Rhea-AI Filing Summary

GSK reports solid 2025 results with growth led by Specialty Medicines and confirms its medium-term outlook. Turnover reached £32.7 billion, up 7% at constant exchange rates, while Core operating profit rose 11% and Core EPS increased 12% to 172.0p.

Specialty Medicines sales grew 17% at constant exchange rates to £13.5 billion, driven by double‑digit gains in HIV, Respiratory, Immunology & Inflammation, and Oncology, where sales rose 43%. Vaccines delivered 2% growth, with strong ex‑US demand for Shingrix, meningitis vaccines and Arexvy offsetting weaker US shingles and RSV trends.

Free cash flow climbed to £4.0 billion, supporting dividends of 66p per share for 2025, a Q4 dividend of 18p, and a planned 70p dividend for 2026, alongside a £2 billion share buyback of which £1.4 billion is executed. For 2026, GSK guides to turnover growth of 3–5% and Core EPS growth of 7–9% at constant exchange rates and reiterates a 2031 sales outlook of more than £40 billion.

Positive

  • Core profitability and EPS grew double-digit, with Core operating profit up 11% to £9.8 billion and Core EPS up 12% to 172.0p, driven by strong Specialty Medicines and Vaccines, better mix and higher royalty income.
  • High-growth portfolio and pipeline support long-term targets, including 17% Specialty Medicines growth (Oncology +43%), five major FDA approvals in 2025, multiple pivotal readouts expected in 2026, and reaffirmed 2031 sales outlook of more than £40 billion.

Negative

  • Leverage increased despite strong cash generation, as net debt rose from £13.1 billion to £14.5 billion, reflecting acquisition spending, £2.6 billion of dividends and £1.4 billion of share buybacks executed within a £2 billion programme.
  • US Vaccines and pricing headwinds weigh on some franchises, with US Shingrix and Arexvy sales declining, influenza vaccines under competitive pressure, and adverse impacts from the IRA Medicare Part D redesign across parts of Specialty Medicines, Vaccines and General Medicines.

Insights

Strong Specialty Medicines and cash generation underpin higher EPS, dividend and buybacks.

GSK delivered 2025 turnover of £32.7 billion, up 7% at constant exchange rates, with £13.5 billion of Specialty Medicines growing 17%. Oncology sales rose 43% and HIV grew 11%, showing that newer assets such as Dovato, Cabenuva, Apretude, Jemperli and Ojjaara/Omjjara are driving the portfolio mix shift.

Core operating profit increased 11% to £9.8 billion and Core EPS rose 12% to 172.0p, helped by higher royalty income of £879 million and lower cost ratios. Total EPS more than doubled as prior‑year Zantac charges did not repeat, though 2025 still includes sizeable non‑core items like contingent consideration remeasurements and impairments.

Cash generated from operations reached £8.9 billion and free cash flow £4.0 billion, supporting dividends of 66p for 2025, a guided 70p for 2026, and a £2 billion buyback, with £1.4 billion completed. Net debt increased to £14.5 billion, mainly from acquisitions and shareholder returns. Management guides 2026 Core EPS growth of 7–9% and reiterates a 2031 sales outlook above £40 billion, anchored by a pipeline that saw five major FDA approvals in 2025 and multiple pivotal readouts expected through 2026.

Guidance all at CER
 
Luke Miels, Chief Executive Officer, GSK:
“GSK delivered another strong performance in 2025, driven mainly by Specialty Medicines, with double-digit sales growth in Respiratory, Immunology & Inflammation (RI&I), Oncology and HIV. Good R&D progress also continued, with 5 major product approvals achieved and several acquisitions and new partnerships completed to strengthen the pipeline further in oncology and RI&I. We expect this positive momentum to continue in 2026, which will be a key year of execution and operational delivery with strong focus on commercial launches and accelerating R&D. We are well placed to move forward in this next phase for GSK - to deliver our outlooks - and to create new value for patients and shareholders.”
 
The Total results are presented in summary above and on page 8 and Core results reconciliations are presented on pages 20-21 and 23-24. Core results are a non-IFRS measure that may be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, information presented in accordance with IFRS. The following terms are defined on pages 53-54: Core results, AER% growth, CER% growth and other non-IFRS measures. GSK provides guidance on a Core results basis only for the reasons set out on page 18. All expectations, guidance and targets regarding future performance and dividend payments should be read together with ‘Guidance and outlooks, assumptions and cautionary statements’ on page 55-56. Abbreviations are defined on page 57.
 
 
2026 Guidance
GSK provides its full-year 2026 guidance at constant exchange rates (CER).
 
 
 Turnover is expected to increase between 3 to 5 per cent
 Core operating profit is expected to increase between 7 to 9 per cent
 Core earnings per share is expected to increase between 7 to 9 per cent
 
 
This guidance is supported by the following turnover expectations for full-year 2026 at CER
 
 
 
 
 Specialty Medicines
expected increase of a low double-digit per cent in turnover
 Vaccines
expected decline of a low single-digit per cent to stable in turnover 
 General Medicines
expected decline of a low single-digit per cent to stable in turnover
 
 
Core operating profit is expected to grow between 7 to 9 per cent at CER. GSK expects to deliver leverage at a gross margin level due to improved product mix from Specialty Medicines growth and continued operational efficiencies. In addition, GSK anticipates further leverage in Operating profit as we continue to take a returns-based approach to SG&A investments, with SG&A expected to grow at a low single-digit percentage. Royalty income is now expected to be at £800-850 million. R&D is expected to grow ahead of sales as we continue to invest in the pipeline while driving operational efficiencies.
 
Core earnings per share is also expected to increase between 7 to 9 per cent at CER, in line with Core operating profit growth, reflecting higher interest charges and the tax rate which is expected to rise to around 17.5%, offset by the expected benefit from the share buyback programme. Expectations for non-controlling interests remain unchanged relative to 2025.
 
Agreement with US Government to lower the cost of prescription medicines for American patients
 
As previously announced, on 19 December 2025 GSK entered into an agreement with the US Administration to lower the cost of prescription medicines for American patients. The agreement entered into covers both GSK and ViiV Healthcare and, assuming expected implementation, excludes both companies from s232 tariffs for 3 years. Detailed terms of the agreement remain confidential. Our full year guidance is inclusive of the expected impact of the agreement.
 
Dividend policy
 
GSK has declared an increased dividend for Q4 2025 of 18p per share and 66p per share for the full year 2025, reflecting strong business performance during 2025 and consistent with the Dividend policy and the expected pay-out ratio which remain unchanged. The expected dividend for 2026 is 70p per share. GSK's future dividend policy and guidance regarding the expected dividend pay-out in 2026 are provided on page 37.
 
GSK commenced a £2 billion share buyback programme in Q1 2025, to be implemented over the period to the end of Q2 2026.
 
Exchange rates
 
If exchange rates were to hold at the closing rates on 28 January 2026 ($1.38/£1, €1.15/£1 and Yen 210/£1) for the rest of 2026, the estimated impact on 2026 Sterling turnover growth for GSK would be -3% and if exchange gains or losses were recognised at the same level as in 2025, the estimated impact on 2026 Sterling Core Operating Profit growth for GSK would be -6%.
 
Results presentation
A conference call and webcast for investors and analysts of the quarterly results will be hosted by Luke Miels, CEO, at 11.00 am GMT (US EST at 06.00 am) on 4 February 2026. Presentation materials will be published on www.gsk.com prior to the webcast and a transcript of the webcast will be published subsequently.

HIV sales grew 11% for the full year, driven by strong patient demand growth of +10ppts with Dovato, Cabenuva and Apretude more than offsetting the decline in Triumeq following guideline changes at the end of 2024. Full year growth also benefitted from continued favourable pricing due to channel mix in the US, which offset the impact of the IRA Medicare Part D redesign and pricing pressures across the other regions. Long-acting Medicines contributed over 75% of total HIV growth in 2025 with Cabenuva contributing 55%.
 
Quarterly growth was 11%, driven by strong patient demand growth of +9ppts and continued favourable pricing from channel mix, which offset the impact of the IRA Medicare Part D redesign. The US maintained strong double-digit growth with 15% for the quarter.

Nucala is an IL-5 antagonist monoclonal antibody treatment for severe asthma, with additional indications including CRSwNP, EGPA, HES and COPD. Sales growth was driven by strong global performance, with double-digit growth across all regions in the full year and quarter reflecting higher patient demand for treatments addressing eosinophilic-led disease. US double-digit growth in the full year accelerated in the quarter following the recent launch in COPD, with increases in volume from higher patient uptake partially offset by ongoing pricing pressures including the impact of IRA Medicare Part D redesign.

Oncology sales are largely comprised of sales from Jemperli, Zejula and Ojjaara/Omjjara. Strong Oncology sales growth in the full year and quarter were largely driven by increasing patient demand for Jemperli and Ojjaara/Omjjara, partially offset by decreases in Zejula. Blenrep, a treatment in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, achieved sales in 2025 of £17 million following launch in the UK in Q2 2025, US in Q4 2025 and from further initial commercial introductions in some smaller markets during H2 2025.

Sales of Zejula, a PARP inhibitor treatment for ovarian cancer, reduced in the full year and quarter. In the US, sales decreased in the full year driven by ongoing volume reductions, including impacts of an FDA labelling update restricting use to certain patient populations, and unfavourable pricing including the impacts of IRA Medicare Part D redesign. In the quarter, the US grew single digit as these impacts were more than offset by favourable channel mix pricing adjustments. The Europe and International regions continued to decline in the full year largely driven by reduced volumes from increased competition. In the quarter, Europe declined whilst International was broadly stable.

Vaccines sales increased in both the year and quarter driven by strong ex-US demand for Shingrix, Arexvy and Meningitis vaccines, partly offset by lower US demand for Shingrix, Arexvy and Influenza vaccines together with lower International sales of Established vaccines.

Shingrix had another record year, in which sales grew strongly in both the year and quarter reflecting double-digit growth in Europe and International driven by significant increased demand, partly offset by lower sales in the US.
 
In Europe, Shingrix sales grew at 42% for the year and quarter driven by continuous strong uptake from the launch in France together with higher market demand and expanded public funding across several countries.
 
Sales of Shingrix in International increased by 13% for the year reflecting accelerated demand in Japan following expanded reimbursement from April 2025 together with continued uptake across several countries, partially offset by a strong 2024 comparator including rapid uptake from the national immunisation programme (NIP) in Australia. Q4 2025 sales growth also benefitted from higher sales to our co-promotion partner in China versus a low 2024 comparator.
 
US sales decreased by 17% in the year and quarter due to the continuing slowdown in the pace of penetration of harder-to-activate unvaccinated consumers. The US cumulative immunisation rate reached 44%, up 4 percentage points compared to 12 months earlier(1).
 
Shingrix is now launched in 61 countries, 29 of those with public funding, with markets outside the US representing 66% of 2025 global sales (2024: 56%). The overwhelming majority of ex-US Shingrix opportunity is concentrated in 10 markets where the average immunisation rate is around 10% with significantly higher uptake in funded cohorts.

Strong double-digit growth of Meningitis vaccines in the year was led by Bexsero, a vaccine against meningitis B and also included initial sales from the US launch of Penmenvy, a pentavalent vaccine against meningitis A, B, C, W and Y. Bexsero grew in Europe driven by continued uptake following recommendation and reimbursement in Germany together with expanded cohort recommendations in France. Sales also grew in International due to higher demand and geographic expansion.

Arexvy sales growth was driven by Europe and International related to recommendation and reimbursement in Germany and tender deliveries in Spain and Canada. While Arexvy maintained US market leading share in the older adult setting in 2025, sales declined reflecting slower market uptake impacted by a harder-to-activate patient cohort and lower market share partly offset by favourable returns provision adjustments. Q4 2025 global sales growth was positively impacted by increasing uptake momentum in Germany. Arexvy is approved in 69 markets globally, 21 countries have national RSV vaccination recommendations for older adults and 9, including the US, have reimbursement programmes for Arexvy in place at the year end.

Established Vaccines sales decreased in the full year as a result of the impact of divested brands, competitive pressure for Synflorix and Cervarix and lower US demand and unfavourable pricing for Hepatitis vaccines. This was partly offset by higher sales of measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV) vaccines, including a one-off Q3 2025 sale of bulk antigen together with favourable US CDC stockpile movements for Infanrix/Pediarix. The decline in the quarter was also driven by the timing of deliveries of Synflorix and lower sales of Rotarix.

Trelegy sales continued to grow in the full year and quarter, with continued strong volume growth across all regions reflecting patient demand, SITT class growth, and increased market share. In the US, sales exceeded £2 billion for the full year and grew double-digit, with continued strong volume growth partially offset by unfavourable pricing resulting from channel mix and pricing pressures, including the impact of IRA Medicare Part D redesign.

US performance in the full year and quarter reflected the introduction of the IRA Medicare Part D redesign, which adversely impacted a number of products across Specialty Medicines, Vaccines and General Medicines.
 
Specialty Medicines double-digit sales growth in the full year and quarter was driven by strong double-digit growth in Oncology, HIV and Benlysta, driven largely by patient demand. Nucala also grew double-digit in the full year and accelerated in the quarter following the recent launch in COPD, with increases in volume from higher patient uptake partly offset by ongoing pricing pressures.
 
Vaccines sales decreased due to lower demand for both Shingrix and Arexvy driven primarily by the continued challenge of activating harder-to reach consumers and competitive pressure for Influenza vaccines. Established vaccines growth in MMRV vaccines related to outbreaks and, for Infanrix/Pediarix, to favourable CDC stockpile replenishments which were more than offset by lower US demand and unfavourable pricing for Hepatitis vaccines
 
General Medicines sales were broadly stable in the full year and quarter. Trelegy sales grew double-digit in the full year and quarter driven by strong volume increases. Growth in Trelegy was offset by reductions in other products across the other respiratory and Other General Medicine portfolios.

Specialty Medicines sales grew double-digit in the full year and quarter due to continued strong performance in Oncology, Benlysta and Nucala including the benefit from new indication launches. HIV sales grew single-digit in the full year and quarter driven by patient demand.
 
Vaccines sales grew around 30% in both the year and quarter driven by Shingrix launch uptake in France together with higher market demand and expanded public funding across several countries. Arexvy and Bexsero sales also grew strongly mainly in Germany following recommendations and reimbursements.
 
General Medicines sales decreased in the full year and quarter, with growth for Trelegy and Anoro being more than offset by decreases across other general medicine products.

Specialty Medicines double-digit sales growth in the full year and quarter was driven by Nucala in respiratory, Benlysta in immunology, and Oncology. HIV sales grew mid single-digit in the full year, however were broadly stable in the quarter due to the timings of tenders.
 
Vaccines sales grew in the year driven by accelerated Shingrix demand primarily in Japan, partly offset by a strong 2024 comparator in Australia. Growth across Shingrix, Meningitis vaccines and Arexvy was partly offset by lower sales of Established vaccines primarily reflecting the impact of divested brands and lower demand. Sales in the quarter also benefitted from higher Shingrix sales to our co-promotion partner in China versus a low 2024 comparator.
 
General Medicines sales were broadly stable in the full year and the quarter. Performance reflected double-digit growth for Trelegy and growth in Anoro being offset by decreases across other general medicine products.

Total cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased in the full year and quarter primarily driven by core cost of sales benefits and in the full year from additional amortisation in Q3 2024 for Zejula and Jemperli as well as lower major restructuring and transaction-related items.
 
Core cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased in the full year and quarter, with benefits from Specialty Medicines and regional mix as well as operational efficiencies, being offset by inventory provision movements compared to 2024. The full year also included pricing impacts largely due to the implementation of Medicare Part D reform as well as an adverse comparison to higher price benefits in the comparator period. The quarter also included higher margin Vaccines in International and supply chain charges at a similar level to Q4 2024.

Total SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased in the full year driven by lower Significant legal expenses, driven by the Q3 2024 charge of £1.8 billion ($2.3 billion) in relation to Zantac.
 
Core SG&A growth in the full year and quarter reflected continued disciplined investment to support new asset launches, including Blenrep, Penmenvy, Exdensur and Blujepa, as well as growth of key assets including Nucala, Shingrix, long-acting HIV medicines and Ojjaara/Omjjara, as well as charges in the quarter to drive future efficiencies. This was offset by reallocation of spend from General Medicines and the acceleration of ongoing productivity initiatives. Full year Core SG&A growth also included a one percentage point impact driven by the Q1 2024 reversal of the legal provision related to the Zejula royalty dispute, following a successful appeal.

Total R&D increase in the full year and quarter was driven by an increase in Core R&D investment, as well as higher impairment charges in the full year which included an impairment charge of £471 million related to the termination of the belrestotug development programme (anti-TIGIT mAb) in Q2 2025.
 
Core R&D investment increased reflecting progression across the portfolio. In Oncology, this included acceleration in work on ADCs (B7-H3 and B7-H4) and IDRX-42, the GIST treatment acquired in Q1 2025. In Specialty Medicines, increased investment was driven by efimosfermin acquired from Boston Pharmaceuticals in Q3 2025 and bepirovirsen, as well as progression of ULA treatment and PrEP programmes, notably Q4M and Q6M. Growth in the full year and quarter was partly offset by lower spend on depemokimab following filing in Q4 2024.
 
Investment also increased on clinical trial programmes associated with the pneumococcal MAPS and mRNA seasonal flu.

The full year other operating income reflected a charge of £488 million (2024: £1,839 million) principally arising from the remeasurement of CCLs and the liabilities for the Pfizer, Inc (Pfizer) put option, primarily reflecting the net impact of discount unwind, updated sales and milestone forecasts and foreign currency movements. See page 22 for further details. Other net operating income at £504m (2024: £309 million) includes the £367 million ($500 million) settlement from CureVac as well as fair value movements on equity investments and other net income.
 
In Q4 2025 other operating income included a charge of £295 million (Q4 2024: £417 million) arising from the remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities (CCL) and the liabilities for the Pfizer put option. The charge in the current quarter primarily reflected the net impact of updated sales forecasts, discount unwind and exchange movements partly offset by reduced forecast milestone payments. See page 25 for further details. Other net operating income at £178 million (Q4 2024: £73 million) includes £99 million ($130 million) of settlement from CureVac as well as fair value movements on equity investments and other net income.

Total operating profit margin was higher in the full year mainly due to the £1.8 billion charge for the Zantac settlement in Q3 2024, partly offset by higher impairment charges. In the quarter operating profit margin was higher due to higher other net operating income and lower CCL charges.
 
Core operating profit growth in the full year and quarter primarily reflected higher turnover, favourable product mix and royalty income including from IP settlements. Growth was partly offset by increased investment in R&D, new asset launches and growth assets, and adverse pricing impacts, as well as in the full year the Q1 2024 reversal of the legal provision related to the Zejula royalty dispute, following a successful appeal. In the quarter, productivity programmes and supply chain charges totalled £300 million, split evenly between cost of sales and SG&A.

The decrease in net finance costs in the full year was mainly driven by favourable movements on derivatives fair value, favourable interest on tax and higher swap interest income, partly offset by higher interest expense on debt. Strong operating cashflows in the full year were partly offset by finance costs associated with the share buyback programme and Zantac settlement payments. The increase in the quarter was mainly driven by lower interest income on cash following Zantac settlement payments and the share buyback programme partly offset by favourable movements on derivatives fair value.

The effective tax rate on Total results reflected the different tax effects of the various Adjusting items included in Total results, including non-taxable revaluations of contingent consideration liabilities associated with recent acquisitions.
 
The effective tax rate on Core profits was broadly in line with expectations for the year. Issues related to taxation are described in Note 14, ‘Taxation’ in the Annual Report 2024. The Group continues to believe it has made adequate provision for the liabilities likely to arise from periods that are open and not yet agreed by relevant tax authorities. The ultimate liability for such matters may vary from the amounts provided and is dependent upon the outcome of agreements with relevant tax authorities.

In the full year and Q4 2025, the adverse currency impact primarily reflected the strengthening of Sterling against US Dollar as well as emerging market currencies, partly offset by strengthening of the Euro. Exchange gains on the settlement of intercompany transactions had a favourable full year impact of three percentage points on Total EPS and one percentage point on Core EPS. In the quarter there was a favourable impact of six percentage points on Total EPS and three percentage points on Core EPS.

2025
 
Cash generated from operating activities was £8,943 million (2024: £7,861 million). The increase reflected higher Core operating profit, favourable timing and movements on returns and rebates, including the impact of the removal of the AMP cap in H1 2024, and the cash settlements from CureVac as well as lower inventory build. The increase was partly offset by an adverse movement in receivables driven by higher Arexvy and Shingrix collections in Q1 2024, as well as higher Zantac settlement payments of £1,195 million (2024: £672 million).
 
Total contingent consideration cash payments in 2025 were £1,347 million (2024: £1,254 million). £1,330 million (2024: £1,235 million) of these were recognised in cash flows from operating activities, including cash payments made to Shionogi & Co. Ltd (Shionogi) of £1,277 million (2024: £1,190 million).
 
Free cash inflow was £4,029 million for 2025 (2024: £2,863 million). The increase was driven by higher cash generated from operations, lower tax payments, lower capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment, and higher dividends from joint ventures and associates, partly offset by higher capital expenditure on intangible assets and lower proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment.
 
 
Q4 2025
 
Cash generated from operations for the quarter was £2,689 million (Q4 2024: £2,586 million). The increase primarily reflected higher Core operating profit and lower Zantac settlement payments of £507 million (Q4 2024: £672 million), partly offset by adverse timing and movements on returns and rebates.
 
Total contingent consideration cash payments in the quarter were £347 million (Q4 2024: £319 million). £341 million (Q4 2024: £311 million) of these were recognised in cash flows from operating activities, including cash payments made to Shionogi of £321 million (Q4 2024: £290 million).
 
Free cash inflow was £960 million for the quarter (Q4 2024: £924 million). The increase was primarily driven by higher cash generated from operations, lower capital expenditure on intangible assets and higher dividends from joint ventures and associates, partly offset by higher taxation payments and lower proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment.

At 31 December 2025, net debt was £14,453 million, compared with £13,095 million at 31 December 2024, comprising gross debt of £17,859 million and cash and liquid investments of £3,406 million. See net debt information on page 42.
 
Net debt increased by £1,358 million primarily due to the net acquisition costs of IDRx, Inc. (IDRx), BP Asset IX, Inc. (BP Asset IX) to access efimosfermin, and Cellphenomics GmbH totalling £1,692 million, dividends paid to shareholders of £2,564 million and shares purchased as part of the share buyback programme of £1,377 million. This was partly offset by free cash inflow of £4,029 million and exchange gain on net debt of £241 million.
 
At 31 December 2025, GSK had short-term borrowings (including overdrafts and lease liabilities) repayable within 12 months of £3,012 million and £1,487 million repayable in the subsequent year.

Trust: progress on our six priority areas for responsible business
 
Building Trust by operating responsibly is integral to GSK’s strategy and culture. This will support growth and returns to shareholders, reduce risk, and help GSK’s people thrive while delivering sustainable health impact at scale. The Company has identified six Responsible Business focus areas that address what is most material to GSK’s business and the issues that matter the most to its stakeholders. Highlights below include activity since Q3 2025 results. For more details on annual updates, please see GSK's Responsible Business Performance Report 2024(1).
 
Access
Commitment: to make GSK’s vaccines and medicines available at value-based prices that are sustainable for the business and implement access strategies that increase the use of GSK’s vaccines and medicines to treat and protect underserved people.
Progress since Q3 2025:
 
 
In November GSK marked 25 years of partnership with the World Health Organization on its Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (LF). To date, GSK has donated more than 12 billion albendazole tablets to the programme. By donating this essential treatment against LF, GSK continues to help reduce the burden of LF in lower income countries, meaning that not only are more people protected from this disease, but that more people can keep working and contributing to their local economy. To date, 21 countries have eliminated the disease which is testament to the partnership of the WHO, with companies like GSK and most importantly country leaders, communities and patients in endemic. More information can be found here(2).
Performance metrics related to access are updated annually with related details in GSK's Responsible Business Performance Report 2024(1) on page 11.
 
Global health and health security
Commitment: develop novel products and technologies to treat and prevent priority diseases, including pandemic threats.
Progress since Q3 2025:
 
 
GSK and ViiV have renewed their commitment to the Global Fund, pledging £6 million to strengthen community-led responses to HIV, tuberculosis and malaria in lower income countries. The commitment will be matched by the Gates Foundation, bringing this total investment in the Global Fund to £12 million. This commitment reinforces the vital role of grassroots leadership in shaping sustainable health solutions. More information can be found here(3).
In November, GSK and the Fleming Initiative announced six major new research programmes building on GSK’s long-standing commitment to addressing drug-resistant infections. These programmes will harness some of the best scientific expertise and the latest technologies, including advanced AI, to find new ways to slow the progress of antimicrobial resistance. All of the new programmes will begin by early 2026 and are fully funded for three years. More information can be found here(4).
In December, GSK was announced as the industry lead for END2AMR (European Novel Drug Research to Address Microbial Infections and Drug Resistance) – a new public-private research initiative designed to tackle some of the most difficult-to-treat bacterial infections. The project brings together leading academic groups, research institutes, SMEs, and industry partners to develop a new generation of antibacterial modalities and delivery technologies. More information can be found here(5).
Performance metrics related to global health and health security are updated annually with related details in GSK's Responsible Business Performance Report 2024(1) on page 16.
 
Environment
Commitment: committed to a net zero, nature-positive, healthier planet with ambitious goals set for 2030 and 2045.
Progress since Q3 2025:
 
 
GSK retained its position on the CDP 2025 A List for Climate Change and Water and scored a B for its Forest submission. Securing a place on the A List means GSK is among the top 4% of companies scored by CDP – the world's only independent system for environmental disclosure.
GSK worked with partners across the pharmaceutical industry and wider healthcare systems to shape the development of a pharma-specific framework to measure and report the environmental impact of medicines, in response to increasing requirements from payers. The new global standard has been published by BSI as PAS2090. More information can be found here(6).
Performance metrics related to environment are updated annually with related details in GSK's Responsible Business Performance Report 2024(1) on page 19.
 
Inclusion
Commitment: meet patients’ needs with research that includes those impacted by the disease under study, attract and retain the best talent regardless of background, and support all GSK people to thrive.
 
 
Performance metrics related to inclusion are updated annually with related details in GSK's Responsible Business Performance Report 2024(1) on page 27.
 
Ethical standards
Commitment: promote ethical behaviour across GSK’s business by supporting its employees to do the right thing and working with suppliers that share GSK’s standards and operate responsibly.
 
 
Performance metrics related to ethical standards are updated annually with related details in GSK's Responsible Business Performance Report 2024(1) on page 29.
 
Product governance
Commitment: maintain robust quality and safety processes and responsibly use data and new technologies.
 
 
Performance metrics related to product governance are updated annually with related details in GSK's Responsible Business Performance Report 2024(1) on page 34.

(7) GSK’s Responsible Business ratings are regularly reviewed to ensure the external benchmarks listed remain high quality, appropriate and relevant to investors. The outcome of these reviews may lead to changes on which ratings are included in the table above – last updated July 2025.
 
 
Total and Core results
 
Total reported results represent the Group’s overall performance.
 
GSK uses a number of non-IFRS measures to report the performance of its business. Core results and other non-IFRS measures may be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, or superior to, information presented in accordance with IFRS. Core results are defined below and other non-IFRS measures are defined on pages 53 and 54.
 
GSK believes that Core results, when considered together with Total results, provide investors, analysts and other stakeholders with helpful complementary information to understand better the financial performance and position of the Group from period to period, and allow the Group’s performance to be more easily compared against the majority of its peer companies. These measures are also used by management for planning and reporting purposes. They may not be directly comparable with similarly described measures used by other companies.
 
GSK encourages investors and analysts not to rely on any single financial measure but to review GSK’s quarterly results announcements, including the financial statements and notes, in their entirety.
 
GSK is committed to continuously improving its financial reporting, in line with evolving regulatory requirements and best practice. In line with this practice, GSK expects to continue to review and refine its reporting framework.
 
Core results exclude the following items in relation to our operations from Total results, together with the tax effects of all of these items:
 
 
 
amortisation of intangible assets (excluding computer software and capitalised development costs)
impairment of intangible assets (excluding computer software) and goodwill
major restructuring costs, which include impairments of tangible assets and computer software, (under specific Board approved programmes that are structural, of a significant scale and where the costs of individual or related projects exceed £25 million), including integration costs following material acquisitions
transaction-related accounting or other adjustments related to significant acquisitions
proceeds and costs of disposal of associates, products and businesses; significant settlement income; Significant legal charges (net of insurance recoveries) and expenses on the settlement of litigation and government investigations; other operating income other than royalty income, and other items including amounts reclassified from the foreign currency translation reserve to the income statement upon the liquidation of a subsidiary where the amount exceeds £25 million
 
Costs for all other ordinary course smaller scale restructuring and legal charges and expenses from operations are retained within both Total and Core results.
 
As Core results include the benefits of Major restructuring programmes but exclude significant costs (such as Significant legal charges and expenses, major restructuring costs and transaction items) they should not be regarded as a complete picture of the Group’s financial performance, which is presented in Total results. The exclusion of other Adjusting items may result in Core earnings being materially higher or lower than Total earnings. In particular, when significant impairments, restructuring charges and legal costs are excluded, Core earnings will be higher than Total earnings.
 
GSK has undertaken a number of Major restructuring programmes in response to significant changes in the Group’s trading environment or overall strategy or following material acquisitions. Within the Pharmaceuticals sector, the highly regulated manufacturing operations and supply chains and long lifecycle of the business mean that restructuring programmes, particularly those that involve the rationalisation or closure of manufacturing or R&D sites are likely to take several years to complete. Costs, both cash and non-cash, of these programmes are provided for as individual elements are approved and meet the accounting recognition criteria. As a result, charges may be incurred over a number of years following the initiation of a Major restructuring programme.
 
Significant legal charges and expenses are those arising from the settlement of litigation or government investigations that are not in the normal course and materially larger than more regularly occurring individual matters. They also include certain major legacy matters.
 
Reconciliations between Total and Core results, providing further information on the key Adjusting items, are set out on pages 20-23.
 
GSK provides earnings guidance to the investor community on the basis of Core results. This is in line with peer companies and expectations of the investor community, supporting easier comparison of the Group’s performance with its peers. GSK is not able to give guidance for Total results as it cannot reliably forecast certain material elements of the Total results, particularly the future fair value movements on contingent consideration and put options that can and have given rise to significant adjustments driven by external factors such as currency and other movements in capital markets.
 
 
ViiV Healthcare
 
ViiV Healthcare is a subsidiary of the Group and 100% of its operating results (turnover, operating profit, profit after tax) are included within the Group income statement.
 
Earnings for the year are allocated to the three shareholders of ViiV Healthcare on the basis of their respective equity shareholdings (GSK 78.3%, Pfizer 11.7% and Shionogi 10%) and their entitlement to preferential dividends, which are determined by the performance of certain products that each shareholder contributed. As the relative performance of these products changes over time, the proportion of the overall earnings allocated to each shareholder also changes. In particular, the increasing proportion of sales of dolutegravir and cabotegravir-containing products has a favourable impact on the proportion of the preferential dividends that is allocated to GSK. Adjusting items are allocated to shareholders based on their equity interests. GSK was entitled to approximately 83% of the Total earnings and 83% of the Core earnings of ViiV Healthcare for 2025.
 
As consideration for the acquisition of Shionogi’s interest in the former Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare joint venture in 2012, Shionogi received the 10% equity stake in ViiV Healthcare and ViiV Healthcare also agreed to pay additional future cash consideration to Shionogi, contingent on the future sales performance of the products being developed by that joint venture, dolutegravir and cabotegravir. Under IFRS 3 ‘Business combinations’, GSK was required to provide for the estimated fair value of this contingent consideration at the time of acquisition and is required to update the liability to the latest estimate of fair value at each subsequent period end. The liability for the contingent consideration recognised in the balance sheet at the date of acquisition was £659 million. Subsequent remeasurements are reflected within other operating income/(expense) and within Adjusting items in the income statement in each period.
 
Cash payments to settle the contingent consideration are made to Shionogi by ViiV Healthcare each quarter, based on the actual sales performance and other income of the relevant products in the previous quarter. These payments reduce the balance sheet liability and hence are not recorded in the income statement. The cash payments made to Shionogi by ViiV Healthcare in the year ended 31 December 2025 were £1,277 million.
 
As the liability is required to be recorded at the fair value of estimated future payments, there is a significant timing difference between the charges that are recorded in the Total income statement to reflect movements in the fair value of the liability and the actual cash payments made to settle the liability.
 
Further explanation of the acquisition-related arrangements with ViiV Healthcare are set out on pages 89 and 90 of the Annual Report 2024.
 
On 19 January 2026, GSK reached agreement with Pfizer and Shionogi for the 11.7% economic interest in ViiV Healthcare currently held by Pfizer to be replaced with an investment by Shionogi. Details of this agreement are set out in the post balance sheet event on page 43.

The Separation restructuring programme incurred cash charges of £48 million primarily from the restructuring of some commercial and administrative functions. The non-cash charges of £14 million primarily reflected the write-down of assets in manufacturing locations.
 
The programme focussed on the separation of GSK into two separate companies and is now largely complete. The programme has delivered its target of £1.1 billion of annual savings, with total costs still expected at £2.4 billion, with cash charges of £1.7 billion and non-cash charges of £0.7 billion.
 
Costs of significant acquisitions relate to integration costs of Affinivax Inc. (Affinivax) which was acquired in Q3 2022, BELLUS Health Inc. (Bellus) acquired in Q2 2023, Aiolos Bio, Inc. (Aiolos) acquired in Q1 2024, IDRx acquired in Q1 2025 and BP Asset IX acquired to access efimosfermin in Q3 2025.
 
Cash charges of £13 million under Legacy programmes primarily arose from the divestment of the cephalosporins business.
 
Transaction-related adjustments
Transaction-related adjustments resulted in a net charge of £507 million (2024: £1,881 million), the majority of which related to charges/(credits) for the remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities, the liabilities for the Pfizer put option, and Pfizer and Shionogi preferential dividends in ViiV Healthcare.

The £649 million charge relating to the contingent consideration for the former Shionogi-ViiV Healthcare joint venture represented an increase in the valuation of the contingent consideration due to Shionogi, driven by the unwind of the discount for £404 million and net other remeasurements of £245 million. The £93 million credit relating to the ViiV Healthcare put option and Pfizer preferential dividends represented a decrease in the valuation of the put option primarily as a result of updated exchange rates and sales forecasts. The ViiV Healthcare contingent consideration liability is fair valued under IFRS. An explanation of the accounting for the non-controlling interests in ViiV Healthcare is set out on page 19.
 
The £171 million charge relating to the contingent consideration on the former Novartis Vaccines business primarily related to changes to future sales forecasts, updated exchange rates and the unwind of the discount.
 
The £254 million credit relating to the contingent consideration on the acquisition of Affinivax primarily related to updated milestone forecasts, partly offset by the unwind of the discount.
 
Significant legal charges, Divestments, and other items
Legal charges provide for all significant legal matters and are not broken out separately by litigation or investigation.
 
Divestments and other items included the £367 million ($500 million) of settlements from CureVac in connection with the mRNA patent settlement, as well as other net income, including income from divestments and fair value movements on, and distributions from, equity investments.

Segment information
Operating segments are reported based on the financial information provided to the Chief Executive Officer and the responsibilities of the Executive Committee (formerly known as the GSK Leadership Team). GSK reports results under two segments: Commercial Operations and Total R&D. Members of the Executive Committee are responsible for each segment.
 
R&D investment is essential for the sustainability of the business. However, for segment reporting the Commercial operating profits exclude allocations of globally funded R&D.
 
The Total R&D segment is the responsibility of the Chief Scientific Officer and is reported as a separate segment. The operating costs of this segment includes R&D activities across Specialty Medicines, including HIV and Vaccines. It includes R&D and some SG&A costs relating to regulatory and other functions.
 
The Group’s management reporting process allocates intra-Group profit on a product sale to the market in which that sale is recorded, and the profit analyses below have been presented on that basis.
 
Adjusting items reconciling segment profit and operating profit comprise items not specifically allocated to segment profit. These include impairment and amortisation of intangible assets (excluding computer software and capitalised development costs), major restructuring costs, which include impairments of tangible assets and computer software, transaction-related adjustments related to significant acquisitions, proceeds and costs of disposals of associates, products and businesses, Significant legal charges and expenses on the settlement of litigation and government investigations, other operating income other than royalty income, and other items including amounts reclassified from the foreign currency translation reserve to the income statement upon the liquidation of a subsidiary where the amount exceeds £25 million.

Commercial Operations Core operating profit of £16,260 million growth in the full year was driven by higher turnover, favourable product mix and royalty income including from an IP settlement, partly offset by increased investment in new asset launches and growth assets, and adverse pricing impacts. In addition, in Q4 2025 productivity programmes and supply chain charges totalled £300 million.
 
The R&D segment operating expense of £6,251 million grew in the full year primarily reflecting progression across the portfolio. In Oncology, this included acceleration in work on ADCs (B7-H3 and B7-H4) and IDRX-42, the GIST treatment acquired in Q1 2025. In Specialty Medicines, increased investment was driven by efimosfermin acquired from Boston Pharmaceuticals in Q3 2025 and bepirovirsen, as well as progression of ULA treatment and PrEP programmes, notably Q4M and Q6M. Growth was partly offset by lower spend on depemokimab following filing in Q4 2024. Investment also increased on clinical trial programmes associated with the pneumococcal MAPS and mRNA seasonal flu.

The Group is involved in significant legal and administrative proceedings, principally product liability, intellectual property, tax, anti-trust, consumer fraud and governmental investigations, which are more fully described in the ‘Legal Proceedings’ note in the Annual Report 2024. At 31 December 2025, the Group’s aggregate provision for legal and other disputes (not including tax matters described on page 10) was £210 million (31 December 2024: £1,446 million).
 
The Group may become involved in significant legal proceedings in respect of which it is not possible to meaningfully assess whether the outcome will result in a probable outflow, or to quantify or reliably estimate the liability, if any, that could result from ultimate resolution of the proceedings. In these cases, the Group would provide appropriate disclosures about such cases, but no provision would be made.
 
The ultimate liability for legal claims may vary from the amounts provided and is dependent upon the outcome of litigation proceedings, investigations and possible settlement negotiations. The Group’s position could change over time, and, therefore, there can be no assurance that any losses that result from the outcome of any legal proceedings will not exceed by a material amount the amount of the provisions reported in the Group’s financial accounts.
 
Significant legal developments since the date of the Q3 2025 results:
 
Product Liability
 
Zantac
 
As previously disclosed, the vast majority of the remaining cases have been resolved or dismissed such that 13 state court cases remain. GSK has recently resolved the Mayor & City of Baltimore action as well as the New Mexico Attorney General lawsuit.
 
In Delaware, following the Supreme Court’s reversal of the lower court’s decision on admissibility of expert opinions, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. Plaintiffs filed a motion to allow supplemental expert disclosures. A hearing on both motions was held on 23 October 2025. On 1 December 2025, the Delaware Superior Court issued its ruling denying Plaintiffs’ motion for supplemental expert disclosures. The Court requested additional summary judgment briefing as to which Plaintiffs should be bound by that ruling. Briefing on that issue concluded on 30 January 2026.
 
As previously disclosed, approximately 14,000 product liability cases were dismissed following the grant of defendants’ Daubert motions in December 2022 in the Federal MDL proceeding. These are now on appeal by the plaintiffs to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, along with appeals in the medical monitoring and consumer class action cases. Oral argument was held on 10 October 2025. A decision is expected in the first half of 2026.
 
Avandia
 
On 22 May 2025, the district court granted the third-party payor plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, allowing them to proceed with their claims as a class action. GSK filed a Rule 23(f) petition with the Third Circuit seeking permission to appeal the class certification order, which was granted on 7 July 2025. Briefing is complete, and oral argument has been scheduled for 26 February 2026. The trial court has stayed the proceedings pending the outcome of the appeal.
 
Commercial and corporate
 
Tesaro, Inc. v. AnaptysBio
 
On 20 November 2025, GSK subsidiary, Tesaro, Inc., initiated litigation against AnaptysBio, Inc. in the Delaware Chancery Court. This action seeks a declaration that Tesaro was not in breach and that AnaptysBio engaged in conduct that was in anticipatory breach of the parties’ collaboration agreement regarding the oncology treatment Jemperli (dostarlimab). Tesaro initiated this litigation following allegations made by AnaptysBio that Tesaro breached the collaboration agreement, entitling AnaptysBio to a reversion of rights to dostarlimab. AnaptysBio filed a lawsuit against Tesaro/GSK on the same day, in the same court, seeking a declaration that Tesaro breached the agreement and that GSK tortiously interfered with the agreement by inducing Tesaro’s alleged breaches. Trial is currently set for 14-17 July 2026. AnaptysBio filed a partial motion to dismiss Tesaro’s anticipatory breach of contract claim which will be heard by the court on 4 March 2026. GSK and Tesaro intend to vigorously defend against AnaptysBio’s allegations.

Intellectual Property
 
Breo
 
In August 2025, GSK received a paragraph IV letter from Transpire Bio Inc. (“Transpire”) relating to Breo. On 25 September 2025, GSK filed a patent and trademark infringement suit against Transpire in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleging Transpire’s proposed generic of Breo infringes GSK patents and trade dress. The court has set a trial date for 2 November 2026.
 
Trelegy
 
On 22 January 2026, GSK received a paragraph IV letter from Transpire relating to Trelegy. GSK is currently assessing the letter and considering its options. Under the Hatch-Waxman Act, companies who receive such letters have 45 days to bring a lawsuit against the generic manufacturer.
 
Returns to shareholders
 
Quarterly dividends
 
The Board has declared a fourth interim dividend for Q4 2025 of 18p per share (Q4 2024: 16p per share).
 
Dividends remain an essential component of total shareholder return and GSK recognises the importance of dividends to shareholders. On 23 June 2021, at the GSK Investor Update, GSK set out that from 2022 a progressive dividend policy will be implemented guided by a 40 to 60 per cent pay-out ratio through the investment cycle. Consistent with this, and reflecting strong performance in 2025, GSK has declared an increased dividend of 18p for Q4 2025 and 66p per share for full year 2025. The expected dividend for 2026 is 70p per share. In setting its dividend policy, GSK considers the capital allocation priorities of the Group and its investment strategy for growth alongside the sustainability of the dividend.

Share capital in issue
 
At 31 December 2025, 4,013 million shares (2024: 4,081 million) were in free issue (excluding Treasury shares and shares held by the ESOP Trusts). The Company issued 1.1 million shares under employee share schemes in the year for net proceeds of £15 million (2024: £20 million).
 
On 5 February 2025, GSK announced a £2 billion share buyback programme to be completed over an 18 month period. As at 31 December 2025, 93 million shares have been repurchased and are being held as Treasury shares, at a cost of £1,377 million, including transaction costs of £8 million.
 
At 31 December 2025, the Company held 240 million Treasury shares at a cost of £3,948 million, of which 147 million shares at a cost of £2,571 million were repurchased as part of previous share buyback programmes, which has been deducted from retained earnings.
 
At 31 December 2025, the ESOP Trusts held 62.8 million shares, of which 62.2 million were held for the future exercise of share options and share awards and 0.6 million were held for the Executive Supplemental Savings plan. The carrying amount of £282 million has been deducted from other reserves. The market value of these shares was £1,147 million.

Additional information
 
Accounting policies and basis of preparation
 
This unaudited Results Announcement contains condensed financial information for the year-end and three months ended 31 December 2025 and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report 2024, which was prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). This Results Announcement has been prepared applying consistent accounting policies to those applied by the Group in the Annual Report 2024, except for the adoption of the amended IFRS Accounting Standard as set out below.
 
The IASB’s amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency, and which spot exchange rate should be used when it is not. GSK has adopted these new requirements for the reporting period beginning on 1 January 2025, with no material impact on the Group’s financial statements.
 
The Group has not identified any changes to its key sources of accounting judgements or estimations of uncertainty compared with those disclosed in the Annual Report 2024.
 
This Results Announcement does not constitute statutory accounts of the Group within the meaning of sections 434(3) and 435(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The full Group accounts for 2024 were published in the Annual Report 2024, which has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and on which the report of the independent auditor was unqualified and did not contain a statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
 
Exchange rates
GSK operates in many countries and earns revenues and incurs costs in many currencies. The results of the Group, as reported in Sterling, are affected by movements in exchange rates between Sterling and other currencies. Average exchange rates, as modified by specific transaction rates for large transactions, prevailing during the period, are used to translate the results and cash flows of overseas subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures into Sterling. Period-end rates are used to translate the net assets of those entities. The currencies which most influenced these translations and the relevant exchange rates were:

Contingent liabilities
There were contingent liabilities at 31 December 2025 in respect of arrangements entered into as part of the ordinary course of the Group’s business. No material losses are expected to arise from such contingent liabilities. Provision is made for the outcome of legal and tax disputes where it is both probable that the Group will suffer an outflow of funds and it is possible to make a reliable estimate of that outflow. Descriptions of the significant legal disputes to which the Group is a party are set out on page 36, and pages 287 to 290 of the 2024 Annual Report.
 
Net assets
The book value of net assets increased by £2,870 million from £13,086 million at 31 December 2024 to £15,956 million at 31 December 2025. This primarily reflected contribution from Total comprehensive income for the period partly offset by dividends paid to shareholders, shares repurchased under the share buyback programme and associated transaction costs.
 
At 31 December 2025, the net surplus on the Group’s pension plans was £229 million compared with a £103 million net deficit at 31 December 2024. This movement from a net deficit to a net surplus is primarily related to an increase in UK asset values, a decrease to the UK inflation rate from 2.90% to 2.70%, and a $131 million contribution made to the US Cash Balance Plan during Q3 2025. This is partially offset by a decrease to the US discount rate from 5.5% to 5.1%.
 
Assets held for sale as at 31 December 2025 included the manufacturing facility located in Rockville, Maryland. On 22 December 2025, GSK entered into a definitive agreement with Samsung Biologics for the sale of 100% of its equity investment in Human Genome Sciences, principally including the Rockville site, with closing anticipated towards the end of Q1 2026.
 
The estimated present value of the potential redemption amount of the Pfizer put option related to ViiV Healthcare, recorded in Other payables in Current liabilities, was £822 million (31 December 2024: £915 million).
 
Contingent consideration amounted to £6,733 million at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: £7,280 million) as follows:

Business acquisitions
On 21 February 2025, GSK completed the acquisition of 100% of IDRx, Inc, a Boston based, clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing precision therapies for the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST). The acquisition includes a lead molecule, IDRX-42, a highly selective investigational tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that is designed to improve the outcomes for patients with GIST. The consideration for the acquisition comprised an upfront payment of US$1.1 billion (£840 million) as adjusted for working capital acquired paid upon closing and up to US$150 million (£119 million) as an additional success-based regulatory milestone payment. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was US$56 million (£45 million). In addition, GSK will also be responsible for success-based milestone payments as well as tiered royalties for IDRX-42 owed to Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.
 
On 7th July 2025, GSK completed the acquisition of 100% of BP Asset IX, Inc. a subsidiary of Boston Pharmaceuticals which provides access to efimosfermin alfa. Efimosfermin is a phase III-ready, potential best-in-class, investigational speciality medicine to treat and prevent progression of steatotic liver disease (SLD). The consideration for the acquisition comprised an upfront payment of US$1.2 billion (£906 million) as adjusted for working capital acquired paid upon closing and up to US$800 million (£588 million) in certain success-based regulatory milestone payments. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration payable was US$302 million (£222 million).
 
During the period to 31st December 2025, no sales arising from the IDRx or BP Asset IX's businesses were included in Group turnover and no revenue is expected until regulatory approval is received on the respective acquired assets.
 
GSK continues to support the ongoing development of the acquired assets and consequently these assets will be loss making until regulatory approval on these assets is received. The development of these assets has been integrated into the Group’s existing R&D activities, so it is impracticable to quantify these development costs or the impact on Total profit after taxation for the period ended 31 December 2025.
 
Goodwill of £315 million (£109 million for IDRx and £206 million for BP Asset IX) has been recognised. The goodwill represents specific synergies available to GSK from the business combinations. The goodwill has been allocated to the Group’s R&D segment. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

As at 31 December 2025, the present value of the contingent consideration payable was £45 million for IDRx and £231 million for BP Asset IX.
 
On 15 January 2025, GSK completed the acquisition of a Berlin based private company, Cellphenomics GmbH, which has developed proprietary capabilities in developing durable organoid models, for a total cash consideration of up to €44 million (approximately £37 million) of which €15 million (£13 million) was unpaid as at 31 December 2025. The acquisition is accounted for as a business combination but is not considered a significant acquisition for the Group.

Post balance sheet events
On 19 January 2026, GSK reached agreement with Pfizer and Shionogi for the 11.7% economic interest in ViiV Healthcare currently held by Pfizer to be replaced with an investment by Shionogi. As a result of this transaction, Shionogi will increase its economic interest to 21.7% and GSK will maintain its 78.3% economic interest. Under the terms of the agreement, ViiV Healthcare will issue new shares to Shionogi for consideration of $2.125 billion and cancel Pfizer’s holding in ViiV Healthcare for a consideration of $1.875 billion. Additionally, GSK will receive a special dividend of $0.250 billion (payable in GBP). Completion of the transaction is subject to certain regulatory clearances in relevant markets and is expected to occur during Q1 2026. On completion, GSK will extinguish the Pfizer put option liability through retained earnings. The liability will be remeasured immediately prior to completion, on the same methodology as at 31 December 2025, with any change in the value of the liability recognised as an adjusting item through other operating income/(expense).
 
On 19 January 2026, GSK entered into a definitive agreement to acquire RAPT Therapeutics (RAPT), a California-based, clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing novel therapies for patients living with inflammatory and immunologic diseases. The acquisition includes ozureprubart, a long-acting anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) monoclonal antibody, currently in phase IIb clinical development for prophylactic protection against food allergens. Under the terms of the agreement, GSK’s subsidiary has commenced a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of RAPT common stock for $58.00 per share in cash at closing for an estimated aggregate equity value of $2.2 billion. Net of cash acquired, GSK's estimated upfront investment is $1.9 billion. The transaction is expected to close in Q1 2026 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the tender of a majority of RAPT's outstanding shares of common stock in the tender offer and expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act in the US.

Exdensur (depemokimab; ultra-long-acting anti-IL5)
In Q4, GSK announced the approval of Exdensur (depemokimab) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in severe asthma with an eosinophilic phenotype. In addition, Exdensur received marketing authorisation from the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). It also received a positive Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) opinion in the EU for severe asthma and CRSwNP and it is currently under regulatory review in other countries, including in China. Submissions in other markets are expected to progress through the year.
Exdensur is the first and only ultra-long-acting biologic to address severe asthma and CRSwNP. It is engineered to have an extended half-life and high binding affinity and potency for IL-5, enabling twice-yearly dosing.
Exdensur is in late-stage development in a range of IL-5 mediated conditions including hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA).
GSK has also initiated the ENDURA-1 and ENDURA-2 phase III clinical trials assessing the efficacy and safety of depemokimab as an add-on therapy in patients with uncontrolled moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with type 2 inflammation. In Q4, GSK initiated a further phase III trial, VIGILANT, to assess early use of depemokimab in patients with COPD with type 2 inflammation who have experienced one exacerbation and are at high risk for future exacerbations.

Jemperli (dostarlimab)
Jemperli remains the foundation of GSK’s immuno-oncology-based research and development programme. It is the only approved immuno-oncology-based plus CP treatment regimen to demonstrate a statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival benefit vs. CP alone for the first-line treatment of adult patients with primary advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer irrespective of biomarker status. Ongoing pivotal trials include those in our AZUR programme (colon / rectal cancers), JADE (head and neck cancer), and DOMENICA (supported-collaborative study with ARCAGY-GINECO in endometrial cancer).
In November 2025, the US FDA announced that it has granted a Commissioner's National Priority Voucher to accelerate review of the potential upcoming regulatory filing for dostarlimab for the treatment of locally advanced dMMR/MSI-H rectal cancer. The current standard of care for these patients is chemotherapy plus radiation followed by surgery, which can be associated with significant negative quality-of-life complications, highlighting the urgent need for new options in the curative-intent setting.

bepirovirsen (HBV ASO)
Bepirovirsen is a triple-action antisense oligonucleotide with the potential to be a first in class new treatment option for people with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). In January 2026, GSK announced positive results from its two pivotal phase III trials, B-Well 1 and B-Well 2. The trials met their primary endpoints with bepirovirsen demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful functional cure rate. Functional cure rates were significantly higher with bepirovirsen plus standard of care compared with standard of care alone. Global regulatory submissions are planned from Q1 2026. If approved, bepirovirsen has the potential to become the first finite, six-month therapeutic option for CHB and to serve as a backbone for future sequential treatment strategies.
Bepirovirsen has been recognised by global regulatory authorities for its innovation and potential to address significant unmet need in hepatitis B, with Fast Track designation from the US FDA, Breakthrough Therapy designation in China and SENKU designation in Japan.
To further expand development of novel sequential regimens, GSK entered an agreement for an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialise daplusiran/tomligisiran (GSK5637608, formerly JNJ-3989), an investigational hepatitis B virus-targeted small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) therapeutic. This agreement provides an opportunity to investigate a novel sequential regimen to pursue functional cure in an even broader patient population with bepirovirsen. Phase IIb trials for this sequential therapy started in Q4 2024.

tebipenem HBr
GSK has an exclusive licence agreement with Spero Therapeutics, Inc. for the development of tebipenem HBr (oral carbapenem antibiotic). In May 2025, the phase III PIVOT-PO trial evaluating tebipenem HBr as oral treatment for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs), including pyelonephritis, was stopped early for efficacy following a recommendation from an Independent Data Monitoring Committee.
Following positive phase III data from the PIVOT-PO trial, GSK has filed a regulatory submission in the US which has been accepted by the FDA. The PDUFA date has been set as 18 June 2026. If approved, tebipenem HBr could be the first oral carbapenem antibiotic for patients in the US who suffer from cUTIs, adding to GSK’s innovative anti-infectives portfolio and helping address the challenges of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Reporting definitions
 
CAGR (Compound annual growth rate)
 
CAGR is defined as the compound annual growth rate and shows the annualised average rate for growth in sales and core operating profit between 2021 to 2026, assuming growth takes place at an exponentially compounded rate during those years.
 
CER and AER growth
 
In order to illustrate underlying performance, it is the Group’s practice to discuss its results in terms of constant exchange rate (CER) growth. This represents growth calculated as if the exchange rates used to determine the results of overseas companies in Sterling had remained unchanged from those used in the comparative period. CER% represents growth at constant exchange rates. For those countries which qualify as hyperinflationary as defined by the criteria set out in IAS 29 ‘Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies’ (Argentina and Turkey) CER growth is adjusted using a more appropriate exchange rate where the impact is significant, reflecting depreciation of their respective currencies in order to provide comparability and not to distort CER growth rates.
 
AER% represents growth at actual exchange rates.
 
Core Earnings per share
 
Unless otherwise stated, Core earnings per share refers to Core basic earnings per share.
 
Core Operating Margin
 
Core Operating margin is Core operating profit divided by turnover.
 
Free cash flow
 
Free cash flow is defined as the net cash inflow/outflow from operating activities less capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, contingent consideration payments, net finance costs, and dividends paid to non-controlling interests, contributions from non-controlling interests plus proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, and dividends received from joint ventures and associates. The measure is used by management as it is considered an indicator of net cash generated from business activities (excluding any cash flows arising from equity investments, business acquisitions or disposals and changes in the level of borrowing) available to pay shareholders dividends and to fund strategic plans. Free cash flow growth is calculated on a reported basis. A reconciliation of net cash inflow from operations to free cash flow from operations is set out on page 42.
 
Free cash flow conversion
 
Free cash flow conversion is free cash flow from operations as a percentage of profit attributable to shareholders.
 
General Medicines
 
General Medicines are usually prescribed in the primary care or community settings by general healthcare practitioners. For GSK, this includes medicines for inhaled respiratory, dermatology, antibiotics and other diseases.
 
Non-controlling interest
 
Non-controlling interest is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent.
 
Percentage points
 
Percentage points of growth which is abbreviated to ppts.
 
RAR (Returns and Rebates)
 
GSK sells to customers both commercial and government mandated contracts with reimbursement arrangements that include rebates, chargebacks and a right of return for certain pharmaceutical products principally in the US. Revenue recognition reflects gross-to-net sales adjustments as a result. These adjustments are known as the RAR accruals and are a source of significant estimation uncertainty and fluctuation which can have a material impact on reported revenue from one accounting period to the next.
 
Risk adjusted sales
 
Pipeline risk-adjusted sales are based on the latest internal estimate of the probability of technical and regulatory success for each asset in development.
 
Specialty Medicines
 
Specialty Medicines are typically prescription medicines used to treat complex or rare chronic conditions. For GSK, this comprises medicines for infectious diseases, HIV, Respiratory, Immunology & Inflammation, and Oncology.
 
Total Net debt
 
Net debt is defined as total borrowings less cash, cash equivalents, liquid investments, and short-term loans to third parties that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. The measure is used by management as it is considered a good indicator of GSK's ability to meet its financial commitments and the strength of its balance sheet (including those classified as assets held for sale and liabilities relating to assets held for sale).
 
Total Net debt/Core EBITDA ratio
 
Core EBITDA is defined as Total operating profit excluding adjusting items and core depreciation and amortisation (as described on page 43) and includes the share of core after tax profit/(loss) of associates and joint ventures. Core depreciation is total depreciation less depreciation arising as part of major restructuring and is disclosed as part of adjusting items. Core amortisation arises from computer software and internally capitalised R&D development costs. Total Net debt is defined above. The ratio is Total Net debt expressed as a multiple of Core EBITDA which demonstrates a key leverage metric which assesses the strength of the balance sheet.
 
Total and Core results
 
Total reported results represent the Group’s overall performance. GSK uses a number of non-IFRS measures to report the performance of its business. Core results and other non-IFRS measures may be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information presented in accordance with IFRS. Core results are defined on page 18 and other non-IFRS measures are defined in pages 53 and 54.
 
Total Operating Margin
 
Total Operating margin is Total operating profit divided by turnover.
 
Total Earnings per share
 
Unless otherwise stated, Total earnings per share refers to Total basic earnings per share.
 
Working capital
 
Working capital represents inventory and trade receivables less trade payables.
 
 
 
Brand names and partner acknowledgements: brand names appearing in italics throughout this document are trademarks of GSK or associated companies or used under licence by the Group.
 
Guidance and Outlooks, assumptions and cautionary statements
 
2026 Guidance
 
GSK expects its turnover to increase between 3 to 5 per cent and Core operating profit to increase between 7 to 9 per cent. Core earnings per share is also expected to increase between 7 to 9 per cent. GSK provides its full-year 2026 guidance at constant exchange rates (CER).
 
The Group has made planning assumptions that we expect turnover for Specialty Medicines to increase by a low double-digit per cent, Vaccines to decline by a low-single digit per cent to stable, and General Medicines to decline by a low-single digit per cent to stable.
 
2021-2026 and 2031 Outlooks
 
In February 2025 GSK set out improved outlooks for 2031 which are detailed in the 2024 full year and fourth quarter results on gsk.com(1).
 
Assumptions and basis of preparation related to 2026 Guidance, 2021-26 and 2031 Outlooks
 
In outlining the guidance for 2026, and outlooks for the period 2021-26 and for 2031, the Group has made certain assumptions about the macro-economic environment, the healthcare sector (including regarding existing and possible additional governmental legislative and regulatory reform), the different markets and competitive landscape in which the Group operates and the delivery of revenues and financial benefits from its current portfolio, its development pipeline and restructuring programmes. As previously announced, on 19 December 2025 GSK entered into an agreement with the US Administration to lower the cost of prescription medicines for American patients. The agreement entered into covers both GSK and ViiV Healthcare and, assuming expected implementation, excludes both companies from s232 tariffs for 3 years. Detailed terms of the agreement remain confidential. Our full year guidance is inclusive of the expected impact of the agreement.
 
2026 Guidance
 
These planning assumptions as well as operating profit and earnings per share guidance and dividend expectations assume no material interruptions to supply of the Group’s products, no material mergers, acquisitions or disposals, no material litigation or investigation costs for the Company (save for those that are already recognised or for which provisions have been made) and no change in the Group’s shareholdings in ViiV Healthcare. The assumptions also assume no material changes in the healthcare environment or unexpected significant changes in pricing or trade policies, including tariffs (except as noted above), as a result of government or competitor action. The 2026 guidance factors in all divestments and product exits announced to date.
 
2021-26 and 2031 Outlooks
 
The assumptions for GSK’s revenue, Core operating profit, Core operating margin and cash flow outlooks, 2031 revenue outlook and margin expectations through dolutegravir loss of exclusivity assume the delivery of revenues and financial benefits from its current and development pipeline portfolio of medicines and vaccines (which have been assessed for this purpose on a risk-adjusted basis, as described further below); regulatory approvals of the pipeline portfolio of medicines and vaccines that underlie these expectations (which have also been assessed for this purpose on a risk-adjusted basis, as described further below); no material interruptions to supply of the Group’s products; successful delivery of the ongoing and planned integration and restructuring plans; no material mergers, acquisitions or disposals or other material business development transactions; no material litigation or investigation costs for the Company (save for those that are already recognised or for which provisions have been made); and no change in the Group's shareholdings in ViiV Healthcare. GSK assumes no premature loss of exclusivity for key products over the period.
 
The assumptions for GSK’s revenue, Core operating profit, Core operating margin and cash flow outlooks, 2031 revenue outlook and margin expectations through dolutegravir loss of exclusivity also factor in all divestments and product exits announced to date as well as material costs for investment in new product launches and R&D. Risk-adjusted sales includes sales for potential planned launches which are risk-adjusted based on the latest internal estimate of the probability of technical and regulatory success for each asset in development.
 
Notwithstanding our guidance, outlooks and expectations, there is still uncertainty as to whether our assumptions, guidance, outlooks and expectations will be achieved.
 
All outlook statements are given on a constant currency basis and use 2025 average exchange rates as a base (£1/$1.31, £1/€1.17, £1/Yen 198).

They use words such as ‘anticipate’, ‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘will’, ‘project’, ‘plan’, ‘believe’, ‘target’, ‘outlook’, ‘aim’, ‘ambition’, ‘could’, ‘goal’, ‘may’, ‘seek’, ‘should’ and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, prospective products or product approvals, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, dividend payments and financial results. Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations (including under the Market Abuse Regulation, the UK Listing Rules and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority), the Group undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The reader should, however, consult any additional disclosures that the Group may make in any documents which it publishes and/or files with the SEC. All readers, wherever located, should take note of these disclosures. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any particular expectation will be met and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements.
 
All guidance, outlooks and expectations should be read together with the guidance and outlooks, assumptions and cautionary statements in this full year and Q4 2025 earnings release and in the Group's 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F.
 
Forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which relate to factors that are beyond the Group’s control or precise estimate. The Group cautions investors that a number of important factors, including those in this document, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those discussed under ‘Risk Factors’ in the Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2024. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of the Group speak only as of the date they are made and are based upon the knowledge and information available to the Directors on the date of this report.

FAQ

How did GSK (GSK) perform financially in 2025?

GSK grew strongly in 2025, led by Specialty Medicines. Turnover reached £32.7 billion, up 7% at constant exchange rates. Core operating profit rose 11% to £9.8 billion and Core EPS increased 12% to 172.0p, reflecting higher-margin products and increased royalty income.

Which parts of GSK’s portfolio drove 2025 growth?

Specialty Medicines and key vaccines led growth. Specialty Medicines sales rose 17% to £13.5 billion, with Oncology up 43% and HIV up 11%. Vaccines grew 2%, as strong ex‑US demand for Shingrix, meningitis vaccines and Arexvy offset weaker US shingles, RSV and influenza sales.

What 2026 guidance has GSK (GSK) provided for revenue and earnings?

GSK expects moderate growth in 2026 at constant exchange rates. Management guides turnover growth of 3–5%, Core operating profit growth of 7–9%, and Core EPS growth of 7–9%, supported by low double‑digit Specialty Medicines growth and flat-to-slightly-declining Vaccines and General Medicines.

What are GSK’s dividend and share buyback plans for 2026?

GSK plans to increase its dividend and continue buybacks. The company paid 66p per share for 2025 and expects a 70p dividend for 2026. It is executing a £2 billion share buyback programme through Q2 2026, with £1.4 billion already completed.

How strong was GSK’s cash flow and balance sheet in 2025?

GSK generated robust cash but net debt increased. Cash generated from operations was £8.9 billion and free cash flow £4.0 billion. Net debt rose to £14.5 billion, mainly due to acquisitions, £2.6 billion of dividends and £1.4 billion of share repurchases.

What is GSK’s long-term sales outlook and pipeline momentum?

GSK reaffirmed a 2031 sales outlook above £40 billion. In 2025 it secured five major FDA approvals and started seven pivotal trials. For 2026, it anticipates two major new product approvals, five pivotal readouts and ten pivotal trial starts across hepatitis B, chronic cough, HIV prevention and oncology.
