WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inotiv, Inc. (NASDAQ: NOTV) (the “Company”, “We”, “Our” or “Inotiv”), a leading contract research organization specializing in nonclinical and analytical drug discovery and development services, today announced financial results for the three months (“Q3 FY 2021”) and nine months (“9M FY 2021”) ended June 30, 2021.

Q3 FY 2021 Highlights

• Revenue grew 45.2% to $22.9 million, from $15.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 (“Q3 FY 2020”), driven by internal growth of $2.9 million and two months of incremental revenue from HistoTox Labs, Inc. (“HistoTox Labs”) and Bolder BioPATH, Inc. (“Bolder BioPATH”) totaling $4.3 million.
• Gross profit increased 51.0% to $7.6 million, from $5.1 million in Q3 FY 2020, reflecting higher revenue and a 128 basis point expansion in gross margin to 33.4%.
• Operating loss totaled $(1.7) million, compared to an operating loss of $(477,000) in Q3 FY 2020, reflecting an increase in operating expenses, which more than offset higher gross profit on higher revenue. The increase in operating expenses reflects higher strategic investment in unallocated corporate general and administrative expense (“G&A”) to support additional future revenue growth, which included recruiting and relocation expense, higher compensation expense (including non-cash stock compensation), transaction costs related to the acquisitions of HistoTox Labs and Bolder BioPATH, an increase in sales commissions due to higher sales awards and an increase in startup costs for internal investments in new service offerings.
• Net loss was $(2.3) million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(879,000), or $(0.08) per diluted share, in Q3 FY 2020.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 147.7% to $2.2 million, from $894,000 in Q3 FY 2021.
• Book-to-bill ratio of 1.53x for services business.
• Ending backlog of $62.0 million, up 15.0% compared to $53.9 million at March 31, 2021, and up 68.0% from $36.9 million at June 30, 2020.
  

9M FY 2021 Highlights

• Revenue grew 33.2% to $59.5 million, from $44.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 (“9M FY 2020”), driven by internal growth of $10.5 million and two months of incremental revenue from HistoTox Labs and Bolder BioPATH totaling $4.3 million.
• Gross profit increased 43.3% to $19.8 million, from $13.8 million in 9M FY 2020, reflecting higher revenue and a 236 basis point expansion in gross margin to 33.3%.
• Operating loss totaled $(2.2) million, compared to an operating loss of $(1.7) million in 9M FY 2020, reflecting an increase in operating expenses, which more than offset higher gross profit on higher revenue.
• Net loss was $(3.4) million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(2.9) million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, in 9M FY 2020.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased 92.2% to $5.0 million, from $2.6 million in 9M FY 2020.

Significant Events during Q3 FY 2021

• On April 23, 2021, closed an underwritten public offering of 3,044,117 common shares. All of the shares were sold at a price to the public of $17.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $49.0 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses.

• On June 7, 2021, announced that the company joined the broad-market Russell 3000® Index and Russell 2000® Index at the conclusion of the 2021 Russell indexes annual reconstitution, effective after the U.S. markets opened on June 28, 2021.
• On June 28, 2021, announced hiring Nikki Jackson and broadening of pathology services to include medical device pathology.

Subsequent Events

• On July 12, 2021, announced the acquisition of assets from MilliporeSigma’s BioReliance® portfolio to expand genetic toxicology offering and hiring of Gopala Krishna, PhD, to build and lead the genetic toxicology business.
• On July 15, 2021, announced the acquisition of laboratory instrumentation to accelerate the startup and development of laboratory services pursuing cell and gene therapy as well as traditional biotherapeutics and immunotherapies.
• On August 2, 2021, announced the acquisition of Gateway Pharmacology Laboratories for increased drug metabolism & pharmacokinetics (DMPK) technology and capability, as well as a new cell and molecular biology suite capable of delivering in vitro solutions in pharmacology and toxicology early in drug discovery.
• Received notice that the PPP loan was forgiven for $4.9 million.

Robert Leasure, Jr., the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We have made significant progress in our strategy to amass the critical building blocks for serving our predominantly emerging biopharma client base across the entire drug discovery and preclinical development continuum.   Our strategy consists of (1) the expansion of existing operations and services, (2) the startup of new services, and (3) the acquisition of strategic assets. Our recent acquisitions of HistoTox Labs and Bolder BioPATH have been performing ahead of our expectations and now comprise our Boulder, Colorado, operations. We also acquired Missouri-based Gateway Pharmacology Laboratories, which enhances our expertise in cardiovascular and renal pharmacology studies. In May 2021, we purchased the St. Louis facility and commenced the location’s expansion, which is expected to add 20,000 square feet of capacity in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. We announced the startup of multiple new services and added assets and personnel to those services. We purchased key genetic toxicology assets from MilliporeSigma’s BioReliance® portfolio, which will help accelerate the startup of our genetic toxicology business. We acquired modern cell and molecular biology instrumentation from a Tennessee-based laboratory that ceased operations in order to accelerate the startup of our biotherapeutics business, and we recently announced the hiring of a leader to build our device histology and pathology business.   We also have continued to make other strategic investments in G&A, including in our people, infrastructure, systems, and services.”

Mr. Leasure concluded, “Reported earnings this quarter were impacted by our strategic investments in internal startup costs, acquisition-related expenses, and recruiting and retention-related expenses. We believe the investments we are making today will augment future growth and deliver higher operating margins and improved service for our clients over time. Looking ahead, we see tremendous cross-selling opportunities across our integrated services and will continue to strive to deliver superior client experiences.   Our optimism for continued strong, near-term growth is reinforced by our recent acquisitions and current expansion plans and new services, combined with our quarter-end backlog of $62.0 million.”

Q3 FY 2021 Review

Revenue increased 45.2% to $22.9 million, compared with $15.8 million in Q3 FY 2020 which was primarily driven by our service segment. Service segment revenue for Q3 FY 2021 increased 47.6% to $21.9 million, from $14.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in Service revenue was due to internal growth year over year as well as two months of revenue from the acquisitions of HistoTox Labs and Bolder BioPATH in Q3 FY 2021.

Cost of Service revenue as a percentage of Service revenue decreased to 67.1% in Q3 FY 2021, from 68.1% in the prior year period, reflecting greater utilization of recently expanded capacity.

Product segment revenue increased 6.0% to $1.0 million in Q3 FY 2021, from $0.9 million in the prior year period.  

Cost of Product revenue as a percentage of Product revenue decreased to 56.3% in Q3 FY 2021 from 64.4% in the prior year period, due to expense reductions implemented in the last half of FY 2020 and improved margins on existing sales.

Operating expenses increased by 68.7%, or $3.8 million, as the Company continued to build the infrastructure for growth, which included additional headcount, recruiting, relocation expense, sales commissions, non-cash stock compensation expense, costs associated with acquisitions and investments in building out new service offerings. Additionally, there was an increase in selling expenses due to an increase in travel cost as our sales and marketing teams have traveled more as the COVID-19 pandemic eases and an increase in commissions due to higher sales awards. During Q3 FY 2021, we began investing in additional service offerings that we brought in house such as laboratory solutions, medical device pathology, biotherapeutics and genetic toxicology.

The Company believes that unallocated corporate G&A as a percent of revenue will decline over the long-term as it continues to scale and grow its business. The Company’s long-term objective is for unallocated corporate G&A to reach between 6% and 8% of revenue.

Net loss in Q3 FY 2021 totaled $2.3 million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.9 million, or $(0.08) per diluted share in Q3 FY 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $2.2 million in Q3 FY 2021, compared to $894,000 in Q3 FY 2020.

9M FY 2021 Review

Total revenue increased 33.2% to $59.5 million in 9M FY 2021, from $44.7 million in the prior year period which was driven primarily by our Service segment. Service segment revenue for 9M FY 2021 increased 34.8% to $56.9 million, from $42.2 million in the prior year period. The majority of the increase in revenue was due to internal growth, augmented by $4.3 million of incremental revenue from two months of revenue from the acquisitions of HistoTox Labs and Bolder BioPATH in Q3 FY 2021.

Cost of Service revenue as a percentage of Service revenue decreased to 67.2% in 9M FY 2021, from 69.0% in the prior year period. The reduction in Cost of Service revenue as a percentage of Service revenue is due primarily to improved operating leverage and the greater utilization of recently expanded capacity.

Product segment revenue increased 6.4% to $2.7 million in 9M FY 2021, from $2.5 million in the prior year period, reflecting higher sales of analytical instruments, partially offset by a decrease in Culex in-vivo sampling systems and other instruments.  

Cost of Product revenue as a percentage of Product revenue in 9M FY 2021 decreased to 55.3%, from 68.9% in the prior year period, due to expense reductions implemented in the last half of FY 2020 and improved margins on existing sales.

Operating expenses in 9M FY 2021 increased year over year by 42.0%, or $6.5 million, as the Company continued to build the infrastructure for anticipated growth, which included additional headcount, recruiting, relocation expense, sales commissions, non-cash stock compensation expense, costs associated with acquisitions and investments in business development to build out new service offerings. For the 9M FY 2021, we began investing in additional service offerings such as software solutions and human resources to support existing internal expertise in the area of SEND (Standard for the Exchange of Nonclinical Data) data management and delivery investments in SEND reporting, safety pharmacology, clinical pathology, medical device pathology, biotherapeutics and genetic toxicology.

Net loss for 9M FY 2021 totaled $3.4 million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $5.0 million for 9M FY 2021, compared to $2.6 million for 9M FY 2020.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities and Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $24.7 million in cash and cash equivalents, a $0 balance and $5.0 million of availability on its general line of credit, and a $0.9 million balance on a $3.0 million equipment loan that is available until April 30, 2022.

In April 2021, the Company completed a public offering of 3,044,117 common shares. The net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses payable by the Company were approximately $49.0 million. A portion of the proceeds was used in April 2021 to close the acquisitions of HistoTox Labs and Bolder BioPATH.

Cash provided by operating activities was $8.0 million for 9M FY 2021, compared to $1.6 million in 9M FY 2020. For the nine months ended June 30, 2021, cash from operations, cash on hand, $1.3 million from an equipment line of credit and borrowings on a term loan of $2.1 million together funded capital expenditures of $8.4 million for the investment in laboratory equipment to increase capacity at all locations, facility improvements at the Fort Collins location and the purchase of our St. Louis facility.

Non-GAAP to GAAP Reconciliation

This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), including Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and selected business segment information for those periods. Adjusted EBITDA as reported herein refers to a financial performance measure that excludes from net income (loss) income statement line items interest expense and income taxes (benefit) expense, as well as non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, stock option (benefit) expense, United Kingdom lease liability reversal benefit, non-recurring acquisition and integration costs and other non-recurring third-party costs, such as recruiting costs, consulting fees related to the adoption of two accounting standards, and expenses for rebranding and new website launch. The adjusted business segment information excludes from operating income and unallocated corporate G&A these same expenses.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors. Among other things, they may help investors evaluate the Company’s ongoing operations. They can assist in making meaningful period-over-period comparisons and in identifying operating trends that would otherwise be masked or distorted by the items subject to the adjustments. Management uses these non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures as supplemental and in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of our results and to illustrate our results giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliation. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
