AMGEN REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS
 
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (April 30, 2020) - Amgen (NASDAQ:AMGN) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2020 and discussed the company's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
First Quarter Performance
Key results include:
•
Total revenues increased 11% to $6.2 billion in comparison to the first quarter of 2019, driven by higher unit demand, offset partially by lower net selling prices.
◦
Product sales increased 12% globally, driven by volume growth across a number of our newer products, including Otezla® (apremilast), Repatha® (evolocumab), MVASI® (bevacizumab-awwb), KANJINTI® (trastuzumab-anns) and Evenity® (romosozumab-aqqg), offset partially by declines in select products from the impact of biosimilar and generic competition.
•
GAAP earnings per share (EPS) decreased 3% to $3.07 driven by the amortization of costs associated with our Nov. 21, 2019 acquisition of Otezla, offset partially by increased revenues.
◦
GAAP operating income decreased 5% to $2.4 billion and GAAP operating margin decreased 6.8 percentage points to 40.0% driven by the amortization of intangible assets from our Otezla acquisition.
•
Non-GAAP EPS increased 17% to $4.17 driven by increased revenues and fewer weighted-average shares outstanding.
◦
Non-GAAP operating income increased 15% to $3.2 billion and non-GAAP operating margin increased 1.5 percentage points to 53.9%.
•
The Company generated $2.0 billion of free cash flow in the first quarter versus $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2019.
•
2020 total revenues guidance reaffirmed at $25.0-$25.6 billion; EPS guidance revised to $10.65-$11.45 on a GAAP basis and reaffirmed at $14.85-$15.60 on a non-GAAP basis.

“I am inspired by the many ways my colleagues at Amgen and others across the industry are stepping up to meet the greatest public health challenge of our lifetime,” said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer. “We are committed to an uninterrupted supply of our medicines to patients; advancing potential new medicines to treat serious diseases, including COVID-19; making a difference in the communities where we live and work; and creating long-term value for shareholders.”

Operating Expense, Operating Margin and Tax Rate Analysis
On a GAAP basis:
•
Total Operating Expenses increased 23% driven by Otezla-related expenses, including the amortization of intangible assets. Cost of Sales margin increased 5.7 percentage points driven by amortization of intangible assets acquired in the Otezla acquisition and an increase in milestone payments, offset partially by lower manufacturing costs. Research & Development (R&D) expenses increased 8% driven by higher late-stage development program support of our oncology portfolio, primarily AMG 510 (sotorasib), along with the recently acquired Otezla, offset partially by recoveries from our collaboration with BeiGene. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 14% due to our first full quarter of Otezla commercial-related expenses.
•
Operating Margin decreased 6.8 percentage points to 40.0% driven by the amortization of intangible assets from our Otezla acquisition.
•
Tax Rate decreased 4.2 percentage points due primarily to amortization related to the Otezla acquisition, changes in jurisdictional mix of earnings and an increase in net discrete tax benefits.

On a non-GAAP basis:

Cost of Sales margin decreased 1.6 percentage points driven by lower manufacturing costs, offset partially by an increase in milestone payments. R&D expenses increased 8% driven by higher late-stage development program support of our oncology portfolio, primarily AMG 510 (sotorasib), along with the recently acquired Otezla, offset partially by recoveries from our collaboration with BeiGene.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this news release, management has presented its operating results for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, management has presented its full year 2020 EPS and tax rate guidance in accordance with GAAP and on a non-GAAP basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are computed by excluding certain items related to acquisitions, restructuring and certain other items from the related GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the news release. Management has also presented Free Cash Flow (FCF), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the first quarters of 2020 and 2019. FCF is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow, each as determined in accordance with GAAP.
The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to enhance an investor’s overall understanding of the financial performance and prospects for the future of the Company’s ongoing business activities by facilitating comparisons of results of ongoing business operations among current, past and future periods. The Company believes that FCF provides a further measure of the Company’s liquidity.
The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth in the news release in connection with its own budgeting and financial planning internally to evaluate the performance of the business, including to allocate resources and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. The non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements that are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Amgen. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any statements on the outcome, benefits and synergies of collaborations, or potential collaborations, with any other company, including Adaptive Biotechnologies (including statements regarding such collaboration’s ability to discover and develop fully-human neutralizing antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 to potentially prevent or treat COVID-19), BeiGene, Ltd., or the Otezla acquisition, including anticipated Otezla sales growth and the timing of non-GAAP EPS accretion, as well as estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial metrics, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, reimbursement activities and outcomes, effects of pandemics or other widespread health problems such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business, outcomes, progress, or effects relating to studies of Otezla as a potential treatment for COVID-19, 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. 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 from business acquisitions.
 
 
 
(b)
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2020 the adjustment related primarily to an impairment charge associated with an in-process research and development asset.
 
 
 
(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 rates for the adjustments to our GAAP income before income taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, was 20.8%, compared with 22.8% for the corresponding period of the prior year.
 
 
 
(d)
 
The adjustments related to certain acquisition items and prior period items excluded from GAAP earnings.
