Company to Host Conference Call at 8:30am ET Today
Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, March 14, 2017 — Neos Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEOS), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and commercializing innovative extended-release (XR) products using its proprietary modified-release drug delivery and orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) technology platforms, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016 and provided a business update.
“The strong prescription growth of Adzenys XR-ODT speaks to the growing demand for this first ever extended release ODT treatment option for patients with ADHD, and the success of our launch. Some encouraging trends include approximately 75% of all new prescriptions are coming from patient switches from another ADHD medication and we are seeing utilization across the spectrum of ADHD patients, from pediatric to adolescents and adults,” said Vipin K. Garg, Ph.D., President and CEO of Neos Therapeutics. “We are pleased to have recently completed a successful public offering and believe that these additional funds will be instrumental as we prepare for the potential launch of two additional patient-friendly ADHD products in the second half of this year. If approved, Cotempla XR-ODT, our methylphenidate XR-ODT and NT-0201, our amphetamine oral suspension will be launched utilizing our existing sales force and commercial infrastructure and will complement Adzenys XR-ODT. We have a PDUFA goal date of June 19, 2017 for Cotempla XR-ODT and a PDUFA goal date of September 15, 2017 for NT-0201.”

· In February 2017, the Company announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $5.00 per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters for this offering elected to exercise in full their option to purchase an additional 750,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. Net proceeds from this offering were approximately $26.8 million.
· In February 2017, the Company closed on a capital lease line of up to $5 million to finance its capital expenditures for the 2017 fiscal year.
· In December 2016, Neos resubmitted a New Drug Application (NDA) for Cotempla XR-ODT, the Company’s methylphenidate extended-release ODT product, following the completion of a bioequivalence bridging study. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date is June 19, 2017. If approved, the Company anticipates a launch in the fall of 2017.
· In November 2016, the Company submitted a NDA for NT-0201, the Company’s amphetamine XR liquid suspension. The PDUFA date for this product candidate is September 15, 2017. If approved, the Company anticipates a launch in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Select Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2016
· Total product revenues were $3.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2015. This includes product revenue associated with dispensed patient prescriptions of Adzenys XR-ODT of $2.2 million and $1.3 million of product revenue for generic Tussionex.
· Cost of goods sold for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $4.0 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period of 2015. The increase was due to the product and production costs associated with the Company’s products.
· Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $3.6 million, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2015.
· Selling and marketing expenses were $9.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2015. The increased expense was due to commercial sales organization and other selling costs associated with the commercialization of Adzenys XR-ODT.
· General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $3.0 million, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2015. The increase was principally due to costs associated with operating as a public company.
· The Company reported a net loss of $18.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $9.1 million for the same period in 2015.
Select Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2016
· Total product revenues were $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $5.4 million or 141.4% from $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The increase was primarily due to product and production costs associated with increased unit sales of the Company’s products as well as product and regulatory fees associated with Adzenys XR-ODT.
· Research and development expenses were $12.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of approximately $0.5 million or 4.4%, from the $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase was primarily due to increased costs of clinical studies for the Company’s product candidates, partially offset by a net decrease in FDA filing fees.
· Selling and marketing expenses were $49.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of approximately $43.6 million or 769.0%, from the $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

· General and administrative expenses were $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $5.5 million or 78.4%, from the $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

· The Company reported a net loss of $83.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to $30.8 million for the same period in 2015.
