Table of Contents
The table below includes net product sales of Regeneron-discovered products. Such net product sales are recorded by us or others, as further described in the footnotes to the table. We believe the information in the table is useful to investors as it demonstrates our pipeline productivity and our ability to innovate, discover, and develop new products, and bring those products to market either alone or based on contractual arrangements with other parties, which has a direct impact on our results of operations and financial condition. The table also shows the degree to which we, a collaborator, and/or a licensee is currently commercializing the products discovered by Regeneron. In addition, this information allows management and investors to assess the commercial trends and developments impacting Regeneron-discovered products. In arrangements where our collaborator or licensee is currently commercializing such products and is recording net product sales as a result, the net product sales shown in the table also are an important metric for management's review and assessment of (i) the revenues we record for our share of profits and/or royalties from such sales and (ii) the impact of our obligation to supply commercial product to certain of these collaborators or licensees.

Additional Information - Clinical Development Programs
Linvoseltamab
In August 2024, the FDA issued a CRL for the BLA for linvoseltamab in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma that has progressed after at least three prior therapies. The sole approvability issue identified is related to findings from a pre-approval inspection at a third-party fill/finish manufacturer. Resolution of this issue will be required for both FDA and EC regulatory approvals.
Dupixent
In September 2024, the Company and Sanofi announced that the first Phase 3 trial (Study A) of Dupixent in adults with uncontrolled and severe CPUO did not achieve statistical significance in its primary itch responder endpoint (despite favorable numerical improvements), but showed nominally significant improvements in all other itch endpoints. The Dupixent Phase 3 program in CPUO consists of Study A and Study B. Study B is planned to initiate as a subsequent pivotal trial.
Early-Stage Clinical Development Updates
In 2024, a Phase 1 study of linvoseltamab, in combination with dupilumab, in severe food allergy was initiated.
A Phase 1/2 study of DB-OTO, an AAV-based gene therapy, in children with profound genetic hearing loss due to mutations of the otoferlin gene is ongoing. In May 2024, we presented updated data from the Phase 1/2 trial at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy ("ASGCT") annual conference and announced that DB-OTO improved hearing to normal levels in one child and that initial hearing improvements were observed in a second child. Additionally, the FDA granted DB-OTO Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy ("RMAT") designation.
In 2024, a Phase 1 combination cohort of nezastomig and REGN4336 (bispecific antibody targeting PSMA and CD3) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer was initiated.
Collaboration, License, and Other Agreements
Sanofi
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 Collaboration, 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; however, we are only required to apply 20% of our share of profits from the collaboration each calendar quarter to reimburse Sanofi for these development expenses. As of September 30, 2024, the total amount of our contingent reimbursement obligation to Sanofi (i.e., "development balance") in connection with such development expenses was approximately $1.810 billion.
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 from sales within the United States, and 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).
Bayer
We and Bayer are parties to a license and collaboration agreement for the global development and commercialization of EYLEA 8 mg and EYLEA 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 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
We and Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. are parties to a 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 ("CNS"), in addition to a select number of targets expressed in the liver.
We have also entered into various license agreements with Alnylam, with us as the licensee, including for cemdisiran (a small interfering RNA ("siRNA") therapeutic targeting the C5 component of the human complement pathway) as a monotherapy and for a combination consisting of cemdisiran and pozelimab.
During the second quarter of 2024, we elected to no longer co-develop ALN-APP pursuant to a co-development/co-commercialization collaboration agreement; as a result, Alnylam retains the right to develop and commercialize such product and we will receive a royalty on sales (if any).
Intellia
We and Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. are parties to a license and collaboration agreement 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 addition, we also have non-exclusive rights to independently develop and commercialize ex vivo gene edited products.
In September 2023, we expanded the license and collaboration agreement 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, we 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 addition, in October 2023, we elected to extend the period for selecting targets under the license and collaboration agreement for an additional two years until April 2026; as a result, we made a $30.0 million extension payment to Intellia.
In March 2024, Intellia elected to opt-out of further development activities pursuant to the Factor IX co-development and co-commercialization agreement; as a result, we retain the right to develop and commercialize products directed to Factor IX, and Intellia will be entitled to receive milestone payments and royalties on sales (if any).
Decibel
In 2017, we entered into an agreement with Decibel Therapeutics, Inc. to discover and develop new potential therapeutics to protect, repair and restore hearing (including DB-OTO, which is currently in clinical development, and preclinical programs for GJB2-related and stereocilin-related hearing loss).
In August 2023, we acquired Decibel by paying $101.3 million in cash (or $4.00 per share of Decibel common stock). In addition, Decibel shareholders received one non-tradeable contingent value right ("CVR") per share of Decibel common stock, entitling them to receive up to an additional $3.50 per share in cash upon achievement of certain development milestones for DB-OTO within specified time periods.
During the third quarter of 2024, a development milestone contemplated by the CVRs was achieved, and, as a result, we paid $55.1 million to the holders of the CVRs. The holders of the CVRs will be entitled to receive an additional $42.0 million if an additional milestone contemplated by the CVRs is achieved.
2seventy bio
In 2018, we entered into a collaboration agreement with bluebird bio, Inc. (which subsequently spun out 2seventy bio, Inc. in 2021) to research, develop, and commercialize novel cell therapy approaches to address cancer.
In April 2024, we acquired full development and commercialization rights to 2seventy bio's oncology and autoimmune preclinical and clinical stage cell therapy pipeline. Under the terms of the agreement, we made a $5.0 million up-front payment, and have assumed ongoing program, infrastructure, and personnel costs related to the product candidates acquired. We are obligated to pay 2seventy bio a regulatory milestone upon the first major market approval of the first approved product; and, with respect to any approved product, a low single-digit percent royalty on sales. In addition, we separately entered into sublease agreements for a portion of 2seventy bio's facilities.

General
Our ability to generate profits and to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next several years depends significantly on the success in commercializing EYLEA HD, EYLEA, and Dupixent. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our research and development activities, and our research and development activities and related costs which are not reimbursed by collaborators are expected to expand and require additional resources. We also expect to incur substantial costs related to the commercialization of our 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 products and whether or when they may become profitable.

Net Product Sales
Total EYLEA HD and EYLEA net product sales in the U.S. increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same periods in 2023. EYLEA HD was approved by the FDA in August 2023 and net product sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were driven by the transition of patients from other anti-VEGF products, including EYLEA, as well as new patients naïve to anti-VEGF therapy. Net product sales of EYLEA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 were adversely impacted by a lower net selling price compared to the same periods in 2023. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 total EYLEA HD and EYLEA net product sales were favorably impacted by approximately $40 million as a result of higher wholesaler inventory levels for EYLEA HD at the end of the third quarter of 2024 compared to the end of the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by lower wholesaler inventory levels for EYLEA.

Research and Development Expenses
The following table summarizes our 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 include 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.

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 product candidate, 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a $45.0 million development milestone in connection with our collaboration agreement with Sonoma Biotherapeutics, Inc.
Acquired IPR&D for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included a $100.0 million development milestone in connection with our collaboration agreement with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The nine months ended September 30, 2023 also included a $45.0 million up-front payment in connection with our collaboration agreement with Sonoma.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same periods in 2023, due to higher commercialization-related expenses to support our launch of EYLEA HD and higher headcount and headcount-related costs partly related to our international commercial expansion. Selling, general, and administrative expenses also included stock-based compensation expense of $83.1 million and $74.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $251.9 million and $224.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was negatively impacted by the remeasurement of existing uncertain tax positions.
Certain countries in which we have operations, including Ireland, have adopted legislation influenced by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules ("Pillar Two") framework, including a minimum tax rate of 15%. The adoption of the Pillar Two framework did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. It is uncertain whether the United States will enact legislation to adopt the Pillar Two framework. We continue to evaluate additional guidance released by the OECD, along with the pending legislative adoption by additional individual countries.

In April 2024, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to an additional $3.0 billion of our Common Stock. The share repurchase program permits the Company to make repurchases through a variety of methods, including open-market transactions (including pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act), privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchases, block trades, and other transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. Repurchases may be made from time to time at management's discretion, and the timing and amount of any such repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The program has no time limit and can be discontinued at any time. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of shares of any repurchases in the future.
