| (DKK million) | Guidance | |

| Operating expenses | (9,800) - (10,600) | |
| Operating profit | 3,900 - 6,200* |
* Operating profit does not sum due to rounding
Genmab is maintaining its 2023 financial guidance published on February 22, 2023.
Genmab expects its 2023 revenue to be in the range of DKK 14,600 - 16,100 million, compared to DKK 14,595 million in 2022. Our revenue in 2022 was driven primarily by DARZALEX royalties due to the continued strong growth of DARZALEX net sales, favorable exchange rate movements between the USD and DKK and the positive impact of applying the DARZALEX contractual annual Currency Hedge Rate.
Genmab's projected revenue growth for 2023 is driven by recurring revenues related to DARZALEX, TEPEZZA and Kesimpta royalties from net sales growth, partly offset by negative exchange rate movements between the USD and DKK due to a lower assumed USD/DKK exchange rate.
Genmab's projected revenue for 2023 primarily consists of DARZALEX royalties of DKK 10,400 - 11,100 million. Such royalties are based on estimated DARZALEX 2023 net sales of USD 9.4 - 10.0 billion compared to actual net sales in 2022 of approximately USD 8.0 billion. DARZALEX royalties are partly offset by Genmab's share of Janssen's royalty payments to Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Halozyme) in connection with SC net sales. The remainder of Genmab's revenue consists of increasing royalties from TEPEZZA, Kesimpta, RYBREVANT and TECVAYLI , reimbursement revenue, milestones including those for epcoritamab and collaboration revenue with Seagen Inc. (Seagen) for Tivdak.
Genmab anticipates its 2023 operating expenses to be in the range of DKK 9,800 - 10,600 million, compared to DKK 8,238 million in 2022. The growth in operating expenses is to support Genmab's continued portfolio advancement and investing for future product launches, including epcoritamab.
Genmab expects our operating profit to be in the range of DKK 3,900 - 6,200 million in 2023, compared to DKK 6,357 million in 2022.
Outlook: Risks and Assumptions
In addition to factors already mentioned, the estimates above are subject to change due to numerous reasons, including but not limited to, the achievement of certain milestones associated with Genmab's collaboration agreements; the timing and variation of development activities (including activities carried out by Genmab's collaboration partners) and related income and costs; DARZALEX, DARZALEX FASPRO, Kesimpta, TEPEZZA, RYBREVANT and TECVAYLI net sales and royalties paid to Genmab; changing rates of inflation; and currency exchange rates (the 2023 guidance assumes a USD / DKK exchange rate of 6.8). The financial guidance assumes that no significant new agreements are entered into during the remainder of 2023 that could materially affect the results. Refer to the section "Significant Risks and Uncertainties" in this interim report. Additionally, depending on trends related to the

Interim Report for the First Quarter of 2023
coronavirus and future variants, the COVID-19 pandemic could potentially have a material adverse impact on Genmab's business and financial performance, including clinical trials, projected regulatory approval timelines, supply chain and revenues, and cause Genmab's actual results to differ materially from 2023 Guidance and Key 2023 Priorities in this interim report.
While global health authorities and global vaccination efforts alleviated some of the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, should the global outbreak of COVID-19 once again become more prevalent, it may have long-term impacts on the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of Genmab's investigational medicines and on net sales of approved medicines created by Genmab or that leverage Genmab's DuoBody technology, which are developed and marketed by Genmab or Genmab's collaboration partners. The factors discussed above, as well as other factors that are currently unforeseeable, may result in further and other unforeseen material adverse impacts on Genmab's business and financial performance, including on the sales of Tivdak and on the net sales of DARZALEX, Kesimpta, TEPEZZA, RYBREVANT and TECVAYLI by Genmab's collaboration partners and on Genmab's royalties, collaboration revenue and milestone revenue therefrom.
