SAN DIEGO, Calif., March 3, 2011 — Zogenix, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZGNX), a pharmaceutical company commercializing and developing products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and pain, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2010.
Zogenix launched SUMAVEL® DosePro™ (sumatriptan injection) Needle-free Delivery System in the United States in January 2010, for the acute treatment of migraine and cluster headache with its co-promotion partner Astellas Pharma US, Inc. SUMAVEL DosePro offers fast-acting, easy-to-use, needle-free subcutaneous administration of sumatriptan in a pre-filled, single-use delivery system. The combination of these unique product attributes allows physicians to prescribe SUMAVEL DosePro to address important unmet needs of many migraine sufferers.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter and full-year 2010 was $8.8 million and $23.4 million, respectively, and consisted of net product revenue and contract revenue. Net product revenue for SUMAVEL DosePro for the fourth quarter 2010 was $7.2 million, an increase of 27% from the third quarter 2010. For the full-year 2010, net product revenue was $19.1 million.
Roger Hawley, chief executive officer of Zogenix, stated, “In the first year of launch, SUMAVEL DosePro gained significant traction in the U.S. migraine market, where 50% of patients are dissatisfied with current treatments. SUMAVEL DosePro is being prescribed for patients new to the triptan market and for patients on dual triptan therapy, providing them with treatment options for different types of attacks. SUMAVEL DosePro is being used as a treatment alternative for patients who require fast onset of pain relief during migraine attacks as well as by those who do not adequately respond to oral triptans for more challenging migraine attacks that are very painful, disabling and disruptive to their lives and careers.”
Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2010 Financial Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter and full-year 2010 was $8.8 million and $23.4 million, respectively, and consisted of net product revenue and contract revenue. Zogenix began recognizing product revenue related to SUMAVEL DosePro upon the U.S. commercial launch in January 2010. As such, no product revenue was generated in the year ended December 31, 2009.
Net product revenue on sales of SUMAVEL DosePro for the fourth quarter 2010 was $7.2 million, up 27% from $5.7 million in the third quarter 2010. Net product revenue for the full-year was $19.1 million, consisting of $18.7 million in SUMAVEL DosePro prescriptions dispensed to patients in the U.S. and $0.4 million in sales to Zogenix’s E.U. commercialization partner Desitin.
Contract revenue for the fourth quarter and full-year 2010 was $1.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively, reflecting the amortization of license and milestone payments received from Astellas.
Cost of sales for the fourth quarter 2010 was $4.6 million compared to $2.9 million in the third quarter 2010. Gross margin was 36% in fourth quarter 2010, compared to 49% in the third quarter. For the full year 2010, cost of sales was $12.8 million and gross margin was 33%. Cost of sales and gross margin for the fourth quarter and full-year 2010 reflect manufacturing capacity established to allow further growth with minimal additional investment.
Royalty expense for the fourth quarter and full-year 2010 were $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter 2010 were $9.2 million, up 16% from $8.0 million in the third quarter 2010. Research and development expenses for the full-year 2010 were $28.6 million, compared to $21.4 million in the prior full-year. The increase in fourth quarter and full-year research and development expenses reflect the initiation of two concurrent and ongoing Phase 3 clinical trials for ZX002 in the first quarter of 2010; both of these trials are now fully enrolled.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter 2010 were $13.3 million, up 6% from $12.5 million in the third quarter 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the full-year 2010 were $51.3 million, compared to $14.1 million in the prior full-year. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter and full-year 2010 are primarily related to commercial activity for
SUMAVEL DosePro, including service fee costs for promotional efforts provided by Astellas; cost of product samples and marketing programs; and costs associated with the Zogenix sales force.
Net loss for the fourth quarter 2010 was $2.1 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to a net loss of $22.1 million, or $16.00 per share, in the third quarter 2010. Net loss for the full-year 2010 was $73.6 million, or $17.63 per share, compared to a net loss of $45.9 million, or $40.97 per share in 2009.
In the fourth quarter 2010, Zogenix raised gross proceeds of $57.7 million in an initial public offering of 14.4 million shares. Cash and cash equivalents were $49.2 million as of December 31, 2010. Based on the current operating plan, Zogenix believes its cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2010, together with future product revenue and borrowings, will be sufficient to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2011.
Ann Rhoads, chief financial officer of Zogenix, commented, “Following the completion of our initial public offering, we are focused on driving further growth of SUMAVEL DosePro and advancing ZX002 toward potential regulatory approval. We expect to announce top-line efficacy trial results in the third quarter of this year.”
ZX002 (Hydrocodone) Clinical Update
Zogenix has completed enrollment in the Phase 3 safety (Study 802) and efficacy (Study 801) trials of ZX002, a novel, oral capsule, single-entity, controlled release formulation of hydrocodone for the treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain in patients requiring around-the-clock opioid therapy for an extended period of time. Results from the Phase 3 efficacy trial are anticipated in the third quarter of 2011.
Pending positive Phase 3 clinical results, Zogenix expects to submit a new drug application (NDA) for ZX002 with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by early 2012. If approved, ZX002 has the potential to be the first oral controlled-release version of hydrocodone and also the first hydrocodone product that is not combined with another analgesic.
Stephen J. Farr, Ph.D., president and chief operating officer of Zogenix, said, “ZX002 does not contain acetaminophen, which can cause liver toxicity at high doses over time, and may address the FDA and the public’s safety concerns surrounding acetaminophen-containing prescription pain products. Clinical studies of ZX002 to date have demonstrated a pharmacokinetic profile that supports twice-daily dosing. We believe ZX002 presents a beneficial treatment for patients using immediate-release hydrocodone combination products on a chronic basis, and an alternative for patients already using extended-release opioids for the management of their moderate to severe pain.”
2011 Financial Guidance
For the full-year 2011, the Company anticipates total revenue in the range of $46 million to $52 million which includes $6 million of contract revenue from the Astellas co-promotion agreement.
Gross margin range is expected to be 50% to 60% for 2011, with first quarter margins near the low end of the range. Margin improvement is anticipated throughout the year, as volume increases.
Expenses for 2011 research and development are expected to be consistent with 2010 research and development expenses, with spending somewhat weighted to the first half of the year to complete the Phase 3 clinical trials of ZX002.
Actual financial results for the full-year 2011 could vary based upon many factors, including, but not limited to, the rate of growth of SUMAVEL DosePro sales and the actual cost of research and development activities.

| (1) | Certain prior quarter amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company changed its classification of manufacturing variances incurred in the production of sample product to selling, general and administrative expenses. These expenses were previously recorded under cost of sales. Accordingly, cost of sales has been increased by approximately $57,000 in the first quarter of 2010 and reduced by $584,000, $643,000, and $473,000 in the second quarter, third quarter, and fourth quarter of 2010, respectively. This reclassification does not have any effect on net loss for 2010, nor does it have any effect on prior years. |
