Scynexis: Update Following Restructuring Of GSK Deal

Summary Scynexis stock price has resumed the downtrend following a restructuring of the GSK deal associated with considerable reduction of pending milestones. SCYX ended 2023 with $98M, but is still trading at a $54M market cap. Cash runway is beyond 2 years, not accounting for pending milestones. Just the milestones from delivery of readouts to GSK and resumption and progress of MARIO trial are expected to cover all 2024 operating expenses. SCYX stock is undervalued in the short/medium term, but its long-term success is unclear considering emerging competition and pipeline limited to SCY-247. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Scynexis: Uninvestible At This Point, Downgrading To A Sell Rating

Summary SCYX has a commercial antifungal Brexafemme. However, we are neutral on its commercial potential as discussed in our previous article. No big pharma deal materialized, and the company raised USD45M through pre-funded warrant offerings. The drug's true upside is in systemic fungal infection; however, catalysts are expected in 2024-2025 at the earliest making the stock uninvestible at this time. We downgrade SCYX to a sell rating. Background As described in detail in our initiation of coverage, we have established an option size position on SCYX based on a potential big pharma M&A and undoubtedly cheap valuation (negative EV) of the company. However, with the recent messy financing deal (described in detail below) and lack of near-term clinical catalyst, we decided to sell out of the position and downgrade the stock. Our rationale is described below. Catalysts are expected in 2024-2025 the earliest The absence of short-term catalysts makes it un-investible for short-mid-term investors in our view. We think the major value driver of the stock is in the systemic infection space, where the catalysts are expected in 2024-2025 (as shown below). Of note, the company announced that the FDA has accepted SCYX's submission of a supplemental New Drug Application regarding label expansion of BREXAFEMME to include "prevention of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis" and the target PDUFA date is Nov 2022. We believe the label extension is fully priced in and any positive news will be a selling opportunity for this ticker. SCYX Homepage Messy pre-funded warrants make SCYX uninvestible in our view SCYNEXIS priced its earlier announced underwritten public offering of 3.33M shares of its common stock, prefunded warrants to purchase 11.67M shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15M shares of its common stock with gross proceeds expected to be ~$45M. The shares and warrants are being sold at $3.00/share and pre-funded warrants are offered at $2.999/pre-funded warrant and accompanying warrants. Underwriters over-allotment is an additional 2.25M of shares and/or warrants to purchase up to 2.25M shares of common stock. The warrants have a seven-year term and an exercise price of $3.45/share. -Source: Seeking Alpha News April 22 The company has a long history of raising capital through messy warrants which caused the stock to tank even after the approval of Brexafemme in June 2021 (as shown below); we believe the same thing is likely to happen with any positive catalyst making the stock uninvestible. Warrants could be a catastrophe as warrant holders can start exercising their warrants and sell into the market when a stock price move above a certain level and the exercised shares were sold into the market killing the share price. SCYX data by YCharts We believe the likelihood of a potential M&A has dropped considerably at this point.

FDA accepts Scynexis' application to expand label for vaginal yeast infections treatment

Scynexis (NASDAQ:SCYX) on Monday said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had accepted the biotech's supplemental new drug application (sNDA) to expand the label of its Brexafemme tablets to include the prevention of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis. Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a type of yeast infection caused by the fungus candida which affects the vagina and the vulva. The company said the FDA had granted the sNDA submission a priority review and was set to decide on it by Nov. 30, or the so-called Prescription Drug User Fee Act date. Brexafemme is already approved to treat VVC. Recurrent VVC would be its second indication.

SCYNEXIS gains after favorable data for antifungal agent in new indication

SCYNEXIS (NASDAQ:SCYX) added ~8% in the morning hours Tuesday after the commercial-stage pharma company announced promising Phase 3 data for its oral antifungal medication ibrexafungerp in patients with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC). According to the data from the 24-patient CANDLE sub-study, ibrexafungerp, an FDA-authorized therapy for vulvovaginal candidiasis, has led to clinical benefits in RVVC patients who failed to respond to another antifungal therapy called fluconazole. After one day of ibrexafungerp (300 mg BID) treatment, 71% of RVVC patients (17 of 24) were found to have a significant reduction or elimination of signs and symptoms. Additionally, these results were replicated in a subset of patients who also demonstrated positive fungal cultures post-fluconazole treatment. In this 10-patient subgroup, 80% were found to have a favorable clinical response after one-day ibrexafungerp therapy. In June, SCYNEXIS (SCYX) announced the submission of its marketing application for the label expansion of ibrexafungerp in the prevention of RVVC. The supplemental New Drug Application was backed by data from the pivotal Phase 3 CANDLE, which indicated 65% clinical success for the treatment compared to ~53% for the placebo.

SCYNEXIS, Inc.: Speculative Buy, Michael Burry Sold, But I Am Buying

We are initiating Scynexis with a target price of USD 23 per share. SCYX offers an extremely attractive set up with 600% upside and limited downside (10-15%) considering its near cash. SCYX's Brexafemme is clinically de-risked and targets an attractive fungal infection space. Even though we expect muted uptake during 2022, we project 200M-400M peak sales within 5 years. The critical inflection point for the stock will be a business development activity from Big Pharma, not near-term earnings. The company has 100M cash, but has a high cash burn rate of around 50M/year and will likely need to raise 50-100M soon to fund its phase 3 trials. Considering close to cash value EV, we view BD activity as more likely and a public offering.
