In context
“returned capital to shareholders through competitive dividend payments of $2.38 per share in the fourth quarter representing a 6% increase compared to 2024. Let's turn to the 2026 outlook on Slide 37. We expect our 2026 total revenues in the range of $37 billion to $38.4 billion and non-GAAP earnings per share between $21.6 to $23. Our revenue range reflects continuing strong performance from our six key growth drivers. Repatha of Entity, TESSPIRE, our rare disease, innovative oncology, and biosimilars portfolios, positioning 2026 as a springboard year for future growth. We expect this growth in 2026 to more than offset anticipated declines from increased denote biosimilar competition. Price declines for certain other products in 2026, and continued increases in 340B program utilization. As you model the 2026, consistent with historical trends, tied to the annual United States health insurance cycle we expect a seasonal headwind to sales driven by benefit plan changes, insurance reverifications, and higher patient co-pay obligations. We also expect Otezla and Enbrel to follow their historical pattern of lower sales in the first quarter relative to subsequent quarters and expect additional impact from denosumab biosimilar competition in Q1. Additionally, note that we saw roughly $250 million of inventory build in 2025, that could potentially impact first-quarter sales. For total company revenues, we expect lower mid-single-digit year-over-year growth in the first quarter. For the full year, we expect other revenue in the range of $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion reflecting our commitment to investing in the best innovation while also driving execution excellence efficiency and prioritization across the organization, we project the full-year non-GAAP operating margin as a percentage of product sales to be roughly 45% to 46%”
