AMGEN REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (November 3, 2022) - Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022. Key results include:
•Total revenues decreased 1% to $6.7 billion in comparison to the third quarter of 2021, resulting from a 1% decline in global product sales, which reflected 8% volume growth offset primarily by 5% lower net selling price and 2% negative impact from foreign exchange. Excluding the 2% negative impact of foreign exchange on product sales, total revenues increased 2%.
◦Volumes grew double-digits for a number of products including LUMAKRAS®/LUMYKRAS™ (sotorasib), Repatha® (evolocumab), EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg), Parsabiv® (etelcalcetide), and Vectibix® (panitumumab).
•GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased from $3.31 to $3.98 driven by a decrease in operating expenses due to a $0.4 billion licensing-related upfront payment to Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (KKC) in Q3 2021 and lower weighted-average shares outstanding in Q3 2022.
◦GAAP operating income increased from $2.4 billion to $2.7 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 5.0 percentage points to 42.6%.
•Non-GAAP EPS increased from $4.08 to $4.70 driven by a decrease in operating expenses due to a $0.4 billion licensing-related upfront payment to KKC in Q3 2021 and lower weighted-average shares outstanding in Q3 2022.
◦Non-GAAP operating income increased from $3.1 billion to $3.3 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin increased 4.2 percentage points to 52.5%.
•The Company generated $2.8 billion of free cash flow for the third quarter versus $2.2 billion in the third quarter of 2021.
•2022 total revenues guidance revised to $26.0-$26.3 billion; EPS guidance revised to $11.46-$12.17 on a GAAP basis, and $17.25-$17.85 on a non-GAAP basis.

"Our medicines generated 8% volume growth in the quarter globally, with 11 products achieving record quarterly sales," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer. "This growth reflects the strong underlying demand for our medicines and the value they bring to patients."

Non-GAAP EPS has been recast due to an update to our non-GAAP policy effective January 1, 2022, resulting in a $0.59 reduction of previously-reported non-GAAP EPS for the third quarter of 2021. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further discussion.

References in this release to “non-GAAP” measures, measures presented “on a non-GAAP basis,” “free cash flow” (computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow) and "total revenues adjusted for foreign currency impact" (computed by converting our current period local currency product sales using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing that to our current period product sales) refer to non-GAAP financial measures. Beginning January 1, 2022, the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures no longer exclude adjustments for upfront license fees, development milestones and IPR&D expenses of pre-approval programs related to licensing, collaboration and asset acquisition transactions. For purposes of comparability, the non-GAAP financial results for the third quarter of 2021 have been updated to reflect this change. Adjustments to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and other items are presented on the attached reconciliations. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for further discussion.

Product Sales Performance

Total product sales decreased 1% for the third quarter of 2022 versus the third quarter of 2021. Unit volumes grew 8% but were more than offset by 5% lower net selling price, 2% negative impact from foreign exchange, 1% lower inventory levels and 1% unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions.

General Medicine

•Prolia® sales increased 7% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by 8% volume growth.

•EVENITY® sales increased 35% year-over-year to a record $201 million for the third quarter, driven by strong volume growth across our markets. U.S. volumes grew 45% year-over-year and volumes outside the U.S. grew 30%.

•Repatha® sales increased 14% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by 52% volume growth, partially offset by lower net selling price. In the U.S., sales grew 2%, driven by 32% volume growth, offset by lower net selling price resulting from higher rebates to support and expand access for patients. Outside the U.S., sales grew 26%, driven by 73% volume growth partially offset by lower net selling price; this volume growth and lower net selling price were both impacted by the inclusion of Repatha on China's National Reimbursement Drug List as of January 1, 2022. Repatha remains the global proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) segment leader, with over 1.2 million patients treated since launch.

•Aimovig® (erenumab-aooe) sales increased 35% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by favorable changes to estimated sales deductions and higher net selling price, partially offset by a 7% decline in volume.

Inflammation

•TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab-ekko) generated $55 million of sales in the third quarter, driven by continued strong adoption in the U.S. by both allergists and pulmonologists across patients with all types of severe asthma. Healthcare providers acknowledge TEZSPIRE’s unique, differentiated profile and its broad potential to treat the 2.5 million patients worldwide with severe asthma who are uncontrolled, without any phenotypic and biomarker limitation.

•Otezla® (apremilast) sales increased 3% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by 9% volume growth, partially offset by lower inventory levels and unfavorable foreign exchange impact. We expect continued volume growth given Otezla's unique, broad indication to treat patients suffering from mild, moderate or severe psoriasis.

•Enbrel® (etanercept) sales decreased 14% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by lower net selling price, a 5% decline from unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions, and a 3% decline in volume. The 5% unfavorable impact of changes to estimated sales deductions results from a $114 million favorable adjustment in the third quarter of 2021, more than offsetting a $47 million favorable adjustment in this quarter. Going forward, we expect net selling price to continue to decline year-over-year, driven by increased competition.

•AMGEVITA™ (adalimumab) sales increased 5% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by 27% volume growth, partially offset by foreign exchange impact and lower net selling price resulting from increased competition. AMGEVITA continued to be the most prescribed adalimumab biosimilar in Europe.

Hematology-Oncology

•LUMAKRAS®/LUMYKRAS™ (sotorasib) generated $75 million of sales for the third quarter, driven by volume growth. Quarter-over-quarter sales declined 3% driven by lower net selling price due to an unfavorable price adjustment resulting from a reimbursement approval in Germany, partially offset by 15% volume growth. In the U.S., LUMAKRAS has been prescribed to over 3,700 patients by over 2,200 physicians in both academic and community settings. Outside the U.S., LUMYKRAS has now been approved in over 45 countries around the world. We are actively launching in 30 markets and pursuing reimbursement in the remaining countries.

•KYPROLIS® (carfilzomib) sales increased 9% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by 11% volume growth.

•XGEVA® (denosumab) sales decreased 4% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by a 3% decline in volume, lower inventory levels, and unfavorable foreign exchange impact, partially offset by higher net selling price.

•Vectibix® (panitumumab) sales increased 24% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by volume growth. In the third quarter, volume growth benefited from the timing of shipments to Takeda, our partner in Japan.

•Nplate® (romiplostim) sales increased 5% year-over-year for the third quarter, primarily driven by 12% volume growth, partially offset by unfavorable changes to estimated sales deductions. In the third quarter, volume growth benefited from increased shipments to KKC, our partner in Japan.

•BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab) sales increased 14% year-over-year for the third quarter, driven by volume growth.

•MVASI® sales decreased 24% year-over-year for the third quarter, primarily driven by lower net selling price. The most recently published Average Selling Price (ASP) for MVASI in the U.S. declined 37% year-over-year and 12% quarter-over-quarter. Looking forward, we expect continued net selling price erosion and declining volume driven by increased competition and continued ASP erosion.

•KANJINTI® (trastuzumab-anns) sales decreased 38% year-over-year for the third quarter, primarily driven by lower net selling price and decline in volume, partially offset by favorable changes to estimated sales deductions. The most recently published ASP for KANJINTI in the U.S. declined 38% year-over-year and 11% quarter-over-quarter. Going forward, we expect continued net selling price deterioration and volume declines driven by increased competition and continued ASP erosion.

Established Products

•Total sales of our established products, which include Neulasta® (pegfilgrastim), NEUPOGEN® (filgrastim), EPOGEN® (epoetin alfa), Aranesp® (darbepotein alfa), Parsabiv® (etelcalcetide), and Sensipar®/Mimpara™ (cinacalcet), decreased 17% year-over-year for the third quarter, primarily driven by lower net selling price and lower inventory levels. In the third quarter, the published ASP for Neulasta in the U.S. declined 24% year-over-year and 7% quarter-over-quarter. In the aggregate, we expect the year-over-year net selling price and volume erosion for this portfolio of products to continue.

Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis
On a GAAP basis:
•Total Operating Expenses decreased 8%. Cost of Sales margin remained flat. Research & Development (R&D) expenses decreased 22% primarily due to a $400 million licensing-related upfront payment to KKC in 2021. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 1%.
•Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales increased 5.0 percentage points to 42.6%.
•Tax Rate decreased 2.2 percentage points primarily due to the prior year nondeductible Acquired In-Process Research & Development (Acquired IPR&D) expense arising from the acquisition of Five Prime Therapeutics and net favorable items, partially offset by a nondeductible loss from a nonstrategic divestiture.



AMGEN REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Page 6
On a non-GAAP basis:
•Total Operating Expenses decreased 8%. Cost of Sales margin increased 0.3 percentage points driven by changes in product mix, partially offset by lower manufacturing cost and lower costs associated with COVID-19 antibody shipments. R&D expenses decreased 22% primarily due to a $400 million licensing-related upfront payment to KKC in 2021. Without the one-time KKC upfront payment, R&D expenses increased 10% primarily due to higher late-stage program support and research and early pipeline spend, partially offset by lower marketed product support. SG&A expenses increased 1%.
•Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales increased 4.2 percentage points to 52.5%.
•Tax Rate decreased 0.4 percentage points primarily due to net favorable items during the quarter as compared to the prior year.

Oncology

LUMAKRAS/LUMYKRAS
•In August, data were presented demonstrating that
◦in a mostly pretreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) population, lead-in cohorts treated with LUMAKRAS followed by a combination of LUMAKRAS and immunotherapy demonstrated durable clinical activity with lower rates of grade 3-4 Treatment-Related Adverse Events (TRAEs) compared to concurrently treated cohorts. Dose expansion is ongoing in treatment-naïve patients using lower-dose LUMAKRAS lead-in followed by combination of LUMAKRAS with pembrolizumab.
◦LUMAKRAS given in combination with Src homology region 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) inhibitor RMC-4630 demonstrated promising clinical activity in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC, most notably in KRAS G12C inhibitor-naïve patients.
•In September, data were presented demonstrating that
◦in the global Phase 3 CodeBreaK 200 trial, LUMAKRAS treatment led to increased progression-free survival (PFS) (primary endpoint) and a significantly higher objective response rate (ORR) (key secondary endpoint) in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC compared with intravenous chemotherapy docetaxel. Patient-reported outcomes (a key secondary endpoint) also favored LUMAKRAS versus docetaxel.
◦in the Phase 1b CodeBreaK 101 study, LUMAKRAS combined with Vectibix demonstrated encouraging efficacy and safety in patients with chemo-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). This combination delivered a 30% ORR with a median PFS of 5.7 months. With a median follow up of 8.8 months, median overall survival (OS) was not yet reached. A Phase 3 trial continues to enroll using this combination.

BLINCYTO
•Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group and the American College of Radiology Imaging Network (ECOG-ACRIN) Cancer Research Group announced that a National Cancer Institute sponsored, registration enabling BLINCYTO randomized controlled trial (E1910) in adults with newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome negative B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, met the primary endpoint of statistically significant improvement in OS at a predefined interim analysis. This study investigated the addition of BLINCYTO to standard of care chemotherapy. Data were submitted to a medical congress taking place later this year and will be submitted to regulatory authorities in due course.

Vectibix
•American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines in the U.S. and European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines in Europe were updated to indicate anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies are preferred treatment over bevacizumab in patients with RAS wild type (RAS/BRAF wild type by ESMO) metastatic CRC and left-sided tumors. These updates were based on the Vectibix PARADIGM study that was presented at ASCO, where data demonstrated that the mFOLFOX6 + Vectibix combination provides a statistically significant improvement in OS over the mFOLFOX6 + bevacizumab combination as first-line treatment for metastatic CRC patients with a left-sided primary tumor and in the overall population.

Bemarituzumab
•FORTITUDE-101, a Phase 3 study of bemarituzumab a fibroblast growth factor receptor 2b (FGFR2b) targeting monoclonal antibody, plus chemotherapy, versus placebo plus chemotherapy in first-line gastric cancer with FGFR2b overexpression continues to enroll patients.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this news release, management has presented its operating results for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, management has presented its full year 2022 EPS and tax guidance in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are computed by excluding certain items related to acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring and certain other items from the related GAAP financial measures. Beginning January 1, 2022, following industry guidance from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company no longer excludes adjustments for upfront license fees, development milestones and IPR&D expenses of pre-approval programs related to licensing, collaboration and asset acquisition transactions from its non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of comparability, the non-GAAP financial results for the third quarter of 2021 have been updated to reflect this change. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the news release. Management has presented Free Cash Flow (FCF), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the third quarters of 2022 and 2021. FCF is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Management has also presented Total Revenues Adjusted for Foreign Currency Impact, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the third quarter of 2022. Total Revenues Adjusted for Foreign Currency Impact is computed by converting our current period local currency product sales using the prior period foreign currency exchange rates and comparing that to our current period product sales.
The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the financial performance and prospects for the future of the Company’s ongoing business activities by facilitating comparisons of results of ongoing business operations among current, past and future periods. The Company believes that FCF provides a further measure of the Company’s liquidity. Further, the Company believes Total Revenues Adjusted for Foreign Currency Impact provides supplementary information on the Company's product sales performance by excluding changes in foreign currency exchange rates between comparative periods.
The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth in the news release in connection with its own budgeting and financial planning internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. The non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Amgen. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any statements on the outcome, benefits and synergies of collaborations, or potential collaborations, with any other company (including BeiGene, Ltd., Kyowa-Kirin Co., Ltd., Generate Biomedicines, Inc., Arrakis Therapeutics, Inc., Plexium, Inc., or any collaboration to manufacture therapeutic antibodies against COVID-19), the performance of Otezla® (apremilast) (including anticipated Otezla sales growth and the timing of non-GAAP EPS accretion), the Five Prime Therapeutics, Inc. acquisition, the Teneobio, Inc. acquisition, or the ChemoCentryx, Inc. acquisition as well as estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial metrics, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, reimbursement activities and outcomes, effects of pandemics or other widespread health problems such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business, outcomes, progress, and other such estimates and results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission reports filed by Amgen, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Unless otherwise noted, Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Our results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products including biosimilars, difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products and global economic conditions. In addition, sales of our products are affected by pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny and reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products, including our devices, after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. In addition, our business may be impacted by the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional tax liabilities. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors, or we may fail to prevail in present and future intellectual property litigation. We perform a substantial amount of our commercial manufacturing activities at a few key facilities, including in Puerto Rico, and also depend on third parties for a portion of our manufacturing activities, and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. An outbreak of disease or similar public health threat, such as COVID-19, and the public and governmental effort to mitigate against the spread of such disease, could have a significant adverse effect on the supply of materials for our manufacturing activities, the distribution of our products, the commercialization of our product candidates, and our clinical trial operations, and any such events may have a material adverse effect on our product development, product sales, business and results of operations. We rely on collaborations with third parties for the development of some of our product candidates and for the commercialization and sales of some of our commercial products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to many of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing

product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Certain of our distributors, customers and payers have substantial purchasing leverage in their dealings with us. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations. Our efforts to collaborate with or acquire other companies, products or technology, and to integrate the operations of companies or to support the products or technology we have acquired, may not be successful. A breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach of our information technology systems could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and our data. Our stock price is volatile and may be affected by a number of events. Our business and operations may be negatively affected by the failure, or perceived failure, of achieving our environmental, social and governance objectives. The effects of global climate change and related natural disasters could negatively affect our business and operations. Global economic conditions may magnify certain risks that affect our business. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock. We may not be able to access the capital and credit markets on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

Diluted EPS$9.11 $13.59 $6.93 $9.53 

(a)The adjustments related primarily to noncash amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions.
(b)For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the adjustments related primarily to an impairment-related charge associated with an intangible asset acquired in a business combination. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the adjustments related primarily to cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments from a nonstrategic divestiture. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the adjustments related primarily to the change in fair values of contingent consideration liabilities.
(c)The tax effect of the adjustments between our GAAP and non-GAAP results takes into account the tax treatment and related tax rate(s) that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction(s). Generally, this results in a tax impact at the U.S. marginal tax rate for certain adjustments, including the majority of amortization of intangible assets, whereas the tax impact of other adjustments, including restructuring initiatives, depends on whether the amounts are deductible in the respective tax jurisdictions and the applicable tax rate(s) in those jurisdictions. Due to these factors, the effective tax rate for the adjustments to our GAAP income before income taxes, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were 23.7% and 17.8%, respectively, compared to 11.0% and 23.5% for the corresponding period of the prior year.
(d)The adjustments related to certain acquisition items, prior period and other items excluded from GAAP earnings.
