What You Should Know about Nektar’s Cash Flows and Valuations

Nektar Therapeutics (NKTR) used up $52.5 million on operating activities in Q1 2018 compared with $34.6 million in Q1 2017. Operating cash flow in Q1 2018 included $57.5 million of net operating cash use along with $5 million for interest payments on Nektar’s senior secured notes partially offset by the receipt of a milestone payment of $10 million from Baxalta. Nektar expects cash used in operating activities in fiscal 2018 to increase as compared with fiscal 2017 mainly as a result of higher research and development expenses.
