PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAZZ) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010, and updated financial guidance for 2010. The company's updated 2010 financial guidance reflects higher expected sales of XYREM® (sodium oxybate) oral solution and lower expected expenses.

Total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $44.8 million, up 45 percent compared to $30.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Total net product sales of Xyrem and LUVOX CR® (fluvoxamine maleate) extended-release capsules were $43.8 million, an increase of 46 percent from the third quarter of 2009.

For the third quarter of 2010, Xyrem net sales were $37.2 million, compared to $25.0 million for the third quarter of 2009, representing a 49 percent increase. The increase in Xyrem net sales in the third quarter of 2010 was primarily due to the impact of price increases, as well as to a lesser extent, an increase in prescription volume. Net sales of once-daily Luvox CR were $6.6 million for the quarter, up 33 percent compared to $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2009.

"These positive financial results and our increased guidance for 2010 highlight the success of our ongoing commercial operations, particularly the strength of our Xyrem business," said Bruce Cozadd, chairman and chief executive officer of Jazz Pharmaceuticals. "We look forward to gaining clarity from the FDA regarding next steps for JZP-6 in fibromyalgia, and as we look towards 2011, we remain committed to delivering attractive earnings growth driven by strong sales of our currently marketed products."

Research and development expenses were $7.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $7.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 were $18.0 million, compared to $15.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to higher personnel costs, including stock-based compensation, and activities related to the company's JZP-6 product candidate.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2010 was $1.2 million, compared to $5.4 million for the prior year period. The significant decline in interest expense reflects a substantially lower principal amount of outstanding debt at a lower interest rate than in 2009.

For the third quarter of 2010, the company reported GAAP net income of $13.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.

Adjusted net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $17.2 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the same period of 2009. Adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude from GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share revenue related to upfront and milestone payments, and certain expenses comprised of loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and non-cash interest expense associated with debt discount and debt issuance costs. A reconciliation of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share to GAAP net income (loss) and GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share is available in a table included at the end of this press release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial results and financial guidance presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measures adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share as shown in the tables above. These measures exclude (1) revenue related to upfront and milestone payments, and (2) certain expenses comprised of the loss on extinguishment of debt, amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and non-cash interest expense associated with debt discount and debt issuance costs. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results, are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our management regularly uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. Compensation of our executives is based in part on the performance of our business based on these non-GAAP measures. In addition, we believe that the use of these non-GAAP measures enhances the ability of investors to compare our results both from period to period and with those of other companies. Investors should note that adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per diluted share, as used by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by our competitors and other companies.
