Insights

Recursion's Q2 2024 results reveal a mixed financial picture. Revenue increased to $14.4 million, up from $11 million in Q2 2023, primarily due to the Roche partnership. However, net loss widened to $97.5 million from $76.7 million year-over-year. The company's cash position remains strong at $474.3 million, bolstered by a recent $230 million public offering.

The proposed merger with Exscientia is a game-changer, potentially creating a powerhouse in AI-driven drug discovery. The combined entity would have a diverse clinical pipeline, significant partnerships with pharma giants and estimated annual synergies of $100 million. This move could accelerate Recursion's path to profitability and enhance its competitive position in the TechBio space.

Recursion's strategic moves in Q2 2024 position it as a frontrunner in the TechBio sector. The Exscientia merger would create a full-stack, technology-enabled drug discovery platform, potentially revolutionizing the industry. With 10 clinical readouts expected in the next 18 months and partnerships with major pharma companies, the combined entity could significantly accelerate drug development timelines.

The $30 million payment from Roche for the first neuroscience phenomap option validates Recursion's platform. The company's investment in supercomputing (BioHive-2) and whole-genome transcriptomics mapping demonstrates its commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI-driven drug discovery. These advancements could lead to more efficient and cost-effective drug development, potentially disrupting traditional pharma R&D models.

Recursion's clinical pipeline shows promising progress across multiple indications. The upcoming readouts for CCM (REC-994) in September 2024 and NF2 (REC-2282) in Q4 2024 are critical milestones that could validate the company's AI-driven approach to drug discovery. The diverse pipeline spanning rare diseases, oncology and infectious diseases demonstrates the platform's versatility.

The potential combination with Exscientia would further strengthen the clinical portfolio, particularly in oncology. With no overlap in clinical indications and complementary approaches (first-in-class vs. best-in-class), the merged entity could have a higher probability of clinical success. The expected 10 clinical readouts in the next 18 months provide multiple catalysts that could significantly impact the company's valuation and attract further partnership opportunities.

  • Recursion entered into a definitive agreement to combine with Exscientia to add its technology-enabled clinical pipeline, sector-leading partnerships, and precision chemistry capabilities
  • Recursion expects 7 clinical trial readouts for itself over the next 18 months and approximately 10 clinical readouts collectively over the same time period as part of a combined company with Exscientia
  • The first neuroscience phenomap under Recursion’s collaboration with Roche and Genentech has been optioned, triggering a $30 million payment and highlighting Recursion’s ability to deliver on success-based mapping and data options

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Recursion (Nasdaq: RXRX), a leading clinical stage TechBio company decoding biology to industrialize drug discovery, today reported business updates and financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

“Our mission at Recursion is to decode biology to radically improve lives. We are leading the industry by integrating technology to map and navigate biology and chemistry to achieve this ambitious aim,” said Chris Gibson, Ph.D., Co-founder and CEO of Recursion. “Today, with the announcement of our proposed combination with Exscientia, we leap closer to our vision of a full-stack technology-enabled small molecule discovery platform that we are confident has the potential to meaningfully improve the efficiency of drug discovery in the coming decade. The culmination of this vision, which we will build together with the team from Exscientia, will be the broader availability of high quality medicines and lower prices for consumers.”

The proposed business combination with Exscientia provides deep complementarity on many levels.

  • Recursion will augment its scaled biology exploration and translational capabilities with Exscientia’s demonstrated precision chemistry tools and capabilities, including its newly commissioned automated small molecule synthesis platform. Once integrated, the updated and evolved Recursion OS will enable the discovery and translation of higher quality medicines more efficiently and at a higher scale.
  • The proposed combination augments Recursion’s first-in-class focused pipeline spanning rare disease, precision oncology, and infectious diseases with Exscientia’s best-in-class focused precision oncology pipeline, giving the proposed combination the potential to read out approximately 10 clinical trials in the next 18 months. Importantly, there is no overlap in the clinical indications being pursued by the two companies.
  • The proposed business combination will execute significant therapeutic discovery collaborations with prominent biopharma companies, including Roche-Genentech, Sanofi, Bayer, and Merck KGaA. The combined deals have the potential for more than $20 billion in milestones before royalties on net-sales of partnership programs which range from mid single-digit to double-digit royalties over the course of the partnership.

Chris Gibson, Ph.D., Co-founder and CEO of Recursion went on to say, “Additionally, we are thrilled that our first neuroscience phenomap has been optioned under our collaboration with Roche and Genentech. We believe that this industry-first milestone showcases Recursion’s scientific approach to mapping and navigating biology as well as our ability to deliver value to our partners.”

Combo Pipeline

Strategic Rationale for Recursion-Exscientia Combination

  • Pipeline: We believe that a combination with Exscientia would create a diverse portfolio of clinical and near-clinical programs (approximately 10 clinical readouts in the next 18 months) where most of these programs, if successful, could have annual peak sales opportunities in excess of $1 billion. In addition to Recursion’s internal pipeline, Exscientia has wholly-owned oncology programs associated with targets CDK7 (clinical), LSD1, and MALT1 as well as partnered programs associated with targets PKC-Theta (clinical) and ENPP1. Across the combined pipeline there is no competitive overlap, with Recursion’s pipeline focusing on first-in-class drug candidates within oncology, rare disease, and infectious disease and Exscientia’s focus on best-in-class drug candidates within oncology. Additionally, for both companies there are many research and discovery stage pipeline programs that would benefit from the complementary combination of the two platforms.
  • Partnerships: The proposed business combination would bring together transformational partnerships with leading large pharma companies with a total of 10 programs already optioned across oncology and immunology. In addition to Recursion’s transformational partnerships with Roche-Genentech (neuroscience and a gastrointestinal oncology indication) and Bayer (undruggable oncology), Exscientia has partnerships with Sanofi (immunology and oncology) and Merck KGaA (oncology and immunology). In addition, Exscientia has a partnership with BMS (oncology and immunology) where an optioned program related to PKC-Theta has already shown positive early Phase 1 results. Furthermore, the combined company expects potential additional milestone payments of approximately $200 million over the next 2 years from its current partnerships.
  • Platform: We believe that a combination with Exscientia will help enable a full-stack technology-enabled platform spanning patient-centric target discovery, structure based drug design including hotspot analysis, quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics modeling, 2D and 3D generative AI design, encode and automate design-make-test-learn cycles with active learning, automated chemical synthesis, predictive ADMET and translation, biomarker selection, clinical development, and more. Furthermore, Exscientia’s automated chemistry design and synthesis capabilities are expected to allow Recursion to more rapidly and effectively run SAR cycles during hit to lead and lead optimization, generating the diverse chemistry to experimentally improve the generalizability of our predictive maps of biology and chemistry.
  • Business Synergies: Together, Recursion and Exscientia held approximately $850 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of Q2 2024. The combined company is expected to have estimated annual synergies of approximately $100 million and the combined business is expected to have a cash runway extending into 2027.
  • Cultural Synergies: Recursion and Exscientia have been defining and leading the inclusion of technology within the life sciences for over 10 years. There is a shared vision to leverage technology to discover and develop high quality medicines efficiently and at scale.
  • Transaction Details: Exscientia shareholders will receive 0.7729 shares of Recursion Class A common stock for each Exscientia ordinary share, with fractional shares paid in cash. Recursion shareholders will own approximately 74% of the combined company. Exscientia shareholders will own approximately 26% of the combined company assuming no additional issuance by either company before closing. Recursion will be the go-forward entity. Recursion Co-Founder & CEO Chris Gibson, Ph.D., will be CEO of the combined company. Exscientia Interim CEO David Hallett, Ph.D., plans to join the combined company as Chief Scientific Officer. We expect this transaction to complete by early 2025.

Summary of Recursion Business Highlights

  • Partnerships
    • Roche and Genentech: The goal of the collaboration is to use unimodal and multiomics maps in order to discover and develop potential therapeutic treatments for up to 40 programs in neuroscience and a single indication in gastrointestinal oncology. This recent mapping effort supports the discovery and development of therapeutic programs in neuroscience which is a disease domain characterized by few treatment options and a need for novel biological targets. Recursion and Genentech collaborated to adapt a hiPSC-derived neuronal cell model for map building, and since 2022, Recursion has built cell manufacturing technologies and produced over 1 trillion hiPSC-derived neuronal cells to enable this effort. We are also building additional maps in other neural cell contexts that will further investigate genome scale genetic and diverse chemical perturbations for use under the collaboration.
    • Bayer: We continue to advance efforts to discover potential new therapeutics against undruggable oncology targets with Bayer. In June 2024, we announced that the parties have selected the first project under this partnership. In addition, we gave guidance that we expect to complete the delivery of up to 25 multi-modal data packages to Bayer by the end of Q3 2024 to support further project nominations. Moreover, we announced that Bayer would be the first beta-user of LOWE (Recursion’s LLM-Orchestrated Workflow Engine) which will be integrated across the collaboration and offer a more exploratory and comprehensive research environment for scientists from both sides of the partnership to interact with data, models, analyses, and visualizations pertaining to the drug discovery scope of the collaboration.
  • Pipeline
    • Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM) (REC-994): Our Phase 2 SYCAMORE clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, study of two doses of REC-994 in participants with CCM. The primary endpoint of the study is safety and tolerability. Secondary and exploratory endpoints, including clinician measured outcomes, imaging of CCM lesions, patient reported outcomes, and selected biomarkers, will be evaluated. Since fully enrolling in June 2023, the vast majority of participants who completed 12 months of treatment have entered the long-term extension study. We expect to share Phase 2 data in September 2024.
    • Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) (REC-2282): Our adaptive Phase 2/3 POPLAR clinical trial is an open label, two part study of REC-2282 in participants with progressive NF2-mutated meningiomas. Part 1 of the study explores two doses of REC-2282 in adult and pediatric participants. Enrollment of adult patients in Part 1 of the study is complete (n=24). We expect to share preliminary safety and efficacy results from the adult cohort in Q4 2024.
    • APC or AXIN1 Mutant Cancers (REC-4881): Our Phase 2 LILAC clinical trial is an open label, multicenter study of REC-4881 in participants with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic cancer with AXIN1 or APC mutations. We expect to share Phase 2 safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy data in H1 2025
    • Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) (REC-4881): Our Phase 1b/2 TUPELO clinical trial is an open label, multicenter, two part study of REC-4881 in participants with FAP. Part 1 is complete and enrollment in Part 2 has commenced. We expect to share Phase 2 safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy data in H1 2025.
    • Clostridioides difficile Infection (REC-3964): Full Phase 1 data from our healthy volunteers study was presented at the World Congress on Infectious Diseases in Paris in June 2024. Our Phase 2 ALDER clinical trial is an open-label, multicenter randomized study designed to evaluate rates of recurrence with REC-3964 at two doses compared with an observational cohort after patients have achieved initial cure with vancomycin. We expect to initiate a Phase 2 study in patients at high risk for C. difficile infection recurrence in Q4 2024 with a preliminary readout expected by the end of 2025.
    • Advanced HR-Proficient Cancers, Target RBM39 (REC-1245): RBM39 is a novel CDK12-adjacent target identified by the Recursion OS. REC-1245 will be evaluated for the potential treatment of advanced HR-proficient cancers such as ovarian, prostate, breast, and pancreatic cancers. We expect to submit an IND in Q3 2024 and anticipate initiating a monotherapy Phase 1/2 open label study of REC-1245 in participants with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic cancer in Q4 2024. Phase 1 data from the dose-escalation portion of the study is expected by the end of 2025.
    • Undisclosed Indication in Fibrosis, Target Epsilon: This program originated under our initial fibrosis collaboration with Bayer. We have since in-licensed all rights to this program from Bayer. We are advancing our lead candidate through IND-enabling studies with IND submission expected in early 2025 with a Phase 1 healthy volunteer readout by the end of 2025.
  • Platform
    • BioHive-2 Supercomputer and Pipeline Growth: We operationalized and benchmarked BioHive-2, our next generation supercomputer that we designed and built with our partner NVIDIA. According to the TOP500 List from June 2024, BioHive-2 is ranked the 35th most powerful supercomputer in the world across any industry. Our computational resources paired with LLM-driven tools and causal models built using multimodal patient data from Tempus has resulted in the first programs already entering the early-stage of our internal pipeline.
    • Whole-Genome Transcriptomics Map: In June 2024, we announced completing the first version of a genome-scale transcriptomics CRISPR knockout map in HUVEC cells. With our computational resources and the generation and curation of scaled and relatable multiomics datasets, we are developing multiomics foundation models.
