In its recent earnings release for the third quarter of 2024, Schrödinger reported significant developments, including a new collaboration with Novartis, which will see an upfront payment of $150 million and potential milestone payments. Despite a decline in total revenue compared to the previous year, the company’s software revenue saw a 10% increase, underscoring the importance of its software technology in driving growth.
Key highlights from the financial report include a total revenue of $35.3 million, a decrease from $42.6 million a year earlier, primarily due to a significant drop in drug discovery revenue. However, software revenue grew to $31.9 million. Operating expenses rose to $86.2 million, largely driven by increased R&D costs. Despite a net loss of $38.1 million, this represents an improvement from the previous year’s $62.0 million loss, aided by a substantial increase in other income.
