- Net Income Attributable to Biogen Inc.
- The net income exhibited a rising trend from 2017 to 2019, increasing from approximately 2.54 billion to nearly 5.89 billion US dollars. However, a decline was observed starting in 2020, with net income falling to about 4.00 billion and further decreasing sharply to approximately 1.56 billion US dollars in 2021. This indicates a significant reduction in profitability during the latter years of the period.
- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The NOPAT followed a similar trajectory to net income, showing an increase from about 2.89 billion US dollars in 2017 to a peak of approximately 6.02 billion US dollars in 2019. Subsequently, a decline occurred with NOPAT decreasing to roughly 4.37 billion in 2020 and then sharply dropping to around 1.50 billion US dollars in 2021. This pattern signifies a reduction in operating efficiency and effectiveness in generating profit after taxes over the last two years.
- Overall Observations
- Both net income and NOPAT demonstrated growth during the initial three years, suggesting improved financial performance and operational results. The peak in 2019 represents the highest point in profitability within the analyzed period. The subsequent decline in 2020 and more pronounced drop in 2021 highlight challenges or adverse developments affecting profitability and operational outcomes. The data suggests the company experienced a notable downturn in earning capacity and operating profit in the final years.

- Income Tax Expense
- The income tax expense demonstrates a consistent downward trend from 2017 to 2021. Starting at 2,458,700 thousand US dollars in 2017, the expense decreased significantly each year to reach 52,500 thousand US dollars in 2021. The reduction is particularly notable in 2021, where the expense dropped sharply compared to previous years.
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Cash operating taxes also show a general decline over the analyzed period. Beginning at 2,441,355 thousand US dollars in 2017, these taxes declined steadily year over year, falling to 533,599 thousand US dollars in 2021. The reduction is gradual until 2020, followed by a less steep but still notable decrease in 2021.
- Comparative Analysis
- Both income tax expense and cash operating taxes have followed a downward trajectory, reflecting a possible strategic or operational improvement affecting taxable income or tax planning. The income tax expense decreased more sharply between 2020 and 2021 compared to prior years, whereas cash operating taxes reduced more steadily across the entire timeframe.

However, there was a significant increase in 2020, rising to approximately 7.91 billion US dollars. In 2021, the debt slightly decreased to about 7.69 billion US dollars, indicating a reduction after the peak the previous year.
- Total Biogen Inc. Shareholders’ Equity
- Shareholders' equity showed a consistent upward trend from 2017 to 2019, growing from approximately 12.61 billion US dollars to 13.34 billion US dollars. In 2020, there was a notable decline to about 10.70 billion US dollars. This followed by a modest recovery in 2021, with equity increasing to approximately 10.90 billion US dollars, yet still below the peak levels observed in 2019.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital experienced steady growth from 2017 through 2019, rising from approximately 12.48 billion US dollars to 14.14 billion US dollars. In 2020, invested capital dropped to about 12.63 billion US dollars but rebounded in 2021 to 13.82 billion US dollars. This pattern suggests some disruptions or adjustments during 2020, followed by partial recovery the following year.
