Net income attributable to Gilead
The net income experienced a significant increase from 123 million US dollars in 2020 to 6,225 million in 2021, marking a substantial positive shift. This was followed by a decrease to 4,592 million in 2022. In 2023, net income showed a recovery, increasing to 5,665 million, but then declined sharply to 480 million in 2024. Overall, the data indicates volatility with a peak in 2021, fluctuations thereafter, and a downward trend by the final year.
Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT)
NOPAT followed a somewhat similar pattern initially, rising from 633 million US dollars in 2020 to a peak of 6,897 million in 2021. However, unlike net income, NOPAT declined more sharply to 3,687 million in 2022. It showed an improvement in 2023, rising to 5,086 million, before turning negative in 2024 with a value of -796 million. This negative figure in the last period signals a significant operational challenge or increased expenses resulting in operating losses after taxes.

Income Tax Expense
The income tax expense displayed a fluctuating pattern over the examined periods. Starting at 1,580 million US dollars in 2020, the expense increased significantly to 2,077 million US dollars in 2021. This was followed by a sharp decline to 1,248 million US dollars in 2022, remaining relatively stable into 2023 with a negligible decrease to 1,247 million US dollars. Notably, in 2024, there was a pronounced drop to 211 million US dollars, marking the lowest point in the time series.
Cash Operating Taxes
Cash operating taxes showed a generally increasing trend from 2020 to 2022. Beginning at 2,006 million US dollars in 2020, they rose to 2,403 million US dollars in 2021 and further to a peak of 2,981 million US dollars in 2022. The trend reversed afterward, with a decrease to 2,366 million US dollars in 2023, followed by a continued decline to 2,205 million US dollars in 2024. Despite this reversal, cash operating taxes remained higher in the last two years compared to 2020 levels.
Comparative Insights
The data suggests a divergence between income tax expense and cash operating taxes beginning from 2022 onwards. While cash operating taxes peaked in 2022 and then declined, income tax expense sharply decreased in 2024, indicating possible changes in tax planning, accounting practices, or tax regulations impacting reporting differently from cash outflows related to operating taxes. The significant reduction in income tax expense by 2024 suggests a substantial alteration in either taxable income or effective tax rates.

Total reported debt & leases
The total reported debt and leases decreased significantly from 32,117 million US dollars in 2020 to 25,808 million US dollars in 2022. This trend indicates a reduction in debt obligations over this period. However, from 2022 to 2023, the debt level remained relatively stable, showing only a slight decrease to 25,658 million US dollars. In 2024, there was an uptick in total debt, increasing to 27,322 million US dollars, suggesting a reversal of the prior debt reduction trend.
Total Gilead stockholders’ equity
Stockholders’ equity saw a consistent increase from 18,202 million US dollars in 2020 to a peak of 22,833 million US dollars in 2023. This upward movement reflects a strengthening of the company's equity base during these years. However, in 2024, equity fell notably to 19,330 million US dollars, implying a decrease in net assets attributable to shareholders, which could be due to various factors such as losses, dividends, or share repurchases.
Invested capital
Invested capital showed a declining trend throughout the period from 50,285 million US dollars in 2020 to 44,333 million US dollars in 2024. This steady decrease suggests a contraction in the total capital employed in the business, possibly due to asset disposals, changes in financing structure, or operational adjustments.
Summary
Overall, the company experienced a reduction in debt from 2020 to 2022, but this trend reversed in 2024. Equity increased notably until 2023, followed by a significant decline in 2024. Invested capital consistently decreased over the five years. These patterns suggest a shifting financial structure, with potential impacts on leverage and capital deployment in the most recent year.
