Galapagos Model update

Galapagos began 2024 with the completion of the transfer of the Jyseleca business to Alfasigma for € 50m upfront, € 120m in milestones and mid-single to mid-double digit royalties. This is expected to result in cost savings for Galapagos, and the company guides for FY24 cash burn of € 280-320m, coming in lower vs. FY23's € 415m. We update our model post FY23, replacing Jyseleca sales with royalties and milestones, and adjust our OPEX estimates to reflect the anticipated cost savings, landing at a new TP of € 50 (from € 55). We continue to believe in the potential of the Cocoon to expand CAR-T access, but are also keen to see an acceleration on the M&A front (e.g. mid stage assets) now that the Jyseleca chapter is behind. For now, we reiterate our Accumulate rating.
