has announced a 22.9% increase in net income of $5.61bn for the financial year 2023 (FY 2023) against $4.56bn in FY22.
For the 12 months ended 31 December 2023, diluted earnings per share (EPS) for FY 2023 rose to $4.50 from $3.64 in FY 2022.
The increase was attributed to reduced intellectual property and research and development impairment expenses and unrealised losses on equity investments, as well as increased interest income.
The growth was partially offset by a rise in costs and operating expenses and lower Veklury sales.
Non-GAAP [generally accepted accounting principles] diluted EPS saw a decline to $6.72 in 2023 from $7.26 in the previous year.
The company again cited a rise in total costs and expenses, as well as reduced sales of Veklury, as the key contributing factors.
