BMS's acquisition includes KarXT, a potential first-in-class schizophrenia treatment with a PDUFA date set for September 26, 2024, and a pipeline of early-stage and pre-clinical neuroscience assets. The acquisition is expected to be dilutive to BMS's non-GAAP diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.30 in 2024 due to financing costs, but BMS plans to offset these costs through disciplined resource allocation and cost efficiencies. The transaction will also result in a one-time, non-deductible Acquired In-Process Research and Development charge of approximately $12 billion, impacting both GAAP and non-GAAP EPS by approximately $5.93. BMS will update its financial outlook for the first quarter of 2024 on April 25, 2024. Advisors for the transaction included Gordon Dyal & Co. and Citi for BMS, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC for Karuna.
