MINRAD International, Inc. Announces Q1 2007 Financial Results

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y., May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- MINRAD International, Inc. (AMEX: BUF - News) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company generated revenue of $2.926 million for the first quarter of 2007 as compared to $3.123 million for the first quarter of 2006.

                                          March 31,         March 31,
                                            2007              2006
    Revenue                                $2,926            $3,123
    Cost of goods sold                      2,236             1,564
    Gross profit                             $690            $1,559
 
    Gross margin                              24%               50%

Revenue decreased by $197 thousand or 6%, to $2.926 million for the first three months of 2007 as compared to $3.123 million for the first three months of 2006. This decrease is primarily attributed to the processing of both isoflurane and sevoflurane on our isoflurane active pharmaceutical production line to meet customer demands while we our in the process of completing our additional sevoflurane active pharmaceutical production line. By changing between the production of isoflurane and sevoflurane on the same line, we incur a loss of production as changeover and clean outs occur, while also incurring a loss in margin due to the multiple start ups in the production cycle and reduced margin due to the inefficiency of producing sevoflurane on our isoflurane production line. Approximately two months of the production in the isoflurane active pharmaceutical production line in the first quarter were dedicated to the production of isoflurane, while the remaining time was spent on producing sevoflurane.
Assuming the Company would have produced at our standard margins during each of the periods, the gross margin during the first quarter of 2007 would have been 52% as compared to 60% for the first 3 months of 2006.
For the first quarter of 2007, the Company experienced a loss of $(3.386) million, $(0.07) per common share. This compares with a loss of $(0.748) million, $(0.03) per common share for the first quarter in 2006. The increased operating loss for the quarter is primarily due to decreases in gross margin combined with increases in overhead and headcount associated with our sales force, research and development efforts and administrative costs as we prepare to grow our business across our three product lines over the upcoming years.
