MANAGEMENT REPORT
| 1. | MAIN EVENTS IN THE SIX MONTHS OF 2021 |
FIRST QUARTER OF 2021
We refer to our Q1 2021 press release.
SECOND QUARTER OF 2021AND RECENT BUSINESS UPDATE
“The first half of 2021 has been marked by clinical, financial and regulatory achievements for argenx. As we look toward 2022, we are well-positioned to build on the impressive progress we have made with our first-in-class FcRn antagonist, efgartigimod. We are expanding our commercial organization to reach patients living with generalized myasthenia gravis this year and know that these investments will benefit us in the future and support our growing, differentiated pipeline,” said Tim Van Hauwermeiren, Chief Executive Officer of argenx.
“Beyond myasthenia gravis, we are expanding the breadth of efgartigimod into our fifth and sixth indications, myositis and bullous pemphigoid and simultaneously investing in scientific breakthroughs through our Immunology Innovation Program (IIP). Our first-in-class C2 inhibitor, ARGX-117, emerged from the IIP and has the potential to be our next pipeline-in-a-product opportunity. Collectively, the demonstrated execution this year supports our ‘argenx 2025’ vision and brings us closer than ever to becoming a global, integrated, immunology company,” concluded Mr. Van Hauwermeiren.
During its July 20th R&D Day, argenx introduced its long-term vision to becoming a global, integrated immunology organization. The ‘argenx 2025’ vision includes:
| - | Efgartigimod being globally available to patients across its three expanding commercial franchises in neuromuscular diseases, hematology and dermatology |
| - | Efgartigimod commercially available or in clinical development in 15 active indications |
| - | Progress across broader immunology pipeline with ARGX-117 in multiple late-stage trials and ARGX-119 demonstrating proof-of-concept |
| - | Investment in continued expansion of differentiated pipeline through immunology innovation program, generating one new asset into pipeline each year |
On track with buildout of global commercial organization in anticipation of potential approval of efgartigimod for treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG)
| - | Biologics License Application (BLA) under review with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with target action date of December 17, 2021 under Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) |
| o | Marketing Authorization Application (J-MAA) under review with Japan’s Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) with anticipated approval in half of 2022 |
| o | MAA on track to be filed with European Medicines Agency (EMA) in second half of 2021 |
| o | Zai Lab on track with regulatory discussions with National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for approval in China |
| - | ADAPT Phase 3 trial results of efgartigimod for treatment of gMG published in Lancet Neurology |
| - | Hiring of salesforce to be completed in the U.S. in third quarter of 2021 and in Japan in fourth quarter of 2021 |
2
| o | Ongoing engagement with gMG patient community through marketing and advocacy efforts, including award-winning docuseries “A Mystery to Me”, and continued enrollment into real-world evidence study, MyRealWorld®MG |
Efgartigimod is currently being evaluated in five ongoing registrational trials across four indications, including ADAPT-SC (gMG), ADHERE (chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy or CIDP), ADVANCE (IV) and ADVANCE-SC (primary immune thrombocytopenia or ITP), and ADDRESS (pemphigus)
| - | Completion of enrollment expected by end of 2021 in ADAPT-SC and ADVANCE (IV); topline data in both trials expected in first half of 2022 |
| - | Broadened efgartigimod opportunity with announcement of new indications, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (myositis) within neuromuscular franchise and bullous pemphigoid within dermatology franchise |
| o | Phase 2/3 trial of efgartigimod for treatment of myositis to start by end of 2021, pending interactions with FDA |
| o | Phase 3 registrational trial of efgartigimod for treatment of bullous pemphigoid to start by end of 2021 |
| - | Phase 2 proof-of-concept trials of efgartigimod in additional indications to be evaluated as part of collaboration with Zai Lab |
Phase 1 healthy volunteer data of C2-inhibitor, ARGX-117, support path forward into multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN)
| - | Favorable safety profile demonstrated across single and multiple ascending doses and both IV and SC formulations |
| - | Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profiles demonstrate potential for infrequent dosing schedules |
| - | Phase 2 trial of MMN patients on track to start by end of 2021 |
Immunology Innovation Program (IIP) continues to bring value to argenx as internal pipeline programs or through partnerships and licensing agreements
| - | ARGX-119, a SIMPLE AntibodyÔ aimed at boosting neuromuscular junction in disease, emerging from IIP to be next pipeline candidate within neuromuscular franchise |
| - | Regained worldwide rights to anti-CD70 antibody cusatuzumab from Janssen; argenx to evaluate alternatives to advance cusatuzumab through partnership |
| - | 15-20 discovery programs under evaluation at any point in time that have emerged from IIP |
| 2. | FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS |
As of January 1, 2021, the Company changed its functional and presentation currency from euro to U.S. dollars, which results in reporting financial highlights in U.S. dollar as compared to euro in prior periods. Historical financials have been converted at the average exchange rate of the related period.
Cash, cash equivalents and current financial assets totaled $2,731.0 million as of June 30, 2021, compared to $1,996.5 million on December 31, 2020. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and current financial assets resulted primarily from (i) the closing of a global offering, which resulted in the receipt of $1,092.1 million in net proceeds in February 2021, (ii) the net receipt of a $73.1 million non-creditable, non-refundable development cost-sharing payment received from Zai Lab as part of the strategic collaboration for efgartigimod in Greater China, (iii) the payment of $98.0 million related to the purchase of the priority review voucher from Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, and other net cash flows used in operating activities.

Total operating income increased by $453.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $487.5 million, compared to $34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the recognition of the transaction price as a consequence of the termination of the collaboration agreement with Janssen, resulting in the recognition of $315.1 million and the closing of the strategic collaboration for efgartigimod with Zai Lab, resulting in the recognition of $151.9 million in collaboration revenue.
Research and development expenses increased by $84.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $273.9 million, compared to $189.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the first six months of 2021 resulted primarily from higher external research and development expenses, mainly related to the efgartigimod program in various indications and other clinical and preclinical programs. Furthermore, the research and development personnel expenses increased due to a planned increase in headcount and the increased costs of the share-based payment compensation plans related to the grant of stock options.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $129.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $67.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase resulted primarily from higher personnel expenses, including the costs of the share-based payment compensation plans related to the grant of stock options, and consulting fees linked to the preparation of a possible future commercialization of argenx’s lead product candidate efgartigimod.
The change in fair value on non-current financial assets amounted to $11.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, which is the result of the closing of a Series B financing round of AgomAb Therapeutics, for which argenx maintains a profit share in exchange for granting the license for the use of HGF-mimetic antibodies from the SIMPLE AntibodyTM platform.
Exchange losses totaled $18.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to an exchange gain of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As a result of the change in the Company’s functional and presentation currency, the exchange losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are reflecting the unfavorable change in euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate, mainly attributable to unrealized exchange rate losses on cash, cash equivalents and current financial asset position in euro.
| 3. | FINANCIAL GUIDANCE |
Based on current plans to fund anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures, argenx continues to expect its 2021 cash burn to approximately double from 2020. The increased spend will support the Company’s transition to an integrated immunology company, including the build-out of global commercial infrastructure and drug product inventory ahead of the expected launch of efgartigimod in gMG in the U.S, the advancement of its clinical-stage pipeline, including expected global trials of efgartigimod in six indications, and the continued investment in its Immunology Innovation Program.
| 4. | RISK FACTORS |
We refer to the description of risk factors in the 2020 annual report, pp. 14-48 as supplemented by the description of risk factors in our annual report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, pp. 2-45. In summary, the principal risks and uncertainties faced by us relate to: our financial position and need for additional capital, development and clinical testing of our product candidates, commercialization of our product candidates, our business and industry, our dependence on third parties, intellectual property, our organization and operations, and the ADSs.
We also refer to the description of our financial risk management given in the 2020 annual report, pp. 289-292, which remains valid.

2. Impacts of COVID-19 on our business
The current unprecedented challenges as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak have impacted how we operate. We have been taking, and continue to take, the necessary steps in terms of safety, risk mitigation, and financial measures to best manage through these challenging times. We have currently experienced limited impact on our financial performance and financial position, although we continue to face additional risks and challenges associated with the impact of the outbreak.
3. | Basis of preparation |
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the European Union. The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
All amounts herein are presented in thousands of $, unless otherwise indicated, rounded to the nearest $ ‘000.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on July 27, 2021.
4. | Significant accounting policies |
There were no significant changes in accounting policies, critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty applied by us in these unaudited condensed interim financial statements compared to those used in the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, except for the changes below:
Financial Instruments – non-current Financial Assets
The Company holds investments in non-current financial assets, which based on IFRS 9, are either designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss or financial assets at fair value through OCI. The fair value of listed investments is based upon the closing price of such securities at each reporting date. If there is no active market for an equity instrument, the Company establishes the fair value by using valuation techniques.
Based on IFRS 9, the Company irrevocably elected to designate specific investments as a financial asset at fair value through OCI as the participation is not held for trading purposes nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Functional and Presentation Currency
12
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of our entities are valued using the currency of their economic environment in which the entity operates. As of January 1, 2021, the consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Company’s presentation currency.
Financial Statements of Foreign Entities
As of January 1, 2021, for foreign entities using a different functional currency than USD:
| ● | assets and liabilities for each consolidated statements of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position. |
| ● | income and expenses for each statement presenting profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions). |
| ● | all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. |
Change in functional and presentation currency as of January 1, 2021
As of January 1, 2021, the Company changed its functional and presentation currency from EUR to USD. The change in functional currency was made to reflect that USD has become the predominant currency in the Company, representing a significant part of the Company’s cash flows and financing. The change has been implemented with prospective effect.
The change in presentation currency, effective January 1, 2021, from EUR to USD is retroactively applied on comparative figures according to IAS 8 and IAS 21, as if USD had always been the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements. The change was made to reflect that USD is the predominant currency for the Company, and better reflects the economic footprint of the Company’s business going forward. The Company believes that the presentation currency change will give investors and other stakeholders a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance over time.
Comparison figures in the consolidated interim statement of financial position, the consolidated statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows, all condensed and unaudited, and disclosures have been re-presented, unless otherwise stated, using the procedures outlined below:
| ● | Assets and liabilities are translated into USD at the closing rates applicable at the end of each reporting period. |
| ● | Income and expenses are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the respective transaction or average rates where these are a suitable proxy. |
| ● | Differences resulting from the re-presentation have been presented as translation difference, a component within shareholders’ equity. |
| ● | Share capital, share premium, and other reserves are translated at historic rates prevailing at the date of transaction. |

Below is a summary of the key changes to our collaborations:
Zai Lab
On January 6, 2021, argenx and Zai Lab announced the License agreement for the development and commercialization of efgartigimod in Greater China, granting Zai Lab the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize efgartigimod in Greater China.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company may receive up to $175 million in collaboration payments, comprised of a $75 million upfront payment in the form of 568,182 newly issued Zai Lab shares calculated at a price of $132 per share, $75 million as guaranteed non-creditable, non-refundable payment, received in the first six months ended June 30, 2021, and an additional $25 million milestone payment upon approval of efgartigimod in the U.S. The Company is also eligible to receive tiered royalties (mid-teen to low twenties on a percentage basis) based on annual net sales of efgartigimod in Greater China.
16
With regard to this collaboration with Zai Lab:
| ● | The Company concluded there are two performance obligations under IFRS 15, being the transfer of a license and the at arms-length supply of clinical and commercial product. The Company concluded that these performance obligations are distinct in the context of the contract. |
| ● | The Company concluded that the Subscription Shares granted by Zai Lab, as included in the Share Issuance Agreement, entered into on January 6, 2021, was obtained because of the existing obligations under the terms of the Collaboration and License Agreement, and is therefore to be considered to be part of the overall consideration received. |
| ● | The transaction price of these two agreements is currently composed of a fixed part, that being an upfront payment of $75 million in the form of newly issued Zai Lab shares, and a $75 million guaranteed, non-creditable, non-refundable payment and a contingent part, being the $25 million milestone upon approval of efgartigimod in the U.S. and the consideration received in return for the supply of clinical and commercial product. Milestone payments are only included in the transaction price to the extent it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognition will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the contingent consideration is subsequently resolved. We estimate the amount to be included in the transaction price upon achievement of the milestone event or the supply of clinical and commercial product. Sales-based milestones and sales-based royalties are a part of the Company’s arrangements but are not yet included in its revenue. |
| ● | The fixed part of the transaction price, as well as the $25 million milestone upon approval of efgartigimod in the U.S. has been allocated to the transfer of a license performance obligation. |
| ● | The Company concludes that the license as of the effective date of the contract has standalone value. As such, the Company concluded that the promise in granting the license to Zai is to provide a right to use the entity’s intellectual property as it exists at the point in time at which the license is granted and therefore, revenue accrued has been recognised at a point in time. This conclusion was reached, taking into account following aspects: |
| o | there are no material restrictions included in the contract which would prevent Zai Lab to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits, within the Territory and considering the sales-based royalties which become due to the Company upon successful commercialisation |
| o | the current phase of efgartigimod, successfully completed the Phase III trials. |
Janssen
On June 4, 2021, the Company received a termination notification from Cilag GmbH International, an affiliate of Janssen, which results in the termination of the Collaboration Agreement to jointly develop and commercialize cusatuzumab. As a result the Company regains the worldwide rights to its anti-CD70 antibody cusatuzumab.
Under the terms of the agreement, Janssen committed to an upfront payment of $500 million consisting of a license payment of $300 million and a $200 million equity investment in the Company by subscribing to 1,766,899 new shares at a price of €100.02 per share, including an issuance premium. In December 2019, the Company achieved the first development milestone, triggering a $25.0 million payment.
With regard to this collaboration with Janssen, the Company concluded as follows:
| ● | There was one single performance obligation under IFRS 15, that being the transfer of a license combined with performance of research and development activities. The Company concluded that the license is not distinct in the context of the contract. |
17
| ● | The Company concluded that the share premium that Janssen paid above the closing price on the day of entering into the investment agreement (being December 2, 2018) was paid because of the existing obligations to deliver development services under the terms of the collaboration agreement, and was therefore considered to be part of the overall consideration received. |
| ● | The transaction price of these two agreements composed of a fixed part, that being an upfront license fee, and a variable part, being milestone payments and cost reimbursements of research and development activities delivered. |
| ● | The transaction price was allocated to the single performance obligation and revenue was previously recognized over the estimated service period based on a pattern that reflects the transfer of the license and progress to complete satisfaction of the research and development activities. |
Following the receipt of the termination notification and as of June 30, 2021, the Company concluded that it has substantially satisfied the performance obligation, and as a consequence, recorded $315.1 million of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Non-current financial assets – Level 3
In March 2019, the Company entered into a license agreement with AgomAb Therapeutics NV for the use of HGF-mimetic SIMPLE Antibodies™, developed under the Company’s Innovative Access Program. In exchange for granting this license, the Company received a profit share in AgomAb Therapeutics NV. The Company assessed the accounting treatment and concluded that the license agreement is in scope of IFRS 15 and that any revenue should be recognized at once at the effective date of the agreement. The profit share has been designated as a non-current financial asset held at fair value through profit or loss. Since AgomAb Therapeutics NV is a private company, the valuation of the profit share is based on level 3 assumptions.
In March 2021, AgomAb Therapeutics NV secured $74 million Series B in Series B by issuing 286,705 of Preferred B Shares. The Company used the post-money valuation of this Series B financing round and the number of outstanding shares in determining the fair value of the profit-sharing instrument, which results in a change in fair value of non-current financial assets of $11.2 million recorded through profit or loss.

The Company made the irrevocable election to recognize subsequent changes in fair value through OCI.
