BeiGene's Q2 2024 results demonstrate strong financial performance and significant progress towards profitability. The company reported $929 million in total revenues, a 56% increase year-over-year, primarily driven by BRUKINSA sales growth. Notably, BeiGene achieved non-GAAP operating income of $48.5 million, a significant improvement from the $193 million loss in Q2 2023.

The company's flagship product, BRUKINSA, saw impressive growth with global revenues of $637 million, up 107% year-over-year. This growth, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, indicates strong market penetration and potential for further expansion. The reduced GAAP operating loss and positive non-GAAP operating income suggest BeiGene is effectively managing its expenses while driving revenue growth.

However, investors should note the ongoing R&D and SG&A expenses, which increased by 7% and 12% respectively on a GAAP basis. These investments are important for pipeline development and commercial expansion but may impact short-term profitability.

BeiGene's Q2 2024 results highlight significant advancements in its oncology pipeline, particularly in hematology and solid tumors. The company's lead product, BRUKINSA, is showing strong clinical efficacy and is emerging as a potential BTKi class leader in the U.S. for new patient starts across all approved indications.

Key pipeline developments include:

  • Sonrotoclax (BCL2 inhibitor): Completed enrollment in global Phase 2 trials for R/R mantle cell lymphoma and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia, with promising early data presented at EHA 2024.
  • BGB-16673 (BTK CDAC): Continued enrollment in potentially registration-enabling expansion cohorts for R/R MCL and R/R CLL.
  • Solid tumor pipeline: Multiple readouts expected in 2024 for tislelizumab combinations in lung cancer and advancement of novel candidates like BGB-C354 (B7H3 ADC) and BGB-R046 (IL-15 prodrug).

These developments demonstrate BeiGene's commitment to innovation and potential for long-term growth in the oncology market. However, investors should be aware that clinical trial outcomes and regulatory approvals will be critical for future success.

BeiGene's Q2 2024 results indicate a strong market position and growth trajectory in the global oncology space. The company's flagship product, BRUKINSA, is gaining significant market share, particularly in the U.S. CLL market, where it's becoming a preferred choice for new patient starts. This suggests effective marketing strategies and potential for continued growth.

The company's global expansion efforts are noteworthy:

  • Opening of an $800 million U.S. biologics manufacturing facility and R&D center in New Jersey, enhancing production capabilities and research capacity.
  • Proposed redomiciliation to Switzerland, potentially improving access to European markets and talent.
  • Strong growth in European markets, with BRUKINSA sales increasing by 209%.

These strategic moves position BeiGene to compete more effectively with established global pharma companies. However, the company faces challenges in an increasingly competitive oncology market, particularly as it expands into solid tumors. Investors should monitor BeiGene's ability to maintain its growth rate and successfully launch new products in the coming years.

  • Generated total revenues of $929 million, an increase of 56% from the prior-year period; reduced GAAP operating loss and achieved non-GAAP operating income
  • Strengthened hematology leadership with global BRUKINSA revenues of $637 million, an increase of 107% from the prior-year period; advanced pivotal programs for BCL2 inhibitor sonrotoclax and BTK-targeted degrader BGB-16673
  • Advanced innovative solid tumor pipeline of more than 15 investigational molecules, including ADCs, multispecific antibodies, and targeted therapies for lung, breast, and gastrointestinal cancers
  • Strengthened global presence with opening of $800 million, 42-acre flagship U.S. biologics manufacturing facility and clinical R&D center in New Jersey and proposal to redomicile from Cayman Islands to Switzerland, an innovative biotech ecosystem for life sciences leaders and institutions

“This was a tremendous second quarter and an inflection point as BeiGene achieved positive non-GAAP operating income with rapidly increasing global revenues and continued financial discipline. Having now reached this milestone, we will further build on our differentiated, strategic capabilities as a leading, global oncology innovator,” said John V. Oyler, Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO of BeiGene. “BRUKINSA is emerging as the BTKi class leader in the U.S. in new patient starts across all approved indications, demonstrating the strength of its clinical efficacy and safety data, and is the only BTKi to demonstrate superior efficacy versus ibrutinib in a head-to-head trial. With our leadership in hematology, we are working to expand into other highly prevalent cancer types, backed by one of the largest oncology research teams in the industry. With our continued growth in established biopharmaceutical hubs such as New Jersey and Switzerland, we are better positioned to reach even more patients with our innovative medicines.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $929 million, compared to $595 million in the same period of 2023, driven primarily by growth in BRUKINSA product sales in the U.S. and Europe of 114% and 209% respectively.

Product Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was $921 million, compared to $554 million in the same period of 2023, representing an increase of 66%. The increase in product revenue was primarily attributable to increased sales of BRUKINSA. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the U.S. was the Company’s largest market, with product revenue of $479 million, compared to $224 million in the prior year period. In addition to BRUKINSA revenue growth, product revenues were positively impacted by sales of in-licensed products from Amgen in China and tislelizumab.

Gross Margin as a percentage of global product revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was 85%, compared to 83% in the prior-year period. The gross margin percentage increased primarily due to proportionally higher sales mix of global BRUKINSA compared to other products in the portfolio.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses increased for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior-year period on both a GAAP and adjusted basis primarily due to advancing preclinical programs into the clinic and early clinical programs into late stage. Upfront fees and milestone payments related to in-process R&D for in-licensed assets totaled $12 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to nil in the prior-year period.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses increased for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the prior-year period on both a GAAP and adjusted basis due to continued investment in the global commercial launch of BRUKINSA, primarily in the U.S. and Europe. SG&A expenses as a percentage of product sales were 48% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 71% in the prior year period.

Income (Loss) from Operations in the second quarter of 2024 operating loss decreased 66% on a GAAP basis. On an adjusted basis, we achieved operating income of $48 million. The decrease in GAAP operating loss and achievement of profitability on an adjusted basis is a key strategic goal and the result of tremendous efforts to drive growth while maintaining investment discipline.

GAAP Net Loss improved for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior-year period, as our product revenue growth and management of expenses is driving increased operating leverage.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, net loss per share were $(0.09) and $(1.15) per American Depositary Share (ADS), compared to $(0.28) per share and $(3.64) per ADS in the prior year period.

Cash Used in Operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, totaled $96 million compared to $294 million in the prior-year period, driven by improved operating leverage.

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

BeiGene provides certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Operating Expenses and Adjusted Operating Loss and certain other non-GAAP income statement line items, each of which include adjustments to GAAP figures. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information on BeiGene’s operating performance. Adjustments to BeiGene’s GAAP figures exclude, as applicable, non-cash items such as share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization. Certain other special items or substantive events may also be included in the non-GAAP adjustments periodically when their magnitude is significant within the periods incurred. BeiGene maintains an established non-GAAP policy that guides the determination of what costs will be excluded in non-GAAP financial measures and the related protocols, controls and approval with respect to the use of such measures. BeiGene believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with the GAAP figures, can enhance an overall understanding of BeiGene’s operating performance. The non-GAAP financial measures are included with the intent of providing investors with a more complete understanding of the Company’s historical and expected financial results and trends and to facilitate comparisons between periods and with respect to projected information. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are among the indicators BeiGene’s management uses for planning and forecasting purposes and measuring the Company’s performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
