Additional Information - Clinical Development Programs
Aflibercept 8 mg
In June 2023, the FDA issued a CRL for the BLA for aflibercept 8 mg for the treatment of patients with wet AMD, DME, and DR. The CRL was issued solely due to unresolved observations resulting from a May 2023 FDA inspection at a third-party contract manufacturing organization, Catalent, that the Company engaged to complete vial-filling for aflibercept 8 mg. The CRL did not identify any issues with the aflibercept 8 mg clinical efficacy or safety profile, trial design, labeling, or drug substance manufacturing, and no additional clinical data or trials have been requested.
The May 2023 inspection was conducted as part of the FDA review process for both the aflibercept 8 mg BLA and the pending BLA for pozelimab, as both product candidates are filled on the same manufacturing line in Catalent's facility. Catalent has already provided certain manufacturing data and other information to the FDA, and expects to be able to provide the remaining required data and information in August 2023. The FDA has stated that its review of the Catalent manufacturing data in the context of the pozelimab BLA will support actions for both the pozelimab BLA and the aflibercept 8 mg BLA resubmission. The FDA has also informed the Company that it will strive to complete its review prior to the target action date for the pozelimab BLA (August 20, 2023), and, if unable to do so, may extend its review by up to 3 months while still continuing to prioritize the review. Based on this information, the Company anticipates the FDA will act on the pozelimab and aflibercept 8 mg BLAs before the end of the third quarter 2023.
In June 2023, the Company announced top-line, two-year (96 weeks) data for aflibercept 8 mg from the pivotal PHOTON trial in patients with DME. In addition, in July 2023, the results were presented at the American Society of Retina Specialists annual meeting. During the trial, aflibercept 8 mg patients were initially randomized to either 12- or 16-week dosing intervals (after three initial monthly doses) and were able to shorten or extend dosing intervals if pre-specified criteria were met. The longer-term data among aflibercept 8 mg patients who completed the trial demonstrated that the vast majority of patients were able to maintain or further extend these dosing intervals through two years with:
• 89% maintaining ≥12-week dosing intervals through two years, compared to 93% through one year (48 weeks);
• 84% maintaining ≥16-week dosing intervals through two years, compared to 89% maintaining a 16-week dosing interval through one year; and
• 44% meeting the criteria for ≥20-week dosing intervals by week 96, including 17% and 27% who were eligible for 20- and 24-week dosing intervals, respectively.
The visual gains for aflibercept 8 mg remained consistent with the first year of the trial. In PHOTON, the safety of aflibercept 8 mg also continued to be similar to EYLEA through two years and remained consistent with the known safety profile of EYLEA from previous clinical trials for DME.
In May 2023, Bayer announced that it initiated a Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aflibercept 8 mg at extended dosing intervals compared to the standard of care, EYLEA, in RVO to support potential future regulatory submissions outside the United States.
Dupixent
In March 2023, the Company and Sanofi announced that the primary and all key secondary endpoints were met in the BOREAS trial (the first of two Phase 3 trials) in adults currently on maximal standard-of-care inhaled therapy (triple therapy) with uncontrolled COPD and evidence of type 2 inflammation. In this trial, patients receiving Dupixent experienced a 30% reduction in moderate or severe acute COPD exacerbations (rapid and acute worsening of respiratory symptoms) over 52 weeks, while also demonstrating significant improvements in lung function, quality of life, and COPD respiratory symptoms. The safety results were generally consistent with the known safety profile of Dupixent in its approved indications.
REGN5678
In the ongoing Phase 1 study of REGN5678, the Company has observed antitumor activity in combination with Libtayo as well as with REGN5678 monotherapy. Due to the emerging safety profile, including two immune-mediated Grade 5 adverse events (death), one of which occurred in July 2023, the Company has discontinued enrollment of patients receiving the combination of REGN5678 and full-dose Libtayo. The Company plans to explore REGN5678 combinations with lower doses of Libtayo. The Company also plans to enroll patients in a REGN5678 monotherapy cohort, as well as in combination with other immunotherapy modalities.
ALN-APP
In April 2023, the Company and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported positive interim data from the single dose portion of the Phase 1 study of ALN-APP in early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Alnylam announced incremental data at the 2023

Table of Contents
Alzheimer’s Association International Conference ("AAIC") in July 2023. The Phase 1 trial is ongoing, with safety and efficacy trends to be further evaluated as more data are gathered. As described in the "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements - Alnylam" section below, Alnylam is eligible to receive a $100.0 million development milestone from us upon achieving specified clinical proof-of-principle criteria for a central nervous system ("CNS") program (including the ALN-APP program).
Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements
Sanofi
Antibody
We are collaborating with Sanofi on the global development and commercialization of Dupixent, Kevzara, and itepekimab (the "Antibody Collaboration"). Under the terms of the Antibody License and Collaboration Agreement (the "LCA"), Sanofi is generally responsible for funding 80% to 100% of agreed-upon development costs. We are obligated to reimburse Sanofi for 30% to 50% of worldwide development expenses that were funded by Sanofi based on our share of collaboration profits from commercialization of collaboration products; as of December 31, 2022, the total amount of our contingent reimbursement obligation to Sanofi in connection with such development expenses was approximately $2.9 billion. Under the terms of the LCA, we were required to apply 10% of our share of the profits from the Antibody Collaboration in any calendar quarter to reimburse Sanofi for these development costs. On July 1, 2022, an amendment to the LCA became effective, pursuant to which the percentage of Regeneron’s share of profits used to reimburse Sanofi for such development costs increased from 10% to 20%.
Under our collaboration agreement, Sanofi records product sales for commercialized products, and Regeneron has the right to co-commercialize such products on a country-by-country basis. We co-commercialize Dupixent in the United States and in certain countries outside the United States. We supply certain commercial bulk product to Sanofi. We and Sanofi equally share profits and losses from sales within the United States. We and Sanofi share profits outside the United States on a sliding scale based on sales starting at 65% (Sanofi)/35% (us) and ending at 55% (Sanofi)/45% (us), and share losses outside the United States at 55% (Sanofi)/45% (us). In each of 2020 and 2021, we earned a $50.0 million sales-based milestone from Sanofi, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent) exceeding $1.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, on a rolling twelve-month basis. In 2022, we earned two additional $50.0 million sales-based milestones, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent) exceeding $2.0 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, on a rolling twelve-month basis. We are entitled to receive the final sales milestone payment of $50.0 million when such sales outside the United States exceed $3.0 billion on a rolling twelve-month basis.
Immuno-Oncology
We previously collaborated with Sanofi for antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology (the "IO Collaboration"). Under the terms of the Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement, the parties were co-developing and co-commercializing Libtayo. The parties shared equally, on an ongoing basis, development and commercialization expenses for Libtayo. We had principal control over the development of Libtayo and led commercialization activities in the United States, while Sanofi led commercialization activities outside of the United States. The parties shared equally in profits and losses in connection with the commercialization of Libtayo.
Effective July 1, 2022, the Company obtained the exclusive right to develop, commercialize, and manufacture Libtayo worldwide under an Amended and Restated Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement with Sanofi (the "A&R IO LCA"). In connection with the A&R IO LCA, in 2022, the Company made a $900.0 million up-front payment to Sanofi, as well as a $100.0 million regulatory milestone payment. In addition, Sanofi earned a $65.0 million sales-based milestone upon the achievement of a specified amount of worldwide net product sales of Libtayo in 2022 and is eligible to receive an additional $35.0 million sales-based milestone upon the achievement of a specified amount of worldwide net product sales of Libtayo in 2023. We also pay Sanofi an 11% royalty on net product sales of Libtayo through March 31, 2034. The parties have also entered into a transition services agreement, a transitional distribution agreement, and a manufacturing services agreement, pursuant to which, during certain transitional periods, Sanofi will perform for Regeneron certain transition, distribution, and manufacturing services, respectively.
Under the Amended and Restated Immuno-oncology Discovery and Development Agreement, we were obligated to reimburse Sanofi for half of the development costs it funded that were attributable to clinical development of product candidates from our share of profits from commercialized IO Collaboration products. Under the A&R IO LCA, the amount of development costs incurred under the IO Collaboration for which we are obligated to reimburse Sanofi was $35.0 million as of the effective date of the A&R IO LCA, and we pay Sanofi a 0.5% royalty on net product sales of Libtayo until all such development costs have been reimbursed by us.

Table of Contents
Bayer
We and Bayer are parties to a license and collaboration agreement for the global development and commercialization of EYLEA and aflibercept 8 mg outside the United States. Agreed-upon development expenses incurred by the Company and Bayer are generally shared equally. Bayer is responsible for commercialization activities outside the United States, and the companies share equally in profits and losses from such sales.
We are obligated to reimburse Bayer for 50% of the development costs that it has incurred under the agreement from our share of the collaboration profits. The reimbursement payment in any quarter will equal 5% of the then outstanding repayment obligation, but never more than our share of the collaboration profits in the quarter unless we elect to reimburse Bayer at a faster rate.
Within the United States, we retain exclusive commercialization rights and are entitled to all profits from such sales.
Alnylam
In 2019, we and Alnylam entered into a global, strategic collaboration to discover, develop, and commercialize RNAi therapeutics for a broad range of diseases by addressing therapeutic disease targets expressed in the eye and central nervous system, in addition to a select number of targets expressed in the liver. In connection with the collaboration, the Company made an up-front payment of $400.0 million to Alnylam, and also purchased shares of Alnylam common stock for $400.0 million. For each program, we provide Alnylam with a specified amount of funding at program initiation and at lead candidate designation, and Alnylam is eligible to receive two $100.0 million clinical proof-of-principle milestones for each of the eye and CNS programs (an aggregate of $200.0 million in development milestones).
Under the terms of the collaboration, the parties plan to perform discovery research until designation of lead candidates. Following designation of a lead candidate, the parties may further advance such lead candidate under either a co-development/co-commercialization collaboration agreement ("Co-Co Collaboration Agreement") (under which the parties are advancing ALN-APP and ALN-PNP, which are currently in clinical development) or a license agreement ("License Agreement") structure. The initial target nomination and discovery period is five years (which may under certain situations automatically be extended for up to seven years in the aggregate) (the "Research Term"). In addition, we have an option to extend the Research Term for an additional five-year period for a research extension fee of $300.0 million.
For CNS programs and liver programs, under a Co-Co Collaboration Agreement, the party designated as the lead party will lead development and commercialization of the program and the parties will split profits and share costs equally, subject to certain co-funding opt-outs at specified clinical trial phases or under other conditions. Alnylam is the lead party for ALN-APP, and we are the lead party for ALN-PNP.
In addition, during 2019, the parties entered a License Agreement for a combination consisting of cemdisiran (a small interfering RNA ("siRNA") therapeutic targeting the C5 component of the human complement pathway being developed by Alnylam) and pozelimab, with us as the licensee. Under the License Agreement, we as the licensee are responsible for our own costs and expenses.
Intellia
In 2016, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. to advance CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology for in vivo therapeutic development. NTLA-2001, which is in clinical development, is subject to a co-development and co-commercialization arrangement pursuant to which Intellia will lead development and commercialization activities and the parties share an agreed-upon percentage of development expenses and profits (if commercialized).
In 2020, we expanded our existing collaboration with Intellia to provide us with rights to develop products for additional in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-based therapeutic targets and for the companies to jointly develop potential products for the treatment of hemophilia A and B, with Regeneron leading development and commercialization activities. In addition, we also received non-exclusive rights to independently develop and commercialize ex vivo gene edited products. In connection with the 2020 agreement, we made a $70.0 million up-front payment to Intellia.
General
Our ability to generate profits and to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next several years depends significantly on the continued success in commercializing EYLEA and Dupixent, as well as on whether we are able to obtain regulatory approval for aflibercept 8 mg and are successful in commercializing it. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our research and development activities, a portion of which we expect to be reimbursed by our collaborators. In addition, our research and development activities and related costs which are not reimbursed are expected to expand and require additional resources. We also expect to incur substantial costs related to the commercialization of our

Table of Contents
marketed products. Our financial results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and will depend on, among other factors, the net sales of our products; the scope and progress of our research and development efforts; the timing of certain expenses; the continuation of our collaborations, in particular with Sanofi and Bayer, including our share of collaboration profits from sales of commercialized products and the amount of reimbursement of our research and development expenses that we receive from collaborators; and the amount of income tax expense we incur, which is partly dependent on the profits or losses we earn in each of the countries in which we operate. We cannot predict whether or when new products or new indications for marketed products will receive regulatory approval or, if any such approval is received, whether we will be able to successfully commercialize such product(s) and whether or when they may become profitable.

Global net product sales of Dupixent and Kevzara are recorded by Sanofi in connection with the Antibody Collaboration. As described above under "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements - Sanofi - Antibody ", on July 1, 2022, an amendment to the LCA became effective, pursuant to which the percentage of Regeneron's share of profits in any calendar quarter used to reimburse Sanofi for development costs which were funded by Sanofi increased from 10% to 20%. The increase in our share of profits in connection with commercialization of antibodies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, was driven by higher profits associated with Dupixent sales, partly offset by the impact of the amendment to the LCA.

Research and Development Expenses
The following table summarizes our estimates of direct research and development expenses by clinical development program and other significant categories of research and development expenses. Direct research and development expenses are comprised primarily of costs paid to third parties for clinical and product development activities, including costs related to preclinical research activities, clinical trials, and the portion of research and development expenses incurred by our collaborators that we are obligated to reimburse. Indirect research and development expenses have not been allocated directly to each program, and primarily consist of costs to compensate personnel, overhead and infrastructure costs to maintain our facilities, and other costs related to activities that benefit multiple projects. Clinical manufacturing costs primarily consist of costs to manufacture bulk drug product for clinical development purposes as well as related drug filling, packaging, and labeling costs. Clinical manufacturing costs also includes pre-launch commercial supplies which did not meet the criteria to be capitalized as inventory. The table below also includes reimbursements of research and development expenses by collaborators, as when we are entitled to reimbursement of all or a portion of such expenses that we incur under a collaboration, we record those reimbursable amounts in the period in which such costs are incurred.

* Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Total research and development expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, partially due to the impact of the amendments to the Sanofi collaboration agreements (which were effective July 1, 2022) described under the "Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements" section above, as (i) Sanofi is no longer reimbursing us for 50% of Libtayo development costs (such reimbursements were previously included in Reimbursement of research and development expenses by collaborators in the table above) and (ii) we recognize our 50% share of research and development expenses in connection with the Sanofi Antibody Collaboration. Clinical manufacturing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased due to manufacturing activity associated with our earlier-stage product candidates.
Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $109.1 million and $89.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $248.6 million and $182.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

There are numerous uncertainties associated with drug development, including uncertainties related to safety and efficacy data from each phase of drug development, uncertainties related to the enrollment and performance of clinical trials, changes in regulatory requirements, changes in the competitive landscape affecting a product candidate, and other risks and uncertainties described in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors." There is also variability in the duration and costs necessary to develop a pharmaceutical product, potential opportunities and/or uncertainties related to future indications to be studied, and the estimated cost and scope of the projects. The lengthy process of seeking FDA and other applicable approvals, and subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, require the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals could materially adversely affect our business. We are unable to reasonably estimate if our product candidates in clinical development will generate material product revenues and net cash inflows.
Acquired In-process Research and Development ("IPR&D")
Acquired IPR&D for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included a $45.0 million up-front payment in connection with our collaboration agreement with Sonoma Biotherapeutics, Inc. Acquired IPR&D for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 included a $195.0 million charge related to the Company's acquisition of Checkmate Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Additionally, Acquired IPR&D for the six months ended June 30, 2022 included a $20.0 million opt-in payment in connection with a product candidate under our collaboration agreement with Adicet Bio, Inc.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to an increase in commercialization-related expenses and integration costs for Libtayo outside the United States (as effective July 1, 2022, the Company became solely responsible for the commercialization of Libtayo worldwide), higher headcount and headcount-related costs, and higher contributions to an independent not-for-profit patient assistance organization. Selling, general, and administrative expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $73.3 million and $57.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $150.1 million and $118.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Cost of Collaboration and Contract Manufacturing
Cost of collaboration and contract manufacturing increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to the recognition of costs in connection with manufacturing commercial supplies of Dupixent. Cost of collaboration and contract manufacturing for the six months ended June 30, 2023 also increased due to the recognition of costs in connection with manufacturing commercial supplies for Sanofi related to Praluent outside the United States.
Other Operating (Income) Expense
Other operating (income) expense, net, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 included recognition of amounts previously deferred in connection with up-front and development milestone payments, as applicable, received in connection with our Sanofi IO, Teva, and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation ("MTPC") collaborative arrangements. As the A&R IO LCA became effective July 1, 2022, the three months ended June 30, 2022 was the last period in which such amounts were recognized in connection with our Sanofi IO Collaboration. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company discontinued further clinical development of fasinumab, and, as a result, we deemed our obligation to provide development services in connection with the Teva and MTPC collaborative arrangements to be complete.
