Company to Host Conference Call at 8:30am ET Today

DALLAS/FORT WORTH, Texas, March 17, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:NEOS), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative extended-release (XR) products for the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and 2015 fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

“The past fifteen months have been incredibly exciting for Neos Therapeutics as we have worked towards our goal of providing more patient- and caregiver-friendly dosing options for the treatment of ADHD. With the January 2016 FDA approval of our first branded product, Adzenys XR-ODT, patients with ADHD will soon have access to the first and only extended-release orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) for the treatment of their condition,” said Vipin K. Garg, Ph.D., President and CEO of Neos Therapeutics. “This year, in addition to our launch of Adzenys XR-ODT, we are actively working to advance our late-stage product pipeline. If approved, these products would provide clinicians with a portfolio of treatment options for patients suffering from ADHD.”

2016 Milestones

  • Initiate full field force launch of Adzenys XR-ODT in the second quarter of 2016.
  • Announce results of bioequivalence study for Cotempla XR-ODT, the Company’s methylphenidate extended-release orally disintegrating tablet, in the third quarter of 2016.
  • Resubmit the New Drug Application (NDA) for Cotempla XR‑ODT in the fourth quarter of 2016.
  • Submit the NDA for NT‑0201, the Company’s amphetamine XR liquid suspension in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Select Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter Ended December 31, 2015
Total revenues were $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $1.2 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014.  All $1.7 million of revenue was generated from net sales of the Company’s generic Tussionex.

Cost of goods sold was $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $585,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2014 due to the increase in Tussionex sales.

Selling and marketing expenses were $3.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared to $95,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014.  The increase was primarily due to pre‑commercialization activities for Adzenys XR-ODT and increased salary expense associated with building out the commercial team.

General and administrative expenses were $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $1.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 due to an increase in share‑based compensation and other professional fees.

The Company reported a net loss of $9.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015, compared with $4.9 million for the same period in 2014.

Select Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2015

Cost of goods sold was $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $2.2 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily due to increased sales of Tussionex.

Research and development expenses were $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $1.3 million as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.  This increase was primarily due to the FDA filing fee for the NDA of Cotempla XR-ODT submitted in January 2015.

Selling and marketing expenses were $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $212,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The increase was primarily due to pre‑commercialization activities for Adzenys XR-ODT and the Cotempla XR-ODT product candidate and increased salary expense associated with building out the commercial team.

General and administrative expenses were $7.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $2.4 million from $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 due to an increase in share‑based compensation and other professional fees.
