Financial highlights for the quarter included: - Net revenue increased to $9.1 million, compared to $3.5 million for the third quarter 2001, all generated by sales of the company's flagship product, Angiomax. For the first nine months of 2002, net revenue was $24.0 million, compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 2001. - Net loss attributable to common stockholders decreased to $11.2 million, compared to $11.3 million for the third quarter 2001. For the first nine months of 2002, net loss was $36.0 million, compared to $46.4 million for the same period in 2001. - Net loss per common share was $0.29, compared to $0.33 per share for the third quarter 2001. For the first nine months of 2002, net loss per share was $0.99, compared to $1.43 per share for the same period in 2001. Operations highlights for the quarter included: - Completion of the enrollment and 30-day follow-up phases of the REPLACE-2 clinical trial. - Canadian approval of Angiomax for use during coronary angioplasty. - Several positive Angiomax contemporary registry data presentations by leading interventional cardiology centers at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference. Dave Stack, President and CEO of The Medicines Company stated, "Angiomax revenues this summer were sluggish, as a slow season for the entire Cath Lab market affected Angiomax usage and our wholesaler sales. We are encouraged by the continued demand for Angiomax from our accounts that have more experience using the -continues- product. We believe that interventional cardiologists who begin to use the product are expanding their use. The series of registry data sets presented at the recent TCT conference further confirms our belief that Angiomax provides improved efficacy and safety while lowering hospital costs. Overall, we have kept expenses down and are also comfortable with levels of wholesaler stocking. Our business has been strong in 2002, and we expect to reach the low end of 2002 revenue guidance range, $36 million, at the end of the year." Mr. Stack added that The Medicines Company is not providing 2003 revenue and earnings guidance at this time because results of the Company's REPLACE-2 clinical trial, which are expected by the end of 2002, are likely to affect forecasts. There will be a conference call with management today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results.
