REGENERON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2010

Filed July 28, 2010For Securities:REGN

Summary

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported a net loss of $25.5 million ($0.31 per share) for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, an increase from the $14.9 million loss ($0.19 per share) in the same period of 2009. This widened loss was primarily driven by higher research and development (R&D) expenses, which rose to $124.5 million from $94.2 million year-over-year, largely due to expanded R&D activities related to the company's antibody collaboration with sanofi-aventis. Despite the increased loss, total revenues grew to $115.9 million from $90.0 million, bolstered by strong performance in collaboration revenues, particularly from sanofi-aventis. Net product sales for ARCALYST® increased to $5.2 million from $4.5 million. The company also announced positive results from its PRE-SURGE 1 Phase 3 study for ARCALYST® in gout flare prevention, a significant development for a key pipeline asset. Management believes current capital resources, including expected funding from collaborations, are sufficient to meet operating needs through at least 2013.
