Endo Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: ENDP) today reported financial results for the second quarter 2010.

Total revenues during the second quarter of 2010 increased 6 percent to $396.5 million, compared with $373.1 million in the same quarter of 2009.  Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $51.5 million, compared with $30.0 million in the comparable 2009 period.  As detailed in the supplemental financial information below, adjusted net income for the three months ended June 30, 2010, was $94.7 million, compared with $85.9 million in the same period in 2009.  Reported diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, were $0.44 compared with $0.26 in the second quarter of 2009.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the same period were $0.81, compared with $0.73 reported in 2009.

"I'm very pleased with the state of our business today.  We had a very good second quarter with strong revenues and earnings," said Dave Holveck, president and CEO of Endo. "We're executing our business strategy well and accomplishing our goals for this year.  I believe we are on the right path to sustainable, long-term growth and to becoming one of our industry's premier providers of comprehensive healthcare solutions."

Second Quarter 2010 Financial Results and Full Year 2010 Financial Guidance

The second quarter benefitted from good contributions from across our business.  Branded drug sales rose 8 percent, year-over-year, reflecting strong growth by key products in pain, urology and oncology.  Revenues from our generics business decreased 9 percent.  Prior year results for generics benefited from an unusual market shortfall in the supply for certain generic pain treatment products.  Our new products are performing better than anticipated, particularly SUPPRELIN^® LA.  The innovative use of Endo's HYDRON^® Implant Technology in this product is becoming the first choice in treating central precocious puberty and sales are up 67 percent over the second quarter of 2009.

The company continues to anticipate revenues of between $1.63 and $1.68 billion this year.  However, the company expects that a combination of continued strong performance in its current lines of business, an earlier close of the HealthTronics acquisition than assumed in previous expectations, and continued cost containment initiatives will improve adjusted diluted earnings per share.  As a result, at current exchange rates, adjusted diluted earnings per share is now expected to be between $3.25 to $3.30 per share.  Reported (or GAAP) diluted earnings per share are now expected to be between $1.99 to $2.07 per share, reflecting incremental milestone payments to R&D partners and the purchase accounting impact of the HealthTronics acquisition, among other factors.
