At the state level, legislatures are becoming increasingly aggressive in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access,see in full comparisonandprice and marketing cost disclosure and transparencymeasures.measures, and measures that could expand the applicability of the ceiling price under the federal government's 340B program (see also "Other Regulatory and Litigation Risks - If we fail to comply with our reporting and payment obligations under the Medicaid Drug Rebate program or other governmental pricing programs, we could be subject to additional reimbursement requirements, penalties, sanctions, and fines, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects."). In some cases, these measures are designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. A reduction in the availability or extent of reimbursement from U.S. government programs (including as a result of the legislation, proposals, initiatives, and developments described above) could have a material adverse effect on the sales ofEYLEA, EYLEA HD, orourothermarketed products. Economic pressure on state budgets may also have a similar impact.
Certain raw materials or other products necessary for the manufacture and formulation of our marketed products and product candidates, some of which are difficult to source, are provided by single-source unaffiliated third-party suppliers. In addition, we rely on certain third parties or our collaborators to perform filling, finishing, distribution, laboratory testing, and other services related to the manufacture of our marketed products and product candidates, and to supply various raw materials and other products. We would be unable to obtain these raw materials, other products, or services for an indeterminate period of time if any of these third parties were to cease or interrupt production or otherwise fail to supply these materials, products, or services to us for any reason, including due to regulatory requirements or actions (including recalls), adverse financial developments at or affecting the supplier, failure by the supplier to comply with cGMPs, contaminations, business interruptions, or labor shortages or disputes (in each case, including as a result ofsee in full comparisonthe armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine orpublic health outbreaks, epidemics, or pandemics or other geopoliticaldevelopmentsdevelopments, such as the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine). Regional or single-source dependencies may in some cases accentuate these risks. For example, the pharmaceutical industry generally, and in some instances our Company or our collaborators or other third parties on which we rely, depend on China-based suppliers or service providers for certain raw materials, products and services, or other activities. Our ability or the ability of our collaborators or such other third parties to continue to engage these China-based suppliers or service providers for certain preclinical research programs and clinical development programs could be restricted due to geopolitical developments between the United States and China, including as a result of the escalation of tariffs or other trade restrictions orifthepreviouslyrecentlyproposed federal legislation known as theenacted BIOSECUREActAct.orSee also "Other Regulatory and Litigation Risks - We face risks associated with tariffs and other trade restrictions, which may have asimilarmateriallawadversewereimpacttoonbeourenacted.results of operations and financial condition" below. In any such circumstances, we may not be able to engage a backup or alternative supplier or service provider in a timely manner or at all. This, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our or our collaborators' ability to manufacture or supply marketed products and product candidates or advance our or our collaborators' preclinical research or clinical development programs, which could materially and adversely affect our business and future prospects.

“The United States has recently imposed significant tariffs on imports from other countries, including a baseline tariff of 10% on imports into the United States and higher tariffs on multiple designated countries, such as "reciprocal" tariffs at varying rates. Such tariffs have prompted retaliatory measures from several countries, which may further escalate. Certain of these tariffs have been subsequently paused or modified, and the situation remains fluid. …”see in full comparison

We are substantially dependent on the success of EYLEA, EYLEA HD, EYLEA, and Dupixent.
We are substantially dependent on the success of EYLEA and,HD sinceand itsEYLEA. August 2023 FDA approval, EYLEA HD. EYLEA netNet product sales of these products have historically represented a substantial portion of our revenues, and we expect that there will continue to be athis concentration of our net sales fromto continue in the netfuture productwith salesan ofincreasing dependence on EYLEA HD andrelative to our historical dependence on EYLEA. For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, our aggregate EYLEA HD and EYLEA net product sales in the United States represented 42%31% and 45%42% of our total revenues, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, EYLEA HD U.S. net product sales represented 20%37% of our aggregate EYLEA HD and EYLEA U.S. net product sales. If we are successful in commercializing EYLEA HD, we expect that our dependence on EYLEA HD will grow relative to our historical dependence on EYLEA. If we experience difficulty with the commercialization of EYLEA HD or EYLEA in the United States or if Bayer experiences any difficulty with the commercialization of EYLEA HD or EYLEA outside the United States, if EYLEA HD net product sales experiencedo anot sufficiently offset any sustained decline of EYLEA net product sales in or outside the United States without an offset from EYLEA HD net product sales,States, or if we and Bayer are unable to maintain or obtain marketing approvals of these products (as applicable), we may experience a reduction in revenue and may not be able to stay profitable at the levels we previously achieved or at all, and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
Commercialization of EYLEA HD and EYLEA HD in the United States and elsewhere is subject to significant competition (as described further below under "The commercial success of our products and product candidates is subject to significant competition"), which we expect to continue to increase in the future. For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, EYLEA U.S. net product sales declined by 17%42% compared to the samecorresponding period in 2023.2024 as a result of competitive pressures and other factors described under Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations." Following the expiration of the U.S. regulatory exclusivity period for EYLEA (i.e., the period during which no biosimilar product can be approved by the FDA) in May 2024, several biosimilar versions of EYLEA have been approved by the FDA, and one such product has launched in the United States. EYLEA and/or EYLEA HD net product sales recorded by us are likely to continue to be negatively impacted by biosimilar competition in the United States, including competition from additional biosimilar versions of EYLEA expected to launch in the United States in the second half of 2026, which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, we expect that competition for EYLEA and/or EYLEA HD outside the United States will continue to increase in the future whenas biosimilar versions of EYLEA (including those already approved but not yet launched) are brought to market in additional countries, which may negatively impact the amount of collaboration revenue we earn from Bayer. While wethe anticipateFDA severalrecently important 2025 milestones relevant to further commercialization ofapproved EYLEA HD as shown infor the tabletreatment of RVO and for an every 4-week dosing regimen across approved indications and we continue to work toward FDA approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe as discussed under Part I, Item 1. "Business - Programs in Clinical Development,Development - Additional Information - Clinical Development Programs - EYLEA HD," there can be no assurance that any such milestones will(including bepotential achievedFDA or,approval ifof achieved,the thatEYLEA theyHD pre-filled syringe) will enable us and Bayer tohelp accelerate theany ongoingpotential launchfuture and further commercializationgrowth of EYLEA HD.HD net product sales. The degree to which EYLEA HD net product sales may offset further potential decreasedecreases in EYLEA net product sales, resulting from the factors discussed above or otherwise, is uncertain.
We also are substantially dependent on our share of profits from the commercialization of Dupixent under our collaboration with Sanofi (the "Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi."). For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, Sanofi collaboration revenue (most of which is attributable to our share of profits from the commercialization of Dupixent) represented 32%41% and 29%32% of our total revenues, respectively. If we or Sanofi were to experience any difficulty with the commercialization of Dupixent or if we or Sanofi are unable to maintain current marketing approvals of Dupixent, we may experience a reduction in revenue and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.

See also "Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply - Our or our collaborators' or contract manufacturers' failure to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates could result in incurring substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if regulatory approval is obtained, and a reduction in sales" below.
Sales of our marketed products are dependent on the availability and extent of coverage and reimbursement and copay assistance from third-party payors.payors and other third parties.
Sales of our marketed products in the United States are dependent, in large part, on the availability and extent of coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors, including private payor healthcare and insurance programs, health maintenance organizations, pharmacy benefit management companies ("PBMs"), and government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Such sales are also impacted by the ability of patients to afford copays and the availability and extent of copay assistance, including copay assistance provided by other third parties (such as not-for-profit patient assistance funds). Sales of our marketed products in other countries are also dependent, in large part, on complex coverage and reimbursement mechanisms and programs in those countries.
Our future revenues and profitability will be materially adversely affected in a material manner if such third-party payors and other third parties do not adequately defray or reimburse the cost of our marketed products. If thesethird-party entitiespayors do not provide coverage and reimbursement with respect to our marketed products or provide an insufficient level of coverage and reimbursement, such products may be too costly for many patients to afford them, and physicians may not prescribe them. Many third-party payors cover only selected drugs, or may prefer selected drugs, making drugs that are not covered or preferred by such payors more expensive for patients. Third-party payors may also require prior authorization for reimbursement, or require failure on another type of treatmenttreatment, or impose other utilization management restrictions before covering a particular drug, particularly with respect to higher-priced drugs. AsFurther, sales of our currently marketed products (such as EYLEA HD and mostEYLEA) in the United States may be adversely impacted by the lack of oursufficient productcopay candidatesassistance arefrom biologics,not-for-profit bringingpatient themassistance funds.

As our currently marketed products and most of our product candidates are biologics, bringing them to market may cost more than bringing traditional, small-molecule drugs to market due to the complexity associated with the research, development, production, supply, and regulatory review of such products. Given cost sensitivities in many healthcare systems, our currently marketed products and product candidates are likely to be subject to continued pricing pressures, which may have an adverse impact on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
In many countries outside the United States, pricing, coverage, and level of reimbursement of prescription drugs are subject to governmental control, and we and our collaborators may be unable to obtain coverage, pricing, and/or reimbursement on terms that are favorable to us or necessary for us or our collaborators to successfully commercialize our marketed products in those countries. In some of these countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing drug pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country, and may take into account the clinical effectiveness, cost, and service impact of existing, new, and emerging drugs and treatments. For example, the EU provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use. A member state may approve a specific price for the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controlslimitations on the profitability of the company placing the medicinal product placed on the market. In addition, in many countries outside the United States, we or our collaborators must participate in a tender process for public procurement of our products, and any failure to obtain acceptable pricing in the tender process could adversely affect our business. Our results of operations may suffer if we or our collaborators are unable to market our products in countries outside the United States or if coverage and reimbursement for our marketed products in such countries is limited or delayed. As discussed below under "If we are unable to establish sufficient commercial capabilities outside the United States for products we intend to commercialize or co-commercialize outside the United States, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected," we will need to manage these and other commercialization-related risks in order for us to successfully maintain and/or further develop sufficient commercial capabilities outside the United States (including those necessary for our successful commercialization and co-commercialization of Libtayo and Dupixent, respectively).States.
Changes to productProduct reimbursement and coverage policies and practicespractices, pricing regulations and requirements, and our pricing strategy could change due to various factors beyond our control, which may materiallyadversely harmimpact our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Government and other third-party payors (including PBMs) are challenging the prices charged for healthcare products and increasingly limiting, and attempting to limit, both coverage and level of reimbursement for prescription drugs, such as by requiring outcomes-based or other pay-for-performance pricing arrangements. They are also imposing restrictions on eligible patient populations and the reimbursement process, including by means of required prior authorizations and utilization management criteria, such as step therapy (i.e., requiring the use of less costly medications before more costly medications are approved for coverage). Private payor healthcare and insurance providers, health maintenance organizations, and PBMs are increasingly requiring significant discounts and rebates from manufacturers as a condition to including products on formulary with favorable coverage and copayment/coinsurance. In addition, many payors continue to adopt benefit plan changes that shift a greater portion of prescription costs to patients, including more limited benefit plan designs, higher patient co-paycopay or co-insurancecoinsurance obligations, and limitations on patients' use of commercial manufacturer co-paycopay payment assistance programs (including through co-paycopay accumulator adjustment or maximization programs). Some states have also enacted or are considering legislation to control the prices and reimbursement of prescription drugs, including by establishing Prescription Drug Affordability Boards (or similar entities) to review high-cost drugs, setting upper payment limits, and/or implementing marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures. Additionally, state Medicaid programs arehave been increasingly requesting manufacturersthat tomanufacturers, including Regeneron, pay supplemental rebates and requiring prior authorization by the state program for use of any prescription drug for which supplemental rebates are not being paid. It is likely that federal and state legislatures and health agencies will continue to focus on additional healthcare reform measures in the future that will impose additional constraints on prices and reimbursements for our marketed products.
Further, there have been several recent U.S. Congressional inquiriesinquiries, executive orders, and recently approved or proposed federal and state legislation, regulations, and policies (in addition to those already in effect) designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to drug pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient programs, reduce the out-of-pocket cost of prescription drugs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for drugs. Notably, in 2022 the U.S. Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA"), which includes, among other items, provisions regarding the following:
The full extent to which the policy changes described above will ultimately impact reimbursement levels of our marketed products, including those covered under Medicare Part B (such as EYLEA HD and EYLEA), or our product candidates that may be covered under Medicare Part B or Medicare Part D in the future, is currently unclear. In addition, the current U.S. administration is pursuing other measures to reduce the cost of drugs in the United States. For example, in May 2025, an executive order directed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") and other federal agencies to take certain steps intended to, among other things, reduce the prices of drugs sold in the United States to match the lowest price available for the same drugs in comparably developed nations (commonly referred to as "most-favored-nation" ("MFN") pricing). In July 2025, as a follow-up to this executive order, President Trump sent a letter to several pharmaceutical companies (including Regeneron) requesting that within the next 60 days they, among other matters, provide their existing drugs at MFN rates to Medicaid patients, guarantee MFN pricing for newly launched drugs, and provide for direct-to-consumer and direct-to-business distribution models for high-volume, high-rebate prescription drugs. In addition, a prior executive order from April 2025 directed the HHS to take appropriate steps to, among other things, modify certain provisions of the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, develop and implement a payment model to reduce the price of high-cost prescription drugs and biological products covered by Medicare, accelerate approval of generic and biosimilar products, and facilitate the ability of states to import pharmaceuticals from other countries. In response to these executive orders, in December 2025, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation proposed two mandatory Medicare payment models that, if enacted into law, would apply to certain drugs covered under Medicare Parts B and D and test whether alternative methodologies for calculating inflationary rebates based on international reference pricing would reduce Medicare spending. It is currently unclear how and to what extent the measures described in this paragraph may be implemented and what impact any such implementation would have on our Company.
The extent to which the policy changes described above will ultimately impact reimbursement levels of our marketed products, including those covered under Medicare Part B (such as EYLEA and EYLEA HD), or our product candidates that may be covered under Medicare Part B or Medicare Part D in the future, is currently unclear.
At the state level, legislatures are becoming increasingly aggressive in passing legislation and implementing regulations designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access, and price and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures.measures, and measures that could expand the applicability of the ceiling price under the federal government's 340B program (see also "Other Regulatory and Litigation Risks - If we fail to comply with our reporting and payment obligations under the Medicaid Drug Rebate program or other governmental pricing programs, we could be subject to additional reimbursement requirements, penalties, sanctions, and fines, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects."). In some cases, these measures are designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing. A reduction in the availability or extent of reimbursement from U.S. government programs (including as a result of the legislation, proposals, initiatives, and developments described above) could have a material adverse effect on the sales of EYLEA, EYLEA HD, or our other marketed products. Economic pressure on state budgets may also have a similar impact.
EYLEA HD and EYLEA. EYLEA HD and EYLEA HD. EYLEA and EYLEA HD face significant competition in the marketplace. For example, each of EYLEA HD and EYLEA HD competes in one or more of its approved indications with other VEGF inhibitors. These include Genentech/Roche's Vabysmo® (faricimab-svoa) and Susvimo® (ranibizumab ocular implant); Novartis and Genentech/Roche's Lucentis® (ranibizumab); Novartis' Beovu® (brolucizumab); and a biosimilar versionsversion of Lucentis commercialized in the United States by Biogen Inc. and Sandoz Group AG. In addition, biosimilar versions of EYLEA have been approved and/or launched both in and outside the United States.States, These includeincluding Amgen's Pavblu™ (aflibercept-ayyh), which recently (launched in the United States.States in the fourth quarter of 2024). We are aware of several other companies developing biosimilar versions of EYLEA, EYLEA HD, and/or other approved anti-VEGF treatments. We expect that biosimilar competition for EYLEA will continue to increase in the future whenas additional biosimilar versions of EYLEA are launched in the United States and other countries, the timing of which will depend on, among other factors, the outcome of the pending patent litigation proceedings and the settlement terms of the previously pending litigation proceedings described in Note 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and the expiration of the patents protecting EYLEA (including those set forth under Part I - Item 1. "Business - Patents, Trademarks, and Trade Secrets"). Ophthalmologists are also using off-label, third-party repackaged versions of Genentech/Roche's approved VEGF antagonist, bevacizumab, for the treatment of certain of EYLEA'sEYLEA HD's and EYLEA HD'sEYLEA's respective indications, and we are aware of another company developing an ophthalmic formulation of such product that has been approved in the EU. In DME (and,and in the case of EYLEA, also RVO),RVO, EYLEA HD and EYLEA HD also compete with intravitreal implants of corticosteroids. We are also aware of a number of companies working on the development of product candidates and extended delivery devices for the potential treatment of one or more of EYLEA'sEYLEA HD's and EYLEA HD'sEYLEA's respective indications, including those that act by blocking VEGF and VEGF receptors (including therapies designed to extend the treatment interval) and/or other targets. In addition, we are aware of several other companies developing biosimilar versions of EYLEA, EYLEA HD, and/or other approved anti-VEGF treatments. Other potentially competitive products in development include products for use in combination with EYLEA and/or other anti-VEGF treatments, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, gene therapies, and other eye-drop formulations, devices, and oral therapies. There also is a risk that third parties repackage ZALTRAP for off-label use and sale for the treatment of diseases of the eye, even though ZALTRAP has not been manufactured and formulated for use in intravitreal injections. We are aware of claims by third parties, including those based on published clinical data, alleging that ZALTRAP may be safely administered to the eye.
EYLEA HD was approved by the FDAlaunched in August 2023 for the treatment of wAMD, DME, and DR and entered the highly competitive environment described above. Our success in commercializing EYLEA HD will continue to depend on a number of factors, including the degree of success and relative timing of our commercial launch and uptake efforts as compared to those of relevant competition, the extent to which we and our collaborators are able to differentiate EYLEA HD from competitive products (such as on the basis of dosing frequency, the method of administration, or the breadth of indications in which the product is approved), the safety and efficacy of EYLEA HD seen in a broader patient group (i.e., real-world use), the extent of payor coveragecoverage, reimbursement, and reimbursement,copay assistance, and the applicability of any restrictions imposed by payors, such as step therapy.
Dupixent. The market for Dupixent's current and potential future indications is also increasingly competitive. In atopic dermatitis, thereThere are systemic JAK inhibitors and antibodies against IL-13 and IL-4Ra approved or in development for atopic dermatitis. There is also an antibody against IL-31R approved for atopic dermatitis and prurigo nodularis. In addition, a number of companies are developing antibodies against other targets, including OX40(L), that may compete with Dupixent in atopic dermatitis and other indications (including asthma and/or prurigo nodularis). In asthma, competitors to Dupixent include antibodies against the IL-5 ligand or the IL-5 receptor, immunoglobulin E, or thymic stromal lymphopoietin ("TSLP"); and some of these antibodies are either approved or in development for indications that also compete or may compete in the future with Dupixent in CRSwNP, EoE, COPD, and COPD.CSU where approved. There are several other potentially competitive products in development that may compete with Dupixent in asthma, COPD, and potential future indications, including antibodies against the IL-33 ligand or receptor. Dupixent also faces competition from a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor in CSU and may in the future face competition from inhaled products in asthma, COPD, and potential future indications.
Libtayo. Libtayo also faces significant competition. There are several competitors that are marketing and/or developing antibodies against PD-1 and/or PDL-1 (some of which were approved in the relevant indications and commercialized before Libtayo), including Merck's Keytruda® (pembrolizumab), Bristol-Myers Squibb's Opdivo® (nivolumab), Roche's Tecentriq® (atezolizumab), AstraZeneca's Imfinzi® (durvalumab), and CheckpointSun Therapeutics'Pharma's UnloxcytTMUnloxcyt™ (cosibelimab). While Libtayo is currently approved for intravenous administration only, certain of these products are also approved or in development for subcutaneous use.
Other marketed products. There is also significant actual and potential future competition for other products marketed or otherwise commercialized by us and/or our collaborators under our collaboration agreements with them. For example, Lynozyfic faces significant actual and potential future competition from other bispecific antibodies and CAR-T cell therapies targeting BCMA, GPRC5D, and/or other targets that are currently approved or in development for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. In addition, there are several companies that are marketing and/or developing antibodies or other molecules (such as small interfering RNA molecules, or siRNAssiRNAs, and oral small molecules) against PCSK9, ANGPTL3 and IL-6 and/or IL-6R, which currently (or, for product candidates in development, may in the future if approved) treat the same conditions as Praluent, Evkeeza, and Kevzara, respectively.
Our VelocImmune® technology, other antibody generation technologies, and late-stage and earlier-stage clinical candidates face competition from many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies using various technologies, including antibody generation technologies and other approaches such as RNAi, chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T cell),cell, and gene therapy technologies. For example, we are aware of other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies actively engaged in the research and development of antibody-based products (including bispecific antibodies, multispecific antibodies, and/or antibody-drug conjugates) and gene therapy-based products against targets that are also the targets of our early- and late-stage product candidates. We are also aware of other companies developing or marketing small molecules or other treatments that may compete with our antibody-based product candidates in various indications, if such product candidates obtain regulatory approval in those indications. If any of these or other competitors announces a successful clinical study involving a product that may be competitive with one of our product candidates or the grant of marketing approval by a regulatory agency for a competitive product, such developments may have an adverse effect on our business or future prospects. In addition, the first product to reach the market in a therapeutic area is often at a significant competitive advantage relative to later entrants to the market. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we, or our collaborators, can develop our product candidates, complete the clinical trials and approval processes, and, if such product candidates are approved for marketing and sale, supply commercial quantities to the market is expected to continue to be an important competitive factor. Due to the uncertainties associated with developing biopharmaceuticalpharmaceutical products, we may not be the first to obtain marketing approval for a product against any particular target, which may have a material adverse effect on our business or future prospects. While we evaluate market opportunities for our product candidates, there can be no assurance that our estimates will accurately reflect the market opportunity at the time of launch or that our product candidates will meet internal or external expectations and be successful commercially due to existing or potential future competition or otherwise.
We face increasing competition from Chinese biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, including Chinese state-owned or state-backed enterprises, with respect to both our marketed products and product candidates. China has become one of the world's leading developers of new drugs, and Chinese companies benefit from a regulatory regime that enables rapid, low-cost clinical trials that facilitate innovation. Furthermore, we compete with other large pharmaceutical companies, many of which have invested significantly in China, in acquiring or licensing Chinese product candidates, and we may not be as successful as our competitors in identifying or accessing such assets.
In addition, under the terms of our Antibody Collaboration, we and Sanofi co-commercialize Dupixent in the United States and, as further discussed below, certain jurisdictions outside the United States. As a result, we rely in part on Sanofi's sales and marketing organization for Dupixent. If we and Sanofi fail to coordinate our sales and marketing efforts effectively, sales of Dupixent may be materially adversely affected. Sanofi also maintains other important responsibilities relating to Dupixent. For example, Sanofi records product sales for Dupixent in the United States and leads negotiations with payors relating to this product. We also rely on Sanofi for sales, marketing, and distribution of Dupixent in many countries outside the United States. While we exercised our option under the Antibody Collaboration to co-commercialize Dupixent in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, we will continue to rely in considerable part on Sanofi's sales and marketing organization in such jurisdictions. As described in Note 16 to our Consolidated Financial Statements,Statements included in this report, we have sued Sanofi and certain of its affiliated entities (the "Antibody Collaboration Litigation") alleging that the defendants breached certain provisions of the agreement governing the Antibody Collaboration (the "Collaboration Agreement"). These provisions concern Sanofi's obligation to provide Regeneron with full access to material information relating to the commercialization of Dupixent or other products commercialized pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement and Regeneron's audit rights under the Collaboration Agreement. It is not possible to determine what impact (if any) the Antibody Collaboration Litigation may have on the Antibody Collaboration and our business relationship with Sanofi, or whether we will be successful in the Antibody Collaboration Litigation.
Our sales of products we commercialize in the United States and our collaborators' sales of products they commercialize or co-commercialize with us under our collaboration agreements with them in the United States and other countries (which impact our share of any profits or losses from the commercialization of these products under the relevant collaboration agreements and, therefore, our results of operations) may be reduced if the applicable product is imported into those countries from lower priced markets, whether legally or illegally (a practice known as parallel trading or reimportation). Parallel traders (who may repackage or otherwise alter the original product or sell it through alternative channels such as mail order or the Internet) take advantage of the price differentials between markets arising from factors including sales costs, market conditions, tax rates, or national regulation of prices. Under our arrangement with Bayer, pricing and reimbursement for EYLEA HD and EYLEA outside the United States isare the responsibility of Bayer. Similarly, under our Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi, pricing and reimbursement for the products commercialized or co-commercialized thereunder outside the United States are the responsibility of Sanofi. Prices for our marketed products in jurisdictions outside the United States are based on local market economics and competition and are likely to differ from country to country. In the United States, prices for pharmaceuticals are generally higher than in the bordering nations of Canada and Mexico and sales of our marketed products in the United States may be reduced if the applicable product marketed in those bordering nations is imported into the United States. In addition, there are proposals to legalize the import of pharmaceuticals from outside the United States into the United States.States and, as discussed above under "Product reimbursement and coverage policies and practices, pricing regulations and requirements, and our pricing strategy could change due to various factors beyond our control, which may adversely impact our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition," an executive order from April 2025 directed the Secretary of the HHS to take appropriate steps to facilitate such importation at the state level. If such or other similar proposals were to be implemented, our future revenues derived from sales of our marketed products could be reduced. Parallel-trading practices also are of particular relevance to the EU, where they have been encouraged by the current regulatory framework. These types of imports may exert pressure on the pricing of our marketed products in a particular market or reduce sales recorded by us or our collaborators, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations.
Even if clinical trials demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of any of our product candidates for a specific disease and the necessary regulatory approvals are obtained, the commercial success of any of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products will depend upon, among other things, their acceptance by patients, the medical community, and third-party payors and on ourthe andability of our collaborators'Company, abilityour collaborators, or other third parties on which we rely (as applicable) to successfully manufacture, market, and distribute those products in substantial commercial quantities or to establish and manage the required infrastructure to do so, including large-scale information technology systems and a large-scale distribution network. Establishing and maintaining sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities are expensive and time-consuming. In addition, we may need to further develop or acquire these capabilities as we and/or our collaborators continue to pursue the development of drugs generated by means other than our established "Trap" or VelociSuite technologies, such as siRNA gene silencing, genome editing, and targeted viral-based gene delivery and expression. Even if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications, if they are not successfully commercialized, we will not be able to recover the significant investment we have made in developing such products and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be severely harmed.
We sell our marketed products for which we record net product sales in the United States to several distributors and specialty pharmacies, as applicable (collectively, "distributor customers"), which generally sell the product directly to healthcare providers or other pharmacies (as applicable). For the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, our product sales to two distributor customers accounted on a combined basis for 74%77% and 76%74% of our total gross product revenue, respectively. We expect significant distributor customer concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate and grow sales of theseour products will depend, in part, on the extent to which our distributor customers are able to provide adequate distribution of theseour products to healthcare providers. Although we believe we can find additional distributors, if necessary, our revenue during any period of disruption could suffer and we might incur additional costs. In addition, these distributor customers are responsible for a significant portion of our net trade accounts receivable balances. The loss of any large distributor customer, a significant reduction in sales we make to them, any cancellation of orders they have made with us, or any failure to pay for the products we have shipped to them could adversely affect our results of operations. Commercialization of any of our marketed products may also be adversely impacted by vertical integration of private payor healthcare and insurance programs, health maintenance organizations, and PBMs, or further consolidation among the healthcare providers served or operated by our distributor customers if, for example, one or more consolidated groups of healthcare providers determines not to use (or decides to switch from) such marketed product in favor of a competing product. See also "The commercial success of our products and product candidates is subject to significant competition - Marketed Products" above.
While we have made progress with establishing commercial capabilities in certain jurisdictions outside the United States in recent years (primarily in connection with our acquisition of the exclusiveworldwide rightrights to develop, commercialize, and manufacture Libtayo worldwide pursuant to thein 2022 Amended and Restated Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement with Sanofi (the "A&R IO LCA") and the exercise of our option under the Antibody Collaboration to co-commercialize Dupixent in certain jurisdictions outside the United States,States), our commercial capabilities and experience with commercializing products outside the United States (as well as obtaining and/or maintaining regulatory approvals and securing pricing and reimbursement for our products outside the United States) are still somewhat limited. There may be other circumstances in which we need to establish further commercial capabilities outside the United States, including because we decide to commercialize aother particular productproducts independently (such as Lynozyfic and Ordspono, which we recently launched in the EU); we are unable to find an appropriate collaborator; or an existing collaborator decides to opt out or breaches its obligations to us with respect to a particular product.
Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for drug and biologic products is costly, time-consuming, and highly uncertain. If we or our collaborators do not maintain regulatory approval for our marketed products, andor obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products,candidates, we will not be able to market or sell them,them; whichand wouldif we do not obtain approvals for new indications for our marketed products, we may not be able to realize the full commercial potential of such products. Any of the foregoing may materially and negatively impact our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
We cannot sell or market products without regulatory approval or other authorization. If we or our collaborators do not maintain regulatory approval for our marketed products, andor obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications of our marketed products (or are materially delayed in doing so), the value of our Company and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
In the United States, we (which, for purposes of this risk factor, includes our collaborators, unless otherwise stated or required by the context) must obtain and maintain approval from the FDA for each drug and biologic we intend to sell. We must obtain and maintain similar regulatory approvals from comparable foreign regulatory authorities in order to sell drugs and biologics outside the United States. Obtaining FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authority approval for a new drug or biologic or indication is typically a lengthy and expensive process, and approval is highly uncertain. We cannot predict with certainty if or when we might submit for regulatory approval for any of our product candidates currently under development. Any approvals we may obtain may not cover all of the clinical indications for which we are seeking approval. Also, an approval might contain significant limitations in the form of narrow indications, warnings, precautions, or contra-indications with respect to conditions of use. Additionally, in the United States, the FDA may determine that a REMS is necessary to ensure that the benefits of a new product outweigh its risks, and the product can therefore be approved. A REMS may include various elements, ranging from a medication guide or patient package insert to limitations on who may prescribe or dispense the drug,drug or biologic, depending on what the FDA considers necessary for the safe use of the drug.drug or biologic. The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process (including with respect to setting specific conditions for submission) and may either refuse to accept an application for substantive review or may form the opinion after review of an application that the application is insufficient to allow approval of a product candidate. If the FDA does not accept ourfrom us an application for review or approve our application, it may require that we conduct additional clinical, preclinical, or manufacturing validation studies or additional analyses of data from existing studies and submit the data before it will reconsider our application. Depending on the extent of these or any other studies or analyses that might be required, approval of any applications that we submit may be delayed significantly, or we may be required to expend considerably more resources. It is also possible that anyAny such additional studies or analyses, if performed and completed, may not be considered sufficient by the FDA to make our applications approvable. If any of these outcomes occur, we may be forced to delay or abandon our applications for approval. For example, in October 2023, the FDA issued a CRL for the sBLA for Dupixent in CSU stating that additional efficacy data arewere required to support an approval.approval, Whilewhich wedelayed reportedby resultsnearly from18 amonths confirmatorythe PhaseFDA's 3April clinical2025 trialapproval of Dupixent in CSU (in biologic-naïve patients) in September 2024, there can be no assurance that such data will ultimately result in FDA or other regulatory approval. As another example of this type of risk, the FDA's request for additional analyses regarding sub-populations from the BOREAS and NOTUS pivotal studies delayed by three months the FDA's September 2024 approval of our sBLA for Dupixent as an add-on maintenance treatment of adults with inadequately controlled COPD and an eosinophilic phenotype.indication.
In certain instances (such as when we use a biomarker-based test to identify and enroll specific patients in a clinical trial), regulatory approval of a companion diagnostic to our therapeutic product candidate may be required as a condition tofor regulatory approval of the therapeutic product candidate. We may need to rely on third parties to provide companion diagnostics for use with our product candidates. Such third parties may be unable or unwilling on terms acceptable to us to provide such companion diagnostics or to obtain timely regulatory approval of or product labeling updates for such companion diagnostics, which could negatively impact regulatory approval of our product candidates or may result in increased development costs or delays.
The FDA may also require us to conduct additional clinical trials after granting approval of a product. The FDA has the explicit authority to require post-marketing studies (also referred to as post-approval or Phase 4 studies), labeling changes based on new safety information, and compliance with FDA-approved risk evaluation and mitigation strategies.REMS. Post-approval studies, whether conducted by us or by others and whether mandated by regulatory agencies or voluntary, and other data about our marketed products (or data about products similar to our marketed products that implicate an entire class of products or are perceived to do so) may result in changes in product labeling, restrictions on use, product withdrawal or recall, loss of approval, or lower sales of our products. Obligations equivalent in scope, but which can vary widely in application, apply in countriesjurisdictions outside the United States.
According to the FDA policies under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, the FDA system of review times for new drugs and biologics includes standard review and priority review. While the FDA has performance goals that provide for action on NDA and BLA submissions by certain deadlines, the FDA's review goals are subject to change and the duration of the FDA's review depends on a number of factors, including the number and types of other applications that are submitted to the FDA around the same time period or are pending. The FDA's review of our regulatory submissions has in the past been delayed, and may be delayed in the future, due to the FDA's request for additional information or for other reasons, including those beyond our control.control (such as the 2025 reduction and any future reductions of staffing or other resources at the FDA, as discussed further below).
The functioning of the FDA is affected by a variety of factors, such as shifting government priorities, budgets and funding levels, authorization and payment of user fees, the ability to hire and retain key personnel, as well as other statutory, regulatory, and policy changes impacting HHS, the FDA, or other HHS agencies. U.S. policy changes have recently been implemented at a rapid pace, and additional changes may occur. For example, efforts implemented or commenced in 2025 to reduce the size and budgets of U.S. government agencies, downsize the federal workforce, and restructure parts of the executive branch of the federal government have directly or indirectly impacted agencies that support research and development activities or are otherwise important to our business, including the HHS and the FDA. If legislation, administrative action, or changes in policy prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting routine inspections, reviews, or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to provide feedback on our clinical programs, meet with or engage in other informal interactions with us, and review and process our regulatory submissions (including our pending regulatory submissions) in a timely manner. These developments may also reduce the FDA's capacity to engage in pre-approval or guidance meetings or meetings to negotiate labeling or post-marketing commitments. Furthermore, changes in FDA personnel and policy (such as the 2025 reductions in communication and policymaking roles) may negatively impact the transparency of agency actions, lead to modifications in FDA approval requirements, and alter the FDA's existing guidance pertinent to the development strategy for our products and product candidates. In addition, the U.S. government has shut down multiple times in the recent past and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, had to furlough employees and stop some of their activities. A prolonged government shutdown or a widespread freeze on federal funding could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions or cause other agencies that support the FDA to slow their work. Any such factors could have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we believe we meet eligibility requirements, we may apply for various regulatory incentives in the United States, such as breakthrough therapy designation, fast track designation, accelerated approval, or priority review, or the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher (CNPV) program, where potentially available, that serve to expedite drug development and/or review, and we may also seek similar designations elsewhere in the world. Often, regulatory agencies have broad discretion in determining whether or not product candidates qualify for such regulatory incentives and benefits, and we cannotmay guaranteefail weto would be successful in obtainingobtain beneficial regulatory designations byfrom the FDA or other regulatory agencies. Even if obtained, such designations may not result in faster development processes, reviews, or approvals compared to drugs or biologics considered for approval under conventional FDA procedures. In addition, the FDA may later decide that any of our development programs no longer meets the conditions for a beneficial regulatory designation (including due to factors beyond our control, such as intervening competitive developments) or decide that the time period for FDA review or approval will not be shortened. FDA guidance relating to accelerated approval of oncology therapeutics indicates that a confirmatory trial for a particular oncology product candidate should be underway when the related BLAmarketing application is submitted to the FDA and also states that the FDA may require that a confirmatory trial for a particular oncology product candidate be well underway, if not fully enrolled, by the time of the accelerated approval action. Application of this guidance and related rules to our product candidates may result in a delay of the FDA review and approval process despite any earlier beneficial regulatory designation such product candidates may have received. For example, in March 2024, the FDA issued CRLs concerning our BLA for odronextamab for the treatment of relapsed/refractory FL and DLBCL due to the enrollment status of confirmatory Phase 3 trials.trials, which, along with the July 2025 CRL discussed below, has delayed any potential FDA approval of odronextamab.
Before approving a new drug or biologic product, the FDA and such comparable foreign regulatory authorities require that the facilities at which the product will be manufactured or advanced through the supply chain be in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, requirements and regulations governing the manufacture, shipment, and storage of the product. Additionally, manufacturers of drugs and biological products and their facilities are subject to payment of substantial user fees and continual review and periodic inspections by the FDA and other regulatory authorities for compliance with cGMP regulations and adherence to any commitments made in the applicable NDA or BLA. These cGMP requirements and regulations are not prescriptive instructions on how to manufacture products, but rather a series of principles that must be observed during manufacturing; as a result, the manner in which such principles are implemented may not be specifically delineated, which can be challenging as the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities increasingly scrutinize compliance with these requirements and regulations. As a result, manufacturing product candidates in compliance with these regulatory requirements is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. To be successful, our products must be manufactured in compliance with regulatory requirements, and at competitive costs. If we or any of our third-party manufacturers, product packagers, labelers, or other parties performing steps in the supply chain are unable to maintain regulatory compliance with cGMP, the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities can impose monetary penalties or other civil or criminal sanctions, including, among other things, refusal to approve a pending application for a new drug or biologic product, or revocation of a pre-existing approval. ForWe example,have inrecently Augustreceived 2024,several CRLs from the FDA issuedfor aregulatory submissions concerning our products or product candidates due to the FDA's findings from inspections at third-party manufacturers responsible for filling drug product. These include the July 2025 CRL concerning the Company's BLA for linvoseltamabodronextamab in relapsed/refractory multipleFL, myeloma due to findings from a pre-approval inspection at a third-party fill/finish provider for another company's product candidate. While the linvoseltamab BLAwhich has recentlydelayed been resubmitted to the FDA, this has resulted in a delay offurther any potential FDA approval of odronextamab in this productindication; candidate.and the October 2025 CRL concerning our regulatory application seeking approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe (as discussed in Part I, Item 1. "Business - Programs in Clinical Development - Additional Information - Clinical Development Programs - EYLEA HD"), which has delayed further any potential FDA approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe. For additional information, see "Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply - Our or our collaborators' or contract manufacturers' failure to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates could result in incurring substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if regulatory approval is obtained, and a reduction in sales." Our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed as a result of noncompliance with the requirements and regulations described in this paragraph.
We are also subject to ongoing requirements imposed by the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities governing the labeling, packaging, storage, distribution, safety surveillance, advertising, promotion, record-keeping, and reporting of safety and other post-marketing information. The holder of an approved BLANDA, BLA, or foreign equivalent is obligated to monitor and report adverse events and any failure of a product to meet the specifications in the BLA.application. The holder of an approved BLANDA, BLA, or foreign equivalent must also submit new or supplemental applications and obtain FDA or other regulatory approval for certain changes to the approved product, product labeling, or manufacturing process. Advertising and promotional materials must comply with FDA regulations and those of foreign regulatory authorities and may be subject to other potentially applicable federal and state laws. The applicable regulations in countriesjurisdictions outside the U.S. grant similar powers to the competent authorities and impose similar obligations on companies.
In addition to the FDA and other regulatory agency regulations in the United States, we are subject to a variety of foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials, manufacturing, marketing and approval of drugs,approval, and commercial sale and distribution of drugs and biologics in countriesjurisdictions outside the United States. The foreign regulatory approval process is similarly a lengthy and expensive process, the result of which is highly uncertain, and foreign regulatory requirements generally include all of the risks associated with FDA approval as well as country specificjurisdiction-specific regulations. We and our collaborators must maintain regulatory compliance for the products we or they commercialize in countriesjurisdictions outside the United States. From time to time, we may hold a product's marketing approval in a jurisdiction outside the United States where we may have less experience and where our regulatory capabilities may beare more limited; for example, this is now the case for Libtayo in many jurisdictions outside the United States (including Europe and Japan) due to the transition under the A&RAmended IOand LCARestated discussedImmuno-oncology above.License and Collaboration Agreement with Sanofi. In addition, actions by a regulatory agency in a country or region with respect to a product candidate may have an impact on the approval process for that product candidate in another country or region. Foreign regulatory authorities may ask for additional data in order to begin a clinical study, including Phase 3 clinical trials required to submit aan MAA in the EU. In addition, such authorities often have the authority to require post-approval studies, such as a PASS and/or a PAES, which involve various risks similar to those described above. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product in the United States, we must obtain approval of the product by the comparable regulatory authorities in countriesjurisdictions outside the United States before we can market that product or any other product in those countries.jurisdictions.
Furthermore, we are subject to extensive pharmacovigilance reporting and other pharmacovigilance requirements, which may differ in the numerous countriesjurisdictions in which we conduct clinical trials or commercialize a product. Failure to comply with any such requirements may result in the premature closure of the clinical trials and other enforcement actions by the relevant regulatory authorities. For example, if we do not manage to retain a QPPV, to maintain a PSMF, or to comply with other pharmacovigilance obligations in the EEA, we may be at risk of our clinical trials beingmay be closed prematurely, our marketing authorization beingmay be suspended, and we may be subject to other enforcement actions by the national competent authorities of the EEA or the EC.
As described above, we must conduct extensive testing of our product candidates and new indications of our marketed products before we can obtain regulatory approval to market and sell them. We need to conduct both preclinical animal testing and human clinical trials. Conducting such studies is a lengthy, time-consuming, and expensive process. These tests and trials may not achieve favorable results for many reasons, including, among others, failure of the product candidate to demonstrate safety or efficacy; the development of serious or life-threatening adverse events (or side effects) caused by or connected with exposure to the product candidate (or prior or concurrent exposure to other products or product candidates); difficulty in enrolling and maintaining subjects in a clinical trial; clinical trial design that may not make it possible to enroll or retain a sufficient number of patients to achieve a statistically significant result or the desired level of statistical significance for the endpoint in question; lack of sufficient supplies of the product candidate or comparator drug; and the failure of clinical investigators, trial monitors, contractors, consultants, or trial subjects to comply with the trial plan, protocol, or applicable regulations related to GLPs or GCPs. Certain of these risks may be exacerbated as we pursue development of drugs generated by means other than our established "Trap" or VelociSuite technologies, such as siRNA gene silencing, genome editing, and targeted viral-based gene delivery and expression. A clinical trial may also fail because the dose(s) of the investigational drug included in the trial were either too low or too high to determine the optimal effect of the investigational drug in the disease setting.
Furthermore, somean increasing number of our products and product candidates (such asincluding Libtayo) are being studied in combination with agents and treatments developed by us or our collaborators. There may be additional risks and unforeseen safety issues resulting from such combined administration, any of which may materially adversely impact clinical development of these product candidates and our ability to obtain regulatory approval.
Only a small minority of all research and development programs ultimately result in commercially successful drugs. Clinical trials may not demonstrate statistically sufficient effectiveness and safety to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for these product candidates in these indications. Many companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including our Company, have suffered significant setbacks in clinical trials, even after promising results had been obtained in earlier trials. For example, in May 2025, we and Sanofi announced that one of two Phase 3 trials evaluating itepekimab in adults who were former smokers with inadequately controlled COPD did not meet its primary endpoint, as further described under Part I, Item 1. "Business - Programs in Clinical Development - Additional Information - Clinical Development Programs - Itepekimab." In a number of instances, we have terminated the development of product candidates due to a lack of or only modest effectiveness and/or safety concerns, and clinical trials evaluating our product candidates have failed to meet the relevant endpoints. Moreover, even if we obtain positive results from preclinical testing or clinical trials, we may not achieve the same success in future trials, or the FDA and analogous foreign regulatory authorities may deem the results insufficient for an approval. If concerns arise about the safety of a product candidate or non-compliance with the protocol or applicable regulatory requirements, the FDA or other regulatory authorities can delay or suspend a clinical trial by placing it on a full or partial "clinical hold" pending receipt of additional data or the satisfaction of other conditions. A clinical hold may require us to spend significant resources to address the underlying causes of the clinical hold and may result in a delay in the clinical program, which may be significant. In addition, if we are not able to successfully address such underlying causes or our response is not deemed adequate to lift the clinical hold, the clinical program may have to be terminated. Furthermore, changes in FDA personnel may alter the FDA's advice with respect to our development strategy and lead to delays or rejections of our clinical trial protocols or data. Any such clinical program delays or terminations may adversely affect our business.
Serious complications or side effects in connection with the use or development of our products and in clinical trials for ouror product candidates and new indications for our marketed products could cause our regulatory approvals to be revoked or limited or lead to delay or discontinuation of development of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, which could severely harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
For example, with respect to EYLEA HD and EYLEA, there are many potential safety concerns associated with significant blockade of VEGF, as well as risks inherent in their intravitreal administration. While the safety of EYLEA HD was similar to EYLEA in clinical trials, it is possible that the use of EYLEA HD outside the clinical trial setting in a broader patient group (i.e., real-world use) may yield different outcomes or patient experiences. In addition, there are risks inherent in subcutaneous injections (which are used for administering most of our antibody-based products and product candidates, such as Dupixent) and intravenous administration (which is used for some of our other antibody-based products and product candidates, such as Libtayo). Some of our marketed products, such as Dupixent and Libtayo, are being studied in additional indications, as shown in the table under Part I, Item 1. "Business - Programs in Clinical Development." There is no guarantee that the safety data from these trials will be consistent with the known safety profiles of these products or that regulatory approval of any of these additional indications will be successfully obtained. Commercialization of our other products and potential future commercialization of our product candidates may also be impacted by actions of third parties on which we rely, such as manufacturers of syringes or other devices used in the administration of our products. These and other complications or issues or side effects could harm further development and/or commercialization of our products and product candidates.

We have entered into various collaborative arrangements to research, develop, manufacture, and commercialize products and/or product candidates. Our collaboration agreements may require us to deliver various rights, services, and/or goods across the entire life cycle of a product or product candidate. In agreements involving multiple goods or services promised to be transferred to our collaborator, we assess, at the inception of the contract, whether each promise represents a separate obligation (i.e., is "distinct"), or whether such promises should be combined as a single unit of account.see in full comparisonWhen we have a combined unit of account which includes a license and providing research and development services to our collaborator, recognition of up-front payments and development milestones earned from our collaborator is deferred (as a liability) and recognized over the development period (i.e., over time) typically using an input method on the basis of our research and development costs incurred relative to the total expected cost which determines the extent of our progress toward completion. We review our estimates each period and make revisions to such estimates as necessary. Due to the variability in the scope of activities and length of time necessary to develop a drug product, potential delays in development programs, changes to development plans and budgets as programs progress, including if we and our collaborators decide to expand or contract our clinical plans for a drug candidate in various disease indications, and uncertainty in the ultimate requirements to obtain governmental approval for commercialization, revisions to our estimates are likely to occur periodically, potentially resulting in material changes to amounts recognized.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a fully integrated biotechnology company that invents, develops, manufactures, and commercializes medicines for people with serious diseases. Our research and development efforts have led to numerous approved products that have received marketing approval and approximately 4045 product candidates currently in clinical development (including a number of marketed products for which we are investigating additional indications), most of which were homegrown in our laboratories.
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 our products, including EYLEA HD, EYLEA,HD 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. There is uncertainty surrounding 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.

When we have a combined unit of account which includes a license and providing research and development services to our collaborator, recognition of up-front payments and development milestones earned from our collaborator is deferred (as a liability) and recognized over the development period (i.e., over time) typically using an input method on the basis of our research and development costs incurred relative to the total expected cost which determines the extent of our progress toward completion. We review our estimates each period and make revisions to such estimates as necessary. Due to the variability in the scope of activities and length of time necessary to develop a drug product, potential delays in development programs, changes to development plans and budgets as programs progress, including if we and our collaborators decide to expand or contract our clinical plans for a drug candidate in various disease indications, and uncertainty in the ultimate requirements to obtain governmental approval for commercialization, revisions to our estimates are likely to occur periodically, potentially resulting in material changes to amounts recognized.
•share in any profits or losses arising from the commercialization of such products, we record our share of the variable consideration, representing net product sales less cost of goods sold and shared commercialization and other expenses, in the period in which such underlying sales occur and costs are incurred by the collaborator; and
We recognize stock-based compensation expense for equity grants under our long-term incentive plans to employees and non-employee members of our board of directors (as applicable) based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The grant-date fair value of an award is generally recognized as compensation expense over the award's requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense also includes an estimate, which is made at the time of grant, of the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited. The forfeiture rate estimate is calculated by considering both historical forfeiture experience and an estimate of expected future forfeitures for currently outstanding unvested awards. This estimate is reviewed at least annually and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The assumptions used in computing the fair value of equity awards reflect our best estimates but involve uncertainties related to market and other conditions, many of which are outside our control. Changes in any of these assumptions may materially affect the fair value of awards granted and the amount of stock-based compensation recognized in future periods.
We use the Black-Scholes model to compute the estimated fair value of stock option awards. Using this model, fair value is calculated based on assumptions with respect to (i) expected volatility of our Common Stock price, (ii) the periods of time over which employees and members of our board of directors are expected to hold their options prior to exercise (expected lives), (iii) expected dividend yield on our Common Stock, which is based on our historical practice and expectation of future dividend payments, and (iv) risk-free interest rates, which are based on quoted U.S. Treasury rates for securities with maturities approximating the options' expected lives. Expected volatility is estimated based on actual movements in our stock price over the most recent historical periods equivalent to the options' expected lives. Expected lives are principally based on our historical exercise experience with previously issued employee and board of director option grants.
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns, including deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected amounts of Net CFC Tested Income (“NCTI”) (formerly known as global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI")) inclusions. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined as the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts ("temporary differences") at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets for which it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We periodically re-assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, results of recent operations, and our historical earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment.
Net product sales of EYLEA HD increased in 2025 compared to 2024, due to higher sales volumes, partly offset by a lower net selling price. EYLEA HD was approved by the FDA in August 2023.
Net product sales of EYLEA decreased in 2025 compared to 2024, due to (i) lower sales volumes as a result of continued competitive pressures (as described below), loss in market share to compounded bevacizumab due to patient affordability constraints, and the continued transition of patients to EYLEA HD, and (ii) a lower net selling price.
EYLEA net product sales have been, and are likely to continue to be, negatively impacted by increased competition from other anti-VEGF products, including biosimilars, as well as the transition of patients from EYLEA to EYLEA HD. The magnitude and duration of such impact is presently unknown. For more information, see Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors - Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Marketed Products, Product Candidates, and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - We are substantially dependent on the success of EYLEA HD, EYLEA, and Dupixent" and "The commercial success of our products and product candidates is subject to significant competition - Marketed Products." In addition, if independent not-for-profit patient assistance funds that provide copay assistance are unable to support eligible patients, this will likely have a continued negative impact on patient affordability resulting in lower utilization of higher-cost anti-VEGF agents.
Total EYLEA HD and EYLEA net product sales in the U.S. increased in 2024 compared to 2023. EYLEA HD was approved by the FDA in August 2023 and net product sales in 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 HD and EYLEA in 2024 were adversely impacted by a lower net selling price compared to 2023.
Total EYLEA HD and EYLEA net product sales for the fourth quarter of 2024 were favorably impacted by approximately $85 million as a result of higher wholesaler inventory levels for EYLEA, partially offset by lower wholesaler inventory levels for EYLEA HD, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the end of the third quarter of 2024.
Antibody
The increase in our share of profits during the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, compared to 2023,2024, was driven by higher profits primarily associated with an increase in Dupixent sales.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we earned the final $50.0 million sales-based milestone from Sanofi upon aggregate annual sales of antibodies outside the United States exceeding $3.0 billion on a rolling twelve-month basis.

The decrease in our share of profits for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily driven by lower profits associated with a decrease in EYLEA sales outside the United States.
Under the terms of the Roche distributescollaboration, Roche distributed and recordsrecorded net product sales of Ronapreve™ outside the United States, and the parties shareshared gross profits from sales based on a pre-specified formula. In 2023, total Roche collaboration revenue was $211.0 million. Net product sales of Ronapreve outside the United States declined as a result of new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus emerging that are not susceptible to the treatment.
Other revenue in 2024 and 2023 included $328.6 million and $247.6 million, respectively, of royalties and share of profits earned in connection with license agreements.

As of December 31, 2024,2025, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock (including performance-based restricted stock units) was $626.7$385.8 million and $1.271$1.493 billion, respectively. We expect to recognize this stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock over a weighted-average periodperiods of 1.91.7 years.years and 2.3 years, respectively.
Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $545.4 million and $543.8 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Research and development expenses in 2025 included $155.0 million related to an FDA Rare Pediatric Disease Priority Review Voucher ("PRV"). During the fourth quarter of 2025, we made the decision to utilize the PRV for a regulatory submission; this PRV was purchased by us, and capitalized as an intangible asset, in the second quarter of 2025.
Research and development expenses included stock-based compensation expense of $543.8 million and $488.7 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased in 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to lower charitable contributions to Good Days, an independent non-profit patient assistance organization with a Retinal Vascular and Neovascular Disease Fund (the "Fund"). In July 2025, we launched a matching program for donations made to the Fund and committed to quarterly matching donations through the end of 2025. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we recognized approximately $60 million in connection with matching donations made to the Fund. We have also recently committed to matching donations for up to a total of $200 million during 2026.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased in 2024, compared to 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 $355.0$362.9 million and $307.1$355.0 million in 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively.
Gross margin on net product sales decreased in 2025, compared to 2024, partly due to ongoing investments to support our manufacturing operations and higher inventory write-offs and reserves. In addition, gross margin on net product sales decreased due to higher amortization expense associated with our Libtayo intangible asset as each quarter we record additions to the intangible asset related to royalties due to Sanofi.
Cost of goods sold increased in 2024, compared to 2023, primarily due to higher start-up costs for our Rensselaer, New York fill/finish facility.
Other Operating Expense (Income) Expense
Other operating expense (income), expense, net, in 2024 reflected a charge of $53.4 million related to the increase in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability recognized in connection with our 2023 acquisition of Decibel Therapeutics, Inc.
Other income (expense) consists of the following:
On July 4, 2025, bill H.R. 1, commonly referred to as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" or "OBBBA," was signed into law, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and other provisions becoming effective in 2026. The OBBBA significantly revises U.S. corporate income tax laws by, among other things, restoring the option for immediate expense recognition for U.S.-based research and development expenditures and making permanent the ability to claim first-year bonus depreciation on qualified property. The OBBBA also modifies U.S. taxation on foreign earnings by, among other things, changing the tax rates for global intangible low-taxed income (now known as Net CFC Tested Income) and foreign-derived intangible income (now known as foreign-derived deduction eligible income), modifying the allocation of expenses in calculating foreign tax credits, as well as changing foreign tax credit limitations. As a result of the OBBBA being signed into law, we recognized a charge of $44.5 million in the third quarter of 2025 related to the re-measurement of our U.S. net deferred tax assets.
Our effective tax rate for 2024 and 20232025 was positively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily by stock-based compensation, income earned in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate,rate and federal tax credits for research activities.activities, partially offset by the impact of the OBBBA being signed into law. In addition, our effective tax rate for 2025 was positively impacted by the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions recognized upon the effective settlement of the IRS audit of our 2017 and 2018 federal income tax returns.
Our effective tax rate for 2025, compared to 2024, included a lower benefit from stock-based compensation.
Our effective tax rate for 2024 was positively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily by stock-based compensation, income earned in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, and federal tax credits for research activities.
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 year ended December 31, 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 countries.

The programprograms hashave 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. As of December 31, 2025, $1.486 billion remained available for share repurchases under our share repurchase programs.
The table below summarizes the shares of our Common Stock that we repurchased and the cost of such shares, which were recorded as Treasury Stock.
As of December 31, 2024, $1.917 billion remained available for share repurchases under the April 2024 program.
In February 2025, 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 was approved under terms substantially similar to the repurchase programs described above.
DividendDividends
In February 2025, our board of directors declared our first quarterly cash dividend, in the amountdividends of $0.88 per share on our Common Stock and Class A Stock. TheEach cashquarterly dividend willwas be payable on March 20, 2025paid to our shareholders ofin recordthe asquarter ofin Februarywhich 20,the 2025.dividend was declared.
Additionally, in January 2026, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.94 per share on our Common Stock and Class A Stock. The dividend will be payable on March 5, 2026 to our shareholders of record as of February 20, 2026.
The Lease is classified as a finance lease as we have the option to purchase the Facility under terms that make it reasonably certain to be exercised. The agreements governing the Lease financing contain financial and operating covenants. Such financial covenants and certain of the operating covenants are substantially similar to the covenants set forth in our Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2024.2025.
The amount required to fund operations will depend on various factors, including the potential regulatory approval and commercialization of our product candidates and the timing thereof and the extent and cost of our research and development programs. We believe that our existing capital resources, borrowing availability under the Credit Facility, funds generated by anticipated product sales, and funding for reimbursement of research and development costsexpenses that we are entitled to receive under our collaboration agreements, will enable us to meet our anticipated operating needs for the foreseeable future.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in connection with our research and development activities (including preclinical and clinical programs).activities. The amount of funding that will be required for our clinical programs depends upon the results of our research and preclinical programs and early-stage clinical trials, regulatory requirements, the duration and results of clinical trials underway and of additional clinical trials that we decide to initiate, and the various factors that affect the cost of each trial, including the size of trials, fees charged for services provided by clinical trial investigators and other third parties, the costs for manufacturing the product candidate for use in the trials, and other expenses.
Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits totaled $1.314$1.578 billion as of December 31, 2024.2025. Due to their nature, there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the period and amounts of potential future cash settlement with tax authorities. We expect the IRS to conclude its examination of our 2017 and 2018 federal income tax returns within the next twelve months, and, as a result, we may be required to make a payment of approximately $120 million. See Note 15 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

•Product reimbursement and coverage policies and practices, pricing regulations and requirements, and our pricing strategy could change due to various factors (including those beyond our control,control), such as drug price control measures that have been or may be enacted or introduced in the United States by various federal and state authorities or agreements we have entered into or may in the future enter into with the U.S. government or other governmental authorities.
We are substantially dependent on revenues derived from net product sales of EYLEA HD and EYLEA. Net product sales of these products have historically represented a substantial portion of our revenues, and we expect net sales of these products to continue to be a significant contributor to our revenues and operating results, with an increasing dependence on EYLEA HD relative to our historical dependence on EYLEA. For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, our aggregate EYLEA HD and EYLEA net product sales in the United States represented 26%25% and 34%33% of our total revenues, respectively. For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, EYLEA HD U.S. net product sales represented 50%55% of our aggregate EYLEA HD and EYLEA U.S. net product sales. If we experience difficulty with the commercialization of EYLEA HD or EYLEA in the United States or if Bayer experiences any difficulty with the commercialization of EYLEA HD or EYLEA outside the United States,States beyond what has been experienced to date as described below, if EYLEA HD net product sales do not sufficiently offset any sustained decline of EYLEA net product sales in or outside the United States, or if we and Bayer are unable to maintain or obtain marketing approvals of these products (as applicable), we may experience a reduction in revenue and may not be able to stay profitable at the levels we previously achieved or at all, and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
Commercialization of EYLEA HD and EYLEA in the United States and elsewhere is subject to significant competition (as described further below under "The commercial success of our products and product candidates is subject to significant competition"), which we expect to continue to increase in the future. For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, EYLEA U.S. net product sales declined by 36%45% and 41%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periodperiods in 2025 as a result of competitive pressures and other factors described under Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations." Following the expiration of the U.S. regulatory exclusivity period for EYLEA in May 2024, several biosimilar versions of EYLEA have been approved by the FDA, and one such product has launched in the United States. EYLEA and/or EYLEA HD net product sales recorded by us are likely to continue to be negatively impacted by biosimilar competition in the United States, including competition from additional biosimilar versions of EYLEA expected to launch in the United States in the secondnear half of 2026,future, which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. In addition, we expect that competition for EYLEA and/or EYLEA HD outside the United States will continue to increase as biosimilar versions of EYLEA (including those already approved but not yet launched) are brought to market in additional countries, which may continue to negatively impact the amount of collaboration revenue we earn from Bayer. While in the last six months the FDA recently approved EYLEA HD for the treatment of RVO and for additional dosing regimens and we continue to work toward FDA approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe as discussed under Part I, Item 1.2. "BusinessManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Programs in Clinical DevelopmentOverview - Additional Information - Clinical Development Programs - EYLEA HD," there can be no assurance that these enhancements (including potential FDA approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe) will help accelerate any potential future growth of EYLEA HD net product sales. The degree to which EYLEA HD net product sales may offset further potential decreases in EYLEA net product sales, resulting from the factors discussed above or otherwise, is uncertain.
We also are substantially dependent on our share of profits from the commercialization of Dupixent under our collaboration with Sanofi (the "Antibody Collaboration"). For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, Sanofi collaboration revenue (most of which is attributable to our share of profits from the commercialization of Dupixent) represented 45%48% and 39% of our total revenues, respectively. If we or Sanofi were to experience any difficulty with the commercialization of Dupixent or if we or Sanofi are unable to maintain current marketing approvals of Dupixent, we may experience a reduction in revenue and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.

If we or our collaborators do not maintain regulatory approval for our marketed products, or obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, we will not be able to market or sell them; and if we do not obtain approvals for new indications for our marketed products, we may not be able to realize the full commercial potential of such products. Any of the foregoing may materially and negatively impact our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition."), the applicable marketing approval may be withdrawn, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Failure to comply may also subject us to sanctions, product recalls, or withdrawals of previously approved marketing applications. See also "Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply - Our or our collaborators' or contract manufacturers' failure to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates could result in incurring substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if regulatory approval is obtained, and a reduction in sales" below.
As our currently marketed products and most of our product candidates are biologics, genetics medicines, peptides, or other complex therapeutics, bringing them to market may cost more than bringing traditional, small-molecule drugs to market due to the complexity associated with the research, development, production, supply, and regulatory review of such products. Given cost sensitivities in many healthcare systems, our currently marketed products and product candidates are likely to be subject to continued pricing pressures, which may have an adverse impact on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
In many countries outside the United States, pricing, coverage, and level of reimbursement of prescription drugs are subject to governmental control, and we and our collaborators may be unable to obtain coverage, pricing, and/or reimbursement on terms that are favorable to us or necessary for us or our collaborators to successfully commercialize our marketed products in those countries. In some of these countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing drug pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country, and may take into account the clinical effectiveness, cost, and service impact of existing, new, and emerging drugs and treatments. For example, the EU provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use. A member state may approve a specific price for the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect limitations on the profitability of the medicinal product placed on the market. In addition, in many countries outside the United States, we or our collaborators must participate in a tender process for public procurement of our products, and any failure to obtain acceptable pricing in the tender process could adversely affect our business. Our results of operations may suffer if we or our collaborators are unable to market our products in countries outside the United States or if coverage and reimbursement for our marketed products in such countries is limited or delayed. As discussed below under "If we are unable to maintain or establish sufficient commercial capabilities outside the United States for products we currently commercialize or co-commercialize, or intend to commercialize or co-commercialize in the future, outside the United States, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected," we will need to manage these and other commercialization-related risks in order for us to successfully maintain and/or further develop sufficient commercial capabilities outside the United States.
•Implementation of a Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program (the "Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program"). The Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program requires the government to set prices for select high-expenditure drugs covered under Medicare Parts B and D. Starting inSince 2023 and 2026, the government ishas authorizedbeen toin selectthe process of selecting Part D and Part B drugs, respectively, for inclusion in the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, with established prices tofor gothe intofirst effectcycle forof selected Part D drugs inhaving gone into effect at the beginning of 2026 and established prices for the first cycle of selected Part B drugs slated to go into effect in 2028, in each case absent certain disqualifying events.
It is currently unclear whether and to what extent the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program or the other policy changes described above will ultimately impact reimbursement levels of our marketed products covered under Medicare Part B or Medicare Part D, or our product candidates that may be covered under Medicare Part B or Medicare Part D in the future.
The full extent to which the policy changes described above will ultimately impact reimbursement levels of our marketed products, including those covered under Medicare Part B (such as EYLEA HD and EYLEA), or our product candidates that may be covered under Medicare Part B or Medicare Part D in the future, is currently unclear. In addition, the current U.S. administration is pursuing other measures to reduce the cost of drugs in the United States. For example, in May 2025, an executive order directed the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") and other federal agencies to take certain steps intended to, among other things, reduce the prices of drugs sold in the United States to match the lowest price available for the same drugs in comparably developed nations. In addition, a prior executive order from April 2025 directed the HHS to take appropriate steps to, among other things, modify certain provisions of the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, develop and implement a payment model to reduce the price of high-cost prescription drugs and biological products covered by Medicare, accelerate approval of generic and biosimilar products, and facilitate the ability of states to import pharmaceuticals from other countries. In response to these executive orders, in December 2025, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation proposed two mandatory Medicare payment models that, if finalized, would apply to certain drugs covered under Medicare Parts B and D and test whether alternative methodologies for calculating inflationary rebates based on international reference pricing would reduce Medicare spending. It is currently unclear how and to what extent the measures described in this paragraph may be implemented and what impact any such implementation would have on our Company.
In April 2026, in response to the May 2025 executive order described above and a related letter that we and certain other pharmaceutical companies received from President Trump, we entered into the U.S. Government Agreements, pursuant to which we have agreed, among other matters, to provide certain of our products that we wholly own in the United States to the Medicaid program, and to price certain future medicines in the United States, at orprices belowno greater than Most-Favored-Nation Pricing. The U.S. Government Agreements further provide that Regeneron's products will not face tariffs as a result of the investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended ("Section 232"), through January 2029 so long as the Company continues its commitments to invest in manufacturing and research and development infrastructure in the United States. The U.S. Government Agreements will likely result, and any potential future agreements with government entities could also result, in reduced prices and reimbursement for certain of our current and future marketed products and may impact our results of operations. See Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview – Recent Developments – Agreement with the U.S. Government." We also remain subject to any current or future pricing mandates implemented outside the United States, and it is possible that current or future pricing regulations may have a material impact on our business and results of operations.
EYLEA HD and EYLEA. EYLEA HD and EYLEA face significant competition in the marketplace. For example, each of EYLEA HD and EYLEA competes in one or more of its approved indications with other VEGF inhibitors. These include Genentech/Roche's Vabysmo® (faricimab-svoa) and Susvimo® (ranibizumab ocular implant); Novartis and Genentech/Roche's Lucentis® (ranibizumab); Novartis' Beovu® (brolucizumab); and a biosimilar version of Lucentis commercialized in the United States by BiogenHarrow, Inc. In addition, biosimilar versions of EYLEA have been approved and/or launched both in and outside the United States, including Amgen's Pavblu™ (aflibercept-ayyh) in the United States. We are aware of several other companies developing biosimilar versions of EYLEA, EYLEA HD, and/or other approved anti-VEGF treatments. We expect that biosimilar competition for EYLEA will continue to increase as additional biosimilar versions of EYLEA are launched in the United States and other countries, the timing of which will depend on, among other factors, the outcome of the pending patent litigation proceedings and the settlement terms of the previously pending litigation proceedings (including those described in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report) and the expiration of the patents protecting EYLEA (including those set forth under Part I - Item 1. "Business - Patents, Trademarks, and Trade Secrets" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (filed February 4, 2026)). Ophthalmologists are also using off-label, third-party repackaged versions of Genentech/Roche's approved VEGF antagonist, bevacizumab, for the treatment of certain of EYLEA HD's and EYLEA's respective indications, and we are aware of another company developingwith an ophthalmic formulation of such product that has been approved in the United States and the EU. In DME and RVO, EYLEA HD and EYLEA also compete with intravitreal implants of corticosteroids. We are also aware of a number of companies working on the development of product candidates and extended delivery devices for the potential treatment of one or more of EYLEA HD's and EYLEA's respective indications, including those that act by blocking VEGF and VEGF receptors (including therapies designed to extend the treatment interval) and/or other targets. Other potentially competitive products in development include products for use in combination with EYLEA and/or other anti-VEGF treatments, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors, gene therapies, and other eye-drop formulations, devices, and oral therapies. There also is a risk that third parties repackage ZALTRAP for off-label use and sale for the treatment of diseases of the eye, even though ZALTRAP has not been manufactured and formulated for use in intravitreal injections. We are aware of claims by third parties, including those based on published clinical data, alleging that ZALTRAP may be safely administered to the eye.
Other marketed products. There is also significant actual and potential future competition for other products marketed or otherwise commercialized by us and/or our collaborators under our collaboration agreements with them. For example, Lynozyfic faces significant actual and potential future competition from other bispecific antibodies and CAR-T cell therapies targeting BCMA, GPRC5D, and/or other targets that are currently approved or in development for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. In addition, there are several companies that are marketing and/or developing antibodies or other molecules (such as small interfering RNA molecules, or siRNAs, and oral small molecules) against PCSK9, ANGPTL3 and IL-6 and/or IL-6R, which currently (or, for product candidates in development, may in the future if approved) treat the same conditions as Praluent, Evkeeza, and Kevzara, respectively.
We sell our marketed products for which we record net product sales in the United States to several distributors and specialty pharmacies, as applicable (collectively, "distributor customers"), which generally sell the product directly to healthcare providers or other pharmacies (as applicable). For each of the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, our product sales to two distributor customers accounted on a combined basis for 75% and 76% of our total gross product revenue, respectively.revenue. We expect significant distributor customer concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate and grow sales of our products will depend, in part, on the extent to which our distributor customers are able to provide adequate distribution of our products to healthcare providers. Although we believe we can find additional distributors, if necessary, our revenue during any period of disruption could suffer and we might incur additional costs. In addition, these distributor customers are responsible for a significant portion of our net trade accounts receivable balances. The loss of any large distributor customer, a significant reduction in sales we make to them, any cancellation of orders they have made with us, or any failure to pay for the products we have shipped to them could adversely affect our results of operations. Commercialization of any of our marketed products may also be adversely impacted by vertical integration of private payor healthcare and insurance programs, health maintenance organizations, and PBMs, or further consolidation among the healthcare providers served or operated by our distributor customers if, for example, one or more consolidated groups of healthcare providers determines not to use (or decides to switch from) such marketed product in favor of a competing product. See also "The commercial success of our products and product candidates is subject to significant competition - Marketed Products" above.
If we are unable to maintain or establish sufficient commercial capabilities outside the United States for products we currently commercialize or co-commercialize, or intend to commercialize or co-commercialize in the future, outside the United States, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.
While we have made progress with establishing commercial capabilities in certain jurisdictions outside the United States in recent years (primarily in connection with our acquisition of the worldwide rights to Libtayo in 2022 and the exercise of our option under the Antibody Collaboration to co-commercialize Dupixent in certain jurisdictions outside the United States), our commercial capabilities and experience with commercializing products outside the United States (as well as obtaining and/or maintaining regulatory approvals and securing pricing and reimbursement for our products outside the United States) are still somewhat limited. There may be other circumstances in which we need to establish further commercial capabilities outside the United States, including because we decide to commercialize other products independently (such as Lynozyfic and Ordspono, which we recently launched in the EU); we are unable to find an appropriate collaborator; or an existing collaborator decides to opt out or breaches its obligations to us with respect to a particular product.
According to the FDA policies under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, the FDA system of review times for new drugs and biologics includes standard review and priority review. While the FDA has performance goals that provide for action on NDA and BLA submissions by certain deadlines, the FDA's review goals are subject to change and the duration of the FDA's review depends on a number of factors, including the number and types of other applications that are submitted to the FDA around the same time period or are pending. The FDA's review of our regulatory submissions has in the past been delayed, and may be delayed in the future, due to the FDA's request for additional information or for other reasons, including those beyond our control (such as recent changes in FDA leadership, the 2025 reduction in staffing at the FDA, and any future reductions of staffing or other resources at the FDA, as discussed further below).
The functioning of the FDA is affected by a variety of factors, such as shifting government priorities, budgets and funding levels, authorization and payment of user fees, the ability to hire and retain key personnel, as well as other statutory, regulatory, and policy changes impacting HHS, the FDA, or other HHS agencies. U.S. policy changes have recently been implemented at a rapid pace, and additional changes may occur. For example, there have been recent efforts implemented or commenced in 2025 to reduce the size and budgets of U.S. government agencies, downsize the federal workforce, and restructure parts of the executive branch of the federal governmentgovernment. These efforts have directly or indirectly impacted agencies that support research and development activities or are otherwise important to our business, including the HHS and the FDA. There have also been ongoing senior leadership changes at the HHS and the FDA. If legislation, administrative action, or changes in policypolicy, or the continued loss of experienced senior leadership and career staff prevent the FDA or other regulatory authorities from conducting routine inspections, reviews, or other regulatory activities, it could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to provide feedback on our clinical programs, meet with or engage in other informal interactions with us, and review and process our regulatory submissions (including our pending regulatory submissions) in a timely manner. These developments may also reduce the FDA's capacity to engage in pre-approval or guidance meetings or meetings to negotiate labeling or post-marketing commitments. Furthermore, changes in FDA personnel and policy (such as thethose 2025referenced reductions in communication and policymaking rolesabove) may negatively impact the transparency of agency actions, lead to modifications in FDA approval requirements,requirements and related FDA review and approval delays, and alter the FDA's existing guidance pertinent to the development strategy for our products and product candidates. In addition, the U.S. government has shut down multiple times in the recent past and certain regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, have had to furlough employees and stop some of their activities. A prolonged government shutdown or a widespread freeze on federal funding could significantly impact the ability of the FDA to timely review and process our regulatory submissions or cause other agencies that support the FDA to slow their work. Any such factors could have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we believe we meet eligibility requirements, we may apply for various regulatory incentives in the United States, such as breakthrough therapy designation, fast track designation, accelerated approval, priority review, or the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher (CNPV) program, where potentially available, that serve to expedite drug development and/or review, and we may also seek similar designations elsewhere in the world. Often, regulatory agencies have broad discretion in determining whether or not product candidates qualify for such regulatory incentives and benefits, and we may fail to obtain beneficial regulatory designations from the FDA or other regulatory agencies. Even if obtained, such designations may not result in faster development processes, reviews, or approvals compared to drugs or biologics considered for approval under conventional FDA procedures. In addition, the FDA may later decide that any of our development programs no longer meets the conditions for a beneficial regulatory designation (including due to factors beyond our control, such as intervening competitive developments) or decide that the time period for FDA review or approval will not be shortened. FDA guidance relating to accelerated approval of oncology therapeutics indicates that a confirmatory trial for a particular oncology product candidate should be underway when the related marketing application is submitted to the FDA and also states that the FDA may require that a confirmatory trial for a particular oncology product candidate be well underway, if not fully enrolled, by the time of the accelerated approval action. Application of this guidance and related rules to our product candidates may result in a delay of the FDA review and approval process despite any earlier beneficial regulatory designation such product candidates may have received. For example, in March 2024, the FDA issued CRLs concerning our BLA for odronextamab for the treatment of relapsed/refractory FL and DLBCL due to the enrollment status of confirmatory Phase 3 trials, which, along with the July 2025 CRL discussed below, has delayed anythe potential FDA approval of odronextamab.
Before approving a new drug or biological product, the FDA and such comparable foreign regulatory authorities require that the facilities at which the product will be manufactured or advanced through the supply chain be in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, requirements and regulations governing the manufacture, shipment, and storage of the product. Additionally, manufacturers of drugs and biological products and their facilities are subject to payment of substantial user fees and continual review and periodic inspections by the FDA and other regulatory authorities for compliance with cGMP regulations and adherence to any commitments made in the applicable NDA or BLA. These cGMP requirements and regulations are not prescriptive instructions on how to manufacture products, but rather a series of principles that must be observed during manufacturing; as a result, the manner in which such principles are implemented may not be specifically delineated, which can be challenging as the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities increasingly scrutinize compliance with these requirements and regulations. As a result, manufacturing product candidates in compliance with these regulatory requirements is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. To be successful, our products must be manufactured in compliance with regulatory requirements, and at competitive costs. If we or any of our third-party manufacturers, product packagers, labelers, or other parties performing steps in the supply chain are unable to maintain regulatory compliance with cGMP, the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities can impose monetary penalties or other civil or criminal sanctions, including, among other things, refusal to approve a pending application for a new drug or biological product, or revocation of a pre-existing approval. We have recently received several CRLs from the FDA for regulatory submissions concerning our products or product candidates due to the FDA's findings from inspections at third-party manufacturers responsible for filling drug product. These include the July 2025 CRL concerning the BLA for odronextamab in relapsed/refractory FL, which has delayed further anythe potential FDA approval of odronextamab in this indication; and the October 2025 CRL concerning our regulatory application seeking approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe, which has delayed further anythe potential FDA approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe. For additional information, see "Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply - Our or our collaborators' or contract manufacturers' failure to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates could result in incurring substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if regulatory approval is obtained, and a reduction in sales." Our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed as a result of noncompliance with the requirements and regulations described in this paragraph.
In addition to the FDA and other regulatory agency regulations in the United States, we are subject to a variety of foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials, manufacturing, marketing and approval, and commercial sale and distribution of drugs and biologics in jurisdictions outside the United States. The foreign regulatory approval process is similarly a lengthy and expensive process, the result of which is highly uncertain, and foreign regulatory requirements generally include the risks associated with FDA approval as well as jurisdiction-specific regulations. We and our collaborators must maintain regulatory compliance for the products we or they commercialize in jurisdictions outside the United States. From time to time, we may hold a product's marketing approval in a jurisdiction outside the United States where we have less experience and where our regulatory capabilities are more limited; for example, this is now the case for Libtayo in many jurisdictions outside the United States (including Europe and Japan) due to theour transitionacquisition underof the Amendedworldwide andrights Restatedto Immuno-oncologyLibtayo Licensein and Collaboration Agreement with Sanofi.2022. In addition, actions by a regulatory agency in a country or region with respect to a product candidate may have an impact on the approval process for that product candidate in another country or region. Foreign regulatory authorities may ask for additional data in order to begin a clinical study, including Phase 3 clinical trials required to submit an MAA in the EU. In addition, such authorities often have the authority to require post-approval studies, such as a post-authorization safety study ("PASS") and/or a post-authorization efficacy study ("PAES"), which involve various risks similar to those described above. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product in the United States, we must obtain approval of the product by the comparable regulatory authorities in jurisdictions outside the United States before we can market that product or any other product in those jurisdictions.
As described above, we must conduct extensive testing of our product candidates and new indications of our marketed products before we can obtain regulatory approval to market and sell them. We need to conduct both preclinical animal testing and human clinical trials. Conducting such studies is a lengthy, time-consuming, and expensive process. These tests and trials may not achieve favorable results for many reasons, including, among others, failure of the product candidate to demonstrate safety or efficacy; the development of serious or life-threatening adverse events (or side effects) caused by or connected with exposure to the product candidate (or prior or concurrent exposure to other products or product candidates); difficulty in enrolling and maintaining subjects in a clinical trial; clinical trial design that may make it impossible to enroll or retain a sufficient number of patients to achieve a statistically significant result or the desired level of statistical significance for the endpoint in question; lack of sufficient supplies of the product candidate or comparator drug; and the failure of clinical investigators, trial monitors, contractors, consultants, or trial subjects to comply with the trial plan, protocol, or applicable regulations related to Good Laboratory Practice requirements ("GLPs") or GCPs. Given the evolving standards of care for certain conditions, approval of a product candidate to treat such conditions may rely on clinical endpoints that are no longer fit-for-purpose, and there may not be a consensus between clinical trial sponsors (including us) and the FDA or other regulatory authorities as to which other endpoints are adequately validated as a substitute and should be sufficient as a basis for regulatory approval. Certain of these risks may be exacerbated as we pursue development of drugs generated by means other than our established "Trap" or VelociSuite technologies, such as siRNA gene silencing, genome editing, and targeted viral-based gene delivery and expression. A clinical trial may also fail because the dose(s) of the investigational drug included in the trial were either too low or too high to determine the optimal effect of the investigational drug in the disease setting.
Additionally, conducting clinical trials in countries outside the United States presents additional risks, including political and economic risks such as armed conflict and economic embargoes or boycotts. For example, we and our collaborators are currently conducting and may in the future conduct or initiate clinical trials with sites in Russia, Ukraine, and/or Israel. While we currently do not expect the Russia-Ukraine war, Israel's armed conflicts within Iran,the Lebanon,Middle or Hamas,East, or related developments to have a significant impact on our ability to obtain results from clinical trials conducted by us or our collaborators, further escalation (whether in these countries or surrounding areas) may adversely affect our ability to adequately conduct certain clinical trials and maintain compliance with relevant protocols due to, among other reasons, the prioritization of hospital resources away from clinical trials, reallocation or evacuation of site staff and subjects, or as a result of government-imposed curfews, warfare, violence, or other governmental action or other events that restrict movement. These developments may also result in our inability to access sites for monitoring or to obtain data or samples from affected sites or patients going forward. We could also experience disruptions in our supply chain or limits to our ability to provide sufficient investigational materials in such countries and surrounding regions. Clinical trial sites may suspend or terminate the trials being conducted and patients could be forced to evacuate or choose to relocate, making them unavailable for initial or further participation in such trials. Alternative sites in these areas may not be available and we may need to find other countries to conduct the relevant trials. Furthermore, military action may prevent the FDA or other regulatory agencies from inspecting clinical sites in these countries. Such interruptions may delay our plans for clinical development and approvals for our product candidates.
Only a small minority of all research and development programs ultimately result in commercially successful products. Clinical trials may not demonstrate statistically sufficient effectiveness and safety to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for particular product candidates in particular indications. Many companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including our Company, have suffered significant setbacks in clinical trials, even after promising results had been obtained in earlier trials. For example, in May 2025,2026, we and Sanofi announced that one of twoa Phase 3 trialstrial evaluating itepekimabfianlimab in adults who were former smokerscombination with inadequatelyLibtayo controlledin COPDfirst-line metastatic melanoma did not meetreach statistical significance for its primary endpoint.endpoint compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy. In a number of instances, we have terminated the development of product candidates due to a lack of or only modest effectiveness and/or safety concerns, and clinical trials evaluating our product candidates have failed to meet the relevant endpoints. Moreover, even if we obtain positive results from preclinical testing or clinical trials, we may not achieve the same success in future trials, or the FDA and/or analogous foreign regulatory authorities may deem the results insufficient for an approval. If concerns arise about the safety of a product candidate or non-compliance with the protocol or applicable regulatory requirements, the FDA or other regulatory authorities can delay or suspend a clinical trial by placing it on a full or partial "clinical hold" pending receipt of additional data or the satisfaction of other conditions. A clinical hold may require us to spend significant resources to address the underlying causes of the clinical hold and may result in a delay in the clinical program, which may be significant. In addition, if we are not able to successfully address such underlying causes or our response is not deemed adequate to lift the clinical hold, the clinical program may have to be terminated. Furthermore, changes in FDA personnel may alter the FDA's advice with respect to our development strategy and lead to delays or rejections of our clinical trial protocols or data. Any such clinical program delays or terminations may adversely affect our business.
Many of our products are used and some of our products and product candidates may be used, if approved, in combination with a drug-delivery device, including a pre-filled syringe, patch pump, auto-injector, or other delivery system. For example, in the United States and the EU, EYLEA is approved in the 2 mg pre-filled syringe; and in the EU, EYLEA HD is approved in the 8 mg pre-filled syringe. The success of our products and product candidates may depend to a significant extent on the performance of such devices, some of which may be novel or comprised of complex components. Given the increased complexity of the review process when approval of the product and device is sought under a single marketing application and the additional risks resulting from a product candidate's designation as a combination product discussed below, our product candidates used with such drug-delivery devices may be substantially delayed in receiving regulatory approval or may not be approved at all. The FDA review process and criteria for such applications are not well established, which could also lead to delays in the approval process. The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process and may either refuse to accept an application for substantive review or may form the opinion after review of an application that the application is insufficient to allow approval of a drug-delivery device. For example, in October 2025, the FDA issued a CRL for the regulatory application seeking approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe, which has delayed further anythe potential FDA approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe. There can be no assurance that FDA approval of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe will be obtained in the currently anticipated time frame or at all. See Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview - Additional Information - Clinical Development Programs - EYLEA HD" for more information.
Our business requires using sensitive and proprietary technology and other information that we protect as trade secrets. We seek to prevent improper disclosure of these trade secrets through confidentiality agreements and other means. If our trade secrets are improperly disclosed, by our current or former employees, our collaborators, or otherwise, it could help our competitors and adversely affect our business. Our ability to protect our trade secrets may be impaired by a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under "Other Regulatory and Litigation Risks - The use of social media platforms could give rise to liability, breaches of data security and privacy laws, or reputational damage," "Other Regulatory and Litigation Risks - There are inherent risks related to our increasing use of artificial intelligence-based solutions," and "Other Risks Related to Our Business - Significant disruptions of information technology systems or breaches of data security could adversely affect our business" below. We will be able to protect our proprietary rights only to the extent that our proprietary technologies and other information are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. The patent position of biotechnology companies, including our Company, involves complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, enforceability cannot be predicted with certainty. Our patents may be challenged, invalidated, held to be unenforceable, or circumvented. Certain of our U.S. patents (including those pertaining to our key products, such as EYLEA HD and EYLEA) have been and may in the future be challenged by parties who file a request for post-grant review or inter partes review under the America Invents Act of 2011 or ex parte reexamination. For example, in March 2026, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "USPTO") instituted a post-grant review of U.S. Patent No. 12,168,036 relating to EYLEA HD. Post-grant proceedings are increasingly common in the United States and are costly to defend. In addition, patent applications filed outside the United States may be challenged by other parties, for example, by filing pre-grant third-party observations that argue against patentability or a post-grant opposition. Similarly, such opposition proceedings are increasingly common in Europe and are costly to defend. For example, certain of our European patents, including those pertaining to EYLEA HD, EYLEA, and Dupixent, are subject to opposition proceedings before the European Patent Office (the "EPO") and/or patent offices of various European countries (see Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information). We have pending patent applications in the USPTO, the EPO, and the patent offices of other foreign jurisdictions, and it is likely that we will need to defend patents from challenges by others from time to time in the future. Our patent rights may not provide us with a proprietary position or competitive advantages against competitors. Furthermore, even if the outcome is favorable to us, the enforcement of our intellectual property rights can be extremely expensive and time consuming.
Furthermore, even if the outcome is favorable to us, the enforcement of our intellectual property rights can be extremely expensive and time consuming.
The increased likelihood of generic and biosimilar competition has exacerbated the risk of loss of innovators' market exclusivity. It is also not possible to predict changes in United States regulatory law that might reduce drug or biological product regulatory exclusivity.exclusivity and/or requirements to demonstrate biosimilarity. Due to this risk, and uncertainties regarding patent protection, the length of market exclusivity for any particular product we currently or may in the future commercialize is inherently uncertain. Biosimilar versions of EYLEA have been recently approved and/or launched in the United States, EU, and other jurisdictions, with additional biosimilar versions of EYLEA and/or EYLEA HD in development, as discussed further under "Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Marketed Products, Product Candidates, and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - The commercial success of our products and product candidates is subject to significant competition - Marketed Products" above. As an EYLEA biosimilar has been launched in the United States following the expiration of the U.S. regulatory exclusivity period for EYLEA (i.e., the period during which no biosimilar product could be approved by the FDA) in May 2024, EYLEA no longer has U.S. market exclusivity. Similarly, as EYLEA biosimilars have also been recently launched in certain jurisdictions outside the United States, EYLEA no longer has market exclusivity in those jurisdictions. In addition, as EYLEA HD does not benefit from regulatory exclusivity in the United States, market exclusivity for EYLEA HD in the United States is based solely on our patent rights pertaining to this product (which are subject to the risks and uncertainties discussed above under "If we cannot protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, or our patents or other means of defending our intellectual property are insufficient to protect our proprietary rights, our business and competitive position will be harmed."). Any future loss of market exclusivity for a product would likely negatively affect revenues from product sales of that product and thus our financial results and condition and could have a material negative impact on our business.
Bulk drug materials are currently manufactured at our manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York and Limerick, Ireland, as well as at our collaborators' and contract manufacturers' facilities. We and our collaborators and contract manufacturers would be unable to manufacture these materials if the relevant facility were to cease production due to regulatory requirements or actions, business interruptions, labor shortages or disputes, supply chain interruptions or constraints (including with respect to natural gas and other raw materials), contaminations, fire, climate change, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, or other problems. For example, during the first quarterand second quarters of 2026, bulk manufacturing production at our facility in Limerick, Ireland was temporarily interrupted due to unanticipated facility repairs that commenced during the quarter.first quarter of 2026. See Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations – Operating Expenses" for more information, including the interruption's impact on our reported and future financial results. To date, this issue has not adversely impacted our product supply; however, there can be no assurance that this issue will be remediated fully in the currently anticipated time frame or that it will not adversely affect the supply of our products in the future.
Many of our products and product candidates are very difficult to manufacture. As our currently marketed products and most of our product candidates are biologics, genetics medicines, peptides, or other complex therapeutics, they require processing steps that are more difficult than those required for many other chemical pharmaceuticals. Accordingly, multiple steps are needed to control the manufacturing processes. Problems with these manufacturing processes, even minor deviations from the normal process or from the materials used in the manufacturing process (which may not be detectable by us or our collaborators in a timely manner), have led in the past and could lead in the future to product defects or manufacturing failures, resulting in lot failures, product recalls, product liability claims, and/or insufficient inventory. Also, the complexity of our manufacturing process may make it difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to transfer our technology to our collaborators or contract manufacturers.
Certain raw materials or other products necessary for the manufacture and formulation of our marketed products and product candidates, some of which are difficult to source, are provided by single-source unaffiliated third-party suppliers. In addition, we rely on certain third parties or our collaborators to perform filling, finishing, distribution, laboratory testing, and other services related to the manufacture of our marketed products and product candidates, and to supply various raw materials and other products. We would be unable to obtain these raw materials, other products, or services for an indeterminate period of time if any of these third parties were to cease or interrupt production or otherwise fail to supply these materials, products, or services to us for any reason, including due to regulatory requirements or actions (including recalls), adverse financial developments at or affecting the supplier, failure by the supplier to comply with cGMPs, contaminations, business interruptions, or labor shortages or disputes (in each case, including as a result of public health outbreaks, epidemics, or pandemics or other geopolitical developments, such as the armed conflictconflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East). Regional or single-source dependencies may in some cases accentuate these risks. For example, the pharmaceutical industry generally, and in some instances our Company or our collaborators or other third parties on which we rely, depend on China-based suppliers or service providers for certain raw materials, products and services, or other activities. Our ability or the ability of our collaborators or such other third parties to continue to engage these China-based suppliers or service providers for certain preclinical research programs and clinical development programs could be restricted due to geopolitical developments between the United States and China, including as a result of the escalation of tariffs or other trade restrictions or the recentlyBIOSECURE Act that was enacted BIOSECUREinto Act.law in late 2025. See also "Other Regulatory and Litigation Risks - We face risks associated with tariffs and other trade restrictions, which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition" below. In any such circumstances, we may not be able to engage a backup or alternative supplier or service provider in a timely manner or at all. This, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our or our collaborators' ability to manufacture or supply marketed products and product candidates or advance our or our collaborators' preclinical research or clinical development programs, which could materially and adversely affect our business and future prospects.
The FDA regulates the marketing and promotion of our products, which must comply with the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and applicable FDA implementing standards. The FDA's review of promotional activities includes healthcare provider-directed and direct-to-consumer ("DTC") advertising, certain communications regarding unapproved uses, industry-sponsored scientific and educational activities, and sales representatives' communications. TheIn 2025, the current U.S. administration, HHS, and FDA have recently announced an initiative intended to ensure transparency and accuracy in DTC prescription drug advertisements through a series of reforms that have included and are expected to continue to include FDA rulemaking, additional enforcement action, and expanded regulatory oversight of social media promotional activities. Failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements for advertising and promotional activities (including those that currently apply or may apply in the future to DTC advertising) may subject a company to adverse enforcement action by the FDA, the Department of Justice, or the Office of the Inspector General of HHS, as well as state authorities. This could subject a company to a range of penalties or other consequences that could have a significant commercial impact, including warning letters, civil and criminal fines, and agreements that materially restrict the manner in which a company promotes or distributes a drug. Any such failures could also cause significant reputational harm. The applicable regulations in countries outside the U.S. grant similar powers to the competent authorities and impose similar obligations on companies.
Our failure to comply with our reporting and payment obligations under the Medicaid Drug Rebate program and other governmental programs could negatively impact our operating results. In September 2024, CMS modified the regulations governing the Medicaid Drug Rebate program, which could further increase our costs and the complexity of compliance, impact rebate liabilities, and be time-consuming to implement. Other regulations and coverage expansion by various governmental agencies relating to the Medicaid Drug Rebate program may have a similar impact.
As described above, the PPACA and potential regulations thereunder easing the entry of competing follow-on biologics into the marketplace, other new legislation or implementation of existing statutory provisions on importation of lower-cost competing drugs from other jurisdictions, and legislation on comparative effectiveness research are examples of previously enacted and possible future changes in laws that could adversely affect our business. In addition, it is expected that in 2023,2026 the Europeanrevised Commission published a proposal to replace the currentEU pharmaceutical legislative framework in the EU. While it is uncertain whether such proposal will be adopted inand itsenter currentinto form,force, there may ultimately bewith a numbertransition ofregime changesuntil 2028.

We have operations and conduct business in many countries outside the United States and have been significantly expanding the scope of these activities in existing and/or additional countries, including EU countries and Japan. For example, as discussed above, we now have commercial presence in many jurisdictions outside the United States in connection with our commercialization of Libtayo and co-commercialization of Dupixent,States, and we expect this commercial presence to continue to increase as we expand our commercialization activities for other products outside the United States (including Lynozyfic and Ordspono, which recently launched in the EU).States. Consequently, we are, and will continue to be, subject to risks related to operating in countries outside the United States, particularly those in which we have not previously established operations, and many of these risks will increase as we expand our activities in such jurisdictions. These risks include:
•changes in the political or economic condition of a specific country or region, including as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war, or Israel's armed conflicts within Iran,the Lebanon,Middle or HamasEast;
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that IEEPA does not confer the authority to impose tariffs. In response, the U.S. administration ceased collecting these duties and, on February 24, 2026, imposed a temporary 10% tariffsurcharge on imports from all trading partners under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 ("Section 122"). TheThis Unitedsurcharge Statesexpired hason signaledJuly an24, intention to raise the Section 122 tariff rate to the statutory maximum of 15%, but this has not materialized as of the date of this report. Additionally, pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients have thus far been exempted from these tariffs.2026.
In addition, onin April 2, 2026, the United States imposed new tariffs on imports of patented pharmaceuticals and associated pharmaceutical ingredients under Section 232, which are set to become effective for certain companies on July 31, 2026, and for others on September 29, 2026. The Section 232 tariffs create a tiered structure with multiple rates depending on the country of origin, the importing company's status concerning onshoring and pricing agreements, and the nature of the product. The Section 232 tariffs implement all pharmaceutical-related commitments in existing U.S. trade deals. As discussed under Part I, Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Recent Developments – U.S. Government Agreements," we have entered into the U.S. Government Agreements and thus have exemptions from the Section 232 tariffs through January 2029, subject to certain conditions.
TheSince March 11, 2026, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative ("USTR") has initiated twofour new investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 ("Section 301"), one focused on industrial overcapacity and another oncovering forced labor in supply chains.chains; industrial overcapacity; intellectual property protection and enforcement concerns; and underpayment for certain pharmaceutical products. These investigations collectively target nearly eighty80 countries. TheAs U.S.described administrationbelow, the forced labor investigation has signaledalready thatresulted dutiesin imposednew astariffs, aeffective July 24, 2026, and the remaining investigations could result ofin theseadditional investigations would replace the Section 122new tariffs whenimpacting theyour expire in July 2026. It remains unclear if exemptions and carve-outs from Section 122 duties that currently exist for products, including pharmaceutical products, will be replicated in their entirety with respect to any future set of Section 301 tariffs.business.
On July 23, 2026, USTR issued a notice of action in the Section 301 investigation into forced labor. As a result of this notice, tariffs of either 10% or 12.5%, effective July 24, 2026, apply to imports from 60 countries, including locations where we have operations, such as Canada, the European Union, India, Japan, and the United Kingdom. These tariffs essentially replace the 10% Section 122 surcharge that expired on July 24, 2026. USTR has provided a number of exemptions to the new tariffs, including exemptions for 700 specific articles used in pharmaceutical applications. While these exemptions limit the direct impact of the forced labor Section 301 tariffs on our import activities, some of our imports may not qualify for the exemptions and may be subject to the new tariffs. Additionally, because the scope, timing, and applicability of any tariffs resulting from the other ongoing Section 301 investigations remain uncertain, it is unclear what impact they may have on our supply chain and operations.
We are subject to income tax in the United States and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide tax liabilities, and our effective tax rate is derived from the applicable statutory tax rates and relative earnings in each taxing jurisdiction. We record liabilities for uncertain tax positions that involve significant management judgment as to the application of law. Domestic or foreign taxing authorities have previously disagreed, and may in the future disagree, with our interpretation of tax law as applied to the operations of Regeneron and its subsidiaries or with the positions we may take with respect to particular tax issues on our tax returns. Consequently, tax assessments or judgments in excess of accrued amounts that we have estimated in preparing our financial statements may materially and adversely affect our reported effective tax rate or our cash flows. Further, other factors may adversely affect our effective tax rate, including changes in the mix of our profitability from country to country, tax effects of stock-based compensation (which depend in part on the price of our stock and, therefore, are beyond our control), and changes in tax laws or regulations. For example, the OECD Pillar Two framework has influenced tax laws in countries in which we operate, including the implementation of minimum taxes. Changes to these or other laws and regulations or their interpretations, including those resulting from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" signed into law in July 2025 (as discussed further in Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report),2025, could materially adversely impact our effective tax rate or cash flows.
We use social media to communicate about our products and our business. The misuse of social media platforms by our employees or third parties on which we rely in contravention of our social media policy or other legal or contractual requirements may give rise to liability, lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, or result in public exposure of sensitive data. Social media posts may also include statements about efficacy or adverse events related to our products or product candidates that could create reporting obligations or lead to regulatory scrutiny. Furthermore, negativenegative, inaccurate, or misleading posts or comments about us or our products inon social media or any online platform, including posts or comments generated using artificial intelligence ("AI"), could seriously damage our reputation, brand image, and goodwill.
We are increasingly utilizing AI-based solutions in various facets of our research, development, and other operations and continue to explore further use cases for AI. The use of AI solutions by our employees or third parties on which we rely may lead to the impermissible use or public disclosure of sensitive data. AI systems may generate inaccurate, incomplete, misleading, or biased outputs that may not be readily detectable by users, or may produce unreliable outputs over time. Reliance on such outputs could result in errors, inefficiencies, compliance issues, or other adverse consequences. Employee use of unapproved AI tools could create ungoverned data flows, unmonitored compliance gaps, and data protection risks that are not visible until an adverse event occurs. In addition, the increasing use of agentic and autonomous AI systems may create additional operational, cybersecurity, compliance, and data protection risks. Failures in the design, governance, or monitoring of such systems could result in unauthorized actions, inaccurate and/or biased outputs, disruption of business processes, or unauthorized access to sensitive information.
We are increasingly utilizing artificial intelligence ("AI")-based solutions in various facets of our operations and continue to explore further use cases for AI. The use of AI solutions by our employees or third parties on which we rely may lead to the impermissible use or public disclosure of sensitive data. In the United States and in many jurisdictions outside the United States, new regulations have recently passed or have been proposed to ensure the ethical use, privacy, and security of AI solutions and the data processed thereby. The misuse of AI solutions in contravention of our internal policies, data protection laws, other applicable laws, or contractual requirements may give rise to liability, lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, result in reputational harm, or lead to outcomes with unintended biases or other consequences. The misuse of AI solutions could also result in unauthorized access and use of personal data of our employees, clinical trial participants, collaborators, or other third parties. Additionally, AI-assisted analysis or AI-generated content embedded in regulatory submissions may be challenged or require additional justification if the underlying methodology cannot be fully defended or if applicable regulatory guidance evolves. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition and could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.
We rely on support from Sanofi to develop, manufacture, and commercialize certain of our products and product candidates. With respect to the products and product candidates that we are co-developing with Sanofi under our Antibody Collaboration (currently consisting of Dupixent, Kevzara, and itepekimab),Collaboration, Sanofi initially funds a significant portion of development expenses incurred in connection with the development of these products and product candidates. In addition, we rely on Sanofi to lead much of the clinical development efforts, assist with or lead efforts to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, and lead the commercialization efforts for these products and product candidates.
If Sanofi terminates the Antibody Collaboration or fails to comply with its obligations thereunder, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed. We would be required to either expend substantially more resources than we have anticipated to support our development efforts or cut back on such activities. If Sanofi does not perform its obligations with respect to the products and product candidates it is co-developing and/or co-commercializing with us, our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize these products and product candidates may be adversely affected. As described in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report, we have commenced the Antibody Collaboration Litigation against Sanofi and certain of its affiliated entities. It is not possible to determine what impact (if any) the Antibody Collaboration Litigation may have on the Antibody Collaboration and our business relationship with Sanofi, or whether we will be successful in the Antibody Collaboration Litigation. While we have some commercial presence outside the United States, our commercial capabilities outside the United States are still limited and would need to be further developed or outsourced for products commercialized under our Antibody Collaboration (see also "Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Marketed Products, Product Candidates, and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - If we are unable to maintain or establish sufficient commercial capabilities outside the United States for products we currently commercialize or co-commercialize, or intend to commercialize or co-commercialize in the future, outside the United States, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected" above). Termination of the Antibody Collaboration may create substantial new and additional risks to the successful development and commercialization of the products and product candidates subject to such collaborations, particularly outside the United States.
We rely on Bayer with respect to the commercialization of EYLEA HD and EYLEA outside the United States. Bayer is responsible for obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval outside the United States, as well as providing all sales, marketing, and commercial support for the product outside the United States. In particular, Bayer has responsibility for selling EYLEA HD and EYLEA outside the United States using its sales force and, in Japan, in cooperation with Santen pursuant to a Co-Promotion and Distribution Agreement with Bayer's Japanese affiliate. If Bayer and, in Japan, Santen do not perform their obligations in a timely manner, or at all, our ability to commercialize EYLEA HD and EYLEA outside the United States will be significantly adversely affected. Bayer has the right to terminate its collaboration agreement with us at any time upon six or twelve months' advance notice, depending on the circumstances giving rise to termination. If Bayer were to terminate its collaboration agreement with us, we may not have the resources or skills to replace those of our collaborator, which could require us to seek another collaboration that might not be available on favorable terms or at all, and could cause significant issues for the commercialization of EYLEA HD and EYLEA outside the United States and result in substantial additional costs and/or lower revenues to us. We have limited commercial capabilities outside the United States and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities (see also "Risks Related to Commercialization of Our Marketed Products, Product Candidates, and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - If we are unable to maintain or establish sufficient commercial capabilities outside the United States for products we currently commercialize or co-commercialize, or intend to commercialize or co-commercialize in the future, outside the United States, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected" above). Termination of the Bayer collaboration agreement would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful commercialization of EYLEA HD and EYLEA.
If we or our suppliers and/or service providers fail to maintain or protect our information technology systems and data security effectively and in compliance with U.S. and foreign laws, or fail to anticipate, detect, plan for, or manage disruptions to these systems, we or our suppliers and/or service providers could have difficulty preventing, detecting, or mitigating the impact of such disruptions or security breaches, which could result in disruptions to our operations, legal proceedings, liability under U.S. and foreign laws (including those that protect the privacy of personal information), government investigations, breach of contract claims, and damage to our reputation (in each case in the U.S. or globally), which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
and foreign laws (including those that protect the privacy of personal information), government investigations, breach of contract claims, and damage to our reputation (in each case in the U.S. or globally), which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
The foregoing risks may be exacerbated as we periodically upgrade or enhance our information technology systems.systems, including as part of our broader digital transformation efforts. For example, we are in the early stages of a multi-year project to implement a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. Upgrading or implementing new business processes and information technology systems, including our new ERP system, requires the commitment of significant personnel, training, and financial resources, and includes risks to our business operations. If we do not successfully implement our new ERP systemsystems or other information technology systems improvements, or if there are delays or difficulties in implementing these systems, we may not realize anticipated productivity improvements or cost efficiencies, and we may experience operational difficulties and challenges in effectively managing our business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
We have certain indebtedness and contingent liabilities, including milestone and royalty payment obligations. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had an aggregate of $2.706$2.707 billion of outstanding indebtedness under our senior unsecured notes and the lease financing facility. We may also incur additional debt in the future. Any such indebtedness could:
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had $2.963$2.456 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $16.319$16.168 billion in marketable and other securitiessecurities, (includingas $790.2further milliondescribed in equityNote securities).5 and Note 6 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. Our investments consist primarily of debt securities, including investment-grade corporate bonds. These fixed-income investments are subject to external factors that may adversely affect their market value or liquidity, such as interest rate, liquidity, market, and issuer credit risks, including actual or anticipated changes in credit ratings. The equity securities we hold may experience significant volatility and may decline in value or become worthless if the issuer experiences an adverse development. Furthermore, our equity investments could be subject to dilution (and decline in value) as a result of the issuance of additional equity interests by the applicable issuer. If any of our investments suffer market price declines, such declines may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
The trading price of our Common Stock has been, and could continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations in response to these and other factors, including the sale or attempted sale of a large amount of our Common Stock in the market. As discussed in greater detail under "Future sales of our Common Stock by our significant shareholders or us may depress our stock price and impair our ability to raise funds in new share offerings" below, a large percentage of our Common Stock is owned by a small number of our principal shareholders. As a result, the public float of our Common Stock (i.e., the portion of our Common Stock held by public investors, as opposed to the Common Stock held by our directors, officers, and principal shareholders) may be lower than the public float of other large public companies with broader public ownership. Therefore, the trading price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. These factors may exacerbate the volatility in the trading price of our Common Stock and may negatively impact your ability to liquidate your investment in Regeneron at the time you wish at a price you consider satisfactory. Broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Securities class action litigation is often initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. For example, in JanuaryJuly 2025,2026, a putative class action civil complaint was filed against the Company and certain current and former executive officersemployees of the Company asserting violations of federal securities laws, as further described in Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources, and could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation, which may harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
A small number of our shareholders beneficially own a substantial amount of our Common Stock. As of AprilJune 14,30, 2026, our five largest shareholders plus Dr. Schleifer, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned approximately 32.0%31.3% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming, in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, the conversion of his Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by him which are exercisable within 60 days of AprilJune 14,30, 2026. If our significant shareholders or we sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or there is a perception that such sales may occur, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of Common Stock by our significant shareholders also might make it more difficult for us to raise funds by selling equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
In FebruaryApril 2025,2026, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $3.0 billion of our Common Stock (of which $688.2$2.534 millionbillion remained available as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026); and, in April 2026, the board authorized an additional $3.0 billion for share repurchases.. In 2025, our board of directors also initiated a quarterly cash dividend program. Any future share repurchases, share repurchase program authorizations, or dividend declarations will depend upon, among other factors, our cash balances and potential future capital requirements, our results of operations and financial condition, the price of our Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and other factors that we may deem relevant. Our share repurchases and dividend payments may change from time to time, and we can provide no assurance that we will repurchase shares of our Common Stock at favorable prices, in particular amounts, or at all, or that we will maintain or increase our quarterly cash dividend payments or declare future cash dividends. A reduction in our share repurchases or reduction in, or elimination of, our quarterly cash dividend payments could have an adverse effect on our stock price.
Holders of Class A Stock, who are generally the shareholders who purchased their stock from us before our initial public offering, are entitled to ten votes per share, while holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. As of AprilJune 14,30, 2026, holders of Class A Stock held 15.0%15.2% of the combined voting power of all shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock then outstanding. These shareholders, if acting together, would be in a position to substantially influence the election of our directors and the vote on certain corporate transactions that require majority or supermajority approval of the combined classes, including mergers and other business combinations. This may result in our taking corporate actions that other shareholders may not consider to be in their best interest and may affect the price of our Common Stock. As of AprilJune 14,30, 2026:
•our current executive officers and directors beneficially owned 5.2%5.3% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming conversion of their Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options and release of all restricted stock units held by such persons which are exercisable or releasable within 60 days of AprilJune 14,30, 2026, and 17.5%17.7% of the combined voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock, assuming the exercise of all options and release of all restricted stock units held by such persons which are exercisable or releasable within 60 days of AprilJune 14,30, 2026; and

The Company is working with the FDA and multiple third-party filling manufacturers to potentially achieve regulatory approval for the pre-filled syringe by the end of 2026.
Select Early-Stage Clinical Development Updates
In 2026, a Phase 1 study for REGN20423, a long-acting IL-13 antibody, in healthy volunteers and patients with atopic dermatitis was initiated.
The Company resubmitted its application seeking FDA approval for filling of the EYLEA HD pre-filled syringe ("PFS") at Catalent Indiana, where the FDA has recently conducted a site re-inspection. In addition, the FDA did not act by the April 2026 PDUFA date on the Company's regulatory application for a second contract manufacturer for the PFS; therefore, this application remains pending. The Company and both third-party filling manufacturers are working closely with the FDA to resolve all outstanding issues, and the Company anticipates a regulatory decision on one or both applications during the second quarter of 2026.
In April 2026, we announced agreements with the U.S. government (the "U.S. Government Agreements") pursuant to which we have agreed, among other matters, to provide certain of our products that we wholly own in the United States to the Medicaid program at orprices belowno greater than prices benchmarkeddetermined based on benchmarking against a defined group of other developed countries ("Most-Favored-Nation Pricing"). We have also agreed to price certain future medicines in the United States at orprices belowno greater than Most-Favored-Nation Pricing; to participate in a direct purchasing platform, TrumpRx.gov, that will allow eligible patients to purchase Praluent directly; and to provide our recently FDA-approved gene therapy Otarmeni™ for free in the United States. The U.S. Government Agreements further provide that Regeneron's products will not face tariffs as a result of the U.S. Department of Commerce's recent investigation under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, through January 2029 so long as the Company continues its commitments to invest in manufacturing and research and development infrastructure in the United States.
We are party to a global collaboration with Sanofi to research, develop, and commercialize fully human monoclonal antibodies, which currently consists of Dupixent, Kevzara, and itepekimab. As described above, during 2026 we and Sanofi discontinued further clinical development of itepekimab.
We are collaborating with Sanofi on the global development and commercialization of Dupixent, Kevzara, and itepekimab. Under the terms of the collaboration, Sanofi is generally responsible for funding 80% to 100% of agreed-upon development expenses as incurred. We are obligated to reimburse Sanofi for 30% to 50% of development expenses that were funded by Sanofi (i.e., "development balance") 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 March 31, 2026, the total amount of our contingent reimbursement obligation to Sanofi in connection with such development expenses was approximately $278 million.
Agreed-upon development expenses incurred by the parties are generally shared equally. Under our collaboration agreement, Sanofi records product sales for commercialized products, and we have the right to co-commercialize such products on a country-by-country basis.

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 our products, including EYLEA HD and Dupixent.

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. There is uncertainty surrounding 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.
