RE: IPF deal $99m upfront7 May 2026 12:10
Dicko80, thanks for the Allenby Research Note; although from 2021, it still contains some salient points/numbers which are still valid IMO eg "Our valuation of NXP002 as a PRECLINICAL asset...gives a risk adjusted VALUATION of NFX of £52.8m".
"NFX is looking to license the asset before Phase I, in which case we would anticipate a global deal value of between $360-450m, in upfront and milestone payments, plus single digit royalties on sales, increasing in value in proportion to the stage of development of the underlying asset"
"The de-risked global value of NXP002 in IPF is £528m, which illustrates its total value potential."
"For simplicity, we look at the value of the asset as if NFX were to market the product, rather than via a licensing deal, to illustrate its worth to potential licensees. Our valuation of NXP002 as a preclinical asset using a 13% WACC gives a risk adjusted valuation of NFX of £52.8m. This assumes that a Phase I ready package for the asset is in place which is being developed over the next 12-18 months, subject to funding"
