Abbott Reports Second-Quarter 2023 Results; Increases Outlook For Underlying Base Business
  • Sales of $10.0 billion driven by strong underlying base business performance
  • Reported sales decreased 11.4 percent due to anticipated decline in COVID-19 testing-related sales versus prior year
  • Organic sales growth for underlying base business of 11.5 percent, led by Medical Devices, Established Pharmaceuticals and Nutrition
  • Continues to strengthen portfolio with new product approvals and expanded reimbursement coverage

ABBOTT PARK, Ill., July 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

  • Second-quarter GAAP diluted EPS of $0.78 and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.08, which excludes specified items.
  • Projected full-year 2023 diluted EPS on a GAAP basis of $3.02 to $3.22.
  • Projected full-year adjusted EPS of $4.30 to $4.50 remains unchanged but reflects an increased outlook for the underlying base business offset by a lower forecasted earnings contribution from COVID-19 testing-related sales.
  • Abbott now projects full-year 2023 organic sales growth, excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales1, to be in the low double-digits2 and COVID-19 testing-related sales of approximately $1.3 billion.
  • In May, Abbott received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of its TactiFlex® Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled™, the world's first ablation catheter with a unique flexible electrode tip and contact force sensing technology to treat patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib).
  • In June, Abbott announced its FreeStyle Libre® 2 system is the first and only continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system to receive expanded national reimbursement in France to now include all people with diabetes who use insulin.
  • In June, Abbott received U.S. FDA approval of its AVEIR™ dual chamber (DR) leadless pacemaker system, the world's first dual chamber leadless pacing system that treats people with abnormal heart rhythms.

"We're achieving strong growth in our underlying base business," said Robert B. Ford, chairman and chief executive officer, Abbott. "We expect our highly productive pipeline to sustain the momentum we're building this year and position us well for growth in the future."

SECOND-QUARTER BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Management believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange, the impact of exiting the pediatric nutrition business in China, and the impact of the acquisition of Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI) is an appropriate way for investors to best understand the core underlying performance of the business. Management further believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis excluding COVID-19 tests is an appropriate way for investors to best understand underlying base business performance as the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted to an endemic state, resulting in significantly lower demand for COVID-19 tests.

Note: In order to compute results excluding the impact of exchange rates, current year U.S. dollar sales are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then those amounts are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the prior year average foreign exchange rates.

Worldwide Nutrition sales increased 6.3 percent on a reported basis and 9.9 percent on an organic basis in the second quarter. Refer to table titled "Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings" for a reconciliation of adjusted historical revenue to reported revenue.

In Pediatric Nutrition, global sales increased 10.6 percent on a reported basis and 14.5 percent on an organic basis. In the U.S., sales growth of 22.5 percent was primarily driven by continued market share recovery in the infant formula business following a voluntary recall of certain products last year.

In Adult Nutrition, global sales increased 2.5 percent on a reported basis and 6.0 percent on an organic basis, which was led by strong global growth of Ensure®, Abbott's market-leading complete and balanced nutrition brand.

As expected, Diagnostics sales growth in the second quarter was negatively impacted by year-over-year declines in COVID-19 testing-related sales3. Worldwide COVID-19 testing sales were $263 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $2.324 billion in the second quarter of the prior year.

Excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales, global Diagnostics sales increased 4.3 percent on a reported basis and 7.1 percent on an organic basis.

Worldwide Medical Devices sales increased 13.5 percent on a reported basis and 14.2 percent on an organic basis in the second quarter. Sales growth was led by double-digit organic growth in Diabetes Care, Electrophysiology, Structural Heart and Neuromodulation. Several recently launched products and new indications contributed to the strong performance, including Amplatzer® Amulet®, Navitor®, TriClip®, and Aveir™.

In Electrophysiology, internationally, sales grew high-teens on a reported basis and more than 20 percent on an organic basis, which includes high-teens growth in Europe.

In Diabetes Care, FreeStyle Libre sales were $1.3 billion, which represents sales growth of 22.9 percent on a reported basis and 24.7 percent on an organic basis.

A Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Some statements in this news release may be forward-looking statements for purposes of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Abbott cautions that these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Economic, competitive, governmental, technological and other factors that may affect Abbott's operations are discussed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2022, and are incorporated herein by reference.

1

For the full-year 2022, COVID-19 testing-related sales were $8.368 billion and total worldwide sales were $43.653 billion.



2

Abbott has not provided the related GAAP financial measure for organic sales growth, excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales, on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict the impact of foreign exchange due to the unpredictability of future changes in foreign exchange rates, which could significantly impact reported sales growth.
