RPTP, Raptor Pharmaceutical: let’s go Raptors!

Lasciate che vi dica una cosa, se io avessi una compagnia farmaceutica tutta mia, le darei un nome fichissimo, non roba da mammolette come si fa di solito! Roba tipo Mangusta Sciences, Eliminator Therapeutics o BungaBunga Biopharma. Ci sono ditte con nomi apprezzabili...

Alleggerire Array ( ARRY )…

In ottica ASCO, visto che comunque già ha reso abbastanza, direi che oggi alleggerisco la mia posizione. ARRY rimane una grande opportunità, con un potenziale elevatissimo, non ci sono dubbi al riguardo. Non ce ne sono, per me, ovvio… Non le mollo tutte,...

During the first quarter, the Company shipped $25.1 million of Jakafi to its specialty pharmacies.

The Company currently uses the sell-through method for product revenue recognition, which means revenue is deferred until the specialty pharmacy ships product to the patient. For the first quarter of 2012, $21.2 million of product was delivered to patients and recognized as gross revenue. The gross to net adjustment for product revenue recognized was approximately $1.9 million, resulting in net product revenue of $19.3 million for the first quarter.

The Company’s cumulative net product deferred revenue as of March 31, 2012, was $6.0 million.

Rajesh C. Shrotriya, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & President.

Thank you, Shiv, and good morning, everyone. These are exciting time to the Spectrum. Today we announced a planned acquisition of Allos Therapeutics. This represents an important and exciting opportunity for both of our companies. There are four critical takeaways for our investors.

Number one, this is a good deal for shareholders of both companies. The deal brings immediate diversification from a revenue-generating cancer drugs and is expected to be rapidly accretive to EPS in fourth quarter of this year.

Number two, there is unique synergy in a combination of Allos and Spectrum, FOLOTYN is prescribed by the same target physicians as ZEVALIN, while FUSILEV maybe helpful in reducing toxicity of FOLOTYN.

Number three, we believe FOLOTYN’s potential extends beyond PTCL. Remember, it is an improved methotrexate analog. And methotrexate is used to treat a variety of both liquid and solid tumors, such as breast cancer, acute lymphocytic leukemia and others.

Number four, in keeping with our philosophy of strong fiscal discipline, we don’t anticipate issuing even a single share of our stock to complete this transaction and that’s very important to us. I will now cover these points in greater depth. This acquisition further diversifies the Spectrum’s product revenue with an FDA approved novel anticancer drug, FOLOTYN, which is prescribed by the same physicians who prescribe ZEVALIN.
