Forward Guidance

Pfizer provides full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $67.0 to $71.0 billion and adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $3.25 to $3.45. Excluding COVID-19 products, revenues are expected to grow 7% to 9% operationally.

Positive Outlook

  • Growth expected to be split among each of three categories: launch, acquired and in-line products
  • Estimated proportion of U.S. population that receives a vaccine ~24%
  • Estimated number of doses per vaccinated person per year, on average~1.3 doses
  • Estimated Comirnaty market share - U.S.~64%
  • Estimated total demand for Paxlovid - global*, excluding China (includes use of existing government supply)~17 million courses

Challenges Ahead

  • Company revenues are anticipated to be lower in 2023 than in 2022 due entirely to expected revenue declines for Pfizer’s COVID-19 products.
  • Comirnaty revenues of approximately $13.5 billion, down 64% from actual 2022 results.
  • Paxlovid revenues of approximately $8 billion, down 58% from actual 2022 results.
  • The midpoint of the guidance range for Adjusted diluted EPS reflects a 49% operational decrease compared to 2022, primarily driven by anticipated lower revenues from COVID-19 products,
  • Financial guidance for Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated using approximately 5.75 billion weighted average shares outstanding, and assumes no share repurchases in 2023.
