Key Business Highlights

• Total Company net revenue for the second quarter increased by 23% versus the prior year period to $36.6 million. This growth was driven by BELBUCA net sales of $32.3 million, an increase of 34% versus the prior year period, and Symproic net sales of $3.4 million, an increase of 7% compared to the second quarter of 2019.
• Total BELBUCA prescriptions reached an all-time high of 104,687 during the second quarter, representing year-over-year prescription volume growth of 31%.
• Total Symproic prescriptions were more than 17,200 in the second quarter, representing growth of 11% versus the prior year.
• Appointed Jeffrey A. Bailey as interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
• Successfully adapted commercial model in response to evolving COVID-19 market conditions, which included a reduction in patient visits to physicians.  This was demonstrated by robust brand performance year over year, while also tightly managing expenses to drive positive net income.

“Our business has proven to be extremely resilient during the second quarter as seen with the all-time high TRx volume and market shares achieved for both BELBUCA and Symproic,” stated Jeff Bailey, interim CEO of BDSI. “BDSI is in the best financial position it has ever been from a cash and profitability perspective, and fundamentally the demand for BELBUCA and Symproic is strong, positioning the company well to continue supporting our commercial team with new and enhanced tools adapted for the current environment.”

Such forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Such statements may include, without limitation, statements with respect to BDSI’s plans, objectives, projections, expectations and intentions and other statements identified by words such as “projects,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “potential” or similar expressions. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of BDSI’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in BDSI’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results (including, without limitation, the continued growth in BELBUCA and Symproic net sales and total company net revenue in 2020 may differ materially from those set forth or implied in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors (many of which are beyond BDSI’s control) including the risk that the current coronavirus pandemic impacts on our supply chain, commercial partners, patients and their physicians and the healthcare facilities in which they work, and our personnel are greater than we anticipate, as well as those set forth in our 2019 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and subsequent filings. BDSI undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future presentations or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes information about certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, including non-GAAP net income and EBITDA. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Non-GAAP net income adjusts for one-time and non-cash charges by excluding the following from GAAP net income: stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of certain warrant discount costs in second quarter 2019, and the financial impact of certain one-time items that are non-recurring, including the financial impact of the debt refinancing in second quarter 2019, the discontinuation of marketing of BUNAVAIL, and costs associated with the CEO transition.

EBITDA excludes net interest, including both interest expenses and interest income, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization.

The Company's management and board of directors utilize these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's performance. The Company provides these non-GAAP measures of the Company's performance to investors because management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed with the Company's results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, are useful in identifying underlying trends in ongoing operations. However, non-GAAP net income and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures as indicators of operating performance. Further, non-GAAP net income and EBITDA should not be considered measures of our liquidity.

A reconciliation of certain GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release.
