Incyte Reports 2024 First Quarter Financial Results and Provides Updates on Key Clinical Programs

Total revenues of $881 million in the first quarter (Q1'24) (+9% Y/Y)

Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) net product revenues of $572 million in Q1'24, total paid patients increased +5% Y/Y; reiterating full year 2024 guidance of $2,690 - $2,750 million

Opzelura® (ruxolitinib) net product revenues of $86 million (+52% Y/Y) in Q1'24; continued uptake in atopic dermatitis (AD) and vitiligo

Incyte to acquire Escient Pharmaceuticals and its pipeline of first-in-class oral MRGPR antagonists with the potential to treat multiple mast cell-mediated diseases

Conference Call and Webcast Scheduled Today at 8:00 a.m. ET

Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today reports 2024 first quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s clinical development portfolio.

"In the first quarter of 2024, total revenues grew 9% year-over-year driven by patient demand growth in the U.S. for Opzelura® (ruxolitinib) cream and Jakafi® (ruxolitinib). As anticipated, the revenue growth during the quarter was offset by an inventory drawdown for Jakafi and the typical first quarter net pricing dynamics," said Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. "We made important progress with our clinical pipeline including the initiation of two Phase 1 studies evaluating our JAK2V617F inhibitor and KRASG12D inhibitor. We also recently announced an agreement to acquire Escient Pharmaceuticals, pending the appropriate regulatory review process. Escient's lead compound EP262, is a first-in-class, potent, highly selective, once-daily small molecule designed to block mast cell activation, independent from IgE. We believe this novel mechanism has broad clinical utility in a number of conditions including chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU) and other diseases."

Key First Quarter 2024 Company Updates

  • In February 2024, Incyte announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for Priority Review the Biologics License Application (BLA) for axatilimab, an anti-CSF-1R antibody, for the treatment of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy.
  • In February 2024, Incyte entered into an asset purchase agreement with MorphoSys AG which gave Incyte exclusive global rights for tafasitamab, a humanized Fc-modified CD19-targeting immunotherapy marketed in the U.S. as Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) and outside of the U.S. as Minjuvi® (tafasitamab).
  • In March 2024, multiple abstracts featuring data from Incyte's dermatology portfolio were presented at the 2024 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting, including two late-breaking oral presentations for ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and povorcitinib in prurigo nodularis (PN).
  • In April 2024, Incyte and China Medical System Holdings Limited announced the Companies entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement, through a wholly-owned dermatology medical aesthetic subsidiary CMS Skinhealth, for the development and commercialization of povorcitinib, a selective oral JAK1 inhibitor, in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries.
  • In April 2024, Incyte and Escient Pharmaceuticals, a clinical-stage drug development company advancing novel small molecule therapeutics for systemic immune and neuro-immune disorders, entered into a definitive agreement under which Incyte has agreed to acquire Escient and its clinical development portfolio, including EP262, a first-in-class, potent, highly selective, once-daily small molecule antagonist of Mas-related G protein-coupled receptor (MRGPRX2) and EP547, a first-in-class oral MRGPRX4 antagonist. Under the terms of the agreement, Incyte will acquire Escient and its assets for $750 million plus Escient’s net cash remaining at the close of the transaction, subject to customary adjustments. The acquisition is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, among other customary conditions, and will become effective promptly following the satisfaction or waiver of these conditions.

Jakafi:

Net product revenues for the first quarter 2024 of $572 million (-1% Y/Y):

  • Total paid patients increased 5% in the first quarter of 2024 versus the same quarter in the prior year, with growth across all indications and leading to the highest quarterly paid patient demand for Jakafi since launch.
  • Patients on free drug in the fourth quarter of 2023 gradually returned to paid demand during the first quarter of 2024; as a result, the percent of patients on free drug returned to more normalized levels during the first quarter of 2024.
  • Channel inventory at the end of the first quarter of 2024 decreased by approximately $55 million versus the fourth quarter of 2023.

Opzelura:

Net product revenues for the first quarter 2024 of $86 million (+52% Y/Y):

  • Net product revenues growth in the first quarter of 2024 were driven by patient demand, refills and expansion in payer coverage as the launch in atopic dermatitis (AD) and vitiligo continues.
  • Net product revenues of $6 million in the first quarter of 2024 in Europe where the launch is ongoing in Germany, Austria and initial uptake has begun in France.

Additional Pipeline Updates

Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs) and Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) – key highlights

  • Combination trials of ruxolitinib twice daily (BID) with zilurgisertib (INCB000928) and BETi (INCB057643) are ongoing and continue to enroll. A Phase 3 study for BETi is anticipated to initiate in the second half of 2024 and clinical proof-of-concept for zilurgisertib is anticipated by mid-2024.
  • The Phase 1 studies evaluating INCA033989 (mCALR) and INCB100658 (JAK2V617F) are ongoing and enrolling patients.

Other Hematology/Oncology – key highlights

  • In January 2024, Incyte highlighted promising early clinical efficacy data for its selective small molecule inhibitor of CDK2 (INCB123667), which demonstrated its potential use as monotherapy or combination therapy for late-stage cancers. In a Phase 1 study of INCB123667, early clinical activity was observed with several partial responses (PR) achieved in patients with amplification/over expression of CCNE1, a cell cycle regulator and potential predictive biomarker. Tumor shrinkage was observed across multiple tumor types, including CCNE1+ patients with ovarian cancer. The safety profile of INCB123667 aligns with the mechanism of action. Additional data is expected to be presented in 2024.
  • In April 2024, Incyte presented new preclinical data at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024 highlighting its KRASG12D inhibitor (INCB161734). INCB161734 is a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable KRAS G12D inhibitor which is efficacious against KRAS G12D mutant tumors in preclinical models. The potential benefit of INCB161734 for patients with KRAS G12D mutant disease is under investigation in an ongoing Phase 1 study. The KRASG12D mutation is found in 40% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients, 15% of colorectal cancer patients, and 5% of non-small cell lung cancer patients and with no approved G12D-targeting agents, represents a significant medical need.

2024 First Quarter Financial Results

The financial measures presented in this press release for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), unless otherwise identified as a Non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that Non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with Incyte’s GAAP disclosures. Management uses such information internally and externally for establishing budgets, operating goals and financial planning purposes. These metrics are also used to manage the Company’s business and monitor performance. The Company adjusts, where appropriate, for expenses in order to reflect the Company’s core operations. The Company believes these adjustments are useful to investors by providing an enhanced understanding of the financial performance of the Company’s core operations. The metrics have been adopted to align the Company with disclosures provided by industry peers.

Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used in conjunction with and to supplement Incyte’s operating results as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP measures may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in our industry.

As changes in exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, Management believes the presentation of certain revenue results on a constant currency basis in addition to reported results helps improve investors’ ability to understand its operating results and evaluate its performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period. The Company calculates constant currency by calculating current year results using prior year foreign currency exchange rates and generally refers to such amounts calculated on a constant currency basis as excluding the impact of foreign exchange or being on a constant currency basis. These results should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP. Results on a constant currency basis, as the Company presents them, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not measures of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

In Japan, Pemazyre is approved for the treatment of patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer (BTC) with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion gene, worsening after cancer chemotherapy.

In Europe, Pemazyre is approved for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusion or rearrangement that have progressed after at least one prior line of systemic therapy.

Pemazyre is a potent, selective, oral inhibitor of FGFR isoforms 1, 2 and 3 which, in preclinical studies, has demonstrated selective pharmacologic activity against cancer cells with FGFR alterations.

Pemazyre is marketed by Incyte in the United States, Europe and Japan.
