Product Sales Performance

  • XGEVA sales increased 12 percent driven by higher unit demand.

  • Nplate® (romiplostim) sales increased 11 percent driven by higher unit demand.

  • Aimovig® (erenumab-aooe) was launched in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2018 and generated $22 million in sales in the third quarter.
  • EPOGEN® (epoetin alfa) sales decreased 5 percent driven by lower net selling price.
  • Enbrel® (etanercept) sales decreased 5 percent driven by lower unit demand and, to a lesser extent, lower net selling price, offset partially by favorable changes in accounting estimates.
  • Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim) sales decreased 6 percent driven by lower net selling price, lower unit demand and favorable prior-period changes in accounting estimates.
  • Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa) sales decreased 8 percent driven primarily by the impact of competition on unit demand.
  • Sensipar/Mimpara® (cinacalcet) sales decreased 11 percent driven primarily by lower unit demand, which was due to continued adoption of Parsabiv in the U.S.
  • NEUPOGEN® (filgrastim) sales decreased 38 percent driven by lower unit demand and, to a lesser extent, lower net selling price, which the Company believes is a function of competition.

Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis

On a GAAP basis:

  • Total Operating Expenses increased 7 percent. All expense categories reflect savings from our transformation and process improvement efforts. Cost of Sales margin increased by 0.6 points due to higher manufacturing costs and higher acquisition-related intangibles amortization, offset partially by lower royalty cost and the favorable comparison to Hurricane Maria-related charges in Q3 2017. Research & Development (R&D) increased 6 percent driven by spending in late and early-stage programs, offset partially by decreased spending to support marketed products. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 11 percent due to investments in product launches and marketed product support. Other operating expenses increased primarily due to higher impairment-related charges associated with intangible assets acquired in business combinations.
  • Operating Margin decreased by 2.5 percentage points to 42.2 percent.
  • Tax Rate decreased by 3.9 percentage points due to the impacts of U.S. corporate tax reform.

On a non-GAAP basis:

  • Total Operating Expenses increased 7 percent. All expense categories reflect savings from our transformation and process improvement efforts. Cost of Sales margin increased by 0.3 points due to higher manufacturing cost, offset partially by lower royalty cost and the favorable comparison to Hurricane Maria-related charges in Q3 2017. R&D increased 6 percent driven by spending in late and early-stage programs, offset partially by decreased spending to support marketed products. SG&A expenses increased 11 percent due to investments in product launches and marketed product support.
  • Operating Margin decreased by 1.7 percentage points to 53.9 percent.
  • Tax Rate decreased by 6.4 percentage points due to the impacts of U.S. corporate tax reform.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this news release, management has presented its operating results for the third quarters of 2018 and 2017, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, management has presented its full year 2018 EPS and tax rate 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, restructuring and certain other items from the related GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the news release. Management has also presented Free Cash Flow (FCF), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the third quarters of 2018 and 2017. FCF is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow, each as determined in accordance with GAAP.

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 ongoing business activities by facilitating comparisons of results of ongoing business operations among current, past and future periods. The Company believes that FCF provides a further measure of the Company's liquidity.

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 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 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. 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. 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 new indications for existing products 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 acquire other companies or products and to integrate the operations of companies we have acquired may not be successful. A breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and our data. Our stock price may be volatile and may be affected by a number of events. 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.

(a)

The adjustments related primarily to non-cash amortization of intangible assets acquired in business combinations.



(b)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the adjustment related primarily to severance expenses associated with our restructuring initiative.



(c)

The adjustments related primarily to impairments of intangible assets acquired in business combinations. 



(d)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the adjustment related to the net gain associated with the Kirin-Amgen share acquisition.



(e)

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, this results in a tax impact at the U.S. marginal tax rate for certain adjustments, including the majority of amortization of intangible assets, whereas the tax impact of other adjustments, including restructuring expense, 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 rates for the adjustments to our GAAP income before income taxes, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were 22.4% and 23.9%, compared with 34.3% and 32.0% for the corresponding periods of the prior year.



(f)

The adjustments related primarily to certain acquisition items and prior period items excluded from GAAP earnings.
