Insights
Merck's Q4 and FY2024 results reveal a company executing effectively across multiple fronts. The standout metric is the substantial gross margin expansion, with non-GAAP margins reaching
The oncology franchise continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, with KEYTRUDA maintaining strong momentum (
Looking ahead, several catalysts could drive further growth:
- The subcutaneous formulation of pembrolizumab could enhance competitive positioning
- Expansion into RSV with clesrovimab represents a significant new market opportunity
- Strategic licensing deals with LaNova and Hansoh strengthen the long-term pipeline
- Recent GARDASIL approval for males in China opens new demographic opportunities
The 2025 guidance suggests management's confidence in sustained growth, though the projected revenue range indicates some conservatism, likely accounting for potential macroeconomic headwinds and increasing competition in key therapeutic areas.

Pipeline and Portfolio Highlights
Merck made important advancements in its broad, diverse pipeline, meeting significant regulatory and clinical milestones throughout the fourth quarter.
In oncology, Merck announced positive topline results from the pivotal Phase 3 MK-3475A-D77 trial evaluating the noninferiority of subcutaneous pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa, in combination with chemotherapy, versus intravenous (IV) KEYTRUDA administered with chemotherapy, for the first-line treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC. Subcutaneous pembrolizumab and berahyaluronidase alfa has the potential to improve the patient experience and increase access for patients and health care providers compared to IV administration.
Merck presented new data across multiple hematologic malignancies at the American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition in December 2024, including promising Phase 2 data for its investigational antibody-drug conjugate zilovertamab vedotin for the treatment of patients with previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. With more than 20 abstracts presented, the data showcased Merck’s continued progress in advancing clinical research for its expanding and diverse hematology pipeline.
Merck also achieved several key regulatory milestones in the
In vaccines and infectious diseases, the FDA accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for clesrovimab, an investigational prophylactic long-acting monoclonal antibody designed to protect infants from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease during their first RSV season and set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) date of June 10, 2025. This regulatory milestone marks important progress toward having clesrovimab available in time for the 2025-26 RSV season. The filing was based on results from the pivotal Phase 2b/3 study of clesrovimab in infants for the prevention of RSV that was presented at ID Week 2024. In addition, Merck announced topline results from two pivotal Phase 3 trials of the investigational, once-daily, oral, two-drug, single-tablet regimen of doravirine/islatravir (DOR/ISL) in adults with virologically suppressed HIV-1 infection, in line with Merck’s commitment to help address the needs of people living with HIV.
In January 2025, Merck also received expanded approval in
In cardiovascular disease, Merck announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 ZENITH study, evaluating WINREVAIR in adults with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1 functional class (FC) III or IV at high risk of mortality. Based on the positive results of an interim analysis, an independent data monitoring committee recommended that the study be stopped early due to overwhelming efficacy. In addition, in January 2025, Merck announced the Phase 3 HYPERION study evaluating WINREVAIR in newly diagnosed adults with PAH with FC II or III at intermediate or high risk of disease progression was also stopped early based on the positive results from the interim analysis of the ZENITH trial and a review of the totality of data from the WINREVAIR clinical program to date. All participants in both the ZENITH and HYPERION studies will be offered the opportunity to receive WINREVAIR as part of the open-label, long-term extension study, SOTERIA.
Merck continued to execute on its business development strategy. The company announced the closing of an exclusive global license for MK-2010, a novel investigational PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody from LaNova. Merck also entered into an exclusive global license agreement with Hansoh to evaluate MK-4082, an investigational preclinical oral small molecule glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor agonist.

Merck has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, given it cannot predict with reasonable certainty the amounts necessary for such a reconciliation, including intangible asset impairment charges, legal settlements, and income and losses from investments in equity securities either owned directly or through ownership interests in investment funds, without unreasonable effort. These items are inherently difficult to forecast and could have a significant impact on the company’s future GAAP results.
Merck anticipates full-year 2025 sales to be between
Merck’s full-year non-GAAP effective income tax rate is expected to be between
Merck expects full-year 2025 non-GAAP EPS to be between
Consistent with past practice, the financial outlook does not assume additional significant potential business development transactions.

2Merck is providing certain 2024 and 2023 non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing this information enhances investors’ understanding of the company’s results because management uses non-GAAP results to assess performance. Management uses non-GAAP measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. In addition, annual employee compensation, including senior management’s compensation, is derived in part using a non-GAAP pretax income metric. This information should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a description of the non-GAAP adjustments, see Table 2a attached to this release. |
