Net product revenue for the quarter is expected to be approximately $85.5 million, which includes an approximate $3.8 million favorable adjustment to the Company’s chargebacks reserve due to a change in estimate.

“We have focused our commercial efforts on growing our community accounts, where we see the greatest long-term revenue opportunity. Having achieved our highest quarter ever for community sales, we believe that our community strategy is working,” said John H. Johnson, president, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our key account management teams, combined with improved sales execution and direct-to-patient initiatives, are contributing to the increased use of PROVENGE in community oncology and urology settings, a trend we saw beginning in the third quarter. We are pleased that physicians continue to recognize the importance of sequencing therapy options in advanced prostate cancer treatment and the key role PROVENGE can play as front-line therapy in mCRPC.”
