AstraZeneca PLC posted a loss in the second quarter as it furiously invested in its next-generation drugs while battling falling sales of its aging blockbuster Crestor, and took a restructuring charge relating to a cost-reduction program.
Cambridge, England-based Astra posted a net loss of $3 million in the three months to June 30, compared with a net profit of $697 million in the same period a year earlier. Revenue slipped 11% to $5.6 billion. Analysts expected net profit of $403 million and revenue of $5.6 billion.
Core operating profit, a measure which strips out one-time gains and losses, fell 22% to $1.4 billion, beating market expectations of $1.3 billion.
Astra's downbeat results were largely driven by a steep decline in sales of the company's cholesterol-lowering drug Crestor after a cheap copycat version launched in early May.
