Seattle Genetics, Inc. (Nasdaq:SGEN) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019. The company also highlighted ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) commercialization and clinical development accomplishments and progress with its late-stage clinical programs for cancer.
“In the first quarter we achieved an important milestone toward becoming a multi-product oncology company with the announcement of positive topline results from the pivotal trial of enfortumab vedotin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer, and we plan to submit an application for approval to the FDA in 2019,” said Clay Siegall, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Seattle Genetics. “We continue to execute on expanding ADCETRIS use in the two frontline indications, and maintain our 2019 net sales guidance of $610 million to $640 million in the U.S. and Canada. We have also advanced our other late-stage programs, including reaching target enrollment in the HER2CLIMB pivotal trial of tucatinib in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. We expect to report topline results from HER2CLIMB in 2019.”
ADCETRIS and Late-Stage Pipeline Highlights
FIRST QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Revenues: Total revenues in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 increased to $195.2 million, compared to $140.6 million for the same period in 2018. Revenues are comprised of the following three components:
Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses in the first quarter were $158.3 million, compared to $152.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase reflects additional investment in the company’s late-stage pipeline including EV, tucatinib and TV.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses in the first quarter were $80.3 million, compared to $66.2 million in the first quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily attributed to costs to support commercialization efforts related to frontline ADCETRIS indications, the company’s late-stage programs and higher infrastructure costs to support the company’s continued growth.
Non-cash, share-based compensation cost for the first three months of 2019 was $25.7 million, compared to $16.8 million for the same period in 2018.
Net Loss
Net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $13.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $111.7 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2018. Net loss in the first quarter of 2019 included a non-cash net investment gain of $38.1 million associated with Seattle Genetics’ common stock holdings in Immunomedics, which are marked-to-market.
Cash and Investments
As of March 31, 2019, cash and investments were $418.3 million. In addition, the company held stock investments, primarily in Immunomedics common stock, valued at $151.9 million.
