Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On June 21, 2013, NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the Company) clarified its guidance with respect to Gattex (teduglutide [rDNA origin]). The Company confirms its prior guidance that it expects to achieve its goal of having 200 to 300 patients on Gattex by the end of 2013. The Company will provide investors with an update on the progress of the Gattex launch when it reports its second quarter financial results in August 2013.
Statements made in this filing, which are not historical in nature, constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the Companys current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Companys future financial performance. Risks associated to the Companys business include, but are not limited to, the risks associated with any failure by the Company to successfully commercialize Gattex (teduglutide [rDNA origin]) for injection, including the risk that physicians and patients may not see the advantages of Gattex and may therefore be reluctant to utilize the product, the risk that private and public payers may be reluctant to cover or provide reimbursement for Gattex, the risks associated with the Companys strategy, global macroeconomic conditions, the impact of changes in management or staff levels, the effect of legislation effecting healthcare reform in the United States, as well as other risk factors described in the Companys periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs. All information in this press release is as of the date of this release and NPS undertakes no duty to update this information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
