reported net loss of $33.7 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the 
first quarter 2013. A description of the non-GAAP calculations and 
reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the 
accompanying table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP 
Financial Measures."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Revenue&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;For the first quarter of 2013, Onyx reported total revenue of $145.5
 million, as compared to total revenue of $72.0 million for the 
comparable period in 2012. 
&lt;br /&gt;


&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Revenue from the Nexavar collaboration agreement with Bayer for the 
first quarter of 2013 was $70.3 million, as compared to $72.0 million 
for the comparable period in 2012. The decrease in revenue from 
collaboration is primarily due to inventory reductions of specialized 
oncology pharmacies in the United States and lower sales in Europe which
 were partially offset by growth in the Asia-Pacific region and improved
 commercial margin in the business. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Kyprolis net sales for the first quarter of 2013 were $64.0 million,
 including a favorable gross-to-net accrual adjustment of $5.9 million. 
Demand sales were $58.1 million, representing orders shipped to and 
received by end customers such as physician offices and hospitals. In 
addition, Onyx recorded deferred revenue of $9.3 million as of March 31,
 2013, representing Kyprolis inventory at distributors which has not yet
 shipped to physician offices and hospitals. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Stivarga royalty revenue was $9.2 million for the first quarter of 
2013. Onyx receives a 20% royalty on global net sales of Stivarga in 
jurisdictions that have received commercial marketing approval. Stivarga
 is a Bayer compound developed by Bayer and jointly promoted by Bayer 
and Onyx in the United States. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Operating Expenses&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;Non-GAAP cost of goods sold was $1.9 million for the first quarter 
of 2013. Cost of goods sold related to sales of Kyprolis is not 
representative of Onyx's future expectations of cost of goods sold 
because certain product costs associated with Kyprolis sales in the 
first quarter of 2013 were charged to research and development expense 
in periods prior to approval. On a GAAP basis, cost of goods sold was 
$2.0 million for the first quarter 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Non-GAAP research and development expense was $88.8 million for the 
first quarter of 2013, compared to $78.7 million for the same period in 
2012. Higher research and development expense between periods was 
primarily due to the global development of Kyprolis, particularly the 
ongoing Phase 3 ENDEAVOR trial and start-up activities associated with 
the front-line CLARION study, which was offset by lower Nexavar 
development expense. On a GAAP basis, research and development expense 
was $91.3 million for the first quarter 2013, compared to $80.7 million 
for the same period in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expense was $66.5 million 
for the first quarter 2013, compared to $34.1 million for the same 
period in 2012. Higher selling, general and administrative expense 
between periods was primarily related to the increased headcount 
following the hiring of the field force associated with the commercial 
launch of Kyprolis in the United States. On a GAAP basis, selling, 
general and administrative expense was $72.5 million for the first 
quarter 2013, compared to $38.9 million for the same period in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Amortization expense for certain intangible assets was $5.2 million for 
the first quarter 2013, and reflects the amortization of a portion of 
the intangible asset, which was acquired in the 2009 acquisition of 
Proteolix, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;On March 31, 2013, cash, cash equivalents and current and 
non-current marketable securities were $738.9 million, compared to 
$492.8 million at December 31, 2012. The increase is primarily due to 
proceeds of approximately $352 million received from a public offering 
of 4.4 million shares of common stock, completed in January 2013.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Non-GAAP Financial Measures&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;This press release and the reconciliation table included herein 
includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP net income 
(loss), non-GAAP net income (loss) - diluted, non-GAAP net income (loss)
 per share, non-GAAP net income (loss) per share - diluted, non-GAAP 
cost of goods sold, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP 
selling, general and administrative expense and non-GAAP operating 
expenses. A description of the non-GAAP calculations and reconciliation 
to the comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the 
accompanying table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP 
Financial Measures."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Onyx management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and 
evaluate our operating results and trends on an on-going basis, and 
internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. 
Onyx management believes the non-GAAP information is useful for 
investors by offering the ability to better identify trends in our 
business and better understand how management evaluates the business. 
These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not 
include all items of income and expense that affect Onyx. These non-GAAP
 financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, and should not 
be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measurements 
required by GAAP. A description of the non-GAAP calculations and 
reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the 
accompanying table entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP
Financial Measures."&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude contingent consideration expense 
(benefit), employee stock-based compensation expense, imputed interest 
related to the convertible senior notes due 2016 and amortization of 
certain intangible assets.&lt;br /&gt;
