OPKO Health, Inc. reported its financial results for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2024, revealing a mixed performance compared to the previous fiscal period. Total revenues for Q3 2024 were $173.6 million, a decrease of 3% from $178.6 million in Q3 2023. For the nine months, revenues fell by 22% to $529.5 million from $681.6 million in the same period last year. The decline in revenue was primarily attributed to a significant drop in revenue from the transfer of intellectual property, which decreased by 79% to $34.3 million, largely due to one-time milestone payments received in 2023.
Despite the revenue decline, OPKO reported a notable improvement in profitability metrics. The company achieved an operating income of $14.2 million in Q3 2024, a substantial turnaround from an operating loss of $64.4 million in Q3 2023. The net income for Q3 2024 was $24.9 million, compared to a net loss of $84.5 million in the same quarter of the previous year. For the nine-month period, however, the company recorded a net loss of $67.3 million, an improvement from a loss of $122.4 million in the same period in 2023.
The company's cost management strategies were evident, as total costs and expenses for Q3 2024 decreased by 34% to $159.4 million from $243.0 million in Q3 2023. This reduction was driven by lower selling, general, and administrative expenses, despite an increase in research and development costs.
Strategically, OPKO completed the sale of certain assets of its BioReference segment to Labcorp for $237.5 million, recognizing a gain of $121.5 million from this transaction. The company also expanded its collaboration with BARDA, increasing the contract value to $110 million, with potential expansion value up to $205 million.
On the balance sheet, OPKO reported total assets of $2.26 billion as of September 30, 2024, up from $2.01 billion at the end of 2023. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash significantly increased to $420.1 million from $95.9 million at the end of 2023, reflecting improved liquidity. The company’s total debt rose to $441.0 million, up from $249.3 million at the end of 2023, primarily due to new debt issuances.
Overall, OPKO's financial results indicate a challenging environment with revenue declines, but improved operational efficiency and strategic asset management have led to a notable recovery in profitability for the third quarter.
