Genmab Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2017

May 10, 2017; Copenhagen, Denmark;
Interim Report for the First Quarter of 2017

Highlights

  • USD 255 million in net sales of DARZALEX® (daratumumab); resulting in royalty income of DKK 211 million
  • DARZALEX received positive opinion from European regulatory authorities for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
  • Judith Klimovsky, MD appointed Chief Development Officer
  • Phase II study of daratumumab in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (CARINA) did not proceed to stage 2 of trial

"In the first quarter of 2017 we received a positive regulatory opinion for DARZALEX in combination with standard therapies for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in the EU, and continued to progress our other pipeline projects. As part of our aim to grow into a sustainably profitable company, we also strengthened our executive management team with the appointment of Judith Klimovsky, MD, as Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer," said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.

Financial Performance First Quarter of 2017

  • Revenue was DKK 251 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 170 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase of DKK 81 million, or 48%, was mainly driven by increased DARZALEX royalties, partly offset by a decrease in milestone income.
  • Operating expenses were DKK 205 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 154 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase of DKK 51 million, or 33%, was due to the additional investment in our pipeline of products, including the advancement of tisotumab vedotin, HuMax®-AXL-ADC, HexaBody®-DR5/DR5, DuoBody®-CD3xCD20, and the various products in our pre-clinical pipeline.
  • Operating income was DKK 46 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 16 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase of DKK 30 million, or 188%, was driven by higher revenue which was partly offset by the increased operating expenses in 2017.
  • On March 31, 2017, Genmab had a cash position of DKK 4,751 million compared to DKK 3,922 million at December 31, 2016. This represented a net increase of DKK 829 million, which was mainly driven by positive working capital adjustments of DKK 665 million related to milestones achieved in the fourth quarter of 2016 that were received in 2017, proceeds from the exercise of warrants of DKK 103 million, and operating income.

Subsequent Event

  • April: The European Commission granted a marketing authorization for DARZALEX in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. The approval converts the previous conditional marketing authorization for DARZALEX to a full approval. Genmab will receive milestone payments totaling USD 48 million from Janssen in connection with the first commercial sales of DARZALEX under the expanded label. The sales are expected to occur quickly after the approval.

Outlook

Genmab is maintaining its 2017 financial guidance published on February 22, 2017.

Interim Report First Quarter 2017

OUTLOOK

MDKK 2017 Guidance
Revenue 1,950 – 2,150
Operating expenses (1,000) – (1,100)
Operating income 900 – 1,100
Cash position at end of year* >4,500

*Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities

Genmab is maintaining its 2017 financial guidance published on February 22, 2017.

We expect our 2017 revenue to be in the range of DKK 1,950 – 2,150 million. Our projected revenue for 2017 consists primarily of DARZALEX royalties of DKK 930 – 1,100 million that are based on an estimated USD 1,100 – 1,300 million of DARZALEX net sales in 2017 and DARZALEX milestones of DKK 800 million. The remainder of the revenue mainly consists of Arzerra® royalties, DuoBody milestones, and non-cash amortization of deferred revenue.

We anticipate that our 2017 operating expenses will be in the range of DKK 1,000 – 1,100 million. The increased expense level is driven by the advancement and continued investment in our pipeline of products, including tisotumab vedotin, HuMax-AXL-ADC, HexaBody-DR5/DR5, DuoBody-CD3xCD20, and our early stage pre-clinical programs.

We expect the operating income for 2017 to be approximately DKK 900 – 1,100 million.

Cash Position

We are projecting our cash position at the end of 2017 to be greater than DKK 4,500 million.

Outlook: Risks and Assumptions

In addition to factors already mentioned, the estimates above are subject to change due to numerous reasons, including but not limited to the achievement of certain milestones associated with our collaboration agreements; the timing and variation of development activities (including activities carried out by our collaboration partners) and related income and costs; DARZALEX and Arzerra sales and corresponding royalties to Genmab; fluctuations in the value of our marketable securities; and currency exchange rates. The financial guidance does not include any potential proceeds from future warrant exercises and also assumes that no significant agreements are entered into during 2017 that could materially affect the results.

immunomodulatory agent. In the EU, DARZALEX is approved for use in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy, and as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, whose prior therapy included a PI and an immunomodulatory agent and who have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy.

The warnings and precautions for DARZALEX include infusion reactions, interference with serological testing and interference with determination of complete response. The most frequently reported adverse reactions (incidence ≥20%) in clinical trials were: fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, muscle spasms, back pain, pyrexia, cough, dyspnea, peripheral edema, peripheral sensory neuropathy and upper respiratory tract infection.

Please consult the full U.S. Prescribing information and the full European Summary of Product Characteristics for all the labeled safety information for DARZALEX.

Subsequent Event

  • April: The European Commission granted a marketing authorization for DARZALEX in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy. The approval converts the previous conditional marketing authorization for DARZALEX to a full approval. Genmab will receive milestone payments totaling USD 48 million from Janssen in connection with the first commercial sales of DARZALEX under the expanded label. The sales are expected to occur quickly after the approval.

First Quarter Update

  • March: Janssen decided not to initiate stage 2 of the Phase II study (CARINA, LYM2001) of daratumumab in three types of relapsed or refractory NHL. A data review showed that two cohorts of the study, in follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, did not reach the predefined futility thresholds of overall response rates (ORR) of 50% and 30%, respectively. In the third cohort of the study, in mantle cell lymphoma, ORR was not evaluable due to slow recruitment. This decision has no impact on other ongoing or planned studies with daratumumab.
  • February: The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has issued a positive opinion recommending broadening the existing marketing authorization for DARZALEX (daratumumab) in the European Union. The recommendation is for the use of DARZALEX in combination with lenalidomide and dexamethasone, or bortezomib and dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior therapy.
  • February: MorphoSys was allowed to amend its original complaint to include a second U.S. patent, U. S. patent no. 9,200,061. In April 2016, MorphoSys filed its original complaint at the U.S. District Court of Delaware against Genmab and Janssen Biotech, Inc., for patent infringement under U.S. patent no. 8,263,746 based on activities relating to the manufacture, use and sale of DARZALEX in the U.S. MorphoSys is seeking money damages. The trial date has been set for August 2018 and jury trial has been requested by MorphoSys. Genmab and Janssen disagree with the allegations made by MorphoSys in its complaint for patent infringement and vigorously contest those allegations.
  • Q1: Several new studies of daratumumab were published on www.clinicaltrials.gov including – a Phase II study in combination with nivolumab for colon cancer; a Phase I/II study in combination with atezolizumab in previously treated advanced or metastatic NSCLC; a Phase I/II study in combination with nivolumab for virus associated tumors; a Phase II study comparing daratumumab with talacotuzumab in myelodysplastic syndromes and a Phase I/II study in combination with nivolumab for advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Genmab

Interim Report First Quarter 2017

In the U.S., Arzerra is approved for use in combination with chlorambucil for the treatment of previously untreated patients with CLL for whom fludarabine-based therapy is considered inappropriate, for use in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) for the treatment of patients with relapsed CLL, and for extended treatment of patients who are in complete or partial response after at least two lines of therapy for recurrent or progressive CLL. In the EU, Arzerra is approved for use in combination with chlorambucil or bendamustine for the treatment of patients with CLL who have not received prior therapy and who are not eligible for fludarabine-based therapy and in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide for adult patients with relapsed CLL. In more than 60 countries worldwide, Arzerra is also indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of patients with CLL who are refractory after prior treatment with fludarabine and alemtuzumab.

The overall safety profile of Arzerra in CLL is based on exposure in clinical trials and the post-marketing setting. Arzerra has been used in more than 3,500 patients treated alone or in combination with other therapies in clinical trials. It is estimated that more than 9,000 patients have been exposed to Arzerra for at least one treatment course in the post-marketing setting.

The most common side effects for Arzerra include adverse events associated with infusion reactions, cytopenias (neutropenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia), and infections (lower respiratory tract infection, including pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection, sepsis, including neutropenic sepsis and septic shock, herpes viral infection, urinary tract infection).

Please consult the full European Summary of Product Characteristics and full US Prescribing information, including Boxed Warning, for all the labeled safety information for Arzerra.

JNJ-63709178 is a bispecific antibody that targets CD3, which is expressed on T-cells and CD123, which is overexpressed in various hematologic malignancies. JNJ-63709178 can redirect T-cells, resulting in T-cell mediated killing of CD123+ AML cells. JNJ-63709178 was created by Janssen using Genmab's DuoBody technology under the companies' collaboration agreement. JNJ-63709178 is being investigated in a Phase I study in relapsed or refractory AML.

First Quarter Update

  • March: The Phase I study of JNJ-63709178 in AML was released from clinical hold and the study is actively recruiting.

Pre-clinical Programs

  • Broad pre-clinical pipeline of over 20 programs including HexaBody-DR5/DR5, and DuoBody-CD3xCD20
  • Pre-clinical pipeline includes both partnered products and in-house programs based on our proprietary technologies
  • Multiple new INDs expected to be submitted over coming years

Genmab has over 20 active in-house and partnered pre-clinical programs. Our pre-clinical pipeline includes naked antibodies, immune effector function enhanced antibodies developed with our HexaBody technology, and bispecific antibodies created with our DuoBody platform. A number of the pre-clinical programs are carried out in cooperation with our collaboration partners.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

As a biotech company, Genmab faces a number of risks and uncertainties. These are common for the industry and relate to operations, research and development, commercial and financial activities. For further information about risks and uncertainties which the Genmab group faces, refer to the 2016 annual report. At the date of this interim report, there have been no significant changes to Genmab's overall risk profile since the publication of the 2016 annual report.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The interim report is prepared on a consolidated basis for the Genmab group. The financial statements are published in Danish Kroner (DKK).

Revenue

Genmab's revenue was DKK 251 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 170 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The increase of DKK 81 million, or 48%, was mainly driven by increased DARZALEX royalties partly offset by a decrease in milestone revenue. Royalties were 90% of total revenue in the first quarter of 2017 compared to 59% in the first quarter of 2016.

Royalty income amounted to DKK 225 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 100 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase of DKK 125 million was driven by higher DARZALEX royalties, which were partly offset by lower Arzerra royalties.

Interim Report First Quarter 2017

Net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 255 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to USD 101 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase of USD 154 million, or 152%, was driven by strong uptake following the regulatory approvals in the U.S. and EU. Royalty income on net sales of DARZALEX was DKK 211 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 83 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of DKK 128 million, or 154%.

Novartis' net sales of Arzerra were USD 10 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to USD 12 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease of USD 2 million, or 17%, was due to continued competition in the refractory CLL market. Royalty income on net sales of Arzerra was DKK 14 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 17 million in 2015 in the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of DKK 3 million, or 18%.

Milestone Payments

There was no milestone income recognized during the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 45 million in the first quarter of 2016. The milestone achieved in the first quarter of 2016 was for progress in the Phase II study (CARINA, LYM2001). Milestone income may vary significantly from period to period due to timing of achievement of milestones under our collaboration agreements.

Deferred Revenue

In the first quarter of 2017, deferred revenue amounted to DKK 24 million compared to DKK 23 million in the first quarter of 2016. The deferred revenue is related to our collaboration agreements and is recognized in the income statement on a straight line basis over planned development periods. As of March 31, 2017, DKK 204 million was included as deferred income in the balance sheet. Please refer to note 2.1 in the 2016 annual report for further details about the accounting treatment of deferred revenue.

Reimbursement Income

Reimbursement income, comprised of the reimbursement of certain research and development costs under our collaboration agreements, amounted to DKK 2 million in both the first quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2016.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs amounted to DKK 170 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 127 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase of DKK 43 million, or 34%, was driven by the additional investment in our pipeline of products, including the advancement of tisotumab vedotin, HuMax-AXL-ADC, HexaBody-DR5/DR5, DuoBody-CD3xCD20, and the various products in our pre-clinical pipeline.

Research and development costs accounted for 83% of the total operating expenses in the first quarters of both 2017 and 2016.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were DKK 35 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 27 million in the first quarter of 2016. The increase of DKK 8 million, or 30%, was driven by higher non-cash share-based compensation mainly due to an increasing share price and the increase in administrative support functions due to the expansion of our pipeline of products.

General and administrative expenses accounted for 17% of the total operating expenses in the first quarters of both 2017 and 2016.

Operating Result

Operating income was DKK 46 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to DKK 16 million in the first quarter of 2016. The improvement of DKK 30 million, or 188%, was driven by higher revenue which was partly offset by increased operating expenses.

Interim Report First Quarter 2017

As of March 31, 2017, the total number of employees was 219 compared to 189 employees as of March 31, 2016. The increase was due to the expansion of our clinical product pipeline and our pre-clinical programs and related administrative support functions.

Research and development employees 189 162
Administrative employees 30 27
Total employees 219 189

Net Financial Items

The net financial items for the first quarter of 2017 were a net loss of DKK 26 million compared to a net loss of DKK 28 million in the first quarter of 2016. The net loss in both periods was driven by foreign exchange movements which negatively impacted our USD denominated portfolio and our USD cash holdings.

Corporate Tax

The corporate tax expense for the first quarter of 2017 was DKK 4 million, or an effective tax rate of 21%, which was based on the estimated average effective corporate tax rate for the full year. There was minimal corporate tax expense in the first quarter of 2016 as a tax loss was projected for the full year and no benefit for the loss was expected to be recognized due to the full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Net Result

Net result for the first quarter of 2017 was a net income of DKK 16 million compared to a net loss of DKK 12 million in the corresponding period of 2016. The increase was driven by the items described above.

Cash Position

Cash Position (MDKK) March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016
Marketable securities 3,986 3,615
Cash and cash equivalents 765 307
Cash position 4,751 3,922

As of March 31, 2017, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (cash position) amounted to DKK 4,751 million. This represents a net increase of DKK 829 million from the beginning of 2017, which was mainly driven by positive working capital adjustments of DKK 665 million related to milestones achieved in the fourth quarter of 2016 which were received in 2017, proceeds from the exercise of warrants of DKK 103 million, and operating income.

Cash and cash equivalents included short term marketable securities of DKK 218 million at the end of March 2017 compared to DKK 100 million at the end of March 2016. In accordance with our accounting policy, these securities are classified as cash and cash equivalents as the securities have a maturity of less than three months at the date of acquisition. The remaining cash and cash equivalents is related to bank deposits.

Cash Flow

Cash Flow (MDKK) Q1 2017 Q1 2016
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities 752 (9)
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities (387) (245)
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities 103 38

Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily related to our operating result, working capital fluctuations, and changes in non-cash expenses, all of which may be highly variable period to period. In the first quarter of 2017, the primary driver of increased cash provided by operating activities was positive working capital adjustments related to milestones achieved in the fourth quarter of 2016 which were received in 2017.

The change in cash used in investing activities primarily reflects differences between the proceeds received from sale and maturity of our investments and amounts invested. Purchases of marketable securities exceeded sales and maturities in both the first quarter of 2017 and 2016 which has resulted in significant growth in our marketable securities balance.

Net cash provided by financing activities is primarily related to the proceeds from the exercise of warrants. During the first quarter of 2017 proceeds from the exercise of warrants were DKK 103 million compared to DKK 38 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Balance Sheet

As of March 31, 2017, total assets were DKK 5,406 million compared to DKK 5,238 million as of December 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the assets are mainly comprised of a cash position of DKK 4,751 million and receivables of DKK 329 million. The receivables consist primarily of royalties from our collaboration agreements and non-interest bearing receivables, which are due less than one year from the balance sheet date. The credit risk on receivables is considered to be limited.

Shareholders' equity as of March 31, 2017 was DKK 5,006 million compared to DKK 4,827 million at the end of December 2016. On March 31, 2017, Genmab's equity ratio was 93% compared to 92% at the end of 2016. The increase was driven by our net income as well as the exercise of warrants in the first quarter of 2017.

Interim Report First Quarter 2017

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The interim report is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 (IAS 34), "Interim Financial Reporting" and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies. The interim report has not been reviewed or audited by Genmab's external auditors.

Accounting Policies

The interim report has been prepared using the same accounting policies as outlined in section 1 – Basis of Presentation in the financial statements in the 2016 annual report.

Management Judgments and Estimates under IFRS

In preparing interim reports, certain provisions under IFRS require management to make judgments (various accounting estimates and assumptions) which may significantly impact the group's financial statements. The most significant judgments include, among other things, revenue recognition, share-based compensation, deferred tax assets, and recognition of internally generated intangible assets. For additional descriptions of significant judgments and estimates, refer to note 1.3 in the 2016 annual report.

Fair Value Measurement

For financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, IFRS 13 for financial instruments requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy for:

  • Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
  • Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
MDKK March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016
Assets Measured at Fair Value Note Level 1 Level 2 Level 1 Level 2
Marketable securities 2 3,986 - 3,615 -
Receivables – derivatives - 7 - 4

Marketable Securities

All fair market values are determined by reference to external sources using unadjusted quoted prices in established markets for our marketable securities (Level 1).

Derivative Financial Instruments

Genmab entered into derivative instruments (forward contracts) to hedge currency exposure associated with future royalties on net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen. The derivatives are not traded on an active market based on quoted prices. The fair value is determined using valuation techniques that utilize market based data such as currency rates, yield curves and implied volatility (Level 2).

Genmab invests its cash in deposits with major financial institutions, Danish mortgage bonds and notes issued by Danish, European, and American governments.

As of March 31, 2017, 94% of our marketable securities had a triple A-rating, which is consistent with December 31, 2016.

Note 3 – Share-Based Instruments

Restricted Stock Unit Program

Genmab A/S established a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) program as an incentive for all the Genmab group's employees, members of the Executive Management, and members of the Board of Directors.

Under the terms of the RSU program, RSUs are subject to a cliff vesting period and become fully vested on the first banking day of the month following a period of three years from the date of grant. Within 30 days of the vesting date, the holder of a RSU receives one share in Genmab A/S for each RSU.

Genmab A/S intends to purchase its own shares in order to cover its obligations in relation to the RSUs. Authorization to purchase Genmab A/S' own shares up to a nominal value of DKK 500,000 (500,000 shares) was given at the Annual General Meeting in March 2016. During the third quarter of 2016, Genmab acquired 100,000 of its own shares to cover its future obligations under the RSU program which remain classified as treasury shares and presented within accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2017. There were no acquisitions or holding of treasury shares prior to the initial acquisition in the third quarter of 2016.

Warrant Program

Genmab A/S established warrant programs as an incentive for the members of the Executive Management and the group's employees.

Warrants Granted from August 2004 until April 2012

Under the August 2004 warrant program, warrants vest annually over a four year period on the anniversary of the grant date. Warrants granted under the August 2004 warrant program will lapse on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. As a general rule, the warrant holder may only exercise 25% of the warrants granted per full year of employment or affiliation with Genmab after the grant date. However, the warrant holder will be entitled to retain rights to exercise all warrants on a regular schedule in instances where the employment relationship is terminated by Genmab without cause.

Warrants Granted from April 2012 until March 2017

In April 2012, a new warrant program was adopted by the Board of Directors. Whereas warrants granted under the August 2004 warrant program will lapse on the tenth anniversary of the grant date, warrants granted under the April 2012 warrant program will lapse at the seventh anniversary of the grant date. All other terms in the warrant programs are identical.

DIRECTORS' AND MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT ON THE INTERIM REPORT

The Board of Directors and the Executive Management have today considered and adopted the unaudited interim report of the Genmab group for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The interim report is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 (IAS 34), "Interim Financial Reporting", as endorsed by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies.

We consider the applied accounting policies to be appropriate and, in our opinion, the interim report gives a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial position, results of operation and cash flows of the group.

Furthermore, we consider the Management's Review, pages 3-27, to give a true and fair account of the development in the group's activities and financial affairs, results of operations and the group's financial position as a whole as well as a description of the significant risks and uncertainties which the group faces.
