Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(in thousands, except for share and per share information)
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of presentation:
Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following rules for interim reporting as prescribed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As permitted under those rules, we have condensed or omitted a number of footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, operating results and cash flows. Operating results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include Sagent as well as our wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We account for our investment in Sagent Agila LLC (formerly Sagent Strides LLC) using the equity method of accounting, as our interest in the entity provides for joint financial and operational control.
Certain amounts previously included in accounts payable have been reclassified to accrued liabilities to conform to the current period presentation.
You should read these statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2014, included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015.
Note 2: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. We are required to adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2017, using one of two prescribed retroactive methods. Early adoption is not permitted. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one year deferral to the new revenue guidance. If approved, we would be required to adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2018. We are evaluating the impact of the amended revenue recognition guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance on the model used to evaluate whether certain legal entities should be consolidated. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Acquisitions:
Omega Acquisition
On October 1, 2014, we, through our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Sagent Acquisition Corp., entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of 7685947

Canada Inc., and its subsidiary, Omega Laboratories Limited (collectively, “Omega”), a privately held Canadian pharmaceutical and specialty healthcare products company for C$92,768 ($82,693), after accounting for net post-closing adjustments of C$191 ($170).

We recorded goodwill of $22,842 due to the synergies achieved by having control over the products and manufacturing at Omega.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the consolidated results of operations of Sagent as if the Omega acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2014. The pro forma information includes acquisition and integration expenses. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transaction been effected on the assumed date

Fair value | Unrealized losses |
|||||||
Corporate bonds and notes |
$ | 15,126 | $ | (11 | ) |
Unrealized losses from fixed-income securities are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. Because we do not currently intend to sell these investments, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell our investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2015.

Credit facilities acquired in connection with the Omega acquisition
In connection with the acquisition of Omega on October 1, 2014, we assumed a series of credit facilities and mortgages with the National Bank of Canada (“NBC”) and the Business Development Bank of Canada (“BDC”), as described below.
Omega had an authorized credit facility (the “Omega operating credit facility”) in the amount of C$8,200 ($7,309) with the NBC. The Omega operating credit facility can be utilized in the form of floating-rate advances for an amount not exceeding C$7,000 ($6,239 as of the acquisition date) and advances in the form of letters of guarantee
10
or letters of credit, within that limit for an amount not exceeding C$2,000 ($1,782 as of the acquisition date). The Omega operating credit facility could also be utilized in the form of advances to cover Omega’s currency risk for an amount not to exceed C$1,200 ($1,070 as of the acquisition date). On October 1, 2014, the Omega operating credit facility had floating-rate advances in the amount of C$1,530 ($1,364) bearing interest at the lender’s prime rate plus 0.50% (or an effective rate of 3.5%), which we assumed as part of the acquisition. As of December 31, 2014, C$3,272 ($2,824) was outstanding under the Omega operating credit facility.
In July 2014, Omega obtained a C$3,000 demand loan (the “Omega demand loan”), from the NBC bearing interest at the prime rate of the lender, plus a premium of 1.75% (effective rate 4.75%). The Omega demand loan was secured by all of the assets of Omega for C$3,000 plus an additional security interest of 20% of this amount, bearing interest at 4.75% per annum and matured in November 2014. We assumed the Omega demand loan ($2,674 as of the acquisition date) in connection with the acquisition and subsequently extended the maturity date to January 2015. The Omega operating credit facility and the Omega demand loan were secured by a first ranking security interest in the amount of C$8,250 ($7,354 as of the acquisition date) in Omega’s inventories, trade receivables and on the intellectual property of Omega, present and future. As of December 31, 2014, C$3,000 ($2,674) was outstanding under the Omega demand loan.
Omega also had C$267 ($238) outstanding on a decreasing revolving credit facility with the NBC (the “Omega decreasing revolving credit facility”) bearing interest at the prime rate of the lender, plus 1.0% (or an effective rate equal to 4.0%). The Omega decreasing revolving credit facility was secured by a first ranking security interest of C$1,000 ($891 as of the acquisition date) on the equipment, tooling and office furniture financed by the credit facility.
The Omega credit facilities were subject to certain restrictions, including the obligation to maintain certain financial ratios. As of October 1, 2014, Omega had not met certain of these financial ratios. As a result, the Omega decreasing revolving credit facility was classified as a current liability as of the acquisition date. In January 2015, we paid off all amounts outstanding under the Omega operating credit facility, the Omega demand loan and the Omega decreasing revolving credit facility with available cash on hand.
In addition to the above, Omega has five mortgage loans with the BDC (collectively the “Omega mortgages”) which we assumed in connection with the acquisition. The Omega mortgages, which require monthly installments and which are secured by specific Omega buildings and equipment, range in amount from C$70 to C$1,250 ($62 to $1,114 as of the acquisition date) and bear interest at the lender’s prime rate (5% as of the acquisition date) plus a premium ranging from 0% - 1.5%. The Omega mortgages mature at various times from August 2019 through November 2036.
JPMorgan Chase Revolving Credit Loan Facility
On October 31, 2014, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Chase Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (“Chase”). As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, no borrowings were outstanding under the Chase Agreement and we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Chase Agreement.
JP Morgan Chase China Fixed Assets Committed Loan Facility
On April 6, 2015, our subsidiary, Sagent (China) Pharmaceuticals, Co., Ltd. (“SCP”) entered into a fixed assets committed loan facility (“China Facility”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (“Chase China”). SCP may make drawings under the China Facility in an aggregate amount up to $18.0 million to finance capital expenditures relating to a production line expansion. Amounts drawn under the China Facility bear interest at the LIBOR rate (or Chase China’s cost of funds if the long term foreign debt quota of Chase China is not available) plus 3.25%. Amounts drawn under the China Facility will be subject to an amortization schedule. Principal payments for any amounts drawn will be repaid in accordance with that schedule, between 36-60 months.
In connection with the China Facility, on April 6, 2015 we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sagent Pharmaceuticals (“Sagent Wyoming”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Chase Agreement as well as a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in favor of Chase and certain of its affiliates. Under the Guaranty and Amendment, the Company and Sagent Wyoming provide Chase and its affiliates a guaranty of obligations incurred by SCP under the China Facility.

Note 16. Related party transactions:
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, we had a receivable of $2,308 and $2,156 from Sagent Agila LLC, which is expected to offset future profit-sharing payments. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, we had a payable of $10,730 and $8,079 to Sagent Agila LLC, principally for the acquisition of inventory and amounts due under profit-sharing arrangements.
Note 17. Income Taxes:
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was $319 and $1,214, respectively. As we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our Chinese deferred tax assets, we have not recorded a tax benefit for losses associated with SCP.
Note 18. Commitments and contingencies:
Litigation
From time to time, we are subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims may include assertions that our products infringe existing patents and claims that the use of our products has caused personal injuries. We intend to vigorously defend any such litigation that may arise under all defenses that would be available to us. Currently, we are party to the following claim.
Zoledronic Acid (Generic versions of Zometa ® and Reclast ®). On February 20, 2013, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Novartis”) sued the Company and several other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, alleging, among other things, that sales of the Company’s (i) zoledronic acid premix bag (4mg/100ml), made by ACS Dobfar Info S.A. (“Info”), also a defendant, a generic version of Novartis’ Zometa ® ready to use bottle, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 7,932,241 (the “241 Patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 8,324,189 (the “189 Patent”) and (ii) zoledronic acid premix bag (5mg/100ml), also made by Info, a generic version of Novartis’ Reclast ® ready to use bottle, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,052,987 and the 241 Patent, and (iii) zoledronic acid vial (4mg/5ml), made by Actavis LLC, also a defendant, a generic version of Novartis’ Zometa ® vial, would infringe the 189 Patent. (Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation v. Actavis, LLC, et. al., Case No. 13-cv-1028). On March 1, 2013, the District Court denied Novartis’ request for a temporary restraining order against the Company and the other defendants, including Actavis and Info. On March 6, 2013 the Company, began selling Actavis’ zoledronic acid vial, the generic version of Zometa. Also, as of August 27, 2013 and October 1, 2013, the Company began selling zoledronic acid premix bags in 4mg/100ml and 5mg/100ml presentations, respectively. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the case, and the Company has sold and will continue to sell these products. While an estimate of the potential loss resulting from an adverse final determination that one of the patents in suit is valid and infringed cannot currently be made as specific monetary damages have not been asserted, an adverse final determination could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
At this time, there are no other proceedings of which we are aware that are considered likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Note 19. Management transition changes:
In March 2015, we completed a management transition following the retirement of our founder and Chief Executive Officer and resignation of our President. Costs associated with the transition, primarily severance related charges, were all incurred in the Sagent US operating segment, and are reflected in the management transition costs caption in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015. $3,308 related to these charges was included in Accrued Liabilities as of March 31, 2015.
Note 20. Geographic and segment information
Management uses segment information to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. Historically we have operated in a single reportable segment, the United States. Effective October 1, 2014, in connection with the Omega acquisition, we began operating in two reportable segments comprised of operations organized geographically within the United States (Sagent US segment) and Canada (Omega segment), each of which develop, source, manufacture and market generic injectable products for sale within the their respective countries. Each segment derives a significant portion of its revenues from a single class of pharmaceutical wholesale customers within that country. Management utilizes segment operating income as its measure of segment profitability.
15
Segment and geographic data for the three months ended March 31, 2015 includes the impact of Omega. Shared costs for certain corporate functions, including but not limited to, corporate finance and legal, are included within the Sagent US segment profitability that management reviews.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report and with our audited financial statements and the notes found in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015. Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are in thousands.
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could have,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For example, all statements we make relating to our estimated and projected costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial results, our plans and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies, our product pipeline and anticipated product approvals or the expected outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation are forward-looking statements. In addition, this report contains forward-looking statements regarding the adequacy of our current cash balances to fund our ongoing operations; our utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards; our ability to realize the expected benefits from our acquisition of Omega; our ability to realize the expected benefits from our acquisition of and investment in our China subsidiary; and the additional investments required to be made in our China subsidiary to achieve its manufacturing potential.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and the cautionary statements set forth below, as well as elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and those contained in Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015, identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by our forward-looking statements. Such factors, include, but are not limited to:
• | we rely on our business partners for the manufacture of a significant portion of our products, and if our business partners fail to supply us with high-quality active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) or finished products in the quantities we require on a timely basis, sales of our products could be delayed or prevented, and our revenues and margins could decline, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; |
• | if we or any of our business partners are unable to comply with the quality and regulatory standards applicable to pharmaceutical drug manufacturers, or if approvals of pending applications are not granted or are delayed, we may be unable to meet the demand for our products, may lose potential revenues and our business, financial position and results of operations could be materially adversely effected; |
• | changes in the regulations, enforcement procedures or regulatory policies established by the FDA and other regulatory agencies could increase the costs or time of development of our products and could delay or prevent sales of our products and our revenues could decline and, as a result, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected; |
• | two of our products, heparin and levofloxacin in premix bags, represent a significant portion of our net revenues. Each of these products is manufactured by and supplied to us by a single vendor, and, if the volume or pricing of either of these products declines, or we are unable to satisfy market demand for either of these products, such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations; |
• | we participate in highly competitive markets, dominated by a few large competitors, and if we are unable to compete successfully, our revenues could decline and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected; |
17
• | if we are unable to continue to develop and commercialize new products in a timely and cost-effective manner, we may not achieve our expected revenue growth and profitability, or our business, results of operations and financial position could be adversely affected; |
• | if we are unable to maintain our group purchasing organizations (“GPO”) and distributor relationships, our revenues could decline and our results of operations could be adversely affected; |
• | we rely on a limited number of pharmaceutical wholesalers to distribute our products; |
• | we depend to a significant degree upon our key personnel, the loss of whom could adversely affect our operations; |
• | if we fail to attract and retain the talent required for our business, our business could be materially harmed; |
• | our inability to manage our planned growth or successfully integrate newly acquired businesses could harm our business; |
• | we may be exposed to product liability claims that could cause us to incur significant costs or cease selling some of our products; |
• | our products may infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties, and in such cases we may incur substantial liabilities and may be unable to commercialize products in a profitable manner or at all; |
• | healthcare reform legislation or other policy changes may adversely affect our business; |
• | our business could suffer if reimbursement by government-sponsored or private sector insurance programs for our current or future products is reduced or modified; |
• | we may need to raise additional capital in the event we change our business plan or encounter unexpected developments, which may cause dilution to our existing stockholders or restrict or limit our operations; |
• | we are subject to risks associated with managing our international network of business relationships, which include business partners and other suppliers of components, API and finished products located throughout the world; |
• | we may never realize the expected benefits from our manufacturing facility in China and it will require substantial capital resources to reach its manufacturing potential and achieve overall profitability; |
• | we may never realize the expected benefits from our acquisition of Omega and it will require substantial capital resources to maintain its manufacturing capabilities and overall profitability; |
• | we rely on a single vendor to manage our order to cash cycle and our distribution activities in the U.S. and the loss or disruption of service from this vendor could adversely affect our operations and financial condition; |
• | we are likely to incur substantial costs associated with both implementation and maintenance of our new enterprise resource planning software and other related applications, and unforeseen problems may arise with the implementation. If the new systems do not perform as originally planned, our business, financial position and results of operations could be adversely affected; |
• | currency fluctuations may have an adverse effect on our business; and |
• | we may seek to engage in strategic transactions, including the acquisition of products or businesses, that could have a variety of negative consequences, and we may not realize the intended benefits of such transactions. |
18
We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our work in preparing, reviewing and evaluating our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, it is impossible for us to anticipate or accurately calculate the impact of all factors that could affect our actual results. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this report in the context of these risks and uncertainties.
We cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation and do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Introduction
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing, sourcing and marketing injectable pharmaceutical products, which we sell primarily throughout North America through our two operating segments. Initially founded in 2006 as Sagent Holding Co., a Cayman Islands company, we reincorporated as Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in connection with our initial public offering, on April 26, 2011.
With a primary focus on generic injectable pharmaceuticals, which provide customers a lower-cost alternative to branded products when applicable patents have expired or been declared invalid, or when the products are determined not to infringe the patents of others, we offer our customers a broad range of products across anti-infective, oncolytic and critical care indications in a variety of presentations, including single- and multi-dose vials and ready-to-use pre-filled syringes and premix bags. We generally seek to develop injectable products where the form or packaging of the product can be enhanced to improve delivery, product safety or end-user convenience. Our management team includes industry veterans who have served critical functions at other injectable pharmaceutical companies or key customer groups and have long-standing relationships with customers, regulatory agencies, and suppliers. We have rapidly established a growing and diverse product portfolio and product pipeline as a result of our innovative business model. Our model combines an extensive network of international development, sourcing and manufacturing collaborations with our proven and experienced regulatory, quality assurance, business development, project management, and sales and marketing teams.
On June 4, 2013, we acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in Kanghong Sagent (Chengdu) Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (“KSCP”) from our former joint venture partner (the “SCP Acquisition”). In August 2013, we formally changed the name of this entity to Sagent (China) Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“SCP”). The SCP facility, which received its Establishment Inspection Report from the FDA in April 2013, and first product approval in June 2013, provides us with the ability to develop and manufacture a portion of our product portfolio.
On October 1, 2014, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sagent Acquisition Corp., a Canadian company, acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of 7685947 Canada Inc., and its subsidiary, Omega Laboratories Limited (collectively, “Omega”), a privately held Canadian pharmaceutical and specialty healthcare products company. Omega represents our first international market expansion, and the facility currently provides us with the ability to manufacture products for the Canadian and other international markets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
Adjusted Gross Profit
We use the non-GAAP financial measure “Adjusted Gross Profit” and corresponding ratios. We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit plus our share of the gross profit earned through our Sagent Agila joint venture which is included in the Equity in net income of joint ventures line on the consolidated statements of operations and the impact of product-related non-cash charges arising from business combinations. We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit is relevant and useful supplemental information for our investors. Our management believes that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting Sagent than could be obtained absent these disclosures. Management uses Adjusted Gross Profit and corresponding ratios to make operating and strategic decisions and evaluate our performance. We have disclosed this non-GAAP financial measure so that our investors have the same financial data that management uses with the intention of assisting you in making comparisons to our historical operating results and analyzing our underlying performance. Our management believes that Adjusted Gross Profit provides a useful supplemental tool to consistently evaluate the profitability of our products that have profit sharing arrangements. The limitation of this measure is that it includes an item that does not have an impact on gross profit reported in accordance with GAAP. The best way that this limitation can be addressed is by using Adjusted Gross Profit in combination with our GAAP reported gross profit. Because Adjusted Gross Profit calculations may vary among other companies, the Adjusted Gross Profit figures presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our use of Adjusted Gross Profit is not meant to and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, any GAAP financial measure. You should carefully evaluate the following tables reconciling Adjusted Gross Profit to our GAAP reported gross profit for the periods presented (dollars in thousands).

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We use the non-GAAP financial measures “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA” and corresponding growth ratios. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) less interest expense, net of interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income less interest expense, net of interest income, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, management transition related costs, acquisition-related costs, the impact of unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, and the impact of product-related non-cash charges arising from business combinations. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant and useful supplemental information for our investors. Our management believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting Sagent than could be obtained absent these disclosures.

performance of the company on an ongoing basis. The limitation of these measures is that they exclude items that have an impact on net income (loss).

Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among other companies, the EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA figures presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Net revenue: Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $82.6 million, an increase of $11.8 million, or 17%, as compared to $70.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The launch of 14 new codes or presentations of six products since March 31, 2014 contributed $1.8 million of the net revenue increase in the first quarter of 2015. Net revenue for products launched prior to March 31, 2014 increased $2.2 million, or 3%, to $73.0 million in the first quarter of 2015. Net revenue from our Omega segment, which we acquired in October 2014, contributed $7.4 million of the net revenue increase in the first quarter of 2015.
Cost of sales: Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $60.7 million, inclusive of $6.5 million of cost of sales incurred in our Omega segment, an increase of $10.2 million, or 20%, as compared to $50.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Gross profit as a percentage of net revenues was 26.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 28.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of net revenue was 28.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 29.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net revenue is primarily due to the $1.6 million increase in cost of sales related to the fair value step up of inventory and amortization of intangibles acquired from Omega and the impact of increased profit sharing with suppliers on products previously supplied to us by Actavis.
Product development: Product development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $5.3 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 32%, as compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in product development expense was primarily due to $0.7 million of product development costs incurred in our Omega segment during the three months ended March 31, 2015, and increased patent-related legal expenses.
22
As of March 31, 2015, our new product pipeline included 42 products represented by 64 ANDAs which we had filed, or licensed rights to, that were under review by the FDA and three products represented by nine ANDAs that have been recently approved and were pending commercial launch. We also had an additional 23 products represented by 36 ANDAs under initial development at March 31, 2015.
Selling, general and administrative: Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015, totaled $13.1 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 31%, as compared to $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to increased public company costs and $1.0 million of costs incurred in our Omega segment during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net revenue was 16% and 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Acquisition-related costs: Acquisition-related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $1.3 million, primarily for legal and financial advisory costs associated with the evaluation of potential transactions. No acquisition-related costs were incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
Management transition costs: Management transition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $3.3 million. The costs are primarily severance related charges following the retirement of our founder and Chief Executive Officer and resignation of our President in March 2015. No management transition costs were incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Equity in net income of joint ventures: Equity in net income of joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $0.9 million, an increase of $0.6 million as compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, related to an increase in sales of Sagent Agila products during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Interest income and other income (expense), net: Interest income and other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $1.1 million of expense, as compared to $0.1 million of expense in the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in expense relates to $1.0 million of unrealized foreign exchange losses on intercompany financing, primarily related to the devaluation of the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar.
Interest expense: Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 totaled $0.3 million, an increase of $0.1 million, or 55%, as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Provision for income taxes: Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 74%, as compared to $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. As we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our Chinese deferred tax assets, we have not recorded a tax benefit for losses associated with SCP.
Net income (loss) and diluted net earnings (loss) per common share: The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $1.9 million, as compared to net income of $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share decreased by $0.22. The decrease in diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is due to the following factors:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our future capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including the continued commercial success of our existing products, launching the products that have been recently approved and are pending commercial launch or are pending approval as of March 31, 2015, successfully identifying and sourcing other new product opportunities, manufacturing products at our wholly-owned Chinese manufacturing facility, capital expansion at our SCP and Omega facilities and further business development activity.
23
Based on our existing business plan, we expect that cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, together with operating cash flows and borrowings available under our Chase revolving loan facility and our Chase China committed fixed assets facility, will be sufficient to fund our planned operations, the continued development of our product pipeline, the final payment required in respect of our joint venture partner’s interest in SCP, investments in working capital, joint venture distributions and capital expansion at our SCP and Omega facilities, for at least the next 12 months. However, we may require additional funds in the event that we change our business plan, pursue additional strategic transactions, including the acquisition of businesses or products, or encounter unexpected developments, including unforeseen competitive conditions within our product markets, changes in the general economic climate, changes in the regulatory environment, the loss of or negative developments affecting key relationships with suppliers, group purchasing organizations or end-user customers or other unexpected developments that may have a material effect on the cash flows or results of operations of our business.
To the extent our capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we will need to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings or debt financings, which may not be available to us on terms we consider acceptable or at all. Our ability to raise additional funding, if necessary, is subject to a variety of factors that we cannot predict with certainty, including our future results of operations, our relative levels of debt and equity, the volatility and overall condition of the capital markets and the market prices of our securities. Debt financing, if available, may only be available to us on less favorable terms than our existing Chase revolving loan facility, including higher interest rates or greater exposure to interest rate risk. In addition, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders.
If additional funding is not available, we may be required to terminate, significantly modify or delay the development or commercialization of new products and may not be able to achieve the manufacturing potential of our SCP facility or expansion of our Omega facility. We may elect to raise additional funds even before we need them if we believe that the conditions for raising capital are favorable.
Cash Flows
Overview
On March 31, 2015, cash, cash equivalents and short term investments totaled $49.4 million. Working capital totaled $112.4 million and our current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was approximately 2.2 to 1.0.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Operating activities: Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily due to the increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the three months ended March 31, 2015, partially offset by the $7.0 million decrease in our net income.
Investing activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily related to capital expenditures and the net change in our short term investments. Net cash used in investing activities of $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily related to the purchase of product rights and the net change in our short-term investments.
Financing activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily related to the repayment of the then outstanding balance of our NBC loans. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $10.2 million, primarily related to repayment in full of the then outstanding balance of our ABC Loans.
Credit facilities
In February 2012, we repaid all of our outstanding borrowings and replaced our previous facilities with an asset based revolving loan facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”). In September 2013, we entered into a Second Loan Modification agreement with SVB, and subsequently, on October 31, 2014, we terminated our asset based revolving loan facility with SVB and replaced it with a new asset based revolving loan credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”). In April 2015, SCP entered a fixed asset committed loan facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank (China) Company Limited, Shanghai Branch (“Chase China”).
24
In June 2013, SCP had two loan facilities with the Agricultural Bank of China (“ABC”) that existed prior to the SCP Acquisition. We repaid in full the amounts outstanding under these facilities in January 2014. In October 2014, Omega had a series of loan facilities that existed prior to the Omega Acquisition. Refer below for a description of our facilities with Chase, Chase China, Omega’s facilities, and the SVB and ABC facilities which were terminated in 2014.
Asset based revolving credit loan facility
On October 31, 2014, we entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., (the “Chase Agreement”). The Chase Agreement provides for an $80.0 million asset based revolving credit loan facility, with availability subject to a borrowing base consisting of eligible cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable and inventory and the satisfaction of conditions precedent specified in the Chase Agreement. The Chase Agreement provides for an accordion feature, whereby we may increase the revolving commitment up to an additional $25.0 million subject to certain customary terms and conditions including pro forma compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Chase Agreement) of 1.00 to 1.00. The Chase Agreement matures on October 31, 2019, at which time all amounts outstanding will be due and payable. Borrowings under the Chase Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including funding working capital. Amounts drawn bear an interest rate equal to, at our option, either a Eurodollar rate plus 2.00% per annum or an alternative base rate plus 1.00% per annum. We also incur a commitment fee on undrawn amounts equal to 0.25% per annum.
The Chase Agreement is guaranteed by us at the time of closing and is secured by a lien on substantially all of our and our principal domestic subsidiary’s assets and any future domestic subsidiary guarantors’ assets. The same assets may also be used to secure, and we may guaranty, a loan by an affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to our Chinese subsidiary for the construction of a new manufacturing line. The Chase Agreement includes customary covenants and also imposes a financial covenant requiring compliance with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00 during certain covenant testing times triggered if availability under the Chase Agreement is below the greater of 10% of the revolving commitment and $8.0 million.
Loans under the Chase Agreement are secured by a lien on substantially all of our and our principal domestic operating subsidiary’s assets.
As of March 31, 2015, there were no borrowings outstanding under our Chase revolving loan facility, and we were in compliance with all covenants under this loan agreement. Total availability under our Chase revolving loan facility was $80.0 million at March 31, 2015, which is subject to adjustment on a monthly basis under our borrowing base calculation.
Fixed asset committed loan facility
On April 6, 2015, SCP entered into a fixed assets committed loan facility (“China Facility”) with Chase China. SCP may make drawings under the China Facility in an aggregate amount up to $18.0 million to finance capital expenditures relating to a product line expansion. Amounts drawn under the China Facility bear interest at the LIBOR rate (or Chase China’s cost of funds if the long term foreign debt quota of Chase China is not available) plus 3.25%. Amounts drawn under the China Facility will be subject to an amortization schedule. Principal payments for any amounts drawn will be repaid in accordance with that schedule, between 36-60 months.
In connection with the China Facility, on April 6, 2015 we and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sagent Pharmaceuticals (“Sagent Wyoming”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Chase Agreement as well as a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) in favor of Chase and certain of its affiliates. Under the Guaranty and Amendment, the Company and Sagent Wyoming provide Chase and its affiliates a guaranty of obligations incurred by SCP under the China Facility.
SVB asset based revolving loan facility
On February 13, 2012, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with SVB (the “SVB Agreement”). The SVB Agreement provides for a $40.0 million asset based revolving loan facility, with availability determined by a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and subject to certain conditions precedent specified in the SVB Agreement. The SVB Agreement matures on February 13, 2016, at which time all outstanding amounts will become due and payable. Borrowings under the SVB Agreement may be used for general
25
corporate purposes, including funding working capital. Amounts drawn bear an interest rate equal to, at our option, either a Eurodollar rate plus 2.50% per annum or an alternative base rate plus 1.50% per annum. We also pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts equal to 0.30% per annum. During the continuance of an event of default, at SVB’s option, all obligations will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.00% per annum above the otherwise applicable rate.
Loans under the SVB Agreement are secured by substantially all of our and our principal domestic operating subsidiary’s assets, other than our equity interests in our joint ventures and certain other limited exceptions.
The SVB Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create or permit to exist liens, make certain investments, dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock, sell assets or otherwise dispose of our property, change our lines of business, or enter into a merger or acquisition, in each case, subject to thresholds and exceptions as set forth in the SVB Agreement. The financial covenants in the original SVB Agreement are limited to maintenance of a minimum adjusted quick ratio and a minimum free cash flow. The SVB Agreement also contains customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest and other fees after stated grace periods, violations of covenants, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, certain bankruptcy and liquidation events, certain material judgments and attachment events, cross-default to other debt in excess of a specified amount and material agreements, failure to maintain certain material governmental approvals, and actual or asserted invalidity of subordination terms, guarantees and collateral, in each case, subject to grace periods, thresholds and exceptions as set forth in the SVB Agreement.
In September 2013, we entered into the Second Loan Modification Agreement (the “Second Modification Agreement”) to the SVB Agreement. The Second Modification Agreement makes certain amendments to the SVB Agreement, including: modifying the calculation methodology of the borrowing base that is used to determine our borrowing availability; eliminating the covenant to maintain a specified level of free cash flow in quarters where we maintain eligible cash balances of $30.0 million or greater and modifying the covenant for the adjusted quick ratio to be tested at the end of each month; and providing us additional flexibility to make certain investments. The Second Modification Agreement did not amend the term of the SVB Agreement, the maximum availability under the SVB Agreement, or the interest rate applicable to amounts drawn under the SVB Agreement.
Concurrent with entering the Chase Agreement, we terminated our existing revolving credit facility with SVB and repaid certain associated fees. Included with the fees was $1.1 million of deferred costs triggered by the early termination of the agreement. This amount is included within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the fourth quarter of 2014. Concurrent with the repayment and termination of the agreement, all liens and security interests against our property that secured the obligations under our existing revolving credit facility were released and discharged.
Chinese loan facilities
SCP had outstanding debt obligations with ABC at the time of the SCP Acquisition. SCP originally entered into two loan contracts with ABC for RMB 83.0 million ($13.6 million) and RMB 37.0 million ($6.1 million) in August 2010 and June 2011, respectively (the “ABC Loans”). In November 2013, we repaid RMB 55.0 million ($9.0 million) of the then outstanding balance. At December 31, 2013, RMB 63.0 million ($10.3 million) of the original loan remains outstanding, and is subject to a repayment schedule, with all amounts due and payable by August 2015. The ABC Loans were used for the construction of the SCP facility and funding of the ongoing operations of SCP up to the date of the SCP Acquisition. Amounts outstanding under the ABC Loans bear an interest rate equal to the benchmark lending interest rate published by the People’s Bank of China. During the term of the loan, the rate is subject to adjustment every three months. The ABC Loans are secured by the property, plant and equipment of SCP. The ABC Loans contain various covenants, including covenants that restrict SCP’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, provide guarantees, pledge or incur liens on assets, enter into merger, consolidation or acquisition transactions, or transfer assets. In addition, the ABC Loans contain financial covenants that require SCP to achieve specified minimum revenue levels and to maintain a specified liability to assets ratio. As of December 31, 2013, the interest rate for the ABC Loans was 6.00%.
On January 2, 2014, we repaid in full all outstanding amounts (RMB 63.0 million, $10.3 million) under the ABC Loans, and the loan contracts were terminated.
26
Omega credit facilities
In connection with the acquisition of Omega on October 1, 2014, we assumed a series of credit facilities and mortgages with the National Bank of Canada (“NBC”) and the Business Development Bank of Canada (“BDC”), as described below.
Omega has an authorized credit facility (the “Omega operating credit facility”) in the amount of C$8.2 million ($7.3 million) with the NBC. The Omega operating credit facility can be utilized in the form of floating-rate advances for an amount not exceeding C$7.0 million ($6.2 million as of the acquisition date) and advances in the form of letters of guarantee or letters of credit, within that limit for an amount not exceeding C$2.0 million ($1.8 million as of the acquisition date). The Omega operating credit facility can also be utilized in the form of advances to cover Omega’s currency risk for an amount not to exceed C$1.2 million ($1.1 million as of the acquisition date). On October 1, 2014, the Omega operating credit facility had floating-rate advances in the amount of C$1.5 million ($1.4 million) bearing interest at the lender’s prime rate plus 0.50%, (or an effective rate of 3.5%) which we assumed as part of the acquisition. As of December 31, 2014, C$3.3 million ($2.8 million) was outstanding under the Omega operating credit facility.
In July 2014, Omega obtained a C$3.0 million demand loan (the “Omega demand loan”), from the NBC bearing interest at the prime rate of the lender, plus a premium of 1.75% (effective rate 4.75%). The Omega demand loan is secured by all of the assets of Omega for C$3.0 million plus an additional security interest of 20% of this amount, bearing interest at 4.75% per annum and matured in November 2014. We assumed the Omega demand loan ($2.7 million as of the acquisition date) in connection with the acquisition and subsequently extended the maturity date to January 2015. The Omega operating credit facility and the Omega demand loan are secured by a first ranking security interest in the amount of C$8.3 million ($7.4 million as of the acquisition date) in Omega’s inventories, trade receivables and on the intellectual property of Omega, present and future. As of December 31, 2014, C$3.0 million ($2.7 million) was outstanding under the Omega demand loan.
Omega also had C$0.3 million ($0.2 million) outstanding on a decreasing revolving credit facility with the NBC (the “Omega decreasing revolving credit facility”) bearing interest at the prime rate of the lender, plus 1.0% (or an effective rate equal to 4.0%). The Omega decreasing revolving credit facility is secured by a first ranking security interest of C$1.0 million ($0.9 million as of the acquisition date) on the equipment, tooling and office furniture financed by the credit facility.
The Omega credit facilities are subject to certain restrictions, including the obligation to maintain certain financial ratios. As of October 1, 2014, Omega had not met certain of these financial ratios. As a result, the Omega decreasing revolving credit facility was classified as a current liability as of the acquisition date. In January 2015, we paid off all amounts outstanding under the Omega operating credit facility, the Omega demand loan and the Omega decreasing revolving credit facility with available cash on hand. As a result, all amounts outstanding under these instruments are classified as current liabilities at December 31, 2014.
In addition to the above, Omega had five mortgage loans with the BDC (collectively the “Omega mortgages”) which we assumed in connection with the acquisition. The Omega mortgages, which require monthly installments and which are secured by specific Omega buildings and equipment, range in amount from C$0.1 million to C$1.3 million ($0.1 million to $1.1 million as of the acquisition date) and bear interest at the lender’s prime rate (5% as of the acquisition date) plus a premium ranging from 0% - 1.5%. The Omega mortgages mature at various times from August 2019 through November 2036.
Aggregate Contractual Obligations
As of March 31, 2015, there were no material changes to the contractual obligations information provided in Item 7 entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2015, we were not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, nor have we created any special-purpose or off-balance sheet entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating our business. With the exception of operating leases, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or relationships with
27
entities that are not consolidated into or disclosed on our financial statements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:
• | Revenue recognition; |
• | Inventories; |
• | Income taxes; |
• | Stock-based compensation; |
• | Valuation and impairment of marketable securities; |
• | Product development; |
• | Intangible assets; |
• | Consolidations; and |
• | Goodwill. |
For a discussion of critical accounting policies affecting us, see the discussion under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” and under Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015.
There have been no other material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates since December 31, 2014.
New Accounting Guidance
In May 2014, the FASB issued amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. We are required to adopt this new guidance on January 1, 2017, using one of two prescribed retroactive methods. Early adoption is not permitted. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one year deferral to the new revenue guidance. If approved, we would be required to adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2018. We are evaluating the impact of the amended revenue recognition guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued amended guidance on the model used to evaluate whether certain legal entities should be consolidated. This guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Contingencies
See Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies, and Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings for a discussion of contingencies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Our market risks relate primarily to changes in interest rates and currency fluctuations between the Chinese Renminbi and the US dollar, and between the Canadian dollar and US dollar, as the assets, liabilities and transactions of our international operations are generally recorded in the local currency of each of our legal entities.
The revolving loan facility under our Chase Agreement and substantially all of Omega’s debt facilities bear floating interest rates that are tied to LIBOR or an alternate rate, and therefore, our statements of operations and our cash flows are exposed to changes in interest rates. Based on the amounts outstanding at March 31, 2015, a one percentage point increase in LIBOR would increase our ongoing interest expense by less than $0.1 million per year, and a 10% strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar, would increase our ongoing interest expense by less than $0.1 million per year. We historically have not engaged in hedging activities related to our interest rate or foreign exchange risks.
At March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $49.4 million and $19.9 million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents are held primarily in cash and money market funds, and our short-term investments are held primarily in corporate debt securities and commercial paper. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates.
We generally record sales and pay our expenses in the local currency of the legal entity that incurs the expense. Substantially all of our business partners that supply us with API, product development services and finished product manufacturing are located in a number of foreign jurisdictions, and we believe those business partners generally incur their respective operating expenses in local currencies. As a result, both we and our business partners may be exposed to currency rate fluctuations and experience an effective increase in operating expenses in the event local currencies appreciate against the U.S. dollar. In this event, the cost of manufacturing product from our SCP facility may increase or such business partners may elect to stop providing us with these services or attempt to pass these increased costs back to us through increased prices for product development services, API sourcing or finished products that they supply to us. Historically we have not used derivatives to protect against adverse movements in currency rates.
We do not have any foreign currency or any other material derivative financial instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our President and our Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our President and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (a) were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (b) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
29
Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Management, together with our President and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 and noted the following significant change:
• | During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we transitioned our financial reporting for Sagent US to a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. Implementation of the ERP system is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting and will require testing for effectiveness. In connection with implementation of the ERP system, we are updating our internal control over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business processes and accounting procedures. |
Although our internal control over financial reporting has been materially affected by the implementation of the ERP system, we do not believe that the implementation of the ERP system will have an adverse effect on our internal control over financial reporting. We determined that there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
30
From time to time, we are subject to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims may include assertions that our products infringe existing patents and claims that the use of our products has caused personal injuries. We intend to vigorously defend any such litigation that may arise under all defenses that would be available to us.
Zoledronic Acid (Generic versions of Zometa® and Reclast®). On February 20, 2013, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Novartis”) sued the Company and several other defendants in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation v. Actavis, LLC, et. al., Case No. 13-cv-1028), alleging, among other things, that sales of the Company’s (i) zoledronic acid premix bag (4mg/100ml), made by ACS Dobfar Info S.A. (“Info”), also a defendant, a generic version of Novartis’ Zometa® ready to use bottle, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 7,932,241 (the “241 Patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 8,324,189 (the “189 Patent”) and (ii) zoledronic acid premix bag (5mg/100ml), also made by Info, a generic version of Novartis’ Reclast® ready to use bottle, would infringe U.S. Patent No. 8,052,987 and the 241 Patent, and (iii) zoledronic acid vial (4mg/5ml), made by Actavis LLC, also a defendant, a generic version of Novartis’ Zometa® vial, would infringe the 189 Patent. On March 1, 2013, the District Court denied Novartis’ request for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction against the Company and the other defendants, including Actavis and Info.
On March 6, 2013, the Company, began selling Actavis’ zoledronic acid vial, the generic version of Zometa® and as of August 27, 2013 and October 1, 2013, the Company began selling zoledronic acid premix bags in 4mg/100ml and5mg/100ml presentations, respectively. The Company believes it has substantial meritorious defenses to the case, and the Company has sold and will continue to sell these products. While an estimate of the potential loss resulting from an adverse final determination that one of the patents in suit is valid and infringed cannot currently be made as specific monetary damages have not been asserted, an adverse final determination could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
At this time, there are no other proceedings of which we are aware that are considered likely to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.
There were no material changes during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015.
