roche q1 2022 earnings call

Before we begin, let me briefly cover our Safe Harbor statement. Thanks. Its not city-wide and its not over yet, but I would say its drifting slowly towards opening overall. I have one question. Catastrophe losses representing 3.6% of net earned premium in Q1 2022, which compares favorably with our expected Q1 CAT load of 4.8%, and with the 11.5% catastrophe loss ratio we reported in the first quarter of last year. Were looking forward to it. Moreover, account retention continues to be exceptionally strong and exceed our expectations, underscoring the effectiveness of our account-focused strategy and the pricing flexibility that it provides. Happy to. We are committed to communicating relevant, clear, balanced and accurate information to our stakeholders. Available to answer your questions after our prepared remarks are Dick Lavey, President of Agency Markets; and Bryan Salvatore, President of Specialty Lines. It is very lumpy still - we dont have a lot of large, large customers, and there was some timing in some of that, and Wilson Wolf has seen some of that as well, as well as issues around clinical and finding patients, so things have softened a little but still more or less on track for what our schedule was for them. They did present a little bit of data that was encouraging, certainly showing pretty reasonable free exatecan levels in some tumor biopsies. I will provide an overview of our Q1 financial performance for the total company, provide some additional details on the performance of each of our segments, and give some thoughts on the remainder of the fiscal year. We were a bit robbed, we think. For us, when you look at the smaller purchase, what we call a run rate business which is lower dollar value, which is probably 80% of the purchases coming through, the growth in Q2 and continuing here in October continues to be mid-teens growth, particularly here in the U.S. Back to Chucks earlier point, its really the larger bulk purchases that had tougher comps and were more, call it soft this quarter and probably faced more competition with some of the supply chain breaks that were occurring in the larger dollar instrument purchases in terms of competing for dollars. Please see our Terms and Conditions for additional details, including our Obligatory Capitalized Disclaimers of Liability. Yes, sure. Yes, great question. So Asthika, from a gross to net perspective, as I mentioned on the call, we came in around 26.1% for Q3. With regards to that that does give us -- yes, it is encouraging, as I mentioned also with the fact that we had good momentum in September kind of coming out of the quarter. So dose escalation with XB002 continues at this point. We continued to see demand from protein therapeutics, gene therapy, and CRO CDMO customers particularly in North America and China, with a combined growth of over 20%. Media. So look, as Jack said, a good deal of our business comes from that, call it, that standalone placement. These new automated multiomic assays utilize both RNAscope and BaseScope signal applications to deliver best-in-class RNA sensitivity and specificity. Got it. Okay. Since normal tissues have low or no expression of the selected target, they do not take up the payload, minimizing side effects. Like I said, if these bounce back like we think - you know, they come on and they come off and they come back on, [indiscernible] more or less, that will help as well, so. So from an R&D expense guidance perspective, I mean, as I mentioned, it's primarily to reflect the two deals we announced today and then also just our continued investment in the pipeline throughout the fourth quarter. So obviously the better the data, the more likely we are to trigger any milestone that drives us to move forward with any collaboration. Just if you could provide an update, and when do you think that options agreement could materialize? I hope you feel better soon. Just curious about how you think about it from a product development standpoint. Please go ahead. I think really what it would come down to is the specific details of the toxicity profiles of the competitive environment, so to speak, or the standard of care in that particular setting. And the exact reasons for that, I think mechanistically aren't entirely clear. Each year Roche requires all its entities to provide data and information covering economic, social and environmental indicators, which are consolidated at the group level. But we track that by industry and really by job type to make sure that we are keeping up with the payrolls and looking at the loss trends in terms of how that hits our loss costs on the back end. Can you just elaborate a little bit on what the decision would be for you to go ahead and acquire CBX-12? I would now like to turn the conference over to Oksana Lukasheva. Please go ahead. Jim pointed out the numbers - were seeing hyper growth now, so were adding reps, weve added--Im not giving numbers, but we added 25% more reps this last two quarters, so were on fire. In addition to the ongoing geographic expansion, Asuragen has a rich product pipeline positioning the business for continued growth going forward. Yeah, with respect to Cybrexa, the way it's structured, right, that's an upfront payment. Great. The good news is that two-thirds of the costs in workers' comp are still medical payments versus indemnity payments. Investor updates. That was close there. We believe all of this taken together positions CABOMETYX for continued growth moving forward. On U.S. and ex-U.S. expansion, so from a U.S. perspective, as Vicki talked about we're expanding in King of Prussia and we'll eventually have a larger building there with both office for the development organization and other G&A type organizations, but also labs for discovery. We continue to seek, to attract and retain the best talent across both coasts to meet the needs of our growing pipeline. That's true in small commercial, as well as in middle market. Things have leveled out. Weve had no issues and everybody knows were steady and we can deliver, and our on-time delivery records are at record levels and were unique out there. And if that sort of correlates with the tumor type that Zyprexa is pursuing right, that delta in terms of pH from healthy to tumor cells? In addition to the expanding Maurice capabilities and applications, the platform is also gaining recognition for its environmentally friendly attributes. Bio-Techne Corporation (NASDAQ:NASDAQ:TECH) Q1 2023 Earnings Conference Call November 1, 2022 9:00 am ET Company Participants Chuck Kummeth - President, Chief Executive Officer Jim Hippel -. Thank you. So we're excited about this asset and eager to move it into expansion and ultimately, registrational trials. Thank you. That being said, we expect the continuation of inflationary pressures through the remainder of the year will likely cause us to deviate temporarily from our expectation of keeping the underlying loss ratio in Personal Auto below pre-pandemic levels in the second half of the year. Great. During the quarter, we added three new viral titer assays for the expanding menu of our automated multiplexing ELISA instrument, Ella, for intact AAV captive quantification and gene therapy research and development. This includes statements about possible developments regarding discovery, product development, regulatory, commercial, financial and strategic matters. So it's a really healthy balance of getting specialized business in the distribution directly, and then, also kind of a coordinated approach. Select historical financial information for 2019 through 2021 is available in the Investors section of our website, along with a supplemental presentation on our new reporting segments and additional descriptions and definitions. Please go ahead. In accordance with the GRI guidelines, we conduct a materiality assessment on key topics that are highly relevant to us and our key stakeholders. But the investments--you know, as Chuck mentioned earlier, we caught up in a big way in the second half of fiscal year 22, particularly in Q4 with our growth investments, and so its much more surgical in terms of the investments going forward as opposed to hire everyone you can kind of mentality, as it was the past couple years. Is that the accounts are getting worse so that it's harder to get them because of retention? With that overview, I'll now discuss our first quarter financial highlights and recent business performance, starting with Core Commercial. Thank you for attending today's presentation. We sustained healthy rate increases in the past and the renewal rates we are seeking are reasonable. Overall, we are very confident in the ability of our personal lines book to perform exceptionally well over the long term. Haley, our executive vice president of commercial; Vicki Goodman, our chief medical officer; and Peter Lamb, our chief scientific officer, who together will review our progress for the third quarter 2022 ended June 30, 2022, and subsequent events, including the two business development announcements made today. Q3. OK. Across the industry, new business flow and quality faced increasing challenges during the quarter, consistent with record retention levels, due in part to the industry-wide workforce constraints affecting independent agents. The next question will come from Peter Lawson with Barclays. First maybe on China, how much of an impact did lockdowns have in the quarter? So again, we're going to establish a dose to move quickly into expansion cohorts, see where we demonstrate activity and then plan to move quickly into registrational trials. Please go ahead. And I would assume that the next steps would be similar to what Cybrexa communicated, which was a phase 2 ovarian breast and non-small cell lung cancer as next steps, but just curious if you can elaborate there. As expected, our Auto loss ratio was slightly lower than the pre-pandemic first quarter of 2019, despite elevated property severity and we continued to benefit from lower claims frequency, which is holding at similar levels to the fourth quarter 2021. We are confident in our ability to manage prevailing market conditions supported by our talented team, our market-leading industry insight and our unparalleled data and analytic capabilities. We are also increasing insured values in response to higher materials inflation and labor costs which would further contribute to higher renewal premium increases and should help our loss performance in the latter part of the year. Thanks for taking my questions, and congrats on the quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign exchange impact partially offset by productivity gains. With robust severity assumptions built into our full year 2022 estimates and the benefit of additional pricing actions that will hit our Home results in the latter part of the year, notwithstanding the uncertain environment, we believe we will be able to achieve 2022 current accident year loss ratio in Home and Other, relatively in line with 2021 full year. Or where you stand in that process? How should we think about potentially achieving single activity with this target? Prior year reserve development was favorable in the quarter by $6 million, stemming from Specialty and Core Commercial. Finally, our diagnostics reagents business continued its streak of consistent growth quarters. Operating margin for the protein sciences segment was 43.0%, a decrease of 270 basis points year-over-year with productivity gains more than offset by the impact of foreign exchange, price versus inflation dynamics, the fiscal year 22 carryover of strategic investments to support future growth, and the Namocell acquisition. This concludes our question-and-answer session. If you look at that range versus where we are year to date, the top end of that or the middle to the top end of that range gives you growth for the next quarter. I just wanted a little bit of color there. OK. When combined with protein detection on Roches automated platform, researchers will be uniquely enabled to power translational and clinical research studies. We certainly see activity with 092 post cabozantinib in that setting. And we will continue to demonstrate our resilience and take advantage of the opportunities ahead, creating value over the long-term. Roche Holding AG (RHHBY) CEO Severin Schwan on Q4 2020 Results - Earnings Call Transcript. With that said our investment portfolio remains very well positioned. [Operator instructions] And the first question will come from Asthika Goonewardene with Truist Securities. This concludes our question-and-answer session. We have the next question from the line of Jacob Johnson with Stephens. Great. From a fixed income portfolio valuation perspective, this was a particularly impactful quarter due to the sharp increase in rates. We contribute to a number of the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its 169 specific targets within the sphere of our work. With regards to looking forward, I think Europe is still the biggest question mark. The teams been outstanding. So I think we have a lot of confidence and a lot of certainly record of success there. Thanks for taking the questions, and congrats on the quarter. Similar to Core Commercial, we continue to benefit from the earning in of rate increases in Specialty.

So Jeff, I know we briefly talked about the net investment income and I just wanted to know kind of going forward, are you planning on changing the investment profile to capture more of the increasing interest rates out there? In summary, we are advancing our mission to be the premier P&C company in the independent agency channel for the nation's best agents. The company also reported non-GAAP net income of approximately $102 million or $0.31 per share on a fully diluted basis. Yes, well, we were roughly 12 or more full points ahead of last quarter in growth, so were on our trek back. Just based on probably good data and we'll know it when we see it, so wouldn't want to pre-empt that now but obviously we're in the game of generating data that we can use to differentiate and build upon the platform that we've got to help patients. Etzer Darout -- BMO Capital Markets -- Analyst. I would say we probably don't share your view on timelines to successful implementation and execution around getting the pivotal trials, having those run and readout. And then second, the early data for CBX-12 was pretty interesting at ENA, interesting technology as well in terms of this pH dependency. Our first line combination patients, which have a profile of a longer duration of therapy as I mentioned, 9ER PFS in the ballpark of a year and a half, so those are kind of the two elements of growth as we see it. They wont all be done by us. Were seeing strong performance here early in October, but obviously the macro picture there is a bit cloudy for everyone, and thats something were keeping our eyes on that could--you know, that would be the one flag that could deter us from achieving double digit, if anything. We will begin today's call with prepared remarks from Jack Roche, our President and Chief Executive Officer; and Jeff Farber, our Chief Financial Officer. At the same time, approximately 25% of our customers now have an umbrella coverage, one of the most profitable coverages in Personal Lines, and this number continues to climb. Okay. So as I mentioned in the prepared remarks, we talked about having clinical trial sales of about $13 million in Q3. Thanks for taking the question, and let me add my congratulations on a nice quarter. Alan Hippe, Chief Financial and IT Officer, The test requires you to consent to targeting cookies. This resulted in a meaningful unfavorable change of about $380 million after tax in our net unrealized position. We are very pleased with the quality and performance of our personal lines book of business. I think I somewhat agree with your characterization. Were changing our message to lining up with Cal Ripken Jr. again, a lot of shows, but we are just ready to publish the next--the 2.5 year outcome study, which is like 1,000 patients. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes todays conference call. And when do you expect the dose escalation to complete? Thank you very much. We anticipate that partnership results in the second quarter might be influenced by declining public equity market multiples, as well as interest rate and spread volatility. What we've said and what we're seeing with regards to growth for CABOMETYX is a couple things. I think that's -- yeah, that's the intriguing part of the platform. We're going to launch those globally. We continue to educate the market on the advantages of TcBuster, and its worth noting that we have signed a handful of commercial licenses to support a growing pipeline of cell therapies, primarily for T-cell and NK cell therapies. Initial tumor biopsy assessments show delivery of CBX-12 and exatecan into the tumor. Looking beyond the six current U.S. indications for cabozantinib, we continue to plan for life cycle expansion opportunities as additional phase 3 studies read out in the near future. Now lets discuss the specifics of our quarter, starting with an overview of our performance by geography and end markets. Q1 2022 Presentation. Data from this trial was recently presented in the plenary session at the ENA triple meeting in Barcelona. I am particularly pleased that our company continues to deliver value for all of those who depend on us, while being recognized as a Leading Employer and Corporate Citizen by Forbes, Newsweek, The Human Rights Campaign Foundation and others. You'll hear more about these two deals from Peter shortly. SG&A expense was the primary driver of the decrease in total operating expenses, which was primarily related to lower legal and employee-related expenses. We are adding people and driving the pipeline and just getting out there, doing more with Wilson Wolfe and our scale ready team to try and get our stuff pulled in, focusing as much on regenerative medicine as we are in cell and gene therapy, because we are the leader in regen medicine for reagents whereas we arent in cell and gene therapy, and we have a lot of buy-in there. Some of the inflation severity impact in Q1 versus the prior year quarter may be less noticeable because of elevated large fire and non-CAT weather losses in Q1 2021. Awesome. We achieved this growth despite a slower summer for our business in Europe and continued, although improving, COVID-related shutdowns in China. Audio Replay. For Vicki, I was wondering if you could maybe give us given the run rate of events, when we could expect the next look at OS to take place for COSMIC-313? So our view is, we're doing BD on a pretty aggressive scale based upon the conviction we have in the asset pool that's available broadly within oncology, small midcap biopharma. Hey, Vicki, do you want to take that one? Business generated by our Prestige total account offering has grown nearly 70% over the last year and now represents over 8% of our total book. Please go ahead. It is well established that many tumors have an altered metabolism that results in them excreting lactic acid into the tumor microenvironment, thereby reducing the local pH. Our positive trajectory demonstrates the quality of our portfolio, as well as the robust strength of our enviable agency partnerships. I was curious if you could comment on any appetite for late stage BD deals and also congrats on the U.S. geographic expansion. We expect to see a sizable lift from fixed maturity net investment income in 2022 and an even more meaningful increase in 2023 and beyond. Is Chris, if you could elaborate on that commentary? Sure. I would like to I am sorry, we still have one more question that just popped in and that is from Bob Farnam with Boenning and Scattergood.

Q1 2022 Presentation with appendix. So we were certainly encouraged by that. Then Jim, maybe on the margin side, in spite of the top line being a little softer, you guys managed expenses pretty well. Calculated by Time-Weighted Return since 2002. I wanted to start off, Jim, can I confirm that you said you believe youll deliver double-digit growth for the balance of the year, and if thats the case, that would imply a bigger sequential step-up in Q2 than you typically achieve, so can you talk through the drivers? The information we have gleaned from our proprietary analytic tools indicates that our capabilities and approach open up approximately $45 billion of business opportunities in our targeted markets. Sometimes -- and it's a phenomenon as you rightly point out that's been seen with a number of not just TKIs, but drugs. Though we recognize it takes time for rate increases to have the desired effect, we believe we are in a trajectory to bring our profitability in Personal Lines back to target, top quartile return levels in 2023 from the slightly elevated loss ratio in 2022. Or is there something else you're seeing in demand or gross to net that keeps guidance at the lower level? So overall, I think we feel like we are outpacing the long-term loss trends. The increase in SG&A and R&D was driven by wage inflation and progress made in the second half of fiscal year 22 in building the team to support ongoing strategic growth investments. Hey guys, thank you for taking the questions. I think we're probably now thinking we're going to come in the range of 28% to 29% for the year. In October 2022, we announced promising initial dose escalation results from JEWEL-101, the ongoing phase 1 trial evaluating XB002 in patients with advanced solid tumors during the antibody-drug conjugates poster session at the 34th ENA Symposium. However, our differentiated distribution approach enabled us to stay focused on the superior opportunities presented by our product offerings and consolidation efforts. Our agreement with Sairopa provides us with another potential way of addressing this potentially impactful mechanism of action.

Our Small Commercial business delivered substantial growth in the quarter, up 10.3%, driven by strong pricing and retention, as well as the ongoing rollout of our industry-leading TAP sales quote and issue platform. DBS INVESTOR PRESENTATION EMAIL ALERTS. The loss ratio increase in Q1 2022 was mainly driven by higher loss cost severity due to labor and material price increases and continuing supply chain disruption, leading to higher repair costs, repair delays and anticipated increased supplemental payments on closed claims. Please register to access the replay of the webinar Organic growth for this segment was 3% with foreign exchange having an unfavorable impact of 3% and acquisitions contributing 1%. No. I would now like to turn the call over to David Clair, Bio-Technes Vice President, Investor Relations. We definitely had a softer quarter in Europe and some of it was vacation for us. The study highlights Maurices low sample and reagent volume requirements and built-in waster reservoir as environmentally attributes of the system. Cabo franchise revenue grew 39% year over year compared to third quarter 2021, marking its eighth consecutive quarter of growth. Sales to our academic end markets increased low single digits year-over-year but again were stronger in North America. Over the long-term, the interest rate environment is a substantial net positive for net investment income overall. We couldn't be more thrilled with our agents positive and enthusiastic response to our TAP sales platform. It's certainly interesting. And you'd expand that to go through 2023 as well, it's not a kind of a when [inaudible]. We are evaluating other additional indications including potential for early registration path and so certainly looking across a range of different solid tumors, I would say where we have data with cabo and given the shorter half-life of XL092, even looking at settings where we were unable to take cabo, as well as of course the novel combinations. But that's -- it's not a significant increase by any means. GrafTech International Ltd. (EAF) Q3 2022 Earnings Call Transcript. Second, we continued to advance the Exelixis development pipeline with new potential cabo indications and our growing pipeline of clinical compounds and additional candidates in nonclinical development. Weve got Humana but were after United and the rest of Blues and all these, and were knocking on the door.

Fractionation is a front-end step in mass spectrometry where the sample to be analyzed is separated into mixture components based on differences in their size, charge, or other characteristics. And I was wondering if you could talk about what you are seeing, what you are booking with regard to indemnity trends?

Please go ahead. Please go ahead. Please go ahead. Yaron, its Chris. As we talked about earlier, too, we've seen gross net come down quarter to quarter from Q1 to Q3. We continued to drive healthy price increases of 9.7% across our Core Commercial Book with rate up 6.3% for the quarter and retention near record levels. While our GMP small molecules business is relatively small today, it is growing rapidly, including over 100% for our first quarter, and has the potential to become a significant contributor to our overall cell and gene therapy business.
