Celemics Launches Comprehensive Respiratory Virus (CRV) Panel for accurate identification and sequencing of whole respiratory virus genomes

– A NGS approach to detect 39 strains of 9 common human respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2, several other coronaviruses, influenzas, rhinoviruses, and respiratory syncytial virus 

– Offers fast and reliable multiplexed detection of respiratory pathogens in a single reaction 

Celemics Inc., a company innovating DNAbased material through novel sequencing technology, announced the launch of its Comprehensive Respiratory Virus (CRV) Panel,
an optimal Research Use Only (RUO) NGS target enrichment solution covering 9 common human respiratory viruses including SARS-CoV-2. 

The Celemics CRV Panel includes 39 strains of the 9 most prevalent respiratory viruses including coronaviruses (CoV), influenza virus, adenovirus, bocavirus (hBoV), enterovirus,
metapneumovirus, parainfluenza virus (hPIV), human rhinovirus (HRV), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Unlike common RT-PCR assays, which detect only one pathogen at a time,
the NGS-based Celemics CRV Panel is designed to identify, detect, and sequence each pathogen and any present mutations in a single reaction. 

Celemics has engineered the Celemics CRV Panel to provide flexible and reliable performance. The Celemics CRV Panel shows more than 100X coverage for over 99% of the viral genome,
offers a hybridization time four times faster than the current standard, and it detects concentrations as low as 100 viral copies per virus, enabling researchers to analyze nasopharyngeal samples,
which commonly do not yield viral loads of sufficient quantity and quality needed for NGS applications. 

The Celemics CRV Panel is bundled with a non-cloud based standalone bioinformatics software that enables a complete workflow beginning with library preparation and resulting
in publication-ready results that are not subject to General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

The Celemics CRV Panel is available for access in the United States, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand via Celemics’ certified retailers.

Celemics bags $800K deal to supply gene expression profilers to Firalis SA

Celemics has signed a $800,000 contract to supply its Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)-based gene expression profilers for neurodegenerative disease to Firalis S.A., a France-based developer and provider of biomarker diagnostic products.

Shares of Kosdaq-listed Celemics traded a tad higher in the morning session on Wednesday.

According to its disclosure on Wednesday, Celemics will provide Firalis with NeuroMICS products for PAXgene/PBMC and Plasma/Saliva until 2022. The deal value represents about 18 percent of Celemics’ revenue last year.

NeuroMICS™ identifies and quantifies more than 5,000 brain tissue-specific long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in peripheral blood samples that can serve as biomarkers to characterize patients with early-stage neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer`s disease.

NeuroMICS features high-accuracy results based on Celemics` know-how in manufacturing NGS products for 10 years and its unique rebalancing and target capture technology. It can analyze about 5,000 types of lncRNAs at once, providing a more efficient and cost-effective approach than conventional methods, according to the company.

NeuroMICS is Celemics` second NGS-based product to be delivered to Firalis after a similar deal over FiMICS, an NGS-based product to quantify cardiac-enriched lncRNAs in 2018.

The availability of the lncRNA panel opens a window for new therapeutics and personalized medicine tools for diverse diseases, experts say.

Asia’s first and only proprietary tech-based NGS target capture kit developer

Celemics develops target capture kits for next-generation sequencing (NGS) applications based on its proprietary molecular cloning technology called MSSIC (Massively Separated and Sequence-Identified Cloning). Target capture kits, which play a key role in NGS technology-based targeted sequencing, are commercially produced by only six companies in the world including Celemics.

Investment points: 1) rapid NGS market growth; 2) business/overseas expansion

The global NGS market continues to grow alongside technological advancements and sequencing cost declines. In addition to diagnostics, NGS technology is expected to be used in a wider range of applications including new drug development, microbiome, and seed development. As a result, the size of the global NGS market is projected to grow at a rapid pace from USD6.3bn in 2018 to USD31.4bn (KRW35tr) by 2026.

Steep market growth, in turn, should lead to stronger demand for target capture kits. Celemics, backed by its advanced technology and services vs. peers, will likely enjoy notable growth in market share going forward. In addition, the company’s expansion into sequencing solutions and overseas markets should pick up pacefrom 2020 with the release of its NGS solution, BTSeq (Barcode-Tagged Sequencing).

Initiate coverage with BUY and a conservative target price of KRW40,000

We initiate coverage of Celemics with buy for a target price of KRW40,000. Our target price is based on the present value of the EPS forecast of KRW1,239 for 2022 (reflecting expectations for improvement in operating margins to peer average levels backed by overseas and BTSeq sales) and a target PER of 37.9x (15% discount to the PER average of peers).
On the first day of listing, Celemics shares gained just 29% vs. the IPO price.

However, we believe Celemics sets itself apart from other listed domestic NGS companies, as: 1) one of the six companies in the world that have succeeded in the commercialization of target capture kits
for NGS applications; and 2) a company capable of expanding beyond the domestic market to overseas markets for faster earnings growth.

Recently-listed US peer Twist Bioscience is currently trading at a market cap of USD3bn (roughly KRW3.6tr),even with the company’s target capture kit-related sales standing at just KRW25.3bn as of 2019.
Considering the upbeat earnings outlook, Celemics shares appear excessively undervalued at current price levels.
