At its FY15 results Newron reported €0.5m (vs our €0.8m estimate) in royalties from commercial partner, Zambon after seven months of Xadago (Parkinson’s disease therapy) sales in Germany. So far in 2016 Zambon has also launched Xadago in Italy, Switzerland and Spain. The Xadago US PDUFA date is 29 March 2016, and a Xadago sublicensing deal in the US and a potential partnership for NW-3509 are on the cards. We have lowered our valuation slightly to CHF504m (vs CHF522m) primarily to reflect an increase in R&D expenses to support the mid-stage pipeline.
