AbbVie Inc.'s adjusted-earnings guidance for 2022 exceeds the level that Wall Street analysts have forecast.

The North Chicago, Ill.-based pharmaceutical company said it expects 2022 adjusted earnings of $14 to $14.20 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had been projecting adjusted earnings of $13.99 a share.

AbbVie said its adjusted earnings guidance excludes $4.74 a share of amortization expenses on intangible assets, non-cash charges for contingent consideration adjustments and other items.

The guidance, part of AbbVie's release of fourth-quarter earnings results on Wednesday, helped send shares 1.1% higher in premarket trading.
