    Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers

    FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 17, 2008--Gilead
Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GILD) announced today its results of
operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Total revenues for the
second quarter of 2008 were $1.28 billion, up 22 percent compared to
total revenues of $1.05 billion for the second quarter of 2007. Net
income for the second quarter of 2008 was $442.8 million, or $0.46 per
diluted share, including after-tax stock-based compensation expense of
$26.4 million and after-tax purchased in-process research and
development (IPR&D) expense of $7.8 million. Excluding after-tax
stock-based compensation and IPR&D expenses of $34.2 million, non-GAAP
net income for the second quarter of 2008 was $477.0 million, or $0.49
per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2007
was $442.2 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, which excluded
after-tax stock-based compensation expense of $34.3 million.

    Product Sales

    Product sales were a record $1.22 billion for the second quarter
of 2008, compared to $905.1 million in the second quarter of 2007, a
34 percent increase. This growth was driven primarily by Gilead's
antiviral franchise, including the strong growth of Atripla(R)
(efavirenz 600 mg/ emtricitabine 200 mg/ tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
300 mg) sales due primarily to the continued uptake of Atripla in the
United States and the recent launches in certain European countries,
as well as the continued growth of Truvada(R) (emtricitabine and
tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) sales in the United States and Europe.

    Antiviral Franchise

    Antiviral product sales were $1.12 billion in the second quarter
of 2008, a 34 percent increase from $837.4 million for the same period
in 2007. The increase was driven primarily by the sales volume growth
of Atripla and Truvada, as well as a favorable foreign currency
exchange impact.

    --  Truvada

    Truvada sales were $516.1 million for the second quarter of 2008,
an increase of 34 percent from $385.4 million in the second quarter of
2007. The increase in Truvada sales in the second quarter of 2008
compared to the same period of 2007 was driven primarily by sales
volume growth in the United States and Europe, and a favorable foreign
currency exchange impact.

    --  Atripla

    Atripla sales were $355.1 million for the second quarter of 2008,
an increase of 67 percent from $212.4 million in the second quarter of
2007. The increase in Atripla sales in the second quarter of 2008
compared to the same period in 2007 was driven primarily by the
continued uptake in the United States, as well as the recent launches
in certain European countries.

    --  Viread

    Viread(R) (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) sales were $150.7
million for the second quarter of 2008, a three percent decrease from
$154.9 million in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in Viread
sales in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of
2007 was driven primarily by lower sales volumes in the United States
and Europe, partially offset by a favorable foreign currency exchange
impact.

    --  Hepsera

    Sales of Hepsera(R) (adefovir dipivoxil) for chronic hepatitis B
were $90.4 million for the second quarter of 2008, a 20 percent
increase from $75.2 million in the second quarter of 2007. The
increase in Hepsera sales in the second quarter of 2008 compared to
the same period of 2007 was driven primarily by a favorable foreign
currency exchange impact and sales volume growth in certain European
markets.

    AmBisome

    For the second quarter of 2008, sales of AmBisome(R) (amphotericin
B) liposome for injection for severe fungal infections were $69.8
million, an increase of eight percent from $64.8 million for the
second quarter of 2007. The increase in AmBisome sales in the second
quarter of 2008 compared to the same period of 2007 was driven
primarily by a favorable foreign currency exchange impact.

    Royalty, Contract and Other Revenues

    For the second quarter of 2008, royalty, contract and other
revenues resulting primarily from collaborations with corporate
partners were $60.9 million, a decrease of 57 percent from $143.0
million in the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in royalty,
contract and other revenues during the second quarter of 2008 compared
to the same period of 2007 was driven primarily by lower Tamiflu(R)
(oseltamivir phosphate) royalties from F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd of
$37.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to Tamiflu
royalties of $123.1 million in the second quarter of 2007 due to
decreased sales related to pandemic planning initiatives worldwide.

    Research and Development

    Research and development (R&D) expenses in the second quarter of
2008 were $176.5 million compared to $135.9 million for the same
quarter in 2007. Non-GAAP R&D expenses, which exclude stock-based
compensation expense, for the second quarter of 2008 were $161.2
million, compared to $119.3 million for the same quarter in 2007.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were higher
primarily as a result of increased clinical study expenses as well as
higher headcount related to the growth in Gilead's business.

    Selling, General and Administrative

    Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the second
quarter of 2008 were $219.5 million compared to $186.2 million for the
same quarter in 2007. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses, which exclude
stock-based compensation expense, for the second quarter of 2008 were
$200.9 million, compared to $157.7 million for the same quarter in
2007. Non-GAAP SG&A expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were
higher primarily as a result of increased marketing and promotional
expenses including those related to the launch of Atripla in certain
European countries, higher headcount related to the growth in Gilead's
business, as well as costs associated with certain termination-related
disputes in our international operations.

    Net Foreign Currency Exchange Impact

    The net foreign currency exchange impact on second quarter 2008
revenues and pre-tax earnings, which includes revenues and expenses
generated from outside the United States, was a favorable $45.2
million and $20.7 million, respectively, compared to the same period
in 2007.

    Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

    As of June 30, 2008, Gilead had cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities of $2.91 billion compared to $2.72 billion as of
December 31, 2007. For the first six months of 2008, Gilead generated
$1.00 billion of operating cash flows, which was partially offset by
Gilead's repurchases of $965.8 million of its common stock under its
share repurchase program.

the company as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
