Report Snapshot
Astellas
- Historically, Astellas’ growth was predominantly dependent on Xtandi, Prograf/Astagraf XL, and Myrbetriq as the drugs were 42% of FY2019 revenue.
- Astellas compares unfavorably to most peers over near-term (2019-2024) and unfavorably to all peers over long-term (2024-2029) revenue growth rates; the company also is expected to generate less than 8% of revenue from launch products in 2025, which again is lower than peer average.
- Astellas is forecast to hold revenue right above $12 billion until 2027. The company’s future growth will be determined by new launches such as Xospata and Evenity, while it will also gain from additional approvals for products such as Xtandi.
- Xtandi will remain blockbuster for years to come and will see significant growth until its US patent expiration in 2027.
- Oncology is expected to generate a substantial portion of the company’s revenue in the forecast period. Although the big-selling blockbusters in oncology are all more mature franchises, newer oncology therapies such as Xospata and Padcev are expected to contribute significantly in the long run.
- Astellas expects to generate a majority of its sales in the US, primarily due to the strength of Xtandi.
- Patents related to Astellas’ blockbuster products Myrbetriq and Xtandi will expire in 2021 and 2027, respectively.
- Astellas has filed an application for Xtandi in the EU for the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, which will further bolster its sales internationally.
- High-impact upcoming events comprise topline Phase III trial results, expected CHMP supplemental filing results, and an estimated supplemental CHMP opinion for Xtandi; and topline Phase III trial results for Cresemba.
- In April 2020, Astellas acquired Nanna Therapeutics, a UK-based biotech company focused on addressing age-related diseases with high unmet medical need including mitochondria-related diseases. With this acquisition, Nanna Therapeutics became a wholly owned subsidiary of Astellas.
