Nov 5, 2025Amgen Inc. reported strong financial performance for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, with total revenues increasing by 12% and 11% year-over-year, respectively, driven primarily by robust volume growth across its key products. Net income saw significant increases, up 14% for the quarter and a substantial 84% for the nine-month period, leading to a corresponding surge in diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS). The company demonstrated effective cost management, with operating expenses growing at a slower pace than revenues. Strategic investments in late-stage clinical programs continue, supported by strong operational cash flow generation. The company's balance sheet remains solid, though cash and cash equivalents decreased slightly from year-end 2024, largely due to significant debt repayment and dividend payments. Amgen continues to manage its debt effectively, reducing its overall debt principal. The company also highlighted ongoing legal matters, particularly the significant U.S. Tax Court case, which, while expected to be resolved no earlier than the second half of 2026, continues to be a point of attention. Despite potential regulatory headwinds and ongoing litigation, Amgen's operational performance and strategic investments indicate a positive outlook for future growth.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2025
Aug 6, 2025Amgen Inc. reported robust top-line growth for the second quarter and first half of 2025, with total revenues increasing by 9% and 10% respectively compared to the prior year periods. This growth was primarily driven by strong volume increases across key products, notably Repatha, EVENITY, BLINCYTO, and TEZSPIRE, which collectively offset modest net selling price declines. The company demonstrated significant profitability improvements, with net income soaring by 92% and 92% for the respective periods, and diluted EPS more than doubling year-over-year. This performance was supported by improved cost of sales as a percentage of revenue and well-managed selling, general, and administrative expenses, although R&D investments saw an increase. Despite the strong operational performance, investors should note the ongoing legal challenges, particularly the significant tax dispute with the IRS concerning past tax years, which continues through the judicial process. The company also faces ongoing patent litigations related to its key products like Repatha and Prolia/XGEVA, with several new biosimilar infringement lawsuits filed. While Amgen has a strong liquidity position with substantial cash and cash equivalents, its balance sheet reflects a notable decrease in cash from the prior year-end, largely due to significant debt repayments and dividend distributions. The company reiterated its commitment to capital allocation through debt reduction, dividends, and stock repurchases.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2025
May 2, 2025Amgen Inc. reported a significant turnaround in the first quarter of 2025, with net income swinging from a loss of $113 million in Q1 2024 to a profit of $1.73 billion in Q1 2025. This substantial improvement was driven by a robust increase in total revenues, which grew by 9% year-over-year to $8.15 billion, primarily fueled by an 11% rise in product sales to $7.87 billion. The company's operating income also saw a healthy increase of 19% to $1.18 billion, reflecting effective cost management despite a notable $800 million impairment charge related to Otezla. The balance sheet shows a decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $8.81 billion from $11.97 billion, alongside a reduction in total debt. The company continues to prioritize shareholder returns, declaring a quarterly dividend of $2.38 per share, underscoring its commitment to financial health and shareholder value. Investors should note the ongoing legal proceedings, particularly the significant U.S. tax litigation, which remains a key area of focus, although a decision is not expected until the second half of 2026.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2024
Oct 31, 2024Amgen Inc. reported a significant increase in total revenues for the third quarter of 2024, reaching $8.5 billion, up 23% year-over-year. This growth was primarily driven by a substantial 24% increase in total product sales, largely attributable to the successful integration of products acquired from Horizon Therapeutics. Key products like Repatha, EVENITY, BLINCYTO, and TEZSPIRE showed strong volume growth. Despite the revenue surge, net income saw a notable 64% increase to $2.83 billion, with diluted EPS rising to $5.22, reflecting improved operational efficiency and strategic asset contributions. However, operating expenses also grew significantly, up 32% in the quarter, largely due to higher amortization related to acquisition-related assets and increased R&D and SG&A spending. The company also reported a decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $9.0 billion from $10.9 billion at the end of the prior year, primarily due to debt repayments and dividend payments, though the company maintains ample liquidity. Investors should note the ongoing substantial legal and tax contingencies, particularly the IRS tax dispute, which continue to pose potential risks despite Amgen's belief in its strong legal standing.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2024
Aug 7, 2024Amgen Inc. reported a notable increase in total revenues for the second quarter of 2024, reaching $8.4 billion, a 20% rise compared to the same period in the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by a significant 20% increase in product sales, largely attributable to the successful integration of Horizon Therapeutics and strong volume growth across key products. Despite the top-line expansion, operating income and net income experienced a decline due to a substantial increase in operating expenses, primarily driven by higher amortization related to the Horizon acquisition and increased R&D and SG&A expenses. Diluted EPS saw a corresponding decrease. The company's balance sheet shows a decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $9.3 billion from $10.9 billion at the end of 2023, alongside a reduction in total assets and stockholders' equity. Long-term debt also decreased. Amgen continued its commitment to capital allocation through dividend payments, though no shares were repurchased during the first half of 2024. The company remains focused on investing in innovation and managing its debt.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2024
May 3, 2024Amgen Inc. reported a net loss of $113 million, or $(0.21) per share, for the first quarter of 2024, a significant shift from the $2.84 billion net income reported in the same period last year. This change was largely attributed to substantial non-cash charges, including unrealized losses on strategic equity investments and increased amortization and acquisition-related expenses stemming from the recent Horizon Therapeutics acquisition. Despite the net loss, total revenues grew by 22% year-over-year to $7.45 billion, driven by a 22% increase in product sales to $7.12 billion. The growth in product sales was primarily fueled by volume increases, with significant contributions from newly acquired Horizon products like TEPEZZA and KRYSTEXXA. Operationally, the company saw robust growth in key products such as Repatha (33% increase) and TEZSPIRE (80% increase), alongside contributions from the newly acquired Horizon portfolio. However, operating expenses surged by 54%, largely due to the impact of the Horizon acquisition, including higher amortization and acquisition-related costs, alongside increased R&D and SG&A expenses. The company also continues to navigate complex legal and tax matters, including an ongoing IRS tax dispute with potentially significant financial implications. Amgen's balance sheet remains solid, with substantial cash and cash equivalents, though debt levels remain elevated following the acquisition.

Oct 31, 2023Amgen Inc. reported total revenues of $6.9 billion for the third quarter of 2023, a 4% increase compared to the same period last year, driven by a 5% rise in product sales to $6.5 billion. For the nine-month period, total revenues grew by 3% to $19.99 billion. Net income for the third quarter was $1.73 billion, a decrease of 19% year-over-year, resulting in diluted EPS of $3.22. However, for the nine-month period, net income surged by 21% to $5.95 billion, with diluted EPS of $11.06, demonstrating strong performance over the year-to-date. A significant event during the quarter was the completion of the acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics plc on October 6, 2023, for approximately $27.8 billion. This strategic move is expected to bolster Amgen's inflammation portfolio with key treatments for rare inflammatory diseases. The company also made progress in its pipeline, announcing positive Phase 2 data for tarlatamab in small cell lung cancer and positive Phase 3 data for LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS in colorectal cancer.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2023
Aug 4, 2023Amgen Inc. reported solid financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2023, demonstrating revenue growth driven by key products like Prolia and Repatha. Total revenues for the quarter rose 6% to $6.99 billion, with product sales increasing by 6% to $6.68 billion. For the first six months, total revenues grew 2% to $13.09 billion, and product sales were up 4% to $12.53 billion. Net income for the quarter was $1.38 billion, a 5% increase year-over-year, translating to diluted EPS of $2.57, up 5%. The first half of the year saw a substantial 51% increase in net income to $4.22 billion, with diluted EPS soaring 53% to $7.86. This strong performance was bolstered by a significant increase in cash from operations and strategic debt issuances related to the proposed acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics, alongside a notable increase in long-term debt. The company continues to navigate potential regulatory challenges, particularly the FTC's lawsuit seeking to block the Horizon acquisition, with a preliminary injunction hearing scheduled. Amgen also remains engaged in ongoing patent litigation and tax disputes, though the company expresses confidence in its legal positions and financial resilience.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2023
Apr 28, 2023Amgen Inc. reported total revenues of $6.105 billion for the first quarter of 2023, a slight decrease from $6.238 billion in the same period of 2022. Despite the revenue dip, net income saw a significant increase, soaring to $2.841 billion ($5.28 diluted EPS) from $1.476 billion ($2.68 diluted EPS) in the prior year. This substantial earnings growth was largely driven by a substantial "Other income (expense), net" of $2.064 billion, primarily attributed to a significant unrealized gain from revaluing their investment in BeiGene. The company's strategic debt issuances totaling $24.0 billion in March 2023 were to finance the proposed acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics, which remains subject to regulatory review. Product sales showed modest growth of 2% to $5.846 billion, bolstered by strong performances from Prolia, Repatha, Nplate, and EVENITY. However, Enbrel and Otezla experienced declines. Operating expenses increased by 12% due to higher costs of sales, R&D investments, and expenses related to a restructuring plan. The company ended the quarter with a robust cash position of $31.6 billion, with a significant portion earmarked for the Horizon acquisition.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2022
Nov 4, 2022Amgen Inc. reported solid financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, demonstrating resilience despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. Total revenues for the nine months increased by 2% year-over-year to $19.48 billion, driven by product sales growth and increased other revenues. Net income also saw a significant increase of 24% for the same period, reaching $4.94 billion, with diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) rising to $9.11. The company's operating income showed substantial growth, up 38% for the nine-month period, reflecting effective cost management and operational efficiency. The company continued its strategic capital allocation through robust share repurchases and dividend payments, underscoring its commitment to returning value to shareholders. Amgen also made significant progress on its pipeline, highlighted by positive trial results for LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS. The recent acquisition of ChemoCentryx, Inc. for approximately $3.7 billion is expected to further enhance its therapeutic offerings in autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, and cancer, positioning the company for future growth.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2022
Aug 5, 2022Amgen Inc. reported solid financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2022. Total revenues grew modestly, driven by a 3% increase in product sales for both the quarter and the six-month period. This growth was primarily fueled by strong performance in key products like Prolia, Otezla, XGEVA, Repatha, and KYPROLIS, which experienced double-digit percentage increases in sales. Operating income saw a substantial increase of 58% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, largely due to the absence of a significant acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) charge recorded in the prior year from the Five Prime acquisition. Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) also showed significant improvement, rising 41% for the six months. The company's balance sheet remains robust, though cash and cash equivalents decreased compared to the prior year-end, partly due to significant share repurchases. Amgen continued its commitment to returning capital to shareholders, repurchasing approximately $6.4 billion in stock and paying dividends during the first six months of the year. The company also announced a proposed acquisition of ChemoCentryx for approximately $4.0 billion, indicating a continued strategy of growth through business development. Despite positive operational performance, investors should note the ongoing significant U.S. Tax Court litigation concerning tax years 2010-2015, which could result in substantial additional tax liabilities if the IRS's position prevails. While Amgen believes its tax accruals are appropriate, this remains a notable risk factor.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2022
Apr 28, 2022Amgen Inc. reported total revenues of $6.238 billion for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 6% from $5.901 billion in the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by a 64% surge in "Other revenues," largely attributable to COVID-19 antibody material sales, and a 2% increase in product sales to $5.731 billion. Despite the top-line growth, net income decreased by 10% to $1.476 billion, or $2.68 per diluted share, compared to $1.646 billion, or $2.83 per diluted share, in Q1 2021. The decrease in net income was influenced by higher interest expenses and net losses on strategic equity investments. Key operational highlights include continued growth in key products like Prolia, XGEVA, Repatha, and Kyprolis, which saw double-digit percentage increases in sales. However, Enbrel and Neulasta experienced sales declines, with Neulasta significantly impacted by biosimilar competition. The company also repurchased a substantial amount of its common stock, totaling $6.4 billion in the first quarter, and declared a quarterly dividend of $1.94 per share. Significant legal matters, particularly a tax dispute with the IRS, continue to be a point of attention, with the company contesting substantial proposed tax liabilities. Investors should note the strong revenue growth driven by non-core product sales, alongside a decline in profitability. While key growth products demonstrate positive momentum, the impact of biosimilar competition on established products like Neulasta remains a significant factor. The company's aggressive capital return program, including substantial stock repurchases, and the ongoing significant tax litigation are critical factors for investors to monitor.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2021
Nov 3, 2021Amgen Inc. reported total revenues of $6.71 billion for the third quarter of 2021, a 4% increase compared to the same period in the prior year. This growth was driven by a 19% increase in Rest of World (ROW) product sales and a 21% increase in other revenues, largely attributed to sales of COVID-19 antibody material. However, net income decreased by 7% year-over-year to $1.88 billion, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) declined by 3% to $3.31. The nine-month period ending September 30, 2021, showed a 2% increase in total revenues to $19.13 billion, but a significant 29% drop in net income to $3.99 billion and a 27% decrease in diluted EPS to $6.93. This decline in profitability was significantly impacted by higher operating expenses, including $1.5 billion in acquired in-process research and development related to the Five Prime acquisition and a $400 million upfront payment for a licensing agreement with Kyowa Kirin. The company also faces ongoing significant legal challenges related to U.S. tax matters, with a potential tax liability of approximately $3.6 billion, plus interest, which could materially impact future financial statements. Amgen continues to return capital to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases, with approximately $2.9 billion remaining under its stock repurchase program as of September 30, 2021. Subsequent to the quarter, the company announced an additional $4.5 billion authorization for repurchases. The company also completed the acquisition of Teneobio, Inc. for an upfront payment of $900 million, plus potential future milestone payments, to expand its pipeline in antibody therapeutics.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 30, 2021
Aug 4, 2021Amgen Inc. reported total revenues of $6.53 billion for the second quarter of 2021, a 5% increase compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by other revenues and growth in certain key products. However, net income and diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) saw a significant decline of 74% and 73% respectively, to $464 million and $0.81 per share. This decrease is largely attributable to a substantial increase in operating expenses, notably $1.5 billion in acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) related to the Five Prime Therapeutics acquisition. Despite the year-over-year dip in profitability for the quarter, the company demonstrated strong performance in specific product areas such as Prolia®, Repatha®, and XGEVA®, which showed double-digit percentage increases in sales. The company also continues to return capital to shareholders through dividends and an active stock repurchase program. Looking ahead, Amgen faces ongoing challenges including biosimilar competition for key drugs like Enbrel® and Neulasta®, and significant ongoing U.S. tax litigation with the IRS that could materially impact future financial results.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2021
Apr 28, 2021Amgen Inc. reported total revenues of $5.901 billion for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of 4% compared to $6.161 billion in the prior year period. This decline was primarily driven by a 5% decrease in total product sales, largely due to lower net selling prices for certain products, particularly Enbrel and Neulasta, and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patient access and diagnoses. Despite the revenue dip, operating expenses saw a slight decrease of 1%, and net income stood at $1.646 billion, resulting in diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $2.83, down from $3.07 in the prior year. The company demonstrated its commitment to returning capital to shareholders by repurchasing $865 million of common stock and declaring a quarterly dividend of $1.76 per share. Cash flow from operations remained robust at $2.104 billion. Amgen also advanced its strategic growth initiatives, notably completing the acquisition of Five Prime Therapeutics for approximately $1.9 billion to bolster its oncology pipeline.

Jul 29, 2020Amgen Inc. reported total revenues of $6.2 billion for the second quarter of 2020, a 6% increase compared to the same period last year, driven primarily by a 9% increase in total product sales. The company's net income for the quarter was $1.8 billion, or $3.05 per diluted share, representing a decrease of 17% and 15% respectively, from the prior year. This decline in profitability was influenced by higher operating expenses, notably cost of sales which rose significantly due to the amortization of expenses related to the Otezla acquisition. Despite the decrease in net income, the company demonstrated robust operating cash flow and maintained a strong liquidity position with $11.4 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. The acquisition of Otezla in late 2019 continues to significantly impact the financial results, contributing to revenue growth but also increasing operating expenses. The company also experienced a decrease in sales for some of its established products like ENBREL and Neulasta due to market dynamics and biosimilar competition. However, newer products such as Repatha and Otezla, along with contributions from other products, have shown strong growth, offsetting some of these declines. Amgen continues to manage its capital effectively through dividends and share repurchases while also investing in its pipeline and strategic collaborations, notably with BeiGene for oncology products in China.

May 1, 2020Amgen Inc. (AMGN) reported its first quarter 2020 results, showcasing a significant increase in total revenues driven by the acquisition of Otezla and growth in key products. Total revenues rose 11% year-over-year to $6.16 billion, primarily due to a 12% increase in product sales to $5.89 billion. This growth was bolstered by strong performances from Prolia®, Repatha®, and the newly acquired Otezla®, which generated $479 million in its first full quarter. However, net income saw a slight decrease of 8% to $1.83 billion, and diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) declined by 3% to $3.07, largely impacted by increased operating expenses, particularly related to the Otezla acquisition and amortization of intangible assets. The company also highlighted its proactive capital allocation strategy, including significant share repurchases and dividend payments, while managing its debt profile. Amgen’s cash position remains robust, supporting ongoing operations and strategic investments. The company acknowledged the emerging impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, noting potential demand shifts for certain products and temporary pauses in clinical trial enrollments, while emphasizing its commitment to employee safety and business continuity.

AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2019
May 1, 2019Amgen Inc. reported a slight decrease in total revenues for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, driven by a modest decline in product sales that was offset by an increase in other revenues, primarily royalties. While total revenues remained largely flat, net income and diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) experienced a more significant decline, indicating pressure on profitability. This was attributed to a notable increase in operating expenses, particularly in Cost of Sales and Research & Development, impacting the bottom line. The company continued its capital return program, with substantial share repurchases and dividend payments. However, these activities, alongside operating costs, contributed to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

Oct 31, 2018Amgen Inc. reported a slight increase in total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, reaching $17.5 billion, a 3% rise from the prior year. This growth was primarily driven by product sales, which increased by 2% to $16.5 billion, with notable growth in Prolia®, XGEVA®, and 'Other products', partially offset by declines in ENBREL®, Neulasta®, Aranesp®, Sensipar®/Mimpara®, and EPOGEN®. The company's net income saw a more significant increase of 4% to $6.5 billion for the nine-month period, leading to a substantial 14% rise in diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) to $9.61, reflecting the benefits of U.S. corporate tax reform. However, the third quarter of 2018 showed a slight dip in net income and a modest increase in diluted EPS compared to the prior year's quarter, highlighting sequential pressures. Financially, Amgen significantly strengthened its cash position, ending the period with $11.96 billion in cash and cash equivalents, a substantial increase from $3.8 billion at the end of 2017, primarily due to strong operating cash flows and strategic management of marketable securities. The company also continued its aggressive capital return strategy, repurchasing approximately $15.7 billion of its stock in the first nine months of 2018.

AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 30, 2014
Oct 29, 2014Amgen Inc.'s third quarter 2014 report shows mixed results for investors. While total revenues increased by 6% year-over-year to $5.03 billion, driven by strong performance in "Other revenues" and growth in key products like XGEVA® and Prolia®, net income declined by 9% to $1.24 billion. This decline is primarily attributable to a significant increase in operating expenses, notably cost of sales and restructuring charges, impacting profitability. The company has initiated a substantial restructuring plan, aiming to reduce its workforce and facility footprint, which resulted in $376 million in charges during the quarter. Despite these cost pressures and a decrease in earnings per share (EPS) to $1.61 from $1.79 in the prior year period, Amgen continues to return capital to shareholders through consistent dividend payments. The balance sheet remains robust, with total assets increasing to $70.8 billion, supported by substantial marketable securities and cash reserves.

Aug 5, 2014Amgen Inc. reported solid revenue growth for the second quarter of 2014, with total revenues reaching $5.18 billion, an 11% increase compared to the prior year quarter. This growth was primarily driven by strong performance in product sales, particularly from newer products like Kyprolis® (acquired through Onyx Pharmaceuticals) and continued strength in established blockbusters such as Enbrel®, Prolia®, and Xgeva®. Despite increased operating expenses, largely due to acquisition-related costs including amortization of intangible assets from the Onyx acquisition, operating income saw a significant 23% increase. Net income also rose by 23% year-over-year for the quarter, signaling effective cost management and operational efficiency. The company also announced a significant restructuring plan in July 2014, involving workforce reductions and facility closures to further optimize its cost structure, which is expected to incur substantial charges but aims to drive future innovation and efficiency.
AMGEN INC Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2014
Apr 30, 2014Amgen Inc.'s first quarter 2014 report shows a mixed financial performance. Total revenues increased by 7% year-over-year to $4.52 billion, driven by a 5% rise in product sales and a significant 90% surge in other revenues, largely due to the Onyx Pharmaceuticals acquisition. However, net income saw a substantial decrease of 25% to $1.07 billion, and diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) fell by 26% to $1.40. This decline in profitability is primarily attributed to favorable tax items in the prior year's quarter and increased operating expenses, particularly in Cost of Sales, which rose significantly due to amortization of acquired intangible assets from the Onyx acquisition and a charge related to the termination of a supply contract. The company's balance sheet remains robust, with total assets growing to $67.0 billion. While cash and cash equivalents decreased slightly, marketable securities increased, contributing to a rise in total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. Long-term debt remained largely stable. The company continues its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends, declaring a quarterly dividend of $0.61 per share.
