Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2008 Financial Results

XYREM® Sales Reach Record $12.4 Million

PALO ALTO, Calif., August 7, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $15.5 million, compared to $14.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. XYREM® (sodium oxybate oral solution) net sales for the second quarter of 2008 increased 29 percent to $12.4 million, compared with $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2007.

The quarter ended June 30, 2008 also included the first net sales of LUVOX CR® (fluvoxamine maleate) Extended-Release Capsules, which was launched in April 2008. Net sales during the quarter were $0.7 million.

“The response from physicians and patients to this important new treatment option for obsessive compulsive disorder and social anxiety disorder has been very positive,” said Robert Myers, President of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. “We are continuing to expand awareness of LUVOX CR and expect significant prescription growth in the second half of 2008.”

Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were $21.9 million, compared to $17.4 million for the second quarter of 2007. The increase primarily reflected expenses associated with the clinical development of JZP-6 (sodium oxybate) for the treatment of fibromyalgia.

“We expect to report top-line data from the first of two Phase III clinical trials of JZP-6 in the fourth quarter of 2008, and to submit a New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by the end of 2009,” said Samuel Saks, M.D., Chief Executive Officer.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were $34.1 million, compared to $18.2 million for the second quarter of 2007. The increase was primarily due to spending in connection with the launch of LUVOX CR, increased headcount and higher expenses to support the company’s larger sales force.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $51.9 million, compared to $39.9 million in the second quarter of 2007.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $44.6 million. Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance was $54.7 million as of June 30, 2008. Approximately $40 million in cash was raised through three transactions completed subsequent to June 30, 2008.

Recent Highlights

 

   

In June 2008, enrollment was closed with 550 subjects in the first of two Phase III clinical trials of JZP-6 in fibromyalgia. Top-line results for this trial are expected in the fourth quarter of 2008. Enrollment is more than 50 percent complete in the second Phase III clinical trial of JZP-6 at clinical sites in the U.S. and Europe.


   

On June 11, 2008, Jazz Pharmaceuticals announced a reduction in early-stage research and development activities, and delays in the timelines for two clinical development programs, in order to reduce its research and development expenses. The company implemented a workforce reduction of 33 employees to align the organization with its revised strategic goals.

 

   

On June 12, 2008, Harvey Moldofsky, M.D., University of Toronto, and Sarah Alvarez-Horine of Jazz Pharmaceuticals presented abstracts on “Disordered Sleep and Sleep-related Daytime Functioning in Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS)” and “Effects of Sodium Oxybate on Sleep Physiology and Sleep-related Symptoms in Fibromyalgia” at the EULAR (European League Against Rheumatism) meeting in Paris, France.

 

   

On July 21, 2008, Jazz Pharmaceuticals closed a registered direct offering of common stock and warrants with approximately $24.5 million in net proceeds.

 

   

On July 23, 2008, Jazz Pharmaceuticals and UCB Pharma Limited signed an amendment to the XYREM license and distribution agreement between the companies under which Jazz Pharmaceuticals received a $10.0 million payment from UCB.

 

 

 

On August 1, 2008, Jazz Pharmaceuticals divested its Antizol® and Antizol-Vet® products in a sale to Paladin Labs. Jazz Pharmaceuticals received a cash payment of approximately $5.5 million in connection with the sale, and is entitled to receive additional payments based on product sales during the next three years if sales of the products exceed certain levels.
