Quality

61

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Quality research reads 61 of 100, a middle-of-the-universe reading. The measurements behind it are mixed.

Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

How this is measured

Fundamental Momentum

Deteriorating

6

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Fundamental Momentum research reads 6 of 100. Stored measurements classify recent reported fundamentals as deteriorating. This describes reported financial change already disclosed, with no forward-looking claim.

Fundamental Momentum research measures the direction of recently reported company fundamentals compared with the company's own history. It describes reported change, not future price movement.

How this is measured

Capital Returns

Weak

22

of 100 · stored research reading

Stored Capital Returns research reads 22 of 100, recorded as weak. No dividend is recorded for this company, so the reading rests on buybacks and dilution control. Share count has increased at about 17.3% a year in the stored window.

Capital Returns research measures how a company has actually returned cash to shareholders: dividend record, buyback effectiveness, dilution control and how those payments were funded.

In the company’s own words

What this company does

Novavax, Inc., together with our wholly owned subsidiaries, tackles some of the world’s most pressing health challenges with its scientific expertise in vaccines and its proven technology platform, including its Matrix-M adjuvant and protein-based nanoparticles.

Our corporate growth strategy focuses on maximizing the impact of our cutting-edge technology by forging partnerships for our Matrix-M adjuvant and research and development (R&D) assets while maintaining a lean and focused operating model.

Our technology platform, combined with our deep vaccine expertise, is the fuel for innovation and partnerships, and we believe it has the potential to create significant value. Our proprietary Matrix-M adjuvant when added to vaccines, has been shown to help induce a stronger and longer-lasting immune response. Our recombinant protein-based nanoparticle technology has been shown to be highly immunogenetic. Together, we believe that our technology platform can induce potent, durable and broad immune responses, with the potential to be antigen-sparing. Our Matrix-M adjuvant can increase both antibody and cell-mediated immune responses to the vaccine and it has demonstrated a favorable tolerability profile in clinical trials. Our technology platform is used in our authorized COVID-19 Vaccine (Nuvaxovid) and the R21/Matrix-M adjuvant malaria vaccine (as defined below).

Additionally, we are advancing our pipeline programs with a focus on potentially high-value assets in areas with unmet medical need, compelling scientific rationale and strong commercial opportunity.
