Oncology products achieved operational sales growth of 16.1% as compared to the same period a year ago. Contributors to the growth were: DARZALEX (daratumumab) driven by strong share gains and market growth, CARVYKTI (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) driven by continued share gains and site expansion, TECVAYLI (teclistamab-cqyv) driven by launch uptake and share gains from the U.S. TECVAYLI + DARZALEX FASPRO approval and expansion in the community setting, TALVEY (talquetamab-tgvs) driven by share gains from expansion in the community setting, RYBREVANT (amivantamab)/LAZCLUZE (lazertinib) driven by launch uptake and share gains and ERLEADA (apalutamide) due to continued share gains and market growth partially offset by unfavorable patient mix and inventory dynamics. Growth was partially offset by a decline in IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) sales due to share loss from competitive pressures and unfavorable patient mix.
Immunology products experienced an operational decline of 4.6% as compared to the same period a year ago due to the sales decline of STELARA (ustekinumab) driven by the impact of biosimilar competition, increasing adoption of novel classes and unfavorable patient mix as well as declines of SIMPONI/SIMPONI ARIA (golimumab) and REMICADE (infliximab) driven by share loss, biosimilar competition, and unfavorable patient mix partially offset by market growth. The decline was partially offset by growth of TREMFYA (guselkumab) due to share gains across all indications with significant IBD launch momentum and market growth as well as growth in Other Immunology driven by sales of IMAAVY (nipocalimab) and ICOTYDE (icotrokinra) in the U.S.
The Company expects STELARA biosimilars to continue to negatively impact the Company’s sales of STELARA. Biosimilars for SIMPONI have entered the European market in the second quarter of 2026, with a potential U.S. entrant later in 2026. This will likely result in a reduction in future sales.
Neuroscience products achieved operational growth of 13.4% as compared to the same period a year ago. The sales growth of SPRAVATO (esketamine) was driven by continued increased physician and patient demand. Growth of CAPLYTA (lumateperone) was driven by strong continued momentum in the adjunctive treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (aMDD) launch. Growth of INVEGA SUSTENNA / XEPLION / INVEGA TRINZA / TREVICTA was primarily driven by favorable patient mix partially offset by share loss and inventory dynamics.
Pulmonary Hypertension products achieved operational sales growth of 2.2% as compared to the same period a year ago. The sales growth of UPTRAVI (selexipag) was driven by market and share growth partially offset by unfavorable patient mix. The sales growth of OPSUMIT (macitentan)/OPSYNVI (macitentan/tadalafil) was driven by share gains and market growth partially offset by the U.S. inventory burn related to expected generic competition. Generic competition for OPSUMIT entered the U.S. market late in the second quarter of 2026, which will likely result in a reduction in future sales.
Infectious disease products experienced an operational sales decline of 6.3% as compared to the same period a year ago. The sales decrease of PREZISTA/ PREZCOBIX/ REZOLSTA/ SYMTUZA was driven by declines in share and market partially offset by favorable patient mix.
Cardiovascular / Metabolism / Other products experienced an operational sales decline of 4.7% as compared to the same period a year ago. The sales decline was partially offset by an increase in XARELTO (rivaroxaban) sales primarily driven by favorable patient mix partially offset by continued share erosion.
The Company maintains a policy that no end customer will be permitted direct delivery of product to a location other than the billing location. This policy impacts contract pharmacy transactions involving non-grantee 340B covered entities for most of the Company’s drugs, subject to multiple exceptions. Both grantee and non-grantee covered entities can maintain certain contract pharmacy arrangements under policy exceptions. The Company has been and will continue to offer 340B discounts to covered entities on all of its covered outpatient drugs, and it believes its policy will improve its ability to identify inappropriate duplicate discounts and diversion prohibited by the 340B statute. The 340B Drug Pricing Program is a U.S. federal government program requiring drug manufacturers to provide significant discounts on covered outpatient drugs to covered entities.

The Cardiovascular franchise achieved operational sales growth of 3.1% as compared to the prior year fiscal second quarter. Electrophysiology sales growth was driven by procedure growth, commercial execution and new product performance (VARIPULSE, TRUPULSE, NUVISION and CRYSTAL) partially offset by competitive pressures in Pulsed Field Ablation catheters and China inventory dynamics. Abiomed sales decline was driven by lower U.S. procedure volumes partially offset by continued growth outside the U.S. including sustained adoption of Impella 5.5. Shockwave sales growth was driven by strong adoption of Coronary and Peripheral portfolios and new product launches.
The Surgery franchise achieved operational sales growth of 2.3% as compared to the prior year fiscal second quarter. The operational growth in Advanced Surgery was primarily due to the strength of the portfolio and commercial execution in Biosurgery and new product launches in Energy. This was partially offset by China volume-based procurement across all platforms, the impact of the surgery transformation program in Biosurgery and Energy and competitive pressures in Endocutters. The operational growth in General Surgery was primarily driven by technology penetration and upgrades within the differentiated Wound Closure portfolio coupled with market expansion partially offset by China volume-based procurement.
The Vision franchise achieved operational sales growth of 5.6% as compared to the prior year fiscal second quarter. The Contact Lenses/Other operational growth was driven by strong performance in the ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day family of products including recent launches and strategic price actions partially offset by inventory dynamics. The Surgical operational growth was primarily driven by the strength of recent product innovations, robust demand and strong commercial execution partially offset by competitive pressures in the U.S.
The Orthopaedics franchise achieved operational sales growth of 4.2% as compared to the prior year fiscal second quarter. The operational growth in Hips was due to new product launches. The operational growth in Knees was driven by the strength of the ATTUNE portfolio driven in part by pull through related to the VELYS Robotic assisted solutions. The operational growth in Trauma was primarily driven by recently launched products. The operational growth in Spine, Sports & Other was driven by new product innovations as well as growth in shoulders partially offset by competitive pressures and inventory dynamics.
In October 2025, the Company announced its intention to separate its Orthopaedics business. The Company continues to explore multiple paths to effect the planned separation with a targeted completion within 18 to 24 months after the initial announcement.

Economic and market factors
The Company operates in certain countries where the economic conditions continue to present significant challenges. The Company continues to monitor these situations and take appropriate actions. Inflation rates and currency exchange rates continue to have an effect on worldwide economies and, consequently, on the way the Company operates. The Company has accounted for operations in Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey and Egypt as highly inflationary, as the prior three-year cumulative inflation rate surpassed 100%. In the face of increasing costs, the Company strives to maintain its profit margins through cost reduction programs, productivity improvements and periodic price increases.
The long-term implications of regional conflicts on the Company are difficult to predict. The financial impact of known existing conflicts in the fiscal second quarter of 2026 was not material.
Governments around the world consider various proposals to make changes to tax laws, which may include increasing or decreasing existing statutory tax rates. In connection with various government initiatives, companies are required to disclose more information to tax authorities on operations around the world, which may lead to greater audit scrutiny of profits earned in other countries. A change in statutory tax rate in any country would result in the revaluation of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities related to that particular jurisdiction in the period in which the new tax law is enacted. This change would result in an expense or benefit recorded to the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The Company closely monitors these proposals as they arise in the countries where it operates. Changes to the statutory tax rate may occur at any time, and any related expense or benefit recorded may be material to the fiscal quarter and year in which the law change is enacted.
The Company may be further impacted by the imposition of tariffs, trade protection measures or other policies adopted by any jurisdiction that favor domestic companies and technologies over foreign competitors.
The Company faces various worldwide health care changes that may continue to result in pricing pressures that include health care cost containment and government legislation relating to sales, promotions and reimbursement of health care products.
Changes in the behavior and spending patterns of purchasers of healthcare products and services, including delaying medical procedures, rationing prescription medications, reducing the frequency of physician visits and foregoing healthcare insurance coverage, may continue to impact the Company’s businesses.

The Company faces regular intellectual property challenges from third parties, including generic and biosimilar manufacturers, seeking to manufacture and market generic and biosimilar versions of key pharmaceutical products prior to the expiration of the applicable patents. These challengers file Abbreviated New Drug Applications or abbreviated Biologics License Applications with the FDA or otherwise challenged the coverage and/or validity of the Company’s patents. In the event the Company is not successful in defending the patent claims challenged in the resulting lawsuits, generic or biosimilar versions of the products at issue may be introduced to the market, resulting in the potential for substantial market share and revenue losses for those products, and which may result in a non-cash impairment charge in any associated intangible asset. There is also risk that one or more competitors could launch a generic or biosimilar version of the product at issue following regulatory approval even though one or more valid patents are in place.
