Its neuroscience portfolio showed resilience with an 18.2% increase in global net revenues, reaching $7.72bn.
The aesthetics portfolio, however, recorded a slight decrease of 0.8%, with revenues of $5.29bn.
AbbVie has provided an adjusted diluted EPS guidance range for 2024 between $11.05 and $11.25.
The forecast includes a $0.32 per share dilutive impact due to the anticipated mid-2024 acquisitions of ImmunoGen and Cerevel Therapeutics.
AbbVie chairman and CEO Richard Gonzalez stated: “2023 was another outstanding year, marked by strong operational execution and significant overperformance from our non-Humira growth platform. During the year, we meaningfully increased research and development investment and bolstered our pipeline with the proposed ImmunoGen and Cerevel Therapeutics acquisitions.
“2024 is an exciting year for AbbVie, as we are well positioned to fully absorb Humira erosion and achieve modest operational revenue growth, followed by a return to robust growth in 2025 and a high single-digit compound annual growth rate through the end of the decade.”
