Oxford BioMedica (OXB): Demanding second half

Oxford BioMedica (OXB) is a gene-based medicine viral-vector biopharma company. It offers vector manufacturing and development services, while developing proprietary therapies, with its LentiVector® platform. Growth in gross income and profitability were driven by new licensing deals in 2018. Despite steady growth in 1H’19 group sales (bioprocessing and commercial development), a reduction in licensing income resulted in a first-half operating loss; the absence of significant deals in 2019 has also dampened the shares. Although interim results were in line with our expectations, they highlight the importance of 2H’19 for a full-year profit.
