Key Points

Positve
  • PEDMARK delivered net revenues of $7.3 million in Q2 2024, representing a 120% increase compared to the same quarter in 2023.
  • The company has successfully managed the reimbursement process with major health plans such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, United, and Caremark.
  • Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc (FENC) has expanded its sales force activities into community centers treating the AYA population, which is expected to drive future growth.
  • The partnership with Norgine to commercialize PEDMARQSI in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand is progressing well, with a targeted launch in late Q4 2024.
  • The NCCN recently updated their AYA guidelines for PEDMARK, allowing access to a broader patient population, which is expected to drive increased adoption.
Negative
  • G&A expenses increased to $6.9 million in Q2 2024, up from $5.5 million in the same quarter of 2023, largely due to pre-commercialization efforts for the European launch.
  • Selling and marketing expenses rose to $4.6 million in Q2 2024, compared to $2.4 million in the same quarter of 2023, driven by higher payroll and increased marketing expenses.
  • The pediatric business showed a modest sequential decline, indicating potential challenges in maintaining growth in this segment.
  • The company is still addressing the issue of compounding, which poses a challenge to the adoption of PEDMARK in the pediatric market.
  • Cash and cash equivalents decreased to approximately $43 million as of June 30, 2024, due to sales and marketing expenses and EU-related costs, including those associated with the Norgine transaction.
