FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2022 unless otherwise stated.

• Bristol Myers Squibb posted first quarter revenues of $11.3 billion, a decrease of 3%, due to Revlimid generic erosion and foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by in-line products (primarily Opdivo and Eliquis) and our new product portfolio (primarily Opdualag, Abecma and Reblozyl). When adjusted for foreign exchange, revenues decreased 1%. Our revenues for in-line products and new product portfolio increased 8% to $9.3 billion, or 10% when adjusted for foreign exchange impacts.
• U.S. revenues increased 4% to $8.0 billion in the quarter primarily due to Eliquis, Opdivo and our new product portfolio, partially offset by Revlimid generic erosion. International revenues decreased 16% to $3.3 billion in the quarter. When adjusted for foreign exchange impacts, international revenues decreased 11%, primarily due to Revlimid and Eliquis generic erosion, partially offset by Opdivo and our new product portfolio.
• On a GAAP basis, gross margin decreased from 78.8% to 77.4% and on a non-GAAP basis, decreased from 79.2% to 77.8% primarily due to product mix, partially offset by foreign exchange impacts and related hedging settlements.
• On a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, marketing, selling and administrative expenses decreased 4% to $1.8 billion in the quarter, primarily due to differences of timing of spend compared to the prior year and foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by higher costs to support new product launches.
• On a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, research and development expenses increased 3% in the quarter, primarily due to higher costs to support the overall portfolio.
• On a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, Acquired IPRD decreased to $75 million in the current quarter from $333 million in the same period a year ago. On a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, licensing income decreased to $43 million in the current quarter from $52 million in the same period a year ago.
• On a GAAP basis, amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased 7% to $2.3 billion in the quarter, primarily due to the Abraxane marketed product right being fully amortized in the fourth quarter of 2022.
• On a GAAP basis, effective tax rate changed from 23.9% to 18.2% in the quarter primarily due to jurisdictional earnings mix resulting from specified items and the release of income tax reserves in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by changes to our Puerto Rico tax decree. On a non-GAAP basis, effective tax rate changed from 15.9% to 15.5%, due to the aforementioned tax reserve releases and changes to our Puerto Rico tax decree.
• The company reported net earnings attributable to Bristol Myers Squibb of $2.3 billion, or GAAP EPS of $1.07, in the first quarter, compared to $1.3 billion, or $0.59 per share, for the same period a year ago. In addition to the items discussed above, the higher GAAP EPS in the first quarter of 2023 was due to lower equity investments losses, higher litigation and other settlements income in the first quarter of 2023 and a debt redemption charge in the same period a year ago.
• The company reported non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Bristol Myers Squibb of $4.3 billion, or non-GAAP EPS of $2.05, in the first quarter, compared to non-GAAP net earnings of $4.2 billion, or non-GAAP EPS of $1.96 per share, for the same period a year ago.
• In addition to the items discussed above, the earnings per share results in the first quarter of 2023 include the impact of lower weighted-average common shares outstanding.

FIRST QUARTER PRODUCT REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS

In-Line Products
Revenues for in-line products in the first quarter were $8.6 billion compared to $8.3 billion in the prior year period, representing an increase of 4% or 6% when adjusted for foreign exchange. In-line products revenue was largely driven by:

• Opdivo worldwide revenues increased 15% compared to the prior year period. U.S. revenues were $1.3 billion compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year period, representing an increase of 17% due to higher demand across multiple indications, partially offset by declining second-line eligibility across tumor indications. The higher demand was related to the following indications: the Opdivo+Yervoy combinations for non-small cell lung cancer, various gastric, esophageal and bladder cancers. International revenues were $912 million compared to $824 million in the prior year period, representing an increase of 11% driven by higher demand as a result of additional indication launches and core indications, partially offset by foreign exchange impacts of 7%. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenues increased 18%.
• Eliquis worldwide revenues grew 7% compared to the prior year period. U.S. revenues were $2.6 billion compared to $2.1 billion in the prior year period, representing an increase of 19% primarily driven by higher demand. International revenues were $869 million compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year period, representing a decrease of 18%, primarily driven by generic erosion in Canada and the U.K. and foreign exchange impacts of 5%. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenues declined 13%.

New Product Portfolio

• New product portfolio worldwide revenues grew to $723 million compared to $350 million in the prior year period, driven by the launch of Opdualag in March 2022 and higher demand for Abecma and Reblozyl.

Recent LOE Products

• Revlimid worldwide revenues declined by 37% compared to the prior year period primarily driven by generic erosion.

PRODUCT AND PIPELINE UPDATE

Cardiovascular

Category	Asset	Milestone
Regulatory	Camzyos® (mavacamten)	The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recommended approval of Camzyos for the treatment of symptomatic New York Heart Association class II-III obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in adult patients. The European Commission (EC), which has the authority to approve medicines for the European Union (EU), will now review the CHMP opinion. The positive opinion is based upon efficacy and safety results from two Phase 3 trials, EXPLORER- HCM and VALOR-HCM.
Clinical & Research	milvexian	The company, in collaboration with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, launched the Phase 3 Librexia program studying milvexian, an investigational oral factor XIa inhibitor (antithrombotic).The Librexia program will provide important data across three indication-seeking studies: Librexia STROKE for antiplatelet therapy for stroke prevention in acute ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic stroke, Librexia ACS in addition to antiplatelet therapy for event reduction in acute coronary syndromes and Librexia AF which compares milvexian to apixaban in the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Oncology

Category	Asset	Milestone
Regulatory	Opdivo® (nivolumab)	The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Opdivo as a monotherapy in the adjuvant setting for the treatment of patients with completely resected stage IIB or IIC melanoma. The FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of October 13, 2023.   In addition, the EMA validated the Type II Variation Marketing Authorization Application for Opdivo as a monotherapy in the adjuvant setting for the treatment of patients with completely resected stage IIB or IIC melanoma. The EMA’s validation confirms the submission is complete and begins the start of the EMA’s centralized review process.   The submissions were based on results from the Phase 3 CheckMate-76K clinical trial.
Clinical & Research	Opdivo	Three-year follow-up results from Phase 3 CheckMate -816 trial demonstrated sustained clinical benefits with three cycles of Opdivo in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for the neoadjuvant treatment of patients with resectable NSCLC. While overall survival (OS) remained immature at this analysis, there was a continued encouraging trend in OS favoring neoadjuvant Opdivo with chemotherapy over chemotherapy alone.
		Three-year follow-up results from Phase 3 CheckMate -274 trial demonstrated significant sustained clinical benefits with Opdivo for the adjuvant treatment of patients with surgically resected, high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma.
		Three-year follow-up results from Phase 3 CheckMate -9ER trial demonstrated sustained survival and response rate benefits with the combination of Opdivo and Exelixis Inc.’s CABOMETYX (cabozantinib) versus sunitinib in the first-line treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma.

Regulatory	Abecma® (idecabtagene vicleucel)	The FDA has accepted the company's and 2seventy bio's (NASDAQ: TSVT) sBLA for Abecma for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti- CD38 monoclonal antibody. The FDA has assigned a PDUFA goal date of December 16, 2023.   The EMA also validated the type II variation for the extension of indication for Abecma to treat adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. Validation of the application confirms the submission is complete and begins the EMA’s centralized review process.   In addition, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has accepted Bristol Myers Squibb’s supplemental new drug application for Abecma in patients who have received at least two prior therapies, including an immunomodulatory agent, a proteasome inhibitor, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and have experienced disease progression or relapse after the last therapy.   The three regulatory applications were based on results from the pivotal Phase 3, open-label, global, randomized, controlled KarMMa-3 clinical trial.
	Breyanzi® (lisocabtagene maraleucel)	The CHMP of the EMA has recommended approval of Breyanzi for the treatment of adult patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, high grade B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, high grade B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma grade 3B, who relapsed within 12 months from completion of, or are refractory to, first-line chemoimmunotherapy. The positive opinion was based on results from the pivotal Phase 3 TRANSFORM clinical trial.
	Reblozyl® (luspatercept- aamt)	The EC granted full Marketing Authorization for Reblozyl for treatment in adult patients of anemia associated with non- transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In discussing financial results and guidance, the company refers to financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures presented in this press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and are presented because management has evaluated the company’s financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items or the effects of foreign currency translation, as applicable, and believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented portray the results of the company's baseline performance, supplement or enhance management, analysts and investors overall understanding of the company’s underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods. In addition, non-GAAP gross margin, which is gross profit excluding certain specified items, as a percentage of revenues, non-GAAP operating margin, which is gross profit less marketing, selling and administrative expenses and research and development expense excluding certain specified items as a percentage of revenues, non-GAAP operating expenses, which is marketing, selling and administrative and research and development expenses excluding certain specified items, non-GAAP marketing, selling and administrative expenses, which is marketing, selling and administrative expense excluding certain specified items, and non-GAAP research and development expenses, which is research and development expenses excluding certain specified items, are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by our management and make it easier for investors, analysts and peers to compare our operating performance to other companies in our industry and to compare our year-over-year results.

This earnings release and the accompanying tables also provide certain revenues and expenses as well as non-GAAP measures excluding the impact of foreign exchange ("Ex-Fx"). We calculate foreign exchange impacts by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior period average currency rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results. Ex-Fx financial measures are not accounted for according to GAAP because they remove the effects of currency movements from GAAP results.

Non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that are evaluated on an individual basis after considering their quantitative and qualitative aspects and typically have one or more of the following characteristics, such as being highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of past or future operating results. These items are excluded from non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information because the company believes they neither relate to the ordinary course of the company’s business nor reflect the company’s underlying business performance. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, including product rights that generate a significant portion of our ongoing revenue and will recur until the intangible assets are fully amortized, unwind of inventory purchase price adjustments, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring costs, accelerated depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, costs of acquiring a priority review voucher, divestiture gains or losses, stock compensation resulting from acquisition-related equity awards, pension, legal and other contractual settlement charges, equity investment and contingent value rights fair value adjustments (including fair value adjustments attributed to limited partnership equity method investments), income resulting from the change in control of the Nimbus Therapeutics TYK2 Program and amortization of fair value adjustments of debt acquired from Celgene in our 2019 exchange offer, among other items. Deferred and current income taxes attributed to these items are also adjusted for considering their individual impact to the overall tax expense, deductibility and jurisdictional tax rates.

Because the non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial measures presented in the press release that are prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying financial tables and will also be available on the company’s website at www.bms.com. Within the accompanying financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts.

Also note that a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP tax rate is not provided because comparable GAAP measures for such measures are not reasonably accessible or reliable due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. Namely, we are not able to reliably predict the impact of the unwind of inventory purchase price adjustments, accelerated depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and stock compensation resulting from acquisition-related equity awards, or currency exchange rates beyond the next twelve months. In addition, the company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. The variability of the specified items may have a significant and unpredictable impact on our future GAAP results.
