Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

1. Reporting entity:

Theratechnologies Inc. is a specialty pharmaceutical company that discovers and develops innovative therapeutic peptide products, with an emphasis on growth-hormone releasing factor (“GRF”) peptides.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Theratechnologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Company” and individually as “the subsidiaries of the Company”).

Theratechnologies Inc. is governed by the Business Corporations Act (Québec) and is domiciled in Québec, Canada. The Company is located at 2310 boul. Alfred-Nobel, Montreal, Québec, H4S 2B4.

 

2. Basis of preparation:

 

  (a) Accounting framework:

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”), including comparative information, have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as prescribed by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”).

Certain information, in particular the accompanying notes normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, has been omitted or condensed. These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures required under IFRS and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2011 and the notes thereto.

 

  (b) Summary of accounting policies:

The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited annual financial statements as at November 30, 2011.

Other new or amended accounting standards had no impact on the Company’s accounting methods.

 

  (c) Basis of measurement:

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern and historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale financial assets, derivative financial assets, liabilities related to the deferred stock unit plan and derivative financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value.

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, except per share amounts)

 

2. Basis of preparation (continued):

 

  (d) Use of estimates and judgements:

The preparation of the Company’s interim financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies and assumption and estimation uncertainties that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is noted below:

 

   

Revenue and deferred revenue:

Revenue recognition is subject to critical judgements, particularly in collaboration agreements that include multiple deliverables, as judgement is required in allocating revenue to each component, including upfront payments, milestone payments, research services, royalties and license fees and sale of goods.

 

   

Stock option plan:

There is estimation uncertainty with respect to selecting inputs to Black-Scholes model used to determine the fair value of the stock options.

 

   

Income taxes:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. The generation of future taxable income is dependent on the successful commercialization of the Company’s products and technologies.

 

   

Contingent liability:

Management uses judgment in assessing the possibility of any outflow in settlement of contingent liabilities.

Other areas of judgement and uncertainty relate to the estimation of accruals for clinical trial expenses, the recoverability of inventories, the measurement of the amount and assessment of the recoverability of tax credits and grants receivable and capitalization of development expenditures.

2. Basis of preparation (continued):

 

  (d) Use of estimates and judgements (continued):

Reported amounts and note disclosure reflect the overall economic conditions that are most likely to occur and anticipated measures management intends to take. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The above estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

 

  (e) Functional and presentation currency:

These interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in Canadian dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

 

3. Upcoming changes in accounting standards:

 

  (a) Amendments to existing standards:

Annual improvements to IFRS:

The IASB’s improvements to IFRS contain seven amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement purposes. The most significant features of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2010 which are applicable for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with partial adoption permitted are included under the specific revisions to standards discussed below.

 

  (i) IFRS 7:

Amendment to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures:

Multiple clarifications related to the disclosure of financial instruments and in particular in regards to transfers of financial assets.

 

  (ii) IAS 1:

Amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements:

Entities may present the analysis of the components of other comprehensive income either in the statement of changes in equity or within the notes to the financial statements.

  (a) Amendments to existing standards (continued):

Annual improvements to IFRS (continued):

 

  (iii) IAS 24:

Amendment to IAS 24, Related Party Disclosures:

There are limited differences in the definition of what constitutes a related party; however, the amendment requires more detailed disclosures regarding commitments.

 

  (iv) IAS 34:

Amendment to IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting:

The amendments place greater emphasis on the disclosure principles for interim financial reporting involving significant events and transactions, including changes to fair value measurements and the need to update relevant information from the most recent annual report.

The adoption of these amendments to existing standards had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

  (b) New or revised standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted:

In addition, the following new or revised standards and interpretations have been issued but are not yet applicable to the Company:

 

  (i) IFRS 9, Financial Instruments:

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015, with earlier adoption permitted.

Applies to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. It is the first of three phases of a project to develop standards to replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments.

 

  (ii) IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements:

Effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier adoption permitted.

Establishes principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation requirements in SIC-12, Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities, and IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.

The net inventory provision of $8 (2011 – $310) was recorded in cost of sales.

The write-down of 2011 was due to pricing related to raw materials that were originally purchased under research and development conditions and not under the Company’s current long-term procurement agreements.

8. Share capital:

 

  (a) Deferred stock unit plan:

On December 10, 2010, the Board of Directors adopted a deferred stock unit plan (the “DSU Plan”) for the benefit of its directors and officers (the “Beneficiaries”). The goal of the DSU Plan is to increase the Company’s ability to attract and retain high-quality individuals to act as directors or officers and better align their interests with those of the shareholders of the Company in the creation of long-term value. Under the terms of the DSU Plan, Beneficiaries who are directors are entitled to elect to receive all or part of their annual retainer to act as directors and as Chair of the Board in DSU. Beneficiaries who act as officers are entitled to elect to receive all or part of their annual bonus, if any, in DSU. The value of a DSU (the “DSU Value”) is equal to the average closing price of the common shares on The Toronto Stock Exchange on the date on which a Beneficiary determines that he desires to receive or redeem DSU and during the four (4) previous trading days. Effective February 7, 2012, beneficiaries who act as directors must elect to receive DSU before each calendar quarter, whereas Beneficiaries who act as officers must make that election within 48 hours after having been notified of their annual bonus. For the purposes of granting DSU, the DSU Value for directors is determined on the first trading day of the beginning of a calendar quarter and the DSU Value for officers is determined on the second business day after they have been notified of their annual bonus.

8. Share capital (continued):

 

  (a) Deferred stock unit plan (continued):

DSU may only be redeemed when a Beneficiary ceases to act as a director or an officer of the Company, except with respect to DSU held by the president and chief executive officer. Under the terms of the employment agreement of the president and chief executive officer of the Company, DSU may only be redeemed from the business day preceding the third anniversary date of their dates of grant but no later than the last day of the third calendar year following the calendar year during which DSU were granted. Upon redemption, the Company must provide a Beneficiary with an amount in cash equal to the DSU Value on the redemption date. Beneficiaries may not sell, transfer or otherwise assign their DSU or any rights associated therewith other than by will or in accordance with legislation regarding the vesting and partition of successions.

The DSU are totally vested at the grant date. In the case of the DSU granted to officers for annual bonuses, a DSU liability is recorded at the grant date in place of the liability for the bonuses payments. In the case of the directors, the expense related to DSU and their liabilities are recognized at the grant date. During the six-month period ended May 31, 2012, $293 (2011 – $494) was recorded as an expense and is included in general and administrative expenses. At the beginning of the year, amounts due to officers totalling nil (2011 – $300) were settled with the issuance of DSU. The liability related to the DSU is adjusted periodically to reflect any change in market value of common shares. During the six-month period ended May 31, 2012, a gain of $219 (2011 – $132) was recognized due to the change in the fair value of DSU. This gain is included in gain (loss) on financial instruments carried at fair value. As at May 31, 2012, the Company has a total of 265,522 DSU outstanding (November 30, 2011 – 143,655) and a liability related to the DSU of $404 (November 30, 2011 – $330).

8. Share capital (continued):

 

  (a) Deferred stock unit plan (continued):

To protect against fluctuations in the value of the DSU, the Company entered into two cash settled forward stock contracts in 2011. The Company paid $837 as advance payments on the contracts. This amount corresponds to 146,875 common shares of the Company at a weighted average price of $5.70. The contracts initially expired in December 2011. On December 2, 2011, the two cash settled forward stock contracts have been amended to expire in November 2012. They were not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The Company entered into two other cash settled forward stock contracts in 2012. The Company paid $290 as advance payment on the stock contracts. This amount corresponds to 118,647 common shares of the Company at a weighted average price of $2.44. Changes in fair value of these contracts are, therefore, included in gain (loss) on financial instruments carried at fair value in the period in which they occur. In connection with these forward stock contracts, the Company invested $1,127 in term deposits, as advance payments, with the same counterparty, such term deposits maturing at the same time as the cash settled forward stock contracts. During the six-month period ended May 31, 2012, a loss of $219 (2011 – $156) related to the change in the fair value of derivative financial assets was recognized. As at May 31, 2012, the fair value of cash settled forward stock contracts was $418 (November 30, 2011 – $347) and is recorded in derivative financial assets.

 

  (b) Stock option plan:

The Company has established a stock option plan under which it can grant to its directors, officers, employees, researchers and consultants non-transferable options for the purchase of common shares. The exercise date of an option may not be later than 10 years after the grant date. A maximum number of 5,000,000 options can be granted under the plan. Generally, the options vest at the date of the grant or over a period of up to five years. As at May 31, 2012, 1,341,513 options could still be granted by the Company (2011 – 837,172).

All options are to be settled by physical delivery of shares.

8. Share capital (continued):

 

  (b) Stock option plan (continued):

The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a Canadian Government zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The volatility is based solely on historical volatility equal to the expected life of the option. The life of the options is estimated considering the vesting period at the grant date, the life of the option and the average length of time of similar grants have remained outstanding in the past. The dividend yield was excluded from the calculation, since it is the present policy of the Company to retain in all earnings to finance operations and future growth.

The following table summarizes the measurement date weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the periods ended May 31, 2012 and 2011:

The Black-Scholes model used by the Company to calculate option values was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differs from the Company’s stock option awards. This model also requires four highly subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and average option life, which greatly affect the calculated values.

  (c) Earnings per share:

The calculation of basic earnings per share for the period of six months ended May 31, 2012 was based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company of $8,901 (2011 – $11,873), and a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 60,956,700 (2011 – 60,617,230). The weighted average number of common shares is calculated as follows:

At May 31, 2012, 1,998,628 options (2011 – 2,671,471) were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. All options outstanding at May 31, 2012 could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

The onerous lease provision includes a provision for the future lease costs of the vacant portion of the premises, net of estimated of sublease rentals that could reasonably be obtained. The provision is being accreted to its face value through a charge to finance costs in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The provision is based on management’s best estimates of sublease rates that have yet to be negotiated, the timing of a sublease transaction, discount rates and other factors.

 

10. Contingent liability:

On July 26, 2010, the Company received a motion of authorization to institute a class action lawsuit against the Company, a director and a former executive officer (the “Motion”). The Motion was filed in the Superior Court of Québec, district of Montréal (the “Court”). The applicant is seeking to initiate a class action suit to represent the class of persons who were shareholders at May 21, 2010 and who sold their common shares of the Company on May 25 or 26, 2010. The applicant alleges that the Company did not comply with its continuous disclosure obligations as a reporting issuer by failing to disclose certain alleged adverse effects relating to the administration of EGRIFTATM.

10. Contingent liability (continued):

On February 24, 2012, the Court certified the Motion. Despite the granting of such motion, the Company is of the view that the allegations against it are entirely without merit and will take all appropriate actions to vigorously defend its position. The Company is seeking leave to appeal this decision. The hearing date regarding leave to appeal, which was originally scheduled for June 5, 2012 and has since been postponed, has yet to be re-established.

The Company has subscribed to insurance covering its potential liability and the potential liability of its directors and officers in the performance of their duties for the Company subject to a $200 deductible.

 

11. Commitments:

This disclosure is to update the note 24 of the Audited annual financial statements of 2011.

 

  (a) Post-approval commitments:

In connection with its approval of EGRIFTATM, the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has required the following three post-approval commitments:

 

  -

a single vial formulation of EGRIFTATM (the development of a new presentation of the same formulation);

 

  -

a long-term observational safety study using EGRIFTATM; and

 

  -

a Phase 4 clinical trial using EGRIFTATM.

The Company has developed a new presentation of EGRIFTATM which complies with the first of the FDA’s post-approval requirements. It is required to be available by November 2013.

The long-term observational safety study is to evaluate the safety of long-term administration of EGRIFTATM and the protocol for this study, which has been submitted to the FDA by EMD Serono, has yet to be finalized. The Company has agreed to share the cost of this study equally with EMD Serono. The Company estimates that its share of the cost could amount to an average of $1,300 per year, over a fifteen-year period.

The Phase 4 clinical trial is to assess whether EGRIFTATM has an impact on diabetic retinopathy in diabetic HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy and excess abdominal fat. EMD Serono is responsible for executing the trial and is to be reimbursed by the Company for the direct costs involved. The FDA-approved protocol for the trial calls for patients to inject themselves daily with either EGRIFTATM or placebo over a three-year treatment period. While the Company is committed to supporting the trial, management believes that the protocol conditions will be difficult to meet. The Company estimates that, if completed, the trial could cost approximately $20,000 over a four- to five-year period.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

FOR THE THREE-MONTH AND SIX-MONTH PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 2012

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis, or MD&A, provides Management’s point of view on the financial position and the results of operations of Theratechnologies Inc., on a consolidated basis, for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012, as compared to the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2011. This MD&A is dated July 11, 2012, was approved by our Audit Committee, and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as at May 31, 2012, as well as the MD&A and audited consolidated financial statements including the notes thereto as at November 30, 2011.

The financial information contained in this MD&A and in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and audited consolidated financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB.

Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, in this MD&A, all references to “Theratechnologies”, the “Company”, the “Corporation”, “we”, “us”, “our” or similar terms refer to Theratechnologies Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The use of EGRIFTATM refers to tesamorelin for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy regardless of the trade name used for such product in any particular territory. EGRIFTATM is the trade name used in the United States for tesamorelin for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. EGRIFTATM is our trademark.

This MD&A contains information that we believe may affect our prospective financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Readers are cautioned to consult the section, “Forward-Looking Information”, below.

Business Overview

Theratechnologies (TSX: TH) (NASDAQ: THER) is a specialty pharmaceutical company that discovers and develops innovative therapeutic peptide products, with an emphasis on growth-hormone releasing factor peptides.

Commercial and Regulatory Activities

Our first product, EGRIFTATM (tesamorelin for injection), was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in November 2010 and is, to date, the only approved therapy for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. EGRIFTATM is currently being marketed in the United States by EMD Serono, Inc., or EMD Serono, pursuant to a collaboration and licensing agreement executed in October 2008.

EMD Serono began selling EGRIFTATM in the United States in January 2011 and we receive royalties on their sales, which are paid quarterly in arrears based on the calendar year. Royalties received from EMD Serono in the first six months of fiscal 2011 and 2012 amounted to $194,000 and $1,562,000 respectively. According to IMS, a third-party supplier of sales information to the pharmaceutical industry, prescriptions in the April to June 2012 selling period were up significantly over the prior quarter. Royalties on these sales will be reported in our third quarter financial statements.

In December 2010, we granted an affiliate of sanofi-aventis, or Sanofi, exclusive commercialization rights to tesamorelin for the treatment of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. Subsequent to this agreement, requests for regulatory approval were filed in Israel, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela. In June 2012, we were informed by Sanofi that the National Health Surveillance Agency, or ANVISA, in Brazil has audited and identified technical deficiencies with the Montreal-based third-party manufacturing site for tesamorelin. The manufacturer has indicated that it is in a position to implement ANVISA’s recommendations with regards to these deficiencies. However, this development may delay Brazil’s regulatory decision.

In February 2011, we granted Ferrer Internacional S.A., or Ferrer, exclusive commercialization rights to tesamorelin for the treatment of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy in Europe, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and certain central Asian countries.

In June 2012, Ferrer withdrew its Marketing Authorization Application, or MAA, with the European Medicines Agency, or EMA, for tesamorelin in the treatment of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. Ferrer’s decision to withdraw followed an oral explanation with the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP). As higher IGF-1 (Insulin-like growth factor 1) levels were identified as a potential safety concern for long-term use of tesamorelin, the CHMP indicated that the lack of data on cardiovascular risk markers did not allow the committee to conclude on a positive benefit/risk balance.

Our New Drug Submission, or NDS, for tesamorelin for the treatment of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy was filed in June 2011 with Health Canada. In February 2012, we granted Actelion Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc., or Actelion, exclusive commercialization rights to tesamorelin for the treatment of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy in Canada. Under the terms of the Agreement, we are responsible for the manufacture and supply of tesamorelin to Actelion and Actelion is responsible for conducting all regulatory and commercialization activities.

In June 2012, Health Canada issued a notice of non-compliance in relation to the NDS containing questions regarding the long-term safety of tesamorelin, the appropriate patient population and the proposed indication. We have been granted 90 days to respond to the questions. We now expect to receive Health Canada’s final decision regarding the NDS during the first half of 2013.

Research and Development (R&D) Activities

TH1173

In October 2011, we announced the discovery of a new GRF peptide, known as TH1173, which may prove to be suitable for the treatment of a broader range of medical indications than tesamorelin. We are also testing alternative, more patient-friendly methods of administration such as nasal, transdermal and subcutaneous. We conducted pre-clinical feasibility studies to explore TH1173’s potential using new modes of administration in the first quarter and these studies are ongoing. In May 2012, we initiated a preclinical safety program for TH1173, with a view to beginning clinical testing by early 2013.

EGRIFTATM

In the six-month period ended May 31, 2012, our R&D activities also included work on post-approval commitments made to the FDA in relation to the marketing approval granted to EGRIFTATM. These included the development of a single-vial formulation of EGRIFTATM and preparations with respect to a Phase 4 clinical trial to assess whether EGRIFTATM has an impact on diabetic retinopathy in diabetic HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy and excess abdominal fat.

Other Events

On February 24, 2012, the Superior Court of Quebec certified the class action suit against Theratechnologies, a director, and a former executive officer, alleging that the Company did not comply with its continuous disclosure obligations. We are of the view that the allegations against us are entirely without merit and we will take all appropriate actions to vigorously defend its position. We are seeking leave to appeal this decision. The hearing date regarding leave to appeal, which was scheduled for June 5, 2012 and was subsequently postponed, has yet to be re-established.

Revenues

Our revenues are mainly sales of EGRIFTATM to EMD Serono for re-sale, royalties received from EMD Serono on U.S. sales to customers, and the amortization of the initial payment received upon the closing of the agreement with EMD Serono.

Revenues generated from sale of goods amounted to $856,000 in the three-month period ended May 31, 2012 and $2,135,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $2,005,000 and $3,803,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. The higher sales in the prior-year reflect the build-up of stocks needed by EMD Serono for the EGRIFTATM launch in the U.S. market. Revenues from sale of goods are now more closely tied to sales to patients but they can also vary significantly as a function of EMD Serono’s procurement policies.

Royalties, which are almost entirely derived from the sales of EGRIFTATM, are up significantly over the comparable periods in 2011 when the product launch was in its early stages. Royalties are paid quarterly in arrears based on the calendar year. In the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012, we received royalty revenue from EMD Serono of $726,000 and $1,562,000 respectively in relation to the three-month selling period from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2012 and the six-month selling period from October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012, compared to $190,000 and $194,000 for the comparable periods in 2011.

Our revenues also include the amortization of the initial payment of $27,097,000 received upon the closing of the agreement with EMD Serono. For the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012, amounts of $1,069,000 and $2,139,000 were recognized as revenue related to this transaction, compared to $1,284,000 and $2,995,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. The decrease in the amortization amount for the current year reflects a change in the service period attributed to the initial payment. The initial payment will be fully amortized by year end 2013.

Reflecting the variations in product sales, royalties and amortization of the initial payment described above, consolidated revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 amounted to $2,656,000 and $5,846,000 compared to $3,483,000 and $7,001,000 in the comparable periods of 2011.

Cost of Sales

For the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012, the cost of sales of EGRIFTATM amounted to $692,000 and $2,029,000 compared to $2,562,000 and $5,157,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. Sale of goods revenue exceeded cost of sales for the first time since EGRIFTATM was launched in the first quarter of 2011. Prior to the latest three-month period, the cost of sales exceeded revenue due to an accounting requirement that we expense certain historical inventory costs as well as the current costs related to validating back-up suppliers for raw materials and finished goods. The old inventory is now essentially depleted; however, quarter-over-quarter variations in gross margins will continue to be experienced due to the costs associated with validating additional suppliers. Cost of sales is detailed in note 4 “cost of sales” of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 and May 31, 2011.

R&D Activities

Research and development, or R&D, expenses, net of tax credits, for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 amounted to $1,410,000 and $2,723,000 compared to $3,072,000 and $6,065,000 in the comparable periods of 2011, decreases of 54% and 55% respectively. The significant reduction in R&D expenses is largely attributable to restructuring and the adoption of a more focused business plan. R&D expenses in the six months ended May 31, 2012 were associated with helping our commercial partners to pursue regulatory approvals in their respective jurisdictions, the Phase 4 clinical trial, pursuing the development of TH1173 and the new formulation of EGRIFTATM.

Selling and Market Development Expenses

Selling and market development expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 amounted to $256,000 and $517,000 compared to $569,000 and $1,046,000 in the comparable periods of 2011, decreases of 55% and 50% respectively. With licensing agreements now in place in major markets, the ongoing selling and market development expenses are reduced to the costs of managing our relationships with our commercial partners.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 amounted to $1,795,000 and $3,838,000 compared to $3,695,000 and $6,910,000 in the comparable periods of 2011, decreases of 51% and 44% respectively. The expenses in the 2012 periods were considerably lower as a result of the restructuring. In addition, the expenses in 2011 included the cost of the proposed financing, costs related to the change in leadership of the Company, many of which were entirely expensed in the first three months of the 2011 fiscal year, as well as all of the annual compensation paid to the directors in deferred stock units, which was also expensed in the first three months of 2011. In 2012, deferred stock units granted as compensation to our directors are being expensed on a quarterly basis.

Restructuring Costs

In December 2011, we restructured the business to concentrate the Company’s efforts on EGRIFTATM and on developing TH1173, giving rise to restructuring costs of $6,058,000 in the three months ended February 29, 2012. An additional $115,000 of restructuring costs was incurred in the three months ended May 31, 2012. The largest restructuring cost is an onerous lease provision of $4,055,000, which is based on the Company now occupying approximately fifty percent of its leased premises. Other restructuring costs include employee termination benefits of $1,249,000, costs associated with terminating the COPD clinical program of $1,072,000 and professional fees of $278,000.

Net Finance Income

Finance income for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 was $241,000 and $518,000 compared to $455,000 and $827,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. Interest revenues in 2012 were lower than 2011 due to the gradual decline in the portfolio size as investments are liquidated to fund operations.

Finance costs for the three months ended May 31, 2012 were $51,000. In the six months ended May 31, 2012 there was a gain of $16,000 due to positive foreign exchange fluctuations. In the comparable periods of 2011, finance costs were $12,000 and $589,000. Finance costs for the first three months of 2011 include a foreign exchange loss of $550,000 incurred upon receipt of a US$25,000,000 milestone payment from EMD Serono. The milestone payment had originally been converted into the functional currency of the Company at the more favorable exchange rate in effect at the November 30, 2010 fiscal year end for an exchange gain of $635,000 at that time.

Net Results

Taking into account the revenues and expenses described above, we recorded a net loss of $1,417,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2012 compared to $5,941,000 in the comparable period of 2011. For the six-month period ended May 31, 2012 the net loss was $8,901,000 (including $6,173,000 of restructuring costs) compared to $11,873,000 in the comparable period of 2011. On a per share basis, the net loss for three months ended May 31, 2012 was $0.02 compared to $0.10 in the comparable period of 2011. Net loss per share for the six months ended May 31, 2012 was $0.15 (including the per share impact of the restructuring costs) compared to $0.20 in the comparable period of 2011.

Financial Position

At May 31, 2012, liquidities, which include cash and bonds, amounted to $24,000,000 and tax credits and grants receivable amounted to $517,000, for a total of $24,517,000.

Use of cash from operating activities for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 was $4,440,000 and $12,369,000 compared to $7,957,000 and $15,721,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. The current-year amounts include the cash impact of the December restructuring.

For the three months ended May 31, 2012, cash used in operating activities, before changes in operating assets and liabilities amounted to $1,245,000, and change in deferred revenue amounted to $1,072,000 for a total of $2,317,000.

Quarterly sale of goods amounts vary in accordance with the inventory management policies of EMD Serono.

Royalty revenues tend to track patient prescriptions, with some variations due to provision policies of EMD Serono and inventory fluctuations in the supply chain.

The net losses in the first and second quarters of 2012 include the December 2011 restructuring costs of $6,058,000 and $115,000 respectively.

The higher revenue in the fourth quarter of 2010 is related to the receipt from EMD Serono of a milestone payment of $25,000,000 following marketing approval of EGRIFTATM by the FDA.

Upcoming changes in accounting standards:

 

(a) Amendments to existing standards:

Annual improvements to IFRS:

The IASB’s improvements to IFRS contain seven amendments that result in accounting changes for presentation, recognition or measurement purposes. The most significant features of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2010 which are applicable for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2011 with partial adoption permitted are included under the specific revisions to standards discussed below.

 

  (i) IFRS 7:

Amendment to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures:

Multiple clarifications related to the disclosure of financial instruments and in particular in regards to transfers of financial assets.

Outstanding Share Data

On July 10, 2012, the number of shares issued and outstanding was 61,010,603 while outstanding options granted under the stock option plan were 1,998,628.

Contractual Obligations

In connection with its approval of EGRIFTATM, the FDA has required the following three post-approval commitments:

 

  -

a single vial formulation of EGRIFTATM (the development of a new presentation of the same formulation);

 

  -

a long-term observational safety study using EGRIFTATM, and

 

  -

a Phase 4 clinical trial using EGRIFTATM.

The Company has developed a new presentation of EGRIFTATM which complies with the first of the FDA’s post-approval requirements. It is required to be available by November 2013.

The long-term observational safety study is to evaluate the safety of long-term administration of EGRIFTATM and the protocol for this study, which has been submitted to the FDA by EMD Serono, has yet to be finalized. We have agreed to share the cost of this study equally with EMD Serono. We estimate that our share of the cost could amount to an average of $1,300,000 per year, over a fifteen-year period.

The Phase 4 clinical trial is to assess whether EGRIFTATM has an impact on diabetic retinopathy in diabetic HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy and excess abdominal fat. EMD Serono is responsible for executing the trial and is to be reimbursed by the Company for the direct costs involved. The FDA-approved protocol for the trial calls for patients to inject themselves daily with either EGRIFTATM or placebo over a three-year treatment period. While the Company is committed to supporting the trial, management believes that the protocol conditions will be difficult to meet. We estimate that the trial, if completed, could cost approximately $20,000,000 over a four- to five-year period.

The Company has entered into long-term procurement agreements with third-party suppliers in connection with the commercialization of EGRIFTATM. As at May 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding purchase orders under these agreements amounting to $2,124,000 for the manufacture of EGRIFTATM to be delivered in fiscal years 2012 and 2013.

There were no other material changes in contractual obligations during the three months ended May 31, 2012, other than in the ordinary course of business.

Economic and Industry Factors

Economic and industry factors were substantially unchanged from those reported in our 2011 MD&A.

This forward-looking information includes, but is not limited to, information regarding the potential regulatory approval of tesamorelin for the treatment of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy in various territories outside of the United States, the timing regarding the obtaining of decisions from various regulatory authorities relating to the pending marketing applications for tesamorelin in various jurisdictions outside of the United States and regarding clinical testing of TH1173 and the development of TH1173 suitable for the treatment of a broad range of medical indications.

Forward-looking information is based upon a number of assumptions and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by such forward-looking information. These assumptions made in preparing the forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, the assumption that tesamorelin for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy will receive approvals in the territories where we have marketing applications for tesamorelin pending, the withdrawal of the MAA with the EMA will have no consequence on the decisions of other regulatory authorities regarding the pending marketing authorizations and the decisions of our commercial partners to pursue the approval of tesamorelin for the treatment of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy in various jurisdictions, the safety and efficacy data gathered through the development of tesamorelin will be accepted by the regulatory authorities where marketing applications for tesamorelin are pending, no additional clinical studies will be required by regulatory authorities to obtain regulatory approval of tesamorelin, if approved, EGRIFTATM will be accepted by the marketplace and will be on the list of reimbursed drugs by third-party payers in the jurisdictions where approval will be obtained, our relations with our commercial partners and our third-party suppliers of EGRIFTATM will be conflict-free and such third-party suppliers will have enough capacity to manufacture and supply EGRIFTATM to meet its demand and will manufacture on a timely-basis, the Montreal-based manufacturer of tesamorelin will be able to implement successfully ANVISA’s recommendations, the results from the ongoing studies with TH1173 will be positive and we will have the financial capacity to develop TH1173 within the timeline described herein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk that tesamorelin is not approved in the jurisdictions where marketing applications are pending, the risk that, even if approved, revenue and royalties we expect to generate from sales of EGRIFTATM are not high enough to sustain our business, the risk that conflicts occur with our commercial partners jeopardizing the commercialization of EGRIFTATM, the risk that ANVISA’s recommendations are not implemented successfully, the risk that the supply of EGRIFTATM to our commercial partners is delayed or suspended as a result of problems with our suppliers, the risk that EGRIFTATM is withdrawn from the market as a result of defects or recalls, the risk that our intellectual property is not adequately protected, the risk that delays occur in obtaining the final decisions of regulatory authorities in certain jurisdictions, the risk that the ongoing development work on TH1173 is delayed or do not yield positive results causing us to halt the development of TH1173 and the risk that we do not have the financial capacity to pursue the development of TH1173.

Theratechnologies Announces Financial Results for Second Quarter of 2012

Montreal, Canada – July 12, 2012 – Theratechnologies Inc. (Theratechnologies) (TSX: TH) (NASDAQ: THER) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended May 31, 2012.

Second Quarter 2012 Highlights

 

   

U.S. prescriptions for EGRIFTATM trending up

   

Positive effect of restructuring: net loss of $1.4 million compared to $5.9 million in Q2 2011

   

Launch of TH1173 preclinical safety program

   

Regulatory setback in Europe

   

$24.5 million in liquidities at quarter-end

“Revenues this quarter continue to reflect the positive trend in U.S. prescriptions for EGRIFTATM which we have been witnessing since the beginning of the year. On the regulatory front, we faced a major setback in Europe with the withdrawal of our regulatory application and we are exploring the alternatives available with our partner Ferrer,” said John-Michel T. Huss, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“In the second quarter, we can clearly see the benefits of our December 2011 restructuring with our net loss down 76% compared to the second quarter of 2011. With a burn rate of $2.3 million this quarter, we are on track to end the year with over $20 million in cash on hand,” added Luc Tanguay, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Second Quarter Financial Results

The financial results presented in this press release are taken from the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis, or MD&A, and unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended May 31, 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB. The MD&A and unaudited consolidated financial statements can be found at www.theratech.com, www.sedar.com or www.sec.gov. Unless specified otherwise, all amounts in this press release are in Canadian dollars. As used herein, EGRIFTATM refers to tesamorelin for the reduction of excess abdominal fat in HIV-infected patients with lipodystrophy. EGRIFTATM is our trademark.

Our revenues are mainly sales of EGRIFTATM to EMD Serono for re-sale, royalties received from EMD Serono on U.S. sales to customers, and the amortization of the initial payment received upon the closing of the agreement with EMD Serono.

Revenues generated from sale of goods amounted to $856,000 in the three-month period ended May 31, 2012 and $2,135,000 in the six months ended May 31, 2012, compared to $2,005,000 and $3,803,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. The higher sales in the prior-year reflect the build-up of stocks needed by EMD Serono for the EGRIFTATM launch in the U.S. market. Revenues from sale of goods are now more closely tied to sales to patients but they can also vary significantly as a function of EMD Serono’s procurement policies.


Royalties, which are almost entirely derived from the sales of EGRIFTATM, are up significantly over the comparable periods in 2011 when the product launch was in its early stages. Royalties are paid quarterly in arrears based on the calendar year. In the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012, we received royalty revenue from EMD Serono of $726,000 and $1,562,000 respectively in relation to the three-month selling period from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2012 and the six-month selling period from October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012, compared to $190,000 and $194,000 for the comparable periods in 2011.

Our revenues also include the amortization of the initial payment of $27,097,000 received upon the closing of the agreement with EMD Serono. For the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012, amounts of $1,069,000 and $2,139,000 were recognized as revenue related to this transaction, compared to $1,284,000 and $2,995,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. The decrease in the amortization amount for the current year reflects a change in the service period attributed to the initial payment. The initial payment will be fully amortized by year end 2013.

Reflecting the variations in product sales, royalties and amortization of the initial payment described above, consolidated revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 amounted to $2,656,000 and $5,846,000 compared to $3,483,000 and $7,001,000 in the comparable periods of 2011.

For the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012, the cost of sales of EGRIFTATM amounted to $692,000 and $2,029,000 compared to $2,562,000 and $5,157,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. Sale of goods revenue exceeded cost of sales for the first time since EGRIFTATM was launched in the first quarter of 2011. Prior to the latest three-month period, the cost of sales exceeded revenue due to an accounting requirement that we expense certain historical inventory costs as well as the current costs related to validating back-up suppliers for raw materials and finished goods. The old inventory is now essentially depleted; however, quarter-over-quarter variations in gross margins will continue to be experienced due to the costs associated with validating additional suppliers. Cost of sales is detailed in note 4 “cost of sales” of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 and May 31, 2011.

Research and development, or R&D, expenses, net of tax credits, for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 amounted to $1,410,000 and $2,723,000 compared to $3,072,000 and $6,065,000 in the comparable periods of 2011, decreases of 54% and 55% respectively. The significant reduction in R&D expenses is largely attributable to restructuring and the adoption of a more focused business plan. R&D expenses in the six months ended May 31, 2012 were associated with helping our commercial partners to pursue regulatory approvals in their respective jurisdictions, the Phase 4 clinical trial, pursuing the development of TH1173 and the new formulation of EGRIFTATM.

Selling and market development expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 amounted to $256,000 and $517,000 compared to $569,000 and $1,046,000 in the comparable periods of 2011, decreases of 55% and 50% respectively. With licensing agreements now in place in major markets, the ongoing selling and market development expenses are reduced to the costs of managing our relationships with our commercial partners.

General and administrative expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 amounted to $1,795,000 and $3,838,000 compared to $3,695,000 and $6,910,000 in the comparable periods of 2011, decreases of 51% and 44% respectively. The expenses in the 2012 periods were considerably lower as a result of the restructuring. In addition, the expenses in 2011 included the cost of the proposed financing, costs related to the change in leadership of the Company, many of which were entirely expensed in the first three months of the 2011 fiscal year, as well as all of the annual compensation paid to the directors in deferred stock units, which was also expensed in the first three months of 2011. In 2012, deferred stock units granted as compensation to our directors are being expensed on a quarterly basis.

In December 2011, we restructured the business to concentrate the Company’s efforts on EGRIFTATM and on developing TH1173, giving rise to restructuring costs of $6,058,000 in the three months ended February 29, 2012. An additional $115,000 of restructuring costs was incurred in the three months ended May 31, 2012. The largest restructuring cost is an onerous lease provision of $4,055,000, which is based on the Company now occupying approximately fifty percent of its leased premises. Other restructuring costs include employee termination benefits of $1,249,000, costs associated with terminating the COPD clinical program of $1,072,000 and professional fees of $278,000.

Finance income for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 was $241,000 and $518,000 compared to $455,000 and $827,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. Interest revenues in 2012 were lower than 2011 due to the gradual decline in the portfolio size as investments are liquidated to fund operations.

Finance costs for the three months ended May 31, 2012 were $51,000. In the six months ended May 31, 2012 there was a gain of $16,000 due to positive foreign exchange fluctuations. In the comparable periods of 2011, finance costs were $12,000 and $589,000. Finance costs for the first three months of 2011 include a foreign exchange loss of $550,000 incurred upon receipt of a US$25,000,000 milestone payment from EMD Serono. The milestone payment had originally been converted into the functional currency of the Company at the more favorable exchange rate in effect at the November 30, 2010 fiscal year end for an exchange gain of $635,000 at that time.

Taking into account the revenues and expenses described above, we recorded a net loss of $1,417,000 in the three months ended May 31, 2012 compared to $5,941,000 in the comparable period of 2011. For the six-month period ended May 31, 2012 the net loss was $8,901,000 (including $6,173,000 of restructuring costs) compared to $11,873,000 in the comparable period of 2011. On a per share basis, the net loss for three months ended May 31, 2012 was $0.02 compared to $0.10 in the comparable period of 2011. Net loss per share for the six months ended May 31, 2012 was $0.15 (including the per share impact of the restructuring costs) compared to $0.20 in the comparable period of 2011.

At May, 31, 2012, liquidities, which include cash and bonds, amounted to $24,000,000 and tax credits and grants receivable amounted to $517,000, for a total of $24,517,000.

Use of cash from operating activities for the three- and six-month periods ended May 31, 2012 was $4,440,000 and $12,369,000 compared to $7,957,000 and $15,721,000 in the comparable periods of 2011. The current-year amounts include the cash impact of the December restructuring.

For the three months ended May 31, 2012, cash used in operating activities, before changes in operating assets and liabilities amounted to $1,245,000, and change in deferred revenue amounted to $1,072,000 for a total of $2,317,000.
