## Earnings and guidance

- **August 4, 2026 (accession 0000882095-26-000028)** — Second quarter 2026 results: total revenue up 10% year-over-year to $7.8 billion; product sales excluding Veklury up 10% to $7.6 billion; Biktarvy sales up 7% to $3.8 billion. GAAP diluted loss per share was $(8.45) and non-GAAP diluted loss per share was $(6.75), driven by $11.2 billion of acquired IPR&D expense tied to the Arcellx, Tubulis and Ouro Medicines acquisitions (approximately $9.08 per share impact) plus a $1.75 billion IPR&D impairment related to assets acquired from Immunomedics. Cash, equivalents and marketable debt securities fell to $3.2 billion from $10.6 billion at year-end 2025, reflecting $11.3 billion of year-to-date acquisition outflows, $2.8 billion of debt repayment, $2.1 billion of dividends and $774 million of buybacks, partly offset by $4.1 billion of net debt-financing proceeds and $6.1 billion of operating cash flow. Full-year 2026 guidance was raised for product sales (to $30.1–$30.4 billion) and product sales excluding Veklury (to $29.8–$30.1 billion); full-year GAAP diluted loss-per-share guidance deepened to $(3.75)–$(3.40) from $(3.25)–$(2.85) as the excluded "Acquisition-related, IPR&D impairment, restructuring and other expenses" line rose to approximately $5,150 million from approximately $3,400 million, reflecting that impairment, taken on the discontinued EVOKE-03 study, while full-year non-GAAP diluted loss-per-share guidance narrowed to $(0.65)–$(0.30) from $(1.05)–$(0.65) on the stronger base business. The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.82 per share, payable September 29, 2026.

- **May 7, 2026 (accession 0000882095-26-000022)** — First quarter 2026 results: total revenue up 4% to $7.0 billion; product sales excluding Veklury up 8% to $6.8 billion; Biktarvy sales up 7% to $3.4 billion, aided by the launch of Yeztugo. GAAP diluted EPS was $1.61 versus $1.04 a year earlier; non-GAAP diluted EPS was $2.03 versus $1.81. Cash and marketable debt securities were $8.6 billion, down from $10.6 billion at year-end, after $2.8 billion of debt repayment and $1.0 billion of dividends. Full-year 2026 revenue guidance was raised (product sales to $30.0–$30.4 billion), while full-year diluted EPS guidance was cut sharply — to $(3.25)–$(2.85) GAAP and $(1.05)–$(0.65) non-GAAP, from $6.75–$7.15 and $8.45–$8.85 previously — to reflect approximately $11.5 billion of anticipated acquired-IPR&D charges from the pending Arcellx, Ouro Medicines and Tubulis transactions.

- **February 10, 2026 (accession 0000882095-26-000003)** — Fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results: full-year 2025 total revenue up 2% to $29.4 billion; full-year product sales excluding Veklury up 4% to $28.0 billion; Biktarvy full-year sales up 7% to $14.3 billion. Full-year 2025 GAAP diluted EPS was $6.78 (versus $0.38 in 2024) and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $8.15 (versus $4.62). Fourth-quarter revenue was $7.9 billion, up 5%. Cash and marketable debt securities were $10.6 billion at year-end 2025. Initial full-year 2026 guidance called for product sales of $29.6–$30.0 billion and GAAP diluted EPS of $6.75–$7.15 (non-GAAP $8.45–$8.85) — guidance issued before the Arcellx, Ouro Medicines and Tubulis acquisitions were announced.

- **October 30, 2025 (accession 0000882095-25-000044)** — Third quarter 2025 results: total revenue up 3% to $7.8 billion, including roughly $400 million of one-time royalty/contract revenue tied to a prior sale of intellectual property; product sales excluding Veklury up 4% to $7.1 billion; Biktarvy sales up 6% to $3.7 billion. GAAP diluted EPS was $2.43 versus $1.00 a year earlier, non-GAAP diluted EPS was $2.47 versus $2.02, aided by the non-recurrence of a $1.75 billion prior-year IPR&D impairment.

- **August 7, 2025 (accession 0000882095-25-000030)** — Second quarter 2025 results: total revenue up 2% to $7.1 billion; product sales excluding Veklury up 4% to $6.9 billion; Biktarvy sales up 9% to $3.5 billion. GAAP diluted EPS was $1.56 versus $1.29 a year earlier, including a $190 million pre-tax IPR&D impairment tied to assets from the MYR GmbH acquisition; non-GAAP diluted EPS was flat at $2.01. The company raised full-year 2025 revenue and earnings guidance at the time. FDA approved Yeztugo (lenacapavir), the first twice-yearly HIV prevention option, during the quarter.

- **April 24, 2025 (accession 0000882095-25-000009)** — First quarter 2025 results: total revenue was flat at $6.7 billion; product sales excluding Veklury up 4% to $6.3 billion; Biktarvy sales up 7% to $3.1 billion. GAAP diluted EPS was $1.04 versus a $(3.34) loss a year earlier, reflecting the non-recurrence of prior-year charges including a $3.9 billion acquired-IPR&D expense tied to the CymaBay Therapeutics acquisition and a $2.4 billion IPR&D impairment tied to assets acquired from Immunomedics. Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.81 versus a $(1.32) loss.

## Mergers and acquisitions

- **Arcellx acquisition — signed February 22, 2026, closed April 28, 2026.** Gilead entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Arcellx, Inc. via tender offer for $115.00 per share in cash plus one non-tradable contingent value right worth $5.00 per share, payable if cumulative worldwide sales of Arcellx's anitocabtagene autoleucel (anito-cel) exceed $6.0 billion by December 31, 2029 (8-K filed 2026-02-23, accession 0001104659-26-018314; merger agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1). Gilead also disclosed, in the same filing, that the FDA had accepted the Biologics License Application for anito-cel. The tender offer closed April 27, 2026 with roughly 77.2% of Arcellx shares tendered, and the merger closed April 28, 2026; Gilead reported the aggregate consideration paid to consummate the offer and merger, including payments for options and restricted stock units, was approximately $7.1 billion (8-K filed 2026-04-28, accession 0001104659-26-049874).

- **Tubulis GmbH acquisition — definitive agreement announced May 7, 2026, closed May 2026.** Gilead announced a definitive agreement to acquire Tubulis, a private clinical-stage antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) developer whose lead asset, TUB-040, is in Phase 1b/2 development for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. Per the second-quarter 2026 10-Q (accession 0000882095-26-000031, Note 6), Gilead "closed an agreement to acquire Tubulis GmbH ... for approximately $3.2 billion in cash consideration, net of cash acquired" in May 2026; the second-quarter 2026 earnings release (accession 0000882095-26-000028) had disclosed the deal at a $3.15 billion upfront figure.

- **Ouro Medicines, LLC acquisition — definitive agreement announced May 7, 2026, closed June 2026.** Gilead announced a definitive agreement to acquire Ouro, a private clinical-stage biotechnology company developing T-cell engager therapies for autoimmune disease, adding lead asset OM336 (gamgertamig), a BCMAxCD3 T-cell engager. At announcement (accession 0000882095-26-000022), Gilead described a framework agreement with Galapagos NV to equally split a $1.675 billion upfront payment and up to $500 million in milestone payments. Per the second-quarter 2026 10-Q (accession 0000882095-26-000031, Note 6), Gilead "closed an agreement to acquire Ouro Medicines ... for aggregate consideration of approximately $1.9 billion" in June 2026, comprised of approximately $1.6 billion in cash consideration net of cash acquired plus the fair value (approximately $277 million) of contingent consideration of up to $500 million. The acquisition was completed in collaboration with Lakefront Biotherapeutics NV (formerly Galapagos NV), which paid Gilead a non-refundable $860 million for its 50% share of the upfront consideration, leaving Gilead a net acquired-IPR&D charge of approximately $1.0 billion on the deal.

Together, the Arcellx, Tubulis and Ouro Medicines acquisitions drove approximately $11.1 billion of the $11.2 billion of acquired-IPR&D expense Gilead recognized in the second quarter of 2026 ($7.0 billion Arcellx + $3.1 billion Tubulis + $1.0 billion Ouro Medicines, net of Lakefront's $860 million offset; accession 0000882095-26-000031, Note 6/MD&A), the primary driver of Gilead's shift to a GAAP and non-GAAP diluted loss per share for the year. The $11.5 billion figure cited in the May 7, 2026 earnings release was an anticipated charge that this recognized amount has since superseded.
