Q3 2023 DANYELZA® net product revenues of $20.0 million represents YoY growth of 59%U.S. FDA clearance of IND for CD38-SADA for relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin LymphomaCash and cash equivalents of $86.6 million as of September 30, 2023, with anticipated cash runway extended into 2027Management updates FY 2023 financial guidance by lowering anticipated operating expenses and use of cash The Company will host a conference call on Tuesday, November 14, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. ET NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Y-mAbs”) (Nasdaq: YMAB), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel, antibody-based therapeutic products for the treatment of cancer, today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2023. “We delivered $20 million in DANYELZA® (naxitamab-gqgk) net product sales in the third quarter of 2023, reflecting 59% growth compared to the same period in 2022, as sales continued trending upward since our initial launch,” said Mike Rossi, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our U.S. commercial team has made excellent progress by penetrating more high-volume Children’s Oncology Group (“COG”) sites while our ex-U.S. partners continue to gain further traction with physicians prescribing DANYELZA across Europe and China for relapsed or refractory high-risk neuroblastoma patients.” Mr. Rossi continued, “Supported by a solid financial foundation, we have advanced our novel SADA radioimmunotherapy platform with the continued execution of our Phase 1 GD2-SADA trial and the recent Investigational New Drug (“IND”) clearance of our CD38-SADA program. With existing cash and cash equivalents anticipated to support our business operations as currently planned into 2027, a growing commercial product in DANYELZA, and a differentiated radioimmunotherapy platform in SADA, we believe Y-mAbs is on a path to potentially transform the treatment paradigm for a variety of cancers and improve patients’ lives.” Third Quarter 2023 and Recent Corporate Developments On October 18, 2023, Y-mAbs announced that its Board of Directors appointed Mr. Rossi as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective November 6, 2023. Thomas Gad, who founded Y-mAbs in 2015 and has served as Interim Chief Executive Officer since 2022, has transitioned to the role of Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Business Officer.On October 17, 2023, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared Y-mAbs’ IND for CD38-SADA, marking the second clinical development program utilizing the Company’s novel SADA technology platform.On October 16, 2023, Y-mAbs announced the publication of the study of naxitamab-based chemoimmunotherapy in patients with chemoresistant high-risk neuroblastoma (“HR-NB”) in the journal Cancers. The study investigated the HITS combination in patients with high-risk neuroblastoma who did not respond well to induction therapy. Patients who received HITS immediately after induction had higher response rates (47% vs. 18%) and superior estimated three-year overall survival (85% vs. 29%) compared with those who received the same combination regimen later in the course of treatment. The publication is entitled, “Early Salvage Chemo-Immunotherapy with Irinotecan, Temozolomide and Naxitamab Plus GM-CSF (HITS) for Patients with Primary Refractory High-Risk Neuroblastoma Provide the Best Chance for Long-Term Outcomes.”On October 11, 2023, Y-mAbs showcased three poster presentations, in addition to an online publication, of DANYELZA at the 55th Congress of the International Society of Pediatric Oncology in Ottawa, Canada.On September 28, 2023, Y-mAbs received approval of its Mexican Marketing Authorization Application (“MAA”) by COFEPRIS for DANYELZA, marking the Company’s second approval in Latin American with its distribution partner Adium Pharma S.A. Financial Results Revenues DANYELZA net product revenues were $20.0 million and $61.0 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which represented increases of 59% and 86%, respectively, over $12.5 million and $32.8 million in the comparable periods of 2022. The DANYELZA net product revenues of $20.0 million in the third quarter of 2023, represented a marginal decline compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by modest unevenness in international revenues after a series of inventory stocking orders from the Company’s international partners as reported in recent quarters. As of September 30, 2023, Y-mAbs has delivered DANYELZA to 57 centers across the U.S. since initial launch, with nine new accounts added so far in 2023. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, approximately 63% of the vials sold in the U.S. were sold outside of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (“MSK”), compared to 61% in the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. Y-mAbs reported total revenues of $20.5 million and $61.5 million for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which represented increases of 63% and 82%, respectively, over $12.5 million and $33.8 million in the comparable periods of 2022. Total revenues in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included $0.5 million of license revenue recognized upon the September 2023 achievement of marketing authorization for DANYELZA in Mexico under the Company’s sublicense agreement with Adium. There was no license revenue in the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, and license revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $1.0 million. Operating Costs and Expenses Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold was $2.6 million and $2.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cost of goods sold was $9.3 million and $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in cost of goods sold in both periods was primarily driven by increased product revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and inventory write-downs of $0.4 million and $0.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, partially offset by a $1.2 million charge related to an inventory batch that did not meet the Company’s quality specifications during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Excluding the above inventory charges, the Company’s gross margin decreased slightly in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, due to an increase in ex-U.S. revenues, which were at lower gross margins. Research and Development Research and development expenses were $15.4 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, a reduction of 32% compared to $22.5 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. The $7.1 million decrease was primarily due to decreased spending on deprioritized programs, which resulted in a $5.7 million decrease in outsourced manufacturing, decreased personnel-related costs, inclusive of stock-based compensation, of $2.0 million, a $2.0 million decrease in outsourced research and supplies, and a $0.3 million decrease in clinical trials, partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in milestones and license acquisition costs related to the Company’s SADA License Agreement, as the Company determined that certain time-based clinical milestones within the agreement are probable of achievement based on the availability of necessary data and the assessment of clinical progress in the third quarter of 2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, research and development expenses were $40.8 million, a reduction of 43% compared to $71.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $31.0 million decrease was primarily due to decreased spending on deprioritized programs as described above, resulting in a $17.9 million decrease related to outsourced manufacturing, a $6.8 million decrease in outsourced research and supplies, a $3.1 million decrease in clinical trials and a $4.1 million decrease in personnel-related costs, partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in milestones and license acquisition costs related to the Company’s SADA License Agreement, as the Company determined that certain time-based clinical milestones within the agreement are probable of achievement based on the availability of necessary data and the assessment of clinical progress in the third quarter of 2023. The $2.0 million and $4.1 million decreases in personnel-related costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, were driven by the headcount reduction as part of Company’s restructuring plan announced in January 2023, partially offset by severance charges recognized in conjunction with the restructuring plan. Selling, General, and Administration Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $10.2 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, a reduction of 25% compared to $13.6 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. The $3.4 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to a $1.9 million decrease in commercialization expenses, incurred in 2022 in anticipation of the potential omburtamab launch. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, selling, general, and administrative expenses were $33.7 million, a reduction of 33% compared to $50.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The $16.4 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to a $10.9 million charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to contractual severance-related benefits for the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and, to a lesser extent, a $2.9 million decrease in commercialization expenses, incurred in 2022 in anticipation of a potential omburtamab launch. Net Loss Y-mAbs reported a net loss for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023, of $7.7 million, or ($0.18) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $27.5 million, or ($0.63) per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company reported a net loss of $20.4 million, or ($0.47) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $96.7 million, or ($2.21) per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The favorable decrease in net loss was primarily driven by an increase in DANYELZA U.S. and international product revenues in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, decreased research and development cost, and decreased selling, general and administration cost. Cash and Cash Equivalents As of September 30, 2023, Y-mAbs had approximately $86.6 million in cash and cash equivalents which, together with anticipated DANYELZA product revenues, is expected to support operations as currently planned into 2027. This estimate reflects the Company’s current business plan that is supported by assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate, such that Y-mAbs could use its available capital resources sooner than it currently expects. Financial Guidance The Company is updating and reiterating its full-year 2023 financial guidance, as follows: Reiterating anticipated DANYELZA® net product revenues of between $80 million and $85 million;Lowering anticipated operating expenses to between $110 million and $115 million from previous guidance of between $115 million and $120 million;Lowering anticipated total annual cash burn to between $27 million and $32 million from previous guidance of between $40 million and $50 million; andCash and cash equivalents now anticipated to support operations as currently planned into 2027 compared to previous cash runway guidance into 2026.
