Third Quarter 2023 Segment Commentary:
Adjusted operational sales* reflected below excludes the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures and translational currency.
Innovative Medicine
Innovative Medicine worldwide adjusted operational sales grew 4.4%*. Excluding the COVID-19 Vaccine, operational sales grew 8.2%*. Growth was driven by DARZALEX (daratumumab), ERLEADA (apalutamide), Other Oncology, and CARVYKTI (ciltacabtagene autoleucel) in Oncology, STELARA (ustekinumab), TREMFYA (guselkumab), and SIMPONI/SIMPONI ARIA (golimumab) in Immunology, SPRAVATO (esketamine) in Neuroscience, and UPTRAVI (selexipag) in Pulmonary Hypertension. Growth was partially offset by COVID-19 Vaccine (Ad26.COV2.S) in Infectious Diseases, ZYTIGA (abiraterone acetate) and IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) in Oncology, and REMICADE (infliximab) in Immunology.
MedTech
MedTech worldwide adjusted operational sales grew 6.0%*, driven primarily by electrophysiology products in Interventional Solutions, wound closure products in General Surgery, contact lenses in Vision, and biosurgery in Advanced Surgery. MedTech worldwide operational sales grew 10.4%*, with the acquisition of Abiomed contributing 4.6%.

Full-Year 2023 Guidance:
Johnson & Johnson does not provide GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis because the company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of legal proceedings, unusual gains and losses, acquisition-related expenses, and purchase accounting fair value adjustments without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to Johnson & Johnson's results computed in accordance with GAAP.
