Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NAVB) (“Navidea” or the “Company”), a company focused on the development of precision immunodiagnostic agents and immunotherapeutics, today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2017. Navidea reported total revenues for the quarter of $395,000. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter was $4.1 million. Total revenues for 2017 were $1.8 million, and net income attributable to common stockholders was $74.9 million.
“It’s been quite a transition year for Navidea going from a commercial operation, with its own dedicated sales force, to a development-focused company leveraging its best-in-class activated macrophage targeting system,” said Michael Goldberg, M.D., Navidea’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
Dr. Goldberg continued, “I am more excited today than I have ever been as we push forward on the three key pillars of our business; CD206 biomarker identification, diagnostic imaging and therapeutics. I expect that the coming year will be characterized by the release of data that confirms our strategy that focusing on the targeting of activated macrophages with our proprietary imaging agents in humans and our proprietary therapeutics in animals has the potential to generate significant commercial opportunities for Navidea in the short term.”
