Forward guidance

Biogen is updating its full year 2022 revenue and Non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance ranges. Total revenue is expected to be between $10.0 to $10.15 billion and Non-GAAP diluted EPS is expected to be between $16.50 to $17.15.

Tailwinds

  • Better-than-expected topline performance.
  • Continued cost management.
  • Guidance assumes continued declines in RITUXAN revenue due to biosimilar competition.
  • Guidance assumes continued erosion of TECFIDERA® revenue due to generic entry.
  • Non-GAAP R&D expense is expected to be between $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion, unchanged from prior guidance.

Headwinds

  • This guidance assumes that foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2022, 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 2022 that could cause any of these assumptions to change and/or actual results to vary from this financial guidance.
  • Biogen does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) or a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of items.
  • These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period.
