Pfizer said slumping demand for its Comirnaty covid vaccine and its Paxlovid antiviral treatment will mean sharply lower revenues for the full year.
shares slumped lower in pre-market trading after the drugmaker slashed its full-year sales and profits forecasts, while unveiling steep job cuts, linked to slowing demand for its Covid vaccines and treatments.
In response, Pfizer said it would write-off around $4.6 billion in Paxlovid inventories, while taking a further $5.5 billion non-cash charge against its third quarter earnings. It also unveiled plans for a $3.5 billion cost-cutting program, spread over two years, that will include a significant number of job cuts.
"Pfizer’s non-COVID product portfolio remains strong, and we continue to expect these products to achieve year-over-year operational revenue growth in the range of 6% to 8% in 2023," said CEO Albert Bourla.
