Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks, changes in circumstances, assumptions and uncertainties.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the Company’s forward-looking statements include, among others: Vanda’s failure to obtain regulatory approval for its products or product candidates, particularly tasimelteon for the treatment of Non-24-Hour Disorder, or to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements; Vanda’s loss of rights to develop and commercialize its products, product candidates or partnered products under its license and sublicense agreements; Vanda’s failure to develop or obtain sales, marketing and distribution resources and expertise or to otherwise manage its growth; Vanda’s ability to successfully commercialize tasimelteon following regulatory approval, if any; the extent and effectiveness of the development, sales and marketing and distribution support Fanapt® receives; Vanda’s ability to successfully commercialize Fanapt® outside of the U.S. and Canada; delays in the completion of Vanda’s or its partners’ clinical trials; a failure of Vanda’s products, product candidates or partnered products to be demonstrably safe and effective; a lack of acceptance of Vanda’s products, product candidates or partnered products in the marketplace, or a failure to become or remain profitable; Vanda’s expectations regarding trends with respect to its revenues, costs, expenses and liabilities; Vanda’s inability to obtain the capital necessary to fund its research and development or commercial activities; the costs and effects of current or potential litigation; Vanda’s failure to identify or obtain rights to new products or product candidates; limitations on Vanda’s ability to utilize some or all of its prior net operating losses and research and development credits; a loss of any of Vanda’s key scientists or management personnel; losses incurred from product liability claims made against Vanda and other factors that are described in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Vanda’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 which is on file with the SEC and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition to the risks described above and in Vanda’s annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect Vanda’s results. There can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by Vanda will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Vanda. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the outcomes stated in such forward-looking statements and estimates will be achieved.

All written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to Vanda or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein. Vanda cautions investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements Vanda makes or that are made on its behalf. The information conveyed on the conference call will be provided only as of the date of the call, and Vanda undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements made during the call after the date thereof, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

WASHINGTON – July 31, 2013 – Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Key Highlights:

 

   

On July 29, 2013 Vanda announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the filing and granted priority review classification to Vanda’s New Drug Application (NDA) for tasimelteon, a circadian regulator for the treatment of Non-24-Hour Disorder (Non-24) in the totally blind.

 

   

The FDA determined the action target date under Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA-V) to be January 31, 2014. The FDA has also tentatively scheduled an advisory committee meeting to discuss the tasimelteon application on November 14, 2013.

SECOND QUARTER 2013 REPORTED RESULTS

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2013 were $8.3 million, compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2012. Second quarter 2013 revenues included $1.6 million in Fanapt® royalties received from Novartis as compared to royalties of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2012.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2013 were $11.4 million, compared to $16.5 million for the second quarter of 2012. The primary driver of the lower expenses in the second quarter of 2013 was the completion of the tasimelteon Non-24 and Major Depressive Disorder efficacy studies.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

On July 29, 2013, Vanda announced that the FDA accepted the filing and granted a priority review classification to Vanda’s NDA for tasimelteon, a circadian regulator for the treatment of Non-24 in the totally blind. Currently, there is no approved treatment for Non-24 and tasimelteon has the potential to address this unmet medical need. The FDA determined the action target date under Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA-V), to be January 31, 2014. The FDA has also tentatively scheduled an advisory committee meeting to discuss the tasimelteon application on November 14, 2013.

Vanda continues to expand its activities in support of Non-24 disease awareness and education with professional, advocacy and patient groups. In June 2013, Vanda presented data from the SET and RESET studies at the 27th Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, SLEEP 2013, and the 95th Annual Endocrine Society Meeting, ENDO 2013.

Vanda recorded second quarter 2013 revenue of $8.3 million including $6.7 million in licensing revenue related to the amortization of the upfront payment received from Novartis for U.S. and Canadian commercial rights to Fanapt® and Fanapt® royalties of $1.6 million. Fanapt® prescriptions, as reported by IMS, were approximately 41,400 for the second quarter of 2013. This represents a 11% increase over second quarter 2012 prescriptions and a 7% increase versus first quarter 2013 prescriptions.

AFFIRMS 2013 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Consistent with prior guidance, 2013 expenses are expected to reflect lower research and development spending as compared to 2012 and an increase in commercial spending.

 

   

Full year 2013 decrease in Cash is expected to be between $45.0 and $50.0 million, compared to $47.5 million for 2012.

 

   

Total 2013 operating expenses are expected to be between $57.0 and $62.0 million. This includes Fanapt® intangible asset amortization of $1.5 million and $4.0 to $6.0 million of non-cash stock based compensation. Total 2012 operating expenses were $61.0 million.

 

   

2013 operating expense guidance includes $3.5 million in milestone payments due upon the acceptance by the FDA of a tasimelteon NDA submission and assumes $4.0 to $5.0 million in NDA filing-related expenses.
