BIODEL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2014 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Conference Call and Audio Webcast Will be Held Today, February 6th, at 5:00 p.m. ET
DANBURY, Conn., February 6, 2014- Biodel Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOD) today reported financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Portfolio highlights since last fiscal quarter:
| · | Completed dosing in Study 3-150, a Phase 1 clinical trial comparing Biodel’s proprietary insulin formulation, BIOD-531, to the marketed products Humulin® R U-500 and Humalog® Mix 75/25. |
| · | Continued progress on the glucagon rescueEZMix™GEM program, including completion of dose ranging safety studies in preparation for initiation of GLP toxicology study in the 1st calendar quarter, with projected near term milestones including an IND filing in the 3rd calendar quarter and initiation of pivotal trial in the 4th calendar quarter of 2014. |
| · | Presenting "Novel Formulations to Modify Mealtime Insulin Kinetics" in the Mealtime Insulin Industry Session at the 7th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes in Vienna, Austria, February 5-8, 2014. |
Dr. Errol De Souza, president and chief executive officer of Biodel, stated: “With the continued advancement of BIOD-531 and the GEM program, Biodel’s portfolio has expanded beyond our historical focus on ultra-rapid-acting prandial insulins. The diversified nature of our portfolio requires a tailored development and commercialization strategy. To optimize the risk adjusted return across the portfolio, we intend to fund the more expensive and higher risk ultra-rapid-acting prandial insulin programs to critical inflection points, such as proof-of-concept, thereby giving us the opportunity for significant upside upon a possible partnership, while minimizing funding requirements. Programs with shorter timelines, lower risk profiles, and lower development cost, such as GEM, will be funded through an NDA, allowing us to realize more of the upside. We look forward to reporting on key milestones in 2014, such as the pending BIOD-531 Phase 1 data and the initiation of the GEM pivotal study, as we execute upon this strategy.”

Research and development expenses were $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $4.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in research and development expenses was primarily attributable to the completion of our Phase 2 clinical trial of BIOD-123.
