By GlobalDataThe company’s higher realised prices were notably caused by its product Mounjaro in the US market, although this was partially offset by lower prices for other key products such as Humalog and Trulicity.
In the US, revenue soared by 39% to $6.46bn, fuelled by a 27% increase in realised prices and a 12% rise in volume.
Outside the US, revenue climbed by 10% to $2.90bn, propelled by volume growth and positive foreign exchange rates, despite a decrease due to lower realised prices.
Additionally, the dividends paid per share increased by 15% to $1.13 from $0.98 in the same quarter of the previous year.
The company’s full-year 2023 revenue was $34.12bn, a 20% increase from $28.54bn in 2022 while its net income dropped 16% to $5.24bn in 2023 against $6.24bn in 2022.
