Waltham, Mass. – August 2, 2019 – ImmunoGen, Inc., (Nasdaq: IMGN), a leader in the expanding field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer, today reviewed recent progress in the business and reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

 

“In the second quarter, we took important steps towards finalizing the design of the registration study for mirvetuximab soravtansine in folate receptor alpha (FRα)-high platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, prioritizing our portfolio of earlier-stage product candidates, and extending our cash runway with the completion of our operational review,” said Mark Enyedy, ImmunoGen’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Over the back half of the year, we plan to meet with regulators regarding the final design of the registration study for mirvetuximab with the goal of initiating enrollment by the end of year. Additionally, we look forward to presenting the full FORWARD I data and initial FORWARD II triplet data evaluating mirvetuximab in combination with carboplatin and Avastin® (bevacizumab) at ESMO.”

 

Enyedy continued, “In parallel, we have determined a recommended Phase 2 dose and schedule for IMGN632 and filed a protocol to support combination studies, as well as evaluate single-agent safety and efficacy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with minimal residual disease (MRD+) following frontline induction therapy. With the benefit of approximately $240 million on the balance sheet and the completion of our operational review, we are in a strong financial position to execute across our prioritized portfolio.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 were $15.5 million, compared with $9.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Revenues in the second quarter of 2019 included $10.4 million in non-cash royalty revenues, compared with $7.2 million for the second quarter of 2018. License and milestone fees of $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2019 included recognition and receipt of a $5 million milestone pursuant to a license agreement with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, compared to $1.3 million of upfront license fees recognized in the second quarter of 2018. Revenues for the prior year period also included $0.4 million of research and development (R&D) support fees and $0.3 million of clinical materials revenue, compared with $0.1 million of similar fees earned in the current period.

 

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2019 were $56.6 million, compared with $48.0 million for the same quarter in 2018. The increase was driven by a $19.3 million restructuring charge recorded in the current period resulting from the operational changes announced on June 27, 2019, which includes a one-time severance charge, retention costs, and losses recorded on laboratory equipment, compared to a $0.7 million charge recorded in the second quarter of 2018 related to the decommissioning of the Company’s Norwood facility. R&D expenses were $28.6 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared with $38.7 million for the second quarter of 2018. This decrease was primarily due to lower personnel expenses driven by adjustments made in the current quarter to bonus and stock compensation expense as a result of the restructuring of the business, lower clinical trial costs in the current period driven by patient enrollment in the FORWARD I Phase 3 clinical trial during the prior year period, and lower external manufacturing costs. General and administrative expenses were flat at $8.7 million in the second quarter of both 2019 and 2018.

 

ImmunoGen reported a net loss of $43.4 million, or $0.29 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019, compared with a net loss of $41.6 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share, for the same quarter last year. Weighted average shares outstanding increased to 148.1 million from 134.4 million in those quarters.

 

ImmunoGen had $239.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2019, compared with $262.3 million as of December 31, 2018, and had $2.1 million of convertible debt outstanding in each period. Cash used in operations was $20.8 million for the first six months of 2019, compared with cash used in operations of $85.3 million for the same period in 2018. The current period benefited from $65.2 million of net proceeds generated from the sale of the Company’s residual rights to Kadcyla® (ado-trastuzumab emtasine) royalties in January 2019. Capital expenditures were $2.4 million and $2.1 million for the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Following the completion of its operational review in June 2019, ImmunoGen has updated its financial guidance for 2019 as follows:

 

 

ImmunoGen expects that its current cash, together with expense reductions resulting from the operational changes previously announced and anticipated cash receipts from partners, will fund operations through the release of top-line results from the upcoming mirvetuximab Phase 3 study in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, which are expected in the first half of 2022.
