Positive Outlook
- Expected operational revenue growth of 8% to 10% compared to 2023 revenues, excluding Comirnaty and Paxlovid and including the impact of Seagen.
- Anticipated operating margin improvement from the company’s cost realignment activities.
Challenges Ahead
- An expected $0.40 dilutive impact related to the Seagen acquisition, which is predominantly driven by costs to finance the transaction.
- Assumes no share repurchases in 2024.
- Anticipated immaterial impact in fiscal-year 2024 of recent and expected generic and biosimilar competition for certain products that have recently lost patent protection or that are anticipated to lose patent protection.
- Exchange rates assumed are actual rates at mid-November 2023. Financial guidance reflects the anticipated unfavorable impact of approximately $0.3 billion on revenues and approximately $0.01 on Adjusted(3) diluted EPS as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar compared to foreign exchange rates from 2023.
- Does not assume the completion of any business development transactions not completed as of December 31, 2023.
