WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Incyte (Nasdaq:INCY) today reports 2024 third quarter financial results, and provides a status update on the Company’s clinical development portfolio.
"In the third quarter of 2024, we delivered significant achievements, including strong revenue growth for both Jakafi® (ruxolitinib) and Opzelura® (ruxolitinib) cream, and the advancement of our clinical pipeline highlighted by the submission to the FDA of the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for ruxolitinib cream in pediatric atopic dermatitis and several key data readouts including CDK2i, retifanlimab, tafasitamab, povorcitinib and ruxolitinib cream, which all hold near to mid-term launch potential. Additionally, in August, the FDA approved Niktimvo™ (axatilimab-csfr) for patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease, after failure of two prior lines of therapy, making it the first anti-CSF-1R antibody approved to target the inflammation and fibrosis associated with chronic GVHD," said Hervé Hoppenot, Chief Executive Officer, Incyte. “We are on track to achieve over ten impactful launches by 2030.”
Key Recent Company Updates
- In October, the sNDA submission for ruxolitinib cream in pediatric atopic dermatitis was filed with the FDA with approval anticipated in the second half of 2025.
- In October, Opzelura was granted a Notice of Compliance by Health Canada for the topical treatment of both mild to moderate atopic dermatitis and nonsegmental vitiligo in patients 12 years of age and older.
-
In September, Incyte presented late-breaking Phase 3 results for retifanlimab (Zynyz®) and initial data from the Phase 1 CDK2 inhibitor program at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress.
- Featured during the Presidential Symposium, the Phase 3 POD1UM-303/InterAACT2 trial for retifanlimab met the primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS) and demonstrated improvement across secondary endpoints in patients with squamous cell anal carcinoma (SCAC) receiving retifanlimab in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin-paclitaxel). Incyte plans to file a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for retifanlimab in SCAC by the end of 2024. A potential approval in 2025 could represent the first PD-(L)1 antibody for patients with SCAC.
- Phase 1 data of INCB123667, a highly selective and potentially first-in-class CDK2 inhibitor, were presented demonstrating single-agent antitumor activity across a range of doses and regimens, notably in patients with ovarian cancer and endometrial cancer whose tumors overexpress Cyclin E1. The Phase 1 trial of INCB123667 in combination with other agents is ongoing. Incyte plans to initiate a pivotal trial in ovarian cancer in 2025.
- In August, Incyte and its partner Syndax announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Niktimvo, 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 adult and pediatric patients. Niktimvo is the first approved anti-CSF-1R antibody targeting the drivers of inflammation and fibrosis seen in chronic GVHD. In September, Incyte and Syndax announced the New England Journal of Medicine publication of data from the pivotal AGAVE-201 trial of Niktimvo in chronic GVHD and the addition of Niktimvo to the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for the treatment of chronic GVHD.
- In August, Incyte announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 clinical study evaluating tafasitamab (Monjuvi®) in relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL). The pivotal Phase 3 inMIND trial met the primary endpoint of PFS by investigator assessment in FL. The trial also met key secondary endpoints. No new safety signals with tafasitamab were observed. The full dataset is anticipated to be presented at an upcoming medical meeting in 2024 and Incyte expects to file an sBLA for tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab in FL by the end of 2024.
Jakafi:
Net product revenues for the third quarter 2024 of $741 million (+16% Y/Y):

2024 Third Quarter Financial Results
The financial measures presented in this press release for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

1 Non-GAAP cost of product revenues excludes the amortization of licensed intellectual property for Iclusig relating to the acquisition of the European business of ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the cost of stock-based compensation.
|
Cost of product revenues GAAP and Non-GAAP cost of product revenues for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 43% and 48%, and 21% and 23%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to growth in net product revenues, increased royalty expense and increased manufacturing related costs.
Research and development expenses GAAP and Non-GAAP research and development expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased 53% and 51%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to the $100.0 million milestone payment made to MacroGenics during the third quarter of 2024 and continued investment in our late stage development assets. Excluding upfront and milestone payments and Escient severance payments, research and development expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased 26% compared to the same period in 2023 due to continued investment in our late stage development assets, additional expenses resulting from the Escient acquisition, and timing of certain expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, excluding upfront and milestone payments and the Escient acquisition related compensation expense and severance payments, research and development expense increased 15% compared to the same period in 2023 due to continued investment in our late stage development assets, additional expenses resulting from the Escient acquisition, and timing of certain expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses GAAP and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 increased 15% compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to timing of consumer marketing activities and of certain other expenses.
GAAP and Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 6% and 2%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to $22.0 million of Escient acquisition related compensation expense including severance payments and timing of consumer marketing activities and of certain other expenses. Excluding the Escient acquisition related compensation expense and severance payments, selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 3% compared to the same period in 2023.
Other Financial Information
Change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration The change in fair value of contingent consideration during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates impacting future revenue projections of Iclusig.
Operating income GAAP and Non-GAAP operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased 32% and 7%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023, driven primarily by the $100.0 million milestone payment made to MacroGenics during the third quarter of 2024. Excluding upfront and milestone payments and Escient severance payments, operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased 14% compared to the same period in 2023 primarily driven by growth in net product revenue.
GAAP and Non-GAAP operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased 155% and 94%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023, driven primarily by the $679.4 million of expense relating to the IPR&D assets acquired in the Escient acquisition, $36.3 million of Escient acquisition related compensation expense and severance payments, and the $100.0 million milestone payment made to MacroGenics during the third quarter of 2024. Excluding upfront and milestone payments and the Escient acquisition related compensation expense and severance payments, operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased 29% compared to the same period in 2023 primarily driven by growth in net product revenue.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities position As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $1.8 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities during 2024 was driven primarily by the $2.0 billion share repurchase completed during June 2024, and the total cash consideration paid to Escient shareholders of $783 million, partially offset by proceeds of sales of equity investments during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
