FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2023 unless otherwise stated.

  • Bristol Myers Squibb posted first quarter revenues of $11.9 billion, an increase of 5% or 6% when adjusted for foreign exchange impacts, primarily driven by Eliquis, Reblozyl and Opdualag, partially offset by Opdivo and Revlimid.
  • U.S. revenues increased 7% to $8.5 billion primarily due to Eliquis, Reblozyl and Opdualag, partially offset by Revlimid. Opdivo revenues were $1.2 billion compared to $1.3 billion, representing a decrease of 10% primarily due to inventory and the timing of orders, partially offset by demand growth.
  • International revenues remained relatively flat at $3.4 billion primarily due to lower average net selling prices, offset in part by higher demand for Opdivo, Yervoy and Reblozyl. The negative impact from foreign exchange was 5%.
  • On a GAAP basis, gross margin decreased from 77.4% to 75.3%, and on a non-GAAP basis, gross margin decreased from 77.8% to 75.5%, primarily due to product mix.
  • On a GAAP basis, marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased 34% to $2.4 billion, and on a non-GAAP basis, increased 13% to $2.0 billion, primarily due to the timing of spend and the impact of recent acquisitions.
  • On a GAAP basis, research and development expenses increased 16% to $2.7 billion, and on a non-GAAP basis, increased 6% to $2.3 billion, primarily due to the impact of recent acquisitions and higher costs to support the overall portfolio.
  • On a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, Acquired IPRD increased to $12.9 billion from $75 million, primarily due to the Karuna asset acquisition and SystImmune collaboration. On a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, licensing income was $12 million compared to $43 million during the same period a year ago.
  • On a GAAP basis, amortization of acquired intangible assets increased 4% to $2.4 billion, primarily due to the Mirati Therapeutics and RayzeBio acquisitions and approval of Augtyro in the fourth quarter of 2023.
  • On a GAAP basis, income tax expense was $392 million on a pre-tax loss of $11.5 billion, and on a non-GAAP basis, income tax expense was $732 million on a pre-tax loss of $8.2 billion, primarily due to the $12.1 billion one-time, non-tax-deductible charge for the acquisition of Karuna.
  • On a GAAP basis, the company reported net loss attributable to Bristol Myers Squibb of $11.9 billion, or ($5.89) per share, during the first quarter of 2024 compared to net earnings of $2.3 billion, or $1.07 per share, for the same period a year ago. In addition to the items above, the decrease was also due to lower litigation and other settlement income. The company reported on a non-GAAP basis net loss attributable to Bristol Myers Squibb of $8.9 billion, or ($4.40) per share, during the first quarter of 2024 compared to net earnings of $4.3 billion, or $2.05 per share, for the same period a year ago. In addition to the items above, the decrease was also due to higher interest expense resulting from new debt issuance to fund recent acquisitions.
