AstraZeneca PLC Analyst Notes
On April 24, 2014, AstraZeneca PLC (AstraZeneca) reported its financial results for Q1 2014. The Company posted 0.49% YoY increase in revenue to $6.4 billion. Core operating margin was down by 5.0 percentage points to 30.4% of revenue, as a result of the increased investment in R&D and growth platforms. Net income for Q1 2014 came in at $527 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, as compared to $828 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, in the prior year period. AstraZeneca attributed decline in net income to the loss on disposal of Alderley Park and the impact of the acquisition of the global diabetes alliance. The Company's core EPS also declined to $1.17 from $1.41 in Q1 2013, mainly due to investment in the key growth platforms and rapidly progressing pipeline. AstraZeneca continues to maintain its guidance at low-to-mid single digit percentage decline in revenues for full-year 2014.
