Everest Medicines (云顶新耀) Pre-IPO - Thoughts on valuation

Everest Medicines is a China-based biotech company with late-stage drug candidates in-licensed from partner pharmaceutical companies and biotechs.

In our previous note, we discussed that the company has experienced biotech investor managers as its top management. Its business model is to in-license drug candidates with unmet demand in China.

We highlight the most interesting drug candidates is TROP-2 targeted Trodelvy which has a broad indication given the prevalent presence of this target in tumor cells. Its innovative antibiotic Xerava was in-vitro more potent than tigecycline but has not demonstrated efficacy in the clinical trial. It only shows non-inferiority to current therapies to cIAI. We think more studies, particularly head-to-head trials against tigecycline, are needed to demonstrate that it is superior to tigecycline. Both Etrasimod and Nefecon have a big indication and unmet demand in China. The company also has strong investor backing, from both global investors and healthcare specialist investors.

In this note, we provide valuation for its key assets and arrive at an rNPV based SOTP of USD 1.15bn for Everest Medicines.
