Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer each concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 using the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023. The effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears under Part IV, Item 15.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and cannot detect all deviations. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or deviations, if any, within the company have been detected. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, of stockholders' equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company's consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
F-2
Table of Contents
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Reserve for an Uncertain Tax Position
As described in Notes 1 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's reserves for uncertain tax positions were $ 696.4 million as of December 31, 2023. A reserve for an individual uncertain tax position represents a portion of the consolidated balance. The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when management's assessment is that there is more than a 50% probability that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based upon its technical merits. Uncertain tax positions are recorded based upon certain recognition and measurement criteria. Management re-evaluates uncertain tax positions and considers various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. The Company adjusts the amount of the liability to reflect any subsequent changes in the relevant facts and circumstances surrounding the uncertain tax positions.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the reserve for an uncertain tax position is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when determining the reserve for the uncertain tax position; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management's determination of the reserve for the uncertain tax position; (iii) the assessment and evaluation of audit evidence available to support the reserve for the uncertain tax position is complex, and (iv) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the recognition of reserves for uncertain tax positions. These procedures also included, among others, (i) testing the information used in the calculation of the reserve for the individual uncertain tax position, such as international and federal filing positions, and the related final tax returns; (ii) testing the calculation of the reserve for the uncertain tax position; and (iii) evaluating management's assessment of the technical merits of tax positions and estimates of the amount of tax benefit expected to be sustained, as well as the likelihood of the possible outcome. Professionals with specialized skills and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the technical merits and the tax benefit expected to be sustained and the application of relevant tax laws.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Business
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Regeneron," "Company," "we," "us," and "our") is a fully integrated biotechnology company that invents, develops, manufactures, and commercializes medicines for people with serious diseases. The Company's products and product candidates in development are designed to help patients with eye diseases, allergic and inflammatory diseases, cancer, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, hematologic conditions, infectious diseases, and rare diseases. The Company's research and development efforts have led to eleven products that have received marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). In addition, REGEN-COV ® was authorized under an Emergency Use Authorization ("EUA") from November 2020 until January 2022 when the EUA was revised to exclude its use in geographic regions where infection or exposure is likely due to a variant that is not susceptible to the treatment; as a result, REGEN-COV is not currently authorized for use in any U.S. states, territories, or jurisdictions. The Company is a party to collaboration agreements to develop and commercialize, as applicable, certain products and product candidates (see Note 3).
The Company operates in one business segment, which includes all activities related to the discovery, development, and commercialization of medicines for serious diseases. The Company's business is subject to certain risks including, but not limited to, uncertainties relating to conducting research activities, product development, obtaining regulatory approvals, competition, and obtaining and enforcing patents.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Regeneron and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform with the current period's presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash, cash equivalents, certain investments, and accounts receivable. In accordance with the Company's policies, the Company mandates asset diversification and monitors exposure with its counterparties.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to collaborator (see Note 3) and customer accounts receivable are significant. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, two individual customers accounted for 83 % and 86 % of the Company's net trade accounts receivable balances, respectively. The Company has contractual payment terms with each of its collaborators and customers, and the Company monitors their financial performance and credit worthiness so that it can properly assess and respond to any changes in their credit profile. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no write-offs and allowances of accounts receivable related to credit risk for the Company's collaborators or customers.
Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.
Debt and Equity Securities
The Company has an investment policy that includes guidelines on acceptable investment securities, minimum credit quality, maturity parameters, and diversification. The Company invests its cash primarily in debt securities. The Company considers its investments in debt securities to be "available-for-sale," as defined by authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). These assets are carried at fair value and the unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in other income
F-9
Table of Contents
(expense), net. The Company reviews its portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities, using both quantitative and qualitative factors, to determine if declines in fair value below cost have resulted from a credit-related loss or other factors. If the decline in fair value is due to credit-related factors, a loss is recognized in net income, whereas if the decline in fair value is not due to credit-related factors, the loss is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company also has investments in equity securities that are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized within other income (expense), net. The Company has elected to measure certain equity investments it holds that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost less impairment, if any, and adjusts for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer within other income (expense), net.
Accounts Receivable
The Company's trade accounts receivable arise from product sales and represent amounts due from its customers. In addition, the Company records accounts receivable arising from its collaboration and licensing agreements. The Company monitors the financial performance and credit worthiness of its counterparties so that it can properly assess and respond to changes in their credit profile. The Company provides allowances against receivables for estimated losses, if any, that may result from a counterparty's inability to pay. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are written-off against the allowance.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company determines the cost of inventory using the first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method.
The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with the Company's products prior to regulatory approval when, based on management's judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed. The determination to capitalize inventory costs is based on various factors, including status and expectations of the regulatory approval process, any known safety or efficacy concerns, potential labeling restrictions, and any other impediments to obtaining regulatory approval.
The Company periodically analyzes its inventory levels to identify inventory that may expire prior to expected sale or has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value, and writes down such inventories as appropriate. In addition, the Company's products are subject to strict quality control and monitoring which the Company performs throughout the manufacturing process. If certain batches or units of product no longer meet quality specifications or become obsolete due to expiration, the Company records a charge to write down such inventory to its estimated realizable value.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term. Costs of construction of certain long-lived assets include capitalized interest, which is amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized within income from operations. The estimated useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are as follows:
Building and improvements 10 – 50 years
Laboratory and other equipment 3 – 10 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Table of Contents
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease considering whether there is an identified asset and the contract conveys the right to control its use. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company may include options to extend or terminate a lease within the lease term when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. The Company accounts for lease components (e.g., rental payments) separately from non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance costs).
Lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. For leases where an implicit rate is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term.
Acquisitions
The Company makes a determination whether a transaction should be accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition. In a business combination, the acquisition method of accounting generally requires that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded as of the date of the acquisition at their respective fair values. Amounts allocated to acquired in-process research and development are capitalized as indefinite-lived intangible assets. Any excess of the purchase price (consideration transferred) over the fair values of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. In a business combination, contingent consideration obligations are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and remeasured each subsequent reporting period until the contingencies have been resolved, with any changes in fair value recorded in Other operating (income) expense, net.
If it is determined that the assets acquired do not meet the definition of a business, or if substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset, then the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition rather than a business combination. In an asset acquisition, assets acquired are recorded at cost, goodwill is not recognized, and acquired in-process research and development with no alternative future use is charged to expense.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value, while intangible assets acquired in connection with an asset acquisition are recorded at cost.
Payments to acquire intangible assets in an asset acquisition may include up-front payments and contingent consideration. With regard to contingent consideration in an asset acquisition, the Company recognizes regulatory milestones upon achievement, royalties in the period in which the underlying sales occur, and sales-based milestones when the milestone is deemed probable by the Company of being achieved. If contingent consideration is recognized subsequent to the acquisition date in an asset acquisition, the amount of such consideration is recorded as an addition to the cost basis of the intangible asset with a cumulative catch-up adjustment for amortization expense as if the additional amount of consideration had been accrued from the outset of the acquisition.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized to Cost of goods sold over the estimated useful lives of the assets based on the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed; if that pattern cannot be reliably determined, a straight-line basis is used.
Intangible assets are reviewed for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company compares the projected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the asset to the intangible asset's carrying amount. If the projected undiscounted cash flows of the intangible asset are less than the carrying amount, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value in the period in which the impairment occurs.
Product Revenue
Revenue from product sales is recognized at a point in time when the Company's customer is deemed to have obtained control of the product, which generally occurs upon receipt or acceptance by its customer.
The amount of revenue the Company recognizes from product sales may vary due to rebates, chargebacks, and discounts provided under governmental and other programs, distribution-related fees, and other sales-related deductions. In order to determine the transaction price, the Company estimates, utilizing the expected value method, the amount of variable consideration to which the Company will be entitled. This estimate is based upon contracts with customers, healthcare providers, payors, and government agencies, statutorily-defined discounts applicable to government-funded programs, historical experience, estimated payor mix,
F-11

and other relevant factors. The Company reviews its estimates of rebates, chargebacks, and other applicable provisions each period and records any necessary adjustments in the current period's net product sales.
• Rebates: The Company's rebates include amounts paid to managed care organizations, group purchasing organizations, state Medicaid programs, and other rebate programs. The Company estimates reductions to product sales for each type of rebate and records an allowance for rebates in the same period in which the related product sales are recognized. The Company's liability for rebates consists of estimates for claims related to the current and prior periods that have not been paid and estimates for claims that will be made related to product that exists in the distribution channel at the end of the period.
• Chargebacks and Discounts: The Company's reserves related to discounted pricing to eligible physicians, Veterans' Administration ("VA"), Public Health Services, and others (collectively "qualified healthcare providers") represent the Company's estimated obligations resulting from contractual commitments to sell products to qualified healthcare providers at prices lower than the list prices the Company charges to its customers (i.e., distributors and specialty pharmacies). The Company's customers charge the Company for the difference between what they pay for the products and the discounted selling price to the qualified healthcare providers. The Company estimates reductions to product sales for each type of chargeback and records an allowance for chargebacks in the same period that the related product sales are recognized. The Company's reserve for chargebacks consists of amounts for which it expects to issue credit based on expected sales by its customers to qualified healthcare providers and chargebacks that customers have claimed but for which the Company has not yet issued credit.
• Distribution-Related Fees: The Company has written contracts with its customers that include terms for distribution-related fees. The Company estimates and records distribution and related fees due to its customers generally based on gross sales.
• Other Sales-Related Deductions : The Company's other sales-related deductions include co-pay assistance programs and product returns. The Company estimates and records other sales-related deductions generally based on gross sales, written contracts, and other relevant factors.
Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers its customers a limited right to return product purchased directly from the Company, which is principally based upon the product's expiration date. Product returned is generally not resalable given the nature of the Company's products and method of administration. The Company develops estimates for product returns based upon historical experience, shelf life of the product, and other relevant factors. The Company monitors product supply levels in the distribution channel, as well as sales by its customers, using product-specific data provided by its customers. If necessary, the Company's estimates of product returns may be adjusted in the future based on actual returns experience, known or expected changes in the marketplace, or other factors.
Collaborative Arrangements
The Company has entered into various collaborative arrangements to research, develop, manufacture, and commercialize products and/or product candidates. Although each of these arrangements is unique in nature, such arrangements involve a joint operating activity where both parties are active participants in the activities of the collaboration and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activities.
In arrangements where the Company does not deem its collaborator to be its customer, payments to and from its collaborator are presented in the Company's statement of operations based on the nature of our business operations, the nature of the arrangement, including the contractual terms, and the nature of the payments. In general, the presentation of such amounts is summarized below.

Cost of goods sold
Up-front and development milestones earned (when there is a combined unit of account which includes a license and providing research and development services) Other operating income
In agreements involving multiple goods or services promised to be transferred to the Company's collaborator, the Company assesses, at the inception of the contract, whether each promise represents a separate obligation (i.e., is "distinct"), or whether such promises should be combined as a single unit of account. When the Company has a combined unit of account which includes a license and providing research and development services to its collaborator, recognition of up-front payments and development milestones earned from its collaborator is deferred (as a liability) and recognized over the development period (i.e., over time) typically using an input method on the basis of the Company's research and development costs incurred relative to the total expected cost which determines the extent of the Company's progress toward completion. The Company reviews its estimates each period and makes revisions to such estimates as necessary.
When the Company is entitled to reimbursement of all or a portion of the expenses (e.g., research and development expenses) that it incurs under a collaboration, it records those reimbursable amounts in the period in which such costs are incurred.
If the Company's collaborator performs research and development work or commercialization-related activities and the parties share the related costs, the Company also recognizes, as expense (e.g., research and development expense or selling, general, and administrative expense, as applicable) in the period when its collaborator incurs such expenses, the portion of the collaborator's expenses that the Company is obligated to reimburse. The Company's collaborators provide the Company with estimated expenses for the most recent fiscal quarter. The estimates are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual expenses differ from those estimates.
Under certain of the Company's collaboration agreements, product sales and cost of sales may be recorded by the Company's collaborators as they are deemed to be the principal in the transaction. In arrangements where the Company:
• supplies commercial product to its collaborator, the Company may be reimbursed for its manufacturing costs as commercial product is shipped to the collaborator (however, recognition of such cost reimbursements may be deferred until the product is sold by the Company's collaborator to third-party customers);
• shares in any profits or losses arising from the commercialization of such products, the Company records its share of the variable consideration, representing net product sales less cost of goods sold and shared commercialization and other expenses, in the period in which such underlying sales occur and costs are incurred by the collaborator;
• receives royalties and/or sales-based milestone payments from its collaborator, the Company recognizes such amounts in the period earned.
The Company's collaborators provide it with estimates of product sales and the Company's share of profits or losses, as applicable, for each quarter. The estimates are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if the Company's actual share of profits or losses differ from those estimates.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses include costs attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, materials, supplies, depreciation on and maintenance of research equipment,
F-13
Table of Contents
costs related to research collaboration and licensing agreements, clinical trial expenses, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, including services related to the Company's clinical trials, the cost of manufacturing drug for use in research and development, amounts that the Company is obligated to reimburse to collaborators for research and development expenses that they incur, and the allocable portions of facility costs. Costs associated with research and development are expensed.
For each clinical trial that the Company conducts, certain clinical trial costs are expensed immediately, while others are expensed over time based on the expected total number of patients in the trial, the rate at which patients enter and remain in the trial, and/or the period over which clinical investigators, contract research organizations ("CROs"), or other third-party service providers are expected to provide services. In the event of early termination of a clinical trial, the Company accrues and recognizes expenses in an amount based on its estimate of the remaining noncancelable obligations associated with the winding-down of the clinical trial, including any applicable penalties.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for equity grants under the Company's long-term incentive plans (including stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units (both time-based and performance-based)) to employees and non-employee members of the Company's board of directors (as applicable) based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The grant-date fair value of an award is generally recognized as compensation expense over the award's requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense also includes an estimate, which is made at the time of grant, of the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited. This estimate is revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In addition, the Company reassesses its forfeiture rate assumptions at least annually, considering both historical forfeiture experience and an estimate of future forfeitures for currently outstanding unvested awards.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to compute the estimated fair value of stock option awards. Additionally, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation to compute the estimated fair value of performance-based restricted stock units that are subject to vesting based on the Company’s attainment of pre-established criteria that include a market condition.
For performance-based restricted stock units that contain a performance condition, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense if and when the Company determines that it is probable the performance condition will be achieved (based on the number of shares expected to be vested and issued). The Company reassesses the probability of achievement at each reporting period and adjusts compensation cost, as necessary. If there are any changes in the Company's probability assessment, the Company recognizes a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of the change in estimate, with the remaining unrecognized expense recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. If the Company subsequently determines that the performance criteria are not met or are not expected to be met, any amounts previously recognized as compensation expense are reversed in the period when such determination is made.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes includes U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns, including deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected amounts of global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") inclusions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined as the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts ("temporary differences") at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when management's assessment is that there is more than a 50% probability that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based upon its technical merits. Uncertain tax positions are recorded based upon certain recognition and measurement criteria. The Company re-evaluates uncertain tax positions and considers various factors, including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, information obtained during in-process audit activities, and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. The Company adjusts the amount of the liability to reflect any subsequent changes in the relevant facts and circumstances surrounding the uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Per Share Data
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding. Net income per share is presented on a combined basis, inclusive of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding, as each class of stock has equivalent economic rights. Basic net income per share excludes restricted stock until vested. Diluted net income per share includes the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents as if such securities were converted or exercised during the period, when the effect is dilutive. Common stock equivalents include outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock under the Company's long-term incentive plans, which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures .

(a) As described within the " Immuno-Oncology " section below, effective July 1, 2022, the Company obtained the exclusive right to develop, commercialize, and manufacture Libtayo worldwide.
Antibody
The Company is party to a global, strategic collaboration with Sanofi to research, develop, and commercialize fully human monoclonal antibodies (the "Antibody Collaboration"), which currently consists of Dupixent ® (dupilumab), Kevzara ® (sarilumab), and itepekimab .
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. The Company is obligated to reimburse Sanofi for 30 % to 50 % of worldwide development expenses that were funded by Sanofi based on the Company's share of collaboration profits from commercialization of collaboration products. Under the terms of the LCA, the Company was required to apply 10 % of its 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 the Company's share of profits used to reimburse Sanofi for such development costs increased from 10 % to 20 %. A portion of the value associated with the increase in reimbursement percentage was deemed to be contingent consideration attributable to the Company's acquisition of the Libtayo (cemiplimab) rights described within the " Immuno-Oncology " section below; this portion is recorded as an increase to the Libtayo intangible asset over time as the Company repays such development costs to Sanofi. The Company's contingent reimbursement obligation to Sanofi under the Antibody Collaboration was approximately $ 2.330 billion as of December 31, 2023.
F-17
Table of Contents
Sanofi leads commercialization activities for products under the Antibody Collaboration, subject to the Company's right to co-commercialize such products. The Company co-commercializes Dupixent in the United States and in certain countries outside the United States. The parties equally share profits from sales within the United States. The parties share profits outside the United States on a sliding scale based on sales starting at 65 % (Sanofi)/ 35 % (Regeneron) and ending at 55 % (Sanofi)/ 45 % (Regeneron).
In addition to profit sharing, the Company was entitled to receive sales milestone payments from Sanofi. In 2023, the Company earned the final $ 50.0 million sales-based milestone from Sanofi, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent, which was previously included in the LCA) exceeding $ 3.0 billion on a rolling twelve-month basis. In 2022, the Company earned two $ 50.0 million sales-based milestones from Sanofi, 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. In 2021, the Company earned a $ 50.0 million sales-based milestone from Sanofi, upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States (including Praluent) exceeding $ 1.5 billion, on a rolling twelve-month basis.
The Company's significant promised goods and services in connection with the Antibody Collaboration consist of providing research and development services, including the manufacturing of clinical supplies, and providing commercial-related services, including the manufacturing of commercial supplies. The Company recognizes amounts in connection with the Antibody Collaboration based on the amount it has the right to invoice and such amount corresponds directly with the Company's performance to date.
The following table summarizes contract balances in connection with the Company's Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi:

Immuno-Oncology
The Company was previously a party to a collaboration with Sanofi for antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology (the "IO Collaboration"). The IO Collaboration was governed by an Amended and Restated Immuno-oncology Discovery and Development Agreement ("Amended IO Discovery Agreement"), and an Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement ("IO License and Collaboration Agreement"). In connection with the execution of the original Immuno-oncology Discovery and Development Agreement in 2015 ("2015 IO Discovery Agreement"), which was subsequently replaced by the Amended IO Discovery Agreement (as discussed below), Sanofi made a $ 265.0 million non-refundable up-front payment to the Company. Pursuant to the 2015 IO Discovery Agreement, the Company was to identify and validate potential immuno-oncology targets and develop therapeutic antibodies against such targets through clinical proof-of-concept.
Effective December 31, 2018, the Company and Sanofi entered into the Amended IO Discovery Agreement, which narrowed the scope of the existing discovery and development activities conducted by the Company under the 2015 IO Discovery Agreement to developing therapeutic bispecific antibodies targeting (i) BCMA and CD3 and (ii) MUC16 and CD3 through clinical proof-of-concept. During 2021, Sanofi did not exercise its options to license rights to these product candidates; as a result, the Company retains the exclusive right to develop and commercialize such product candidates and Sanofi will receive a royalty on sales (if any). In addition, the Company has no further obligations to develop drug product candidates under the Amended IO Discovery Agreement.
In connection with the execution of the IO License and Collaboration Agreement in 2015, Sanofi made a $ 375.0 million non-refundable up-front payment to the Company. Under the terms of the IO 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. The Company had principal control over the development of Libtayo and led commercialization activities in the United States, while Sanofi led commercialization activities outside the United States. The parties shared equally in profits and losses in connection with the commercialization of Libtayo.
Recognition of the up-front payments received from Sanofi had been deferred (recorded within Other liabilities), and such amounts were being recognized over the remaining period in which the Company was obligated to perform development activities. During 2021, the Company updated its estimate of the total research and development costs expected to be incurred (which resulted in a change to the estimate of the stage of completion) in connection with the IO Collaboration, and, as a result, recorded a cumulative catch-up adjustment of $ 66.9 million as a reduction to other operating income.

In connection with the Amended and Restated Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement with Sanofi (the "A&R IO LCA") described below, the remaining IO Collaboration Other liabilities balance of $ 241.0 million as of July 1, 2022 was recognized as a reduction to the intangible asset recorded in connection with the transaction during 2022.
Effective July 1, 2022, the Company obtained the exclusive right to develop, commercialize, and manufacture Libtayo worldwide under 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 was eligible to earn an aggregate of $ 100.0 million in Libtayo sales-based milestones under the terms of the A&R IO LCA, of which they earned $ 65.0 million in 2022 and $ 35.0 million in 2023. The Company also pays Sanofi an 11 % royalty on net product sales of Libtayo through March 31, 2034. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and amounts paid to Sanofi in connection with obtaining the worldwide rights to Libtayo, including the up-front payment and any contingent consideration, are recorded as an intangible asset. See Note 8 for additional information related to the intangible asset.
In accordance with the Amended IO Discovery Agreement, the Company was obligated to reimburse Sanofi for half of the development costs it funded that were attributable to clinical development of product candidates from the Company's 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 the Company was obligated to reimburse Sanofi was $ 35.0 million as of the effective date of the A&R IO LCA, and the Company pays Sanofi a 0.5 % royalty on net product sales of Libtayo until all such development costs have been reimbursed by Regeneron. The Company's contingent reimbursement obligation to Sanofi under the A&R IO LCA was approximately $ 28 million as of December 31, 2023.

In 2016, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. to advance CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology for in vivo therapeutic development. The parties collaborate to conduct research for the discovery, development, and commercialization of new therapies, in addition to the research and technology development of the CRISPR/Cas9 platform.
Under the terms of the 2016 agreement, the parties agreed to a target selection process, whereby the Company may obtain exclusive rights in up to 10 targets to be chosen by the Company during the collaboration term, subject to various adjustments and limitations set forth in the agreement. Certain targets that either the Company or Intellia selects may be subject to a co-development and co-commercialization arrangement at the Company's option or Intellia’s option, as applicable. 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, the Company expanded its existing collaboration with Intellia to provide the Company with rights to develop products for additional in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-based therapeutic targets and for the parties to jointly develop potential products for the treatment of hemophilia A and B, with Regeneron leading development and commercialization activities. In addition, the Company also received non-exclusive rights to independently develop and commercialize ex vivo gene edited products. In connection with the agreement, in 2020, the Company made a $ 70.0 million up-front payment.
In September 2023, the Company further expanded its existing collaboration to develop additional in vivo CRISPR-based gene editing therapies focused on neurological and muscular diseases. Intellia will lead the design of the editing methodology, the Company will lead the design of the targeted viral vector delivery approach, and the parties share costs equally. Each company will have the opportunity to lead potential development and commercialization of product candidates for one target, and the company that is not leading development and commercialization will have the option to enter into a co-development and co-commercialization agreement for the target.
In October 2023, the Company elected to extend the period for selecting targets under the 2016 license and collaboration agreement for an additional two years until April 2026; as a result, the Company became obligated to make a $ 30.0 million extension payment to Intellia (which was recorded to Acquired in-process research and development expense in 2023).

11. Leases
The Company conducts certain of its research, development, and administrative activities at leased facilities. The Company also leases vehicles and other assets.
Tarrytown, New York Lease
The Company is party to a Third Amended and Restated Lease and Remedies Agreement (the "Third Amended and Restated Lease") with BA Leasing BSC, LLC, an affiliate of Banc of America Leasing & Capital, LLC ("BAL"), as lessor, which relates to the Company’s lease of laboratory and office facilities in Tarrytown, New York (the “Facility”); and a Third Amended and Restated Participation Agreement (the "Third Amended and Restated Participation Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), and a syndicate of lenders (collectively with BAL, the "Participants"), as rent assignees. The Third Amended and Restated Lease and Third Amended and Restated Participation Agreement provide for a March 2027 maturity date of the $ 720.0 million lease financing (previously advanced by the Participants in March 2017 in connection with the acquisition by BAL of the Facility and the Company's lease of the Facility from BAL) and the end of the term
F-29
Table of Contents
of the Company's lease of the Facility from BAL, at which time all amounts outstanding thereunder will become due and payable in full.
In accordance with the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Lease, the Company pays all maintenance, insurance, taxes, and other costs arising out of the use of the Facility. The Company is also required to make monthly payments of basic rent during the remaining term of the Third Amended and Restated Lease to satisfy the yield payable to the Participants on their outstanding advances under the Third Amended and Restated Participation Agreement. Such advances accrue yield at a variable rate per annum based on the one-month forward-looking Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") term rate, plus a spread adjustment, plus an applicable margin that varies with the Company's debt rating and total leverage ratio.
The Third Amended and Restated Participation Agreement and Third Amended and Restated Lease include an option for the Company to elect to further extend the maturity date of the Third Amended and Restated Participation Agreement and the term of the Third Amended and Restated Lease for an additional five-year period, subject to the consent of all the Participants and certain other conditions. The Company also has the option prior to the end of the term of the Third Amended and Restated Lease to (a) purchase the Facility by paying an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Participants' advances under the Third Amended and Restated Participation Agreement, all accrued and unpaid yield thereon, and all other outstanding amounts under the Third Amended and Restated Participation Agreement, Third Amended and Restated Lease, and certain related documents or (b) sell the Facility to a third party on behalf of BAL.
The Third Amended and Restated Lease is classified as a finance lease as the Company has the option to purchase the Facility under terms that make it reasonably certain to be exercised. The agreements governing the Third Amended and Restated Lease financing contain financial and operating covenants. Such financial covenants and certain of the operating covenants are substantially similar to the covenants set forth in the 2022 Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2023.

13. Long-Term Incentive Plans
The Company has used long-term incentive plans for the purpose of granting equity awards to employees of the Company, including officers, and non-employee members of the Company's board of directors (collectively, "Participants"). The Participants may receive awards as determined by a committee of independent members of the Company's board of directors or, to the extent authorized by such committee with respect to certain Participants, a duly authorized employee (collectively, the "Committee"). The incentive plan currently used by the Company is the Second Amended and Restated Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Second Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan"). It was most recently adopted and approved by the Company's shareholders in 2020. As of the most recent shareholder approval date, the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan provided for the issuance of up to 22.3 million shares of Common Stock in respect of awards. In addition, upon expiration, forfeiture, surrender, exchange, cancellation, or termination of any award previously granted under the Amended and Restated Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan"), the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Original 2014 Incentive Plan"), or the Second Amended and Restated 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2000 Incentive Plan"), any shares subject to such award are added to the pool of shares available for grant under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan.
The awards that may be made under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan include: (a) non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options, (b) restricted stock awards, (c) shares of phantom stock (also referred to as restricted stock units, which may be time- or performance-based), and (d) other awards. Any award granted may (but is not required to) be subject to vesting based on the attainment by the Company of performance goals pre-established by the Committee.
F-32
Table of Contents
Stock option awards grant Participants the right to purchase shares of Common Stock at prices determined by the Committee, with exercise prices that are equal to or greater than the average of the high and low market prices of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant (the "Market Price"). Options vest over a period of time determined by the Committee, generally on a pro rata basis over a four-year period. The Committee also determines the expiration date of each option. The maximum term of options that have been awarded under the 2000 Incentive Plan, the Original 2014 Incentive Plan, the Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan, and the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan (collectively, the "Incentive Plans") is ten years .
Restricted stock awards grant Participants shares of restricted Common Stock or allow Participants to purchase such shares at a price determined by the Committee. Such shares are nontransferable for a period determined by the Committee ("vesting period"). Should employment terminate, as specified in the Incentive Plans, except as determined by the Committee in its discretion and subject to the applicable Incentive Plan documents, the ownership of any unvested restricted stock awards will be transferred to the Company.
Phantom stock awards provide the Participant the right to receive Common Stock or an amount of cash based on the value of the Common Stock at a future date. The award is subject to such restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose at the date of grant or thereafter, including a specified period of employment or the achievement of performance goals. Time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units are each a type of phantom stock award permitted under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan.
The Incentive Plans contain provisions that allow for the Committee to provide for the immediate vesting of awards upon a change in control of the Company, as defined in the Incentive Plans.
As of December 31, 2023, there were 14.6 million shares available for future grants under the Second Amended and Restated 2014 Incentive Plan.

For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company recognized $ 357.1 million, $ 341.9 million, and $ 328.7 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards (net of amounts capitalized as inventory, which were not material for each of the three years). As of December 31, 2023, there was $ 589.6 million of stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock options, net of estimated forfeitures, which had not yet been recognized. The Company expects to recognize this compensation cost over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Fair Value Assumptions:
The following table summarizes the weighted average values of the assumptions used in computing the fair value of option grants during 2023, 2022, and 2021.
2023 2022 2021
Expected volatility 26 % 28 % 27 %
Expected lives from grant date 5.1 years 5.2 years 5.5 years
Expected dividend yield 0 % 0 % 0 %
Risk-free interest rate 4.29 % 3.50 % 1.22 %
Expected volatility has been estimated based on actual movements in the Company's stock price over the most recent historical periods equivalent to the options' expected lives. Expected lives are principally based on the Company's historical exercise experience with previously issued employee and board of directors' option grants. The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has never paid dividends and does not currently have plans to do so. The risk-free interest rates are based on quoted U.S. Treasury rates for securities with maturities approximating the options' expected lives.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

The Company's federal income tax returns for 2017 through 2022 remain open to examination by the IRS. The Company's 2017 and 2018 federal income tax returns are currently under audit by the IRS. In general, the Company's state income tax returns from 2018 to 2022 remain open to examination. The Company's income tax returns outside the United States remain open to examination from 2018 to 2022. The United States and many states generally have statutes of limitation ranging from 3 to 5 years; however, those statutes could be extended due to the Company's tax credit carryforward position. In general, tax authorities have the ability to review income tax returns in which the statute of limitation has previously expired to adjust the tax credits generated in those years.
The following table reconciles the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits:
(In millions) 2023 2022 2021
Balance as of January 1 $ 542.8 $ 410.9 $ 267.0
Gross increases related to current year tax positions 153.4 136.9 182.3
Gross increases (decreases) related to prior year tax positions

Gross decreases due to settlements and lapse of statutes of limitations ( 3.0 ) — ( 41.3 )
Balance as of December 31 $ 696.4 $ 542.8 $ 410.9
In 2023, 2022, and 2021, the increases in unrecognized tax benefits primarily related to the Company's calculation of certain tax credits and other items related to the Company's international operations. In 2021, the decrease in unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements and lapse of statutes of limitations was related to the closing of audits for the Company's federal income tax returns for 2015 and 2016. Interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits was not material in 2023, 2022, and 2021. The Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the resolution of tax exposures within the next twelve months would have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023.
The amount of net unrecognized tax benefits that, if settled, would impact the effective tax rate is $ 442.5 million, $ 373.7 million, and $ 321.1 million as of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was signed into law in the United States. The IRA created a new corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% on adjusted financial statement income and an excise tax of 1% of the value of certain stock repurchases. The provisions of the IRA became effective for periods beginning after December 31, 2022. The IRA did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

16. Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings in the course of the Company's business. The outcome of any such proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. If the Company were unable to prevail in any such proceedings, its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and future cash flows may be materially impacted. Costs associated with the Company's involvement in legal proceedings are expensed as incurred . The Company recognizes accruals for loss contingencies associated with such proceedings when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company's accruals for loss contingencies were not material. There are certain loss contingencies that the Company deems reasonably possible for which the possible loss or range of possible loss is not estimable at this time.
Proceedings Relating to Praluent (alirocumab) Injection
As described below, the Company is currently a party to patent infringement actions initiated by Amgen Inc. (and/or its affiliated entities) against the Company and/or Sanofi (and/or the Company's and Sanofi's respective affiliated entities) in a number of jurisdictions relating to Praluent. In addition, as described below, the Company filed a lawsuit against Amgen alleging that Amgen engaged in an anticompetitive bundling scheme which was designed to exclude Praluent from the market in violation of U.S. federal and state laws.
United States
In the United States, Amgen asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,829,165 (the "'165 Patent") and 8,859,741 (the "'741 Patent"), and sought a permanent injunction to prevent the Company and the Sanofi defendants from commercial manufacturing, using, offering to sell, or selling within the United States (as well as importing into the United States) Praluent. Amgen also sought a judgment of patent infringement of the asserted patents, monetary damages (together with interest), costs and expenses of the lawsuits, and attorneys' fees. As previously reported, on February 11, 2021, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the "Federal Circuit") affirmed the lower court's decision that certain of Amgen's asserted patent claims are invalid based on lack of enablement. On April 14, 2021, Amgen filed a petition for a rehearing en banc with the Federal Circuit, which was denied on June 21, 2021. On November 4, 2022, the United States Supreme Court granted Amgen's petition for writ of certiorari. An oral hearing was held on March 27, 2023. On May 28, 2023, the United States Supreme Court affirmed the Federal Circuit's decision that certain of Amgen's asserted patent claims are invalid based on lack of enablement.
On May 27, 2022, the Company filed a lawsuit against Amgen in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that, beginning in 2020, Amgen engaged in an anticompetitive bundling scheme which was designed to exclude Praluent from the market in violation of federal and state laws. The lawsuit seeks damages for harm caused by the alleged scheme, as well as injunctive relief restraining Amgen from continuing its alleged anticompetitive conduct. On August 1, 2022, Amgen filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On August 11, 2022, Amgen filed a motion to stay these proceedings pending resolution of the patent litigation described in the preceding paragraph. An oral hearing on Amgen's motion to dismiss and motion to stay was held on January 6, 2023. On February 10, 2023, the court denied Amgen's motion to stay; and on March 21, 2023, the court denied Amgen's motion to dismiss. On August 28, 2023, the Company filed an amended complaint in this matter; and, as part of its response, on September 20, 2023, Amgen filed a counterclaim alleging that the Company engaged in unfair business practices in violation of state law. A trial has been scheduled to begin in November 2024.

Europe
Amgen has asserted European Patent No. 2,215,124 (the "'124 Patent"), which pertains to PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies, in certain countries in Europe. In October 2020, the '124 Patent claims directed to compositions of matter and medical use relevant to Praluent were ruled invalid based on a lack of inventive step by the Technical Board of Appeal (the "TBA") of the European Patent Office (the "EPO"). Following the EPO's decision, each of the '124 Patent infringement proceedings initiated by Amgen against the Company and certain of Sanofi's affiliated entities in these countries was dismissed, including in Germany. The dismissal in Germany followed an earlier finding of infringement and granting of an injunction, both of which were subsequently overturned. As a result of the overturned injunction in Germany, the Company and/or certain of Sanofi's affiliated entities are seeking damages caused by Amgen's enforcement of the injunction. An oral hearing has been scheduled for February 28, 2024. As part of its opposition to these damages claims, on March 23, 2022, Amgen filed a counterclaim that asserted the German designation of European Patent No. 2,641,917 (the "'917 Patent") and seeks, among other things, a judgment of patent infringement, injunctive relief, and monetary damages. The '917 Patent is a divisional patent of the '124 Patent discussed above (i.e., a patent that shares the same priority date, disclosure, and patent term of the parent '124 Patent but contains claims to a different invention). An oral hearing before the Munich Regional Court was held on November 29, 2023, at which Amgen's counterclaim was dismissed. The '917 Patent is also subject to opposition proceedings in the EPO, which were initiated by Sanofi on May 5, 2021. An oral hearing before the EPO was held on February 21, 2023, at which the '917 Patent was revoked. Amgen filed a notice to appeal to the TBA of the EPO on February 27, 2023.
On June 1, 2023, Amgen filed a lawsuit against the Company and certain of Sanofi's affiliated entities in the Munich Local Division of the Unified Patent Court (the "UPC") alleging infringement of Amgen's European Patent No. 3,666,797 (the "'797 Patent"). The lawsuit seeks, among other things, a permanent injunction in several countries in Europe and monetary damages. The '797 Patent is a divisional patent of the '124 Patent discussed above. A trial has been scheduled for October 16–17, 2024. Also on June 1, 2023, Sanofi filed an action in the Munich Central Division of the UPC seeking revocation of the '797 Patent. A trial has been scheduled for June 4–5, 2024.

U.S. Patent Litigation
On August 2, 2022, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Mylan, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viatris Inc., in the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia alleging that Mylan's filing for FDA approval of an aflibercept 2 mg biosimilar infringes certain Company patents. On April 20, 2023, Mylan filed a motion for summary judgment or partial summary judgment concerning four of the asserted patents. On April 26, 2023, the Company filed a stipulation accepting summary judgment of noninfringement of all asserted claims of the Company's U.S. Patent No. 11,104,715. On June 5, 2023, Biocon, as successor-in-interest to the aflibercept 2 mg biosimilar, was joined as a defendant to the lawsuit.

Closing arguments were presented on August 3, 2023. On December 27, 2023, the court issued a decision finding that (i) the asserted claims of the '865 Patent were valid and infringed by Mylan and (ii) the asserted claims of the '601 and '572 Patents were infringed by Mylan but were invalid as obvious.

lawsuits, and attorneys' fees. On November 7, 2022, the Company and Novartis entered into a stipulation staying the lawsuit in light of the decision in the IPR proceeding discussed below.
On July 16, 2020, the Company initiated two IPR petitions in the USPTO seeking a declaration of invalidity of the '631 Patent on two separate grounds. On October 26, 2021, the USPTO issued a decision instituting the IPR proceeding. An oral hearing was held on July 21, 2022.

On December 23, 2022, Novartis filed a notice of appeal of the PTAB's decision to the Federal Circuit.
On July 17, 2020, the Company filed an antitrust lawsuit against Novartis and Vetter Pharma International Gmbh ("Vetter") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking a declaration that the '631 Patent is unenforceable and a judgment that the defendants' conduct violates Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, as amended (the "Sherman Antitrust Act").

On July 16, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which motion was denied on March 2, 2022. On September 18, 2023, the parties entered into a stipulation that narrowed the case to (i) whether any safe harbor defense under federal law applies to Regeneron's use of the invention covered, based on the court's claim construction, by the '221 Patent; (ii) damages for any use by Regeneron found to not be covered by such safe harbor defense; and (iii) whether any use referred to in clause (ii) above was willful.

Proceedings Relating to Shareholder Derivative Complaint
On June 29, 2021, an alleged shareholder filed a shareholder derivative complaint in the New York Supreme Court, naming the current and certain former members of the Company's board of directors and certain current and former executive officers of the Company as defendants and Regeneron as a nominal defendant. The complaint asserts that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties in relation to the allegations in the civil complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts discussed under "Department of Justice Matters" above. The complaint seeks an award of damages allegedly sustained by the Company; an order requiring Regeneron to take all necessary actions to reform and improve its corporate governance and internal procedures; disgorgement from the individual defendants of all profits and benefits obtained by them resulting from their sales of Regeneron stock; and costs and disbursements of the action, including attorneys' fees. On July 28, 2021, the defendants filed a notice of removal, removing the case from the New York Supreme Court to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 23, 2021, the plaintiff moved to remand the case to the New York Supreme Court. Also on September 23, 2021, the individual defendants moved to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. On December 19, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York denied the plaintiff's motion to remand the case and granted a motion to stay the case pending resolution of the proceedings before the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts discussed under "Department of Justice Matters" above. As a result of the stay, the court also terminated the Company's motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice. The Company can therefore renew the motion to dismiss upon conclusion of the stay.
