Key Points

Positve
  • Basilea Pharmaceutica Ltd (BPMUF) reported a strong financial performance for the first half of 2025, with a positive operating result of CHF 24 million.
  • The company's leading commercial product, Procemba, saw a 24.8% increase in global in-market sales, contributing to a 21.7% year-on-year increase in royalty income.
  • Basilea secured an additional $39 million in non-dilutive funding from BAA to support the development of its antifungal candidates.
  • The company successfully launched its antibiotic Zayra in the US through a partnership with Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics.
  • Basilea expanded its portfolio by in-licensing ceftibutin deaborbactam, a phase 3 ready novel oral antibiotic for complicated urinary tract infections.
Negative
  • The net profit for the first half of 2025 decreased to CHF 15.8 million from CHF 20.7 million in the first half of 2024, due to a one-time income tax benefit in the previous year.
  • The company anticipates a 17% reduction in product revenue to about CHF 48 million year-on-year due to a decrease in product supply to Pfizer.
  • R&D expenses are projected to rise to CHF 105 million, driven by the in-licensing transaction and associated costs.
  • The phase 3 program for the newly in-licensed antibiotic is expected to start in approximately 18 months, which may delay potential revenue contributions.
  • Currency fluctuations, particularly the devaluation of the US dollar against the Swiss franc, impacted financial results.
