Revenue from contract manufacturing operations was $11.3 million, up 20% primarily due to the timing of fill/finish services to third parties. Contracts, grants and collaborations revenue was $29.6 million, down 33% primarily due to recognition in 2014 of $15.3 million of the upfront fee related to MOR209/ES414, the company’s prostate cancer drug being developed in collaboration with MorphoSys AG. R&D expenses were $41.9 million, a decrease of 5%.
