Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2007 Financial Results
PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug 09, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals' net loss for the second quarter of 2007 was $39.9 million, compared to a net loss of $24.1 million for the second quarter of 2006. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 includes other income of $4.9 million related to a decrease in the value of a preferred stock warrant liability and a charge of $17.5 million related to a previously announced settlement reached with the United States Department of Justice and other federal agencies.
Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $14.3 million, compared to $11.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase in total revenue resulted primarily from increased net sales of Xyrem(R) (sodium oxybate). For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, Xyrem achieved record net sales of $9.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, total revenues were $28.4 million, compared to $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $17.4 million, compared to $14.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to increased spending on Phase III clinical development of JZP-6 for fibromyalgia syndrome, expenses in connection with the scale-up of commercial manufacturing for Luvox(R) CR (fluvoxamine maleate) extended-release capsules and increased headcount.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $18.2 million, compared to $13.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to spending in preparation for the launch of Luvox CR, increased headcount, and higher expenses to support the sales force, offset in part by a reduction in legal fees.
Jazz Pharmaceuticals' unrestricted cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2007 was $148.0 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was $16.7 million.
"We are very pleased with the continued success and growth of our commercial business," said Samuel R. Saks, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "On the development side, our portfolio of product candidates continues to advance, in line with our company's mission to provide important new products for patients and caregivers."

(1) Non-GAAP net loss per share attributable to common stockholders and
weighted-average shares used in computing non-GAAP loss per share
attributable to common stockholders treats outstanding preferred
shares as if they were converted into common shares at their date of
issuance. Management believes that including non-GAAP net 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 loss per share lessens the
importance of comparable GAAP measures. As of June 30, 2007,
24,550,554 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.
