NicOx.... in attesa di.....

a chi puo' interessare..


(Tradingsat.com) - Après quelques prises de bénéfices en début de séance, l'action NicOx est repartie de l'avant, progressant de près de 3% à 4,35 euros à mi-séance. Le titre avait flambé la veille de 35% suite à l'annonce de la conclusion d'une option d'achat sur la société anglaise Altacor. Une opération présentée comme un premier pas dans la stratégie de transformation de NicOx en une société spécialisée en ophtalmologie, un marché en croissance estimé à plus de 16 milliards de dollars en 2010.

Elle est « stratégique et peu risquée » et « assure à Nicox un newsflow clinique et réglementaire étoffé pour 2012-2013 » souligne aujourd'hui Aurel BGC, confirmant sa recommandation « Acheter » et son objectif de cours de 2,9 euros sur la société de biotechnologie.

En effet, le portefeuille de produit en développement d'Altacor comprend d'une part ALT 005, un antiseptique pour les interventions chirurgicales oculaires, pour lequel une seconde étude de Phase III doit débuter cette année afin de permettre un dépôt du dossier aux USA et en Europe d'ici la fin de l'année. D'autre part, le marquage CE de Solo, une lentille intraoculaire, est prévu en 2012 pour la commercialisation en Europe, et un enregistrement ultérieur à la FDA pour le marché nord-américain. Toutefois, ces « produits sont déjà en partenariat » fait remarquer Aurel BGC.

Le broker note aussi que « les produits déjà commercialisés par Altacor n'ont pas un potentiel transformant pour Nicox » au vu de ventes de 660 000 livres sterling réalisées en 2011. Ainsi, Aurel BGC juge que « le chemin reste long ».
 
NEWS: Note EDISON sur NICOX 22.03.12
Investment summary: Viewing new opportunities

NicOx’s recovery from the major disappointments of 2010/11 in failing to gain regulatory approval for naproxcinod, is gathering momentum. Recently announced positive Phase IIb data for glaucoma candidate BOL-303259-X and an £11m proposed acquisition of UK ophthalmology specialist Altacor, has sparked a 130% share price gain inside 7 days and confirms NicOx’s fresh aspirations of becoming a fully integrated ophthalmology company. With €93m in cash, further ophthalmology asset deals are likely; securing the right ones is crucial to maintain momentum.

Altacor building block

Altacor is being acquired in a two-step process as NicOx tests investor sentiment towards its push into ophthalmology – the 35% one-day share price rise (adding ~€80m to NicOx’s market cap) indicates strong support. The initial £2m paid for an 11.8% share of privately-held Altacor is therefore likely to be followed by exercising of the call option by 31 May to acquire the remainder of Altacor for £9m.

Altacor’s maturing franchise

UK sales of Clinitas, a range of OTC and Rx dry eye products launched in 2007, reached £660k in 2011. ALT-005 is undergoing Phase III trials as an ocular surgical antiseptic, with EU and US (with an undisclosed partner) filings due by end 2012.
SOLO, a device used to insert intraocular lenses, is licensed (non-exclusive) to STAAR Surgical who will apply for CE approval in EU in H212. A further £8.5m is payable to Altacor on US filing and approval of ALT-005 and other pipeline events.

Nitric-oxide donations ongoing

NicOx’s core technology of adding nitric oxide to existing drugs, which failed to deliver with naproxcinod, is showing promise with BOL-303259-X, a nitric oxidedonated version of Pfizer’s blockbuster Xalatan. Positive Phase IIb data vs. Xalatan
triggered a $10m milestone from Bausch & Lomb who plan to start Phase III trials.

Valuation: Rapidly rising EV to €215m

Based on YE 2011 cash of €93m, NicOx’s enhanced EV of €215m now seems fair. Successful development of BOL-303259-X and further eye care asset deals are
crucial to maintain recent investor excitement, which have crystallised around NicOx’s opportunities in ophthalmology
