What management said

  • These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled with the comparable GAAP financial measures in our earnings news release and regulatory filings from today, which are available on our website at abbott.com.
  • Unless otherwise noted, our commentary on sales growth refers to organic sales growth, which is defined in the press release issued earlier today.
  • Our sales growth excluded COVID testing sales was 7.5% in the second quarter and 8% in the first half of the year.
  • Our second quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.26 exceeded the consensus estimate and reflects 11% growth versus the prior year and 16% growth on a sequential basis compared to the first quarter.
  • Growth in the quarter was driven by 6.5% growth in adult nutrition, where Abbott is the global market leader.
  • Together, these represent a projected headwind of around $700 million or 750 basis points on the full year 2025 sales growth in diagnostics.
  • Excluding China, Core Lab Diagnostics grew 8%, reflecting strong underlying demand in the markets around the world.
  • These markets represent the most attractive areas of growth for branded generic medicines.
  • The growth in these markets is supported by favorable long-term healthcare, economic, and demographic trends, including higher birth rates, an expanding middle-class aging population, and growing demand for access to high-quality healthcare solutions.
  • We serve this growing demand by offering a broad portfolio of branded generic medicines tailored to local conditions with a focus on key therapeutic areas.
  • I'll wrap up with medical devices, where sales grew 12%, driven by double-digit growth in diabetes care, heart failure, structural heart, electrophysiology, and cardiac rhythm management.
  • In diabetes care, sales of continuous glucose monitors were $1.9 billion in the quarter and grew 19.5%.
