Following are some of the key points from PDL’s press release today regarding its fourth quarter and year end 2011 financial and business results.

Net Income

 
·
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $38.9 million or $0.24 per diluted share as compared with a net loss of $24.5 million or $(0.18) per diluted share for the same period of 2010.
 
·
Net income in 2011 was $199.4 million, or $1.15 per diluted share as compared with net income of $91.9 million in 2010 or $0.54 per diluted share.
 
Non-GAAP Net Income

 
·
Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $39.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $35 million, or $0.20 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
·
Non-GAAP net income for 2011 was $201.6 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to non-GAAP net income of $168.4 million, or $0.97 per diluted share in 2010.
 
PDL management believes the non-GAAP information is useful for investors by offering them the ability to better identify trends in our business and better understand how management evaluates the business. These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all expense items that affect PDL. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items from GAAP net income:

 
·
The effects of retirement or conversion of convertible notes, net of estimated taxes, are excluded because these capital restructuring charges are transaction specific and result from changes made to a capital structure established when PDL was a commercial, manufacturing, and research and development biotechnology company.
 
·
The effects of imputed interest on our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due May 1, 2015 (May 2015 Notes), net of estimated taxes, are excluded because this expense is non-cash; such exclusion facilitates comparisons of PDL’s cash operating results.
 
2011 and 2012 Dividends

 
·
We paid $0.15 per share of common stock or $21.0 million to our stockholders on December 15, 2011, to stockholders of record on December 8, 2011, as part of our regular, quarterly dividend policy for 2011.
 
·
We declared a regular, quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock payable on March 14, June 14, September 14 and December 14 to stockholders of record on March 7, June 7, September 7 and December 7.
 
Adjustments to Convertible Notes Conversion Ratios
 
In connection with the December 15, 2011 dividend payment, the adjusted conversion rates are:
 
·
For our 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due February 15, 2015, 155.396 shares  of common stock per $1,000 principal amount or approximately $6.44 per share,
 
·
For our 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due May 2015, 135.9607 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount or approximately $7.36 per share.

Updates on Selected Development Stage Potential Royalty Bearing Products

PERTUZUMAB:
 
·
In December, Roche and Genentech filed EU and US marketing applications for pertuzumab for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, based on study results which showed that pertuzumab combined with Herceptin and chemotherapy significantly extended progression free survival, compared with Herceptin and docetaxel alone.
 
·
In February 2012, Roche announced that FDA accepted the company’s BLA for pertuzumab and grated Priority Review with an action date of June 8, 2012. Pertuzumab is under review for use in combination with Herceptin and docetaxel chemotherapy for people with HER2-positive metastatic or locally recurrent, unresectable breast cancer, who have not received previous treatment or whose disease has relapsed after adjuvant therapy.
 
·
In February 2012, Roche forecast sales of more than $1 billion for Pertuzumab when it is approved.
