Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

CAMBRIDGE, MA — July 31, 2014 — Momenta Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MNTA) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014.

For the second quarter of 2014, the company reported a net loss of $(26.2) million, or $(0.51) per share, compared to a net loss of $(28.8) million, or $(0.57) per share for the same period in 2013.  At June 30, 2014, the company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $202.3 million.

“Following the Supreme Court’s decision to review the Federal Circuit ruling in our generic Copaxone litigation, we adjusted our operations and re-focused on executing towards our critical 2014 milestones” said Craig A. Wheeler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Momenta Pharmaceuticals.

“We took action to ensure our portfolio would continue moving forward amidst the financial uncertainty of the Copaxone situation” continued Mr. Wheeler.  “We are working towards several milestones that are indicative of our operational progress: we are advancing toward a regulatory submission of our lead biosimilars program — M923 — by the end of 2014, and expect to achieve a development milestone on M834 in the second half of 2014 as well. In addition, we expect to complete the Part A study of our necuparanib (M402) program shortly, with data available later this year and plan to initiate the Part B study by the end of the year.”

Second Quarter Highlights and Recent Events

Complex Generics:

M356, generic version of Copaxone (Glatiramer Acetate Injection)

·                  The ANDA for M356 continues to be under active review by the U.S. FDA. The company and its collaboration partner, Sandoz, are preparing for the potential launch of this generic in 2014, pending U.S. FDA approval.

·                  On March 31, 2014, the Supreme Court of the United States granted Teva’s request for certiorari in our generic Copaxone patent litigation. The Supreme Court hearing date for the case has been set for October 15, 2014.

·                  On May 14, 2014, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied Teva’s request to overturn the FDA’s denial of its sixth Citizens Petition that sought to prevent  generic Copaxone ANDA approval and dismissed the suit.

Enoxaparin Sodium Injection

·                  In the second quarter of 2014, Momenta earned $5.7 million in product revenues from enoxaparin sodium injection based on Sandoz reported net sales of $54.2 million.

Biosimilar and Potentially Interchangeable Biologics:

·                  Momenta continues to progress its biosimilars portfolio.  M923 and M834 are biosimilars for branded biologics indicated for certain autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.  Under its global biosimilar collaboration with Baxter, Momenta expects to achieve milestones with an aggregate value of $19 million in the second half of 2014 for products M923 and M834.  Momenta and Baxter are pursuing a global regulatory strategy for M923 and expect to submit a clinical trial application towards the end of 2014, which would allow clinical initiation in Europe.  For M834, the company expects to achieve a pre-defined development milestone in the second half of 2014.

·                  Baxter’s option to select up to three additional biosimilars to be included in the collaboration expires in February 2015.

·                  Momenta has made the portfolio decision to discontinue development efforts on M511, a biosimilar program indicated for oncology.  Resources previously allocated to M511 will be reallocated to Momenta’s earlier-stage biosimilar program portfolio and to broadening Momenta’s biosimilars technology base.

Novel Drug:

Necuparanib (M402 novel oncology candidate)

·                  Momenta expects to complete the Part A dose escalation component of the Phase 1/2 trial evaluating necuparanib in combination with Abraxane® (nab-paclitaxel) and gemcitabine in patients with advanced metastatic pancreatic cancer, and to report clinical data from Part A in the second half of 2014.

·                  The company plans to initiate Part B of the study by the end of 2014. Part B will be a randomized, controlled study to evaluate the antitumor activity of necuparanib in combination with Abraxane plus gemcitabine, versus Abraxane plus gemcitabine alone.

Sialylation Technology and Fc Biology Research

In 2014, Momenta continues to advance its research programs by seeking to identify an Fc-containing recombinant product candidate by the end of the year. The company is also investigating opportunities to partner further development of a sialylated plasma-derived IVIG.

Second Quarter 2014 Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2014 were $11.0 million (including enoxaparin product revenue of $5.7 million), compared to $4.3 million (including enoxaparin product revenue of $1.6 million) for the same period in 2013.  Sandoz reported second quarter 2014 enoxaparin net sales of $54.2 million. The increase in enoxaparin product revenue of $4.1 million from the 2013 period to the 2014 period is primarily due to a lower annual claw-back adjustment related to enoxaparin development and legal expenses.

Collaborative research and development revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $5.3 million, compared to $2.7 million in the same quarter last year. The increase of $2.6 million in collaborative revenue between comparable periods is due to reimbursable M923 expenses.

Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 2014 were $26.1 million, compared to $22.0 million for the same period in 2013.  The increase of $4.1 million from the 2013 period to the 2014 period resulted from increases of: $2.5 million in process development and third-party contract research costs related to our biosimilars and novel drugs programs; $1.2 million in facility related costs due to additional subleased laboratory and office space; and $0.8 million in personnel and related costs associated with our headcount growth to support our programs. These increases were offset by a $0.4 million decrease in biosimilars consulting fees.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, were $11.2 million, compared with $11.5 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees.

At June 30, 2014, Momenta had $202.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. This cash position excludes restricted cash of $20.7 million, of which $17.5 million is reserved as collateral for a security bond related to enoxaparin legal proceedings, and $3.2 million for letters of credit related to the company’s two leased facilities.

Financial Guidance

Today, Momenta updated its financial guidance for the second half of 2014: Momenta expects total operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation and net of collaborative revenues, to average $28 to $30 million per quarter.  Momenta is projecting that its net cash usage, excluding revenue from the potential launch of M356, will average approximately $26 million per quarter.  Cash burn for the fourth quarter of 2014 is expected to be partially offset by $19 million from milestone payments earned under the Baxter collaboration, although all or a portion of these milestone payments could be received in the first quarter of 2015.
