Galapagos FIRST LOOK: Jyseleca sale to shift focus towards future growth

Galapagos and Alfasigma announced the signing of a letter of intent for the transfer of the Jyseleca business to Alfasigma including the EU and UK marketing authorisations and approx. 400 positions for €50m upfront and milestones of up to €120m as well as mid-single to mid-double digit royalties. We see the planned transfer of the Jyseleca business (expected in 1Q24) as a positive outcome on multiple fronts, freeing up resources and allowing Galapagos to solely focus on area of future growth. We plan to adjust our model in a future update, but for now we reiterate our Accumulate rating and €55 TP.
