INSM Insmed Inc

Conference Call Begins Today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time

Insmed Incorporated (Nasdaq:INSM) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Highlights of the third quarter of 2014 include:

• Reported its U.S. regulatory strategy to initiate one global phase 3 confirmatory study of ARIKAYCE™, or liposomal amikacin for inhalation, for patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections who failed prior standard of care treatment;
• Announced plans to file a Market Authorization Application (MAA) by year-end 2014 with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for ARIKAYCE for the treatment of two orphan lung diseases: NTM lung infections and Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infections in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF);
• Strengthened the Company’s balance sheet with an underwritten public offering, which provided net proceeds of approximately $108.0 million; and
• Introduced INS-1009 (inhaled treprostinil), the Company’s novel inhalation formulation of a proven prostacyclin for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), with the presentation of several pre-clinical studies at the European Respiratory Society meeting.

“We are pleased with the recent regulatory clarity for our NTM program in both Europe and the U.S. We continue to advance our regulatory filing and our preparations for commercialization in Europe, while simultaneously moving forward with our global phase 3 study in NTM patients who failed prior standard-of-care treatment. We expect to initiate this global NTM study in early 2015 and to complete enrollment within one year. We anticipate having preliminary top-line clinical results in mid-2016. We were also pleased to introduce INS-1009 for the novel treatment of PAH, as it expands our pipeline and underscores our commitment to new treatments for orphan lung diseases,” said Will Lewis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insmed.

Third Quarter Financial Results

For the third quarter of 2014, Insmed posted a net loss of $24.0 million, or ($0.54) per share, compared with a net loss of $17.3 million, or ($0.46) per share, for the third quarter of 2013. The increase in net loss was primarily due to increases in personnel costs, manufacturing expenses and pre-commercial activities.

Research and development expense for the third quarter of 2014 increased to $15.2 million from $12.1 million in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in research and development expense was primarily due to higher compensation and personnel-related expenses and the build-out of additional third-party manufacturing capacity.

General and administrative expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $8.2 million compared with $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in general and administrative expense primarily resulted from greater personnel costs due to an increase in headcount and an increase in pre-commercial activities.

Balance Sheet Highlights and Cash Guidance

As of September 30, 2014, Insmed had cash and cash equivalents of $167.3 million and working capital of $149.6 million, both of which reflect an underwritten public offering in August, which generated $108.0 million of net proceeds to the Company. Excluding depreciation and non-cash stock compensation expense, the Company’s cash operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was $19.7 million. In addition, during the third quarter of 2014 the Company paid $2.9 million for capital expenditures primarily related to the build out of its office and laboratory facilities in Bridgewater, New Jersey.

The Company plans to continue to fund further clinical development of ARIKAYCE, increase its investment in third-party manufacturing capacity, support efforts to obtain regulatory approvals and prepare for ARIKAYCE commercialization. As a result, Insmed estimates that its cash operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 will be in the range of $22 million to $26 million. In addition, the Company expects to pay approximately $2 million related to the completion of the build out of its office and laboratory facilities in New Jersey. The Company expects current cash balances will be sufficient to fund operations into 2016.
