ImmunoGen Inc. (Nasdaq: IMGN), a leader in the expanding field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer, today reviewed recent progress in the business and reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

“2021 was a productive year for ImmunoGen, highlighted by positive pivotal data for our lead program, advances across our earlier-stage portfolio, and further strengthening our balance sheet and management team,” said Mark Enyedy, ImmunoGen’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The top-line SORAYA data provide the opportunity to establish mirvetuximab soravtansine as the new standard of care for patients with FRα-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, and we look forward to presenting detailed results from SORAYA during the plenary session at SGO next month.”

Enyedy continued, “We also formalized our plans to expand mirvetuximab into platinum-sensitive disease as a monotherapy and in combinations to serve a broader population of ovarian cancer patients, presented promising initial data for IMGN632, now known as pivekimab sunirine, in relapsed/refractory AML and frontline BPDCN at ASH, continued dose-escalation for IMGC936, and submitted the IND for IMGN151. Together with the appointment of key leadership positions and an oversubscribed follow-on offering in the fourth quarter, this progress positions us for success in 2022 and beyond. We have an exciting year ahead, with the potential launch of our first product, top-line data for our second pivotal program, advancement of our earlier-stage portfolio, and further building our pipeline and research capabilities.”

RECENT PROGRESS

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Total revenues were $28.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to $85.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and $69.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $132.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in both periods was driven by the recognition of a $60.5 million upfront fee received under the Company’s collaboration agreement with Jazz Pharmaceuticals during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020 and a reduction in non-cash royalty revenue in 2021 due to the completion of the first tranche of payments under the 2015 Kadcyla^® royalties agreement. Partially offsetting these decreases, during the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recognized $14.6 million of the $40.0 million upfront fee previously received pursuant to the Company’s collaboration agreement with Huadong Medicine.

Research and development expenses rose to $49.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to $39.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and $151.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $114.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increases in both periods were driven by greater clinical trial expenses, personnel and temporary staffing costs, external manufacturing costs, and third-party service fees in support of commercial readiness.

General and administrative expenses were $13.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to $9.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and $43.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $38.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increases in both periods were driven by higher professional fees and personnel expenses, including greater non-cash stock compensation expense.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $(37.2) million, or $(0.17) per diluted share, compared to net income of $31.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2020. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $(139.3) million, or $(0.68) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(44.4) million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020.

ImmunoGen had $478.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021, compared with $293.9 million as of December 31, 2020, and had $2.1 million of convertible debt outstanding as of December 31, 2020. There was no convertible debt outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Cash used in operations was $169.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with $78.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, with the prior year benefitting from a $40 million upfront license payment received from Huadong Medicine and lower operating expenses for the year as discussed above. Capital expenditures were $(1.4) million for year ended December 31, 2021, compared with $0.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of equipment in the year ended December 31, 2020.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

For 2022, ImmunoGen expects:

• revenues between $75 million and $85 million;
• operating expenses between $285 million and $295 million; and
• cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022, to be between $245 million and $255 million.

Given the range in timing for potential approval, revenue guidance does not yet include potential product sales from mirvetuximab.

ImmunoGen expects that its current cash, combined with anticipated product and collaboration revenues, will fund operations into 2024.
