Cipher Pharmaceuticals (TSX:DND)

Revenue increases to $5.6 million and earnings per share rise to $0.14

MISSISSAUGA,, ON, Oct. 30, 2013 /CNW/ - Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: DND) ("Cipher") today announced its financial and operational results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Q3 2013 Highlights

•Net revenue increased to $5.6 million, from $2.1 million in Q3 2012.

•EBITDA1 of $3.6 million versus $1.0 million in Q3 2012.

•Net income was $3.4 million, or $0.14 per share, compared with net income of $0.08 million, or $0.03 per share, in Q3 2012.

•Cash balance increased to $20.0 million at quarter end, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012 and $17.8 million at June 30, 2013.

•Launched Epuris™ (isotretinoin) capsules in the Canadian market.

"Absorica™ performed well again in the third quarter, with market share increasing to 17.3%2 by September from 13.1% in June, resulting in strong increases in our revenue, earnings and cash," said Larry Andrews, President and CEO of Cipher. "While Epuris™ was only launched recently, feedback from the Canadian dermatology community has been very encouraging. With a healthy financial position, we continue to pursue growth through product portfolio expansion and new out-licensing agreements for our current products in other regions."

Financial Review

Net revenue for Q3 2013 was $5.6 million, compared with $2.1 million in Q3 2012. The year-over-year increase was mainly driven by the success of Absorica™, which contributed $4.5 million of net revenue in Q3 2013 versus $0.5 million in Q3 2012.

Net revenue from Lipofen® was $0.6 million in Q3 2013, compared with $1.3 million in Q3 2012. The comparable period in 2012 benefited from $0.4 million in revenue from a retroactive increase in Cipher's royalty percentage.

Net revenue from the Company's extended release tramadol product (ConZip®/Durela®) increased to $0.5 million in Q3 2013, compared with $0.3 million in Q3 2012.

Research and Development expense in Q3 2013 was $0.4 million, a slight increase over $0.3 million in Q3 2012. Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses for Q3 2013 increased to $1.7 million, compared to $0.8 million in Q3 2012. The year-over-year increase in SG&A reflects the build out of the Company's commercial infrastructure in Canada to support the launch of Epuris™ and future products.

Net income in Q3 2013 grew to $3.4 million, or $0.14 per share ($0.13 per share on a fully diluted basis), compared with net income of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per share, in Q3 2012.
The Company's cash position increased at quarter end. As at September 30, 2013, Cipher had cash and cash equivalents of $20.0 million, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012.

1 EBITDA - Non-IFRS Financial Measure: the term EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) does not have any standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation of property and equipment, amortization of intangible assets and non-cash share-based compensation.

Product Update

Absorica™/Epuris™ (CIP-ISOTRETINOIN)
Absorica™ was released in the U.S. market in late November 2012. The product has performed well to date, achieving 17.3% market share by September 2013, compared to 13.1% in June 2013, based on total isotretinoin prescriptions. In addition, the overall U.S. isotretinoin market continues to show growth. Prescriptions increased by 15%3 in the nine months of 2013 and by 19%4 in Q3 2013, over the comparable periods in the prior year. While total U.S. prescriptions increased year-over-year, they declined from Q2 2013 to Q3 2013. This is consistent with the historical seasonal pattern that has seen total U.S. isotretinoin prescriptions decrease by approximately 11% from Q2 (the summer months) to Q3. Based on Absorica's strong sales performance to-date, Cipher expects to achieve a US$10.0 million milestone payment by the end of Q1 2014 at the latest (50% of which would be shared with its technology partner, Galephar Pharmaceutical Research).

In September 2013, Cipher's partner Ranbaxy received a Paragraph IV Certification Notice of filing from Watson Laboratories Inc. ("Watson") of an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") to the FDA for a generic version of Absorica™.

Ranbaxy and Cipher intend to vigorously defend Absorica's intellectual property rights and pursue all available legal and regulatory pathways in defense of the product. Cipher has been advised by Ranbaxy that this development has no impact on current sales and marketing plans for the product, and that Ranbaxy plans to continue to invest in Absorica™ to increase sales and market penetration.

CIP-ISOTRETINOIN was approved by Health Canada in Q4 2012 under the trade name Epuris™. Cipher launched Epuris™ in early July 2013, supported by a field sales force of six full-time representatives and one part-time representative.
Lipofen® (CIP-FENOFIBRATE)

In Q3 2013, new prescriptions for Lipofen® were 6% below Q3 2012 levels. Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Cipher's U.S. marketing partner for Lipofen®, plans to continue to promote the product in a second detail position for the remainder of 2013.

ConZip®/Durela® (CIP-TRAMADOL ER)
Cipher's extended-release tramadol is marketed in the U.S. by Vertical Pharmaceuticals under the trade name ConZip®. In Q1 2013, Vertical expanded its sales force from 60 to 75 representatives, which has contributed to modestly improved performance. In Q3 2013, prescriptions grew 3% compared to Q3 2012. In Canada, Medical Futures launched the product in March 2012 under the trade name Durela®, with a dedicated sales force comprising 22 representatives. Following its strong performance in Q2 2013, the product continued to demonstrate steady improvement, with a 25% growth in sales during Q3 2013.

In Q2 2013, Cipher out-licensed the Latin American distribution rights for CIP-TRAMADOL ER to Tecnofarma International Ltd. Cipher is working closely with Tecnofarma in preparing regulatory submissions for certain countries in Latin America.
Cipher is also actively pursuing marketing partners for CIP-TRAMADOL ER and CIP-ISOTRETINOIN in other territories.
Other Products

In Q3 2012, Cipher obtained exclusive license and distribution rights in Canada to market the Betesil® Patch, a novel, patent-protected, self-adhesive medicated plaster for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as plaque psoriasis. The efficacy and safety of the Betesil® Patch has been established in three successful phase III trials, and the product is currently marketed in several European countries. Cipher is working with its partner, Institut Biochimique SA, on a New Drug Submission for the product, and will provide additional detail on expected timelines and plans in the coming months.

In addition, the Company is seeking other late-stage to commercial-stage product candidates targeting specialty markets to support its commercial marketing and sales presence in Canada.

So if Absorica is protected by patent until 2021, why would this filing concern anyone? Watson would have to get a go-ahead, and if the patent is worth anything at all, shouldn't Watson be summarily denied their application?

Is this really about fearing how others might fear this?

CPHMF..$8.8738 With Chart..

A case for $25.00 per share in 2014.. Looking for doubters with reasons why I'm wrong.. You gotta love the chart..


Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. Announces Unaudited Earnings Results for the Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013; Provides Revenue Guidance for 2013.. Earnings were $0.12 CAD fully diluted for for the second Qtr. while earnings were $0.18 CAD for six months.. I think earnings could exceed projections by some analysts by as much as 100% for the year..

I think that in the third Qtr,, CPHMF could earn at lest $0.19 and in the forth Qtr. earnings could exceed $0.25.. This would give EPS. at $0.62. for the year on a conservative basis and a runrate going into 2014 of at least $1.00 but I think that $1.25 will fall short of real numbers created.. This stock is cheap and the reason I bought my position back yesterday.. Analysts project $0.40 EPS this year and $0.60 EPS in 2014.. At present w/o any growth CPHMF has a $0.48 run rate which already exceed Analysts opinions.. Then there is always a take over by a major that just wants thier drugs and expertise in thier space.. hank

CPHMF.. $5.45.. Cipher reports record financial results for Q2 2013

Revenue increases to $5.5 million; Company records earnings per share of $0.13... Toronto Stock Exchange Symbol: DND

MISSISSAUGA, ON, July 31, 2013 /CNW/ - Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: DND) ("Cipher") today announced its financial and operational results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Q2 2013 Highlights

•Net revenue increased to $5.5 million, from $1.6 million in Q2 2012.
•EBITDA of $3.3 million versus $0.4 million in Q2 2012.
•Net income was $3.1 million, or $0.13 per basic share, compared with net income of $0.02 million, or $0.01 per basic share, in Q2 2012.
•Cash balance increased to $17.8 million at quarter end, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012 and $16.5 million at March 31, 2013.
•Out-licensed Latin American distribution rights for CIP-TRAMADOL ER to Tecnofarma International Ltd.
•Subsequent to quarter end, announced the Canadian launch of Epuris™ (isotretinoin) capsules.
"The continued strong growth of Absorica™ drove significant gains in our revenue, earnings and cash for the second quarter," said Larry Andrews, President and CEO of Cipher. "The product was up to 13.1% share of the U.S. isotretinoin market by June, from 7.5% at the end of Q11, and the feedback from our marketing partner Ranbaxy has been very positive. We launched the product in Canada in late June with our own sales force and are pursuing out-licensing agreements in other markets. We are also looking at opportunities to expand our product portfolio."

Financial Review and Outlook

Net revenue for Q2 2013 was $5.5 million, compared with $1.6 million in Q2 2012. The year-over-year increase was mainly driven by the success of Absorica™, which contributed $4.2 million of net revenue in Q2 2013 versus $0.3 million in Q2 2012.
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Absorica™/Epuris™ (CIP-ISOTRETINOIN)
Absorica™ was released in the U.S. market in late November 2012. The product has performed strongly to date, achieving 13.1% market share by June 2013, based on total isotretinoin prescriptions. In addition, the overall U.S. isotretinoin market continues to show growth. Prescriptions increased by 15%2 in the first half of 2013 and by 17%3 in Q2 2013, over the comparable periods in the prior year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Net revenue from Lipofen® was $0.8 million in Q2 2013, compared with $0.9 million in Q2 2012. Net revenue from the Company's extended release tramadol product (ConZip®/Durela®) increased to $0.5 million in Q2 2013, compared with $0.4 million in Q2 2012.

Research and Development expense in Q2 2013 was $0.3 million, the same level as incurred in Q2 2012. Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") expenses for Q2 2013 increased to $1.9 million, compared to $0.9 million in Q2 2012. The year-over-year increase in SG&A reflects the planned build out of the Company's commercial infrastructure in Canada to support the launch of Epuris™ and future products. The Company incurred approximately $0.5 million of one-time costs to support the June 2013 launch of Epuris™.

Net income in Q2 2013 grew to $3.1 million, or $0.13 per basic share ($0.12 per diluted share), compared with net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, in Q2 2012.

The Company's cash position increased at quarter end. As at June 30, 2013, Cipher had cash and cash equivalents of $17.8 million, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012.

For the second half of fiscal 2013, Cipher expects continued aggregate revenue growth from its currently marketed products and the recent introduction of Epuris™ in Canada. In particular, the Company expects the full-year contribution of Absorica™ to be a primary revenue driver. In 2013, Cipher will be investing in commercial sales and marketing capabilities in Canada. The Company expects an increase in operating expenses of approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million during the balance of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, related to the launch of Epuris™ in Canada. Cipher expects its revenue growth to continue to offset the additional spending required to build its commercial infrastructure in Canada.

Product Update

Absorica™/Epuris™ (CIP-ISOTRETINOIN)
Absorica™ was released in the U.S. market in late November 2012. The product has performed strongly to date, achieving 13.1% market share by June 2013, based on total isotretinoin prescriptions. In addition, the overall U.S. isotretinoin market continues to show growth. Prescriptions increased by 15%2 in the first half of 2013 and by 17%3 in Q2 2013, over the comparable periods in the prior year.

The product was also approved by Health Canada in Q4 2012 under the trade name Epuris™. Cipher launched Epuris™ in June 2013, supported by a field sales force of six fully dedicated representatives.

Lipofen® (CIP-FENOFIBRATE)
In Q2 2013, Lipofen® prescriptions were 6% below Q2 2012 levels, however, Cipher's royalty increased over the period due to the 3% increase in the royalty rate compared to prior year. Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Cipher's U.S. marketing partner for Lipofen®, plans to continue to promote the product in a second detail position throughout the remainder of 2013.

ConZip®/Durela® (CIP-TRAMADOL ER)
Cipher's extended-release tramadol is marketed in the U.S. by Vertical Pharmaceuticals under the trade name ConZip®. In Q1 2013, Vertical expanded its sales force from 60 to 75 representatives, which has contributed to improved performance. In Q2 2013, prescriptions grew 5% compared to Q2 2012. In Canada, Medical Futures launched the product in March 2012 under the trade name Durela®, with a dedicated sales force comprising 22 representatives. The product demonstrated steady improvement and market share growth during Q2 2013.

Cipher is actively pursuing marketing partners for CIP-TRAMADOL ER and CIP-ISOTRETINOIN in other territories, including Latin America. During Q2 2013, Cipher granted the Latin American distribution rights to CIP-TRAMADOL ER to Tecnofarma International Ltd. Tecnofarma, headquartered in Uruguay, operates in 18 Latin American countries and following regulatory approval, plans to launch the product in several jurisdictions, including Brazil and Mexico.

Other Products
In Q3 2012, Cipher obtained exclusive license and distribution rights in Canada to market the Betesil® Patch, a novel, patent-protected, self-adhesive medicated plaster for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as plaque psoriasis. The efficacy and safety of the Betesil® Patch has been established in three successful phase III trials, and the product is currently marketed in several European countries. Cipher is working toward completion of a New Drug Submission for the product and will provide additional detail on expected timelines and plans in the coming months.

In addition, the Company is seeking other late-stage to commercial-stage product candidates targeting specialty markets to support its commercial marketing and sales presence in Canada.

Re: 10 bagger post# 8712 Post # of 8891

Thanks Hank, I 've been off the grid, camping along the California coast and missed alot of this run up. Probably a good thing as I would have been tempted to begin selling too early.

RX and CPHMF, both of which I bet big on, have been a hell of a one two punch for my finances. The volatility in Biosyent's share price shook me out of over half my position, but still I have a large position in the company.

I'll pass along any ideas I get. Tough to find bargains in this market. I think Munger said something like he hopes to average one good idea every two years

CPHMF.. $6.52 New High

CPHMF.. $3.5849 USD.. Since that last post CPHMF is up 18.65% and I have tried to build a position.. While I have surpassed the $$$ position I once had in BIOYF I still would like to add on down dips if any occur..

It should not be considered cheap by VMC standrds but IMO as it is selling for a PE of less than 12 on projected earnings of this year,, with a nose bleed growth rate cheap enough to warrent a major position in my portfolios.. I believe all projections in the report below will be exceeded by at least 25%....

Analyst Note
Cipher Posts Solid 2012 Financial Results
03/01/2013
Download this Press Release ()
By Jason Napodano, CFA

On March 1, 2013, Cipher Pharmaceuticals (Toronto:DND.TO) / (OTC Markets:CPHMF) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. Total revenues in the fourth quarter were $2.9 million, up 177% over the fourth quarter 2011 and nicely ahead of our estimate for revenues of $2.4 million. The revenue up-tick was driven by milestone recognition and royalties from Ranbaxy on the newly launched Absorica (CIP-Isotretinoin), which hit the market in November 2012.

A Copy Of Our Full Report Can Be Downloaded Here >> Cipher/Napodano_3/1/2013

For the full year 2012, total revenues were $8.5 million, up 137% over revenues for the full year 2011. The growth in revenues year-over-year reflects the strong performance of Lipofen (CIP-fenofibrate), including an increase in product shipments and the achievement of a $1.0 million sales milestone in the first quarter 2012. Lipofen contributed $4.6 million in revenues in 2012, up from $2.2 million in 2011. ConZip and Durela (CIP-Tramadol-ER) contributed another $1.4 million in revenues in 2012, up from $0.8 million in 2011. Absorica contributed $2.6 million in revenues in 2012, up from $0.6 million in 2011.

Operating expenses for the full year 2012 totaled approximately $6.0 million, flat with 2011. R&D expense at $1.5 million was down meaningfully from $2.2 million in 2011. OG&A expense at $3.5 million was up slightly from $3.2 million in 2011. Net income for the fourth quarter 2012 totaled $1.6 million, or $0.06 per share. This was nicely ahead of our forecast for net income of $1.2 million, or $0.4 per share. Net income in the fourth quarter 2012 compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter 2011. For the full year 2012, net income totaled $2.5 million, or $0.10 per share. This compared to a loss of $2.3 million in 2011.

We are impressed that the company can grow its top-line by 137% while keeping expenses essentially flat. Cipher now has 3 products on the market with Lipofen, ConZip/Durela, and the recently launched Absorica. In the past we’ve written that Absorica is a game-changer for Cipher. Cipher plans to launch Epuris in Canada during the second half of 2013, and should be in position to file for approval of Betesil Patch in Canada by the end of the year. Cipher exited 2012 with approximately $15.3 million in cash and investments, up nicely from the $9.6 million balance at the end of 2011. In fact, Cipher grew its cash balance each quarter throughout 2013. We find the current balance sufficient to fund operations for the foreseeable future, as we believe that Cipher will continue to report positive cash flow throughout 2013 even in the face of building a specialty dermatology sales force to promote Epuris and Betesil Patch in Canada.

…Stock Still Attractive…

Based on our financial projections, Cipher should report total revenues in 2013 of around $13.8 million, with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.22 per share. This equates to a P/E ratio of only 11.1x our 2013 figure. In 2014, we model growth in revenues to $21.3 million, net income of $10.1 million and EPS of $0.40. A P/E ratio of 10x our 2014 estimate for $0.40 in EPS yields a price target of $4.00 per share.

Hank, this is the VMC Board. Which stock looks better to you?


Stock A. Stock B
P/S: 3.14 10.3
P/B: 5.56 7.3
P/E: 10.91 27.45
ROE: 77% 33%


Stock A is BIOYF and Stock B is CPHMF.

I think both stocks offer good opportunities, but BIOYF is a better "value" by most measures.

These companies do not compete and their comparison is a bit of "apples and oranges", if not completely bananas. "Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed in them." - Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Economy, 1854

CPHMF - I bought more this morning. I paused after buying my initially figuring I'd wait for a pullback which never came.

According to the CC the Isotrenton market in the U.S. has grown to $800MM of which Absorbica is at 7.5% market share right now after five months on the market. I think peak sales of Absorbica could be much higher than the $200MM figure in Jason Napadono's March Zachs report. Being the only promoted Isotrenton in the US, and having the dosing flexibility, I don't see why this shouldn't become bigger than Clarivis which is a $350MM product.

A double this year should be easy. This is easy money.

CPHMF.. $3.928..

CPHMF.. $3.828,, BIOYF.. $1.15..

So Far this has been a good swap.. I sold all My BIOYF (125,000 shares,, cost basis $0.31..) around $1.30 USD and put that money into CPHMF around $3.10.. The Growth rate will accelerate on CPHMF while BIOYF will have to start paying taxes on it's earnings.. This seemed like such a simple win-win..

I think CPHMF although rarley traded USD has a good possibility of becomming a double from here this year.. hank

CPHMF.. $3.79

CPHMF.. $3.76.. Cipher reports record financial results for Q1 2013.. - Revenue increases 82%, Company records earnings of $0.06 per share -

MISSISSAUGA, ON, May 3, 2013 /CNW/ - Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX: DND); (OTC: CPHMF) today announced its financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Q1 2013 Highlights

•Net revenue increased by 82% over Q1 2012 to $3.3 million.
•EBITDA of $ 1.7 million versus $0.3 million in Q1 2012.
•Net income was $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, in Q1 2012.
•Cash balance increased to $16.5 million at quarter end, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012 and $10.1 million at March 31, 2012.
•Expanded management team with the addition of Joan Chypyha as Vice President, Marketing and Sales.
•Subsequent to quarter end, out-licensed Latin American distribution rights for CIP-TRAMADOL ER to Tecnofarma International Ltd.
"We delivered record financial performance in the first quarter, reflecting the addition of new product revenue streams, especially the strong early results from Absorica," said Larry Andrews, President and CEO of Cipher. "Building off this good start to the year, we are working toward the Canadian launch of Epuris by Q3 and have recently added experienced marketing and sales leadership to help us build our commercial presence in Canada. In addition, we recently licensed out the Latin American rights for our extended-release tramadol product to Tecnofarma International, which has deep experience in pain therapeutics and a large sales team in the region."

Financial Review and Outlook

Net revenue for Q1 2013 was $3.3 million, an increase of 82% compared with $1.8 million in Q1 2012. The contribution from Absorica™ was particularly strong in Q1 2013, with net revenue of $2.0 million, compared with $0.1 million in Q1 2012.

Net revenue from Lipofen® was $0.8 million in Q1 2013, compared with $1.4 million in Q1 2012. In Q1 2012, the Company received a milestone payment that contributed $0.5 million in net revenue for the quarter. Net revenue from the Company's extended release tramadol product (ConZip®/Durela®) increased to $0.5 million in Q1 2013, compared with $0.3 million in Q1 2012.

Research and Development expense decreased in Q1 2013 to $0.3 million, compared with $0.5 million in Q1 2012. Operating, General and Administrative expenses for Q1 2013 were $1.3 million, compared to $1.1 million in Q1 2012.

Net income in Q1 2013 grew to $1.5 million, or $0.06 per share, compared with net income of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, in Q1 2012.

The Company's cash position increased at quarter end. As at March 31, 2013, Cipher had cash and cash equivalents of $16.5 million, compared with $15.8 million at December 31, 2012.

For the balance of fiscal 2013, Cipher expects continued revenue growth from its currently marketed products and the introduction of Epuris™ in Canada during the second half of 2013. In particular, the Company expects the full-year contribution of Absorica™ to be a primary revenue driver. In 2013, Cipher will be investing in commercial sales and marketing capabilities in Canada. The Company expects an increase in operating expenses of approximately $2.0 million to $2.5 million during the balance of 2013 related to the launch of Epuris™ in Canada and to support other growth initiatives. In addition to one-time launch costs associated with marketing promotion and market access for Epuris™, the Company plans to deploy a 6 to 8 person field sales force in the second half of 2013.

Cipher expects the revenue growth in 2013 to offset the additional spending required to build its commercial infrastructure in Canada.

Product Update

CIP-ISOTRETINOIN (Absorica™/Epuris™)
Absorica™ was released in the U.S. market in late November 2012. The product has performed well to date, achieving 7.5% market share by March 2013, based on total isotretinoin prescriptions. The overall U.S. isotretinoin market grew in 2012, with prescriptions increasing 11% over the prior year, and this growth has continued into 2013 with Q1 2013 prescriptions increasing 13% over the same period in the prior year.

The product was also approved by Health Canada in Q4 2012 under the trade name Epuris™. The Company is preparing to launch Epuris™ by Q3 2013 and has commenced pre-commercial activities.

Lipofen®
Lipofen® prescriptions in Q1 2013 were 4% ahead of Q1 2012 levels, and the product continues to be promoted in second detail position by Cipher's partner.

CIP-TRAMADOL ER (ConZip®/Durela®)
Cipher's extended-release tramadol was launched in the U.S. by Vertical Pharmaceuticals in September 2011 under the trade name ConZip®. Subsequent to year end, Vertical expanded its sales force to 75 representatives, which has contributed to improved performance. In Q1 2013, prescriptions grew 15% compared to Q1 2012. In Canada, Medical Futures launched the product in March 2012 under the trade name Durela®, with a dedicated sales force comprising 22 representatives. While sales to date have been below expectations, there was continued steady improvement and growth during Q1 2013.

Cipher is actively pursuing marketing partners for CIP-TRAMADOL ER and CIP-ISOTRETINOIN in other territories, including Latin America. Subsequent to quarter end, Cipher announced that the Latin American distribution rights to CIP-TRAMADOL ER have been granted to Tecnofarma International Ltd. Tecnofarma, headquartered in Uruguay, operates in 18 Latin American countries and will launch the product in certain territories, including Brazil and Mexico.

Other Products
In Q3 2012, Cipher obtained exclusive license and distribution rights in Canada to market the Betesil® Patch, a novel, patent-protected, self-adhesive medicated plaster for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions such as plaque psoriasis. The efficacy and safety of the Betesil® Patch has been established in three successful phase III trials, and the product is currently marketed in several European countries. Cipher is working toward completion of a New Drug Submission for the product and will provide additional detail on expected timelines and plans in the coming months.

In addition, the Company is seeking other late-stage to commercial-stage product candidates in specialty markets to support its Canadian commercial strategy.

http://micro.newswire.ca/55305-0.html

Cipher Pharmaceuticals (TSX: DND) (OTC: CPHMF) is a growing specialty pharmaceutical company that commercializes novel formulations of successful, currently marketed molecules. Cipher's strategy is to in-license clearly differentiated products, advance them through the clinical development and regulatory approval stages, and out-license to international marketing partners. For more information, please visit www.cipherpharma.com.

Cipher's first product is a fenofibrate formulation marketed in the United States as Lipofen®. Cipher's second product, an extended-release tramadol, is marketed in the United States as ConZip® and in Canada as Durela®. Cipher's third product, a novel formulation of the acne treatment isotretinoin, was approved by the FDA in May and was launched in the United States in Q4 2012 as Absorica™. The product was also recently approved by Health Canada and Cipher expects to launch it as Epuris™ in Canada in early Q3 2013.

Mississauga-based Cipher Pharmaceuticals is a spinoff of CML Healthcare, a more than three-decades old medical imaging company that shed its drug development division, which was burning cash, when it decided to convert to an income trust. The resulting spinoff, Cipher, transitioned from being defined by its relative risk to being notable for its comparative safety. Unlike many of its newfound peers, Cipher has carved out a sweet spot in the middle of the drug development process, identifying late stage product candidates with near term market potential.

Last year was a good one for Cipher Pharma, especially after May when the company announced it had received FDA approval for acne treatment Absorica. Absorica was the third Cipher product to receive regulatory approval. Since 2007, the company has derived most of its revenue from cholesterol treatment drug Lipofen, and in Q3 of last year it began to market ConZip, a Tramadol treatment for moderate to moderately severe chronic pain.

Cipher management, however, believes Absorica could be the first Cipher product to be truly differentiated from its competition.

While Lipofen and Conzip have found niche markets, the products were not first to market and competed in relatively crowded spaces. Loe points out that in the first two months alone, Absorica achieved 3.6% prescription market share against lower-priced generic alternatives.
Absorica is a trademark of Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited

Lidose is a registered trademark of SMB Laboratories.

Re: 10 bagger post# 4774 Post # of 4945

CPHMF.. $3.5849 USD.. Since that last post CPHMF is up 18.65% and I have tried to build a position.. While I have surpassed the position I once had in BIOYF I still would like to add on down dips if any occur..

It should not be considered cheap by VMC standrds but IMO as it is selling for a PE of less than 12 on projected earnings of this year,, with a nose bleed growth rate cheap enough to warrent a major position in my portfolios.. I believe all projections in the report below will be exceeded by at least 40%....

Cipher Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is a pharmaceutical company, which is focused on commercializing novel formulations of marketed molecules by using advanced drug delivery technologies. The company has three in-licensed products, which includes Lipofen, Conzip/Durela, and CIP-ISOTRETINOIN. The Lipofen is a novel, patented formulation of the active ingredient fenofibrate, which is used in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, a cholesterol disorder. The ConZip/ Durela is a novel, extended-release formulation of the active ingredient tramadol, which is used for the management of moderate to moderately severe chronic pain. The CIP-ISOTRETINOIN is an innovative formulation of the active ingredient isotretinoin, which is used in the treatment of severe acne. The company was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Mississauga, Canada.

Analyst Note
Cipher Posts Solid 2012 Financial Results
03/01/2013
Download this Press Release ()
By Jason Napodano, CFA

On March 1, 2013, Cipher Pharmaceuticals (Toronto:DND.TO) / (OTC Markets:CPHMF) reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012. Total revenues in the fourth quarter were $2.9 million, up 177% over the fourth quarter 2011 and nicely ahead of our estimate for revenues of $2.4 million. The revenue up-tick was driven by milestone recognition and royalties from Ranbaxy on the newly launched Absorica (CIP-Isotretinoin), which hit the market in November 2012.

A Copy Of Our Full Report Can Be Downloaded Here >> Cipher/Napodano_3/1/2013

For the full year 2012, total revenues were $8.5 million, up 137% over revenues for the full year 2011. The growth in revenues year-over-year reflects the strong performance of Lipofen (CIP-fenofibrate), including an increase in product shipments and the achievement of a $1.0 million sales milestone in the first quarter 2012. Lipofen contributed $4.6 million in revenues in 2012, up from $2.2 million in 2011. ConZip and Durela (CIP-Tramadol-ER) contributed another $1.4 million in revenues in 2012, up from $0.8 million in 2011. Absorica contributed $2.6 million in revenues in 2012, up from $0.6 million in 2011.

Operating expenses for the full year 2012 totaled approximately $6.0 million, flat with 2011. R&D expense at $1.5 million was down meaningfully from $2.2 million in 2011. OG&A expense at $3.5 million was up slightly from $3.2 million in 2011. Net income for the fourth quarter 2012 totaled $1.6 million, or $0.06 per share. This was nicely ahead of our forecast for net income of $1.2 million, or $0.4 per share. Net income in the fourth quarter 2012 compared to a loss of $0.5 million in the fourth quarter 2011. For the full year 2012, net income totaled $2.5 million, or $0.10 per share. This compared to a loss of $2.3 million in 2011.

We are impressed that the company can grow its top-line by 137% while keeping expenses essentially flat. Cipher now has 3 products on the market with Lipofen, ConZip/Durela, and the recently launched Absorica. In the past we’ve written that Absorica is a game-changer for Cipher. Cipher plans to launch Epuris in Canada during the second half of 2013, and should be in position to file for approval of Betesil Patch in Canada by the end of the year. Cipher exited 2012 with approximately $15.3 million in cash and investments, up nicely from the $9.6 million balance at the end of 2011. In fact, Cipher grew its cash balance each quarter throughout 2013. We find the current balance sufficient to fund operations for the foreseeable future, as we believe that Cipher will continue to report positive cash flow throughout 2013 even in the face of building a specialty dermatology sales force to promote Epuris and Betesil Patch in Canada.

…Stock Still Attractive…

Based on our financial projections, Cipher should report total revenues in 2013 of around $13.8 million, with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.22 per share. This equates to a P/E ratio of only 11.1x our 2013 figure. In 2014, we model growth in revenues to $21.3 million, net income of $10.1 million and EPS of $0.40. A P/E ratio of 10x our 2014 estimate for $0.40 in EPS yields a price target of $4.00 per share.

RX.v/BIOYF.pk: Biosyent Presentation from the Microcap Club Invitational:

http://microcapclub.com/2013/02/microcapclub-invitational-biosyent-rx-v/#more-2259

Strong trailing results and a strong plan for continued growth.

As interesting as CPHMF looks, I won't be selling any RX.v to buy it, but might pear down some other positions to buy some.

DND.TO / CPHMF This is a small Canadian Pharmaceutical which was mentioned on microcap kitchen the other day. I would post this on the VMC board, but I dont' have a premium membership...

The company has a few products approved, selling and growing very rapidly. The estimate for revenues of Absorbica, which began selling last Nov. are $200 MM at maturity. Cipher ought to get fifteen percent of that as royalties I think.

http://www.cipherpharma.com/files/DND%20January%202013%20Presentation%20-%20FINAL.pdf

I count 26MM shares fully diluted.
About 15 million in cash, no debt.

This is like a Biosyent on steroids.

CPHMF.. $3.0215.. Since I just sold 125K of BIOYF last month this seems like a good place to start putting the money to work.. Thanks for the idea to..

Absorica is expected to be launched in the U.S. in Q4 2012.
"Approval of Absorica represents our third FDA approval and most important milestone to date, reflecting the great work by our Scientific Affairs team at Cipher and our partner, Galephar Pharmaceutical Research," said Larry Andrews , President and CEO of Cipher. "We look forward to working closely with our partner, Ranbaxy Laboratories Inc., in preparation for the upcoming U.S. launch of the product through its dermatology sales force."
