Exelixis reports Q2 EPS 85c, consensus 30c

Reports Q2 revenue $637.2M, consensus $465.0M. Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 included net product revenues of $437.6 million, as compared to $409.6 million for the comparable period in 2023. The increase in net product revenues was primarily due to an increase in sales volume and average net selling price. “Exelixis is well positioned for an impactful second half of 2024 as we continue to grow the cabozantinib franchise, execute on our regulatory and development objectives, and advance our next-generation pipeline,” said Michael M. Morrissey, Ph.D., President and CEO, Exelixis. “Cabozantinib’s second quarter commercial performance was strong both in the U.S. and globally, with Ipsen’s success prompting a $150 million milestone payment to Exelixis based on sales over the past four quarters. On the regulatory front, the FDA accepted the sNDA for cabozantinib in advanced NET, granted standard review and assigned a target action date of April 3, 2025. We’re actively preparing for launch and excited at the prospect of bringing this new treatment option to previously treated advanced NET patients with high unmet medical need. At the same time, we are prioritizing our clinical pipeline with plans to initiate a new phase 3 pivotal trial for zanzalintinib in NET, advance phase 1 efforts for XL309 and XB010, and discontinue development of XB002. I’d like to thank the entire Exelixis team for their hard work and contributions toward achieving these important milestones for cabozantinib and advancing our broad, differentiated pipeline of oncology therapeutics to help the patients we serve.”
