Relay Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Corporate Highlights

Reported interim RLY-2608 data demonstrating 9.2-month median PFS in heavily pre-treated patients with PI3Kα-mutated, HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer at RP2D

Plan to initiate 2L pivotal trial of RLY-2608 + fulvestrant in 2025

Approximately $840 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments at end of Q3 2024, expected to fund operations into second half of 2027

Cambridge, Mass. – November 6, 2024 – Relay Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: RLAY), a clinical-stage precision medicine company transforming the drug discovery process by combining leading-edge computational and experimental technologies, today reported third quarter 2024 financial results and recent corporate highlights.

“In the third quarter, we reported very encouraging interim data showing that RLY-2608 + fulvestrant led to clinically meaningful progression free survival in heavily pre-treated patients with PI3Kα-mutated, HR+, HER2- metastatic breast cancer,” said Sanjiv Patel, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Relay Therapeutics. “Based on these data, we are preparing to initiate a pivotal trial in 2L breast cancer in 2025, which we expect to be able to fully fund through top-line readout with our existing cash on hand. We also continue to progress our pre-clinical programs and look forward to bringing new programs into the clinic in 2025.”

Anticipated Upcoming Milestones

 

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments: As of September 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and investments totaled $839.6 million compared to $750.1 million as of December 31, 2023. The company expects its current cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to fund its current operating plan into the second half of 2027.

 

Revenue: Revenue was $0 for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $25.2 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of previously received milestone payments under the company’s Collaboration and License Agreement with Genentech, Inc. during the third quarter of 2023.

 

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $76.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $81.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of prioritization of certain programs in the company’s pipeline, as previously disclosed in 2023 and earlier in 2024.

 

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $19.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $18.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in stock compensation expense, partially offset by decreases in other employee compensation costs and certain other general and administrative expenses.

 

Net Loss: Net loss was $88.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, or a net loss per share of $0.63, as compared to a net loss of $65.7 million for the third quarter of 2023, or a net loss per share of $0.54.
