The block will be lifted automatically by waiting 10 minutes. Continuing to exceed the SEC’s maximum allowable request rate during the time-out period will extend the duration of the time-out period. To ensure fair access for all users, please reduce the rate of your requests and visit SEC.gov again after the 10 minute time-out period has passed.

For the first quarter of 2026, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) loss / earnings per share (EPS) assuming dilution was a loss per share of $1.72 and non-GAAP loss per share was $1.28. Both the GAAP and non-GAAP loss per share were due to a charge for the acquisition of Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. (Cidara) of $3.62 per share.

Non-GAAP

EPS excludes acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and costs related to restructuring programs, as well as income and losses from investments in equity securities.

2 Net (loss) income attributable to the Company.

3 The Company is providing certain 2026 and 2025 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, annual employee compensation, including senior management’s compensation, is derived in part using a non-GAAP pretax 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.

Incorporated by reference is a press release issued by Merck & Co., Inc. on February 1, 2024, regarding earnings for the fourth quarter and year end of 2023, attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On January 29, 2024, the Company approved a new restructuring program (the “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 optimize the Animal Health global manufacturing network to improve supply reliability and increase efficiency.

The actions contemplated under the 2024 Restructuring Program are expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2031, with the cumulative pretax costs to be incurred by the Company to implement the program estimated to be approximately $4.0 billion. Approximately 60% of the $4.0 billion will be non-cash, relating primarily to the accelerated depreciation of facilities to be closed or divested; the remainder of the costs will result in cash outlays primarily relating to facility shutdown costs.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The disclosure set forth in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is also responsive to Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In order to align with views expressed by members of the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) during a recent consultation between companies in Merck & Co., Inc.’s (“Merck” or the “Company”) pharmaceutical industry peer group and the Staff, the Company is changing the treatment of certain items for purposes of its non-GAAP reporting. Historically, Merck’s non-GAAP results excluded expenses for upfront and milestone payments related to collaborations and licensing agreements, as well as charges related to pre-approval assets obtained in transactions accounted for as asset acquisitions, to the extent the charges were considered by the Company to be significant to the results of a particular period (as well as any related adjustments recorded in a subsequent period). Beginning in 2022, Merck’s non-GAAP results will no longer exclude charges related to these items. This change will not affect the Company’s non-GAAP results to be reported for the first quarter of 2022, nor does it affect previously reported first quarter 2021 non-GAAP results, as the Company had no significant charges related to those items during such periods. However, the change will affect previously reported non-GAAP results for other periods of 2021 and for 2020 as set forth in the Company’s recast 2021 and 2020 non-GAAP results attached as Exhibit 99.1.

About Merck & Company Inc. (new) (MRK) Earnings

This page provides Merck & Company Inc. (new) (MRK) earnings call transcripts from SEC 8-K filings along with AI-powered predictions for post-earnings price movements. Our machine learning models analyze historical earnings data, pre-earnings price patterns, volume changes, and volatility to predict 1-day, 5-day, and 20-day returns after each earnings release.

Earnings transcripts are sourced directly from SEC EDGAR filings. Predictions are generated using gradient boosting models trained on MRK's historical earnings reactions. All predicted returns are shown as percentages, and predicted prices are calculated from the closing price at the time of prediction. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
