• Pfizer Inc. (PFE)
  Pfizer is Arvinas's overwhelmingly primary customer and collaboration partner. For example, in 2023, revenue from their collaboration with Pfizer accounted for 100% of Arvinas's total revenue. This multi-target collaboration focuses on the discovery and development of PROTAC® protein degraders for various therapeutic areas. Revenue is generated through upfront payments, research funding, milestone payments, and potential future royalties on any successfully commercialized products.
• Bayer AG (BAYRY)
  Bayer has also been a significant collaboration partner for Arvinas, particularly in oncology. While its contribution to Arvinas's total revenue has been less significant in the most recent periods compared to Pfizer, it has historically been a major customer through collaboration agreements for the development of protein degraders. Revenue from this partnership similarly includes upfront payments, milestone payments, and potential royalties.

The key risks to Arvinas's business include:

1. High Dependence on Vepdegestrant Amidst Partnership Changes and Market Competition: Arvinas's core strategic risk revolves around the success and commercialization of its flagship asset, vepdegestrant. The original 50-50 co-commercialization agreement with Pfizer for vepdegestrant has been restructured, leading to Arvinas's decision to out-license commercialization rights to a third party. This move, coupled with Pfizer's reduced financial and operational commitment, introduces uncertainty regarding the drug's broad market potential. The termination of two advanced Phase 3 combination trials with Pfizer agents narrows vepdegestrant's target market to ESR1 mutant patients as monotherapy, as it missed the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) endpoint in VERITAC-2. Furthermore, the Selective Estrogen Receptor Degrader (SERD) market is highly competitive, requiring Arvinas to demonstrate clear differentiation for vepdegestrant against other existing and emerging treatments.
2. Continued Unprofitability and Significant Cash Burn: As a clinical-stage biotechnology company, Arvinas is currently unprofitable, characterized by negative operating and net margins. While the company maintains a strong cash position, projected to fund operations into the second half of 2028, it faces ongoing negative operating cash flow, estimated at nearly $400 million annually. Arvinas's revenue is heavily reliant on strategic alliances and milestone payments, leading to inherent volatility rather than predictable product sales. High research and development (R&D) expenses and multiple parallel development programs contribute to this cash burn, posing risks of dilution and prioritization challenges if its lead product or new partnerships underperform.
3. Clinical Trial and Regulatory Approval Uncertainties: Arvinas faces inherent risks associated with the uncertain outcomes of its clinical trials and the complex regulatory approval processes for its pipeline candidates. The New Drug Application (NDA) for vepdegestrant, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of June 5, 2026, represents a high-stakes, binary event for the company. The success of its earlier-stage pipeline, including programs like KRAS G12D, BCL6, and LRRK2, remains high-risk and unvalidated outside breast cancer. Moreover, regulatory delays could significantly impact the timeline for market entry. The company has also faced potential securities litigation due to stock price volatility and questions regarding the adequate disclosure of clinical trial risks.

Arvinas's main products in development and their addressable markets are as follows:

• Vepdegestrant (ARV-471): This investigational oral PROTAC estrogen receptor degrader is being developed for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic estrogen receptor (ER) positive / human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative (ER+/HER2-) breast cancer. The total market size for metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer in the 7 major markets (the United States, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Japan) was approximately USD 10 billion in 2023, with projections for growth by 2034.
• Bavdegalutamide (ARV-110): An investigational oral PROTAC androgen receptor (AR) degrader, Bavdegalutamide is being developed for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The annual revenue for Bavdegalutamide in the U.S. is projected to reach $60 million by 2035. Another estimate indicates a potential annual revenue of $104 million in the U.S. by 2035.
• ARV-766 (Luxdegalutamide): This second-generation PROTAC androgen receptor degrader is designed for individuals with prostate cancer, including metastatic castration-sensitive and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CSPC/CRPC). The addressable patient population for ARV-766 could be up to 120,000 patients with metastatic CSPC/CRPC. The market for androgen receptor-targeted therapies, which includes ARV-766, in the leading markets (the US, EU4, UK, and Japan) is expected to grow significantly by 2034.

Expected Drivers of Future Revenue Growth for Arvinas (ARVN)

1. Commercialization of Vepdegestrant: A key driver of future revenue growth is the potential approval and commercialization of vepdegestrant, an investigational oral PROTAC estrogen receptor protein degrader for ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The FDA accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for vepdegestrant, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date set for June 5, 2026. Arvinas and Pfizer are actively seeking a third-party commercialization partner to maximize its market potential, which could generate significant revenue through sales and partnership agreements.
2. Advancement of Clinical Pipeline: Arvinas has a robust pipeline of PROTAC degraders beyond vepdegestrant, including ARV-102 for Parkinson's disease, ARV-806 for KRAS G12D-mutated cancers, ARV-027 for spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), and ARV-393 for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Positive clinical trial data, regulatory milestones, and progression of these early-stage programs through development are expected to drive future revenue through potential licensing deals, milestone payments, and eventual commercialization.
3. Strategic Collaborations and Licensing Agreements: Arvinas has a history of forming strategic collaborations, such as its partnership with Pfizer for vepdegestrant and previous agreements with other pharmaceutical companies. Future collaborations and licensing deals for its innovative PROTAC platform technology or specific drug candidates, potentially involving upfront payments, research funding, milestone payments, and royalties on future sales, are anticipated to be significant contributors to revenue growth.
4. Expansion and Validation of the PROTAC Platform: The successful regulatory submission and potential approval of vepdegestrant would serve as a major validation of Arvinas's proprietary PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) protein degradation platform. Continued innovation and expansion of this platform to address new therapeutic targets and disease areas, including its ability to develop orally bioavailable degraders that can cross the blood-brain barrier, could attract further partnerships and investments, thereby fueling future revenue growth.
