Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE: VRX) (TSX: VRX) announces third quarter financial results for 2012.

"The third quarter results again demonstrate our ability to deliver strong growth and profitability," said J. Michael Pearson, chairman and chief executive officer. "We are very pleased with the third quarter's double-digit organic growth and record Cash EPS. Our U.S. Dermatology business had an outstanding quarter, the trends in our U.S. Neurology and Other business are clearly improving, and our businesses outside the U.S. continue to perform strongly. This continued strength in our base business, coupled with the potential approval of efinaconazole (IDP-108) and the pending acquisition of Medicis, should provide us with a solid foundation to deliver strong continued growth in 2013 and beyond."

Business Performance

Valeant's business continued to perform well in the third quarter of 2012 with all businesses achieving results within or above expectations. Same store organic growth was approximately 14% and pro forma organic growth was approximately 12% for the third quarter of 2012 (See Table 6). Total revenue was $884.1 million in the third quarter of 2012, as compared to $600.6 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 47%. Product sales were $856.9 million in the third quarter of 2012, as compared to $570.4 million in the year-ago quarter, an increase of 50%.

Valeant's base business also continued to deliver strong organic growth. Particularly positive was Valeant's U.S. Dermatology business, which continued its exceptional growth performance in the third quarter. Key contributors to organic growth included Zovirax®, Elidel®, Retin-A Micro®, Acanya® and CeraVe®.

Our U.S. Neurology and Other portfolio declined slightly in the quarter, but the rate of decline improved significantly, reflecting the diminishing impact of the year over year negative impact from generic competitors of Wellbutrin XL®, Ultram® ER and Cardizem® CD. Excluding these products, the remaining U.S. Neurology and Other segment increased 9% (same store sales), as compared to the third quarter of 2011. We expect that this segment will return to positive organic growth in 2013.

The Canadian and Australian segment delivered negative organic growth this quarter, as expected, due to the rapid genericization of Cesamet® in Canada that began in March 2012. Excluding Cesamet, the Canadian and Australian segment delivered 12% organic growth (same store sales).

Finally, our Emerging Markets segment provided pro forma organic growth of 9%, primarily driven by our operations in Latin America and South East Asia/South Africa. While overall market rates in Central and Eastern Europe slowed, our European operations significantly outperformed and delivered organic growth levels well above the market.

Financial Performance

The Company reported net income of $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2012, or $0.02 per diluted share. On a Cash EPS basis, adjusted income was $357.5 million, or $1.15 per diluted share.

GAAP cash flow from operations was $166.8 million in the third quarter of 2012, and adjusted cash flow from operations was $241.2 million. Cash flow was negatively impacted by an increase in accounts receivable principally due to sequential revenue growth as compared to the second quarter, and the strong seasonal sales in the month of September, primarily in U.S. Dermatology and Europe; the Wellbutrin XL litigation settlement costs of $37.7 million; and restructuring charges from our acquisitions.

The Company's cost of goods sold (COGS) was $219.7 million in the third quarter of 2012. After backing out the fair value adjustment to inventory, amortization expense and other items related to acquisitions of $20.0 million, COGS represented 23% of product sales. COGS for the third quarter of 2012 were positively impacted by the strong growth in our U.S. Dermatology segment which has a lower COGS profile than other segments.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $188.7 million in the third quarter of 2012, which includes a $9.1 million step-up in stock based compensation expenses related to the acquisition of Legacy Valeant. Excluding the step-up in stock based compensation, SG&A was approximately 20% of revenue. Research and Development expenses were $19.2 million in the third quarter of 2012, or approximately 2% of revenue.

2012 Guidance

The Company is updating previous 2012 Guidance from $4.55 to $4.75 Cash EPS, or $1.25 to $1.45 Cash EPS for the fourth quarter 2012, to $4.60 - $4.65 Cash EPS, or $1.30 to $1.35 Cash EPS for the fourth quarter of 2012, which excludes the interest expense of $0.12 Cash EPS from the $2.75 billion Medicis related financing. Valeant is lowering 2012 adjusted cash flow from operations expectations from greater than $1.4 billion to $1.2 to $1.3 billion due to increased investment in working capital associated with the growth in emerging markets, asset deals which require an investment in working capital post-closing, and plant consolidations including the closing of the Bourdon facility in Canada and the exiting of a legacy Valeant contract manufacturer in Puerto Rico. Valeant is maintaining prior guidance of total revenue in the range of $3.4 to $3.6 billion.
