AstraZeneca PLC said net income increased in the first quarter even as it plowed heavy investment into the development of a string of new drugs it is betting on for future growth, thanks to lower amortization charges.

The Cambridge, U.K.-based drug maker said net income increased 17% to $646 million, from $550 million a year earlier. Revenue increased 1% to $6.12 billion, from $6.06 billion a year ago. Both beat estimates: analysts had expected net income of $494 million and revenue of $5.93 billion.

Core operating profit, a measure which strips out one-time gains and impairments, fell 12% to $1.6 billion, from $1.8 billion last year. Astra said that was partly due to increased investment in research, which climbed 15% to $1.4 billion in the first quarter.
