May 10, 2023 Copenhagen, Denmark;

Interim Report for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2023

Highlights

• Genmab revenue increased 35% compared to the first quarter of 2022, to DKK 2,854 million
  
  
  
  

“In the first quarter of the year we continued to lay the groundwork for the potential approval of epcoritamab in relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Looking beyond this indication, together with our partner AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie), we are committed to a robust clinical development program, evaluating epcoritamab in a variety of patient populations and treatment settings including in frontline DLBCL,” said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.

Financial Performance First Quarter of 2023

• Net sales of DARZALEX^® by Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen) were USD 2,264 million in the first three months of 2023 compared to USD 1,856 million in the first three months of 2022, an increase of USD 408 million, or 22%.
• Royalty revenue was DKK 2,428 million in the first three months of 2023 compared to DKK 1,836 million in the first three months of 2022, an increase of DKK 592 million, or 32%. The increase in royalties was driven by higher net sales of DARZALEX and Kesimpta^® and a higher average exchange rate between the USD and DKK.
• Revenue was DKK 2,854 million for the first three months of 2023 compared to DKK 2,119 million for the first three months of 2022. The increase of DKK 735 million, or 35%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our collaborations with Janssen and Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis), respectively, and higher reimbursement revenue driven by increased activities under our collaboration with BioNTech SE (BioNTech).
• Operating expenses were DKK 2,417 million in the first three months of 2023 compared to DKK 1,605 million in the first three months of 2022. The increase of DKK 812 million, or 51%, was driven by the expansion of our product pipeline, epcoritamab launch readiness, the continued development of Genmab’s broader organizational capabilities, and related team members to support these activities.
• Operating profit was DKK 437 million in the first three months of 2023 compared to DKK 514 million in the first three months of 2022.
• Net financial items resulted in expenses of DKK 151 million for the first three months of 2023 compared to income of DKK 98 million in the first three months of 2022. The decrease of DKK 249 million was primarily driven by net foreign exchange rate losses due to the USD weakening against the DKK.

Subsequent Event

• April: An arbitral tribunal issued an award in the second arbitration arising under Genmab’s license agreement with Janssen for daratumumab. The arbitral tribunal dismissed Genmab’s claims on the basis that these claims should have been brought in the first arbitration. One of the three arbitrators dissented. Genmab’s dismissed claims were a claim for milestone payments with respect to the subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab (“SC daratumumab,” marketed as DARZALEX FASPRO^® in the United States) and a claim for a new 13-year royalty term, on a country-by-country basis, from the date of the first commercial sale of SC daratumumab in each such country. Genmab has filed a request for review of the award before a single “appeal arbitrator.”
