Current report

The Company resubmitted its application seeking FDA approval for filling of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe ("PFS") at Catalent Indiana, where the FDA has recently conducted a site re-inspection. In addition, the FDA did not act by the April 2026 PDUFA date on the Company's regulatory application for a second contract manufacturer for the PFS; therefore, this application remains pending. The Company and both third-party filling manufacturers are working closely with the FDA to resolve all outstanding issues, and the Company anticipates a regulatory decision on one or both applications during the second quarter of 2026.

Current report

In April 2026, we announced agreements with the U.S. government (the "U.S. Government Agreements") pursuant to which we have agreed, among other matters, to provide certain of our products that we wholly own in the United States to the Medicaid program at or below prices benchmarked against a defined group of other developed countries ("Most-Favored-Nation Pricing"). We have also agreed to price certain future medicines in the United States at or below Most-Favored-Nation Pricing; to participate in a direct purchasing platform, TrumpRx.gov, that will allow eligible patients to purchase Praluent directly; and to provide our recently FDA-approved gene therapy Otarmeni™ for free in the United States. The U.S. Government Agreements further provide that Regeneron's products will not face tariffs as a result of the U.S. Department of Commerce's recent investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, through January 2029 so long as the Company continues its commitments to invest in manufacturing and research and development infrastructure in the United States.

Current report

For CNS programs and liver programs, under a Co-Co Collaboration Agreement, the party designated as the lead party will lead development and commercialization of the program and the parties will split profits and share costs equally, subject to certain co-funding opt-outs at specified clinical trial phases or under other conditions.

Current report

In January 2026, our collaboration agreement with Tessera Therapeutics, Inc. to develop and commercialize TSRA-196 (Tessera's investigational program for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency ("AATD")) became effective. Tessera will lead the initial first-in-human trial, while we will lead subsequent global development and commercialization. The parties will share worldwide development expenses and, if commercialized, any future profits or losses equally. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made aggregate payments of $150.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, consisting of an up-front payment and the purchase of Tessera preferred stock. In addition, we are obligated to make additional payments upon achievement of certain development milestones.

Current report

Operating expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $257.4 million and $255.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Current report

Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $135.1 million and $141.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Current report

Acquired IPR&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 primarily related to the premium on equity securities purchased, as well as development milestone and up-front payments, in connection with collaboration and licensing agreements.

Current report

Gross margin on net product sales decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to unabsorbed manufacturing costs and higher inventory write-offs and reserves as a result of a temporary interruption of bulk manufacturing production at our facility in Limerick, Ireland, due to unanticipated facility repairs that commenced during the first quarter of 2026. We resumed initial production at the facility in the second quarter of 2026; however, gross margin will continue to be negatively impacted until production returns to normal levels, which is expected by the end of the second quarter of 2026. The interruption has not impacted, nor is it expected to impact, the availability of any of our products. See Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply -Third-party service or supply failures, or other failures, business interruptions, or other disasters affecting our manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland, the manufacturing facilities of our collaborators or contract manufacturers, or the facilities of any other party participating in the supply chain, could adversely affect our ability to supply our products."

Current report

In April 2026, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to an additional $3.0 billion of our Common Stock. The share repurchase program was approved under terms substantially similar to the share repurchase programs described above.

Previous report

In August 2025, the FDA extended the target action dates for the Company's FDA applications for EYLEA HD (pre-filled syringe, every-four-week dosing, and for the treatment of RVO). The delay resulted from observations from a July 2025 FDA general site inspection (not specific to EYLEA HD) at Catalent Indiana, LLC ("Catalent"), part of Novo Nordisk A/S, the manufacturing filler in the EYLEA HD BLA. The FDA extended the review periods after determining that the information submitted by the manufacturing filler in August 2025 to address the observations constituted a major amendment to each regulatory application.

Previous report

In October 2025, the Company was notified by Catalent that they received an official action indicated ("OAI") letter from the FDA citing unresolved issues related to a July 2025 FDA general site inspection. On October 27, 2025, the FDA issued a CRL for the pre-filled syringe sBLA. The sole approvability issue cited in the CRL relates to unresolved inspection findings at Catalent. The Company is planning to submit by January 2026 an application to include a new pre-filled syringe manufacturing filler in the EYLEA HD BLA.

Previous report

In addition, the Company has submitted an application to include an additional vial filler, should this be needed for approval of every-four-week dosing and RVO label enhancements, with an FDA decision regarding this new vial filler expected by late December 2025.

Previous report

In May 2025, the Company and Sanofi announced that a Phase 3 trial, AERIFY-1, in adults who were former smokers with inadequately controlled COPD met the primary endpoint of significantly reducing moderate or severe acute exacerbations by 27% compared to placebo at week 52, a clinically meaningful benefit. A second Phase 3 trial, AERIFY-2, did not meet the same primary endpoint, although a benefit was seen earlier in the trial. The safety profile of itepekimab observed in the Phase 3 trials was consistent with prior clinical trials. The Company and Sanofi are evaluating next steps.

Previous report

In April 2025, a pre-planned interim analysis was conducted on two ongoing Phase 2/3 studies evaluating the combination of fianlimab and cemiplimab in first-line advanced NSCLC. Due to limited follow-up, the Phase 2 portion of the studies will continue unchanged until additional data are available. The next analyses for these studies are expected in the first half of 2026, at which time a decision whether to advance to Phase 3 is expected to be made. No new safety signals were observed in either study.

Previous report

On July 30, 2025, the FDA issued a CRL for the BLA for odronextamab in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy, which was also impacted by the Catalent Indiana LLC site inspection (as described in the "EYLEA HD" section above).

Previous report

Acquired IPR&D expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a $45.0 million development milestone in connection with our collaboration agreement with Sonoma Biotherapeutics, Inc.

Previous report

Gross margin on net product sales decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, partly due to ongoing investments to support our manufacturing operations. In addition, gross margin on net product sales decreased due to higher amortization expense associated with our Libtayo intangible asset as each quarter we record additions to the intangible asset related to royalties due to Sanofi.

Previous report

Other operating (income) expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 reflected a charge of $37.9 million related to the increase in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability recognized in connection with our 2023 acquisition of Decibel Therapeutics, Inc.

Previous report

On July 4, 2025, bill H.R. 1, commonly referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" or "OBBBA," was signed into law, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others in 2026. The OBBBA significantly revises U.S. corporate income tax laws by, among other things, restoring the option for immediate expense recognition for U.S.-based research and development expenditures and making permanent the ability to claim first-year bonus depreciation on qualified property. The OBBBA also modifies U.S. taxation on foreign earnings by, among other things, changing the tax rates for global intangible low-taxed income (now known as Net CFC Tested Income) and foreign-derived intangible income (now known as foreign-derived deduction eligible income), modifying the allocation of expenses in calculating foreign tax credits, as well as changing foreign tax credit limitations. As a result of the OBBBA being signed into law, we recognized a charge of $44.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 related to the re-measurement of our U.S. net deferred tax assets.

Previous report

The increase in our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, was primarily impacted by the net change in uncertain tax positions, as well as lower tax benefits from less stock option exercises and the enactment of the OBBBA.

Previous wording

Our ability to generate profits and to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next several years depends significantly on the success in commercializing our products, including EYLEA HD and Dupixent. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our research and development activities, and our research and development activities and related costs which are not reimbursed by collaborators are expected to expand and require additional resources. We also expect to incur substantial costs related to the commercialization of our marketed products. Our financial results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and will depend on, among other factors, the net sales of our products; the scope and progress of our research and development efforts; the timing of certain expenses; the continuation of our collaborations, in particular with Sanofi and Bayer, including our share of collaboration profits from sales of commercialized products and the amount of reimbursement of our research and development expenses that we receive from collaborators; and the amount of income tax expense we incur, which is partly dependent on the profits or losses we earn in each of the countries in which we operate. There is uncertainty surrounding whether or when new products or new indications for marketed products will receive regulatory approval or, if any such approval is received, whether we will be able to successfully commercialize such products and whether or when they may become profitable.

Previous wording

Net product sales of EYLEA HD increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, due to higher sales volumes, partly offset by a lower net selling price.

Current wording

Net product sales of EYLEA HD increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, due to higher sales volumes, partly offset by a lower net selling price. In addition, EYLEA HD net product sales were negatively impacted by lower wholesaler inventory levels at the end of the first quarter of 2026 compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.

Previous wording

Net product sales of EYLEA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, were negatively impacted by (i) lower sales volumes as a result of continued competitive pressures (as described below), loss in market share to compounded bevacizumab due to patient affordability constraints, and the continued transition of patients to EYLEA HD, and (ii) a lower net selling price.

Current wording

Net product sales of EYLEA decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, due to (i) lower sales volumes as a result of continued competitive pressures (as described below) and the continued transition of patients to EYLEA HD, and (ii) a lower net selling price.

Previous wording

EYLEA net product sales have been, and are likely to continue to be, negatively impacted by increased competition from other anti-VEGF products, including biosimilars, as well as the transition of patients from EYLEA to EYLEA HD. The magnitude and duration of such impact is presently unknown. For more information, see Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Marketed Products, Product Candidates, and New Indications for Our Marketed Products -We are substantially dependent on the success of EYLEA, EYLEA HD, and Dupixent" and "The commercial success of our products and product candidates is subject to significant competition -Marketed Products." In addition, if independent not-for-profit patient assistance funds that provide copay assistance are unable to support eligible patients, this will likely have a continued negative impact on patient affordability resulting in lower utilization of higher-cost anti-VEGF agents.

Previous wording

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to lower charitable contributions to an independent not-for-profit patient assistance organization. Selling, general, and administrative expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $92.0 million and $83.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $279.0 million and $251.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Current wording

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to an increase in commercialization-related expenses for EYLEA HD and Libtayo and higher headcount and headcount-related costs, partly offset by lower charitable contributions to an independent non-profit patient assistance organization. Selling, general, and administrative expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $89.2 million and $95.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Previous wording

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 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 federal tax credits for research activities, partially offset by the impact of the OBBBA being signed into law. In addition, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was positively impacted by the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions recognized upon the effective settlement of the IRS audit of our 2017 and 2018 federal income tax returns in the second quarter of 2025, which reduced our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 by 1.4%.

Current wording

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 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, federal tax credits for research activities, partly offset by changes in unrecognized tax benefits. In addition, our effective tax rate increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower tax benefits from cross-border tax laws and federal tax credits for research activities.
