Cypress Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: CYPB) today announced financial
results for the third quarter of 2010. The Company reported total
revenue of $8.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010,
which includes commercial revenues of $7.2 million and revenues
under collaborative agreement of $0.8 million. For the quarter
ended September 30, 2010, the Company reported a net loss from
continuing operations of $40.1 million or $1.04 per share compared
to a net loss from continuing operations of $4.7 million or $0.12
per share for the same period in 2009. In connection with the
Company's sale of its personalized medicine services business, the
results of the personalized medicine services business are included
in discontinued operations for all periods presented. At September
30, 2010, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments
totaling $96.3 million.
The Company reported revenues of $8.0 million and $24.9 million
for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010,
respectively, compared to $5.5 million and $19.1 million for the
same periods in 2009. The $7.2 million in commercial revenues the
Company reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 includes
royalty revenues of $3.2 million and sales force reimbursement of
$3.6 million in connection with the sales of Savella. The sales
force reimbursement of $3.6 million recognized during the third
quarter of 2010 includes a one-time fee of $2.0 million received
from Forest Laboratories in connection with the discontinuation of
the Company's rights under its agreement with Forest Laboratories
to co-promote Savella. As previously announced, the Company will no
longer be selling Savella or receiving sales force reimbursement in
connection with sales of Savella; however, the Company will retain
all other rights under its agreement with Forest Laboratories,
including its royalty on Savella sales generated by Forest
Laboratories.
Total operating expenses for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 were $48.2 million and $70.6 million,
respectively, compared to $10.5 million and $39.7 million for the
same periods in 2009. The increase in operating expenses for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to
one-time upfront payments recognized as research and development
expenses during the third quarter of 2010 in connection with
licensing and asset purchase agreements for new compounds, which
target large unmet medical needs for patients suffering from
disorders of the central nervous system. Additionally, the Company
recorded a restructuring charge in the amount of $3.7 million
during the third quarter of 2010 in connection with a reduction in
its workforce by approximately 86%.
