Innovative Medicine

Innovative Medicine worldwide operational sales, excluding the COVID-19 Vaccine, grew 8.8%*. Growth was driven by DARZALEX (daratumumab), ERLEADA (apalutamide), and Other Oncology in Oncology, TREMFYA (guselkumab) and STELARA (ustekinumab) in Immunology, and SPRAVATO (esketamine) in Neuroscience. Growth was partially offset by Other Neuroscience. Including the COVID-19 Vaccine, Innovative Medicine worldwide operational sales grew 7.8%*.

MedTech

MedTech worldwide operational sales grew 4.4%*, with acquisitions and divestitures positively impacting growth by 0.4%. Operational sales growth was driven primarily by electrophysiology products and Abiomed in Cardiovascular, previously referred to as Interventional Solutions, and wound closure products in General Surgery.

Full-year 2024 guidance:

Johnson & Johnson does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, and purchase accounting fair value adjustments without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Johnson & Johnson's results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Johnson & Johnson is updating its 2024 guidance, including adjusted operational EPS guidance, to reflect improved performance and the impact for the recent acquisitions of Shockwave Medical, Proteologix, and NM26 Bispecific Antibody.

Other modeling considerations will be provided on the webcast.
