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. Our R&D strategy is designed to invest in the most promising science and to consistently execute in a way that translates that science into new medicines with the highest probability of success. To execute this strategy, we focus on three key priorities: science, execution, and value. Additionally, 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 2025 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.

During the first quarter of 2026, we made meaningful progress advancing our pipeline, highlighted by: (i) positive interim Phase III results from the SUCCESSOR‑2 study of oral mezigdomide in RRMM, (ii) positive Phase III results from the SCOUT-HCM trial of Camzyos in adolescents with symptomatic oHCM, (iii) positive top‑line results from a Phase II trial for Reblozyl in adults with Alpha (α)-Thalassemia, (iv) positive interim top‑line results from a Phase III trial conducted in China for iza-bren in previously treated unresectable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC, and (v) FDA acceptance of our NDA for iberdomide in combination with standard therapy for patients with RRMM. Additionally, Sotyktu was approved in the U.S. for the treatment of adults with active PsA and Opdivo was approved in the U.S. and EU for cHL.

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.

Financial Highlights

Revenues increased 3% during the first quarter of 2026. Demand increased across the Growth Portfolio and for Eliquis, which was partially offset by the impact of generics across the remainder of the Legacy Portfolio*.* Additionally, revenues were impacted by lower average net selling prices for the Legacy Portfolio and foreign exchange impacts of 2%. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenues increased 1%.

The $0.11 increase in GAAP EPS for the first quarter of 2026 was primarily due to the impact of certain specified items, including lower amortization of acquired intangible assets, partially offset by higher IPRD impairment charges in 2026 and the expiry of royalty income on diabetes products at the end of 2025. After adjusting for specified items, the $0.22 decrease in non-GAAP EPS was primarily due to the expiry of royalty income on diabetes products at the end of 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

Ongoing regulatory focus on prescription drugs has increased pressures across our portfolio. These pressures have resulted in lower prices, lower reimbursement rates and smaller populations for whom payers will reimburse, which have negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact our results of operations (including intangible asset impairment charges), operating cash flow, liquidity and financial flexibility. Under the IRA, the HHS announced the "maximum fair price" for a 30-day equivalent supply of Eliquis, which applies to the U.S. Medicare channel effective January 1, 2026 and the "maximum fair price" for a 30-day supply of Pomalyst, which applies to the U.S. Medicare channel effective January 1, 2027. Additionally, in January 2026, the HHS selected Orencia as a medicine subject to "negotiation" for government-set prices beginning in 2028. It is possible that more of our products could be selected in future years based upon the selection criteria currently utilized by the HHS or potentially expanded future criteria, or that the "maximum fair price" for our previously selected products could be renegotiated, each of which could, among other things, accelerate revenue erosion prior to expiry of intellectual property protections. We continue to evaluate the impact of the IRA on our results of operations, and it is possible that these changes may result in a material impact on our business and results of operations.

In December 2025, we announced the U.S. Government Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to, among other things: (i) provide Eliquis for free to the Medicaid program effective January 1, 2026; (ii) donate more than seven tons of Eliquis API to fill the U.S. Strategic Active Ingredient Reserve; (iii) enable direct-to-patient access to Sotyktu, Zeposia, Reyataz, Baraclude and Orencia for cash-paying patients at discounts approximately 80% off current list prices; (iv) adopt a more balanced pricing approach for new launches across developed nations; and (v) continue to expand domestic production. This agreement, and any potential future agreements with government entities, b
