BiVictriX Therapeutics Plc, a biotechnology company, engages in the development of cancer therapies in the United Kingdom. The UK£9.1m market-cap company’s loss lessened since it announced a UK£2.5m loss in the full financial year, compared to the latest trailing-twelve-month loss of UK£2.3m, as it approaches breakeven. Many investors are wondering about the rate at which BiVictriX Therapeutics will turn a profit, with the big question being “when will the company breakeven?” Below we will provide a high-level summary of the industry analysts’ expectations for the company.

BiVictriX Therapeutics is bordering on breakeven, according to some British Biotechs analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2024, before generating positive profits of UK£2.9m in 2025. The company is therefore projected to breakeven around 2 years from now. In order to meet this breakeven date, we calculated the rate at which the company must grow year-on-year. It turns out an average annual growth rate of 64% is expected, which is rather optimistic! Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.

We're not going to go through company-specific developments for BiVictriX Therapeutics given that this is a high-level summary, though, bear in mind that generally biotechs, depending on the stage of product development, have irregular periods of cash flow. So, a high growth rate is not out of the ordinary, particularly when a company is in a period of investment.

One thing we’d like to point out is that BiVictriX Therapeutics has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning biotech, which usually has a high level of debt relative to its equity. The company currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
