First Quarter of 2024 vs. First Quarter of 2023

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to:

reductions of $1.9 billion and $440 million from lower sales of Comirnaty and Paxlovid, respectively,

partially offset by:

an impact of $420 million from our Seagen acquisition, inclusive of the amortization of the fair value step-up of inventory.

The decrease in Cost of sales as a percentage of Total revenues in the first quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by favorable changes in sales mix, including lower sales of Comirnaty which resulted in a lower related charge for the 50% gross profit split with BioNTech and applicable royalty expenses; and, to a much lesser extent, the impact of a $771 million favorable final adjustment to the non-cash Paxlovid revenue reversal, partially offset by the amortization of the fair value step-up of inventory related to the Seagen acquisition, as well as lower sales of Paxlovid.

Certain of our vaccines, including Comirnaty, are subject to seasonality of demand, with a greater portion of revenues and related cost of sales anticipated in the fall and winter seasons. See also The Global Economic Environment––COVID-19 section for information about our COVID-19 products.

Selling, Informational and Administrative Expenses

Selling, informational and administrative expenses increased $77 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to:

an increase of $220 million in marketing and promotional expenses for recently acquired and launched products,

partially offset by:

a decrease of $180 million in marketing and promotional expenses for Paxlovid and Comirnaty.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses were relatively flat in the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to:

lower spending of $320 million as a result of our cost realignment program as well as lower spending on certain ongoing vaccine programs, largely offset by:

increased investments of $300 million, mainly to develop certain medicines acquired from Seagen.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets increased $205 million in the first quarter of 2024 primarily driven by an increase of $140 million related to assets reclassified in 2023 from IPR&D to developed technology rights and $130 million of amortization from our December 2023 acquisition of Seagen, partially offset by a decrease of $80 million from fully amortized assets.

Restructuring Charges and Other Costs Associated with Acquisitions and Cost-Reduction/Productivity Initiatives

Realigning our Cost Base Program––This program, described in Note 3A, is expected to deliver net cost savings of at least $4 billion, to be achieved primarily from 2023 through 2024.

Certain qualifying costs for these programs in all periods since inception were recorded and reflected as Certain Significant Items and excluded from our non-GAAP measure of Adjusted Income. See the Non-GAAP Financial Measure: Adjusted Income section within MD&A.

In connection with our acquisition of Seagen, we are focusing our efforts on achieving an appropriate cost structure for the combined company. We expect to generate approximately $1 billion of annual cost synergies, to be achieved by 2026. The one-time costs to generate these synergies are expected to be approximately $1.5 billion, incurred primarily from 2023 through 2025.

The program savings discussed above may be rounded and represent approximations. In addition to these programs, we continuously monitor our operations for cost reduction and/or productivity opportunities, especially in light of the losses of exclusivity and the expiration of collaborative arrangements for various products. Improvement of gross margin will continue to be an important focus for the Company going forward.

Other (Income)/Deductions—Net

The unfavorable period-over-period change of $406 million was primarily driven by higher net interest expense and lower dividend income, partially offset by net gains on equity securities in the first quarter of 2024 versus net losses on equity securities in the first quarter of 2023. See Note 4.
