Xoma swings to profit, revenue jumps in 2005
Thursday March 9, 2:38 pm ET

Xoma Ltd. said Wednesday that it posted a profit in 2005 on higher revenue, which jumped more than 400 percent since last year mainly due to royalty payments.
The Berkeley biotechnology company (NASDAQ: XOMA - News) reported net income of $2.8 million, or 3 cents per share, compared to a net loss of $78.9 million, or 93 cents a share, in 2004.

Revenue jumped 409 percent in 2005 to $18.7 million, compared with $3.7 million in 2004.

The increase was due to royalty revenue from the sale of Genentech Inc.'s (NYSE: DNA - News) Raptiva and revenue from arrangements with Chiron Corp. (NASDAQ: CHIR - News) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Also, the company benefited from upfront and milestone payments related to the out-licensing of Xoma's products and technologies.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at the end of 2005 were $43.5 million, up from $24.3 million at the end of 2004.

XOMA : just wanted to add my comments. Chart is weekly for two year period you'll notice when  it broke it's muti-year downtrend in April 05 and went up to 2.0 and has been in sideways trading ever since till now and has broken it's sideway's trend with the MACD crossover of the centerline and positive convergence of MACD has been happening ever since Sep.04. This stock is getting ready to break out of a muti-year downtrend and is starting to form a new uptrend from the sideway trend that had formed after breaking the downtrend.
Goodluck trading to all
