Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY) today reports results for the third quarter of 2022, which reflect strong in-line and new product portfolio growth.

"Our strong results reflect growth of our in-line and new product portfolios," said Giovanni Caforio, M.D. , board chair and chief executive officer, Bristol Myers Squibb. "Our teams continue to progress our pipeline and achieve significant regulatory and clinical milestones, including the approval of Sotyktu , a first-in-class, TYK2 inhibitor, to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Our nine new product launches over the last three years including three first-in-class launches this year, combined with progress in our robust and diverse product pipeline, have built a strong foundation for our company. Combined with our financial strength and talented employees, Bristol Myers Squibb is well positioned for growth and to advance new medicines for patients."

¹ Acquired IPRD refers to certain in-process research and development ("Acquired IPRD") charges resulting from upfront or contingent milestone payments in connection with asset acquisitions or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights.

* GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share include the net impact of Acquired IPRD charges and licensing income which increased by $0.02 per share in the third quarter of 2022 compared to a reduction of ($0.09) per share in the third quarter of 2021.

THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

All comparisons are made versus the same period in 2021 unless otherwise stated.

• Bristol Myers Squibb posted third quarter revenues of $11.2 billion, a decrease of 3%, driven by recent LOE products (primarily Revlimid ) and foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by in-line products (primarily Eliquis and Opdivo ) and our new product portfolio (primarily Opdualag, Abecma and Reblozyl ). When adjusted for foreign exchange impacts, third quarter revenues remained consistent. Our in-line and new product portfolio increased 8% to $8.6 billion, or 13% when adjusted for foreign exchange impacts.
• U.S. revenues increased 9% to $7.9 billion in the quarter. International revenues decreased 24% to $3.3 billion in the quarter. When adjusted for foreign exchange impacts, international revenues decreased 14%, primarily due to lower demand of Revlimid as a result of generic erosion, partially offset by in-line products (primarily Opdivo ) and our new product portfolio.
• Gross margin decreased from 80.3% to 79.0% and on a non-GAAP basis, decreased from 81.1% to 79.8% in the quarter primarily due to product mix, partially offset by foreign exchange impacts and related hedging settlements.
• Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased 8% to $1.9 billion in the quarter, primarily due to higher costs to support new product launches and cash settlement of Turning Point Therapeutics, Inc. ("Turning Point") unvested stock awards, partially offset by foreign exchange impacts. On a non-GAAP basis, marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased 4% to $1.9 billion primarily due to higher investments to support new product launches, partially offset by foreign exchange impacts.
• Research and development expenses decreased 19% to $2.4 billion in the quarter, primarily due to an in-process research and development (IPRD) impairment charge in 2021, timing of clinical development spend and foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by cash settlement of Turning Point unvested stock awards. On a non-GAAP basis, research and development expenses decreased 5% to $2.3 billion in the quarter primarily due to timing of clinical development spend and foreign exchange impacts.
• Acquired IPRD decreased from $271 million in the same period a year ago to $30 million in the current quarter. Acquired IPRD in the current quarter is related to the GentiBio licensing transaction. Acquired IPRD in the same period a year ago was primarily related to the Agenus licensing transaction ($200 million).
• Amortization of acquired intangible assets decreased 5% to $2.4 billion in the quarter, primarily due to a change in the expected expiration of the market exclusivity period for Pomalyst to the first quarter of 2026.
• The GAAP effective tax rate changed from 28.0% to 27.2% in the quarter and non-GAAP effective tax rate changed from 14.6% to 16.9% in the quarter due to changes in previously estimated annual effective tax rates due to jurisdictional earnings mix.
• The company reported net earnings attributable to Bristol Myers Squibb of $1.6 billion, or $0.75 per share, in the third quarter, compared to $1.5 billion, or $0.69 per share, for the same period a year ago. In addition to the items discussed above, the results include the impact of fair value adjustments on equity investments in both periods.
• The company reported non-GAAP net earnings attributable to Bristol Myers Squibb of $4.3 billion, or $1.99 per share, in the third quarter, compared to non-GAAP net earnings of $4.3 billion, or $1.93 per share, for the same period a year ago.
• In addition to the items discussed above, the earnings per share results in the current period include the impact of lower weighted-average common shares outstanding.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2022, significant R&D charges or other income resulting from upfront or contingent milestone payments in connection with asset acquisitions or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights are no longer excluded from non-GAAP results. These R&D charges that were previously specified are now presented in a new financial statement line item labeled Acquired IPRD. GAAP and non-GAAP earnings per share include the net impact of Acquired IPRD charges and licensing income which increased by $0.02 per share in the third quarter of 2022 compared to a reduction of ($0.09) per share in the third quarter of 2021. For purposes of comparability, the non-GAAP financial results for the third quarter of 2021 have been updated to reflect this change. A discussion of the non-GAAP financial measures is included under the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" section.

REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS

In-Line Products

Revenues for in-line products in the third quarter were $8.1 billion compared to $7.7 billion in the prior year period, representing an increase of 5% or 10% when adjusted for foreign exchange. In-line products revenue was largely driven by:

• Eliquis revenues grew 10% compared to the prior year period. U.S. revenues were $1.7 billion compared to $1.3 billion in the prior year period, representing an increase of 31% driven primarily by demand growth and favorable gross to net adjustments. International revenues were $926 million compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year period, representing a decrease of 16% driven by foreign exchange impacts and lower average net selling prices. When adjusted for foreign exchange impacts, Eliquis' international revenues declined 2%.
• Opdivo revenues increased 7% compared to the prior year period. U.S. revenues were $1.2 billion compared to $1.1 billion in the prior year period, representing an increase of 17% driven by higher demand across multiple indications, including Opdivo plus Yervoy- based combinations for non-small cell lung cancer, Opdivo plus Cabometyx ^® combination for kidney cancer, and Opdivo -based therapies for various gastric, bladder and esophageal cancers, partially offset by declining second-line eligibility across tumors and increased competition. International revenues were $804 million compared to $843 million in the prior year period, representing a decrease of 5% driven by foreign exchange impacts, partially offset by higher demand as a result of launches for additional indications and core indications. When adjusted for foreign exchange impacts, Opdivo's international revenues increased 8%.

New Product Portfolio

• New product portfolio revenues grew to $553 million compared to $344 million in the prior year period, representing growth of 61% driven by the launch of Opdualag   and higher demand for Abecma and Reblozyl . Excluding foreign exchange, new product portfolio revenues grew 66%.

Recent LOE Products

• Revlimid revenues declined by 28% compared to the prior year period. U.S. revenues decreased 6% to $2.2 billion as compared to the prior year period primarily driven by lower demand as a result of generic erosion. International revenues were $250 million compared to $1.0 billion in the prior year period, representing a decrease of 76% driven by lower demand as a result of generic erosion and to a lesser extent, foreign exchange impacts.

Financial Guidance

Bristol Myers Squibb is adjusting its 2022 GAAP line-item guidance as follows:

Adjusting GAAP EPS guidance primarily due to the acquisition of Turning Point and reaffirming non-GAAP EPS guidance.

Key 2022 GAAP and non-GAAP line-item guidance assumptions are:

¹ Key LOE Products = Revlimid and Abraxane

² Operating Expenses = MS&A and R&D, excluding Acquired IPRD and Amortization of acquired intangible assets

³ July guidance includes YTD net impact of ($0.24) from Acquired IPRD and licensing income; October guidance includes net impact of ($0.22) from Acquired IPRD and licensing income

The 2022 financial guidance excludes the impact of any potential future strategic acquisitions and divestitures, and any specified items that have not yet been identified and quantified and impact of future Acquired IPRD charges. To the extent we have quantified the impact of significant R&D charges or other income resulting from upfront or contingent milestone payments in connection with asset acquisitions or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights, we may update this information from time to time on our website, www.bms.com , in the "Investors" section. GAAP and non-GAAP guidance assume current exchange rates. The 2022 non-GAAP EPS guidance is further explained under "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information." The financial guidance is subject to risks and uncertainties applicable to all forward-looking statements as described elsewhere in this press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In discussing financial results and guidance, the company refers to financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial measures presented in this press release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and are presented because management has evaluated the company's financial results both including and excluding the adjusted items or the effects of foreign currency translation, as applicable, and believes that the non-GAAP financial measures presented portray the results of the company's baseline performance, supplement or enhance management, analysts and investors overall understanding of the company's underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods. In addition, non-GAAP gross margin, which is gross profit excluding certain specified items, as a percentage of revenues, non-GAAP operating expenses, which is marketing, selling and administrative and research and development expenses excluding certain specified items, non-GAAP marketing, selling and administrative expenses, which is marketing, selling and administrative expense excluding certain specified items, and non-GAAP research and development expenses, which is research and development expenses excluding certain specified items, are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to view performance in a manner similar to the method used by our management and make it easier for investors, analysts and peers to compare our operating performance to other companies in our industry and to compare our year-over-year results.

This earnings release and the accompanying tables also provide certain revenues and expenses as well as non-GAAP measures excluding the impact of foreign exchange. We calculate foreign exchange impacts by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior period average currency rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results.

Non-GAAP financial measures such as non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that are evaluated on an individual basis after considering their quantitative and qualitative aspects and typically have one or more of the following characteristics, such as being highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of past or future operating results. These items are excluded from non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information because the company believes they neither relate to the ordinary course of the company's business nor reflect the company's underlying business performance. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods, including amortization of acquired intangible assets, including product rights that generate a significant portion of our ongoing revenue and will recur until the intangible assets are fully amortized, unwind of inventory purchase price adjustments, acquisition and integration expenses, restructuring costs, accelerated depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, divestiture gains or losses, stock compensation resulting from acquisition-related equity awards, pension, legal and other contractual settlement charges, equity investment and contingent value rights fair value adjustments (including fair value adjustments attributed to limited partnership equity method investments) and amortization of fair value adjustments of debt acquired from Celgene in our 2019 exchange offer, among other items. Deferred and current income taxes attributed to these items are also adjusted for considering their individual impact to the overall tax expense, deductibility and jurisdictional tax rates.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2022, significant R&D charges or other income resulting from upfront or contingent milestone payments in connection with asset acquisitions or licensing of third-party intellectual property rights are no longer excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures. We made these changes to our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures following comments from and discussions with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For purposes of comparability, the non-GAAP financial measures for the prior periods have been updated to reflect this change.

Because the non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial measures presented in the press release that are prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the accompanying financial tables and will also be available on the company's website at www.bms.com . Within the attached financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers.

Also note that a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses and non-GAAP tax rate is not provided because comparable GAAP measures for such measures are not reasonably accessible or reliable due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying measures that would be necessary for such reconciliation. Namely, we are not able to reliably predict the impact of specified items or currency exchange rates beyond the next twelve months. In addition, the company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. The variability of the specified items may have a significant and unpredictable impact on our future GAAP results.

All statements that are not statements of historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, the company's ability to execute successfully its strategic plans, including its business development strategy and capital allocation strategy, planned product launches and updates, expectations relating to its pipeline and in relation to its ability to realize the projected benefits of the Celgene acquisition and the MyoKardia acquisition, the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's operations and the development and commercialization of its products, potential laws and regulations to lower drug costs, market actions taken by private and government payers to manage drug utilization and contain costs, the expiration of patents or data protection on certain products, including assumptions about the company's ability to retain patent exclusivity of certain products, and the impact and the result of governmental investigations. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, including that the company's future clinical studies will support the data described in this release, product candidates will receive necessary clinical and manufacturing regulatory approvals, pipeline products will prove to be commercially successful, clinical and manufacturing regulatory approvals will be sought or obtained within currently expected timeframes, or that contractual milestones will be achieved.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about the company's future financial results, goals, plans and objectives and involve inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years, that are difficult to predict, may be beyond the company's control and could cause the company's future financial results, goals, plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other matters include, but are not limited to: increasing pricing pressures from market access, pharmaceutical pricing controls and discounting; changes to tax and importation laws and other restrictions in the United States, the European Union and other regions around the world that result in lower prices, lower reimbursement rates and smaller populations for whom payers will reimburse; changes under the 340B Drug Pricing Program; challenges inherent in new product development, including obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval; the company's ability to obtain and protect market exclusivity rights and enforce patents and other intellectual property rights; the possibility of difficulties and delays in product introduction and commercialization; the risk of certain novel approaches to disease treatment (such as CAR T therapy); industry competition from other manufacturers; potential difficulties, delays and disruptions in manufacturing, distribution or sale of products, including without limitation, interruptions caused by damage to the company's and the company's suppliers' manufacturing sites; the impact of integrating the company's and Celgene's business and operations, including with respect to human capital management, portfolio rationalization, finance and accounting systems, sales operations and product distribution, pricing systems and methodologies, data security systems, compliance programs and internal controls processes; the risk of an adverse patent litigation decision or settlement and exposure to other litigation and/or regulatory actions; the impact of any healthcare reform and legislation or regulatory action in the United States and international markets; increasing market penetration of lower-priced generic products; the failure of the company's suppliers, vendors, outsourcing partners, alliance partners and other third parties to meet their contractual, regulatory and other obligations; regulatory decisions impacting labeling, manufacturing processes and/or other matters; the impact on the company's competitive position from counterfeit or unregistered versions of its products or stolen products; the adverse impact of cyber-attacks on the company's information systems or products, including unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or other confidential data stored in the company's information systems and networks; the company's ability to execute its financial, strategic and operational plans; the company's ability to identify potential strategic acquisitions, licensing opportunities or other beneficial transactions; the company's dependency on several key products; any decline in the company's future royalty streams; the company's ability to effectively manage acquisitions, divestitures, alliances and other portfolio actions and to successfully realize the expected benefits of such actions; the company's ability to attract and retain key personnel; the impact of the company's significant additional indebtedness that it incurred in connection with the Celgene acquisition and the MyoKardia acquisition; political and financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk including as a result of the Russian Federation-Ukraine conflict; interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations, credit and foreign exchange risk management; the impact of adverse outcomes in lawsuits, claims, proceedings and government investigations; the impact of our exclusive forum provision in our by-laws for certain lawsuits on our stockholders' ability to obtain a judicial forum that it finds favorable for such lawsuits; issuance of new or revised accounting standards; and risks relating to public health outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company's operations. In addition, the financial guidance provided in this release relies on assumptions about the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, timing of the return to a more stable business environment, patient and physician behaviors, buying patterns and clinical trial activities, which may prove to be incorrect.

Forward-looking statements in this earnings release should be evaluated together with the many risks and uncertainties that affect the company's business and market, particularly those identified in the cautionary statement and risk factors discussion in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as updated by the company's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
