Pfizer Full-Year Report 2023
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS (Fourth-Quarter 2023 vs. Fourth-Quarter 2022)
Fourth-quarter 2023 revenues totaled $14.2 billion, a decrease of $10.0 billion, or 41%, compared to the prior- year quarter, reflecting an operational decline of $10.1 billion, or 42%, primarily due to a significant decrease in Comirnaty1) and Paxlovid revenues globally, as well as a de minimis impact of foreign exchange. Excluding contributions from Comirnaty and Paxlovid, company revenues grew $934 million, or 8%, operationally.
Fourth-quarter 2023 Comirnaty” revenues declined $6.1 billion, or 54%, operationally compared with the prior- year quarter, largely driven by lower U.S. government contracted deliveries following the transition to traditional U.S. commercial market sales, which began in September 2023, and by lower contracted deliveries and demand in international markets.
Fourth-quarter 2023 Paxlovid revenues declined $5.0 billion, to $(3.1) billion, compared with the prior-year quarter, primarily driven by a non-cash revenue reversal of $3.5 billion recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023, of which a portion was associated with sales recorded in 2022, related to the expected return of an estimated 6.5 million treatment courses of Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)-labeled U.S. government inventory; partially offset by sales under traditional commercial markets following transition, primarily in the U.S.
Excluding contributions from Comirnaty and Paxlovid, fourth-quarter 2023 operational revenue growth was primarily driven by:
- Abrysvo, which contributed $515 million in global revenues, driven primarily by launch of the older adult indication in the U.S. in July 2023;
- Vyndaqel family (Vyndaqel, Vyndamax, Vynmac) globally, up 39% operationally, driven largely by continued strong uptake of the transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) indication, primarily in the U.S. and developed Europe; and
- Eliquis globally, up 9% operationally, driven primarily by continued oral anti-coagulant adoption and market share gains in the non-valvular atrial fibrillation indication in the U.S. and certain markets in Europe, partially offset by declines due to loss of exclusivity and generic competition in certain international markets;
