Product portfolio and commercial strategy

• Repatha is widely accessible, with most patients paying under $50/month and virtually no prior authorizations.

• UPLIZNA uptake is split evenly between biologically experienced and naive patients, with convenience and efficacy as key differentiators.

• Commercial resources are dynamically allocated to meet prescriber and patient needs globally.

• Innovative oncology and rare disease portfolios each grew 25% year-over-year, with BiTE medicines and biosimilars as major contributors.

Pipeline and R&D updates

• MariTide, a GIP antagonist/GLP-1 agonist, is advancing in phase III for obesity and diabetes, with potential for less frequent dosing (every 4–12 weeks).

• MariTide shows strong tolerability at target dose and aims to improve patient persistence with less frequent injections.

• Maintenance studies for MariTide will last about a year, with high expected patient participation.

• Olpasiran, an Lp(a)-lowering agent, is in phase III; expected to be more potent than competitors, with a large addressable market.

• UPLIZNA is being developed for additional indications, including autoimmune hepatitis and CIDP, with more phase III studies starting this year.
