The Medicines Company Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2015 Business and Financial Results

• Recent data presentations highlight pipeline progress and potential
• New-product revenues increasing
• Strategy to deploy capital against highest value assets on track with the divestiture of hemostasis portfolio

PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Medicines Company (NASDAQ: MDCO) today announced its business and financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.

During and since the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company has:

• ALN-PCSsc: Announced positive results from the Phase 1 study of ALN-PCSsc at the American Heart Association 2015 Scientific Sessions demonstrating the drug’s durable effects on PCSK9 knockdown and LDL-cholesterol reduction. Launched patient enrollment in the Orion-1 Phase 2 clinical trial of ALN-PCSsc in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease;
• MDCO-216: Announced the publication of positive Phase 1 results for MDCO-216 and the enrollment of patients in the MILANO-PILOT study evaluating the drug’s effects on atherosclerotic plaque burden;
• ABP-700: Presented the first clinical results addressing the safety and tolerability of ABP-700 at the ANESTHESIOLOGY 2015 and International Society of Anesthetic Pharmacologists annual meetings;
• CARBAVANCE: Advanced Phase 3 clinical trials towards our goal of completion in 2016 and NDA filing shortly after;
• Angiomax®: Received an order from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that granted the Company’s request for rehearing of its appeal in its ANDA litigation with Hospira and overturned the Court’s earlier decision that invalidated the Company’s two Orange Book patents for Angiomax®.
• Revenues for our launch products (Kengreal, Cleviprex, Orbactiv, Minocin IV and Ionsys) increased 294% to $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 over the same period in 2014;
• Sold the Company’s hemostasis products (RECOTHROM®, PreveLeak™ and RAPLIXA™) to Mallinckrodt for an initial payment of $174 million plus $235 million in potential future milestone payments. The Company has accounted for this divestment as discontinued operations.

Clive Meanwell, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer, The Medicines Company, stated: “We had a transformational year in 2015 during which five products were approved in the United States and Europe, four potential blockbuster products have emerged from our pipeline, our lead product became an authorized generic and we launched a new corporate strategy to unlock shareholder value, generate non-dilutive capital and focus on our most promising development programs. In the year ahead, we look forward to reporting data from ongoing studies of our four leading product candidates - ALN-PCSsc, MDCO-216, ABP-700 and CARBAVANCE – and to continuing our efforts to divest non-core assets as we focus on our late-stage clinical programs.”
