(1) Publicly traded equity securities include our investments in Arcellx, Inc. (“Arcellx”) of $441 million and Galapagos NV (“Galapagos”) of $419 million as of March 31, 2025, which are subject to contractual sale restrictions. Our investment in Arcellx is restricted until June 2025, and our investment in Galapagos is currently restricted as described further in Note 6. Acquisitions, Collaborations and Other Arrangements.
Level 2 Inputs
Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts
Our foreign currency derivative contracts have maturities of 18 months or less and all are with counterparties that have a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Ratings, Inc. We estimate the fair values of these contracts by utilizing an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and swap rates. These inputs, where applicable, are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 Inputs
Contingent Consideration Liability
In connection with our first quarter 2021 acquisition of MYR GmbH, we are subject to a potential contingent consideration payment of up to €300 million, subject to customary adjustments, which is revalued each reporting period using probability-weighted scenarios for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of Hepcludex until the related contingency is resolved.
The following table summarizes the change in fair value of our contingent consideration liability:

(3) Included in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value Level Transfers
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in the periods presented.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a partial impairment charge of $2.4 billion related to certain acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets. See Note 7. Intangible Assets for additional information.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
Senior Unsecured Notes
The following table summarizes the total estimated fair value and carrying value of our senior unsecured notes, determined using Level 2 inputs based on their quoted market values:

| Fair value | $ | 21,886 | $ | 23,335 | ||||||||||
| Carrying value | $ | 23,816 | $ | 25,562 |
Liability Related to Future Royalties
We recorded a liability related to future royalties as part of our 2020 acquisition of Immunomedics, Inc., which is subsequently amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining estimated life. The fair value of the liability related to future royalties, determined using Level 3 inputs, was approximately $0.9 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the carrying value was $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(1) Mostly comprised of equity interests in certain collaboration partners and investment funds that are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which we are not the primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement in these VIEs is limited to the value of our investment.
For our equity method investments in Galapagos and Arcus Biosciences, Inc. (“Arcus”), we elected and applied the fair value option as we believe it best reflects the underlying economics of these investments. Our investment in Galapagos is subject to certain lock-up provisions as discussed in Note 6. Acquisitions, Collaborations and Other Arrangements and was classified in Prepaid and other current assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 at $419 million and $462 million, respectively. Our investment in Arcus was classified in Prepaid and other current assets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 at $247 million and $448 million, respectively.

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our operations in foreign countries expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and various foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. To manage this risk, we hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposures related to outstanding monetary assets and liabilities as well as forecasted product sales using foreign currency exchange forward contracts. In general, the market risk related to these contracts is offset by corresponding gains and losses on the hedged transactions. The credit risk associated with these contracts is driven by changes in interest and currency exchange rates and, as a result, varies over time. By working only with major banks and closely monitoring current market conditions, we seek to limit the risk that counterparties to these contracts may be unable to perform. We also seek to limit our risk of loss by entering into contracts that permit net settlement at maturity. Therefore, our overall risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is limited to the amount of any unrealized gains on outstanding contracts (i.e., those contracts that have a positive fair value) at the date of default. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes.
The derivative instruments we use to hedge our exposures for certain monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency are not designated as hedges. The derivative instruments we use to hedge our exposures for forecasted product sales are designated as cash flow hedges and have maturities of 18 months or less.
We held foreign currency exchange contracts with outstanding notional amounts of $3.4 billion and $2.9 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
While all our derivative contracts allow us the right to offset assets and liabilities, we have presented amounts on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis. The following table summarizes the classification and fair values of derivative instruments, including the potential effect of offsetting:

There were no discontinuances of cash flow hedges for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
The cash flow effects of our derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were included within Net cash provided by operating activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
6. ACQUISITIONS, COLLABORATIONS AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
We enter into acquisitions, licensing and strategic collaborations and other similar arrangements with third parties for the research, development and commercialization of certain products and product candidates. The collaborations involve two or more parties who are active participants in the operating activities of the collaboration and are exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activities. The financial terms of these arrangements may include non-refundable upfront payments, expense reimbursements, payments by us for options to acquire certain rights, contingent obligations by us for potential development and regulatory milestone payments and/or sales-based milestone payments, royalty payments, revenue or profit-sharing arrangements, cost-sharing arrangements and equity investments.
Acquisitions
CymaBay
In March 2024, we completed the acquisition of CymaBay Therapeutics, Inc. (“CymaBay”) for total consideration of $3.9 billion, net of cash acquired. Upon closing, CymaBay became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
We accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition since the lead asset, seladelpar, an investigational, oral, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta agonist shown to regulate critical metabolic and liver disease pathways, represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a $3.9 billion charge, representing an acquired IPR&D asset with no alternative future use, to Acquired in-process research and development expenses, as well as share-based compensation expense of $133 million related to the cash settlement of unvested CymaBay employee stock awards attributable to post-acquisition services, with $67 million being recorded in Research and development expenses and $67 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Collaborations and Other Arrangements
Galapagos
In January 2025, we agreed to amend our option, license and collaboration agreement with Galapagos (the “OLCA”) commensurate with Galapagos’ announcement for a planned separation of Galapagos into two entities: a newly to be formed company (to be named at a later date, herein “SpinCo”) with an initial capital allocation of up to approximately €2.45 billion (approximately $2.54 billion as of the time of announcement) and Galapagos. At the time of separation, should it occur, Galapagos’ and our rights and responsibilities under the OLCA would transfer to SpinCo, and Galapagos would gain full global development and commercialization rights to its pipeline, subject to payment of single digit royalties to Gilead on net sales of certain products. This separation is expected to occur by mid-2025. As a result of the amendment, Gilead’s ownership stake in Galapagos is subject to lock-up until December 2025, and upon separation, Gilead will hold approximately 25% of the outstanding shares in both Galapagos and SpinCo and will be subject to a lock-up of Galapagos shares through March 2027 and of SpinCo shares until six months after the separation, subject to certain customary exceptions and early termination provisions. The two Gilead designees appointed to Galapagos’ board of directors will step down upon the separation and Gilead will be entitled to nominate two directors to SpinCo’s board.
LEO Pharma
In January 2025, we entered into a strategic partnership with LEO Pharma A/S (“LEO Pharma”) to accelerate the development and commercialization of LEO Pharma’s small molecule oral signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (“STAT6”) programs for the potential treatment of patients with inflammatory diseases. Gilead will have global rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the small molecule oral STAT6 program. LEO Pharma will have the option to potentially co-commercialize oral programs for dermatology outside the U.S. LEO Pharma will hold exclusive global rights to STAT6 topical formulations in dermatology. Upon closing of the agreement, we made a $250 million upfront payment to LEO Pharma which was charged to Acquired in-process research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, LEO Pharma is eligible to receive up to approximately $1.5 billion in additional milestone payments and may also receive tiered royalties on sales of oral STAT6 products.
Arcus
In January 2024, we amended our collaboration agreement with Arcus whereby we acquired approximately 15.2 million additional shares of Arcus common stock at a premium for $320 million. We recorded $233 million for the fair value of the equity investment in Prepaid and other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and $87 million for the premium in Other (income) expense, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As part of the January 2024 amendment, we committed to a $100 million continuation fee, which was charged to Acquired in-process research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and paid later in 2024. Our number of designees on Arcus’ board of directors was also increased to three. As of March 31, 2025, we held 31.4 million shares, or approximately 30% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of Arcus.

(1) The Indefinite-lived assets – IPR&D balance as of March 31, 2025 was comprised of $1.8 billion related to sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (“SG”) for non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) and $1.1 billion related to bulevirtide.
Impairment Assessments
No indicators of impairment were noted for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, except as described in “2024 Impairment” below.
2024 Impairment
In January 2024, we received data from our Phase 3 EVOKE-01 study of Trodelvy evaluating SG indicating that the study did not meet its primary endpoint of overall survival in previously treated metastatic NSCLC, thus triggering a review for potential impairment of the NSCLC IPR&D intangible asset. Based on our evaluation of the study results and all other data currently available, and in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the first quarter, we performed an interim impairment test and determined that the revised estimated fair value of the NSCLC IPR&D intangible asset was below its carrying value. As a result, we recognized a partial impairment charge of $2.4 billion in In-process research and development impairments on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
To arrive at the revised estimated fair value as of March 31, 2024, we used a probability-weighted income approach that discounts expected future cash flows to present value, which requires the use of Level 3 fair value measurements and inputs, including critical estimated inputs, such as: revenues and operating profits related to the planned utilization of SG in NSCLC, which includes inputs such as addressable patient population, projected market share, treatment duration, and the life of the potential commercialized product; the probability of technical and regulatory success; the time and resources needed to complete the development and approval of SG in NSCLC; an appropriate discount rate based on the estimated weighted-average cost of capital for companies with profiles similar to our profile; and risks related to the viability of and potential alternative treatments in any future target markets. We used a discount rate of 7.00% which is based on the estimated weighted-average cost of capital for companies with profiles similar to ours.

Senior Unsecured Notes
We are required to comply with certain covenants under our note indentures governing our senior unsecured notes. As of March 31, 2025, we were not in violation of any covenants. In February 2025, we repaid $1.75 billion of principal balance related to our senior unsecured notes due at maturity.
Revolving Credit Facility
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under our $2.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing in June 2029, and we were in compliance with all covenants.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various legal actions. Certain significant matters are described below. We recognize accruals for such actions to the extent that we conclude that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. We accrue for the best estimate of a loss within a range; however, if no estimate in the range is better than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount in the range. If we determine that a material loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the possible loss. Unless otherwise noted, the outcome of these matters either is not expected to be material or is not possible to determine such that we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had approximately $220 million and $242 million of accruals on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, for the matters described herein, with approximately $200 million accrued for a settlement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York that we entered into in April 2025.
Litigation with Generic Manufacturers
As part of the approval process for some of our products, FDA granted us a New Chemical Entity (“NCE”) exclusivity period during which other manufacturers’ applications for approval of generic versions of our products will not be approved. Generic manufacturers may challenge the patents protecting products that have been granted NCE exclusivity one year prior to the end of the NCE exclusivity period. Generic manufacturers have sought and may continue to seek FDA approval for a similar or identical drug through an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”), the application form typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug. The sale of generic versions of our products prior to their patent expiration would have a significant negative effect on our revenues and results of operations. To seek approval for a generic version of a product having NCE status, a generic company may submit its ANDA to FDA four years after the branded product’s approval.
Starting in March 2022, we received letters from Lupin Ltd. (“Lupin”), Laurus Labs (“Laurus”) and Cipla Ltd. (“Cipla”), indicating that they have submitted ANDAs to FDA requesting permission to market and manufacture generic versions of the adult dosage strength of Biktarvy. Lupin, Laurus, and Cipla have challenged the validity of four of the six patents listed in the Orange Book as associated with Biktarvy. We filed a lawsuit against Lupin, Laurus and Cipla in May 2022 in the U.S. District Court of Delaware and intend to enforce and defend our intellectual property. Additionally, in November 2023, we received a letter from Cipla indicating that it has submitted an ANDA to FDA requesting permission to market and manufacture a generic version of the pediatric dosage strength of Biktarvy. Cipla challenged the validity of two of the patents listed in the Orange Book as associated with Biktarvy. We filed a separate lawsuit against Cipla in December 2023 in the U.S. District Court of Delaware. This lawsuit has been consolidated with the first lawsuit, with a single trial scheduled for October 2025. In October 2024, Cipla separately filed a petition at the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) for inter partes review of one of the patents at issue in District Court litigation. We intend to defend this patent at the USPTO.
Antitrust and Consumer Protection
We, along with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”), Johnson & Johnson, Inc. (“Johnson & Johnson”), and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Teva”) have been named as defendants in class action lawsuits filed in 2019 and 2020 related to various drugs used to treat HIV, including drugs used in combination antiretroviral therapy. Plaintiffs allege that we (and the other defendants) engaged in various conduct to restrain competition in violation of federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws. The lawsuits, which have been consolidated, are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuits seek to bring claims on behalf of direct purchasers consisting largely of wholesalers and indirect or end-payor purchasers, including health insurers and individual patients. Plaintiffs seek damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief. In the second half of 2021 and first half of 2022, several plaintiffs consisting of retail pharmacies, individual health plans and United Healthcare, filed separate lawsuits effectively opting out of the class action cases, asserting claims that are substantively the same as the classes. These cases have been coordinated with the class actions. In March 2023, the District Court granted our motion to hold separate trials as to (i) the allegations against us and Teva seeking monetary damages relating to Truvada and Atripla (“Phase I”) and (ii) the allegations against us and, in part, Johnson & Johnson, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief relating to Complera (“Phase II”). In May 2023, we settled claims with the direct purchaser class and the retailer opt-out plaintiffs for $525 million, which we paid in the second half of 2023. The settlement agreements are not an admission of liability or fault by us. In June 2023, the jury returned a complete verdict in Gilead’s favor on the remaining plaintiffs’ Phase I allegations. In November 2023, the court denied plaintiffs’ motion to set aside the verdict, and in February 2024, the court entered final judgment on the Phase I verdict and certain summary judgment rulings. In September 2024, plaintiffs filed their opening appellate briefs challenging the Phase I verdict and those summary judgment rulings. We filed our responsive briefs in January 2025. Plaintiffs filed their reply briefs in March 2025. The court has stayed Phase II pending the appeal of Phase I. While we intend to vigorously oppose the appeal and defend against the Phase II claims, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome. If plaintiffs are successful in their appeal or Phase II claims, we could be required to pay monetary damages or could be subject to permanent injunctive relief in favor of plaintiffs.
In January 2022, we, along with BMS and Janssen Products, L.P., were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Mateo, by Aetna, Inc. on behalf of itself and its affiliates and subsidiaries that effectively opts the Aetna plaintiffs out of the above class actions. The allegations are substantively the same as those in the class actions. The Aetna plaintiffs seek damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief. In March 2024, the court denied our motion for judgment on the pleadings to preclude Aetna from re-litigating claims that were dismissed at summary judgment in the above class action cases. We filed a writ petition appealing the denial of our motion for judgment on the pleadings, which the appellate court denied in May 2024. In April 2024, the court granted our motion to bifurcate the case to adjudicate the issue of preclusion before litigating the merits of the case. In July 2024, Aetna filed a request to voluntarily dismiss two of its claims with prejudice, which the court subsequently granted, leaving only the claims related to Truvada and Atripla. In September 2024, Aetna filed an amended complaint with respect to these claims. In October 2024, we filed a demurrer and motion to strike plaintiff’s claims. In April 2025, the court overruled the demurrer and stated in its order that an immediate appeal is warranted.
In February 2021, we, along with BMS and Teva, were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the First Judicial District Court for the State of New Mexico, County of Santa Fe by the New Mexico Attorney General. The New Mexico Attorney General alleges that we (and the other defendants) restrained competition in violation of New Mexico antitrust and consumer protection laws. The New Mexico Attorney General seeks damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief. We moved to dismiss the case based on lack of personal jurisdiction and, in July 2023, the New Mexico Supreme Court remanded the case back to the trial court for limited jurisdictional discovery.
We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these actions, however, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome. If plaintiffs are successful in their claims, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages or could be subject to permanent injunctive relief awarded in favor of plaintiffs, which may result in a material, adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.
Product Liability
We have been named as a defendant in one putative class action lawsuit and various product liability lawsuits related to Viread, Truvada, Atripla, Complera and Stribild. Plaintiffs allege that Viread, Truvada, Atripla, Complera and/or Stribild caused them to experience kidney, bone and/or tooth injuries. The lawsuits, which are pending in state or federal court in California and Missouri, involve approximately 22,000 active plaintiffs. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss. The first bellwether trial in California state court was scheduled to begin in October 2022 but is currently stayed pending the conclusion of appellate proceedings in the California Supreme Court. In the California federal case, Gilead agreed to make a one-time payment of approximately $39 million to a group of plaintiffs (approximately 2,470 plaintiffs). The federal court set a trial date of March 2027 for the first bellwether trial of the remaining cases. Briefing is ongoing in the putative class action in Missouri regarding whether the court should certify the proposed class. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these actions, however, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome. If plaintiffs are successful in their claims, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages, which may result in a material, adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.
Government Investigation
In 2017, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York requesting documents related to our promotional speaker programs for HIV. In April 2025, we entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the government’s investigation.
Qui Tam Litigation
A former sales employee filed a qui tam lawsuit against Gilead in March 2017 in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Following the government’s decision not to intervene in the suit, the case was unsealed in December 2020. The lawsuit alleges that certain of Gilead’s HCV sales and marketing activities and donations to an independent charitable foundation violated the federal False Claims Act and various state false claims acts. The lawsuit seeks all available relief under these statutes.
Health Choice Advocates, LLC (“Health Choice”) filed a qui tam lawsuit against Gilead in May 2020 in Texas state court. The lawsuit alleged that Gilead violated the Texas Medicare Fraud Prevention Act (“TMFPA”) through our clinical educator programs for Sovaldi and Harvoni and our HCV and HIV patient support programs. The lawsuit sought all available relief under the TMFPA. Health Choice voluntarily dismissed the case without prejudice in August 2023, and commenced a new action in October 2023, asserting largely identical allegations and claims. In the newly filed action, the Texas Attorney General has intervened as a plaintiff.
We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these actions, however, we cannot predict the ultimate outcomes. If any of these plaintiffs are successful in their claims, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages, which may result in a material, adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, including in a particular reporting period in which any such outcome becomes probable and estimable.
Other Matters
We are a party to various legal actions that arose in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that it is probable or reasonably possible that these other legal actions will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The following table shows the calculation of Basic and Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Gilead:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (in millions, except per share amounts) | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Net income (loss) attributable to Gilead | $ | 1,315 | $ | (4,170) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shares used in basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to Gilead calculation | 1,246 | 1,247 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Dilutive effect of stock options and equivalents | 13 | — | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shares used in diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Gilead calculation | 1,259 | 1,247 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to Gilead | $ | 1.06 | $ | (3.34) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Gilead | $ | 1.04 | $ | (3.34) |
Potential shares of common stock excluded from the computation of Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to Gilead because their effect would have been antidilutive were 2 million and 13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
12. INCOME TAXES
The following table summarizes our Income tax expense (benefit):
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (in millions, except percentages) | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income (loss) before income taxes | $ | 1,649 | $ | (4,486) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income tax expense (benefit) | $ | 334 | $ | (315) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | 20.2 | % | 7.0 | % |
Our effective income tax rate of 20.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to tax benefits from stock-based compensation and provision to return adjustments, partially offset by fair value losses on our equity investments that are non-deductible for income tax purposes.
Our effective income tax rate of 7.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to $3.9 billion of non-deductible acquired IPR&D expense recorded in connection with our acquisition of CymaBay, partially offset by a decrease in state deferred tax liabilities associated with the $2.4 billion NSCLC IPR&D intangible asset impairment charge and settlements with tax authorities.
Our income tax returns are subject to audit by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for our 2019 to 2021 tax years. There are differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations, and as a result, significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues on the timing and amount of deductions and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions. We periodically evaluate our exposures associated with our tax filing positions.
13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have one operating segment which primarily focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative medicines in areas of unmet medical need. Our Chief Executive Officer, as the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), manages and allocates resources to the operations of our company on an entity-wide basis, using Net income (loss) attributable to Gilead as the primary performance measure. Managing and allocating resources on this basis enables our CODM to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions and research and development (“R&D”) projects based on unmet medical need, scientific data, probability of technical and regulatory successful development, market potential and other considerations, and, as necessary, reallocate resources among our internal R&D portfolio and external opportunities to best support the long-term growth of our business. Our CODM is regularly provided with entity-wide expense categories similar to those found on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as the following:
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| March 31, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| (in millions) | 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Selling and marketing expenses | $ | 753 | $ | 743 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| General and administrative expenses | 505 | 632 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Selling, general and administrative expenses | $ | 1,258 | $ | 1,375 |
Asset information is not regularly provided to the CODM for assessing performance and allocating resources other than consolidated cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, which can be found on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
We have evaluated subsequent events and determined that there are no further events or transactions to be disclosed other than those already disclosed elsewhere in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
