Phase 3 studies of UPLIZNA in patients with autoimmune hepatitis and in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy will be initiated H2 2026. TEPEZZA In April, the Company announced positive topline results from a Phase 3 trial of TEPEZZA administered by subcutaneous injection via an on-body injector (OBI) in adults with moderate-to-severe active Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). In this study, TEPEZZA OBI: showed comparable efficacy to intravenous (IV) TEPEZZA. achieved the primary endpoint with a 77% proptosis response rate at week 24 compared to 19.6% for placebo (p<0.0001). demonstrated a clinically meaningful mean reduction in proptosis of -3.17 mm at week 24 compared to -0.80 mm for placebo (p<0.0001). showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across the following additional secondary endpoints: overall responder rate; percentage of patients achieving a Clinical Activity Score (CAS) of 0 or 1; change in diplopia as ordinal response categories; diplopia response rate; complete diplopia responder rate; and mean change from baseline in week 24 in the Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QoL) appearance subscale. demonstrated overall safety results that were generally consistent with the known safety pro TEPEZZA IV. Mild-to-moderate injection site reactions were observed with subcutaneous administration in some patients, which did not result in treatment interruption or discontinuation. The most common adverse events (≥10%) were muscle spasms, tinnitus, weight decrease, ear discomfort, nausea and diarrhea. Full results from the study will be presented at an upcoming medical congress. A separate Phase 3b/4 trial, conducted to fulfill a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) postmarketing requirement for TEPEZZA IV, has been completed. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of three treatment durations (four, eight and 16 infusions) of TEPEZZA IV given once every 3 weeks in adult TED patients and assess the need for retreatment. The study was descriptive in nature. The observed risk pro consistent with the known pro TEPEZZA IV. The postmarketing data will be submitted to regulatory authorities and presented at an upcoming medical congress. TAVNEOS TAVNEOS (avacopan), a product the Company acquired in connection with its acquisition of ChemoCentryx, Inc in 2022, was approved by the FDA in October 2021. TAVNEOS is indicated 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. On April 27, 2026, FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) issued a proposal to withdraw approval of TAVNEOS, asserting that there is new information indicating lack of substantial evidence of effectiveness for the drug and that ChemoCentryx's application that resulted in FDA approval contained untrue statements of material facts. On April 30, 2026, the FDA posted a notice in the Federal Register that proposes to withdraw approval of TAVNEOS and announced an opportunity for ChemoCentryx, as the U.S. marketing authorization holder, to request a hearing on this proposal. As such, ChemoCentryx may request a hearing on this proposal, after which the FDA will determine whether there is a genuine and substantial issue of fact that requires a hearing. If a hearing is not granted, the FDA may enter summary judgment and ultimately withdraw approval. The Company intends to engage with the FDA, continues to believe that TAVNEOS demonstrates effectiveness and a favorable benefit–risk profile, and intends to follow the appropriate process to support its position. As the FDA's statement reporting its proposal indicates, TAVNEOS will remain on the market during the pendency of this process. Hepatotoxicity is a known risk of TAVNEOS treatment for AAV and has been a subject of ongoing dialogue with the FDA. In 2024, the Company provided an analysis of serious post-marketing cases of hepatotoxicity to the FDA. On March 31, 2026, the FDA issued a Drug Safety Communication notifying patients and health care professionals about serious postmarketing cases including fatal cases of drug induced liver injury associated with TAVNEOS. The current U.S. label includes a warning about hepatotoxicity and guidance for monitoring patients. The Drug Safety Communication provides additional information about drug-induced liver injury and vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) associated with TAVNEOS. Since approval in 2021, cases of VBDS have been reported, largely from Japan and none from the United States. Most patients who had VBDS were aged 65 years and older, and most cases occurred within 90 days of starting TAVNEOS. VBDS has been fatal in some of these patients. The Company remains committed to keeping patient safety, needs, and support at the forefront. On April 29, 2026, the Company submitted a Changes Being Effected (CBE-30) supplement to the FDA. The CBE-30 filing amends the hepatotoxicity warning language in the label to provide more information on cases of VBDS that have been observed in the post-marketing setting, including that cases with fatal outcomes have been reported, and modifies language regarding liver panel testing and treatment discontinuation rules. A Phase 3, open-label study of TAVNEOS in combination with rituximab or a cyclophosphamide-containing regimen is enrolling patients from 6 years to < 18 years of age with active ANCA-associated vasculitis (Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA)/Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA)). Dazodalibep Dazodalibep is a fusion protein that inhibits CD40L. Two Phase 3 studies of dazodalibep in Sjögren's disease are underway.

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 BeOne Medicines Ltd.), the performance of Otezla ® (apremilast), our acquisitions of ChemoCentryx, Inc., Dark Blue Therapeutics, Ltd. or Horizon Therapeutics plc (including the prospective performance and outlook of Horizon's business, performance and opportunities, and any potential strategic benefits, synergies or opportunities expected as a result of such 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 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, including those resulting from geopolitical relations and government actions. 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. 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, 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, and may result in unanticipated costs, delays or failures to realize the benefits of the transactions. 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 sustainability 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.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2026. "Our first quarter results demonstrate the strength of our business, with 16 brands achieving double-digit growth, enabling us to grow through expected patent expirations and increased competition. With a new wave of molecules progressing in Phase 3 clinical development, we're confident in our ability to deliver attractive long-term growth," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer. Key results include: For the first quarter, total revenues increased 6% to $8.6 billion in comparison to the first quarter of 2025. Product sales grew 4%, driven by 9% volume growth, partially offset by 2% lower net selling price and 2% from lower inventory levels. Sixteen products delivered at least double-digit sales growth in the first quarter. Seventeen products annualizing at more than $1 billion based on first quarter sales. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased 4% from $3.20 to $3.34 for the first quarter, driven by higher operating income, partially offset by net unrealized losses on equity investments in the current-year period compared to net unrealized gains in the prior-year period. For the first quarter, GAAP operating income increased from $1.2 billion to $2.7 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 17.4 percentage points to 32.4%. Non-GAAP EPS increased 5% from $4.90 to $5.15 for the first quarter, driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses. For the first quarter, non-GAAP operating income increased from $3.6 billion to $3.7 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin decreased 0.4 percentage points to 45.3%. The Company generated $1.5 billion of free cash flow for the first quarter of 2026 versus $1.0 billion for the first quarter of 2025, driven by business performance and timing of working capital, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. References in this release to "non-GAAP" measures, measures presented "on a non-GAAP basis," and "free cash flow" (computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow) refer to non-GAAP financial measures. 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 General Medicine Repatha ® (evolocumab) sales increased 34% year-over-year to $876 million in the first quarter, driven by 35% volume growth and 8% favorable changes to estimated sales deductions, partially offset by 7% lower net selling price.

XGEVA ® (denosumab) sales decreased 27% year-over-year to $411 million in the first quarter, driven by 19% lower volume and lower net selling price. For 2026, we continue to expect accelerated sales erosion driven by increased competition, as multiple biosimilars have launched globally.

TEPEZZA In April, the Company announced positive topline results from a Phase 3 trial of TEPEZZA administered by subcutaneous injection via an on-body injector (OBI) in adults with moderate-to-severe active Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). In this study, TEPEZZA OBI: showed comparable efficacy to intravenous (IV) TEPEZZA. achieved the primary endpoint with a 77% proptosis response rate at week 24 compared to 19.6% for placebo (p<0.0001). demonstrated a clinically meaningful mean reduction in proptosis of -3.17 mm at week 24 compared to -0.80 mm for placebo (p<0.0001). showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across the following additional secondary endpoints: overall responder rate; percentage of patients achieving a Clinical Activity Score (CAS) of 0 or 1; change in diplopia as ordinal response categories; diplopia response rate; complete diplopia responder rate; and mean change from baseline in week 24 in the Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QoL) appearance subscale. demonstrated overall safety results that were generally consistent with the known safety profile of TEPEZZA IV. Mild-to-moderate injection site reactions were observed with subcutaneous administration in some patients, which did not result in treatment interruption or discontinuation. The most common adverse events (≥10%) were muscle spasms, tinnitus, weight decrease, ear discomfort, nausea and diarrhea. Full results from the study will be presented at an upcoming medical congress. A separate Phase 3b/4 trial, conducted to fulfill a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) postmarketing requirement for TEPEZZA IV, has been completed. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of three treatment durations (four, eight and 16 infusions) of TEPEZZA IV given once every 3 weeks in adult TED patients and assess the need for retreatment. The study was descriptive in nature. The observed risk profile was consistent with the known profile of TEPEZZA IV. The postmarketing data will be submitted to regulatory authorities and presented at an upcoming medical congress. TAVNEOS TAVNEOS (avacopan), a product the Company acquired in connection with its acquisition of ChemoCentryx, Inc in 2022, was approved by the FDA in October 2021. TAVNEOS is indicated 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. On April 27, 2026, FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) issued a proposal to withdraw approval of TAVNEOS, asserting that there is new information indicating lack of substantial evidence of effectiveness for the drug and that ChemoCentryx's application that resulted in FDA approval contained untrue statements of material facts. On April 30, 2026, the FDA posted a notice in the Federal Register that proposes to withdraw approval of TAVNEOS and announced an opportunity for ChemoCentryx, as the U.S. marketing authorization holder, to request a hearing on this proposal. As such, ChemoCentryx may request a hearing on this proposal, after which the FDA will determine whether there is a genuine and substantial issue of fact that requires a hearing. If a hearing is not granted, the FDA may enter summary judgment and ultimately withdraw approval. The Company intends to engage with the FDA, continues to believe that TAVNEOS demonstrates effectiveness and a favorable benefit–risk profile, and intends to follow the appropriate process to support its position. As the FDA's statement reporting its proposal indicates, TAVNEOS will remain on the market during the pendency of this process. Hepatotoxicity is a known risk of TAVNEOS treatment for AAV and has been a subject of ongoing dialogue with the FDA. In 2024, the Company provided an analysis of serious post-marketing cases of hepatotoxicity to the FDA. On March 31, 2026, the FDA issued a Drug Safety Communication notifying patients and health care professionals about serious postmarketing cases including fatal cases of drug induced liver injury associated with TAVNEOS. The current U.S. label includes a warning about hepatotoxicity and guidance for monitoring patients. The Drug Safety Communication provides additional information about drug-induced liver injury and vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) associated with TAVNEOS. Since approval in 2021, cases of VBDS have been reported, largely from Japan and none from the United States. Most patients who had VBDS were aged 65 years and older, and most cases occurred within 90 days of starting TAVNEOS. VBDS has been fatal in some of these patients. The Company remains committed to keeping patient safety, needs, and support at the forefront. On April 29, 2026, the Company submitted a Changes Being Effected (CBE-30) supplement to the FDA. The CBE-30 filing amends the hepatotoxicity warning language in the label to provide more information on cases of VBDS that have been observed in the post-marketing setting, including that cases with fatal outcomes have been reported, and modifies language regarding liver panel testing and treatment discontinuation rules. A Phase 3, open-label study of TAVNEOS in combination with rituximab or a cyclophosphamide-containing regimen is enrolling patients from 6 years to < 18 years of age with active ANCA-associated vasculitis (Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA)/Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA)).
