Our recurring revenue, consisting of our product sales and royalties, exceeded an annualized run rate of $100 million for the first time in the fourth quarter 2012. We expanded our portfolio of royalty producing agreements with our license to Janssen for Nucynta(®) ER and filed Serada with the FDA," said Jim Schoeneck, President and Chief Executive Officer of Depomed. "As we enter 2013, we are focused on growing our product revenues and royalties to become a sustainably profitable specialty pharmaceutical company."
Depomed Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2012 Results
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $26.6 million, consisting of $7.6 million of Gralise product sales, $4.9 million of Zipsor product sales, $13.3 million of royalties and $0.8 million of license and other revenue. Fourth quarter 2012 revenues more than doubled total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 of $12.1 million. The increase in revenues in the fourth quarter of 2012 was driven by product sales of Gralise and Zipsor and increased Glumetza royalties.
Gralise product sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 included a one-time increase of $1.6 million related to the recognition of previously deferred revenue resulting from a change in revenue recognition to a sell-in model. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company was unable to reasonably estimate product returns of Gralise at the time of shipment and deferred recognition of revenue until the product was dispensed to the end user through estimated patient prescriptions. The Company has determined it had the information needed during the fourth quarter of 2012 to reasonably estimate returns. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company began recognizing revenue on shipments of Gralise when title transfers to the customer, providing for estimates on future product returns.
Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $90.8 million, consisting primarily of $17.3 million of Gralise product sales, $9.8 million of Zipsor product sales, $44.5 million of royalties and $18.8 million of license and other revenue. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $133.0 million. The decrease in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 was primarily due to the recognition of a $48 million milestone payment from Abbott in 2011 related to FDA approval of Gralise and our restructured Glumetza agreement with Santarus.
Selling general and administrative expense was $24.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to $21.5 million for fourth quarter of 2011. The increase is primarily due to sales and marketing expenses associated with Zipsor which was acquired in June 2012, and the addition of the part-time contract sales force of 78 sales representatives in June 2012 to support our existing sales efforts.
Selling general and administrative expense was $97.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $81.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in 2012 was primarily due to a full year of expense related to our commercial infrastructure, as we began selling Gralise in October 2011. This was partially offset by the removal of promotion fees resulting from the restructuring of the Glumetza agreement with Santarus in August 2011.
Research and development expense was $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. Research and development expense was $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Net loss for the fourth of quarter of 2012 was ($3.7) million, or ($0.07) per share, compared to net loss of ($13.8) million, or ($0.25) per share for the fourth quarter of 2011. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was ($29.8) million, or ($0.53) per share, compared to net income of $70.7 million, or $1.26 per share for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net income for 2011 included the $48 million milestone from Abbott and a $40 million gain on termination of our agreement with Abbott.
Cash and marketable securities were $77.9 million as of December 31, 2012 as compared to $139.8 million as of December 31, 2011.
2013 Financial Outlook
Depomed is introducing its financial outlook for the full year of 2013. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the outcomes of the Serada FDA advisory committee on March 4, 2013 and the FDA review with a PDUFA date of May 31, 2013, the following financial guidance currently excludes any additional investment in Serada after the date of the FDA advisory committee meeting.
-- Total revenues of approximately $125 to $135 million, which includes
approximately $6 million in anticipated milestones under our
collaborative arrangements
-- Operating expenses of approximately $120 to $130 million, which includes
approximately $4 million of intangible amortization related to the
acquisition of Zipsor
-- Year-end 2013 cash and marketable securities of $70 to $80 million
