THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2026.

"Our results demonstrate strong performance across our business. Our six key growth drivers grew 26% year over year, generating nearly 70% of second-quarter product sales. As we expand the potential of our existing medicines through new indications and advance the next wave of pipeline molecules through Phase 3, we remain confident in our ability to deliver growth well into the next decade," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer.

Key results include:

• For the second quarter, total revenues increased 10% to $10.1 billion in comparison to the second quarter of 2025.
  • Product sales grew 9%, driven by volume growth.
  • Twenty-two products delivered at least double-digit sales growth in the second quarter.
  • Seventeen products are annualizing at more than $1 billion based on second quarter sales.
• GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased 65% from $2.65 to $4.37 for the second quarter, driven by higher revenues.
  • For the second quarter, GAAP operating income increased from $2.7 billion to $3.5 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 6.5 percentage points to 36.8%.
• Non-GAAP EPS increased 4% from $6.02 to $6.29 for the second quarter, primarily driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses and higher income tax expense.
  • For the second quarter, non-GAAP operating income increased from $4.3 billion to $4.6 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin decreased 0.5 percentage points to 48.4%.
• The Company generated $3.5 billion of free cash flow in the second quarter of 2026 versus $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2025. The increase reflects the final repatriation tax payment in the second quarter of 2025 and current period business performance, partially offset by timing of working capital.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Our results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products including biosimilars, difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products and global economic conditions, including those resulting from geopolitical relations and government actions. In addition, sales of our products are affected by pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny and reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products, including our devices, after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. In addition, our business may be impacted by the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors, or we may fail to prevail in present and future intellectual property litigation. We perform a substantial amount of our commercial manufacturing activities at a few key facilities, including in Puerto Rico, and also depend on third parties for a portion of our manufacturing activities, and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. An outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, and the public and governmental effort to mitigate against the spread of such disease, could have a significant adverse effect on the supply of materials for our manufacturing activities, the distribution of our products, the commercialization of our product candidates, and our clinical trial operations, and any such events may have a material adverse effect on our product development, product sales, business and results of operations. We rely on collaborations with third parties for the development of some of our product candidates and for the commercialization and sales of some of our commercial products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to many of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Certain of our distributors, customers and payers have substantial purchasing leverage in their dealings with us. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to collaborate with or acquire other companies, products or technology, and to integrate the operations of companies or to support the products or technology we have acquired, may not be successful, and may result in unanticipated costs, delays or failures to realize the benefits of the transactions. A breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach of our information technology systems could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and our data. Our stock price is volatile and may be affected by a number of events. Our business and operations may be negatively affected by the failure, or perceived failure, of achieving our sustainability objectives. The effects of global climate change and related natural disasters could negatively affect our business and operations. Global economic conditions may magnify certain risks that affect our business. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock. We may not be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.
