Evotec SE reported an operating loss for the first nine months of the year as costs associated with biologics manufacturing, drug research and development, and staff recruitment outpaced gains in revenue. The German drug developer and service provider had revenue of €510.8 million for the nine-month period, up by 19% from a year earlier. But the cost of sales and other expenses left it with an operating loss of €16.8 million. This compared with a year-earlier profit of €26.1 million.
