Gilead Sciences Announces First Quarter Financial Results

Product Sales Excluding Veklury Increased 8%Year-Over-Year to $6.8 billion

Biktarvy Sales Increased7% Year-Over-Year to $3.4 billion

FOSTER CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) announced today its results of operations for the first quarter 2026.

“Gilead teams have delivered another strong quarter with 8% year-over-year growth in our base business and 10% growth in HIV, supported by the successful launch of Yeztugo. We have raised our full year revenue guidance as a reflection of our performance,” said Daniel O’Day, Gilead’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Building on the strongest pipeline in Gilead’s history, we are adding potentially best-in-disease assets and platforms in oncology and inflammation from our acquisitions of Arcellx, Ouro Medicines and Tubulis. With up to four potential launches and five Phase 3 updates anticipated in 2026, Gilead is well-positioned for sustained growth in the near and long term.”

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

  • Total first quarter 2026 revenues increased 4% to $7.0 billion compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher sales of HIV products, Trodelvy® (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy), and Livdelzi® (seladelpar), partially offset by lower sales of Veklury® (remdesivir), as well as chronic hepatitis C virus (“HCV”) and Cell Therapy products.

  • Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) was $1.61 in the first quarter 2026 compared to $1.04 in the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by net unrealized gains from equity securities compared to net unrealized losses in 2025 and higher product sales, as well as lower acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) expenses. The increase was partially offset by higher income tax and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses.

  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $2.03 in the first quarter 2026 compared to $1.81 in the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher product sales and lower acquired IPR&D expenses, partially offset by higher income tax and SG&A expenses.

  • As of March 31, 2026, Gilead had $8.6 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities compared to $10.6 billion as of December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by $2.8 billion of debt repayments, $1.0 billion of dividend payments and $419 million of common stock repurchases, partially offset by $2.5 billion of operating cash flow. 

First Quarter 2026 Product Sales

Total first quarter 2026 product sales increased 5% to $6.9 billion compared to the same period in 2025. Total first quarter 2026 product sales excluding Veklury increased 8% to $6.8 billion compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher sales of HIV products, Trodelvy and Livdelzi, partially offset by lower sales of HCV and Cell Therapy products.

HIV product sales increased 10% to $5.0 billion in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher demand and average realized price, partially offset by unfavorable inventory dynamics.

  • Biktarvy® (bictegravir 50mg/emtricitabine (“FTC”) 200mg/tenofovir alafenamide (“TAF”) 25mg) sales increased 7% to $3.4 billion in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher demand and average realized price, partially offset by unfavorable inventory dynamics.
  • Descovy® (FTC 200mg/TAF 25mg) sales increased 38% to $807 million in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher average realized price and demand.

The Liver Disease portfolio sales increased 1% to $767 million in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily reflecting higher demand for Livdelzi, partially offset by unfavorable inventory dynamics and lower sales for HCV products.

Veklury sales decreased 52% to $144 millionin the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by lower rates of COVID-19-related hospitalizations.

Cell Therapy product sales decreased 12% to $407 million in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, reflecting ongoing competitive headwinds.

  • Yescarta® (axicabtagene ciloleucel) sales decreased 14% to $332 million in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by in- and out-of-class competition.
  • Tecartus® (brexucabtagene autoleucel) sales decreased 4% to $75 million in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by in-class competition.

Trodelvy® (sacituzumab govitecan-hziy) sales increased 37% to $402 million in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher demand, favorable inventory dynamics and higher average realized price.

First Quarter 2026 Product Gross Margin, Operating Expenses and Effective Tax Rate

  • Product gross margin was 79.2% in the first quarter 2026 compared to 76.7% in the same period in 2025. Non-GAAP product gross margin was 87.5% in the first quarter 2026 compared to 85.5% in the same period in 2025. These increases are primarily due to the expiration of a royalty-related obligation and product mix.

  • Research and development (“R&D”) expenses remained relatively flat at $1.4 billion in the first quarter 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower oncology clinical study activity and lower restructuring costs being fully offset by higher investment in virology clinical manufacturing. Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $1.4 billion in the first quarter 2026 compared to $1.3 billion in the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher investment in virology clinical manufacturing, partially offset by lower oncology clinical study activity.

  • Acquired IPR&D expenses were $107 million in the first quarter 2026, primarily related to an $80 million upfront payment related to our collaboration with Suzhou Genhouse Bio Co., Ltd. (“Genhouse”).

  • SG&A expenses were $1.5 billion in the first quarter 2026 compared to $1.3 billion in the same period in 2025, primarily driven by higher HIV promotional expenses and donations of equity securities made to the Gilead Foundation. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $1.4 billion in the first quarter 2026 compared to $1.2 billion in the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher HIV promotional expenses.

  • The effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 21.7% in the first quarter 2026 compared to 20.2% in the same period in 2025. The non-GAAP ETR was 18.3% in the first quarter 2026 compared to 16.3% in the same period in 2025. These increases are primarily driven by a prior year state tax benefit that did not recur.

As compared to our February guidance, our updated full year 2026 GAAP and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share guidance was reduced by approximately $9.50 due to the anticipated acquired IPR&D charges of $11.5 billion as well as financing costs related to the Arcellx, Inc. (“Arcellx”), Ouro Medicines, LLC (“Ouro”), and Tubulis GmbH (“Tubulis”) transactions discussed further below.

Additional information and a reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information for the 2026 guidance is provided in the accompanying tables. The financial guidance is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. See the Forward-Looking Statements section below.

Key Updates Since Our Last Quarterly Release

Virology

  • Announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) accepted New Drug Application for bictegravir and lenacapavir (“BIC/LEN”) for virologically suppressed people with HIV under priority review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) target action date of August 27, 2026.

  • Presented late-breaking Phase 3 results from the ARTISTRY-1 and ARTISTRY-2 trials at the 2026 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI), evaluating the investigational daily oral single-tablet regimen of BIC/LEN for virologically suppressed people with HIV. BIC/LEN maintained high levels of virologic suppression, demonstrating comparable efficacy to complex regimens and to Biktarvy at Week 48 in people with HIV who switched antiretroviral therapy. These data support global regulatory filings.

  • Announced a $12 million investment to the Community Health Worker Comprehensive HIV Prevention Initiative program to expand HIV prevention initiatives across 14 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

  • Announced a new investment from the U.S. State Department, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (“PEPFAR”) and The Global Fund to deliver lenacapavir for HIV prevention to an additional 1 million people, bringing the total commitment up to 3 million people in countries supported by both PEPFAR and the Global Fund.

Oncology

  • Completed the acquisition of Arcellx for $115 per share, or an implied equity value of $7.8 billion, and one contingent value right of $5 per share. This acquisition builds on an existing collaboration agreement with Arcellx for the development of anitocabtagene autoleucel (“anito-cel”) in relapsed or refractory (“R/R”) multiple myeloma (“MM”), and also adds Arcellx’s D-Domain BCMA binder that has the potential to strengthen Gilead’s portfolio in oncology and inflammation.

  • Announced that the Biologics License Application for anito-cel in 4L+ R/R MM has been accepted by FDA, with a PDUFA target action date of December 23, 2026.

  • Announced a definitive agreement to acquire Tubulis, a private clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation antibody-drug conjugates (“ADC”), including lead asset TUB-040, a NaPi2b-directed topoisomerase-I inhibitor ADC currently in Phase 1b/2 development for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Closing of the transaction is subject to expiration or termination of certain regulatory filings and other customary conditions.

  • Received FDA full approval for Tecartus in adult patients with R/R mantle cell lymphoma, following an accelerated approval in this setting in July 2020. Tecartus’ label now includes efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic data from Cohort 3 of the ZUMA-2 study in patients who are R/R after one or more lines of therapy and who are Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor-naïve.

Inflammation

  • Announced a definitive agreement to acquire Ouro, a private clinical-stage biotechnology company developing T cell engager (“TCE”) therapies for autoimmune diseases. This acquisition adds Ouro’s lead asset, OM336 (gamgertamig), a BCMAxCD3 TCE, to Gilead’s portfolio. Closing of the transaction is subject to expiration or termination of certain regulatory filings and other customary conditions. Gilead has entered into a framework agreement with Galapagos NV (“Galapagos”) in relation to this acquisition, which includes equally splitting the $1.675 billion upfront payment and up to $500 million in milestone payments, among other terms.

Corporate

  • The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.82 per share of common stock for the second quarter of 2026. The dividend is payable on June 29, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2026. Future dividends will be subject to Board approval.

Certain amounts and percentages in this press release may not sum or recalculate due to rounding.

Conference Call

At 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time today, Gilead will host a conference call to discuss Gilead’s results. A live webcast will be available on http://investors.gilead.com and will be archived on www.gilead.com for one year.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The information presented in this document has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), unless otherwise noted as non-GAAP. Management believes non-GAAP information is useful for investors, when considered in conjunction with Gilead’s GAAP financial information, because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and should only be used to supplement an understanding of Gilead’s operating results as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information generally excludes acquisition-related expenses including amortization of acquired intangible assets and other items that are considered unusual or not representative of underlying trends of Gilead’s business, fair value adjustments of equity securities, the related tax charges or benefits associated with such exclusions and other discrete tax charges or benefits not representative of underlying trends such as changes in tax laws, transfers of intangible assets between certain legal entities, and effects of legal entity restructurings. Although Gilead consistently excludes the amortization of acquired intangible assets from the non-GAAP financial information, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of acquisitions and contribute to ongoing revenue generation.Non-GAAP measures may be defined and calculated differently by other companies in the same industry. Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in the accompanying tables.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements included in this press release that are not historical in nature are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Gilead cautions readers that forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. These risks and uncertainties include those relating to: Gilead’s ability to achieve its full year 2026 financial guidance, including as a result of the uncertainty of the amount and timing of Veklury revenues, the impact from Medicare Part D pricing reform in the Inflation Reduction Act, the expiration of subsidies related to the Affordable Care Act, our most-favored-nation pricing agreement with the U.S. government, changes in U.S. regulatory or legislative policies, and changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs; Gilead’s ability to make progress on any of its long-term ambitions or priorities laid out in its corporate strategy; Gilead’s ability to accelerate or sustain revenues for its virology, oncology, inflammation and other programs; Gilead’s ability to realize the potential benefits of acquisitions, collaborations or licensing arrangements, including the arrangements with Arcellx, Galapagos, Genhouse, Ouro, PEPFAR, The Global Fund, and Tubulis; the possibility that various closing conditions for any proposed acquisitions, collaborations or licensing arrangements may not be satisfied or waived, including that a governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of any such transaction; the risk that Gilead’s U.S. manufacturing and R&D investment may not achieve their intended benefits; patent protection and estimated loss of exclusivity for our products and product candidates; Gilead’s ability to initiate, progress or complete clinical trials within currently anticipated timeframes or at all, the possibility of unfavorable results from ongoing and additional clinical trials, including those involving Tecartus, bictegravir, and lenacapavir, (such as ARTISTRY-1, ARTISTRY-2, and ZUMA-2), and the risk that safety and efficacy data from clinical trials may not warrant further development of Gilead’s product candidates or the product candidates of Gilead’s strategic partners; Gilead’s ability to resolve the issues cited by the FDA in pending clinical holds to the satisfaction of the FDA and the risk that FDA may not remove such clinical holds, in whole or in part, in a timely manner or at all; Gilead’s ability to submit new drug applications for new product candidates or expanded indications in the currently anticipated timelines; Gilead’s ability to receive or maintain regulatory approvals in a timely manner or at all, and the risk that any such approvals, if granted, may be subject to significant limitations on use and may be subject to withdrawal or other adverse actions by the applicable regulatory authority, including those involving BIC/LEN and anito-cel; Gilead’s ability to successfully commercialize its products; the risk of potential disruptions to the manufacturing and supply chain of Gilead’s products; pricing and reimbursement pressures from government agencies and other third parties, including required rebates and other discounts; a larger than anticipated shift in payer mix to more highly discounted payer segments; market share and price erosion caused by the introduction of generic versions of Gilead products; the risk that physicians and patients may not see advantages of Gilead’s products over other therapies and may therefore be reluctant to prescribe the products, including Tecartus; Gilead’s ability to effectively manage the access strategy relating to lenacapavir for HIV PrEP, subject to necessary regulatory approvals; and other risks identified from time to time in Gilead’s reports filed with the SEC, including annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. In addition, Gilead makes estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. Gilead bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market specific and other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There may be other factors of which Gilead is not currently aware that may affect matters discussed in the forward-looking statements and may also cause actual results to differ significantly from these estimates. Further, results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any future periods. Gilead directs readers to its press releases, annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and other subsequent disclosure documents filed with the SEC. Gilead claims the protection of the Safe Harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for forward-looking statements.

The reader is cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and is cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to Gilead and Gilead assumes no obligation to update or supplement any such forward-looking statements other than as required by law. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof or as of the dates indicated in the statements.

Additional information is available on our Investor Relations website, https://investors.gilead.com. Among other things, an estimate of Acquired IPR&D expenses is expected to be made available on the Quarterly Results page within the first ten (10) days after the end of each quarter.

________________________________

NM – Not Meaningful

(1)

 

Our full-year guidance excludes the potential impact of any (i) acquisitions or business development transactions that have not been executed, (ii) future fair value adjustments of equity securities and (iii) discrete tax charges or benefits associated with changes in tax related laws and guidelines that have not been enacted, as Gilead is unable to project such amounts. The non-GAAP full-year guidance includes non-GAAP adjustments to actual current period results as well as adjustments for the known future impact associated with events that have already occurred, such as future amortization of our intangible assets and the future impact of discrete and related deferred tax charges or benefits primarily associated with transfers of intangible assets from a foreign subsidiary to Ireland and the United States.

(2)

 

The GAAP and non-GAAP projected effective tax rates for the May 7, 2026 guidance update include the impact of forecasted Acquired IPR&D expenses related to the acquisitions of Arcellx, Ouro and Tubulis, which are not deductible for tax purposes. Without these Acquired IPR&D expenses, the GAAP and non-GAAP projected effective tax rate for FY26 would be ~22% and ~20%, respectively.
