PR Newswire (US)
Company Also Reaffirms Year-End Guidance NEW YORK, Aug. 19
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Inyx, Inc. (OTC:IYXI) (BULLETIN BOARD:
IYXI) , a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on aerosol drug
delivery technologies and products, reported today operating
results for the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2005.
The company also reaffirmed its guidance for 2005. For the 2005
second quarter, revenues reached $8.5 million, the highest
quarterly level in the company's history and more than triple the
$2.8 million reported a year ago. There was a net loss in the 2005
quarter of $4.1 million, equal to $0.10 per share, compared with a
net loss of $3.4 million, or $0.12 a share, in the year-earlier
period. For the 2005 first half, revenues increased 53% to $11.2
million from $7.3 million in the corresponding period last year.
The net loss in the 2005 half amounted to $11.1 million, equal to
$0.28 per share, versus a net loss of $6.1 million, or $0.21 a
share, a year earlier. Detailed financials are presented in the
company's Form 10-Q being filed today, which can be downloaded from
Inyx's website. Results in Perspective & Future Guidance Jack
Kachkar, M.D., Chairman & CEO of Inyx, Inc., said, "The strong
increase in second-quarter revenues is due to increased business
from our Puerto Rico acquisition on March 31, 2005. We also had
higher operating expenses and financing costs as a result of the
acquisition. Contributing to the increased loss in this year's
first half was a reduction in our core revenues during the period
due to regulatory delays experienced by two customers and a vendor
qualification delay on a third customer at our United Kingdom site.
These delays, which have since been resolved, have resulted in
approximately $8.0 million in committed contract revenues being
deferred from the first half to the second half of 2005." Dr.
Kachkar added, "Based on new business relationships that we have
been cultivating, as well as the commencement and ramp-up of
several existing contracts in this second half, Inyx reaffirms the
2005 financial guidance given earlier in the year." Inyx expects
revenues to total more than $50 million in 2005 and to achieve
operating profitability by year-end. "We are very excited about the
future because of growth opportunities that are opening up for Inyx
as a result of our company's expanding base of clients and
strategic relationships with leading pharmaceutical companies,"
said the Inyx CEO. He noted that these expansions are being driven
by Inyx's expertise and technologies in three areas: (1) Inyx is
one of only several companies with proven experience in converting
from ozone-depleting to non-ozone- depleting aerosol

combination drugs; and (3) Inyx's proprietary hydrocarbon foam
formulations for aerosol delivery of dermatological and topical
