Third Quarter 2023 Segment Commentary:

Adjusted operational sales* reflected below excludes the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures and translational currency.

Innovative Medicine

Innovative Medicine worldwide adjusted operational sales grew 4.4%*. Excluding the COVID-19 Vaccine, operational sales grew 8.2%*. Growth was driven by DARZALEX (daratumumab), ERLEADA (apalutamide), Other Oncology, and CARVYKTI (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) in Oncology, STELARA (ustekinumab), TREMFYA (guselkumab), and SIMPONI/SIMPONI ARIA (golimumab) in Immunology, SPRAVATO (esketamine) in Neuroscience, and UPTRAVI (selexipag) in Pulmonary Hypertension. Growth was partially offset by COVID-19 Vaccine (Ad26.COV2.S) in Infectious Diseases, ZYTIGA (abiraterone acetate) and IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) in Oncology, and REMICADE (infliximab) in Immunology.

MedTech

MedTech worldwide adjusted operational sales grew 6.0%*, driven primarily by electrophysiology products in Interventional Solutions, wound closure products in General Surgery, contact lenses in Vision, and biosurgery in Advanced Surgery. MedTech worldwide operational sales grew 10.4%*, with the acquisition of Abiomed contributing 4.6%.

Full-Year 2023 Guidance:

Johnson & Johnson does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, and purchase accounting fair value adjustments without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Johnson & Johnson’s results computed in accordance with GAAP.

Notes:

1

COVID-19 Vaccine related costs include remaining commitments and obligations, including external manufacturing network exit costs and required clinical trial expenses, associated with the Company’s completion of its COVID-19 vaccine contractual commitments.

2

In fiscal 2023, the company completed a prioritization of its research and development (R&D) investment within the Innovative Medicine segment to focus on the most promising medicines with the greatest benefit to patients. This resulted in the exit of certain programs within therapeutic areas. The R&D program exits are primarily in infectious diseases and vaccines including the discontinuation of its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) adult vaccine program, hepatitis and HIV development. The restructuring expenses of $149 million in the quarter ($424 million Q3 YTD) include the termination of partnered and non-partnered program costs and asset impairments.
In the third quarter of 2023, the company initiated a restructuring program of its Orthopaedics franchise within the MedTech segment to streamline operations by exiting certain markets, product lines and distribution network arrangements. The restructuring expense in the quarter of $235 million primarily includes inventory and instrument reserves related to the market and product exits.

3

European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) costs represent one-time compliance costs for the Company’s previously registered products. MDR is a replacement of the existing European Medical Devices Directive regulatory framework, and manufacturers of currently marketed medical devices were required to comply with EU MDR beginning in May 2021. The Company considers the adoption of EU MDR to be a significant one-time regulatory change and is not indicative of on-going operations. The Company has excluded only external third-party regulatory and consulting costs from its MedTech operating segments’ measures of profit and loss used for making operating decisions and assessing performance which is expected to be completed during 2024.

4

The tax impact related to special item adjustments reflects the current and deferred income taxes associated with the above pre-tax special items in arriving at adjusted earnings.
