SEATTLE, November 2, 2011 – Dendreon Corporation (Nasdaq: DNDN) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011. Net revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $64.3 million compared to $20.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. This included a $4.3 million reserve for rebates and chargebacks associated with either Medicaid patients or mandated federal programs under the public health services act. Gross product revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, excluding the impact of rebates and chargebacks, was $65.8 million compared to $20.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Net revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $139.5 million compared to $23.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Gross product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, excluding the impact of $9.0 million associated with rebates and chargebacks, was $145.6 million. This $9.0 million includes $2.4 million which is attributable to sales made in the first and second quarters of 2011; aggregate chargebacks and rebates for the first three quarters of 2011 are $1.4 million in the first quarter, $3.3 million in the second quarter and $4.3 million in the third quarter.

Dendreon recorded a GAAP net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of approximately $147.1 million, or $1.00 per share compared to a net loss of $79.3 million, or $0.56 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

The warrants were exercised during the second quarter of 2010 and as such, the Company will not be recording any further non-cash charges associated with the revaluation of its warrant liability.

The above table provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that include adjustments to GAAP figures. Dendreon believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of Dendreon’s financial performance and its prospects for the future. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of operational results and trends. We believe excluding these non-cash items provides important insight into our operational results, important for a company at our stage in development. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators Dendreon management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP figures.
