Incyte Reports 2012 Fourth-Quarter And Full-Year Financial Results; Provides 2013 Financial Guidance; Updates Shareholders On Key Clinical Programs

Incyte Corporation (Nasdaq: INCY) today reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2012 financial results, including revenue from Jakafi ^® (ruxolitinib), which is approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (MF). The Company also provided 2013 financial guidance and updated information about key clinical programs, including key Phase III data for Jakafi that was presented at the 2012 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting.

“The recent data from ASH highlighting long-term results from COMFORT-I and II show that continued use of Jakafi by appropriate patients with myelofibrosis not only provides durable benefits for spleen reduction and symptom improvement, but also improved survival, suggesting an overall survival benefit,” stated Paul A. Friedman, M.D., Incyte’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “I believe these data, over time, will lead to earlier use in the course of this progressive disease.”

“We are very pleased with our quarter over quarter growth in underlying demand, which was 17 percent,” stated Jim Daly, Incyte’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “Given the solid foundation we’ve established for Jakafi, I’m confident that we’ll continue to see consistent growth over the next several years and have set net product revenue guidance for 2013 in the range of $210 million to $225 million.”
