Seagen Inc. (NASDAQ:SGEN) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. The Company also highlighted PADCEV^® (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv), TUKYSA^® (tucatinib), ADCETRIS^® (brentuximab vedotin) and TIVDAK^® (tisotumab vedotin-tftv) commercial and development accomplishments, as well as progress across its potentially transformative oncology pipeline.

"We delivered total revenue of nearly $2 billion in 2022, reflecting 25 percent growth compared to 2021 driven by strong demand for our portfolio of approved products," said David Epstein, Chief Executive Officer of Seagen. "We made excellent progress in growing our four marketed brands. Importantly, the FDA is currently reviewing our supplemental regulatory submission under the accelerated approval program for PADCEV as first-line treatment for cisplatin-ineligible patients with advanced urothelial cancer, which has the potential to be a meaningful growth driver for the brand. We anticipate multiple key data and regulatory catalysts in 2023, which will provide a path for us to build a more global oncology leader with the potential to address the needs of still larger populations of cancer patients."

PRODUCTS HIGHLIGHTS

PADCEV

• Announced FDA Acceptance of Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for PADCEV with KEYTRUDA^® (pembrolizumab) for First-Line Advanced or Metastatic Urothelial Cancer; PDUFA Date April 21, 2023: In December 2022, Seagen, Astellas and Merck announced the FDA granted Priority Review of the sBLA and set a target action date of April 21, 2023. The application is seeking accelerated approval based on the results of the phase 1b/2 EV-103 clinical trial (also known as KEYNOTE-869) Dose Escalation/Cohort A and Cohort K. The trial evaluated PADCEV with KEYTRUDA as first-line treatment in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who are ineligible to receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
• Completed Enrollment in Global Phase 3 Clinical Trial, called EV-302, in First-Line Advanced Urothelial Cancer: In November 2022, Seagen and its partner Astellas completed patient enrollment in the EV-302 trial evaluating the combination of PADCEV and KEYTRUDA versus chemotherapy alone in patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer. EV-302 includes metastatic urothelial cancer patients who are either eligible or ineligible for cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The trial is intended to support global registrations and potentially serve as a confirmatory trial if accelerated approval is granted based on EV-103.
• Presenting New Data from the EV-103 trial at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers (ASCO GU) Symposium: Seagen will highlight new data for PADCEV including a podium presentation featuring noteworthy patient-reported outcomes from the EV-103 Cohort K study. The ASCO GU meeting is taking place February 16-18, 2023.

TUKYSA

• Received FDA Accelerated Approval of TUKYSA in Combination with Trastuzumab for People with Previously Treated RAS Wild-Type, HER2-Positive Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: In January 2023, the FDA granted accelerated approval to TUKYSA in combination with trastuzumab for adult patients with RAS wild-type, HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer that has progressed following treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin- and irinotecan-based chemotherapy. This is the first FDA-approved treatment specifically for HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials.

ADCETRIS

• Received FDA Approval of New ADCETRIS Indication for Children with Previously Untreated High Risk Hodgkin Lymphoma: In November 2022, ADCETRIS received approval for the treatment of pediatric patients 2 years and older with previously untreated high risk classical Hodgkin lymphoma. The approval resulted in a grant of pediatric exclusivity, which extends the period of U.S. market exclusivity for ADCETRIS by an additional six months.

TIVDAK

• Elevated to Preferred Regimen by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network^® (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Cervical Cancer: In December 2022, the NCCN guidelines were updated elevating TIVDAK to a Category 2A Preferred Regimen for second-line or subsequent recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.

PIPELINE PROGRAMS

• Presented Data Highlighting SGN-B6A, a Novel Antibody-Drug Conjugate, at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 37th Annual Meeting: In November 2022, Seagen reported initial phase 1 clinical data for SGN-B6A in patients with relapsed or refractory metastatic solid tumors at the SITC Annual Meeting. SGN-B6A demonstrated a manageable and tolerable safety profile at the explored dose levels and schedules. The initial anti-tumor activity observed in heavily pre-treated patients is encouraging and has triggered expansion cohorts in non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer and esophageal cancer.
• Initiated Clinical Trial of SGN-BB228, a Novel Bispecific Antibody-Anticalin Candidate: In January 2023, the first patient was dosed in a phase 1 trial of SGN-BB228, a CD228x4-1BB bispecific molecule, in advanced melanoma and other solid tumors.

FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues: Total revenues in the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 were $528 million and $2.0 billion, respectively, compared to $430 million and $1.6 billion for the same periods in 2021. Revenues in the 2022 periods reflected higher net product sales across the Company's commercial portfolio.

Revenues were comprised of the following components:

• Net Product Sales: The increases in net product sales for the periods in 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 were driven by continued commercial execution across the portfolio. ADCETRIS growth was related to diagnosis rates which we believe have returned to pre-pandemic levels for the frontline indications, favorable pricing dynamics and greater use in frontline advanced Hodgkin lymphoma. PADCEV growth was a result of additional eligible patients in the second-line, post-checkpoint maintenance setting for metastatic urothelial cancer and to a lesser extent, sales of drug product for use in clinical trials being conducted by another company. TUKYSA performance reflected expected competitive dynamics in its current indication. TIVDAK commercialization began in the U.S. following FDA approval in September 2021 and reflects meaningful adoption in its labeled indication.
• Royalty Revenues: Royalty revenues were primarily driven by sales of Takeda's ADCETRIS outside the U.S. and Canada as well as royalties from Roche's sales of Polivy^® (polatuzumab vedotin), which is an ADC that uses Seagen technology.
• Collaboration and License Agreement Revenues: The increase in collaboration and license agreement revenues for the full year in 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 reflects clinical milestones and payments from ADC collaborators, royalty contribution from Astellas' sales of PADCEV in its territory and a $30 million upfront license fee from Zai Lab related to a regional collaboration for TIVDAK.

Cost of Sales: Cost of sales in the fourth quarter were $108 million, compared to $87 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Cost of sales were $410 million for the full year in 2022, compared to $312 million for the same period in 2021. The increases in 2022 were primarily driven by higher sales of our medicines and the related gross profit share amounts owed to collaboration partners, which were $64 million and $253 million in the fourth quarter and full year in total, respectively, compared to $46 million and $162 million for the same periods in 2021. Cost of sales also reflects amortization of TUKYSA acquired in-process technology costs, third-party royalties owed for PADCEV and TUKYSA net product sales, and cost of products sold.

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses in the fourth quarter were $358 million, compared to $304 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. R&D expenses were $1.3 billion for the full year in 2022, compared to $1.2 billion in 2021. The increase in full year in 2022 primarily reflected continued investment in clinical development of the Company's approved drugs and pipeline programs.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses: SG&A expenses in the fourth quarter were $216 million, compared to $211 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. SG&A expenses were $821 million for the full year in 2022, compared to $716 million for the same period in 2021. The increases in 2022 were driven by ongoing commercialization efforts, legal costs, and other corporate activities.

Non-cash share-based compensation expense for the full year in 2022 was $221 million, compared to $173 million for the same period in 2021.

Net Income / Loss: Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $148 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $175 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2021. For the full year in 2022, net loss was $610 million, or $3.30 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $674 million, or $3.70 per diluted share, for the year in 2021. Net loss in full year 2021 included a $200 million upfront payment to RemeGen.

Cash and Investments: As of December 31, 2022, Seagen had $1.7 billion in cash and investments.
