What was the primary driver of AbbVie's revenue growth in Q1 2020?

The primary driver of AbbVie's revenue growth was the strong performance of its immunology portfolio, particularly HUMIRA in the U.S., along with significant contributions from newer immunology drugs like SKYRIZI and RINVOQ. Growth in hematologic oncology products IMBRUVICA and VENCLEXTA also played a key role.

What is the status of the proposed acquisition of Allergan plc?

The acquisition of Allergan plc was in its final stages and was expected to close in May 2020. Regulatory approvals were obtained, including from the FTC and the Irish High Court, subject to certain divestitures.

How did COVID-19 impact AbbVie's Q1 2020 results?

While the impact on operations to date was not material, COVID-19 did result in an inventory stocking benefit of approximately $65 million for U.S. HUMIRA sales and other products, which is expected to reverse in the second quarter. AbbVie also made donations to support the global health response and continued to manage its supply chain to ensure uninterrupted medicine supply.

What is the outlook for AbbVie's key products like HUMIRA, SKYRIZI, and RINVOQ?

HUMIRA continues to show strength, particularly in the U.S., though international markets face biosimilar competition. SKYRIZI and RINVOQ are contributing significant new revenue streams following their recent approvals, indicating successful product launches and market penetration.
