Michael Bonner
Chief Financial Officer
Thank you, A.J. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, net revenues were $11.2 million, a 27% increase over $8.8 million for the prior year period. We enjoyed significant contributions from three of our brands during the quarter, as Totect delivered $2.9 million of revenue, followed by $2.8 million for Kristalose and $2.6 million for Ethyol. Net revenues in the third quarter for our other brands totaled $2.8 million, with Acetadote delivering $1.3 million, $0.9 million for Caldolor, $0.4 million for Vaprisol and approximately $0.2 million for Omeclamox-Pak. I’d like to point that domestic Caldolor revenue continued its growth trend during the third quarter. However, total Caldolor revenues were down from the prior year due to less international shipments resulting from manufacturing delays. We have now remedied that issue by bringing a new supplier on line for the product. Total net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $29.5 million, a 23% increase compared to $23.9 million for the prior year period. As always, we continue to believe that our performance is best judged on an annual basis. Furthermore, we still expect to deliver double-digit revenue growth for the full-year 2017. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were $12 million, compared to $8.7 million for the prior year period. Total operating expenses for the first nine months of 2017 were $32.7 million, compared to $24.5 million for 2016. When compared to the prior year periods, our research and development spending increased by $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2017 and $0.9 million for the first nine months of 2017, as we invest in our clinical programs. The overall expense increases were also impacted by the royalties and cost of goods associated with our growth in sales. Adjusted earnings for the third quarter were $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to $1 million, or $0.06 per share the prior year period. During the quarter, our balance sheet included total assets of $90 million, including $50 million in cash and marketable securities. Liabilities at the end of the quarter totaled $25.4 million, including $8 million on our credit facility. The balance on the line of credit represents the funding of acquisitions, including the impact of the royalty payments associated with the acquisition of the U.S. rights to Ethyol and Totect. Total shareholders’ equity was $65.1 million at the end of the period. Meanwhile, we also continue to execute on our share repurchase initiatives. During the third quarter, we repurchased an additional 155,859 Cumberland shares, bringing the total shares repurchased this year to 438,715. That completes our financial report for the third quarter of 2017.
