MorphoSys AG Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

Topline data from the Phase 3 MANIFEST-2 study expected in early 2024

Monjuvi® U.S. net product sales of US$ 25.3 million (€ 24.7 million) for the fourth quarter of 2022 and US$ 89.4 million (€ 84.9 million) for the full year of 2022

€ 907.2 million in cash and other financial assets as of December 31, 2022

Conference call and webcast (in English) tomorrow, March 16, 2023, at 1:00pm CET (12:00pm GMT/8:00am EDT)

MorphoSys AG (FSE: MOR; NASDAQ: MOR) reports results for the fourth quarter and the full year 2022.

“2022 was a defining year for MorphoSys. We made advances in our pipeline by progressing our Phase 3 clinical trials, including pelabresib in myelofibrosis and tafasitamab in lymphomas. We also out-licensed highly promising, early and mid-stage product candidates, enabling us to concentrate exclusively on our work in oncology,” said Jean-Paul Kress, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of MorphoSys. “In 2023, we will continue to prioritize the Phase 3 study of pelabresib in myelofibrosis, on our way to sharing topline data in early 2024 and exploring its potential use in other myeloid diseases. We remain steadfast in our commitment to developing and delivering novel therapies that are safer and more effective for cancer patients, and we look forward to the future."

Pelabresib Highlights:

On January 9, 2023, MorphoSys announced that topline data from the ongoing Phase 3 MANIFEST-2 study are expected to be available in early 2024.

MorphoSys presented at ASH 2022 results from analyses of the ongoing MANIFEST study in patients with myelofibrosis. The latest analyses include longer-term data showing durable improvements in both spleen volume and symptom score beyond 24 weeks, with pelabresib plus ruxolitinib in JAK inhibitor-naïve patients.

Monjuvi/Minjuvi® Highlights:

Monjuvi (tafasitamab-cxix) U.S. net product sales of US$ 25.3 million (€ 24.7 million) for the fourth quarter 2022 (Q4 2021: US$ 23.6 million (€ 20.5 million)) and US$ 89.4 million (€ 84.9 million) for the full year of 2022 (2021: US$ 79.1 million (€ 66.9 million)).

Minjuvi royalty revenue of € 0.7 million for sales outside of the U.S. in the fourth quarter 2022 and € 3.0 million for the full year of 2022.

Tafasitamab Data:

At the ASH conference in December 2022, final safety and efficacy results from firstMIND, a Phase 1b, open-label, randomized safety study combining tafasitamab or tafasitamab plus lenalidomide with standard R-CHOP were presented, showing no new safety signals and providing additional information on progression-free survival at 24 months for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with tafasitamab plus lenalidomide and R-CHOP. Two additional analyses also suggested that sensitive assays to detect minimal residual disease have prognostic value at the end of first-line therapy.

Corporate Developments:

On December 6, 2022, MorphoSys’ fully owned subsidiary Constellation Pharmaceuticals, Inc. entered into a global licensing agreement with Novartis to research, develop, and commercialize its preclinical inhibitors of a novel cancer target. Under the terms of the agreement, Novartis will assume full responsibility for all subsequent research, development, and commercialization activities for the program. As part of the agreement, MorphoSys received an immediate upfront payment of US$ 23 million. On achievement of development, regulatory, and commercial milestones, MorphoSys will be eligible to receive milestone payments from Novartis in addition to mid-single to low-double-digit royalties on program net sales.

On December 20, 2022, MorphoSys announced that Sung Lee, the company’s Chief Financial Officer and Management Board member, has decided to leave MorphoSys to move back to California. His last day with MorphoSys will be March 17, 2023.

Significant Events After the End of the Fourth Quarter of 2022:

On March 2, 2023, MorphoSys announced that it will stop work and operations on its pre-clinical research programs to optimize its cost structure. MorphoSys will reduce its workforce at the company’s headquarters in Planegg, Germany, by approximately 17%. This action, along with other steps taken over the past year, enables MorphoSys to focus resources on its mid- to late-stage oncology pipeline.

On March 14, 2023, MorphoSys announced that Lucinda Crabtree, Ph.D., will join as Chief Financial Officer and member of the Management Board. She will start in the third quarter 2023 at the latest.

Charlotte Lohmann was appointed as Chief Legal Officer on March 1, 2023 and will serve as a member of MorphoSys’ Management Board ad interim.

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter of 2022 (IFRS):

Total revenues for the fourth quarter 2022 were € 81.6 million compared to € 52.9 million for the same period in 2021. This increase resulted mainly from higher revenues from the global licensing agreement with Novartis executed in the fourth quarter 2022.

Cost of Sales: In the fourth quarter of 2022, cost of sales was € 15.4 million compared to € 9.5 million for the same period in 2021. The fourth quarter of 2022 includes € 5.1 million of expenses related to activities to optimize the Monjuvi supply chain.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: In the fourth quarter 2022, R&D expenses were € 94.0 million compared to € 87.0 million for the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to clinical trial material expenses in the fourth quarter 2022 partially offset by lower personnel costs.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: Selling expenses in the fourth quarter 2022 were € 23.0 million compared to € 32.5 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was driven by higher investments in 2021 made into the commercial organization, the first full year after the Monjuvi launch. General and administrative (G&A) expenses amounted to € 17.5 million compared to € 18.2 million for the same period in 2021.

Operating Loss: Operating loss amounted to € 68.4 million in the fourth quarter 2022 compared to a loss of € 325.0 million for the same period in 2021. The lower year-over-year operating loss was primarily driven by the impairment of goodwill amounting to € 230.7 million recognized in the fourth quarter 2021.

Consolidated Net Profit / Loss: For the fourth quarter 2022, consolidated net profit was € 329.4 million compared to a net loss of € 381.0 million for the same period in 2021. The consolidated net profit in the fourth quarter 2022 was driven mainly by the recognition of finance income triggered by the reduction in financial liabilities from collaborations.

Financial Results for the Full Year 2022 (IFRS):

Total Revenues for the full year 2022 were € 278.3 million compared to € 179.6 million in 2021. The increase resulted mainly from higher revenues from licenses due to the out-licensing agreements with HI-Bio and Novartis. Royalties in 2022 include € 3.0 million from the sale of Minjuvi outside of the U.S. by our partner Incyte and € 96.9 million from Tremfya® sales which is fully passed on to Royalty Pharma.

Cost of Sales: For the full year 2022, cost of sales were € 48.6 million compared to € 32.2 million in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher sales of Monjuvi in the U.S. and Minjuvi outside of the U.S. and expenses related to activities to optimize the Monjuvi supply chain.

R&D Expenses: For the full year 2022, R&D expenses were € 297.8 million compared to € 225.2 million in 2021. The R&D expenses increased primarily due to higher development activity and the inclusion of expenses from the Constellation acquisition since Q3 2021.

SG&A Expenses: Selling expenses for the full year 2022 were € 92.4 million compared to € 121.5 million in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by higher investments made into the commercial organization in 2021, the first full year after the Monjuvi launch. G&A expenses amounted to € 60.1 million for 2022 compared to € 78.3 million in 2021. The decrease was driven primarily by the transaction costs related to the Constellation and Royalty Pharma agreements in 2021.

Operating Loss: Operating loss amounted to € 220.7 million for the full year 2022 compared to a loss of € 508.3 million in 2021. The lower year-over-year operating loss was primarily driven by the impairment of goodwill amounting to € 230.7 million recognized in 2021.

Consolidated Net Loss: For the full year 2022, consolidated net loss was € 151.1 million compared to a net loss of € 514.5 million in 2021. The lower consolidated net loss in 2022 was driven mainly by the recognition of finance income triggered by the reduction in financial liabilities from collaborations.

Cash and Other Financial Assets: As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash and other financial assets of € 907.2 million compared to € 976.9 million on December 31, 2021.

Number of shares: The number of shares issued totaled 34,231,943 on December 31, 2022, no change compared to December 31, 2021.

2023 Financial Guidance

2023 Guidance Insights

Monjuvi U.S. net product sales

US$ 80m to 95m

100% of Monjuvi U.S. net product sales are recorded on MorphoSys’ income statement and related profit/loss is split 50/50 between MorphoSys and Incyte.

Gross margin for Monjuvi U.S. net product sales

75% to 80%

100% of Monjuvi U.S. product cost of sales are recorded on MorphoSys’ income statement and related profit/loss is split 50/50 between MorphoSys and Incyte.

R&D expenses

€ 290m to 315m

2023 anticipated to be incrementally higher than 2022 due to the expansion of the pelabresib development program.

SG&A expenses

€ 140m to 155m

45% to 50% of mid-point of SG&A expenses represent Monjuvi U.S. selling costs of which 100% are recorded in MorphoSys’ income statement. Incyte reimburses MorphoSys for half of these selling expenses.

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

Operational Outlook:

The following events and development activities planned for 2023 and beyond include the following:

  • full patient enrollment for the pivotal Phase 3 study (MANIFEST-2) of pelabresib in myelofibrosis (MF) in 2023 with topline results anticipated in early 2024;
  • primary analysis data from the Phase 3 study (inMIND) of tafasitamab in patients with indolent lymphoma (r/r FL/MZL) in 2024;
  • primary analysis data from the pivotal Phase 3 study (frontMIND) of tafasitamab in previously untreated DLBCL in the second half of 2025.
