DYNAVAX REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END 2014

FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

BERKELEY, CA – March 5, 2015 – Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: DVAX) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The Company had $122.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2014. Loss from operations of $91.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased by $24.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily as a result of expenses relating to conduct of clinical trials. A Phase 3 clinical trial of hepatitis B vaccine HEPLISAV-B™ (known as HBV-23) was initiated in the second quarter of 2014 and an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) reviewed available data in early November 2014 and late February 2015 and recommended continuation of the trial without change. A Phase 1/2 study of SD-101 in combination with local radiation for the treatment of indolent lymphoma was initiated in the fourth quarter.

 

The net loss allocable to common stockholders for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 was $90.7 million, or $3.45 per basic and diluted share. The net loss allocable to common stockholders for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was $75.2 million, or $3.83 per basic and diluted share, which includes a one-time non-cash deemed dividend of $8.5 million related to the beneficial conversion feature of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
