Knight Therapeutics Inc.
Highlights from the RBC Healthcare Conference
TSX: GUD | CAD 8.43 | Outperform | Price Target CAD 9.50
Sentiment: Positive
Samira Sakhia, President & CEO of Knight Therapeutics Inc., presented at our conference this morning. Our discussion primarily
focused on: a) increased diversification of the business following the acquisitions completed last year, b) the company's pipeline
and organic growth, c) Knight as a preferred partner for licensing deals in LatAm. We rate Knight Outperform with a C$9.50 PT.
Increased diversification; revenue mix to become more balanced. Following the acquisitions of Paladin and the Sumitomo
portfolio completed last year, management highlighted the growing revenue contribution of Canada within the company's
geographic mix. Knight expects Canada to become the largest contributor to overall revenues by 4Q27/1Q28, and over time,
management expects Canada, Brazil, and Rest of LatAm to each contribute roughly equally to the revenue mix (vs. <10% from
Canada previously). The more balanced geographic exposure enables the company to be more selective in choosing which products
to launch and where, and also to execute more transactions. The Paladin acquisition has also enabled the company to invest stable
cash flows from Paladin's mature product portfolio behind new launches (3 new launches in 2024, 10 in 2025, and an additional
10 expected in 2026). The company's presence across 11 countries (Canada and Latin America) also allows it to leverage learning
from product launches in one geography to accelerate ramp-up in newer markets.
