Negative
R&D Expense Surge: GAAP R&D expenses increased significantly to $150.8 million in 2024 from $59.4 million in 2023, indicating a substantial rise in costs associated with clinical trials.
G&A Expense Increase: Non-GAAP G&A expenses rose to $25.5 million in 2024 from $20.6 million in 2023, primarily due to increased stock-based compensation charges, which may raise concerns about operational efficiency.
R&D Expense Decrease: Acquired in-process R&D expenses were $15 million in 2024, a significant decrease from $520.9 million in 2023, but this was largely due to the previous year's upfront payments to Akeso, indicating a reliance on external partnerships for development.
R&D Expense Concerns: Despite a strong cash position of approximately $412 million, the increase in R&D expenses raises questions about the sustainability of financial health if costs continue to rise without corresponding revenue.
Revenue Concerns and R&D Investment: The company has not yet generated revenue from Ivonescimab, which raises concerns about the long-term viability of its business model as it continues to invest heavily in R&D.
