The quarter

Sales of $68.3M, 3% less than a year ago; a loss of $0.19 a share, from $1.25.

“Licensing royalties and other revenue of $43 million in the third quarter of 2026 were 25% lower than the same period in 2025 driven primarily by a $42 million reduction year-over-year in research and development (R&D) reimbursement revenue as Novavax nears completion of its support of Sanofi Nuvaxovid clinical support for postmarketing commitments.”
