Pfizer Slashes 2023 Revenue, Earnings Forecasts

Pfizer (PFE) on Friday lowered its 2023 earnings and revenue forecasts to account for changes in its supply agreement for Paxlovid with the US government. The revenue guidance was lowered to $58 billion to $61 billion from $67 billion to $70 billion previously, and full-year adjusted earnings per share are expected at $1.45 to $1.65 compared to $3.25 to $3.45 previously, the company said. Paxlovid is an oral COVID-19 medicine that was granted emergency use authorization by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2021 and a full nod in May 2023. In a change announced Friday, the US government is returning an estimated 7.9 million treatment courses of the emergency use authorized-labeled Paxlovid which will result in a non-cash revenue reversal of $4.2 billion, the company said. The lowering of the financial guidance reflects those changes, as well as a delay in the commercialization of Paxlovid to January from

Pfizer CEO Says Revised Paxlovid Contract Will Help Remove Covid-19 Uncertainty

Pfizer Chief Executive Albert Bourla expects the revised government contract for Paxlovid will help the pharmaceutical giant adjust to demand for Covid-19 products. Pfizer has seen slumping revenues from its Covid-19 vaccines and treatments, but the company’s new agreement with the government to take back unused Paxlovid courses will allow Pfizer to better predict demand, Bourla says. The revised deal will see Pfizer reverse a sizable chunk of revenue but will allow the company to quickly pivot to a commercial rollout of Paxlovid. Bourla says the company will now be able to better predict vaccine and treatment utilization going forward.

Pfizer Gets FDA OK of Drug Combination in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Pfizer has won expanded approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the combination of its Braftovi and Mektovi drugs for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with a BRAF V600E mutation. The New York drugmaker on Thursday said the approval gives adults with BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic non-small cell lung cancer a new personalized treatment option. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death around the world, with non-small cell lung cancer accounting for more than 80%. A BRAF V600E mutation occurs in roughly 2% of non-small cell lung cancer cases, Pfizer said. The Braftovi/Mektovi combination was previously approved in the U.S. for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation. Braftovi is also approved in combination with cetuximab for adults with metastatic colorectal cancer with a BRAF V600E mutation after prior therapy. Pfizer picked up Braftovi and Mektovi as part of
