Filing Highlights

Financial Performance

Total revenues decreased by 3% year-over-year to $3.797 billion, primarily due to a $98.9 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation and the inclusion of net sales in the prior year related to divestitures. Constant currency net sales from the remaining business increased by approximately 2%.

Gross profit margin decreased from 41% to 38% due to an IPR&D intangible asset impairment charge of $102.0 million. Adjusted gross margins were approximately 58% compared to approximately 60% for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The company reported a net loss of $326.4 million, compared to net earnings of $264.0 million in the prior year period. This was primarily due to the IPR&D impairment and lower operating income.
