Pharmaceutical firm AbbVie in 2017 increased its U.S.-booked
air travel spend by about 9 percent, according to a BTN estimate. The company
has further expanded its single Bank of America card platform outside the U.S.
and has deployed its Concur Travel booking tool in some foreign countries, as
well. Revenue increased 10 percent to more than $28.2 billion, driven by
increased sales of its Humira arthritis medication, among other products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7 percent to about $6.3
billion. AbbVie on Jan. 31, 2018, employed approximately 29,000 people, down
from about 30,000 at the beginning of 2017.
