• Operating expenses increased by DKK 1,083 million, or 66%, from DKK 1,645 million in 2018 to DKK 2,728 million in 2019 driven by the advancement of tisotumab vedotin and enapotamab vedotin, additional investments in our product pipeline, and the increase in new employees to support the expansion of our product pipeline.
• Operating income was DKK 2,638 million in 2019 compared to DKK 1,380 million in 2018. The improvement of DKK 1,258 million, or 91%, was driven by higher revenue, which was partly offset by increased operating expenses.

2020 OUTLOOK

Revenue

We expect our 2020 revenue to be in the range of DKK 4,750 – 5,150 million, compared to DKK 5,366 million in 2019. Our revenue in 2019 included DKK 1,684 million related to one-time sales milestones for DARZALEX net sales exceeding USD 2.5 billion and 3.0 billion in a calendar year.

Our projected revenue for 2020 primarily consists of DARZALEX royalties of DKK 4,075 – 4,475 million. Our 2020 guidance for DARZALEX royalties represents a 30% to 43% increase compared to 2019. Such royalties are based on estimated DARZALEX net sales of USD 3.9 – 4.2 billion. We project cost reimbursement income of approximately DKK 475 million which is related to our collaborations with Seattle Genetics and BioNTech. The remainder of our revenue is approximately DKK 200 million and consists of milestones and other royalties.

Operating Expenses

We anticipate our 2020 operating expenses to be in the range of DKK 3,850 – 3,950 million, compared to DKK 2,728 million in 2019. The increase is driven by the advancement of our clinical programs, particularly epcoritamab (DuoBody-CD3x-CD20) and DuoBody-PD-L1x4-1BB.

Operating Result

We expect our operating income to be in the range of DKK 850 – 1,250 million in 2020 compared to DKK 2,638 million in 2019.
