DYNAVAX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2014

FINANCIAL RESULTS

BERKELEY, CA – May 5, 2014 – Dynavax Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: DVAX) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014. The Company had $177.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31, 2014.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, Dynavax reported total revenues of $3.5 million compared to $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2013. This increase primarily relates to the recognition of revenue under our collaboration agreement with AstraZeneca.

General and administrative expenses were $4.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to $8.8 million for the first quarter of 2013. The 2013 three month period includes non-recurring cash and non-cash stock-based severance costs of $2.5 million. Excluding these non-recurring organizational transition costs, general and administrative expenses decreased by 34% in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Research and development expenses were $13.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2013. This decrease was primarily due to higher severance expenses, including non-cash stock-based compensation charges, in the 2013 period.
