BERKELEY, CA--(Marketwired - November 07, 2013) - Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: DVAX) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013. The Company had $76.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2013, compared to $125.1 million at December 31, 2012.

For both quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Dynavax reported total revenues of $2.9 million. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $8.4 million compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2012.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $5.8 million compared to $7.1 million for the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, general and administrative expenses were $22.2 million compared to $18.9 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was due to one-time cash and non-cash stock-based severance costs of $2.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for the third quarter and nine month period of 2013. General and administrative expenses other than these organizational transition costs decreased by 49% during the third quarter and 24% for the nine month period of 2013.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 were $11.8 million compared to $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, research and development expenses were $38.7 million compared to $36.6 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was due primarily to manufacturing activities and expenses related to the supply of HEPLISAV™.

On October 30, 2013, the Company sold 79,570,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.075 per share and 43,430 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B) for a price of $1,075.00 per share, in separate, concurrent underwritten public offerings. The sale of the common stock and Series B resulted in aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately $125 million after deducting estimated commissions and offering expenses.
