Vienna (Austria), March 5, 2007 - Vaccine company Intercell AG (VSE:
ICLL) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and
the full year 2006:

Q4 2006 Financial review

Intercell’s aggregate revenues increased from EUR 3.7 million in the
fourth quarter 2005 to EUR 17.0 million in the fourth quarter 2006.
This strong increase was due to outstanding revenues from
collaborations and licensing of EUR 16.0 million in the three months
ended December 31, 2006, compared to EUR 2.7 million in the same
period of the prior year. Revenues resulted primarily from a
milestone payment of EUR 10 million under the marketing and
distribution agreement for Intercell’s Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine
with Novartis, following submission of positive Phase III data, and
from an up-front license payment, partially recognized as revenue in
the fourth quarter 2006, from Merck&Co., Inc. under a new partnership
to develop a prophylactic vaccine and antibody treatment against
Group A Streptococcus.

Driven by revenues from collaborations and licensing, Intercell could
achieve its first profitable quarterly result ever in the fourth
quarter 2006. Net income was EUR 5.6 million, compared to a net loss
of EUR 7.2 million in the fourth quarter 2005.

Research and development costs decreased from EUR 11.0 million in the
fourth quarter 2005 to EUR 9.2 million in the same period in 2006 due
to a decrease in clinical trial costs.

Full year 2006 Financial Review

Intercell’s aggregate annual revenues increased from EUR 8.5 million
in the year ended December 31, 2005 to EUR 23.5 million in the year
ended December 31, 2006, or by 176.5 percent. This strong increase
was due to higher revenues from collaborations and licensing
resulting from new partnerships with pharmaceutical companies and
from significant progress made in the existing collaborations.
Revenues from collaborations and licensing were EUR 21.5 million in
2006, compared to EUR 6.3 million in 2005, which represents an
increase of 241.3 percent.

Intercell’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 was EUR
16.1 million, compared to EUR 25.1 million in 2005. This decrease by
35.9 percent represents a change in the trend of increasing net
losses throughout the previous years. The decrease in net loss was
due to the strong increase in revenues, while net operating expenses
also continued to increase as a result of the progress of Intercell’s
development programs. Research and development costs increased from
EUR 28.5 million in 2005 to EUR 31.0 million in 2006, or by 8.8
percent. As of December 31, 2006, Intercell had liquid funds of EUR
94.4 million of which EUR 28.9 million was cash and cash equivalents
and EUR 65.5 million was available-for-sale securities. The full
quarterly report including un-audited financial statements can be
