Based in San Mateo, California, Epocrates offers various mobile health software applications that provide reference information for the healthcare industry. The securities class action charges that, throughout the Class Period, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) that the Company's pharmaceutical clients were awaiting guidance relating to use of advertising on the Internet and through social media from the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"); (2) that, as a result, these clients were increasingly delaying their marketing activities on the Internet and through social media; (3) the FDA's delay in issuing guidance relating to the Internet and social media was causing expanding regulatory queues for Epocrates; (4) that the expanding regulatory queues were negatively impacting the Company's sales and revenue growth; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, the defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations and prospects lacked a reasonable basis and/or were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On August 9, 2011, the Company reported its 2011 fiscal second quarter financial results and lowered its net sales guidance for the 2011 fiscal year from the range of $122 million to $125 million to the range of $115 million to $120 million. According to the Company, the reason for this revised guidance was that its revenue growth was being negatively impacted by expanding regulatory queues, causing delays in the launch of DocAlert® messages and the lengthening of the time between contract signing and revenue recognition.
On this news, shares of Epocrates declined $6.80 per share, nearly 40%, to close on August 10, 2011, at $9.89 per share, on heavy trading volume.
