Gilead Sciences posted better-than-expected top- and bottom-line results in the latest quarter, which the company credited to its virology and oncology segments.

The biopharmaceutical company logged net income of $2.18 billion, or $1.73 a share, for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, compared to $1.79 billion, or $1.42 a share, a year earlier. Adjusted earnings were $2.29 a share, above analysts' estimates of $1.92 a share.

Revenue edged up slightly to $7.05 billion from $7.04 billion a year earlier. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $6.81 billion.

Gilead said revenue was flat as increased sales in oncology and HIV were offset by lower Veklury and chronic hepatitis C virus product sales.
