Strong Financial Performance: AbbVie reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $2.97, exceeding guidance by $0.11. Total net revenues reached $15.4 billion, more than $400 million above expectations, indicating a growth rate of 6.5% operationally year-over-year. This growth is largely driven by the ex-HUMIRA portfolio, particularly Skyrizi and Rinvoq, which are collectively projected to surpass $25 billion in sales for the year.
Revised Full-Year Guidance: AbbVie has raised its full-year revenue guidance by $800 million to approximately $60.5 billion and adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $11.88 to $12.08. This reflects an overall optimistic outlook for the company, indicating confidence in the sustainability of growth driven by existing and new products.
Pipeline Developments: The company is making notable progress in its R&D pipeline, with recent approvals such as Rinvoq for GCA and strong Phase III results for alopecia areata. AbbVie is also aiming to augment its pipeline through strategic transactions, including a new partnership that involves a CAR-T platform, indicating opportunities for long-term growth in immunology.
