Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations Results of Operations - --------------------- Three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 Revenues - -------- Total revenue for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1999 increased $17.8 million and $6.1 million respectively as compared with the first six months and quarter ended June 30, 1998. This increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues from product sales. Sales - ----- For the six months ended June 30, 1999, product sales increased $17.6 million from $76.4 million to $94.0 million due primarily to growth of U.S. sales. U.S. product sales increased $17.4 million from $59.0 million to $76.4 million. AGRYLIN, PENTASA and PROAMATINE provided $15.4, $10.1 and $2.2 million, respectively, of the increase and were offset by a decrease in NOROXIN and COLACE sales of $5.1 and $1.1 million, respectively. Sales of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary, Monmouth Pharmaceuticals and the Company's Canadian subsidiary remained consistent with prior year. Product sales in the second quarter increased $6.1 million from $43.8 million in 1998 to $49.9 million in 1999 principally due to an increase in sales of AGRYLIN. Second quarter product sales in the U.S. increased $6.2 million from $35.2 million in 1998 to $41.4 million in 1999. Sales in the U.K. increased $0.3 million to $5.2 million in second quarter 1999 from $4.9 million in 1998. Canada's second quarter sales decreased to $3.4 million in 1999 from $3.7 million in 1998. Cost of Sales - ------------- For the six months ended June 30, 1999, cost of sales amounted to 29.7% of product sales, a 7.3 percentage point decrease as compared to the prior year's comparable period. This decrease in cost of sales and corresponding increase in gross profit percentage is primarily the result of a change in product mix. Sales of low- margin NOROXIN decreased while sales of higher margin products, particularly AGRYLIN, but also including PROAMATINE and PENTASA increased significantly. Research and Development - ------------------------ Research and Development expenses increased $1.1 million to $7.3 million and $1.0 million to $4.5 million during the six and three month periods, respectively, ended June -3- 30, 1999 as compared to the comparable prior year periods. The largest component of this change is a $0.7 million spending increase in outside services for the propiram development project. Marketing Expenses - ------------------ For the six months ended June 30, 1999, marketing expenses increased $4.7 million from $17.4 million to $22.1 million. The largest components of the increase are compensation and benefit increases of $1.3 million, partially attributable to timing of bonus accruals, an increase in sample expense of $0.9 million, particularly due to a full years' share of PENTASA samples in 1999, and television and journal advertising increases of $0.7 million. For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, marketing expenses increased $3.0 million to $12.5 million. Administrative Expenses - ----------------------- For the six months ended June 30, 1999, administrative expense decreased $3.0 million from $18.1 million to $15.1 million. The largest components of the decrease are a $3.3 million decrease in stock appreciation rights (SAR) expense offset by a $0.5 million increase in amortization expense. There was no SAR expense in 1999 due to the exercise of all SARs in second quarter 1998. Amortization expense in 1999 includes six months expense related to PENTASA compared to three months in 1998. Administrative expenses decreased $3.3 million from the second quarter 1998 to $7.6 million in the second quarter 1999 due to the same factors causing the year to date decrease. Interest Income and Expense - --------------------------- Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1999, decreased $0.4 million as a result of a decrease in invested marketable securities due to utilization of funds for the purchase of the distribution facility and improvements made to the Canadian manufacturing facility as well as debt payments on purchased products. Interest expense for the same period increased $4.4 million as a result of the debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of PENTASA. For the three months ended June 30, 1999 interest income decreased $0.1 million and interest expense increased $2.1 million, both due to the same factors causing the changes in the year to date results. -4- Income Taxes - ------------ For the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, income tax expense was calculated using the expected effective statutory rates except for certain taxes related to foreign operations.The Company has recorded net deferred tax assets of approximately $5.5 million. Realization is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income to utilize such items. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets for which a valuation allowance has not been provided, will be realized. The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable, however, could be reduced at any time if estimated of future taxable income are reduced. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- For the year to date June 30, 1999, operating cash inflows amounted to $12.8 million as a result of the Company's net income of $12.5 million enhanced by non-cash charges, primarily depreciation and amortization and offset by changes in accounts receivable and payable and inventory. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $46.8 million. Investing activities used $32.6 million, comprised of $4.6 million in marketable securities redemptions, fixed and intangible asset purchases of $1.4 and $40.5 million, respectively, and collections of notes receivable of $4.6 million. The expenditure for intangible assets included $35.0 million paid in cash for the purchase of the worldwide rights to AGRYLIN. This allows the Company to retain all rights to the product with no royalty liability for the future. Financing activities used $4.0 million, comprised of $7.7 million of payments on notes payable offset by proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock of $3.7 million resulting primarily from the exercise of stock options. The Company's funding requirements depend on a number of factors, including the Company's product development programs, product acquisitions, the level of resources required for the expansion of marketing capabilities as the product base expands, increased investment in accounts receivable and inventory which may arise from increased sales levels, competitive and technological developments, the timing and cost of obtaining required regulatory approvals for new products, relationships with parties to collaborative agreements, the success of acquisition activities and the continuing revenues generated from sales of PROAMATINE, AGRYLIN and PENTASA. Existing cash and securities balances and cash generated from operations are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's operating activities for the foreseeable future, as well as support near and long term debt obligations, completion of the capital improvements to the manufacturing facility, development of the existing pipeline compounds and to fund future acquisitions of products. Cash equivalents and marketable securities currently consist of immediately available money market funds, balances and investment grade securities. -5- Foreign Currency Fluctuations - ----------------------------- Roberts has subsidiary operations outside the United States. As a result, Roberts is subject to fluctuations in revenues and costs reported in United States dollars as a consequence of changing currency exchange rates, especially rates for the British pound and Canadian dollar. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates were not material for the period ended June 30, 1999. Euro Conversion - --------------- On January 1, 1999, a majority of the European Union member countries converted to a common currency, the "Euro". The existing national currencies of the participating countries will continue to be acceptable until January 1, 2002 after which the Euro will be the sole legal tender for the participating countries. The Company is currently evaluating the economic and operational impact, including competition, pricing, contracts, taxation and foreign currency exchange rate risk, of the Euro conversion but does not expect it to have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Year 2000 Conversion - -------------------- The year 2000 conversion problem arises from the inability of some information systems and other date-sensitive equipment with embedded chips or processors to properly recognize and process information after January 1, 2000. The Company's project to identify and remediate year 2000 issues is proceeding on schedule. The four main areas that have been or are being addressed are financial systems, non-financial systems, customers and suppliers readiness and other date- sensitive equipment. Over the past year, the Company has replaced or upgraded much of its software and systems in the normal course of business. The financial system was replaced with an Enterprise Resource Planning System which is year 2000 compliant based on the Company's review of the developer's certification documentation. The system was implemented in the U.S. in April, 1998, due to the need for an integrated, more advanced system to link the Finance and Sales departments located at headquarters with the new distribution facility. The Canadian and U.K. subsidiary implementations were completed as of January 4, 1999. These upgrades are also due to the new integrated reporting system and not year 2000 compliance. Due to the completion of the implementation, the three financial locations are electronically linked, enabling more timely completion of financial requirements. Non-financial software and hardware were also replaced in the normal course of business as the previous systems were outdated. The manufacturing plant, located in Canada, which was purchased by the Company in 1997, required various upgrades to its operating systems. New hardware and upgraded software were installed. The hardware was installed to replace outdated processing equipment. The software was installed to ensure year 2000 compliance. The Company's investment in this software was approximately $225,000 U.S. dollars. -6- One of the Company's customers requires the Company to meet certain electronic data interface (EDI) requirements related to year 2000 compliance in order for the customer to continue its relationship with the Company. The Company completed the testing and implementation of the compliant version in 1998 and is now listed on a national database of Y2K compliant trading partners in the healthcare pharmaceutical industry. The cost of meeting these EDI requirements was approximately $1,000. Approximately 50 to 60 percent of the Company's sales are currently made through EDI, through primarily one clearinghouse. This clearinghouse is year 2000 compliant and upgrades non-year 2000 compliant incoming transmissions to compliant transmissions. In the event that a non- compliant customer could not interface electronically, orders can be transmitted via phone, fax or mail, and therefore no disruption of sales would be expected. The Company is continuing its efforts to ascertain the compliance of other customers and suppliers through the means of a survey. Results to date indicate acceptable compliance levels. This program is ongoing and assessments regarding additional work, if necessary, will be made as responses are received. To assist in the effort, the Company has developed a tracking database to help monitor which business partners have taken part in the Company's survey, surveyed the Company or received a compliance letter from the Company. In the event that any of the Company's significant customers or suppliers do not achieve compliance on a timely basis, the Company's business or operations could be adversely impacted if new customers or alternate suppliers can not be found. Other date-sensitive equipment includes primarily telephones and the building security system. The telephone system at the U.S. headquarters was replaced in 1998 in the normal course of business as the lease on the former system expired. The new system is year 2000 compliant. The phone systems at the Canadian and U.K. locations and at the U.S. distribution facility have been replaced in order to be year 2000 compliant. The total cost of these new systems was approximately $70,000 U.S. dollars. The Company's security systems software will be upgraded, at a cost of approximately $6,000, in third quarter 1999 to assure compliance. In accordance with the Company's fixed asset capitalization policy, the hardware, software and phone systems purchased are added to fixed assets and amortized over the appropriate useful life. The Company has not retained any consultants nor hired additional employees to assist in achieving compliance. Other IT projects have not been delayed by the Company's year 2000 readiness project. Based on the Company's progress to date and timeline to complete the work on the Year 2000 compliance issue, the Company does not foresee significant financial or operational risks associated with its compliance at this time. However, these expectations are subject to uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to the ability to assess suppliers and customers readiness, failure to identify all susceptible systems and the availability and cost of personnel necessary to remediate any unforeseen problems. -7- Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
