Epix Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:EPIX - News) shares soared 30% after it entered into a drug discovery and development pact with GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK - News). As part of deal, Epix will receive an upfront payment of $35 million, which includes $17.5 million from the sale of 3 million shares of its common stock. Epix will also be eligible for up to $1.2 billion for the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties on product sales.
Imperial Sugar Co. (NASDAQ:IPSU - News) shares jumped 15% after it reported that it swung to a fiscal fourth-quarter profit from a year-earlier loss and declared a $3 special dividend. For the quarter ended Sept. 30, Imperial earned $15.7 million, or $1.36 a share, compared with a loss of $20.3 million, or $1.92, in the year-earlier period. Continuing operations produced earnings of $1.34 compared with a loss of 26 cents. Sales reached $240.3 million, up 6.1% from $226.6 million. In a statement, Imperial said gross-profit margin widened to 15.5% from 4.7%, primarily because of higher sales prices, offset by higher energy, freight and raw-sugar costs. The special dividend, which comes in addition to the company's regular dividend, is payable Jan. 5 to holders of record Dec. 26. Looking ahead, Imperial said fiscal 2007 prices and margins probably will lag 2006 levels, offset partly by reduced raw-sugar and energy costs. The combination of factors leads the company to believe it can "maintain a profit outlook that is superior to historical averages," Imperial said.
