Valuation
We arrive at our 12-month price target of $15 for FOMX shares by using a blend of EV/
EBITDA, DCF and Bull-, Bear- and Base-case analysis.
Risks
There are larger, more-established companies with commercial products for the
treatment of dermatologic conditions. Therefore, FOMX could be unsuccessful in penetrating
the market. There are multiple treatment options currently available for the indications for
which FOMX is expecting to release its new drug candidates. Pricing, physician/patient uptake,
and superior characteristics over legacy players are factors that will affect market penetration.
Larger, more-established companies also have more resources to compete with if/when FOMX
brings new products to market.
FOMX plans to leverage its proprietary topical foam technology for future product
development programs and launches. There is a risk that this method will not be optimal for
treating other indications. Product development based off of one platform lacks diversity and
versatility to pivot in the case of failure. FOMX is looking to develop a product portfolio solely
based on its proprietary topical foam technology, and there is a risk that this technology will
not be suitable for multiple indications.
We are concerned that clinical trials, patent litigations, and the cost of day-to-day
operations will deplete available funds prior to the company reaching profitability.
Therefore, FOMX’s current reliance on raising funds to sustain operations is a risk. Any
delays or failures in clinical trial programs and/or adverse decisions regarding patent litigations
ongoing against Teva (TEVA: Neutral) and Perrigo (PRGO: OW) may cause FOMX to incur
unexpected costs. Because FOMX is not expected to generate revenue or be profitable in the
near term, this could be detrimental to its operational outlook. The company has incurred losses
since its inception, and it is challenging to foresee if funds will be available to sustain the
company to profitability.
