Too much cash to put to work at consistently high rates. Canadian pharma market is not that big. If he doesn't buy Paladin back, or some large assets off of Valeant, it will take them 5+ years to put all that money to work on good deals. The cash will just be sitting idle for so long the total shareholder return wont be very impressive.

 

If I had the opportunity to buy in at book value of Jonathan starting a company with $50m of cash, I would do it all day. The same opportunity at $1 billion is not quite as appealing.

 

His first ~$50 million will be put to work at very high returns, but there are only so many deals. The weighted average return will be significantly dragged down if you are trying to put $1 billion to work.

Maybe you are right Drokos and we should sell. That said I think I will be patient. Very patient.

This is down near 52 week lows.  It is sitting at $7.82 and they raised capital a year ago at $10.  I don't see anything too negative happening.  The situation just "seems" stagnant and I think investors are getting bored. 

 

It is sitting at about 1.1x book.  It feels like a reasonable multiple given they are only about 25% capital deployed.  However, compared to the rest of the market this seems like a safer way to get a decent rate of return.

https://globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/07/06/1534131/0/en/Knight-Receives-Adverse-Notice-of-Reassessment-from-CRA.html

 

MONTREAL, July 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Knight Therapeutics Inc. (TSX:GUD) ("Knight"), a leading Canadian specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today that it has received a notice of reassessment ("CRA Notice") from the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The CRA Notice relates to the disposition of the Priority Review Voucher ("PRV") granted on March 19, 2014, upon the US Food & Drug Administration's ("FDA") approval of Impavido®.  The PRV was disposed of by Knight's wholly-owned subsidiary, Knight Therapeutics (Barbados) Inc. ("KTB"), to a third party in November 2014 for gross proceeds of US$125 million. The proceeds have contributed to the development of the business operations of KTB, including the out-licensing of Impavido®, as well as business development strategies designed to acquire additional pharmaceutical product rights. The CRA Notice provides that Knight is liable to pay to the CRA an aggregate of $23.3 million in additional taxes and interest. It is likely that the Quebec Revenue Agency ("QRA") will propose a similar adjustment which will result in an estimated additional tax liability of $19.0 million increasing the total additional taxes, interest and penalties to $42.3 million ("Total Tax Liability").

 

Knight believes that the CRA Notice is unfounded and intends to contest vigorously the CRA Notice by filing a notice of objection to start the appeals process. However, there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of the appeals process or when a resolution may be reached. In connection with the appeals process, Knight has made a deposit of $23.3 million to the CRA and will make an estimated deposit of $19.0 million to QRA. Knight has not recorded any tax provision for the Total Tax Liability in its financial statements. Although Knight believes its tax provisions are adequate, the final determination of tax audits and any related disputes could be materially different from historical income tax provisions and accruals.

Knight Therapeutics Announces Canadian Regulatory Approval for ILUVIEN®

 

MONTREAL, Nov. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Knight Therapeutics Inc. (TSX:  GUD) ("Knight"), a leading Canadian specialty pharmaceutical company, today announced that Health Canada has approved ILUVIEN® for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME). ILUVIEN is a fluocinolone acetonide sustained release non-biodegradable intravitreal implant used to treat DME in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure. Knight entered into an exclusive Canadian agreement for ILUVIEN with Alimera Sciences, Inc. ("Alimera") in July 2015.

 

"The approval of ILUVIEN is great news for Canadian DME patients, payors and healthcare providers. ILUVIEN represents a well-studied, proven effective treatment for DME patients who can benefit from CONTINUOUS MICRODOSING without the burden of frequent injections," said Jonathan Ross Goodman, CEO of Knight. "We are eager to work with all payors and stakeholders across Canada to make ILUVIEN available to Canadian patients."

 

"We are excited that ILUVIEN has received approval by Health Canada," said Dan Myers, CEO of Alimera. "ILUVIEN is the only treatment approved in Canada with CONTINUOUS MICRODOSING that can treat DME every day for up to three years with a single implant. We look forward to working with Knight to make ILUVIEN available to Canadian patients." 

 

About ILUVIEN

 

www.ILUVIEN.com

 

ILUVIEN (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant) 0.19 mg is a sustained release intravitreal implant approved in the U.S. and Canada to treat diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure. Each ILUVIEN implant is designed to release submicrogram levels of fluocinolone acetonide, a corticosteroid, for 36 months to treat DME.

 

ILUVIEN has also received marketing authorization approvals in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic diabetic macular edema (DME), considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies. ILUVIEN is available commercially in the U.S., Germany, the U.K., Austria, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and the U.A.E.

 

About Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)

 

DME, the primary cause of vision loss associated with diabetic retinopathy, is a disease affecting the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. When the blood vessel leakage associated with diabetic retinopathy results in swelling of the macula, the condition is called DME. The onset of DME is painless and may go unreported by the patient until it manifests with the blurring of central vision or acute vision loss. The severity of this blurring may range from mild to profound loss of vision. The Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy found that over a 10-year period approximately 19% of people with diabetes included in the study were diagnosed with DME. All people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes are at risk of developing DME.

Knight Therapeutics Runs with Exclusive Canadian License to Puma's NERLYNX®

 

MONTREAL, Jan. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Knight Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: GUD) ("Knight"), a Canadian specialty pharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, in-licensing, selling and marketing innovative prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products, today announced it has entered into an exclusive License Agreement with Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBYI) ("Puma") granting Knight the exclusive right to commercialize NERLYNX® (neratinib) in Canada.

 

Puma filed a New Drug Submission for NERLYNX® with Health Canada in July 2018 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer following adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy. Under the terms of the License Agreement, Knight will be responsible for all commercial activities and future regulatory submissions for NERLYNX® in Canada. Puma will receive upfront and milestone payments up to $7.2 million USD throughout the term of this agreement, as well as double digit royalties on net sales of NERLYNX® in Canada.

 

"We are excited to partner with Puma to offer a new treatment option to Canadian breast cancer patients," said Jonathan Ross Goodman, Chief Executive Officer of Knight. "While adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of recurrence in early stage HER2-positive breast cancer, up to 25% of patients treated with adjuvant trastuzumab will have a recurrence. NERLYNX® has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of recurrence in those patients who were previously treated with trastuzumab."

 

"Our new agreement with Knight demonstrates our commitment to bringing NERLYNX® to patients around the world while continuing to focus our commercial resources on the U.S. market," stated Alan H. Auerbach, Chief Executive Officer and President of Puma. "We are confident this new partnership will help patients in Canada access NERLYNX® at the earliest opportunity."

 

About NERLYNX®

 

NERLYNX® is potent irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor that blocks signal transduction through the epidermal growth factor receptors, HER1, HER2 and HER4.  NERLYNX® was approved by the FDA in the United States in July 2017 for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage HER2-positive breast cancer following adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy. In September 2018, NERLYNX® was approved by the European Commission for the extended adjuvant treatment of adult patients with early stage hormone receptor positive HER2-overexpressed/amplified breast cancer and who are less than one year from the completion of prior adjuvant trastuzumab based therapy. NERLYNX® is a registered trademark of Puma Biotechnology, Inc. For more information about Puma, please visit the corporate website at www.pumabiotechnology.com.

It is good to see. 

 

Canada is 1/9 the size of the US, so maybe $25-30m sales potential here?  The agreement says double digit royalty payments, so after they  pay out milestones maybe 75-80% or $20-24m  gross margin once they build it out.  It will definitely help.  They are already not much over book so you would be getting those royalty payments at about 4x EBITDA and any future developments plus their in-progress products for free.
