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.
