ACADIA PHARMACEUTICALS REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011
SAN DIEGO, CA March 6, 2012 – ACADIA Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: ACAD), a biopharmaceutical company focused on innovative treatments that address unmet medical needs in neurological and related central nervous system disorders, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.
ACADIA reported a net loss of $5.3 million, or $0.10 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to net income of $29.1 million, or $0.74 per common share, for the fourth quarter of 2010. The financial results for the fourth quarter of 2010 were primarily attributable to revenues recognized in connection with concluding ACADIA’s collaboration with Biovail in October 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, ACADIA reported a net loss of $22.8 million, or $0.44 per common share, compared to net income of $15.1 million, or $0.39 per common share, for 2010.
At December 31, 2011, ACADIA’s cash, cash equivalents and investment securities totaled $31.0 million compared to $37.1 million at December 31, 2010. ACADIA expects that its current cash, cash equivalents and investment securities, together with anticipated payments from its existing collaborations, will be sufficient to fund its operations at least into the second quarter of 2013.
“2011 was an important year for ACADIA highlighted by the advancement of our Phase III pimavanserin program for Parkinson’s disease psychosis, extension of our cash runway, and expansion of our clinical pipeline,” said Uli Hacksell, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ACADIA. “We continue to enroll patients in our ongoing -020 Phase III efficacy, tolerability and safety trial and our -015 Phase III open-label safety extension trial. We look forward to completing the -020 trial later this year and believe that a successful study will provide the opportunity to significantly increase the value of this late-stage asset.”
Revenues totaled $588,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $35.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. This decrease in revenues was primarily due to $34.7 million in revenue recognized in connection with concluding the Biovail collaboration in the fourth quarter of 2010. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 were derived primarily from ACADIA’s collaborations with Allergan, Inc. and Meiji Seika Pharma Co., Ltd.
Research and development expenses decreased to $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 from $4.8 million for the comparable quarter of 2010. This decrease was primarily due to savings in facilities and other expenses associated with ACADIA’s internal research and development organization offset, in part, by an increase in external development costs. General and administrative expenses totaled $1.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2011 and were consistent with the comparable quarter of 2010.

ACADIA management will review its fourth quarter financial results and development programs via conference call and webcast later today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
