We applied a similarly innovative approach to strengthening our balance sheet with our recent $1.3 billion debt offering, which includes our first-ever social bond, positioning us well to advance our mission of funding the development of innovative therapies. Lastly, we delivered solid financial performance in the second quarter of 2021 and are delighted to raise our full-year financial guidance.”

However, this was offset by royalty receipts decrease from the HIV franchise because of Truvada and Atripia exclusivity loss.
For the full year, the company anticipates adjusted cash receipts to be between $1.08 billion and $2.12 billion minus new transactions announced ahead of the release of the results. The figures reflect royalty transactions and net payment of $37 million related to Soliqua in Q3.
