Inovio generated revenues of $2.8 million in the reported quarter, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4.4 million.

Research and development expenses slipped marginally 0.8% to $24.4 million due to absence of a sub-license expense incurred in the year-ago quarter in connection with the ApolloBio collaboration.
General and administrative expenses decreased 27.8% to $7 million in the quarter owing to the lower foreign non-income taxes and advisory fees.
