Forward guidance

Pfizer narrowed its 2023 revenue guidance range to $67 to $70 billion and maintains adjusted diluted EPS guidance of $3.25 to $3.45. Non-COVID operational revenue growth is expected to be 6% to 8%.

Tailwinds

  • Maintaining guidance for Adjusted diluted EPS(3).
  • Focus on ensuring successful fall vaccinations during the respiratory infection season.
  • Continuing to make progress toward proposed acquisition of Seagen.
  • Expecting to deliver robust operational growth in 2025 and beyond.
  • Building momentum in 2023, recently attaining key milestones for several products.

Headwinds

  • Expected revenue declines for Pfizer’s COVID-19 products.
  • Short-term headwinds, such as the U.S. approval for the Talzenna plus Xtandi combination for the treatment of adult patients with homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), versus an approval in the all-comers population.
  • Shared clinical decision-making recommendation for Abrysvo from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), versus a routine recommendation.
  • Recent tornado damage to Pfizer’s manufacturing facility in Rocky Mount, N.C.
  • Changes in foreign exchange rates have had a minimal incremental impact since full-year 2023 guidance was issued.
