ABT’s Lingo CGM now shipping in US:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/abbotts-lingo-continuous-glucose-monitor-130000534.html Abbott…today announced U.S. availability of Lingo, the company's first continuous glucose monitoring system available without a prescription. The Lingo system includes a biosensor and a mobile app designed for consumers who want to improve their overall health and wellness. Lingo is based on Abbott's world-leading FreeStyle Libre continuous glucose monitoring technology, now used by more than 6 million people with diabetes globally.

…Abbott's consumer biowearable, Lingo, is available for consumers 18 years and older not on insulin. Lingo tracks glucose in real-time and provides personal insights and coaching to help people build healthy habits, retrain their metabolism and improve their overall well-being. The competition for Lingo is DXCM’s Stelo CGM, which is also available without a prescription.

Inasmuch as ABT’s Freestyle Libre has annualized sales of about $6B(!), Lingo ought to move the needle even for a company as big as ABT.

ABT reports 2Q24 results—raises 2024 guidance slightly—for the second consecutive quarter, stock sells off because ABT didn’t raise 2024 guidance to a larger degree:

https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2024-07-18-Abbott-Reports-Second-Quarter-2024-Results-and-Raises-Full-Year-Guidance

2024 guidance for organic sales growth excluding COVID diagnostics is now 9.5-10%, up from the prior guidance of 8.5-10% given three months ago.

2024 guidance for non-GAAP EPS (which excludes FX and restructuring costs) is now $4.61-4.70, up from the prior guidance of $4.55-4.70 given three months ago.

2Q24 non-GAAP and GAAP EPS were $1.14 and $0.74, respectively, versus $1.08 and $0.78 in 2Q23. These YOY comparisons were adversely affected by a 56% decline in COVID-diagnostic sales, which were $102M in 2Q24 in 2Q24 vs $230M in 2Q23.

…To preserve muscle mass during weight loss, research shows adults may need at least 50 percent more protein than the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). High protein consumption can also support weight loss maintenance. Citations for the claims in the above paragraph are in the footnotes of ABT’s press release.

https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2023-10-18-Abbott-Reports-Third-Quarter-2023-Results-and-Raises-Midpoint-of-Full-Year-EPS-Guidance-Range

ABT continues to expect 2023 organic sales growth (excluding COVID-diagnostic sales) in the low double digits. 3Q23 organic sales growth was 13.5%.

3Q23 GAAP and non-GAAP EPS were $0.82 and $1.14, respectively, flat versus $0.81 and $1.15 in 3Q22. The YoY flatness was due to sharply lower COVID-diagnostics revenue: $305M in 3Q23 vs $1.67B in 3Q22. (ABT now expects 2023 COVID-diagnostics sales of $1.5B, which implies ~$200M for 4Q23.)

ABT raised the midpoint and tightened the ranges for 2023 EPS guidance. The new guidance is: GAAP $3.14-3.18 (from the prior range of $3.02-3.22); and non-GAAP $4.42-4.46 (from the prior range of $4.30-4.50).

3Q23 FreeStyle Libre sales were $1.4B, +29% YoY. FreeStyle Libre is already the largest-selling medical device, ever, from any company.

…Bigfoot developed Bigfoot Unity, a smart insulin management system that features the first and only FDA-cleared connected insulin pen caps that use integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) data along with healthcare provider instructions to provide insulin dosing recommendations. The dosing recommendations are displayed on the pen cap's digital screen to help people know how much insulin to take.

The Bigfoot Unity system exclusively works with Abbott's world-leading FreeStyle Libre technology and includes a customer smartphone app connected to a cloud-based online portal used by healthcare providers to support their patients, including through remote care. The system works with FreeStyle Libre 2 sensors and all major brands of both long-acting (basal) and rapid-acting (bolus) disposable insulin pens offered in the United States. ABT’s FreeStyle Libre has annualized sales of more than $5B and is the largest-selling medical device, ever (#msg-172393724).

https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2023-07-20-Abbott-Reports-Second-Quarter-2023-Results-Increases-Outlook-For-Underlying-Base-Business

2Q23 GAAP and non-GAAP EPS were $0.78 and $1.08, respectively, down from $1.14 and $1.43 in 2Q22. The YoY declines were due to sharply lower COVID-diagnostics revenue: $263M in 1Q23 vs $2.3B in 2Q22. (ABT now expects 2023 COVID-diagnostics sales of $1.3B, which implies ~$300M for 2H23.)

2Q23 FreeStyle Libre sales were $1.3B, +25% YoY. FreeStyle Libre is already the largest-selling medical device, ever, from any company.

ABT’s full-year 2023 guidance is essentially unchanged from three months ago: GAAP EPS of $3.02-3.22; and non-GAAP EPS (which excludes restructuring costs and FX) of $4.30-4.50. ABT was able to retain the pre-existing guidance despite the reduced forecast for 2H23 COVID diagnostics because the 2H23 outlook for ABT’s organic (non-COVID) business has improved.

Specifically, ABT now expects 2023 organic sales growth in the low double digits, an upgrade from the guidance three months ago of “at least high dingle digits.” 2Q23 organic sales growth was 11.5%, up from 10% in 1Q23.

ABT reports 1Q23 results—slightly increases 2023 guidance:

https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2023-04-19-Abbott-Reports-First-Quarter-2023-Results-Increases-Outlook-For-Underlying-Base-Business

1Q23 GAAP and non-GAAP EPS were $0.75 and $1.03, respectively, down from $1.37 and $1.73 in 1Q22. The reason for the decline is, of course, falling COVID-diagnostics revenue, which was $730M in 1Q23 vs $3.3B in 1Q22.

1Q23 FreeStyle Libre sales were $1.2B, +9% QoQ and +20% YoY (+50% YoY in the US).

ABT reiterated full-year 2023 guidance from three months ago: GAAP EPS of $3.05-3.25; and non-GAAP EPS (which excludes restructuring costs and FX) of $4.30-4.50.

ABT now expects 2023 COVID-diagnostics sales of $1.5B (i.e. $770M for the remaining nine months of the year, only slightly above the $730M logged in 1Q23).

Excluding COVID diagnostics, ABT expect 2023 organic sales growth of “at least high dingle digits,” which is a subtle word change from three months ago when the phrase “at least” was not in the guidance language. In 1Q23, organic sales growth excluding COVID diagnostics was 10.0%.

The stock is +7% as I’m typing. Investors are evidently impressed with ABT’s ability to maintain—and subtly increase (see above)—2023 guidance despite the steep falloff in COVID sales.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/u-fda-clears-abbotts-freestyle-120000948.html Abbott today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its FreeStyle Libre 2 and FreeStyle Libre 3 integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) system sensors for integration with automated insulin delivery (AID) systems.

…AID systems help people manage daily diabetes care by automatically adjusting and administering the insulin delivered by an insulin pump based on real-time glucose data from their FreeStyle Libre 2 or FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors.

Abbott is working with leading insulin pump manufacturers to integrate their systems with the FreeStyle Libre 2 and FreeStyle Libre 3 sensors as soon as possible. The company is partnering with Insulet and Tandem for future integrations in multiple countries, including the U.S. Outside the U.S., Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor is already authorized to work with the mylife Loop solution from Ypsomed and CamDiab in Germany, with additional launches in the UK, Switzerland and the Netherlands planned for the first half of this year. FreeStyle Libre, already the biggest-selling medical device from any company, is projected to reach $10B(!) in annual sales during the next five yeaqrs, according to ABT’s statement at the JPM conference in January 2023 (#msg-170908089).

• CSI's offering will support Abbott's ability to provide better care for patients with peripheral and coronary artery disease The nominal deal value is $890M. Closing requires approval of CSII’s shareholders, but that’s a fait accompli.

ABT reports 4Q22 results—issues 2023 guidance:

https://abbott.mediaroom.com/2023-01-25-Abbott-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2022-Results-Issues-2023-Financial-Outlook

2023 GAAP EPS guidance is $3.05-3.25, -19% YoY at the midpoint of the range. 2023 non-GAAP EPS guidance (which excludes restructuring costs and FX) is $4.30-4.50, -18% YoY at the midpoint of the range.

The reason 2023 guidance is below 2022 results for both GAAP and non-GAAP EPS is, of course, declining COVID-diagnostics revenue. In 2022, ABT sold $8.4B of COVID diagnostics, but 2023 guidance is only $2.0B as testing volume has fallen off rapidly from the peak of the pandemic.

On a positive note, 4Q22 Freestyle Libre sales were $1.1B, including a 40% YoY increase in the US market.

Excluding COVID diagnostics, ABT expects 2023 organic sales growth in the high dingle digits.
