Second-Quarter 2006 Financial Performance

Product revenues for the second quarter of 2006 were $241.1 million, compared with $204.5 million in the second quarter of 2005, a 18% increase that reflects the performance of Wellbutrin XL(R) and Zovirax; partially offset by declines in revenues from BPC, Cardizem(R) LA, and Biovail's portfolio of Legacy and generic products. Product revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $450.8 million compared with $365.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Product revenues for Wellbutrin XL(R) were $114.0 million in the second quarter of 2006, and $179.0 million in the first half of 2006, compared with $70.5 million and $107.2 million in corresponding periods in 2005, respectively. This strong performance reflects continued strength in prescription volume for the product, as well as price increases instituted by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK GSK GlaxoSmithKline plc (pharmaceutical company)
GSK Glycogen Synthase Kinase
GSK Gruppentraining Sozialer Kompetenzen (Germany)
GSK Greenland Shark (FAO fish species code) 
). In June 2006, Wellbutrin XL(R) captured 60.5% of the new prescriptions written for the Wellbutrin brand (including generics).

Revenues for Biovail's Zovirax franchise were $29.1 million in the second quarter of 2006, and $53.6 million in the first half of 2006, representing increases of 59% and 18%, respectively, when compared with $18.3 million and $45.4 million in the prior-year periods. The increases reflect the timing of wholesaler inventory purchases and a January 2006 price increase. In the second quarter of 2006, Zovirax Ointment and Zovirax Cream held a combined 71.9% share of the topical topical /top·i·cal/ (top´i-k'l) pertaining to a particular area, as a topical antiinfective applied to a certain area of the skin and affecting only the area to which it is applied.

Second-quarter 2006 revenues for Biovail Pharmaceuticals Canada (BPC) were $19.5 million, compared with $23.7 million in the prior-year period. First-half 2006 revenues for BPC were $39.3 million, compared with $48.7 million in the first half of 2005. The declines reflect the availability of generic formulations of Tiazac(R) and Wellbutrin(R) SR. Partially offsetting factors include the continued growth in Tiazac(R) XC, and the April 2006 launch of Wellbutrin(R) XL. Total prescription volume for Wellbutrin(R) SR decreased 37% in the second quarter of 2006, versus the comparable period in 2005, due to the availability of a generic competitor. Total prescription volume for Tiazac(R) declined 32% in the first quarter of 2006, compared with the corresponding period in 2005. However, Tiazac(R) XC continues to gain market share, capturing 35% of total prescriptions written for the Tiazac(R) brand in the second quarter of 2006.

In the second quarter of 2006, Cardizem(R) LA generated revenues of $9.2 million, compared with $17.6 million for the corresponding period in 2005. In the first half of 2006, Cardizem(R) LA generated revenues of $25.4 million, compared with $29.0 million in the first half of 2005. These declines reflect the May 2005 strategic alliance with Kos, whereby Biovail now manufactures and supplies the product to Kos at contractually determined prices that are in excess of 30% of their net selling prices. The amortization of deferred revenues associated with the Kos transaction positively impacted Cardizem(R) LA revenues by $3.8 million and $7.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2006, respectively.

Launched in February 2006, Ultram(R) ER generated revenues of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2006, which is net of a $7.8-million return provision related to a recent recall of certain dosages of the product. In June 2006, Biovail's marketing partner Ortho-McNeil, Inc. (OMI (1) See Open Market.

Legacy products generated revenues of $36.7 million for the second quarter of 2006, compared with $39.1 million in the second quarter of 2005, representing a decrease of 6%. The decline reflects lower sales of Tiazac(R) (both brand and generic) to Forest Laboratories, Inc. In the first half of 2006, legacy products generated revenues of $72.3 million, compared with $68.9 million in the first half of 2005, an increase of 5% that reflects higher sales of Cardizem(R) CD, and price increases instituted in 2006. Partially offsetting this growth were the expected year-over-year declines in total prescription volumes for these mature products.

In November 2005, Biovail announced its intention to pursue a spin-off The situation that arises when a parent corporation organizes a subsidiary corporation, to which it transfers a portion of its assets in exchange for all of the subsidiary's capital stock, which is subsequently transferred to the parent corporation's shareholders.  of substantially all of the Company's off-patent branded pharmaceutical products to its shareholders on a pro rata [Latin, Proportionately.] A phrase that describes a division made according to a certain rate, percentage, or share.

 basis, either as a dividend in kind or a return of capital. However, following further analysis of the opportunity, Biovail's Board of Directors and senior management team have decided that Biovail will retain these assets. The profitability and associated cash flows of these products will be deployed in strategic growth initiatives and for other purposes.

Product revenue for Biovail's portfolio of generic products (distributed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Hebrew: טבע תעשיות פרמצבטיות בע"מ), NASDAQ: TEVA is an international pharmaceutical company headquartered in  Ltd.) was $32.8 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared with $34.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. The decline in sales in the second quarter of 2006 was mainly due to weaker sales of generic Cardizem(R) CD. In the first half of 2006, Biovail's generic products generated revenues of $66.4 million, compared with $59.3 million in the first half of 2005, an increase of 12% that reflects higher sales of generic Cardizem(R) CD and generic Procardia XL, and the recent launch of an authorized au·thor·ize

The Teveten line of products, which was divested in May 2005 to Kos, generated revenues of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. In the second quarter of 2006, Biovail increased its returns provision for the Teveten line (related to pre-May 2, 2005 sales of the products) by $1.1 million. Biovail no longer has an economic interest in Teveten.

Research-and-development revenue decreased 38% in the second quarter of 2006 and decreased 35% in first half of 2006, compared with the corresponding periods of 2005. This performance reflects a delay in the initiation of certain clinical research and laboratory testing services for external customers by Biovail's Contract Research Division.

Royalty and other revenue was $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $13.6 million in the first half of 2006, compared with $5.3 million and $11.2 million in the corresponding periods in 2005, respectively. Biovail earned co-promotion revenues related to Ultram(R) ER of $1.8 million in the first half of 2006.

 for the second quarter of 2006 was $61.8 million, compared with $59.9 million in the second quarter of 2005. Gross margins based on product sales were 74.4% and 75.3% in the second quarter and first half of 2006, respectively, compared with 70.7% and 72.3% in the corresponding 2005 periods. The second-quarter 2006 gross margins reflect the impact of manufacturing issues primarily related to Ultram(R) ER, as well as return provisions of $7.8 million. In the second quarter of 2005, Biovail recorded a provision of $5.7 million for inventory of Cardizem(R) CD due to increasing competition from generics and Cardizem(R) LA, and wrote off $4.9 million of Cardizem(R) LA and Teveten inventories not purchased by Kos.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter of 2006 were $66.7 million, compared with $57.2 million in the second quarter of 2005, a 17% increase that reflects higher legal expenses, the processing of the Ultram(R) ER recall, increased costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, information-technology infrastructure upgrades, and the recent launches of Glumetza(TM) and Wellbutrin(R) XL in Canada. In addition, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)

Board composed of independent members who create and interpret Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
 Statement No. 123R (FAS 123R), Biovail incurred stock-based compensation costs of $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2006, the majority of which is recorded in SG&A expenses.

Research-and-development expenditures were $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2006 and $40.7 million for the first half of 2006, compared with $22.3 million and $42.2 million for the corresponding periods in 2005, respectively. With respect to ongoing development programs, Biovail anticipates the filing of a New Drug Application (NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) An agreement signed between two parties that have to disclose confidential information to each other in order to do business.

Amortization expense was $14.8 million in the second quarter of 2006 and $29.6 million in the first half of 2006, compared with $15.4 million and $31.4 million in the second quarter and first half of 2005, respectively. The modest decrease primarily reflects the divestiture The breakup of AT&T. By federal court order, AT&T divested itself on January 1, 1984 of its 23 operating companies, which became known as the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs).  of the Teveten products in May 2005.

Balance Sheet & Cash Flow

At the end of the second quarter of 2006, Biovail had cash balances of $571.3 million. In the second quarter of 2006, Biovail reduced its long-term obligations by $7.7 million. The Company's long-term debt-to-equity ratio Long-term debt-to-equity ratio

Cash flows from operations were $110.8 million in the second quarter of 2006, compared with $88.2 million in the second quarter of 2005. Net capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2006 amounted to $14.3 million, which largely reflects the expansion of the Company's Steinbach manufacturing facility. Biovail expects the work to be completed in the third quarter of 2006.
