Catalent Pharma Solutions Reports Fiscal 2008 Third Quarter Results



    Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc., one of the leading providers of

    advanced technologies and outsourced services to the global

    pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer health industry, announced

    its financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008.

    Catalent recognized net revenue of $453.3 million and EBITDA from

    continuing operations of $56.5 million for the three months then ended

    after giving effect to the Acquisition and related purchase method of

    accounting adjustments. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as detailed in the

    attached schedules for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 were $51.4

    million and $342.7 million, respectively. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are

    defined below under "Non-GAAP Financial

    Matters."
    Catalent´s President and Chief Executive

    Officer, John Lowry, said, "During the

    quarter, we achieved a significant milestone "“ we reached our first anniversary as a standalone company. Our separation

    from Cardinal Health was accomplished ahead of schedule and at a lower

    cost than originally planned. In the first nine months of fiscal 2008

    our revenue and EBITDA have grown 8.2% and 11.5%, respectively, over the

    prior year period. This growth is due to strength in our Oral and

    Sterile Technologies segments, as well as the global nature of our

    business. We continue to invest in our manufacturing network, our

    advanced technologies, and our capabilities. Our continued focus on

    Operational Excellence is helping us to improve performance and results

    particularly in our Sterile Technologies segment. Our Packaging Services

    segment has performed below our expectations, particularly in the North

    American market. We have taken initial actions to address this issue

    and expect to show improved performance over the next few quarters. We

    continue to see strong demand in the market for our offerings overall

    and believe that industry fundamentals will continue to drive

    outsourcing growth for the near term."
    Matthew Walsh, Catalent´s Chief Financial

    Officer stated, "Sterile Technologies´ financial performance continued to improve this quarter, with revenue up

    17.6% and EBITDA strongly ahead of prior year. We have also made

    significant strides in streamlining cash-cycle working capital, with a

    reduction of $35 million already achieved year-to-date this year. Our

    strong liquidity position has enabled us to pursue all of our growth

    plans."
    The definition of Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes costs related to the

    separation of Catalent from Cardinal Health, Inc. and costs related to

    The Blackstone Group´s acquisition of

    Catalent, among other items, and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to

    GAAP results are included in this press release.
    Results of Operations "“ Third Fiscal

    Quarter Ended March 31, 2008
    Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $453.3

    million, an increase of $15.4 million, or 3.5%, compared to $437.9

    million in the same period for 2007. The increase was primarily due to

    the effect of the weaker U.S. dollar, which favorably impacted our

    revenue growth by approximately six percentage points or $25.6 million.

    Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, net revenue decreased by

    $10.2 million, or 2.3%, primarily due to lower North American volumes in

    printed components and commercial packaging within our Packaging

    Services segment. Revenues from the Sterile Technologies segment grew by

    12.6% excluding foreign exchange rate impact, due to strong growth from

    both the new Brussels facility as well as from our blow-fill-seal

    business. Oral Technologies´ growth was led by Zydis®

    which experienced a nearly 22.5% growth in revenues on a constant dollar

    basis.
    Gross margin of $111.2 million decreased by 1.2% or $1.3 million

    compared to the same period for 2007. The weaker U.S. dollar favorably

    impacted our gross margin by approximately six percentage points.

    Approximately $2.2 million of additional depreciation and amortization

    expenses resulted from the increase in the value of property, plant and

    equipment recorded as part of the Acquisition.
    Selling, general and administrative expenses of $80.1 million increased

    by approximately 21.2%, or $14.0 million compared to the same period for

    2007. Selling, general and administrative expenses include additional

    depreciation and amortization expenses of approximately $10.1 million

    associated with the intangibles recorded in connection with the

    Acquisition and the increase in the value of property, plant and

    equipment recorded as part of the Acquisition. In addition, the weaker

    U.S. dollar increased our selling, general and administrative expenses

    by $3.0 million compared to the comparable period of the prior year.

    Excluding these fair value adjustments and the impact of foreign

    exchange rates, selling, general and administrative expenses increased

    slightly by $0.9 million.
    EBITDA from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31

    2008, was $56.5 million, a decrease of $5.7 million or 9.2%, compared to

    the same period for 2007. EBITDA in our Packaging Services segment

    decreased $5.2 million, or 31.3%, compared to the same period in 2007

    due primarily to lower North American volumes in printed components and

    commercial packaging. Our unallocated costs increased during the quarter

    primarily as a result of a $12.8 million unrealized loss on foreign

    currency translation related to intercompany loans denominated in

    non-U.S. currencies. These decreases were partially offset by increased

    EBITDA in our Sterile Technologies segment of $6.5 million due to strong

    performance of our blow-fill-seal business, and continued growing demand

    at our new pre-filled syringe facility in Brussels, Belgium. EBITDA for

    the Oral Technologies segment increased by $3.2 million compared to the

    same period in 2007, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign

    currency translation.
    Results of Operations "“ Nine Months Ended

    March 31, 2008
    Net revenue of $1,355.3 million increased 8.2% or $102.4 million

    compared to the same period for 2007. The weaker U.S. dollar favorably

    impacted our revenue growth by approximately six percentage points, or

    $70.7 million. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, net

    revenue increased by $31.7 million or 2.5%, primarily due to increased

    volumes and throughput within our Sterile Technologies segment including

    increased output from our new sterile facility in Belgium.
    Gross margin of $323.8 million increased by 5.8%, or $17.7 million

    compared to the same period for 2007. The gross margin for the nine

    months ended March 31, 2008 included an inventory charge and other

    adjustments of approximately $11.0 million, approximately $10.0 million

    of which was non-cash, within our Oral Technologies segment. Excluding

    these inventory and other adjustments, gross margin increased by 9.4% or

    $28.7 million, primarily due to increased revenues and improved

    utilization within our Sterile Technologies segment. The weaker U.S.

    dollar favorably impacted our gross margin by approximately six

    percentage points.
    Selling, general and administrative expenses of $238.6 million increased

    by approximately 11.4%, or $24.4 million compared to the same period for

    2007. The increase is attributable to additional depreciation and

    amortization expense of approximately $30.4 million associated with the

    intangibles recorded in connection with the Acquisition and the increase

    in the value of property, plant and equipment recorded as part of the

    Acquisition. In addition, the weaker U.S. dollar increased our selling

    general and administrative expenses by $7.9 million compared to the

    comparable period of the prior year. Excluding these fair value

    adjustments and the impact of foreign exchange rates, selling, general

    and administrative expenses decreased by $13.9 million or 6.5%

    primarily as a result of savings achieved as a standalone company.
    EBITDA from continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31

    2008, was $159.1 million, an increase of $16.4 million, or 11.5%

    compared to the same period for 2007. Sterile Technologies segment

    EBITDA increased by $21.9 million primarily due to increased revenues

    and improved utilization of our sterile facilities, including the

    ramp-up of our new facility in Belgium. The weaker U.S. dollar favorably

    impacted the Sterile Technologies segment´s

    EBITDA growth by approximately $1.0 million. The Oral Technologies

    segment EBITDA increased by 3.5%, or $5.5 million compared to the same

    period a year ago. This result included the same charge of $11.0 million

    discussed above. In addition, the segment´s

    EBITDA was favorably impacted by the weaker U.S. dollar by approximately

    6 percentage points, or $9.3 million. Excluding the impact of these

    items, the Oral Technologies segment´s EBITDA

    increased by approximately 4.6% or $7.2 million primarily due to

    increased revenues within the controlled release and Zydis® businesses. The Packaging Services segment EBITDA increased by $0.2

    million, primarily due to the impact of favorable foreign exchange

    rates, which increased segment EBITDA by five percentage points, or $2.5

    million. Excluding foreign exchange translation, EBITDA for the

    Packaging Services segment declined $2.3 million relative to the prior

    year period principally due to lower volumes primarily in our North

    American printed components and packaging facilities realized largely in

    the third quarter.
    The Acquisition
    On April 10, 2007, an entity controlled by affiliates of The Blackstone

    Group acquired from Cardinal Health, Inc. ("Cardinal")

    certain businesses of the Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services

    segment (the "Acquired Businesses")

    of Cardinal, which now constitute the Company, for an aggregate purchase

    price of approximately $3.3 billion (the "Acquisition").

    The Company has performed an evaluation of the fair values of the real

    and personal property, inventory and certain identifiable intangible

    assets in connection with the purchase price allocation related to the

    Acquisition. The valuation study resulted in a fair value step-up to

    real and personal property, inventory and certain identifiable

    intangible assets. Catalent is in the process of finalizing its purchase

    accounting information. In connection with the Acquisition, Catalent

    entered into a senior secured credit facility, consisting of an

    approximate $1.4 billion aggregate principal term loan, a $350.0 million

    revolving credit facility and issued $565.0 million of 9 ½%/

    10 ¼% Senior PIK-Election Notes due 2015 and

    EUR 225.0 million of 9 ¾% Euro-denominated

    ($300.3 million dollar equivalent) Senior Subordinated Notes due 2017.
    Basis of Presentation
    These unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the three

    and nine months ended March 31, 2008, present the consolidated financial

    position, results of operations and cash flows of Catalent (the "Successor")

    as a stand-alone entity and the combined financial position, results of

    operations and cash flows of the Acquired Businesses when operated as

    part of the Pharmaceutical Technologies and Services ("PTS")

    segment of Cardinal (hereinafter, the "Predecessor")

    for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, including

    adjustments, allocations and related party transactions and have been

    prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in

    the United States ("GAAP").
    The Predecessor´s unaudited financial

    statements were derived from the consolidated financial statements of

    Cardinal using the historical results of operations and the historical

    basis of assets and liabilities of the Predecessor. The Predecessor

    unaudited condensed financial statements presented may not be indicative

    of the results that would have been achieved had the Predecessor

    operated as a separate, stand-alone entity.
    Non-GAAP Financial Matters
    In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in

    accordance with US GAAP, Catalent discloses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

    which are non-GAAP measures. You should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted

    EBITDA as an alternative to operating or net earnings, determined in

    accordance with US GAAP, as an indicator of Catalent´s operating

    performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating

    activities, determined in accordance with US GAAP, as an indicator of

    cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is calculated by the

    sum of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
    The Company´s credit facilities and the indentures governing the

    outstanding notes have certain covenants that use ratios utilizing a

    measure referred to as Adjusted EBITDA ("Adjusted EBITDA"). The

    supplementary adjustments to EBITDA to derive Adjusted EBITDA may not be

    in accordance with current SEC practices or the rules and regulations

    adopted by the SEC that apply to periodic reports filed under the

    Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, the SEC may require that

    Adjusted EBITDA be presented differently in filings that may be made

    with the SEC than as presented in this release, or not be presented at

    all. The most directly comparable US GAAP measure to EBITDA and Adjusted

    EBITDA is net earnings (loss). Included in this release is a

    reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to EBITDA and to Adjusted EBITDA.
    Forward-Looking Statements
    This release contains both historical and forward-looking statements.

    All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be

    deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section

    27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the

    Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking

    statements generally can be identified by the use of statements that

    include phrases such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate"

    "intend", "estimate"

    "plan", "project"

    "foresee", "likely"

    "may", "will"

    "would" or other

    words or phrases with similar meanings. Similarly, statements that

    describe our objectives, plans or goals are, or may be, forward-looking

    statements. These statements are based on current expectations of future

    events. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or

    uncertainties materialize, actual results could vary materially from

    Catalent Pharma Solutions´ expectations and

    projections. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to

    differ include, but are not limited to, the following: general industry

    conditions and competition; product or other liability risk inherent in

    the design, development, manufacture and marketing of our offerings;

    inability to enhance our existing or introduce new technology or

    services in a timely manner; economic conditions, such as interest rate

    and currency exchange rate fluctuations; technological advances and

    patents attained by competitors; and our substantial debt and debt

    service requirements that restrict our operating and financial

    flexibility and impose significant interest and financial costs. For a

    more detailed discussion of these and other factors, see the information

    under the caption "Risk Factors" in our prospectus dated March 6, 2008, filed with the Securities and

    Exchange Commission on March 6, 2008. All forward-looking statements

    speak only as of the date of this release or as of the date they are

    made, and Catalent Pharma Solutions does not undertake to update any

    forward- looking statements as a result of new information or future

    events or developments unless required by law.

    (1) During the quarters ended September 30, 2007

    and December 31, 2007, Catalent did not exclude the unrealized foreign

    currency loss from the Adjusted EBITDA that is recorded within other

    expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The

    unrealized foreign currency loss should have been excluded per the

    definition in Catalent´s credit agreement. The realized foreign exchange

    gain/(loss) continues to be included in the Adjusted EBITDA.
    Catalent has adjusted the Last Twelve Months Adjusted EBITDA for the

    quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 to reflect the

    exclusion of the unrealized foreign currency loss.
