MANNKIND CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Company to Review Clinical Trials, Manufacturing Process, and
Financial Outlook on Today’s 9:00 a.m. EDT Conference Call
VALENCIA, Calif. (July 28, 2005) – MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq NM: MNKD) today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005.
For the second quarter of 2005, total operating expenses were $27.6 million, compared with $18.4 million for the second quarter of 2004. Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by $9.3 million to $23.6 million, primarily due to increased costs associated with the Company’s expanded clinical trials and related support for its Technosphere® Insulin program. General and administrative (G&A) expenses decreased by $0.1 million to $4.0 million.
For the first six months of 2005, operating expenses totaled $50.2 million, compared with $35.0 million in the first half of 2004. R&D expenses were $42.3 million, up $15.2 million, again primarily related to the expansion of clinical trials of MannKind’s Technosphere® Insulin program. G&A expenses increased by $0.1 million to $7.9 million for the first half of 2005.
The net loss applicable to common stockholders for the first half of 2005 was $49.3 million, or $1.50 per share based on 32.8 million shares outstanding, compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $35.3 million, or $1.77 per share based on 20.0 million shares outstanding, for the first half of 2004.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $42.4 million at June 30, 2005 and $90.5 million at December 31, 2004.
“During this past quarter, we achieved a significant milestone in the development of our inhaled Technosphere® Insulin System as a unique and innovative treatment for diabetes. We initiated a pivotal Phase 3 safety study in the United States, involving patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This is our second Phase 3 trial, the first being an efficacy study that we have been conducting in Europe since late 2004, in which

 


 

patient enrollment is ahead of schedule. We expect these studies to add to the growing evidence of the safety and efficacy of inhaled Technosphere® Insulin, such as our completed phase 2b study in which HbA1c levels decreased significantly within a three-month period compared to control with no increase in the risk of hypoglycemia,” said Alfred Mann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MannKind Corporation.
