Net revenues increased by 8.4% to $13.343 billion, driven by Skyrizi and Rinvoq, but offset by a 50% decline in Humira revenue due to biosimilar competition. The company's diversified portfolio is mitigating the impact of Humira's loss of exclusivity.
Gross margin increased to 70% of net revenues, up from 67% in the prior year, driven by increased leverage from net revenues growth, favorable changes in product mix, and acquisition and integration synergies. This indicates improved profitability despite competitive pressures.
Operating cash flow decreased to $1.635 billion from $4.040 billion in the prior year, primarily due to the timing of working capital and payments related to litigation matters. This reduction in cash flow could impact future investment decisions.
