Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, our condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our financial statements for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our 2025 Form 10-K. Our accounting policies are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this report. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.
We operate asone operating segment, focused on discovering, developing and delivering innovative therapies for people living with serious and complex diseases.
Consolidation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our financial statements, those of our wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities where we are the primary beneficiary. For consolidated entities where we own or are exposed to less than 100.0% of the economics, we record net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax in our condensed consolidated statements of income equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, we apply a qualitative approach that determines whether we have both (1) the power to direct the economically significant activities of the entity and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to that entity. We continuously assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity as changes to existing relationships or future transactions may result in us consolidating or deconsolidating one or more of our collaborators or partners.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expense and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, judgments and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity and the amount of revenue and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that we adopt as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed below, we do not believe that the adoption of recently issued standards have had, or may have, a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
| Standard | Description | Effective Date | Effects on the financial statements |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement (Subtopic 220-40): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures | This standard requires disclosure in the notes to the financial statements, at each interim and annual reporting period, of specified information about certain costs and expense including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This standard also requires a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated, as well as disclosure of the total amount of selling expenses, and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. | Annual reporting for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. | We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and expect to apply this standard prospectively upon adoption. |
| ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software | This standard modernizes the accounting for software costs, including updating guidance on the recognition and measurement of costs incurred in connection with development and implementation activities related to internal-use software. | Annual reporting for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. | We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
| Note 2: | Acquisitions |
|---|
Proposed Acquisition of Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In March 2026 we entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel therapeutic compounds to treat diseases with high unmet needs. As a result of this proposed acquisition we would acquire two FDA-approved products from Apellis: SYFOVRE (pegcetacoplan injection) for the treatment of geographic atrophy, or GA, an immune-mediated retinal disease; and EMPAVELI (pegcetacoplan) for the treatment of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, or PNH, a rare blood disorder, and C3 glomerulopathy, or C3G, and primary immune complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, or primary IC-MPGN, in rare immune- mediated kidney diseases. The addition of Apellis is expected to enhance our short- and long-term revenue growth profile by adding two commercialized differentiated immunology and rare disease medicines to our growth portfolio.
Under the terms of the proposed acquisition, we would pay Apellis shareholders $41.00 per share in cash, representing an expected total transaction value of approximately $5.6 billion, and one contractual, non-transferable contingent value right per share representing the right to receive contingent cash payments of up to an aggregate of $4.00 in cash, subject to the achievement of specified annual global net sales thresholds for SYFOVRE.
We plan to fund the proposed acquisition of Apellis through approximately $3.6 billion of available cash and marketable securities on hand, supplemented by approximately $2.0 billion in bank loans.
We expect this transaction to be accounted for as a business combination and to include the results of operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
Alcyone Therapeutics, Inc.
In November 2025 we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Alcyone Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on pediatric care through precision CNS therapeutics and dosing platforms. The lead asset acquired is ThecaFlex DRx, an implantable subcutaneous port and catheter device being investigated for the intrathecal delivery of ASOs, including SPINRAZA, that is designed to provide an alternative to repeat lumbar punctures in chronic intrathecal administration of medicines.
Total consideration for this transaction was approximately $85.0 million, comprising of a $50.0 million payment made upon closing and a $35.0 million payment that was considered probable as of December 31, 2025, and made upon FDA approval of a supplemental application in January 2026. This consideration was recorded within acquired in-process research and development, upfront and milestone expense within our consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in our 2025 Form 10-K.
We may pay additional development and regulatory milestone payments to the former shareholders of Alcyone of up to a total of $75.0 million if approval is received for ThecaFlex DRx administration of SPINRAZA or other additional pipeline products.
We accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition as the value being acquired primarily relates to a single asset. Under the terms of this acquisition, we will oversee the end-to-end development, manufacturing and commercialization of ThecaFlex DRx.
Alcyone's remaining therapeutic assets were divested from Alcyone into Neela Therapeutics, Inc., a newly formed independent company, prior to the closing of this acquisition.
| Note 3: | Dispositions |
|---|
Sale of TOFIDENCE
In March 2025 we completed the sale of our regulatory and commercial rights in the U.S. for TOFIDENCE, a tocilizumab biosimilar referencing ACTEMRA, to Organon. Under the terms of this transaction, we received a payment of approximately $51.0 millionin July 2025 and recognized a de minimis loss within our condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
| Note 4: | Restructuring |
|---|
2023 Fit for Growth Restructuring Program
In 2023 we initiated cost saving measures as part of our Fit for Growth program to reduce operating costs, while improving operating efficiency and effectiveness. The Fit for Growth program generated approximately $1.0 billion in gross operating expense savings by the end of 2025, some of which has been reinvested in various initiatives. The Fit for Growth program included net headcount reductions of approximately 1,400 employees and we incurred total restructuring charges of approximately $320.0 million by the end of 2025.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded approximately $35.3 million in restructuring charges related to severance costs from our Fit for Growth program within restructuring charges in our condensed consolidated statements of income.

We elected the fair value option for both convertible notes. For additional information on the arrangement with City Therapeutics, please read Note 19, Collaborative and Other Relationships, to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Our marketable equity securities represent investments in publicly traded equity securities. Our ability to liquidate our investment in Denali may be limited by the size of our interest, the volume of market-related activity, our concentrated level of ownership and potential restrictions resulting from our status as a collaborator. Therefore, we may realize significantly less than the current value of such investments. For additional information on our investment in Denali common stock, please read Note 9, Financial Instruments, and Note 17, Other Consolidated Financial Statement Detail, to these condensed consolidated financial statements.
There have beenno material impairments of our assets measured and carried at fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. In addition, there have been no changes to our valuation techniques as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

| Expected timing of achievement of development milestones | 2028 - 2030 | — | |||
The weighted average discount rates were calculated based on the relative fair values of each distinct contingent consideration obligation related to our acquisition of HI-Bio in July 2024. In addition, we apply various probabilities of technological and regulatory success to the valuation models to estimate the fair values of these contingent consideration obligations, which ranged from approximately 75.0% to 95.0% as of March 31, 2026.
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities into or out of Level 3 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Contingent Consideration Obligations
In connection with our acquisition of HI-Bio in July 2024 we agreed to make additional payments based upon the achievement of certain milestone events. The following table provides a roll forward of the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations, which were classified as Level 3 measurements:
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In millions) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Fair value, beginning of period | $246.4 | $512.8 |
| Changes in fair value | 20.5 | 9.6 |
| Fair value, end of period | $266.9 | $522.4 |
Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations, other than changes due to payments, are recognized as a (gain) loss on fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities were based on a probability-adjusted discounted cash flow calculation using Level 3 fair value measurements and inputs. For additional information on the valuation techniques and inputs utilized in the valuation of our financial assets and liabilities, please read Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, approximately $266.9 million and $246.4 million, respectively, of the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations were classified as long-term and reflected as a component of other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations were primarily due to changes in the probabilities of success and expected timing of the achievement of certain remaining developmental milestones.
During the second quarter of 2025 the first milestone related to the fourth patient dosed in a phase 3 clinical trial of felzartamab for AMR was achieved, resulting in a $150.0 million milestone payment made to the former shareholders of HI-Bio, which was paid during the third quarter of 2025. In October 2025 the second milestone related to the fourth patient dosed in a phase 3 clinical trial of felzartamab for IgAN was achieved, resulting in a $150.0 million milestone payment made to the former shareholders of HI-Bio during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
Other Financial Instruments
Due to the short-term nature of certain financial instruments, the carrying value reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for current accounts receivable, due from anti-CD20 therapeutic programs, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expense and other, approximates fair value.

The fair values of each of our series of Senior Notes were determined through market, observable and corroborated sources. The changes in the fair values of our Senior Notes as of March 31, 2026, compared to December 31, 2025, are primarily related to increases in U.S. treasury yields and credit spreads used to value our Senior Notes since December 31, 2025.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts - Hedging Instruments
Due to the global nature of our operations, portions of our revenue and operating expense are recorded in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The value of revenue and operating expense measured in U.S. dollars is therefore subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options with financial institutions with the primary objective to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our international revenue and operating expense.
Foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options in effect as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, had durations of 1 to 18 months and 1 to 21 months, respectively. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and unrealized gains and losses on the portion of these foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options that are included in the effectiveness test are reported in AOCI. Realized gains and losses of such contracts and options are recognized in revenue when the sale of product in the currency being hedged is recognized and in operating expense when the expense in the currency being hedged is recorded. We recognize all cash flow hedge reclassifications from AOCI and fair value changes of excluded portions in the same line item in our condensed consolidated statements of income that have been impacted by the hedged item.
The notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts and foreign currency options that were entered into to hedge forecasted revenue and operating expense is summarized as follows:
| Notional Amount | ||
|---|---|---|
| (In millions) | As of March 31, 2026 | As of December 31, 2025 |

| Unrealized gains | $9.7 | $— |
| Unrealized (losses) | (24.4) | (73.3) |
| Net unrealized gains (losses) | $(14.7) | $(73.3) |
We expect net unrealized losses of approximately $14.7 million to be settled over the next 18 months, of which approximately $16.4 million of these net unrealized losses are expected to be settled over the next 12 months, with any amounts in AOCI to be reported as an adjustment to revenue or operating expense. We consider the impact of our and our counterparties’ credit risk on the fair value of the contracts as well as the ability of each party to execute its contractual obligations. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts and forward currency options.
The following table summarizes the effect of foreign currency forward contracts and forward currency options designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of income:

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts - Other Derivative Instruments
We also enter into other foreign currency forward contracts, usually with durations of one month or less, to mitigate the foreign currency risk related to certain balance sheet positions. We have not elected hedge accounting for these transactions.
The aggregate notional amount of these outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $1,241.1 million and $1,193.7 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Net losses of $18.8 million related to these contracts was recorded as a component of other (income) expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net gains of $7.7 million in the prior year comparative period.
Summary of Derivative Instruments
While certain of our derivative instruments are subject to netting arrangements with our counterparties, we do not offset derivative assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts in the table below would not be substantially different if the derivative assets and liabilities were offset.

2025 Senior Notes
On May 12, 2025, we issued senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of $1.75 billion, consisting of the following:
$400.0 million of 5.050% Senior Notes due January 15, 2031, valued at 99.981% of par;
$650.0 million of 5.750% Senior Notes due May 15, 2035, valued at 99.924% of par; and
$700.0 million of 6.450% Senior Notes due May 15, 2055, valued at 99.657% of par.
Our 2025 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and may be redeemed at our option at any time at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest and, until a specified period before maturity, a specified make-whole amount. Our 2025 Senior Notes contain a change-of-control provision that, under certain circumstances, may require us to purchase our 2025 Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.
We incurred approximately $13.9 million of costs associated with this offering which have been recorded as a reduction to the carrying amount of the debt on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These costs will be amortized as additional interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the period from issuance through maturity. The discounts will be amortized as additional interest expense over the period from issuance through maturity using the effective interest rate method.
Interest on our 2031 Senior Notes is payable January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2026. Interest on our 2035 Senior Notes and 2055 Senior Notes is payable May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2025.
4.050% Senior Notes due September 15, 2025

Tax Rate
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our effective tax rate was 15.4% and 22.7%, respectively. The decrease in our effective tax rate was partially driven by favorable impacts of a current year settlement of a foreign tax audit and the vesting of certain share based awards, partially offset by the higher rate of tax on NCTI due to the OBBBA enactment.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
We and our subsidiaries are routinely examined by various taxing authorities. We file income tax returns in various U.S. states and in U.S. federal and other foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination for years before 2022 or state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2013.
It is reasonably possible that we will adjust the value of our uncertain tax positions related to certain transfer pricing, collaboration matters, withholding taxes and other issues as we receive additional information from various taxing authorities, including reaching settlements with such authorities.
For additional information on our income taxes, please read Note 17, Income Taxes, to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Genentech, Inc. (Roche Group)
We have certain business and financial rights with respect to RITUXAN for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, CLL and other conditions; RITUXAN HYCELA for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and CLL; GAZYVA for the treatment of CLL, follicular lymphoma and lupus nephritis; OCREVUS for the treatment of PPMS and RMS; LUNSUMIO for the treatment of relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma; COLUMVI, a bispecific antibody for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; and have the option to add other potential anti-CD20 therapies, pursuant to our collaboration arrangements with Genentech, a wholly owned member of the Roche Group. For purposes of this footnote, we refer to RITUXAN and RITUXAN HYCELA collectively as RITUXAN.
RITUXAN
Under our collaboration with Genentech, we are entitled to a tiered share of co-promotion operating profits and losses of RITUXAN in the U.S., as summarized in the table below. Genentech and its affiliates are responsible for the worldwide manufacture of RITUXAN as well as all development and commercialization activities as follows:
U.S.: We have co-exclusively licensed our rights to develop, commercialize and market RITUXAN in the U.S.
Canada: We have co-exclusively licensed our rights to develop, commercialize and market RITUXAN in Canada.
GAZYVA
The Roche Group and its sub-licensees maintain sole responsibility for the development, manufacture and commercialization of GAZYVA and we are entitled to a tiered share of co-promotion operating profits and losses of GAZYVA in the U.S. The level of gross sales of GAZYVA in the U.S. has impacted our percentage of the co-promotion profits for RITUXAN and LUNSUMIO, as summarized in the table below.
OCREVUS
Pursuant to the terms of our collaboration arrangements with Genentech, we receive a tiered royalty on U.S. net sales from 13.5% and increasing up to 24.0% if annual net sales exceed $900.0 million. There will be a 50.0% reduction to these royalties upon the first entry of an FDA-approved biosimilar to OCREVUS.
In addition, we receive a gross 3.0% royalty on net sales of OCREVUS outside the U.S., with the royalty period lasting 11 years from the first commercial sale of OCREVUS on a country-by-country basis.
The commercialization of OCREVUS does not impact the percentage of the co-promotion profits we receive for RITUXAN, LUNSUMIO or GAZYVA. Genentech is solely responsible for development and commercialization of
OCREVUS and funding future costs. Genentech cannot develop OCREVUS in CLL, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or rheumatoid arthritis.
OCREVUS royalty revenue is based on our estimates from third party and market research data of OCREVUS sales occurring during the corresponding period. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenue will be adjusted for in the period in which they become known, which is generally expected to be the following quarter.
LUNSUMIO
Under our collaboration with Genentech, we are entitled to a tiered share of co-promotion operating profits and losses in the U.S., as summarized in the table below. In addition, we receive low-single digit royalties on sales of LUNSUMIO outside the U.S.
COLUMVI
Genentech has sole decision-making rights on the commercialization of COLUMVI within the U.S. and we receive tiered royalties in the mid-single digit range on net sales of COLUMVI in the U.S. The commercialization of COLUMVI does not impact the percentage of the co-promotion profits we receive for RITUXAN, LUNSUMIO or GAZYVA.
Profit-sharing Formulas
RITUXAN and LUNSUMIO Profit Share
Our current pre-tax co-promotion profit-sharing formula for RITUXAN and LUNSUMIO in the U.S. provides for a 30.0% share on the first $50.0 million of combined co-promotion operating profits earned each calendar year. Our share of the combined annual co-promotion profits for RITUXAN and LUNSUMIO in excess of $50.0 million varies upon the following events, as summarized in the table below:
| After LUNSUMIO Approval until the First Threshold Date | 37.5% |
|---|---|
| After First Threshold Date until the Second Threshold Date | 35.0% |
| After Second Threshold Date | 30.0% |
In March 2023 the First Threshold Date was achieved when U.S. gross sales of GAZYVA within a consecutive 12-month period reached $500.0 million. As a result, beginning in April 2023 the pre-tax profit share for RITUXAN and LUNSUMIO has been 35.0%. The Second Threshold Date would be achieved on the first date in any calendar year in which U.S. gross sales of LUNSUMIO have reached $350.0 million.
GAZYVA Profit Share
Our current pre-tax profit-sharing formula for GAZYVA provides for a 35.0% share of operating profits earned in the U.S. in each calendar year.

In October 2025 Local No. 1 Health Fund, the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, Teamsters Local 237 Welfare Fund, Teamsters Local 237 Retirees' Benefit Fund, UFCW Local 1500 Welfare Fund, and Jacksonville Police Officers and Fire Fighters Health Insurance Trust filed an amended complaint against us in now consolidated proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the Illinois federal court). The first complaint was filed in August 2024. The plaintiffs allege violations of federal antitrust laws including 15 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2 and 13(c), the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) and of various state laws, based on allegations about our contracts with pharmacy benefit managers related to TECFIDERA and VUMERITY and other allegations. Plaintiffs seek declarations of the actions as class actions, monetary, declaratory and equitable relief, and attorneys' fees and costs.
In addition, in September 2025 Walgreen Co. and The Kroger Co. sued us in the Illinois federal court, alleging violations of 15 U.S.C. §§ 1 and 2 based on allegations about our contracts with pharmacy benefit managers related to TECFIDERA and VUMERITY and other allegations. They seek monetary, declaratory and equitable relief, and attorneys' fees and costs.
Neurimmune Litigation
In May 2025 we sued Neurimmune Holding AG and Neurimmune Subone AG (collectively, "Neurimmune") in the District Court seeking declaratory judgment and permanent injunctive relief regarding our rights under a terminated collaboration agreement related to aducanumab. In September 2025 Neurimmune counterclaimed for declaratory judgment, breach of contract and unfair competition under Massachusetts G.L. 93A and seeking monetary, declaratory and equitable relief and attorneys' fees and costs.
TECFIDERA E.U. Litigation
We have sued certain generic companies for damages for sales of generic versions of TECFIDERA in violation of our regulatory market protection, including Neuraxpharm Pharmaceuticals S.L., Neuraxpharm Netherlands B.V., Zaklady Farmaceutyczne Polpharma S.A., Sandoz B.V., Mylan Ireland Ltd. and Mylan B.V. in the District Court of Amsterdam Netherlands in November 2023; Sandoz A/S in the Danish Maritime and Commercial High Court in June 2024; and STADA Arzneimittel AG, STADA Nordic ApS, Sandoz A/S, Sandoz (Denmark) and Sandoz A/S (Finland), Glenmark Arzneimittel AG and Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Nordic AB in the Finnish Market Court in July 2024. All of these parties have counterclaimed for damages based on our actions to enforce TECFIDERA's regulatory marketing protection.
In September 2025 the European General Court annulled the May 2023 European Commission decision granting TECFIDERA an additional year of regulatory marketing protection extending until February 2025. We and the European Commission appealed and the appeal is pending.
In November 2025 the Technical Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office revoked our EP 2 653 873 patent related to TECFIDERA, after which we stopped enforcing this patent and its national counterparts. Certain generic companies have filed claims in the Danish Maritime and Commercial High Court for alleged damages due to injunctions we obtained prior to patent revocation, including Sandoz A/S in October 2025, Viatris ApS in January 2024, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Nordic AB in July 2025 and Neuraxpharm Sweden AB and Neuraxpharm Pharmaceuticals S.L. in February 2026.
Germany Tax Matter
In December 2025 and January 2026 a German tax authority issued assessments against us of approximately €209.8 million including interest, which continues to accrue. We are challenging the assessments.

Trial against Sandoz Inc. is scheduled for April 2027.
Eisai Matter
In June 2025 we filed a request for arbitration in the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce seeking adoption of a budget and commercialization plan for the European Territory that allocates commercialization activities to Biogen and Eisai in an equitable fashion taking into account our respective capabilities and provides a meaningful role for each party.
Product Liability and Other Legal Proceedings
We are also involved in product liability claims and other legal proceedings incidental to our normal business activities. While the outcome of any of these proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, we do not believe the ultimate resolution of any of these existing matters would have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.
