4Q23 revenue was $14.2B, -42% YoY—but +8% YoY excluding COVID-related revenue. 4Q23 COVID-related revenue was $2.2B, down from $13.2B in 4Q22.
4Q23 GAAP and non-GAAP EPS were ($0.60) and $0.10, respectively. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP figures include a ($0.54) hit from the previously reported $3.5B reversal of Pavlovid sales to the US government; 4Q23 GAAP EPS (but not non-GAAP EPS) also includes a $1.4B non-cash writedown for Etrasimod (due to more conservative assumptions about new indications) and a $1B non-cash writedown for Prevnar-13 (which is now an obsolete product due to Prevar-20).
2024 guidance remains as per PFE’s press release of 12/13/23 (#msg-173417828). 2024 non-GAAP EPS guidance of $2.05-2.25 includes a negative $0.40 hit from SGEN, most of which stems from the net interest expense on the $43B of net debt PFE took on to fund the acquisition.
Note: The SGEN acquisition closed on 12/14/23, so SGEN’s sales and earnings were included in PFE’s 4Q23 results for only about 15% of the period, contributing ~$200M to sales.
