Earnings Call Q4 2024
February 4, 2025 - AI Summary
Strong Fourth Quarter Results: Merck reported total revenues of $15.6 billion for Q4 2024, reflecting a 7% increase year-over-year (9% excluding foreign exchange impact). The Human Health business saw an 8% sales growth, driven mainly by oncology products, including $7.8 billion from KEYTRUDA (up 21%).
Challenges with GARDASIL in China: GARDASIL sales decreased by 18% to $1.6 billion, primarily due to low demand in China, exacerbated by elevated inventory levels. Merck plans to temporarily pause shipments to China to help reduce inventory, which is a significant negative factor affecting revenue forecasts for 2025.
Outlook and Revenue Guidance for 2025: Merck expects total revenue for 2025 to be between $64.1 and $65.6 billion, indicating growth of 2% to 4% (excluding the negative impact from foreign exchange and GARDASIL sales in China). Excluding GARDASIL’s impact, overall growth could be between 7% and 9%.
