Summary
Summary of the 10-K filed February 14, 2014. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) reported a decrease in total revenues for 2013 to $16.385 billiona from $17.621 billion in 2012, primarily driven by the loss of exclusivity for key products like Plavix and Avapro/Avalide, and a reduced share in Abilify revenues.
Despite the revenue decline, the company made strategic progress by focusing on core therapeutic areas such as oncology, virology, and immunology, with notable advancements in its immuno-oncology pipeline, particularly with nivolumab. The company divested its diabetes business to AstraZeneca in February 2014 for significant upfront and potential milestone payments, aiming to sharpen its focus on specialty biopharmaceuticals and allocate resources to higher-growth opportunities.
Significant R&D investments continued, with a focus on late-stage pipeline assets, particularly in oncology and hepatitis C. The company also managed its debt effectively and continued its share repurchase program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What was the primary driver for the revenue decline in 2013?
The primary drivers for the revenue decline in 2013 were the loss of market exclusivity for key products like Plavix and Avapro/Avalide, leading to significant generic competition, and a reduction in Bristol-Myers Squibb's share of Abilify revenues due to revised alliance agreements.
What is the significance of the diabetes business divestiture?
The divestiture of the diabetes business to AstraZeneca in February 2014 is significant as it allows Bristol-Myers Squibb to focus its resources and strategic efforts on its core therapeutic areas, particularly oncology, virology, and immunology, and to accelerate its transformation into a leading specialty care biopharmaceutical company.
How is Bristol-Myers Squibb managing its patent expirations and upcoming competition?
Bristol-Myers Squibb is managing patent expirations by investing heavily in R&D to develop new products and expand indications for existing ones. The company is also strategically acquiring and licensing promising assets, particularly in its focus areas like immuno-oncology, to build a robust pipeline and mitigate the impact of generic competition on its revenue base.
What is the company's outlook for its key product lines in the near future?
Looking ahead, Bristol-Myers Squibb is focused on driving the growth of key brands such as Sprycel and Yervoy, executing new product launches like Eliquis, and advancing its late-stage pipeline. The company expects continued growth from its oncology and immunology portfolios, while navigating the challenges posed by patent expirations on older products.
