In the United States, [removed: particularly over the past few years,] a number of legislative and regulatory proposals have been introduced and/or signed into law to lower drug prices.
These include the IRA [removed: law] that enables the U.S. government to set prices for certain drugs in Medicare, redesigns Medicare Part D benefits to shift a greater proportion of the costs to manufacturers and health plans, and enables the U.S. government to impose penalties if drug prices are increased at a rate faster than inflation (IRA Inflation Penalties).
Additional proposals focused on drug pricing continue to be debated, and additional executive orders or regulatory initiatives focused on drug pricing and competition [removed: are likely to] [added: may] be adopted and implemented in some form.
[removed: However, to] [added: To] the extent [removed: that payer] [added: such] actions [removed: further decrease] [added: reduce] or modify [removed: the] coverage or reimbursement [removed: available] for our products, [removed: require that we pay increased] [added: increase] rebates or [removed: shift] other [removed: costs to us, limit or affect our decisions regarding the] [added: costs, constrain] pricing [removed: of] [added: decisions,] or otherwise [removed: reduce the use of our products, such actions could] [added: limit product use, they would] have [removed: a material] [added: an] adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
See Part [removed: I,] [added: II,] Item [removed: 1.][added: 7.]
For example, the IRA includes provisions requiring [removed: that, beginning in 2026,] mandatory [removed: price setting be introduced] [added: pricing] in Medicare for certain drugs [removed: paid for] under Parts B and [removed: D, whereby manufacturers must accept a price established by the government or face penalties on all U.S. sales] [added: D] (starting with 10 drugs [removed: in] [added: effective January 1,] 2026, adding 15 in 2027 and 2028, and adding 20 in 2029 and subsequent [added: years such that, by 2031, approximately 100 drugs would be subject to such set prices).]
[removed: In 2024,] CMS [added: has] set [removed: a price for ENBREL under] Medicare Part D [removed: that is significantly lower than currently applicable, beginning on] [added: prices for ENBREL, effective] January 1, 2026, [removed: which we expect will] [added: and Otezla, effective January 2027, in each case at significantly lower prices that are expected to] negatively impact [removed: its] [added: their] profitability in Medicare.
See [removed: Part I,] Item [removed: 2.][added: 1.]
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of [removed: operations—Product sales—ENBREL.][added: operations—*Product sales*.]
Depending on the growth and success of our medicines, other of our medicines may also be subject to selection by CMS in the next, or in a future, cycle of mandatory Medicare price [removed: setting.][added: setting, we may be required to accept a price set by the government for Medicare using the process that was applied to ENBREL and Otezla.]
Also under the IRA, Medicare Part D was redesigned to cap beneficiary out-of-pocket costs [removed: and, beginning January 1, 2025,] [added: and reduce] Federal reinsurance [removed: will be reduced] in the catastrophic [removed: phase (resulting in a shift and increase of such costs to] [added: phase; increasing cost-sharing obligations for] Part D plans and manufacturers, including by requiring manufacturer [removed: discounts on certain drugs).][added: discounts.]
Further, the IRA inflation penalties [removed: allows] [added: allow] CMS to collect rebates from manufacturers if [added: Medicare] price increases outpace [removed: inflation.][added: inflation, and several of our products have been subject to such IRA inflation rebates.]
The IRA’s Medicare price setting and Medicare redesign [added: have had, and] are likely to [removed: have a material] [added: have, an] adverse effect on our sales, our business and our results of operations, and such impact is expected to increase through the end of the decade and will depend on factors including the extent of our portfolio’s exposure to Medicare reimbursement, the rate of inflation over time, the number of our products selected for Medicare price setting and the timing of market entry of generic or biosimilar competition.
Further, following the enactment of the IRA, the environment remains [removed: dynamic] [added: dynamic,] and U.S. policymakers continue to demonstrate interest in health care and drug pricing [removed: changes.][added: changes as well as potential changes affecting intellectual property.]
At the state level, legislation, government [removed: actions,] [added: actions] and ballot initiatives can also affect how our products are covered and reimbursed and/or create additional pressure on our pricing decisions.
Existing and proposed state pricing [removed: laws] [added: laws, which may move forward more rapidly than similar efforts at the federal level,] have added complexity to the pricing of [removed: drugs and may already be affecting industry pricing decisions.][added: drugs.]
[removed: A number of states have adopted, and many] other [removed: states are considering, PDABs,] drug [removed: importation programs, reference] pricing [removed: schemes, and other drug pricing] actions, including proposals designed to require biopharmaceutical manufacturers to report to the state proprietary pricing information or provide advance notice of certain price increases.
States [removed: are also enacting] [added: continue to pursue] laws [added: related to price controls,] referencing the IRA and seeking to regulate and prohibit restrictions on the 340B Program.
Further, inappropriate expanded utilization of the 340B Program from broadened application of the 340B discounts has had, and is [added: expected to continue to have, a negative impact on the Company’s product sales, business and results of operations.]
[removed: expected to continue to have, a negative impact on the Company’s] [added: our] product sales, business and results of operations.
[removed: Louisiana,] [added: Twenty states (Louisiana,] Arkansas, West Virginia, Minnesota, [removed: Kansas,] Mississippi, [removed: Missouri] [added: Missouri, Maryland, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Nebraska, New Mexico, Colorado, Tennessee, Oregon, Vermont, Hawaii, Oklahoma, Rhode Island] and [removed: Maryland] [added: Maine)] have enacted laws with mandates on manufacturers participating in the 340B Program, and, in [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] no fewer than [removed: 25] [added: 30] states [removed: considered] [added: have introduced] similar legislation.
These bills vary, but typically include provisions [removed: on] restricting a manufacturer’s ability to direct drugs in 340B channels, recognizing 340B contract pharmacies and a prohibition on requiring the inclusion of 340B claims modifiers.
[removed: Becerra, where] [added: Becerra*,] the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina issued an order in November 2023 [removed: that enjoins] [added: enjoining] the Health Resources and Services Administration from enforcing [removed: its] [added: a] more restrictive interpretation [removed: of] [added: against Genesis Health Care as to] who [removed: is considered] [added: qualifies as] a patient under the 340B Program, [removed: to the potential benefit of healthcare systems seeking to expand] [added: which could, if adopted more broadly, affect] the [removed: application] [added: scope] of [added: eligibility for] 340B discounts.
Additionally, [removed: on January 5,] [added: in] 2024, the FDA authorized Florida to move forward with its importation program proposal, though the state has not [added: yet] completed any significant steps towards importation within the [removed: one-year] [added: two-year] authorization window.
Ultimately, [removed: as with U.S. federal government actions,] existing or future state government actions or ballot initiatives may also have a material adverse effect on our product sales, business and results of operations.
[removed: Payers, including PBMs, have sought, and continue to seek, price discounts or rebates in connection with the placement of our products on their formularies or those they] manage, and to also impose restrictions on access to, or usage of, our products (such as Step Therapy), require that patients receive the payer’s prior authorization before covering the product, and/or [removed: chosen] to exclude certain indications for which our products are approved.
[added: See *—Concentration of sales at certain of our wholesaler distributors, and consolidation of private payers, such as insurers, and PBMs has negatively affected, and may continue to negatively affect, our business.*] This high degree of consolidation among insurers, PBMs and other payers, including integrated healthcare delivery systems and/or with specialty or mail-order pharmacies and pharmacy retailers, has increased the negotiating leverage such entities have over us and other biopharmaceutical manufacturers and has resulted in greater price discounts, rebates and service fees realized by those payers from our business.
Ultimately, additional discounts, rebates, fees, coverage changes, plan changes, restrictions or exclusions imposed by these commercial payers could have a material adverse [added: effect on our product sales, business and results of operations.]
See [removed: *Concentration] [added: *—Concentration] of sales at certain of our wholesaler distributors, and consolidation of private payers, such as insurers, and PBMs has negatively affected, and may continue to negatively affect, our business.*
Pressures to decrease drug expenditures may intensify as governments take actions to address budgets strained by high inflation and weak economic conditions, including in [removed: Europe] [added: Europe,] where [removed: the effects of the Russia–Ukraine conflict have challenged the economies in that region.][added: sustained fiscal pressures continue to challenge public healthcare systems.]
Value assessments may come from private organizations that publish their findings and offer recommendations relating to the products’ reimbursement by government and [removed: private payers.]
Such health technology assessment organizations have [removed: recommended,] [added: *recommended*,] and may in the future recommend, reimbursement for certain of our products for a narrower indication than was approved by applicable regulatory agencies or may recommend against reimbursement entirely.
[added: See *Our sales depend on] coverage and reimbursement from government and commercial third-party payers, and pricing and reimbursement pressures have affected, and are likely to continue to affect, our [removed: profitability.][added: profitability*.]
*We could be subject to additional tax liabilities, including from an adverse outcome in our ongoing tax dispute with the IRS and other tax examinations, enactment of the OECD minimum corporate tax rate agreement and the adoption and interpretation of new tax legislation, [removed: and we anticipate additional tax liabilities from certain provisions of the 2017 Tax Act that will go into effect in 2026; such tax liabilities could adversely affect our profitability and results of operations.*][added: including OB3.]
Significant disputes can and have arisen with tax authorities involving issues regarding the timing and amount of deductions, the use of tax credits and allocations of income and expenses among various tax jurisdictions because of differing interpretations of tax laws, regulations and relevant facts, and such tax authorities (including the IRS) are becoming more aggressive in [removed: their] [added: its] audits and are particularly focused on such matters.
[removed: In July] [added: We disagreed with the proposed adjustments and calculations, and in] 2021, we filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court to contest two duplicate Statutory Notices of Deficiency (Notices) for the years [removed: 2010–2012 that we received in May and July 2021 which seek to increase our U.S. taxable income for the years] 2010–2012.
[removed: In July 2022, we filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court to contest a] [added: The] Notice [removed: for the years 2013–2015 that we previously reported receiving in April 2022 that] seeks to increase our U.S. taxable income for the years 2013–2015 and asserts penalties.
Such tax liabilities could adversely affect our profitability and results of operations.
On July 4, 2025, OB3 was enacted and included several changes to Medicare, Medicaid and Affordable Care Act policies, including provisions affecting eligibility, that, when implemented, are expected to adversely affect coverage and reimbursement for our products.
On May 12, 2025, the Administration issued the Most-Favored-Nations (MFN) Prescription Drug Pricing Executive Order (MFN EO) aimed at using price benchmarks from other developed countries to set U.S. pricing targets.
Subsequently, on July 31, 2025 the Administration sent letters to many pharmaceutical manufacturers, including Amgen (the July MFN Letter) as further described below, outlining steps that such manufacturers could take to advance actions consistent with elements of the MFN EO.
In December 2025, we announced that we are taking actions that satisfy the components outlined in the July MFN Letter, including the Administration’s MFN pricing requests.
Further, the Administration has called on Congress to enact legislation that would codify the terms that the Administration arrived at with recipients of the July MFN Letter (the MFN Terms).
The details of such legislative framework are unknown and, if enacted, such legislation could apply to a broader range of products, payers or pricing arrangements for a longer period than those resulting from the MFN Terms.
It remains unclear what further policies, legislation and/or actions the Administration, Congress, or state governments will advance with respect to other drug pricing proposals or other healthcare regulations affecting pharmaceuticals, including the MFN EO, IRA and OB3 implementation, trade policies, or state laws affecting the 340B Program or Medicaid reimbursement that could ultimately be adopted more broadly.
Further, CMS has issued guidance that allows for the re-setting of prices for drugs for which it previously set a price.
On April 15, 2025, the Administration issued an executive order (the April 2025 EO) that, among other directives, directs HHS to work with Congress to align the treatment of small molecule drugs and biologics in the Medicare price setting program under the IRA.
It is currently unclear how such modifications would affect the timeframe in which Medicare price setting becomes applicable for selected drugs or biologics.
Implementation of OB3 also may impact access to and reimbursement of our products.
For example, the Congressional Budget Office has projected that the OB3 will result in significant reductions in federal Medicaid spending over the next decade and an increase in the number of people without health insurance.
These developments would place greater stress on state budgets and hospital finances, and could result in reduced access to medicines, additional pressure to further discount medicines and further growth of 340B Program utilization.
The MFN EO directs HHS to pursue pricing policies that align U.S. drug prices with the prices available in certain comparably developed countries and directs a range of actions to advance that objective, including through regulatory, trade and other policy measures.
In July 2025, the Administration delivered the July MFN Letter to us and a number of other manufacturers that called for drug manufacturers to: 1) extend MFN pricing to Medicaid; 2) guarantee MFN pricing to Medicaid, Medicare and commercial payers on all newly launched drugs; 3) use future increased revenues from outside the U.S. to lower U.S. drug prices; and 4) participate in direct-to-patient models to provide MFN pricing for certain drugs.
Since the issuance of the July MFN Letter, most recipients have announced that they have reached agreement with the Administration to address the matters described in the letter.
In December 2025, we announced that we are taking actions that satisfy the components outlined in the July MFN Letter, including the Administration’s MFN pricing requests.
We also announced the expansion of our direct-to-patient program.
While this development reflects ongoing engagement on pricing policy, the ultimate effects on our pricing, reimbursement, net sales and profitability remain uncertain in light of evolving regulatory and policy expectations.
A number of states have adopted, and many other states are considering, PDABs, drug importation programs, reference pricing schemes and
In 2025, Maryland expanded the scope of its PDAB law to include the commercial market.
The Colorado PDAB deemed three of five drugs “unaffordable,” including ENBREL, and in October 2025 the Colorado PDAB established an Upper Payment Limit (UPL) substantially lower than the wholesale acquisition cost of ENBREL that would be generally applicable to all formulations of ENBREL, effective no earlier than January 1, 2027, and will be reviewed annually.
On July 16, 2025, Washington state’s PDAB selected ENBREL for one of its first affordability reviews.
Following the timeline and process established by the state for such affordability review, the manufacturer and the PDAB will undertake a number of required interactions.
However, the Washington state PDAB may not establish a UPL for any prescription drug before January 1, 2027.
With OB3’s reductions to federal Medicaid funding to states, increased pressure is anticipated for providers to find and preserve existing revenue sources at the state level, which may result in increased use of 340B contract pharmacy mandates.
In *Genesis Health Care, Inc. v.
Since this decision, various courts have reached differing conclusions on challenges to state laws regulating aspects of the 340B Program, with some courts declining to enjoin such laws and others granting relief to challengers.
Certain appellate courts have issued decisions both upholding certain state 340B statues and affirming the denial of preliminary injunctive relief to manufacturers, while litigation and appeals concerning the validity, interpretation, and enforcement of these laws remain ongoing.
Further, the April 2025 EO also directs HHS to, within 90 days, streamline and improve the drug importation program to ease the process for states to obtain drug importation approvals.
On May 21, 2025, the FDA issued a press release indicating it was taking steps to enhance state importation programs and would offer individual states and tribes the opportunity to submit draft proposals for pre-review and to meet with the agency to obtain initial feedback prior to formally submitting importation proposals.
While under federal law biologics remain exempt from such state importation activities, our small molecule products could be impacted by these initiatives.
Payers, including PBMs, have sought, and continue to seek, price discounts or rebates in connection with the placement of our products on their formularies or those they
In addition, policies under consideration or adopted in the United States that reference or tie drug prices to those paid in foreign jurisdictions, including through most-favored-nation or similar pricing approaches, could increase the significance of pricing decisions in such foreign jurisdictions.
private payers.
The EU has adopted and begun implementing Regulation 2021/2282 on Health Technology Assessment, which establishes a permanent framework for cooperation among EU member states on joint clinical assessments and scientific consultations of health technologies, with key provisions that became applicable in January 2025, and further phased implementation continuing through 2030.
Such tax liabilities could adversely affect our profitability and results of operations.*
The Notices seek to increase our U.S. taxable income for the years 2010–2012.
We disagreed with the proposed adjustments and calculations, and in 2022, we filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court to contest a Notice for the years 2013–2015.
Further, pressures on healthcare budgets from the economic downturn and inflation continue and are likely to increase, across the markets we serve.
It is unclear what policies the new Administration will advance with respect to IRA implementation and other drug pricing proposals.
Further, state government activity has been dynamic, including certain states enacting new laws limiting drug reimbursement under state run Medicaid programs and prohibiting restrictions on 340B Program use.
Such state laws could also eventually be adopted at the federal level.
We are unable to predict which or how many policy, regulatory, administrative or legislative changes may ultimately be, or effectively estimate the consequences to our business if, enacted and implemented.
years such that, by 2031, approximately 100 drugs could be subject to such set prices).
The Medicare price setting process for the first 10 drugs subject to Medicare price setting in Part D began in 2023 , which includes ENBREL, our product that currently generates considerable revenues.
In January 2025, CMS announced the next 15 drugs for Medicare price setting that will be applicable beginning on January 1, 2027, which includes Otezla.
If other of our medicines are selected by CMS for Medicare price setting, we may be required to accept a price set by the government for Medicare similar to the process that was applied to ENBREL.
Such rebate obligations began to accrue October 1, 2022 for Medicare Part D and January 1, 2023 for Medicare Part B, but CMS has not yet issued invoices and has some discretion as to when to issue such invoices to manufacturers.
We expect that several of our products will be subject to IRA inflation penalties, and several of our products have been on lists that are issued and updated on a quarterly basis by CMS under a related program under which Medicare beneficiaries are charged reduced coinsurance if price increases exceed inflation.
Additionally, various government agencies have taken actions designed to reduce expenditures on prescription drugs.
For example, HHS released a report with drug pricing proposals that seek to promote competition.
The USPTO has also taken steps to strengthen coordination with the FDA to address perceived impediments to generic drug and biosimilar competition.
Other CMS policy changes and demonstration projects to test new care, delivery and payment models can also significantly affect how drugs, including our products, are covered and reimbursed.
In 2024, no fewer than 17 states introduced PDAB legislation.
The Colorado PDAB deemed three of five drugs “unaffordable,” including ENBREL, and are subject to rulemaking to establish an Upper Payment Limit (UPL) commencing March 2025 and that could be effective as soon as the fourth quarter of 2025.
In March 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit ruled that Arkansas’ Act 1103, which prohibits drugmakers from restricting the acquisition or delivery of 340B drugs to covered entities and their contract pharmacies, was not preempted by the federal 340B statute.
The decision contributed to an increase in the number of states considering similar legislation.
In July 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi denied motions for a preliminary injunction in two cases challenging a similar law in Mississippi, finding that neither plaintiff had demonstrated a substantial likelihood of success on the merits.
These orders are being appealed at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.
In September 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana dismissed a lawsuit challenging Louisiana’s 340B contract pharmacy mandate law, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland denied a motion for preliminary injunction challenging a similar law in Maryland.
These lawsuits challenging states on their 340B contract pharmacy laws are subsequent to Genesis Health Care, Inc. v.
For example, some payers require physicians to demonstrate or document that the patients for whom Repatha has been prescribed meet their utilization criteria, and these requirements have served to limit patient access to Repatha treatment.
In an effort to reduce barriers to access, we reduced the net price of Repatha by providing greater discounts and rebates to payers (including PBMs that administer Medicare Part D prescription drug plans), and in response to a very high percentage of Medicare patients abandoning their Repatha prescriptions rather than paying their co-pay, we introduced a set of new National Drug Codes to make Repatha available at a lower list price.
However, affordability of patient out-of-pocket co-pay cost has limited, and may continue to limit, patient use.
Further, despite these net and list price reductions, some payers have restricted, and may continue to restrict, patient access and may seek further discounts or rebates or take other actions, such as changing formulary coverage for Repatha, that could reduce its sales.
These factors have limited, and may continue to limit, patient affordability and use, negatively affecting Repatha sales.
For example, in the United States, the FTC’s interim report released in 2024 showed that the top six integrated health plans and PBMs controlled about 94% of all pharmacy prescriptions.
effect on our product sales, business and results of operations.
Policy reforms advanced by Congress or the Administration that refine the role of PBMs in the U.S. marketplace could have downstream implications or consequences for our business and how we interact with these entities.
For example, in September 2024, the FTC brought action against the three largest PBMs alleging anticompetitive and unfair rebating practices.
In addition, multiple Congressional Committees have been investigating PBM practices and have also proposed legislation that could increase transparency and reporting of these practices and/or impact rebates and service fees.
The results of such inquiries could have an effect on manufacturer interactions with PBMs, resulting in changes to access for certain medicines.
For example, in 2022, several Medicare Administrative Contractors issued notice that TEZSPIRE would be added to their “self-administered drug” exclusion lists.
Although the Medicare Administrative Contractors subsequently removed TEZSPIRE from their exclusion lists, these exclusions, if reintroduced and/or implemented, would result in Medicare beneficiaries with severe asthma losing access to TEZSPIRE coverage under Medicare Part B and potentially also under Medicare Advantage.

For [removed: 2025,] [added: 2026,] we expect volume growth from certain brands to be partially offset by net selling price declines.
Further, the first quarter of a year historically represents the lowest product sales quarter for the year, in part due to plan changes, insurance reverifications and higher co-pay expenses as U.S. patients work through deductibles, [added: including for ENBREL and Otezla, and to a lesser extent for KRYSTEXXA, TEZSPIRE and Repatha,] particularly for products acquired through pharmacy benefit programs.

Furthermore, product sales continue to be impacted by actions from governments and other entities to [removed: curb high inflation,] [added: address macroeconomic challenges,] provisions of the IRA, [removed: inappropriate] expanded utilization of the 340B Program and growth in numbers of Medicaid enrollees and uninsured individuals.
See [removed: Risk Factors in] Part I, Item 1A.
Other revenues increased [added: 15%] for [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] primarily driven by higher [removed: corporate partner revenue from licensed products and] royalty income.
[removed: Operating expenses increased] [added: The decrease in SG&A expense] for [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025 was] driven by [removed: higher] [added: lower Horizon acquisition-related expenses and lower] amortization expense from [removed: Horizon] acquisition-related assets, [removed: higher R&D and SG&A expenses, including expenses from the acquired Horizon business, and] [added: partially offset by] higher [removed: profit share] [added: general] and [removed: royalty expense.][added: administrative expenses.]
In 2025, we achieved several significant regulatory, clinical and operational milestones.
We obtained multiple regulatory approvals, including new indications for UPLIZNA and TEZSPIRE; a broadened FDA approval for Repatha; and full FDA approval for IMDELLTRA for the treatment of ES-SCLC.
We also advanced our innovative pipeline, including the initiation of six global Phase 3 clinical studies for MariTide and the reporting of Phase 3 data across several programs.
In addition, we continued to invest in expanding and enhancing our manufacturing capacity, including facilities in Ohio, North Carolina and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico.
Furthermore, in 2025 we also broke ground on a new state-of-the-art R&D facility in Thousand Oaks, California, to further enhance collaboration and innovation across R&D and process development activities.

*Tariffs and trade protection measures*
Recent and ongoing changes in U.S. trade and tariff policies, including the imposition, modification, suspension and threatened expansion of tariffs on imported goods, as well as retaliatory measures by foreign governments, have increased uncertainty in the overall business and operating environment.
Numerous tariffs and trade protection measures have been proposed, and in a number of cases, implemented by the United States and other countries, including the April 2025 Tariff EO, which imposed a universal 10% tariff on goods imported into the United States, with certain exceptions including pharmaceuticals.
Further, there were previous proposals for sector-specific tariffs on our industry, and in December 2025, in recognition of our capital investments in U.S. manufacturing, we received relief from Section 232 tariffs, pending final determination under such section of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, for approximately the next three years.
Tariffs and trade protection measures may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Risk Factors, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Uncertainty around tariffs and trade protection measures in the United States and other countries, including the imposition, modification, suspension and threatened expansion of tariffs on imported goods, along with ongoing geopolitical conflicts and rising geopolitical tensions, continue to create additional uncertainty in global macroeconomic conditions.
In addition to the IRA, other recent and proposed U.S. policy actions focus on drug pricing, including the Most-Favored-Nations Prescription Drug Pricing Executive Order (MFN EO) and the July MFN Letter that was delivered to a number of pharmaceutical companies, including Amgen.
In December 2025, we announced
that we are taking actions that satisfy the components outlined in the July MFN Letter, including the Administration’s MFN pricing requests.
We also announced the expansion of our direct-to-patient program.
While this development reflects ongoing engagement on pricing policy, the ultimate effects on our pricing, reimbursement, net sales and profitability remain uncertain in light of such evolving regulatory and policy expectations.
For additional discussion of these and other risks, see Part I, Item 1A.

For 2025, we expect sales erosion driven by biosimilar competition.
In addition, going forward, we expect relatively flat volumes with continued declines in net selling price, including the impact from the IRA Medicare Part D price set by CMS beginning in 2026.
The decrease in ENBREL sales for 2023 was driven by lower net selling price, lower inventory and unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions.
For 2025, we expect lower declines in net selling price.
The decrease in global Otezla sales for 2023 was driven by lower net selling price and inventory, partially offset by volume growth.
The decrease in global Aranesp sales for 2023 was driven by unfavorable changes to foreign currency exchange rates and lower net selling price.
U.S. Aranesp sales for 2023 decreased due to lower unit demand as a result of independent and medium-sized dialysis organizations transitioning from Aranesp to EPOGEN.

The increase in SG&A expense for 2023 was primarily driven by acquisition-related expenses, in addition to commercial and general and administrative expenses related to the Horizon acquisition, partially offset by lower spend for other marketed products.
Other operating expenses for 2022 primarily consisted of a loss on the divestiture of Gensenta.
The change in Other income (expense), net, for 2023 was primarily due to gains recognized in connection with recording our BeiGene investment at fair value and an increase in interest income due to higher average cash balances and higher interest rates as compared to the prior year.
Our legal entities in the countries that have enacted the agreement, along with their direct and indirect subsidiaries, are now subject to a 15% minimum tax rate on adjusted financial statement income.
Other countries, including the United States and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, have not yet enacted the OECD agreement and implementation remains highly uncertain.
The continued enactment of the agreement, either by all OECD participants or unilaterally by individual countries, could result in tax increases or double taxation in the United States or foreign jurisdictions.
A 2022 Puerto Rico tax law change replaced the excise tax with an income tax, beginning in 2023.
As of January 1, 2023, we are no longer subject to a 4% excise tax in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico on the gross intercompany purchase price of goods and services from our manufacturer in Puerto Rico.
We qualify for and are subject to the alternative income tax rate on industrial development income of our Puerto Rico affiliate.
In the United States, this income tax qualifies for foreign tax credits under the U.S. Treasury final foreign tax credit regulations.

In August 2025, we announced that the FDA broadened the approved use of Repatha to include adults at increased risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) due to uncontrolled low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), removing the previous requirement that a patient have been diagnosed with cardiovascular (CV) disease.
In November 2025, we announced detailed results from the Phase 3 VESALIUS-CV clinical trial, which showed that Repatha achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in MACEs in high-risk adults without a prior heart attack or stroke, when added to statins or other LDL-C–lowering treatments.
Repatha demonstrated a 25% relative reduction in the risk of a composite of coronary heart disease (CHD) death, heart attack or ischemic stroke (3-P MACE), and a 19% reduction in a broader composite that also included any ischemia-driven arterial revascularization (4-P MACE).
Repatha also reduced the risk of heart attack by 36%.
In a cohort of patients included in a lipid sub-study, the median achieved LDL-C was 45 mg/dL compared to 109 mg/dL in the placebo arm.
No new safety signals were identified, and tolerability was consistent with the current prescribing information in the United States.
In April 2025, we announced the FDA approved UPLIZNA for the treatment of Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) in adult patients.
UPLIZNA is the first and only FDA approved treatment for adults living with IgG4-RD.
In December 2025, we announced the FDA approved UPLIZNA for the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in adults who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and anti-muscle specific tyrosine kinase (MuSK) antibody positive.
In June 2025, we announced interim results from the global Phase 3 DeLLphi-304 trial evaluating IMDELLTRA/IMDYLLTRA in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) who had progressed on or after one line of platinum-based chemotherapy.
The study demonstrated that IMDELLTRA/IMDYLLTRA significantly reduced the risk of death by 40% compared to standard-of-care chemotherapy, with a median overall survival of 13.6 months compared to 8.3 months.
Additionally, IMDELLTRA/IMDYLLTRA showed a statistically significant improvement in median progression-free survival of 4.2 months compared to 3.7 months and enhanced patient-reported outcomes related to cancer-associated symptoms, including dyspnea and cough.
The safety profile of IMDELLTRA/IMDYLLTRA was consistent with prior studies.
In October 2025, we announced that the FDA approved TEZSPIRE as an add-on maintenance treatment of inadequately controlled chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older.
In June 2025, the European Commission granted marketing authorization approval of TEPEZZA for treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe thyroid eye disease (TED).
In March 2025, we announced the initiation of two global Phase 3 studies to evaluate MariTide, a differentiated antibody-peptide conjugate that activates the glucagon like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor and antagonizes the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR), in chronic weight management: one study in adults living with obesity or overweight without Type 2 diabetes and another study in adults living with obesity or overweight with Type 2 diabetes.
In June 2025, the underlying details from Part 1 of the Phase 2 study of MariTide and complete results from the primary analysis of the Phase 1 pharmacokinetics low dose initiation (PK-LDI) study evaluating lower starting doses of MariTide were presented at the American Diabetes Association 85th Scientific Sessions and simultaneously published in *The New England Journal of Medicine*.
In November 2025, we announced that, in addition to the two global Phase 3 studies announced in March 2025, four global Phase 3 studies were underway, with studies in adults living with established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and obesity or overweight; in adults living with heart failure with preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction and obesity; in adults living with obstructive sleep apnea on positive airway pressure therapy and living with obesity or overweight; and in adults living with obstructive sleep apnea not on positive airway pressure therapy and living with obesity or overweight.
In January 2026, we announced that Part 2 of the Phase 2 chronic weight management study, an exploratory evaluation of MariTide treatment for an additional 52 weeks in people who lost at least 15% of their body weight in the 52-week Part 1 of the Phase 2 chronic weight management study, is complete.
Key findings included the following: the large majority of participants maintained the weight loss achieved in Part 1 for an additional 52 weeks on a lower monthly dose or quarterly dose of MariTide; the second year of MariTide treatment was very well tolerated, including at quarterly doses, with a very low incidence of nausea and vomiting and no new safety signals observed; and improvements in cardiometabolic parameters were sustained with MariTide at effective maintenance doses for a full second year.
In January 2026 we also announced that a Phase 2 study of MariTide for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults living with and without obesity has completed the 24-week timepoint.
Key findings included the following: robust and clinically meaningful reduction in both hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and weight with monthly MariTide at 24 weeks, which is in line with results seen in the Type 2 diabetes population in Part 1 of the Phase 2 chronic weight management study, at 24 weeks; safety and tolerability profile consistent with the GLP-1 class, where the most common side effects were gastrointestinal-related, predominantly mild-to-moderate in nature, and occurred primarily during dose escalation; and favorable improvement in cardiometabolic parameters.
*TAVNEOS*
TAVNEOS was approved by the FDA in October 2021 for the adjunctive treatment of adult patients with severe active anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) in combination with standard therapy including glucocorticoids.
TAVNEOS was developed by ChemoCentryx.
Amgen acquired ChemoCentryx in October 2022, after TAVNEOS had been on the market for a year.
On January 16, 2026, the FDA requested that ChemoCentryx voluntarily withdraw TAVNEOS from the U.S. market.
The FDA raised concerns about the process followed by ChemoCentryx to re-adjudicate primary endpoint results for 9 of the 331 patients in its pivotal clinical trial.
Hepatotoxicity, which is a known infrequent risk of TAVNEOS treatment for AAV, was also raised in the context of the benefit-risk profile of the medicine.
Amgen is not aware of any issue with the underlying patient data from the ChemoCentryx clinical trial, and after review of the relevant clinical data and years of real-world evidence, Amgen is confident that TAVNEOS demonstrates effectiveness and a favorable benefit–risk profile.
On January 28, 2026, following FDA regulatory process, Amgen informed the FDA that it did not intend to withdraw TAVNEOS from the market.
Amgen is evaluating next steps with the FDA to determine a path forward, while keeping patient safety, needs and support at the forefront.
In February 2026, we announced that, based upon data from the FORTITUDE-101 and FORTITUDE-102 Phase 3 studies, the Company does not intend to pursue regulatory approval of bemarituzumab in first-line gastric cancer.
In January 2026, we and Kyowa Kirin agreed to terminate the rocatinlimab collaboration agreement and to transition control of the global development and commercialization program to Kyowa Kirin, subject to receipt of clearance under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
In February 2026, we received such regulatory clearance.
In the first quarter of 2026, Kyowa Kirin will assume full responsibility for rocatinlimab worldwide, except that Amgen will continue to manufacture rocatinlimab and perform other transition activities for an agreed upon period of time.
Otezla is also approved in Japan for the treatment of palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP).
We market TEPEZZA for the treatment of TED in multiple countries globally, including the United States, Japan, Brazil, among others.
See Significant Developments for additional information regarding regulatory developments.
In November 2024, we announced positive data at 52 weeks in part 1 of a double-blind, dose-ranging Phase 2 study with MariTide, a differentiated peptide-antibody conjugate subcutaneously administered monthly or less frequently.
In people living with obesity or overweight without type 2 diabetes, MariTide demonstrated up to approximately 20% average weight loss at week 52 without a weight loss plateau.
The study also showed people living with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes achieved up to approximately 17% average weight loss without a weight loss plateau and lowered their average hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) by up to 2.2 percentage points at week 52.
MariTide also demonstrated robust and clinically meaningful improvements in cardiometabolic parameters, including blood pressure, triglycerides and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) across doses.
The most common adverse events (AEs) in part 1 of the Phase 2 study were gastrointestinal (GI) related, including nausea, vomiting and constipation.
The incidence of nausea and vomiting was substantially reduced with dose escalation.
The discontinuation rate in the dose escalation arms due to any AE was approximately 11% and less than 8% for GI-related AEs.
*BLINCYTO*
In June 2024, we announced BLINCYTO received approval from the FDA in frontline consolidation for patients with CD19-positive Philadelphia chromosome-negative B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
In December 2024, we announced new data from a Phase 3 trial demonstrating that adding BLINCYTO to chemotherapy significantly improves disease-free survival (DFS) in newly diagnosed pediatric patients with National Cancer Institute (NCI) standard risk (SR) B-ALL of average or higher risk of relapse.
The study met its primary endpoint of DFS.
Overall, the 3-year DFS was 96.0% for patients treated with chemotherapy plus BLINCYTO compared to 87.9% for those treated with only chemotherapy.
The hazard ratio (HR) was 0.39 \[95% confidence interval (CI) 0.24-0.64\], indicating a 61% reduction in the risk of disease relapse, secondary malignant neoplasm or remission death with BLINCYTO.
At three years, more patients remained alive and cancer free when treated with BLINCYTO plus chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone.
Safety results are consistent with the known safety profile of BLINCYTO.
In September 2024, we announced TEPEZZA was approved for the treatment of active or high clinical activity score (CAS) thyroid eye disease (TED) in Japan.
*UPLIZNA*
In June 2024, we announced positive top-line results from our Phase 3 registrational trial evaluating UPLIZNA for the treatment of Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD).
The trial met its primary endpoint, showing a statistically significant 87% reduction in the risk of IgG4-RD flare compared to placebo during the 52-week placebo-controlled period.
All key secondary endpoints were also met, which were annualized flare rate; flare-free, treatment-free complete remission; and flare-free, corticosteroid-free complete remission.
No new safety signals were identified.
The FDA has accepted our submission under priority review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Action (PDUFA) date of April 3, 2025.
In September 2024, we announced top-line results of the Phase 3 MINT trial of UPLIZNA.
MINT is a Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial assessing the efficacy and safety of UPLIZNA in patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG).
The trial met its primary endpoint, with a statistically significant change from baseline in Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) score for UPLIZNA compared with placebo at week 26 of the combined patient population.
UPLIZNA demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful change from baseline compared to placebo for four out of five key secondary endpoints.
Overall safety results during the placebo-controlled period of the trial were consistent with the known safety profile of UPLIZNA.
In September 2024, we announced top-line results of the Phase 3 ROCKET HORIZON trial of rocatinlimab, an investigational therapy targeting the OX40 receptor and one of eight studies in the rocatinlimab Phase 3 clinical trial program for atopic dermatitis.
HORIZON, a Phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial assessing the efficacy, safety and tolerability of rocatinlimab monotherapy in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, met its co-primary endpoints and reached statistically significant difference from placebo for all key secondary endpoints.
Overall safety findings in the study were comparable to those seen in the Phase 2b study.
Rocatinlimab is being developed in collaboration with Kyowa Kirin.
In November 2024, we announced positive top-line results from the Phase 3 WAYPOINT trial, a double-blind, multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TEZSPIRE in adults with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).
The trial demonstrated patients treated with TEZSPIRE had a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the size of nasal polyps and reduced nasal congestion compared to placebo with safety and tolerability profiles consistent with the known profile of the medicine.
TEZSPIRE is being developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca.
See Patents table below.
*Otezla*
We market TEPEZZA primarily in the United States.
*EVENITY*
Aranesp is also indicated for the treatment of anemia due to concomitant myelosuppressive chemotherapy in certain patients with nonmyeloid malignancies and when chemotherapy will be used for at least two months after starting Aranesp.

See Item 1A.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Amgen Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] and the related notes and [removed: the] financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)2 (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, [removed: 2024] [added: 2025] and [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February [removed: 14, 2025] [added: 13, 2026] expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
| *Description of the Matter* | | | | | | As of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] the Company recorded accrued sales deductions of [removed: $8.4] [added: $10.6] billion. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements under the caption “Product sales and sales deductions,” revenues from product sales are recognized net of accruals for estimated rebates, wholesaler chargebacks, discounts and other deductions (collectively sales deductions), which are established at the time of sale. Auditing the estimation of sales deductions, specifically estimated chargebacks, commercial rebates, and Medicaid rebates related to U.S. product sales, which are netted against product sales, is complex, requires significant judgment, and the amounts involved are material to the financial statements taken as a whole. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of control of a product to a customer, generally upon delivery, and is based on an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, which represents an amount that is net of accruals for estimated sales deductions. The estimated sales deductions are based on current contractual and statutory requirements, market events and trends, internal and external historical data, and forecasted customer buying patterns. | | |
| *Description of the Matter* | | | | | | As discussed in Notes 1 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company operates in various jurisdictions in which differing interpretations of complex tax laws and regulations create uncertainty and necessitate the use of significant judgment in the determination of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits, particularly in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction where the Company has significant assets and operations. In this regard, the Company uses significant judgment in (1) determining whether a tax position’s technical merits are more-likely-than-not to be sustained and (2) measuring the amount of tax benefit that qualifies for recognition. As of December 31, [removed: 2024,] [added: 2025,] the Company accrued [removed: $4.2] [added: $4.4] billion of gross unrecognized tax benefits. Auditing the assessment of the technical merits and measurement of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits is challenging due to the high degree of estimation and management [removed: judgement,] [added: judgment,] given the ultimate resolution is dependent on uncontrollable factors such as the resolution of audit disputes with the IRS and results of the U.S. Tax Court case. | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls over the Company’s process to assess the technical merits of its tax positions, as well as management’s process to measure the unrecognized tax benefits of those tax positions, particularly in regard to matters in dispute with the IRS. This included testing controls over management’s review of the inputs, calculations, assumptions and methods selected to measure the amount of tax benefits that qualify for recognition. We involved tax controversy and transfer pricing [removed: specialists] [added: subject matter professionals] to assist in assessing the technical merits and measurement of certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits. Depending on the nature of the specific tax position and, as applicable, developments with the relevant tax authorities, our procedures included obtaining and reviewing the Company’s correspondence with such tax authorities and evaluating certain third-party advice to support the Company’s evaluations and recorded positions. We evaluated the status of the ongoing U.S. Tax Court case and developments in the applicable regulatory environments to assess potential effects on the Company’s recorded positions. We assessed management’s consideration of current tax controversy, litigation and tax litigation trends. We analyzed the assumptions and data used by the Company when it determined the amount of tax benefits to recognize, including applicable interest and penalties, and we tested the accuracy of those underlying calculations. We have also evaluated the Company’s income tax disclosures included in Note 7 in relation to these matters. | | |

See Note 2, Segment and other information.
Based on our election beginning in 2022, we have established deferred taxes with respect to the U.S. minimum tax on the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries.
In concluding whether we have the ability to exercise significant influence over an investee, we consider factors such as our ownership percentage, voting and other shareholder rights, board of directors representation and the existence of other collaborative or business relationships.
The equity method of accounting requires us to allocate the difference between the fair value of securities acquired and our proportionate share of the carrying value of the underlying assets (the basis difference) to various items and amortize such differences over their useful lives.
Our share of investees’ earnings or losses and amortization of basis differences, if any, are recorded one quarter in arrears in Other income (expense), net, in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
We record impairment losses on our equity method investments if we deem the impairment to be other-than-temporary.
We deem an impairment to be other-than-temporary based on various factors, including, but not limited to, the length of time the fair value is below the carrying value, volatility of the security price and our intent and ability to retain the investment to allow for a recovery in fair value.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and additional interim segment reporting disclosures, including for companies with a single reportable segment.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, other segment items also included expenses related to our restructuring plan that was both initiated and substantially completed in 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, other segment items also included a loss on the divestiture of Gensenta (see Note 4, Acquisitions and divestitures).
Acquisitions and divestitures
The following table summarizes the final total consideration and allocated acquisition date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, inclusive of measurement-period adjustments (in millions):
On October 20, 2022, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of ChemoCentryx, a publicly traded biotechnology company focused on orally administered therapeutics to treat autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders and cancer, for $52.00 per share in cash, representing a total consideration of $3.9 billion.
The acquisition, which was accounted for as a business combination, includes TAVNEOS, an orally administered selective complement 5a receptor inhibitor that was approved by the FDA in October 2021 as an adjunctive therapy for adults with severe active antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis (ANCA-associated vasculitis).
TAVNEOS is commercialized by us in the United States; for markets outside the United States, TAVNEOS is commercialized by a collaboration partner, and Amgen is entitled to royalties and milestones based on future sales of the product.
Upon its acquisition, ChemoCentryx became a wholly owned subsidiary of Amgen, and its operations became included in our consolidated financial statements commencing on the acquisition date.
Measurement-period adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2023, included changes in the purchase price allocation and total consideration, resulting in a net decrease of approximately $18 million to goodwill.
The adjustments did not have a significant impact on Amgen’s results of operations during the year ended December 31, 2023, and would not have had a significant impact on prior-period results if the adjustments had been made as of the acquisition date.

The $3.9 billion total consideration consisted of (i) a $3.7 billion cash payment to outstanding common stockholders of ChemoCentryx and (ii) a $181 million cash payment to equity award holders of ChemoCentryx for services rendered prior to the acquisition date of October 20, 2022, under the ChemoCentryx equity award plans.
