Third-quarter reported sales growth of 6.9 percent; organic sales growth of 5.5 percent or 7.5 percent excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales1 Third-quarter GAAP diluted EPS of $0.94; adjusted diluted EPS of $1.30 Reported operating margin of 18.1 percent of sales; adjusted operating margin of 23.0 percent, which reflects a 40 basis point increase ,  /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025. Third-quarter sales increased 6.9 percent on a reported basis, 5.5 percent on an organic basis, or 7.5 percent when excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales1. Third-quarter GAAP diluted EPS of $0.94 and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.30, which excludes specified items. Year-to-date sales increased 6.1 percent on a reported basis, 6.4 percent on an organic basis, or 7.7 percent when excluding COVID-19 testing-related sales2. Abbott reaffirms previously provided full-year 2025 organic sales growth guidance. Abbott reaffirms the midpoint of previously provided full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance range and narrows the range to $5.12 to $5.18, reflecting double-digit growth at the midpoint. In July, Abbott announced it received regulatory approval in Japan for TriClip®, a first of-its-kind, minimally invasive treatment option for patients with tricuspid regurgitation, or a leaky tricuspid heart valve. In August, Abbott announced it received CE Mark for an expanded indication for the company's Navitor® transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) system to treat people with symptomatic, severe aortic stenosis who are at low or intermediate risk for open-heart surgery. In August, at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress, new treatment guidelines were issued that provide additional support for the use of MitraClip® and TriClip in treating valvular heart disease. These new guidelines were backed by evidence from multiple clinical studies. "Our third-quarter results demonstrate our ability to deliver consistent, high-quality performance," said Robert B. Ford, chairman and chief executive officer, Abbott. "Our differentiated product pipeline continues to power our performance and positions Abbott to deliver durable long-term value to our shareholders." THIRD-QUARTER BUSINESS OVERVIEW Management believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis, which excludes the impact of foreign exchange and the impact of discontinuing the ZonePerfect® product line in the Nutrition business, is an appropriate way for investors to best understand the core underlying performance of the business. Management further believes that measuring sales growth rates on an organic basis excluding COVID-19 tests is an appropriate way for investors to best understand the underlying performance of the company as the demand for COVID-19 tests has significantly declined following the transition from a pandemic to endemic phase. Note: In order to compute results excluding the impact of exchange rates, current year U.S. dollar sales are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the current year average foreign exchange rates and then those amounts are multiplied or divided, as appropriate, by the prior year average foreign exchange rates.   Third Quarter 2025 Results (3Q25) Sales 3Q25 ($ in millions) Total Company Nutrition Diagnostics Established Pharmaceuticals Medical Devices U.S. 4,299 888 886 — 2,521 International 7,070 1,265 1,367 1,511 2,927 Total reported 11,369 2,153 2,253 1,511 5,448 % Change vs. 3Q24 U.S. 2.3 (6.5) (14.1) n/a 13.8 International 9.9 13.3 (1.0) 7.5 15.6 Total reported 6.9 4.2 (6.6) 7.5 14.8 Impact of foreign exchange 1.4 0.2 1.2 0.4 2.3 Organic 5.5 4.0 (7.8) 7.1 12.5 Impact of COVID-19 testing sales 1 (2.0) — (8.2) — — Organic (excluding COVID-19 tests) 7.5 4.0 0.4 7.1 12.5 Organic     U.S. 2.3 (6.5) (14.1) n/a 13.8     International 7.6 13.0 (3.1) 7.1 11.3 First Nine Months 2025 Results (9M25) Sales 9M25 ($ in millions) Total Company Nutrition Diagnostics EstablishedPharmaceuticals Medical Devices U.S. 12,743 2,800 2,568 — 7,363 International 20,126 3,711 3,912 4,154 8,349 Total reported 32,869 6,511 6,480 4,154 15,712 % Change vs. 9M24 U.S. 6.4 1.4 (7.4) n/a 14.4 International 6.0 5.3 (3.3) 5.8 11.3 Total reported 6.1 3.6 (5.0) 5.8 12.8 Impact of foreign exchange (0.3) (0.9) (0.2) (1.7) 0.4 Impact of business exit* — (0.2) — — — Organic 6.4 4.7 (4.8) 7.5 12.4 Impact of COVID-19 testing sales 2 (1.3) — (5.4) — — Organic (excluding COVID-19 tests) 7.7 4.7 0.6 7.5 12.4 Organic     U.S. 6.5 1.9 (7.4) n/a 14.4     International 6.4 6.9 (3.0) 7.5 10.7 Refer to table titled "Non-GAAP Revenue Reconciliation" for a reconciliation of adjusted historical revenue to reported revenue. *Reflects the impact of discontinuing the ZonePerfect® product line in the Nutrition business in March 2024.
