ImmunoGen, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMGN), a biotechnology company that develops novel anticancer therapeutics using its antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) technology, today reported financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 – the third quarter of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year. ImmunoGen also provided an update on Company and partner product programs.
“The expanding amount of encouraging clinical data being reported by us and our partners reflects the investments we have made in our technology and in our product development capabilities,” commented Daniel Junius, President and CEO. “Earlier this month, we reported clinical data showing that our change to the dosing calculation for IMGN853 appears to have had the desired effect, and we are pleased with the dose levels being achieved. There continues to be strong investigator interest in our IMGN289 EGFR-targeting ADC, which has enabled dose escalation to already be reaching potentially therapeutic dose levels. Dose escalation with IMGN529 has resumed, as noted previously, and this compound for B-cell malignancies is now being administered at doses above those where anticancer activity was first seen.”
Mr. Junius continued, “Kadcyla sales are off to a good start, with the results from its next registration trial – MARIANNE – expected later this year. Encouraging initial clinical data were reported with Amgen’s AMG 595 earlier this month, and we expect the body of clinical data around our compounds and those of our partners to increase substantially in 2014.”

Financial Results
For the Company’s quarter ended March 31, 2014 (3Q FY2014), ImmunoGen reported a net loss of $37.5 million, or $0.44 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $1.4 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the same quarter last year (3Q FY2013). Included in the current period is a $12.8 million ($0.15/share) non-cash expense related to the collaboration recently established with CytomX.
Revenues for 3Q FY2014 were $6.9 million, compared to $25.0 million for 3Q FY2013. Revenues in the current period include $0.3 million of license and milestone fees, compared to $22.0 million in 3Q FY2013. The prior year fees include $11.1 million of amortization of an upfront license fee received from Novartis in FY2011 that was recognized in 3Q FY2013 with Novartis taking a development and commercialization license in that quarter as well as a $10.5 million milestone payment from Roche earned in 3Q FY2013 with the approval of Kadcyla in the US.
Revenues in 3Q FY2014 also include $2.6 million of royalty payments received from Roche in March 2014 for sales of Kadcyla during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013; the Company had no royalty revenue in 3Q FY2013. Additionally, revenues in 3Q FY2014 include $1.9 million of research and development support fees, compared to $2.3 million in such fees for 3Q FY2013, and $2.1 million of clinical materials revenue, compared to $0.7 million for 3Q FY2013. The amount of research and the number of batches of clinical materials produced and released to partners varies on a quarter-to-quarter basis.
Operating expenses in 3Q FY2014 were $44.3 million, compared to $26.3 million in 3Q FY2013. Operating expenses in 3Q FY2014 include research and development expenses of $38.3 million, compared to $21.3 million in 3Q FY2013. In 3Q 2014, the Company recorded a $12.8 million non-cash charge to research and development expense for technology rights obtained under the collaboration agreement executed with CytomX in January 2014. Also driving the change from the prior period are increased personnel expenses and increased costs associated with manufacturing clinical materials on behalf of our partners. Operating expenses also include general and administrative expenses of $6.0 million in 3Q FY2014, compared to $5.0 million in 3Q FY2013. This increase is primarily due to increased personnel expenses and patent expenses.
ImmunoGen had approximately $164.1 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014, compared with $195.0 million as of June 30, 2013, and had no debt outstanding in either period. Cash used in operations was $34.7 million in the first nine months of FY2014, compared with $48.7 million in the same period in FY2013. Capital expenditures were $4.7 million and $2.4 million for the first nine months of FY2014 and FY2013, respectively.
Updated Financial Guidance for Fiscal Year 2014
ImmunoGen is updating its financial guidance for FY2014 from that issued in January 2014. ImmunoGen now expects:
“We are investing in advancing and expanding our portfolio of compounds designed to make a meaningful difference for patients with cancer,” commented David Johnston, EVP and CFO. “In addition to using partnerships as an important source of non-dilutive capital, we also continue to carefully manage our cash expenses, as reflected in these financial results.”
