*Refer to table on page 7.
In the third quarter of 2024, total worldwide sales were $16.7 billion, an increase of 4% compared with the third quarter of 2023; excluding the impact of foreign exchange, growth was 7%. Sales growth in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to increased usage of KEYTRUDA globally, contributions from new launches, including WINREVAIR and CAPVAXIVE, and strong growth in Merck’s Animal Health business. Revenue growth in the third quarter of 2024 was partially offset by lower sales of JANUVIA and JANUMET, lower combined sales of GARDASIL/GARDASIL 9 and lower sales of LAGEVRIO. Third-quarter GARDASIL/GARDASIL 9 sales declined year-over-year due to reduced demand in China; outside of China, the company achieved double-digit sales growth for GARDASIL/GARDASIL 9 in almost every major region globally.
For the third quarter of 2024, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) earnings per share (EPS) assuming dilution was $1.24 and non-GAAP EPS was $1.57. The declines in GAAP and Non-GAAP EPS in the third quarter of 2024 versus the prior year were largely due to a net charge of $0.79 per share in the aggregate for the acquisition of Eyebiotech Limited (EyeBio) and a related development milestone, the acquisition of CN201 (now known as MK-1045) from Curon Biopharmaceutical (Curon), as well as a payment received from Daiichi Sankyo related to the expansion of the existing development and commercialization agreement. There were no significant business development transaction charges in the third quarter of 2023.
Non-GAAP EPS in both periods excludes acquisition- and divestiture-related costs, costs related to restructuring programs, as well as income and losses from investments in equity securities.
^1^ Net income attributable to Merck & Co., Inc.
^2^ Merck is providing certain 2024 and 2023 non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing this information enhances investors’ understanding of the company’s results because management uses non-GAAP results to assess performance. Management uses non-GAAP measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. In addition, annual employee compensation, including senior management’s compensation, is derived in part using a non-GAAP pretax income metric. This information should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a description of the non-GAAP adjustments, see Table 2a attached to this release.

| Total Sales | $ | 16,657 | $ | 15,962 | 4 | % | 7 | % | Approximately 2 percentage points of the negative impact of foreign exchange was due to devaluation of Argentine peso, which was largely offset by inflation-related price increases, consistent with practice in that market. | ||
| Pharmaceutical | 14,943 | 14,263 | 5 | % | 8 | % | Increase driven by growth in oncology and cardiovascular, partially offset by declines in diabetes, vaccines and virology. | ||||
| KEYTRUDA | 7,429 | 6,338 | 17 | % | 21 | % | Growth driven by increased global uptake in earlier-stage indications, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as well as continued strong global demand from metastatic indications. Approximately 3 percentage points of the negative impact of foreign exchange was due to devaluation of Argentine peso, which was largely offset by inflation-related price increases. | ||||
| GARDASIL/GARDASIL 9 | 2,306 | 2,585 | -11 | % | -10 | % | Decline primarily due to lower demand in China compared with prior year, partially offset by higher sales in the U.S., driven by public-sector buying patterns, higher pricing and demand, as well as higher demand in most international regions. | ||||
| PROQUAD, M-M-R II and VARIVAX | 703 | 713 | -1 | % | -1 | % | Decline primarily due to timing of shipments and lower tenders in Latin America, largely offset by higher demand in certain international markets. | ||||
| JANUVIA/JANUMET | 482 | 835 | -42 | % | -38 | % | Decline primarily due to lower pricing in the U.S., as well as ongoing generic competition in many international markets. | ||||
| BRIDION | 420 | 424 | -1 | % | 0 | % | Relatively flat compared with prior year due to generic competition in certain international markets, particularly in Europe and Japan, largely offset by higher demand and pricing in the U.S. | ||||

| WELIREG | 139 | 54 | 156 | % | 157 | % | Growth primarily driven by higher demand in the U.S., largely attributable to ongoing uptake of a new indication. |
| Animal Health | 1,487 | 1,400 | 6 | % | 11 | % | Growth primarily driven by higher demand and pricing for both Companion Animal and Livestock product portfolios, as well as sales related to July 2024 acquisition of Elanco aqua business. Approximately 2 percentage points of the negative impact of foreign exchange was due to devaluation of Argentine peso, which was largely offset by inflation-related price increases. |
| Livestock | 886 | 874 | 1 | % | 7 | % | Growth primarily driven by higher pricing and higher demand for poultry and swine products, as well as sales related to acquisition of Elanco aqua business. |
| Companion Animal | 601 | 526 | 14 | % | 17 | % | Growth primarily driven by uptake from new product launches, including the injectable formulation of BRAVECTO in certain international markets, as well as higher pricing across product portfolio. Sales of BRAVECTO were $266 million and $235 million in current and prior year quarters, respectively, which represented growth of 13%, or 16% excluding impact of foreign exchange. |
| Other Revenues** | 227 | 299 | -24 | % | -22 | % | Decline primarily due to lower payments received for out-licensing arrangements and lower royalty income. |

GAAP Expense, EPS and Related Information
Gross margin was 75.5% for the third quarter of 2024 compared with 73.3% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the favorable impact of product mix (including lower royalty rates related to KEYTRUDA and GARDASIL/GARDASIL 9), partially offset by higher restructuring costs (primarily reflecting asset impairment charges), as well as higher amortization of intangible assets.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $2.7 billion in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 8% compared with the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher administrative, promotional, selling, and acquisition-related costs, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign exchange.
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $5.9 billion in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 77% compared with the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a charge of $1.35 billion for the acquisition of EyeBio and a $100 million charge for a related development milestone, as well as a charge of $750 million to acquire CN201 (MK-1045) from Curon. The increase in R&D expenses was also driven by higher compensation and benefit costs, as well as higher clinical development spending. The increase in R&D expenses was partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign exchange.
Other (income) expense, net, was $162 million of income in the third quarter of 2024 compared with $126 million of expense in the third quarter of 2023. The favorability was primarily due to a $170 million payment received from Daiichi Sankyo related to the expansion of the existing development and commercialization agreement, lower exchange losses and lower net interest expense.
^3^ Reflects expenses related to acquisitions of businesses, including the amortization of intangible assets, intangible asset impairment charges and expense or income related to changes in the estimated fair value measurement of liabilities for contingent consideration. Also includes integration, transaction and certain other costs associated with acquisitions and divestitures, as well as amortization of intangible assets related to collaborations and licensing arrangements.

The effective tax rate of 22.7% for the third quarter of 2024 includes a 7.2 percentage point combined unfavorable impact related to the EyeBio and Curon transactions.
GAAP EPS was $1.24 for the third quarter of 2024 compared with $1.86 for the third quarter of 2023. GAAP EPS in the third quarter of 2024 includes a net charge of $0.79 per share in the aggregate for the EyeBio, Curon and Daiichi Sankyo transactions. There were no significant business development transaction charges in the third quarter of 2023.
Non-GAAP Expense, EPS and Related Information
Non-GAAP gross margin was 80.5% for the third quarter of 2024 compared with 77.0% for the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the favorable impact of product mix (including lower royalty rates related to KEYTRUDA and GARDASIL/GARDASIL 9).
Non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $2.7 billion in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 8% compared with the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher administrative, promotional and selling costs, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign exchange.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $5.8 billion in the third quarter of 2024, an increase of 77% compared with the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to a charge of $1.35 billion for the acquisition of EyeBio and a $100 million charge for a related development milestone, as well as a charge of $750 million to acquire CN201 (MK-1045) from Curon. The increase in R&D expenses was also driven by higher compensation and benefit costs, as well as higher clinical development spending. The increase in R&D expenses was partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign exchange.
Non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, was $193 million of income in the third quarter of 2024 compared with $133 million of expense in the third quarter of 2023. The favorability was primarily due to a $170 million payment received from Daiichi Sankyo related to the expansion of the existing development and commercialization agreement, lower exchange losses and lower net interest expense.
The non-GAAP effective tax rate of 21.9% for the third quarter of 2024 includes a 6.0 percentage point combined unfavorable impact related to the EyeBio and Curon transactions.
Non-GAAP EPS was $1.57 for the third quarter of 2024 compared with $2.13 for the third quarter of 2023.

Pipeline and Portfolio Highlights
In the third quarter, Merck continued to develop and augment its strong, diverse pipeline and achieve key regulatory and clinical milestones.
In cardiovascular disease, Merck continued to build on positive momentum in its U.S. launch of WINREVAIR. As of the end of September 2024, more than 3,700 patients have been prescribed WINREVAIR. The company also received the European Commission’s (EC) approval of WINREVAIR, in combination with other pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapies, for the treatment of adult patients with PAH with World Health Organization (WHO) functional Class II to III. WINREVAIR is the first activin signaling inhibitor approved for the treatment of PAH in Europe. WINREVAIR has launched in Germany and Merck is working to obtain reimbursement for WINREVAIR in other countries in the EU, which should occur in most other major European markets in the second half of 2025.
In oncology, Merck continued to reinforce its leadership in women’s and earlier stages of cancers and demonstrate progress in its research pipeline. At the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024, three of the company’s data presentations were highlighted during Presidential Symposium sessions. These included overall survival (OS) data from the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-522 trial in high-risk, early-stage TNBC and from the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-A18 trial (also known as ENGOT-cx11/GOG-3047) in high-risk, locally advanced cervical cancer. In addition, new positive data on investigational candidates from Merck’s pipeline were presented, including for patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd), an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) being developed in collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo, and for sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), an anti-TROP2 ADC being developed in collaboration with Kelun-Biotech.
The company also achieved several regulatory milestones, including new approvals for KEYTRUDA-based regimens in the U.S., Europe and Japan. In addition, Merck recently announced top-line results from the KEYNOTE-689 trial, which marks the first positive trial in two decades for patients with resected, locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC).
- 8 -
In vaccines, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted in October 2024 to recommend CAPVAXIVE for individuals 50 to 64 years of age. This decision expanded upon the initial unanimous recommendation in June 2024 for use of CAPVAXIVE in adults age 65 and older, among other cohorts.
At IDWeek 2024, Merck presented positive results from the Phase 2b/3 trial of clesrovimab (MK-1654), an investigational respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) preventative monoclonal antibody for infants. These results support the potential for clesrovimab to become the first and only single-dose immunization designed to protect infants with the same dose, regardless of weight, for the duration of their first RSV season (six months).
In immunology, long-term efficacy and safety data for tulisokibart (MK-7240), an investigational humanized monoclonal antibody directed to a novel target, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like cytokine 1A (TL1A), from the Phase 2 ARTEMIS-UC and APOLLO-CD studies in ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), were presented at the United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week 2024 Congress. Both studies showed that, at week 50, maintenance of treatment efficacy was generally observed in 12-week induction responders. Phase 3 studies in UC and CD are ongoing.
In addition, Merck continued to expand and diversify its pipeline by securing strategic business development opportunities. Merck completed its acquisition of CN201 (MK-1045), a next-generation CD3xCD19 bispecific antibody with potential applications in B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases, from Curon. Merck also announced the expansion of the global development and commercialization agreement with Daiichi Sankyo to include MK-6070, an investigational delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3) targeting T-cell engager. The companies are planning to evaluate MK-6070 in combination with ifinatamab deruxtecan (I-DXd) in certain patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), as well as other potential combinations.

| Full Year 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Updated | |||
| Sales^*^ | 63.6 to 64.1 billion | $63.4 to $64.4 billion | |
| Non-GAAP Gross margin^2^ | Approximately 81% | Approximately 81% | |

All values are in US Dollars.
*The company does not have any non-GAAP adjustments to sales.

Merck has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, given it cannot predict with reasonable certainty the amounts necessary for such a reconciliation, including intangible asset impairment charges, legal settlements, and gains and losses from investments in equity securities either owned directly or through ownership interests in investment funds, without unreasonable effort. These items are inherently difficult to forecast and could have a significant impact on the company’s future GAAP results.
Merck continues to experience strong growth, including from KEYTRUDA, new product launches and Animal Health. As a result, Merck is narrowing the range of its full-year sales outlook.
Merck now expects its full-year sales to be between $63.6 billion and $64.1 billion, including a negative impact of foreign exchange of approximately 3 percentage points, at mid-October 2024 exchange rates. Approximately 2 percentage points of the negative impact of foreign exchange is due to the devaluation of the Argentine peso, which is being largely offset by inflation-related price increases, consistent with practice in that market.
Merck now expects its full-year non-GAAP effective income tax rate to be between 16.0% and 17.0%, which includes an unfavorable impact related to the one-time charge associated with the acquisition of CN201 (MK-1045) from Curon.
Merck now expects its full-year non-GAAP EPS to be between $7.72 and $7.77. The outlook includes a negative impact of foreign exchange of approximately $0.30 per share. The negative impact of foreign exchange is primarily due to the devaluation of the Argentine peso, which is being largely offset by inflation-related price increases, consistent with practice in that market. This revised non-GAAP EPS range reflects a net charge of $0.24 per share for the following items not previously included in the outlook:
| • | The acquisition of CN201 (MK-1045) from Curon. |
|---|---|
| • | Payment received from Daiichi Sankyo related to the expansion of the existing<br>development and commercialization agreement. |
| --- | --- |
Consistent with past practice, the financial outlook does not assume additional significant potential business development transactions.
Non-GAAP EPS excludes acquisition- and divestiture-related costs, costs related to restructuring programs, income and losses from investments in equity securities, as well as a tax benefit in 2024 due to a reduction in reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits, resulting from the expiration of the statute of limitations for assessments related to the 2019 federal tax return year.

Only the line items that are affected by non-GAAP adjustments are shown.
Merck is providing certain non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing non-GAAP information enhances investors’ understanding of the company’s results because management uses non-GAAP measures to assess performance. Management uses non-GAAP measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. In addition, annual employee compensation, including senior management’s compensation, is derived in part using a non-GAAP pretax income metric. The non-GAAP information presented should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
^(1)^Amounts included in cost of sales primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in selling, general and administrative expenses reflect integration, transaction and certain other costs related to acquisitions and divestitures. Amounts included in research and development expenses primarily reflect the amortization of intangible assets and Animal Health intangible asset impairment charges. Amounts included in other (income) expense, net, primarily reflect royalty income related to the prior termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture.
^(2)^Amounts primarily include employee separation costs, accelerated depreciation and asset impairments associated with facilities to be closed or divested related to activities under the company's formal restructuring programs.
^(3)^Represents the estimated tax impacts on the reconciling items based on applying the statutory rate of the originating territory of the non-GAAP adjustments.
^(4)^Represents a benefit due to a reduction in reserves for unrecognized income tax benefits resulting from the expiration of the statute of limitations for assessments related to the 2019 federal tax return year.

Only the line items that are affected by non-GAAP adjustments are shown.
Merck is providing certain non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing non-GAAP information enhances investors’ understanding of the company’s results because management uses non-GAAP measures to assess performance. Management uses non-GAAP measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. In addition, senior management’s annual compensation is derived in part using a non-GAAP pretax income metric. The non-GAAP information presented should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
^(1)^Amounts included in cost of sales primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in selling, general and administrative expenses reflect integration, transaction and certain other costs related to acquisitions and divestitures. Amounts included in research and development expenses primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in other (income) expense, net, primarily reflect royalty income, partially offset by an increase in the estimated fair value measurement of liabilities for contingent consideration related to the prior termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture. Additionally, the nine-month period includes a $37 million loss on the sale of a business.
^(2)^Amounts primarily include employee separation costs and accelerated depreciation associated with facilities to be closed or divested related to activities under the company's formal restructuring programs.
^(3)^ Reflects a charge related to settlements with certain plaintiffs in the Zetia antitrust litigation.
^(4)^ Represents the estimated tax impacts on the reconciling items based on applying the statutory rate of the originating territory of the non-GAAP adjustments.
