MANNKIND CORPORATION REPORTS SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Company to Review Clinical Trials, Manufacturing Process, and
Financial Outlook on Todays 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 Companys
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 MannKinds 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.
