THIRD QUARTER PRODUCT AND PIPELINE UPDATE

  • In August, at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting in Paris, the Company and its partner, Pfizer, presented results of a Phase III trial, known as ARISTOTLE, which showed that ELIQUIS as compared to warfarin, reduced the risk of stroke or systemic embolism by 21 percent, the risk of major bleeding by 31 percent and the risk of mortality by 11 percent. Results were also published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
  • In September, at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) meeting in Lisbon, Portugal, the Company and its partner, AstraZeneca, presented results from a Phase IIIb clinical study that showed the addition of ONGLYZA to insulin in adults with type 2 diabetes maintained reductions in blood sugar levels over 52 weeks.

  • In September, at the European Society for Organ Transplantation (ESOT) meeting in Glasgow, Scotland, the Company presented new data on NULOJIX® , including donor sub-type analysis of three-year outcomes from a Phase III study of NULOJIX in recipients with extended criteria donor kidneys (BENEFIT-EXT Trial), and three-year outcomes in kidney transplant recipients with pre-transplant diabetes from two Phase III studies.

BMS-790052 is now in Phase III development.
  • In September, the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for KOMBOGLYZE received a positive opinion from Europe’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) for use in the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes. The CHMP’s positive opinion will now be reviewed by the European Commission, which has authority to approve medicines for the European Union.
  • In September, SPRYCEL received regulatory approval in China for the treatment of adult patients with chronic, accelerated, myeloid or lymphoid blast chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with resistance or intolerance to prior imatinib therapy.
  • In October, the Company and its partner, AstraZeneca, announced that the FDA extended its review timeline for New Drug Application (NDA) for dapagliflozin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and has moved the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA)—the date by which action from the FDA is expected—to January 28, 2012.

THIRD QUARTER BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

  • In July, the Company announced a global agreement with Innate Pharma S.A., a biotech company in France, for the development and commercialization of IPH 2102, a novel immuno-oncology biologic in Phase I development.

FINANCIAL GUIDANCE

Bristol-Myers Squibb is refining its 2011 GAAP EPS guidance range to $2.13 to $2.18, from $2.08 to $2.18, and its non-GAAP EPS range to $2.25 to $2.30, from $2.20 to $2.30. Key non-GAAP guidance assumptions include:

  • High-single-digit revenue growth.
  • Gross margin as a percentage of net sales consistent with last year.
  • Advertising and promotion expense decrease in the mid-single-digit range.
  • Marketing, sales and administrative expenses increasing in the low-double-digit range.
  • Research and development expense growth in the mid-single-digit range.
  • An effective tax rate of approximately 26%.

This line-item guidance assumes current foreign exchange rate.

The financial guidance for 2011 excludes the impact of any potential strategic acquisitions and divestitures, and any specified items that have not yet been identified and quantified. The non-GAAP 2011 guidance also exclude other specified items as discussed under “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.” Details reconciling adjusted non-GAAP amounts with the amounts reflecting specified items are provided in supplemental materials available on the Company’s website.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations and related earnings per share information, adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, significant gains and losses and other specified items. Among the items in GAAP measures but excluded for purposes of determining adjusted earnings and other adjusted measures are: restructuring and other exit costs; accelerated depreciation charges; IPRD and asset impairments; charges and recoveries relating to significant legal proceedings; upfront, milestone and other licensing payments for in-licensing of products that have not achieved regulatory approval which are immediately expensed; and significant tax events. This information is intended to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. For example, non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share information is an indication of the company’s baseline performance before items that are considered by the company not to be reflective of the company’s ongoing results. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators the company uses as a basis for evaluating company performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting of future periods. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
