Revenue Trends
Overall revenue increased steadily from 2017 to 2019, reaching a peak of approximately $14.38 billion in 2019. However, a noticeable decline occurred in 2020 and 2021, dropping to approximately $13.45 billion and $10.98 billion respectively. The net product revenue mirrored this pattern, growing from about $10.35 billion in 2017 to a high of $11.38 billion in 2019, followed by a decline in the subsequent years. Revenues from anti-CD20 therapeutic programs rose through 2019, peaking at around $2.29 billion, before falling sharply through 2021. Other revenue fluctuated, increasing until 2020 and then dropping significantly in 2021.
Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
The cost of sales showed a general upward trend over the period, rising from approximately $1.63 billion in 2017 to $2.11 billion in 2021, with a slight dip in 2020. Gross profit followed the revenue trend, increasing through 2019 but declining sharply afterward, notably dropping to $8.87 billion in 2021, indicating margin compression likely due to declining revenue coupled with relatively high costs.
Operating Expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses increased considerably in 2020 to about $3.99 billion, before decreasing in 2021. Selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A) steadily increased each year, culminating at approximately $2.67 billion in 2021. Amortization and impairment of acquired intangible assets varied, with a notable increase in 2021 to approximately $881 million after decreasing between 2017 and 2020. Collaboration profit sharing decreased substantially in 2021 to only $7.2 million from earlier higher amounts.
Other Operational Items
Gains and losses related to divestiture and contingent consideration showed variable impacts, with a gain on the divestiture of manufacturing operations recorded in 2020. In-process research and development charges decreased over time. Restructuring charges were minor and episodic. Income from operations generally increased up to 2019 but declined significantly by 2021, reflecting the overall weakening profitability.
Financial Income and Expenses
Interest income peaked in 2019 and fell sharply afterward, while interest expense fluctuated, peaking again in 2021. Gains on investments showed volatility, with a notable negative swing in 2021. Foreign exchange and other net items had relatively minimal but consistently negative impacts in recent years. Other income (expense) showed significant positive income in 2020 but shifted to a large expense in 2021.
Profitability
Income before tax increased from 2017 to 2019 but fell sharply in 2020 and more so in 2021. Income tax expense decreased substantially each year, reaching a very low level in 2021, possibly due to reduced taxable income or tax planning strategies. Net income exhibited a similar trajectory, growing from about $2.67 billion in 2017 to nearly $5.89 billion in 2019, then declining sharply to approximately $1.73 billion in 2021. The net income attributable to the company followed the same pattern.
Summary of Trends
The data indicate a period of growth culminating in 2019 across revenues, profits, and operational performance. Post-2019, the company experienced a significant decrease in revenue and profitability, driven by declining product sales and increased costs in certain areas such as R&D and amortization. The sharp fall in net income in 2021 highlights financial pressures and possibly strategic or market challenges. Operational efficiency seems to have been affected as SG&A expenses increased steadily despite declining revenues. Investment-related gains and other income also presented volatility, adding to profitability uncertainty in recent years.
