Biogen on Tuesday reported fourth-quarter revenue and profit that shrank from a year ago, as it recorded charges related to dropping its controversial Alzheimer's drug Aduhelm and as sales slumped in its multiple sclerosis therapies, the company's biggest drug category.
Biogen booked sales of $2.39 billion for the quarter, down 6% from the same period a year ago.
Revenue from multiple sclerosis products fell 8% to $1.17 billion as the therapies face competition from cheaper generics.
Adjusting for one-time items, the company reported $2.95 per share.
But the company expects its pharmaceutical revenue, which includes product revenue and its 50% share of Leqembi sales, to be flat this year compared to 2023.
