Amgen's Second Quarter 2013 Revenues Increased 5 Percent To $4.7 Billion And Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) Increased 3 Percent To $1.89

Second Quarter 2013 GAAP EPS Were $1.65

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., July 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2013.  Key results for the quarter include:

  • Total revenues increased 5 percent to $4,679 million, with 9 percent product sales growth driven by Enbrel® (etanercept), Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim), XGEVA® (denosumab), and Prolia® (denosumab).  Product sales included a positive adjustment of $185 million to previous estimates for managed Medicaid rebates based on recent claims experience.  Other revenues were lower by $193 million as a result of a payment from Takeda recognized in the second quarter of 2012.
  • Adjusted EPS grew 3 percent to $1.89, with higher revenues and a lower tax rate partially offset by increased Research & Development (R&D) investment.  Adjusted net income increased 1 percent to $1,444 million.
  • GAAP EPS were $1.65 compared to $1.61 and GAAP net income was $1,258 million compared to $1,266 million.
  • The Company generated approximately $1.4 billion of free cash flow.

"We saw solid product trends during the second quarter and are carrying good momentum into the second half," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer at Amgen. "We continue to make excellent progress with our pipeline of innovative molecules and look forward to multiple data readouts in 2014, including pivotal Phase 3 data for our cholesterol-lowering agent, AMG 145, in the first quarter."

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Discussion

  • The Company generated $1.4 billion of free cash flow in the second quarter of 2013 versus $2.2 billion in the second quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily driven by cash received in the second quarter of 2012 from the termination of fixed to floating interest rate swap agreements and the collection of outstanding trade receivables in Spain.
  • The Company did not repurchase shares in the quarter and has $1.6 billion remaining under its stock repurchase authorization.
  • The Company previously announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.47 per share dividend for the third quarter of 2013. The dividend will be paid on Sept. 6, 2013, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on Aug. 16, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

These adjustments and other items are presented on the attached reconciliations.

Management has presented its operating results in accordance with GAAP and on an "adjusted" (or non-GAAP) basis and Free Cash Flow which is a non-GAAP financial measure for the second quarters of 2013 and 2012.  In addition, management has presented its full year 2013 EPS and tax rate guidance in accordance with GAAP and on an "adjusted" (or non-GAAP) basis.  The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors.  The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in connection with its own budgeting and financial planning.  These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and others that can be found in our Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2012, and in any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.  Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project.  The Company's results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments (domestic or foreign) involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products (domestic or foreign), and difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products.  In addition, sales of our products are affected by reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payors, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement.  Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products.  Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities.  We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market.  Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims.  If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions.  Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors.  We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development.  In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products.  Discovery or identification of new product candidates cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate will be successful and become a commercial product.  Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers.  Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock.

(a)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the total pre-tax expense for employee stock options was $7 million and $18 million, respectively, compared with $16 million and $32 million for the corresponding periods of the prior year

(b)

The adjustments in 2013 related primarily to non-cash amortization of intangible assets acquired in prior year business combinations. The adjustments in 2012 related primarily to non-cash amortization of intangible assets as well as retention and severance expenses












(c)

The adjustments in 2013 related primarily to non-cash amortization of intangible assets acquired in prior year business combinations. The adjustments in 2012 related primarily to transaction costs and non-cash amortization of intangible assets












(d)

The tax effect of the adjustments between our GAAP and "Adjusted" results takes into account the tax treatment and related tax rate(s) that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction(s). Generally, this results in a tax impact at the U.S. marginal tax rate for certain adjustments, including the majority of amortization of intangible assets and non-cash interest expense associated with our convertible notes, whereas the tax impact of other adjustments, including stock option expense, depends on whether the amounts are deductible in the tax jurisdictions where the expenses are incurred or the asset is located and the applicable tax rate(s) in those jurisdictions. Due to these factors, the effective tax rates for the adjustments to our GAAP income before income taxes, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, were 20.5% and 23.4%, respectively, compared with 32.9% and 33.8% for the corresponding periods of the prior year
















Note:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, expenses related to amortization of certain acquired intangible assets within operating expenses have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation
