2024 Guidance

GSK revises its full-year guidance at constant exchange rates (CER). All guidance, expectations and full-year growth rates exclude any contributions from COVID-19 solutions.

GSK delivered a strong first half 2024 performance with excellent business momentum, including increased sales growth of Specialty Medicines, particularly reflecting successful new launches in Oncology and for long-acting HIV medicines. General Medicines, including Trelegy, also continued to perform better than expected. Sales are now expected to grow between 7 to 9 per cent at CER (previously “upper part of the range of between 5 to 7 per cent increase”). Improved sales performances in Specialty and General Medicines are expected to more than offset lower sales growth of Vaccines this year, which reflects revised recommendations for RSV vaccinations issued in June by the US Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
