PROGENICS PHARMACEUTICALS ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END 2011 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Tarrytown, NY, March 15, 2012 – Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:PGNX) today announced the fourth quarter and year end 2011 results of operations.
Net loss for the quarter was $10.7 million or $0.32 diluted per share, compared to a net loss of $18.8 million or $0.57 diluted per share in the fourth quarter of 2010. This is attributable primarily to decreases in research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses of $6.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Net income for the year was $10.4 million or $0.31 diluted per share, compared to a net loss of $69.7 million or $2.14 diluted per share for 2010, reflecting primarily the recognition of $59.6 million of the $60 million upfront payment received from Salix Pharmaceuticals in February for global rights outside of Japan to
RELISTOR® and $15.2 million of RELISTOR development cost reimbursement revenue from Salix.
Progenics ended the year with cash, cash equivalents and securities of $73.4 million, reflecting use of cash of $8.0 million in the quarter and, excluding the $60.0 million upfront cash payment from Salix, $38.1 million for the full year.
Fourth quarter revenue remained unchanged at $2.2 million for 2011 compared to 2010. For the full year 2011, Progenics reported revenues of $84.8 million, compared to $8.0 million for 2010, resulting primarily from an increase in RELISTOR development cost reimbursement revenue of $15.2 million from Salix and the recognition of $59.6 million of the upfront payment from Salix.
Royalty income for the quarter was $1.3 million compared to zero royalty income in the fourth quarter of 2010. Royalty income for the year was $3.0 million compared to $1.8 million for 2010. Royalty income on net sales reported by our collaborators in the following table in 2011 is based on Salix’s net sales only; 2010 royalty income was based on global net sales through September 30, 2010.

Fourth quarter expenses were $13.0 million, down $8.1 million over the same period in 2010. For the year, expenses totaled $74.5 million, a decrease of $3.4 million from 2010. The decline for both periods resulted primarily from a decrease in clinical trial expenses related to the oral methylnaltrexone phase 3 study and lower compensation expenses resulting from a decrease in company-wide average headcount. The expense decrease for the year compared to 2010 was partially offset by increased regulatory filing costs for the non-cancer pain sNDA and purchases of manufacturing supplies on behalf of Salix.

Completed Phase 3 Study for Oral Methylnaltrexone
In December 2011, Salix and Progenics announced that a phase 3 study of oral methylnaltrexone in chronic, non-cancer pain patients with opioid-induced constipation had concluded with positive, highly statistically significant results. Patients in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial received either placebo or one of three doses of oral methylnaltrexone. Following a two-week screening period, study participants were dosed once daily for four weeks, continuing treatment on an as needed basis for eight additional weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint of the study was the proportion of subjects with a rescue-free bowel movement within four hours of receiving oral methylnaltrexone during the four-week
blinded period.
Important Safety Information for subcutaneous RELISTOR
RELISTOR is indicated for the treatment of opioid-induced constipation (OIC) in patients with advanced illness who are receiving palliative care, when response to laxative therapy has not been sufficient. Use of RELISTOR beyond four months has not been studied.
RELISTOR is contraindicated in patients with known or suspected mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction. If severe or persistent diarrhea occurs during treatment, advise patients to discontinue therapy with RELISTOR and consult their physician. Use of RELISTOR has not been studied in patients with peritoneal catheters.
Safety and efficacy of RELISTOR have not been established in pediatric patients.
Rare cases of gastrointestinal (GI) perforation have been reported in advanced illness patients with conditions that may be associated with localized or diffuse reduction of structural integrity in the wall of the GI tract (i.e., cancer, peptic ulcer, Ogilvie’s syndrome). Perforations have involved varying regions of the GI tract (e.g., stomach, duodenum, colon).
Use RELISTOR with caution in patients with known or suspected lesions of the GI tract. Advise patients to discontinue therapy with RELISTOR and promptly notify their physician if they develop severe, persistent, and/or worsening abdominal symptoms.
The most common adverse reactions reported with RELISTOR compared with placebo in clinical trials were abdominal pain (28.5% vs. 9.8%), flatulence (13.3% vs. 5.7%), nausea (11.5% vs. 4.9%), dizziness (7.3% vs. 2.4%), diarrhea (5.5% vs. 2.4%), and hyperhidrosis (6.7% vs. 6.5%).
RELISTOR full Prescribing Information for the U.S. is available at www.RELISTOR.com.
