In the company’s news yesterday,
Curis posted its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
Curis reported fourth quarter 2011 net income of $6.1 million, or $0.08 per basic share and $0.07 per fully diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $5.6 million, or ($0.07) per share on both a basic and fully diluted basis, for the comparable quarter of 2010.
The company reported revenues for the fourth quarter of 2011 at $14.1 million, an increase over the $100,000 reported for the same period in 2010.

For the full year ended December 31, 2011, Curis reported a net loss of $9.9 million, or ($0.13) per basic and fully diluted share, as compared to a net loss of $4.4 million, or ($0.06) per basic and fully diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Revenues for the fiscal year 2011 were $14.8 million as compared to revenues of $16.0 million for full year 2010, reflecting lower license fee revenues in 2011.
