Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

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. Certain amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not sum due to rounding. Percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

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 focus as a biopharmaceutical company is on discovering, developing and delivering transformational medicines for patients facing serious diseases in areas where we believe that we have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference: oncology, hematology, immunology, cardiovascular, neuroscience and other areas where we can also create long-term value. Our priorities are to focus on transformational medicines where we have a competitive advantage, drive operational excellence and strategically allocate capital for long-term growth and shareholder returns. We are driving commercial execution in our key first-in-class and/or best-in-class marketed products, where we continue to expand and see potential for further expansion into the future. 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 2024 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 2025, we have achieved multiple regulatory approvals across our portfolio, including the: (i) approval of Breyanzi for adults with relapsed or refractory FL in the EU, (ii) approval of Camzyos for the treatment of symptomatic obstructive HCM in Japan, (iii) approval of Opdivo + Yervoy as a first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable or advanced HCC in both the U.S. and the EU, (iv) approval of Opdivo + Yervoy for first-line treatment of adults and pediatric patients 12 years and older with unresectable or metastatic MSI-H or dMMR colorectal cancer in the U.S. and Japan, (v) approval of Opdivo as a perioperative regimen for resectable high risk NSCLC in the EU and (vi) approval of Opdivo Qvantig for use across multiple adult solid tumors in the EU. Additionally, we received label updates from the FDA that have reduced or removed certain patient monitoring requirements associated with the use of Camzyos, Breyanzi and Abecma.

We continue to pursue activities to advance and expand our pipeline through our internal research and development efforts as well as through business development activities. In October 2025, BMS entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Orbital Therapeutics, which will provide the Company with full rights to OTX-201, a preclinical in vivo CAR T-cell therapy currently in IND-enabling studies for autoimmune disease. Additionally in 2025 the Company (i) entered into a strategic collaboration with BioNTech to co-develop and co-commercialize BioNTech's investigational bispecific antibody pumitamig (BNT327/BMS986545) across multiple solid tumor types, (ii) acquired a global exclusive license from Philochem for OncoACP3, a radiopharmaceutical therapeutic and diagnostic agent targeting prostate cancer, and (iii) expanded our development and manufacturing capabilities by opening a new radiopharmaceutical facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, which will support RPTs acquired in connection with the RayzeBio acquisition. 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. As previously announced, our ongoing strategic productivity initiative includes acceleration of the delivery of medicines to patients by evolving and streamlining our enterprise operating model in key areas such as R&D, manufacturing, commercial and other functions. As a result of an expansion in 2025, we expect to realize annual cost savings of approximately $2.0 billion by the end of 2027. The exit costs resulting from these actions are included in our updated 2023 Restructuring Plan.

Dollars in millions, except per share data2025202420252024
Total Revenues$12,222$11,892$35,692$35,958

Revenues increased 3% for the third quarter of 2025 and decreased 1% on a year-to-date basis. Demand increased across the Growth Portfolio and for Eliquis, which was offset by the impact of generics across the remainder of the Legacy Portfolio*.* Additionally, year-to-date revenues were impacted by the redesign of the U.S. Medicare Part D program.

The $0.48 increase in GAAP EPS for the third quarter of 2025 was primarily due to the impact of certain specified items, including lower amortization of acquired intangible assets, and cost savings from our ongoing strategic productivity initiative in 2025, partially offset by higher one-time Acquired IPRD charges. After adjusting for specified items, the $0.17 decrease in non-GAAP EPS was primarily due to higher one-time Acquired IPRD charges, partially offset by costs savings from our ongoing strategic productivity initiative in 2025.

The $7.38 increase in GAAP EPS year-to-date was primarily due to lower one-time Acquired IPRD charges, the impact of certain specified items, including lower amortization of acquired intangible assets, and cost savings from our ongoing strategic productivity initiative in 2025. After adjusting for specified items, the $5.42 increase in non-GAAP EPS was primarily due to lower one-time Acquired IPRD charges and cost savings from our ongoing strategic productivity initiative in 2025.

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

As regulators continue to focus on prescription drugs, our products are facing increased pressures across the portfolio. These pressures stem from legislative and policy changes, including price controls, pharmaceutical market access, discounting, changes to tax and importation laws and other restrictions in the U.S., EU and other regions around the world. These pressures have resulted in lower prices, lower reimbursement rat

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2025, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
