Having established itself as a leading innovatorin pharmaceucal outsourcing forsmall molecule R&D, Evotec made an important step into the biologics market in 2019 with the acquision of Just Biotherapeucs ("Just Bio"). With biologics accounng for over half of the global pharmaceucal pipeline, the acquision provides accessto the lion's share of the $180bn drug development spend; synergies between Just Bio and EVT's established plaorm potenally doubling EVT's forecast revenues. EVT's capabilies now encompasssmall molecules, celltherapies(through IPSC), monoclonal anbodies, panomics capabilies, and ansense and recently gene therapies. This allows EVT to provide an unbiased, mul-modal, best in class drug development soluon to its EVT Execute biotech and pharma customers, and, with access to low cost capital, a powerful plaorm to drive proprietary development through EVT Innovate. We increase our target price ("TP") to €32 per share to beer capture the potenal upside from an integrated Just Bio and the addion of a new, proprietary biologics pipeline to be commercialised in the next 3 - 5 years.
