MANNKIND CORPORATION REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2005
FINANCIAL RESULTS
- Conference Call to Begin Today at 9:00 a.m. ET -
VALENCIA, Calif., February 6, 2006 — MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq NM: MNKD) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.
For the fourth quarter of 2005, total operating expenses were $35.0 million, compared with $21.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. Research and development (R&D) expenses increased by $8.1 million to $28.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004, primarily due to increased costs associated with the Company’s expanded clinical development program for Technosphere® Insulin, which is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe. General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased by $5.3 million to $6.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 primarily due to changes in stock compensation expense and increased consulting and various other general and administrative expenses, such as legal and accounting fees.
The net loss applicable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2005 was $33.3 million, or $0.66 per share based on 50.3 million shares outstanding, compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $21.2 million, or $0.65 per share based on 32.8 million shares outstanding, for the fourth quarter of 2004.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, total operating expenses were $118.1 million, compared with $77.1 million for 2004. R&D expenses were $95.3 million in 2005, up $35.9 million from 2004, primarily related to the expansion of clinical trials of the Technosphere Insulin program. G&A expenses increased by $5.1 million to $22.8 million for 2005 as compared to 2004 primarily related to increased compensation and other employee related costs and increased legal, accounting and consulting fees.

 


 

The net loss applicable to common stockholders for 2005 was $114.3 million, or $2.87 per share based on 39.9 million shares outstanding, compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders of $95.9 million, or $3.80 per share based on 25.2 million shares outstanding for 2004.
“2005 was an exceptional year for MannKind,” said Alfred Mann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MannKind Corporation. “In addition to strengthening our balance sheet and expanding our management team, we added to the growing evidence of the safety, efficacy, and other differentiating qualities of our lead investigational product candidate, Technosphere Insulin, an inhalable form of insulin for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.”
Hakan Edstrom, President and Chief Operating Officer of MannKind Corporation added, “In recent clinical trials, we observed that the Technosphere Insulin System reduces blood glucose excursions following a meal compared to the effect seen with oral or injectable diabetes medications. At the same time, Technosphere Insulin appears to reduce the risk of late postprandial hypoglycemia commonly associated with other diabetes products, without any evidence of weight gain or deterioration in pulmonary function.”

MannKind management will host a conference call to discuss these results today at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. To participate in the call please dial (888) 566-5775 or (210) 839-8503.
