Progress Made Subsequent to Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2012
Engaging in Review of Strategic Alternatives
With a view to enhancing shareholder value and creating new
opportunities the Company has initiated a review of strategic
alternatives. Jefferies & Company has been engaged to advise and assist
in this review. No decision has been made to enter into any specific
strategic transaction or any other strategic alternative at this time,
and there can be no assurance that Nordion will enter into a transaction
in the future. The Company does not plan to disclose or comment on
developments regarding the strategic review process until further
disclosure is deemed appropriate. Nordion intends to continue with
planned business activities throughout the strategic alternatives review
process.
Credit Facility
On January 25, 2013, Nordion entered an $80 million Amended and Restated
senior secured credit facility agreement with the Toronto-Dominion Bank
and a select group of other financial institutions. The credit
facilities consist of a $20 million revolving credit facility and a
separate facility of up to $60 million to be used for the issuance of
letters of credit. The latter facility will be fully secured including a
specific pledge of cash collateral. Cash pledged against the facility
will be reported as restricted cash and will be unavailable for
operation.
AECL Arbitration and Claim Update
In fourth quarter fiscal 2012, Nordion also announced that the
arbitration tribunal dismissed AECL’s counterclaim against Nordion for
damages for breach of contract in the amount of $250 million and other
relief. The appeal period has expired and neither party appealed the
decision. The arbitrators have yet to decide on the issue of costs, and
requested that Nordion and AECL make submissions. AECL has submitted
total arbitration-related costs of approximately $46 million. The
tribunal is expected to schedule proceedings to hear both parties during
the Company’s second quarter fiscal 2013. As the decision of the
tribunal favoured AECL, Nordion may be responsible for a portion of
AECL’s costs, which could be material. Nordion is currently assessing
the legal merits and financial implications of AECL’s cost submission.
On January 18, 2013, Nordion filed an amended statement of claim against
AECL in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in relation to the 1996
Isotope Production Facilities Agreement (IPFA). The claim requests
damages in the amount of $243.5 million for negligence and breach of the
IPFA, as well as pre- and post-judgment interest and costs.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Segment Results
Following the strategic organizational realignment announced on
September 12, 2012, the sole product that is now reported in Targeted
Therapies is Nordion’s innovative liver cancer treatment, TheraSphere®.
Contract Manufacturing is now reported under Medical Isotopes.
Targeted Therapies
TheraSphere® revenue for fourth quarter fiscal 2012 of $12.0 million
increased by $1.1 million or 10% compared with fourth quarter fiscal
2011. Targeted Therapies revenue for fiscal 2012 of $48.5 million
increased by $5.9 million or 14% compared with fiscal 2011.
The annual increase in TheraSphere revenue was primarily due to adoption
by new clinics. Management believes the continued growth of TheraSphere
is attributable to positive perceptions regarding TheraSphere, including
its simplified delivery system, it is well-tolerated by patients, and
offering of custom doses, and the Company’s investment in global sales
and marketing.
Sterilization Technologies
Sterilization Technologies revenue for fourth quarter fiscal 2012 of
$32.3 million decreased by $0.2 million or 0.5% compared with fourth
quarter fiscal 2011. Revenue from Cobalt of $31.0 million in fourth
quarter fiscal 2012 increased by $2.9 million or 10% due to increased
shipments during this period. Additionally, the volume of Cobalt-60
shipped in the second half of fiscal 2012 was more than twice the volume
shipped in the first half of fiscal 2012.
Sterilization-Other revenue of $1.3 million decreased by $3.1 million or
70% in fourth quarter fiscal 2012, compared with fourth quarter fiscal
2011. No production irradiators were shipped during the quarter; however
there was one shipped in fourth quarter fiscal 2011.
Overall Sterilization Technologies revenue for fiscal 2012 of $95.4
million, decreased by $13.2 million or 12% compared with fiscal 2011.
Cobalt revenue of $92.4 million in fiscal 2012 decreased by $4.6 million
or 5% compared with fiscal 2011. Sterilization-Other revenue of $3.0
million was down $8.6 million or 74% over the same period of the prior
year.
Medical Isotopes
Medical Isotopes revenue for fourth quarter fiscal 2012 of $30.3 million
decreased by $0.3 million or 1% compared with fourth quarter fiscal
2011. Reactor isotopes revenue of $24.8 million in fourth quarter fiscal
2012, increased by $2.9 million or 13% primarily due to additional
revenue the Company recognized for a short fall in Mo-99 orders below
minimum contract commitments from a customer during the quarter.
Cyclotron isotopes revenue of $3.6 million increased by $0.3 million or
10%, and Contract Manufacturing revenue of $2.0 million decreased by
$3.5 million or 64%, compared with the same period of the prior year.
Medical Isotopes revenue for fiscal 2012 of $101.0 million decreased by
$21.8 million or 18% compared with fiscal 2011. Reactor isotopes revenue
of $77.4 million decreased by $7.7 million or 9% in fiscal 2012 due to
lower volume demand and pricing from customers. Cyclotron isotopes
revenue for fiscal 2012 of $15.5 million decreased by $3.0 million or
16% compared with fiscal 2011 due to a decrease in sales volumes.
Contract Manufacturing revenue for fiscal 2012 of $8.1 million declined
by $11.2 million or 58% year-over-year due to CardioGen-82®, which
Nordion has not manufactured since first quarter fiscal 2011, and the
completion of development projects in 2011.
Corporate and Other
Corporate and Other segment loss was $1.3 million in fourth quarter
fiscal 2012, up $0.9 million or 289%, compared with the fourth quarter
fiscal 2011. The main driver of this increase was foreign exchange gains
and tax and insurance credits in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011
partially offset by lower stock based compensation in fiscal 2012.
Corporate and Other segment loss of $8.7 million in fiscal 2012
decreased by $3.7 million or 30% from $12.4 million of segment loss
incurred in fiscal 2011. Corporate SG&A expense for fiscal 2012
increased by $2.1 million or 27% from fiscal 2011 due to a favorable
insurance adjustment made in fiscal 2011. Other (income) expenses, net
improved $5.8 million compared to fiscal 2011 primarily due to a lower
foreign exchange loss in fiscal 2012, compared with fiscal 2011.
Nordion recorded $24.1 million of Other expenses, net in fourth quarter
of fiscal 2012 relating to ongoing litigation matters.

internally for strategic decision making, forecasting future results and
evaluating current performance. By disclosing non-GAAP financial
measures, management intends to provide investors with a meaningful,
consistent comparison of the company's core operating results and trends
for the periods presented. Non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared
