Celgene operates in two key therapeutic areas ~ Hematology /Oncology, and Inflammation & Immunology. The company’s blockbuster drug Revlimid is used for the treatment of multiple myeloma, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The drug has seen stellar sales growth from $5.8 billion in 2015 to an estimated $9.7 billion in 2018. The drug’s peak sales are estimated to be as high as $15 billion by 2022, when it nears its patent expiration. The MDS market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 10% till 2022 to an estimated $2.4 billion, and Revlimid’s share is estimated to be over 90%. However, in the MCL market it faces strong competition from Imbruvica and Rituxan. Pomalyst is another billion dollar drug for Celgene, with sales estimated to be over $2 billion in 2018. It is also used for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Otezla is used to treat psoriatic arthritis and plaque psoriasis, with estimated sales of over $1 billion in 2018. Overall, these three drugs account for roughly 90% of the company’s total revenues. Looking at operating margins, they grew from 28% in 2016 to 36% in 2017, and are estimated to be 34% in 2018, as per the company’s guidance, which translates into $5.2 billion profit.

Celgene’s late stage pipeline is attractive with ozanimod in immunology and inflammation, and luspatercept, liso-cel (JCAR017), bb2121, and fedratinib in hematology. These drugs have potential peak sales of over $10 billion. Bristol-Myers Squibb recently announced its plan to merge with Celgene.
