Cizzle Brands Secures Distribution for CWENCH Hydration at MacEwen-Owned Gas Stations in Ontario and Quebec
The availability of CWENCH Hydration at 54 MacEwen-owned Esso , Shell , MacEwen and Quickie gas stations is a direct result of the recently announced distribution agreement between Cizzle Brands Corporation and Keurig Dr Pepper Canada subsidiary Van Houtte Coffee Services ("VHCS"), which distributes to over 30,000 commercial sites across Canada. This agreement with VHCS has already yielded meaningful results in helping to commercialize CWENCH Hydration™.
Cizzle Brands Corporation (Cboe Canada: CZZL) (OTC: CZZLF) (Frankfurt: 8YF) ( the "Company" or "Cizzle Brands") is pleased to announce that the Blue Raspberry and Rainbow ready-to-drink ("RTD") flavours of its flagship brand CWENCH Hydration™ are now being carried in 54 Esso , Shell , MacEwen , and Quickie gas stations in Ontario and Quebec that are owned and operated by MacEwen Petroleum .

This chain placement of CWENCH Hydration™ products was secured by Van Houtte Coffee Services ("VHCS"), which is a subsidiary of Keurig Canada Inc., doing business as Keurig Dr Pepper Canada. In a press release dated January 29, 2025 , Cizzle Brands announced its distribution agreement with VHCS, in which VHCS would distribute the Company's product lines across Canada and take over distributorship for certain existing Cizzle Brands accounts in categories including sporting goods retailers and stadiums.
Cizzle Brands highlights the following aspects of the MacEwen placement, with respect to the foreseeable business value that can be generated through the Company's relationship with VHCS:
- Within just the first few weeks of distributing for Cizzle Brands, VHCS has already landed a full-chain placement with an operator of 54 retail locations in two provinces under major banners that include Esso and Shell;
- This placement has also brought CWENCH Hydration™ into the gas/convenience channel, a retail category in which single-serving beverages are often purchased routinely by consumers;
- VHCS services over 30,000 commercial sites in total, meaning that there is tremendous untapped potential for CWENCH Hydration™ and potentially other Cizzle Brands products to be placed within a portfolio of tens of thousands of points of sale/consumption across Canada; and
- With established and highly efficient infrastructure for warehousing, distribution, and last-mile delivery, VHCS provides the ability to instantly scale CWENCH Hydration™'s Canadian footprint in a way that preserves Cizzle Brands' margins without the cost burden of creating or maintaining a logistics network.
Cizzle Brands Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, John Celenza commented, "Working with VHCS was a transformational step for Cizzle Brands, as it enables us to commercialize CWENCH Hydration™ at a mass scale in a short amount of time. Making the product available to consumers in convenient locations is a key part of driving brand adoption in the beverage category, and this partnership with VHCS gives us the ability to accelerate that availability at a scale that is not normally possible for newer brands on the market. More specifically, major beverage distributors such as Keurig Dr Pepper do not normally take on brands that have only recently launched. Following the market debut of CWENCH Hydration™ in May of 2024, we have steadily built grassroots-level demand, and we believe that VHCS will be an important catalyst for this natural next step in our growth journey. CWENCH Hydration™ has only been placed in a small percentage of VHCS' accounts so far, and just a couple of weeks into the relationship, this truly is just the beginning."

Cizzle Brands Corporation Becomes Title Sponsor of the CWENCH All Canadian Volleyball Games
Entering its third year, the CWENCH All Canadian Volleyball Games is Canada's premier girls' volleyball event. Set to take the national stage with live streaming on CBC Gem, the event features 60 of Canada's top-performing girls' volleyball players in each of the 17U and 16U age categories. As a proudly Canadian house of brands, this sponsorship is part of Cizzle Brands' ongoing initiatives to support youth sports in Canada.
Cizzle Brands Corporation (Cboe Canada: CZZL) (OTC: CZZLF) (Frankfurt: 8YF) ( the "Company" or "Cizzle Brands") is pleased to announce that its flagship brand CWENCH Hydration™ has become the title sponsor of the CWENCH All Canadian Volleyball Games (the " Event "), Canada's premier annual girls' volleyball event, which is taking place this year at the Athlete Institute in Orangeville, Ontario on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250206101209/en/

Started in 2023, the All Canadian Volleyball Games has become a highly recognized and exclusive event for girls' volleyball, which received over 66 million views and impressions in its first year. As an invitation-only event for Canada's most elite girls' volleyball players, many of the participants in previous All Canadian Volleyball Games have gone on to be recruited by post-secondary institutions on athletic scholarships.
The Event was founded by Gerry Dee , a Canadian actor, director, and comedian who has hosted the televised Family Feud Canada game show since 2019. Gerry Dee's objective with the Event was to bolster visibility of girls' volleyball, a sport that he became passionate about as a father of two daughters who play the sport competitively. Cizzle Brands' Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer John Celenza also played a supporting role in the Event's launch in 2023.
In September 2024, the Associated Press reported that the popularity of girls' volleyball was at an all-time high with participation increasing every year since at least 1980 (excluding the 2020-21 pandemic year).
Under the five-year sponsorship agreement, Cizzle Brands will benefit from high-visibility placement of the CWENCH Hydration™ name and logo (on the volleyball court, arena signage, player jerseys, etc.) as part of the All Canadian Volleyball Games' marketing and recruitment initiatives, preliminary events, and the annual main event which will be live-broadcasted nationally on CBC Gem. The sponsorship agreement also provides for product placement of CWENCH Hydration™ as the sports drink provided to players and coaches/trainers, in addition to Spoken Nutrition nutraceutical supplements being made available for participants to use.
A replay of the 2024 Event can be viewed on YouTube through the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCJq4wNTP7s
Players who have competed in previous years include the following (along with the post-secondary institution at which they have committed or currently play), many of whom will return for the 2025 CWENCH All Canadian Volleyball Games:
Sydney Bell (Buffalo) | Maëli Cormier (Oregon State) | Remy Catojo (High Point) | Aly Donoghue (Duke) |
Lauren Edlund (Northern Arizona) | Jasmine Ellison (Oklahoma) | Brooke Fermaniuk (Northern Arizona) | Alyssa Flack (Oklahoma) |
Nikola Gamlin (Sacramento State) | Ashlyn Gent (Old Dominion) | Sara Gray (North Dakota) | Brooklyn Grobb-Prins (UTSA) |
Ella Hope (Arizona State) | Logan King (Long Beach) | Calinda Kok (USC) | Elodie Lalonde (High Point) |
Arianna Lonardi (Long Beach) | Emerson Matthews (Buffalo) | Avaya Maya (Oklahoma) | Sydney McDermott (Kansas State) |
Ana Nastase (Southern Methodist) | Ofure Odigie (Stanford) | Dumebi Okoye (Colorado) | Olivia Pasternak (Connecticut) |
Ella Piskorz (Pepperdine) | Trinity Schadd Ceres (Wisconsin) | Carmen Waye (Michigan State) | Sofia Zabjek (Colorado State) |
Grace Blaskovits (St. Mary's) | Chloe Bradley (UBC) | Emma Buntic (Western) | Jasmine Cormier (Calgary) |
Paisley Dickie (Trinity Western) | Tayana Dmitruk (Trinity Western) | Sienna Driedger (Trinity Western) | Athalia Duong (Western) |
Gabi Flaman (Saskatchewan) | Makenna Gillick (Trent) | Faith Hughes (Humber) | Sol Henson (UBC) |
Delfina Henson (UBC) | Trinity Lam (York) | Eva Lin (McMaster) | Julia Liu (Toronto) |
Julia Martens (Manitoba) | Faith Obasi (Mount Royal) | Raven Ogbodu (Mount Royal) | Abby Wasutyk (UBC) |
Toni Wilson (Western) | Jennifer Wu (McMaster) |
Cizzle Brands' sponsorship of the Event is the continuation of the Company's commitment to Canada and the nation's emerging athletes. In addition to the CWENCH All Canadian Volleyball Games, Cizzle Brands is a sponsor of The Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament, The CWENCH Next Gen Series, the BCHL, the KLEVR Network, Play Hockey, The Hockey Super League, HPL Hockey, The Brick Invitational Hockey Tournament and hundreds of youth hockey teams across the country.
Cizzle Brands Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, John Celenza commented, "Having been personally involved in the launch of the first All Canadian Volleyball Games back in 2023, I am particularly thrilled that CWENCH Hydration™ is becoming the title sponsor of the Event. Supporting Canadian youth sports across the country is core to who we are at Cizzle Brands and is more important than ever these days. Not only is it the right thing to do as proud Canadians, the fact is that the communities that we support return the investment in spades, giving patronage to our brands with incredible loyalty. We look forward to working with Gerry and supporting the players for the next five years, during which we foresee many opportunities to make a positive impact for girls' volleyball across Canada."
Regarding Cizzle Brands' sponsorship of the All Canadian Volleyball Games, Gerry Dee commented, "It is incredible to be working with John and his team again to support Canadian sports and girls' volleyball. This is a sport that I have grown to love because of my daughters Aly and Faith, whose participation in competitive volleyball has proven to play a key role in their journey into adulthood. As the CWENCH All Canadian Volleyball Games enters its third year, we could not be more excited to be working with Cizzle Brands as a sponsor and making CWENCH Hydration™ a valued part of the Event by providing an all-natural, sugar-free hydration option to Canada's most promising emerging volleyball stars."

AMGEN REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS
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 increased 84% year-over-year in the fourth quarter and 111% for the full year, primarily driven by volume growth. TAVNEOS is a first-in-class treatment for severe active anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis (ANCA-associated vasculitis).
- Ultra-Rare products , which consist of RAVICTI ® (glycerol phenylbutyrate) , PROCYSBI ® (cysteamine bitartrate) , ACTIMMUNE ® (interferon gamma-1b) , QUINSAIR ® (levofloxacin) and BUPHENYL ® (sodium phenylbutyrate) , generated $214 million of sales in the fourth quarter and $758 million for the full year.
Inflammation
- TEZSPIRE ® (tezepelumab-ekko) sales increased 67% year-over-year to $296 million in the fourth quarter and 71% for the full year, primarily driven by volume growth.
- Otezla ® (apremilast) sales decreased 1% year-over-year to $624 million in the fourth quarter, driven by 7% lower net selling price, partially offset by 5% volume growth. 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.

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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this news release, management has presented its operating results for the fourth quarters and full years of 2024 and 2023, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, management has presented its full year 2025 EPS and tax guidance in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are computed by excluding certain items related to acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring and certain other items from the related GAAP financial measures. Management has presented Free Cash Flow (FCF), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the fourth quarters and full years of 2024 and 2023. FCF is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management has also presented Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and debt leverage ratio for 2024, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is computed by adding interest expense, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense to GAAP net income. Debt leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of GAAP total debt to EBITDA.
The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to enhance an investor's overall understanding of the financial performance and prospects for the future of the Company's normal and recurring business activities by facilitating comparisons of results of normal and recurring business operations among current, past and future periods. The Company believes that FCF provides a further measure of the Company's liquidity. The Company believes its debt leverage ratio provides a supplemental operating metric for the full year period as it compares the amount of cash generated by our operations for the year.
The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth in the news release in connection with its own budgeting and financial planning internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. The non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Amgen. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any statements on the outcome, benefits and synergies of collaborations, or potential collaborations, with any other company (including BeiGene, Ltd. or Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd.), the performance of Otezla ® (apremilast) (including anticipated Otezla sales growth and the timing of non-GAAP EPS accretion), our acquisitions of Teneobio, Inc., ChemoCentryx, Inc., or Horizon (including the prospective performance and outlook of Horizon's business, performance and opportunities and any potential strategic benefits, synergies or opportunities expected as a result of such acquisition, and any projected impacts from the Horizon acquisition on our acquisition-related expenses going forward), as well as estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial metrics, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, reimbursement activities and outcomes, effects of pandemics or other widespread health problems on our business, outcomes, progress, and other such estimates and results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission reports filed by Amgen, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. 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.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustments related primarily to acquisition-related costs related to our Horizon acquisition. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustments related primarily to noncash amortization of intangible assets acquired from business acquisitions. | |
(c) | For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the adjustments related primarily to acquisition-related costs related to our Horizon acquisition. | |
(d) | For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the adjustments related to separation costs associated with our restructuring plan and other cost-savings initiatives. | |

(h) | The tax effect of the adjustments between our GAAP and non-GAAP results takes into account the tax treatment and related tax rate(s) that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction(s). Generally, the tax impact of adjustments, including the amortization of intangible assets and acquired inventory, gains and losses on our investments in equity securities and expenses related to restructuring and cost-savings initiatives, depends on whether the amounts are deductible in the respective tax jurisdictions and the applicable tax rate(s) in those jurisdictions. Due to these factors, the effective tax rate for the adjustments to our GAAP income before income taxes for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, was 20.7% and 19.4%, respectively, compared to 18.6% and 20.3% for the corresponding periods of the prior year. | |
