DUBLIN, Ireland, May 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amarin Corporation plc (NASDAQ: AMRN) ("Amarin" or "Company") today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007. For the fourth quarter of 2007, Amarin reported a net loss of $7.9 million, or $0.72 per share, compared with a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.57 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2006. The increase in net loss for the quarter is primarily due to reorganization costs and higher share-based compensation costs.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, Amarin reported a net loss of $38.2 million or $3.90 per share, compared with a net loss of $26.8 million or $3.25 per share for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in net loss for the year is primarily due to the previously announced write-off of the Miraxion intangible asset of $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2007, reorganization costs and higher share-based compensation costs, partly offset by a reduction in research and development costs.
The net loss per share amounts reflect the one-for-ten reverse stock split which took effect on January 18, 2008. Figures for the comparative periods have been restated to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
