DYNAVAX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

BERKELEY, CA - April 27, 2012 - Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: DVAX) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, including $106.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at March 31, 2012. This compared to $114 million at December 31, 2011. Total cash for the first quarter of 2012 included $8.6 million in milestone payments from Dynavax's collaborative partners.

Total revenues were $2.4 million for the first quarter 2012, an increase over the $1.7 million reported for the first quarter of 2011 due primarily to the recognition of collaboration revenue under the Company's partnership with AstraZeneca.

Total operating expenses of $18.2 million for the first quarter 2012 decreased from the $19.7 million reported for the first quarter of 2011, resulting primarily from the completion of certain clinical activities for HEPLISAV.

Net loss for the first quarter 2012 of $16.5 million improved from the loss of $18.5 million reported for the same period in 2011.
