ANTARES PHARMA REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS
Increased Revenue 20% Year-Over-Year to $48.2 Million
Net Income of $5.4 Million, or $0.03 Per Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
EWING, NJ, November 4, 2021 – Antares Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATRS) (the “Company”), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 with record revenue of $48.2 million and net income of $5.4 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted earnings per share.
Robert F. Apple, President and Chief Executive Officer of Antares Pharma, commented, “Our third quarter financial and operating results are illustrative of the strong execution that we continue to deliver across our diversified business. While XYOSTED and Teva’s generic EpiPen remain the chief drivers of the 20% revenue growth this quarter, we also advanced our corporate development initiatives and internal R&D programs that we believe will be drivers of our future growth trajectory. The recent signing of the license agreement for TLANDO, a twice daily oral formulation of testosterone tentatively approved by the FDA will expand our commercial portfolio and leverage our proven commercial organization that has strong physician relationships and clinical acumen in the large and growing testosterone replacement therapy market. We anticipate launching this exciting new oral product in the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, the initiation of the Phase I study for ATRS-1902 for adrenal crisis rescue should also further highlight our commitment to the endocrinology therapeutic area and enhances our proprietary pipeline.”
“With these accomplishments, we have updated our full year 2021 revenue guidance range to $180-190 million, representing 20-27% year-over-year growth. As we look ahead, our balance sheet continues to strengthen with our cash generation and provides a stronger foundation for additional growth opportunities. Furthermore, we expect our partners to continue to advance their development programs that will further enhance our overall future growth,” concluded Mr. Apple.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Total net revenue generated from product sales, license and development activities and royalties was $48.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a 20% increase compared to $40.0 million in the same period in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, total revenue was $135.3 million, a 28% increase from $105.5 million for the comparable period in 2020.
Product sales were $33.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a 14% increase compared to $28.9 million for the same period in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, product sales were $90.1 million, a 12% increase from $80.7 million in the comparable period in 2020.
Sales of our proprietary products XYOSTED®, OTREXUP® and NOCDURNA® generated revenue of $20.8 million and $58.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $15.8 million and $43.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The 32% and 36% increase in proprietary product sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020 were principally attributable to continued growth in prescriptions and sales of XYOSTED®.
Partnered product sales were $12.2 million and $31.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $13.2 million and $37.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The net decrease in sales of partnered products for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 is attributable to a decrease in epinephrine auto injectors and sales of sumatriptan to Teva and lower production of Makena® autoinjectors for AMAG.
Licensing and development revenue was $3.7 million and $15.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $4.3 million and $8.8 million for the comparable periods in 2020, respectively. The decrease in licensing and development revenue for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the comparable period in 2020 was driven by fluctuations in timing of development activities and the overall increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily a result of incremental development and maintenance activities with Teva and our other ongoing partnered development projects.

Royalty revenue was $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, royalty revenue was $29.3 million, as compared to $16.0 million for the same period in 2020. The net increase in royalty revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to an increase in royalties from Teva on their net sales of generic EpiPen®.
Research and development expenses were $3.9 million and $10.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $2.4 million and $7.8 million for the comparable periods in 2020, respectively. The increase in research and development costs incurred in 2021 as compared to 2020 was attributable to our ongoing internal development programs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $19.9 million and $55.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to $15.2 million and $46.1 million for the comparable periods in 2020, respectively. The net increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in sales and marketing expenses that had declined during the COVID-19 pandemic and incremental costs associated with NOCDURNA®, which was in-licensed in October 2020. General and administrative expenses increased due to increases in professional services, compensation, facility costs and insurance expense to support the growth of the business.
Net income was $5.4 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted earnings per share for the third quarter 2021, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted earnings per share in the same period in 2020. Net income was $13.6 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a net income of $4.8 million, or $0.03 per basic and diluted earnings per share in the comparable period of 2020.
As of September 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $57.4 million compared to $53.1 million as of December 31, 2020. In November 2021, Antares replaced its $20.0 million Hercules Capital term loan with a Wells Fargo credit facility, which includes a $20.0 million term loan and $20.0 million revolving line of credit. The Company generated cash from operations of $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
