Second-Quarter 2026 segment commentary:
Operational sales* reflected below excludes the impact of translational currency.
Innovative Medicine
Innovative Medicine worldwide operational sales grew 6.8%*, with divestitures negatively impacting growth by 10 basis points. Growth was primarily driven by DARZALEX, CARVYKTI, TECVAYLI and RYBREVANT/LAZCLUZE in Oncology, TREMFYA and Other Immunology in Immunology, and SPRAVATO and CAPLYTA in Neuroscience. Growth was partially offset by STELARA (an approximate 760 basis points impact) and REMICADE in Immunology, as well as IMBRUVICA and ZYTIGA in Oncology.
MedTech
MedTech worldwide operational sales grew 3.6%*, with net acquisitions and divestitures negatively impacting growth by 10 basis points. Growth was primarily driven by wound closure products and biosurgery products in Surgery, electrophysiology products and Shockwave in Cardiovascular, contact lenses in Vision, and trauma in Orthopaedics.



Full-year 2026 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.
