Over the five-year period, AbbVie’s revenue shows a generally upward trend from 2020 to 2022, rising from $45.8 billion to $58.1 billion, which indicates strong growth early in the period. This growth is echoed in the gross profit figures that increased from $9.2 billion in 2020 to $10.95 billion in 2022, and operating income climbed substantially from $11.36 billion to $18.12 billion. The net income also experienced a sharp jump between 2020 and 2021, growing from $4.62 billion to $11.54 billion—an increase of over 150%—before reaching $11.84 billion in 2022. Such increases suggest that AbbVie benefited from robust operational performance, likely driven by its portfolio strengths in oncology and immunology, as well as successful cost management strategies prevalent within the pharmaceutical industry. However, the period also shows notable volatility, particularly in 2023 and 2024. In 2023, revenue declined to $54.3 billion and further adjusted slightly to $56.3 billion in 2024. More significantly, gross profit and operating income saw pronounced declines in 2023—from $10.95 billion to $8.60 billion and from $18.12 billion to $12.76 billion, respectively—indicating a possible compression of margins. Net income dropped steeply in 2023 to $4.86 billion and continued to decline in 2024 to $4.28 billion. These swings exceeding 20% year-over-year could be attributed to factors such as increased cost pressures, pricing adjustments, or market uncertainties impacting drug demand. Overall, despite the recent declines, AbbVie’s historically strong performance and significant scale suggest that the company retains a resilient financial foundation, although it may need to address evolving operational challenges to sustain long-term profitability.
