Newron Pharmaceuticals - Next up - R&D day

Newron continued to made steady progress in H118. A fuller debrief of pipeline assets including sarizotan (Rett syndrome) and Evenamide (schizophrenia) will take place at the R&D day in NYC, scheduled for 31 October. Royalty income from sales of Xadago (Parkinson’s disease, PD) rose by 54% to €2m, driven mainly by increased sales in the EU and Switzerland. However, the US sales contribution remained small (launched by partner US WorldMeds in H217). In H118 Newron reported an operating loss of €7.6m (vs a profit of €2.3m in H117 due to a €10.3m one-time milestone payment in the period), and revised cash and financial investments of €50.6m at July 2018 should enable funding to key value inflection points in 2020. We value Newron at CHF788m.
