NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) today announced strong fourth quarter sales and earnings growth driven by the company's continued operational and strategic execution.

"Our top-line sales growth and improved operating margins reflect excellent execution across our company," said James M. Cornelius, chairman and chief executive officer. "As a result, we have strengthened our financial position and are well prepared to continue delivering on our BioPharma strategy in 2010. In 2009, we completed strategic initiatives such as splitting off Mead Johnson, acquiring Medarex and extending our Abilify commercialization agreement with Otsuka; all of which significantly address present and future challenges.

Bristol-Myers Squibb is now truly a focused biopharmaceutical company which continues to deliver shareholder value and helps patients prevail over serious diseases."

STRATEGIC UPDATE

Bristol-Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly and Company have restructured the Collaboration Agreement executed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and ImClone in 2001 related to necitumumab (IMC-11F8), which is a novel targeted cancer therapy currently in Phase III development for non-small cell lung cancer. As restructured, both companies will share in the cost of developing and potentially commercializing necitumumab in the U.S., Canada and Japan. Lilly maintains exclusive rights to necitumumab in all other markets.
On December 23, the company completed its strategic split-off of its shares of Mead Johnson:
The split-off focuses Bristol-Myers Squibb completely on its biopharmaceutical business.
Through the exchange offer, the company reduced its number of outstanding shares by 269 million.
Mead Johnson results are reflected as discontinued operations.
On November 10, the company and Alder BioPharmaceuticals entered into a global agreement for the development and commercialization of ALD518, a novel biologic that has completed Phase IIa development for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. ALD518 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting IL-6.
FOURTH QUARTER PRODUCT AND PIPELINE UPDATE

Cardiovascular/Metabolics

In December, Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca submitted an application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a fixed dose combination of ONGLYZA® (saxagliptin) plus metformin HCl extended-release tablets. The FDA is currently reviewing the submission.
Also in December, the company and Pfizer announced plans to submit a regulatory filing in the first half of 2010 for apixaban in Europe. The companies plan to file for regulatory approval of apixaban for the prevention of venous thromboembolism after orthopedic surgery. Apixaban is a novel, oral, highly-selective Factor Xa inhibitor, a new class of agents being studied for the potential to prevent and treat blood clots in the veins and arteries.
Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca announced October 5 that the European Commission granted marketing authorization for ONGLYZA® for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults.
In October, the companies announced results of an 18-week Phase IIIb study in adults with type 2 diabetes with inadequate glycemic control on metformin therapy alone. The study showed that the addition of treatment with ONGLYZA 5mg per day achieved the primary objective of demonstrating non-inferiority compared to addition of treatment with sitagliptin 100mg per day in reducing glycosylated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) from baseline.
In October, the companies also announced results from a 24-week Phase III clinical study of the investigational drug dapagliflozin. The study showed that dapagliflozin, added to metformin, demonstrated significant mean reductions in the primary endpoint, HbA1c, and in the secondary endpoint, fasting plasma glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin alone, as compared to placebo plus metformin. The study also showed that individuals receiving dapagliflozin had statistically greater mean reductions in body weight compared to individuals taking placebo.
Immunology

On January 20, the European Commission approved ORENCIA® in combination with methotrexate for the treatment of moderate to severe active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in pediatric patients six years of age and older who have had an insufficient response to other disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, including at least one TNF inhibitor.
The company announced key ORENCIA data at the American College of Rheumatology annual scientific meeting:
New clinical safety data support continued development of a subcutaneous administration of ORENCIA for patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. A four month study showed that weekly administration of a 125 milligram subcutaneous dose of ORENCIA resulted in minimal, transient immunogenicity prior to month 4 after repeat dosing.
The results of the two-year AGREE study support the use of ORENCIA for methotrexate-naïve patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, of less or equal to two years duration. The data from the AGREE study show that taking ORENCIA in combination with methotrexate achieved sustained low disease activity scores at 24 months.
Neuroscience

In November, the company and its partner Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced that the FDA approved ABILIFY® for the treatment of irritability associated with autistic disorder in pediatric patients (ages 6 to 17 years).
Oncology

In December, at the 51st Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology:
Phase II data on SPRYCEL® were presented which suggested that SPRYCEL could provide chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with a more rapid, improved response than the currently-available first-line treatment, imatinib. Results from a Phase III head-to-head trial (called DASISION) of SPRYCEL and imatinib in first-line treatment of CML are expected to be announced in the first half of 2010.
The company and Facet Biotech announced promising Phase I/II interim data for elotuzumab, an investigational humanized antibody, in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.
The company and Exelixis reported new Phase II data for the developmental compound XL184 in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer. XL184 showed promising activity in GBM patients receiving a daily dose of 125 milligrams of the compound.
Virology

The company announced in November, a U.S. labeling update for REYATAZ®. The label now includes long-term data from the CASTLE study, which showed that a once-daily regimen of REYATAZ and ritonavir -- as part of combination therapy -- in previously untreated adult patients infected with HIV-1 led to an enduring virologic response through 96 weeks of treatment.
In November at the 60th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases:
The company announced 48-week data for BARACLUDE® in chronic hepatitis B patients with evidence of decompensated cirrhosis. In the patient population studied, BARACLUDE demonstrated greater viral suppression compared to adefovir.
The company and ZymoGenetics presented final Phase Ib results for PEG-Interferon lambda in hepatitis C. Antiviral activity was seen at all dose levels tested and the results support moving to dose-ranging Phase II studies in treatment-naïve hepatitis C patients.
2010 GUIDANCE

Bristol-Myers Squibb is setting its 2010 GAAP EPS from continuing operations guidance range from $1.94 to $2.04 and its non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations guidance range from $2.15 to $2.25. Key 2010 guidance assumptions include mid single-digit revenue growth; full-year gross margin consistent with last year; advertising and promotion decrease in the mid to high single-digit range; marketing, sales and administrative expense flat; research and development expense growth in the mid to high single-digit range; and an effective tax rate of between 23% and 24%. This guidance excludes any potential impact of U.S. healthcare reform.

The company has previously provided guidance that it expected non-GAAP EPS to grow at a minimum of 15 percent compound annual growth rate from the 2007 base through 2010 without rebasing for the sale of the ConvaTec business. If the company meets its expected 2010 non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations guidance, it will exceed the prior 15 percent minimum three-year compound annual growth rate guidance.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations and related earnings per share information, adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items. Among the items in GAAP measures but excluded for purposes of determining adjusted earnings and other adjusted measures are: charges related to implementation of the Productivity Transformation Initiative; gains or losses from the purchase or sale of businesses and product lines; discontinued operations; restructuring and other exit costs; accelerated depreciation charges; asset impairments; charges and recoveries relating to significant legal proceedings; upfront and milestone payments for in-licensing of products that have not achieved regulatory approval that are immediately expensed; in-process research and development charges prior to 2009; impairments to investments; special initiative funding to the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation; and significant tax events. This information is intended to enhance an investor's overall understanding of the company's past financial performance and prospects for the future. For example, non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share information is an indication of the company's baseline performance before items that are considered by the company to be not reflective of the company's ongoing results. These items are also not included in the company's operating segment results. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators the company uses as a basis for evaluating company performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting of future periods. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Strong Operational and Strategic Performance in Fourth Quarter Caps Transformative 2009
Key Products Drive Strong Fourth Quarter Top-Line Growth
Continued Focus on Productivity Leads to Improved Operating Margins
Financial Strength Reflected in Year-End Cash and Marketable Securities of $10 Billion
Company Provides 2010 GAAP EPS From Continuing Operations Guidance Range of $1.94 to $2.04; Non-GAAP EPS Guidance Range of $2.15 to $2.25
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) today announced strong fourth quarter sales and earnings growth driven by the company's continued operational and strategic execution.

"Our top-line sales growth and improved operating margins reflect excellent execution across our company," said James M. Cornelius, chairman and chief executive officer. "As a result, we have strengthened our financial position and are well prepared to continue delivering on our BioPharma strategy in 2010. In 2009, we completed strategic initiatives such as splitting off Mead Johnson, acquiring Medarex and extending our Abilify commercialization agreement with Otsuka; all of which significantly address present and future challenges.

"While fundamentally transforming our company over the past year, we were able to grow our key franchises, launch new medicines and indications, advance a diverse, differentiated, robust pipeline and embed productivity into our corporate DNA. Bristol-Myers Squibb is now truly a focused biopharmaceutical company which continues to deliver shareholder value and helps patients prevail over serious diseases."

STRATEGIC UPDATE

Bristol-Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly and Company have restructured the Collaboration Agreement executed by Bristol-Myers Squibb and ImClone in 2001 related to necitumumab (IMC-11F8), which is a novel targeted cancer therapy currently in Phase III development for non-small cell lung cancer. As restructured, both companies will share in the cost of developing and potentially commercializing necitumumab in the U.S., Canada and Japan. Lilly maintains exclusive rights to necitumumab in all other markets.
On December 23, the company completed its strategic split-off of its shares of Mead Johnson:
The split-off focuses Bristol-Myers Squibb completely on its biopharmaceutical business.
Through the exchange offer, the company reduced its number of outstanding shares by 269 million.
Mead Johnson results are reflected as discontinued operations.
On November 10, the company and Alder BioPharmaceuticals entered into a global agreement for the development and commercialization of ALD518, a novel biologic that has completed Phase IIa development for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. ALD518 is a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting IL-6.
FOURTH QUARTER PRODUCT AND PIPELINE UPDATE

Cardiovascular/Metabolics

In December, Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca submitted an application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a fixed dose combination of ONGLYZA® (saxagliptin) plus metformin HCl extended-release tablets. The FDA is currently reviewing the submission.
Also in December, the company and Pfizer announced plans to submit a regulatory filing in the first half of 2010 for apixaban in Europe. The companies plan to file for regulatory approval of apixaban for the prevention of venous thromboembolism after orthopedic surgery. Apixaban is a novel, oral, highly-selective Factor Xa inhibitor, a new class of agents being studied for the potential to prevent and treat blood clots in the veins and arteries.
Bristol-Myers Squibb and AstraZeneca announced October 5 that the European Commission granted marketing authorization for ONGLYZA® for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults.
In October, the companies announced results of an 18-week Phase IIIb study in adults with type 2 diabetes with inadequate glycemic control on metformin therapy alone. The study showed that the addition of treatment with ONGLYZA 5mg per day achieved the primary objective of demonstrating non-inferiority compared to addition of treatment with sitagliptin 100mg per day in reducing glycosylated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) from baseline.
In October, the companies also announced results from a 24-week Phase III clinical study of the investigational drug dapagliflozin. The study showed that dapagliflozin, added to metformin, demonstrated significant mean reductions in the primary endpoint, HbA1c, and in the secondary endpoint, fasting plasma glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with metformin alone, as compared to placebo plus metformin. The study also showed that individuals receiving dapagliflozin had statistically greater mean reductions in body weight compared to individuals taking placebo.
Immunology

On January 20, the European Commission approved ORENCIA® in combination with methotrexate for the treatment of moderate to severe active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis in pediatric patients six years of age and older who have had an insufficient response to other disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs, including at least one TNF inhibitor.
The company announced key ORENCIA data at the American College of Rheumatology annual scientific meeting:
New clinical safety data support continued development of a subcutaneous administration of ORENCIA for patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. A four month study showed that weekly administration of a 125 milligram subcutaneous dose of ORENCIA resulted in minimal, transient immunogenicity prior to month 4 after repeat dosing.
The results of the two-year AGREE study support the use of ORENCIA for methotrexate-naïve patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, of less or equal to two years duration. The data from the AGREE study show that taking ORENCIA in combination with methotrexate achieved sustained low disease activity scores at 24 months.
Neuroscience

In November, the company and its partner Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced that the FDA approved ABILIFY® for the treatment of irritability associated with autistic disorder in pediatric patients (ages 6 to 17 years).
Oncology

In December, at the 51st Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology:
Phase II data on SPRYCEL® were presented which suggested that SPRYCEL could provide chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with a more rapid, improved response than the currently-available first-line treatment, imatinib. Results from a Phase III head-to-head trial (called DASISION) of SPRYCEL and imatinib in first-line treatment of CML are expected to be announced in the first half of 2010.
The company and Facet Biotech announced promising Phase I/II interim data for elotuzumab, an investigational humanized antibody, in patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.
The company and Exelixis reported new Phase II data for the developmental compound XL184 in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and aggressive form of brain cancer. XL184 showed promising activity in GBM patients receiving a daily dose of 125 milligrams of the compound.
Virology

The company announced in November, a U.S. labeling update for REYATAZ®. The label now includes long-term data from the CASTLE study, which showed that a once-daily regimen of REYATAZ and ritonavir -- as part of combination therapy -- in previously untreated adult patients infected with HIV-1 led to an enduring virologic response through 96 weeks of treatment.
In November at the 60th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases:
The company announced 48-week data for BARACLUDE® in chronic hepatitis B patients with evidence of decompensated cirrhosis. In the patient population studied, BARACLUDE demonstrated greater viral suppression compared to adefovir.
The company and ZymoGenetics presented final Phase Ib results for PEG-Interferon lambda in hepatitis C. Antiviral activity was seen at all dose levels tested and the results support moving to dose-ranging Phase II studies in treatment-naïve hepatitis C patients.
2010 GUIDANCE

Bristol-Myers Squibb is setting its 2010 GAAP EPS from continuing operations guidance range from $1.94 to $2.04 and its non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations guidance range from $2.15 to $2.25. Key 2010 guidance assumptions include mid single-digit revenue growth; full-year gross margin consistent with last year; advertising and promotion decrease in the mid to high single-digit range; marketing, sales and administrative expense flat; research and development expense growth in the mid to high single-digit range; and an effective tax rate of between 23% and 24%. This guidance excludes any potential impact of U.S. healthcare reform.

The company has previously provided guidance that it expected non-GAAP EPS to grow at a minimum of 15 percent compound annual growth rate from the 2007 base through 2010 without rebasing for the sale of the ConvaTec business. If the company meets its expected 2010 non-GAAP EPS from continuing operations guidance, it will exceed the prior 15 percent minimum three-year compound annual growth rate guidance.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP earnings from continuing operations and related earnings per share information, adjusted to exclude certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items. Among the items in GAAP measures but excluded for purposes of determining adjusted earnings and other adjusted measures are: charges related to implementation of the Productivity Transformation Initiative; gains or losses from the purchase or sale of businesses and product lines; discontinued operations; restructuring and other exit costs; accelerated depreciation charges; asset impairments; charges and recoveries relating to significant legal proceedings; upfront and milestone payments for in-licensing of products that have not achieved regulatory approval that are immediately expensed; in-process research and development charges prior to 2009; impairments to investments; special initiative funding to the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation; and significant tax events. This information is intended to enhance an investor's overall understanding of the company's past financial performance and prospects for the future. For example, non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share information is an indication of the company's baseline performance before items that are considered by the company to be not reflective of the company's ongoing results. These items are also not included in the company's operating segment results. In addition, this information is among the primary indicators the company uses as a basis for evaluating company performance, allocating resources, setting incentive compensation targets, and planning and forecasting of future periods. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings or diluted earnings per share prepared in accordance with GAAP.
