Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
loss/earnings per share (EPS) assuming dilution was a loss per share of $0.48 for the fourth quarter and EPS of $0.14 for the full year
of 2023. Non-GAAP EPS was $0.03 for the fourth quarter and $1.51 for the full year of 2023. GAAP loss per share and non-GAAP EPS in the
fourth quarter of 2023 include a charge of $1.69 per share related to the collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo. GAAP and non-GAAP EPS for
the full years of 2023 and 2022 include charges of $6.21 and $0.22 per share, respectively, related to certain collaborations, licensing
agreements and asset acquisitions.
Non-GAAP EPS excludes acquisition- and divestiture-related
costs, including pretax intangible asset impairment research and development (R&D) charges of $779 million in the fourth quarter and
full year of 2023 related to gefapixant, and $780 million and $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter and full year of 2022, respectively,
primarily related to nemtabrutinib. Non-GAAP EPS also excludes restructuring costs, including costs for the recently approved 2024 Restructuring
Program, as well as income and losses from investments in equity securities.
1 Net (loss) income attributable to Merck & Co., Inc.
2 Merck is providing certain 2023 and 2022 non-GAAP information
that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance
and trends. Management believes that providing this information enhances investors’ understanding of the company’s results
because management uses non-GAAP results to assess performance. Management uses non-GAAP measures internally for planning and forecasting
purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. In addition, senior management’s annual compensation
is derived in part using a non-GAAP pre-tax income metric. This information should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute
for or superior to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For a description of the non-GAAP adjustments, see Table 2a attached
to this release.

N/M - Not meaningful
Full-year 2023 pharmaceutical sales grew 3% to
$53.6 billion. Pharmaceutical sales growth was primarily driven by higher sales in oncology, particularly KEYTRUDA, higher sales of vaccines,
reflecting strong growth of combined sales of GARDASIL/GARDASIL 9 and VAXNEUVANCE, as well as growth in hospital acute care products,
including PREVYMIS and BRIDION. Pharmaceutical sales growth in 2023 was partially offset by lower sales of the COVID-19 medication LAGEVRIO,
as well as lower sales of JANUVIA and JANUMET, primarily reflecting generic competition in many ex-U.S. markets and lower demand in the
U.S., and lower sales of PNEUMOVAX 23 as the market continues to shift toward newer adult pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. Pharmaceutical
sales growth for the full year of 2023 was 14% excluding LAGEVRIO and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.
Full-year 2023 Animal Health sales grew 1% to $5.6
billion. Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, Animal Health sales grew 3%, primarily due to higher pricing. Full-year
sales growth was also driven by higher demand for livestock products, led by poultry and swine products, partially offset by lower demand
for ruminant products. Sales of BRAVECTO were $1.1 billion in 2023, which represented growth of 4%, or 5% excluding the impact of foreign
exchange, primarily reflecting higher pricing.

GAAP Expense, EPS and Related Information
Gross margin was 73.3% for the fourth quarter of
2023 compared with 71.9% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to the favorable impacts of lower LAGEVRIO sales,
which have a low gross margin, lower manufacturing facilities costs and product mix, partially offset by the unfavorable impacts of foreign
exchange and higher restructuring costs. Gross margin was 73.2% for the full year of 2023 compared with 70.6% for the full year of 2022.
The increase was primarily due to the favorable impacts of lower LAGEVRIO sales, product mix, lower manufacturing facilities costs, and
lower revenue from third-party manufacturing arrangements, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenses were $2.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase of 4% compared with the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was
primarily due to higher administrative costs, including higher compensation and benefit costs, partially offset by lower promotional spending.
Full-year 2023 SG&A expenses were $10.5 billion, an increase of 5% compared with the full year of 2022. The increase was primarily
due to higher administrative costs, including higher compensation and benefit costs, and higher promotional spending, partially offset
by the favorable impact of foreign exchange and lower acquisition- and divestiture-related costs.
R&D expenses were $9.6 billion in the fourth
quarter of 2023 compared with $3.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. R&D expenses were $30.5 billion for the full year of 2023
compared with $13.5 billion for the full year of 2022. The increase in the fourth quarter and full year of 2023 reflects a $5.5 billion
charge for the collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo, and higher development costs due to spending on clinical programs, including newly acquired
programs, as well as higher compensation and benefit costs (reflecting in part increased headcount). The increase in R&D expenses
for the full year was also due to charges of $11.4 billion in the aggregate for the acquisitions of Prometheus Biosciences, Inc.
(Prometheus) and Imago BioSciences, Inc. (Imago). The increase in R&D expenses for the full year was partially offset by lower
intangible asset impairment charges in 2023 and charges of $690 million in the aggregate in 2022 for collaboration and licensing agreements
with Moderna, Inc. (Moderna), Orna Therapeutics (Orna) and Orion Corporation (Orion).
Other (income) expense, net, was $78 million of
expense in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with $75 million of income in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher exchange
losses and higher net interest expense, partially offset by net gains from investments in equity securities for the fourth quarter of
2023 compared with net losses from investments in equity securities for the fourth quarter of 2022, and lower pension settlement costs.
Other (income) expense, net, was $466 million of expense in the full year of 2023 compared with $1.5 billion of expense in the full year
of 2022, primarily due to net gains from investments in equity securities in 2023 compared with net losses from investments in equity
securities in 2022, and lower pension settlement costs, partially offset by a $572.5 million charge in 2023 related to settlements with
certain plaintiffs in the Zetia antitrust litigation.
The effective tax rate was 40.1% for the fourth
quarter of 2023 compared with 14.1% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 includes a 29.2
percentage point impact resulting from the charge for the Daiichi Sankyo collaboration. The effective tax rate was 80.0% for the full
year of 2023 compared with 11.7% for the full year of 2022. The full-year 2023 effective tax rate reflects an aggregate 65.6 percentage
point unfavorable impact, resulting from charges for asset acquisitions (for which no tax benefits were recognized) as well as the charge
for the Daiichi Sankyo collaboration.
GAAP loss per share was $0.48 for the fourth quarter
of 2023 compared with EPS of $1.18 for the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily driven by the charge in 2023 related to the collaboration
with Daiichi Sankyo, the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and higher restructuring costs, partially offset by a beneficial impact
from the tax rate and operational strength in the business. GAAP EPS was $0.14 for the full year of 2023 compared with EPS of $5.71 for
the full year of 2022. The EPS decline in 2023 was primarily due to higher charges for certain business development transactions, the
unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and the tax rate, as well as a charge related to settlements with certain plaintiffs in the Zetia
antitrust litigation, partially offset by the beneficial impacts of operational strength in the business, better performance from equity
investments and lower intangible asset impairment charges.
Non-GAAP Expense, EPS and Related Information
Non-GAAP gross margin was 77.2% for the fourth
quarter of 2023 compared with 75.7% for the fourth quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP gross margin was 76.9% for the full year of 2023 compared
with 74.4% for the full year of 2022. The non-GAAP gross margin improvement in the fourth quarter and full year of 2023 was primarily
due to the favorable impacts of lower LAGEVRIO sales, which have a low gross margin, product mix, and lower manufacturing facilities costs.
The increase in non-GAAP gross margin for the full year was also due to lower revenue from third-party manufacturing arrangements. The
non-GAAP gross margin improvement in the fourth quarter and full year of 2023 was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign
exchange.
Non-GAAP SG&A expenses were $2.8 billion for
the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with $2.6 billion for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher administrative
costs, including higher compensation and benefit costs, partially offset by lower promotional spending. Full-year 2023 non-GAAP SG&A
expenses were $10.3 billion, an increase of 5% compared with the full year of 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher administrative
costs, including higher compensation and benefit costs, and higher promotional spending, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign
exchange.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $8.8 billion in
the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with $3.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $29.7 billion for
the full year of 2023 compared with $11.8 billion for the full year of 2022. The increase in the fourth quarter and full year of 2023
reflects a $5.5 billion charge for the collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo, and higher development costs due to spending on clinical programs,
including newly acquired programs, as well as higher compensation and benefit costs (reflecting in part increased headcount). The increase
in non-GAAP R&D expenses for the full year was also due to charges of $11.4 billion in the aggregate for the acquisitions of Prometheus
and Imago. The increase in R&D expenses for the full year was partially offset by charges of $690 million in the aggregate in 2022
for collaboration and licensing agreements with Moderna, Orna and Orion.
Non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, was $174
million of expense in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with $86 million of income in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher
exchange losses and higher net interest expense, partially offset by lower pension settlement costs. Non-GAAP other (income) expense,
net, was $219 million of expense in the full year of 2023 compared with $360 million of expense in the full year of 2022, primarily due
to lower pension settlement costs.
The non-GAAP effective tax rate was 114.2% for
the fourth quarter of 2023 compared with 15.6% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of
2023 includes a 101.1 percentage point unfavorable impact resulting from the charge for the Daiichi Sankyo collaboration. The non-GAAP
effective tax rate was 35.8% for the full year of 2023 compared with 14.2% for the full year of 2022. The full-year 2023 non-GAAP effective
tax rate reflects an aggregate 21.2 percentage point unfavorable impact, resulting from charges for asset acquisitions (for which no benefits
were recognized) as well as the charge for the Daiichi Sankyo collaboration.
Non-GAAP EPS was $0.03 for the fourth quarter of
2023 compared with $1.62 for the fourth quarter of 2022. The non-GAAP EPS decline in the fourth quarter was primarily due to the charge
in 2023 related to the collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo and the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by a beneficial
impact from the tax rate and operational strength in the business. Non-GAAP EPS was $1.51 for the full year of 2023 compared with $7.48
for the full year of 2022. The non-GAAP EPS decline for the full year was primarily due to higher charges for certain business development
transactions, the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and the tax rate, partially offset by operational strength in the business.

2024 Restructuring Program
Merck recently approved a new restructuring program
(2024 Restructuring Program) intended to continue the optimization of the company’s Human Health global manufacturing network as
the future pipeline shifts to new modalities, and also to optimize the Animal Health global manufacturing network to improve supply reliability
and increase efficiency. The company recorded charges in its GAAP results of $190 million related to the 2024 Restructuring Program for
the fourth quarter and full year of 2023.
Pipeline and Portfolio Highlights
In the fourth quarter, Merck continued to make
significant progress advancing its broad portfolio and pipeline across key therapeutic areas, representing continued momentum toward addressing
patient needs.
In oncology, Merck received multiple U.S. Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals, including KEYTRUDA plus Padcev for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced
or metastatic urothelial cancer and WELIREG for the treatment of certain patients with previously treated advanced RCC, among other approvals.
The FDA also accepted and granted Priority Review to Merck and Daiichi Sankyo’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for patritumab
deruxtecan for the treatment of certain patients with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC). The FDA set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), or target action, date of June 26, 2024. In addition, Merck
showed meaningful progress in its robust oncology pipeline, initiating Phase 3 trials for four investigational medicines, including bomedemstat
(LSD1 inhibitor), nemtabrutinib (BTK inhibitor), MK-2870 (anti-TROP2 antibody-drug conjugate) and MK-5684 (CYP11A1 inhibitor).
In vaccines, Merck received Priority Review from
the FDA for a BLA for V116, the company’s investigational, 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine specifically designed to protect
adults, based on results from multiple Phase 3 trials. The FDA set a PDUFA date of June 17, 2024. If approved, V116 would be the
first pneumococcal conjugate vaccine to include serotypes responsible for approximately 83 percent of adult invasive pneumococcal disease
in individuals 65 and older, according to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data from 2018-2021.
In hospital acute care, the European Commission
(EC) approved PREVYMIS for prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in high-risk adult kidney transplant recipients and extended 200-day
dosing in adult hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients who are at high risk for late CMV infection and disease.
Merck continued to augment its pipeline through
business development, and in January 2024, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Harpoon Therapeutics, Inc. (Harpoon),
for an approximate total equity value of $680 million, further diversifying its oncology pipeline.
Notable recent news releases on Merck’s pipeline

Full-Year 2024 Financial Outlook
The following table summarizes the company’s
full-year financial outlook.
| |
Full Year 2024 |
Sales* | |
$62.7 to $64.2 billion |
Non-GAAP gross margin2 | |
Approximately 80.5% |
Non-GAAP operating expenses2** | |
$25.1 to $26.1 billion |
Non-GAAP other (income) expense, net2 | |
Approximately $200 million expense |
Non-GAAP effective tax rate2 | |
14.5% to 15.5% |
Non-GAAP EPS2*** | |
$8.44 to $8.59 |
Share count (assuming dilution) | |
Approximately 2.54 billion |
*The company does not have any non-GAAP adjustments
to sales.
**Includes approximately $650 million of R&D
expense related to the recently announced Harpoon acquisition, which is expected to close in the first half of 2024. Outlook does not
assume any additional significant potential business development transactions.
***Includes a one-time charge of approximately $0.26
per share related to the Harpoon acquisition.
Merck has not provided a reconciliation of forward-looking
non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP EPS
to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, given it cannot predict with reasonable certainty the amounts necessary for such a reconciliation,
including intangible asset impairment charges, legal settlements, and income and losses from investments in equity securities either owned
directly or through ownership interests in investment funds, without unreasonable effort. These items are inherently difficult to forecast
and could have a significant impact on the company’s future GAAP results.
Merck anticipates full-year 2024 sales to be between
$62.7 billion and $64.2 billion, including a negative impact of foreign exchange of approximately 2% at mid-January 2024 exchange
rates. The negative impact is primarily due to the devaluation of the Argentine peso, which the company expects will largely be offset
by inflation-related price increases, consistent with market practice.
The outlook for operating expenses reflects incremental
R&D spending expected to be incurred to advance the development of promising programs related to the acquisitions of Prometheus, Imago
and Harpoon, as well as the collaborations with Daiichi Sankyo and Kelun-Biotech.
Merck’s full-year non-GAAP effective income
tax rate is expected to be between 14.5% and 15.5%.
Merck expects full-year 2024 non-GAAP EPS to be
between $8.44 and $8.59, including a negative impact of foreign exchange of approximately $0.25 per share. In 2023, non-GAAP EPS of $1.51
was negatively impacted by charges of $6.21 per share related to certain acquisitions and collaboration agreements.
In early January 2024, Merck announced the
acquisition of Harpoon, which is expected to close in the first half of 2024, and result in a non-tax deductible charge of approximately
$650 million of R&D expense included in non-GAAP results. The impact of the transaction on expected full-year non-GAAP EPS is approximately
$0.26 per share, which is included in the 2024 outlook.
Consistent with past practice, the financial outlook
does not assume additional significant potential business development transactions.

Only the line
items that are affected by non-GAAP adjustments are shown.
Merck is providing certain non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing non-GAAP information enhances investors’ understanding of the company’s results because management uses non-GAAP measures to assess performance. Management uses non-GAAP measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. In addition, senior management’s annual compensation is derived in part using a non-GAAP pretax income metric. The non-GAAP information presented should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
(1) Amounts
included in cost of sales primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in
selling, general and administrative expenses reflect integration, transaction and certain other costs related to acquisitions and
divestitures. Amounts included in research and development expenses primarily reflect a $779 million in-process research
and development (IPR&D) impairment charge related to gefapixant, which was obtained as part of the 2016 Afferent Pharmaceuticals
acquisition, and expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in other (income) expense, net,
primarily reflect royalty income related to the prior termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture. Additionally,
other (income) expense, net, for the full year includes a $37 million loss on the sale of a business.
(2) Amounts primarily include employee separation costs and accelerated depreciation associated with facilities to be closed or divested related to activities under the company's formal restructuring programs.
(3) Reflects a charge related to settlements with certain plaintiffs in the Zetia antitrust litigation.
(4) Represents the estimated tax impacts on the reconciling items based on applying the statutory rate of the originating territory of the non-GAAP adjustments.
(5) Because the company recorded a net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023, no potential dilutive common shares were used in the computation of loss per common share assuming dilution as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Because the company recorded a net loss in the second and fourth quarters of 2023, no potential dilutive common shares were used
in the computation of loss per common share assuming dilution as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Only
the line items that are affected by non-GAAP adjustments are shown.
Merck
is providing certain non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on
the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing non-GAAP information enhances
investors’ understanding of the company’s results because management uses non-GAAP measures to assess performance. Management
uses non-GAAP measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other
metrics. In addition, senior management’s annual compensation is derived in part using a non-GAAP pretax income metric. The
non-GAAP information presented should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared
in accordance with GAAP.
(1)
Amounts included in cost of sales primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included
in selling, general and administrative expenses reflect integration, transaction and certain other costs related to acquisitions and
divestitures. Amounts included in research and development expenses for the fourth quarter and full year primarily reflect
$780 million and $1.7 billion, respectively, of intangible asset impairment charges largely related to nemtabrutinib, which was obtained
as part of the 2020 ArQule, Inc. acquisition, and expenses for the amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by a reduction
in expenses related to changes in the estimated fair value of liabilities for contingent consideration. Amounts included in
other (income) expense, net, reflect royalty income and decreases in the estimated fair value measurement of liabilities for contingent
consideration related to the prior termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture.
(2)
Amounts primarily include employee separation costs and accelerated depreciation associated with facilities to be closed or divested
related to activities under the company's formal restructuring programs.
(3)
Represents the estimated tax impacts on the reconciling items based on applying the statutory rate of the originating territory
of the non-GAAP adjustments.
