Update: Varithena slows, but IO strong and Lemtrada leaps
BTG’s close period update saw a revision to its FY16 revenue guidance, targeting sales in the lower half of £410-440m (at $1.61/£). This is based on slower-than-expected Varithena sales, despite a strong performance in the Interventional Oncology (IO) and EkoSonic businesses. We have made a number of changes to our forecasts, and even with a decrease to near-term Varithena sales, our FY16e total revenue has increased owing to upwards revisions to IO and a large increase in Lemtrada royalties. We continue to expect ongoing investment for the future, with our FY16e net profit largely unchanged. Our updated valuation is 895p.BTG is engaged in the business of healthcare which focusing on Interventional Medicine therapies for cancer, severe emphysema, severe bloodclots and varicose veins, and Specialty Pharmaceuticals for acute care uses, and a licensing business.
