Company Report

Exelixis Earnings: Cabometyx Posts Strong Sales, but Patent Expirations Present Long-Term Concerns

Exelixis’ third-quarter results were highlighted by quarterly net product revenue of nearly $426 million, representing a 16% increase from the prior-year period. Including license and collaboration revenue, third-quarter revenue totaled nearly $472 million. Greater sales volume and a higher average net selling price drove Exelixis’ revenue. We continue to forecast roughly $1.84 billion in total revenue in 2023, driven by strong performance from the cabozantinib franchise. We maintain our fair value estimate of $18.90 per share, High Uncertainty Rating, and no economic moat rating. We view shares as fairly valued, currently trading in 3-star territory.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Cabozantinib has been effective in a variety of cancers, including kidney, liver, and thyroid cancers, and label expansions could further expand the drug’s market opportunity.

Bears

Cabozantinib is the active ingredient in two of Exelixis' three approved drugs (Cabometyx and Cometriq) and its strongest U.S. patent covering cabozantinib’s composition of matter expires in 2026.
