Note 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Basis of Consolidation
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company ("BMS", "we", "our", "us" or "the Company") prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the SEC and U.S. GAAP for interim reporting. Under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required for annual financial statements can be condensed or omitted. The Company is responsible for the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the 2023 Form 10-K. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the document.
Business Segment Information
BMS operates in a single segment engaged in the discovery, development, licensing, manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases. A global research and development organization and supply chain organization are responsible for the discovery, development, manufacturing and supply of products. Regional commercial organizations market, distribute and sell the products. The business is also supported by global corporate staff functions. Consistent with BMS's operational structure, the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), as the chief operating decision maker, manages and allocates resources at the global corporate level. Managing and allocating resources at the global corporate level enables the CEO to assess both the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions, therapeutic areas, regional commercial organizations and research and development projects in line with our overarching long-term corporate-wide strategic goals, rather than on a product or franchise basis. The determination of a single segment is consistent with the financial information regularly reviewed by the CEO for purposes of evaluating performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting future periods. For further information on product and regional revenue, see "—Note 2. Revenue".
Use of Estimates and Judgments
Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Accordingly, the results and trends in these unaudited consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of full year operating results. The preparation of financial statements requires the use of management estimates, judgments and assumptions. The most significant assumptions are estimates used in determining accounting for acquisitions; impairments of intangible assets; charge-backs, cash discounts, sales rebates, returns and other adjustments; legal contingencies; and income taxes. Actual results may differ from estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued amended guidance on income tax disclosures. The guidance is intended to provide additional disaggregation to the effective income tax rate reconciliation and income tax payment disclosures. The amended guidance is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued amended guidance for improvements to reportable segment disclosures. The revised guidance requires that a public entity disclose significant segment expenses regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), including public entities with a single reportable segment. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2024 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2025 and should be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.

Note 3. ALLIANCES
BMS enters into collaboration arrangements with third parties for the development and commercialization of certain products. Although each of these arrangements is unique in nature, both parties are active participants in the operating activities of the collaboration and exposed to significant risks and rewards depending on the commercial success of the activities. BMS refers to these collaborations as alliances, and its partners as alliance partners.

Selected financial information pertaining to alliances was as follows, including net product sales when BMS is the principal in the third-party customer sale for products subject to the alliance. Expenses summarized below do not include all amounts attributed to the activities for the products in the alliance, but only the payments between the alliance partners or the related amortization if the payments were deferred or capitalized.

The nature, purpose, significant rights and obligations of the parties and specific accounting policy elections for each of the Company's significant alliances are discussed in the 2023 Form 10-K. Significant developments and updates related to alliances during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are set forth below.
SystImmune
BMS and SystImmune, Inc. ("SystImmune") are parties to a global strategic collaboration for the co-development and co-commercialization of BL-B01D1, a bispecific topoisomerase inhibitor-based anti-body drug conjugate, which is currently being evaluated in a Phase I clinical trial for metastatic or unresectable NSCLC and is also in development for breast cancer and other tumor types. BMS paid an upfront fee of $800 million, which was included in Acquired IPRD during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. BMS is also obligated to pay up to $7.6 billion upon the achievement of contingent development, regulatory and sales-based milestones.
The parties will jointly develop and commercialize BL-B01D1 in the U.S. and share in the profits and losses. SystImmune will be responsible for the development, commercialization, and manufacturing in Mainland China and will be responsible for manufacturing certain drug supplies for outside of Mainland China, where BMS will receive a royalty on net sales. BMS will be responsible for the development and commercialization in the rest of the world, where SystImmune will receive a royalty on net sales.
Eisai
In June 2024, BMS and Eisai agreed to end the global strategic collaboration for the co-development and co-commercialization of MORAb-202 due to the ongoing portfolio prioritization efforts within BMS. All rights and obligations for MORAb-202 were transferred to Eisai and BMS will receive $90 million as part of the termination, which was included in Other (income)/expense, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, of which $85 million was received during the third quarter of 2024.

Note 4. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTITURES, LICENSING AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
Asset Acquisition
Karuna
On March 18, 2024, BMS acquired Karuna, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company driven to discover, develop, and deliver transformative medicines for people living with psychiatric and neurological conditions. The acquisition provided BMS with rights to Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride), formerly KarXT. Cobenfy is an antipsychotic with a novel mechanism of action and differentiated efficacy and safety, which was approved by the FDA on September 26, 2024 for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. Cobenfy is also in registrational trials for both adjunctive therapy to existing standard of care agents in schizophrenia and the treatment of psychosis in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
BMS acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Karuna's common stock for $330.00 per share in an all-cash transaction for total consideration of $14.0 billion, or $12.9 billion net of cash acquired. The acquisition was funded primarily with debt proceeds (see "—Note 10. Financing Arrangements" for further detail). The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition since Cobenfy represented substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. As a result, $12.1 billion was expensed to Acquired IPRD during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The following summarizes the total consideration transferred and allocation of consideration transferred to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and Acquired IPRD expense:

Total consideration allocated | $ | ||||
(a) Includes cash-settled unvested equity awards of $130 million expensed in Marketing, selling and administrative and $159 million expensed in Research and development during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Business Combinations
RayzeBio
On February 26, 2024, BMS acquired RayzeBio, a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical therapeutics ("RPT") company with actinium-based RPTs for solid tumors. The acquisition provided BMS with rights to RayzeBio’s actinium-based radiopharmaceutical platform and lead asset, RYZ101, which is in Phase III development for treatment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
BMS acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of RayzeBio's common stock for $62.50 per share in an all-cash transaction for total consideration of $4.1 billion, or $3.6 billion net of cash acquired. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and debt proceeds (see "—Note 10. Financing Arrangements" for further detail).
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination requiring all assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date.
Total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following:
10
| Dollars in millions | |||||
| Cash consideration for outstanding shares | $ | ||||
| Cash consideration for equity awards | |||||
| Consideration paid | |||||
Less: Unvested stock awards(a) | ( | ||||
| Total consideration allocated | $ | ||||
(a) Includes cash settlement for unvested equity awards of $159 million expensed in Marketing, selling and administrative and $115 million expensed in Research and development during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The purchase price allocation resulted in the following amounts being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based upon their respective fair values summarized below:
| Dollars in millions | Purchase Price Allocation | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | ||||
| Other assets | |||||
| Intangible assets | |||||
| Deferred income tax asset | |||||
| Deferred income tax liability | ( | ||||
| Other liabilities | ( | ||||
| Identifiable net assets acquired | $ | ||||
| Goodwill | |||||
| Total consideration allocated | $ | ||||
Intangible assets included $1.7 billion of indefinite-lived IPRD and $2.0 billion of R&D technology. The estimated fair values for the indefinite-lived IPRD asset and the R&D technology were determined using an income approach valuation method. Goodwill resulted primarily from the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and is not deductible for tax purposes.
Mirati
On January 23, 2024, BMS acquired Mirati, a commercial stage targeted oncology company, obtaining the rights to commercialize lung cancer medicine Krazati, and several clinical assets, including PRMT5 Inhibitor (formerly MRTX1719). Krazati is an inhibitor of the KRASG12C mutation approved by the FDA as a second-line treatment for patients with NSCLC and is in clinical development in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor as a first-line therapy for patients with NSCLC. Krazati also is in clinical development both as a single agent, and in combinations, for additional indications. PRMT5 Inhibitor is a potential first-in-class MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor in Phase I development. BMS obtained access to several other clinical and pre-clinical stage assets, including additional KRAS inhibitors and enabling programs.
BMS acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mirati's common stock for $58.00 per share in an all-cash transaction for total consideration of $4.8 billion, or $4.1 billion net of cash acquired. Mirati stockholders also received one non-tradeable contingent value right (CVR) for each share of Mirati common stock held, potentially worth $12.00 per share in cash for a total value of approximately $1.0 billion. The payout of the contingent value right is subject to the FDA acceptance of an NDA for PRMT5 Inhibitor for the treatment of specific indications within seven years of the closing of the transaction. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and debt proceeds (see "—Note 10. Financing Arrangements" for further detail).
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination requiring all assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date.

Total consideration for the acquisition consisted of the following:
| Dollars in millions | |||||
| Cash consideration for outstanding shares | $ | ||||
| Cash consideration for equity awards | |||||
| Consideration paid | |||||
| Plus: Fair value of CVRs | |||||
Less: unvested stock awards(a) | ( | ||||
| Total consideration allocated | $ | ||||
(a) Includes cash settlement of unvested equity awards of $60 million expensed in Marketing, selling and administrative and $54 million expensed in Research and development during nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The purchase price allocation resulted in the following amounts being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date based upon their respective fair values summarized below:
| Dollars in millions | Purchase price allocation | ||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | ||||
| Inventories | |||||
| Other assets | |||||

| Deferred income tax assets | |||||
| Deferred income tax liabilities | ( | ||||
| Other liabilities | ( | ||||
| Identifiable net assets acquired | $ | ||||
| Goodwill | |||||
| Total consideration allocated | $ | ||||
Inventories includes a fair value adjustment of $148 million. Intangible assets included $640 million of definite-lived Acquired marketed product rights (Krazati) and $3.5 billion of indefinite-lived IPRD assets. The estimated fair value of both definite-lived Acquired marketed product rights and indefinite-lived IPRD assets was determined using an income approach valuation method. Goodwill resulted primarily from the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and is not deductible for tax purposes.
The results of operations and cash flows for Karuna, RayzeBio and Mirati were included in the consolidated financial statements commencing on their respective acquisition dates and were not material. Historical financial results of the acquired entities were not significant.
Divestitures
The following table summarizes the financial impact of divestitures including royalties, which are included in Other (income)/expense, net. Revenue and pretax earnings related to all divestitures were not material in all periods presented (excluding divestiture gains or losses).

Litigation and Other Settlements
BeiGene Settlement
In August 2023, BMS and BeiGene, Ltd. ("BeiGene") entered into an agreement that terminated all contractual relationships and settled all on-going disputes and claims between the parties, including those related to the Abraxane license and supply agreements and related arbitration proceedings that were previously disclosed.

Note 6. RESTRUCTURING
2023 Restructuring Plan
In 2023, BMS commenced a restructuring plan to accelerate the delivery of medicines to patients by evolving and streamlining its enterprise operating model in key areas, such as R&D, manufacturing, commercial and other functions, to ensure its operating model supports and is appropriately aligned with the Company’s strategy to invest in key priorities. These changes primarily include (i) transforming R&D operations to accelerate pipeline delivery, (ii) enhancing our commercial operating model, and (iii) establishing a more responsive manufacturing network and expanding our cell therapy manufacturing capabilities. Consistent with our prioritization and efficiency goals communicated earlier this year, BMS continues to execute on strategic productivity initiatives through portfolio prioritization and management of our operating costs. Total expected restructuring costs under the 2023 Restructuring Plan to be incurred through 2026 are approximately $1.5 billion. These costs consist primarily of employee termination costs, and to a lesser extent, site exit costs, including impairment and accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment.
Celgene and Other Acquisition Plans
Restructuring and integration plans were initiated to realize expected cost synergies resulting from cost savings and avoidance from the acquisitions of Celgene (2019), Turning Point (2022), Mirati (2024), RayzeBio (2024) and Karuna (2024). For these plans, the remaining charges of approximately $350 million consist primarily of employee termination costs, IT system integration costs, and to a lesser extent, site exit costs, including impairment and accelerated depreciation of property, plant and equipment.

Income tax provision | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | % | % | ( | % | % | ||||||||||||||||||
Provision for income taxes in interim periods is determined based on the estimated annual effective tax rates and the tax impact of discrete items that are reflected immediately. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily impacted by changes in previously estimated annual effective tax rates resulting from jurisdictional earnings mix.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was impacted by a $12.1 billion one-time, non-tax deductible charge for the acquisition of Karuna, as well as the release of income tax reserves of $644 million related to the resolution of Celgene's 2017-2019 IRS audit and jurisdictional earnings mix resulting from amortization of acquired intangible assets.
The effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily impacted by the Section 174 guidance regarding deductibility of certain non-U.S. research and development expenses. The revised guidance resulted in a reduction of previously estimated income taxes for 2022, which was reflected in the third quarter of 2023, as well as a reduction in the estimated annual effective rates for 2023. Previously estimated income taxes for 2022 were reduced by approximately $240 million upon finalization of the U.S. Federal tax return primarily due to the aforementioned revised Section 174 guidance that was issued in the third quarter of 2023.
15
In addition to the above mentioned impact of the Section 174 guidance, the effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was impacted by a $656 million deferred income tax benefit following the receipt of a non-U.S. tax ruling regarding the deductibility of a statutory impairment of subsidiary investment, jurisdictional earnings mix resulting from amortization of acquired intangible assets, equity investment losses, litigation and other settlements, as well as releases of income tax reserves of $89 million related to the resolution of Celgene's 2009-2011 IRS audit.
Additional changes to the effective tax rate may occur in future periods due to various reasons, including changes to the estimated pretax earnings mix and tax reserves and revised interpretations or changes to the tax legislation code.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, income tax payments were $3.1 billion and $4.1 billion, including $799 million and $567 million, respectively, for the transition tax following the TCJA enactment.
BMS is currently under examination by a number of tax authorities that proposed or are considering proposing material adjustments to tax positions for issues such as transfer pricing, certain tax credits and the deductibility of certain expenses. As previously disclosed, BMS received several notices of proposed adjustments from the IRS related to transfer pricing and other tax issues for the 2008 to 2012 tax years. BMS disagrees with the IRS's positions and continues to work cooperatively with the IRS to resolve these issues. In the fourth quarter of 2022, BMS entered the IRS administrative appeals process to resolve these matters. Timing of the final resolution of these complex matters is uncertain and could have a material impact on BMS's consolidated financial statements.
It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2024 could decrease in the range of approximately $90 million to $130 million in the next twelve months as a result of the settlement of certain tax audits and other events. The expected change in unrecognized tax benefits may result in the payment of additional taxes, adjustment of certain deferred taxes and/or recognition of tax benefits.
It is reasonably possible that new issues will be raised by tax authorities that may increase unrecognized tax benefits, however, an estimate of such increases cannot reasonably be made at this time. BMS believes that it has adequately provided for all open tax years by jurisdiction.

As further described in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements" in the Company's 2023 Form 10-K, the Company's fair value estimates use inputs that are either (1) quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1 inputs); (2) observable prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (Level 2 inputs); or (3) unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs). The fair value of Level 2 equity investments is adjusted for characteristics specific to the security and is not adjusted for contractual sale restrictions. Equity investments subject to contractual sale restrictions were not material as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Marketable Debt Securities
The amortized cost for marketable debt securities approximates its fair value and these securities mature within five years as of September 30, 2024, and four years as of December 31, 2023.

Qualifying Hedges and Non-Qualifying Derivatives
Cash Flow Hedges
BMS enters into foreign currency forward and purchased local currency put option contracts (foreign exchange contracts) to hedge certain forecasted intercompany inventory sales, third party sales and certain other foreign currency transactions. The objective of these foreign exchange contracts is to reduce variability caused by changes in foreign exchange rates that would affect the U.S. dollar value of future cash flows derived from foreign currency denominated sales, primarily the euro and Japanese yen. The fair values of these derivative contracts are recorded as either assets (gain positions) or liabilities (loss positions) in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in fair value for these foreign exchange contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges, are temporarily recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") and reclassified to net earnings when the hedged item affects earnings (typically within the next 24 months). As of September 30, 2024, assuming market rates remain constant through contract maturities, BMS expects to reclassify pretax losses of $23 million into Cost of products sold for our foreign exchange contracts out of AOCL during the next 12 months. The notional amount of outstanding foreign currency exchange contracts was primarily $4.1 billion for the euro contracts and $1.2 billion for Japanese yen contracts as of September 30, 2024.
18
BMS also enters into cross-currency swap contracts to hedge exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with its long-term debt denominated in euros. These contracts convert interest payments and principal repayment of the long-term debt to U.S. dollars from euros and are designated as cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are reported in AOCL and reclassified to Other (income)/expense, net, in the same periods during which the hedged debt affects earnings. The notional amount of cross-currency swap contracts associated with long-term debt denominated in euros was $1.2 billion as of September 30, 2024.
In January 2024, BMS entered into forward interest rate contracts of a total notional value of $5.0 billion to hedge future interest rate risk associated with the unsecured senior notes issued in February 2024. The forward interest rate contracts were designated as cash flow hedges and terminated upon the issuance of the unsecured senior notes. The $131 million gain on the transaction was included in Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income and is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the term of the related debt. Amounts expected to be recognized during the subsequent 12 months on forward interest rate contracts are not material.
Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued when the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring within 60 days after the originally forecasted date or when the hedge is no longer effective. Assessments to determine whether derivatives designated as qualifying hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items are performed at inception and on a quarterly basis. The earnings impact related to discontinued cash flow hedges and hedge ineffectiveness was not material during all periods presented. Foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as a cash flow hedge offset exposures in certain foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and earnings. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings as they occur.
Net Investment Hedges
Cross-currency swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts of $1.5 billion as of September 30, 2024 are designated to hedge currency exposure of BMS's net investment in its foreign subsidiaries. Contract fair value changes are recorded in the foreign currency translation component of AOCL with a related offset in derivative asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The notional amount of outstanding cross-currency swap and foreign currency forward contracts was primarily attributed to the Japanese yen of $713 million and euro of $721 million as of September 30, 2024.
In 2023, the Company de-designated its remaining net investment hedge in debt denominated in euros of €375 million. The related net investment hedge was entered into to hedge euro currency exposures of the net investment in certain foreign affiliates and was recognized in Long-term debt. The effective portion of foreign exchange gain or loss on the remeasurement of debt denominated in euros was included in the foreign currency translation component of AOCL with the related offset in Long-term debt.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the amortization of gains related to the portion of our net investment hedges that was excluded from the assessment of effectiveness was not material.
Fair Value Hedges
Fixed to floating interest rate swap contracts are designated as fair value hedges and used as an interest rate risk management strategy to create an appropriate balance of fixed and floating rate debt. The contracts and underlying debt for the hedged benchmark risk are recorded at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value of the underlying debt attributable to the hedged benchmark interest rate risk are recorded in interest expense with an associated offset to the carrying value of debt. Since the specific terms and notional amount of the swap are intended to align with the debt being hedged, all changes in fair value of the swap are recorded in interest expense with an associated offset to the derivative asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets. As a result, there was no net impact in earnings. If the underlying swap is terminated prior to maturity, then the fair value adjustment to the underlying debt is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt.
Derivative cash flows, with the exception of net investment hedges, are principally classified in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows, consistent with the underlying hedged item. Cash flows related to net investment hedges are classified in investing activities.

Note 18. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES
BMS and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims, government investigations and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These claims or proceedings can involve various types of parties, including governments, competitors, customers, partners, suppliers, service providers, licensees, licensors, employees, or shareholders, among others. These matters may involve patent infringement, antitrust, securities, pricing, sales and marketing practices, environmental, commercial, contractual rights, licensing obligations, health and safety matters, consumer fraud, employment matters, product liability and insurance coverage, among others. The resolution of these matters often develops over a long period of time and expectations can change as a result of new findings, rulings, appeals or settlement arrangements. Legal proceedings that are significant or that BMS believes could become significant or material are described below.
While BMS does not believe that any of these matters, except as otherwise specifically noted below, will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or liquidity as BMS believes it has substantial claims and/or defenses in the matters, the outcomes of BMS's legal proceedings and other contingencies are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. There can be no assurance that there will not be an increase in the scope of one or more of these pending matters or any other or future lawsuits, claims, government investigations or other legal proceedings will not be material to BMS's financial position, results of operations or cash flows for a particular period. Furthermore, failure to successfully enforce BMS's patent rights would likely result in substantial decreases in the respective product revenues from generic competition.
Unless otherwise noted, BMS is unable to assess the outcome of the respective matters nor is it able to estimate the possible loss or range of losses that could potentially result for such matters. Contingency accruals are recognized when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. Developments in legal proceedings and other matters that could cause changes in the amounts previously accrued are evaluated each reporting period. For a discussion of BMS’s tax contingencies, see " —Note 7. Income Taxes."
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Eliquis - Europe
Lawsuits have been filed by generic companies in various countries in Europe seeking revocation of our composition-of-matter patents and SPCs relating to Eliquis, and trials or preliminary proceedings have been held in certain of those cases.
28
In Belgium, BMS filed infringement proceedings against Sandoz in February 2024. A hearing date in these proceedings has been scheduled for November 2024.
In Croatia, in February 2024, the court granted BMS's request for a preliminary injunction to prohibit Teva from offering, storing or selling generic Eliquis products in Croatia. Teva appealed this decision. On July 24, 2024, Teva's appeal was rejected by the Croatian Court of Appeal.
In Finland, the court granted our request for a preliminary injunction prohibiting Teva from offering, storing or selling generic Eliquis products in Finland that have obtained price and reimbursement. A trial regarding Teva's challenge to the validity of the Finnish composition-of-matter patent and related SPC concluded on July 5, 2023. On May 22, 2024, the Finnish court held the patent to be invalid and lifted the preliminary injunction. BMS has sought permission to appeal this decision. Teva and Sandoz have both launched generic apixaban products on the Finnish market.
In France, a trial was held regarding Teva's challenge to the validity of the French composition-of-matter patent and related SPC, and a decision was issued on June 8, 2023, confirming their validity and rejecting Teva's claims. Teva has appealed the decision and a hearing of the appeal has been scheduled for November 2025.
In Ireland, the court granted our request for a preliminary injunction prohibiting Teva from making, offering, putting on the market and/or using and/or importing or stocking for the aforesaid purposes, generic Eliquis products. The trial court's preliminary injunction decision was subsequently affirmed on appeal by the Irish Court of Appeal. In a decision delivered on December 8, 2023, the Irish trial court found the Irish composition-of-matter patent and related SPC to be invalid. BMS appealed the Irish trial court's decision. On June 13, 2024, the Irish Court of Appeal entered an injunction restraining Teva from launching its generic product pending the determination of BMS's appeal of the trial court's invalidity decision.
In the Netherlands, our requests for preliminary injunctions to prevent at-risk generic launches by Sandoz, Stada and Teva prior to full trials on the validity of the Dutch composition-of-matter patent and SPC were initially denied by the lower courts. However, in a judgment issued on August 15, 2023, the Dutch Court of Appeal overturned the decisions of the lower court, issued preliminary injunctions against Sandoz, Stada and Teva and ordered those companies to recall any generic Eliquis product from the Dutch market. Trials regarding challenges brought by Sandoz and Teva, respectively, to the validity of the Dutch composition-of-matter patent and related SPC took place on October 13, 2023 and January 12, 2024. On October 30, 2024, the district court issued decisions confirming the validity of the Dutch composition-of-matter patent and SPC.
In Norway, a trial was held regarding Teva's challenge to the validity of the Norwegian composition-of-matter patent and related SPC, and a decision was issued on May 23, 2023, confirming their validity and rejecting Teva's claims. Teva appealed the decision, and on June 3, 2024, the Court of Appeal issued a decision confirming the validity of the patent and related SPC. Teva is seeking permission to appeal the decision from the Supreme Court of Norway.
In Portugal, there are patent validity and infringement proceedings pending with multiple companies seeking to market generic versions of Eliquis. A trial regarding Mylan's challenge to the validity of the Portuguese composition-of-matter patent concluded in the second quarter of 2024 and a decision is pending. In early September 2023, Teva launched a generic Eliquis product on the Portuguese market. On September 15, 2023, the Company filed a request for a preliminary injunction against Teva at the Portuguese Intellectual Property Court. The hearing of the preliminary injunction against Teva concluded in the second quarter of 2024 and a decision is pending.
In Romania, our request for a preliminary injunction against Teva was initially denied by the lower court. However, in January 2024, the Romania Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the lower court, and issued a preliminary injunction against Teva prohibiting Teva from offering, storing or selling generic Eliquis products in Romania.
In Spain, a trial regarding Teva's challenge to the validity of the Spanish composition-of-matter patent and related SPC was held on October 18-19, 2023, and in a decision delivered in January 2024, the Barcelona Commercial Court found the Spanish composition-of-matter patent and related SPC to be invalid. BMS appealed the decision of the Barcelona Commercial Court to the Barcelona Court of Appeal. In February 2024, the Madrid Commercial Court granted BMS’s preliminary injunctions against Teva, Sandoz and Normon pending determination of the appeal of the decision of the Barcelona Commercial Court. Teva sought an order from the Barcelona Commercial Court to effectively overturn the preliminary injunction. BMS then sought and was granted an order from the Madrid Commercial Court requiring Teva to comply with the preliminary injunction. The issue was referred to the Spanish Supreme Court, which on April 26, 2024 issued a judgment requiring the Madrid Commercial Court to lift the injunction in place against Teva. On July 16, 2024, the Madrid Commercial Court issued a decision maintaining the preliminary injunctions against Sandoz and Normon. In a decision dated July 18, 2024, the Barcelona Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the Barcelona Commercial Court and upheld the validity of the Spanish composition-of-matter patent and related SPC.
29
In Sweden, a trial was held regarding Teva's challenge to the validity of the Swedish composition-of-matter patent and related SPC, and a decision was issued on November 2, 2022, confirming their validity and rejecting Teva's claims. Teva appealed the decision, and the appeal was heard in May 2024. On June 20, 2024, the Court of Appeal issued a decision upholding the validity of the patent and related SPC.
In Switzerland, a trial was held regarding Teva's challenge to the validity of the Swiss composition-of-matter patent and related SPC, and a decision was issued on March 8, 2024, confirming their validity and rejecting Teva's claims. Teva appealed the decision, but on October 4, 2024, the Federal Supreme Court issued a decision upholding the validity of the patent and related SPC.
In the UK, Sandoz and Teva filed lawsuits seeking revocation of the UK composition-of-matter patent and related SPC. BMS subsequently filed counterclaims for infringement in both actions. A combined trial took place in February 2022, and in a judgment issued on April 7, 2022, the judge found the UK apixaban composition-of-matter patent and related SPC invalid. BMS appealed the judgment and on May 4, 2023, the Court of Appeal upheld the lower court's decision. On October 31, 2023, the UK Supreme Court rejected BMS's application to appeal. Following the first instance decision in the UK, generic manufacturers have begun marketing generic versions of Eliquis in the UK.
In Czechia, Teva filed an action seeking revocation of the Czech composition of matter patent and related SPC. On July 25, 2024, the Czech Intellectual Property Office issued a decision holding the patent and SPC to be valid. Teva has appealed this decision.
In Slovakia, Teva filed an action seeking revocation of the Slovak composition of matter patent and related SPC. On August 22, 2024, the Slovak Intellectual Property Office issued a decision holding the patent and SPC to be invalid. BMS intends to appeal the decision.
In addition to the above, challenges to the validity of the composition-of-matter patent and related SPC are pending in Denmark, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece and Lithuania.
Generic manufacturers may seek to market generic versions of Eliquis in additional countries in Europe prior to the expiration of our patents, which may lead to additional infringement and invalidity actions involving Eliquis patents being filed in various countries in Europe.
Plavix* - Australia
Sanofi was notified that, in August 2007, GenRx Proprietary Limited ("GenRx") obtained regulatory approval of an application for clopidogrel bisulfate 75mg tablets in Australia. GenRx, formerly a subsidiary of Apotex Inc., subsequently changed its name to Apotex ("GenRx-Apotex"). In August 2007, GenRx-Apotex filed an application in the Federal Court of Australia seeking revocation of Sanofi's Australian Patent No. 597784 (Case No. NSD 1639 of 2007). Sanofi filed counterclaims of infringement and sought an injunction. On September 21, 2007, the Federal Court of Australia granted Sanofi's injunction. A subsidiary of BMS was subsequently added as a party to the proceedings. In February 2008, a second company, Spirit Pharmaceuticals Pty. Ltd., also filed a revocation suit against the same patent. This case was consolidated with the GenRx-Apotex case. On August 12, 2008, the Federal Court of Australia held that claims of Patent No. 597784 covering clopidogrel bisulfate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and taurocholate salts were valid. The Federal Court also held that the process claims, pharmaceutical composition claims, and claim directed to clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts were invalid. BMS and Sanofi filed notices of appeal in the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia ("Full Court") appealing the holding of invalidity of the claim covering clopidogrel and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, process claims, and pharmaceutical composition claims. GenRx-Apotex appealed. On September 29, 2009, the Full Court held all of the claims of Patent No. 597784 invalid. In March 2010, the High Court of Australia denied a request by BMS and Sanofi to hear an appeal of the Full Court decision. The case was remanded to the Federal Court for further proceedings related to damages sought by GenRx-Apotex. BMS and GenRx-Apotex settled, and the GenRx-Apotex case was dismissed. The Australian government intervened in this matter seeking maximum damages up to 449 million AUD ($310 million), plus interest, which would be split between BMS and Sanofi, for alleged losses experienced for paying a higher price for branded Plavix* during the period when the injunction was in place. BMS and Sanofi dispute that the Australian government is entitled to any damages. A trial was concluded in September 2017. In April 2020, the Federal Court issued a decision dismissing the Australian government's claim for damages. In May 2020, the Australian government appealed the Federal Court's decision and an appeal hearing concluded in February 2021. On June 26, 2023, the appeal court issued a ruling in BMS and Sanofi's favor, upholding the lower court's decision. In December 2023, the Australian government was granted leave to appeal the decision to the High Court of Australia, and the High Court held an appeal hearing on September 4-5, 2024, and a decision is pending.
Zeposia - U.S.
On October 15, 2021, Actelion Pharmaceuticals LTD and Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, INC ("Actelion") filed a complaint for patent infringement in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey against BMS and Celgene for alleged infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,251,867 (the "'867 Patent"). The Complaint alleges that the sale of Zeposia infringes certain claims of the '867 Patent and Actelion is seeking damages. No trial date has been scheduled.
30
In May and June 2024, BMS received Notice Letters from Synthon BV ("Synthon") and Apotex Inc. ("Apotex"), respectively, each notifying BMS that it has filed an ANDA containing a paragraph IV certification seeking approval of a generic version of Zeposia in the U.S. and challenging a U.S. patent listed in the Orange Book for Zeposia. In response, BMS filed patent infringement actions against Synthon and Apotex in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. On August 14, 2024 and September 16, 2024, Synthon and Apotex answered their respective complaints. On September 23, 2024, the district court consolidated the Synthon and Apotex actions. No trial date has been scheduled.
PRICING, SALES AND PROMOTIONAL PRACTICES LITIGATION
Plavix* State Attorneys General Lawsuits
BMS and certain Sanofi entities are defendants in a consumer protection action brought by the attorney general of Hawaii relating to the labeling, sales and/or promotion of Plavix*. In February 2021, a Hawaii state court judge issued a decision against Sanofi and BMS, imposing penalties in the total amount of $834 million, with $417 million attributed to BMS. Sanofi and BMS appealed the decision. On March 15, 2023, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued its decision, reversing in part and affirming in part the trial court decision, vacating the penalty award and remanding the case for a new trial and penalty determination. A new bench trial concluded on October 16, 2023. On May 21, 2024, the trial court issued a new decision against Sanofi and BMS, imposing penalties in the total amount of $916 million, with $458 million attributed to BMS. Sanofi and BMS have appealed the decision.
PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION
BMS is a party to various product liability lawsuits. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss. As previously disclosed, in addition to lawsuits, BMS also faces unfiled claims involving its products.
Abilify*
BMS and Otsuka are co-defendants in product liability litigation related to Abilify*. Plaintiffs allege Abilify* caused them to engage in compulsive gambling and other impulse control disorders. Cases were filed in state and federal courts in the United States. Pursuant to a previously disclosed master settlement agreement and settlement related court orders, the vast majority of the cases in the United States were resolved or dismissed. Eleven inactive cases remain pending in state courts in New Jersey. There are also eleven cases pending in Canada (four class actions and seven individual injury claims), two of which are active (the certified class actions in Quebec and Ontario). A settlement in principle has recently been reached in the class actions, subject to Court approval.
SECURITIES LITIGATION
Celgene Securities Litigations
Beginning in March 2018, two putative class actions were filed against Celgene and certain of its officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey (the "Celgene Securities Class Action"). The complaints allege that the defendants violated federal securities laws by making misstatements and/or omissions concerning (1) trials of GED-0301, (2) Celgene's 2020 outlook and projected sales of Otezla*, and (3) the NDA for Zeposia. The Court consolidated the two actions and appointed a lead plaintiff, lead counsel, and co-liaison counsel for the putative class. In February 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs' amended complaint in full. In December 2019, the Court denied the motion to dismiss in part and granted the motion to dismiss in part (including all claims arising from alleged misstatements regarding GED-0301). Although the Court gave the plaintiff leave to re-plead the dismissed claims, it elected not to do so, and the dismissed claims are now dismissed with prejudice. In November 2020, the Court granted class certification with respect to the remaining claims. In March 2023, the Court granted the defendants leave to file a motion for summary judgment, the briefing for which was completed in June 2023. On September 8, 2023, the Court granted in part and denied in part defendants' motion for summary judgment as to the claims regarding statements made by the remaining officer defendants. As to the claims regarding Celgene’s corporate statements, the Court denied the defendants’ motion without prejudice and granted the defendants leave to re-raise the issue. On October 27, 2023, the defendants filed a motion for partial summary judgment as to Celgene’s corporate statements. On July 23, 2024, the Court granted the defendants’ motion as to individual liability for those corporate statements but reserved decision as to the company's liability, noting that another opinion would be forthcoming. On September 4, 2024, the Court granted in part, denied in part, and held in abeyance in part the defendants’ motion for summary judgment as to the Company’s liability for Celgene’s corporate statements and requested supplemental briefing as to the statements the Court did not rule on. Following supplemental briefing, the Court held a hearing on October 10, 2024, where it denied defendants' summary judgment motion as to the remaining statements at issue.
In April 2020, certain Schwab management investment companies on behalf of certain Schwab funds filed an individual action in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting largely the same allegations as the Celgene Securities Class Action against the same remaining defendants in that action (the "Schwab Action"). In July 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs' complaint in full. In March 2021, the Court granted in part and denied in part defendants' motion to dismiss consistent with its decision in the Celgene Securities Class Action.

The California Public Employees' Retirement System in April 2021 (the "CalPERS Action"); DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., on behalf of certain of its funds; and American Century Mutual Funds, Inc., on behalf of certain of its funds, in July 2021 (respectively, the "DFA Action" and the "American Century Action"), and GIC Private Limited in September 2021 (the "GIC Action"), filed separate individual actions in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting largely the same allegations as the Celgene Securities Class Action and the Schwab individual action against the same remaining defendants in those actions. In October 2021, these actions were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings with the Schwab Action. The Court also consolidated any future direct actions raising common questions of law and fact with the Schwab Action (the "Consolidated Schwab Action"). On October 2, 2023, defendants filed a motion for partial summary judgment in the Consolidated Schwab Action. The motion is fully briefed and currently pending before the Court.
No trial dates have been scheduled in any of the above Celgene Securities Litigations.
Contingent Value Rights Litigations
In June 2021, an action was filed against BMS in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting claims of alleged breaches of a Contingent Value Rights Agreement ("CVR Agreement") entered into in connection with the closing of BMS's acquisition of Celgene in November 2019. An entity claiming to be the successor trustee under the CVR Agreement alleged that BMS breached the CVR Agreement by allegedly failing to use "diligent efforts" to obtain FDA approval of liso-cel (Breyanzi) before a contractual milestone date, thereby allegedly avoiding a $6.4 billion potential obligation to holders of the contingent value rights governed by the CVR Agreement and by allegedly failing to permit inspection of records in response to a request by the alleged successor trustee. The plaintiff sought damages in an amount to be determined at trial and other relief, including interest and attorneys' fees. BMS disputes the allegations. BMS filed a motion to dismiss the alleged successor trustee's complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, which was denied on June 24, 2022. On February 2, 2024, BMS filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In an opinion and order entered on September 30, 2024, the court granted BMS’s motion and dismissed the lawsuit for lack of subject matter jurisdiction without prejudice to the refiling of a new lawsuit by a properly appointed trustee. The plaintiff has appealed this order.
In October 2021, alleged former Celgene stockholders filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting claims on behalf of a putative class of Celgene stockholders who received CVRs in the BMS merger with Celgene for violations of sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") relating to the joint proxy statement. That action later was consolidated with another action filed in the same court, and a consolidated complaint thereafter was filed asserting claims on behalf of a class of CVR acquirers, whether in the BMS merger with Celgene or otherwise, for violations of sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint alleged that the February 22, 2019 joint proxy statement was materially false or misleading because it failed to disclose that BMS allegedly had no intention to obtain FDA approval for liso-cel (Breyanzi) by the applicable milestone date in the CVR Agreement and that certain statements made by BMS or certain BMS officers in periodic SEC filings, earnings calls, press releases, and investor presentations between December 2019 and November 2020 were materially false or misleading for the same reason. Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint. On March 1, 2023, the Court entered an opinion and order granting defendants' motion and dismissed the complaint in its entirety. The claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act and Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act were dismissed with prejudice. The claims under Sections 10(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act were dismissed with leave to file a further amended complaint, which plaintiffs filed on April 14, 2023. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint and briefing on the motion was completed on June 23, 2023. In an opinion and order entered on February 29, 2024, the Court granted that motion in its entirety and dismissed the remaining claims with prejudice. On March 28, 2024, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal. Briefing has been completed in the appeal, which is pending in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Oral argument took place on October 25, 2024.
In November 2021, an alleged purchaser of CVRs filed a complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for New York County asserting claims on behalf of a putative class of CVR acquirers for violations of sections 11(a) and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint alleged that the registration statement filed in connection with the proposed merger transaction between Celgene and BMS was materially false or misleading because it failed to disclose that allegedly BMS had no intention at the time to obtain FDA approval for liso-cel (Breyanzi) by the contractual milestone date. The complaint asserted claims against BMS, the members of its board of directors at the time of the joint proxy statement, and certain BMS officers who signed the registration statement. Defendants moved to stay the action pending resolution of the federal action or, in the alternative, to dismiss the complaint and later filed a similar motion in response to an amended complaint. On February 2, 2024, the Court granted defendants’ motion and dismissed the case in its entirety. On February 29, 2024, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. The plaintiff’s appeal was not perfected before the deadline for doing so under applicable court rules, and therefore, the appeal is deemed to be dismissed under those rules.
32
In November 2021, an alleged Celgene stockholder filed a complaint in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Union County asserting claims on behalf of two separate putative classes, one of acquirers of CVRs and one of acquirers of BMS common stock, for violations of sections 11(a), 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act. The complaint alleges that the registration statement filed in connection with the proposed merger transaction between Celgene and BMS was materially false or misleading because it failed to disclose that allegedly BMS had no intention at the time to obtain FDA approval for liso-cel (Breyanzi) by the contractual milestone date. The complaint asserts claims against BMS, the members of its board of directors at the time of the joint proxy statement, certain BMS officers who signed the registration statement and Celgene's former chairman and chief executive officer. The Court had temporarily stayed the action pending resolution of the federal action, but lifted the stay on March 21, 2024, following the dismissal of the federal action. On April 4, 2024, defendants moved to dismiss the New Jersey complaint. On June 25, 2024, the Court granted defendants' motion and dismissed the complaint in its entirety without prejudice. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on August 15, 2024. On September 30, 2024, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.
No trial dates have been scheduled in any of the above CVR Litigations.
OTHER LITIGATION
IRA Litigation
On June 16, 2023, BMS filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, et al., challenging the constitutionality of the drug-pricing program in the IRA. That program requires pharmaceutical companies, like BMS, under the threat of significant penalties, to sell certain of their medicines at government-dictated prices. On August 29, 2023, the government selected Eliquis for this program. In its lawsuit, BMS argues that this program violates the Fifth Amendment, which requires the government to pay just compensation if it takes property for public use, by requiring pharmaceutical manufacturers to provide medicines to third parties at prices set by the government that necessarily fall below fair market value. BMS also argues that this program violates the First Amendment right to free speech by requiring manufacturers to state that they agree that the price set by the government is the medicine's "maximum fair price" as determined by negotiation, even though there is no true negotiation. On August 16, 2023, BMS filed a motion for summary judgment. On October 16, 2023, the government filed an opposition to BMS’s motion for summary judgment and a cross-motion for summary judgment. The court heard oral argument on the parties' summary judgment motions on March 7, 2024. On April 29, 2024, the court issued an opinion and order that denied BMS's motion for summary judgment and granted the government's cross-motion for summary judgment. BMS appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Oral argument in the Third Circuit took place on October 30, 2024.
Thalomid and Revlimid Litigations
Beginning in November 2014, certain putative class action lawsuits were filed against Celgene in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that Celgene violated various antitrust, consumer protection, and unfair competition laws by (a) allegedly securing an exclusive supply contract for the alleged purpose of preventing a generic manufacturer from securing its own supply of thalidomide active pharmaceutical ingredient, (b) allegedly refusing to sell samples of Thalomid and Revlimid brand drugs to various generic manufacturers for the alleged purpose of bioequivalence testing necessary for ANDAs to be submitted to the FDA for approval to market generic versions of these products, (c) allegedly bringing unjustified patent infringement lawsuits in order to allegedly delay approval for proposed generic versions of Thalomid and Revlimid, and/or (d) allegedly entering into settlements of patent infringement lawsuits with certain generic manufacturers that allegedly have had anticompetitive effects. The plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and putative classes of third-party payers, sought injunctive relief and damages. The various lawsuits were consolidated into a master action for all purposes. In March 2020, Celgene reached a settlement with the class plaintiffs. In October 2020, the Court entered a final order approving the settlement and dismissed the matter. That settlement did not resolve certain claims of certain entities that opted out of the settlement, and who have since filed new suits advancing related theories. As described below, certain other consolidated or coordinated suits are pending.
In March 2019, Humana Inc. ("Humana"), which opted out of the above settlement, filed a lawsuit against Celgene in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Humana's complaint makes largely the same claims and allegations as were made in the now settled Thalomid and Revlimid antitrust class action litigation. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of Humana and its subsidiaries in several capacities, including as a direct purchaser and as an indirect purchaser, and seeks, among other things, treble and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees and costs. In May 2019, Celgene filed a motion to dismiss Humana's complaint. In April 2022, the Court issued an order denying Celgene's motion to dismiss. That order addressed only Celgene's argument that certain of Humana's claims were barred by the statute of limitations. The Court's order did not address Celgene's other grounds for dismissal and instead directed Celgene to present those arguments in a renewed motion to dismiss following the filing of amended complaints. In May 2022, Humana filed an amended complaint against Celgene and BMS asserting the same claims based on additional factual allegations. Celgene and BMS subsequently filed a motion to dismiss Humana's amended complaint. On August 18, and September 8, 2023, the Court held argument on Celgene and BMS' motion. On June 6, 2024, the Court granted Celgene and BMS's motion to dismiss in its entirety. The Court granted Humana and the other plaintiffs referenced immediately below (other than United HealthCare Services Inc. ("UHS"), which had previously amended) leave to amend their complaints. These plaintiffs filed amended complaints on August 5, 2024.
33
UHS, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association ("BCBSM"), BCBSM Inc., Health Care Service Corporation ("HCSC"), Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida Inc., Cigna Corporation ("Cigna"), Molina Healthcare, Inc. ("Molina") and several MSP related entities (MSP Recovery Claims, Series LLC; MSPA Claims 1, LLC; MAO-MSO Recovery II, LLC, Series PMPI, a segregated series of MAO-MSO Recovery II, LLC; MSP Recovery Claims Series 44, LLC; MSP Recovery Claims PROV, Series LLC; and MSP Recovery Claims CAID, Series LLC (together, "MSP")) filed lawsuits between 2020 and 2022 making largely the same claims and allegations as were made in the now-settled class action litigation and in the Humana opt-out action. The UHS and MSP matters include additional claims related to copay assistance for Thalomid and Revlimid. These cases are now pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. BCBSM has voluntarily dismissed its claims. The Court's order granting Celgene and BMS's motion to dismiss in the Humana action dismissed the complaints filed by these plaintiffs as well (except as to UHS, which has already been amended). The Court granted these plaintiffs leave to amend all dismissed claims, with the exception of MSP's claims under RICO, which were dismissed with prejudice. These plaintiffs filed amended complaints on August 5, 2024.
In May 2021, Molina sued Celgene and BMS in San Francisco Superior Court. Molina's complaint makes largely the same claims and allegations as were made in the now settled class action litigation. In June 2022, the San Francisco Superior Court dismissed 63 of Molina’s claims, which Molina later reasserted in the District of New Jersey as described above, and stayed the remaining 4 claims. No activity is expected in this case until disposition of the New Jersey actions.
Certain other entities that opted out of the now‑settled class action have also filed summonses related to two actions in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas in connection with the allegations made by Humana and other opt‑out entities. Those actions have been placed in deferred status pending further developments in the above opt‑out cases.
In November 2022, certain specialty pharmacies filed an action as direct purchasers against Celgene, BMS, and certain generic manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The action makes largely the same claims and allegations against Celgene and BMS as were made with respect to Revlimid in the now settled class action litigation, and seeks injunctive relief and damages under the Sherman Antitrust Act. Also in November 2022, a putative class of end-payor plaintiffs filed an action against Celgene, BMS, and certain generic manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The class complaint brings claims based on Celgene's allegedly anticompetitive settlements of Revlimid patent litigation, seeking damages under state antitrust and consumer protection laws and injunctive relief under federal antitrust law. Celgene, BMS and the generic defendants have filed consolidated motions to dismiss these two actions. The motions were fully briefed in May 2023 and administratively terminated in November 2023 pending a ruling on Celgene and BMS's motion to dismiss the Humana amended complaint. In view of the Court's dismissal decision in the Humana action described above, these plaintiffs filed amended complaints on August 5, 2024.
In October and November 2023, three healthcare systems—the Mayo Clinic, LifePoint Corporate Services, G.P. and Intermountain Health, Inc.—filed two new lawsuits against Celgene, BMS and certain generic manufacturers making largely the same claims and allegations against Celgene and BMS as were made with respect to Revlimid in the now-settled class action litigation, and seeking injunctive relief and damages under the Sherman Antitrust Act and parallel state laws. In view of the Court's dismissal decision in the Humana action described above, these plaintiffs filed amended complaints on August 5, 2024. Those actions are pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
No trial dates have been scheduled in any of the above Thalomid and Revlimid Litigations.
Pomalyst Antitrust Class Action
In September 2023, certain health plan entities filed an action on behalf of a putative class of end-payor plaintiffs against Celgene, BMS, and certain generic pharmaceutical manufacturers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The class complaint asserts claims under federal antitrust law and state antitrust, consumer protection, and unjust enrichment laws based on allegations that Celgene and BMS engaged in anticompetitive conduct related to pomalidomide in the U.S., including by allegedly engaging in fraud before the USPTO in the acquisition of patents related to the use of pomalidomide, by filing alleged sham patent litigations against generic pharmaceutical companies seeking to market generic pomalidomide, and by entering into allegedly unlawful patent litigation settlements with certain generic pharmaceutical companies seeking to market generic pomalidomide. In December 2023, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that added one individual Pomalyst patient as a plaintiff, removed the generic manufacturer defendants, and added two individuals as defendants. In March 2024, one new plaintiff filed a substantially similar complaint, on behalf of the same putative class and in the same court, which was subsequently consolidated with the first action. In March 2024, BMS and its co-defendants filed motions to dismiss these actions. In September 2024, an additional plaintiff (seeking to proceed solely as a direct purchaser under the federal antitrust laws) filed a separate, substantially similar complaint. No trial dates have been scheduled.
34
GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATIONS
Like other pharmaceutical companies, BMS and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulation by national, state and local authorities in the U.S. and other countries in which BMS operates. As a result, BMS, from time to time, is subject to various governmental and regulatory inquiries and investigations as well as threatened legal actions and proceedings. It is possible that criminal charges, substantial fines and/or civil penalties, could result from government or regulatory investigations.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEEDINGS
As previously reported, BMS is a party to several environmental proceedings and other matters, and is responsible under various state, federal and foreign laws, including CERCLA, for certain costs of investigating and/or remediating contamination resulting from past industrial activity at BMS's current or former sites or at waste disposal or reprocessing facilities operated by third parties.
CERCLA and Other Remediation Matters
With respect to CERCLA and other remediation matters for which BMS is responsible under various state, federal and international laws, BMS typically estimates potential costs based on information obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or counterpart state or foreign agency and/or studies prepared by independent consultants, including the total estimated costs for the site and the expected cost-sharing, if any, with other "potentially responsible parties," and BMS accrues liabilities when they are probable and reasonably estimable. BMS estimated its share of future costs for these sites to be $78 million as of September 30, 2024, which represents the sum of best estimates or, where no best estimate can reasonably be made, estimates of the minimal probable amount among a range of such costs (without taking into account any potential recoveries from other parties). The amount includes the estimated costs for any additional probable loss associated with the previously disclosed North Brunswick Township High School Remediation Site.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to enhance the understanding of our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Our principal strategy is to combine the resources, scale and capability of a large pharmaceutical company with the speed, agility and focus on innovation typically found in the biotech industry. Our priorities are to (i) focus on transformational medicines where we have a competitive advantage (ii) drive operational excellence and (iii) strategically allocate capital for long-term growth and returns. Our mission is to discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines that help patients prevail over serious diseases in the following core therapeutic areas: oncology and hematology with novel modalities in cell therapies, protein degraders, ADCs and radiopharmaceuticals; immunology with a focus on establishing new standards of care in pulmonology, rapidly advancing cell therapy into immunology diseases and transformational programs to control inflammation, reset immune memory and promote homeostasis in dermatology, rheumatology and gastrointestinal disorders; cardiovascular diseases by leveraging deep expertise across thrombotic diseases, heart failures and cardiomyopathies; and neuroscience with a focus on developing new treatments in neuropsychiatry and neurodegeneration. We are working on accelerating our drug development and delivery of our innovative medicines to patients, enhancing our commercial operating model, as well as enhancing flexibility and reliability of our manufacturing network. We remain committed to strategic business development, maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating, the dividend and reducing debt. For further information on our strategy, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Executive Summary—Strategy" in our 2023 Form 10-K. Refer to the Summary of Abbreviated Terms at the end of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the document.
In September 2024, we received FDA approval for Cobenfy (xanomeline and trospium chloride), formerly known as KarXT, for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults, re-establishing our presence in neuroscience. Cobenfy represents the first new pharmacological approach to treat schizophrenia in decades, with a mechanism of action distinct from current therapies. Registrational studies are planned for Cobenfy in Adjunctive Schizophrenia, Alzheimer's Psychosis, Alzheimer's Agitation, Alzheimer's Cognition, Bipolar I Disorder and autism spectrum disorder irritability. In addition, year-to-date, we have achieved significant advances in CAR-T cell therapy with the approval of Breyanzi in the U.S. and Japan for adults with relapsed or refractory FL and in the U.S. for adults with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL and MCL; and Abecma in the U.S. and EU for triple-class exposed relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma after two or more prior lines of therapy. Furthermore, Reblozyl received expanded approval to include the first-line treatment of adult patients with transfusion-dependent anemia due to very low, low and intermediate-risk MDS in the EU and Japan. In oncology, we continue making advancements with (i) FDA approval of Opdivo for the treatment of adult patients with resectable NSCLC, in combination with platinum-doublet chemotherapy, followed by single-agent Opdivo as adjuvant treatment after surgery; (ii) accelerated approval in the U.S. of Krazati in combination with cetuximab, for the treatment of adult patients with KRASG12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer; (iii) approval in the U.S. of Augtyro for the treatment of patients with NTRK-positive locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors; (iv) approval in Japan of Augtyro for the treatment of patients with ROS1 fusion-positive, unresectable advanced or recurrent NSCLC; and (v) both in the U.S. and EU, approval of Opdivo in combination with cisplatin and gemcitabine for first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable or metastatic muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma. Refer to "—Product and Pipeline Developments" for additional updates on our pipeline.
Additionally, we completed the following acquisitions in 2024: (i) Karuna, a biopharmaceutical company in the area of developing and delivering medicines, including Cobenfy, for psychiatric and neurological conditions; (ii) RayzeBio, a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical therapeutics company with a pipeline of potentially first-in-class and best-in-class drug development programs; and (iii) Mirati, a commercial stage targeted oncology company, with a commercialized medicine, Krazati, in addition to a pipeline of clinical and pre-clinical stage oncology assets. BMS also entered into a strategic collaboration with SystImmune, to co-develop and co-commercialize BL-B01D1, a bispecific topoisomerase inhibitor-based anti-body drug conjugate, which is currently being evaluated in a Phase I clinical trial for metastatic or unresectable NSCLC and is also in development for breast cancer and other tumor types. We also entered into a worldwide capacity reservation and supply agreement with Cellares for the manufacturing of CAR-T cell therapies. This agreement is expected to enable us to expand our manufacturing capacity through a platform that is scalable and has the potential to improve turnaround time. For additional information relating to our acquisitions, divestitures, licensing and other arrangements refer to "Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 3. Alliances" and "Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 4. Acquisitions, Divestitures, Licensing and Other Arrangements".
36
We remain committed to the strategic allocation of resources and investing in areas that maximize value and drive sustainable growth. We continue to execute a strategic productivity initiative that will drive approximately $1.5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of 2025, the majority of which are expected to be reinvested to fund innovation and drive growth. As a result, we are focusing resources on R&D programs with the potential to deliver the greatest return on investment, prioritizing investments in key growth brands, and optimizing operations across the organization. The exit costs resulting from these actions are included in our updated 2023 Restructuring Plan.

Revenues increased by 8% during the third quarter of 2024 and 7% year-to-date due to the Growth Portfolio and Eliquis, partially offset by Sprycel due to generic erosion. Year-to-date was also partially offset by Revlimid.
The $0.33 decrease in GAAP EPS and the $0.20 decrease in non-GAAP EPS for the third quarter of 2024 were primarily driven by higher interest expense and a lower effective income tax rate in 2023, partially offset by higher revenues.
The $7.44 decrease in GAAP EPS year-to-date was primarily driven by higher one-time Acquired IPRD charges primarily from the Karuna asset acquisition and SystImmune collaboration ($6.28) and the impact of certain specified items, including intangible asset impairments, as well as the cash settlement of unvested stock awards, partially offset by higher revenues. After adjusting for specified items, the $6.33 decrease in non-GAAP EPS year-to-date was primarily due to the aforementioned Acquired IPRD charges, partially offset by higher revenues.
Our non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information, are adjusted to exclude specified items that represent certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other items impacting the comparability of financial results. For further information and reconciliations relating to our non-GAAP financial measures refer to "—Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Economic and Market Factors
Governmental Actions
As regulators continue to focus on prescription drugs, our products are facing increased pressures across the portfolio. These pressures stem from legislative and policy changes, including price controls, pharmaceutical market access, discounting, changes to tax and importation laws and other restrictions in the U.S., EU and other regions around the world. These pressures have resulted in lower prices, lower reimbursement rates and smaller populations for whom payers will reimburse, which can negatively impact our results of operations (including intangible asset impairment charges), operating cash flow, liquidity and financial flexibility. The IRA directs (i) the federal government to “negotiate” prices for select high-cost Medicare Part D (beginning in 2026) and Part B (beginning in 2028) drugs that are more than nine years (for small-molecule drugs) or 13 years (for biological products) from their FDA approval, (ii) manufacturers to pay a rebate for Medicare Part B and Part D drugs when prices increase faster than inflation and (iii) Medicare Part D redesign replacing the current Part D CGDP and establishes a $2,000 cap for out-of-pocket costs for Medicare beneficiaries beginning in 2025, with manufacturers being responsible for 10% of costs up to the $2,000 cap and 20% after that cap is reached. In August 2024, as part of the first round of government price setting pursuant to the IRA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the "maximum fair price" for a 30-day equivalent supply of Eliquis, which applies to the U.S. Medicare channel effective January 1, 2026. It is possible that more of our products could be selected in future years, which could, among other things, accelerate revenue erosion prior to expiry of intellectual property protections. We continue to evaluate the impact of the IRA on our results of operations and it is possible that these changes may result in a material impact on our business and results of operations.
In addition, in December 2023, the Biden Administration released a proposed framework that for the first time proposed that a drug’s price can be a factor in determining that the drug is not accessible to the public and therefore that the government could exercise “march-in rights” and license it to a third party to manufacture. We cannot predict whether the Biden Administration will finalize the Draft Interagency Guidance Framework for Considering the Exercise of March-In Rights or if the government will propose other drug pricing policy changes. If pursued and finalized, these policies could reduce prices and reimbursement for certain of our products and could significantly impact our business and consolidated results of operations.
37
At the state level, multiple states have passed, are pursuing or are considering government action via legislation or regulations to change drug pricing and reimbursement (e.g., establishing prescription drug affordability boards, implementing manufacturer mandates tied to the Federal Public Health Service Act drug pricing program, etc.). Some of these state-level actions may also influence federal and other state policies and legislation. Given the current uncertainty surrounding the adoption, timing and implementation of many of these measures, as well as pending litigation challenging such laws, we are unable to predict their full impact on our business. However, such measures could modify or decrease access, coverage, or reimbursement of our products, or result in significant changes to our sales or pricing practices, which could have a material impact on our revenues and results of operations. With respect to the Federal Public Health Service Act drug pricing program, eight states have enacted laws regulating manufacturer pricing obligations under the program to date. Several additional states are considering similar potential legislation or other government actions, and we expect other states may do the same in the future.
Additionally, in connection with the IRA, the following changes have been made to U.S. tax laws, including (i) a 15% minimum tax that generally applies to U.S. corporations on adjusted financial statement income beginning in 2023 and (ii) a non-deductible 1% excise tax provision on net stock repurchases, to be applied to repurchases beginning in 2023. Furthermore, countries are in the process of enacting changes to their tax laws to implement the agreement by the OECD to establish a global minimum tax. See risk factors on these items included under "Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Product, Industry and Operational Risks—Increased pricing pressure and other restrictions in the U.S. and abroad continue to negatively affect our revenues and profit margins" and "—Changes to tax regulations could negatively impact our earnings" in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Significant Product and Pipeline Approvals
The following is a summary of the significant approvals received in 2024 as of October 31, 2024:

(a) Other revenues include royalties and alliance-related revenues for products not sold by our regional commercial organizations.
(b) Foreign exchange impacts were derived by applying the prior period average currency rates to the current period sales.
United States
•U.S. revenues increased 9% during the third quarter of 2024 and year-to-date primarily due to higher demand for the Growth Portfolio and higher demand for Eliquis, partially offset by Sprycel due to generic erosion. Average U.S. net selling prices decreased 1% year-to-date compared to the same period a year ago.
International
•International revenues increased 5% and 1% during the third quarter of 2024 and year-to-date, respectively, driven by higher demand for the Growth Portfolio, partially offset by lower demand for the Legacy Portfolio and foreign exchange impacts. The negative foreign exchange impacts of 4% and 5% during the third quarter and year-to-date, respectively, were primarily attributed to devaluation of the Argentine peso, which was mostly offset by inflation-related local currency price increases.
Beginning in 2024, Puerto Rico revenues are presented as part of International revenues to align with management's review of the Company's financial results. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to the current presentation. No single country outside the U.S. contributed more than 10% of total revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Our business is typically not seasonal.

Revlimid as a single agent is also indicated as a maintenance therapy in patients with multiple myeloma following autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Revlimid has received approvals for several indications in the hematological malignancies including lymphoma and MDS.
•U.S. revenues were flat during the third quarter of 2024 and decreased 3% year-to-date primarily due to generic erosion and lower average net selling prices, partially offset by the prior year impact of patients receiving free drug product from the Bristol Myers Squibb Patient Assistance Foundation, a separate and independent 501(c)(3) entity to which BMS donates products.
•International revenues decreased 9% during third quarter of 2024 and 13% year-to-date primarily due to generic erosion across several European countries and foreign exchange impacts of 3% and 4%, respectively. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenues decreased by 6% and 9%, respectively.
•In the U.S., certain third parties were granted volume-limited licenses to sell generic lenalidomide beginning in March 2022 or thereafter. Pursuant to these licenses, several generics have entered or are expected to enter the U.S. market with volume-limited quantities of generic lenalidomide. In the EU and Japan, generic lenalidomide products have entered the market.
Pomalyst/Imnovid (pomalidomide) — a proprietary, distinct, small molecule that is administered orally and modulates the immune system and other biologically important targets. Pomalyst/Imnovid is indicated for patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least two prior therapies including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor and have demonstrated disease progression on or within 60 days of completion of the last therapy.
•U.S. revenues increased 15% during the third quarter of 2024 and 17% year-to-date due to higher demand and the prior year impact of patients receiving free drug product from the Bristol Myers Squibb Patient Assistance Foundation, a separate and independent 501(c)(3) entity to which BMS donates products.
•International revenues decreased 24% during the third quarter of 2024 and 15% year-to-date primarily due to generic erosion and year-to-date foreign exchange impact of 1%. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenues decreased by 24% and 14%, respectively.

•U.S. revenues decreased 44% during the third quarter of 2024 primarily due to lower average net selling price and generic erosion.
•U.S. revenues decreased 16% year-to-date primarily due to lower average net selling price and generic erosion, partially offset by higher demand during the first half of the year.
•International revenues decreased 45% during the third quarter of 2024 and 39% year-to-date primarily due to generic erosion, lower average net selling prices and foreign exchange impacts of 3% and 4%, respectively.

Estimated End-User Demand
Pursuant to the SEC Consent Order described under "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation— SEC Consent Order" in our 2023 Form 10-K, we monitor inventory levels on hand in the U.S. wholesaler distribution channel and outside of the U.S. in the direct customer distribution channel. We disclose products with levels of inventory in excess of one month on hand or expected demand, subject to certain limited exceptions. There were none as of September 30, 2024, for our U.S. distribution channels, and as of June 30, 2024, for our non-U.S. distribution channels.
In the U.S., we generally determine our months on hand estimates using inventory levels of product on hand and the amount of out-movement provided by our three largest wholesalers, which accounted for approximately 85% of total gross sales of U.S. products during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Factors that may influence our estimates include generic erosion, seasonality of products, wholesaler purchases in light of increases in wholesaler list prices, new product launches, new warehouse openings by wholesalers and new customer stockings by wholesalers. In addition, these estimates are calculated using third-party data, which may be impacted by their recordkeeping processes.
Camzyos is only available through a restricted program called the Camzyos REMS Program. Product distribution is limited to REMS certified pharmacies, and enrolled pharmacies must only dispense to patients who are authorized to receive Camzyos. Revlimid and Pomalyst are distributed in the U.S. primarily through contracted pharmacies under the Lenalidomide REMS (Revlimid) and Pomalyst REMS programs, respectively. These are proprietary risk-management distribution programs tailored specifically to provide for the safe and appropriate distribution and use of Revlimid and Pomalyst. Internationally, Revlimid and Imnovid are distributed under mandatory risk-management distribution programs tailored to meet local authorities' specifications to provide for the products' safe and appropriate distribution and use. These programs may vary by country and, depending upon the country and the design of the risk-management program, the product may be sold through hospitals or retail pharmacies.
Our non-U.S. businesses have significantly more direct customers. Information on available direct customer product level inventory and corresponding out-movement information and the reliability of third-party demand information varies widely. We limit our direct customer sales channel inventory reporting to where we can influence demand. When this information does not exist or is otherwise not available, we have developed a variety of methodologies to estimate such data, including using historical sales made to direct customers and third-party market research data related to prescription trends and end-user demand. Given the difficulties inherent in estimating third-party demand information, we evaluate our methodologies to estimate direct customer product level inventory and to calculate months on hand on an ongoing basis and make changes as necessary. Factors that may affect our estimates include generic competition, seasonality of products, price increases, new product launches, new warehouse openings by direct customers, new customer stockings by direct customers and expected direct customer purchases for governmental bidding situations. As such, all of the information required to estimate months on hand in the direct customer distribution channel for non-U.S. business during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is not available prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We will disclose any product with levels of inventory in excess of one month on hand or expected demand for the current quarter, subject to certain limited exceptions, in our Annual report on Form 10-K.

Income Taxes

Earnings/(Loss) before income taxes | $ | 1,676 | $ | 2,137 | $ | (8,554) | $ | 6,766 | |||||||||||||||
Income tax provision | 461 | 203 | 455 | 488 | |||||||||||||||||||
| Effective tax rate | 27.5 | % | 9.5 | % | (5.3) | % | 7.2 | % | |||||||||||||||

| Effective tax rate excluding specified items | 18.5 | % | 11.6 | % | 188.4 | % | 14.7 | % | |||||||||||||||
Provision for income taxes in interim periods is determined based on the estimated annual effective tax rates and the tax impact of discrete items that are reflected immediately. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was primarily impacted by changes in previously estimated annual effective tax rates resulting from jurisdictional earnings mix. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 was primarily impacted by revised guidance regarding deductibility of certain research and development expenses which reduced income taxes by approximately $160 million and was the primary reason for a $240 million reduction to previously estimated income taxes for 2022 upon finalization of the U.S. federal income tax return.
Excluding the impact of specified items, the effective tax rate increased from 11.6% to 18.5% in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to the aforementioned jurisdictional earnings mix and revised guidance regarding deductibility of certain research and development expenses.
The year-to-date 2024 effective tax rate was primarily impacted by a $12.1 billion one-time, non-tax deductible charge for the acquisition of Karuna and releases of income tax reserves of $644 million related to the resolution of Celgene's 2017-2019 IRS audit. The Karuna non-tax deductible charge affected the effective tax rate as well as the effective tax rate excluding specified items. In addition, the effective tax rate was impacted by jurisdictional earnings mix resulting from amortization of acquired intangible assets, foreign currency changes on certain net operating loss and other carryforwards in 2024, and other specified items.
The year-to-date 2023 effective tax rate was primarily impacted by a $656 million deferred income tax benefit following the receipt of a non-U.S. tax ruling regarding the deductibility of a statutory impairment of subsidiary investments, jurisdictional earnings mix resulting from amortization of acquired intangible assets, equity investment losses, litigation and other settlements, as well as releases of income tax reserves of $89 million related to the resolution of Celgene's 2009-2011 IRS audit.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our non-GAAP financial measures, such as non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information, are adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that are evaluated on an individual basis. These items are adjusted after considering their quantitative and qualitative aspects and typically have one or more of the following characteristics, such as being highly variable, difficult to project, unusual in nature, significant to the results of a particular period or not indicative of past or future operating results. These items are excluded from non-GAAP earnings and related EPS information because the Company believes they neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business performance. Similar charges or gains were recognized in prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods, including (i) amortization of acquired intangible assets, including product rights that generate a significant portion of our ongoing revenue and will recur until the intangible assets are fully amortized, (ii) unwinding of inventory purchase price adjustments, (iii) acquisition and integration expenses, (iv) restructuring costs, (v) accelerated depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, (vi) costs of acquiring a priority review voucher, (vii) divestiture gains or losses, (viii) stock compensation resulting from acquisition-related equity awards, (ix) pension, legal and other contractual settlement charges, (x) equity investment and contingent value rights fair value adjustments (including fair value adjustments attributed to limited partnership equity method investments), (xi) income resulting from the change in control of the Nimbus TYK2 Program and (xii) amortization of fair value adjustments of debt acquired from Celgene in our 2019 exchange offer, among other items. Deferred and current income taxes attributed to these items are also adjusted for considering their individual impact to the overall tax expense, deductibility and jurisdictional tax rates. Certain other significant tax items are also excluded such as the impact resulting from a non-U.S. tax ruling regarding the deductibility of a statutory impairment of subsidiary investments and release of income tax reserves relating to the Celgene acquisition. We also provide international revenues for our priority products excluding the impact of foreign exchange. We calculate foreign exchange impacts by converting our current-period local currency financial results using the prior period average currency rates and comparing these adjusted amounts to our current-period results. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 8-K filed on October 31, 2024 and are incorporated herein by reference.

This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted.

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, together with our ability to generate cash from operations and our access to short-term and long-term borrowings, are sufficient to satisfy our existing and anticipated cash needs, including dividends, capital expenditures, milestone payments, working capital, income taxes, restructuring initiatives, business development, business combinations, asset acquisitions, repurchase of common stock, debt maturities, as well as any debt repurchases through redemptions or tender offers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our net debt position increased by $14.2 billion primarily driven by payments for acquisitions, collaborations and milestones of $21.8 billion and $3.6 billion of dividend payments, partially offset by cash provided by operations of $10.8 billion.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we issued the 2024 Senior Unsecured Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $13.0 billion with proceeds, net of discount and loan issuance costs, of $12.9 billion. The proceeds from the 2024 Senior Unsecured Notes were used to partially fund the acquisitions of RayzeBio and Karuna, and the remaining net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes. In connection with the issuance of the 2024 Senior Unsecured Notes, we terminated the $10.0 billion 364-day senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility entered in February 2024 to provide bridge financing for the RayzeBio and Karuna acquisitions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $2.5 billion 2.900% Notes and $395 million 3.625% Notes matured and were repaid.
Under our commercial paper program, we may issue a maximum of $7.0 billion of unsecured notes that have maturities of not more than 365 days from the date of issuance. During the first quarter of 2024, we issued $3.0 billion of commercial paper and such amount was fully repaid by the end of the third quarter of 2024.
There were no borrowings outstanding under our $5.0 billion revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. This credit facility expires in January 2029 and is extendable annually by one year with the consent of the lenders. Additionally, in February 2024, we entered into a $2.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility, under which no borrowings were outstanding as of September 30, 2024. The facilities provide for customary terms and conditions with no financial covenants and may be used to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings.
Dividend payments were $3.6 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decision to authorize dividends is made on a quarterly basis by our Board of Directors.
Annual capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $1.3 billion for the full year 2024. We continue to make capital expenditures in connection with the expansion of our manufacturing capabilities, research and development and other facility-related activities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, income tax payments were $3.1 billion and $4.1 billion, including $799 million and $567 million, respectively, for the transition tax following the TCJA enactment.

Operating Activities
The $1.1 billion increase in cash provided by operating activities compared to 2023, was primarily due to higher customer collections, net of rebates and discounts and alliance payments ($2.6 billion) and lower income tax payments ($1.0 billion), partially offset by acquisition-related expenses, including cash settlement of unvested stock awards ($1.0 billion), and higher interest payments on debt ($500 million), as well as timing of payments in the ordinary course of business.
Investing Activities
The $20.2 billion increase in cash used in investing activities compared to 2023 was due to higher acquisition-related expenses of $21.2 billion, as well as collaboration and milestone payments, partially offset by changes in the amount of marketable debt securities held of $1.0 billion.
Financing Activities
The $17.2 billion change in cash provided by financing activities compared to 2023 was primarily due to net debt borrowings of $10.5 billion in 2024 primarily to fund our acquisitions compared to $5.2 billion repurchases of common stock and net debt repayments of $1.6 billion in 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Our critical accounting policies are those that significantly impact our financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of this uncertainty, actual results may vary from these estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to "Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For information regarding the impact of recently adopted accounting standards, refer to "Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Standards."
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (including documents incorporated by reference) and other written and oral statements we make from time to time contain certain "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as "should," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "target," "may," "project," "guidance," "intend," "plan," "believe," "will" and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. One can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and projections about our future financial results, goals, plans and objectives and involve inherent risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years, and could cause our future financial results, goals, plans and objectives to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the statements. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, our goals, plans and objectives regarding our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, market position, product development, product approvals, sales efforts, expenses, performance or results of current and anticipated products, our business development strategy and in relation to our ability to realize the projected benefits of our acquisitions, alliances and other business development activities, the impact of any pandemic or epidemic on our operations and the development and commercialization of our products, potential laws and regulations to lower drug prices, market actions taken by private and government payers to manage drug utilization and contain costs, the expiration of patents or data protection on certain products, including assumptions about our ability to retain marketing exclusivity of certain products and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our 2023 Form 10-K, particularly under the section "Item 1A. Risk Factors," and our other filings with the SEC, include additional information on the factors that we believe could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.
Although we believe that we have been prudent in our plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. Additional risks that we may currently deem immaterial or that are not presently known to us could also cause the forward-looking events discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q not to occur. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of our market risk, refer to "Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in our 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our market risk during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of September 30, 2024, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
