Ad hoc: MorphoSys AG Reports Preliminary 2022 Monjuvi U.S. Net Product Sales, Provides 2023 Financial Guidance and Reduces Financial Liability

 

  • Preliminary 2022 Monjuvi U.S. net product sales of US$ 89.4 million (€ 84.9 million)
  • Anticipated 2023 Monjuvi U.S. net product sales in the range of US$ 80 to 95 million
  • Preliminary unaudited financial liability from the collaboration with Incyte of approximately € 220 million which represents a reduction of € 360 million

 

MorphoSys AG (FSE: MOR; NASDAQ: MOR) today reports preliminary Monjuvi® U.S. net product sales for the full year of 2022 and provides its financial guidance for 2023. In this context, MorphoSys reduces its financial liability from the collaboration with Incyte and credits finance income accordingly.

Preliminary Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix) U.S. net product sales are US$ 25.3 million (€ 24.0 million) for the fourth quarter and US$ 89.4 million (€ 84.9 million) for the full year of 2022. Fourth quarter and full year 2022 results will be published on March 15, 2023. For the full year of 2023, MorphoSys expects Monjuvi U.S. net product sales in the range of US$ 80 to 95 million.

As a result of changes in Monjuvi product sales expectations, the balance sheet item “Financial Liabilities from Collaborations” is reduced from € 580 million (balance as of September 30, 2022) to approximately € 220 million (balance as of December 31, 2022; unaudited). Finance income is credited with the difference between the two amounts. The balance in “Financial Liabilities from Collaborations” reflects an accounting view of expected future profits from the net product sales of Monjuvi in the U.S. in relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) owed to our partner Incyte. The reduction in Financial Liabilities from Collaborations has no impact on cash.

Additional information related to 2023 Financial Guidance:

  • Tremfya royalties will continue to be recorded as revenue without any cost of sales in MorphoSys’ income statement. These royalties, however, will not contribute any cash to MorphoSys, as 100% of the royalties will be passed on to Royalty Pharma.
  • MorphoSys anticipates receiving royalties for Minjuvi® sales outside of the U.S.
  • MorphoSys does not anticipate any significant cash-accretive revenues from the achievement of milestones in 2023.
  • MorphoSys anticipates sales of commercial and clinical supply of tafasitamab outside of the U.S. to its partner Incyte. Revenue from this supply is recorded in the “Licenses, milestones and other” category in MorphoSys’ income statement. These sales result in a zero gross profit/margin. As such, MorphoSys does not provide guidance for these sales.
