Q2 REVENUES

In the second quarter of 2024, reported sales increased by 4.3%, reaching $22.4 billion. The company saw an operational growth of 6.6% and an adjusted operational growth of 6.5%.

Excluding the COVID-19 vaccine, global operational sales for Innovative Medicine rose by 8.8%. This growth was primarily driven by products such as Darzalex (daratumumab), Erleada (apalutamide), and other oncology treatments, as well as Tremfya (guselkumab) and Stelara (ustekinumab) in the immunology sector, and Spravato (esketamine) in neuroscience. However, this growth was somewhat offset by declines in other neuroscience products.


Q3 REVENUES

In the third quarter of 2024, Johnson and Johnson reported sales saw an increase of 5.2%, reaching $22.5 billion. Operational growth stood at 6.3%, with adjusted operational growth at 5.4%.

Revenues from innovative medicines amounted to $14.6 billion. Stelara's revenues experienced a decline of 6.6%, totaling $2.68 billion. On the other hand, Tremfya generated $1.0 billion in revenue, reflecting a 13% growth. Darzalex brought in $3.0 billion, marking a significant 21% rise in revenue.



2. ROCHE

Q1 RESULTS:

  • Sales Decline: In the first quarter of 2024, Roche reported a 6% decline in sales, amounting to 14.4 billion Swiss francs (approximately $15.80 billion). This decrease was attributed to the impact of foreign exchange rates and the loss of revenue from COVID-related products.

  • Pharmaceutical Division: The pharmaceutical division’s performance also slowed, with sales dropping to $11.96 billion from $12.71 billion in the same period last year.


Q3 RESULTS:

Group sales rose by 6% at constant exchange rates (CER) (2% in CHF) in the first nine months, mainly due to strong demand for medicines and diagnostics. Excluding COVID-19-related products, the sales growth reached 8%.

In the third quarter, Group sales showed a 9% increase (6% in CHF), consistent with the growth seen in the second quarter.


The Pharmaceuticals Division saw a 7% rise in sales over the first nine months, with a 9% increase in the base business. This growth was driven by high demand for newer treatments for severe illnesses, with major contributors including Vabysmo (for serious eye conditions), Phesgo (for breast cancer), and Ocrevus (for multiple sclerosis).

8. ASTRAZENECA


In the first quarter, Bristol Myers Squibb reported revenues of $11.9 billion, marking a 5% increase, or 6% when accounting for foreign exchange effects. This growth was primarily fueled by strong performances from Eliquis, Reblozyl, and Opdualag, although somewhat tempered by declines in Opdivo and Revlimid sales.


In the U.S., revenues rose by 7% to $8.5 billion, driven by the success of Eliquis, Reblozyl, and Opdualag, offsetting declines in Revlimid. Opdivo revenues saw a decrease from $1.3 billion to $1.2 billion, down by 10%, mainly due to inventory adjustments and timing of orders, despite underlying demand growth.


Meanwhile, international revenues remained relatively steady at $3.4 billion, as increased demand for Opdivo, Yervoy, and Reblozyl offset lower selling prices. Foreign exchange fluctuations had a 5% adverse impact on revenues.
