Insights

BeiGene's Q4 and FY2024 results showcase exceptional growth with total revenues surging 78% to $1.1 billion for Q4 and 55% to $3.8 billion for the full year. This performance significantly outpaces the broader oncology sector's typical growth rate of 15-20%, positioning BeiGene among the fastest-growing mid-cap oncology companies.

BRUKINSA continues to be the primary growth catalyst, with revenues doubling year-over-year to $828 million in Q4 and $2.6 billion for the full year. The drug has captured market leadership in new CLL patient starts in the U.S., demonstrating successful commercial execution against entrenched competitors. The patent settlement with MSN Pharmaceuticals secures market exclusivity until at least 2037, effectively removing a significant long-term risk factor and providing over a decade of protected revenue potential.

Gross margin expansion to 85.6% in Q4 (from 83.2% in Q4 2023) reflects both favorable product mix and operational efficiency gains, despite absorbing $16 million in accelerated depreciation expenses. This margin profile now rivals best-in-class specialty pharma companies and creates substantial operating leverage as the company scales.

The company's 2025 guidance of $4.9-$5.3 billion in revenue implies 29-39% year-over-year growth and anticipated positive GAAP operating income represents a critical inflection point in BeiGene's financial trajectory. This transition from growth-at-all-costs to profitable growth should trigger a revaluation of the company's multiple as it joins the ranks of sustainable biopharma businesses.

The pipeline progression, with 13 new molecular entities entering the clinic in 2024 and multiple potential catalysts in 2025, provides significant optionality beyond the core BRUKINSA franchise. The company's strategic pivot toward building solid tumor franchises in breast, lung, and gastrointestinal cancers represents a substantial market expansion opportunity that could drive the next wave of growth as the hematology portfolio matures.

BeiGene's clinical portfolio demonstrates remarkable breadth and strategic focus on mechanistically differentiated approaches across both hematologic and solid tumors. BRUKINSA's commercial success stems from its pharmacokinetic advantages that enable complete and sustained BTK inhibition with minimal off-target effects, resulting in superior tolerability while maintaining efficacy. This has translated to real-world leadership in new CLL patient starts and provides a strong foundation for combination approaches.

Their hematology pipeline shows particular promise with sonrotoclax, a BCL2 inhibitor designed to overcome the limitations of venetoclax. The ASH data revealed not only absence of progression in treatment-naïve CLL patients when combined with BRUKINSA, but also encouraging complete response rates without the tumor lysis syndrome concerns that complicate venetoclax administration. This potentially eliminates the need for complex dose ramp-up protocols that burden both patients and healthcare systems.

The BTK CDAC (BGB-16673) represents a fundamentally different approach to BTK inhibition through protein degradation rather than just enzymatic inhibition. This mechanism can potentially overcome the C481S and other mutations that drive resistance to covalent BTK inhibitors while also addressing the gatekeeper mutations that limit noncovalent inhibitors like pirtobrutinib. The planned head-to-head trial against pirtobrutinib will be particularly informative.

In solid tumors, BeiGene is strategically focusing on three key areas with significant unmet needs. Their lung cancer approach with the EGFR CDAC (BG-60366) targets a fundamental limitation of current EGFR inhibitors by completely abolishing EGFR signaling rather than just inhibiting kinase activity, potentially addressing both on-target and bypass resistance mechanisms. The combination of PRMT5 inhibition (BGB-58067) with MAT2A inhibition (BG-89894) exploits synthetic lethality in MTAP-deleted tumors, which represent approximately 15% of all human cancers.

Their breast cancer strategy with selective CDK4 inhibition (BGB-43395) aims to maintain efficacy while reducing the neutropenia associated with dual CDK4/6 inhibition, potentially enabling more effective combinations with endocrine therapy. The B7H4 ADC program targets a highly tumor-selective antigen with minimal normal tissue expression, potentially offering a wider therapeutic window than current ADC approaches.

  • Total global revenues of $1.1 billion and $3.8 billion for the fourth quarter and full year, increases of 78% and 55%, respectively; narrowed GAAP operating loss and achieved full-year positive non-GAAP operating income
  • Global BRUKINSA revenues of $828 million and $2.6 billion for the fourth quarter and full year, increases of 100% and 105%, respectively; progressed pivotal-stage programs for BCL2 inhibitor sonrotoclax and BTK CDAC BGB-16673
  • Advanced six and 13 New Molecular Entities (NMEs) into the clinic in the fourth quarter and full year, respectively; anticipate multiple data readouts for innovative solid tumor programs in 1H 2025
  • Full year 2025 revenue guidance of $4.9 billion to $5.3 billion, reaffirm anticipated positive GAAP operating income and cash flow generation from operations in 2025

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BeiGene, Ltd. (NASDAQ: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company that intends to change its name to BeOne Medicines Ltd., today announced financial results and corporate updates from the fourth quarter and full year 2024.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights

Revenue for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 was $1.1 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, compared to $634 million and $2.5 billion in the prior-year periods driven primarily by growth in BRUKINSA product sales in the U.S. and Europe.

Product Revenue totaled $1.1 billion and $3.8 billion for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively, compared to $631 million and $2.2 billion in the prior-year periods. The increase in product revenue was primarily attributable to increased sales of BRUKINSA. For the quarter and full year 2024, the U.S. was the Company’s largest market, with product revenue of $616 million and $2.0 billion, respectively, compared to $313 million and $946 million, respectively, in the prior-year periods. U.S. sales were also positively impacted in the fourth quarter of 2024 by seasonality and the timing of customer order patterns of approximately $30 million. In addition to BRUKINSA revenue growth, product revenues were positively impacted by growth from in-licensed products from Amgen and tislelizumab.

Gross Margin as a percentage of global product sales for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 was 85.6% and 84.3%, respectively, compared to 83.2% and 82.7% in the prior-year periods on a GAAP basis. The gross margin percentage increased in both the quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year periods due to a proportionally higher sales mix of global BRUKINSA compared to other products in our portfolio, partially offset by the impact of accelerated depreciation expense of $16 million and $33 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 resulting from the move to more efficient, larger scale production lines for tislelizumab. On an adjusted basis, which does not include the accelerated depreciation, gross margin as a percentage of product sales increased to 87.4% and 85.5% for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively, compared to 83.7% and 83.2%, respectively, in the prior-year periods.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses increased for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 compared to the prior-year periods 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 $63 million and $114 million in the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively, compared to $31.8 million and $46.8 million in the prior-year periods.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses increased for the fourth quarter and full year 2024 compared to the prior-year periods 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 45% and 48% for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively, compared to 66% and 69% in the prior-year periods.

Net Loss

GAAP net loss improved for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, as compared to the prior-year periods, primarily attributable to reduced operating losses.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, net loss per share was $0.11 per share and $1.43 per American Depositary Share (ADS), compared to $0.27 per share and $3.53 per ADS in the prior-year period. Net loss for full year 2024 was $0.47 per share and $6.12 per ADS, compared to $0.65 per share and $8.45 per ADS in the prior-year period.

Cash Provided by Operations for the fourth quarter 2024 was $75 million, an increase of $297 million over the prior-year period. For full year 2024, cash used in operations was $141 million, a decrease of $1.0 billion from the prior-year period. The improvement in operating cash flows in the period was primarily driven by improved GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP operating income.

Full Year 2025 Guidance

BeiGene’s financial guidance is summarized below:

 

FY 20251

Total Revenue

$4.9 billion to $5.3 billion

GAAP Operating Expenses (R&D and SG&A)

$4.1 billion to $4.4 billion

 

 

Additional:

GAAP Gross Margin Percentage in mid-80% range

 

Positive Full Year GAAP Operating Income

 

 

Generation of Positive Cash Flow from Operations

 

1 Does not assume any potential new, material business development activity or unusual/non-recurring items. Assumes January 31, 2025 foreign exchange rates.

BeiGene’s total revenue guidance for full year 2025 of $4.9 billion to $5.3 billion includes expectations for strong revenue growth driven by BRUKINSA’s U.S. leadership position and continued global expansion in both Europe and other important rest of world markets. Gross margin percentage is expected to be in the mid-80% range due to mix and production efficiencies as compared to 2024. BeiGene’s guidance for combined operating expenses on a GAAP basis includes expectations of investment to support growth in both commercial and research at a pace that continues to deliver meaningful operating leverage. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which exclude costs related to share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expense, are expected to track with GAAP operating expenses, with reconciling items unchanged from existing practice. Operating expense guidance does not assume any potential new, material business development activity or unusual/non-recurring items.

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.
