Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (NYSE: VRX) (TSX: VRX) announces first quarter financial results for 2013.

"Despite a slow January due to the integration of the Valeant and Medicis sales organizations, we delivered another solid quarter of strong growth in Cash EPS and adjusted cash flow to our shareholders," stated J. Michael Pearson, chairman and chief executive officer. "We were particularly pleased with the strong organic growth of our emerging market segment, which was primarily driven by Poland, Russia, Brazil, South East Asia, and South Africa, as well as the continued growth in many of our promoted brands."

Revenue

Valeant's total revenues were $1.068 billion, up 25% compared to the first quarter of 2012, and product revenues were $1.039 billion, up 38% versus the year-ago quarter.

Valeant's U.S. Promoted product sales increased 91% to $479 million led by strong growth in key brands such as Acanya, CeraVe, Arestin, Dysport, Restylane, Perlane and AcneFree. On a same store sales organic growth basis, U.S. Promoted business increased 6% despite increased generic competition in BenzaClin. Excluding the impact on BenzaClin sales, same store sales organic growth for this portfolio would have been 12% for the first quarter of 2013. Pro forma organic growth was flat as compared to the prior year due to the harmonization of wholesaler contracts between Valeant and Medicis. The wholesaler inventory levels of the Medicis dermatology portfolio were reduced from more than two months to approximately one month. Excluding this impact, pro forma organic growth was 7% in the first quarter of 2013.

Our U.S. Neurology and Other business delivered an EBITA contribution that was flat as compared to the prior year based on the stabilization of Wellbutrin XL and growth in several orphan drug products. This improvement was achieved in spite of a decrease in overall sales primarily from a reduction in partnered generic products which are low margin (e.g. diltiazem CD, nifedipine) and the slow launch of fenofibrate. We expect the top line growth in this division to be flat to slightly up for the full year 2013 and growth in EBITA versus 2012.

Our Canadian business reported strong growth in key brands for the quarter, including COLD-FX, CeraVe and our dermatology franchise, which was offset by the continued decline in Cesamet, while our Australian operations continued to perform well.

Finally, our Emerging Markets segment performed extremely well in the first quarter and product sales increased 26% driven by outstanding growth in Poland, Russia, Brazil, South East Asia and South Africa.

Financial Performance

The Company reported a net loss of $28 million for the first quarter of 2013, or a loss of $0.09 per diluted share. On a Cash EPS basis, adjusted income was $405 million, or $1.30 per diluted share. Excluding gains on the divestiture of two dermatology products and a foreign exchange gain related to the acquisition of iNova in the first quarter of 2012, Cash EPS increased 43% over the year-ago quarter.

GAAP cash flow from operations was $255 million in the first quarter of 2013, and adjusted cash flow from operations was $345 million.

The Company's cost of goods sold (COGS) was $285 million in the first quarter of 2013. After backing out the fair value adjustment to inventory, amortization expense and other items related to acquisitions, COGS represented 22% of product sales, a decrease of three percentage points as compared to the first quarter of 2012 due to a favorable product mix, global plant consolidations and other initiatives.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses were $242 million in the first quarter of 2013, or approximately 23% of revenue, which was an increase of 4% over the prior year. SG&A was unusually high this quarter due to the integration of Medicis, and we expect this ratio to return to historical levels for the remainder of 2013. Research and Development expenses were $24 million in the first quarter of 2013, or approximately 2% of revenue.

2013 Guidance

The Company is updating its previous Cash EPS guidance and is now targeting Cash EPS of $5.55 to $5.85 in 2013, despite a recent entry of Zovirax generic ointment, up from prior guidance of $5.45 to $5.75. Total revenue in the range of $4.4 to $4.8 billion and adjusted cash flow from operations of $1.5 to $1.75 billion is reaffirmed.
