About Johnson & Johnson
About Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson generated fiscal 2025 revenue across two segments: Innovative Medicine, covering oncology, immunology, neuroscience, pulmonary hypertension, infectious diseases, and cardiovascular therapies, and MedTech, covering cardiovascular devices, orthopaedics, surgery, and vision care. DARZALEX accounted for approximately 15.0% of fiscal 2025 revenues, STELARA for about 6.5%, and TREMFYA for 5.5%. About 43% of fiscal 2025 sales occurred outside the U.S., with roughly 23% in Europe and 15% in Asia-Pacific and Africa, across operations employing 138,200 full-time equivalents worldwide.
The Innovative Medicine segment sells prescription medicines — including CAR-T therapies, bispecific antibodies, and anticoagulants — through wholesalers, distributors, hospitals, and direct to healthcare professionals. The MedTech segment distributes cardiovascular devices, orthopaedic implants, surgical instruments, and ACUVUE contact lenses to hospitals and eye care professionals worldwide. Revenue is affected by government and private payer reimbursement decisions; the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 subjected XARELTO, STELARA, and IMBRUVICA to government-established Medicare pricing beginning in 2026. ERLEADA was added to the 2028 Selected Drug list in January 2026. Janssen Pharmaceuticals challenged the IRA's constitutionality; in December 2025, it sought Supreme Court review of the Third Circuit's ruling. In October 2025, the company announced plans to separate its Orthopaedics business within 18 to 24 months.

DARZALEX faces a patent expiration in the United States in 2029; Janssen Biotech licenses the compound patents from Genmab A/S at royalty rates ranging from 12% to 20% of total DARZALEX net sales, with royalties of about $2.4 billion paid in fiscal 2025 alone. STELARA, contributing 6.5% of total revenues, faces active biosimilar competition globally as multiple biologics license applications have been filed with the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency. Combined, these two products represent roughly 21.5% of fiscal 2025 revenues and both are subject to near-term exclusivity pressure.
