Global healthcare company Mylan has reported its revenue declined by 5% in the second quarter (Q2) of 2018 to $2.81bn with net sales in North America falling by 22% to $1bn.
Mylan’s total net sales fell by 6% from $2.93bn in 2017 to $2.76bn due to a decline in sales from existing products due to lower volumes and pricing, as well as a $12.9m negative impact from the adoption of new accounting standards. Foreign currently translation favourably impacted revenue by $65.5m.

The reduction in net sales in North America was the result of lower volumes of existing products, including EpiPen, a slight decline in pricing, $24.9m from the adoption of new accounting standards and the timing of purchases and actions associated with restructuring at its Morgantown manufacturing facility. This was partially offset by new product sales.
Europe’s net sales grew by 4% from $954.3m in Q2 2017 to $990.6m. The growth was primarily fuelled by the favourable impact of foreign currency translation of $68.4m (7%), which was partially offset by a decline in new product sales, the reduction in pricing and volumes, as well as 3% lower constant currency net sales.
Sales in the rest of the world grew 10% to $764.1m driven by new product sales, particularly from the anti-retroviral therapy franchise, partially offset by lower pricing and negative impact of foreign currency translation of $6.6m (1%).
Mylan CEO Heather Bresch said: “During the second quarter, Mylan continued to do its part to expand access to medicine around the world. Our Europe and Rest of World segments continue to deliver growth in line with our expectations. However, our efforts to serve patients in the US have been shaped by the industry’s transformation there, and our results and guidance for 2018 are directly correlated with the ongoing rebasing of the U.S. healthcare environment.”
