Business profile

Updated

Royalty Pharma buys rights to payments tied to sales of medicines. Rather than developing, manufacturing or selling most of the medicines itself, it provides capital to the organizations that own royalty rights or are developing therapies. In return, it receives a share of the sales of specified products, along with milestones or other contractual payments in some transactions.

Its partners range from academic institutions, research hospitals and nonprofits to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. An institution that helped discover a therapy may sell an existing royalty to Royalty Pharma. A drug developer may instead create a new royalty in exchange for funding, while retaining responsibility for developing and selling the medicine.

Total pay is as the Summary Compensation Table states it; actually paid revalues the year’s share awards at its end, as the SEC’s pay-versus-performance rule asks. $100 invested is what $100 in the company’s shares at the start of the earliest year shown was worth at each year’s end. Ownership is the proxy’s own table: the directors and officers as a group, and every holder of 5% or more. Read the proxy statement
