Recent Events

•AbbVie announced the European Commission (EC) granted marketing authorization for Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine) for the treatment of adult patients with folate receptor-alpha (FRα) positive, platinum-resistant high grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens. Elahere is the first novel therapy approved in the European Union (EU) specifically for patients with FRα positive, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

•At the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, AbbVie announced updated clinical trial results that showed Epkinly (epcoritamab) combination therapy demonstrated high response rates in adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL). The company also announced new results from two ongoing clinical trials which showed Epkinly induced durable complete responses as monotherapy and combination treatment in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Epkinly is being co-developed by AbbVie and Genmab.

•AbbVie and EvolveImmune Therapeutics, an immuno-oncology company developing next-generation biotherapeutics to overcome the therapeutic challenges of cancer cell resistance to current immunotherapies, announced a collaboration and option-to-license agreement to develop multispecific biologics for multiple targets in oncology. The discovery partnership will leverage AbbVie’s oncology expertise and EvolveImmune's T-cell engager platform to develop novel antibody-based therapies for solid and hematologic malignancies.

•AbbVie and Simcere Zaiming announced a partnership to develop a novel trispecific antibody candidate in multiple myeloma (MM). This option-to-license agreement will develop SIM0500, an investigational new drug candidate that is currently in Phase 1 clinical trials in patients with r/r MM.

•AbbVie and Neomorph announced a collaboration and license agreement that will leverage AbbVie’s drug development expertise and Neomorph’s leading molecular glue discovery platform to develop novel molecular glue degraders for multiple targets across oncology and immunology.

•AbbVie announced that it completed its acquisition of Nimble Therapeutics, strengthening AbbVie's pipeline and R&D capabilities. The transaction includes Nimble’s lead asset, an investigational oral peptide IL23R inhibitor in preclinical development for the treatment of psoriasis (PsO) as well as Nimble's peptide synthesis, screening, and optimization platform used to help drive rapid discovery and optimization of peptide candidates for a range of targets.

•AbbVie announced positive topline results from its pivotal Phase 3 TEMPO-2 trial evaluating tavapadon as a flexible-dose monotherapy in early Parkinson's disease (PD). In the study, tavapadon met the primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement from baseline in the Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Parts II and III combined score at week 26. Tavapadon also met the key secondary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant improvement from baseline in the MDS-UPDRS Part II score. Tavapadon has demonstrated positive results across all three Phase 3 TEMPO trials and AbbVie remains on track to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) later this year.

•AbbVie announced that its two Phase 2 EMPOWER trials investigating emraclidine as a once-daily, oral monotherapy treatment for adults with schizophrenia who are experiencing an acute exacerbation of psychotic symptoms, did not meet their primary endpoint of showing a statistically significant reduction (improvement) in the change from baseline in the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score compared to the placebo group at week 6. Following the results of these trials, AbbVie began an evaluation of the emraclidine intangible asset for impairment which resulted in a significant decrease in the estimated future cash flows for the product. Based on the revised cash flows, the company recorded a non-cash after-tax intangible asset impairment charge of $3.5 billion. AbbVie continues to evaluate information with respect to the Cerevel-related clinical development programs and will monitor the remaining intangible assets of $3.6 billion.

Recent Events (Continued)

•AbbVie announced that it completed its acquisition of Aliada Therapeutics. The transaction strengthens AbbVie’s neuroscience pipeline and R&D capabilities with the addition of a potential best-in-class disease-modifying therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD), ALIA-1758, and novel blood-brain barrier (BBB)-crossing technology.

Full-Year 2025 Outlook
AbbVie is issuing its adjusted diluted EPS guidance for the full-year 2025 of $12.12 to $12.32. The company's 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes any impact from acquired IPR&D and milestones that may be incurred during 2025, as both cannot be reliably forecasted.
Long-Term Outlook
AbbVie is reaffirming its expectations for a high single-digit compound annual revenue growth rate through 2029. This guidance assumes 2024 as the base year in the compound annual growth rate calculation.

AbbVie is raising its long-term outlook for Skyrizi and Rinvoq revenues. The company now expects combined Skyrizi and Rinvoq 2027 revenues of more than $31 billion, an increase of approximately $4 billion compared to previous guidance for combined revenues of more than $27 billion in 2027. This guidance assumes Skyrizi revenues of more than $20 billion and Rinvoq revenues of more than $11 billion in 2027.

AbbVie is also updating its outlook for aesthetics revenues. The company now expects a high single-digit compound annual revenue growth rate for aesthetics through 2029. This guidance assumes 2025 as the base year in the compound annual growth rate calculation.

Non-GAAP Financial Results
Financial results for 2024 and 2023 are presented on both a reported and a non-GAAP basis. Reported results were prepared in accordance with GAAP and include all revenue and expenses recognized during the period. Non-GAAP results adjust for certain non-cash items and for factors that are unusual or unpredictable, and exclude those costs, expenses, and other specified items presented in the reconciliation tables later in this release. AbbVie’s management believes non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors regarding AbbVie’s results of operations and assist management, analysts, and investors in evaluating the performance of the business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Due to the GAAP net loss in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2024, certain shares issuable under stock-based compensation plans that were dilutive on a non-GAAP basis were excluded from the computation of GAAP diluted EPS because the effects would have been antidilutive.
