FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

 

  •  

Bristol-Myers Squibb posted fourth quarter 2008 net sales from continuing operations of $5.2 billion, an increase of 4%, or 8% excluding foreign exchange impact, compared to the same period in 2007. Pharmaceutical net sales totaled $4.5 billion and sales from Mead Johnson Nutrition Company totaled $707 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, representing increases of 4% and 6%, respectively, compared to 2007.

 

  •  

U.S. pharmaceutical net sales increased 13% to $2.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. International pharmaceutical net sales decreased 9% to $1.7 billion. This decrease was due primarily to an 8% unfavorable foreign exchange impact and the divestiture and erosion of some mature brands in Latin America, Middle East and Japan.

 

  •  

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales improved to 71.0% in the fourth quarter 2008 compared to 66.1% in 2007. This improvement was mostly driven by higher manufacturing rationalization charges in 2007, cost improvements, favorable product mix and price increases.

 

  •  

Marketing, selling and administrative expenses increased by 2%, or 7% excluding foreign exchange impact, to $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007.

 

  •  

Advertising and product promotion spending decreased by 3%, or was flat excluding foreign exchange impact, to $449 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007.

 

  •  

Research and development expenses increased by 29%, or 31% excluding foreign exchange impact, to $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The increase was due to upfront and milestone payments to Exelixis in 2008 as part of an expansion of the collaboration between the companies.

 

  •  

The effective tax rate on earnings from continuing operations before minority interest and income taxes was 22.5% for the fourth quarter of 2008, and includes the full-year impact of the research and development tax credit.

 

  •  

The company reported fourth quarter net earnings from continuing operations of $1.2 billion or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $192 million or $0.10 per diluted share for the same period in 2007. The fourth quarter 2008 net earnings include a $582 million after tax gain, or $0.29 per

diluted share, mainly attributed to the proceeds from the sale of our stake in ImClone Systems. An overview of the specified items is discussed under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.”

PRODUCT AND PIPELINE UPDATE

 

  •  

Bristol-Myers Squibb’s top-line growth in the fourth quarter was led by key drivers including steady growth for PLAVIX in the U.S. and strong sales increases for ABILIFY across all indications and regions. ORENCIA and SPRYCEL sales continued to grow, fueled by additional indications and country approvals. The company’s virology portfolio, led by the SUSTIVA franchise for HIV and BARACLUDE for hepatitis B also demonstrated consistent growth worldwide.

 

  •  

In December, the company and its marketing partner, sanofi-aventis, announced that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld the June 19, 2007 decision by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York holding the U.S. patent 4,847,265 covering clopidogrel bisulphate, the active ingredient in PLAVIX, valid and enforceable. As a result of this ruling, the ‘265 patent protection for this product is maintained in the United States until November 2011, subject to any further legal proceedings.

 

  •  

In the fourth quarter, the company submitted a supplemental biologics licensing application (sBLA) which was accepted for filing by the FDA for the use of ORENCIA for patients with early rheumatoid arthritis.

 

  •  

The company announced new data in November from two separate cohort evaluations, which suggest that long-term treatment with BARACLUDE may reduce liver damage caused by chronic hepatitis B. Long-term treatment with BARACLUDE was associated with improved liver histology, including improvement in fibrosis, in chronic hepatitis B patients.

 

  •  

On October 1, the FDA approved the use of REYATAZ 300 milligram once-daily boosted with ritonavir 100 milligram as part of combination therapy in previously untreated (treatment-naïve) HIV-1 infected patients.

  •  

In November, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) in Europe issued a negative opinion on the marketing authorization application for IXEMPRA (ixabepilone) in the treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer. Bristol-Myers Squibb submitted a request for re-examination of the opinion and will continue to work closely with the agency.

 

  •  

In January 2009, the company announced the approval of SPRYCEL in Japan.

SELECTED BALANCE SHEET AND CASH UPDATE

Bristol-Myers Squibb continues to make significant progress in strengthening its balance sheet and cash position. The company launched a new working capital initiative during the quarter with the goal of improving cash flows by approximately $1 billion by 2010. This will help provide greater flexibility for future strategic investments.

The company’s cash and cash equivalents were $8.0 billion as of December 31, 2008 of which a significant majority was invested in U.S. Treasury Bills and Treasury-backed securities. The company’s net cash position improved to $1.5 billion from $1.2 billion as of September 30. The company received $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter from the sale of its shares of ImClone Systems and also received proceeds from the sale of a non-core businesses.

PRODUCTIVITY TRANSFORMATION UPDATE

In December 2007 and July 2008, Bristol-Myers Squibb announced parts of its overall Productivity Transformation Initiative (PTI) designed to create a total of $2.5 billion in productivity cost savings and avoidance by 2012. The company has identified projects to deliver the entire $2.5 billion and by the end of 2008, had executed actions against projects to deliver approximately $1.2 billion in annual productivity savings.

These successful continuous improvement initiatives encompass all areas of the company including procurement, research and development, supply chain optimization and commercial operations. As planned, the company has streamlined the organization, which has included the reduction of headcount, in alignment with the new BioPharma model. The total charges associated with both previously-announced waves of PTI are estimated to be in the range of $1.3 billion to $1.6 billion, which includes approximately $700 million of costs already incurred.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Bristol-Myers Squibb continued to move forward with the previously-announced initial public offering of Mead Johnson Nutrition Company and intends to complete the transaction in the first half of 2009.

The company is focused on supplementing its internal research and development portfolio with strategic partnerships and acquisitions. In December, the company announced a global collaboration with Exelixis, Inc. covering two novel molecules for cancer: XL184, a small molecule inhibitor of MET, VEGFR2 and RET, which is currently in Phase III development for medullary thyroid cancer and XL281, a small molecule inhibitor of RAF kinase, which is currently in Phase I development for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumor malignancies.

The company and its partner AstraZeneca announced the expansion of the companies’ worldwide collaboration to develop and commercialize dapagliflozin in Japan. Dapagliflozin is currently being studied in Phase III clinical trials to assess its efficacy and safety as a once-daily treatment for type 2 diabetes.

On January 12, 2009 the company announced a global collaboration with ZymoGenetics for a PEG-interferon lambda, a novel type 3 interferon currently in Phase Ib development for the treatment of Hepatitis C, and its related development program.

2009 GUIDANCE

Bristol-Myers Squibb has provided 2009 GAAP EPS guidance of $1.58 to $1.73 and non-GAAP EPS guidance of $1.85 to $2.00. Key non-GAAP guidance assumptions include low single-digit revenue growth (mid-to-high single digit growth excluding foreign exchange); slight improvement in gross margins; advertising and promotion increase in the low-to-mid single-digit range; marketing, sales and administrative expense decrease in the low-to-mid single digits; research and development expense growth in the mid single-digit range; and an effective tax rate of approximately 24%.

The company reaffirms guidance that it expects non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations to grow at a minimum of 15 percent compounded annual growth rate, from the 2007 base through 2010 without rebasing for the sale of the ConvaTec business, excluding costs associated with the PTI and other specified items that have not yet been identified and quantified.

The non-GAAP 2009 guidance and the three-year compound annual growth rate exclude other specified items such as gains or losses from sale of businesses and product lines; from sale of equity investments and from discontinued operations; restructuring and other exit costs; accelerated depreciation charges; asset impairments; charges and recoveries relating to significant legal proceedings;

 

5

upfront and milestone payments for licensing arrangements; payments for in-process research and development; debt retirement costs; impairments to investments; and significant tax events.

The financial guidance for 2009 and the three-year compound annual growth rate exclude the impact of any potential strategic acquisitions and divestitures and further assume that the company and its partner, sanofi-aventis, maintain U.S. exclusivity for the PLAVIX® patent through at least 2010.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share information, adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items. Among the items in GAAP measures but excluded for purposes of determining adjusted earnings and other adjusted measures are: charges related to implementation of the Productivity Transformation Initiative and the company’s strategy for Mead Johnson Nutritionals; gains or losses from the sale of businesses and product lines; the sale and leaseback of properties; discontinued operations; restructuring and other exit costs; accelerated depreciation charges; asset impairments; charges and recoveries relating to significant legal proceedings; upfront and milestone payments for in-licensing of products that have not achieved regulatory approval that are immediately expensed; payments for in-process research and development; impairments to investments; and significant tax events. This information is intended to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. For example, non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share information is an indication of the company’s baseline performance before items that are considered by the company to be not reflective of the company’s ongoing results. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators the company uses as a basis for evaluating company performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting of future periods. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
