EDISON EQUITY RESEARCH: BTG: ADR UPDATE - SMALL UPGRADES FOLLOWING INTERIMS; STRATEGY INTACT

BTG’s interim results have driven upgrades to our financial forecasts with a small boost to revenues from one-off Zytiga backdated royalties. Our operating expenses are broadly unchanged, but adjustments to financial income and tax lead to +12% to FY16e normalised net income. BTG continues to target IM sales >$1.25bn in FY21 from its diverse portfolio of interventional medicine products (including oncology, vascular and pulmonology), with selective investment ongoing in products in the early stage of launch, supported by licensing and specialty pharma cash flows.

BTG is a UK-based specialist healthcare company with a direct commercial presence with its interventional medicine portfolio and in US acute care medicine. It also receives royalties from a number of licensing agreements.
