BERKELEY, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 7, 2013) - Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: DVAX) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2013.

For both quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Dynavax reported total revenues of $2.9 million. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $8.4 million compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, general and administrative expenses were $22.2 million compared to $18.9 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was due to one-time cash and non-cash stock-based severance costs of $2.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for the third quarter and nine month period of 2013. General and administrative expenses other than these organizational transition costs decreased by 49% during the third quarter and 24% for the nine month period of 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, research and development expenses were $38.7 million compared to $36.6 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was due primarily to manufacturing activities and expenses related to the supply of HEPLISAV™.
