To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented on a U.S. GAAP basis, Elan provides readers with EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP measures of operating results. EBITDA is defined as net loss from continuing operations plus or minus depreciation and amortization of costs and revenues, provisions for income tax and net interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA plus or minus net gains or losses on divestment of businesses, other significant charges, loss on EPIL II guarantee, net investment gains and losses and net charge on debt retirement. Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA are presented as alternative measures of operating results, cash flow from operations or net loss from continuing operations, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Elan's management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of Elan and its business and these measures are among the factors considered as a basis for Elan's planning and forecasting for future periods. Elan believes EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures of performance used by some investors, equity analysts and others to make informed investment decisions. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used as analytical indicators of income generated to service debt and to fund capital expenditures. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not give effect to cash used for interest payments related to debt service requirements and do not reflect funds available for investment in the business of Elan or for other discretionary purposes. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by Elan and presented in this press release, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss from continuing operations are set out in the tables above titled "Non-GAAP Financial Information Reconciliation Schedule."

    class action.

 

The analysis below is based on the revenues and costs from continuing operations presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Net Loss and Adjusted EBITDA

 

The net loss for the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $67.1 million, a decrease of 38% over the $107.8 million reported in the same quarter of 2004, principally due to strong growth in product revenue from our core business, a net gain on divestment of businesses, and costs of $55.0 million related to the settlements of the shareholder class action lawsuit and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation which were incurred in the third quarter of 2004, offset by increased operating expenses related to Tysabri(TM).

 

Negative Adjusted EBITDA was $42.1 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $56.7 million in the third quarter of 2004, and included negative Adjusted EBITDA of $36.7 million related to Tysabri (2004: $31.9 million). Adjusted EBITDA for the rest of the business, excluding costs related to Tysabri, is targeted to get to breakeven by the end of 2005 and was negative $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2005 (2004: $24.8 million). A reconciliation of negative Adjusted EBITDA to net loss from continuing operations, is presented in the table titled "Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Information - EBITDA" included on page 3.

 

Revenue

 

Total revenue increased 27% to $128.6 million in the third quarter of 2005 from $101.1 million in the third quarter of 2004, principally due to an increase in product revenue from the core business, offset by reduced revenue from divested products and contract revenue. Revenue is analyzed below between product revenue generated from the core business, revenue arising from products that have been divested and contract revenue.

Product Revenue

 

Total product revenue for the third quarter of 2005 of $118.4 million increased 38% from $85.7 million recorded in the same quarter of 2004 due primarily to an increase in revenue from marketed products and an increase in manufacturing revenue and royalties.

 

Revenue from marketed products

 

Revenue from marketed products was $52.1 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $45.5 million recorded in the same period of 2004 due to increased sales of Maxipime and Azactam, and the sales of Prialt which was launched in 2005.

 

As previously reported, we have experienced third party supply shortages and disruptions with Maxipime during 2005. This has led to a significant decline in inventories that are held by our wholesale customers and hospitals and, consequently, on our ability to meet demand. As a result of the inventory shortages, Maxipime prescription volume demand for July and August of 2005 decreased by 5%, compared to the same period in 2004. Revenue for the third quarter of 2005 increased by 2% from $33.0 million in the third quarter of 2004 to $33.8 million. The supply situation improved during the third quarter and we expect to be able to meet demand and wholesaler inventory requirements during the fourth quarter of 2005. We will continue to actively manage the supply of Maxipime which is manufactured by a third party.

 

Azactam prescription volume demand for July and August of 2005 increased by 4%, compared to the same period of 2004, while revenue for the quarter increased from $12.5 million to $17.0 million, or 36%. Changing wholesaler inventory levels primarily explains the difference between Azactam prescription growth rate and revenue growth in the third quarter of 2005. Azactam lost patent exclusivity in October 2005 and we anticipate generic competition will have an impact on sales of Azactam from the end of the year.

 

Prialt, a new treatment for severe chronic pain, was approved in the U.S. in December 2004. Revenue from Prialt for the third quarter of 2005 was $1.5 million, down from $1.8 million reported in the second quarter of 2005, due to increased demand offset by reduced wholesaler inventories.

 

Manufacturing revenue and royalties

 

Manufacturing revenue and royalties from Elan's Drug Technology business comprises revenue earned from products manufactured for third parties and royalties earned principally on sales by third parties of products that incorporate Elan's technologies.

 

Manufacturing revenue and royalties was $57.8 million in the third quarter of 2005, an increase of 99% over the $29.0 million recorded in the third quarter of 2004. This primarily reflects increased sales by third parties of products that incorporate Elan's technologies, principally Tricor(TM), and increased manufacturing activity for third parties.

 

Manufacturing revenue and royalties can be further analyzed as follows:

-------- -----              ----- ------

   29.0  57.8    Total      90.6  148.8

-------- -----              ----- ------

 

No product accounted for more than 10% of total manufacturing revenue and royalties in the third quarter of 2005 or 2004, except as noted above. Of the total of $57.8 million in manufacturing revenue and royalties in the third quarter of 2005, 35% (2004: 15%) consisted of royalties received on products that are not manufactured by Elan.

 

Amortized revenue

 

The results for the third quarter of 2005 and 2004 include $8.5 million of amortized revenue related to the licensing of rights to Elan's generic form of Adalat CC and the restructuring of Elan's Avinza license agreement with Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Inc, which occurred in 2002. The remaining unamortized revenue on these products of $43.7 million, which is included in deferred income, will be recognized as revenue through June 2007 (generic Adalat CC), and November 2006 (Avinza), reflecting Elan's ongoing involvement in the manufacturing of these products.

 

Contract Revenue

 

Contract revenue in the third quarter of 2005 was $10.2 million, a decrease of 34% from the $15.4 million recorded in the third quarter of 2004, principally due to a reduction in research revenue and milestones arising from research and development activities performed by Elan on behalf of third parties. The reduction resulted from, among other things, the timing of milestone receipts, the completion of transitional research and development activities related to certain divested products and the suspension of activity related to Sonata(TM).

 

Gross Profit

 

The gross profit margin on product revenue was 61% in the third quarter of 2005, compared to 54% in the same period of 2004. The increase was due principally to the change in the mix of sales and cost management.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Research and development (R&D) expenses were $60.3 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $55.5 million in the same period of 2004 and $64.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. The increase in the third quarter of 2005 from the same quarter of 2004 is due to costs related to the Tysabri safety evaluation study and the ongoing enrollment of patients in Phase II clinical trials with a humanized monoclonal antibody, AAB-001, for Alzheimer's disease. Included in R&D expenses is $19.4 million related to Tysabri (2004: $18.1 million).

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 4% to $81.0 million in the third quarter of 2005 from $77.8 million in the same quarter of 2004 and decreased 11% from $91.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 and can be analyzed as follows:

Rest of business SG&A expenses, excluding amortization, decreased by 5% from $48.1 million in the third quarter of 2004 to $45.9 million in the third quarter of 2005. The SG&A expenses related to Tysabri, excluding amortization, were $16.7 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $13.8 million in the third quarter of 2004 and $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2005.

 

Net Gain on Divestment of Businesses

 

The net gain on divestment of businesses in the third quarter of 2005 was $23.3 million, compared to a net gain of $5.6 million in the same period of 2004. Included in the net gain in the third quarter of 2005 is $23.0 million of contingent consideration related to the divestment of Zonegran (zonisamide) to Eisai Co. Ltd (Eisai). In addition, Elan expects to receive additional consideration of $25.0 million from Eisai if generic zonisamide is not introduced into the U.S. market before January 1, 2006.

 

Other Significant Charges

 

Other significant charges were $3.2 million (mainly severance costs) in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $55.5 million incurred in the same period of 2004. The $55.5 million incurred in the third quarter of 2004 primarily consisted of costs to settle the shareholder class action and the SEC investigation.

 

Net Interest and Investment Gains and Losses

 

Net interest and investment gains and losses amounted to a net charge of $28.4 million for the third quarter of 2005, compared to a net charge of $22.7 million for the same period of 2004. The increase is primarily a result of the issuance of $1.15 billion in senior fixed and floating notes in November 2004, partially offset by the repayment of the EPIL III notes, the retirement of $242.8 million of our 2008 debt in the second quarter of 2005, and by interest income earned on higher average cash balances.

 

EBITDA

 

Negative Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2005 amounted to $42.1 million, compared to a negative Adjusted EBITDA of $56.7 million in the same period of 2004. The improvement is due to increased product revenue and operating margins from the core business, partially offset by increased costs associated with Tysabri.

 

Negative Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Tysabri, was $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2005 compared to $20.5 million in the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter of 2005 included $8.0 million of litigation settlement costs. The improvement in negative Adjusted EBITDA, excluding Tysabri, is principally a result of continued growth in product revenue from the core business and the impact of the cost containment initiatives announced in April 2005. Negative Adjusted EBITDA for Tysabri was $36.7 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to $38.2 million in the second quarter of 2005.

 

A reconciliation of negative EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net loss from continuing operations, as reported under U.S. GAAP, is presented in the tables titled, "Non-GAAP Financial Information Reconciliation Schedule," included on page 3.

 

    Research & Development

 

    Tysabri (Natalizumab)

 

The comprehensive Tysabri safety evaluation for multiple sclerosis (MS), Crohn's Disease (CD) and rheumatoid arthritis has been completed and the findings resulted in no new confirmed cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The companies have previously reported three confirmed cases of PML, two of which were fatal. On September 26, 2005, Elan and Biogen Idec announced the submission of a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Tysabri to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of MS. The companies have requested Priority Review designation from the FDA. The sBLA includes final two-year data from the Phase III AFFIRM monotherapy trial and SENTINEL add-on trial with AVONEX(R) (Interferon beta-1a) in MS, the integrated safety assessment of patients treated with TYSABRI in clinical trials, a revised label and a risk management plan. The companies have also submitted a similar data package to the European Medicines Agency. The process to restart clinical trials in MS is ongoing.

 

Alzheimer's and other Neurodegenerative Diseases

 

Elan is focused on building upon its breakthrough research and extensive experience in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is also studying other neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease.

 

Two of our compounds from the Alzheimer's disease immunotherapy program, in collaboration with Wyeth, are currently progressing through clinical trials.

 

ACC-001

 

Following the acceptance of the Investigational New Drug Application for ACC-001, our active A-beta immunotherapeutic conjugate, we entered a phase I clinical trial and initiated dosing of patients in the third quarter of 2005. This twelve month clinical trial is designed to study safety and pharmacokinetics in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

 

AAB-001

 

The phase II clinical trials with our humanized monoclonal antibody, AAB-001, designed and engineered to remove the neurotoxic beta-amyloid peptide that accumulates in the brain of patients with AD, is advancing as planned. Dosing was initiated in the first half of 2005 and is scheduled to last eighteen months, with several planned interim analyses.
