The decrease was due to lower product sales under APA agreements.
The COVID-19 vaccine maker reported an earning loss of 51 cents per share, down from $1.44 a year ago, in line <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n44004179/novavax-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-financial-results-and-operational-highlights" rel="noreferrer noopener">with the Wall Street Estimate</a>.

&#8220;In 2024, we unveiled our new corporate growth strategy, shifting our focus from commercializing our COVID-19 vaccine to maximizing the value of our cutting-edge technology platform through pipeline expansion and partnerships for our development-stage vaccine candidates and our Matrix-M adjuvant,&#8221; said&nbsp;John C. Jacobs, President and Chief Executive Officer, Novavax. &#8220;As we look to 2025 and beyond, we believe we are well positioned to potentially create significant value for all stakeholders.&#8221;
Nuvaxovid sales reached $49.8 million, down from $251.5 million a year ago. The company ended 2024 with over&nbsp;$1 billion&nbsp;in cash and accounts receivables.

Since Novavax is reliant on Sanofi&#8217;s sales forecasts for certain revenue components, these will not be included in the 2025 Revenue Framework at this time.
Novavax expects to achieve adjusted licensing, royalties, and other revenue of between&nbsp;$300 million&nbsp;and $350 million in 2025. Novavax is eligible to receive royalties in the high teens to low twenties percent on Sanofi sales.

U.S. CDC Report: Evidence Found Of Recent Bird Flu Infections Among 3 Cattle Veterinarians

Editor's Note: This article has been updated to reflect that GSK acquired full rights to CureVac&#8217;s bird flu vaccine candidate.
A Nevada dairy worker has screened positive for the D1.1 strain of bird flu associated with a Louisiana man's death in January, according to a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/08/health/bird-flu-variant-nevada-human-case/index.html">report</a>. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is working Monday to confirm<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/02/43549057/deadly-bird-flu-strain-hits-dairy-cows-could-make-covid-seem-like-a-walk-in-the-park-expert-says"> the initial positive test.</a>
The Details: The Nevada dairy worker who has initially tested positive is currently experiencing mild symptoms, including conjunctivitis or "pink eye," which appears to be a common symptom in recent human infections.&nbsp;
Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said six dairy herds in Nevada<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/02/43549057/deadly-bird-flu-strain-hits-dairy-cows-could-make-covid-seem-like-a-walk-in-the-park-expert-says"> tested positive</a> for the D1.1 strain of bird flu, marking the first time the variant of the H5N1 virus was detected in cattle.&nbsp;

The<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html"> current public health</a> risk remains low, according to the CDC. The agency is using flu surveillance systems to monitor for H5 bird flu activity in people.&nbsp;
In January, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/01/43194764/trump-administration-halts-all-communications-from-the-centers-for-disease-control-as-bird-flu-spreads">ordered </a>a stop to all communications from CDC. Its website currently displays a banner stating that the site is being "modified to comply with President Trump's Executive Orders."
The CDC resumed publishing its weekly <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/index2025.html?ACSTrackingID=USCDC_921-DM144964&amp;ACSTrackingLabel=This%20Week%20in%20MMWR:%20Vol.%2074,%20February%206,%202025&amp;deliveryName=USCDC_921-DM144964">scientific report</a>, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, last Thursday after being paused for the previous two weeks.&nbsp;
What Else: The H5N1 avian flu continues to spread in wild bird populations as well as in domestic flocks. As many as 15 birds at the Queens and Bronx zoos died last week as a result of the bird flu and a zoo spokesperson<a href="https://gothamist.com/news/bird-flu-suspected-in-deaths-across-multiple-species-at-queens-and-bronx-zoos"> told</a> Gothamist that "vulnerable bird species&#8221; have been moved to protected areas as vets work with city, state and federal regulators.&nbsp;
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has ordered live poultry markets in New York City, Westchester and Long Island to close after several bird flu cases were detected in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx last week.&nbsp;
According to the National Emerging Special Pathogens Training &amp; Education Center, more than 60 million poultry have died or<a href="https://netec.org/2023/01/30/situation-report-highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza-ah5n1/"> been culled</a> due to bird flu since the outbreak began in 2022. More than 20 million egg-laying chickens were culled in the last quarter of 2024 alone, creating a large impact on the U.S. poultry industry.&nbsp;
Stocks To Watch: With another human case of bird flu likely having been detected, investors may want to monitor the following stocks that are connected with bird flu vaccines.
Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>) in January received an additional $590 million award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to accelerate the development of its mRNA-based influenza vaccines, including bird flu.
GSK Plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>), which acquired full rights to the bird flu vaccine candidate from CureVac BV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVAC#NASDAQ">CVAC</a>) in July 2024, has initiated a Phase I/II study on its development. Novavax Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) also has bird flu vaccine candidates in clinical trials.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
