Voyager Therapeutics reports Q4 EPS 15c, consensus (32c) 03/08 VYGR Reports Q4 revenue $28.1M, consensus $14.55M. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2021 were $132.5M. This cash position does not include the $54M upfront payment Voyager is entitled to receive from Novartis as part of the Novartis license option agreement announced on March 8. "We're extremely pleased with the value created by our TRACER capsid discovery platform, evidenced by the two major license option agreements with Novartis and Pfizer for target-specific access to our highly differentiated capsids, which affords us the opportunity to expand the impact of our technology through external program development by our partners. The potential of our novel TRACER capsids to improve transduction in target tissues and to minimize off target toxicities associated with conventional AAV delivery may enable a new wave of gene therapies to treat serious diseases," said Michael Higgins, interim CEO of Voyager. "We've also made important additions to our leadership team with Al Sandrock joining our Board and its Executive Committee, and the promotion of Robin Swartz to chief operating officer. We continue to leverage our proprietary AAV capsids to progress our pipeline and look forward to sharing new preclinical data from select programs and our TRACER platform at a medical conference this spring."
