Summary
Summary of the 10-K filed March 6, 2008. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Incyte Corporation (Nasdaq: INCY) is a drug discovery and development company focused on small molecule drugs for serious unmet medical needs, with programs in oncology, inflammation, diabetes and HIV.
The company reported a net loss of $86.9 milliona for 2007, compared with $74.2 million in 2006, and total revenues of $34.4 million, up from $27.6 million. Research and development expenses rose to $104.9 million from $87.6 million. Contract revenues of $29.8 million were derived primarily from the collaborative research and license agreement with Pfizer for CCR2 antagonists.
As of December 31, 2007, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $257.3 millionb, against $421.8 million of aggregate principal amount of total consolidated debt and a stockholders' deficit of $159.5 million. Operating cash outflow was $92.7 million in 2007. The pipeline is led by INCB18424, an oral and topical JAK inhibitor in Phase IIa trials across myelofibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, refractory prostate cancer and multiple myeloma, with a follow-on compound, INCB28050, expected to enter clinical trials in 2008.
Other programs include 11ßHSD1 inhibitors for type 2 diabetes, an HM74a agonist in Phase I, CCR5 antagonists for HIV (INCB9471 in Phase II), a sheddase inhibitor for solid tumors (INCB7839 in Phase II), and a CCR2 antagonist (INCB8696) for multiple sclerosis in Phase I. The company states that it has no drug products that have generated revenues and that it expects to continue incurring losses in 2008 and future periods. Management believes its cash and marketable securities will be adequate for at least the next twelve months.
The filing lists several risks central to the investment case, including early-stage clinical development, reliance on Pfizer for CCR2 antagonist development, dependence on third-party manufacturers and CROs, the need for additional capital, and the company's convertible debt obligations. The filing reports that the company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.
