Consolidated fair value $13.52 all other verticals held in this portfolio case
Final-quarter revenue $12M 6% of company revenue
Explicit segment contribution $62M EBITDA less segment capex, before corporate items

Jazz and Vertex convert into recognised research fees and the 635 ramp is a little faster than the opening 17%. Growth deltas compound for 28 quarters, so this case uses a small tilt plus a 12x exit. It does not reach the named-case 250k expansion and it does not assume five clinical programs are five commercial drugs.

Discovery and access fees from partners. $3.901M in the basis quarter, 96% of revenue, down from $6.639M a year earlier. Partner-led programs with a downstream stake fell from 44 to 35. Jazz and Vertex add deferred cash, not this P&L line yet. Sequential growth on the filed total.

Assumptions & reasoning

  • Do not read −76% company revenue as a broken platform. Partner-led programs with a downstream stake fell from 44 to 35 by design, which is the plan working.
  • Jazz $84M and Vertex $28M are mostly deferred. Q2 P&L research fees are $3.9M. Do not add the upfronts to this line.
  • Company operating loss $62.8M is not this line's cost. Internal R&D sits in a corporate programme of $46M a quarter.
