Full-year revenue reached $11.02 billion, reflecting 12% growth compared to 2023, highlighting the company’s consistent strong performance and double-digit growth for the past ten years.
New Product Launches: The company successfully launched JOURNAVX, the first oral non-opioid pain signal inhibitor, and ALYFTREK, a new CFTR modulator for cystic fibrosis.
