Sucampo to Begin Co-promotion of AMITIZA for Opioid-Induced Constipation;
Revises RESCULA Commercial Strategy

Company to Host Conference Call Today at 5:00 pm Eastern

Highlights

  • Sucampo and partner Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A. Inc (Takeda) agree to increase promotional effort for AMITIZA for non-cancer opioid-induced constipation (OIC)
  • RESCULA® (unoprostone isopropyl) promotional costs will be reduced by approximately 75% versus current spend

BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Sucampo") (Nasdaq:SCMP), a global biopharmaceutical company with products available in the United States (U.S.), Japan and Europe, today reported its consolidated financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Sucampo raised its full year 2013 earnings guidance to $3.0 to $5.0 million net income, excluding special items, versus previous guidance of break-even. During the third quarter of 2013, Sucampo recorded a non-cash write-off of its RESCULA inventory and samples of $4.5 million to reflect excess quantities of dated product. Details of the write-off are discussed in the Cost of Goods Sold and Operating Expenses sections below.

1. Sucampo is providing certain 2013 non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing this information enhances investors' understanding of Sucampo's performance. This information should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

2. Net income is attributable to Sucampo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on a consolidated basis.

Sucampo also announced that it is exercising the co-promotion option in its commercialization agreement with Takeda and will begin co-promoting AMITIZA for OIC in adults with chronic, non-cancer pain in the first quarter of next year. Sucampo's AMITIZA co-promotion will provide incremental selling resources in addition to Takeda's current selling efforts, and Takeda will reimburse Sucampo based on details to healthcare prescribers. In addition, Sucampo announced changes to its RESCULA commercialization strategy to improve RESCULA profitability by significantly decreasing sales and marketing expenses. Sucampo will continue, but significantly decrease the amount of, in-person sales calls for RESCULA, and will use a contract sales force to focus its detailing on current prescribers. Sucampo will also use a limited mix of inside sales and other promotional tactics, including digital, to reach the current non-prescriber base in an effort to increase prescribers and sales.

"Sucampo revenue grew approximately 40% year-over-year for the first nine months of 2013, driven by continued growth of AMITIZA in recently launched markets, as well as the new OIC indication which yielded us a $10 million milestone from our US partner. Specifically in the US, the 3.5% year-to-date net sales increase for AMITIZA in the U.S. demonstrates that the constipation drug market continues to expand," said Ryuji Ueno, M.D., Ph.D., Ph.D., Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Scientific Officer of Sucampo. "More than 200 million prescriptions for opioids are written in the U.S. annually, with a significant portion of them for non-cancer pain. We believe that the OIC indication, for which AMITIZA is the only oral treatment approved, will be a significant driver of future AMITIZA growth. We also made progress this quarter in our globalization efforts for AMITIZA. This year thus far, we have added $10 million in incremental revenue to our topline through Japan sales of AMITIZA, and we are seeing increasing sales from the product in Switzerland. In addition, we progressed our late-stage pipeline assets in the quarter with the initiation of our pivotal liquid formulation study of lubiprostone in adults with chronic idiopathic constipation. Finally, we announced the completion of patient enrollment by our development partner R-Tech Ueno Ltd. in a phase 3 trial of unoprostone isopropyl in retinitis pigmentosa."

Stan Miele, President, Sucampo Pharma Americas, LLC and Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Sucampo, added, "Sucampo is investing incremental selling resources in OIC to accelerate the growth of AMITIZA. AMITIZA continues to grow in the U.S., particularly in new OIC targets, and we believe that Sucampo can fuel additional growth by investing in reaching even more OIC targets. At the same time, while we believe in the value of RESCULA for patients suffering from glaucoma and ocular hypertension, we are making changes to our RESCULA commercialization strategy to better balance investment and revenue."

Financial Results for the Quarter

For the third quarter of 2013, Sucampo reported total revenue of $21.2 million compared to $15.5 million for the same period in 2012, a growth of approximately 36.6%. The key components of revenue for the 2013 third quarter included R&D revenue of $2.0 million, product royalty revenue of $13.6 million, product sales revenue of $5.4 million and co-promotion revenue of nil, which compare to $0.7 million, $13.9 million, nil and $0.7 million, respectively, in the same period of 2012.

For the first nine months of 2013, Sucampo reported total revenue of $65.1 million compared to $46.6 million for the same period in 2012, a growth of approximately 39.6%. The key components of revenue for the 2013 nine months period included R&D revenue of $16.3 million, product royalty revenue of $37.3 million, product sales revenue of $11.0 million, and co-promotion revenue of $0.1 million, which compare to $6.4 million, $36.5 million, nil and $3.3 million, respectively, in the same period of 2012.

U.S. net sales of AMITIZA, as reported to us by our partner, Takeda, for royalty calculation purposes increased 1.4% to $72.5 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $71.5 million in the same period of 2012. U.S. net sales of AMITIZA, as reported to us by our partner, Takeda, for royalty calculation purposes, increased 3.5% to $204.1 million for the nine months of 2013, compared to $197.2 million in the same period of 2012.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold relates to purchase and distribution costs of the Company's products sold by the Company, including changes in inventory provisions for excess and obsolete inventory. Cost of goods sold were $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to nil for the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $6.3 million. Cost of goods sold were $9.5 million for the nine months of 2013, compared to nil for the prior year period, an increase of $9.5 million. The increase in cost of goods sold relates to drug product sales of AMITIZA in Japan and Switzerland and RESCULA in the U.S. During the third quarter of 2013, Sucampo recorded a non-cash write-off of its RESCULA inventory of $3.0 million to reflect excess quantities of dated product. The excess inventory was largely a result of the necessity to pre-order product in advance of FDA approval due to a planned change in manufacturing facility and lower than anticipated sales within the useful life of the dated product.

Operating Expenses

R&D expenses, comprised of expenses for clinical development of the lubiprostone pediatric indication and liquid formulation, phase 1 trial expenses for oral mucositis, and clinical development expenses for our lumbar spinal stenosis program, were $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $5.6 million for the same period of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the lower costs associated with our unoprostone isopropyl development program and a lower provision associated with our Numab collaboration. For the first nine months of 2013, R&D expenses were $14.5 million, compared to $14.2 million for the prior year period. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the higher costs associated with clinical development of our phase 2a trial for lumbar spinal stenosis and higher indirect costs including regulatory fees, partially offset by lower costs on our unoprostone isopropyl development program.

G&A expenses were $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of $1.8 million or 25.0%. G&A expenses were $18.6 million for the nine months of 2013, compared to $22.6 million for the prior year period, a decrease of $4.0 million or 17.5%. For both periods, the decrease in G&A expense was primarily due to lower legal, consulting and other professional expenses as a result of the conclusion of certain legal matters in 2012, as well as expense reductions from 2013 productivity initiatives. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.3 million and $1.9 million increase in pharmacovigilance costs associated with the launch of AMITIZA in Japan for the third quarter and nine month period, respectively. Excluding the impact of pharmacovigilance costs, G&A expenses decreased 29.2% in the third quarter and 26.1% during the first nine months of 2013.

Selling and marketing expenses were $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2012.Selling and marketing expenses were $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $14.5 million for the prior year period.For both periods, the increase in selling and marketing expenses relates primarily to launch costs for RESCULA and a $1.5 million non-cash write-offrecorded for excess RESCULA samples, partially offset by non-recurring pre-commercialization planning activities for AMITIZA and RESCULA that occurred in 2012 that did not occur in 2013.

Income (Loss) from Operations

Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.0 million, compared to a loss of $1.7 million for the same period in 2012. Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $6.5 million, compared to a loss of $4.6 million for the prior year period.

Non-operating income was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to expense of $0.9 million for the same period in 2012. Non-operating expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, included a foreign exchange gain of $1.8 million, compared to a foreign exchange gain of $0.7 million for the same period in 2012.

Earnings Excluding Special Items

Non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013 of $0.09 and $0.16, respectively, exclude RESCULA inventory and sample non-cash write-off costs.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Marketable Securities

At September 30, 2013, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments were $91.0 million, compared to $91.4 million at December 31, 2012. At September 30, 2013, notes payable were $57.9 million, compared to $52.9 million at December 31, 2012, including current notes payable of $28.1 million at September 30, 2013, and $19.1 million at December 31, 2012.

Stock Repurchase Plan

In September 2011, the Board of Directors (Board) authorized the repurchase of our class A common stock under the previously approved repurchase plan, up to an aggregate of $2.0 million. On November 2, 2012, the Board authorized the increase of the program amount up to an aggregate of $5.0 million. During the nine months of 2013, Sucampo repurchased 67,762 shares at a cost of $0.3 million. Since inception, we have repurchased approximately $2.3 million of our common stock. We believe that the cumulative repurchases through the first nine months of this year mitigate any dilutive effects of employee and others' exercises of stock options during the same period. The repurchase program may be used in the future to continue to address any such dilutive effects.

Future Guidance

Sucampo today increased its earnings guidance for 2013 and reaffirmed its guidance for 2014. Sucampo now expects full year 2013 net income, excluding special items, to be in the range of $3.0 million to $5.0 million, or $0.07 to $0.12 per diluted share, versus previous guidance of approximately break-even.
