PDL BioPharma Q3 Earnings Top, Revenues Rise Y/Y
PDL BioPharma reported earnings of 9 cents per share in the third quarter of 2018, lower than year-ago period’s figure of 14 cents.
The company’s total revenues grossed $67.9 million in the reported quarter, reflecting an 8.2% increase year over year. This upside is mainly attributable to a sharp rise in royalties and product revenues.
Quarter in Detail
Product revenues for the quarter under review were $24.4 million, up 21.5% year over year. The same included $17.8 million from the sales of Noden products — Tekturna and Tekturna HCT — and $6.6 million from the sales of LENSAR laser system in the United States.
PDL recognized $42.2 million in revenues from royalty rights, $0.5 million of royalties from PDL's licensees to the Queen et al. patents and $0.8 million of interest revenues.
Royalty revenues from the Queen et al. licenses were lower than the year-ago period, mainly due to weak product supplies of Tysabri.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the third quarter summed $0.7 million, up 11.1% from the prior-year level. This uptick was owing to a contribution of additional cost of product revenues from Noden products and LENSAR laser system in ex-U.S. markets
General and administrative expenses escalated 10.9% to $13.9 million from the level registered in comparable quarter last year.
How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then?
