Navigating SG&A Expenses: A Tale of Two Companies

In the competitive landscape of pharmaceuticals, managing Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses is crucial for profitability. Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Perrigo Company plc offer a fascinating study in contrasts over the past decade. From 2014 to 2023, Apellis saw a staggering increase in SG&A expenses, skyrocketing from approximately $2.9 million to over $500 million, marking a growth of over 17,000%. Meanwhile, Perrigo's expenses remained relatively stable, with a modest increase of about 89%, from $675 million to $1.27 billion.

This divergence highlights differing strategic approaches: Apellis's rapid expansion and investment in administrative capabilities versus Perrigo's steady, controlled growth. Understanding these trends provides valuable insights into how companies navigate financial management in a dynamic industry. As investors and stakeholders, recognizing these patterns can inform better decision-making and strategic planning.
