Deciphera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCPH), a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing important new medicines to improve the lives of people with cancer, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 and provided a corporate update.

“We are exceptionally proud of the progress we made across our pipeline in 2022, which has set the stage for continued growth and momentum in 2023 for our commercial, clinical, and preclinical programs. We are well positioned to achieve our goals thanks to our strong balance street, which was bolstered by our recent financing that extended our cash runway into 2026,” said Steve Hoerter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Deciphera Pharmaceuticals. “As QINLOCK® continues to become the standard-of-care treatment for fourth-line GIST around the world, we are excited to initiate the INSIGHT pivotal Phase 3 study later this year, which seeks to build upon the substantial clinical benefit in second-line GIST patients harboring mutations in KIT exon 11 and 17/18 that we observed in the ctDNA analysis from our INTRIGUE study. We believe that with an expanded indication in the second-line setting, QINLOCK and vimseltinib in TGCT combined represent a peak global revenue opportunity of over one billion dollars. We now expect to complete enrollment in vimseltinib’s MOTION pivotal Phase 3 study in the first quarter of 2023, bringing us one step closer to becoming a company with multiple approved medicines.”

The public offering price of each share of common stock was $18.00. The aggregate gross proceeds to Deciphera from this offering were approximately $143.7 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results

  • Revenue: Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $36.3 million, which includes $32.9 million of net product revenue of QINLOCK and $3.4 million of collaboration revenue compared to $24.2 million of total revenue, including $23.7 million of net product revenue of QINLOCK and $0.5 million of collaboration revenue, for the same period in 2021. Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $134.0 million, which includes $125.5 million of net product revenue of QINLOCK and $8.5 million of collaboration revenue compared to $96.1 million of total revenue, including $87.4 million of net product revenue of QINLOCK and $8.8 million of collaboration revenue, for the same period in 2021. International and total net product revenue for the fourth quarter includes a one-time reserve for QINLOCK product sales in Germany due to a change in German law effective as of November 2022 shortening the free pricing period retroactively to six months from twelve months.
  • Cost of Sales: Cost of sales were $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, which includes $0.7 million in cost of product sales, compared to cost of product sales of $0.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, cost of sales were $8.7 million, including $2.7 million in cost of product sales, compared to cost of sales of $2.9 million in 2021, including cost of product sales of $1.3 million. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sales of zero cost inventories of QINLOCK that had been expensed prior to FDA approval.
  • R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $48.1 million, compared to $74.9 million for the same period in 2021, and $187.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $257.0 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower clinical study costs related to QINLOCK, including the Phase 3 INTRIGUE study and the Phase 1 study, the discontinuation of the rebastinib program following the corporate restructuring implemented in the fourth quarter of 2021, partially offset by an increase in clinical study costs related to the Phase 3 study of vimseltinib and the Phase 1/2 study of DCC-3116. Non-cash, stock-based compensation was $22.2 million and $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
  • SG&A Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $32.2 million, compared to $37.2 million for the same period in 2021 and $120.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $136.3 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel-related costs and professional and consultant fees. Non-cash, stock-based compensation was $29.7 million and $25.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
  • Net Loss: For the fourth quarter of 2022, Deciphera reported a net loss of $45.9 million, or $0.60 per share, compared with a net loss of $88.4 million, or $1.51 per share, for the same period in 2021. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $178.9 million, or $2.37 per share, compared with a net loss of $300.0 million, or $5.16 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2021.
  • Cash Position: As of December 31, 2022, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $339.0 million, compared to $327.6 million as of December 31, 2021. Based on its current operating plans, Deciphera expects its current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities together with anticipated product, royalty, and supply revenues, and the net proceeds from our underwritten public offering completed in January 2023, but excluding any potential future milestone payments under its collaboration or license agreements, will enable the Company to fund its operating and capital expenditures into 2026.
