RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Insmed Inc. (Nasdaq: INSM), a biopharmaceutical company, today reported results for the second quarter and six-months ended June 30, 2009.
Revenues for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $3.0 million, up from $2.7 million for the corresponding period in 2008. The increase was primarily attributable to $272,000 of grant revenue related to the IPLEX(TM) myotonic muscular dystrophy ("MMD") clinical trial recorded in the most recent second quarter.
The net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $1.6 million, or $0.01 per share, compared with a net loss of $4.7 million, or $0.04 per share, in the second quarter of 2008. This $3.1 million decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.8 million decrease in total expenses, in addition to the $0.3 million increase in total revenues.
The $2.8 million total decrease in expenses was due primarily to a $4.1 million decrease in research and development expenses ("R&D Expenses"), which was partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A Expenses").
The lower R&D expenses reflected the elimination of manufacturing expenses following the sale of our follow-on biologics ("FOB") assets in March 2009. The increase in SG&A expenses was due to a combination of external finance and consulting advisory services associated with the ongoing strategic review, increased personnel costs, primarily related to the separation agreement with Geoffrey Allan, Ph.D., and license fees relating to the March 2007 patent settlement agreement with Genentech Inc. and Tercica Inc.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, revenues totaled $5.4 million, up from $5.1 million in the first six months
