Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Aduro Q2 Loss Narrower than Expected, Revenues Top
Aduro BioTech reported second-quarter 2017 loss per share of 27 cents, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 36 cents. However, the company reported earnings per share of 3 cents a year ago.
Quarterly revenues plunged 84.9% year over year to $5.9 million. This top-line deterioration was mainly due to the recognition of a milestone payment of $35 million in the second quarter of 2016, pursuant to an agreement with Novartis for development of ADU-S100 in combination with anti-PD1 checkpoint inhibitor. However, the decrease was partially offset by a recognition of $2 million milestone payment under collaboration with Merck with a view to investigate CRS-207 combined with Keytruda. Revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4 million.
Research and development expenses reduced substantially 20.4% in the quarter to $21.4 million, mainly owing to lower expenses, related to the manufacturing of GVAX pancreas and pancreatic cancer clinical study in the second quarter this year.
General and administrative expenses were $8.2 million, down 4.6% year over year on the back of lower consulting and professional fees.
