The revenue range has increased primarily due to higher royalties on net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen and achievement of additional DuoBody milestones. Among other items, the operating expense range has decreased due to timing of clinical and pre-clinical expenses. The operating income range has increased due to the combination of higher revenue and lower expenses. Our cash position has increased mainly due to timing of operating expenses and other working capital adjustments.
As previously announced, the annual report for 2016 will be published on February 22, 2017.
