Insights

Legend Biotech's Q4 and FY2024 results demonstrate impressive commercial momentum for CARVYKTI, with $334 million in Q4 sales and $963 million for the full year - just shy of the coveted blockbuster status. The 93% year-over-year increase in collaboration revenue ($482.6 million vs $249.8 million) signals strong market uptake, reinforced by treatment of over 5,000 patients to date.

The company's financial trajectory shows marked improvement despite ongoing R&D investments. Legend has successfully diversified revenue streams with $138.4 million in license revenue from the Novartis agreement. Q4 delivered $26.3 million in net income (though heavily influenced by $125.1 million in foreign exchange gains), while the adjusted quarterly loss narrowed to $59.1 million from $88.5 million year-over-year.

With $1.1 billion in cash providing runway into Q2 2026, Legend has sufficient capital to fund operations until projected operating profitability. The expanded manufacturing capacity through Novartis and Spain's reimbursement approval further strengthen CARVYKTI's commercial foundation and address previous manufacturing constraints.

Legend's significant increase in selling and distribution expenses ($147.5 million, up 56.6%) reflects strategic investments in commercial infrastructure to capitalize on CARVYKTI's second-line approval, indicating management's confidence in continued market expansion.

The three-year follow-up data from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 trial provides compelling evidence of CARVYKTI's durable efficacy. The 89% minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate at the stringent 10-5 threshold represents an exceptional response quality in multiple myeloma, where depth of response correlates with progression-free survival.

Most remarkable is the speed of response, with the majority of patients achieving MRD negativity in under two months - significantly faster than conventional therapies that often require multiple treatment cycles. This rapid deep response has profound implications for patient quality of life and healthcare resource utilization.

Spain's reimbursement approval for second-line plus settings is clinically significant as it enables earlier intervention with CARVYKTI when patients are generally healthier and can better tolerate cellular therapy. Moving from late-line to earlier treatment settings represents the established pattern for paradigm-shifting cancer therapies.

The 5,000 patient treatment milestone provides substantial real-world experience that complements clinical trial data. This extensive patient exposure helps clinicians better understand and manage the therapy's safety profile, potentially expanding the addressable patient population by refining patient selection criteria and supportive care protocols.

  • CARVYKTI® net trade sales of approximately $334 million and $963 million for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively
  • Over 5,000 patients treated to date
  • Initiated commercial production of CARVYKTI® at a Novartis production facility
  • Spain's national health system approved reimbursement for CARVYKTI® in second-line plus settings for multiple myeloma patients
  • Cash and cash equivalents, and time deposits of $1.1 billion, as of December 31, 2024, which Legend Biotech believes will provide financial runway into the second quarter of fiscal year 2026

SOMERSET, N.J., March 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Legend Biotech Corporation (NASDAQ: LEGN) (Legend Biotech), a global leader in cell therapy, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, and key corporate highlights.

“We are coming off a tremendously successful year. Our 2024 total revenue nearly achieved blockbuster status, and we are just now building out our many opportunities with CARVYKTI. There are more milestones ahead that will potentially make CARVYKTI available to even more patients,” said Ying Huang, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Legend Biotech. “CARVYKTI has already helped thousands of multiple myeloma patients. Even though CARVYKTI is the market leader for CAR-T in multiple myeloma, we are still working relentlessly to elevate our commercial, manufacturing, regulatory and clinical efforts. While we are focused on executing with excellence for CARVYKTI this year, we continue to prioritize the right investments to enhance our opportunities as a stand-alone cell therapy company for the long term.”

Key Business Developments

  • Treated over 5,000 clinical and commercial patients to date.
  • Announced positive three-year follow-up data from the Phase 3 CARTITUDE-4 study showing that CARVYKTI® increased the minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rates when compared to the standard of care for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. In the study, 89 percent of evaluable patients achieved MRD negativity at the 10-5 threshold, with the majority of patients achieving MRD negativity in less than two months.
  • In the first quarter of 2025, initiated commercial production of CARVYKTI® at a Novartis production facility pursuant to the master manufacturing and supply agreement among Legend, Janssen, and Novartis.
  • Spain's national health system, Sistema Nacional de Salud (“SNS”), approved reimbursement for CARVYKTI® for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least one prior line of treatment, including an immunomodulatory agent and a proteasome inhibitor, have demonstrated disease progression after the last treatment and are refractory to lenalidomide.
  • Cash and cash equivalents, and time deposits of $1.1 billion, as of December 31, 2024, which Legend Biotech believes will provide financial runway into the second quarter of fiscal year 2026, when Legend Biotech anticipates potentially achieving an operating profit excluding unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses.

Financial Results for Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2024

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Time Deposits

As of December 31, 2024, Legend Biotech had approximately $1.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents and time deposits.

Revenue

License Revenue
There was $18.3 million license revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and no license revenue for December 31, 2023. This increase of $18.3 million was primarily driven by the license revenue recognized in 2024 pursuant to Legend Biotech’s license agreement with Novartis for the development, manufacture, and commercialization of LB2102 and other potential CAR-T therapies selectively targeting DLL-3 (the “Novartis License Agreement”), and since the license agreement was effective as of December 28, 2023, no license revenue was recognized in 2023. License revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $138.4 million, compared to $35.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase of $103.2 million was primarily driven by the license revenue recognized in 2024 pursuant to the Novartis License Agreement, as well as the nature and timing of milestones achieved as outlined under the Janssen Agreement for cilta-cel.

Collaboration Revenue
Collaboration revenue for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, was $168.0 million and $482.6 million, respectively, compared to $79.4 million and $249.8 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase of $88.6 million and $232.8 million for the three months and year ended, respectively, was due to an increase in revenue generated from sales of CARVYKTI® in connection with the Janssen Agreement.

Other Revenue
Other revenue for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, was $0.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively, compared to $0.0 million and $0.2 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Other revenue primarily includes payments made in connection with the supply of materials by us to Novartis under the terms of the Novartis License Agreement.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Collaboration Revenue
Cost of collaboration revenue for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, was $69.4 million and $216.4 million, respectively, compared to $32.5 million and $144.2 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase of $36.9 million and $72.2 million for the three months and year ended, respectively, were due to a combination of Legend Biotech’s share of the cost of sales in connection with CARVYKTI® sales under the Janssen Agreement and expenditures to support expansion in manufacturing capacity.

Cost of License and Other Revenue
Cost of license and other revenue for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, was $4.5 million and $18.2 million, respectively, and consisted of costs in connection with the Novartis License Agreement. The Company did not incur any costs of license and other revenue for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, were $104.4 million and $413.5 million, respectively, compared to $105.7 million and $382.2 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase of $31.3 million for the year ended was primarily due to research and development activities in cilta-cel, including start-up costs for clinical production in Belgium, as well as continued investment in our solid tumor programs.

Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, were $34.2 million and $136.8 million, respectively, compared to $28.7 million and $106.8 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase of $5.5 million and $30.0 million for the three months and year ended, respectively, was primarily due to the expansion of administrative functions and the additional headcount needed to provide administrative support as a result of the company's expanded infrastructure, driven by increased manufacturing capacity.

Selling and Distribution Expenses
Selling and distribution expenses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, were $48.9 million and $147.5 million, respectively, compared to $33.7 million and $94.2 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase of $15.2 million and $53.3 million for the three months and year ended, respectively was primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with commercial activities for cilta-cel, including the expansion of the sales force and second line indication launch.

Other Income and Gains
Other income and gains for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, were $125.1 million and $173.1 million, respectively, compared to $18.5 million and $58.1 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The increase of $106.6 million and $115.0 million for the three months and year ended, respectively, were primarily attributable to an increase in unrealized foreign exchange gains related to the changes in the intercompany loan balances and cash balances as a result of exchange rate changes between USD and Euro.

Other Expenses
For the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, there were no expenses, compared to $38.4 million and $28.5 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $38.4 million and $28.5 million for the three months and year ended, respectively, were primarily due to unrealized foreign currency exchange loss related to the changes in the intercompany loan balances and cash balances as a result of exchange rate changes between USD and Euro.

Net income or loss for the Period
For the three months ended December 31, 2024, net income was $26.3 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to a net loss of $144.8 million, or $0.40 per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $171.1 million for the three months ended was primarily attributable to unrealized foreign currency exchange gains due to changes in the intercompany loan balances and cash balances as a result of exchange rate changes between USD and Euro.

RECONCILIATION OF IFRS TO NON-IFRS MEASURES

We use Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share (which we sometimes refer to as “ANI per Share”) as performance metrics. Adjusted Net Loss and ANI per Share are not defined under IFRS, are not a measure of operating income, operating performance, or liquidity presented in accordance with IFRS, and are subject to important limitations. Our use of Adjusted Net Loss has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. For example:

  • Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted Net Loss does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements.
  • Adjusted Net Income (Loss) excludes unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss) which was primarily resulted from changes in the intercompany loan balances and cash balances as a result of exchange rate changes between USD and EURO.
  • Adjusted Net Loss does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs.
  • In addition, Adjusted Net Loss excludes such as share based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy.

Also, our definition of Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share may not be the same as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

However, we believe that providing information concerning Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Net Loss per Share enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We use Adjusted Net Loss as a performance metric that guides management in its operation of and planning for the future of the business. We believe that Adjusted Net Loss provides a useful measure of our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We define Adjusted Net Loss as net loss adjusted for (1) non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, share based compensation, impairment loss and fair value loss of warrant liability and (2) unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss mainly related to intercompany loan balances and cash deposit balances as a result of exchange rate changes between USD and EUR.

Adjusted Net Loss per Share is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Loss by the weighted average shares outstanding.
