Amgen has reported a 1% decline in total revenues to $6.65bn in the third quarter (Q3) of 2022 as against $6.7bn in the year-ago quarter.
For the quarter, total product sales were recorded at $6.2bn, a 1% drop from $6.3bn in Q3 2021.
The drop in global product sales led to the decline in total revenue for the third quarter of this year, the company noted.
For products such as Lumakras/Lumykras (sotorasib), Repatha (evolocumab), Evenity (romosozumab-aqqg), Parsabiv (etelcalcetide) and Vectibix (panitumumab), the sale volumes rose in double-digits.
The GAAP earnings per share (EPS) rose by 20% to $3.98 in the quarter from $3.31 in Q3 last year.
The growth in GAAP EPS was driven by a decline in operating expenses due to a $0.4bn licensing-linked upfront payment to Kyowa Kirin in Q3 2021 and reduced weighted-average shares outstanding in Q3 this year.
