  • Preliminary Q2 2022 Monjuvi U.S. net product sales of US$ 23.3 million (€ 21.7 million)
  • Update of financial guidance range for 2022 Monjuvi U.S. net product sales (now US$ 90 to US$ 110 million)
  • Update of R&D expense guidance (now € 275 to € 300 million) following license agreements for felzartamab and MOR210

PLANEGG/MUNICH, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / July 26, 2022 / MorphoSys AG (FSE:MOR)(NASDAQ:MOR) today reported preliminary U.S. net product sales of Monjuvi® (tafasitamab-cxix) for the second quarter 2022 and announced an update of its financial guidance for 2022 based on the preliminary unaudited consolidated results for the first six months 2022 and following the license agreements with Human Immunology Biosciences, Inc. (HIBio) for felzartamab and MOR210.

Preliminary Monjuvi U.S. Net Product Sales are US$ 23.3 million (€ 21.7 million) for the second quarter of 2022 and US$ 41.9 million (€ 38.3 million) for the first half year 2022. For the full year of 2022, MorphoSys now expects Monjuvi U.S. Net Product Sales in the range of US$ 90 to US$ 110 million (previously: US$ 110 to US$ 135 million). Further, MorphoSys now expects R&D expenses in the range of € 275 to € 300 million (previously: € 300 to € 325 million) and SG&A expenses in the range of € 150 to € 165 million (previously: € 155 to € 170 million).

"We are pleased with the bounce back in Monjuvi sales in the second quarter 2022 where we observed the highest demand since launch. While we are encouraged by a positive trend in duration of therapy, we recognize the competitive landscape has increased including recent approvals of additional second-line treatment options for relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. As such, we have lowered our expectations for growth in the second half of 2022 which is reflected in our revised sales guidance range for Monjuvi," said Jean-Paul Kress, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of MorphoSys. "With the licensing of felzartamab and MOR210 to HIBio, we were able to reduce R&D expenses which has been reflected in the revised R&D guidance range."

The previous financial guidance for 2022 was provided by MorphoSys on January 7, 2022 and reiterated on March 16 and May 4, 2022 and can be found at www.morphosys.com. Guidance for Gross Margin for Monjuvi U.S. Net Product Sales remains unchanged.
