Current report

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 85 th Scientific Sessions and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine. These data are consistent with the topline results from Part 1 of the Phase 2 study as previously announced and presented by the Company in November 2024. See Part I, Item 1. Business—Significant Developments, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

In Part 1 of the Phase 2 study, among participants living with obesity without type 2 diabetes, MariTide demonstrated average weight loss up to approximately 20% compared to 2.6% in the placebo arm. In participants living with obesity and type 2 diabetes, MariTide demonstrated average weight loss up to approximately 17% compared to 1.4% in the placebo arm, per the efficacy estimand. Weight loss had not plateaued by 52 weeks, indicating the potential for further weight reduction. Additionally, weight loss with MariTide was associated with improvements in cardiometabolic parameters, including reductions in hemoglobin A1c (up to 2.2 percentage points), waist circumference, blood pressure, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and select lipid levels.

Current report

No new safety signals were identified in Part 1 of the Phase 2 study, and tolerability was consistent with the GLP-1 class. The most frequently reported adverse events (AEs) were gastrointestinal (GI) related, and most were mild to moderate. GI events were predominantly limited to initial dosing and less frequent when dose escalation was used without compromising efficacy. Discontinuation rates of MariTide due to GI AEs in the dose escalation arms (up to 7.8%) were lower than non-dose escalation arms.

Current report

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.

Current report

In June 2025, Amgen announced interim results from the Phase 3 FORTITUDE-101 clinical trial evaluating first-line bemarituzumab plus chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6). The study met its primary endpoint of overall survival (OS) at a pre-specified interim analysis, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in OS as compared to placebo plus chemotherapy in people living with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer with FGFR2b overexpression and who are non-HER2 positive. The most common treatment-emergent adverse events (>25%) in patients treated with bemarituzumab plus chemotherapy were reduced visual acuity, punctate keratitis, anaemia, neutropenia, nausea, corneal epithelium defect and dry eye.

Current report

In June 2025, the European Commission granted marketing authorization approval of TEPEZZA for treatment of adults with moderate to severe thyroid eye disease (TED).

Current report

Other revenues increased 18% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by higher corporate partner revenue from licensed products. Other revenues increased 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

The decrease in ENBREL sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by lower net selling price of 27% resulting from increased 340B Program mix, higher commercial discounts and the impact of the U.S. Medicare Part D redesign, and by unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions of 8%, partially offset by higher inventory of 6% and volume growth of 4%.

Current report

The decrease in global XGEVA sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by lower volume.

Current report

The increases in global Otezla sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were driven by favorable changes to estimated sales deductions of 12% and 7%, respectively, and volume growth of 4% for both periods.

Current report

Global KYPROLIS sales remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

Global Aranesp sales remained relatively unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Current report

The increase in KRYSTEXXA sales was 19% for the three months ended June 30, 2025, of which 12% was derived from higher inventory and 6% from volume growth.

Current report

The increase in KRYSTEXXA sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was driven by volume growth of 8% and higher inventory of 2%.

Current report

(1)U.S. AMJEVITA product sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, included unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions.

Current report

The increase in R&D expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was driven by investments in Later-Stage Clinical Programs, including those related to MariTide.

Current report

The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily due to the change in earnings mix, including lower amortization expense from the fair value step-up of inventory acquired from Horizon, and current year net unfavorable items as compared to the prior period. The decrease in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily due to the change in earnings mix, including the Otezla impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of 2025, and current year net favorable items as compared to the prior period, partially offset by the net unrealized gains in the first half of 2025 compared to net unrealized losses in the prior period on equity investments. See Note 6, Investments, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Current report

On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA has various provisions, including the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Tax Act, and modifications to the international tax framework. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2026 and beyond. The impact of these changes on our deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recorded in the third quarter of 2025.

Previous report

In March 2025, we announced the initiation of two Phase 3 studies to evaluate MariTide, a differentiated peptide-antibody conjugate subcutaneously administered monthly or less frequently, 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.

Previous report

In March 2025, we announced results from the ongoing ROCKET Phase 3 clinical trial program evaluating rocatinlimab, an investigational T-cell rebalancing therapy targeting the OX40 receptor, in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). The IGNITE study, which evaluated two dose strengths of rocatinlimab, met its co-primary endpoints and all key secondary endpoints, achieving statistical significance for both rocatinlimab dose strengths versus placebo. The SHUTTLE study, which evaluated two dose strengths of rocatinlimab in combination with topical corticosteroids (TCS) and/or topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCI) using the same co-primary endpoints as IGNITE, met its co-primary endpoints and all key secondary endpoints. Lastly, the VOYAGER study successfully demonstrated that rocatinlimab does not interfere with responses to tetanus and meningococcal vaccinations.

Previous report

Across ROCKET program results to date, safety findings were generally consistent with the safety profile of rocatinlimab previously observed. The most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events (≥5%) with higher observed proportion in rocatinlimab groups were pyrexia, chills and headache. A higher number of patients receiving rocatinlimab compared with placebo experienced gastrointestinal ulceration events, with an overall incidence of less than 1%.

Previous report

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.

Previous report

Other revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by lower corporate partner revenue.

Previous report

KRYSTEXXA sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 remained relatively unchanged as volume growth of 11% was offset by lower inventory of 10%.

Previous wording

The imposition of tariffs and trade protection measures by the United States and other countries, including the universal 10% tariff on goods imported into the United States, the currently-suspended country-specific tariffs, the China retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, the imposition of new and/or other retaliatory tariffs, and potential sector-specific tariffs on our industry and others, may adversely affect our business and operations. While existing tariffs have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the first quarter of 2025, we are currently evaluating the potential impact of such tariffs on our business in future periods and our ability to mitigate such impacts. For example, the tariffs that are currently in effect, or anticipated to take effect in the future, will increase our manufacturing and operating expenses in future quarters, including the cost to deliver products to markets, cost of sourcing materials for the manufacturing of our products and cost of materials used in our research and development activities. Such tariffs may also adversely affect the cost to expand our manufacturing capacity in the United States, including increased construction costs and/or delays in construction for our Ohio and North Carolina facilities. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries may adversely affect our business, operations and delivery and launches of products in such markets, including the performance of our collaborations in such markets. However, the degree of adverse effects of any tariffs on our business and operations in future periods will depend on various factors, including the rates of such tariffs, the expansion of such tariffs to include certain goods such as pharmaceutical products, the magnitude of response by other countries to U.S. tariffs and the length of time such tariffs are in effect. For additional information, see Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors—Global economic conditions may negatively affect us and may magnify certain risks that affect our business.

Current wording

The imposition of tariffs and trade protection measures by the United States and other countries, including the universal 10% tariff on goods imported into the United States, the currently-suspended country-specific tariffs, the recently announced preliminary tariff agreements, the China retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods, the imposition of new and/or other retaliatory tariffs, and potential sector-specific tariffs on our industry, including the Section 232 pharmaceutical tariff, and others, may adversely affect our business and operations. While existing tariffs have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the first half of 2025, we are currently evaluating the potential impact of such tariffs on our business in future periods and our ability to mitigate such impacts. For example, certain tariffs that are currently in effect, or anticipated to take effect in the future, have increased, and are expected to further increase, our manufacturing and operating expenses in future quarters, including the cost to deliver products to markets, cost of sourcing materials for the manufacturing of our products and cost of materials used in our R&D activities. Such tariffs have had a limited impact in the first half of 2025, but may increasingly affect the cost to expand our manufacturing capacity in the United States, including increased construction costs and/or delays in construction for our Ohio and North Carolina facilities. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs imposed by other countries may adversely affect our business, operations and delivery and launches of products in such markets, including the performance of our collaborations in such markets. However, the degree of adverse effects from any tariffs on our business and operations in future periods will depend on various factors, including the rates of such tariffs, the expansion of such tariffs to include certain goods (such as pharmaceutical products), the magnitude of response by other countries to U.S. tariffs and the length of time such tariffs are in effect. For additional discussion of these and other risks, see Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous wording

Uncertain macroeconomic conditions, including the risk of inflation, fluctuating interest rates and instability in the financial system, as well as rising healthcare costs, continue to pose challenges to our business. Further, uncertainty around tariffs and trade protection measures in the United States and other countries, including the imposition of new or retaliatory tariffs, along with ongoing geopolitical conflicts, continue to create additional uncertainty in global macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, with public and private healthcare-provider focus, the industry continues to be subject to cost containment measures and significant pricing pressures, resulting in net price declines. Moreover, provisions of the IRA, as well as the 340B Program, have affected, and are likely to continue to affect, our business. For example, ENBREL and Otezla have been selected by CMS for Medicare price setting beginning in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Finally, wholesale and end-user buying patterns can affect our product sales. These buying patterns can cause fluctuations in quarterly product sales, but have generally not been significant to date when comparing full-year product performance to the prior year. See Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
