The 2022 results reported today reflect a full year benefit from the creation of the Company’s non-personal commercial platform and related cost savings. In addition, the strategic actions taken in the second half – refinancing the debt, exiting an unprofitable sales channel and acquiring Sympazan – as well as the acquisition of Otrexup in late 2021, have contributed to the positive change in our business. These actions have produced full year results where net product sales increased 42%, adjusted EBITDA increased 108% and operating cash flow increased by $73.1 million.
Fourth quarter results included the following as compared to the prior year quarter:
- Net product sales increased 55% to $49.9 million.
- Increased sales of Indocin, a full quarter of Otrexup and the addition of Sympazan more than offset the expected declines in Zipsor and Solumatrix.
- Indocin sales increased 87% due to a volume mix shift to more profitable channels and a return to normal customer inventory levels after a reduction in the prior quarter.
- Selling, general and administrative expenses were $13.7 million, reflecting an increase of $2.4 million.
- The increase was driven by $1.4 million of higher stock-based compensation expense and $1.0 million in higher sales and marketing expenses due to the addition of Otrexup and Sympazan.
- GAAP net income increased to $88.6 million, from $4.6 million.
- The increase was driven by a tax benefit of $80.4 million from the reversal of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, which reflects the positive change in the Company’s financial performance that has now been consistently generating positive net income and operating cash flows.
- Additional gross profit2 of $16.6 million was driven by higher product net sales, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative and amortization expenses and $9.8 million of fair value expense for contingent consideration as a result of an increase in the long-term Indocin sales forecast.
- The fourth quarter also included $1.1 million of lower interest expense resulting from our convertible debt refinancing, which reduced the cash interest rate to 6.5% from 13%.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased to $33.4 million, from $17.8 million.
- The increase was driven by $17.7 million of additional net product sales, and the resulting increase in gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
- The Company’s gross profit margin2 improved by 317 basis points due to continued strong sales of Indocin.
- Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 was $64.9 million, which reflected $26.7 million of cash flow from operations in the fourth quarter partially offset by $25.0 million of final purchase price payments for Otrexup and Sympazan. The convertible debt refinancing in August resulted in the elimination of debt principal payments resulting in $4.8 million of cash flow benefit in the fourth quarter versus the prior year quarter.
“Assertio’s successful achievement of its strategic priorities in 2022 delivered financial results that exceeded our outlook quarter after quarter, culminating in an especially strong fourth quarter as we shifted Indocin demand in favor of higher margin commercial purchases,” said Dan Peisert, Chief Executive Officer. “The fourth quarter was a springboard into 2023 where we see opportunities to increase sales in our key Indocin, Sympazan and Otrexup assets, which we expect will offset the January loss of exclusivity on Cambia. Our life cycle management program for Indocin will be one of our key priorities for 2023 as we seek to access a larger addressable market. Later this year, we expect to be enrolling patients into a clinical trial that is currently being designed to expand the label and, if approved, to provide regulatory exclusivity.”
“Our balance sheet is well positioned to support our growth plans, in particular our business development initiatives. Our $30.0 million note exchanges in February 2023 further positioned our balance sheet to pursue meaningful business development opportunities which fit our criteria. We are actively engaged in evaluating multiple prospective opportunities to expand and diversify our business, while remaining focused on identifying the right assets that best advance our strategic growth objectives.”
2023 Full Year Financial Guidance
Assertio announced its initial 2023 operating guidance as follows:
| Net Product Sales (GAAP) | $150.0 Million to $160.0 Million |
| Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)3 | $85.0 Million to $93.0 Million |
The Company anticipates revenue in the first quarter of 2023 to be between $36.0 million to $38.0 million, reflecting typical seasonality and the loss of Cambia exclusivity. The Company’s full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance includes an initial estimate of the anticipated clinical trial costs in the second half of the year. The guidance does not include the effect of the potential acquisition of new portfolio assets.
_______________
1 Non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures in the schedules attached.
2 Gross profit represents net products sales less cost of sales.
3See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for information about reconciling our Adjusted EBITDA guidance to Net Income.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company generated $26.7 million in cash flow from operations, its seventh consecutive quarter of positive cash flows. For the full year 2022, the Company generated $78.6 million in cash flow from operations.
At year-end 2022, cash and cash equivalents totaled $64.9 million, a slight increase from the third quarter even after funding $25.0 million of asset purchase payments for Otrexup and Sympazan in the fourth quarter.
On February 23, 2023, Assertio entered into Exchange Agreements pursuant to which Assertio exchanged $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible debt for a combination of an aggregate of $10.5 million in cash and an aggregate of approximately 7.0 million shares of its common stock in the transactions. This reduces the amount of convertible debt outstanding that can become senior indebtedness in the event the Company seeks to finance any of its future business development transactions with secured debt. Assertio did not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the shares of its common stock. The transactions reduced Assertio’s overall debt by 42.9%, will save the Company $2.0 million in annual interest payments, reduced the potential dilution from the exchanged convertible notes by 4.6%, and will be accretive to 2023 diluted EPS by $0.02.

These forward-looking statements are made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, future events or the future performance or operations of Assertio, including our ability to realize the benefits from our operating model, successfully acquire and integrate new assets and explore new business development initiatives, as well as the cost and outcomes of clinical studies. All statements other than historical facts may be forward-looking statements and can be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “imply,” “intend,” “may”, “objective,” “opportunity,” “outlook,” “plan,” “position,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “prospective,” “pursue,” “seek,” “should,” “strategy,” “target,” “would,” “will,” “aim” or other similar expressions that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes and are used to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of Assertio, including the risks described in Assertio’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other filings Assertio makes with the SEC from time to time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the Company’s financial results presented on a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis, the Company has included information about non-GAAP measures of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, and adjusted earnings per share as useful operating metrics. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliation, provides supplementary information to analysts, investors, lenders, and the Company’s management in assessing the Company’s performance and results from period to period. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate the Company’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not a substitute for, or superior to, net income or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures used by us may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP measures used by other companies.
This release also includes estimated full-year non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA information, which the Company believes enables investors to better understand the anticipated performance of the business, but should be considered a supplement to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. No reconciliation of estimated non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA to estimated net income is provided in this release because some of the information necessary for estimated net income such as income taxes, fair value change in contingent consideration, and stock-based compensation is not yet ascertainable or accessible and the Company is unable to quantify these amounts that would be required to be included in estimated net income without unreasonable efforts.
Specified Items
Non-GAAP measures presented within this release exclude specified items. The Company considers specified items to be significant income/expense items not indicative of current operations. Specified items include adjustments to interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation expense, amortization expense, sales reserves adjustments for products the Company is no longer selling, stock-based compensation expense, fair value adjustments to contingent consideration or derivative liability, restructuring costs, amortization of fair value inventory step-up as result of purchase accounting, transaction-related costs, gains or losses from adjustments to long-lived assets and assets not part of current operations, and gains or losses resulting from debt refinancing or extinguishment.

(1) Certain adjustments included here are the same as those reflected in the Company’s reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and therefore should be read in conjunction with that reconciliation and respective footnotes.
(2) The Company uses the if-converted method to compute adjusted diluted earnings per share with respect to its convertible debt. Under the if-converted method, the Company assumes the 2027 Convertible Notes were converted at the beginning of each period presented.
