Mithra Deep-Diving the Donesta Deal

Yesterday Mithra announced a long-expected commercial deal for its menopause asset Donesta. A regional collaboration was struck with the company's well-known Estelle partner Gedeon Richter (GR) to market Donesta across 90 geographies. We deem Gedeon Richter to be a credible player in the women's health space, however the deal value of € 70m (of which € 55m upfront) seemed more on the light end of our expectations. We issue a new flash note 1) to clarify some of the outstanding questions on the new deal, and 2) to provide updated estimates on various aspects of the Mithra business case.
