Acorda Therapeutics Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012 Financial Results

Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACOR) today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2012.

“We are pleased with the performance of AMPYRA in 2012, and excited about the franchise’s potential to expand in future years. AMPYRA sales grew approximately 26% in 2012 over 2011, and we expect sales to continue to increase in 2013. In addition, results from our life cycle management programs in post-stroke deficits and cerebral palsy are projected to read out in the second quarter of 2013,” said Ron Cohen, M.D., Acorda Therapeutics’ President and CEO.

“We believe we have one of the most interesting neurology pipelines in the industry. Pending additional clinical and manufacturing data, we plan to submit a New Drug Application to the FDA for Diazepam Nasal Spray in 2013. We also anticipate having three additional clinical stage programs by mid-year. The continued growth of AMPYRA, coupled with near-term pipeline milestones, has created the potential for meaningful growth in shareholder value.”
