Update: Innovation accelerating, but surprising setback

Evotec's EVT Innovate division is rapidly expanding its CureX/TargetX programmes, increasing the number from 14 to 21 during H114. These projects should form the basis of high-value commercial partnerships, and make EVT Innovate the main growth driver for Evotec, with the support of EVT Execute (the core drug discovery division). However, Evotec has just had a surprising setback, with the announcement that Hyperion is halting development of DiaPep277. Our valuation of Evotec is €465m.
