“SurModics generated strong financial results in the third quarter, including double-digit revenue growth in all three of our operating segments for the third consecutive quarter,” said Bruce Barclay, president and chief executive officer. “We are extremely pleased to have achieved several more of our fiscal 2008 goals during the quarter. In particular, three quarters into our fiscal year, we have already surpassed our goal of signing 18 new licenses with customers. By signing six new licenses during the quarter, our fiscal year total is 19. We also met our goal of 10 new product launches by our customers, with four new launches during the quarter. Additionally, Brookwood met its goal of signing a development agreement with a top 50 pharma company.”
“In addition to these outstanding results, perhaps most significantly, our program with Merck in ophthalmology continues to go well, as we celebrated the one year anniversary of the companies’ License and Research Collaboration Agreement in June,” continued Barclay. “During the quarter, we achieved two of our goals in ophthalmology when Merck initiated a Phase IIb clinical trial of the I-vation TA intravitreal implant. This achievement, which is the culmination of many months of hard work by the teams at Merck and SurModics, triggered a milestone payment of $9 million from Merck to SurModics under our agreement. Our collaboration with Merck has generated over $38 million in total cash in its first year. As of the end of the quarter, our total Merck deferred revenue balance had grown to $34.6 million.”
For the third quarter of fiscal 2008, revenue was $24.3 million, an increase of 37% from $17.8 million in the year-earlier period. Total operating expenses, including product costs, were $17.1 million, compared with $10.2 million last year. Operating income was $7.2 million, a decrease of 4% compared with $7.5 million in the prior-year period. Net income was $4.8 million, a 14% decrease from $5.6 million in the same period last year. Diluted net income per share was $0.26, a 16% decrease from $0.31 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Consistent with the first two quarters of fiscal 2008, earnings growth did not keep pace with revenue growth primarily because of the accounting treatment relating to our Merck agreement, and a changing mix of revenue sources.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2008, revenue was a record $73.8 million, compared with $51.9 million in the year earlier period, and already exceeding fiscal 2007 full-year

revenue of $73.2 million. Operating income was $21.9 million, compared with $23.7 million in the prior year period; net income was $15.6 million, compared with $17.3 million in the year earlier period; and diluted net income per share was $0.85, compared with $0.95 in the first nine months of fiscal 2007.
On a non-GAAP basis (adjusting revenue for the accounting treatment of the Merck agreement), for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, total revenue was $34.0 million, operating income was $17.0 million, net income was $10.8 million, and diluted net income per share was $0.59. On a non-GAAP basis, for the nine-month period ending June 30, 2008, total revenue was $87.8 million, operating income was $36.0 million, net income was $24.1 million, and diluted net income per share was $1.31. On a non-GAAP basis, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, total revenue was $37.8 million, operating income was $27.5 million, net income was $18.4 million, and diluted net income per share was $1.02. On a non-GAAP basis, for the nine-month period ending June 30, 2007, total revenue was $71.9 million, operating income was $43.7 million, net income was $29.8 million, and diluted net income per share was $1.64.
SurModics’ pipeline of customer projects continues to grow. As of June 30, 2008, SurModics’ customers had 102 licensed product classes generating royalty revenue, up from 98 in the prior-year period; the total number of licensed product classes not yet launched was 105, compared with 93 in the prior-year period; and major non-licensed opportunities totaled 98, compared with 74 a year ago. In total, SurModics now has 203 potential commercial products in development.
SurModics’ cash and investment balances totaled $70.0 million as of June 30, 2008. Operating cash flow for the quarter was $13.7 million, compared with $7.1 million in the prior year period. These figures do not include the $9 million milestone payment from Merck, which was received in the fourth quarter.
“SurModics’ cash position and cash flow generation remain robust,” said Phil Ankeny, senior vice president and chief financial officer. “We continue to be active in the deployment of capital with a goal of enhancing shareholder value. We are pleased to have purchased over $11 million of stock in the share repurchase program announced

this past November. We also have been making investments in our facilities to provide cGMP manufacturing capabilities in support of our customers. Despite having deployed over $23 million in these initiatives in fiscal 2008, our cash and investment balance remains strong, at approximately $70 million. Finally, SurModics continually reviews business development opportunities that can support our growth strategy, enhance our market positioning and add shareholder value.”

Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, such as, statements about our ability to achieve our fiscal 2008 corporate goals and long-term objectives and statements regarding our pipeline, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including the following: (1) realizing the full potential benefits of the company’s agreement with Merck requires the development of new products and applications of technology; (2) costs or difficulties relating to the integration of the businesses of Brookwood Pharmaceuticals and BioFX Laboratories with SurModics’ business may be greater than expected and may adversely affect the company’s results of operations and financial condition; (3) our reliance on third parties, developments in the regulatory environment, as well as market and general economic conditions, may adversely affect our business operations and profitability and our ability to achieve our fiscal 2008 corporate goals and to realize the potential of our pipeline; (4) failure to obtain intellectual property rights protecting our proprietary technologies, or the expiration or loss of such rights, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations; and (5) other factors identified under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, and updated in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC. These reports are available in the Investors section of our website at www.surmodics.com and at the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, SurModics is reporting non-GAAP financial results including non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful insight into our operating performance as it relates to our Merck agreement accounting treatment and provide an alternative perspective of our results of operations. We use these non-GAAP measures to assess our operating performance and to determine payout under

 

 

SurModics Reports Third Quarter 2008 Results

our executive compensation programs. We believe that presentation of these non-GAAP measures allows investors to review our results of operations from the same perspective as management and our board of directors. We believe these non-GAAP measures facilitate investors’ analysis and comparisons of our current results of operations and provide insight into the prospects of our future performance. We also believe that the non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide supplemental information that research analysts frequently use. The method we use to produce non-GAAP results is not in accordance with GAAP and may differ from the methods used by other companies. These non-GAAP results should not be regarded as a substitute for corresponding GAAP measures but instead should be utilized as a supplemental measure of operating performance in evaluating our business. Non-GAAP measures do have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. As such, these non-GAAP measures should be viewed in conjunction with both our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliation of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP results provided for each period presented, which are attached to this release.
