SG&A Cost Management: A Tale of Two Biotechs

In the competitive world of biotechnology, managing Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses is crucial for financial health. Protagonist Therapeutics, Inc. and Viridian Therapeutics, Inc. have shown distinct strategies over the past decade. From 2014 to 2023, Protagonist's SG&A expenses grew by approximately 1,700%, starting at $1.86 million and peaking at $33.49 million. Meanwhile, Viridian's expenses surged by over 1,100%, from $7.75 million to a staggering $94.99 million in 2023.

Despite Viridian's higher absolute costs, both companies have shown a consistent upward trend, reflecting their growth and expansion efforts. The data suggests that while Protagonist maintains a more conservative approach, Viridian's aggressive spending could indicate a strategy focused on rapid scaling. Investors and stakeholders should consider these trends when evaluating the companies' operational efficiencies and long-term sustainability.
