Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: HALO) is a biopharmaceutical company headquartered in San Diego, CA, focused on developing and commercializing innovative oncology therapies. The company's core mission is to enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments by targeting the tumor microenvironment, particularly through its lead investigational drug, pegph20. This drug aims to improve the penetration of co-administered cancer therapies into solid tumors, potentially making existing treatments more effective.
Halozyme's proprietary ENHANZE® drug delivery technology platform has garnered significant attention and partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies such as Roche, Pfizer, Janssen, Baxalta, AbbVie, and Lilly. This technology facilitates the subcutaneous administration of biologics and small molecule compounds that are traditionally delivered intravenously, potentially allowing for quicker and more convenient therapy delivery.
The company has built a strong foundation of value-driving partnerships and continues to innovate in drug-device combination products using advanced auto-injector technology to improve patient convenience, comfort, and adherence. Halozyme's commercial portfolio includes proprietary products like Hylenex® and XYOSTED®, and ongoing product development in partnership with pharmaceutical companies such as Teva Pharmaceuticals and Idorsia Pharmaceuticals.
Recent achievements highlight Halozyme’s growth and innovation. Notably, the U.S. FDA approved Takeda’s HYQVIA®, co-formulated with ENHANZE®, for the maintenance therapy of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), underscoring the potential of Halozyme’s technology to enhance treatment efficacy. Another milestone includes the Japanese Ministry of Health's approval of argenx's VYVDURA® for generalized myasthenia gravis, demonstrating global expansion and acceptance of ENHANZE®-enabled treatments.
Financially, Halozyme continues to show robust growth. The company reported strong revenue and earnings growth in the first quarter of 2024, reaffirming its positive financial guidance for the year. Halozyme also announced a new $750 million share repurchase program, indicating confidence in sustained growth.
Halozyme's efforts in maintaining an extensive patent portfolio, including the recent grant of European Patent No. 4269578 for its ENHANZE® rHuPH20 product, further solidify its market position and prospects for long-term revenue durability. The company's strategic collaborations and commitment to innovative patient solutions make it a significant player in the biopharmaceutical industry.

Halozyme expects to have over $800 million in cash by year-end 2024, maintaining a 15-20%+ revenue CAGR through 2023-2028 and achieving 45-50% adjusted EBITDA margin by 2026.
