Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TARO) (“Taro” or the “Company”) today provided unaudited financial results for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2022.
Quarter ended September 30, 2022* Highlights ─ compared to September 30, 2021
- Net sales of $130.5 million decreased, principally due to the continued price decline particularly in the U.S. generic business, as well as a one-time gross-to-net (“GTN”) adjustment.
- Gross profit of $47.0 million (36.0% of net sales) compared to $62.0 million (47.0% of net sales).
- Research and development (R&D) expenses of $11.5 million decreased slightly.
- Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $42.3 million increased $18.6 million.
- Operating loss of $(6.8) million compared to operating income of $24.4 million. The current year quarter operating loss is primarily attributable to the aforementioned price erosion and GTN adjustment, as well as the on-going impact associated with the integration of our recent acquisition.
- Interest and other financial income of $4.3 million increased $1.9 million.
- Tax benefit of $2.1 million compared to tax expense of $6.1 million in the prior year quarter.
- Net loss attributable to Taro was $(2.8) million compared to net income of $23.3 million, resulting in (loss) per share of $(0.07) compared to earnings per share of $0.62. Excluding the impact from the settlement and loss contingencies charges in the prior year quarter, net income was $24.7 million, resulting in earnings per share of $0.66.

- SG&A of $98.4 million increased $50.7 million.
- Operating income of $7.2 million compared to $5.2 million, Excluding the impact from the settlement and loss contingencies charges in the prior year, operating income was $66.6 million. The current year operating income primarily reflects the six-month impact of the factors mentioned above.
- Interest and other financial income of $6.2 million increased from $5.4 million.
- Net income attributable to Taro was $11.3 million compared to $4.6 million, resulting in earnings per share of $0.30 compared to earnings per share of $0.12.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights
