OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

As of August 6, 2014, over 420 new patient prescriptions have been written for HETLIOZ® in the U.S. This represents growth of approximately 90% in new prescriptions since the Company’s June 4, 2014 commercial update. HETLIOZ® was launched in the U.S. in April 2014 for the treatment of Non-24, a disorder which affects the majority of totally blind individuals. It is estimated that approximately 80,000 Americans have the disorder.

On July 22, 2014, a new method of use patent was issued by the USPTO for HETLIOZ® in the treatment of Non-24 (patent number 8,785,492). The ‘492 patent is expected to expire in 2033, potentially further extending the exclusivity protection of HETLIOZ®. In the U.S., HETLIOZ® is also covered by a composition of matter patent (patent number 5,856,529), which including a Hatch-Waxman 5-year extension is currently expected to expire in 2022. Both patents, ‘529 and ‘492, are now listed in the FDA’s Orange Book.

In June 2014, the EMA accepted for evaluation Vanda’s Marketing Authorization Application for oral HETLIOZ® capsules for the treatment of Non-24. HETLIOZ® was previously granted orphan drug designation by the European Commission for the treatment of Non-24.

Vanda has initiated development activities for the use of HETLIOZ® in the pediatric population with Non-24, as well as in patients with Smith-Magenis syndrome.

The VLY-686, NK1 antagonist, Phase 2 study in chronic pruritus is ongoing and results are expected in mid-2015.

2014 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Total 2014 operating expenses are expected to be between $110.0 and $120.0 million. This includes intangible asset amortization expense of $2.3 million and $6.0 to $8.0 million of non-cash stock based compensation.
