Immunocore amends senior notes indenture, files prospectus

Immunocore Holdings plc (NASDAQ:IMCR), a biotechnology firm specializing in biological products with a market capitalization of $1.44 billion and impressive revenue growth of 24.37% in the last twelve months, announced on Monday that it has entered into an agreement to amend the indenture for its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued at current market prices. The amendment, made with U.S. Bank Trust Company as trustee, introduces provisions related to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

In conjunction with this amendment, Immunocore has also filed a prospectus supplement for the resale of up to $150 million of these notes by certain securityholders, as well as the American Depositary Shares (ADSs) that are convertible from these notes. This filing was made under an effective registration statement previously submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company’s legal counsels, Cooley (UK) LLP and Cooley LLP, provided legal opinions regarding the legality of the securities, which are included in the current report as exhibits. The company maintains a strong financial position with a healthy current ratio of 4.38 and has received a "GOOD" financial health score from InvestingPro’s comprehensive analysis.

This move by Immunocore enables the named selling securityholders to resell their notes and the corresponding ADSs, which represent ordinary shares with a nominal value of £0.002 each. The ADSs are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, providing a mechanism for the conversion and resale of the notes in question.

Immunocore’s CEO, Bahija Jallal, Ph.D., has duly authorized the filing of this report, which is based on a press release statement. The company continues to focus on its core business of developing biological products within the healthcare sector, generating annual revenue of $310.2 million.

In other recent news, Immunocore Holdings reported its fourth-quarter 2024 earnings, revealing a significant miss on earnings per share (EPS) compared to analysts’ expectations. The company posted an EPS of -0.47, falling short of the forecasted -0.24, and revenue also came in slightly below expectations at $84.05 million against the anticipated $84.53 million. Despite this, Immunocore demonstrated robust growth in 2024, with total revenues reaching $310 million, marking a 30% increase year-over-year. Additionally, the company’s flagship product, KymTrak, achieved significant market penetration, contributing to a 34% rise in U.S. revenues.

In other developments, Immunocore shared promising results from its ongoing Phase 1/2 STRIVE trial for IMC-M113V, a potential functional cure for HIV. The trial data revealed that IMC-M113V was well tolerated and showed a dose-dependent reduction in the HIV active reservoir and viral control in some patients after pausing antiretroviral treatment. Analyst firms such as H.C. Wainwright and BTIG have maintained their Buy ratings on Immunocore, with price targets of $100 and $91, respectively, following these trial updates. Both firms expressed confidence in the potential of Immunocore’s therapies to influence the landscape of functional cures.

These recent developments underscore Immunocore’s ongoing efforts in advancing its clinical portfolio, including trials in melanoma and other areas, as well as its focus on expanding its community setting prescriptions and increasing R&D investments. The company continues to explore higher dose cohorts in its trials, aiming for extended post-treatment viral suppression and potential pivotal studies in the future.
