Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to enhance the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our principal strategy is to combine the resources, scale and capability of a large pharmaceutical company with the speed, agility and focus on innovation typically found in the biotech industry. Our priorities are (i) to continue to renew and diversify our portfolio through launching new medicines, (ii) advancing our early, mid and late-stage pipeline, and (iii) executing disciplined business development. Our focus is on discovering, developing and delivering transformational medicines for patients facing serious diseases in the following five core therapeutic areas: (i) oncology with a priority in certain tumor types, including diversification beyond IO; (ii) hematology with opportunities to expand leadership position in multiple myeloma, as well as broaden our portfolio across leukemias, lymphomas and non-malignant hematologic diseases; (iii) immunology with a focus in dermatology, rheumatology and gastrointestinal disorders, establishing new standards of care in pulmonology and rapidly advancing cell therapy into immunology diseases; (iv) cardiovascular diseases with focus on cardiomyopathies, heart failures and thrombotic diseases; and (v) neuroscience with a focus on neuropsychiatry, neurodegenerative and neuroinflammation diseases. We are working on accelerating our drug development and delivery of our innovative medicines to patients, enhancing our commercial operating model, as well as enhancing flexibility and reliability of our manufacturing network. We remain committed to a strategic business development and maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating, growing the dividend and reducing additional debt that was issued in support of recent transactions during the first quarter of 2024. For further information on our strategy, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Executive Summary—Strategy" in our 2023 Form 10-K. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the document.

In 2024, we achieved significant advances in the CAR-T cell therapy arena with the approval of Abecma in the U.S. and EU for triple-class exposed relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma, and Breyanzi in the U.S. for adults with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL. In addition, in oncology, Opdivo in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine was approved in the U.S. for first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma and Reblozyl received expanded approval to include the first-line treatment of adult patients with transfusion-dependent anemia due to very low, low and intermediate-risk myelodysplastic syndromes in the EU and Japan. Refer to "—Product and Pipeline Developments" for additional updates on our pipeline.

Additionally, we completed the following acquisitions: (i) Karuna, a biopharmaceutical company in the area of developing and delivering psychiatric and neurological conditions medicines; (ii) RayzeBio, a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical therapeutics company with a pipeline of potentially first-in-class and best-in-class drug development programs, and (iii) Mirati, a commercial stage targeted oncology company, with a commercialized medicine, Krazati, in addition to a pipeline of clinical and pre-clinical stage oncology assets. BMS also entered into a strategic collaboration with SystImmune, to co-develop and co-commercialize BL-B01D1, a compound in a Phase I clinical trial, which is currently being evaluated for the treatment of metastatic or unresectable NSCLC. We also entered into a worldwide capacity reservation and supply agreement with Cellares for the manufacturing of CAR-T cell therapies. This agreement is expected to enable us to expand our manufacturing capacity through a platform that is scalable and has the potential to improve turnaround time. For additional information relating to our acquisitions, divestitures, licensing and other arrangements refer to "Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 3. Alliances" and "Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 4. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Licensing and Other Arrangements".

We remain committed to the strategic allocation of resources and investing in areas that maximize value and drive sustainable growth. We are executing a strategic productivity initiative that will drive approximately $1.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of 2025, the majority of which are expected to be reinvested to fund innovation and drive growth. As a result, we are focusing resources on R&D programs with the potential to deliver the greatest return on investment, prioritizing investments in key growth brands, and optimizing operations across the organization. The exit costs resulting from these actions are included in our updated 2023 Restructuring Plan.

Financial Highlights

Revenues increased by 5% for the first quarter of 2024 due to the Growth Portfolio (primarily Reblozyl) and Eliquis, partially offset by Opdivo and Revlimid. The $6.96 decrease in GAAP EPS was primarily driven by higher one-time Acquired IPRD charges primarily from the Karuna asset acquisition and SystImmune collaboration ($6.29) and the impact of certain specified items, including the cash settlement of unvested stock awards and lower litigation and other settlement income ($0.51). After adjusting for specified items, the $6.45 decrease in non-GAAP EPS was primarily due to the aforementioned Acquired IPRD charges and higher operating and interest expense resulting from the recent acquisitions.

Our non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information, are adjusted to exclude specified items that represent certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other items impacting the comparability of financial results. For further information and reconciliations relating to our non-GAAP financial measures refer to "—Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Economic and Market Factors

Governmental Actions

Our products continue to be subject to increasing pressures across the portfolio from pharmaceutical market access and pricing controls and discounting, changes to tax and importation laws and other restrictions in the U.S., the EU and other regions around the world that result in lower prices, lower reimbursement rates and smaller populations for whom payers will reimburse, which can negatively impact our results of operations (including intangible asset impairment charges), operating cash flow, liquidity and financial flexibility. The IRA directs (i) the federal government to “negotiate” prices for select high-cost Medicare
