Briefing

Gilead reported Q2 2026 results with 10% revenue growth in base business offset by large acquisition-related charges leading to significant net loss.

Total revenues reached $7.8 billion, up 10% year-over-year, driven by HIV, Trodelvy and Livdelzi. Diluted EPS was $(8.45) and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $(6.75) after $(9.08) per share impact from acquired IPR&D and related expenses totaling $11.2 billion. Operating cash flow was $3.6 billion with cash and equivalents at $3.2 billion.

  • Base business product sales excluding Veklury grew 10% to $7.6 billion, led by 12% HIV growth and 26% Trodelvy increase.
  • Acquired IPR&D expenses of $11.2 billion from Arcellx, Tubulis and Ouro acquisitions drove GAAP net loss of $10.5 billion.
  • Biktarvy sales rose 7% to $3.8 billion; Descovy sales surged 48% to $967 million.
  • Full-year 2026 guidance updated for higher product sales excluding Veklury but wider GAAP and non-GAAP loss per share ranges.
