THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2023 unless otherwise stated.
Bristol Myers Squibb posted third quarter revenues of $11.9 billion, an increase of 8%, or 10% when adjusted for foreign exchange impacts, primarily driven by the Growth Portfolio and Eliquis, partially offset by generic erosion of Sprycel due to the loss of exclusivity.
U.S. revenues increased 9% to $8.2 billion, and International revenues increased 7% to $3.7 billion, primarily due to the Growth Portfolio and higher demand for Eliquis, partially offset by generic erosion of Sprycel due to the loss of exclusivity. The negative impact from foreign exchange on International revenues was 4%.
On a GAAP basis, gross margin decreased from 77.1% to 75.1%, and on a non-GAAP basis decreased from 77.3% to 76.0%, primarily due to product mix.
On a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, marketing, selling and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at $2.0 billion.
On a GAAP basis, research and development expenses increased 6%, and 8% on a non-GAAP basis, to $2.4 billion, primarily due to recent acquisitions.
On a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, Acquired IPRD increased to $262 million from $80 million. On a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, licensing income was $25 million compared to $12 million.
On a GAAP basis, amortization of acquired intangible assets increased 7% to $2.4 billion, primarily due to the RayzeBio acquisition in 2024 and approval of Augtyro in the fourth quarter of 2023.
On a GAAP basis, the effective tax rate increased from 9.5% to 27.5%, and on a non-GAAP basis increased from 11.6% to 18.5%, primarily due to jurisdictional earnings mix and adjustments in 2023 to reflect IRS income tax guidance issued in 2023 regarding deductibility of certain non-U.S. research and development expenses.
On a GAAP basis, the company reported net income attributable to Bristol Myers Squibb of $1.2 billion, or $0.60 per share, during the third quarter of 2024 compared to $1.9 billion, or $0.93 per share, for the same period a year ago. The company reported non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Bristol Myers Squibb of $3.7 billion, or $1.80 per share, during the third quarter of 2024 compared to $4.1 billion, or $2.00 per share, for the same period a year ago.
