TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2008--Biovail Corporation (NYSE: BVF) (TSX: BVF) today announced financial results for the three-month and 12-month periods ending December 31, 2007. To the extent that this press release contains forward-looking statements, investors are cautioned that these are based on our current views, and actual outcomes are not certain. Please see the note on forward-looking information following the conference-call details below.

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2007 were $203.9 million, compared with $307.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. Total revenues for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007 were $842.8 million, compared with $1.07 billion for the full year of 2006, a decrease of 21%. In accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), Biovail reported a net loss of $32.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared with net income of $118.0 million for the corresponding 2006 period. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2007, net income was $195.5 million, compared with $211.6 million for the same period a year earlier. For the fourth quarter of 2007, Biovail reported a GAAP net loss per share of $0.20, versus EPS of $0.74 for the fourth quarter of 2006. For the full year of 2007, GAAP EPS were $1.22, versus EPS of $1.32 for the full year of 2006.

Specific Items Affecting Fourth-Quarter Results

GAAP net income and EPS figures for the fourth quarter of 2007 were negatively impacted by a $83.1-million charge (net of anticipated insurance recoveries) related to the December 2007 proposed settlement of U.S. class-action shareholder litigation; a $10-million provision related to a potential settlement of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation; an impairment charge of $9.9 million related to the write-down of certain product rights and technology assets, including Ultram(R) ODT and Zolpidem ODT; an $8.9-million loss on impairment of investments, which includes a $6.0-million charge related to Biovail's investment in auction-rate securities; and a $1.2-million equity loss related to an investment in Western Life Sciences Venture Fund (WLS). These charges were partially offset by a gain of $8.6 million upon Biovail's sale of shares of Reliant Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Reliant) further to that company's acquisition by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). In aggregate, these items negatively impacted fourth-quarter 2007 net income by $104.4 million, and diluted EPS by $0.65. Accordingly, Net Income Excluding Specific Items and EPS Excluding Specific Items in the fourth quarter of 2007 were $72.5 million and $0.45, respectively. GAAP net income and EPS figures for the fourth quarter of 2006 were negatively impacted by total charges of $33.1 million primarily related to restructuring costs and legal settlements. For more information concerning Net Income Excluding Specific Items and EPS Excluding Specific items, please refer below to Table 1 - Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Net Income and EPS to Net Income Excluding Specific Items and EPS Excluding Specific Items, and "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

Specific Items Affecting Full-Year 2007 Results

GAAP net income and EPS figures for the full year of 2007 were negatively impacted by $95.1 million in charges (net of anticipated insurance recoveries) related to legal settlements; a loss of $12.5 million on the extinguishment of the Company's Senior Subordinated Notes, which included a $7.9-million premium for the early redemption, and the write-off of $4.6 million in deferred financing and other associated costs; an impairment charge of $9.9 million related to the write-down of certain product rights and technology assets, including Ultram(R) ODT and Zolpidem ODT; an $8.9-million loss on impairment of investments; a $2.5-million equity loss related to an investment in WLS, and a $0.7-million restructuring charge. These charges were partially offset by a $24.4-million net gain related to the disposal of investments in Ethypharm S.A. and Reliant; and $1.7 million in cost recoveries, primarily related to the Wellbutrin XL(R) agreement as a result of additional sample purchases by GSK in the second quarter of 2007. In aggregate, these items negatively impacted net income and EPS in 2007 by $103.5 million and $0.64, respectively. Accordingly, Net Income Excluding Specific Items and EPS Excluding Specific Items in the full year of 2007 were $299.1 million and $1.86, respectively. GAAP net income and EPS figures for the full year of 2006 were negatively impacted by total net charges of $228.9 million primarily related to a write-down of intangible assets and to contract costs in the Wellbutrin XL(R) agreement with GSK. For more information concerning Net Income Excluding Specific Items and EPS Excluding Specific items, please refer below to Table 1 - Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Net Income and EPS to Net Income Excluding Specific Items and EPS Excluding Specific Items, and "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

"While I am proud of our employees and their many accomplishments in a period of significant challenge, 2007 was a very difficult year for Biovail and its shareholders," said Biovail Interim Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Douglas Squires. "However, the Company remains strong and an exciting opportunity now exists to implement meaningful changes to the business - changes that could facilitate a new growth trajectory for Biovail. I am very confident in the Company's long-term prospects and in our ability to strategically adapt to a changing marketplace."

Strategy Update

Biovail believes that 2008 represents an inflection point in the Company's strategic direction and focus. Biovail's senior management team will be undertaking a comprehensive review of the Company's core strategies, including its global infrastructure, commercialization model, product-development pipeline, acquisition targets, litigation strategy and capital structure. The objective of this wide-ranging analysis is to optimize all facets of Biovail's business model, to ensure the Company's core competencies are fully exploited, and to ensure the Company's investments are targeted towards opportunities that provide an appropriate return. An immediate action being taken in this regard is the termination of BVF-146, a once-daily combination product consisting of tramadol and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, following a reassessment of the commercial opportunity for this product.

Biovail remains committed to enhancing shareholder value and to maximizing the potential of the Company, using its strong fundamental base business as a starting point. In 2007, Biovail's management team and Board of Directors began exploring potential strategic and business opportunities to enhance shareholder value and will continue to do so. A committee of independent members of the Board of Directors has been established to work closely with management and external advisors to facilitate these and other considerations. In addition, Biovail anticipates further strengthening its management team through the addition of executives with operational, scientific, business and/or financial expertise.

Fourth-Quarter 2007 Financial Performance

Product revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 were $194.0 million, compared with $296.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, a decrease of 34% that primarily reflects the impact of generic competition for Wellbutrin XL(R) 300mg tablets, and lower revenues from Biovail's generic pharmaceutical products. Partially offsetting factors include increases in revenues from Zovirax(R), Ultram(R) ER, Biovail Pharmaceuticals Canada (BPC) and the Company's Legacy products portfolio. Product revenues for full-year 2007 were $801.0 million compared with $1.02 billion for 2006, a decrease of 22%.

Product revenues for Wellbutrin XL(R) were $44.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $212.3 million in the full year of 2007, compared with $148.1 million and $450.3 million in the corresponding periods in 2006, respectively. These decreases reflect the December 2006 introduction of generic competition for the 300mg dosage strength of the product. Under the terms of a comprehensive settlement agreement entered into with a number of generic pharmaceutical companies, a generic version of the 150mg strength of Wellbutrin XL(R) could be launched commencing the earlier of May 30, 2008 or upon an adverse decision of Biovail's appeal of the non-infringement summary judgment previously granted to Anchen Pharmaceuticals LLP. Partially offsetting this decline were revenues from the launch of the product in a number of European countries in 2007, including Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Iceland, Poland, Portugal and Greece.

Launched in February 2006 by Biovail's strategic partner Ortho-McNeil, Inc. (OMI), Ultram(R) ER generated revenues of $23.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $86.7 million in the full year of 2007, compared with $19.2 million and $53.7 million in the corresponding periods in 2006, respectively. The year-over-year changes reflect higher prescription volumes, an increase in Biovail's supply price from 27.5% of net sales in 2006 to 37.5% in 2007, and the impact of a price increase in the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by a reduction in inventory levels during 2007.

Revenues for Biovail's Zovirax(R) franchise were $43.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $147.1 million in the full year of 2007, representing increases of 40% and 31%, respectively, when compared with $31.1 million and $112.4 million in the prior-year periods. Revenue growth in 2007 was favourably impacted by price increases and a one-month increase in wholesaler inventory levels - from 0.5 months at the end of 2006 to 1.5 months at the end of 2007. In the fourth quarter of 2007, Zovirax(R) Ointment and Zovirax(R) Cream held a combined 73.1% share of the U.S. topical herpes market, an increase of 2.4% in market share versus fourth-quarter 2006 levels.

Fourth-quarter 2007 revenues for BPC were $19.3 million, compared with $15.7 million in the prior-year period, an increase of 23% that reflects year-over-year increases in total prescription volume of 108% and 33% for Wellbutrin(R) XL and Tiazac(R) XC, respectively. BPC revenues for the full year of 2007 were $61.9 million, compared with $68.7 million in the full year of 2006. The year-over-year declines reflect the continued erosion of Wellbutrin(R) SR and Tiazac(R) as a result of generic competition.

In the U.S., Cardizem(R) LA generated revenues of $8.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, compared with $12.4 million for the corresponding period in 2006. In the full year of 2007, Cardizem(R) LA generated revenues of $69.3 million, compared with $56.5 million in the full year of 2006. The decrease in the fourth quarter of 2007 reflects lower prescription volumes. The amortization of deferred revenues associated with the May 2005 Kos transaction positively impacted Cardizem(R) LA revenues by $3.8 million and $15.1 million in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively, of both 2006 and 2007.

Biovail's Legacy products generated revenues of $35.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared with $28.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 23% that represents the impact of price increases and the timing of wholesaler purchases. In the full year of 2007, Legacy products generated revenues of $136.9 million, compared with $139.9 million in the full year of 2006, a decrease of 2% that primarily reflects lower sales volumes of Tiazac(R) due to the increased generic competition.

Product revenue for Biovail's portfolio of generic products (distributed by a subsidiary of Teva) was $19.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $86.8 million in the full year of 2007, compared with $41.0 million and $141.1 million in the corresponding periods in 2006, respectively. The decreases in 2007 reflect a loss of market share, lower pricing and price adjustments by Teva to its customers.

NM = Not Meaningful

Research-and-development (R&D) revenue in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $5.4 million, compared with $7.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, reflecting lower activity levels at the Company's Contract Research Division (CRD). In the full year of 2007, R&D revenues were $23.8 million, compared with $21.6 million for the full year of 2006, a 10% increase that reflects a 1% increase in CRD revenues (where the impact of higher activity levels was offset by lower pricing), and a $1.9-million payment from Kos in the second quarter of 2007 related to development activity for Vasocard(TM) prior to the project's termination.

Royalty and other revenue was down 1% to $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and down 28% to $17.9 million in the full year of 2007, which primarily reflects the elimination of co-promotion revenues associated with Ultram(R) ER and Zoladex(R) 3.6mg.

Cost of goods sold for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $62.3 million, compared with $49.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Gross margins based on product sales were 68% and 72% in the fourth quarter and full year of 2007, respectively, compared with 83% and 79% in the fourth quarter and full year of 2006, respectively. The decline in 2007 reflects lower gross margins associated with Wellbutrin(R) XL revenues, which remained at the lowest tier of pricing as per the supply-and-distribution agreement with GSK until December 2007; the inclusion of Biovail's one-third share of the costs associated with GSK's license agreement with Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. related to Wellbutrin XL(R) 150mg; and lower gross margins associated with the Company's generic products. These items were partially offset by price increases implemented across a number of product lines, and the increase in Biovail's supply price for Ultram(R) ER from 27.5% of net sales in 2006 to 37.5% in 2007.

R&D expenditures were $29.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2007 and $118.1 million for the full year of 2007, compared with $28.4 million and $95.5 million for the corresponding periods in 2006, respectively. The year-over-year increase in 2007 reflects higher spending for BVF-033 (bupropion salt); BVF-146 (combination of tramadol and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug); and BVF-012 (enhanced absorption, alcohol-resistant venlafaxine). R&D expenditures in 2007 reflect a 50% year-over-year increase in expenses associated with feasibility programs in Biovail's development pipeline.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the fourth quarter and full year of 2007 were $31.4 million and $161.0 million, respectively, compared with $65.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, and $238.4 million in the full year of 2006. The decreases in 2007 reflect the impact of the December 2006 restructuring of the Company's U.S. commercial operations, lower advertising and promotional expenses, lower legal expenses (net of insurance recoveries), lower stock-based compensation expenses, and overall cost-containment initiatives.

Amortization expense in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $12.1 million, which is consistent with the level in the fourth quarter of 2006. In the full year of 2007, amortization expense was $48.0 million, compared with $56.5 million in the full year of 2006, a 15% decrease that primarily reflects the third-quarter 2006 write-down of intangible assets associated with Vasotec(R) and Glumetza(R).

In 2007, we recorded a charge of $95.1 million related to legal settlements, of which $83.1 million (net of expected insurance recoveries) pertained to the settlement of the U.S. securities class action complaint, and $10.0 million to a potential settlement of the SEC investigation.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Net income excluding specific items ("Net Income Excluding Specific Items") and earnings per share excluding specific items ("EPS Excluding Specific Items") have been provided as Biovail believes they are useful measures for investors and management that facilitate, on an aggregate and on a per-share basis, respectively, operating comparisons between periods. Net Income Excluding Specific Items and EPS Excluding Specific Items exclude the effects of non-cash write downs of certain intangible assets, charges related to contract-loss contingencies and lost-profits provisions in certain agreements, restructuring costs, legal settlements and gains or losses on investments. The items are excluded in the determination of such measures because they are either non-cash in nature, non-recurring, or otherwise not considered to be in the ordinary course of business. Such measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP, and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Net Income Excluding Specific Items and EPS Excluding Specific Items are not measures of performance under GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation of or as substitutes for net income or earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Biovail has provided a reconciliation of Net Income Excluding Specific Items to GAAP net income and of EPS Excluding Specific Items to GAAP earnings per share above.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow

At the end of 2007, Biovail had cash balances of $433.6 million, marketable securities valued at $28.3 million, no long-term obligations and no outstanding borrowings under its credit facility. Biovail currently has $26.8 million of principal invested in auction-rate securities (ARS), all of which were rated Aaa/AAA at the time of purchase. However, given declines in underlying collateral values, three ARS holdings with an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 million were downgraded in the fourth quarter of 2007. Although these securities continue to pay cash interest, Biovail has been unable to liquidate its ARS portfolio. As such, the Company has recorded this portfolio at its estimated fair value of $18.0 million as at December 31, 2007. Biovail has recorded an impairment charge of $6.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and a $2.8-million unrealized loss in other comprehensive income. Biovail has discontinued additional investments in ARS.

Cash flows from continuing operations were $79.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $340.9 million in the full year of 2007, compared with $235.6 million and $522.5 million in the corresponding periods of 2006. The year-over-year decreases are largely attributable to lower gross profit in the 2007 periods.

Net capital expenditures were $11.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $35.1 million in the full year of 2007, which reflects the recently completed expansion of the Company's corporate headquarters in Mississauga, Ontario, and upgrades to the Company's manufacturing facility in Dorado, Puerto Rico.
