Guidance all at CER and excluding COVID-19
solutions
|
Emma Walmsley, Chief Executive Officer, GSK:
“We have
delivered another quarter of sales and core operating profit
growth, and further good progress in R&D. Strong growth in
specialty medicines helped to offset lower vaccine sales and
reflected successful new product launches in oncology and HIV, as
well as the resilience we have now built into GSK’s portfolio
and performance. Our pipeline continues to strengthen with 11
positive phase III trials reported so far this year and we are
currently planning launches for 5 major new product approval
opportunities next year: Blenrep, Depemokimab, Nucala for COPD, Gepotidacin, and our
new vaccine to prevent meningitis (MenABCWY). We also resolved the
vast majority of Zantac
litigation in the quarter, to remove uncertainty and so we can
focus forward. All this means we are on track to deliver our 2024
guidance, and we are even more confident in our 2026 and 2031
outlooks.”

The Total results are presented in summary above
and on page 8 and Core results reconciliations are presented on
pages 20 and 23. Core results are a non-IFRS measure that may be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior
to, information presented in accordance with IFRS. The following
terms are defined on page 52: Core results, £% or AER% growth,
CER% growth, COVID-19 solutions, turnover excluding COVID-19
solutions; and other non-IFRS measures. GSK provides guidance on a
Core results basis only, for the reasons set out on page 18. All
expectations, guidance and targets regarding future performance and
dividend payments should be read together with ‘Guidance and
outlooks, assumptions and cautionary statements’ on page 54.

polyps.
2024 Guidance
GSK
confirms its full-year sales, core profit and EPS guidance at
constant exchange rates (CER) and expects to deliver broadly around
the middle of the existing ranges. All guidance, expectations and
full-year growth rates exclude any contributions from COVID-19
solutions.
Despite
some challenges this quarter, particularly with lower than
anticipated vaccine demand and a tough comparator, GSK delivered
growth in both sales and core profits in the quarter at CER.
Specialty Medicines continue to grow strongly, particularly
reflecting successful new launches in Oncology and for long-acting
HIV medicines. General Medicines, including Trelegy, also continued to perform
better than expected.
Sales
are expected to grow between 7 to 9 per cent range at CER. Improved
sales performances in Specialty and General Medicines are expected
to offset lower sales growth of Vaccines this year, primarily due
to lower sales of Arexvy
and Shingrix. Key factors
driving Arexvy performance
are guideline restrictions, prioritisation of COVID vaccination in
the US, and an unfavourable comparison to the vaccine’s
outstanding launch last year.

Core
operating profit is expected to grow between 11 to 13 per cent at
CER. This is despite a 6 percentage point impact to operating
profit growth following the loss of the majority of Gardasil
royalties effective from the beginning of 2024. SG&A continues
to be expected to grow low-single digits, with effective cost
control driving operating leverage and further margin improvements.
R&D expenditure is expected to increase slightly below sales
growth and royalty income is expected to be around £600
million for the full year.
Core
earnings per share is expected to increase between 10 to 12 percent
at CER. Expectations for non-controlling interests remain unchanged
relative to 2023, and GSK continues to anticipate an increase in
the core effective tax rate to around 17% for the full year
following implementation of new global minimum corporate income tax
rules which came into effect from 1 January 2024 in line with the
Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development
‘Pillar 2’ model framework.
Additional commentary
Dividend
policy
The
Dividend policy and the expected pay-out ratio remain unchanged.
Consistent with this, and reflecting strong business performance
during the quarter, GSK has declared a dividend for Q3 2024 of 15p
per share and expects to declare a dividend of 60p per share for
the full year 2024.
COVID-19
solutions
For the
full year 2024, GSK does not anticipate any further COVID-19
pandemic-related sales or operating profit. Consequently, and in
comparison to 2023, it is anticipated that the full year growth in
sales and Core operating profit will be adversely impacted by one
and two percentage points, respectively.
Exchange
rates
If
exchange rates were to hold at the closing rates on 30 September
2024 ($1.34/£1, €1.20/£1 and Yen 191/£1) for
the rest of 2024, the estimated impact on 2024 Sterling turnover
growth for GSK would be -5% and if exchange gains or losses were
recognised at the same level as in 2023, the estimated impact on
2024 Sterling Core Operating Profit growth for GSK would be
-8%.
Results presentation
A
conference call and webcast for investors and analysts of the
quarterly results will be hosted by Emma Walmsley, CEO, at 12 noon
GMT (US EDT at 8 am) on 30 October 2024. Presentation
materials will be published on www.gsk.com prior to the webcast and
a transcript of the webcast will be published
subsequently.
Notwithstanding the
inclusion of weblinks, information available on the company’s
website, or from non GSK sources, is not incorporated by reference

In Q3 2024 and Total Vaccines sales decreased,
while in YTD ex COVID sales were broadly stable. Performance was
primarily impacted by lower sales of Arexvy with changes in ACIP guidelines, prioritisation of
COVID-19 vaccinations in the quarter, lower seasonal infections and
a tough comparator following launch stocking last year.
Shingrix
decreased in the quarter, but grew
YTD, as lower demand in the US more than offset growth in
International. Meningitis vaccines continued to show strong demand
with double-digit sales growth. The overall Vaccines YTD
performance was adversely impacted due to COVID-19 solution sales
in 2023.

Sales
of Shingrix, a vaccine
against herpes zoster (shingles), decreased in the quarter, while
continuing to grow YTD.
In the
US, sales in the quarter decreased by 23%. The US cumulative
immunisation penetration rate at the end of Q2 2024 reached 39% of
the more than 120 million US adults(1) currently
recommended to receive Shingrix, up six percentage
points(2)
since the end of Q2 2023. However the pace of increased penetration
is slowing reflecting the continued challenge of activating
harder-to-reach consumers. Shingrix sales YTD were also negatively
impacted by changes in retail vaccine prioritisation in part due to
a transition to a new CMS(3) rule that changed
how pharmacies process reimbursements from payers.
Shingrix grew significantly in
International in the quarter and YTD, driven by a national
immunisation programme in Australia and supply to our co-promotion
partner in China. In Europe, Shingrix decreased in the quarter and
YTD from lower demand in Germany partially offset by expanded
public funding in other countries. Markets outside the US now
represent 58% of Q3 2024 global sales (Q3 2023: 50%), with
Shingrix launched in 48
countries. The overwhelming majority of ex-US Shingrix opportunity is concentrated in
10 markets where the average immunisation rate is around
6%.

In Q3
2024 and YTD, Meningitis vaccines grew double-digit achieving
record quarterly sales. Bexsero, a vaccine against meningitis
B, grew primarily reflecting Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) purchasing patterns and favourable pricing mix in
the US, recommendation in Germany and the launch in Vietnam partly
offset by tender phasing in Europe during H1 2024. Growth of
Menveo, a vaccine against
meningitis ACWY, benefitted from CDC purchasing patterns in the US
and favourable H1 2024 delivery timing in
International.

Arexvy, a respiratory syncytial virus
(RSV) vaccine for older adults, declined in both the quarter and
YTD. US sales in Q3 2024 decreased due to a more restrictive
recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP) for individuals aged 60 to 74, prioritisation of
COVID vaccinations related to a resurgence of COVID-19 infection
rates and lower channel inventory versus significant launch
stocking in the prior year. Arexvy maintained around two-thirds of
the vaccination share YTD in retail where the overwhelming majority
of doses are administered. More than nine million of the 85 million
US adults(1) aged 60 and older
at risk have been protected by Arexvy since the launch in Q3 2023. The
performance in YTD also reflected new launch inventory build in
Australia and Brazil, initial tender deliveries in Saudi Arabia and
continued consumer uptake in Canada. While Arexvy is approved in 51 markets
globally, 16 countries had national RSV vaccination recommendations
for older adults and 6, including the US, had reimbursement
programmes in place at the quarter end.

Vaccines grew in Q3 2024, reflecting favourable CDC purchasing
patterns across several paediatric brands together with increased
demand for Boostrix. This
was partly offset by the timing of deliveries and competitive
pressure for Synflorix in
International. YTD sales were also impacted by adverse CDC
stockpile movements for Rotarix and Infanrix/Pediarix in the US, partly
offset by increased supply of measles, mumps, rubella, and
varicella (MMR/V) vaccines in International.

HIV
sales grew double digits in both the quarter and YTD, primarily
reflecting a 2 percentage point increase in market share compared
to the prior period. This was driven by strong patient demand for
Oral 2DR (Dovato, Juluca)
and long-acting medicines (Cabenuva, Apretude) and favourable
in-year pricing, including the positive impact from channel mix
related to adjustments to returns and rebates.

monoclonal antibody treatment for severe asthma, with additional
indications including chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps,
eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), and
hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). In Q3 2024, sales growth
continued to be strong, particularly in Europe and International
regions, reflecting higher patient demand for treatments addressing
eosinophilic-led disease.

In Q3
2024, strong Oncology sales growth continued driven by increasing
patient demand for Zejula,
a PARP(1)
inhibitor, Jemperli, a
PD-1(2)
blocking antibody, and Ojjaara/Omjjara, a daily JAK1/JAK2 and
ACVR1(3)
inhibitor. Jemperli, a
medicine for front-line treatment in combination with chemotherapy
for patients with dMMR/MSI-H primary advanced or recurrent
endometrial cancer, received US FDA approval in the quarter
expanding the indication to include all adult patients with primary
advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. Jemperli sales continued to grow
strongly with sales of £130 million delivered in the quarter.
Ojjaara/Omjjara, a
treatment for myelofibrosis patients with anaemia, launched in the
US in Q3 2023, in the UK and Germany in Q1 2024, and in Japan in Q3
2024, has seen strong uptake since launch and delivered £98
million of sales in the quarter.

Zejula, a PARP inhibitor treatment for
ovarian cancer, continues to grow globally across all regions with
sustained increase in patient demand and higher volumes, further
enhanced by positive price impacts in the US. Growth in the quarter
was adversely impacted by channel inventory build associated with
the launch of the tablet formulation in the US in Q3 2023,
partially offset by favourable impacts from comparator adjustments
to returns and rebates.

Sales include contributions from both the
Respiratory and Other General Medicine portfolios. In Q3 2024,
sales growth increased primarily driven by Trelegy, a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
and asthma medicine, with strong demand across all regions.
Performance was adversely impacted by the removal of the Average
Manufacturer Price (AMP) cap on Medicaid drug prices in the US.
This removal impacted Advair, Flovent,
and Lamictal due to significant pricing reductions, reduced
commercial contracting, and the decision to discontinue
branded Flovent. However, this has been fully offset by the
increased use of authorised generic versions of Advair and Flovent while, significantly, continuing to provide access
to patients.

In Q3
2024 and YTD, sales growth reflected Trelegy's strong performance in all
regions and the increased demand for Anoro, particularly in Europe and
International. Seretide/Advair also grew in the
quarter due to favourable impacts from comparator adjustments in
the US to return and rebates. As mentioned above, in the US adverse
impacts from the removal of the AMP cap were fully offset by the
increased use of authorised generic versions of Advair and Flovent, providing access to medicines
for patients.

Trelegy is the most prescribed single
inhaler triple therapy (SITT) treatment worldwide for COPD and
asthma. In Q3 2024 sales grew 16% with continued strong growth
across all regions, reflecting patient demand, single-inhaled
triple therapy class growth, and increased market share. YTD growth
of 31% was positively impacted by favourable US pricing impacts in
the first six months of 2024, including adjustments to return and
rebates, which moderated in Q3 2024.

Seretide/Advair is a combination
treatment used to treat asthma and COPD. In Q3 2024, sales grew 13%
reflecting growth in the US driven by favourable impacts from
comparator adjustments to returns and rebates, partially offset by
decreases in sales in Europe and International from continued
generic erosion by competitor products. The decline year to date
reflected continued generic erosion from competitor products in
Europe and International, partially offset by mid-single digit
growth in the US, driven by favourable impacts from comparator
adjustments to returns and rebates, and the continued use of
authorised generics offsetting the removal of the AMP cap on
Medicaid drug prices.

Vaccine
sales decreased in Q3 2024 and YTD primarily in Arexvy due to a more restrictive
recommendation from the from the Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP) for individuals aged 60 to 74, RSV vaccine
de-prioritisation in the current season due to earlier COVID-19
vaccination and lower channel inventory versus a significant launch
stocking in the comparator quarter. Shingrix also decreased reflecting
lower demand driven by the continued challenge of activating
harder-to-reach consumers. Established Vaccines grew due to
increased demand partly offset by adverse CDC stockpile
movements.
Specialty Medicines
growth continued in Q3 2024 and YTD driven by Oncology and HIV
performance and continued growth in Nucala and Benlysta.
General
Medicine’s growth in Q3 2024 and YTD was primarily driven by
increased demand for Trelegy, with strong volume growth
driven by patient demand, growth of the SITT market, and price
benefits from channel mix. Performance continues to be impacted
following the removal of the AMP cap on Medicaid drug prices, which
particularly impacted Advair, Flovent and Lamictal. This was fully offset by the
increased use of authorised generic versions of Advair and Flovent, providing access to medicines
for patients.

In Q3
2024, Vaccine sales growth was broadly flat driven by Bexsero recommendation in Germany and
increased Established vaccines sales partly offset by lower
Shingrix demand in Germany.
YTD sales also reflected Shingrix growth across several markets
following public funding expansion.
Specialty Medicines
sales grew in the quarter and YTD by a double-digit percentage due
to the performance in Oncology, Benlysta in immunology, and
Nucala in respiratory
including the impact of new indication launches. HIV growth
continued in the quarter and YTD at a high single digit
percentage.
General
Medicines sales were strong in the quarter with mid-single digit
growth, reflecting strong performance on Trelegy and Anoro, partially offset by declines
across other general medicines. YTD performance remains broadly
stable.

In Q3
2024, sales increased 8% which reflected year-on-year exchange
movements in several International markets compared to Q3
2023.
Vaccines' strong
growth in Q3 2024 and YTD was driven by Shingrix related to the national
immunisation programme in Australia and supply to our co-promotion
partner in China. Established vaccines sales declined in Q3 2024
impacted by the timing of deliveries across the region, lower
demand and competitive pressure for Synflorix and Cervarix, but grew YTD on increased
supply and higher demand for MMR/V vaccines and Boostrix.
Specialty
Medicine’s double-digit growth in the quarter and YTD was
driven by HIV, Nucala in
Respiratory, Benlysta in
Immunology, and Zejula in
Oncology.
General
Medicines sales grew low single digit percentage in the quarter and
YTD, with strong growth in Trelegy partially offset by a decrease
in other general medicine products.

Total
cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased in the quarter
primarily due to additional amortisation for Zejula and Jemperli.
Core
cost of sales as a percentage of sales was down in the quarter and
year to date. The quarter and year to date benefitted from price
benefits from channel mix and adjustments to returns and rebates in
the US, as well as ongoing mix benefits in higher margin Specialty
Medicines products. The quarter also benefitted from a favourable
comparator to adverse inventory provision adjustments in Q3
2023.

Total
SG&A growth in the quarter and year to date was primarily
driven by the increase in Significant legal costs reflecting a
charge of £1.8 billion ($2.3 billion) in relation to Zantac
for the State Courts Settlement, the Qui Tam Settlement, and the remaining
7% of pending state court product liability cases, partially offset
by reduced future legal costs (see details on page
38).
In the
quarter and year to date, Core SG&A improved as a percentage of
sales due to continued disciplined investment to support global
market expansion and disease awareness particularly for
Arexvy and Shingrix and investment behind
long-acting HIV medicines. The quarter also benefited from a
favourable comparator to Q3 2023 due to spend phasing and
investment behind the US launch of Arexvy in 2023. The year to date growth
was partly offset by a 2 percentage point favourable impact of the
reversal of the legal provision taken in Q1 2023 for the
Zejula royalty dispute,
following a successful appeal.

Total
R&D growth in the year to date is driven by an increase in Core
R&D expense, partly offset by lower impairment charges compared
with the same quarter and year to date in 2023.
Year to
date, Core R&D expense increased due to continued investment
across the portfolio. In Specialty Medicines, investment increased
to support late-stage clinical development programmes for
camlipixant (refractory chronic cough), the long acting TSLP asset
acquired as part of the Aiolos Bio, Inc. (Aiolos) acquisition, and
bepirovirsen (chronic hepatitis B), with ongoing strong investment
in depemokimab (asthma and eosinophilic inflammation). In Oncology,
investment increased in Jemperli (endometrial cancer), and
antibody-drug-conjugates including those acquired from Hansoh
Pharma at the end of 2023. This was partly offset by cost decreases
following the launches of Arexvy and Ojjaara, and progression to completion
of Zejula and Blenrep studies. In Vaccines, clinical
trial programmes associated with the pneumococcal Multi Antigen
Presenting System (MAPS) and mRNA continued to drive investment.
HIV investment increased on next-generation long-acting treatment
and preventative medicines.
These
were also the main drivers of Core R&D expense growth in the
quarter.

The
decrease in Total and Core royalty income in Q3 2024 and year to
date primarily reflected the cessation of the majority of Gardasil
royalties at the end of 2023, with Q3 2024 Gardasil royalties of
£8 million (Q3 2023: £189 million). This was partly
offset by increases in Kesimpta and Biktarvy
royalties.

In Q3
2024 the other operating expense reflected a charge of £359
million (Q3 2023: £576 million) principally arising from the
remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities (CCL)
primarily reflecting improved longer term HIV prospects partly
offset by favourable foreign currency movements, an increase in
liability for the Vaccines CCL, and the remeasurement of the
Pfizer, Inc. (Pfizer) put option. In the quarter, there were no
fair value movements recorded for Haleon plc (Haleon) shares (Q3
2023: £184 million gain) following the sale of the remaining
shares in May 2024. Other net income was comparable to the same
period last year at £24 million (Q3 2023: £25
million).
The
year to date other operating expense reflected a charge of
£1,422 million (YTD 2023: £116 million) principally
arising from the remeasurement of CCLs primarily reflecting
improved longer term HIV prospects partly offset by favourable
foreign currency movements, an increase in liability for the
Vaccines CCL, and remeasurement of the Pfizer put option. This was
partly offset by a fair value gain of £22 million (YTD 2023:
£154 million gain) on the retained stake in Haleon, as well as
higher other net income of £214 million (YTD 2023: £170
million).

Total
operating profit margin was lower in Q3 2024 and year to date
primarily due to a charge of £1.8 billion ($2.3 billion) for
the Zantac settlement (see
details on page 38), additional amortisation for Zejula and Jemperli, and no fair value movements
on Haleon shares (Q3 2023 and year to date fair value gain). This
was partly offset by lower charges in the quarter in the ViiV
Healthcare CCL reflecting favourable foreign currency movements
offset by improved longer term HIV prospects. In the year to date
higher CCL charges were driven by improved longer term HIV
prospects and other remeasurements, partly offset by favourable
foreign currency movements.
Core
operating profit in the quarter and year to date benefitted from
strong Specialty Medicines sales performance, with favourable
product and regional mix. This was partly offset by increased
investment in R&D and growth assets, and lower royalty income.
The year to date also includes a favourable impact from the
reversal of the legal provision taken in Q1 2023 for the
Zejula royalty dispute,
following a successful appeal. The adverse impact of lower sales of
COVID-19 solutions had minimal impact in the quarter on Core
operating profit growth and three percentage points year to date,
with minimal impact on Core operating profit margin.

The
decrease in net finance costs in Q3 2024 and year to date was
mainly driven by lower interest on short-term financing as a result
of cash received from the successful disposal of all Haleon shares
and savings from maturing bonds, partly offset by higher lease
interest expense. Year to date also benefitted from the net cost of
bond buybacks completed in Q1 2023.

The
effective tax rate on Total results reflected the different tax
effects of the various Adjusting items included in Total results,
including the impact of the Zantac settlement.
The
effective tax rate on Core profits is broadly in line with
expectations for the year and included the impact of new global
minimum corporate income tax rules which came into effect from 1
January 2024 in line with the OECD’s 'Pillar 2' model
framework. Issues related to taxation are described in Note 14,
‘Taxation’ in the Annual Report 2023. The Group
continues to believe it has made adequate provision for the
liabilities likely to arise from periods that are open and not yet
agreed by relevant tax authorities. The ultimate liability for such
matters may vary from the amounts provided and is dependent upon
the outcome of agreements with relevant tax
authorities.

The
increase in Total profit after taxation allocated to NCIs in the
quarter was primarily driven by higher ViiV Healthcare profits
(including a lower remeasurement loss on the CCL), partly offset by
lower net profits in some of the Group's other entities. The
decrease in the year to date Total profit after taxation allocated
to NCIs was driven by lower ViiV Healthcare Total profits
(including a higher remeasurement loss on the CCL) with an
allocation of £270 million (YTD 2023: £324 million),
partly offset by higher net profits in some of the Group's other
entities.
The
decrease in Core profit after taxation allocated to NCIs in Q3 2024
primarily reflected lower net profits in some of the Group’s
other entities with NCIs. The increase in the year to date Core
profit after taxation allocated to NCIs reflected higher core
profit allocations from ViiV Healthcare, with £462 million in
the year to date (YTD 2023: £412 million), as well as higher
net profits in some of the Group’s other entities with
NCIs.

The
decrease in the Q3 2024 and year to date Total EPS is primarily due
to a charge of £1.8 billion ($2.3 billion) for the
Zantac settlement (see
details on page 38).
The
increase in the Core EPS in the quarter primarily reflected the
growth in Core operating profit as well as lower finance costs and
lower non-controlling interests, partly offset by a higher
effective taxation rate. The increase in the year to date Core EPS
is driven by the growth in Core operating profit and lower finance
costs, partly offset by higher non-controlling interests and a
higher effective taxation rate. Lower sales of COVID-19 solutions
reduced Core EPS by three percentage points in the year to
date.

impact on results
The
results for Q3 2024 are based on average exchange rates,
principally $1.31/£1, €1.19/£1 and Yen192/£1.
The period-end exchange rates were $1.34/£1,
€1.20/£1 and Yen 191/£1. Comparative exchange rates

In Q3
2024 and year to date, the adverse currency impact primarily
reflected the strengthening of Sterling against the US Dollar,
Euro, Yen and emerging market currencies. Exchange gains or losses
on the settlement of intercompany transactions had a marginal
impact on Total and Core EPS.

Q3
2024
Cash
generated from operations for the quarter was £2,499 million
(Q3 2023: £2,508 million). The slight decrease primarily
reflected the timing of returns and rebates, including the impact
of the removal of the AMP cap, and various adverse movements in
other payables, including the phasing of trade payables. These were
largely offset by higher trade receivables in Q3 2023 due to the
outstanding 2023 launch of Arexvy in the US.
Total
contingent consideration cash payments in the quarter were
£309 million (Q3 2023: £281 million), including cash
payments made to Shionogi & Co. Ltd (Shionogi) of
£295 million (Q3 2023: £269 million). £305
million (Q3 2023: £278 million) of these were recognised
in cash flows from operating activities.
Free
cash inflow was £1,322 million for the quarter (Q3 2023:
£1,655 million). The decrease is driven by higher capital
expenditure on intangible assets including the £342 million
upfront payment to CureVac N.V (CureVac), higher tax payments and
higher dividends paid to non-controlling interests, partly offset
by higher proceeds from the sale of intangible assets.
9
months 2024
Cash
generated from operating activities was £5,275 million (9
months 2023: £4,415 million). The increase primarily reflected
higher Core operating profit, higher receivables' collections,
particularly for Arexvy,
and lower pension contributions. This was partly offset by the
timing of returns and rebates, including the impact of the removal
of the AMP cap.
Total
contingent consideration cash payments in 9 months 2024 were
£935 million (9 months 2023: £860 million),
including cash payments made to Shionogi of £900 million
(9 months 2023: £834 million). £924 million (9
months 2023: £853 million) of these were recognised in
cash flows from operating activities.
Free
cash inflow was £1,939 million for 9 months 2024 (9 months
2023: £1,314 million). The increase was primarily driven by
the increase in cash generated from operating activities, as well
as higher proceeds from the sale of intangible assets as well as
lower net interest paid and lower dividends paid to non-controlling
interests. These were partly offset by higher capital expenditure
on intangible assets including the £342 million upfront
payment to CureVac, and higher tax payments.
Total
Net debt
At 30
September 2024, net debt was £12,847 million, compared with
£15,040 million at 31 December 2023, comprising gross debt of
£16,059 million and cash and liquid investments of £3,212
million. See net debt information on page 42 and 43.
Net
debt decreased by £2,193 million primarily due to £1,939
million free cash inflow and £2,354 million proceeds from the
disposal of investments, primarily the sale of the remaining
retained stake in Haleon, and exchange on net debt of £504
million. This was partly offset by the net acquisition costs of
Aiolos and Elsie Biotechnologies for £748 million, and
dividends paid to shareholders of £1,832 million.
At 30
September 2024, GSK had short-term borrowings (including overdrafts
and lease liabilities) repayable within 12 months of £2,815
million and £1,417 million repayable in the subsequent
year.

Trust: progress on our six priority
areas for responsible business
Building Trust by operating responsibly is
integral to GSK’s strategy and culture. This will support
growth and returns to shareholders, reduce risk, and help
GSK’s people thrive while delivering sustainable health
impact at scale. The Company has identified six Environmental,
Social, and Governance (ESG) focus areas that address what is most
material to GSK’s business and the issues that matter the
most to its stakeholders. Highlights below include activity since
Q2 2024 results. For more details on annual updates, please
see GSK's
ESG Performance Report 2023(1).
Access
Commitment:
to make GSK’s vaccines and
medicines available at value-based prices that are sustainable for
the business and implement access strategies that increase the use
of GSK’s vaccines and medicines to treat and protect
underserved people.
Progress since
Q2 2024:
|
|
|
|
●
|
In
October ViiV Healthcare announced a commitment to make at least two
million doses of CAB LA for PrEP available for procurement in
low-and middle-income countries during 2025-2026. This new
commitment triples the available supply versus 2024 to accelerate
access and meet growing demand where the HIV burden and unmet need
are the greatest.
|
|
●
|
ViiV
Healthcare continues to progress the rollout of the first
long-acting injectable for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (CAB LA for
PrEP) at record pace in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and lower income
countries. In Q3 2024, ViiV started roll-out to 2 additional
countries - eSwatini and Ukraine – with our global partner
The United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief
(PEPFAR) programme. Rollout of CAB LA for PrEP in low-income and
SSA countries at a not-for-profit price began in Zambia in February
2024, just two years after the U.S. FDA approval and is currently
supplied to key partners in 5 countries.
|
|
●
|
In
September, GSK donated(2) the 12 billionth
tablet of Albendazole which will help in the eradication of
lymphatic filariasis (LF) and treatment of soil transmitted
helminths (STH). Since 2000, GSK has been committed to change the
trajectory of NTDs by eliminating LF as a public health issue
worldwide. At the end of September, Brazil became the 20th country
to eliminate LF as a public health problem. GSK contributed to this
through support for diagnosis and transmission assessment
surveys.

|
In
September it was announced that GSK will commit €4.5m over
three years to Global Antibiotic Research and Development
partnership (Gard-P), to ensure equitable access to antibiotics in
lower-income countries. This funding aims to tackle the challenges
that hinder critical antibiotics from reaching those in need. More
information can be found here(3).
|
|
●
|
In
September, TRIC-TB, the European Union’s IMI2 programme for
developing new treatments for infectious diseases, successfully
delivered a Phase 2-ready tuberculosis clinical candidate,
alpibectir, that is being jointly developed by BioVersys and GSK.
More information can be found here(4).

|
|
|
●
|
GSK's
Worthing manufacturing facility has become the first(5) in the UK to
achieve BSI Kitemark Certification for Minimised Risk of
Antimicrobial Resistance. Achieving this rigorous international
certification demonstrates GSK's commitment to the responsible
manufacturing of antibiotics and ambition to ensure all global
antibiotic manufacturing sites are certified by the end of
2026.
|
|
●
|
The
Energize programme, which was co-founded by GSK and supports
suppliers to access renewable energy, announced its first deal
which includes four of GSK’s suppliers in Europe and will
support seven new solar energy projects in Spain, as well as
bringing additional renewable capacity to the European grid. This
marks an important step in our plan to reduce our value chain
emissions by 80% from 2020 to 2030.

Total and Core
results
Total
reported results represent the Group’s overall
performance.
GSK
made one update to its reporting framework in Q1 2024 which was to
change the description of Adjusted results to Core to align with
European peers in the pharmaceutical industry but with no change to
the basis or figures. In Q2 2024 an update was made to the
definition of Core results to exclude amounts greater than £25
million from the foreign currency translation reserve which are
reclassified to the income statement upon the liquidation of a
subsidiary. There is no change to Total Results.
GSK
uses a number of non-IFRS measures to report the performance of its
business. Core results and other non-IFRS measures may be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior
to, information presented in accordance with IFRS. Core results are
defined below and other non-IFRS measures are defined on page
52.
GSK
believes that Core results, when considered together with Total
results, provide investors, analysts and other stakeholders with
helpful complementary information to understand better the
financial performance and position of the Group from period to
period, and allow the Group’s performance to be more easily
compared against the majority of its peer companies. These measures
are also used by management for planning and reporting purposes.
They may not be directly comparable with similarly described
measures used by other companies.
GSK
encourages investors and analysts not to rely on any single
financial measure but to review GSK’s quarterly results
announcements, including the financial statements and notes, in
their entirety.
GSK is
committed to continuously improving its financial reporting, in
line with evolving regulatory requirements and best practice. In
line with this practice, GSK expects to continue to review and
refine its reporting framework.
Core
results exclude the following items in relation to our operations
from Total results, together with the tax effects of all of these
items:
|
|
|
|
●
|
amortisation of
intangible assets (excluding computer software and capitalised
development costs)
|
|
●
|
impairment of
intangible assets (excluding computer software) and
goodwill
|
|
●
|
major
restructuring costs, which include impairments of tangible assets
and computer software, (under specific Board approved programmes
that are structural, of a significant scale and where the costs of
individual or related projects exceed £25 million), including
integration costs following material acquisitions
|
|
●
|
transaction-related
accounting or other adjustments related to significant
acquisitions
|
|
●
|
proceeds and costs
of disposal of associates, products and businesses; significant
settlement income; Significant legal charges (net of insurance
recoveries) and expenses on the settlement of litigation and
government investigations; other operating income other than
royalty income, and other items including amounts reclassified from
the foreign currency translation reserve to the income statement
upon the liquidation of a subsidiary where the amount exceeds
£25 million
|
Costs
for all other ordinary course smaller scale restructuring and legal
charges and expenses from operations are retained within both Total
and Core results.
As Core
results include the benefits of Major restructuring programmes but
exclude significant costs (such as Significant legal, major
restructuring and transaction items) they should not be regarded as
a complete picture of the Group’s financial performance,
which is presented in Total results. The exclusion of other
Adjusting items may result in Core earnings being materially higher
or lower than Total earnings. In particular, when significant
impairments, restructuring charges and legal costs are excluded,
Core earnings will be higher than Total earnings.
GSK has
undertaken a number of Major restructuring programmes in response
to significant changes in the Group’s trading environment or
overall strategy or following material acquisitions. Within the
Pharmaceuticals sector, the highly regulated manufacturing
operations and supply chains and long lifecycle of the business
mean that restructuring programmes, particularly those that involve
the rationalisation or closure of manufacturing or R&D sites
are likely to take several years to complete. Costs, both cash and
non-cash, of these programmes are provided for as individual
elements are approved and meet the accounting recognition criteria.
As a result, charges may be incurred over a number of years
following the initiation of a Major restructuring
programme.
Significant legal
charges and expenses are those arising from the settlement of
litigation or government investigations that are not in the normal
course and materially larger than more regularly occurring
individual matters. They also include certain major legacy
matters.
Reconciliations
between Total and Core results, providing further information on
the key Adjusting items, are set out on pages 20 and
23.
GSK
provides earnings guidance to the investor community on the basis
of Core results. This is in line with peer companies and
expectations of the investor community, supporting easier
comparison of the Group’s performance with its peers. GSK is
not able to give guidance for Total results as it cannot reliably
forecast certain material elements of the Total results,
particularly the future fair value movements on contingent
consideration and put options that can and have given rise to
significant adjustments driven by external factors such as currency
and other movements in capital markets.
ViiV
Healthcare
ViiV
Healthcare is a subsidiary of the Group and 100% of its operating
results (turnover, operating profit, profit after tax) are included
within the Group income statement.
Earnings are
allocated to the three shareholders of ViiV Healthcare on the basis
of their respective equity shareholdings (GSK 78.3%, Pfizer 11.7%
and Shionogi 10%) and their entitlement to preferential dividends,
which are determined by the performance of certain products that
each shareholder contributed. As the relative performance of these
products changes over time, the proportion of the overall earnings
allocated to each shareholder also changes. In particular, the
increasing proportion of sales of dolutegravir and
cabotegravir-containing products has a favourable impact on the
proportion of the preferential dividends that is allocated to GSK.
Adjusting items are allocated to shareholders based on their equity
interests. GSK was entitled to approximately 84% of the Total
earnings and 83% of the Core earnings of ViiV Healthcare for
2023.
As
consideration for the acquisition of Shionogi’s interest in
the former Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare joint venture in 2012, Shionogi
received the 10% equity stake in ViiV Healthcare and ViiV
Healthcare also agreed to pay additional future cash consideration
to Shionogi, contingent on the future sales performance of the
products being developed by that joint venture, dolutegravir and
cabotegravir. Under IFRS 3 ‘Business combinations’, GSK
was required to provide for the estimated fair value of this
contingent consideration at the time of acquisition and is required
to update the liability to the latest estimate of fair value at
each subsequent period end. The liability for the contingent
consideration recognised in the balance sheet at the date of
acquisition was £659 million. Subsequent remeasurements are
reflected within other operating income/(expense) and within
Adjusting items in the income statement in each
period.
Cash
payments to settle the contingent consideration are made to
Shionogi by ViiV Healthcare each quarter, based on the actual sales
performance and other income of the relevant products in the
previous quarter. These payments reduce the balance sheet liability
and hence are not recorded in the income statement. The cash
payments made to Shionogi by ViiV Healthcare in the nine months
ended 30 September 2024 were £900 million.
As the
liability is required to be recorded at the fair value of estimated
future payments, there is a significant timing difference between
the charges that are recorded in the Total income statement to
reflect movements in the fair value of the liability and the actual
cash payments made to settle the liability.
Further
explanation of the acquisition-related arrangements with ViiV
Healthcare are set out on pages 84 and 85 of the Annual Report
2023.

The
Separation restructuring programme incurred cash charges of
£42 million primarily from restructuring of some commercial
and administrative functions as well as Global Supply Chain. The
non-cash credit of £2 million primarily reflected an
adjustment to the write down of assets in manufacturing
locations.
Costs
of significant acquisitions relate to integration costs of Sierra
Oncology Inc. (Sierra) and Affinivax Inc. (Affinivax) which were
acquired in Q3 2022, BELLUS Health Inc. (Bellus) acquired in Q2
2023 and Aiolos acquired in Q1 2024.
Cash
charges of £45 million under Legacy programmes primarily arose
from the divestment of the cephalosporins business.
Transaction-related
adjustments
Transaction-related
adjustments resulted in a net charge of £361 million (Q3 2023:
£577 million), the majority of which related to
charges/(credits) for the remeasurement of contingent consideration
liabilities, the liabilities for the Pfizer put option, and Pfizer
and Shionogi preferential dividends in ViiV
Healthcare.

The
£292 million charge relating to the contingent consideration
for the former Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare joint venture represented
an increase in the valuation of the contingent consideration due to
Shionogi by £185 million driven by updated sales forecasts
partly offset by exchange rates, and the unwind of the discount for
£107 million. The £16 million credit relating to the ViiV
Healthcare put option and Pfizer preferential dividends represented
updated exchange rates and higher preference dividends, partly
offset by an increase in the valuation of the put option primarily
as a result of updated sales forecasts. The ViiV Healthcare
contingent consideration liability is fair valued under IFRS. An
explanation of the accounting for the non-controlling interests in
ViiV Healthcare is set out on page 19.
The
£46 million charge relating to the contingent consideration on
the former Novartis Vaccines business primarily related to changes
to future sales forecasts.
The
£15 million charge relating to the contingent consideration on
the acquisition of Affinivax primarily related to the unwind of the
discount.
Significant
legal charges, Divestments, and other items
Significant legal
charges in the quarter primarily reflected a charge of £1.8
billion ($2.3 billion) in relation to Zantac for the State Courts Settlement,
the Qui Tam Settlement, and
the remaining 7% of pending state court product liability cases,
partially offset by reduced future legal costs.
Legal
charges provide for all significant legal matters and are not
broken out separately by litigation or investigation.
Divestments and
other items included other net income of £23 million, which
includes milestones and royalty income.

The
Separation restructuring programme incurred cash charges of
£169 million primarily from the restructuring of some
commercial and administrative functions as well as Supply Chain.
The non-cash charges of £14 million primarily reflected the
write-down of assets in manufacturing locations.
The
programme is now largely complete and has delivered its target of
£1.1 billion of annual savings, with total costs still
expected at £2.4 billion, with slightly higher cash charges of
£1.7 billion but lower non-cash charges of £0.7
billion.
Costs
of significant acquisitions relate to integration costs of Sierra
and Affinivax which were acquired in Q3 2022, Bellus acquired in Q2
2023 and Aiolos acquired in Q1 2024.
Cash
charges of £47 million under Legacy programmes primarily arose
from the divestment of the cephalosporins business.
Transaction-related
adjustments
Transaction-related
adjustments resulted in a net charge of £1,463 million (YTD
2023: £117 million net charge), the majority of which related
to charges/(credits) for the remeasurement of contingent
consideration liabilities, the liabilities for the Pfizer put
option, and Pfizer and Shionogi preferential dividends in ViiV
Healthcare.

The
£1,106 million charge relating to the contingent consideration
for the former Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare joint venture represented
an increase in the valuation of the contingent consideration due to
Shionogi, driven by £789 million from updated future sales
forecasts and exchange rates, and the unwind of the discount for
£317 million. The £54 million charge relating to the ViiV
Healthcare put option and Pfizer preferential dividends represented
an increase in the valuation of the put option primarily as a
result of updated sales forecasts. The ViiV Healthcare contingent
consideration liability is fair valued under IFRS. An explanation
of the accounting for the non-controlling interests in ViiV
Healthcare is set out on page 19.
The
£206 million charge relating to the contingent consideration
on the former Novartis Vaccines business primarily related to
changes to future sales forecasts.
The
£31 million charge relating to the contingent consideration on
the acquisition of Affinivax primarily related to the unwind of the
discount.
Significant
legal charges, Divestments, and other items
Significant legal
charges in the year to date primarily reflected the Q3 2024 charge
of £1.8 billion ($2.3 billion) in relation to Zantac for the State Courts Settlement,
the Qui Tam Settlement, and
the remaining 7% of pending state court product liability cases,
partially offset by reduced future legal costs.
Legal
charges provide for all significant legal matters and are not
broken out separately by litigation or investigation.
Divestments and
other items primarily included £241 million of other net
income from milestones and dividends related to investments,
including a £16 million final dividend received from the
investment in Haleon, as well as a fair value gain of £22
million on the investment in Haleon, which was sold in May
2024.

Segment information
Operating segments
are reported based on the financial information provided to the
Chief Executive Officer and the responsibilities of the GSK
Leadership Team (GLT). GSK reports results under two segments:
Commercial Operations and Total R&D. Members of the GLT are
responsible for each segment.
R&D
investment is essential for the sustainability of the business.
However, for segment reporting the Commercial operating profits
exclude allocations of globally funded R&D.
The
Total R&D segment is the responsibility of the Chief Scientific
Officer and is reported as a separate segment. The operating costs
of this segment includes R&D activities across Specialty
Medicines, including HIV and Vaccines. It includes R&D and some
SG&A costs relating to regulatory and other
functions.
The
Group’s management reporting process allocates intra-Group
profit on a product sale to the market in which that sale is
recorded, and the profit analyses below have been presented on that
basis.
Adjusting items
reconciling segment profit and operating profit comprise items not
specifically allocated to segment profit. These include impairment
and amortisation of intangible assets, major restructuring costs,
which include impairments of tangible assets and computer software,
transaction-related adjustments related to significant
acquisitions, proceeds and costs of disposals of associates,
products and businesses, Significant legal charges and expenses on
the settlement of litigation and government investigations, other
operating income other than royalty income, and other items
including amounts reclassified from the foreign currency
translation reserve to the income statement upon the liquidation of
a subsidiary where the amount exceeds £25
million.

Commercial
Operations Core operating profit of £4,195 million grew in the
quarter from strong Specialty Medicines sales performance,
favourable product and regional mix as well as price benefits from
channel mix and adjustments to returns and rebates in the US,
partly offset by continued disciplined investment in growth assets
and lower royalty income.
The
R&D segment operating expense of £1,334 million in the
quarter reflected continued spend across the portfolio, with
Specialty Medicines spend driven by camlipixant, bepirovirsen and
depemokimab as well as the long acting TSLP asset acquired as part
of the Aiolos acquisition, and in HIV on long-acting medicines. In
Vaccines, pneumococcal (MAPS) and mRNA continued to drive
investment, and, in Oncology, increased investment in Jemperli and ADC assets was offset by
cost decreases following the launches of Arexvy and Ojjaara, and progression to completion
of Zejula and Blenrep studies.

Commercial
Operations Core operating profit of £12,012 million grew year
to date driven by continued leverage from strong sales and
favourable product and regional mix, as well as price benefits from
channel mix and adjustments to returns and rebates in the US, and a
reversal of the Zejula
royalty dispute legal provision in Q1 2024, partly offset by
continued disciplined investment in growth assets and lower royalty
income.
The
R&D segment operating expense of £4,055 million grew year
to date driven by continued spend across the portfolio, with a
significant increase in investment in Specialty Medicines including
camlipixant, bepirovirsen and depemokimab as well as the long
acting TSLP asset acquired as part of the Aiolos acquisition. In
addition, there was continued spend in HIV on long-acting
medicines. In Vaccines, pneumococcal (MAPS) and mRNA continued to
drive investment, and, in Oncology, increased investment in
Jemperli and ADC assets was
offset by cost decreases following the launches of Arexvy and Ojjaara, and progression to completion
of Zejula and Blenrep studies.
Legal
matters
The
Group is involved in significant legal and administrative
proceedings, principally product liability, intellectual property,
tax, anti-trust, consumer fraud and governmental investigations,
which are more fully described in the ‘Legal
Proceedings’ note in the Annual Report 2023. At 30 September
2024, the Group’s aggregate provision for legal and other
disputes (not including tax matters described on page 10) was
£2,033 million (31 December 2023: £267
million).
The
Group may become involved in significant legal proceedings in
respect of which it is not possible to meaningfully assess whether
the outcome will result in a probable outflow, or to quantify or
reliably estimate the liability, if any, that could result from
ultimate resolution of the proceedings. In these cases, the Group
would provide appropriate disclosures about such cases, but no
provision would be made.
The
ultimate liability for legal claims may vary from the amounts
provided and is dependent upon the outcome of litigation
proceedings, investigations and possible settlement negotiations.
The Group’s position could change over time, and, therefore,
there can be no assurance that any losses that result from the
outcome of any legal proceedings will not exceed by a material
amount the amount of the provisions reported in the Group’s
financial accounts.
Significant legal
developments since the date of the Q2 2024 results:
Product
Liability
Zantac
On 9
October 2024 GSK reached agreements with 10 plaintiff firms who
together represent 93% (approximately 80,000 claimants) of the
Zantac state court product
liability cases pending against GSK in the United States. Under
these agreements, GSK will make an aggregate payment of up to $2.2
billion to resolve all U.S. state court product liability cases
handled by these plaintiff firms that meet agreed eligibility and
participation criteria (the “State Courts Settlement”).
The participating plaintiff firms are unanimously recommending to
their clients that they accept the terms of the State Courts
Settlement, which is expected to be fully implemented by the end of
H1 2025. Terms of the agreements are confidential.
On 9
October 2024 GSK also reached an agreement in principle to pay a
total of $70 million to resolve the Zantac qui tam complaint previously filed by
Valisure. The agreement in principle is subject to final approval
from the Department of Justice (the “Qui Tam
Settlement”).
GSK has
not admitted any liability in the State Courts Settlement or in the
agreement in principle for the Qui Tam Settlement.
While the scientific consensus remains that there is no consistent
or reliable evidence that Zantac increases the risk of any
cancer, GSK strongly believes that these settlements are in the
best long-term interests of the company and its shareholders as
they remove significant financial uncertainty, risk and distraction
associated with protracted litigation.
There
remain approximately 6,000 cases filed in various state court
jurisdictions, the vast majority of which are in Delaware. On 27
August 2024, the Delaware Supreme Court accepted Defendants’
appeal of the Superior Court’s decision allowing Plaintiffs
to present expert evidence of general causation on all ten cancer
types to a jury.
The
State Courts Settlement resolved all state court product liability
trials which were scheduled for 2024 and 2025.
As
previously disclosed, approximately 14,000 product liability cases
were dismissed following the grant of defendants’
Daubert motions in December
2022 in the MDL proceeding. These are now on appeal by the
plaintiffs to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh
Circuit, along with appeals in the medical monitoring and consumer
class action cases. GSK remains confident in its position and will
continue to vigorously defend against those appeals.
The
trial in the Mayor & City of Baltimore action is scheduled to
begin 1 June 2026.
GSK
took a charge in Q3 2024 of £1.8 billion ($2.3 billion) in
relation to the State Courts Settlement, the Qui Tam Settlement, and the remaining
7% of pending state court product liability cases, partially offset
by reduced future legal costs.
Intellectual
Property
RSV
On 5
August 2024, GSK filed a patent infringement suit against Pfizer in
the European Unified Patent Court (“UPC”) alleging
infringement of a single GSK patent by Pfizer’s RSV vaccine,
Abrysvo. On 14 August 2024, Pfizer filed a separate action in the
UPC seeking revocation of the patent. First instance decisions on
the merits are not expected until late 2025.
On 7
October 2024, the London High Court ruled in Pfizer’s favour
and invalidated two of GSK’s patents relating to RSV vaccine
technology. GSK plans to appeal that decision.
mRNA
On 14
August 2024, GSK filed a First Amended Complaint in the United
States District Court for the District of Delaware asserting 3
additional GSK patents against Pfizer/BioNTech bringing the total
number of asserted patents to 8. Pfizer/BioNTech filed an Answer
and Counterclaims to GSK’s First Amended Complaint on 30
August 2024. Trial has yet to be scheduled.
On 12
October 2024, GSK filed two separate patent infringement suits
against Moderna, Inc. in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware. The first suit alleges infringement of 7 GSK
patents by the COVID-19 vaccine, SPIKEVAX. The second suit alleges
infringement of 6 GSK patents by the RSV vaccine,
mRESVIA.
Returns to
shareholders
Quarterly
dividends
The
Board has declared a third interim dividend for Q3 2024 of 15p per
share (Q3 2023: 14p per share).
Dividends remain an
essential component of total shareholder return and GSK recognises
the importance of dividends to shareholders. On 23 June 2021, at
the GSK Investor Update, GSK set out that from 2022 a progressive
dividend policy will be implemented guided by a 40 to 60 percent
pay-out ratio through the investment cycle. Consistent with this,
GSK has declared a dividend of 15p for Q3 2024 and expects to
declare a dividend of 60p per share for full year 2024. In setting
its dividend policy, GSK considers the capital allocation
priorities of the Group and its investment strategy for growth
alongside the sustainability of the dividend.
Payment
of dividends
The
equivalent interim dividend receivable by ADR holders will be
calculated based on the exchange rate on 7 January 2025. An annual
fee of $0.03 per ADS (or $0.0075 per ADS per quarter) is charged by
the Depositary. The ex-dividend and record dates will be 15
November 2024 with a payment date of 9 January 2025.

Contingent
liabilities
There
were contingent liabilities at 30 September 2024 in respect of
arrangements entered into as part of the ordinary course of the
Group’s business. No material losses are expected to arise
from such contingent liabilities. Provision is made for the outcome
of legal and tax disputes where it is both probable that the Group
will suffer an outflow of funds and it is possible to make a
reliable estimate of that outflow. Descriptions of the Significant
legal disputes to which the Group is a party are set out on page
38, and pages 263 to 266 of the 2023 Annual Report.
Net
assets
The
book value of net assets increased by £658 million from
£12,795 million at 31 December 2023 to £13,453 million at
30 September 2024. This primarily reflected contribution from Total
comprehensive income for the period partly offset by dividends paid
to shareholders.
At 30
September 2024, the net deficit on the Group’s pension plans
was £175 million compared with £764 million at 31
December 2023. This decrease in the net deficit is primarily due to
an increase in the UK discount rate, partly offset by a decrease in
the US discount rate.
The
estimated present value of the potential redemption amount of the
Pfizer put option related to ViiV Healthcare, recorded in Other
payables in Current liabilities, was £902 million (31
December 2023: £848 million).
Contingent
consideration amounted to £7,125 million at 30 September 2024
(31 December 2023: £6,662 million), of which £5,924
million (31 December 2023: £5,718 million) represented the
estimated present value of amounts payable to Shionogi relating to
ViiV Healthcare, £575 million (31 December 2023:
£424 million) represented the estimated present value of
contingent consideration payable to Novartis related to the
Vaccines acquisition, £520 million (31 December 2023:
£516 million) represented the estimated present value of
contingent consideration payable to Affinivax, and £95 million
(31 December 2023: £nil) represented the estimated present
value of contingent consideration payable in relation to the Aiolos
acquisition. Of the contingent consideration payable to Shionogi at
30 September 2024, £1,054 million (31 December 2023:
£1,017 million) is expected to be paid within one
year.

Business
acquisitions
On 9
January 2024, GSK announced it had entered into an agreement to
acquire 100% of Aiolos Bio, Inc. (Aiolos), a clinical stage
biopharmaceutical company focused on addressing the unmet treatment
needs of patients with certain respiratory and inflammatory
conditions, for a total consideration of US$1,004 million
(£800 million) as adjusted for working capital acquired
paid upon closing and up to US$400 million
(£319 million) in certain success-based regulatory
milestone payments. The estimated fair value of the contingent
consideration payable was US$120 million
(£96 million). In addition, GSK will also be responsible
for success-based milestone payments as well as tiered royalties
owed to Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. (Hengrui). The
acquisition completed on 14 February 2024. The values in the table
below are provisional and subject to change.
Goodwill of
£191 million has been recognised. The goodwill represents
specific synergies available to GSK from the business combination.
The goodwill has been allocated to the Group’s R&D
segment.
The
provisional fair values of the net assets acquired, including
goodwill, are as follows:

Biotechnologies, a San Diego-based private biotechnology company
dedicated to unlocking the full potential of oligonucleotide
therapeutics, for a total cash consideration of up to
US$51 million (approximately £40 million). The
acquisition is accounted for as a business combination but is not
considered a significant acquisition for the Group. This agreement
is not subject to closing conditions and the acquisition has been
completed.

Post balance sheet event
GSK plc
announced on 9 October 2024 that it has reached agreements with 10
plaintiff firms who together represent 93% (approximately 80,000)
of the Zantac state court
product liability cases pending against GSK in the United States.
Under these agreements, GSK will make an aggregate payment of up to
$2.2 billion to resolve all U.S. state court product liability
cases handled by those plaintiff firms that meet agreed eligibility
and participation criteria (the “State Courts
Settlement”). GSK also confirmed that it has reached an
agreement in principle to pay a total of $70 million to resolve the
Zantac qui tam complaint previously filed by
Valisure. The agreement in principle is subject to final approval
from the Department of Justice (the “Qui Tam Settlement”). GSK has not
admitted any liability in the State Courts Settlement or in the
agreement in principle for the Qui
Tam Settlement.
GSK has
recognised a charge in Q3 2024 of £1.8 billion ($2.3 billion)
in relation to the State Courts Settlement, the Qui Tam Settlement, and the remaining
7% of pending state court product liability cases, partially offset
by reduced future legal costs. Further details are set out on page
38.

Our key growth assets by therapy area
The
following outlines several key vaccines and medicines by therapy
area that will help drive growth for GSK to meet its outlooks for
2021-2026 and beyond.
Infectious
Diseases
Arexvy
(respiratory syncytial
virus vaccine, adjuvanted)
In
August 2024, the European Commission authorised the extended use of
Arexvy for the prevention
of lower respiratory tract disease (LRTD) caused by RSV to adults
50 to 59 years of age at increased risk. This follows US approval
in this population earlier this year. Regulatory review is ongoing
in Japan and other countries.
New
data from the AReSVi-006 (Adult Respiratory Syncytial Virus) phase
III trial showed clinically meaningful efficacy over three full RSV
seasons against RSV-LRTD and severe LRTD with one dose in adults
aged 60 years and older. These results were presented at the CHEST
2024 Annual Meeting, and included efficacy against different RSV
subtypes, in adults with advancing age (70-79 years of age), and
those with certain underlying medical conditions. Safety and
reactogenicity data were consistent with initial observation from
the phase III programme.
Positive data were
also reported showing the vaccine’s efficacy and safety in
adults aged 18 and above at increased risk from RSV, including
immunocompromised patients. In addition, positive data on its
co-administration with Shingrix were presented at the European
Geriatric Medicine Society meeting (EuGMS) in September 2024. These
results indicated a non-inferior immune response of both
AS01-adjuvanted vaccines when administered together, with
acceptable reactogenicity and safety profiles, further
strengthening the body of evidence supporting their use.

bepirovirsen (HBV ASO)
Bepirovirsen, a
triple-action antisense oligonucleotide, is a potential new
treatment option for people with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Based
on the potential to address an unmet medical need for a serious and
life-threatening condition, bepirovirsen has been granted Fast
Track designation by the US FDA and SENKU designation by the
Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for the treatment
of CHB. The B-Well 1 and 2 phase III trials are on track and have
achieved full recruitment ahead of schedule.
This
quarter GSK received FDA approval to start phase II combination
studies with daplusiran/tomligisiran (GSK5637608, formerly
JNJ-3989), an investigational hepatitis B virus-targeted small
interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) therapeutic, as a novel
sequential regimen to pursue functional cure in an even broader CHB
patient population.

gepotidacin (bacterial topoisomerase inhibitor)
Gepotidacin is an
investigational bactericidal, first-in-class antibiotic with a
novel mechanism of action for the treatment of uncomplicated
urinary tract infections (uUTI) and urogenital gonorrhoea. Positive
data from three pivotal trials demonstrate its potential to provide
a new oral treatment option for patients, including against drug
resistant infections.
In
October 2024, a regulatory submission in uUTI was accepted by the
US FDA under Priority Review. A decision on approval is expected in
March 2025. If approved, gepotidacin could be the first in a new
class of oral antibiotics in uUTI in over 20 years. Filings for
gonorrhoea are expected to follow in 2025.

MenABCWY vaccine candidate
GSK’s 5-in-1
meningococcal ABCWY (MenABCWY) vaccine candidate combines the
antigenic components of its two well-established meningococcal
vaccines with demonstrated efficacy and safety profiles:
Bexsero (Meningococcal
Group B Vaccine) and Menveo
(Meningococcal Groups A, C, Y, and W-135). Combining the protection
offered by these vaccines aims to reduce the number of injections,
simplifying immunisation and potentially increasing series
completion and vaccination coverage of adolescents and young adults
in the US.
A
Biologics License Application (BLA) is currently under review by
the US FDA with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action
date of 14 February 2025. In October 2024, the cost effectiveness
analysis and grading for MenABCWY were discussed at the CDC’s
ACIP meeting ahead of a potential vote in February
2025.

HIV
GSK
continues to transform the HIV marketplace through its oral
two-drug and long-acting injectable regimens for the treatment and
prevention of HIV.
cabotegravir
In
October 2024, ViiV Healthcare presented 22 abstracts at the ID Week
congress. These data included real-world evidence from the OPERA
and Trio Health cohorts showing more than 99% effectiveness of
Apretude (cabotegravir
long-acting (LA)) for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). In
addition, patient-reported results from the implementation study,
PILLAR, were reported, showing a reduction in stigma and anxiety
when using long-acting injectable PrEP. These studies add to the
growing body of evidence reinforcing the real-world impact of this
medicine today and offer new insight for healthcare providers
seeking to optimise care to suit individual needs and
circumstances.

depemokimab (long acting anti-IL5)
Depemokimab is in
late-stage development in a range of IL-5 mediated conditions
including, severe asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
(CRSwNP), hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and eosinophilic
granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). It is the first
ultra-long-acting biologic engineered to have an extended half-life
and high binding affinity and potency for IL-5, enabling six-month
dosing intervals for patients with severe asthma.
The
phase III programme for depemokimab continues to make progress. In
September 2024, the full positive results from the pivotal SWIFT-1
and SWIFT-2 trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of
depemokimab in severe asthma with type 2 inflammation were
presented at the European Respiratory Society International
Conference with simultaneous publication in the New England Journal
of Medicine. Both trials met their primary endpoints with
statistically significant reductions in the annualised rate of
clinically significant exacerbations (asthma attacks) over 52 weeks
versus placebo. The pre-specified pooled analysis showed a 54%
reduction in exacerbations (Rate Ratio 0.46, 95% CI, 0.36 –
0.59, p<0.001) (AER depemokimab = 0.51 exacerbations per year
versus placebo = 1.11) and a 72% reduction(*) in the secondary
endpoint of clinically significant exacerbations requiring
hospitalisation or emergency department visit compared to placebo
(RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.13 – 0.61, p=0.002) (AER: depemokimab =
0.02 versus placebo = 0.09).
In
October 2024, positive headline results were announced from the
ANCHOR-1 and ANCHOR-2 phase III trials assessing the safety and
efficacy of depemokimab in patients with CRSwNP. Both trials met
their co-primary endpoints with a statistically significant
reduction in nasal polyp size and nasal obstruction versus placebo
plus standard of care, at 52 weeks. Further analysis of these data
is ongoing and the full results will be presented at an upcoming
scientific congress.
Data
from SWIFT-1 and -2 along with ANCHOR-1 and -2 will be used to
support regulatory submissions to health authorities
worldwide.

Oncology
Blenrep
(belantamab
mafodotin)
GSK
continues to explore the potential for Blenrep to help address unmet need for
patients with multiple myeloma, in early treatment lines and in
combination with novel therapies and standard of care
treatments.
GSK is
pursuing regulatory approvals based on positive results from the
phase III head-to-head DREAMM-7 and DREAMM-8 trials, which found
that the belantamab-mafodotin-based combinations studied reduced
the risk of disease progression or death by nearly 60% and 50%
respectively versus standards of care in patients with relapsed or
refractory multiple myeloma.
In
September 2024, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and
Welfare (MHLW) accepted for review a new drug application (NDA)
based on DREAMM-7 and DREAMM-8. MHLW also granted an orphan drug
designation for belantamab mafodotin, which reflects the high unmet
medical need and ensures priority NDA review. This follows earlier
marketing authorisation application acceptances by regulatory
agencies in Europe and the UK. A regulatory application has been
filed in the US.
In
September 2024, the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the
National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China granted
Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) for belantamab mafodotin
combined with bortezomib plus dexamethasone based on the results of
DREAMM-7. NMPA BTD is intended to expedite the development of
therapies for serious and life-threatening diseases for which there
are no existing treatments or where initial evidence has shown an
improvement in patient outcomes over available treatment options. A
regulatory authorisation application in China is expected to be
filed by the end of 2024.

Jemperli
(dostarlimab)
Jemperli (dostarlimab) is the
foundation of GSK’s ongoing immuno-oncology-based research
and development programme. In August 2024, the US FDA approved
Jemperli plus chemotherapy
followed by Jemperli as a
single agent for the treatment of adult patients with primary
advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer. This approval broadens
the previous indication to include patients with mismatch repair
proficient (MMRp)/microsatellite stable (MSS) tumours who represent
70-75% of patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer and who have
limited treatment options.
The
expanded approval was based on results from Part 1 of the RUBY
phase III trial, which is the only clinical trial in this setting
to show a statistically significant overall survival benefit in the
full population of patients with primary advanced or recurrent
endometrial cancer, demonstrating a 31% reduction in risk of death
(HR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.54–0.89) compared to chemotherapy
alone.
The
application received Priority Review and was approved ahead of the
Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date.

Reporting definitions
CER
and AER growth
In
order to illustrate underlying performance, it is the Group’s
practice to discuss its results in terms of constant exchange rate
(CER) growth. This represents growth calculated as if the exchange
rates used to determine the results of overseas companies in
Sterling had remained unchanged from those used in the comparative
period. CER% represents growth at constant exchange rates. For
those countries which qualify as hyperinflationary as defined by
the criteria set out in IAS 29 ‘Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies’ (Argentina and Turkey) CER
growth is adjusted using a more appropriate exchange rate
reflecting depreciation of their respective currencies in order to
provide comparability and not to distort CER growth
rates.
£%
or AER% represents growth at actual exchange rates.
Core
Operating Margin
Core
Operating margin is Core operating profit divided by
turnover.
COVID-19
solutions
COVID-19 solutions
include the sales of pandemic adjuvant and other COVID-19 solutions
during the years from 2020-2023 and includes vaccine manufacturing
and Xevudy and the
associated costs but does not include reinvestment in R&D. This
categorisation is used by management who believe it is helpful to
investors through providing clarity on the results of the Group by
showing the contribution to growth from COVID-19 solutions during
this period.
Free
cash flow
Free
cash flow is defined as the net cash inflow/outflow from operating
activities less capital expenditure on property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets, contingent consideration payments,
net finance costs, and dividends paid to non-controlling interests,
contributions from non-controlling interests plus proceeds from the
sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and
dividends received from joint ventures and associates. The measure
is used by management as it is considered a good indicator of net
cash generated from business activities (excluding any cash flows
arising from equity investments, business acquisitions or disposals
and changes in the level of borrowing) available to pay
shareholders dividends and to fund strategic plans. Free cash flow
growth is calculated on a reported basis. A reconciliation of net
cash inflow from operations to free cash flow from operations is
set out on page 43.
Free
cash flow conversion
Free
cash flow conversion is free cash flow from operations as a
percentage of profit attributable to shareholders.
General
Medicines
General
Medicines are usually prescribed in the primary care or community
settings by general healthcare practitioners. For GSK, this
includes medicines for inhaled respiratory, dermatology,
antibiotics and other diseases.
Non-controlling
interest
Non-controlling
interest is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly
or indirectly, to a parent.
Percentage
points
Percentage points
of growth which is abbreviated to ppts.
RAR
(Returns and Rebates)
GSK
sells to customers both commercial and government mandated
contracts with reimbursement arrangements that include rebates,
chargebacks and a right of return for certain pharmaceutical
products principally in the US. Revenue recognition reflects
gross-to-net sales adjustments as a result. These adjustments are
known as the RAR accruals and are a source of significant
estimation uncertainty and fluctuation which can have a material
impact on reported revenue from one accounting period to the
next.
Risk
adjusted sales
Pipeline
risk-adjusted sales are based on the latest internal estimate of
the probability of technical and regulatory success for each asset
in development.
Specialty
Medicines
Specialty Medicines
are typically prescription medicines used to treat complex or rare
chronic conditions. For GSK, this comprises medicines for
infectious diseases, HIV, Respiratory/Immunology and Other, and
Oncology.
Total
Net debt
Net
debt is defined as total borrowings less cash, cash equivalents,
liquid investments, and short-term loans to third parties that are
subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. The measure is
used by management as it is considered a good indicator of GSK's
ability to meet its financial commitments and the strength of its
balance sheet.
Total
and Core results
Total
reported results represent the Group’s overall performance.
GSK uses a number of non-IFRS measures to report the performance of
its business. Core results and other non-IFRS measures may be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior
to, information presented in accordance with IFRS. Core results are
defined on page 18 and other non-IFRS measures are defined
below.
Turnover
excluding COVID-19 solutions
Turnover excluding COVID-19 solutions excludes
the impact of sales of pandemic adjuvant within Vaccines and
Xevudy within Specialty Medicines related to the
COVID-19 pandemic during the years 2020-2023. Management believes
that the exclusion of the impact of these COVID-19 solutions sales
aids comparability in the reporting periods and understanding of
GSK’s growth including by region versus prior periods and
also 2024 Guidance which excludes any contributions from COVID-19
solutions in current year or comparator
periods.
Total
Operating Margin
Total
Operating margin is Total operating profit divided by
turnover.
Total Earnings/(loss) per share
Unless
otherwise stated, Total earnings/(loss) per share refers to Total
basic earnings/(loss) per share.
Working
capital
Working
capital represents inventory and trade receivables less trade
payables.
Year
to date
Year to
date is the nine-month period in the year to 30 September 2024 or
the same prior period in 2023 as appropriate.
Brand names and partner acknowledgements: brand
names appearing in italics throughout this document are trademarks

Guidance and outlooks, assumptions
and cautionary statements
2024
Guidance
GSK
confirms its full-year sales, core profit and EPS guidance at
constant exchange rates (CER) and expects to deliver broadly around
the middle of the existing ranges. Turnover is expected to increase
between 7 to 9 per cent. Core operating profit is expected to
increase between 11 to 13 per cent and Core Earnings per share is
expected to increase between 10 to 12 per cent.
The
Group revises turnover expectations for Vaccines to a decrease of
low-single digit per cent, for Specialty Medicines to an increase
of high teens per cent and for General Medicines to an increase of
mid-single digit per cent.
This
guidance is provided at CER and excludes any contribution from
COVID-19 related solutions.
Assumptions
and basis of preparation related to 2024 guidance
In
outlining the guidance for 2024, the Group has made certain
planning assumptions about the macro-economic environment, the
healthcare sector (including regarding existing and possible
additional governmental legislative and regulatory reform), the
different markets and competitive landscape in which the Group
operates and the delivery of revenues and financial benefits from
its current portfolio, its development pipeline and restructuring
programmes.
These
planning assumptions as well as operating profit and earnings per
share guidance and dividend expectations assume no material
interruptions to supply of the Group’s products, no material
mergers, acquisitions or disposals, no material litigation or
investigation costs for the Company (save for those that are
already recognised or for which provisions have been made) and no
change in the Group’s shareholdings in ViiV Healthcare. The
assumptions also assume no material changes in the healthcare
environment or unexpected significant changes in pricing as a
result of government or competitor action. The 2024 guidance
factors in all divestments and product exits announced to
date.
Notwithstanding our
guidance, outlooks and expectations, there is still uncertainty as
to whether our assumptions, guidance, outlooks and expectations
will be achieved.
The
guidance is given on a constant currency basis.
Assumptions
and cautionary statement regarding forward-looking
statements
The
Group’s management believes that the assumptions outlined
above are reasonable, and that the guidance, outlooks, and
expectations described in this report are achievable based on those
assumptions. However, given the forward-looking nature of these
guidance, outlooks, and expectations, they are subject to greater
uncertainty, including potential material impacts if the above
assumptions are not realised, and other material impacts related to
foreign exchange fluctuations, macro-economic activity, the impact
of outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, changes in legislation,
regulation, government actions or intellectual property protection,
product development and approvals, actions by our competitors, and
other risks inherent to the industries in which we
operate.
This
document contains statements that are, or may be deemed to be,
“forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking
statements give the Group’s current expectations or forecasts
of future events. An investor can identify these statements by the
fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts. They use words such as ‘anticipate’,
‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’,
‘will’, ‘project’, ‘plan’,
‘believe’, ‘target’ and other words and
terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of
future operating or financial performance. In particular, these
include statements relating to future actions, prospective products
or product approvals, future performance or results of current and
anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of
contingencies such as legal proceedings, dividend payments and
financial results. Other than in accordance with its legal or
regulatory obligations (including under the Market Abuse
Regulation, the UK Listing Rules and the Disclosure and
Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority), the Group
undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The reader should, however, consult any additional disclosures that
the Group may make in any documents which it publishes and/or files
with the SEC. All readers, wherever located, should take note of
these disclosures. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any
particular expectation will be met and investors are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on the forward-looking
statements.
All
guidance, outlooks and expectations should be read together with
the guidance and outlooks, assumptions and cautionary statements in
this Q3 2024 earnings release and in the Group's 2023 Annual Report
on Form 20-F.
Forward-looking
statements are subject to assumptions, inherent risks and
uncertainties, many of which relate to factors that are beyond the
Group’s control or precise estimate. The Group cautions
investors that a number of important factors, including those in
this document, could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Such
factors include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Item
3.D ‘Risk Factors’ in the Group’s Annual Report
on Form 20-F for 2023. Any forward-looking statements made by or on
behalf of the Group speak only as of the date they are made and are
based upon the knowledge and information available to the Directors
on the date of this report.
Independent review report to GSK plc
Conclusion
We have
been engaged by GSK plc (“the company”) to review the
condensed financial information in the Results Announcement of the
company for the three and nine months ended 30 September
2024.
The
condensed financial information comprises:
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
income statement and statement of comprehensive income for the
three and nine month periods ended 30 September 2024 on page 26 and
27;
|
|
●
|
the
balance sheet as at 30 September 2024 on page 28;
|
|
●
|
the
statement of changes in equity for the nine-month period then ended
on page 29;
|
|
●
|
the
cash flow statement for the nine-month period then ended on page
30; and
|
|
●
|
the
accounting policies and basis of preparation and the explanatory
notes to the condensed financial information on pages 31 to 43 that
have been prepared applying consistent accounting policies to those
applied by GSK plc and its subsidiaries (“the Group”)
in the Annual Report 2023, which was prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as
adopted by the United Kingdom.
|
Based
on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the condensed financial information in the Results
Announcement for the three and nine months ended 30 September 2024
is not prepared, in all material respects in accordance with the
accounting policies set out in the accounting policies and basis of
preparation section on page 40.
Basis
for Conclusion
We
conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on
Review Engagements (UK) 2410 “Review of Interim Financial
Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity” issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in
the United Kingdom (ISRE (UK) 2410). A review of interim financial
information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying
analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially
less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not
enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all
significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
As
disclosed on page 40, the annual financial statements of the
Company are prepared in accordance with United Kingdom adopted
international accounting standards. The condensed set of financial
information included in this Results Announcement have been
prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the
accounting policies and basis of preparation section on page
40.
Conclusion
Relating to Going Concern
Based
on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those
performed in an audit as described in the Basis for Conclusion
section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to
suggest that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going
concern basis of accounting or that the directors have identified
material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not
appropriately disclosed.
This
Conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in
accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410, however future events or conditions
may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going
concern.
Responsibilities
of the directors
The
directors are responsible for preparing the Results Announcement of
the company in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct
Authority.
In
preparing the Results Announcement, the directors are responsible
for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern
and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do
so.
Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the review of the financial
information
In
reviewing the Results Announcement, we are responsible for
expressing to the company a conclusion on the condensed financial
information in the Results Announcement based on our review. Our
Conclusion, including our Conclusion Relating to Going Concern, are
based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures,
as described in the Basis for Conclusion paragraph of this
report.
Use
of our report
This
report is made solely to the company in accordance with ISRE (UK)
2410. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the
company those matters we are required to state to it in an
independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility
to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this
report, or for the conclusions we have formed.
