Intellia (NTLA) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
We expect investors to focus on Intellia Therapeutics, Inc.’s (NTLA - Free Report) progress with the development of its portfolio of CRISPR-based gene-edited therapies when it reports first-quarter 2024 earnings.
Factors to Note
Intellia’s top line currently comprises only collaboration revenues. Revenues in the last quarter were impacted by a $10.3 million recognition adjustment owing to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN - Free Report) extending the technology collaboration to April 2026.
However, NTLA is eligible to receive a $30 million payment as part of the extension by REGN.
Intellia is collaborating with Regeneron for the development of its investigational in vivo genome-editing candidate, NTLA-2001.
In March 2024, the company dosed the first patient in the phase III MAGNITUDE study evaluating NTLA-2001 for the treatment of transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis.
The placebo-controlled MAGNITUDE study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of NTLA-2001 in patients with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy.
If the data from the MAGNITUDE study is found to be positive, it will enable regulatory filings for the drug across the world.
Investors will be keen to get more updates on the development path ahead for NTLA-2001 on the upcoming earnings call.
Shares of NTLA have plunged 30.6% year to date compared with the industry’s decline of 9.4%.

NTLA-2001 is also being developed for the treatment of hereditary ATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy. Updates for a pivotal phase III study on NTLA-2001 in this additional indication are expected on the upcoming earnings call.
Updates related to Intellia’s other genome-editing therapy, NTLA-2002, which is being evaluated in a phase I/II study for the treatment of hereditary angioedema, are also expected on the upcoming earnings call.
Activities related to the development of pipeline candidates are most likely to have escalated Intellia’s operating expenses in the to-be-reported quarter.

NTLA delivered an average surprise of 5.21%. In the last reported quarter, Intellia’s earnings beat estimates by 0.68%.
