Recent Events

  • AbbVie announced that its board of directors unanimously elected chief executive officer (CEO) Robert A. Michael to assume the additional position of chairman of the board of directors, effective July 1, 2025 . He will succeed Richard A. Gonzalez , who formerly served as AbbVie's CEO and has been chairman since the Company's formation in 2013.
  • AbbVie announced that the European Commission (EC) granted marketing authorization to Rinvoq (upadacitinib) for the treatment of giant cell arteritis (GCA) in adult patients. The approval was supported by data from the pivotal Phase 3 SELECT-GCA trial which demonstrated that Rinvoq achieved the primary endpoint of sustained remission and key secondary endpoints, including reduction in disease flares, lower cumulative steroid exposure and complete remission. This authorization marks the eighth approved indication for Rinvoq in the European Union (EU).
  • At the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) Annual Meeting, AbbVie announced final data analysis from the Phase 3 MIRASOL trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) in women with folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) compared to chemotherapy. At 30.5 months median follow-up, treatment with Elahere continued to show significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to investigator's choice (IC) chemotherapy.
  • AbbVie and Xilio Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced a collaboration and option-to-license agreement that will combine AbbVie's oncology expertise with Xilio's proprietary tumor-activation technology to develop novel immunotherapies, including masked T-cell engagers, for people living with cancer.
  • AbbVie announced that it submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of trenibotulinumtoxinE (BoNT/E) for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines. TrenibotulinumtoxinE is a first-in-class botulinum neurotoxin serotype E characterized by a rapid onset of action as early as 8 hours after administration and short duration of effect of 2-3 weeks. If approved, trenibotulinumtoxinE will be the first neurotoxin of its kind available to patients.
  • Allergan Aesthetics announced that the Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) will open three new state-of-the-art training centers in the U.S., expanding access to high-quality, tailored training for licensed aesthetics providers. The first training center is scheduled to open in Irvine, CA , with additional locations to follow in Atlanta, GA and Austin, TX.
  • AbbVie and Gubra announced a license agreement to develop GUB014295 (ABBV-295), a potential best-in-class, long-acting amylin analog for the treatment of obesity. This partnership marks AbbVie's entrance into the obesity field and under the terms of the agreement, AbbVie will lead development and commercialization of GUB014295 globally. Prior to the close of the agreement, Gubra announced positive interim results from Part A of a Phase 1 multiple ascending dose (MAD) study, which showed that GUB014295 was well tolerated with body weight loss that was sustained in a manner consistent with data from a previously announced single ascending dose (SAD) study.
  • AbbVie announced that the FDA approved Emblaveo (aztreonam and avibactam), as the first monobactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination antibiotic therapy to treat complicated intra-abdominal infections, including those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. The approval of Emblaveo was supported by prior findings regarding the efficacy and safety of aztreonam for the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infections as well as clinical trial results from the Phase 3 REVISIT study, which evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Emblaveo for the treatment of serious infections due to Gram-negative bacteria.

Full-Year 2025 Outlook

AbbVie is raising its adjusted diluted EPS guidance for the full year 2025 from $11.99 - $12.19 to $12.09 - $12.29 , which includes an unfavorable impact of $0.13 per share related to acquired IPR&D and milestones expense incurred year-to-date through the first quarter 2025. The company's 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes any impact from acquired IPR&D and milestones that may be incurred beyond the first quarter of 2025, as both cannot be reliably forecasted. This guidance does not reflect the acquired IPR&D and milestones impact related to AbbVie and Gubra's licensing agreement to develop GUB014295, as that transaction closed after the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, this guidance is based on the existing trade environment and does not reflect any trade policy shifts, including pharmaceutical sector tariffs, that could impact AbbVie's business.

Non-GAAP Financial Results

Financial results for 2025 and 2024 are presented on both a reported and a non-GAAP basis. Reported results were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all revenue and expenses recognized during the period. Non-GAAP results adjust for certain non-cash items and for factors that are unusual or unpredictable, and exclude those costs, expenses, and other specified items presented in the reconciliation tables later in this release. AbbVie's management believes non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding AbbVie's results of operations and assist management, analysts, and investors in evaluating the performance of the business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Women entrepreneurs continue to break barriers in the business world, with increasing efforts to close the Confidence Gap.

Approved Uses
BOTOX ® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow's feet lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and vertical bands connecting the jaw and neck (platysma bands) in adults.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

BOTOX ® Cosmetic may cause serious side effects that can be life threatening. Get medical help right away if you have any of these problems any time (hours to weeks) after injection of BOTOX ® Cosmetic:

  • Problems swallowing, speaking, or breathing, due to weakening of associated muscles, which can be severe and result in loss of life. You are at the highest risk if these problems are preexisting before injection. Swallowing problems may last for several months.
  • Spread of toxin effects. The effect of botulinum toxin may affect areas away from the injection site and cause serious symptoms, including loss of strength and all-over muscle weakness, double vision, blurred vision and drooping eyelids, hoarseness or change or loss of voice, trouble saying words clearly, loss of bladder control, trouble breathing, and trouble swallowing.

BOTOX ® Cosmetic dosing units are not the same as, or comparable to, any other botulinum toxin product.

There has not been a confirmed serious case of spread of toxin effect when BOTOX ® Cosmetic has been used at the recommended dose to treat frown lines, crow's feet lines, forehead lines, and/or platysma bands.

BOTOX ® Cosmetic may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, vision problems, or dizziness within hours to weeks of receiving BOTOX ® Cosmetic. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.

Serious and/or immediate allergic reactions have been reported, including itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Get medical help right away if you are wheezing or have asthma symptoms, or if you become dizzy or faint.

Do not receive BOTOX ® Cosmetic if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in BOTOX ® Cosmetic (see Medication Guide for ingredients); had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc (rimabotulinumtoxinB), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs), Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm), or Letybo (letibotulinumtoxinA-wlbg); or have a skin infection at the planned injection site. This list may not include all available botulinum toxin products.

Tell your doctor about all your muscle or nerve conditions, such as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, as you may be at increased risk of serious side effects, including difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing, from standard doses of BOTOX ® Cosmetic.

Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including surgery or plans to have surgery on your face, trouble raising your eyebrows, drooping eyelids, any other abnormal facial change, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if BOTOX ® Cosmetic can harm your unborn baby), or are breastfeeding or plan to (it is not known if BOTOX ® Cosmetic passes into breast milk).

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Using BOTOX ® Cosmetic with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received BOTOX ® Cosmetic in the past.

Tell your doctor if you have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months; have received injections of botulinum toxin such as Myobloc, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, Daxxify, or Letybo in the past (tell your doctor exactly which product you received); have recently received an antibiotic by injection; take muscle relaxants; take an allergy or cold medicine; take a sleep medicine; or take aspirin-like products or blood thinners.

Other side effects of BOTOX ® Cosmetic include dry mouth; discomfort or pain at the injection site; tiredness; headache; neck pain; and eye problems, including double vision, blurred vision, decreased eyesight, drooping eyelids and eyebrows, swelling of eyelids, and dry eyes.
