuris™, the Company plans to deploy a 6 to 8 person field sales force in the second half of 2013.
Cipher expects the revenue growth in 2013 to offset the additional spending required to build its commercial infrastructure in Canada.
Product Update
CIP-ISOTRETINOIN (Absorica™/Epuris™)
Absorica™ was released in the U.S. market in late November 2012. The product has performed well to date, achieving 7.5% market share by March 2013, based on total isotretinoin prescriptions. The overall U.S. isotretinoin market grew in 2012, with prescriptions increasing 11% over the prior year, and this growth has continued into 2013 with Q1 2013 prescriptions increasing 13% over the same period in the prior year.
The product was also approved by Health Canada in Q4 2012 under the trade name Epuris™. The Company is preparing to launch Epuris™ by Q3 2013 and has commenced pre-commercial activities.
Lipofen®
Lipofen® prescriptions in Q1 2013 were 4% ahead of Q1 2012 levels, and the product continues to be promoted in second detail position by Cipher's partner.
CIP-TRAMADOL ER (ConZip®/Durela®)
Cipher's extended-release tramadol was launched in the U.S. by Vertical Pharmaceuticals in September 2011 under the trade name ConZip®. Subsequent to year end, Vertical expanded its sales force to 75 representatives, which has contributed to improved performance. In Q1 2013, prescriptions grew 15% compared to Q1 2012. In Canada, Medical Futures launched the product in March 2012 under the trade name Durela®, with a dedicated sales force comprising 22 representatives. While sales to date have been below expectations, there was continued steady improvement and growth during Q1 2013.
Cipher is actively pursuing marketing partners for CIP-TRAMADOL ER and CIP-ISOTRETINOIN in other territories, including Latin America. Subsequent to quarter end, Cipher announced that the Latin American distribution rights to CIP-TRAMADOL ER have been granted to Tecnofarma International Ltd. Tecnofarma, headquartered in Uruguay, operates in 18 Latin American countries and will launch the product in certain territories, including Brazil and Mexico.
Other Products
In Q3 2012, Cipher obtained exclusive license and distribution rights in Canada to market the Betesil® Patch, a novel, patent-protected, self-adhesive medicated plaster for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as plaque psoriasis. The efficacy and safety of the Betesil® Patch has been established in three successful phase III trials, and the product is currently marketed in several European countries. Cipher is working toward completion of a New Drug Submission for the product and will provide additional detail on expected timelines and plans in the coming months.

Re: 10 bagger post# 4774 Post # of 4945
CPHMF.. $3.5849 USD.. Since that last post CPHMF is up 18.65% and I have tried to build a position.. While I have surpassed the position I once had in BIOYF I still would like to add on down dips if any occur..
It should not be considered cheap by VMC standrds but IMO as it is selling for a PE of less than 12 on projected earnings of this year,, with a nose bleed growth rate cheap enough to warrent a major position in my portfolios.. I believe all projections in the report below will be exceeded by at least 40%....

Cipher Posts Solid 2012 Financial Results

By Jason Napodano, CFA
On March 1, 2013, Cipher Pharmaceuticals (Toronto:DND.TO) / (OTC Markets:CPHMF) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. Total revenues in the fourth quarter were $2.9 million, up 177% over the fourth quarter 2011 and nicely ahead of our estimate for revenues of $2.4 million. The revenue up-tick was driven by milestone recognition and royalties from Ranbaxy on the newly launched Absorica (CIP-Isotretinoin), which hit the market in November 2012.
A Copy Of Our Full Report Can Be Downloaded Here >> Cipher/Napodano_3/1/2013
For the full year 2012, total revenues were $8.5 million, up 137% over revenues for the full year 2011. The growth in revenues year-over-year reflects the strong performance of Lipofen (CIP-fenofibrate), including an increase in product shipments and the achievement of a $1.0 million sales milestone in the first quarter 2012. Lipofen contributed $4.6 million in revenues in 2012, up from $2.2 million in 2011. ConZip and Durela (CIP-Tramadol-ER) contributed another $1.4 million in revenues in 2012, up from $0.8 million in 2011. Absorica contributed $2.6 million in revenues in 2012, up from $0.6 million in 2011.
Operating expenses for the full year 2012 totaled approximately $6.0 million, flat with 2011. R&D expense at $1.5 million was down meaningfully from $2.2 million in 2011. OG&A expense at $3.5 million was up slightly from $3.2 million in 2011. Net income for the fourth quarter 2012 totaled $1.6 million, or $0.06 per share. This was nicely ahead of our forecast for net income of $1.2 million, or $0.4 per share. Net income in the fourth quarter 2012 compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter 2011. For the full year 2012, net income totaled $2.5 million, or $0.10 per share. This compared to a loss of $2.3 million in 2011.
We are impressed that the company can grow its top-line by 137% while keeping expenses essentially flat. Cipher now has 3 products on the market with Lipofen, ConZip/Durela, and the recently launched Absorica. In the past we’ve written that Absorica is a game-changer for Cipher. Cipher plans to launch Epuris in Canada during the second half of 2013, and should be in position to file for approval of Betesil Patch in Canada by the end of the year. Cipher exited 2012 with approximately $15.3 million in cash and investments, up nicely from the $9.6 million balance at the end of 2011. In fact, Cipher grew its cash balance each quarter throughout 2013. We find the current balance sufficient to fund operations for the foreseeable future, as we believe that Cipher will continue to report positive cash flow throughout 2013 even in the face of building a specialty dermatology sales force to promote Epuris and Betesil Patch in Canada.
…Stock Still Attractive…
Based on our financial projections, Cipher should report total revenues in 2013 of around $13.8 million, with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.22 per share. This equates to a P/E ratio of only 11.1x our 2013 figure. In 2014, we model growth in revenues to $21.3 million, net income of $10.1 million and EPS of $0.40. A P/E ratio of 10x our 2014 estimate for $0.40 in EPS yields a price target of $4.00 per share.
