Reworded

A significant portion of AbbVie's revenues and operating earnings are derived from severaltwo major products. Specifically, Skyrizi, HumiraSkyrizi and Rinvoq each represented greater than 10% of AbbVie's total net revenues and, in aggregate, these products accounted for approximately 47%42% of total net revenues in 2024. Humira has faced competition from biosimilar products in the United States following the loss of exclusivity in 2023. AbbVie anticipates such loss will continue to cause a significant decline in Humira's revenue and could adversely affect AbbVie’s revenues and operating earnings.2025.

Reworded

To remain competitive, AbbVie must continue to launch new products and new indications and/or brand extensions for existing products. Such launches must generate revenue sufficient both to cover its substantial research and development costs and to replace revenues of profitable products that are lost to or displaced by competing products or therapies. Failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on AbbVie's revenue and profitability. Accordingly, AbbVie commits substantial effort, funds and other resources to research and development and must make ongoing substantial expenditures without any assurance that its efforts will be commercially successful. A high rate of failure in the biopharmaceutical industry is inherent in the research and development of new products, and failure can occur at any point in the research and development process, including after significant resources have been invested. Products that appear promising in development may fail to reach the market for numerous reasons, includingincluding, but not limited to, failure to demonstrate effectiveness, safety concerns, superior safety or efficacy of competing therapies, failure to achieve positive clinical or pre-clinical outcomes beyond the current standards of care, inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or delays in the approval of new products and new indications, limited scope of approved uses, excessive costs to manufacture or the failure to obtain or maintain intellectual property rights, or infringement of the intellectual property rights of others.

Reworded

AbbVie is subject to increasing public and legislative pressure with respect to pharmaceutical pricing. In the United States, practices of managed care groups,organizations, and institutional and governmental purchasers, as well as federal laws and regulations related to Medicare and Medicaid, contribute to pricing pressures. In particular, the IRA will have the effect of reducing prices and reimbursements for certain of our products, which could significantly impact AbbVie’s results of operations. Under the IRA, the U.S Department of Health and Human ServicesHHS can effectively set prices for certain single-source drugs and biologics reimbursed under Medicare Part B and Part D. Generally, these government prices can apply as soon as nine years (for small-molecule drugs) or 13 years (for biological products) from their FDA approval and will be capped at a statutory ceiling price that is likely to represent a significant discount from average prices to wholesalers and direct purchasers. In August 2023, HHS, through the CMS, selected Imbruvica as one of the first 10 medicines subject to government-set prices beginning in 2026. In August 2024, the CMS published Medicare Part D prices that will be applicable to these medicines, including Imbruvica, beginning January 1, 2026. In January 2025, HHS, through the CMS, selected Vraylar and Linzess as two of the 15 medicines subject to government-set prices in Medicare Part D beginning in 2027. It is possible that more of our products, including products that generate substantial revenues, could be selected in future years, which could, among other things, accelerate revenue erosion prior to expiration of intellectual property protections. In addition, beginning in January 2025, under the IRA, the 70% coverage gap discount program was replaced by a 10% manufacturer discount for all Medicare Part D beneficiaries that have met their deductible and incurred out of pocket drug costs below a $2,000 threshold and a 20% discount for beneficiaries that have incurred out of pocket drug costs above the $2,000 threshold under the new Part D benefit redesign. Manufacturers that fail to comply with the IRA may be subject to various penalties, including civil monetary penalties, which could be significant. The IRA has and will continue to meaningfully impact AbbVie’s business strategies and those of others in the pharmaceutical industry. The full impact of the IRA on AbbVie’s business and the pharmaceutical industry, including the implications to us of our or a competitor's product being selected for price setting, remains uncertain.

In January 2026, Botox was selected as one of 15 medicines subject to government-set prices in Medicare Parts B and D beginning January 1, 2028. It is possible that more of our products, including products that generate substantial revenues, could be selected in future years, which could, among other things, accelerate revenue erosion prior to expiration of intellectual property protections. In addition, beginning in January 2025, under the IRA, the 70% coverage gap discount program was replaced by a 10% manufacturer discount for all Medicare Part D beneficiaries that have met their deductible and incurred out of pocket drug costs below a $2,000 threshold and a 20% discount for beneficiaries that have incurred out of pocket drug costs above the $2,000 threshold under the new Part D benefit redesign.

The full impact of the IRA on AbbVie’s business and the pharmaceutical industry, including the implications to us of our or a competitor's product being selected for price setting, remains uncertain.

Added

In addition to the pricing mechanisms established under the IRA, governments and other payers may pursue or implement additional approaches intended to reduce pharmaceutical costs, including arrangements or frameworks that reference international prices, most-favored-nation (MFN) concepts, or other comparative pricing methodologies. Such approaches may be implemented through legislation, regulation, administrative action, negotiated arrangements, or other means, and their scope, structure, and application may continue to evolve. In January 2026, AbbVie entered into a voluntary agreement with the United States government to provide certain pricing concessions and U.S.-based research and development and capital investments in exchange for exemptions from tariffs and future pricing mandates during the three-year agreement period. In addition, our pricing concessions and expansion of direct-to-patient offerings may subject AbbVie to new pricing or reimbursement policies that could affect our commercial performance.

Added

Where pricing arrangements incorporate MFN, reference pricing, or similar concepts, AbbVie’s realized pricing, revenues, or commercial flexibility could be affected by factors outside of AbbVie’s control, including changes in applicable policies, methodologies, guidance, or related pricing regimes, as well as interactions with other governmental or private-sector pricing and reimbursement programs. Such arrangements could also influence pricing expectations or negotiations in other markets or with other payers.

Reworded

AbbVie continues to evaluate the impact that thepricing IRAand cost-containment related policy developments may have on the company. The potential for continuing changes to the health care system in the United States and the increased purchasing power of entities that negotiate on behalf of Medicare, Medicaid and private sector beneficiariesbeneficiaries, including pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and managed care organizations may result in additional pricing pressures.pressures and formulary restrictions that limit patient access to our products. For further discussion of PBM formulary practices and their impact on pricing and patient access, see "Pharmacy benefit managers and other supply chain intermediaries exert significant influence over pricing and patient access to our products" below.

Reworded

Rebates related to government programs, such as fee-for-service Medicaid or Medicaid managed care programs, arise from laws and regulations. AbbVie cannot predict with certainty ifwhether additional government initiatives to contain health care costs or other factors could lead to new or modified regulatory or contractual requirements that include higher or incremental rebatesrebates, discounts or discounts.other price concessions. Other rebate and discount programs arise from contractual agreements with private payers.payers, including PBMs and managed care organizations. Various factors, including market factorsfactors, consolidation among PBMs and the ability of private payers to control patient access to products, including through formulary management and utilization controls, may provide payers the leverage to negotiate higher or additional rebates or discounts that could have a material adverse effect on AbbVie's operations.

Added

Pharmacy benefit managers and other supply chain intermediaries exert significant influence over pricing and patient access to our products, which could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

Added

Consolidation and vertical integration among PBMs, managed care organizations and other supply chain intermediaries has increased their purchasing power and ability to influence formulary placement and reimbursement levels. A limited number of these entities negotiate pricing, rebates and patient access terms on behalf of health plans and government programs that cover a significant portion of insured patients in the United States.

Added

These entities employ formulary management and utilization tools, including formulary exclusions, step therapy requirements, prior authorization protocols and tiered placement decisions, that could limit or delay patient access to our products, potentially increase patient cost-sharing and/or shift utilization to competing therapies. Unfavorable formulary decisions and increased utilization management restrictions could reduce prescription volumes and adversely affect our revenues. Further changes in formulary placement or access restrictions implemented by these intermediaries could occur with limited advance notice and may be difficult to predict or mitigate.

Added

PBM business practices, rebate structures and pricing arrangements are also subject to change as a result of enforcement actions, regulatory settlements, legislation or other government actions. Government-mandated changes to PBM rebate methodologies, formulary design or pricing transparency practices could affect our contractual arrangements with PBMs, alter manufacturer-PBM economic relationships or shift costs to manufacturers. Additionally, these entities may negotiate higher or additional rebates, discounts, administrative fees or other price concessions that could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

Reworded

The successful discovery, development, manufacturing and sale of biologics is a long, expensive and uncertain process. There are unique risks and uncertainties with biologics. For example, access to and supply of necessary biological materials, such as cell lines, may be limited and current governmental regulations restrict access to and regulate the transport and use of such materials. In addition, the development, manufacturing and sale of biologics is subject to regulations that are often more complex and extensive than the regulations applicable to other pharmaceutical products. As a result, manufacturing biologics, especially in large quantities, is often complex and may require the use of innovative technologies. Such manufacturing also requires facilities specifically designed and validated for this purpose and sophisticated quality assurance and quality control procedures. Biologics are also frequently costly to manufacture because production inputs are derived from living animal or plant material, and some biologics cannot be made synthetically. Failure to successfully discover, develop, manufacture and sell biologics—including Humira, Skyrizi, BotoxBotox, Humira and Creon —could have a negative impact on AbbVie's business and results of operations.

Added

Trade restrictions, tariffs, and other changes in global trade policy could increase costs, disrupt supply chains, and adversely affect AbbVie’s business and results of operations.

Added

AbbVie operates in a global environment and relies on complex international supply chains for the development, manufacture, and distribution of its products, including the sourcing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and key materials. Changes in global trade policy, including the potential imposition of import or export tariffs, trade restrictions, or other measures affecting pharmaceutical products or related inputs, could increase manufacturing and procurement costs, reduce margins or disrupt supply continuity. If AbbVie is unable to substantially mitigate or offset increased costs or disruptions resulting from such measures through pricing adjustments, operational changes, or alternative sourcing arrangements, it may have an adverse effect on AbbVie’s business and results of operations.

Reworded

AbbVie competes with other research-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that research, develop, manufacture, market and sell proprietary pharmaceutical products and biologics. All of these competitors may introduce new products or develop technological advances that compete with AbbVie’s products in therapeutic areas such as immunology, oncology,neuroscience, aesthetics, neuroscienceoncology and eye care.aesthetics. In addition, as AbbVie products lose exclusivity, competition surrounding such products will increase and generic and biosimilar products will increasingly penetrate the markets. Furthermore, consolidation among certain pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can enhance such advantages. These advantages may make it difficult for us to compete with them successfully to discover, develop and market new products and for our current products to compete with new products or indications they may bring to market. AbbVie cannot predict with certainty the timing or impact of the introduction by competitors of new products or technological advances. Such competing products may be safer, more effective, more effectively marketed or sold, have lower prices or better insurance coverage or reimbursement levels, or have superior performance features than AbbVie’s products, and this may negatively impact AbbVie’s business and results of operations.

The manufacture of many of AbbVie's products is a highly exacting and complex process, due in part to strict regulatory requirements. Problems may arise during manufacturing for a variety of reasons, including equipment malfunction, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, problems with raw materials, delays related to the construction of new facilities or the expansion of existing facilities, including those intended to support future demand for AbbVie's products, changes in manufacturing production sites and limits to manufacturing capacity due to regulatory requirements, changes in the types of products produced, physical limitations that could inhibit continuous supply, labor shortages, supply chain disruption, pandemics, man-made or natural disasters and environmental factors. If problems arise during the production of a batch of product, such batch of product may have to be discardeddiscarded, and AbbVie may experience product shortages or incur added expenses. This could, among other things, lead to increased costs, lost revenue, damage to customer relations, time and expense spent investigating the cause and, depending on the cause, similar losses with respect to other batches or products. If problems are not discovered before the product is released to the market, recall and product liability costs may also be incurred.

Reworded

Pharmaceutical products receive regulatory approval based on data obtained in controlled clinical trials of limited duration. Following regulatory approval, these products will be used over longer periods of time in many patients. Additional, and perhaps more extensive, studies may also be conducted, which may be sponsored by AbbVie but could also be sponsored by competitors, insurance companies, government institutions, scientists, investigators or other interested parties. If new safety or efficacy issues are reported or if new scientific information becomes available (including results of post-marketing Phase 4 trials), or if governments change standards regarding safety, efficacy or labeling, AbbVie may be required to amend the conditions of use for a product. For example, AbbVie may voluntarily provide or be required to provide updated information on a product's label or narrow its approved indication, either of which could reduce the product's market acceptance. If safety or efficacy issues with an AbbVie product arise, sales of the product could be halted by AbbVie or by regulatory authorities and regulatory action could be taken by such regulatory authorities. Safety or efficacy issues affecting suppliers' or competitors' products also may reduce the market acceptance of similar AbbVie products.

AbbVie from time to time pursues acquisitions, technology licensing arrangements, joint ventures and strategic alliances, and/or disposes of some of its assets, as part of its business strategy. AbbVie may not complete these transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, and may not realize the expected benefits. If AbbVie is successful in making an acquisition, the products and technologies that are acquired may not be successful or may require significantly greater resources and investments than originally anticipated. AbbVie may not be able to integrate acquisitions successfully into its existing business and could incur or assume significant debt and unknown or contingent liabilities. AbbVie could also experience negative effects on its reported results of operations from acquisition or disposition-related charges, amortization of expenses related to intangibles and charges for impairment of long-term assets. These effects could cause a deterioration of AbbVie's credit rating and result in increased borrowing costs and interest expense.

AbbVie relies on sophisticated software applications and complex information technology systems (including cloud services) to operate its business, which are inherently vulnerable to malicious intrusion, random attack, loss of data privacy, disruption, degradation or breakdown. Certain of these applications and systems are managed, hosted, provided or used by third parties. Data privacy or security breaches of our internal systems or those of our information technology vendors may in the future result in the failure of critical business operations. Such breaches may cause sensitive data, including intellectual property, trade secrets or personal information belonging to AbbVie, its patients, customers, employees or business partners, to be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public.

Additionally, AbbVie utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies in select applications to support its operations. These technologies may present opportunities for AbbVie's business but may also entail risks, including that AI-generated analyses utilized by AbbVie could be deficient or exacerbate regulatory, cybersecurity or other significant risks. Further, our failure to effectively implement these technologies could hinder our ability to compete, as competitors' advancements in AI may lead to more efficient operations.

Third parties may illegally obtain, distribute, and sell counterfeit or illegally diverted from their intended market versions of AbbVie products. These versions of product would not meet AbbVie's rigorous manufacturing, testing, distribution and quality standards. A patient who receives a counterfeit, stolen, or diverted drug may be at risk for a number of dangerous health consequences. The prevalence of counterfeit/diverted medicines is an industry-wide issue due to a variety of factors, including the adoption of e-commerce, greatly enhancing consumers' ability to obtain prescriptions and other medical treatments via the internet in lieu of traditional brick and mortar pharmacies. This can expose patients to greater risks as the internet is a preferred vehicle for dangerous counterfeit/diverted product offers and scams because of the anonymity it affords.

Subsequent to December 31, 2025, AbbVie announced a voluntary agreement with the U.S. government to further advance access and affordability of AbbVie’s products in the U.S. while protecting and investing in U.S. pharmaceutical innovation. AbbVie will provide low prices in Medicaid and expand affordable, direct-to-patient offerings. Additionally, AbbVie pledged $100 billion in U.S.-based research and development and capital investments, including manufacturing, over the next decade. Under this voluntary agreement, the U.S. government has agreed to provide AbbVie a three-year exemption from tariffs and future price mandates.

On July 4, 2025, the United States government signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (2025 Act). Included within the 2025 Act are provisions that permanently extend certain expiring provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modify the international tax framework to reduce the tax rate on certain foreign earned income, restore the tax treatment of expensing for domestic research and development costs and bonus depreciation, and allow for full expensing of qualified production property. In addition, the legislation contains multiple effective dates and transition elections, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The 2025 Act also includes certain new health care provisions related to the orphan drug exclusion of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, and Medicaid, which have various effective dates. The new legislation had a favorable impact on cash tax payments in the current year.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 has and will continue to have a significant impact on how drugs are covered and paid for under the Medicare program, including through the creation of financial penalties for drugs whose price increases outpace inflation, the redesign of Medicare Part D benefits to shift a greater portion of the costs to manufacturers, and through government price-setting for certain Medicare Part B and Part D drugs. In 2023, Imbruvicathe wasU.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service, selected Imbruvica as one of the first 10 medicines subject to government-set prices beginning in 2026.
