Quarterly Financial Highlights

Despite a 30% decline in global sales of Humira, AbbVie's flagship arthritis drug, the company outperformed market predictions with sales of $2.81 billion, above the $2.76 billion forecasted.

Transition to Newer Immunology Drugs

AbbVie has been focusing on its newer immunology drugs, Skyrizi and Rinvoq, to mitigate the impact of declining Humira sales. Skyrizi's global sales surged 45% to $2.73 billion, beating expectations of $2.59 billion. Rinvoq also performed well, recording sales of $1.43 billion, surpassing Wall Street estimates of $1.36 billion. AbbVie now projects Skyrizi to achieve $11 billion in sales this year and Rinvoq $5.7 billion, reflecting increased market share and patient adoption.

Challenges and Strategic Responses
‍

AbbVie faces pressure on its cancer drug Imbruvica, which saw an 8% drop in sales to $833 million but still exceeded estimates of $789 million. Imbruvica is one of the first drugs selected for price negotiations under U.S. Medicare insurance plans, adding to the pricing pressure.
