AMGEN REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Rhea-AI Summary

Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) reported its Q2 2024 financial results showing a 20% revenue increase to $8.4 billion compared to Q2 2023. Product sales grew by 20% with a 26% volume boost, albeit offset by a 3% decline in net selling price. Excluding Horizon Therapeutics' sales, product sales were up by 5%.

GAAP EPS fell 46% to $1.38, affected by higher operating costs, while non-GAAP EPS decreased 1% to $4.97. Free cash flow dropped to $2.2 billion from $3.8 billion due to timing of tax payments. The company remains on track to reduce its debt by more than $10 billion by the end of 2025.

Strong performers included Prolia® (13% sales increase), Repatha® (25%), and TEZSPIRE® (76%). However, some products like Enbrel® and Otezla® saw declines in sales. Amgen's guidance for 2024 predicts revenue between $32.8 billion and $33.8 billion, with GAAP EPS between $6.57 and $7.62, and non-GAAP EPS between $19.10 and $20.10.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) today announced financial results for the second quarter 2024.

"With a strong, balanced portfolio of in-market products and a rapidly advancing pipeline of innovative medicines, we are confident in our ability to deliver attractive long-term growth," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer.

Key results include:

• For the second quarter, total revenues increased 20% to $8.4 billion in comparison to the second quarter of 2023.
  • Product sales grew 20%, driven by 26% volume growth, partially offset by 3% lower net selling price. Excluding sales from our Horizon Therapeutics (Horizon) acquisition, product sales grew 5%, driven by volume growth of 10%.
  • Twelve products delivered at least double-digit sales growth in the second quarter, including Prolia^® (denosumab), EVENITY^® (romosozumab-aqqg), Repatha^® (evolocumab), TEZSPIRE^® (tezepelumab-ekko), BLINCYTO^® (blinatumomab), and TAVNEOS^® (avacopan).

• GAAP earnings per share (EPS) decreased 46% from $2.57 to $1.38, driven by higher operating expenses, including amortization expense from Horizon-acquired assets and incremental expenses from Horizon, partially offset by higher revenues.
  • GAAP operating income decreased from $2.7 billion to $1.9 billion, and GAAP operating margin decreased 16.5 percentage points to 23.7%.
• Non-GAAP EPS decreased 1% from $5.00 to $4.97, driven by higher operating expenses, including incremental expenses from Horizon, and interest expense, partially offset by higher revenues.
  • Non-GAAP operating income increased from $3.5 billion to $3.9 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin decreased 4.4 percentage points to 48.2%.
• The Company generated $2.2 billion of free cash flow in the second quarter of 2024 versus $3.8 billion in the second quarter of 2023, driven by the timing of tax payments. In 2023, federal tax payments, including our repatriation tax, were made in Q4, whereas in 2024 these payments were made in Q2.

Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis

On a GAAP basis for the second quarter:

• Total Operating Expenses increased 51% year-over-year. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales increased 13.1 percentage points driven by higher amortization expense from Horizon acquisition-related assets and, to a lesser extent, higher royalties and profit share, partially offset by the Puerto Rico excise tax. Research & Development (R&D) expenses increased 30% due to higher spend in later-stage clinical programs and research and early pipeline, including Horizon-acquired programs. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 38% primarily driven by the addition of Horizon and investments in our commercial brands. Other operating expenses consisted primarily of changes in the fair values of contingent consideration liabilities related to our Teneobio, Inc. acquisition from 2021.
• Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales decreased 16.5 percentage points year-over-year to 23.7%.
• Tax Rate decreased 8.6 percentage points year-over-year primarily due to the change in earnings mix as a result of the inclusion of the Horizon business.

On a non-GAAP basis for the second quarter:

• Total Operating Expenses increased 30% year-over-year. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales increased 0.4 percentage points primarily driven by higher royalties and profit share, partially offset by Puerto Rico excise tax. R&D expenses increased 30% due to higher spend in later-stage clinical programs and research and early pipeline, including Horizon-acquired programs. SG&A expenses increased 36%, primarily driven by the addition of Horizon and investments in our commercial brands.
• Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales decreased 4.4 percentage points year-over-year to 48.2%.
• Tax Rate decreased 1.5 percentage points year-over-year primarily due to the change in earnings mix as a result of the inclusion of the Horizon business and net favorable items.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Amgen. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any statements on the outcome, benefits and synergies of collaborations, or potential collaborations, with any other company (including BeiGene, Ltd. or Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd.), the performance of Otezla^® (apremilast) (including anticipated Otezla sales growth and the timing of non-GAAP EPS accretion), our acquisitions of Teneobio, Inc., ChemoCentryx, Inc., or Horizon (including the prospective performance and outlook of Horizon's business, performance and opportunities and any potential strategic benefits, synergies or opportunities expected as a result of such acquisition, and any projected impacts from the Horizon acquisition on our acquisition-related expenses going forward), as well as estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial metrics, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, reimbursement activities and outcomes, effects of pandemics or other widespread health problems on our business, outcomes, progress, and other such estimates and results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission reports filed by Amgen, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Unless otherwise noted, Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Our results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products including biosimilars, difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products and global economic conditions. In addition, sales of our products are affected by pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny and reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products, including our devices, after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. In addition, our business may be impacted by the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors, or we may fail to prevail in present and future intellectual property litigation. We perform a substantial amount of our commercial manufacturing activities at a few key facilities, including in Puerto Rico, and also depend on third parties for a portion of our manufacturing activities, and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. An outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, such as COVID-19, and the public and governmental effort to mitigate against the spread of such disease, could have a significant adverse effect on the supply of materials for our manufacturing activities, the distribution of our products, the commercialization of our product candidates, and our clinical trial operations, and any such events may have a material adverse effect on our product development, product sales, business and results of operations. We rely on collaborations with third parties for the development of some of our product candidates and for the commercialization and sales of some of our commercial products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to many of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Certain of our distributors, customers and payers have substantial purchasing leverage in their dealings with us. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to collaborate with or acquire other companies, products or technology, and to integrate the operations of companies or to support the products or technology we have acquired, may not be successful. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to realize any of the strategic benefits, synergies or opportunities arising from the Horizon acquisition, and such benefits, synergies or opportunities may take longer to realize than expected. We may not be able to successfully integrate Horizon, and such integration may take longer, be more difficult or cost more than expected. A breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach of our information technology systems could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and our data. Our stock price is volatile and may be affected by a number of events. Our business and operations may be negatively affected by the failure, or perceived failure, of achieving our environmental, social and governance objectives. The effects of global climate change and related natural disasters could negatively affect our business and operations. Global economic conditions may magnify certain risks that affect our business. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock. We may not be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

(d)		For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the adjustments related primarily to separation costs associated with our restructuring plan initiated in early 2023.
(e)		For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the adjustments related primarily to changes in the fair values of contingent consideration liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the adjustments related primarily to a net impairment charge for an in-process R&D asset and changes in the fair values of contingent consideration liabilities, both related to our Teneobio, Inc. acquisition from 2021.

Generally, the tax impact of adjustments, including the amortization of intangible assets and acquired inventory, gains and losses on our investments in equity securities and expenses related to restructuring and cost savings initiatives, depends on whether the amounts are deductible in the respective tax jurisdictions and the applicable tax rate(s) in those jurisdictions. Due to these factors, the effective tax rate for the adjustments to our GAAP income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was 17.7% and 15.7%, respectively, compared to 18.1% and 22.6% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.
