FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Supernus Pharmaceuticals Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
Rockville, MD, June 7, 2012 —Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUPN), a specialty pharmaceutical company, today reported consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2012, and provided an update on key accomplishments to date and expected milestones for 2012.
“We are very excited to be a public company, and look forward to building a successful commercial enterprise, starting with the launch of our first two central nervous system, or CNS, products” said Jack A. Khattar, President and CEO of Supernus. “We continue to have an active dialogue with the FDA regarding the filings for SPN-538 and SPN-804. We continue to build out the infrastructure for both the sales and marketing commercial teams as planned. With respect to our product pipeline, we are pleased to report that our Phase IIb trial for SPN-810 is now fully recruited with 120 patients.”
First quarter 2012 Financial Results
· Cash, cash equivalents and unrestricted marketable securities of $37.4 million at March 31, 2012.
· Research and development (R&D) expense for first quarter 2012 was $5.4 million compared with $7.5 million in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the conclusion of the SPN-538 and SPN-804 clinical trials in 2011.
· General and administrative (G&A) expense for first quarter 2012 was $2.7 million compared with $1.7 million in 2011. The increase was primarily due to higher sales and marketing infrastructure expenses, as we prepare to launch SPN-538 and SPN-804.
· Net loss applicable to common shareholders for first quarter 2012 was $10.1 million or $6.05 per common share (based on 1.7 million weighted average shares outstanding), compared with $11.9 million, or $7.48 per common share, for 2011 (based on 1.6 million weighted average shares outstanding).
· Net loss per share has been adjusted for the 4 for 1 reverse stock split in April 2012, but does not include the impact of the conversion of the preferred stock into 12.5 million shares of common stock concurrent with the IPO, nor the additional shares issued consequent to the IPO.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Supernus continues to expect cash burn to range from $65 million to $70 million for calendar year 2012. In May 2012, the Company realized cash proceeds of $47.6 million from the initial public offering of its common stock and underwriter’s exercise of the overallotment option, after applying financing costs of approximately $3.3 million. These costs were incurred and paid from 2010 through 2012 throughout the initial public offering process. Based on our current plans, Supernus continues to anticipate that this capital should be sufficient to fund operations into the second quarter of 2013.
