Adamas Pharmaceuticals Reports Fiscal 2014 Financial Results

EMERYVILLE, Calif., March 3, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adamas Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMS) today reported financial results for the year ended December 31, 2014.

"We made significant progress in 2014, advancing ADS-5102, our lead wholly-owned product candidate, into pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's patients," said Gregory T. Went, Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Adamas. "Namzaric, the first fixed-dose combination for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, which is one of our collaborative products with Actavis, was also approved in the United States. In addition, we raised $42.6 million in net proceeds from our IPO and earned milestone payments from Actavis amounting to $55 million, bringing the total amount of upfront and milestone payments recognized from our collaboration to $160 million."

Dr. Went continued, "With the strong ongoing performance of Namenda XR®, our first product with Actavis; a second FDA-approved product, Namzaric, scheduled to launch soon; and a comprehensive Phase 3 program for ADS-5102 ongoing, we expect to have a productive 2015. We look forward to completing recruitment of our pivotal trials for ADS-5102 and announcing the expansion of the ADS-5102 indications under investigation. With our established drug development platform in place, we expect to bring new medicines to patients more rapidly than can be done with traditional drug discovery and development. This is an exciting time, and we are just getting started."

Fiscal 2014 Results

Adamas reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $9.1 million, or $0.53 per share, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. In the prior year, the company reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $35.4 million, or $3.00 per share, as a result of higher revenue from license fees and milestone payments under Adamas' license agreement with Forest, a subsidiary of Actavis plc.

Adamas ended the year with $158.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities compared to $85.6 million at December 31, 2013.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, Adamas reported total revenues of $55.8 million and $71.1 million, respectively. Revenues recognized in both periods were from milestone payments and development expense reimbursement from Adamas' collaboration with Forest and to a lesser degree from government grants and contracts.

Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014, were $21.9 million, including $2.5 million in stock-based compensation expense, compared to $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, which included $0.3 million in stock-based compensation expense. The increase was related primarily to expenditures in the ADS-5102 clinical program. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014, were $15.5 million, including $4.7 million in stock-based compensation expense, compared to $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, which included $0.3 million in stock-based compensation expense. The increase was due primarily to headcount-related costs, including stock-based compensation, and professional services related to being a public company.
