HERTFORDSHIRE, England and PITTSBURGH, May 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mylan N.V. (NASDAQ, TASE: MYL) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Financial Highlights

• Total revenues of $2.19 billion, up 19% on a constant currency basis compared to the prior year period (up 17% on a U.S. GAAP basis)
  • Generics segment third party net sales of $1.93 billion, up 19% on a constant currency basis (up 17% on a U.S. GAAP basis). All regions in the Generics segment showed positive year-over-year growth.
  • Specialty segment third party net sales of $247.9 million, up 17%
• Adjusted diluted earnings per ordinary share ("EPS") of $0.76, up 9% compared to the prior year period; U.S. GAAP diluted EPS of $0.03, down 77% as a result of higher operating expenses, including amortization expense related to acquisitions completed during 2015
• Reaffirms 2016 total revenues guidance of $10.5 billion to $11.5 billion, the midpoint of which represents an increase of 16% versus 2015, and 2016 adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $4.85 to $5.15, the midpoint of which represents an increase of 16% versus 2015 (U.S. GAAP diluted EPS of $2.38 to $2.43, the midpoint of which represents an increase of 41% versus 2015)

Mylan CEO Heather Bresch commented, "We are off to a great start in 2016 with our strong first quarter results delivering year-over-year constant currency total revenues growth of 19% and adjusted diluted EPS growth of 9%. We showed again the strength and resilience of Mylan's diverse, global platform, with double digit revenue growth in Europe, Rest of World and Specialty and high single digit revenue growth in North America. Based on our first quarter performance, we remain highly confident in our guidance and our business outlook for the full year 2016. Despite much external focus and discussion of the pricing environment, consistent with our previously communicated 2016 guidance and given Mylan's position as a large-scale, differentiated player, we continue to see nothing out of the ordinary to change our generic pricing assumptions of low- to mid-single digit erosion for the full year.

Almost a decade ago, we laid out our vision and strategy for growth and our belief that it would come from both organic and inorganic initiatives to create unmatched scale in manufacturing, broad breadth in our product portfolio, and expansion across all geographic territories - all with the aim of achieving our mission of providing access to medicine to patients around the world. We are excited about our pending acquisition of Meda, which will further strengthen and diversify our business in terms of product portfolio, customer channels, and geography, and position us for continued growth and value creation over the near- and long-term. I am pleased to note that Meda's Q1 2016 earnings results reported this morning were in-line with our modeled expectations for the business, and we remain fully committed to and look forward to closing this transaction."

Total Revenues

*Beginning in the first quarter of 2016, the Company reclassified sales from its Brazilian operation from the Rest of World region to the North America region. The amount reclassified for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was approximately $10.2 million.

Generics Segment Revenues

Generics segment third party net sales were $1.93 billion for the quarter, an increase of 17% when compared to the prior year period. When translating third party net sales for the current quarter at prior year comparative period exchange rates ("constant currency"), third party net sales increased by 19%.

• Third party net sales from North America were $919.7 million for the quarter, an increase of 8% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was principally due to net sales from products launched since April 1, 2015 ("new products"), and to a lesser extent, incremental net sales from our established products. Factors offsetting this increase were lower sales on existing products. Constant currency third party net sales from North America increased by 8%.
• Third party net sales from Europe were $587.7 million for the quarter, an increase of 45% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of incremental net sales from our established products as well as new products. Higher volumes on existing products, primarily in France, were offset by lower pricing throughout Europe, due to government-imposed pricing reductions and competitive market conditions. Constant currency third party net sales from Europe increased by 47%.
• Third party net sales from Rest of World were $420.8 million for the quarter, an increase of 10% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by incremental net sales from established products, net sales by Jai Pharma Limited (certain female healthcare businesses acquired from Famy Care Limited), and to a lesser extent, new product launches across the region. Higher volumes in Japan and Australia also contributed to the increase. These increases were partially offset by lower pricing throughout the region and a decrease in third party net sales volumes from our operations in India, in particular the anti-retroviral ("ARV") franchise. Constant currency third party net sales from Rest of World increased by 15%.

Specialty Segment Revenues

Specialty segment reported third party net sales were $247.9 million for the quarter, an increase of 17% when compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily the result of higher volumes of the EpiPen® Auto-Injector and higher sales of the Perforomist® Inhalation Solution.

Total Gross Profit

Adjusted gross profit was $1.18 billion and adjusted gross margins were 54% for the quarter as compared to adjusted gross profit of $990.6 million and adjusted gross margins of 53% in the comparable prior year period. The current quarter increase was primarily due to the incremental contribution from established products in the first quarter of 2016 as well as new product introductions, partially offset by decreased margins on existing products in North America. U.S. GAAP gross profit was $907.0 million and $830.1 million for the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. U.S. GAAP gross margins were 41% and 44% in the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The decrease in gross margins relates principally to additional amortization expense related to acquisitions completed during 2015.

Total Profitability

Adjusted earnings from operations for the quarter were $490.1 million, up 14% from the comparable prior year period. U.S. GAAP earnings from operations were $105.6 million for the quarter, a decrease of 34% from the comparable prior year period. R&D expense on an adjusted basis increased primarily as a result of the continued development of our respiratory, insulin and biologics programs. U.S. GAAP R&D expense also increased primarily as a result of an upfront payment made to Momenta for $45 million related to the Company's collaboration agreement. SG&A expense on a U.S. GAAP and adjusted basis primarily increased due to the incremental expense related to the established products.

EBITDA, which is defined as net earnings (excluding the non-controlling interest and losses from equity method investees) plus income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, was $417.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, and $340.5 million for the comparable prior year quarter. Adjusted net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. increased by $77.2 million to $386.3 million compared to $309.1 million for the prior year comparable period. U.S. GAAP net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. decreased by $42.7 million to $13.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $56.6 million for the comparable prior year period. After adjusting for certain items as further detailed in the reconciliation below, adjusted EBITDA was $583.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and $504.6 million for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted diluted EPS increased 9% to $0.76 compared to $0.70 in the prior year comparable period. U.S. GAAP diluted EPS decreased from $0.13 to $0.03 as a result of higher operating expenses, including amortization expense related to acquisitions completed during 2015.

Cash Flow

Adjusted cash provided by operating activities was $202 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $336 million for the comparable prior year period. On a U.S. GAAP basis, net cash provided by operating activities was $81 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $267 million for the comparable prior year period. Capital expenditures were approximately $52 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to approximately $48 million for the comparable prior year period. Adjusted free cash flow was $150 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $288 million in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the presentation and discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures, including, but not limited to, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted cash provided by operating activities, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margins, adjusted earnings from operations, adjusted net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. ("Mylan" or the "Company"), constant currency total revenues, constant currency third party net sales, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow, are presented in order to supplement investors' and other readers' understanding and assessment of the Company's financial performance. Management uses these measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. In addition, primarily due to acquisitions, Mylan believes that an evaluation of its ongoing operations (and comparisons of its current operations with historical and future operations) would be difficult if the disclosure of its financial results were limited to financial measures prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company believes that including EBITDA and supplemental adjustments applied in presenting adjusted EBITDA pursuant to our debt agreements is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to demonstrate the Company's ability to comply with financial debt covenants (which are calculated using a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA) and assess the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness. We also report sales performance using the non-GAAP financial measure of "constant currency" total revenues and third party net sales. This measure provides information on the change in net sales assuming that foreign currency exchange rates had not changed between the prior and current period. The comparisons presented as constant currency rates reflect comparative local currency sales at the prior year's foreign exchange rates. We routinely evaluate our third party net sales performance at constant currency so that sales results can be viewed without the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating a period-to-period comparison of our operational activities, and we believe that this presentation also provides useful information to investors for the same reason. The "Summary of Total Revenues by Segment" table below compares third party net sales on an actual and constant currency basis for each reportable segment and the geographic regions within the Generics segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Also, set forth below, Mylan has provided reconciliations of such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Investors and other readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures set forth below, and investors and other readers should consider non-GAAP measures only as supplements to, not as substitutes for or as superior measures to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Below is a reconciliation of U.S. GAAP net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. and U.S. GAAP diluted EPS to adjusted net earnings attributable to Mylan N.V. and adjusted diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the respective prior year period (in millions, except per share amounts):

Reconciliation of Forecasted Guidance

The reconciliations below are based on management's estimate of adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS for the twelve months ending December 31, 2016. Mylan expects certain known U.S. GAAP amounts for 2016, as presented in the reconciliation below. Other U.S. GAAP charges, including those related to potential litigation, asset impairments and restructuring programs that would be excluded from the adjusted results are possible, but their amounts are dependent on numerous factors that we currently cannot ascertain with sufficient certainty or are presently unknown. These U.S. GAAP charges are dependent upon future events and valuations that have not yet occurred or been performed. The unaudited forecasted amounts presented below are stated in millions, except for earnings per share data.
