RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Net income of $30,912,000 for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2001 increased $32,417,000 from a net loss of ($1,505,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The net income in the most recent period was favorably impacted by the reversal of a previously established valuation allowance of $8,370,000 related to NOL carryforwards. The Company did not recognize a tax benefit for its losses in fiscal year 2000. A revenue increase of $93,436,000, or 152%, from revenues realized during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 led to the significant improvement, reflecting the successful launch of fluoxetine (Prozac(R)) 10 mg and 20 mg tablets, fluoxetine 40 mg capsules, and megestrol acetate oral suspension (Megace(R) Oral Suspension). Net sales reached an all time high of $154,725,000 for the first nine months of fiscal year 2001 compared to net sales of $61,289,000 for the same period of last year. Following the sales growth, the gross margins increased to $61,112,000, or 39% of net sales, for the nine-month period of 2001, from $15,188,000, or 25% of net sales, in the same period of the prior year. The improved results included an increased investment in research and development in 2001 totaling $7,436,000 for the nine months, an increase of $2,102,000 from the comparable period of 2000. Selling, general and administrative costs for the most recent nine-month period of $15,385,000 increased by an absolute dollar amount of $4,180,000 from the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to the additional marketing programs, shipping costs and legal fees associated with new product launches. Third quarter 2001 net income of $26,850,000, including the income tax benefit of $8,370,000 related to previously unrecognized NOL carryforwards, increased $26,576,000 from the corresponding quarter of the prior year, reflecting the increased sales and gross margin growth described above. In the third quarter of 2001, the Company incurred higher costs for research and development, marketing, legal fees, shipping and personnel compared to the third quarter of 2000. Third quarter 2001 revenues and net income represent record highs for any quarter in the Company's history and exceed the annual totals for any fiscal year since 1989. In addition to its own product development program, the Company has several strategic alliances through which it co-develops and distributes products. As a result of its internal program and strategic alliances, the Company's pipeline of potential products includes 23 ANDAs (five of which have been tentatively approved), pending with, and awaiting approval from, the FDA. The Company pays a percentage of the gross profits to its strategic partners on sales of products covered by its distribution agreements (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Distribution and Supply Agreements"). In July 2001 and August 2001, the FDA granted approvals for three ANDA submissions, one each by Par, Reddy and Alphapharm, for megestrol acetate oral suspension and fluoxetine 40 mg capsules and 10 and 20 mg tablets, which as first-to-file opportunities entitled the Company up to 180 days of marketing exclusivity for the products. Par's ANDA approval for megestrol acetate oral suspension, which had an estimated $180 million of annual brand sales in 2000, is not subject to any profit sharing agreements. Reddy's ANDA approval for fluoxetine 40mg capsules, which had an estimated $275 million of annual brand sales in 2000, is covered under the Reddy Development and Supply Agreement. Alphapharm's ANDA approval for fluoxetine 10 mg tablets, which had an estimated $70 million of annual brand sales in 2000, and 20 mg tablets, which the Company believes should be able to compete for a share of the fluoxetine capsule market, are covered under the Genpharm Additional Product Agreement. Generic competitors of the Company received 180 days marketing exclusivity for fluoxetine 10 mg and 20 mg capsules. Fluoxetine 20 mg capsules had an estimated annual brand sales of nearly $2 billion in 2000. Annual brand sales are based on the Company's market research. The Company began marketing megestrol acetate oral suspension in July 2001 and all three strengths of fluoxetine in August 2001 (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Distribution and Supply Agreements" ). Critical to the continued improvement in the Company's financial condition is the introduction of new manufactured and distributed products at selling prices that generate significant gross margin. The Company, through its internal development program and strategic alliances, is committed to developing new products that have limited competition and longer product life cycles. In addition to new product introductions expected as part of its various strategic alliances, the Company plans to continue to invest in research and development efforts while seeking additional products for sale through new and existing distribution agreements, additional first-to-file opportunities, vertical integration with raw material suppliers and unique dosage forms and strengths to differentiate its products in the marketplace. The Company is engaged in efforts, subject to FDA approval and other factors, to introduce new products as a result of its research and development efforts and distribution and development agreements with third parties. No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain or develop any additional products for sale. The generic drug industry in the United States continues to be highly competitive. The factors contributing to the intense competition and affecting both the introduction of new products and the pricing and profit margins of the Company, include, among other things: (i) introduction of other generic drug manufacturer's products in direct competition with the Company's significant products, (ii) consolidation among distribution outlets through mergers, acquisitions and the formation of buying groups, (iii) ability of generic competitors to quickly enter the market after patent expiration or exclusivity periods, diminishing the amount and duration of significant profits, (iv) willingness of generic drug customers, including wholesale and retail customers, to switch among pharmaceutical manufacturers and (v) pricing and product deletions by competitors. NET SALES Net sales for the nine months ended September 29, 2001 of $154,725,000 increased $93,436,000, or 152%, from net sales of $61,289,000 for the corresponding nine-month period of 2000. The sales increase was due to the launch of fluoxetine 10 mg and 20 mg tablets sold under a distribution agreement with Genpharm, fluoxetine 40 mg capsules sold under a distribution agreement with Reddy, and megestrol acetate oral suspension manufactured by the Company. Net sales of distributed products, which consist of products manufactured under contract and licensed products, were approximately 63% of the Company's net sales in each of the comparable nine-month periods. The Company is substantially dependent upon distributed products for its sales, and as the Company introduces new products under its distribution agreements, it is expected that this trend will continue. Any inability by suppliers to meet expected demand could adversely affect future sales. Net sales of $99,724,000 for the third quarter of 2001 increased $79,288,000, or 388%, from $20,436,000 for the corresponding quarter of 2000, primarily due to the introduction of new products during the quarter. Net sales of distributed products were approximately 67% of the Company's total net sales in the most recent quarter compared to approximately 66% of the total for the same quarter of last year. For the nine and three-month periods ended September 29, 2001, net sales of fluoxetine and megestrol acetate oral suspension were $56,521,000 and $21,906,000, respectively. Based on the Company's market research for the twelve weeks ended October 26, 2001, Par had captured approximately 79.7 percent of new generic and brand prescriptions in the U.S. market for 40 mg fluoxetine and 22.6 percent of new generic prescriptions in the U.S. market for 10 and 20 mg -2- fluoxetine. In addition, the Company held a 43.8 percent share of new generic and brand prescriptions in the U.S. market for megestrol acetate oral suspension for the thirteen weeks ended October 26, 2001. The Company recognizes revenue at the time its products are shipped to its customers as, at that time, the risk of loss or physical damage to the product passes to the customer, and the obligations of customers to pay for the products are not dependent on the resale of the product or the Company's assistance in such resale. As is common in the Company's industry, customers are permitted to return unused product, after approval from the Company, up to 180 days before and one year after the expiration date for the product's lot. Additionally, certain customers are eligible for price rebates, offered as an incentive to increase sales volume, on the basis of the volume of purchases of a product over a specified period which generally ranges from one to three months, and certain customers are credited with chargebacks on the basis of their resales to end-use customers, such as HMO's, which have contracted with the Company for quantity discounts. In each instance the Company has the historical experience and access to other information, including the total demand for each drug the Company manufactures, the Company's market share, the recent or pending introduction of new drugs, the inventory practices of the Company's customers and the resales by its customers to end-users having contracts with the Company, necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such returns or allowances, and records reserves for such returns or allowances at the time of sale. In addition to granting the returns or price adjustments discussed above, the Company may offer price protection, or shelf-stock adjustment, with respect to sales of new generic drugs for which it has a market exclusivity period. To account for the fact that the price of such drugs may decline when additional generic manufacturers introduce and market a comparable generic product at the end of the exclusivity period, such plans, which are common in the industry, generally provide the Company will credit its customers for the difference between the Company's new price at the end of the exclusivity period and the price at which the Company sold the customers the product with respect to the quantity remaining on the customer's shelf at the end of the exclusivity period. As a result, the total price protection the Company will credit customers with at the end of an exclusivity period will depend on the amount by which the price declines as the result of the introduction of comparable generic products by additional manufacturers, and the shelf stock customers will have at the end of the exclusivity period. In the Company's experience the amount by which the price of a drug may decline at the end of an exclusivity period will depend in part on the number of additional generic manufacturers that introduce and market a comparable product, and Company estimates the amount by which prices will decline based on its monitoring of the number and status of FDA applications and tentative approvals and its historical experience with other drugs for which the Company had market exclusivity. The Company estimates the amount of shelf stock that will remain at the end of an exclusivity period based on both its knowledge of the inventory practices for wholesalers and retail distributors and conversations it has with its major wholesale customers. Using these factors, the Company can reasonably estimate the total price protection credit it will have to issue at the end of an exclusivity period. The Company records periodic charges (reductions of sales) to accrue this amount over the exclusivity period, with the aggregate charge allocated to each period based on the Company's projection of its sales, over the exclusivity period, of the drug in question. At September 30, 2001 the Company was within the exclusivity period with respect to two drugs; megestrol acetate oral suspension and fluoxetine. With respect to megestrol acetate oral suspension, for which the exclusivity period ends in mid-January, 2002, the Company did not record a reserve for price protection credits, as the Company does not foresee that other generic manufacturers will introduce and market a comparable product in the near future. With respect to fluoxetine, for which the exclusivity period ends in late-January, 2002, at September 30, 2001 the Company had established a price protection reserve of approximately $28 million, based on its estimate that at the end of its exclusivity period between eight and ten additional generic manufacturers will introduce and market comparable products for the 10mg and 20mg tablets and between one and three additional manufacturers will introduce and market a comparable product for the 40 mg capsules. Sales of the Company's products continue to be principally dependent upon, among other things, (i) pricing levels and competition, (ii) market penetration for the existing product line, (iii) the continuation of existing distribution agreements, (iv) introduction of new distributed products, (v) approval of ANDAs and introduction of new manufactured products, including potential exclusivity periods, and (vi) the level of customer service. -3- GROSS MARGIN The gross margin of $61,112,000 (39% of net sales) for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2001 increased $45,924,000 from $15,188,000 (25% of net sales) in the corresponding period of the prior year. The gross margin improvement was achieved through additional contributions from sales of higher margin new products, and to a lesser extent, increased sales of certain existing products and more favorable manufacturing overhead variances. The third quarter 2001 gross margin of $41,563,000 (42% of net sales) increased $36,400,000 from $5,163,000 (25% of net sales) in the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The higher gross margins in the most recent quarter reflect the launch of higher margin new products, and to a lesser extent, more favorable manufacturing overhead variances. For the nine and three-month periods ended September 29, 2001, fluoxetine, which is subject to profit sharing agreements with Genpharm and Reddy, contributed approximately $18,900,000 to the margin improvement while megestrol acetate oral suspension contributed approximately $17,000,000. As a result of the 180-day marketing exclusivity granted to the Company for fluoxetine and megestrol acetate oral suspension, pricing for these products is such that they yield relatively high gross margins, before applicable profit splits, (but after the reduction of sales for the price protection reserve discussed above) during the exclusivity period. The 180 days marketing exclusivity will extend into late January-2002 for fluoxetine and until mid-January 2002 for megestrol acetate oral suspension. As discussed above, the Company currently anticipates that at the end of its exclusivity period additional generic manufacturers will introduce and market fluoxetine. As a result, the Company's gross margin, as a percentage of sales, from fluoxetine may be expected to decline in the future. The Company's gross margin, as a percentage of sales, for megestrol acetate oral suspension could also decline if additional manufacturers introduce and market a comparable generic product. Inventory write-offs amounted to $1,195,000 and $729,000 for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 29, 2001, respectively, compared to $1,010,000 and $180,000 in the corresponding periods of the prior year. The inventory write-offs, taken in the normal course of business, are primarily related to work-in-process inventory not meeting the Company's quality control standards and the disposal of finished products due to short shelf lives. The higher inventory write-offs in the most recent year include the disposal of validation batches related to manufacturing process improvements. OPERATING EXPENSES RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT In the nine-month period ended September 29, 2001, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $7,436,000 compared to $5,334,000 for the corresponding nine months of the prior year. The increased costs were primarily attributable to higher material, bio-study and personnel costs, and additional payments for formulation development work performed for PRI by unaffiliated companies. Annual research and development costs in 2001 are expected to exceed the total for fiscal year 2000. The Company's domestic research and development program is integrated with IPR, its research operation in Israel. Research and development expenses at IPR for the most recent nine-month period were $865,000, net of Generics funding, compared to expenses of $935,000 for the comparable period of last year. The Company, IPR and Generics have an agreement pursuant to which Generics shares one-half of the costs of IPR's operating budget up to a maximum payment of $1,000,000 in any one calendar year in exchange for the exclusive distribution rights outside of the United States to the products developed by IPR after the date of the agreement (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Research and Development Agreement"). Research and development expenses of $3,779,000 in the third quarter of 2001 increased $2,900,000 from the third quarter of 2000. The most recent three-month period included increased costs for bio-studies related to products co-developed with Genpharm, development materials and personnel. In addition, the third quarter of the prior year included lower payments to unaffiliated development companies and the reimbursement of certain expenses by Genpharm. Research and development expenses at IPR in the most recent quarter were $289,000, net of Generics funding, compared to expenses of $313,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. The Company currently has three ANDAs for potential products pending with, and awaiting approval from, the FDA as a result of its own product development program. In addition, the Company has in process or expects to -4- commence biostudies for at least four additional products during the remainder of 2001. None of the potential products described above are subject to any profit sharing arrangements through the Company's strategic alliances. Under the Genpharm Distribution Agreement, Genpharm pays the research and development costs associated with the products covered by the Genpharm Distribution Agreement. Currently, there are 12 ANDAs for potential products (five of which have been tentatively approved) that are covered by the Genpharm Distribution Agreement pending with, and awaiting approval from, the FDA. To date, the Company is marketing 14 products under the Genpharm Distribution Agreement. Flecainide acetate tablets (Tambocor(R)), which is covered under the Genpharm Distribution Agreement, received final approval from the FDA in July 2001. The Company anticipates commencing the marketing of the product in the first quarter of 2002 (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Distribution and Supply Agreements-Genpharm, Inc."). Genpharm and the Company share the costs of developing the products covered under the Genpharm Additional Product Agreement. Currently, there is one ANDA for a potential product covered by the Genpharm Additional Product Agreement pending with, and awaiting approval from, the FDA. The Company began marketing fluoxetine 10 mg and 20 mg tablets, covered under the Genpharm Additional Product Agreement, in August 2001 (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Distribution and Supply Agreements-Genpharm, Inc."). SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE Although selling, general and administrative costs of $15,385,000 for the nine months ended September 29, 2001 increased $4,180,000, or 37%, over the same period of last year, the cost as a percentage of net sales in the respective periods decreased to 10% in 2001 from 18% in 2000. The higher dollar amounts in the current nine-month period were primarily attributable to additional marketing programs, shipping costs and legal fees associated with new product introductions, and to a lesser extent, increased personnel costs. The Company anticipates it will continue to incur a high level of legal expenses related to the costs of litigation connected with certain potential new product introductions (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Commitments, Contingencies and Other Matters-Legal Proceedings"). For the three-month period ended September 29, 2001, selling, general and administrative costs increased $2,948,000, or 77%, in absolute dollars to $6,793,000 (7% of net sales) from $3,845,000 (19% of net sales) for the corresponding three-month period of the prior year primarily due to higher marketing, shipping, legal and personnel expenses. OTHER INCOME Other income of $431,000 and $67,000 for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 29, 2001, respectively, decreased from $504,000 and $112,000 in the corresponding periods of 2000. Included in the nine-month 2001 total was a payment from 3M to the Company releasing the parties from a prior product agreement recorded in the first quarter of 2001 while the nine-month period of 2000 included payments from strategic partners to reimburse the Company for research costs incurred in prior periods. INCOME TAXES The Company recorded income tax provisions of $7,230,000 and $4,070,000, net of tax benefits of $8,370,000 related to previously unrecognized NOL carryforwards, for the nine and three-month periods, respectively, ended September 29, 2001. A gross deferred tax asset of $6.0 million related to NOL carryforwards remained unutilized at September 29, 2001. The Company evaluated the relevant information related to the realization of the unutilized NOL carryforwards, including an assessment of the Company's ability to utilize the NOL carryforwards, in light of potential limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code related to changes in the ownership of the Company's common stock, and ongoing assessments of the NOL carryforwards generated in earlier years. Based on these factors, a full valuation allowance of $6.0 million against the unutilized NOL carryforwards was recorded. The Company did not recognize a benefit for its operating losses for the nine months ended September 29, 2000 (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Income Taxes"). -5- FINANCIAL CONDITION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash and cash equivalents of $2,509,000 at September 29, 2001 increased from $222,000 at December 31, 2000. Proceeds from issuance of Common Stock from the exercise of options and warrants and net cash provided by operations were used to pay down the Company's credit line with GECC and to fund capital projects. Working capital, which includes cash and cash equivalents increased to $80,947,000 at September 29, 2001 from $18,512,000 at December 31, 2000, primarily due to increased accounts receivable and deferred income tax assets. The working capital ratio improved to 2.13x at September 29, 2001 compared to 1.65x at December 31, 2000. The Company, from time to time, enters into agreements with third parties with respect to the development of new products and technologies. To date, the Company has entered into agreements and advanced funds to several non-affiliated companies for products in various stages of development. The payments are expensed as incurred and included in research and development costs. Annual research and development expenses, including payments to non-affiliated companies, are expected to total approximately $10,000,000 for the entire fiscal year 2001. As of September 29, 2001 the Company's accounts payable balance increased to $48,621,000 due primarily to a total of approximately $35,600,000 payable to strategic partners related to profit sharing agreements for fluoxetine. The Company expects to pay these amounts from its working capital by November 2001. On March 30, 2001, the Company reached an agreement with 3M pursuant to which 3M paid the Company $750,000 in April 2001, releasing the parties from a prior product agreement (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Commitments, Contingencies and Other Matters-Legal Proceedings"). In June 2000, the Company agreed to sell its remaining distribution rights back to Elan for a non-prescription transdermal nicotine patch and to terminate Par's right to royalty payments under a prior agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company received a $500,000 payment in July 2001 (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Distribution and Supply Agreements-Elan Corporation"). In March 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to lease, with an option to purchase, its Congers Facility to Halsey. Halsey paid the Company a purchase option of $100,000 in March 1999 and is obligated to pay rent of $500,000 annually during the initial three-year term of the lease. The rent is expected to continue to cover the Company's fixed costs of the facility in subsequent periods. Under the purchase option, Halsey may purchase the facility and substantially all the machinery and equipment at any time during the lease for a specified amount (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Leasing Agreement"). The Company, IPR and Generics entered into the Development Agreement, dated August 11, 1998, pursuant to which Generics agreed to fund one-half of the costs of IPR's operating budget in exchange for the exclusive distribution rights outside of the United States to the products developed by IPR after the date of the agreement. In addition, Generics agreed to pay IPR a perpetual royalty for all sales of the products by Generics or its affiliates outside the United States. To date, no such products have been brought to market by Generics and no royalty has been paid to IPR. Pursuant to the Development Agreement, Generics paid the Company $800,000 for fiscal year 2000 and $587,000 for the first nine months of 2001, fulfilling their funding requirements through September 29, 2001. Generics is not required to fund more than $1,000,000 for any one calendar year (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Research and Development Agreement"). The Company expects to fund its operations, including research and development activities and its obligations under the existing distribution and development arrangements discussed herein, out of its working capital and, if necessary, with available borrowings against its line of credit, if and to the extent available (see "-Financing"). -6- FINANCING At September 29, 2001, the Company's total outstanding long-term debt, including the current portion, amounted to $1,355,000. The amount consists primarily of an outstanding mortgage loan with a bank and capital leases for computer equipment. In June 2001, the Company and the bank entered into an agreement that extended the terms of the mortgage loan of which the remaining balance was originally due in May 2001. The mortgage loan extension, in the principal amount of $877,000, is to be paid in equal monthly installments over a term of 13 years maturing May 1, 2014. The mortgage loan has a fixed interest rate of 8.5% per annum, with rate resets after the fifth and tenth years based upon a per annum rate of 3.25% over the five-year Federal Home Loan Bank of NY rate. Par entered into the Loan Agreement with GECC in December 1996, which as amended, provides Par with a 78-month revolving line of credit expiring June 2003. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Par is permitted to borrow up to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base established under the Loan Agreement or (ii) $20,000,000. The borrowing base is limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory of Par, each as determined from time to time by GECC. The interest rate charged on the line of credit is based upon a per annum rate of 2.25% above the 30-day commercial paper rate for high-grade unsecured notes adjusted monthly. The line of credit with GECC is secured by the assets of Par and PRI other than real property and is guaranteed by PRI. In connection with such facility, Par, PRI and their affiliates have established a cash management system pursuant to which all cash and cash equivalents received by any of such entities would be deposited into a lockbox account over which GECC would have sole operating control if there were amounts outstanding under the line of credit. The deposits would then be applied on a daily basis to reduce the amounts outstanding under the line of credit. The revolving credit facility is subject to covenants based on various financial benchmarks. As of September 29, 2001, the borrowing base was approximately $19,287,000. To date, no debt is outstanding under the loan agreement. -7- SIGNATURE 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.
