Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Press Release and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
On October 30, 2024 , the Company issued a press release announcing its unaudited results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and its unaudited financial position as of September 30, 2024. 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 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 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 assets acquired in connection with business acquisitions, including intangible assets and acquired inventory. Such charges include amortization of developed-product-technology rights, licensing rights, R&D technology rights, marketing-related rights and step-up to fair value of acquired inventory, as well as net impairment charges of in-process R&D assets. Net 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 net charges may vary in amount from period to period. The Company excludes these net 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 noncash net charges related to those intangible assets and inventory 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 these acquired assets are treated in a comparable manner to the Company's internally developed or produced assets.
•Net charges pursuant to the Company’s restructuring and cost savings initiatives: Costs from restructuring and cost savings initiatives are primarily related to facilities charges, including asset impairments and 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: (1) gains and losses on our investments in equity securities; (2) certain items associated with judgments and/or settlements for legal proceedings discussed in our filings; and (3) (i) interest expense and income on senior notes issued in March 2023 and (ii) debt issuance costs and other fees related to our bridge credit agreement and term loan credit agreement, incurred prior to the closing of our acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics plc. 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, the tax impact of adjustments, including the amortization of intangible assets and acquired inventory, gains and losses on our investments in equity securities and expenses related to restructuring and 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.
This information and the information contained in the press release 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 THIRD QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (Oct. 30, 2024) - Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2024.
“Strong growth in sales and earnings this quarter reflects the momentum we're building throughout our business. We continue to invest heavily in our rapidly advancing pipeline, with a focus on delivering innovative therapies across our core therapeutic areas,” said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer.
Key results include:
•For the third quarter, total revenues increased 23% to $8.5 billion in comparison to the third quarter of 2023.
◦Product sales grew 24%, driven by 29% volume growth, partially offset by 2% lower net selling price. Excluding sales from our Horizon Therapeutics (Horizon) acquisition, product sales grew 8%, driven by volume growth of 12%.
◦Ten products delivered at least double-digit sales growth in the third quarter, including Repatha® (evolocumab), TEZSPIRE® (tezepelumab-ekko), BLINCYTO® (blinatumomab), EVENITY® (romosozumab-aqqg), and TAVNEOS® (avacopan).
◦Our performance included $1.2 billion of sales from our rare disease products, driven by several first-in-class, early-in-lifecycle medicines, including TEPEZZA® (teprotumumab-trbw), KRYSTEXXA® (pegloticase), UPLIZNA® (inebilizumab-cdon), and TAVNEOS® (avacopan).
•GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased 62% from $3.22 to $5.22, driven by mark-to-market gains on our BeiGene, Ltd. (BeiGene) equity investment and higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses, including amortization expense from Horizon-acquired assets and incremental expenses from Horizon.
◦GAAP operating income remained relatively unchanged at $2.0 billion, and GAAP operating margin decreased 5.8 percentage points to 25.1%.
•Non-GAAP EPS increased 13% from $4.96 to $5.58, driven by higher revenues, partially offset by higher operating expenses, including incremental expenses from Horizon, and interest expense.
◦Non-GAAP operating income increased from $3.4 billion to $4.0 billion, and non-GAAP operating margin decreased 2.4 percentage points to 49.6%.
•The Company generated $3.3 billion of free cash flow in the third quarter of 2024 versus $2.5 billion in the third quarter of 2023, driven by business performance and timing of working capital items, partially offset by lower interest income.

Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis
On a GAAP basis for the third quarter:
•Total Operating Expenses increased 32% year-over-year. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales increased 13.0 percentage points driven by higher amortization expense from Horizon acquisition-related assets and, to a lesser extent, higher royalties and profit share. Research & Development (R&D) expenses increased 34% driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs, marketed product support, and research and early pipeline, including Horizon-acquired programs. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 20% primarily driven by commercial expenses related to Horizon-acquired products. Other operating expenses consisted primarily of an impairment charge associated with an IPR&D asset and changes in the fair values of contingent consideration liabilities, both related to our Teneobio, Inc. acquisition from 2021.
•Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales decreased 5.8 percentage points year-over-year to 25.1%.
•Tax Rate decreased 2.4 percentage points year-over-year primarily due to the change in earnings mix as a result of the inclusion of the Horizon business, partially offset by quarter-to-date 2024 unrealized gains on our strategic equity investments, primarily BeiGene.
On a non-GAAP basis for the third quarter:
•Total Operating Expenses increased 27% year-over-year. Cost of Sales as a percentage of product sales increased 0.4 percentage points driven by higher royalties and profit share, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs and changes in sales mix. R&D expenses increased 35% driven by higher spend in later-stage clinical programs, marketed product support, and research and early pipeline, including Horizon-acquired programs. SG&A expenses increased 21%, primarily driven by commercial expenses related to Horizon-acquired products.
•Operating Margin as a percentage of product sales decreased 2.4 percentage points year-over-year to 49.6%.
•Tax Rate decreased 2.7 percentage points year-over-year primarily due to the change in earnings mix as a result of the inclusion of the Horizon business.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

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,
AMGEN REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS

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. There can be no guarantee that we will be able to realize any of the strategic benefits, synergies or opportunities arising from the Horizon acquisition, and such benefits, synergies or opportunities may take longer to realize than expected. We may not be able to successfully integrate Horizon, and such integration may take longer, be more difficult or cost more than expected. 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.

| (a) | The adjustments related primarily to noncash amortization of intangible assets and fair value step-up of inventory acquired from business acquisitions. | |||||||
| (b) | For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the adjustments related primarily to noncash amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the adjustments related primarily to acquisition-related costs related to our Horizon acquisition. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the adjustments related primarily to noncash amortization of intangible assets from business acquisitions. | |||||||
| (c) | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the adjustments related primarily to acquisition-related costs related to our Horizon acquisition. | |||||||
| (d) | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the adjustments related primarily to separation costs associated with our restructuring plan initiated in early 2023. | |||||||
| (e) | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the adjustments related primarily to impairment charges for in-process R&D assets and changes in the fair values of contingent consideration liabilities, both related to our Teneobio, Inc. acquisition from 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the adjustments related primarily to a net impairment charge for AMG 340. | |||||||
| (f) | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the adjustments included (i) interest expense and income on senior notes issued in March 2023 and (ii) debt issuance costs and other fees related to our bridge credit and term loan credit agreements, incurred prior to the closing of our acquisition of Horizon. | |||||||
| (g) | For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the adjustments related primarily to our BeiGene equity fair value adjustment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the adjustments related primarily to our Neumora Therapeutics, Inc. and BeiGene equity fair value adjustments, respectively. | |||||||
| (h) | 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, the tax impact of adjustments, including the amortization of intangible assets and acquired inventory, gains and losses on our investments in equity securities and expenses related to restructuring and cost-savings 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, 2024, was 58.6% and 18.8%, respectively, compared to 22.0% and 22.2% for the corresponding periods of the prior year. | |||||||
| (i) | The adjustments related to certain acquisition items, prior period and other items excluded from GAAP earnings. | |||||||
