Shares of Compugen Ltd. (CGEN, Financial) fell almost 0.3% on Monday after the company announced first-quarter results. Revenue was $0, down from $10 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting the upfront payment of $10 million from the license agreement with MedImmune and AstraZeneca (AZN). The company reported a loss of 14 cents per share, beating analyst´s expectations by 3 cents.
"2019 continues to be marked by strong execution and we anticipate reaching additional important milestones in the second half of the year," President and CEO Anat Cohen-Dayag said.
Research and development expenses were $6.3 million, down from $7.1 million in the year-ago period. The decline was due to a cost reduction program announced by Compugen during the first quarter.
