MannKind Corporation Reports 2012 First Quarter Financial Results

VALENCIA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 9, 2012-- MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq: MNKD) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

For the first quarter of 2012, total operating expenses were $33.9 million, compared to $38.1 million for the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of $4.1 million. Research and development (R&D) expenses were $24.2 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $26.3 million for the same quarter in 2011, a decrease of $2.1 million. This 8% decrease was primarily due to the decrease in salary related costs as a result of the February 2011 reduction in force, partially offset by an increase in clinical trial related activities. General and administrative (G&A) expenses decreased by $2.0 million to $9.8 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $11.8 million in the first quarter of 2011. This 17% decrease in G&A expense was primarily due to the decrease in salary related costs as a result of the February 2011 reduction in force.

The net loss applicable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2012 was $38.2 million, or $0.27 per share based on 143.2 million weighted average shares outstanding, compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $41.5 million, or $0.34 per share based on 121.1 million weighted average shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2011. The number of common shares outstanding at March 31, 2012 was 167.8 million.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $56.7 million at March 31, 2012 and $3.2 million at December 31, 2011.

On May 9, 2012, the Company amended its note with The Mann Group LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s principal stockholder. The amendment extends the maturity date of the $350.0 million loan arrangement from March 31, 2013 to July 1, 2013. The Company can continue to borrow under the amended terms of the note until June 30, 2012. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company borrowed $6.3 million under the loan agreement and $38.8 million remains available to borrow.

On February 8, 2012, the Company sold $86.3 million of units in an underwritten public offering, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.6 of a share of common stock. Net proceeds from this offering, which reflects the full exercise of an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters, were approximately $80.6 million, excluding any warrant exercises.
