Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
First Quarter 2022 Earnings Press Release and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
On April 27, 2022 , Amgen Inc. (the Company) issued a press release announcing its unaudited results of operations for the three months March 31, 2022, and its unaudited financial position as of March 31, 2022. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
In its press release the Company included certain non-U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) financial measures as defined in Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release are non-GAAP earnings per share, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating expenses and sub-components of non-GAAP operating expenses such as non-GAAP cost of sales, non-GAAP research and development (R&D) expenses and non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses. Reconciliations for such non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the press release. The Company also included Free Cash Flow (FCF), which is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow, each as determined in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes that this 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. The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures 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.
The following is a summary of the costs and other items excluded from the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to calculate non-GAAP financial measures:
•Acquisition-related expenses: Acquisition-related charges are primarily associated with intangible assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions. Such charges include amortization of developed-product-technology rights, licensing rights, R&D technology rights, and marketing-related rights, as well as impairments of in-process R&D assets. Charges for purchased intangible assets are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of the Company’s acquisitions and potential product approvals as they relate to in-process R&D projects acquired. Accordingly, these charges may vary in amount from period to period. The Company excludes these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of the Company’s current operating performance and comparisons to past operating performance. The Company believes that excluding the noncash charges related to those intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions treats those assets as if the Company had developed them internally in the past and, thus, provides a supplemental measure of profitability in which the Company’s acquired intellectual property is treated in a comparable manner to its internally-developed-intellectual property.
•Net charges pursuant to the Company’s costs savings initiatives: Costs from cost savings initiatives are primarily related to facilities charges, including accelerated depreciation, and severance and benefits for employees terminated pursuant to our transformation and process improvement efforts. Costs from such initiatives are inconsistent in amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of these events. Therefore, although the Company may incur these types of expenses in the future, it believes that eliminating these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures provides a supplemental evaluation of the Company’s current operating performance and facilitates comparisons to past operating performance.
•Other items: The Company adjusts GAAP financial results for certain income and expenses (or gains and losses). These adjustments include certain items from investment transactions, including amortization and impairments from the basis difference that arises from certain equity method investments and certain gains and losses on our investments in equity securities that are recorded to other income and expense. Further, the Company also adjusts GAAP financial results for certain items associated with judgments and/or settlements for legal proceedings discussed in our filings. The Company excludes these items for the purpose of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures presented because the Company believes these items are outside the ordinary course of business. The Company believes eliminating these items provides a supplemental evaluation of the Company’s current operating performance and facilitates comparisons to past operating performance.
•The tax effect of the adjustments between GAAP and non-GAAP results take 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 expenses related to cost savings initiatives, depends on whether the amounts are deductible in the respective tax jurisdictions and the applicable tax rate(s) in those jurisdictions.
The press release also contains a discussion of the additional purposes for which the Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Results to Reflect Updated Non-GAAP Policy
Beginning with the first quarter of 2022, the Company will modify its presentation of non-GAAP results and no longer exclude any upfront or milestone payments for licensing or collaboration agreements (regardless of the dollar amount), asset acquisitions of pre-approval, in-process R&D assets, or premiums paid on equity investments to the extent that such premiums are expenses as part of an upfront payment, from its non-GAAP measures. This change in our non-GAAP policy does not affect the Company’s non-GAAP results for the first quarter of 2022, nor does it affect previously presented first quarter 2021 non-GAAP results, as the Company had no charges related to those items during such periods. Prior period results will be recast to conform to this new non-GAAP policy. Furnished pursuant to this Item 2.02 as Exhibit 99.2 hereto is the recast presentation of the Company’s 2021 non-GAAP results to reflect our updated non-GAAP policy.
This information and the information contained in the press release and recast presentation of the Company’s 2021 non-GAAP financial results shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report is not incorporated by reference into any filings of the Company made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whether made before or after the date of this Current Report, regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing unless specifically stated so therein.

AMGEN REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (April 27, 2022) - Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2022. Key results include:
•Total revenues increased 6% to $6.2 billion in comparison to the first quarter of 2021, resulting from 2% growth in global product sales and increased Other Revenue from our COVID-19 manufacturing collaboration.
◦Volumes grew double-digits for a number of products including Repatha® (evolocumab), Prolia® (denosumab) and EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg).
•GAAP earnings per share (EPS) decreased 5% to $2.68 driven by a decrease in other (expense) income, net, partially offset by increased revenues and lower weighted-average shares outstanding. The decrease in other (expense) income, net, was primarily driven by net losses recognized on our strategic equity investments in the current year compared with net gains recognized in the prior year.
◦GAAP operating income increased 17% to $2.5 billion, and GAAP operating margin increased 5.5 percentage points to 43.6%.
•Non-GAAP EPS increased 15% to $4.25, driven by increased revenues and lower weighted-average shares outstanding.
◦Non-GAAP operating income increased 10% to $3.1 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin increased 3.6 percentage points to 54.8%.
•The Company generated $2.0 billion of free cash flow for the first quarter versus $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2021.
•2022 total revenues guidance reaffirmed at $25.4-$26.5 billion; EPS guidance revised to $12.53-$13.58 on a GAAP basis, and reaffirmed at $17.00-$18.00 on a non-GAAP basis.
•Amgen will vigorously contest the adjustments and penalties proposed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the 2010-15 period as discussed in more detail on pages 7-8 of this release. Amgen is confident in its position in the dispute, and in the level of reserves the Company has established.
"We achieved strong, volume-driven growth in the quarter, while launching two very promising first-in-class medicines," said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer. "We are also advancing a robust pipeline with data for several mid-to-late stage candidates expected during the year."

Product Sales Performance
Total product sales increased 2% for the first quarter of 2022 versus the first quarter of 2021. Unit volumes grew 9%, offset by 7% lower net selling price and 2% negative impact from foreign exchange, and sales in the first quarter benefited 2% ($110 million) from year-over-year favorable changes to estimated sales deductions. Consistent with prior years, Enbrel® (etanercept) and Otezla® (apremilast) followed the pattern of lower Q1 sales relative to the remainder of the year due to the impact of benefit plan changes, insurance reverifications and increased co-pay expenses as U.S. patients work through deductibles.
COVID-19 continued to affect our business around the world in the first quarter. In March and April, we have seen the impact of the pandemic recede in the U.S., which has led to improved demand patterns and allowed us to engage in increased field-facing activities.
General Medicine
•Prolia sales increased 12% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by 10% volume growth and higher net selling price.
•EVENITY sales increased 59% year-over-year to a record $170 million for the first quarter, driven by strong volume growth across our markets. U.S. sales grew 93% year-over-year, driven by 79% volume growth.
•Repatha sales increased 15% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by 49% volume growth partially offset by lower net selling price. Sales grew 19% in the U.S., driven by 41% volume growth partially offset by lower net selling prices resulting from higher rebates to support and expand access for patients. Sales grew 12% outside the U.S., with 57% volume growth partially offset by lower net selling price primarily driven 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 million patients treated since launch.
•Aimovig® (erenumab-aooe) sales increased 53% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by favorable changes to estimated sales deductions and higher net selling price, partially offset by a 4% decline in volume.

Inflammation
•TEZSPIRE™ (tezepelumab-ekko) generated sales of $7 million for the first quarter. TEZSPIRE has been well received by prescribers, with initial adoption by both allergists and pulmonologists. Healthcare providers have welcomed the product’s novel approach to treating the approximately 2.5 million worldwide patients with severe asthma who are uncontrolled or biologic eligible, without any phenotypic and biomarker limitation.
•Otezla® (apremilast) sales decreased 5% year-over-year for the first quarter, primarily driven by lower net selling price and lower inventory levels, partially offset by 7% volume growth. In the U.S., we saw strengthening of the market, with Otezla remaining the market share leader among patients who are new to systemic agents for psoriasis. U.S. sales were impacted in the first quarter as both wholesalers and specialty pharmacies reduced inventory levels. Otezla sales in the U.S. were also impacted by price declines in the first quarter, driven primarily by enhancements to our co-pay and patient assistance programs to support new patients starting treatment as well as additional rebates to improve the quality of coverage. Going forward, we expect continued strong volume growth and lower year-over-year price erosion for the remaining quarters of 2022.
•Enbrel® (etanercept) sales decreased 7% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by declines in net selling price and inventory levels. Year-over-year volume remained flat in the first quarter, supported by Enbrel's long track record of efficacy and safety.
•AMGEVITA™ (adalimumab) sales increased 2% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by 16% volume growth, partially offset by foreign exchange impact and lower net selling price resulting from increased competition. AMGEVITA continues to be the most prescribed adalimumab biosimilar in Europe.
Hematology-Oncology
•LUMAKRAS®/LUMYKRAS™ (sotorasib) generated $62 million of sales for the first quarter, representing 38% quarter-over-quarter growth. In the U.S., LUMAKRAS has been prescribed to approximately 2,500 patients by over 1,500 physicians in both academic and community settings. Outside the U.S., LUMYKRAS has now been approved in nearly 40 countries around the world, with recent reimbursement approvals in the United Kingdom and Japan.
•KYPROLIS® (carfilzomib) sales increased 14% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by 13% volume growth.
•XGEVA® (denosumab) sales increased 7% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by favorable changes to estimated sales deductions and higher net selling price, partially offset by a 2% decline in volume growth.
•Vectibix® (panitumumab) sales increased 5% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by volume growth in ex-U.S. markets. Vectibix remains the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) inhibitor of choice across all lines of therapy.
•Nplate® (romiplostim) sales increased 17% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by 7% volume growth and favorable changes to estimated sales deductions.
•BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab) sales increased 29% year-over-year for the first quarter, driven by volume growth.
•MVASI® sales decreased 17% year-over-year for the first quarter, primarily driven by lower net selling price that was partially offset by 13% volume growth. In the U.S., MVASI continues to hold
AMGEN REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS

leading volume share with 49% of the bevacizumab segment in the quarter. For the full-year, we expect continued net selling price erosion and volume declines driven by increased competition and Average Selling Price (ASP) erosion.
•KANJINTI® (trastuzumab-anns) sales decreased 40% year-over-year for the first quarter, primarily driven by declines in net selling price and volume. In the U.S., KANJINTI continues to hold leading volume share with 39% of the trastuzumab segment in the quarter. Going forward, we expect continued net selling price deterioration and volume declines driven by increased competition and 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 12% year-over-year for the first quarter, primarily driven by lower net selling price and volume declines. In the aggregate, we expect the year-over-year net price and volume erosion for this portfolio of products to continue.

Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis

Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 2%.
•Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales increased 5.5 percentage points to 43.6%.
•Tax Rate increased 0.5 percentage points primarily driven by current year net unfavorable items compared to last year partially offset by changes in earnings mix.

U.S. Tax Petition
On April 18, 2022, Amgen received a notice of deficiency from the IRS for the 2013-2015 period proposing adjustments primarily related to the allocation of profits between certain of the Company’s entities in the United States and the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico similar to those previously proposed by the IRS for the 2010-2012 period. This notice seeks to increase Amgen’s U.S. taxable income for the 2013-2015 period by an amount that would result in additional federal tax of approximately $5.1 billion, plus interest. In addition, the notice proposes penalties of approximately $2 billion.
Amgen firmly believes that the adjustments proposed by the IRS for the 2010-2015 period and the penalties proposed by the IRS for the 2013-2015 period are without merit:
•Puerto Rico is the site of the Company’s flagship manufacturing complex responsible for the majority of Amgen’s global manufacturing. Amgen has had a substantial manufacturing presence in Puerto Rico for 30 years, and the Company’s Puerto Rico subsidiary produces sophisticated biologic medicines for millions of patients around the world. The many valuable contributions of the Company’s Puerto Rico subsidiary include the effort and expertise of its 2,400 highly skilled staff members, the nearly $4 billion in capital investments it has made on the Island, the valuable assets it possesses, and the significant risks it has assumed in connection with its business. It is through these investments that Amgen has been able to meet the needs of every patient, every time.
•Amgen’s allocation of profit between its U.S. and Puerto Rico entities appropriately recognizes the key contributions made by the Company’s Puerto Rico subsidiary. The IRS position fails to adequately account for the importance of these value drivers. The proposed adjustments would result in Amgen’s Puerto Rico subsidiary earning little or no profit from its operations despite the value of and risk associated with its contributions.
•The IRS audited Amgen at length for many years on the allocation of profit between the U.S. and Puerto Rico. These audits were resolved through agreements with the IRS, resulting in no financial statement detriment to the Company. Refer to Footnote 5, Income Taxes, in Amgen’s 2007 and 2008 Form 10-K filings, and Footnote 4, Income Taxes, in Amgen’s 2012 and 2013 Form 10-K filings.
Further, the amount of the adjustments proposed by the IRS for the 2010-2015 period overstates by billions of dollars the magnitude of the dispute:
•Amgen believes, based upon the positions advanced by the IRS, that the IRS adjustments for the 2010-2015 period are overstated by approximately $2 billion due to the IRS failure to account for certain income and expenses. Amgen has reported its income and expenses in a consistent
AMGEN REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2022 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Page 8
manner for many years and the IRS has appropriately accounted for the Company’s income and expenses in all prior audits.
•Any additional tax that could be imposed for the 2010-2015 period would be reduced by up to approximately $3.1 billion of repatriation tax previously accrued with respect to the Company’s Puerto Rico earnings.
•Amgen previously made advance tax deposits to the IRS totaling $1.1 billion for the 2010-2015 period. These deposits would further reduce any additional cash tax that could be imposed.
In addition, Amgen believes the IRS assertion of approximately $2 billion in penalties for the 2013-2015 period is wholly unwarranted. Amgen has applied a consistent transfer pricing methodology since 2002, has documented that transfer pricing methodology as required under relevant tax regulations, and has extensively discussed that methodology with the IRS across multiple tax audits over multiple years. The IRS has never previously proposed transfer pricing penalties.
Amgen believes that the Company has appropriate tax reserves. The Company filed a petition in the U.S. Tax Court in July 2021 to contest the adjustments previously proposed for the 2010-2012 period and plans to file another petition in the U.S. Tax Court to contest the adjustments proposed in the notice for the 2013-2015 period. Amgen will seek consolidation of the two periods into one case in Tax Court. The dispute is expected to take several years to resolve.
The IRS is currently auditing the 2016-2018 period. Amgen expects the audit to continue for several years, and it is possible the 2010-2015 dispute will be resolved before the conclusion of the 2016-2018 audit and administrative appeals process. Any transfer pricing adjustments the IRS may propose for this period will be lessened by the change in tax rates resulting from the 2017 tax reform law, which reduced the difference between the tax rates applicable in the U.S. and Puerto Rico by approximately two thirds beginning in 2018.

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 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. 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 | $ | 2.68 | $ | 4.25 | $ | 2.83 | $ | 3.70 | |||||||||||||||
| (a) | The adjustments related primarily to noncash amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. | |||||||
| (b) | For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the adjustments related primarily to an in-process research and development asset adjustment. | |||||||
| (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 months ended March 31, 2022, was 18.0%, compared to 20.7% 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. | |||||||
