Dynavax Reports Fourth Quarter and Year End 2010 Financial Results
  BERKELEY, CA, Mar 08, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Dynavax Technologies Corporation (DVAX) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.
  Dynavax reported $72.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31, 2010. This compared to $36.7 million at December 31, 2009. Total cash at the 2010 year end included approximately $83 million in net proceeds from public offerings completed during the year.
  Total revenues were $1.8 million for the fourth quarter 2010, compared to $2.2 million for the fourth quarter 2009. Total revenues were $24.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $40.3 million for 2009. The decline in total revenues for the year was primarily due to the recognition of collaboration revenue in June 2009 from our terminated collaboration with Merck.
  Total operating expenses were $17.4 million for the fourth quarter 2010, compared to $13.8 million for the fourth quarter 2009. Total operating expenses were $71.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $55.4 million for 2009. The increase in total operating expenses for the year was due to continued clinical and manufacturing activities to support HEPLISAV(TM). The Company expects total operating expenses in 2011 to be consistent with 2010.
  The tables included as part of this press release provide a reconciliation of GAAP revenues and operating expenses to pro forma revenues and operating expenses.

The collaboration funding is the amount attributed to the noncontrolling interest in SDI in the Company's consolidated statement of operations that would have been reported as revenue if SDI's results of operations were not consolidated with those of the Company. Management of the Company believes the pro forma results are a more useful measure of the Company's revenues because it provides investors the ability to evaluate the Company's operations in the manner that management uses to assess the continued progress of operating programs. These pro forma results are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from pro forma measures used by other companies.
