Amgen's 2023 non-GAAP EPS estimate of $17.40 to $18.60, and revenue estimate of $26B to $27.2B both came in within consensus expectations.
Consensus is $18.25 for EPS and $27.07B for revenue.
Estimates do not reflect Amgen's (NASDAQ:AMGN) proposed acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics (HZNP). Both companies received a "Second Request" for information related to the deal from the Federal Trade Commission on Monday.
Although total revenue of $6.8B in Q4 2022 was flat year over year, it was enough to beat analyst expectations. Non-GAAP EPS of $4.09 was in-line.
Sales of Amgen's (AMGN) best selling drug, Enbrel (etanercept), declined 1% compared to the prior-year period to ~$1.1B.
Medicines that saw the highest YoY percentage growth at, respectively, 58% and 57%, were Lumakras (sotorasib) and Evenity (romosozumab) with $71M and $225M in revenue.
Other therapies that saw double-digit percentage growth in the quarter compared to the prior-year period were Prolia (denomsumab)(14%) $992M; Nplate (romiplostom)(66%) $469M; and Repatha (evolocumab)(22%) $333M.
Amgen ended 2022 with $9.3B in cash and investments, compared to $8B at the end of 2021.
During Q4, there were no stock repurchases made, although 26.1M shares were repurchased in 2022.
