2seventy Bio reports Q4 EPS (60c), consensus ($1.61)

Reports Q4 revenue $56.18M vs $16.03M last year. "In our first full year of operations, 2seventy made tremendous strides across all aspects of our business: from advancing early-stage research, building out manufacturing capabilities, initiating clinical studies, and delivering to patients in the commercial setting with Abecma," said Nick Leschly, chief kairos officer. "Bolstered by strong growth in the fourth quarter, we delivered Abecma to hundreds of patients with multiple myeloma in the U.S. and expect continued strong growth in 2023. With our partners at BMS, we continue to develop this product into earlier lines of multiple myeloma treatment on the back of positive data from the KarMMa-3 study and the planned KarMMa-9 study and continue to grow our manufacturing capabilities to support a potential peak sales opportunity of $2-3 billion in the U.S. With our recent financing and the growth of Abecma, we are in a strong position to continue to prudently advance our clinical and preclinical pipeline, driving towards delivering proof-of-concept data this year for our bbT369 and SC-DARIC33 programs and advancement of MUC and MAGE solid tumor programs to IND by the end of the year. I couldn’t be more optimistic for what lies ahead in 2023 and the position we are in today, and that is thanks to the hard work of our employees, the patients and physicians who participate in our studies, and our shareholders who share in our mission to deliver more time to patients with cancer."
