CHICAGO (December 1, 2015) - The Female Health Company (NASDAQ: FHCO) (the Company), which manufactures and markets the FC2 Female Condom® (FC2), today reported its operating results for the quarter and year ended September 30, 2015.  The Company will host an investor conference call today at 11:15 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results (see details below).

Management Comments

“We are pleased with the solid growth in unit sales, net revenues, operating income and earnings per share for FY2015,” stated O.B. Parrish, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“We believe these results reflect continued growth in long-term demand for female condoms for two reasons.  First, the global need for effective ways to prevent sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS, and unintended pregnancies continue to expand.  Second, the organized advocacy on a gender equity basis by independent women’s and other groups for increased investment in and availability of female condoms continues to gain momentum.  Women account for more than 50% of all new HIV/AIDS cases, and AIDS remains the leading cause of death globally among women 15-44 years of age.”
 
 
 
 
 

 

“Operating income for FY2015 increased 69% to $6.6 million, while operating margin widened to 20% of net revenues, compared with 16% in the previous fiscal year.”

“Net income for FY2015 increased 79% to $4.3 million, while earnings per diluted share increased 88% to $0.15, versus $0.08 in FY2014.”

“The Company recorded income tax expense of $2,341,004 for FY2015.  However, because the Company continues to use its net operating loss carryforwards to reduce the amount of income taxes actually paid, the amount of cash income tax payments totaled only $294,441, or 13% of the income tax expense.  This resulted in a cash savings of $2,046,563.  The Company’s net operating tax loss carryforwards, which may be used to reduce future cash income tax payments, each total $13 million for federal and state in the U.S. and $62 million in the U.K.”

“I am optimistic regarding the Company’s future for four reasons:
 
  • While there will continue to be some public sector volatility, we expect the demand for female condoms should continue to increase on a long-term basis.  We believe this is reflected in the Company’s sale of more than 500 million female condoms to date and a 10 year compound annual unit sales growth rate of 16%.
  • The first competitive female condom was cleared for distribution more than three years ago.  Given three years of competition the Company remains the global market leader, as reflected in our Fiscal 2015 operating results.
  • Changes in the U.S. market, including the fact female condoms are now reimbursable under The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), provide an opportunity for direct-to-consumer marketing.
  • The Company is actively evaluating candidates with proprietary and differentiating characteristics to diversify its product line."
“Our goal is to generate profitable growth and increase shareholder value on a long-term basis,” concluded Parrish.
 
 
Fiscal Year Results

Net revenues totaled $32,604,865 and net income totaled $4,346,036, or $0.15 per diluted share, in FY2015, compared with net revenues of $24,490,586 and net income of $2,433,061, or $0.08 per diluted share, in FY2014.

Net revenues increased $8,114,279, or 33%, in FY2015 when compared with the prior-year period.  Effective January 1, 2015, the unit FC2 price was reduced for major public sector purchasers, replacing the Company’s previous 5% no-cost product volume-based purchasing incentive program.  The FC2 average sales price per unit declined 7.2% in FY2015 when compared with FY2014, due to changes in sales mix and the price adjustment.

Gross profit increased $5,848,481, or 45%, to $18,969,959 in FY2015, from $13,121,478 in FY2014.  Gross profit margin in FY2015 approximated 58% of net revenues versus 54% of net revenues for the same period last year.  The increase reflects the favorable impact of changes in currency exchange rates, increased volume and improved efficiency.
 
 
 
 
 

 

Operating expenses increased $3,153,986, or 34%, to $12,351,552 in FY2015, versus $9,197,566 in FY2014.  Approximately 53 percent of the increased spending related to programming, marketing and management fees related to the Brazilian tender.  $398,000 of the increase was for the Company’s share of tariff cost related expenses for the Brazilian tender.  Other expense increases included an accrual for fiscal year end incentive compensation, business development consulting costs associated with the portfolio diversification strategy and product development costs for new versions of FC2.  These increased expenses were partially offset by a reduction of expenses relating to employee compensation.

Operating income in FY2015 increased $2,694,495, or 69%, to $6,618,407, versus operating income of $3,923,912 in FY2014.  The increase resulted from higher net revenue and improved gross margins, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Income tax expense in FY2015 totaled $2,341,004, compared with $1,524,130 in FY2014.  During the period ended December 31, 2013, the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets related to net operating losses was fully reversed. As a result, after December 31, 2013, the Company no longer recognizes significant income tax benefits in its consolidated statements of income relating to such deferred tax assets.  However the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized to reduce cash payments for income taxes based on the statutory rate in effect at the time of such utilization.  In FY2015, the Company’s cash payments for income taxes totaled $294,441, or 13 percent of the income tax expense recorded for the period.

The Company's net income increased $1,912,975, or 79%, to $4,346,036 in FY2015, versus net income of $2,433,061 in FY2014.  Net income per diluted share increased 88% to $0.15 in FY2015, compared with $0.08 in FY2014.

Adjusted EBITDA improved to $7,666,505 in FY2015, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $5,400,540 in FY2014.  Adjusted diluted EBITDA per share increased 42% to $0.27 in FY2015, compared with $0.19 in FY2014.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is included in the table in the section entitled “Additional Non-GAAP Performance Measures” at the end of this release.

Fourth Quarter Results

Net revenues totaled $7,154,985 and net income totaled $702,571, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with net revenues of $5,554,113 and a net loss of $(566,121), or $(0.02) per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Net revenues increased $1,600,872, or 29%, on a 41% increase in unit sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, when compared with the same period last year.  To better serve its customers, the Company replaced its volume-based 5% no-cost product program with a 5% price reduction for major public sector customers effective January 1, 2015.  The FC2 average sales price per unit decreased 8.7% versus the same period last year due to this reduction and changes in sales mix.
 
 
Gross profit increased $1,236,871, or 43%, to $4,123,644 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared with $2,886,773 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2015 improved six percentage points to approximately 58% of net revenues, versus 52% of net revenues for the same period last year.  The increase reflects the favorable impact of changes in currency exchange rates, increased volume and improved efficiency.
 
 
 
 

 

Significant quarter-to-quarter variations in the Company’s results have historically resulted from the timing and shipment of large orders rather than from any fundamental changes in the business or the underlying demand for female condoms.

Operating expenses decreased $7,023 to $3,362,327 in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $3,369,350 in the prior-year period.

Operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 totaled $761,317, versus an operating loss of $(482,577) in the fourth quarter of FY2014, an increase of $1,243,894.  The increase was primarily due to higher net revenues.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 totaled $79,229, compared with $69,036 for the same period in FY2014.

The Company's net income was $702,571 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a net loss of $(566,121) in the same period of the prior year.  Earnings per diluted share were $0.02 versus a loss of $(0.02) in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled $848,629 in the fourth quarter of FY2015, compared with adjusted EBITDA of $(95,725) in the comparable FY2014 period.  Adjusted diluted EBITDA per share was $0.03 in the fourth quarter FY2015 compared with $(0.00) in the fourth quarter of FY2014. A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures is included in the table in the section entitled “Additional Non-GAAP Performance Measures” at the end of this release.

Additional Non-GAAP Performance Measures

In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") included in this release, the Company has provided the non-GAAP measures of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EBITDA per share in this release.  Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income or expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the share-based compensation reflected in the reconciliation table set forth below.  Adjusted diluted EBITDA per share represent Adjusted EBITDA divided by the weighted average shares outstanding amounts used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share in accordance with GAAP for the relevant periods.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure for investors for the following reasons:
 
  • Adjusted EBITDA and similar non-GAAP measures are widely used by investors to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon financing and accounting methods, book values of assets, tax jurisdictions and tax attributes, capital structures and the methods by which assets were acquired;
  • Investors can use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of our company, including our ability to satisfy our cash needs;
  • By comparing our Adjusted EBITDA in different historical periods, investors can evaluate our operating performance excluding the impact of items described below;
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of income tax expense on net income, which has a smaller impact on cash flows because the Company has significant U.S. and UK net operating loss carryforwards that can be used to reduce cash payments for income taxes; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of share-based compensation on net income, which does not affect cash and which fluctuates based on the timing of share grants and share price.
Adjusted EBITDA is not adjusted for all non-cash expenses or for working capital, capital expenditures or other investment requirements and, accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts of cash that may be available for discretionary uses.  Thus, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or cash (used in) provided by operating activities, each prepared in accordance with GAAP, when measuring profitability or liquidity.
