S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) today reported second quarter 2022 results with reported revenue of $2.99 billion, an increase of 42% compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the inclusion of IHS Markit businesses, partially offset by declines in Ratings revenue. Continued execution drove growth across five of the Company’s six divisions, while Ratings transaction revenue continues to be negatively impacted by a sharp year-over-year reduction in debt issuance. GAAP net income increased 22% to $972 million and GAAP diluted earnings per share decreased 13% to $2.86 primarily due to the increase in shares outstanding as a result of the merger with IHS Markit. The Company also announced it will be holding an Investor Day on December 1, 2022 in New York City. The event will be in-person by invitation, and webcast publicly.

“As we pass the first 100 days as a combined company, we are very pleased with the progress we’ve made on integration,” said Douglas L. Peterson, President and Chief Executive Officer of S&P Global. “We continue to focus on disciplined execution, evidenced by the fact that we delivered growth in five of our six divisions, and are ahead of schedule on cost and revenue synergies despite a challenging macro environment.”

Study Exposes High Cost Of Pharmacies Printing Medical Information Leaflets

MLPS (Medical Leaflet = Patient Safety), a subgroup of the European Carton Manufacturers Association (ECMA), is releasing a study today, shedding light on the potential economic costs associated with the proposed use of Print on Demand (PoD) leaflets in the pharmaceutical legislation revision. With the European Commission’s proposal allowing countries to decide on the format of medical leaflets, MLPS underscores the necessity of understanding the financial implications of this decision. The study, commissioned by MLPS, addresses a critical question left unresolved in the proposed Directive: the enormous total cost implications of implementing PoD leaflets alongside electronic Product Information (ePI). The study’s conservative quantification provides stakeholders with valuable insights into the economic impacts of PoD leaflets. The estimated total cost of PoD leaflets across Europe-27 ranges from €1.680 billion to €3.495 billion annually, depending on whether leaflets are printed in black or four-color ink. It is unclear who will bear these costs, which are currently borne by the pharma industry.

Walgreens Joins Groundbreaking Consortium to Reinvent the Plastic Retail Bag

Walgreens announced this week that it has joined a groundbreaking consortium that aims to reinvent the single-use plastic retail bag. Teaming up with other major retailers and with non-profit organizations in the Consortium to Reinvent the Retail Bag, Walgreens is committed to being part of the solution to the waste and recycling issues associated with the use of more than 100 billion retail plastic bags every year in the U.S. The goal of the Beyond the Bag initiative is to identify, test and implement viable design solutions and models that more sustainably serve the purpose of the current retail bag. Current alternatives to the plastic retail bag have yet to garner industry-wide support or widespread use by the public and many still have significant environmental impacts.
