Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACOR) announced that AMPYRA (dalfampridine) Extended Release Tablets, 10 mg unaudited net sales for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $73 million and unaudited AMPYRA 2012 full-year net sales were $266 million. These results are subject to completion of the Company’s year-end audit.

The Company provided 2013 guidance for AMPYRA net sales revenue of $285-$315 million. Guidance for Zanaflex® (tizanidine hydrochloride) and ex-U.S. FAMPYRA revenue is $25 million, which includes sales of branded Zanaflex products, royalties from ex-U.S. FAMPYRA and authorized generic tizanidine hydrochloride capsules sales, and $9.1 million in amortized licensing revenue from the $110 million payment the Company received from Biogen Idec in 2009 for FAMPYRA ex-U.S. development and commercialization rights.

Guidance for 2013 sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expense is $170-$180 million and 2013 research and development (R&D) expense is $60-$70 million. The increase in SG&A and R&D expenses in 2013 over 2012 is primarily related to research and commercialization expenses for the recently acquired product Diazepam Nasal Spray.

Based on this guidance, the Company expects to be cash flow positive in 2013.
