HALOZYME REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

SAN DIEGO, November 8, 2012 – Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HALO) today reported financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

“We are pleased with the clinical data from the subcutaneous MabThera (rituximab) trials which should enable filing of the marketing application in Europe later this year,” said Gregory I. Frost, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, Halozyme. “With potential launches and near-term revenue streams from both subcutaneous Herceptin and MabThera, we are increasing our manufacturing activities to build launch inventory of the rHuPH20 enzyme in support of these programs. We also continue to make progress toward growing our own brand, Hylenex®, by targeting the insulin pump market to complement our late-stage partnered programs and drive sustained growth for shareholders.”

Third Quarter Highlights
Highlights of Halozyme’s third quarter activities and recent events include:

  Three Roche abstracts on the subcutaneous (SC) formulation of MabThera have been accepted for presentation at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) annual meeting in Atlanta, December 8-11.

  Announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provided guidance enabling ViroPharma to resume clinical studies of the subcutaneous administration of Cinryze in combination with rHuPH20.

  Presented data at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes from two treatment studies which indicate Halozyme’s more physiologic insulin co-formulations with aspart and lispro reduced post-prandial glucose excursions due to the accelerated absorption and action in a Multiple Daily Injection (MDI) take-home setting. Both studies met their primary endpoint of A1C non-inferiority, and in Type 1 diabetes patients, reduced post-meal hypoglycemia compared to lispro alone. Results from Halozyme’s studies in insulin pumps showed that in addition to providing a more rapid profile than current rapid insulin analogs, rHuPH20 also provided a more consistent insulin exposure and absorption over the infusion set life of the pump.

  Announced plans to develop and commercialize Hylenex recombinant (hyaluronidase human injection) in insulin pumps for the U.S. endocrinology market.

Anticipated Milestones through 2013

  Roche to present data from the Phase 3 MabThera SC trial and file the marketing authorization application (MAA) with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2012

  Present HTI-501 clinical proof-of-concept data

  Decision regarding Herceptin SC MAA from the EMA

  Complete Cinryze SC+rHuPH20 Phase 2 study

  Initiate Phase 4 studies to support use of Hylenex with insulin pumps

  Present data from the run-in cohorts of the PEGPH20 Phase 2 program in oncology and continue with the randomized portion of the trial

Third Quarter 2012 and Year-To-Date Financial Results
The net loss for the third quarter of 2012 was $(20.0) million, or $(0.18) per share, compared with a net income for the third quarter of 2011 of $5.2 million, or $0.05 per share. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $(49.1) million, or $(0.44) per share, compared to a net loss of $(1.4) million, or $(0.01) per share, for the comparable period in 2011.

    Revenues for the third quarter of 2012 were $5.3 million, compared to $22.9 million for the third quarter of 2011. Revenues in the third quarter of 2012 primarily consisted of research and development reimbursements from partners.

    Research and development expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were $19.5 million, compared with $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2011, primarily due to an increase in manufacturing activities to support potential launches from our partners.

    Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter of 2012 were $5.6 million, compared to $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2011. The increase for SG&A was due to higher compensation costs during the quarter.

    Cash and cash equivalents were $87.6 million as of September 30, 2012, compared with $66.3 million as of September 30, 2011. Net cash used in the third quarter of 2012 was approximately $14.4 million.

    2012 cash burn guidance remains at $60-$65 million.

About Hylenex® recombinant (hyaluronidase human injection)
Hylenex recombinant is a tissue permeability modifier approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Hylenex recombinant temporarily breaks down a gel-like substance (hyaluronan) that forms a barrier in the tissues between cells under the skin making the tissue more permeable and facilitating the absorption of fluids/medicines into systemic circulation. Hylenex recombinant is indicated as an adjuvant to increase the absorption and dispersion of other injected or subcutaneously infused drugs, to facilitate subcutaneous fluid administration and in subcutaneous urography. Hylenex recombinant is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase or any excipient used to make the drug.  For additional information or full Prescribing Information visit www.hylenex.com or www.halozyme.com.
