Gilead Sciences has posted a net income of $2.17bn for the third quarter (Q3) of 2023 compared with $1.78bn in the same quarter of the previous year.
For the quarter ended 30 September 2023, diluted earnings per share (EPS) attributable to Gilead rose to $1.73 against $1.42 in the same quarter of 2024.
Non-GAAP [generally accepted accounting principles] diluted EPS also grew from $1.90 in Q3 2022 to $2.29 in Q3 2023.
Gilead attributed the rise in GAAP and non-GAAP diluted EPS chiefly to reduced tax expenses partly offset by increased net total expenditures.
Total revenues during the quarter stood at $7.05bn compared with $7.04bn during the same quarter of 2022.
The rise in sales of oncology and HIV products contributed to the revenue offset by reduced sales of Covid-19 treatment, Veklury (remdesivir), and chronic hepatitis C virus products.
