TVGN Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc

Tevogen Bio (“Tevogen” or “Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc.”) (Nasdaq: TVGN), a clinical-stage specialty immunotherapy biotech developing off-the-shelf, genetically unmodified T cell therapeutics to treat infectious disease and cancers, has announced financial results for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2024, and filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Tevogen’s internally developed intellectual property and product assets, valued internally at $10 billion+ using discounted cash flow models, are not reflected on the balance sheet. Due to US GAAP accounting rules, the company was unable to report the fair market value of its assets, including proprietary immunotherapy technologies and cutting-edge artificial intelligence platforms. The company believes that the inclusion of Tevogen’s IP assets on its balance sheet would significantly enhance its enterprise value.

Tevogen reiterated its confidence in its financial stability, confirming sufficient available capital to fund operations for at least the next 33 months, supported by a loan agreement, which Tevogen entered into in June. Additionally, Tevogen eliminated almost all of its liabilities which were $99.9 million as reported at December 31, 2023 and now are $10.5 million as reported at September 30, 2024.

Kirti Desai, CPA, Tevogen’s CFO, commented, “The company is in a unique position as it relates to reporting intangible assets on our balance sheet. Tevogen has multiple granted patents, which were developed internally, and as per US GAAP rules, these internally developed intangible assets are not reported on the balance sheet as they do not have an acquisition price. This is significantly different than IP obtained through acquisition which can be capitalized as a noncurrent asset on the balance sheet and subsequently amortized like an intangible asset.”

Dr. Ryan Saadi, Founder and CEO of Tevogen Bio added, “The lack of an established market price to assign fair value of our highly appraised internally developed assets on our balance sheet, marks a distinct difference from similar cell therapy companies, such as Gilead and Bristol-Myers Squibb, which are able to capitalize similar assets acquired through multibillion-dollar acquisitions."

Commenting on the company’s performance and unique ownership structure, Dr. Saadi concluded, “Tevogen’s leadership stands apart in the biotech sector, with approximately 78% of equity retained by our officers, an extraordinary figure compared to the industry average of just 4%. In addition to our officers, our key employees have also been granted substantial restricted stock units in the company, reflecting our belief that our employees should also be owners of our success.”
