For the fourth quarter of 2014, the company reported a net loss of $(16.0) million, or $(0.31) per share, compared to a net loss of $(30.1) million, or $(0.59) per share for the same period in 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the company reported a net loss of $(98.6) million, or $(1.91) per share, compared to a net loss of ($108.4) million, or $(2.13) per share, for the same period in 2013. At December 31, 2014, the company had cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $191.5 million compared to $245.7 million at December 31, 2013.
"2014 was a very productive year for Momenta. We successfully executed on many of our corporate objectives including the achievement of multiple development milestones in our biosimilars collaboration with Baxter, initiation of a Phase 2 clinical study of necuparanib in pancreatic cancer, and the introduction of three promising autoimmune pipeline candidates further broadening our novel drug portfolio," said Craig A. Wheeler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Momenta Pharmaceuticals.
"In our biosimilars business, Baxter has opted not to elect any additional biosimilars for development and has terminated their participation in the M834 program as part of their corporate restructuring and portfolio review process. Our collaboration with Baxter on M923, biosimilar HUMIRA, remains strong and we look forward to discussions in 2015 with potential new partners for M834, a biosimilar version of ORENCIA, and our additional biosimilar programs," Wheeler continued.
"We expect 2015 to be another year of forward momentum across the business and importantly, we remain optimistic that FDA approval of our once-daily generic Copaxone ANDA is near, and we are prepared for a commercial launch in 2015."
Fourth Quarter Highlights and Recent Events
Complex Generics: M356, generic version of Copaxone® (Glatiramer Acetate Injection)
Enoxaparin Sodium Injection
Biosimilar and Potentially Interchangeable Biologics:
Novel Drugs: Necuparanib (novel oncology candidate)
Novel Autoimmune Drugs In October 2014, Momenta introduced three novel autoimmune candidates that are currently in various stages of preclinical development. These candidates include a hyper-sialylated IVIg (hsIVIg), a high potency alternative to IVIg, and two recombinant molecules: a Selective Immunomodulator of Fc receptors (SIF3) and an anti-FcRn monoclonal antibody. The recombinant molecules have been designed by leveraging the Company's knowledge of the anti-inflammatory effects of IVIg to maximize therapeutic benefit and patient convenience. Momenta believes these programs could have potential in a range of diseases that currently have few treatment options such as autoimmune neuropathies, autoimmune blood disorders and blistering skin diseases. The Company expects to continue to advance the recombinant candidates with a goal of entering the clinic in late 2016 and remains in active partnering discussions for its hsIVIg product.
Fourth Quarter and Year End 2014 Financial Results Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $21.2 million (including enoxaparin product revenue of $4.7 million), compared to $12.8 million (including enoxaparin product revenue of $4.9 million) for the same period in 2013. Sandoz reported fourth quarter 2014 enoxaparin net sales of $47 million versus $51 million for the fourth quarter 2013. The decrease in enoxaparin product revenue reflects lower prices. For the year ended December 31, 2014, total revenue was $52.3 million, compared to $35.5 million for 2013.
Collaborative research and development revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $16.4 million, compared to $7.8 million in the same quarter last year. For the year ended December 31, 2014, collaborative research and development revenues were $32.3 million, compared to $18.8 million for the year ended 2013. The increases in both periods are primarily due to the $12.0 million in M923 technical development milestones earned under the Baxter Agreement and recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014. The $7.0 million milestone payment from Baxter for M834 was received in the fourth quarter of 2014 and will be recognized as revenue over the product's development period.
Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $26.2 million, compared to $32.2 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease of $6.0 million in research and development expenses from the fourth quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter of 2014 was primarily due to lower biosimilars process development and research costs. For the year ended December 31, 2014, research and development expenses were $106.5 million, compared to $104.0 million for the year ended 2013. The increase of $2.5 million in research and development expenses from 2013 to 2014 resulted from increases of: $4.8 million in personnel and facilities-related expenses; $2.5 million to advance the novel drug research program; $1.9 million in necuparanib clinical costs; and $1.0 million in laboratory supplies. These increases were offset by a decrease of $7.6 million primarily related to lower third-party process development, contract research costs and consulting fees incurred for our biosimilars program.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, were $11.1 million, compared with $10.8 million for the same period in 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses were $45.2 million, compared to $41.1 million for the year ended 2013. The increase of $4.1 million from 2013 to 2014 was primarily due to increases of: $2.5 million in personnel and facilities-related costs; $0.6 million in allocated lab supplies; $0.4 million in professional fees; and $0.3 million in allocated depreciation expense.
At December 31, 2014, Momenta had $191.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. This cash position includes $18.3 million in net proceeds from the sale of approximately 1.7 million shares of common stock through the Company's "At the Market" (ATM) agreement with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company in the fourth quarter of 2014. This cash position excludes restricted cash of $20.7 million, of which $17.5 million is reserved as collateral for a security bond related to enoxaparin legal proceedings, and $3.2 million for letters of credit related to the company's two leased facilities.
Financial Guidance Today, Momenta provided guidance that its net cash usage, excluding revenue from the potential launch of M356, and excluding revenue from any potential new biosimilar collaboration(s), will be approximately $30 million for the first quarter of 2015, and thereafter, the Company is seeking to reduce its cash burn through new collaborative agreements for its biosimilar and/or new drug programs.
