Reduction in fair value after early termination of Roche project
- » Evotec AG and Roche have announced the voluntarily termination of the phase II proof-ofconcept study on EVT101 in the indication treatment-resistant depression. The reason given was difficulties in recruiting patients in view of a very complex study protocol. Nevertheless, EVT101 had so far been well tolerated by healthy volunteers and patients.
- » Roche had financed the development programme in full in exchange for a buyback option once results of the proof-of-concept study would have been available. This option payment of USD 65m therefore no longer applies, likewise any potential further milestones or a share of sales after market entry.
- » Evotec will retain all the rights to the EVT100 series, especially those to the follow-on substance EVT103, and will offer these substances to other partners for further development rather than developing them itself. However, a potential resumption of trials with the follow-on component EVT103 in our view will only occur until after further toxicology studies and dosage adjustments have taken place (i.e. not before 2012/13).
- » No impact on the company's guidance is to be expected.
We are adjusting our fair value in light of an unexpected termination of the EVT101 trial in treatment-resistant depression. We have removed from our model any expectation of a milestone payment as well as a share of sales from 2015 onwards. We are sticking to our buy rating in view of the company's excellent growth prospects and expected positive news flow expected from new and existing alliances. New fair value: EUR 3.50 Euro per share.

AT A GLANCE
Company profile
Evotec pursues a hybrid business model as a service provider and drug developer for the pharmaceutical industry. In addition to fees for contract work, the company also receives payments on reaching specific research milestones and a share of sales once a drug has reached the market. The company now only develops its own, self-funded projects up to a certain degree of maturity.
Basis for investment recommendation
Evotec has a large number of newly concluded or extended research alliances with notable pharmaceuticals companies (e.g. Roche, Genentec, Boehringer Ingelheim, Biogen Idec, Merck KGaA). The acquisition of Kinaxo will enhance Evotec's expertise especially in the growth area of cancer drugs. We regard the extension of the substance library as a further meaningful addition. Sustainable profitability is being targeted for 2012 at the latest, but we think it might already be obtained in 2011. We are raising the fair value to EUR 3.80. Buy recommendation.
Price sensitive current issues
- » Integration of newly acquired Develogen and Kinaxo
- » Further expansion of customer base, in particular through the newly acquired companies (Develogen and Kinaxo)
- » Guidance for 2011 in terms of potential early completion of "Evotec 2012 Action plan to focus and grow"
