CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ--(Marketwired - November 07, 2013) -

MYOS Corporation (OTCBB: MYOS), a company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic and dietary products that improve human muscle health and performance (“MYOS” or the “Company”), today announced highlights of its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013, and the launch of its study (first announced in August) evaluating the Company’s lead product in combination with testosterone.

This study in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, is designed to determine the effect of myostatin inhibition by orally administered MYO-T12, the active ingredient in MYO-X, on muscle growth with and without concomitant testosterone treatment. This important study is expected to help MYOS gain new insights into the role of myostatin modulation on muscle tissue and body composition and performance and potentially provide a scientific rationale for the use of its lead product MYO-X (powered by MYO-T12) in combination with testosterone. Testosterone replacement therapy is gaining increasing popularity with clinicians treating age-related hypo-androgenic syndrome. Declining testosterone levels in men are thought to contribute to the progressive loss of lean muscle mass that occurs during aging. MYOS is studying the complex interaction of the regulatory factors responsible for maintaining healthy muscle tissue.

“I am very pleased to report that MYOS continues to advance its research into the regulatory role myostatin plays in muscle growth and performance while delivering quarter over quarter top line growth. MYO-X continues to gain commercial traction in the sports nutrition market and we are expanding our manufacturing efforts to meet expected demand over the next twelve months,” commented MYOS President Peter Levy. He added, “Third quarter gross revenues exceeded $1 million, an important financial milestone for the Company, while cumulative gross revenues since inception have surpassed $3 Million. We believe that MYOS is unique as a young emerging biotherapeutics company because of the early revenue growth while building a robust research and product development program.”

For the third quarter of 2013, the Company’s gross revenue was approximately $1,020,000. Comparing this to gross revenue of approximately $366,000 for the third quarter of 2012 and as compared to gross revenue of approximately $807,000 for the second quarter of 2013, this reflects the Company’s achievement of current quarter’s revenues of approximately 300% of the corresponding prior year quarter. Net revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was approximately $918,000 compared to net revenue of approximately $366,000 for the third quarter of 2012, and net revenue of approximately $715,300 for the second quarter of 2013. Net revenue reflects the deduction for an incentive savings to our distributor. Gross revenue for the trailing twelve months was approximately $2,341,000 while net revenue was approximately $2,088,000.

Financial results reflect the Company’s investment in research and development activities in the third quarter of 2013 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 of approximately $113,000 and $398,000, respectively; compared to $18,000 for the third quarter of 2012 and nine month period ended September 30, 2012. Additionally, MYOS incurred approximately $49,000 of costs related to the construction of its state-of-the-art research laboratory in the second and third quarters of 2013, which have been capitalized for future R&D activities.

The loss from operations was approximately $781,000 for the third quarter of 2013 compared to approximately $1,048,000 for the third quarter of 2012 and approximately $985,000 for the second quarter of 2013. Net loss for the third quarter of 2013 was approximately $781,000 compared to approximately $813,000 for the third quarter of 2012 and approximately $983,000 for the second quarter of 2013. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.01) for the third quarter of 2013 compared to $(0.01) for the third quarter of 2012 and $(0.01) for the second quarter of 2013. Per share results are based on weighted average shares outstanding of 110.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 compared to 106.4 million for the third quarter of 2012 and 110.6 for the second quarter of 2013.
