Managing SG&A Costs: A Tale of Two Biotechs

In the competitive world of biotechnology, managing Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses is crucial for financial health. Incyte Corporation and Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. offer a fascinating study in contrasts. From 2014 to 2023, Incyte's SG&A expenses surged by over 600%, reflecting its aggressive expansion and market penetration strategies. In contrast, Protagonist Therapeutics maintained a more conservative growth, with SG&A costs increasing by approximately 1,700% but from a much smaller base, indicating a more cautious approach to scaling operations.

Incyte's expenses peaked in 2023, reaching nearly 1.2 billion, while Protagonist's expenses were a modest 33 million. This disparity highlights Incyte's larger operational scale and market presence. For investors and industry watchers, these trends underscore the importance of strategic cost management in achieving sustainable growth in the biotech sector.
