Worldwide sales were $11.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2018, an increase of 5 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2017, including a 3 percent negative impact from foreign exchange. Full-year 2018 worldwide sales were $42.3 billion, an increase of 5 percent compared with the full year of 2017.
Sales for the full year of 2018 include approximately $125 million for the replenishment of doses of GARDASIL 9 (Human Papillomavirus 9-valent Vaccine, Recombinant), a vaccine to prevent certain cancers and other diseases caused by Human Papillomavirus (HPV), that were borrowed from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Pediatric Vaccine Stockpile in 2017. The borrowing reduced sales in 2017 by approximately $125 million.
Lost sales due to the cyber-attack that occurred in June 2017 unfavorably affected revenue in the fourth quarter of 2017 by $125 million, and for the full year of 2018 and 2017 by $150 million and $260 million, respectively.
GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings (loss) per share assuming dilution (EPS) were $0.69 for the fourth quarter and $2.32 for the full year of 2018. GAAP EPS for the full year of 2018 reflects a $1.4 billion charge related to the formation of a strategic oncology collaboration with Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai). Non-GAAP EPS of $1.04 for the fourth quarter and $4.34 for the full year of 2018 exclude acquisition- and divestiture-related costs, restructuring costs and certain other items. Non-GAAP EPS for the full year of 2018 also excludes the charge related to the formation of the collaboration with Eisai.
GAAP EPS were $(0.39) for the fourth quarter and $0.87 for the full year of 2017, which reflect a $2.6 billion provisional charge related to the enactment of U.S. tax legislation and for the full year also reflect a $2.35 billion charge related to the formation of a strategic oncology collaboration with AstraZeneca.
Oncology Pipeline Highlights
Merck continued to advance the development programs for KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab), the company’s anti-PD-1 therapy; Lynparza (olaparib), a PARP inhibitor being co-developed and co-commercialized with AstraZeneca; and Lenvima (lenvatinib mesylate), an orally available tyrosine kinase inhibitor being co-developed and co-commercialized with Eisai.

Merck announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
approved KEYTRUDA for the following indications:
- In combination with carboplatin and either paclitaxel or nab-paclitaxel for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), making it the first anti-PD-1 approved for first-line treatment of squamous NSCLC regardless of PD-L1 expression. The approval is based on results from the KEYNOTE-407 trial.
- For the treatment of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who have been previously treated with sorafenib.
- For the treatment of adult and pediatric patients with recurrent locally advanced or metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma.
- Merck announced that five new approvals, including three expanded uses in advanced NSCLC, one in adjuvant melanoma, as well as a new indication in advanced microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumors were granted in Japan.
- Merck announced that the European Commission (EC) approved KEYTRUDA for the adjuvant treatment of adults with stage III melanoma and lymph node involvement who have undergone complete resection based on data from the pivotal Phase 3 EORTC1325/KEYNOTE-054 trial.
- Merck announced results from KEYNOTE-181, a Phase 3 trial investigating KEYTRUDA as monotherapy for the second-line treatment of advanced or metastatic esophageal or esophagogastric junction carcinoma, which demonstrated a 31 percent reduction in the risk of death compared to chemotherapy in previously treated patients with advanced esophageal or esophagogastric junction carcinoma whose tumors expressed PD-L1 (combined positive score [CPS] ≥10). Merck presented the data in January at the ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium.
- Merck announced that the FDA extended the action date for the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for KEYTRUDA as monotherapy for the first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in patients whose tumors express PD-L1 (tumor proportion score [TPS] ≥1%) without EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations. The sBLA is based on results of the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-042 trial. The company submitted additional data and analyses to the FDA, which extends the PDUFA date by three months to April 11, 2019.
Lynparza
- Merck and AstraZeneca announced that the FDA approved Lynparza for use as maintenance treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm or sBRCAm) advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who are in complete or partial response to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. This is the first regulatory approval for a PARP inhibitor in the first-line maintenance setting for BRCAm advanced ovarian cancer and approval was based on positive results from the pivotal Phase 3 SOLO-1 trial.
- Merck and AstraZeneca announced positive results from the Phase 3 SOLO-3 trial of Lynparza in patients with relapsed ovarian cancer after two or more lines of treatment.

Pharmaceutical Revenue
Fourth-quarter pharmaceutical sales increased 6 percent to $9.8 billion, including a 2 percent negative impact from foreign exchange. The increase was driven primarily by growth in oncology and vaccines, partially offset by lower sales in virology and the ongoing impacts of the loss of market exclusivity for several products.
Growth in oncology was driven by a significant increase in sales of KEYTRUDA, reflecting the strong momentum for the treatment of patients with NSCLC and the company’s continued launches with new indications globally. Additionally, oncology sales reflect alliance revenue of $71 million related to Lenvima and $62 million related to Lynparza, representing Merck’s share of profits, which are product sales net of cost of sales and commercialization costs.
Growth in vaccines was driven by an increase in sales of GARDASIL [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16 and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant] and GARDASIL 9, vaccines to prevent certain cancers and other diseases caused by HPV, primarily due to the ongoing commercial launch in China as well as growth in the United States and Europe. The increase in U.S. sales reflects the timing of public sector purchases in 2017. Growth in vaccines was partially offset by a significant decrease in sales of ZOSTAVAX (zoster vaccine live), a vaccine for the prevention of herpes zoster, primarily due to a competing product that received a preferential recommendation from the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in October 2017. The company anticipates that future sales of ZOSTAVAX will continue to be unfavorably affected by competition.
Performance in hospital acute care reflects strong demand in the United States for BRIDION (sugammadex) Injection 100 mg/mL, a medicine for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide in adults undergoing surgery, and the ongoing launch of PREVYMIS (letermovir), a medicine for the prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in adult CMV-seropositive recipients of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
Pharmaceutical sales growth was partially offset by lower sales in virology largely reflecting a significant decline in sales of ZEPATIER (elbasvir and grazoprevir), a medicine for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus genotypes 1 or 4 infection, due to increasing competition and declining patient volumes, which the company expects to continue.
Pharmaceutical sales growth for the quarter was also partially offset by the impacts from the loss of market exclusivity for ZETIA (ezetimibe) and VYTORIN (ezetimibe/simvastatin), medicines for lowering LDL cholesterol; INVANZ (ertapenem sodium), an antibiotic; CANCIDAS (caspofungin acetate for injection), an antifungal; as well as biosimilar competition for REMICADE (infliximab), a treatment for inflammatory diseases, in the company’s marketing territories in Europe.
Full-year 2018 pharmaceutical sales increased 6 percent to $37.7 billion, reflecting growth in oncology, vaccines and hospital acute care, partially offset by declines in virology and the loss of market exclusivity for several products.
Animal Health Revenue
Animal Health sales totaled $1.0 billion for the fourth quarter of 2018, an increase of 6 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2017, including a 5 percent negative impact from foreign exchange. Growth for the quarter was driven by both inline and newly launched products reflecting sales increases in companion animal products, primarily companion animal vaccines, and higher sales of livestock products, particularly swine and poultry products.
Worldwide sales for the full year of 2018 were $4.2 billion, an increase of 9 percent. Full-year sales growth was driven by sales increases in companion animal products, primarily the BRAVECTO (fluralaner) line of products that kill fleas and ticks in dogs and cats for up to 12 weeks, and companion animal vaccines. Full-year sales growth was also driven by higher sales of livestock products, including ruminants, poultry and swine products.
Animal Health segment profits were $387 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, an increase of 10 percent compared with $350 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, and were $1.7 billion for the full year of 2018, an increase of 7 percent compared with $1.6 billion in 2017.3
In December 2018, Merck announced it will acquire privately held Antelliq Group, which will establish Merck Animal Health as a leader in digital animal identification, traceability and monitoring solutions, one of the fastest growing parts of the animal health industry. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019.

GAAP Expense, EPS and Related Information
Gross margin was 70.1 percent for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to 67.0 percent for the fourth quarter of 2017. The gross margin was 68.1 percent for the full year of 2018 compared to 67.8 percent for the full year of 2017. The increase in gross margin for both periods was driven in part by lower acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and restructuring costs, which negatively affected gross margin by 4.9 percentage points and 6.3 percentage points in the fourth quarter and full year of 2018, respectively, compared with 7.3 and 8.3 percentage points for the fourth quarter and full year of 2017, respectively. In addition, the gross margin improvements in 2018 reflect the favorable effects of product mix and costs recorded in 2017 related to the cyber-attack, partially offset by the unfavorable effects of pricing pressure and the amortization of amounts capitalized for potential future milestone payments related to collaborations. For the full year of 2018, the gross margin improvement was also partially offset by a charge related to the termination of a collaboration agreement with Samsung Bioepis Co., Ltd. for insulin glargine.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018, the same as in the fourth quarter of 2017. Full-year 2018 selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.1 billion, comparable to the full year of 2017, reflecting higher administrative costs and the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange, offset by lower selling and promotion costs.
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $2.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018, a decline of 4 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2017, driven primarily by lower expenses relating to business development activities and lower in-process research and development (IPR&D) impairment charges, partially offset by higher clinical development spending, in particular from oncology collaborations, and investment in discovery and early drug development. R&D expenses were $9.8 billion for the full year of 2018, a 6 percent decrease compared to the full year of 2017. The decline primarily reflects a charge recorded in 2017 related to the formation of a collaboration with AstraZeneca and lower IPR&D impairment charges, partially offset by a charge in 2018 related to the formation of an oncology collaboration with Eisai, higher clinical development spending and investment in discovery and early drug development, as well as higher expenses related to business development transactions.
Other (income) expense, net, was $110 million of expense in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $149 million of income in the fourth quarter of 2017. Other (income) expense, net, in the fourth quarter of 2018 reflects goodwill impairment charges, as well as the recognition of unrealized losses on securities as a result of the adoption of a new accounting standard for investments in equity securities. Other (income) expense, net, in the fourth quarter of 2017 reflects gains on sales of securities, partially offset by a loss on the extinguishment of debt. Other (income) expense, net, was $402 million of income for the full year of 2018 compared to $500 million of income for the full year of 2017.
The effective income tax rates of 31.7 percent for the fourth quarter and 28.8 percent for full year of 2018 include adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded in 2017 related to the enactment of U.S. tax legislation. In addition, the effective income tax rate for the full year of 2018 reflects the unfavorable impact of a $1.4 billion charge related to the formation of the collaboration with Eisai for which no tax benefit has been recognized.
GAAP EPS was $0.69 for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with $(0.39) for the fourth quarter of 2017. GAAP EPS was $2.32 for the full year of 2018 compared with $0.87 for the full year of 2017.
Non-GAAP Expense, EPS and Related Information
The non-GAAP gross margin was 75.0 percent for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 74.3 percent for the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in the fourth-quarter gross margin reflects the favorable effects of product mix and costs recorded in 2017 related to the cyber-attack, partially offset by the unfavorable effects of pricing pressure and the amortization of amounts capitalized for potential future milestone payments related to collaborations.
The non-GAAP gross margin was 75.4 percent for the full year of 2018 compared to 76.1 percent for the full year of 2017. The decrease in non-GAAP gross margin for the full year of 2018 reflects the unfavorable effects of amortization of amounts capitalized for potential future milestone payments related to collaborations and pricing pressure, partially offset by the favorable effects of product mix and costs recorded in 2017 related to the cyber-attack.
Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018, comparable to the fourth quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.1 billion for the full year of 2018, comparable to the full year of 2017, reflecting higher administrative costs and the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange, offset by lower selling and promotion costs.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $2.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018, a 1 percent increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $7.9 billion for the full year of 2018, a 6 percent increase compared to the full year of 2017. The increases reflect higher clinical development spending and investment in discovery and early drug development, partially offset by lower business development costs.
Non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, was $66 million of income in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $143 million of income in the fourth quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, in the fourth quarter of 2018 reflects the recognition of unrealized losses on securities as a result of the adoption of a new accounting standard for investments in equity securities. Non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, in the fourth quarter of 2017 reflects realized gains on sales of equity securities, partially offset by a loss on extinguishment of debt. Non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, for the full year of 2018 was $609 million of income compared to $503 million of income for the full year of 2017.
The non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 22.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with 15.3 percent for the fourth quarter of 2017 and was 19.8 percent for the full year of 2018 compared with 19.1 percent for the full year of 2017.
Non-GAAP EPS was $1.04 for the fourth quarter of 2018 compared with $0.98 for the fourth quarter of 2017. Non-GAAP EPS was $4.34 for the full year of 2018 compared with $3.98 for the full year of 2017.

Management uses these measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. Senior management’s annual compensation is derived in part using non-GAAP income and non-GAAP EPS.

For internal management reporting, Merck does not allocate general and administrative expenses not directly incurred by the segment, nor the cost of financing these activities. Separate divisions maintain responsibility for monitoring and managing these costs, including depreciation related to fixed assets utilized by these divisions and, therefore, they are not included in segment profits. | |
| 4 | Includes expenses for the amortization of intangible assets and purchase accounting adjustments to inventories recognized as a result of acquisitions, intangible asset impairment charges and expense or income related to changes in the estimated fair value measurement of contingent consideration. Also includes integration, transaction and certain other costs related to business acquisitions and divestitures. | |
| 5 | Represents the difference between calculated GAAP EPS and calculated non-GAAP EPS, which may be different than the amount calculated by dividing the impact of the excluded items by the weighted-average shares for the period. | |
| 6 |
Includes the estimated tax impact on the reconciling items. In addition, amounts for fourth-quarter and full-year 2018 include adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded in 2017 related to the enactment of U.S. tax legislation. Amounts for fourth-quarter and full-year 2017 include a $2.6 billion provisional charge related to U.S. tax legislation.
