OTHER EVENTS THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT WAS RELEASED TO THE PRESS ON AUGUST 9, 2002 REGARDING SECOND QUARTER 2002 RESULTS AND GUIDANCE ON ARGATROBAN SALES. TEXAS BIOTECHNOLOGY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2002 RESULTS RAISES GUIDANCE ON ARGATROBAN SALES HOUSTON, TX, (AUGUST 9, 2002) - Texas Biotechnology Corporation (NASDAQ:TXBI) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2002. Results for the second quarter were in line with management's prior guidance. SECOND QUARTER 2002 FINANCIAL RESULTS Net loss for the second quarter of 2002 was $6.2 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.5 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year. The increased loss in the current quarter is primarily due to increased research and development costs associated with ongoing clinical trials for the development of Argatroban as a treatment for ischemic stroke and percutaneous coronary intervention, and for sitaxsentan as a treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension. These trials are fully enrolled with top line results expected in the fourth quarter of 2002. Revenue in the second quarter of 2002 was $2.6 million. In the comparable quarter of 2001, revenue was $2.5 million. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company's royalties earned on net sales of Argatroban increased 114% to approximately $839,000 compared to approximately $391,000 in the second quarter of 2001. The increase in royalty income from Argatroban sales in the second quarter of 2002 was offset by reduced payments received from collaborative agreements. "Overall, our second quarter results are in line with expectations," stated Bruce Given, M.D., President and CEO of Texas Biotechnology. "Importantly, with the steady growth we have seen over the last year in both Argatroban sales and the direct thrombin inhibitor class, we are raising our guidance for Argatroban net sales for 2002 from $18 to $22 million to $22 to $26 million. We continue to work diligently with GlaxoSmithKline to exceed this range," Given added. Cash, cash equivalents and investments at June 30, 2002 were approximately $79.5 million, compared with $95.4 million at December 31, 2001. YEAR 2002 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK Guidance for 2002 includes results of Revotar and the ICOS-TBC partnership. Net sales of Argatroban Increased from $18 to $22 million to $22 to $26 million Revenue Unchanged - approximately $8.5 to $11 million Investment income Unchanged - approximately $1.8 to $2.5 million Expenses Unchanged - approximately $45 to $48 million Texas Biotechnology management will host a conference call on Friday, August 9, 2002, at 8:30 AM Eastern.
