Full Press Release Details
Vanda Pharmaceuticals Reports Preliminary Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Results and 2016 Financial Guidance
WASHINGTON, January 11, 2016
/PRNewswire/ Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Vanda) (NASDAQ: VNDA), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapies addressing high unmet medical needs, today announced preliminary unaudited
financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2015 and its financial guidance for 2016.
Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2015 Results
Preliminary Full Year 2015 Results
2016 Financial Guidance
Vanda expects to achieve the
following financial objectives in 2016:
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 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.
This Non-GAAP financial
measure, 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 this Non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
guidance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of this Non-GAAP financial measure is that they exclude significant elements that are required by GAAP to be recorded in Vanda s financial statements. In addition, it is
subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management in determining this Non-GAAP financial measure.
