As we begin 2024, we are already executing on our vision for our next chapter-balancing the return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, continuing to fuel our base business and investing in future growth with today’s announcement of what we expect will be a strategically significant global research and development collaboration with Idorsia.
