Forward guidance

Biogen is reaffirming its full year 2023 guidance.

Tailwinds

  • Total revenue is expected to decline by a mid-single digit percentage versus reported full year 2022.
  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS is projected to be between $15.00 and $16.00.
  • Guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2023, will remain in effect for the remainder of the year, net of hedging activities.
  • This financial guidance does not include any impact from potential acquisitions or large business development transactions or pending and future litigation, as all are hard to predict, or any impact of potential tax or healthcare reform.
  • Biogen may incur charges, realize gains or losses, or experience other events or circumstances in 2023 that could cause any of these assumptions to change and/or actual results to vary from this financial guidance.

Headwinds

  • Biogen does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue).
  • The company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of items such as the transaction, integration, and certain other costs related to acquisitions or large business development transactions.
  • They cannot predict unusual gains and losses.
  • Potential future asset impairments are unpredictable.
  • The ultimate outcome of pending or future significant litigation is unknown without unreasonable effort.
