THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024 versus comparable periods in 2023. "Robust growth in sales and earnings throughout 2024 reflects the momentum of our business. With strong performance globally, we are investing heavily in our rapidly advancing pipeline to deliver innovative therapies across our four therapeutic areas," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer. Key results include: For the fourth quarter, total revenues increased 11% to $9.1 billion in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2023. Product sales grew 11%, primarily driven by 14% volume growth. Excluding sales from our Horizon Therapeutics (Horizon) acquisition, product sales grew 10%, driven by volume growth of 15%. Ten products delivered at least double-digit sales growth in the fourth quarter, including Repatha® (evolocumab), BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab), TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab-ekko), EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg) and TAVNEOS® (avacopan). Our performance included $1.2 billion of sales from our rare disease products, driven by several first-in-class, early-in-lifecycle medicines, including TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw), KRYSTEXXA® (pegloticase), UPLIZNA® (inebilizumab-cdon) and TAVNEOS®. For the full year, total revenues increased 19% to $33.4 billion in comparison to the full year of 2023. Product sales grew 19%, primarily driven by 23% volume growth, partially offset by 2% lower net selling price. Excluding sales from our Horizon acquisition, product sales grew 7%, driven by volume growth of 11%. Ten products delivered at least double-digit sales growth for the full year, including Repatha®, TEZSPIRE®, EVENITY®, BLINCYTO® and TAVNEOS®. 21 products achieved record sales for the full year. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) decreased 18% from $1.42 to $1.16 for the fourth quarter, primarily driven by mark-to-market losses on our equity investments, partially offset by higher revenues. For the full year, GAAP EPS decreased 39% from $12.49 to $7.56, primarily driven by higher operating expenses, including amortization expense from Horizon acquisition-related assets and incremental operating expenses from Horizon, and overall mark-to-market losses on our equity investments in 2024, partially offset by higher revenues. For the fourth quarter, GAAP operating income increased from $1.3 billion to $2.3 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 10.3 percentage points to 26.5%. For the full year, GAAP operating income decreased from $7.9 billion to $7.3 billion, and GAAP operating margin decreased 6.6 percentage points to 22.7%. Non-GAAP EPS increased 13% from $4.71 to $5.31 for the fourth quarter, driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses. For the full year, non-GAAP EPS increased 6% from $18.65 to $19.84, driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses, including incremental operating expenses from Horizon, and higher interest expense. For the fourth quarter, non-GAAP operating income increased from $3.7 billion to $4.0 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin decreased 0.4 percentage points to 46.3%. For the full year, non-GAAP operating income increased from $13.4 billion to $15.0 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin decreased 2.9 percentage points to 46.9%. The Company generated $10.4 billion of free cash flow for the full year versus $7.4 billion in 2023, driven by business performance and timing of working capital items, primarily collections, partially offset by higher net interest expense. References in this release to "non-GAAP" measures, measures presented "on a non-GAAP basis," "free cash flow" (computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow), "EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization" (computed by adding interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense to GAAP net income) and "debt leverage ratio" (calculated as the ratio of GAAP total debt to EBITDA) refer to non-GAAP financial measures. Adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other items are presented on the attached reconciliations. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further discussion. Product Sales Performance General Medicine Repatha® (evolocumab) sales increased 45% year-over-year to $606 million in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by volume growth. Full year sales increased 36%, primarily driven by 43% volume growth, partially offset by 10% lower net selling price. For 2025, we expect lower declines in net selling price. EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg) sales increased 36% year-over-year to $431 million in the fourth quarter and 35% for the full year, driven by volume growth. Prolia® (denosumab) sales increased 5% year-over-year to $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter and 8% for the full year, driven by volume growth. For 2025, we expect sales erosion driven by biosimilar competition. Rare Disease Except for TAVNEOS®, the products listed below were added through the acquisition of Horizon on Oct. 6, 2023. TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw) generated $460 million of sales in the fourth quarter and $1.9 billion for the full year. TEPEZZA is the first and only approved treatment for thyroid eye disease (TED) in the U.S. and Japan. KRYSTEXXA® (pegloticase) generated $346 million of sales in the fourth quarter and $1.2 billion for the full year. KRYSTEXXA is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for chronic refractory gout. UPLIZNA® (inebilizumab-cdon) generated $101 million of sales in the fourth quarter and $379 million for the full year. UPLIZNA is used to treat adults with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). TAVNEOS® (avacopan) generated $81 million of sales in the fourth quarter.

Sales decreased 3% for the full year, primarily driven by 8% lower net selling price, partially offset by 3% volume growth. Enbrel® (etanercept) sales were flat year-over-year at $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter as 7% favorable changes to estimated sales deductions were offset by lower net selling price. Full year sales decreased 10%, driven by lower net selling price. For 2025, we expect continued declining net selling price and relatively flat volumes. We expect Otezla and Enbrel to follow the historical pattern of lower sales in the first quarter relative to subsequent quarters due to the impact of benefit plan changes, insurance reverification and increased co-pay expenses as U.S. patients work through deductibles. AMJEVITA®/AMGEVITA™ (adalimumab) sales increased 84% year-over-year to $294 million in the fourth quarter and 22% for the full year, driven by volume growth, partially offset by lower net selling price.

Excluding a fourth quarter 2023 U.S. government order of $62 million, Nplate sales grew 4% year-over-year in the fourth quarter, driven by volume growth. Full year sales decreased 1%. U.S. government orders were $128 million in 2024 compared to $286 million in 2023. Excluding these U.S. government orders, Nplate sales grew 12% year-over-year for the full year, driven by 8% volume growth and 6% higher net selling price. IMDELLTRA® (tarlatamab-dlle) generated $67 million of sales in the fourth quarter. Sales increased 86% quarter-over-quarter, driven by volume growth and inventory levels.

Sales decreased 19% for the full year, driven by volume declines, lower net selling price and unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions. Product Sales Detail by Product and Geographic Region Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis On a GAAP basis: Total Operating Expenses decreased 2% year-over-year for the fourth quarter and increased 29% for the full year. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales decreased 4.0 percentage points for the fourth quarter primarily driven by lower amortization expense from the fair value step-up of inventory acquired from Horizon, partially offset by changes in our sales mix, and higher profit share and royalty expense. For the full year, cost of sales as a percentage of product sales increased 8.7 percentage points driven by higher amortization expense from Horizon acquisition-related assets and, to a lesser extent, higher profit share and royalty expense, partially offset by the Puerto Rico excise tax. Research & Development (R&D) expenses increased 12% for the fourth quarter driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs, partially offset by lower research and early pipeline spend. R&D expenses increased 25% for the full year driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs and marketed products support, including spend from Horizon-acquired programs. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 17% for the fourth quarter primarily driven by lower Horizon acquisition-related expenses. SG&A expenses increased 15% for the full year primarily driven by expenses from the acquired Horizon business and other commercial expenses, partially offset by lower Horizon acquisition-related expenses incurred in 2024. Other operating expenses for the full year primarily consisted of impairment charges associated with in-process R&D (IPR&D) intangible assets related to our Teneobio, Inc. acquisition in 2021 and expenses related to cost-savings initiatives incurred in 2024. Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales increased 10.3 percentage points to 26.5% for the fourth quarter and decreased 6.6 percentage points to 22.7% for the full year. Tax Rate increased 9.8 percentage points in the fourth quarter and decreased 3.2 percentage points for the full year. The fourth quarter tax rate increase was related to deferred tax adjustments associated with the U.S. minimum tax on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and prior year favorable items, partially offset by the change in earnings mix as a result of the fourth quarter 2024 unrealized losses on our strategic equity investments (primarily BeiGene). The full year tax rate decrease was due to the change in earnings mix, including the net unrealized impacts of our strategic equity investments (primarily BeiGene), partially offset by the deferred tax adjustments associated with the U.S. minimum tax on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. On a non-GAAP basis: Total Operating Expenses increased 11% year-over-year for the fourth quarter and increased 24% for the full year. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales increased 1.3 percentage points for the fourth quarter driven by changes in our sales mix, and higher profit share and royalty expense. Cost of sales as a percentage of product sales increased 0.9 percentage points for the full year driven by higher profit share and royalty expense, partially offset by the Puerto Rico excise tax. R&D expenses increased 14% for the fourth quarter driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs, partially offset by lower spend in research and early pipeline. R&D expenses increased 25% for the full year driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs and marketed products support, including spend from Horizon-acquired programs. SG&A expenses increased 3% for the fourth quarter driven by higher general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses increased 23% for the full year primarily driven by expenses from the acquired Horizon business and other marketed product expenses. Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales decreased 0.4 percentage points to 46.3% for the fourth quarter and decreased 2.9 percentage points to 46.9% for the full year. Tax Rate decreased 1.1 percentage points for the fourth quarter and decreased 2.0 percentage points for the full year. The fourth quarter tax rate decrease was primarily due to the change in earnings mix and net favorable items as compared to the prior year. The full year tax rate decrease was primarily due to the change in earnings mix as a result of the inclusion of the Horizon business and net favorable items as compared to the prior year. Cash Flow and Balance Sheet The Company generated a record $4.4 billion of free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2024 versus $0.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by timing of tax payments, timing of working capital, primarily collections, lower transaction expenses compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, which included significant costs tied to the closing of the Horizon acquisition, and business performance. The Company generated $10.4 billion of free cash flow for the full year 2024 versus $7.4 billion in 2023. The Company's fourth quarter 2024 dividend of $2.25 per share was declared on October 25, 2024, and was paid on December 9, 2024, to all stockholders of record as of November 18, 2024, representing a 6% increase from the same period in 2023. During the fourth quarter, there were no repayments or extinguishments of debt. For the full year 2024, the Company reduced principal debt outstanding by $4.5 billion. For the fourth quarter and full year, the Company repurchased 0.7 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $200 million. Cash and investments totaled $12.0 billion and debt outstanding totaled $60.1 billion as of December 31, 2024.

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.
