Item 2.02.                                         Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On March 6, 2006, Medarex, Inc. issued a press release to report the company’s financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2005.  A copy of the press release is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.  No additional information is included in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The attached press release contains both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures.  The non-GAAP financial measures included are Net loss and Net loss per share, basic and diluted.  These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the operations of Celldex Therapeutics, Inc., a majority–owned subsidiary of Medarex. Celldex’s operations relate primarily to the research, development and commercialization of therapeutic vaccines, which is outside the scope of Medarex’s core business operations.  As a result, in management’s view, the inclusion of the operations of Celldex are not necessarily indicative of, or directly attributable to, Medarex’s continuing operations, and therefore, management believes that the non-GAAP results are a useful measure of Medarex’s continuing results of operations.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in, any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 9.01                                            Financial Statements and Exhibits.
