The full text of the press release which includes information regarding Vanda’s use of Non-GAAP financial measures, is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Various statements to be made during the conference call are “forward-looking statements” under the securities laws, including, but not limited to, Vanda’s financial guidance for 2016. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” and “could,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions or words, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks, changes in circumstances, assumptions and uncertainties.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in Vanda’s forward-looking statements include, among others: Vanda’s ability to successfully commercialize HETLIOZ^® for the treatment of Non-24 in the U.S. and Europe; uncertainty as to the market awareness of Non-24 and the market acceptance of HETLIOZ^®; Vanda’s ability to generate U.S. sales of Fanapt^® for the treatment of schizophrenia; the timing and costs of Vanda’s establishment of a sales and marketing, supply chain, distribution, pharmacovigilance, compliance and safety infrastructure to promote Fanapt^® in the U.S.; Vanda’s dependence on third-party manufacturers to manufacture HETLIOZ^® and Fanapt^® in sufficient quantities and quality; Vanda’s limited sales and marketing infrastructure; the regulatory status of Fanapt^® in Europe; Vanda’s ability to successfully commercialize HETLIOZ^® and Fanapt^® outside the U.S.; Vanda’s ability to prepare, file, prosecute, defend and enforce any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; Vanda’s ability to obtain the capital necessary to fund its research and development or commercial activities; a loss of rights to develop and commercialize Vanda’s products under its license agreements; the ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of Vanda’s products, and the labeling for any approved products; the timing and success of preclinical studies and clinical trials conducted by Vanda or its development partners; a failure of Vanda’s products to be demonstrably safe and effective; the size and growth of the potential markets for Vanda’s products and the ability to serve those markets; Vanda’s expectations regarding trends with respect to its revenues, costs, expenses and liabilities; the timing and costs of complying with the remaining post-marketing commitments and post-marketing requirements established in connection with the FDA’s approval of Fanapt^®; the scope, progress, expansion, and costs of developing and commercializing Vanda’s products; Vanda’s failure to identify or obtain rights to new products; a loss of any of Vanda’s key scientists or management personnel; limitations on Vanda’s ability to utilize some or all of its prior net operating losses and orphan drug and research and development credits; the costs and effects of litigation; losses incurred from product liability claims made against Vanda; use of existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and other factors that are described in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Vanda’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, which is on file with the SEC and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional factors may be described in those sections of Vanda’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, to be filed with the SEC in the second quarter of 2016. In addition to the risks described above and in Vanda’s annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the SEC, other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect Vanda’s results. There can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by Vanda will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Vanda. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the outcomes stated in such forward-looking statements and estimates will be achieved.

All written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to Vanda or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein. Vanda cautions investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements Vanda makes or that are made on its behalf.

Non-GAAP Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2016, Non-GAAP net loss was $7.1 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to a Non-GAAP net loss of $4.1 million, or $0.10 per share, for the first quarter of 2015.

Vanda provides Non-GAAP financial information, which it believes can enhance an overall understanding of its financial performance when considered together with GAAP figures. Refer to the sections of this press release entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Information” and “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information.”

2016 Financial Guidance

Vanda reiterates its prior 2016 financial guidance and expects to achieve the following financial objectives in 2016:

• Combined net product sales from both HETLIOZ^® and Fanapt^® of between $143 and $153 million.

• Non-GAAP Operating expenses excludes intangible asset amortization expense of $10.9 million and stock-based compensation of between $9 and $11 million.

• Year end 2016 Cash is expected to be between $123 and $143 million.

Conference Call

Vanda has scheduled a conference call for today, Wednesday, May 4, 2016, at 4:30 PM ET. During the call, Vanda’s management will discuss the first quarter 2016 financial results and other corporate activities. Investors can call 1-888-771-4371 (domestic) or 1-847-585-4405 (international) and use passcode 42335557. A replay of the call will be available on Wednesday, May 4, 2016, beginning at 7:00 PM ET and will be accessible until Wednesday, May 11, 2016, at 11:59 PM ET. The replay call-in number is 1-888-843-7419 for domestic callers and 1-630-652-3042 for international callers. The passcode number is 42335557.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Vanda believes that the Non-GAAP financial information provided in this press release can assist investors in understanding and assessing the ongoing economics of Vanda’s business and reflect how it manages the business internally and sets operational goals. Vanda’s “Non-GAAP Selling, general and administrative expenses” and “Non-GAAP Research and development expenses” exclude stock-based compensation. Vanda’s “Non-GAAP Net income (loss),” “Non-GAAP Net income (loss) per share” and “Non-GAAP Operating expenses excluding Cost of goods sold” exclude stock-based compensation and intangible asset amortization.

Page 2 of 7

Vanda believes that excluding the impact of these items better reflects the recurring economic characteristics of its business, as well as Vanda’s use of financial resources and its long-term performance.

This press release includes a projection of 2016 Non-GAAP Operating expenses, excluding Cost of goods sold, a forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measure under the heading “2016 Financial Guidance.” This Non-GAAP financial measure is determined by excluding cost of goods sold, stock-based compensation and intangible asset amortization. Vanda is unable to reconcile this Non-GAAP guidance to GAAP because it is difficult to predict the future impact of these adjustments.

These Non-GAAP financial measures, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies since not all companies may calculate these measures in an identical manner and, therefore, they are not necessarily an accurate measure of comparison between companies.

The presentation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for guidance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these Non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Vanda’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management in determining these Non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, Vanda presents its Non-GAAP financial guidance in connection with its GAAP guidance. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of our Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks, changes in circumstances, assumptions and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in Vanda’s forward-looking statements include, among others, Vanda’s assumptions regarding its ability to continue to grow its business in the U.S., Vanda’s ability to successfully commercialize HETLIOZ^® in Europe and other factors that are described in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of Vanda’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, which is on file with the SEC and available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional factors may be described in those sections of Vanda’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, to be filed with the SEC in the second quarter of 2016. In addition to the risks described above and in Vanda’s annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect Vanda’s results. There can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by Vanda will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, Vanda. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the outcomes stated in such forward-looking statements and estimates will be achieved.

All written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to Vanda or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein.
