Genmab Announces Financial Results for the First Half of 2023
August 3, 2023 Copenhagen, Denmark;
Interim Report for the First Six Months Ended June 30, 2023
The U.S. FDA approval of EPKINLY as the first bispecific antibody to treat adults with relapsed or refractory DLBCL was an important milestone both for Genmab and for patients in need of an innovative treatment option administered subcutaneously. We would like to thank the patients and investigators who took part in the EPCORE NHL-1 trial that was the basis of this approval, as well as the unstoppable team at Genmab responsible for the discovery, development and now commercialization of EPKINLY. We also thank our partners at AbbVie for their excellent collaboration as we work together to bring EPKINLY to cancer patients, said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.

Genmab Announces Financial Results for the First Half of 2023
As announced in Company Announcement No. 36, Genmab updated its 2023 financial guidance driven by the continued strong growth of DARZALEX net sales and higher total royalty revenues from DARZALEX and other marketed products, partly offset by increased and accelerated investment for epcoritamab clinical trials and progression of other pipeline products.

* Operating profit does not sum due to rounding
As previously announced on July 28, 2023, Genmab updated its 2023 financial guidance driven by the continued strong growth of DARZALEX net sales and higher total royalty revenues from DARZALEX and other marketed products, partly offset by increased and accelerated investment for epcoritamab clinical trials and progression of other pipeline products.
Genmab expects its 2023 revenue to be in the range of DKK 15,500 16,500 million, an increase to the previous guidance of DKK 14,600 16,100 million, driven by the continued strong growth of DARZALEX net sales and higher total royalty revenues from DARZALEX and other marketed products. DARZALEX royalties are based on Genmab's revised estimate of DARZALEX 2023 net sales of USD 9.8 10.0 billion compared to Genmab's previous estimate of USD 9.4 10.0 billion.
Genmab anticipates its 2023 operating expenses to be in the range of DKK 10,400 10,900 million, an increase to the previous guidance of DKK 9,800 10,600 million, primarily related to increased and accelerated investment for epcoritamab clinical trials and progression of other pipeline products.
Genmab now expects its 2023 operating profit to be in the range of DKK 4,500 6,000 million, compared to the previous guidance of DKK 3,900 6,200 million, driven primarily by the items described above.
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 for matters that may cause Genmab's actual results to differ materially from 2023 Guidance and Key 2023 Priorities in this interim report.
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 EPKINLY, 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.

PRODUCT PIPELINE AND TECHNOLOGY PROGRESS FIRST HALF OF 2023
At the end of the first half of 2023, Genmab's proprietary pipeline of investigational medicines, where we are responsible for at least 50% of development, consisted of nine antibodies in clinical development. These include Genmab's U.S. FDA approved medicines, Tivdak, which Genmab is co-developing globally and co-promoting in the U.S. in collaboration with Seagen and EPKINLY, which Genmab is co-developing and co-commercializing in collaboration with AbbVie. In addition to our own pipeline, there are multiple investigational medicines in development by global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including five approved medicines powered by Genmab's technology and innovations. Beyond the investigational medicines in clinical development, our pipeline also includes multiple pre-clinical programs. An overview of the development status of our approved medicines and of each of our investigational medicines is provided in the following section, including updates for the second quarter of 2023. For events that occurred during the first quarter of 2023, please refer to Genmab's Q1 2023 report. Detailed descriptions of dosing, efficacy and safety data from certain clinical trials have been disclosed in company announcements and media releases published via the Nasdaq Copenhagen A/S (Nasdaq Copenhagen) stock exchange and may also be found in Genmab's filings with the U.S. Securities and

Interim Report for the First Half of 2023
Epcoritamab is a proprietary bispecific antibody created using Genmab's DuoBody technology platform. Epcoritamab targets CD3, which is expressed on T-cells, and CD20, a clinically validated target on malignant B-cells. Genmab used technology licensed from Medarex to generate the CD20 antibody forming part of epcoritamab. Epcoritamab-bysp, marketed as EPKINLY, is the first U.S. FDA approved bispecific for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory DLBCL, NOS, including DLBCL arising from indolent lymphoma, and high-grade B cell lymphoma, after two or more lines of systemic therapy. In 2020, Genmab entered into a collaboration agreement with AbbVie to jointly develop and commercialize epcoritamab. The companies share commercial responsibilities in the U.S. and pending approval, will share commercial responsibilities in Japan, with AbbVie responsible for further global commercialization. Genmab will record sales in the U.S. and Japan and receive tiered royalties on remaining global sales outside of these territories. The companies have a broad clinical development program for epcoritamab including three ongoing Phase 3 trials and additional trials in planning.
