Exelixis (EXEL) Q1 2019 earnings

GAAP EPS decreased to $0.24 from $0.37, hurt by the decrease in milestone-related revenues and the increases in research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses and the provision for income taxes.

Net product revenues for the quarter increased to $179.6 million from $134.3 million in the year-ago quarter. CABOMETYX net product revenues totaled $175.9 million, compared to $171.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were $63.3 million, compared to $37.8 million for the comparable period in 2018. The increase in research and development expenses was primarily related to increases in clinical trial costs, personnel expenses and stock-based compensation.

“We continued our efforts to maximize the commercial and clinical potential of cabozantinib through the U.S. launch in advanced hepatocellular cancer in January, as well as the initiation of the COSMIC-313 study announced today,” said CEO Michael Morrissey.
