GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyย’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
ย•ย•3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rankย•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Business Description

Synageva BioPharma is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company incorporated in 1993. It is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for patients with life-threatening rare diseases and unmet medical needs. The Company has several protein therapeutic in its pipeline, including two enzyme replacement therapies for lysosomal storage disorders and two additional programs for other life-threatening genetic conditions for which there are currently no approved treatments. It has assembled a team with a proven record of bringing orphan therapies to patients. The Company's lead program, SBC-102 is an enzyme replacement therapy for Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) Deficiency, a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD). The product is a recombinant form of the human LAL enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for the metabolism of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides that are delivered to lysosomes by a variety of routes including low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor mediated endocytosis. SBC-102 contains glycan structures that are specifically recognized and internalized by specific receptors into key target cells. In addition to SBC-102, Synageva has several other protein therapeutic programs targeting rare diseases in various stages of preclinical development. These include enzyme replacement therapies for other lysosomal storage disorders as well as programs for rare, life-threatening conditions beyond the lysosomal storage disorders. These protein therapeutic programs were selected based on scientific rationale, unmet medical need, potential to impact disease course and strategic alignment with Synageva's corporate focus. These pipeline programs (SBC-103, SBC-104, SBC-105, and SBC-106) have the potential to offer patients and health care providers effective therapies to treat the rare and devastating diseases targeted by these programs. The Company is currently developing marketing, sales and distribution capabilities to support commercialization for SBC-102. Its current plans for commercialization resources include limited field-based representatives supported by a specialized in-house organization to address the needs and opportunities for the North American, European, Latin American, and Asia Pacific regions. Its potential competitors include large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and specialty pharmaceutical companies, academic institutions, government agencies, and research institutions. The Company is subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the U.S. and other countries.
