Millennium Exceeds Non-GAAP Profitability Goal and Narrows GAAP Net Loss by 78%(1)

   Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. logo. (PRNewsFoto/MILLENNIUM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.)

CAMBRIDGE, MA UNITED STATES
    CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Millennium
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MLNM) today reported non-GAAP net income of
$38.6 million for 2006, which marks the Company's first full year of
non-GAAP profitability since becoming a fully integrated biopharmaceutical
organization and exceeds the Company's financial guidance for 2006. This
achievement represents a substantial improvement over the non-GAAP net loss
of $87.2 million in 2005 primarily as a result of an increase in U.S. net
sales of VELCADE(R) (bortezomib) for Injection, the market leader for the
treatment of relapsed multiple myeloma, and lower expenses. GAAP net loss
narrowed 78 percent to $44.0 million in 2006 from $198.2 million in 2005.

    "In 2006, we continued to strengthen the business by driving VELCADE,
advancing our clinical pipeline and bringing forward two new molecules from
discovery to development, all while streamlining our infrastructure," said
Deborah Dunsire, M.D., president and chief executive officer. "These moves
align us with our vision of building an innovation-based company to
continuously deliver medicines that fundamentally change the lives of
patients with cancer and inflammatory diseases."
    "Financially, we had an outstanding year in 2006 as we achieved the
significant milestone of non-GAAP profitability and exceeded our
bottom-line financial guidance for the fourth consecutive year," said
Marsha Fanucci, chief financial officer. "As we enter 2007, we continue to
position the Company for long-term growth by investing in VELCADE and our
promising pipeline while continuing to focus on achieving our annual
financial goals."
    2006 Financial Results
    - The Company achieved non-GAAP net income of $38.6 million. This result
      represents a significant improvement over the non-GAAP net loss of $87.2
      million in 2005 due primarily to:
      - A 15 percent increase in VELCADE U.S. net sales to $220.5 million,
      - An 18 percent decrease in combined non-GAAP research and development
        (R&D) expense and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
        expense as a result of the Company's restructuring initiatives to
        focus investment on the key near-term growth drivers of the business,
        including VELCADE, the development pipeline and oncology discovery,
        and to reduce expenses. This reduction consists of:
        - A 14 percent decrease in non-GAAP R&D expense to $294.9 million
          (with the corresponding GAAP R&D expense, including stock-based
          compensation, of $318.2 million)(2) and
        - A 27 percent decrease in non-GAAP SG&A expense to $131.2 million
          (with the corresponding GAAP SG&A expense, including stock-based
          compensation and transaction costs associated with the AnorMED
          support agreement, of $155.6 million).(2)
    - The Company achieved GAAP net loss of $44.0 million, a substantial
      improvement over the GAAP net loss of $198.2 million for 2005
      primarily as a result of:
      - The increase in VELCADE U.S. net sales and
      - The decrease in operating expenses outlined above, as well as a
        $56.7 million reduction in restructuring charges resulting in $20.4
        million in 2006.
    - As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $894.3 million in cash, cash
      equivalents and marketable securities. The outstanding principal amount
      of convertible debt was $349.6 million of which $99.6 million is
      included in current liabilities.

    VELCADE Commercial Update
    In the U.S., VELCADE is the market leader in the relapsed multiple
myeloma setting, despite new competition, and has experienced unsolicited
market-share growth in the front-line multiple myeloma setting. Outside of
the U.S., VELCADE is marketed by Ortho Biotech Products, L.P., a member of
the Johnson & Johnson Family Of Companies, and is approved in more than 75
countries. Ex- U.S. sales increased consistently throughout 2006 as a
result of several new approvals and launches. In October 2006, VELCADE was
approved for marketing in Japan for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
in patients who have received at least one prior therapy. Millennium
received an $8.0 million payment from Ortho Biotech for the achievement of
this significant regulatory milestone. In addition, in the fourth quarter
of 2006, VELCADE sales outside of the U.S. reached a pre-specified
threshold which triggered a $25.0 million milestone payment from Ortho
Biotech to Millennium.
    In December 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted
full approval of VELCADE for the treatment of patients with mantle cell
lymphoma who have received at least one prior therapy. VELCADE is the first
therapy to be approved by the FDA for the treatment of this disease. Mantle
cell lymphoma is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) with a
U.S. prevalence of 10,000 patients. The approval marks the first indication
for VELCADE in NHL, the most common blood cancer.
    In January 2007, the Company and Ortho Biotech Inc. launched their two-
year U.S. co-promotion efforts, announced in October 2006, to jointly
promote VELCADE for its approved indications. This arrangement is expected
to increase the share of voice around the promotional and educational
effort for VELCADE by leveraging the Ortho Biotech oncology sales force,
which is one of the largest in the industry. Millennium will continue to be
responsible for commercialization, manufacturing and distribution of
VELCADE in the U.S.
    VELCADE Clinical Update
    In January 2007, the Intergroupe Francophone du Myelome (IFM)
cooperative group completed the enrollment of 480 patients in the Phase III
trial evaluating VELCADE in combination with dexamethasone compared to the
vincristine, adriamycin and dexamethasone (VAD) triplet, a commonly used
therapy, as induction therapy prior to stem cell transplantation in newly
diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. The trial conducted by the IFM is part
of a comprehensive Phase III program evaluating VELCADE in the treatment of
newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients in the transplant and
non-transplant settings.
    In December 2006, VELCADE was added to the updated National
Comprehensive Cancer Network treatment protocol for newly diagnosed
multiple myeloma patients. These practice guidelines are a benchmark for
clinical policy in the oncology community.
    At the 48th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH)
in December 2006, VELCADE was featured in over 150 abstracts, demonstrating
significant and continued interest in the product by the hematology
oncology community. The data further underscored the unparalleled strength
of VELCADE as a single agent and demonstrated the product's power in
combination with other agents with a well-characterized and predictable
safety profile.
    - In relapsed multiple myeloma, VELCADE based combinations showed high
      response rates and improvement in time to disease progression.
      - Results from a randomized Phase III trial announced by Johnson &
        Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. (J&JPRD) showed
        a statistically significant improvement in median time to progression
        (p < 0.0001) in patients receiving VELCADE in combination with
        DOXIL(R) (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) compared to in patients
        receiving VELCADE alone. Ortho Biotech Products, L.P. announced on
        January 22, 2007 that the FDA accepted an application for priority
        review of DOXIL as combination therapy with VELCADE to treat patients
        with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy.
      - Results of Phase I and Phase II trials showed overall response rates
        as high as 93 percent and complete and near-complete response rates as
        high as 43 percent, some of the highest known response rates in this
        treatment setting.
    - In front-line multiple myeloma, VELCADE based combinations showed
      improvement in pre- and post-transplant outcomes.
      - Jean-Luc Harousseau, M.D., of Hospital Hotel-Dieu, Nantes, France
        presented preliminary data from the Phase III IFM trial showing that
        the VELCADE and dexamethasone combination achieved a complete and
        near-complete response rate of 20 percent, a greater than two-fold
        improvement over the complete and near-complete response rate produced
        by VAD. The preliminary investigator-assessed data also showed that
        the higher complete and near-complete response rate achieved by the
        VELCADE and dexamethasone combination potentially translated to
        improved post-transplant outcomes for patients.
      - Results of Phase II studies showed overall response rates as high as
        89 percent and very good partial response and complete response rates
        as high as 53 percent. This very good partial response and complete
        response rate improved to 79 percent following stem cell transplant.
    - As retreatment, VELCADE produced high response rates. VELCADE either as
      a single agent or in combination showed overall response rates (complete
      and partial responses) as high as 60 percent among patients who had an
      initial response to VELCADE treatment.
    - In the relapsed NHL setting, VELCADE based combinations demonstrated
      high response rates. Results showed overall response rates as high as 75
      percent across four subtypes of the disease (follicular, marginal zone,
      mantle cell lymphoma and T-cell lymphoma). These data include positive
      results from the Phase II study of VELCADE in combination with rituximab
      in follicular and marginal zone lymphoma which served as the basis for
      the Company-sponsored Phase III registration-enabling trial of once-
      weekly VELCADE plus rituximab versus rituximab alone.
    - Side effects observed in each of the VELCADE studies outlined above were
      similar to those seen in previous studies with VELCADE.

    Pipeline Update
    - MLN0415 - In January 2007, the Company initiated a Phase I multiple
      ascending dose trial of MLN0415, an oral, highly selective, small
      molecule inhibitor of IKKbeta which targets a key inflammatory pathway.
    - MLN0518 - In the fourth quarter of 2006, the National Cancer Institute
      (NCI) initiated Phase I/II trials of MLN0518, a RTK FLT-3, PDGF
      inhibitor, in prostate and renal cancers.
    - MLN3897 - Also in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company initiated a
      randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study of MLN3897
      in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). MLN3897 is an oral small
      molecule designed to block CCR1, a chemokine receptor believed to play a
      role in a number of inflammatory disorders. The multicenter study will
      assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of MLN3897 in combination
      with methotrexate, a standard therapy for RA.

Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C. Millennium
is responsible for commercialization of VELCADE in the U.S.; Janssen-Cilag
is responsible for commercialization in Europe and the rest of the world.
Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K. is responsible for commercialization in Japan.
For a limited period of time, Millennium and Ortho Biotech Inc. will
co-promote VELCADE in the U.S. VELCADE is approved in more than 75
countries worldwide. VELCADE also is approved in the European Union after
first relapse.
    VELCADE is indicated for the treatment of patients with multiple
myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. VELCADE is indicated
for the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma who have received
at least one prior therapy. VELCADE is contraindicated in patients with
hypersensitivity to bortezomib, boron, or mannitol. VELCADE should be
administered under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of
antineoplastic therapy.
    Risks associated with VELCADE therapy include new or worsening
peripheral neuropathy, hypotension observed throughout therapy, cardiac and
pulmonary disorders, gastrointestinal adverse events, thrombocytopenia,
neutropenia and tumor lysis syndrome. Women of childbearing potential
should avoid becoming pregnant while being treated with VELCADE. Cases of
severe sensory and motor peripheral neuropathy have been reported. The
long-term outcome of peripheral neuropathy has not been studied in mantle
cell lymphoma. Acute development or exacerbation of congestive heart
failure, and/or new onset of decreased left ventricular ejection fraction
has been reported, including reports in patients with few or no risk
factors for decreased left ventricular ejection fraction. There have been
rare reports of acute diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disease of unknown
etiology such as pneumonitis, interstitial pneumonia, lung infiltration and
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in patients receiving VELCADE. Some of
these events have been fatal. A higher proportion of these events have been
reported in Japan. There have been rare reports of RPLS in patients
receiving VELCADE. RPLS is a rare, reversible, neurological disorder which
can present with seizure, hypertension, headache, lethargy, confusion,
blindness, and other visual and neurological disturbances. VELCADE is
associated with thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. There have been reports
of gastrointestinal and intracerebral hemorrhage in association with
VELCADE. Transfusions may be considered. Complete blood counts (CBC) should
be frequently monitored during treatment with VELCADE. Rare cases of acute
liver failure have been reported in patients receiving multiple concomitant
medications and with serious underlying medical conditions.
    Safety Data: In 1163 patients in multiple myeloma and mantle cell
lymphoma studies, the most commonly reported adverse events were asthenic
conditions (64%), nausea (55%), diarrhea (52%), constipation (41%),
peripheral neuropathy (39%), thrombocytopenia (36%), appetite decrease,
including reports of anorexia (36%), pyrexia (34%), vomiting (33%) and
anemia (29%). Twenty percent of patients reported at least one episode of
grade 4 toxicity; the most common grade 4 toxicities were thrombocytopenia
(5%) and neutropenia (3%). Fifty percent of patients reported serious
adverse events. The most commonly reported serious adverse events were
pneumonia (7%), pyrexia (6%), diarrhea (5%), vomiting (4%), and nausea,
dehydration, dyspnea and thrombocytopenia (each 3%).

further list and description of the risks and uncertainties the Company
faces, see the reports it has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.
    (1) Non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP profitability, non-GAAP research and
development expenses and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative
expenses are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Please see the Form
8-K furnished on February 8, 2007, by the Company to the Securities and
Exchange Commission for a discussion of why the Company believes these
non-GAAP measures are useful to investors and the additional purposes for
which management uses these measures.
    (2) The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
123R (SFAS 123R) as of January 1, 2006 and now records stock-based
compensation expense in its statement of operations. Although this expense
is a significant ongoing expense affecting the Company's results of
operations, the Company excludes this charge from its non-GAAP R&D,
non-GAAP SG&A, non- GAAP net income/(loss) because: (1) the Company's
management excludes this expense from the Company's budget and planning
process used to allocate resources in the Company's ongoing portfolio
prioritization efforts, (2) the Company believes that excluding this
expense could be helpful in comparing the Company's financial results to
previous periods because stock-based compensation charges are excluded in
the various operating expense categories and (3) as a result of varying
available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety
of award types, the Company believes that excluding stock-based
compensation may enable useful comparisons of the Company's operating
results to its competitors. Non-GAAP net income/(loss) and other non-GAAP
financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for GAAP.
    (3) GAAP net loss for 2007 includes amortization of intangibles of
approximately $34 million in 2007, restructuring charges of between $15
million and $25 million in 2007 and stock-based compensation expense of
between $30 million and $40 million. There could be additional charges
excluded from the Company's GAAP net loss to arrive at non-GAAP net income
and that are dependent on unknown future events and are difficult to
predict and estimate at this time.

    modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record stock-
    based compensation expense based upon fair value in the Company's
    statements of operations.  Stock-based compensation expense relates to
    stock options, the Company's employee stock purchase plan and restricted
    stock.  No stock-based compensation expense was recognized under SFAS 123R
    in any prior period presented.  Stock-based compensation expense is
    allocated between research and development and selling, general and
