    Insmed Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2007 Financial Results

    RICHMOND, Va., March 4, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Insmed Inc. (Nasdaq CM: INSM), a developer of follow-on biologics and biopharmaceuticals, today reported results for the quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2007.

    Full-Year 2007 and Recent Company Highlights

    -- Follow-on Biologics Program
    -- Completed development of INS-19 (Granulocyte Colony Stimulating
    Factor or G-CSF) and INS-20 (Peg G-CSF), positioning these
    products to enter clinical trials in 2008;
    -- Testified at two congressional hearings - "Safe and Affordable
    Biotech Drugs - The Need for a Generic Pathway" and "Assessing the
    Impact of a Safe and Equitable Biosimilar Policy in the United
    States" where Geoffrey Allan, Ph.D., the Company's President and
    CEO, urged the need to create a regulatory pathway for the
    approval of follow-on biologics ("FOBs") in the U.S.;
    -- Appointed Steve Glover, who has approximately 25 years of
    biotechnology experience, as President of the Company's FOB
    program in order to most effectively leverage Insmed's scientific
    capabilities in the field;
    -- Completed external market assessment using a major U.S. market
    research firm, which indicated a $9 billion annual market
    potential for the Company's FOB candidates whose corresponding
    innovator products' patents expire within the next eight years;
    -- Launched a broad education campaign on the importance of
    establishing a regulatory pathway for FOBs in the U.S.; and
    -- Commissioned econometric study by economist Dr. Robert J. Shapiro,
    former Under Secretary of Commerce in the Clinton Administration,
    that identified potential cost savings of approximately $378
    billion over the next 20 years from making FOBs available in the
    U.S.

    -- IPLEX(TM)
    -- Made IPLEX(TM) available to physicians in Italy at the request of
    the Italian Ministry of Health to treat patients with Amyotrophic
    Lateral Sclerosis ("ALS"), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease,
    through an expanded access program ("EAP"), with the Company
    receiving cost recovery payments for IPLEX(TM) from the Italian
    Health Authorities. EAP currently includes 15 physicians and
    approximately 70 subjects, and the Company received cost recovery
    of $5.4 million for IPLEX(TM) supplied to the EAP in the full-year
    2007;
    -- Announced positive results from a Phase 2 investigator-sponsored
    study of IPLEX(TM) in six patients with myotonic muscular
    dystrophy ("MMD") that met the primary study endpoints of being
    safe and well-tolerated, and indicated improvements in patients'
    muscle mass, cholesterol and triglycerides;
    -- Initiated a 24-week, multi-center, randomized, double blind,
    placebo-controlled Phase 3 enabling clinical trial with IPLEX(TM)
    in 60 patients with MMD;
    -- Awarded a grant of $2.1 million from the Muscular Dystrophy
    Association ("MDA"), which is expected to cover a substantial
    portion of the external costs associated with the MMD trial;
    -- Granted Orphan Drug designation for IPLEX(TM) for the treatment of
    MMD by the FDA, providing the Company with, among other important
    benefits, seven years of market exclusivity upon approval of
    IPLEX(TM) for the MMD indication; and
    -- Completed an external assessment of the total market for MMD
    treatments that indicated that the market for MMD could be as high
    as between $800 million and $1.4 billion.

    "We are clearly making significant progress in executing on our dual-path business strategy," said Dr. Allan. "Both our FOBs and IPLEX(TM) programs achieved substantial milestones in 2007, and possess significant momentum as we move through 2008. We intend to initiate clinical trials for our first two FOBs this year and will continue to have an active voice on the regulatory pathway issue. In addition, we expect to continue moving IPLEX(TM) through the clinic in multiple indications, having prioritized MMD as the initial primary indication."

    Financial Results for Fourth Quarter and Full-year 2007

    Revenues for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 were $2.1 million, up from $502,000 for the corresponding period in 2006. The increase was mainly attributable to improvements in cost recovery from our EAP to treat patients with ALS. This was partially offset by the revenues lost from our withdrawal of IPLEX(TM) from the short stature market pursuant to the terms of our Settlement Agreement.

    The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $3.3 million or $0.03 per share, compared with a net loss of $21.4 million or $0.21 per share in the fourth quarter of 2006. This improvement was attributable to a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A Expenses"), which fell to $947,000 from $9.7 million and the elimination of both a $7.1 million asset impairment charge and an $836,000 cost of goods sold charge, which occurred in 2006. These were partially offset by an increase in research and development expenses ("R&D Expenses") from $4.3 million to $4.5 million.

    The reduction in SG&A Expenses was due primarily to reduced litigation expenses and the elimination of commercial expenses associated with our business restructuring plan. The elimination of the asset impairment charge and cost of goods sold resulted from our withdrawal of IPLEX(TM) from the short stature market, while the higher R&D Expenses reflected an increase in our clinical activity.

    Interest income in the fourth quarter of 2007 fell to $264,000 from $528,000 in same period of 2006. This was due to the combination of a lower average cash balance on hand and lower interest rates during the most recent quarter. Interest expense declined to $217,000 in the most recent period from $552,000 during the corresponding period of 2006 due to the lower conversion of notes into common stock, which resulted in a reduced debt discount amortization charge for the last quarter of 2007.

    Revenues for the full-year 2007 totaled $7.5 million, up from $991,000 in the corresponding period of 2006. This increase was due to improvements in the cost recovery from our EAP and the receipt of licensing income from our agreement with NAPO Pharmaceuticals Inc., ("NAPO"), combined with increased sales of IPLEX(TM) during the first quarter of 2007.

    The net loss for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007 was $20.0 million or $0.17 per share, compared to $56.1 million or $0.59 per share for the 12 months ended December 31, 2006. R&D Expenses dropped to $18.9 million from $21.1 million, reflecting lower litigation expenses which were included in R&D Expenses during the first quarter of 2006, and reduced commercial manufacturing activity in 2007. SG&A Expenses fell to $8.5 million from $25.7 million, due to a combination of reduced litigation expenses, which were included in SG&A Expenses for the final three quarters of 2006, and the el

SG&A Expenses fell to $8.5 million from $25.7 million, due to a combination of reduced litigation expenses, which were included in SG&A Expenses for the final three quarters of 2006, and the elimination of commercial expenses in 2007.

    Interest income for the full-year 2007 was $1.2 million, compared to $1.9 million for the full-year 2006. This decrease was mainly due to lower interest rates and a lower average cash balance for the full-year 2007 as compared to the full-year 2006. Interest expense for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007 was $682,000, compared to $3.7 million for corresponding period of 2006. This decrease in interest expense resulted from lower amortization of the debt discount associated with our March 2005 financing, as a significant acceleration of the discount took place in 2006 due to the conversion of notes into shares of our common stock.

    As of December 31, 2007, we had total cash, cash equivalents and short- term investments on hand of $16.5 million, compared to $24.1 million on hand as of December 31, 2006. The $7.6 million decrease in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments mainly reflected the use of $25.3 million for operating activities and a $500,000 investment in NAPO, which was partially offset by net proceeds of $17.0 million from an offering of our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock and $1.0 million from the reduction of an outstanding letter of credit.

    niemand inhoudelijk kommentaar ?

    doe ik het maar ;-)

    wellicht had men beter gehoopt, maar dat vind ik toch wel "onzin': immers de cijfers zijn goed; ook knap dat bepaalde lasten zijn verlicht, soms met meer dan 50% (was deels al bekend door ontslagen); onderzoeklasten zijn wel progressief verhoogd, maar inkomsten ook gestegen, al kunnen die daar niet tegenop.
    enfin, we moeten phases afwachten, dan komt de koers ook wel.

    Vanaf blijven, handig als je ze al hebt, ik zit hier ook niet om te traden maar om het verlies alleen maar groter te zien worden is niet leuk maar het kan nog erger wat ik aan instapniveaus zag een aantal postings terug. Eigenlijk gewoon de pc een maand uitlaten maar dat lukt niet.
