Interim Report for the First Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

 

Highlights

·

Completion of public offering and listing of American Depository Shares (ADSs) on Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “GMAB.”  Total gross proceeds from the issuance of new shares amounted to USD 582 million (DKK 3,873 million) with a corresponding increase in share capital of 3,277,500 ordinary shares or 32,775,000 ADSs

·

Positive data reported by Novartis for the Phase III ASCLEPIOS I & II studies of subcutaneous ofatumumab in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS)

·

DARZALEX® (daratumumab) approved in the U.S. in combination with bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone (VTd) and in Japan in combination with bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone (VMP) in various multiple myeloma frontline settings 

·

Positive topline results for daratumumab in both the Phase III CANDOR and Phase II GRIFFIN studies in various multiple myeloma settings

·

Biologics License Application (BLA) submitted to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) for the subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab; standard review received. An extension of marketing authorization for this formulation was also submitted to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) 

·

DARZALEX net sales increased 50%  compared to the first nine months of 2018 to USD 2,168 million, resulting in royalty income of DKK 2,033 million

·

Genmab is improving its 2019 financial guidance mainly due to positive foreign exchange movements between the USD and DKK resulting in increased milestone income and royalties on sales of DARZALEX

 

“Genmab made excellent progress across many areas of the business during the third quarter of 2019. Of key significance was the completion of our public offering of American Depositary Shares and listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the U.S. Genmab’s status as a dual listed company both increases our visibility as an innovation powerhouse and provides additional support for the development of our exciting pipeline of antibody product candidates,” said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab. “Over the past three months advances to this pipeline included positive data readouts for ofatumumab in relapsing multiple sclerosis and daratumumab in multiple myeloma, regulatory submissions for daratumumab and teprotumumab and additional approvals for daratumumab in the U.S. and Asia. In addition, we entered into new strategic collaborations with companies such as Tempus and BliNK Biomedical, which will allow us to expand our pipeline in new directions as Genmab continues to move towards our goal of transforming cancer treatment.”

 

Financial Performance First Nine Months of 2019

·

Revenue was DKK 2,405 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 1,789 million in the first nine months of 2018.  The increase of DKK 616 million, or 34%, was mainly driven by higher DARZALEX royalties and reimbursement income from our collaborations with Seattle Genetics and BioNTech,  partly offset by the one-time payment from Novartis of USD 50 million (DKK 304 million) during the first nine months of 2018 for lost potential milestones and royalties following announcement of Novartis’ intention to transition Arzerra® (ofatumumab) to limited availability via compassionate use programs for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in non-U.S. markets.

Interim Report for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

 

·

Net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 2,168 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to USD 1,441 million in the first nine months of 2018, an increase of USD 727 million, or 50%. 

·

Operating expenses were DKK 1,943 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 1,130 million in the first nine months of 2018. The increase of DKK 813 million, or 72%, was driven by the advancement of tisotumab vedotin and enapotamab vedotin,  additional investments in our product pipeline,  and the increase in new employees to support the expansion of our product pipeline.

·

Operating income was DKK 462 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 659 million in the first nine months of 2018.  As anticipated, the decrease of DKK 197 million, or 30%, was driven primarily by increased operating expenses and the one-time payment from Novartis in 2018.

 

Outlook

Genmab is improving its 2019 financial guidance published on August 14, 2019 mainly due to positive foreign exchange movements between the USD and DKK resulting in increased milestone income and royalties on sales of DARZALEX.

Genmab is improving its 2019 financial guidance published on August 14, 2019 mainly due to positive foreign exchange movements between the USD and DKK resulting in increased milestone income and royalties on sales of DARZALEX.

 

Revenue

We expect our 2019 revenue to be approximately DKK 5,100 million, an increase of DKK 300 million compared to the previous guidance. Our projected revenue for 2019 primarily consists of DARZALEX royalties of DKK 3,000 million, an increase of DKK 115 million from the previous guidance due to positive impact of USD/DKK exchange rate movements.  The DARZALEX royalties are based on estimated net sales of USD 3.0 billion in 2019. We project DARZALEX milestones of approximately DKK 1,675 million driven by commercial net-sales based milestones of USD 100 million and USD 150 million, for achieving net-sales in a calendar year of USD 2.5 billion and USD 3.0 billion respectively, an increase of DKK 175 million from the previous guidance mainly due to positive impact of USD/DKK exchange rate movements. The remainder of the revenue consists of cost reimbursement income, Arzerra® royalties, and DuoBody® milestones.

 

Operating Expenses

We anticipate that our 2019 operating expenses will be approximately DKK 2,750 million driven by the advancement of our product pipeline and addition of new projects.

 

Operating Result

We now expect the operating income to be approximately DKK 2,350 million in 2019, an increase of DKK 300 million compared to the previous guidance.  

 

Outlook: Risks and Assumptions

In addition to factors already mentioned, the estimates above are subject to change due to numerous reasons, including but not limited to the achievement of certain milestones associated with our collaboration agreements; the timing and variation of development activities (including activities carried out by our collaboration partners) and related income and costs; DARZALEX sales and corresponding royalties to Genmab; and currency exchange rates. The financial guidance assumes that no significant agreements are entered during 2019 that could materially affect the results.

Third Quarter Update

·

September: DARZALEX approved in combination with VTd as treatment for patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). The approval was based on data from the Phase III CASSIOPEIA (MMY3006) study.

·

September: Recruitment complete in the Phase III CEPHEUS (MMY3019) study of subcutaneous daratumumab in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide and dexamethasone (VRd) in patients with untreated multiple myeloma for whom hematopoietic stem cell transplant is not planned as initial therapy.

·

September:  Enrollment temporarily on hold for Phase III AURIGA (MMY3021) trial based on U.S. FDA request for additional information related to analytical methods included in the study protocol.

·

September: Topline results from the Phase III CANDOR study, sponsored by Amgen, of daratumumab in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone (Kd) versus Kd alone in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma met the primary endpoint of improvement in progression free survival (PFS).  Daratumumab in combination with Kd resulted in a 37% reduction in the risk of progression or death in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (HR=0.630; 95% CI: 0.464, 0.854; p=0.0014). The median PFS for patients treated with daratumumab in combination with Kd had not been reached by the cut-off date compared to a median PFS of 15.8 months for patients who received Kd alone. There was a higher frequency of adverse events reported with daratumumab plus Kd, a three-agent regimen, than with Kd, a two-agent regimen. The types of observed adverse events were consistent with the known safety profiles of the individual agents. Amgen will discuss the data with health authorities in preparation for regulatory submissions.

·

February: Topline results from the Phase III COLUMBA study (MMY3012) of subcutaneous versus intravenous (IV) daratumumab for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma were reported. The results showed that subcutaneous administration of daratumumab co-formulated with recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20 is non-inferior to IV administration of daratumumab with regard to the co-primary endpoints of overall response rate (ORR) and Maximum Trough concentration (Ctrough) of daratumumab on day 1 of the third treatment cycle. The ORR for patients treated with subcutaneous daratumumab was 41.1% versus 37.1% in patients treated with IV daratumumab. The lower limit of the 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for the ratio of the two met the specified non-inferiority criterion for this co-primary endpoint. The geometric mean of Ctrough for patients treated with subcutaneous daratumumab was 499 mg/mL versus 463 mg/mL in patients treated with IV daratumumab. The lower limit of the 95% CI for the ratio of the two met the specified non-inferiority criterion for this co-primary endpoint. No new safety signals were detected and Janssen plans to discuss the potential for a regulatory submission for subcutaneous daratumumab with health authorities.

investigated in two Phase III clinical studies in RMS. The studies compare the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous ofatumumab versus teriflunomide in patients with relapsing MS and are comprised of approximately 900 patients each. A Phase III study examining the long-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of ofatumumab in patients with relapsing MS who participated in a previous study is also ongoing as is a study to evaluate the bioequivalence of 20mg of subcutaneous ofatumumab injected by either pre-filled syringe or autoinjector in adult relapsing MS patients.  

 

Third Quarter Update

·

August: Novartis reported that the Phase III ASCLEPIOS I & II studies of subcutaneous ofatumumab versus teriflunomide in adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis met the primary endpoints where ofatumumab showed a highly significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the number of confirmed relapses, evaluated as the annualized relapse rate (ARR). Key secondary endpoints of delaying the time to confirmed disability progression were also met. According to Novartis, ofatumumab delivered sustained efficacy and the safety profile of ofatumumab as seen in the ASCLEPIOS studies is in line with the observations from prior Phase II results. Detailed data from these studies was subsequently presented at the 35th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) in September. Patients with RMS on ofatumumab had a reduction in ARR by 50.5% (0.11 vs. 0.22) and 58.5% (0.10 vs 0.25) compared to teriflunomide (both studies p<0.001) in ASCLEPIOS I and II studies respectively. Regarding secondary endpoints of the trials, ofatumumab showed highly significant suppression of gadolinium (Gd) enhancing T1 lesions when compared to teriflunomide demonstrating a profound suppression of new inflammatory activity. Ofatumumab showed a relative risk reduction of 34.4% in 3-month confirmed disability worsening (CDW) (p=0.002) and 32.5% in 6-month CDW (p=0.012) versus teriflunomide in pre-specified pooled analyses. Based on the ASCLEPIOS data Novartis plans to initiate submissions to health authorities by the end of 2019.

and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Based on the data from these studies, Janssen may exercise its option and receive a worldwide license to develop, manufacture and commercialize HexaBody-CD38. Should this occur, Janssen will pay Genmab a USD 150 million option exercise fee and up to USD 125 million in development milestones, as well as a flat royalty rate of 20% on sales of HexaBody-CD38 until a specified time in 2031, followed by 13-20% tiered royalties on sales thereafter. Should Janssen not exercise its option, the terms of the agreement allow Genmab to continue to develop and commercialize HexaBody-CD38 for DARZALEX-resistant patients, and in all other indications except those multiple myeloma or amyloidosis indications where DARZALEX is either approved or is being actively developed.

 

The agreement is the outcome of pre-clinical research on novel CD38 targeting concepts conducted by Genmab. HexaBody-CD38 showed encouraging in vitro complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activity in B-cell lymphoma and leukemia, including for cells with low CD38 expression levels. HexaBody-CD38 also showed similar antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) in vitro compared to daratumumab.

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

As a biotech company, Genmab faces a number of risks and uncertainties. These are common for the industry and relate to operations, research and development, commercial and financial activities. For further information about risks and uncertainties, which the Genmab group faces, refer to the 2018 annual report and the final prospectus for our U.S. public offering and listing, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in July of 2019. At the date of this interim report, there have been no significant changes to Genmab’s overall risk profile since the publication of the 2018 annual report.

Interim Report for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The interim report is prepared on a consolidated basis for the Genmab group. The financial statements are published in Danish Kroner (DKK).

 

Revenue

Genmab’s revenue was DKK 2,405 million for the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 1,789 million for the first nine months of 2018.  The increase of DKK 616 million, or 34%, was mainly driven by higher DARZALEX royalties and reimbursement income from our collaborations with Seattle Genetics and BioNTech, partly offset by the one-time payment from Novartis of USD 50 million (DKK 304 million) during the first nine months of 2018.

Royalties

Royalty income amounted to DKK 2,051 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 1,134 million in the first nine months of 2018. The increase of DKK 917 million, or 81%, was driven by higher DARZALEX royalties, which were partly offset by lower Arzerra royalties.

 

Net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 2,168 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to USD 1,441 million in the first nine months of 2018.  The increase of USD 727 million, or 50%, was driven by the continued strong uptake following the regulatory approvals in the U.S., EU and Japan. Royalty income on net sales of DARZALEX was DKK 2,033 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 1,111 million in the first nine months of 2018,  an increase of DKK 922 million. The increase in royalties of 83% is higher than the increase in the underlying sales due to the change in royalty tiers in 2019. During the third quarter of 2019, the royalty rate on net sales of DARZALEX moved into the 16% royalty tier on net sales exceeding USD 1.5 billion in a calendar year and the 18% royalty tier on net sales exceeding USD 2 billion in a calendar year.

 

Novartis’ net sales of Arzerra were USD 13 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to USD 19 million in the first nine months of 2018, a decrease of USD 6 million, or 32%. Royalty income on net sales of Arzerra was DKK 18 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 23 million in the first nine months of 2018, a decrease of DKK 5 million, or 22%. 

 

Royalty income may fluctuate from period to period based on the level of sales, various accruals and foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Milestone Payments

Milestone income was DKK 100 million in the first nine months of 2019, which was driven by the first commercial sale of DARZALEX in Japan in the third indication under the expanded label and milestones under the Janssen DuoBody collaboration.  Milestone income was DKK 142 million in the first nine months of 2018, which was driven by the first commercial sale of DARZALEX in the EU in the fourth indication under the expanded label and the Janssen and Novo Nordisk DuoBody collaborations. Milestone income may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to both the timing of achievements and the varying amount of each individual milestone under our license and collaboration agreements.

Interim Report for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

 

Licenses Fees

There was no license fee income during the first nine months of 2019.  License fee income was DKK 338 million during the first nine of 2018, which was driven by the USD 50 million upfront payment from Novartis with the amendment of the Arzerra/ofatumumab license and collaboration agreement, payment from Janssen for an additional DuoBody target pair under the license agreement and the payment from Novo Nordisk for extending exclusivity of the commercial license for a DuoBody target pair under the agreement.

 

Reimbursement Income

Reimbursement income amounted to DKK 254 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 175 million in the first nine months of 2018. The increase of DKK 79 million, or 45%, was driven by increased activities under our collaboration agreements with Seattle Genetics and BioNTech.

 

Refer to note 2 in this interim report for further details about revenue.

 

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs amounted to DKK 1,717 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 975 million in the first nine months of 2018.  The increase of DKK 742 million, or 76%, was driven by the advancement of tisotumab vedotin and enapotamab vedotin, the additional investment in our product pipeline, and the increase in research and development employees.

 

Research and development costs accounted for 88% of the total operating expenses in the first nine months of 2019 compared to 86% in the first nine months of 2018. 

 

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were DKK 226 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 155 million in the first nine months of 2018.  The increase of DKK 71 million, or 46%, was driven by growth across all support areas including enhanced technology and systems, early investment in commercial, and other areas  due to the expansion of our product pipeline.

 

General and administrative expenses accounted for 12% of the total operating expenses in the first nine months of 2019 compared to 14% in the first nine months of 2018.

 

Operating Result

Operating income was DKK 462 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to DKK 659 million in the first nine months of 2018.  As anticipated, the decrease of DKK 197 million, or 30%, was driven primarily by increased operating expenses and the one-time payment from Novartis in 2018.

 

As of September 30, 2019, the total number of employees was 533 compared to 349 employees as of September 30, 2018.  The increase in employees was driven by the expansion and acceleration of our pipeline.

of 2019, the USD strengthened against the DKK to a greater extent than 2018, resulting in greater realized and unrealized exchange rate gains.  Refer to note 4 in this interim report for further details about the net financial items.

 

Corporate Tax

The corporate tax expense for the first nine months of 2019 was DKK 210 million compared to DKK 183 million for the first nine months of 2018.  The estimated annual effective corporate tax rate in the first nine months of 2019 was 23% compared to 22% in the first nine months of 2018.  There has been no reversal of the valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the first nine months of 2019 or the first nine months of 2018.

 

Net Result

Net result for the first nine months of 2019 was a net income of DKK 694 million compared to DKK 638 million in the first nine months of 2018.  The increase was driven by the items described above.

As of September 30, 2019, cash, cash equivalents,  and marketable securities (cash position) amounted to DKK 11,117 million,  an increase of DKK  5,011 million from the beginning of 2019.  The increase was mainly driven by net proceeds from the issuance of new shares in connection with the public offering and listing of ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Select Market of DKK 3,638 million,  positive working capital adjustments of DKK 567 million related to milestones achieved in the fourth quarter of 2018, which were received in the first nine months of 2019,  and our operating income of DKK 462 million, which were partly offset by corporate taxes paid of DKK 140 million during the first nine months of 2019.

 

There were no short-term marketable securities included in cash and cash equivalents at the end of September 2019 or at the end December 2018. In accordance with our accounting policy, securities purchased with a maturity of less than three months at the date of acquisition are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Refer to note 3 in this interim report for further details about our marketable securities.

Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily related to our operating result, working capital fluctuations, reversal of net financial items, and adjustments related to non-cash expenses, all of which may be highly variable period to period. In the first nine months of 2019, the primary driver of higher cash provided by operating activities was higher positive working capital adjustments in 2019 related to milestones achieved in the fourth quarter of 2018 that were received in 2019.  

 

The change in cash used in investing activities primarily reflects differences between the proceeds received from sale and maturity of our investments and amounts invested.  Purchases of marketable securities exceeded sales and maturities in the first nine months of 2019 and 2018.

Interim Report for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

 

 

Net cash provided by financing activities is primarily related to the issuance of shares, purchase of treasury shares, exercise of warrants and lease payments. In the first nine months of 2019, the primary driver of the higher cash provided by financing activities was related to net proceeds from the issuance of new shares in connection with the public offering and listing of ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Select Market of DKK 3,638 million, and purchase of treasury shares during the first nine months of 2018 of DKK 146 million. There were no purchases of treasury shares during the first nine months of 2019.

 

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2019, total assets were DKK 13,330 million compared to DKK 8,461 million as of December 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2019, assets are mainly comprised of a cash position of DKK 11,117 million and receivables of DKK  1,151 million. The receivables consist primarily of royalties from our license and collaboration agreements and non-interest bearing receivables, which are due less than one year from the balance sheet date.

 

Shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2019 was DKK 12,515 million compared to DKK 8,014 million at the end of December 2018.  The increase of DKK 4,501 million, or 56%, was driven primarily by the issuance of shares and by our net income. As of September 30, 2019, Genmab’s equity ratio was 94% compared to 95% as of December 31, 2018. 

 

Legal Matter – MorphoSys Patent Infringement Complaint

On January 25, 2019, the District Court ruled on summary judgment that the three MorphoSys patents were invalid for lack of enablement.  MorphoSys had the opportunity to appeal the District Court’s decision. In addition, a further claim by Janssen and us that the three MorphoSys patents were unenforceable due to inequitable conduct by MorphoSys was included in the case. On January 31, 2019, MorphoSys dismissed its infringement claims against us and Janssen with prejudice, and we and Janssen, in turn, dismissed our inequitable conduct claims against MorphoSys.  As such, there will be no further proceedings in the case.

 

General Corporate Matter – Initial Public Offering of ADSs in the U.S. and Capital Increase

On May 28, 2019, Genmab filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering of ADSs and applied for listing of the ADSs on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.  Genmab commenced the initial public offering of ADSs on July 9, 2019 and priced the offering on July 17, 2019.

 

On July 22, 2019, the public offering and listing of ADSs on Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “GMAB” was completed. Gross proceeds from the issuance of new shares amounted to USD 506 million (DKK 3,368 million) with a corresponding increase in share capital of 2,850,000 ordinary shares or 28,500,000 ADSs. Further, the underwriters’ exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 427,500 ordinary shares or 4,275,000 ADSs bringing the total gross proceeds of the offering to USD 582 million (DKK 3,873 million). The closing of the overallotment was completed on July 23, 2019. The public offering price of $17.75 per ADS, corresponded to a subscription price of DKK 1,181.80 per New Share at the U.S. dollar/DKK exchange rate of DKK 6.6580 per USD 1.00 on July 17, 2019, multiplied by the ADS-to-share ratio of ten-to-one. Underwriting commissions paid were USD 32 million (DKK 213 million). Expenses related to the issuance amounted to DKK 22 million. Total share capital following the public offering amounted to DKK 64,967,643.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

Accounting Policies

The interim report is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 (IAS 34), “Interim Financial Reporting” and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies. The interim report has not been reviewed or audited by Genmab’s external auditors.

 

The interim report has been prepared using the same accounting policies as outlined in section 1 – Basis of Presentation in the financial statements in the 2018 annual report, except for the adoption of new accounting standards detailed below.

 

Management Judgments and Estimates under IFRS

In preparing interim reports, certain provisions under IFRS require management to make judgments (various accounting estimates and assumptions), which may significantly impact the group’s financial statements. The most significant judgments include, among other things, revenue recognition, share-based compensation, deferred tax assets, and recognition of internally generated intangible assets. For additional descriptions of significant judgments and estimates, refer to note 1.3 in the 2018 annual report.

 

Fair Value Measurement

For financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, IFRS 13 for financial instruments requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy for:

·

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

·

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)

·

Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

New Accounting Standards - Recently Adopted

 

IFRS 16 Leasing

 

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this method, all leases are recognized in the balance sheet as a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset with a corresponding lease liability, except for short term assets in which the lease term is 12 months or less, or low value assets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The ROU asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis over the

lease term. In the income statement, lease costs are replaced by depreciation of the ROU asset recognized over the lease term in operating expenses, and interest expenses related to the lease liability are classified in financial items. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

 

Genmab determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.  Genmab leases various properties and IT equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions.

 

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of fixed payments, less any lease incentives. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).  

 

ROU assets are measured at cost and include the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability,  any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs, and restoration costs.

 

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the income statement. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

 

On adoption of IFRS 16, the group recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases that had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019.  The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on January 1, 2019 was 3.7%.

 

The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the financial statements as of January 1, 2019 is shown in the table and further described below:

from operating activities increased by DKK 26.0 million and cash flows from financing activities decreased by DKK 21.5 million as a result of adopting IFRS 16 in the first nine months of 2019.

 

For purposes of applying the modified retrospective approach in adoption of IFRS 16,  Genmab has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:

 

·

applied the exemption not to recognize ROU assets and liabilities for leases with less than 12 months of lease term from January 1, 2019, and

·

excluded initial direct costs for the measurement of the ROU assets at the date of initial application

 

There are no ROU assets that meet the definition of investment property.

Note 2 – Revenue

 

Genmab enters into license and collaboration agreements that are within the scope of IFRS 15, under which it licenses certain rights to its product candidates to third parties and also may participate in the development of the product candidates. The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to Genmab of one or more of the following: non-refundable, upfront license fees; exclusive designation fees; annual license maintenance fees; additional target fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for research and development services; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Each of these payments results in revenue from contracts with customers.

 

The table below disaggregates our revenue by type of payment and collaboration partner under our agreements, which provides additional information regarding how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows might be affected by economic factors.

In accordance with the group’s risk management guidelines, Genmab’s marketable securities are administrated by two external investment managers who solely invest in securities from investment grade issuers. Genmab invests its cash in deposits with major financial institutions, Danish mortgage bonds and notes issued by Danish, European, and American governments.

 

As of September 30,  2019, 89% of our marketable securities had a triple A-rating, compared to 90% as of December 31, 2018. 

 

The total fair value adjustment for the first nine months of 2019 was income of DKK 138 million, which was driven primarily by foreign exchange adjustments of DKK 113 million due to the strengthening of the USD against the DKK that positively impacted our USD denominated portfolio.

 Realized and unrealized exchange rate gains, net of DKK 345 million in the first nine months of 2019 were driven by the strengthening of the USD against the DKK that positively impacted our USD denominated portfolio and cash holdings. Realized and unrealized exchange rate gains, net of DKK 132 million in the first nine months of 2018 were driven by foreign exchange movements that positively impacted our USD denominated portfolio and cash holdings.

 

The increase in interest and other financial expenses is driven by the interest expense recognized on the lease liability established as part of the adoption of IFRS 16. See note 1 for details of the adoption of IFRS 16 and note 7 for details of the interest expense related to the lease liability.

 

Note 5 – Share-Based Instruments

 

Restricted Stock Unit Program

Genmab A/S established  a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) program as an incentive for all the Genmab group’s employees, members of the Executive Management, and members of the Board of Directors.

 

Under the terms of the RSU program, RSUs are subject to a cliff vesting period and become fully vested on the first banking day of the month following a period of three years from the date of grant. Within 30 days of the vesting date, the holder of an RSU receives one share in Genmab A/S for each RSU. 

 

Our Board of Directors, under two separate authorizations, is currently authorized to repurchase up to a total of 1,000,000 shares (with a nominal value of DKK 1,000,000) at a price per share that may not deviate by more than 10% from the price quoted on Nasdaq Copenhagen at the time of the acquisition. The first authorization, granted on March 17, 2016, authorizes the Board of Directors to repurchase up to a total of 500,000 shares (with a nominal value of DKK 500,000) and shall lapse on March 17, 2021. The second authorization, granted on March 29, 2019, authorizes the Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional 500,000 shares (with a nominal value of DKK 500,000) and shall lapse on March 28, 2024.

Interim Report for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019

 

The authorizations are intended to cover obligations in relation to the RSU program and reduce the dilution effect of share capital increases resulting from future exercises of warrants. As of September 30, 2019, we repurchased a total of 225,000 shares (with a nominal value of DKK 225,000) under the first authorization and have not repurchased any shares under the second authorization. As of September 30, 2019, up to a further 275,000 shares (with a nominal value of up to DKK 275,000) can be repurchased under the first authorization.

 

During the first nine months of 2019,  there were no acquisitions of treasury shares. During the first nine months of 2018, Genmab acquired 125,000 of its own shares, approximately 0.2% of share capital, to cover its future obligations under the RSU program. The total amount paid to acquire the shares, including directly attributable costs, was DKK 146 million and has been recognized as a deduction to shareholders’ equity. These shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented within retained earnings as of September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018.  

 

The shares were acquired in accordance with the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on March 17, 2016 and the acquisition was carried out in compliance with applicable laws, the Nasdaq Copenhagen issuer rules and Genmab’s internal policies on trading with shares of Genmab A/S.

Warrants Granted from August 2004 until April 2012

Under the August 2004 warrant program, warrants vest annually over a four year period on the anniversary of the grant date. Warrants granted under the August 2004 warrant program will lapse on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. As a general rule, the warrant holder may only exercise 25% of the warrants granted per full year of employment or affiliation with Genmab after the grant date. However, the warrant holder will be entitled to retain rights to exercise all warrants on a regular schedule in instances where the employment relationship is terminated by Genmab without cause.

Warrants Granted from April 2012 until March 2017

In April 2012, a new warrant program was adopted by the Board of Directors. Whereas warrants granted under the August 2004 warrant program will lapse on the tenth anniversary of the grant date, warrants granted under the April 2012 warrant program will lapse at the seventh anniversary of the grant date. All other terms in the warrant programs are identical.

 

Warrants Granted from March 2017

In March 2017, a new warrant program was adopted by the Board of Directors. Whereas warrants granted under the April 2012 warrant program vested annually over a four year period, warrants granted under the new March 2017 warrant program are subject to a cliff vesting period and become fully vested three years from the date of grant. All other terms in the warrant programs are identical.

Following Genmab A/S' Annual General Meeting on March 29, 2019,  the Board of Directors is comprised of five independent directors, one non-independent director, and three employee-elected directors. Mats Pettersson, Dr. Anders Gersel Pedersen, Deirdre P. Connelly, Pernille Erenbjerg, Rolf Hoffmann and Dr. Paolo Paoletti were re-elected to the Board of Directors for a one year period. Peter Storm Kristensen, Mijke Zachariasse and Dan Bruno were elected to the Board of Directors by the employees for a three year period. Dr. Rick Hibbert stepped down from the Board of Directors. The reclassification of the employee elected board members’ shares and share-based instruments is shown in the transferred column of the tables above. The Board of Directors convened and constituted itself with Mats Pettersson as Chairman and Deirdre P. Connelly as Deputy Chairman.

 

Other than the remuneration to the Board of Directors and the Executive Management and the transactions detailed in the tables above, no other significant transactions with the Board of Directors or the Executive Management took place during the first nine months of 2019. For further information on the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management, refer to note 5.1 in the 2018 annual report.

ABOUT GENMAB

Genmab is a publicly traded, international biotechnology company specializing in the creation and development of differentiated antibody therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Founded in 1999, the company has two approved antibodies, DARZALEX® (daratumumab) for the treatment of certain multiple myeloma indications, and Arzerra® (ofatumumab) for the treatment of certain chronic lymphocytic leukemia indications. Daratumumab is in clinical development for additional multiple myeloma indications, other blood cancers and amyloidosis. A subcutaneous formulation of ofatumumab is in development for relapsing multiple sclerosis. Genmab also has a broad clinical and pre-clinical product pipeline. Genmab's technology base consists of validated and proprietary next generation antibody technologies - the DuoBody® platform for generation of bispecific antibodies, the HexaBody® platform, which creates effector function enhanced antibodies, the HexElect® platform, which combines two co-dependently acting HexaBody molecules to introduce selectivity while maximizing therapeutic potency and the DuoHexaBody® platform, which enhances the potential potency of bispecific antibodies through hexamerization. The company intends to leverage these technologies to create opportunities for full or co-ownership of future products. Genmab has alliances with top tier pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Genmab is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark with core sites in Utrecht, the Netherlands and Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.

DIRECTORS’ AND MANAGEMENT’S STATEMENT ON THE INTERIM REPORT

 

The Board of Directors and the Executive Management have today considered and adopted the unaudited interim report of the Genmab group for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

The interim report is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 (IAS 34), “Interim Financial Reporting”, as endorsed by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies.

 

We consider the applied accounting policies to be appropriate and, in our opinion, the interim report gives a true and fair view of the assets and liabilities, financial position, results of operation and cash flows of the group.

 

Furthermore, we consider the Management’s Review, pages 4-24, to give a true and fair account of the development in the group’s activities and financial affairs, results of operations and the group’s financial position as a whole as well as a description of the significant risks and uncertainties that the group faces.
