Key Points

Positve
  • Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd (XSWX:BSLN) reported a strong financial performance for 2024, with a tripling of operating profit and a fivefold increase in operating cash flow compared to 2023.
  • The company's key product, Crescemba, saw a 20% increase in global in-market sales, contributing to a 30% year-on-year increase in related revenue.
  • Basilea secured significant non-diluted funding for research and development projects, including a $268 million agreement with BADA.
  • The FDA approved Zetera in the US for a broad range of indications, and Basilea announced a partnership with Aviva Specialty Therapeutics for its commercialization.
  • Basilea expanded its portfolio by acquiring a pre-clinical stage antibiotic program targeting gram-negative bacteria and initiated phase 3 studies for its antifungal phosphoogeics.
Negative
  • Despite strong sales, Crescemba's market exclusivity is set to expire in 2028, which could lead to generic erosion and a decline in sales.
  • The company decided not to pursue the development of the endolysin antibioticstenabbicase after pre-clinical evaluation, indicating potential setbacks in their pipeline.
  • There is a temporary expected decrease in product revenue due to a decrease in product supply to Pfizer.
  • Basilea anticipates a 14% increase in R&D expenses in 2025, which could impact profitability despite non-diluted funding.
  • The company faces challenges in accelerating phase 3 enrollment for its antifungal programs, which could delay product launches.
