Y-mAbs Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Y-mAbs”) (Nasdaq:
YMAB), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the
development and commercialization of novel radioimmunotherapy and
antibody-based therapeutic products for the treatment of cancer,
today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June
30, 2024.
“We demonstrated commercial progress with DANYELZA in the second
quarter of this year while continuing to advance our development
pipeline,” said Mike Rossi, President and Chief Executive Officer.
“Our dedicated U.S. sales team with deep neuroblastoma expertise
continues to penetrate new centers with DANYELZA, a leading
anti-GD2 therapy, added to two more hospital formularies in the
second quarter of 2024, while our ex-U.S. distribution partners
have gained traction in our Eastern Asia and Latin America markets.
Additionally, we remain focused on advancing our novel
Self-Assembly DisAssembly (“SADA”) Pretargeted Radioimmunotherapy
(“PRIT”) technology platform and continue to evaluate potential
expansion of indications for naxitamab in our mission of delivering
better and safer therapies to patients. Looking ahead, we are on
track to complete Part A of our GD2-SADA Phase 1 clinical trial in
the fourth quarter of this year with a data readout to follow and
are on track to dose the first patient in our CD38-SADA Phase 1 in
Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma trial in the second half of this year.”

Financial Results
Revenues
Total net product revenues were $22.8 million and $42.2 million
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2024, which
represented an increase of 10% and 3%, respectively, over $20.8
million and $41.0 million in the comparable periods of 2023.
DANYELZA total net product revenues of $22.8 million in the
second quarter of 2024, represented a 10% increase compared to the
second quarter of 2023, primarily driven by increased international
revenues. Y-mAbs’ international DANYELZA net product revenues were
$7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase
of 55% over $4.9 million in the comparable period in 2023. The
increase of net product revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2024,
compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2023, was a result of
increased volume from Western Europe, as well as the commercial
launch for Brazil and Mexico in Latin America. U.S. DANYELZA net
product revenues were $15.2 million and $15.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing a
4% decline driven by a volume decrease due to the launch of
competing therapy in another class of agents and some ongoing
clinical trial activities.
The Company’s total net product revenue was $42.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $41.0 million in
the comparable period in 2023. The 3% increase was primarily driven
by a $1.2 million increase in the U.S. DANYELZA net product revenue
in the six months ended June 30, 2024, while international net
product revenue was relatively flat.
As of June 30, 2024, Y-mAbs has delivered DANYELZA to 65
centers across the U.S. since initial launch, with two new accounts
added in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2024. During the quarter
ended June 30, 2024, approximately 67% of the vials sold in
the U.S. were sold outside of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer
Center (“MSK”), compared to 60% in the first quarter ended
March 31, 2024.
The Company did not have license revenue for the quarters ended
June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company had license revenues of $0.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from our
distribution partner, Adium, related to our acceptance of the price
for DANYELZA in Brazil from the Brazilian Medicines Market
Regulation Chamber. There was no license revenue recorded for the
six months ended June 30, 2023.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $3.0 million and $4.6 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cost of
goods sold was $5.1 million and $6.7 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company defines
gross margin as net product revenues less cost of goods sold
divided by net product revenues. Our gross margins increased in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the
comparable periods in 2023, due to a favorable gross profit mix
from lower vial volumes from our international regions.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses were $12.3 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2024, and relatively flat compared to
$12.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. For the six
months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, research and development
expenses were relatively flat at $25.6 million and $25.5 million,
respectively.
Selling, General, and Administration
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $17.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which was a $5.9 million
increase compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended June
30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to a net impact
of $3.6 million related to the Company’s settlement of a
shareholder class-action lawsuit, which is the net impact of the
Company’s $19.7 million accrued legal settlement, less the
corresponding insurance recovery of $16.1 million and an additional
legal settlement of $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30,
2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, selling, general, and
administrative expenses were $28.7 million, an increase of $5.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was
primarily attributable to a net impact of $3.8 million related to
the Company’s two legal settlements, as noted above.
Interest and Other Income
Interest and other income were $0.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2024, as compared to $1.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease of $0.5 million was
primarily due to a $0.2 million gain from repayment of a secured
promissory note in the three months ended June 30, 2023, and a $0.2
million increase in foreign currency transaction losses. The
Company did not have the repayment of a secured promissory note in
the three months ended June 30, 2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the interest
and other income was $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
The decrease of $1.1 million was primarily due to a $0.8 million
increase in foreign currency transaction losses related to the
remeasurement of foreign currency denominated assets and
liabilities.
Net Loss
Y-mAbs reported a net loss for the three months ended June 30,
2024, of $9.2 million, or ($0.21) per basic and diluted share,
compared to net loss of $6.3 million, or ($0.14) per basic and
diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2023. For the
six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported a net loss of
$15.9 million, or ($0.36) per basic and diluted share, as compared
to net loss of $12.7 million, or ($0.29) per basic and diluted
share, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in net
loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily
driven by the net $3.8 million in charges related to the Company’s
two legal settlements, as described above.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2024, Y-mAbs had approximately $77.8 million
in cash and cash equivalents which, together with anticipated
DANYELZA product revenues, is expected to support operations as
currently planned into 2027. This estimate reflects the Company’s
current business plan that is supported by assumptions that may
prove to be inaccurate. Cash utilized in the first half year of
2024 was $0.8 million, which was favorable to internal company
forecasts.
2024 Financial Guidance
Management updates its full year 2024 guidance:
- Anticipated Total Net Revenues now expected to be between $87
million and $95 million;
- Anticipated Operating Expenses expected to remain between $115
million and $120 million;
- Anticipated Total Annual Cash Burn expected to remain between
$15 million and $20 million; and
- Cash and Cash Equivalents anticipated to continue to support
