MANNKIND CORPORATION REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

- Conference Call Today at 5:00 p.m. EST -

MannKind Corporation (Nasdaq:MNKD) today reported financial results for the
third quarter ended September 30, 2009. 

For the third quarter of 2009, total operating expenses were $42.8 million,
compared to $69.1 million for the third quarter of 2008. Research and
development (R&D) expenses were $30.5 million for the third quarter of 2009
compared to $55.6 million for the same quarter in 2008, a decrease of $25.2
million. This 45% decrease was primarily due to reduced costs associated with
the clinical development of AFRESA as the Company completed its pivotal AFRESA
trials in 2008, as well as decreases in clinical supplies costs. General and
administrative (G&A) expenses decreased by $1.2 million or 9% to $12.3 million
for the third quarter of 2009 compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter of
2008. 

For the first nine months of 2009, operating expenses totaled $154.0 million,
compared to $224.0 million in the first nine months of 2008. R&D expenses for
the first nine months were $113.2 million, compared to $181.7 million in 2008, a
decrease of $68.4 million. The 38% decrease in R&D expenses for the first nine
months was primarily due to decreased costs associated with the clinical
development of AFRESA as the Company completed its pivotal AFRESA trials in
2008, as well as decreases in cost of clinical supplies. G&A expenses decreased
by $1.6 million or 4% to $40.7 million for the first nine months of 2009 as
compared to $42.4 million in the same period in 2008. The decrease in G&A
expenses for the first nine months of 2009 was primarily due to the
nonrecurrence of costs associated with the purchase of patents during the first
quarter of 2008, which was partially offset in 2009 by increased professional
fees related to the insulin acquisition transaction with Pfizer Inc. during the
second quarter of 2009 and partnership discussions during the third quarter of
2009. 

The net loss applicable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2009 was
$45.6 million, or $0.42 per share, based on 108.8 million weighted average
shares outstanding. This compares to a net loss applicable to common
stockholders of $68.5 million, or $0.67 per share, based on 101.6 million
weighted average shares outstanding for the third quarter of 2008. 

The net loss applicable to common stockholders for the first nine months of 2009
was $160.6 million, or $1.54 per share based on 104.4 million weighted average
shares outstanding, compared with a net loss applicable to common stockholders
of $219.7 million, or $2.17 per share based on 101.5 million weighted average
shares outstanding, for the first nine months of 2008. 

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $56.6 million at September
30, 2009 and $46.5 million at December 31, 2008. Currently, the Company has
$200.0 million of available borrowings under the loan agreement with an entity
controlled by the Company`s principal stockholder. 

"While we continue to be fully engaged in the task of navigating our NDA through
the FDA review process, we are continuing to run additional studies of AFRESA.
The results to date are preliminary, but we have nonetheless observed some
interesting and exciting findings," said Alfred Mann, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. "The more we study our product in different settings and
under different conditions, the more we can appreciate how it has the potential
to change the way diabetes is treated. In addition, as we get closer to our
January 2010 PFUFA date for the first generation of AFRESA, we are increasing
the pace of development of the next generation inhaler in order to provide soon
an even better therapeutic option for the millions of patients with diabetes."
