Moderna reported a more than threefold jump in sales to $389 million for the first quarter, driven by international Covid vaccine sales under long-term government partnerships.

The Cambridge, Mass., drugmaker reported a net loss of $1.3 billion for the March quarter. Stripping out a roughly $900 million charge tied to a litigation settlement over Covid-shot technology, the adjusted loss was $465 million-better than what analysts had anticipated.

Shares rallied in premarket before opening slightly lower.

Moderna is waiting on a Food and Drug Administration decision by early August on whether to approve its first standalone flu shot, and expects late-stage results later this year from a personalized cancer vaccine for melanoma that could mark a new way to treat the disease.
