MAYNE PHARMA RESULTS AND PRODUCT UPDATE

6 February 2014, Melbourne Australia:

First half FY14 preliminary financial performance

Mayne Pharma Group Limited (Mayne Pharma or the Company) is pleased to provide this update to the market on the Company’s preliminary results for the six month period ended 31 December 2013 which are ahead of expectations.

Highlights of Mayne Pharma's expected preliminary first half FY14 results include:

  • Total revenue of between $68.0 - $71.0 million;

  • Underlying EBITDA of between $18.6 - $19.1 million;

  • Reported EBITDA of between $17.7 - $18.2 million; and

  • Reported NPAT of between $8.2 - $8.4 million.

The Group result reflects a strong performance across all operating segments and was driven by recent business and product acquisitions, new product launches, increased market penetration of existing products and more favourable exchange rates. Total revenue is expected to be up by more than 20% on the 2HFY13 period and underlying EBITDA is expected to be up by more than 45%.

Adjustments to Reported EBITDA in the first half include:

  • $0.2m of acquisition costs in relation to the Libertas acquisition;

  • $0.3m relating to the non-cash charge arising from the increase in the fair value of the earn-out liability associated with the Mayne Pharma International Pty Ltd (MPI) acquisition in November 2009; and

  • A provision of $0.4m has been recognised at 31 December 2013 for a proposed settlement agreement entered into by Warner Chilcott, Mayne Pharma and the direct purchaser class of plaintiffs in the Doryx anti-trust action in the USA. This will be payable subject to the approval of the Court, and certain other conditions. Following this payment, Mayne Pharma does not anticipate any further liability in relation to this matter.

Cash on hand at 31 December 2013 of $19.8 million was slightly higher than the position at the end of 30 June 2013. The Company’s bank debt at 31 December 2013 stood at $55.5 million up from $46.7 million at 30 June 2013 largely due to the use of debt to partially fund the payment of the earn-out for the Metrics, Inc. acquisition.

These results are subject to the completion of the Auditor’s review and final sign-off by the Board. The Board intends to announce the full half-year results on Wednesday 26 February.
