Q1 2026 earnings summary7 May, 2026

Executive summary

  • Q1 2026 revenues rose 4% year-over-year to $7.0 billion, with base business sales up 8% to $6.8 billion, driven by HIV (+10%), oncology (+37% Trodelvy), and liver disease (+230% Livdelzi), offset by declines in Veklury and cell therapy.

  • Net income increased 54% to $2.0 billion, with non-GAAP diluted EPS up 12% to $2.03, reflecting higher product sales and net unrealized gains from equity securities.

  • Major acquisitions (Arcellx, Tubulis, Ouro Medicines) were completed or announced, expanding oncology and inflammation portfolios and strengthening the pipeline.

  • FDA accepted key filings for new HIV and oncology therapies, with full approval for Tecartus in mantle cell lymphoma and multiple regulatory milestones expected in 2026.

  • Full-year 2026 revenue guidance was raised by $400M to $30.0–$30.4B, reflecting robust commercial execution and product launches.

Financial highlights

  • Q1 2026 total product sales were $6.9 billion, up 5% year-over-year; excluding Veklury, sales were $6.8 billion, up 8%.

  • HIV sales reached $5.0 billion (+10% YoY), led by Biktarvy ($3.4B, +7%) and Descovy ($807M, +38%).

  • Trodelvy sales rose 37% to $402 million; Livdelzi contributed to a 1% increase in liver disease sales.

  • Product gross margin improved to 87% (non-GAAP) and 79.2% (GAAP); operating margin reached 47% (non-GAAP) and 37.2% (GAAP).

  • Returned over $1.4B to shareholders in Q1, including $1B in dividends and $419M in share repurchases.

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year 2026 product sales guidance raised to $30.0–$30.4 billion; base business expected to grow 5–6% YoY.

  • HIV sales expected to grow 8% YoY; YEZTUGO 2026 sales guidance raised to $1B.

  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance reduced by ~$9.50 to $(1.05)–$(0.65) due to $11.5B in anticipated IPR&D charges and acquisition costs; excluding these, EPS would be $8.45–$8.85.

  • R&D expenses expected to grow at low single digits; SG&A at mid-single digits.

  • Guidance subject to risks from Veklury revenue, policy reforms, and integration of recent acquisitions.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
