“We acquired Zipsor (diclofenac potassium) liquid filled capsules for the treatment of mild to moderate pain in late June and began promoting the product in July. Zipsor was acquired with cash on hand, and we ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet with $89 million of cash and marketable securities and no debt.”

 

Depomed Second Quarter Financial Highlights

 

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2012 was $14.1 million, consisting of $3.2 million of Gralise product sales, $9.6 million of royalties and $1.3 million of license and other collaborative revenue.

 

This compares to revenues of $21.2 million in the second quarter of 2011. Second quarter 2011 revenues included $16.2 million of Glumetza sales.  Revenues for second quarter 2012 do not reflect any Glumetza sales as a result of the restructuring of the Santarus agreement in August 2011.  Prior to the restructuring of the agreement, Depomed recognized revenues and cost of goods from Glumetza sales and paid Santarus a promotion fee that was included in operating expenses.

 

Operating expenses were $28.7 million for the second quarter of 2012.  This compares with $25.1 million for second quarter 2011. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2012 include sales and marketing expenses associated with Gralise, which was launched in October 2011.  Operating expenses for second quarter 2012 did not reflect any promotion fee expense, compared with $11.1 million in promotion fee expense for second quarter 2011.

 

Net loss for second quarter 2012 was ($15.8) million, or ($0.28) per share, compared to net loss of ($5.7) million, or ($0.11) per share for second quarter 2011.

 

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $89 million as of June 30, 2012 compared to $139.8 million as of December 31, 2011.  In June 2012, Depomed acquired all rights to Zipsor and purchased Zipsor inventory in return for $26.4 million of cash and potential milestone payments based on sales of Zipsor and assumption of certain liabilities.
