The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Regeneron," "Company," "we," "us," and "our") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair statement of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for such periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The December 31, 2023 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments require disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis.

The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect the adoption of the amendments to have a significant impact on its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.

Pursuant to the terms of those agreements, the Company may be required to pay, or it may receive, additional amounts contingent upon the occurrence of various future events (e.g., upon the achievement of various development and commercial milestones), which in the aggregate could be significant.

4. Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding. Net income per share is presented on a combined basis, inclusive of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding, as each class of stock has equivalent economic rights. Diluted net income per share includes the potential dilutive effect of other securities as if such securities were converted or exercised during the period, when the effect is dilutive. The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,

The Company has reviewed its portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities and determined that the decline in fair value below cost did not result from credit-related factors. In addition, the Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, such securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

With respect to marketable securities, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Other income (expense), net were related to realized gains/losses on sales of available-for-sale debt securities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, realized gains/losses on sales of marketable securities were not material.

6. Fair Value Measurements

The table below summarizes the Company's assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities, based on inputs to valuation techniques utilized to measure fair value:

  • Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs, such as quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-based valuations in which significant inputs used are observable

  • Level 3 - Significant other unobservable inputs

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was positively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily by stock-based compensation and income earned in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, partly offset by the remeasurement of existing uncertain tax positions.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was positively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily by income earned in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate and, to a lesser extent, stock-based compensation and federal tax credits for research activities.

9. Stockholders' Equity

In January 2023, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $3.0 billion of the Company's Common Stock. The share repurchase program permits the Company to make repurchases through a variety of methods, including open-market transactions (including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, block trades, and other transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. Repurchases may be made from time to time at management's discretion, and the timing and amount of any such repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The program has no time limit and can be discontinued at any time. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of shares of any repurchases in the future.

In April 2024, the Company's board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to an additional $3.0 billion of the Company's Common Stock. The share repurchase program was approved under terms substantially similar to the share repurchase program described above.

11. Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings in the course of the Company's business. The outcome of any such proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. If the Company were unable to prevail in any such proceedings, its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and future cash flows may be materially impacted. Costs associated with the Company's involvement in legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes accruals for loss contingencies associated with such proceedings when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company's accruals for loss contingencies were not material. There are certain loss contingencies that the Company deems reasonably possible for which the possible loss or range of possible loss is not estimable at this time.

Proceedings Relating to Praluent (alirocumab) Injection

United States

On May 27, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit against Amgen Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that, beginning in 2020, Amgen engaged in an anticompetitive bundling scheme which was designed to exclude Praluent from the market in violation of federal and state laws. The lawsuit seeks damages for harm caused by the alleged scheme, as well as injunctive relief restraining Amgen from continuing its alleged anticompetitive conduct. On August 1 and 11, 2022, Amgen filed a motion to dismiss the complaint and a motion to stay these proceedings, respectively. On February 10, 2023, the court denied Amgen's motion to stay; and on March 21, 2023, the court denied Amgen's motion to dismiss.

Europe

On June 1, 2023, Sanofi filed an action in the Munich Central Division of the Unified Patent Court (the "UPC") seeking revocation of Amgen's European Patent No. 3,666,797 (the "'797 Patent"). The '797 Patent is a divisional patent of European Patent No. 2,215,124 (the "'124 Patent") (i.e., a patent that shares the same priority date, disclosure, and patent term of the parent '124 Patent), which was previously invalidated by Technical Board of Appeal (the "TBA") of the European Patent Office (the "EPO"). A trial on the revocation action before the Munich Central Division of the UPC was held on June 4, 2024. On July 16, 2024, the Munich Central Division of the UPC issued a decision revoking the '797 Patent in its entirety.

Also on June 1, 2023, Amgen filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain of Sanofi's affiliated entities in the Munich Local Division of the UPC alleging infringement of the '797 Patent. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, a permanent injunction in several countries in Europe and monetary damages. On July 29, 2024, the Munich Local Division of the UPC ordered a stay of the infringement lawsuit in light of the decision of the Munich Central Division of the UPC to revoke the '797 Patent in its entirety (discussed above).

Proceedings Relating to EYLEA (aflibercept) Injection Pre-filled Syringe

On June 19, 2020, Novartis Pharma AG, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, and Novartis Technology LLC (collectively, "Novartis") filed a patent infringement lawsuit (as amended on August 2, 2021) in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York asserting claims of Novartis's U.S. Patent No. 9,220,631 (the "'631 Patent") and seeking preliminary and permanent injunctions to prevent the Company from continuing to infringe the '631 Patent. Novartis also seeks a judgment of patent infringement of the '631 Patent, monetary damages (together with interest), an order of willful infringement of the '631 Patent (which would allow the court in its discretion to award damages up to three times the amount assessed), costs and expenses of the lawsuits, and attorneys' fees. On November 7, 2022, the Company and Novartis entered into a stipulation staying the lawsuit in light of the decision in the IPR proceeding discussed below.

On July 16, 2020, the Company initiated two IPR petitions in the USPTO seeking a declaration of invalidity of the '631 Patent on two separate grounds. On October 26, 2021, the USPTO issued a decision instituting the IPR proceeding. An oral hearing was held on July 21, 2022.

On February 22, 2021, Novartis filed, and Vetter moved to join, a motion to dismiss the amended complaint.

("Allele") filed a lawsuit (as amended on April 8, 2021 and December 12, 2022) against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, asserting infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,221,221 (the "'221 Patent"). Allele seeks a judgment of patent infringement of the '221 Patent, an award of monetary damages (together with interest), an order of willful infringement of the '221 Patent (which

would allow the court in its discretion to award damages up to three times the amount assessed), costs and expenses of the lawsuit, and attorneys' fees. On July 16, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which motion was denied on March 2, 2022. On September 18, 2023, the parties entered into a stipulation that narrowed the case to (i) whether any safe harbor defense under federal law applies to Regeneron's use of the invention covered, based on the court's claim construction, by the '221 Patent; (ii) damages for any use by Regeneron found to not be covered by such safe harbor defense; and (iii) whether any use referred to in clause (ii) above was willful.

Department of Justice Matters

In January 2017, the Company received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts requesting documents relating to its support of 501(c)(3) organizations that provide financial assistance to patients; documents concerning its provision of financial assistance to patients with respect to products sold or developed by Regeneron (including EYLEA, Praluent, ARCALYST®, and ZALTRAP®); and certain other related documents and communications. On June 24, 2020, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, and asserting causes of action under the federal False Claims Act and state law (the "June 2020 Civil Complaint"). On August 24, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the June 2020 Civil Complaint in its entirety. On December 4, 2020, the court denied the motion to dismiss. On December 28, 2022, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts filed a motion for partial summary judgment. On January 31, 2023, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment. An oral hearing on the parties' respective motions for summary judgment was held on July 21, 2023. On September 27, 2023, the court (i) denied in part and granted in part the Company's motion for summary judgment and (ii) denied in its entirety the motion for partial summary judgment filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts. On October 25, 2023, the court certified for interlocutory appeal a portion of the court's September 27, 2023 order that addressed the causation standard applicable to the alleged violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute and federal False Claims Act; and on December 11, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit certified for appeal (i.e., accepted for review) the court's September 27, 2023 order. An oral hearing concerning the appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit was held on July 22, 2024.

In September 2019, the Company and Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, each received a civil investigative demand ("CID") from the U.S. Department of Justice pursuant to the federal False Claims Act relating to remuneration paid to physicians in the form of consulting fees, advisory boards, speaker fees, and payment or reimbursement for travel and entertainment allegedly in violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. The CIDs relate to EYLEA, Praluent, Dupixent, ZALTRAP, ARCALYST, and Kevzara and cover the period from January 2015 to the present. On June 3, 2021, the United States District Court for the Central District of California unsealed a qui tam complaint filed against the Company, Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc., and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC by two qui tam plaintiffs (known as relators) purportedly on behalf of the United States and various states (the "State Plaintiffs"), asserting causes of action under the federal False Claims Act and state law. Also on June 3, 2021, the United States and the State Plaintiffs notified the court of their decision to decline to intervene in the case. On October 29, 2021, the qui tam plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in this matter. On January 14, 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint in its entirety. On July 25, 2023, the court in part granted and in part denied the Company's motion to dismiss. On September 1, 2023, the Company filed a second motion to dismiss the amended complaint or, in the alternative, a motion for judgment on the pleadings. A trial has been scheduled for April 2025.

In June 2021, the Company received a CID from the U.S. Department of Justice pursuant to the federal False Claims Act. The CID states that the investigation concerns allegations that the Company (i) violated the False Claims Act by paying kickbacks to distributors and ophthalmology practices to induce purchase of EYLEA, including through discounts, rebates, credit card fees, free units of EYLEA, and inventory management systems; and (ii) inflated reimbursement rates for EYLEA by excluding applicable discounts, rebates, and benefits from the average sales price reported to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The CID covers the period from January 2011 through June 2021. On November 29, 2023, the U.S. Department of Justice informed the Company that it had filed a notice of partial intervention in this matter. On March 28, 2024, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts filed a civil complaint intervention (the "March 2024 Civil Complaint") in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts asserting causes of action under the federal False Claims Act and a claim for unjust enrichment. Also on March 28, 2024, the U.S. District Court of the District of Massachusetts unsealed a qui tam complaint against the Company, AmerisourceBergen, and Besse Medical by two qui tam plaintiffs (known as relators) purportedly on behalf of the United States and various states and municipalities, asserting causes of action under the federal False Claims Act and state and local laws, and alleging violations of the federal Anti-Kickback statute. On June 25, 2024, the States of Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington filed a civil complaint in partial intervention (the "June 2024 Civil Complaint") in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts asserting causes of action under various states laws. On July 18, 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the March 2024 Civil Complaint and the June 2024 Civil Complaint.

The subpoena covers the period from January 1, 2014 through August 1, 2021. The Company is cooperating with this investigation.

Proceedings Initiated by Other Payors

The Company is party to several lawsuits relating to the conduct alleged in the June 2020 Civil Complaint discussed under "Department of Justice Matters" above. These lawsuits were filed by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company and United Healthcare Services, Inc. (collectively, "UHC") and Humana Inc. ("Humana") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on December 17, 2020 and July 22, 2021, respectively; and by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Inc. and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Massachusetts HMO Blue, Inc. (collectively, "BCBS"), Medical Mutual of Ohio ("MMO"), Horizon Healthcare Services, Inc. d/b/a Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey ("Horizon"), and Local 464A United Food and Commercial Workers Union Welfare Service Benefit Fund ("Local 464A") in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts on December 20, 2021, February 23, 2022, April 4, 2022, and June 17, 2022, respectively. These lawsuits allege causes of action under state law and the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act ("RICO") and seek monetary damages and equitable relief. The MMO and Local 464A lawsuits are putative class action lawsuits. On December 29, 2021, the lawsuits filed by UHC and Humana were stayed by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York pending resolution of the proceedings before the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts concerning the allegations in the June 2020 Civil Complaint. On September 27, 2022, the lawsuits filed by BCBS, MMO, and Horizon were stayed by the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts pending resolution of the proceedings before the same court concerning the allegations in the June 2020 Civil Complaint; and, in light of these stays, the parties to the Local 464A action have also agreed to stay that matter.

On June 24, 2024, a group of plaintiffs purporting to be assignees of claims by various Medicare Advantage plans and related entities filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of Medicare Advantage plans and other payors. The lawsuit relates to the conduct alleged in the June 2020 Civil Complaint, March 2024 Civil Complaint, and June 2024 Civil Complaint discussed under "Department of Justice Matters" above. The lawsuit alleges causes of action under state law and RICO and seeks monetary damages and equitable relief.

Proceedings Relating to Shareholder Derivative Complaint

On June 29, 2021, an alleged shareholder filed a shareholder derivative complaint in the New York Supreme Court, naming the current and certain former members of the Company's board of directors and certain current and former executive officers of the Company as defendants and Regeneron as a nominal defendant. The complaint asserts that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in relation to the allegations in the June 2020 Civil Complaint discussed under "Department of Justice Matters" above. The complaint seeks an award of damages allegedly sustained by the Company; an order requiring Regeneron to take all necessary actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures; disgorgement from the individual defendants of all profits and benefits obtained by them resulting from their sales of Regeneron stock; and costs and disbursements of the action, including attorneys' fees. On July 28, 2021, the defendants filed a notice of removal, removing the case from the New York Supreme Court to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 23, 2021, the plaintiff moved to remand the case to the New York Supreme Court. Also on September 23, 2021, the individual defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. On December 19, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied the plaintiff's motion to remand the case and granted a motion to stay the case pending resolution of the proceedings before the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts concerning the allegations in the June 2020 Civil Complaint. As a result of the stay, the court also terminated the Company's motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice. The Company can therefore renew the motion to dismiss upon conclusion of the stay.
