Financial Performance Trend
Overall Analysis & Outlook
Over the past 5 quarters, Gilead Sciences Inc. has been showing bearish trends with stable guidance. Revenue has grown 5.5% during this period. The latest quarter shows neutral sentiment with cautious tone from management.
Latest Quarter Highlights:
Gilead delivered Q1 2026 revenue of $6.96 billion (+4% YoY) and net income of $2.02 billion (+54% YoY), driven by strong HIV portfolio growth (Biktarvy +7%, Descovy +38%) and Trodelvy momentum (+37%), partially offset by Veklury decline (-52% due to lower COVID hospitalizations) and cell therapy headwinds. However, management guidance is cautious as the company expects ~$11.5 billion in IPR&D charges in Q2 2026 from major acquisitions (Arcellx, Tubulis, Ouro), resulting in anticipated net loss for Q2 and full year 2026. The company maintains strong pricing power and operating cash flow generation ($2.54B in Q1), but faces ongoing litigation risks and competitive pressures in cell therapy.

"As a result of the recent acquisitions completed or announced above, we expect to record related charges of approximately $11.5 billion to Acquired in-process research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2026, which we expect to result in a net loss for the second quarter and full year 2026."
"HIV product sales increased 10% to $5.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher demand and average realized price, partially offset by unfavorable inventory dynamics."
"Cell Therapy product sales decreased 12% to $407 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower demand reflecting ongoing competitive headwinds."
Q4 2025
10-K • Filed 2/24/2026
Summary
Gilead reported 2% revenue growth to $29.4B and significant net income improvement to $8.5B in 2025, driven by strong HIV product sales growth (6%) and Liver Disease expansion, partially offset by Veklury decline (49% decrease due to lower COVID-19 hospitalizations). The company faces substantial regulatory headwinds including Medicare price negotiation, MFN pricing mandates, and tariff threats, though management has secured a 3-year tariff pause agreement. Management maintains neutral outlook with expected continued product sales growth offset by policy impacts and competitive pressures in Cell Therapy.

"During 2025, we delivered growth in our HIV product sales, introduced Yeztugo, the first and only twice-yearly HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis option available in the U.S., and expanded Livdelzi's market share in the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis."
"As we look to 2026, we expect to see continued growth for our product sales overall, bolstered by increased demand in our HIV business. We anticipate that such growth will be partially offset by the impact of various policy-related developments in the U.S."
"In December 2025, Gilead reached an agreement with the administration to (1) pause the imposition of Section 232 tariffs on Gilead for three years, (2) implement MFN prices in Medicaid for select existing and future launched products, (3) set a new direct-to-patient price for Epclusa and (4) return a portion of increased international revenues to the U.S."
Q3 2025
10-Q • Filed 11/7/2025
Summary
Gilead reported Q3 2025 revenue of $7.77B (+3% YoY) with net income of $3.05B, significantly improved from Q3 2024's $1.25B primarily due to absence of prior-year $1.75B IPR&D impairment charges. The company recognized a $190M impairment on bulevirtide IPR&D in Q2 2025 due to competitive pressures. Cash generation remains strong with 9-month operating cash flow of $6.69B and disciplined capital allocation including $1.69B in share repurchases and $3.01B in dividend payments. The company is reducing headcount through ongoing restructuring ($101M in 9-month charges) and faces substantial litigation headwinds including antitrust suits on HIV drugs and product liability cases involving ~23,000 plaintiffs.

Q2 2025
10-Q • Filed 8/7/2025
Summary
Gilead delivered Q2 2025 revenue of $7.1B (+1.8% YoY) and net income of $1.96B (+21.5% YoY), driven by solid performance in HIV (particularly Biktarvy growth) and oncology offset by challenges in liver disease. The company recorded a $190M impairment on bulevirtide IPR&D due to increased competitive pressures, demonstrating cautious outlook on certain programs. Strategic partnerships with LEO Pharma ($250M upfront) and continued equity stakes in Galapagos and Arcus signal ongoing M&A and collaboration activity, though significant legal headwinds from antitrust, product liability, and patent litigation remain.

Q1 2025
10-Q • Filed 5/7/2025
Summary
Gilead delivered flat Q1 2025 revenues of $6.7 billion despite headwinds from lower Veklury sales (COVID-19 decline) and Medicare Part D redesign, offset by strong HIV growth (+6%, driven by Biktarvy and Descovy) and new Liver Disease products. Q1 net income of $1.3 billion swung sharply positive versus prior year's $4.2B loss, primarily due to non-repeat of $3.9B CymaBay IPR&D charge and $2.4B Trodelvy impairment, though current period was pressured by $253M LEO Pharma IPR&D expense and $426M equity investment losses. The company continues workforce reduction (restructuring charges of $74M in Q1) while maintaining robust cash generation ($1.76B operating cash flow) and strategic partnerships (LEO Pharma, Galapagos separation), though faces material litigation risks including antitrust claims and product liability exposure.

"Total revenues of $6.7 billion remained relatively flat for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower Veklury and Oncology sales being mostly offset by higher HIV and Liver Disease sales."
"HIV product sales increased 6% to $4.6 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher demand and higher average realized price, inclusive of the impact of the redesign of the U.S. Medicare Part D program."
"If future events result in adverse changes in the key assumptions used in determining fair value, including the timing of product launches, information on the competitive landscape of treatments in this indication, changes to the probability of technical or regulatory success, failure to obtain anticipated regulatory approval or discount rate, among others, additional impairments may be recorded and could be material to our financial statements."
Q4 2024
10-K • Filed 2/28/2025
Summary
Gilead delivered 6% revenue growth to $28.8B in 2024 driven by strong HIV product performance (8% growth), Oncology expansion, and Liver Disease growth, though net income collapsed to $480M from $5.7B due to $4.2B Trodelvy NSCLC impairment charges and $3.8B CymaBay acquisition costs. Operating cash flow strengthened to $10.8B, but management's 2025 outlook is cautious, expecting volume growth offset by IRA pricing pressures, Veklury declines, and FX headwinds.

"We anticipate that strong, demand-led volume growth in 2025 will be offset by: (i) the effects of the Inflation Reduction Act, which is expected to increase our payment obligations under the redesigned Medicare Part D discount program; (ii) an expected decrease in our Veklury product sales reflecting lower rates of COVID-19-related hospitalizations; and (iii) the impact of the U.S. dollar strengthening against major foreign currencies."
"Total revenues increased 6% to $28.8 billion in 2024, compared to 2023, primarily due to higher sales in HIV, Oncology and Liver Disease, partially offset by lower sales of Veklury."
"Net income attributable to Gilead was $480 million...The decrease was primarily due to: A pre-tax IPR&D partial impairment charge of $4.2 billion related to Trodelvy IPR&D assets"
Q3 2024
10-Q • Filed 11/12/2024
Summary
Gilead reported Q3 2024 revenue of $7.5B (up 7.0% YoY) and net income of $1.3B, but year-to-date results reflect a $1.3B net loss due to $4.2B in IPR&D impairments related to failed Trodelvy NSCLC trials and the $3.9B CymaBay acquisition. The company demonstrated pricing power with HIV product growth (Biktarvy +12.5% YoY in Q3), but is facing significant regulatory headwinds including generic litigation, antitrust claims, and the voluntary withdrawal of accelerated approval for Trodelvy. Restructuring charges of $112M YTD indicate workforce optimization amid strategic portfolio challenges.

"Generic manufacturers have sought and may continue to seek FDA approval for a similar or identical drug through an abbreviated new drug application ('ANDA'), the application form typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug.
