Put simply, earnings are falling.
There are growth areas within the organisation, but no overall growth.
Advair, the last GSK blockbuster, is still contributing around £1 Billion of
revenue annually, that will likely continue to dwindle rapidly.
The last few years for GSK financially, have been about navigating
the Advair patent cliff.
That drug at it's peak contributed about 30% of GSK overall profitability.
Advair was an extraordinary contributer to the P& L.
I'm old enough to remember the giant patent cliff of Zantac,
which transformed GSK fortunes. Long time ago now.
