In context
“quarter P&L on slide 28. R&D expenses were $1.6 billion down 3% relative to the same period in 2024, and SG&A expenses were $1.7 billion down 9% year over year primarily due to lower G&A expenses. Overall, our non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $1.86 in 2025, compared to $1.90 in the same period in 2024 primarily due to higher acquired IPR&D expenses partially offset by higher product sales and lower SG&A expenses.

And SG&A expenses to increase by a mid-single-digit percentage relative to 2025, reflecting higher investments in sales and marketing to support our commercial launches, offset in part by lower G&A expenses. We expect full-year 2026 non-GAAP operating income of between $13.8 billion and $14.3 billion a tax rate of approximately 20%, and non-GAAP diluted EPS in the range of $8.45 and $8.85 per share. As Johanna mentioned, and as shown on slide 30, we expect an approximate 2% headwind to growth in 2026 primarily associated with the impact of the drug pricing agreement announced in December 2025 and the expected impact of updates to the Affordable C”
