Company

Company overview

Halozyme Therapeutics helps drugmakers formulate medicines for injection under the skin. Its ENHANZE technology uses an enzyme, rHuPH20, to temporarily break down a substance in the tissue so injected medicines can spread and be absorbed. Partners combine this technology with their drugs and pay Halozyme licensing fees, payments when development or sales milestones are reached, and royalties on approved products’ sales. Halozyme also supplies the enzyme. ENHANZE is its largest revenue driver, and royalties account for most revenue.

A separate business develops and supplies auto-injectors for partners such as Teva. Halozyme also sells its own products through U.S. pharmaceutical wholesalers: Hylenex recombinant, an enzyme formulation, and XYOSTED, a testosterone treatment patients inject at home using its auto-injector.

The royalty business depends heavily on partners’ ability to develop and sell their medicines, especially Janssen’s DARZALEX SC, Halozyme’s largest royalty source. Other major contributors include argenx’s VYVGART Hytrulo and Roche’s Phesgo. Halozyme relies on outside manufacturers, including Avid Bioservices and Catalent, for its enzyme supply, and on patents and other proprietary rights to license its technology. Products require regulatory approval before sale, must retain that approval, and can be promoted only within regulatory restrictions.

Halozyme’s results also depend on Roche’s ENHANZE-enabled medicines, especially Phesgo, while Alteogen’s alternative hyaluronidase technology challenges its drug-delivery platform.

  • Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen pays Halozyme to use its drug-delivery technology in DARZALEX SC, Halozyme’s largest royalty source, and also collaborates on Hypercon. Watch DARZALEX SC sales: uptake of this medicine directly supports Halozyme’s royalty growth.

  • argenx’s VYVGART Hytrulo sales feed directly into Halozyme’s royalties: argenx licenses ENHANZE to deliver the medicine under the skin. Those sales generated $157.191 million for Halozyme in 2025, making VYVGART Hytrulo uptake a concrete measure to watch.

  • Genmab and Halozyme both collect royalties from Johnson & Johnson’s daratumumab and amivantamab medicines, so the same drug franchises support both companies. Genmab licenses antibody innovations, while Halozyme licenses technology for delivery under the skin; watch DARZALEX SC and RYBREVANT SC sales rather than treating their royalty streams as identical.

  • Merck’s commercialization of subcutaneous Keytruda tests Halozyme’s ability to protect its drug-delivery technology: Halozyme alleges patent infringement and seeks damages and an injunction. Watch court rulings affecting Merck’s ability to sell this medicine; the litigation’s outcome and remedies remain uncertain.

  • Bristol Myers Squibb’s Opdivo Qvantig sales bring Halozyme royalties because the medicine uses Halozyme’s ENHANZE technology for delivery under the skin. Its uptake is one of the recently launched product drivers Halozyme expects to lift royalties beyond its largest earners.

  • Takeda’s HYQVIA sales generate royalties for Halozyme because the treatment includes an enzyme licensed from Halozyme that enables immunoglobulin delivery under the skin. Watch HYQVIA demand for primary immunodeficiency, rather than Takeda’s overall medicine sales.

  • Teva buys auto-injectors exclusively supplied by Halozyme for its epinephrine and teriparatide products, linking its device needs to Halozyme’s product revenue. Teriparatide also earns Halozyme royalties on Teva’s net sales in territories where it is commercialized, so watch those sales alongside injector orders.
