BASIS
OF PRESENTATION:
|
The
accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related
notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
of PDI, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company or PDI) and related notes as
included in the Company’s
Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial reporting
and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for
complete financial statements. The unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
that, in the judgment of management, are necessary for a fair presentation
of
such financial statements. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company
discontinued its Medical Device and Diagnostic (MD&D) business. The MD&D
business was part of the Company’s sales services reporting segment. The
MD&D business is accounted for as a discontinued operation under GAAP and,
therefore, the MD&D business’ results of operations have been removed from
the Company’s results of continuing operations for all periods presented. See
Note 11, Discontinued Operations. Operating results for the three month period
ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
|
Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period, including, but not limited to, incentives earned
or
penalties incurred on contracts, accrued incentives payable to employees,
receivable valuations, impairment of goodwill, valuation allowances related
to
deferred income taxes, restructuring costs, insurance loss accruals, fair value
of assets, sales returns and litigation accruals. Management's estimates are
based on historical experience, facts and circumstances available at the time,
and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances. The Company reviews these matters and reflects changes in
estimates as appropriate. Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates.
Basic
and Diluted Net Income per Share
Basic
and
diluted net income per share is calculated based on the requirements of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings
Per Share.” A reconciliation of the number of shares of common stock used in the
calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three month periods
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

Outstanding
options to purchase 807,238 shares of common stock and 327,945 stock-settled
stock appreciation rights (SARs) at March 31, 2007 were not included in the
computation of loss per share as they would be antidilutive. Outstanding options
to purchase 815,044 shares of common stock and 45,456 SARs at March 31, 2006
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because
the
exercise prices of the options were greater than the average market price of
the
shares of common stock and therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Tabular

New
Accounting Pronouncements - Standards Implemented
The
Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48) on January 1,
2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income
tax law. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial
statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain
tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. See Note 10
below
for additional information. The
Company’s adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on the Company’s
financial position or results of operations.
New
Accounting Pronouncements - Standards to be Implemented
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS
157). This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard
is to be applied when other standards require or permit the use of fair value
measurement of an asset or liability. The statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is in the process of
evaluating the impact of adopting this statement.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115.” SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure eligible
financial instruments at fair value. An entity shall report unrealized gains
and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings
at
each subsequent reporting date, and recognize upfront costs and fees related
to
those items in earnings as incurred and not deferred. This statement is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The provisions of this standard will be effective for
the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. Management is currently evaluating what
elections it plans to make and the impact of the provisions of SFAS 159.

INVESTMENTS
IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES:
|
The
available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value and consist of auction
rate securities (ARSs) held by the Company as well as assets in a Rabbi Trust
associated with its deferred compensation plan. At March 31, 2007 and December
31, 2006, the carrying value of available-for-sale securities was approximately
$56.9 million and $33.2 million, respectively, which are included in short-term
investments. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, there was $56.3 million
and $32.6 million, respectively, invested in ARSs. The ARSs are invested in
high-grade bonds that have a weighted average maturity date of 28.1 years with
an average interest rate reset period of 26.0 days. The available-for-sale
securities within the Company’s deferred compensation plan at March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006 consisted of approximately $198,000 and $215,000 respectively,
in money market accounts, and approximately $375,000 and $447,000, respectively,
in mutual funds. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, included in
accumulated other comprehensive income were gross unrealized gains of
approximately $121,000 and $131,000, respectively, and gross unrealized losses
of approximately $3,000. In the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, included in other income, net were gross realized gains of approximately
$20,000 and $11,000, respectively, and no gross realized losses.
The
Company’s other marketable securities consist of a laddered portfolio of
investment grade debt instruments such as obligations of U.S. Treasury and
U.S.
Federal Government agencies, municipal bonds and commercial paper. These
investments are categorized as held-to-maturity because the Company’s management
has the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.
Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost and have a weighted
average maturity of 2.9 months. Portions of these held-to-maturity securities
are maintained in separate accounts to support the Company’s standby letters of
credit. The Company has standby letters of credit of approximately $9.6 million
and $9.7 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, as
collateral for its existing insurance policies and its facility leases. At
March
31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, held-to-maturity securities were included in
short-term investments (approximately $9.5 million and $36.2 million,
respectively), other current assets (approximately $7.2 million and $7.2
million, respectively) and other long-term assets (approximately $2.4 million
and $2.5 million, respectively). At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006,
held-to-maturity securities included:

GOODWILL
AND OTHER INTANGIBLE
ASSETS:
|
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2007, there were no changes to the carrying amount
of goodwill. Goodwill is attributable to the acquisition of the Company’s
Pharmakon business unit in August 2004 and is reported in the marketing services
operating segment.
All
identifiable intangible assets recorded as of March 31, 2007 are being amortized
on a straight-line basis over the lives of the intangibles, which range from
5
to 15 years.

OTHER
ASSETS:
|
In
October 2002, the Company acquired $1.0 million of preferred stock of Xylos
Corporation (Xylos). In addition, the Company provided Xylos with short-term
loans totaling $500,000 in the first half of 2004. The Company determined its
$1.0 million investment and $500,000 short-term loan to Xylos were impaired
as
of December 31, 2004. The Company wrote its $1.0 million investment down to
zero
and established an allowance for credit losses against the $500,000 short-term
loan. As of March 31, 2007, the short-term loan has been paid in full. Xylos
made loan payments totaling $150,000, $250,000, and $100,000 in 2007, 2006,
and
2005, respectively. These payments were recorded as credits to bad debt expense
in the periods in which they were received. Of the payments received in 2006,
$75,000 was received in the first quarter.
In
May
2004, the Company entered into a loan agreement with TMX Interactive, Inc.
(TMX), a provider of sales force effectiveness technology. Pursuant to the
loan
agreement, the Company provided TMX with a term loan facility of $500,000 and
a
convertible loan facility of $500,000, both of which were due on November 26,
2005. In 2005, due to TMX’s continued losses and uncertainty regarding its
future prospects, the Company established an allowance for credit losses against
the TMX loans. During the first quarter of 2007, and the years ended 2006 and
2005, TMX provided services to the Company valued at $9,000, $246,000, and
$245,000 respectively. The receipt of these services was credited as payment
against the TMX loans and the balance of the loan receivable at March 31, 2007
is $500,000. The receipt of services in lieu of cash payment was recorded as
a
credit to loan receivable in 2005 and a credit to bad debt expense in 2007
and
2006. None of the services performed in 2006 were performed in the first
quarter.

FACILITIES
REALIGNMENT:
|
The
Company recorded facility realignment charges totaling approximately $2.0
million and $2.4 million during 2006 and 2005, respectively. These charges
were
for costs related to excess leased office space the Company has at its Saddle
River, New Jersey and Dresher, Pennsylvania facilities. The Company is seeking
to sublease the excess space at both locations. The expense is reported in
other
selling, general and administrative expenses within the reporting segment that
it resides in and the accrual balance is reported in other accrued expenses
and
long-term liabilities on the balance sheet. A rollforward of the activity for
the facility realignment plan is as follows:

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES:
|
Letters
of Credit
As
of
March 31, 2007, the Company has $9.6 million in letters of credit outstanding
as
required by its existing insurance policies and as required by its facility
leases.
Litigation
Due
to
the nature of the business in which the Company is engaged, such as product
detailing and in the past, the distribution of products, it could be exposed
to
certain risks. Such risks include, among others, risk of liability for personal
injury or death to persons using products the Company promotes or distributes.
There can be no assurance that substantial claims or liabilities will not arise
in the future due to the nature of the Company’s
business activities and recent increases in litigation related to healthcare
products, including pharmaceuticals. The Company seeks to reduce its potential
liability under its service agreements through measures such as contractual
indemnification provisions with clients (the scope of which may vary from client
to client, and the performances of which are not secured) and insurance. The
Company could, however, also be held liable for errors and omissions of its
employees in connection with the services it performs that are outside the
scope
of any indemnity or insurance policy. The Company could be materially adversely
affected if it were required to pay damages or incur defense costs in connection
with a claim that is outside the scope of an indemnification agreement; if
the
indemnity, although applicable, is not performed in accordance with its terms;
or if the Company’s liability exceeds the amount of applicable insurance or
indemnity.
Bayer-Baycol
Litigation
The
Company has been named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits, including two class
action matters, alleging claims arising from the use of Baycol, a prescription
cholesterol-lowering medication. Baycol was distributed, promoted and sold
by
Bayer
AG (Bayer) in the U.S. through early August 2001, at which time Bayer
voluntarily withdrew Baycol from the U.S. market. Bayer had retained certain
companies, such as the Company, to provide detailing services on its behalf
pursuant to contract sales force agreements. The Company may be named in
additional similar lawsuits. To date, the Company has defended these actions
vigorously and has asserted a contractual right of defense and indemnification
against Bayer for all costs and expenses that it incurs relating to these
proceedings. In February 2003, the Company entered into a joint defense and
indemnification agreement with Bayer, pursuant to which Bayer has agreed to
assume substantially all of the Company’s defense costs in pending and
prospective proceedings and to indemnify the Company in these lawsuits, subject
to certain limited exceptions. Further, Bayer agreed to reimburse the Company
for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred through such date in defending
these proceedings. As of March 31, 2007, Bayer has reimbursed the Company for
approximately $1.6 million in legal expenses, the majority of which was received
in 2003 and was reflected as a credit within selling, general and administrative
expense. The Company did not incur any costs or expenses relating to these
matters during 2004, 2005, 2006 or the first quarter of 2007.

California
Class Action Litigation
On
September 26, 2005, the Company was served with a complaint in a purported
class
action lawsuit that was commenced against the Company in the Superior Court
of
the State of California for the County of San Francisco on behalf of certain
of
its current and former employees, alleging violations of certain sections of
the
California Labor Code. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company
accrued approximately $3.3 million for potential penalties and other settlement
costs relating to both asserted and unasserted claims relating to this matter.
In December 2005, the Company reached a tentative settlement of this action,
subject to court approval. As a result, the Company reduced its accrual relating
to asserted and unasserted claims relating to this matter to $600,000 during
the
quarter ended December 31, 2005. In October 2006, the Company received
preliminary settlement approval from the court and the final approval hearing
was held in January 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company is currently
in the process of distributing payments to the class members, their counsel
and
the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency in an aggregate amount
of
approximately $50,000.

COMPENSATION:
|
Stock
Incentive Plans
On
March
30, 2007, under the terms of the stockholder-approved
PDI, Inc. 2004 Stock Award Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan), the Compensation
and
Management Development Committee (the Compensation Committee) of the Board
of
Directors of the Company approved the 2007 PDI, Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan
(the 2007 LTI Plan). This plan includes grants of SARs and restricted stock
to
certain executives of the Company. In approving grants under this plan, the
Compensation Committee considered, among other things, the overall performance
of the Company and the business unit of the Company for which the executive
has
responsibility, the individual contribution and performance level of the
executive, and the need to retain key management personnel. There were 97,426
shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $9.52 and 157,304
SARs issued with a grant price of $9.52 in the first quarter of 2007 under
the
2007 LTI Plan. The Company also issued a sign-on grant of 1,800 shares of
restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $9.52 on March 30,
2007.
Total
stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

At
January 1, 2007, the Company had a valuation allowance of approximately $6.8
million related to the Company’s net deferred tax assets. The Company performs
an analysis each quarter of the elements of net deferred tax assets to determine
whether the expected future income will more likely than not be sufficient
to
realize deferred tax assets. The Company’s recent operating results and
projections of future income weigh heavily in the Company’s overall assessment.
Included in net deferred tax assets is a deferred tax liability which arises
from the amortization of the tax basis in goodwill related to the Pharmakon
acquisition. In the first quarter of 2007 the Company determined that this
deferred tax liability will not be realizable for an indeterminate time in
the
future and consequently should not be included in net deferred tax assets for
purposes of calculating the valuation allowance in any period. As a result,
the
Company has increased the valuation allowance by $882,000 in the first quarter.
The Company does not believe this increase will be material to the results of
operations or its financial position in 2007. The Company also believes that
the
additional valuation allowance that would have resulted as of December 31,
2006
and 2005 was not material to the results of operations or the financial position
of the Company in those years.
As
highlighted in Note 2 above, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on
January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company did
not recognize a material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income
tax

benefits.
At March 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007, the Company had approximately $4.0
million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s
effective tax rate if recognized.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits
in income tax expense. The Company has accrued $1.3 million and $1.2 million
for
the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2007 and January 1, 2007,
respectively.
The
Company and its subsidiaries file a U.S. Federal consolidated income tax return
and consolidated and separate income tax returns in numerous state tax
jurisdictions. The following tax years remain subject to examination as of
March
31, 2007:

The
Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the
2003,
2004 and 2005 tax years. To date, there are no proposed adjustments which would
have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows. It is likely that the examination phase of this audit
will conclude in 2007; however, based on the status of this examination and
the
protocol of finalizing such an audit which could include formal administrative
and legal proceedings, it is not possible to estimate the impact of the amount
of such changes, if any, to previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits.
The
Company does not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS:
|
As
announced in December 2005, the Company discontinued its MD&D business in
the second quarter of 2006. The MD&D business included the Company’s
MD&D contract sales and clinical sales teams and was previously reported in
the sales services reporting segment. There was no residual activity in the
MD&D business during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the Company
does not anticipate any in future periods. All prior periods have been restated
to reflect the treatment of this unit as a discontinued operation. Summarized

“intends,” “projects,” “should,” “may,” “will” or similar words and expressions.
These forward-looking statements are contained throughout this Form 10-Q.
Forward-looking
statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These
statements are based on current expectations and assumptions involving judgments
about, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions

predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. These statements
also involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may
cause our actual results to be materially different from those expressed or
implied by any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond
our
ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to,
the
following:
· Changes
in outsourcing trends and promotional, marketing and sales expenditures in
the
pharmaceutical, biotechnology and life sciences industries;
· Loss
of
one or more of our significant customers or a material reduction in service
revenues from such customers;
· Senior
management’s ability to successfully implement our updated long-term strategic
plan;
· Competition
in our industry;

or
our customers’, failure to comply with applicable laws and healthcare
regulations.

see Part II - Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q and Part I - Item 1A -
“Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006, as well as other documents we file with the SEC from time to time, for
other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially
from our current expectations and from the forward-looking statements discussed
in this Form 10-Q. Because of these and other risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. In addition, these statements speak only as of the date of the
report in which they are set forth, and we undertake no obligation to revise
or
update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.

Description
of Businesses
Sales
Services
This
segment includes our Performance Sales Teams and Select Access’
Teams.
This segment, which focuses on product detailing, represented 79.8% of
consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Product
detailing involves a representative meeting face-to-face with targeted
physicians and other healthcare decision makers to provide a technical review
of
the product being promoted. Contract sales teams can be deployed on either
a
dedicated or shared basis.
Performance
Sales Teams
A
performance contract sales team works exclusively on behalf of one customer.
The
sales team is customized to meet the specifications of the team’s customer with
respect to representative profile, physician targeting, product training,
incentive compensation plans, integration with customers’ in-house sales forces,
call reporting platform and data integration. Without adding permanent
personnel, the customer gets a high quality, industry-standard sales team
comparable to its internal sales force.
Select
Access’
Select
Access represents a shared sales team business model where multiple
non-competing brands are represented for different pharmaceutical companies.
Using these teams, we make a face-to-face selling resource available to those
customers who
want
an alternative to a dedicated team. PDI Select Access is a leading provider
of
these detailing programs in the U.S. Since costs are shared among various
companies, these programs may be less expensive for the customer than programs
involving a dedicated sales force. With a shared sales team, the customer still
receives targeted coverage of its physician audience within the representatives’
geographic territories.
Marketing
Services
This
segment, which includes our Pharmakon, TVG and VIM business units, represented
20.2% of consolidated revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Pharmakon
Pharmakon’s
emphasis is on the creation, design and implementation of promotional
interactive peer persuasion programs. Each marketing program can be offered
through a number of different venues, including teleconferences, dinner
meetings, “lunch and learns,” and web casts. Within each of our programs, we
offer a number of services including strategic design, tactical execution,
technology support, audience recruitment, moderator services and thought leader
management. In the last ten years, Pharmakon has conducted over 45,000 peer
persuasion programs with more than 550,000 participants. Pharmakon’s peer
programs can be designed as promotional or marketing research/advisory programs.
In addition to peer persuasion programs, Pharmakon also provides promotional
communications activities. We acquired Pharmakon in August 2004.
TVG
Marketing Research & Consulting
TVG
Marketing Research & Consulting (TVG) employs leading edge, and in some
instances proprietary, research methodologies. We provide qualitative and
quantitative marketing research to pharmaceutical companies with respect to
healthcare providers, patients and managed care customers in the U.S. and
globally. We offer a full range of pharmaceutical marketing research services,
including studies to identify the highest impact business strategy, profile,
positioning, message, execution, implementation and post implementation for
a
product. Our marketing research model improves the knowledge customers obtain
about how physicians and other healthcare professionals will likely react to
products.
We
utilize a systematic approach to pharmaceutical marketing research. Recognizing
that every marketing need, and therefore every marketing research solution,
is
unique, we have developed our marketing model to help identify the work that
needs to be done in order to identify critical paths to marketing goals. At
each
step of the marketing model, we can offer proven research techniques,
proprietary methodologies and customized study designs to address specific
product needs.
Vital
Issues in Medicine
Our
Vital
Issues in Medicine business unit (VIM®)
develops and executes continuing medical education services funded by the
biopharmaceutical and medical device and diagnostics industries. Using an
expert-driven, customized approach, we provide faculty development/advocacy,
continuing medical education activities in a wide variety of formats, and
interactive initiatives to generate additional value to our customers'
portfolios.
15
PDI,
Inc.
PDI
Products Group (PPG)
The
goal
of the PPG segment has been to source biopharmaceutical products in the U.S.
through licensing, copromotion, acquisition or integrated commercialization
services arrangements. This segment did not have any revenue for the quarter
ended March 31, 2007 or for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Notwithstanding
the fact that we have shifted our strategy to deemphasize the PPG segment and
focus on our service businesses, we may continue to review opportunities which
may include copromotion, distribution arrangements, as well as licensing and
brand ownership of products. We do not currently anticipate any revenue for
2007
from the PPG segment.
Discontinued
Operations
MD&D
Contract Sales and Clinical Sales Teams
Our
medical teams group provided an array of sales and marketing services to the
MD&D industry. It provided dedicated sales teams to the MD&D industry as
well as clinical after sales support teams.
Nature
of Contracts by Segment
Our
contracts are nearly all fee for service. They may contain operational
benchmarks, such as a minimum amount of activity within a specified amount
of
time. These contracts can include incentive payments that can be earned if
our
activities generate results that meet or exceed performance targets. Contracts
may generally be terminated with or without cause by our clients. Certain
contracts provide that we may incur specific penalties if we fail to meet stated
performance benchmarks. Occasionally, our contracts may require us to meet
certain financial covenants, such as maintaining a specified minimum amount
of
working capital.
Sales
Services
The
majority of our revenue is generated by contracts for dedicated sales teams.
These contracts are generally for terms of one to two years and may be renewed
or extended. The majority of these contracts, however, are terminable by the
client for any reason upon 30 to 90 days’ notice. Certain contracts provide for
termination payments if the client terminates the contract without cause.
Typically, however, these penalties do not offset the revenue we could have
earned under the contract or the costs we may incur as a result of its
termination. The loss or termination of a large contract or the loss of multiple
contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
Marketing
Services
Our
marketing services contracts generally take the form of either master service
agreements with a term of one to three years or contracts specifically related
to particular projects with terms typically lasting from two to six months.
These contracts are generally terminable by the customer for any reason. Upon
termination, the customer is generally responsible for payment for all work
completed to date, plus the cost of any nonrefundable commitments made on behalf
of the customer. There is significant customer concentration in our Pharmakon
business, and the loss or termination of one or more of Pharmakon’s large master
service agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations. Due to the typical size of most
of
TVG’s and VIM’s contracts, it is unlikely the loss or termination of any
individual TVG or VIM contract would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
PPG
We
have
no current contracts in our PPG segment.

Three
Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
Revenue
Revenue
for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $32.8 million, 57.5% less than revenue
of $77.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Revenue
from the sales services segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $26.2
million, 60.5% less than revenue of $66.3 million from that segment for the
comparable prior year period. This decrease is attributable to the termination
and expiration of certain contracts during 2006, as described below, partially
offset by the addition of one large contract in May 2006.
Effective
April 30, 2006, AstraZeneca terminated its contract sales force arrangement
with
us; this contract represented $43.0 million in revenue in 2006, $28.3 million
of
which was earned in the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Additionally, on September
26, 2006, we announced that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) would not be renewing its
contract with us when it expired on December 31, 2006. This contract represented
$67.4 million in revenue in 2006, $17.5 million of which was earned in the
quarter ended March 31, 2006. Furthermore, on October 25, 2006, we announced
that we had received notification from sanofi-aventis of its intention to
terminate its contract sales engagement with us effective December 1, 2006.
This
contract represented approximately $18.3 million in revenue in 2006, $4.6
million of which was earned in the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
Revenue
for the marketing services segment was $6.6 million in the quarter ended March
31, 2007, 38.9% less than the $10.9 million in the comparable prior year period.
This is attributable to decreased revenue from all three business units within
this segment during the first quarter of 2007 due to a decline in projects
when
compared to the first quarter of 2006.
The
PPG
segment did not have any revenue in the first quarters of 2007 and
2006.
Cost
of services
Cost
of
services for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $23.8 million, 59.2% less
than
cost of services of $58.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. Cost
of
services associated with the sales services segment for the quarter ended March
31, 2007 were $20.3 million, 61.3% less than cost of services of $52.5 million
for the prior year period. The decrease is attributable to the contract
terminations discussed above. Cost of services associated with the marketing
services segment was $3.5 million, a $2.4 million decrease from the comparable
prior year period due to the decline in projects in the first quarter of 2007.
Gross
Profit
The
gross
profit percentage for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was 27.4%, an increase
of
3.2 percentage points from the comparable prior year period. This increase
in
gross margin was mainly attributable to the marketing services segment, and
its
higher gross margins, constituting a larger percentage of consolidated revenue
for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
The
gross
profit percentage for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 for the sales services
segment was 22.3%, an increase of 1.5 percentage points from the comparable
prior year period. This increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to
the
change
17
PDI,
Inc.
in
revenue mix between the Performance Sales Team unit and the Select Access unit.
Select Access had higher gross margins in both periods.
The
gross
margin for the marketing services segment increased to 47.2% in the quarter
ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 45.0% in the comparable prior year period.
This increase in gross profit was mainly attributable to Pharmakon constituting
a larger percentage of segment revenue as Pharmakon typically has higher gross
margins than the TVG and VIM units.
Compensation
expense
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was $6.1 million, 5.7% less than
$6.5 million for the comparable prior year period. This decrease is primarily
attributable to reduced employee costs at our corporate headquarters in the
first quarter of 2007. As a percentage of total net revenue, compensation
expense increased to 18.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from 8.4% in
the
comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to the
decline in revenue discussed above.
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 attributable to the sales services
segment was $3.7 million compared to $4.2 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2006; as a percentage of revenue, it increased to 14.2% from 6.4% in the
comparable prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to the
decline in revenue discussed above.
Compensation
expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 attributable to the marketing
services segment was $2.4 million, approximately 7.0% more than the comparable
prior year period. As a percentage of revenue, compensation expense for the
quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased to 36.1% from 20.6% in the comparable
prior year period. This increase is primarily due to the decline in revenue
at
all three business units of this segment as discussed above.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses
Total
other selling, general and administrative expenses were $5.1 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2007, 8.2% more than other selling, general and
administrative expenses of $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
In
the first quarter of 2006, other selling, general and administrative expenses
benefited from approximately $300,000 in bad debt collections recorded as
credits to other selling, general and administrative expense. The quarter ended
March 31, 2006 also benefited from favorable litigation settlement reversals
and
receipt of payments of approximately $200,000.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the sales services
segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $4.1 million, which was 15.7%
of revenue, compared to other selling, general and administrative expenses
for
the comparable prior year period of $3.7 million, or 5.6% of revenue. This
increase was primarily attributable to the decline in revenue discussed above.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the marketing
services segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were approximately $1.0
million, compared to $1.1 million for the comparable prior year period. As
a
percentage of revenue, other selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to 15.1% from 10.2% in the comparable prior year period.
Other
selling, general and administrative expenses attributable to the PPG segment
for
the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were zero, compared to a credit of $83,000
in
the comparable prior year period. This credit was due to the receipt of a
settlement payment.
Operating
(loss) income
There
was
an operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of approximately $2.2
million, compared to operating income of $7.5 million in the comparable prior
year period. This decrease is primarily attributable to the decline in revenue
and gross profit in the sales services segment discussed previously.
There
was
an operating loss of $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 for
the
sales services segment, as compared to operating income of $5.9 million in
the
comparable prior year period. This decrease is primarily due to the loss of
significant contracts discussed above.
There
was
an operating loss for the marketing services segment of $262,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2007 compared to operating income of $1.5 million in that
segment for the comparable prior year period. This decrease in operating income
was due to fewer projects for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 when compared
to
the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
There
was
operating income from the PPG segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2006
of
$83,000 due to the receipt of a settlement payment.
18
PDI,
Inc.
Other
income, net
Other
income, net, for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $1.4 million
and
$975,000, respectively, and was composed primarily of interest income. The
increase in interest income is primarily due to higher interest rates and higher
cash balances for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Income
tax expense
Federal
and state income tax expense was approximately $1.0 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2007, compared to income tax expense of $3.1 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2006. Income taxes for the quarter ended March 31,
2007
were impacted by an increase of $882,000 in the valuation allowance on deferred
tax assets. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for details
on
the increase in the valuation allowance.
(Loss)
income from continuing operations
There
was
a loss from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of $1.9
million, compared to income from continuing operations of approximately $5.4
million in the comparable prior year period.
Discontinued
operations
There
was
no income from discontinued operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Revenue from discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was
approximately $1.7 million. Income from discontinued operations before income
tax for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was approximately $372,000. Income
from
discontinued operations, net of tax, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 was
approximately $199,000.
Net(loss)
income
There
was
a net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 of approximately $1.9 million,
compared to net income of approximately $5.6 million in the comparable prior
year period.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
March 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments
of
approximately $121.3 million and working capital of $112.1 million, compared
to
cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $114.7
million and working capital of approximately $112.2 million at December 31,
2006.
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities
was
$6.8 million, compared to $4.9 million net cash provided by operating activities
for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The main components of cash provided
by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007
were:
·
|
the
net loss when adjusted for depreciation and other non-cash expense
of $2.6
million, which includes depreciation expense of $1.1 million and
stock
compensation expense of $330,000, resulted in cash flow of approximately
$600,000;
|
· a
net
decrease in other changes in assets and liabilities of $6.0 million which
includes $14.3 million of net collections of accounts receivable partially
offset by a $10.9 million decrease in total liabilities.
The
net
changes in the “Other changes in assets and liabilities” section of the
consolidated statement of cash flows may fluctuate depending on a number of
factors, including the number and size of programs, contract terms and other
timing issues; these variations may change in size and direction with each
reporting period.
As
of
March 31, 2007, we had $2.3 million of unbilled costs and accrued profits on
contracts in progress. When services are performed in advance of billing, the
value of such services is recorded as unbilled costs and accrued profits on
contracts in progress. Normally all unbilled costs and accrued profits are
earned and billed within 12 months from the end of the respective period. As
of
March 31, 2007, we had $10.3 million of unearned contract revenue. When we
bill
clients for services before they have been completed, billed amounts are
recorded as unearned contract revenue, and are recorded as income when
earned.
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2007, net cash provided by investing activities
was
$2.9 million as compared to $17.5 million used in investing activities for
the
comparable prior year period. Approximately $3.0 million of short-term
investments included in our laddered portfolio of investment grade debt
instruments matured and were not reinvested but included in cash and cash
equivalents. Our portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury and U.S. Federal
Government agencies’ bonds, municipal bonds and commercial paper. We are focused
on preserving capital, maintaining liquidity and maximizing returns in
accordance with our investment criteria. We had approximately $253,000 of
capital expenditures primarily for computer equipment and software during the
three months ended March 31, 2007. Capital expenditures for the three months
ended March 31, 2006 were $428,000 also primarily for computer equipment. For
both periods, all capital expenditures were funded out of available
cash.
19
PDI,
Inc.
For
the
three months ended March 31, 2007, there was no net cash provided by or used
in
financing activities. In the comparable prior year period, there was $52,000
provided by financing activities. This amount represents proceeds received
from
the exercise of stock options.
On
November 7, 2006 we announced that our board of directors authorized us to
repurchase up to one million shares of our common stock. We did not repurchase
any shares of our common stock during 2006. As of the date of this Form 10-Q,
we
have not repurchased any shares of our common stock during 2007. Purchases,
if
any, will be made from our available cash.
Our
revenue and profitability depend to a great extent on our relationships with
a
limited number of large pharmaceutical companies. For the three months ended
March 31, 2007, we had two major clients that accounted for approximately 31.3%
and 19.9%, respectively, or a total of 51.2% of our service revenue. We are
likely to continue to experience a high degree of client concentration,
particularly if there is further consolidation within the pharmaceutical
industry. The loss or a significant reduction of business from any of our major
clients, or a decrease in demand for our services, could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For
example, on March 21, 2007, we announced that a large pharmaceutical company
customer had given notification of its intention not to renew its contract
sales
engagement with us when it expires on May 12, 2007. This contract, which was
for
a term of one-year, represented approximately $35 million in annual revenue.
Unless and until we generate sufficient new business to offset the loss of
this
contract, our current results will not be duplicated in future periods and
future revenue and cash flows will further decrease. In
addition, Select Access’ services to a significant customer are seasonal in
nature, occurring primarily in the winter season. We estimate cash flows used
in
operations to be approximately $15 million in 2007, unless that lost business
is
replaced.
Cash
flows from discontinued operations are included in the consolidated statement
of
cash flows. The absence of cash flows from the discontinued operation has had
no
material impact on cash flows. We are not expecting any material cash outlays
with regards to this discontinued operation in the future.
Acquisitions
are a part of our corporate strategy. We believe that our existing cash balances
and expected cash flows generated from operations will be sufficient to meet
our
operating requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we may require
alternative forms of financing if and when we make acquisitions.
We
have
federal income tax receivables, net of the first quarter federal tax provision,
of approximately $1.9 million on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2007. We
expect to receive these refunds in 2007.
We
believe that our existing cash balances and expected cash flows generated from
operations will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital requirements
for
the next 12 months. We continue to evaluate and review financing opportunities
and acquisition candidates in the ordinary course of business.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
We
are
exposed to market risk for changes in the market values of some of our
investments (investment risk) and the effect of interest rate changes (interest
rate risk). Our financial instruments are not currently subject to foreign
currency risk or commodity price risk. We have no financial instruments held
for
trading purposes and we have no interest bearing long term or short term debt.
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 we did not hold any derivative financial
instruments.
The
objectives of our investment activities are: to preserve capital, maintain
liquidity, and maximize returns without significantly increasing risk. In
accordance with our investment policy, we attempt to achieve these objectives
by
investing our cash in a variety of financial instruments. These investments
are
principally restricted to government sponsored enterprises, high-grade bank
obligations, high-grade corporate bonds, certain money market funds of
investment grade debt instruments such as obligations of the U.S. Treasury
and
U.S. Federal Government Agencies, municipal bonds and commercial paper.
Investments
in both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments carry a degree
of interest rate risk. Fixed rate securities may have their fair market value
adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates, while floating rate
securities may produce less income than expected if interest rates fall. Due
in
part to these factors, our future investment income may fall short of
expectations due to changes in interest rates or we may suffer losses in
principal if forced to sell securities that have seen a decline in market value
due to changes in interest rates. Our cash and cash equivalents and short term
investments at March 31, 2007 were composed of the instruments described in
the
preceding paragraph. All
of
those investments mature by August 2007, with the majority having interest
reset
periods not greater than 35 days. If interest rates were to increase or decrease
by one percent, the fair value of our investments would have an insignificant
increase or decrease primarily due to the quality of the investments and the
near term maturity.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Form
10-Q.
Based
on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
have
concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by
us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms; and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management,
including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal
controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter
how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within PDI, Inc. have been detected.
Changes
in internal controls
There
has
been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in
Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the
quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
PART
II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
Bayer-Baycol
Litigation
We
have
been named as a defendant in numerous lawsuits, including two class action
matters, alleging claims arising from the use of Baycol, a prescription
cholesterol-lowering medication. Baycol was distributed, promoted and sold
by
Bayer in the U.S. through early August 2001, at which time Bayer voluntarily
withdrew Baycol from the U.S. market. Bayer had retained certain companies,
such
as us, to provide detailing services on its behalf pursuant to contract sales
force agreements. We may be named in additional similar lawsuits. To date,
we
have defended these actions vigorously and have asserted a contractual right
of
defense and indemnification against Bayer for all costs and expenses we incur
relating to these proceedings. In February 2003, we entered into a joint defense
and indemnification agreement with Bayer, pursuant to which Bayer has agreed
to
assume substantially all of our defense costs in pending and prospective
proceedings and to indemnify us in these lawsuits, subject to certain limited
exceptions. Further, Bayer agreed to reimburse us for all reasonable costs
and
expenses incurred through such date in defending these proceedings. As of March
31, 2007, Bayer has reimbursed us for approximately $1.6 million in legal
expenses, the majority of which was received in 2003 and was reflected as a
credit within selling, general and administrative expense. We did not incur
any
costs or expenses relating to these matters during 2004, 2005, 2006 or the
first
quarter of 2007.
California
Class Action Litigation
On
September 26, 2005, we were served with a complaint in a purported class action
lawsuit that was commenced against us in the Superior Court of the State of
California for the County of San Francisco on behalf of certain of our current
and former employees, alleging violations of certain sections of the California
Labor Code. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, we accrued
approximately $3.3 million for potential penalties and other settlement costs
relating to both asserted and unasserted claims relating to this matter. In
October 2005, we filed an answer generally denying the allegations set forth
in
the complaint. In December 2005, we reached a tentative settlement of this
action, subject to court approval. As a result, we reduced our accrual relating
to asserted and unasserted claims relating to this matter to $600,000 during
the
quarter ended December 31, 2005. In October 2006, we received preliminary
settlement approval from the court and the final approval hearing was held
in
January 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, we are currently in the process of
distributing the payments
to the class members, their counsel and the California Labor and Workforce
Development Agency in an aggregate amount of approximately $50,000.
Other
Legal Proceedings
We
are
currently a party to other legal proceedings incidental to our business. As
required, we have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for the resolution
of these claims. While management currently believes that the ultimate outcome
of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Were we to settle
a
proceeding for a material amount or
21

were
an
unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse
impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Legal
fees
are expensed as incurred.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
In
addition to the factors generally affecting the economic and competitive
conditions in our markets, you should carefully consider the additional risk
factors that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial
condition or results of operations, which are set forth in our Annual Report
on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
There
have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, except that the following
risk factors have been updated to reflect developments subsequent to the filing
of that report.
Most
of our service revenue is derived from a limited number of customers, the loss
of any one of which could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
Our
revenue and profitability depend to a great extent on our relationships with
a
limited number of large pharmaceutical companies. For
the
three months ended March 31, 2007, our two largest customers accounted for
approximately 31.3% and 19.9%, respectively, or approximately 51.2% in the
aggregate, of our service revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2006, our
three largest customers accounted for 28.5%, 18.3% and 9.9%, respectively,
or
approximately 56.7% in the aggregate, of our service revenue. For the year
ended
December 31, 2005, our three largest customers, each of whom represented 10%
or
more of our service revenue, accounted for, in the aggregate, approximately
73.6% of our service revenue. We are likely to continue to experience a high
degree of customer concentration, particularly if there is further consolidation
within the pharmaceutical industry. The loss or a significant reduction of
business from any of our major customers could have a material adverse effect
on
our business, financial condition or results of operations. For example, as
announced on February 28, 2006, AstraZeneca terminated its contract sales force
arrangement with us effective April 30, 2006. The termination affected
approximately 800 field representatives, and the impact on revenue was
approximately $63.8 million in 2006. Additionally, on September 26, 2006, we
announced that GSK would not be renewing its contract with us when it expired
on
December 31, 2006. This represented a loss of revenue between $65 and $70
million for 2007. Furthermore, on October 25, 2006, we announced that we had
received notification from sanofi-aventis of its intention to terminate its
contract sales engagement with us effective December 1, 2006. The contract,
which represented approximately $18 million to $20 million in revenue on an
annual basis, was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2006. In addition, on
March 21, 2007, we announced that a large pharmaceutical company customer had
given notification of its intention not to renew its contract sales engagement
with us when it expires on May 12, 2007. The contract, which was for a term
of
one year, represented approximately $35 million in annual revenue.
Our
service contracts are generally short-term agreements and are cancelable at
any
time, which may result in lost revenue and additional costs and
expenses.
Our
service contracts are generally for a term of one to two years (certain of
our
operating entities have contracts of shorter duration) and many may be
terminated by the customer
at any time for any reason. Additionally, certain of our customers have the
ability to significantly reduce the number of representatives we deploy on
their
behalf. For example, as discussed above, AstraZeneca terminated its contract
sales force arrangement with us effective April 30, 2006. The termination
affected approximately 800 field representatives. The revenue impact was
approximately $63.8 million in 2006. Additionally, the expiration and/or
termination of the sales force contracts of GSK, sanofi-aventis and the other
large pharmaceutical company customer discussed in the risk factor above
represent a loss of approximately $95 million in revenue for 2007 as compared
to
2006.
The
early
termination or significant reduction of a contract by one of our customers
not
only results in lost revenue, but also typically causes us to incur additional
costs and expenses. All of our sales representatives are employees rather than
independent contractors. Accordingly, when a contract is significantly reduced
or terminated, unless we can immediately transfer the related sales force to
a
new program, if permitted under the contract, we must either continue to
compensate those employees, without realizing any related revenue, or terminate
their employment. If we terminate their employment, we may incur significant
expenses relating to their termination. The loss, termination or significant
reduction of a large contract or the loss of multiple contracts could have
a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
Due
to the expiration and/or termination of several significant contracts during
2006 and 2007 and management’s intention to implement our long-term strategic
plan during 2007 and beyond, our revenue and results of operations for the
year
ended December 31, 2006 cannot be relied upon as representative of the revenue
and results of operations that we may achieve in 2007 and future
periods.
As
noted
above, during 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, we experienced the expiration
and/or termination of several significant contracts, including termination
of
our AstraZeneca sales contract force effective as of April 30, 2006, the
termination of our contract sales agreement with sanofi-aventis effective as
of
December 1, 2006, the expiration of our contract sales agreement with GSK on
December 31, 2006 and the upcoming expiration of our contract sales arrangement
with a large pharmaceutical
22
PDI,
Inc.
company
customer on May 12, 2007. These four customers accounted for an aggregate of
approximately $151 million of revenue during 2006. Unless and until we generate
sufficient new business to offset the loss of these contracts, our 2006
financial results will not be duplicated in future periods and future revenue
and cash flows from operations will decrease significantly. In addition, we
expect to incur a net loss for 2007 and may incur net losses in future periods.
Our senior management intends to implement our long-term strategic plan during
2007 and beyond. This plan includes, in part, a focus on supplementing our
current service offerings with complementary commercialization service offerings
to the biopharmaceutical and life sciences industries. To the extent this
element of our strategic plan is implemented during 2007 and in future periods,
these will constitute new service offerings for which there were no comparable
financial results during 2006.
Our
business will suffer if we are unable to hire and retain key management
personnel to fill critical vacancies.
The
success of our business also depends on our ability to attract and retain
qualified senior management and experienced financial executives who are in
high
demand and who often have competitive employment options. Currently, we have
a
significant vacancy in our executive management. Steven K. Budd, the former
president of our sales services segment, resigned effective April 6, 2007.
We
have initiated a process to identify Mr. Budd’s successor. Our failure to
attract and retain qualified individuals could have a material adverse effect
on
our business, financial condition or results of operations.
