CP1 is bordering on breakeven, according to Pharmaceuticals analysts. They anticipate the company to incur a final loss in 2020, before generating positive profits of AU$4.0m in 2021. Therefore, CP1 is expected to breakeven roughly 2 years from now. What rate will CP1 have to grow year-on-year in order to breakeven on this date? Using a line of best fit, I calculated an average annual growth rate of 103%, which signals high confidence from analysts. Should the business grow at a slower rate, it will become profitable at a later date than expected.
Underlying developments driving CP1’s growth isn’t the focus of this broad overview, but, take into account that typically a pharma company has lumpy cash flows which are contingent on the drug and stage of product development the business is in. This means that a high growth rate is not unusual, especially if the company is currently in an investment period.
One thing I’d like to point out is that CP1 has no debt on its balance sheet, which is quite unusual for a cash-burning pharma, which usually has a high level of debt relative to its equity. CP1 currently operates purely off its shareholder funding and has no debt obligation, reducing concerns around repayments and making it a less risky investment.
