Halozyme (HALO) Q4 Earnings Top, Revenues Miss, Stock Down
Read MoreHide Full Article
Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (HALO - Free Report) reported fourth-quarter 2022 adjusted earnings of 48 cents per share, narrowly beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 47 cents. Adjusted earnings were also higher than our estimate of 44 cents per share. The company’s earnings were 42 cents per share in the year-ago period.
Total revenues increased 78% year over year to $181.4 million, primarily driven by strong royalty payments from J&J (JNJ - Free Report) for subcutaneous Darzalex (daratumumab). The addition of product sales following the acquisition of Antares Pharma in May 2022 and higher collaboration revenues also boosted the top line. Revenues, however, fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $186 million.
Total revenues also missed our estimate of $182.9 million in the reported quarter.
Shares of Halozyme were down 3.34% in after-hours trading on Tuesday following the mixed results reported by the company. The stock has rallied 47.1% in the past year against the industry’s decline of 5.1%.
