PDL BioPharma - Q318 results

PDL reported Q318 revenues of $67.9m, up 8.2% compared to Q317 and up 45.8% sequentially, with that growth mainly due to an increase in the fair value of the Assertio (formerly Depomed) royalty rights. Noden Product revenue of $17.8m was up 17.9% compared to Q317 but was down 31.2% sequentially, mainly due to the bulk purchasing by distribution partner Orphan Pacific for the Japanese market launch in Q218. Importantly, PDL recently announced a $100m stock repurchase program which at current prices would buy back approximately 25% of the common shares outstanding.
