**See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information" and refer to the Specified Items schedule below for further detail.

(a) Represents revenue minus cost of products sold divided by revenue.

  • Gross margin decreased from 75.3% to 72.9% on a GAAP basis, and from 75.5% to 73.1% on a non-GAAP basis, primarily due to product mix.

  • Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.6 billion decreased 33% on a GAAP basis, primarily due to one-time acquisition-related expenses in 2024 and results from our strategic productivity initiative in 2025. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.6 billion decreased 20%, primarily reflecting results from our strategic productivity initiative.

  • Research and development expenses of $2.3 billion decreased 16% on a GAAP basis, primarily from one-time acquisition-related expenses in 2024. Non-GAAP research and development expenses of $2.2 billion decreased 5%, primarily driven by results from our strategic productivity initiative.

  • Acquired IPRD charge of $188 million decreased from $12.9 billion on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, primarily due to the prior year Karuna acquisition and SystImmune collaboration. Licensing income of $87 million increased from $12 million.

  • Amortization of acquired intangible assets of $830 million decreased 65% on a GAAP basis, primarily due to lower amortization expense related to Revlimid.

  • Effective tax rate in 2025 on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis was 17.1% and 15.1%, respectively. The 2024 GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rate was impacted by the $12.1 billion one-time non-tax-deductible charge for the Karuna acquisition.

  • Reported net income attributable to Bristol Myers Squibb on a GAAP basis of $2.5 billion, or $1.20 per share, in the first quarter compared to a net loss of $11.9 billion, or $(5.89) per share, in the prior year.
