    Webcast presentation tomorrow, 3 November 2023, at 13:00 CET / 8:00 am ET, www.glpg.com

    Mechelen, Belgium; 2 November 2023, 21:01 CET; regulated information – Galapagos NV ((Euronext &, NASDAQ:GLPG) today announced its financial results for the first nine months of 2023, a year-to-date business update and its outlook for the remainder of 2023.

    "We continue to be very encouraged by the safety and efficacy results observed in the ongoing Phase 1/2 studies with our CD19 CAR-T programs, GLPG5201 and GLPG5101, with additional data to be presented at the upcoming ASH conference in December. The new data released today indicate that both CAR-T candidates have the potential to improve survival for patients with a broad range of B-cell malignancies such as rrCLL and rrNHL. Moreover, the data show that our platform for the decentralized production of fresh CAR-T products, close to patients, has the potential to reduce the median vein-to-vein time to only seven days. We look forward to further building our data package following the agreement with Boston-based Landmark Bio, which is a key milestone in the geographical expansion of this unique point-of-care model and the start of clinical development of our CAR-T programs in the U.S.," said Dr. Paul Stoffels1, CEO and Chairman of Galapagos.

    "We made good progress with our small molecules clinical pipeline in immunology and dosed the first patient in the Phase 2 study with our novel, oral, selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor, GLPG3667, in systemic lupus erythematosus. We also continue to prepare for the initiation of our Phase 1b study with CD 19 CAR-T candidate, GLPG5101, in patients with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus," concluded Dr. Paul Stoffels, CEO and Chairman of Galapagos.

    "We ended the third quarter with a solid cash position of €3.8 billion and reiterate our cash burn guidance of €380-€420 million," said Thad Huston, CFO and COO of Galapagos. "Earlier this week, we announced that we completed the strategic evaluation exercise for Jyseleca® and that we signed a letter of intent with Alfasigma for the transfer of the Jyseleca® business. This planned transaction is a major step in our transformation, allowing us to right-size our organization and focus our resources on building an R&D pipeline of transformational medicines, addressing high unmet patient needs."

    (**) Excluding €4.7 million of net accrued interest income.

    Details of the financial results of the first nine months of 2023

    Total net revenues for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 was €448.9 million, compared to €410.2 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2022, and consisted of:

    • Product net salesof Jyseleca®in Europe for the first nine months of 2023 amounting to €82.1 million (€60.5 million in the first nine months of 2022).
      • Collaboration revenuesof €366.8 million for the first nine months of 2023, compared to €349.7 million for the first nine months of 2022.

    Collaboration revenues increased mainly due to revenue recognition related to the collaboration agreement with Gilead for the filgotinib development amounting to €186.0 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to €166.8 million for the same period last year. This increase is primarily driven by a positive catch-up of revenue explained by a decrease in the total estimated remaining costs to complete the filgotinib development. This was a consequence of the topline results from the Phase 3 DIVERSITY trial with filgotinib in CD and our decision not to submit a Marketing Authorization Application in Europe.

    Our deferred income balance on 30 September 2023 includes €1.4 billion allocated to our drug discovery platform that is recognized linearly over the remaining period of our 10-year collaboration, and €0.3 billion allocated to the filgotinib development that is recognized over time until the end of the development period.

    Total operating loss for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 was €19.0 million, compared to total operating loss of €135.1 million for the first nine months ended 30 September 2022.

    • Cost of sales related to Jyseleca® net sales in the first nine months of 2023 amounted to €13.6 million (€7.9 million in the first nine months of 2022).
    • R&D expenditure in the first nine months of 2023 amounted to €312.2 million, compared to €364.1 million for the first nine months of 2022. This decrease was primarily explained by lower personnel costs due to lower bonuses and cost of subscription right plans, lower external outsourcing costs and lower depreciation costs. This decrease in depreciation costs was primarily due to an impairment recorded in the first nine months of 2022 of €26.7 million of previously capitalized upfront fees related to our collaboration with Molecure on the dual chitinase inhibitor OATD-01 (GLPG4716).
    • S&M and G&A expenses amounted to €182.2 million in the first nine months of 2023, compared to €202.7 million in the first nine months of 2022. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel costs and agency deliverables.
    • Other operating income amounted to €40.1 million in the first nine months of 2023, compared to €29.5 million for the same period last year, mainly due to higher grant income.

    Net financial income in the first nine months of 2023 amounted to €86.6 million, compared to net financial income of €127.5 million for the first nine months of 2022.

    • Fair value adjustments and net currency exchange gains in the first nine months of 2023 amounted to €36.2 million, compared to fair value adjustments and net currency exchange gains of €130.9 million for the first nine months of 2022, and were primarily attributable to €33.7 million of positive changes in fair value of current financial investments (compared to 26.0 million for the first nine months of 2022), and €3.5 million of unrealized currency exchange gains on our cash and cash equivalents and current financial investments at amortized cost in U.S. dollars (compared to €102.1 million for the first nine months of 2022).
    • Net other financial income in the first nine months of 2023 amounted to €50.4 million, compared to net other financial expenses of €3.4 million for the first nine months of 2022, and was primarily attributable to €54.6 million of interest income, which increased significantly due to the increase in interest rates.

    We reported a group net profit for the first nine months of 2023 of €54.1 million, compared to a group net loss of €10.8 million for the first nine months of 2022.

    Cash position

    Current financial investments and cash and cash equivalents totaled €3,811.7 million on 30 September 2023, as compared to €4,094.1 million on 31 December 2022 (excluding €9.9 million of net accrued interest income).

    Total net decrease in cash and cash equivalents and current financial investments amounted to €282.4 million during the first nine months of 2023, compared to a net decrease of €341.1 million during the first nine months of 2022. This net decrease was composed of (i) €343.8 million of operational cash burn, offset by (ii) €3.5 million of positive exchange rate differences, (iii) €1.8 million of cash proceeds from capital and share premium increase from exercise of subscription rights in the first nine months of 2023, (iv) €24.5 million positive changes in fair value of current financial investments and (v) €20.2 million of accrued interest income on term deposits and €11.4 million accrued interest income on treasury bills.

    Outlook 2023

    Financial outlook

    • We reiterate our full year 2023 net sales guidance for Jyseleca® of €100-€120 million and full year 2023 cash burn guidance in the range of €380-€420 million.

    R&D outlook

    • Oncology pipeline
      • We expect to include the first patient in the PAPILIO-1 Phase 1/2 study evaluating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of our point-of-care manufactured BCMA CAR-T candidate, GLPG5301, in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (rrMM) in the coming weeks. The study will be conducted in centers across Europe.
      • Three abstracts on our CAR-T portfolio in hemato-oncology have been selected for poster presentations at the 65th Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and exposition conference taking place on 9-12 December in San Diego, California (see details below). The two presentations on EUPLAGIA-1 and ATALANTA-1 will include more recent data updates and additional data not found in the ASH abstracts. One presentation will outline the clinical study design of the PAPILIO-1 Phase 1/2 study.
      • Following the point-of-care manufacturing agreement with Boston-based Landmark Bio, we expect to submit an Investigational New Drug Application in the U.S. to start clinical development with our CD19 CAR-T programs in the first half of 2024.
    • Immunology portfolio
      • Pending approval of the Clinical Trial Application submitted in the European Union for our CD19 CAR-T candidate, GLPG5101, in patients with rSLE, we expect to open the first clinical centers and begin screening patients with rSLE in early 2024.

    Business development

    • We will continue to extensively evaluate various product candidates and business development opportunities to further leverage our internal capabilities and accelerate and expand our product portfolio.

Given these risks and uncertainties, the reader is advised not to place any undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results, performance, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with such forward-looking statements, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of publication of this release. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements in this release unless required by law or regulation.

    i The operational cash burn (or operational cash flow if this liquidity measure is positive) is equal to the increase or decrease in our cash and cash equivalents (excluding the effect of exchange rate differences on cash and cash equivalents), minus:

    • the net proceeds, if any, from share capital and share premium increases included in the net cash flows generated from/used in (-) financing activities
    • the net proceeds or cash used, if any, in acquisitions or disposals of businesses; the movement in restricted cash and movement in current financial investments, if any, the cash advances and loans given to third parties, if any, included in the net cash flows generated from/used in (-) investing activities
    • the cash used for other liabilities related to the acquisition of businesses, if any, included in the net cash flows generated from/used in (-) operating activities.

    This alternative liquidity measure is in our view an important metric for a biotech company in the development stage. The operational cash burn for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 amounted to €343.8 million and can be reconciled to our cash flow statement by considering the decrease in cash and cash equivalents of €348.1 million, adjusted by (i) the cash proceeds from capital and share premium increase from the exercise of subscription rights by employees for €1.8 million, and (ii) the net purchase of current financial investments amounting to €6.1 million.
