Forward guidance

Enanta is updating its expense guidance at this fiscal year mid-point. Research and development expense is $125 million to $145 million. General and administrative expense is $50 million to $60 million.

Tailwinds

  • Advancing multiple clinical programs through a robust antiviral treatment portfolio aimed at populations at high-risk for serious outcomes from RSV infection.
  • On track to select a KIT inhibitor development candidate in the fourth quarter and plans to move into the clinic shortly thereafter.
  • Plans to expand its presence in immunology and introduce a second program in 2024.
  • Enanta expects that its current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as well as its retained portion of future royalty revenue, will be sufficient to meet the anticipated cash requirements of its existing business and development programs through the third quarter of fiscal 2027.
  • The research and development expense increase reflects the impact of the company’s new immunology programs as well as additional efforts to accelerate the RSV clinical studies.

Headwinds

  • Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $31.2 million.
  • Total operating expenses increased from $49.8 million to $57.2 million.
  • A portion (54.5%) of Enanta’s ongoing royalty revenue from AbbVie’s net sales of MAVYRET®/MAVIRET® is paid to OMERS.
  • General and administrative expense increase is due to additional stock compensation expense and costs associated with pursuing the company’s patent infringement lawsuit.
  • The company announced previously that plans to pursue any future COVID-19 efforts would be in the context of a collaboration.
