Insights

Financial Analyst

Sangamo's Q2 2024 results reveal a mixed financial picture. The company reported a net loss of $36.1 million, significantly lower than the $114.5 million loss in Q2 2023. However, revenues dropped to just $0.3 million from $6.8 million last year, primarily due to terminated collaborations.

The cash position of $27.8 million as of June 30, 2024, is concerning, but the $50 million expected from Genentech provides a important lifeline. This deal, along with potential milestone payments of up to $1.9 billion, could significantly improve Sangamo's financial outlook.

The company's cost-cutting efforts are evident, with non-GAAP operating expenses decreasing to $31.9 million from $68.1 million year-over-year. However, investors should monitor the cash burn rate closely, as current funds are only expected to last until Q1 2025.

Medical Research Analyst

Sangamo's clinical progress is noteworthy, particularly in Hemophilia A and Fabry disease. The positive Phase 3 AFFINE trial results for giroctocogene fitelparvovec in Hemophilia A, developed with Pfizer, are promising. The therapy demonstrated superiority in reducing annualized bleeding rates, with 84% of participants maintaining Factor VIII activity above 5% at 15 months post-infusion.

The Fabry disease program also shows promise, with 17 out of 18 patients withdrawn from enzyme replacement therapy. Preliminary data suggesting improved kidney function is particularly encouraging. However, it's important to see more comprehensive data to fully assess the therapy's potential.

The advancement of neurology-focused programs, including the Nav1.7 program for chronic neuropathic pain and the prion disease program, demonstrates Sangamo's commitment to expanding its pipeline. The STAC-BBB capsid technology could be a game-changer for CNS drug delivery if its promising preclinical results translate to humans.

Business Development Expert

Sangamo's recent business development activities are pivotal for its future. The Genentech deal is a significant win, potentially bringing in $50 million in near-term payments and up to $1.9 billion in milestones. This validates Sangamo's epigenetic regulation and STAC-BBB capsid delivery platforms, potentially attracting more partners.

The ongoing discussions for potential collaborations in Fabry disease, zinc finger neurology programs and STAC-BBB technology could further bolster Sangamo's position. The company's focus on neurology and gene therapy aligns with current industry trends.

The MINT platform presents an intriguing opportunity for both internal development and partnerships, including in agricultural biotech. However, investors should note that while these deals and technologies show promise, they're still in early stages and face significant development and regulatory hurdles before potentially generating substantial revenue.

Announced global epigenetic regulation and capsid delivery license agreement with Genentech to develop novel genomic medicines for neurodegenerative diseases. Expect to receive $50 million in near-term upfront license fees and milestone payments and eligible to earn up to $1.9 billion in milestone payments, plus tiered royalties on net sales.

Reported Pfizer’s announcement of positive topline results from Phase 3 AFFINE trial evaluating giroctocogene fitelparvovec, an investigational Hemophilia A gene therapy that Sangamo is co-developing with and licensing to Pfizer.

Continue to amass encouraging safety and efficacy data from the Phase 1/2 STAAR study of isaralgagene civaparvovec for Fabry disease, including preliminary evidence of improved kidney function and withdrawal from enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) by seventeen of eighteen patients.

Announced data demonstrating progression of neurology-focused preclinical pipeline, including additional data from novel delivery capsid, STAC™-BBB, that demonstrated industry-leading blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration in non-human primates (NHPs) following intravenous administration.

RICHMOND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SGMO), a genomic medicine company, today reported business highlights and second quarter 2024 financial results.

“Sangamo has demonstrated important progress over the last few months, with the announcement of a significant business development agreement with Genentech earlier today; positive topline results from the Phase 3 AFFINE trial in Hemophilia A we are developing with Pfizer; and highly encouraging Phase 1/2 data continuing to accumulate from our wholly-owned Fabry disease program – all of which have the potential to meaningfully extend our cash runway as we continue to advance our wholly owned neurology epigenetic regulation pipeline,” said Sandy Macrae, Chief Executive Officer of Sangamo. “Our license agreement with Genentech – the first in what we hope could be multiple capsid collaborations to come with other potential partners – reinforces the potential of our gene editing and STAC-BBB capsid delivery platforms. Our core, and highly focused, neurology pipeline continues to advance as planned and we look forward to providing further updates.”

Non-GAAP operating expenses		$	31.9			$	68.1			$	75.5			$	137.6

Total operating expenses on a GAAP basis for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $37.4 million compared to $130.4 million for the same period in 2023. Non-GAAP operating expenses, which exclude impairment charges, depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation expense as shown in the reconciliation table above, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024 were $31.9 million, compared to $68.1 million for the same period in 2023.

The decrease in total operating expenses on a non-GAAP basis was primarily attributable to lower compensation and other personnel costs mainly due to lower headcount as a result of restructuring of operations and a corresponding reductions in workforce announced during 2023, a decrease due to restructuring expenses recorded in the second quarter of 2023 related to a reduction in workforce announced in April 2023, a decrease in preclinical and clinical expenses due to termination of collaboration agreements, and deferral and reprioritization of certain research and development programs, a decrease in external professional services, and a decrease in facilities and infrastructure related expenses. These decreases were partially offset by an increase relating to a terminated manufacturing-related supplier arrangement for costs that will be incurred without economic benefit to Sangamo.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 were $27.8 million, compared to cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $81.0 million as of December 31, 2023. On August 2, 2024, we entered into a global epigenetic regulation and capsid delivery license agreement with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, under which we expect to receive an aggregate of $50.0 million in near-term upfront license fees and milestone payments. We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024, in combination with the $50.0 million in expected near-term license fees and milestone payments from Genentech, will be sufficient to fund our planned operations into the first quarter of 2025.

Financial Guidance for 2024

• On a GAAP basis, we expect total operating expenses in the range of approximately $150 million to $170 million in 2024, which includes non-cash stock-based compensation expense, impairment expense, and depreciation and amortization.
• We expect non-GAAP total operating expenses, excluding estimated non-cash stock-based compensation expense of approximately $13 million, impairment expense of approximately $6 million, and depreciation and amortization of approximately $7 million, in the range of approximately $125 million to $145 million in 2024.
