Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results

— Milestones Achieved in Four Clinical Programs During the Quarter

PALO ALTO, Calif., November 6, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ net loss for the third quarter of 2007 was $19.4 million, compared to net income of $7.7 million for the third quarter of 2006. Net income in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 included $31.6 million of gain on extinguishment of a development financing obligation in connection with a terminated development program.

Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $21.5 million, compared to $11.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The increase in total revenue resulted primarily from $7.5 million of contract revenue related to achievement of a clinical enrollment milestone in the Phase III development program of JZP-6 for fibromyalgia syndrome. Xyrem® net sales were $9.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2007, compared with $7.6 million for the same quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, total revenues increased to $49.8 million, compared to $32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $17.0 million, compared to $14.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $18.1 million, compared to $12.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to spending in preparation for the anticipated launch of Luvox® CR (fluvoxamine maleate extended release capsules), increased headcount and higher expenses to support the sales force, offset in part by lower legal fees.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of September 30, 2007 was $130.9 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was $15.4 million.

“As our commercial organization ramps up for the anticipated commercial launch of Luvox CR in early 2008, we have also made progress in all four of our most advanced clinical development programs during the past few months,” said Samuel R. Saks, M.D., Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to make important progress on our development programs for the treatment of fibromyalgia, recurrent acute repetitive seizures, restless legs syndrome and partial epilepsy.”

Recent Highlights

 

   

Expansion of Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ specialty sales force in preparation for the commercial launch of Luvox CR began in August 2007, with more than 100 new field sales management and specialty sales consultants hired as of October 31, 2007. The PDUFA action date for Luvox CR is December 22, 2007. The company expects to commence promotion of Luvox CR in the United States during the first quarter of 2008, subject to approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

 

   

In August 2007, a clinical enrollment milestone was achieved in the Phase III development program for fibromyalgia syndrome, JZP-6, triggering a $7.5 million payment to Jazz Pharmaceuticals under the company’s development agreement with UCB Pharma Limited. The payment was recognized as contract revenue in the third quarter of 2007.


   

In September 2007, Jazz Pharmaceuticals submitted an Investigational New Drug application to the FDA for JZP-8, a product candidate for the treatment of recurrent acute repetitive seizures. The FDA has indicated that a future New Drug Application filing for this product candidate could be eligible to receive priority review. The company plans to initiate a Phase II clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2007.

 

   

Interim data have been obtained from two single dose studies, one in healthy volunteers and one in epilepsy patients, of JZP-4, a product candidate for the treatment of partial epilepsy and bipolar disorder. The data from both of these studies indicate biological activity in human epilepsy models. A single dose study of a controlled-release formulation of JZP-4 is underway, and is expected to complete in the fourth quarter of 2007. Jazz Pharmaceuticals plans to initiate Phase II clinical trial activities for JZP-4 by the end of 2007.

 

   

A second pharmacokinetic study of JZP-7, a product candidate for the treatment of restless legs syndrome, was initiated in the third quarter of 2007, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals expects top line results from that study in the second quarter of 2008.

 

   

In August 2007, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) awarded Jazz Pharmaceuticals a new U.S. patent (No. 7,262,219) titled “Microbiologically Sound and Stable Solutions of Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate Salt for the Treatment of Narcolepsy.” This Xyrem patent is now listed in the FDA’s Orange Book.

     23,671       13,417       20,483       13,212  
                                

(1) Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders and weighted-average shares used in computing non-GAAP income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders treats outstanding preferred shares as if they were converted into common shares at their date of issuance. Accordingly, the beneficial conversion feature attributable to preferred stockholders is not included in non-GAAP net income (loss) per share. Management believes that including non-GAAP net income (loss) per share for periods prior to and including the Company’s June 2007 initial public offering provides a useful and relevant measure for comparative year-over- year operating performance. Management does not believe the use of non-GAAP net income (loss) per share lessens the importance of comparable GAAP measures. As of September 30, 2007, 24,550,554 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.
