Business Highlights

Key Pipeline Progress
Regeneron has over 30 product candidates in clinical development, including six marketed products for which it is investigating additional indications. Updates from the clinical pipeline include:

EYLEA^® (aflibercept) Injection

• In August 2021, the Company announced that an ongoing Phase 2 trial evaluating an 8 mg dose of aflibercept in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) met its primary safety and efficacy endpoints. The high-dose aflibercept formulation is currently also being evaluated in two large Phase 3 trials in wet AMD and diabetic macular edema (DME), which are expected to report results in the second half of 2022.

Dupixent^® (dupilumab)

• In October 2021, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Dupixent for children aged 6 to 11 years with moderate-to-severe asthma.
• In July 2021, the Company and Sanofi announced that a Phase 3 trial in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) met its primary and all key secondary endpoints at 24 weeks.
• In October 2021, the Company and Sanofi announced that a second Phase 3 trial in adults and adolescents with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) met its co-primary endpoints in patients taking Dupixent 300 mg weekly, showing significant improvements in clinical (Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire) and histologic disease measures compared to placebo. A rolling supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) has been initiated for adults and adolescents with EoE.
• In October 2021, the Company and Sanofi announced that a Phase 3 trial in adults with uncontrolled prurigo nodularis met its primary and all key secondary endpoints, showing that Dupixent significantly reduced itch and skin lesions compared to placebo in this investigational setting. Results from an additional Phase 3 trial in prurigo nodularis are expected to be reported in the first half of 2022.
• In August 2021, the Company and Sanofi announced that a Phase 3 trial in children aged 6 months to 5 years with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis met its primary and all secondary endpoints, and the companies expect to complete regulatory submissions in the United States and European Union (EU) in the coming months.

REGEN-COV^® (casirivimab and imdevimab)⁽²⁾, a dual antibody cocktail to SARS-CoV-2 virus

• In September 2021, the Company announced an agreement to supply the U.S. government with an additional 1.4 million doses of REGEN-COV (of which over 300,000 doses were delivered during the third quarter of 2021). Pursuant to the agreement, the U.S. government is obligated to purchase REGEN-COV doses delivered by January 31, 2022, resulting in aggregate payments to the Company of up to $2.940 billion. Roche will supply a portion of the doses to Regeneron to fulfill Regeneron's agreement with the U.S. government.
• The FDA accepted for priority review the BLA for COVID-19 treatment in non-hospitalized patients and as prophylaxis in certain individuals, with a target action date of April 13, 2022. A Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for COVID-19 treatment in infected non-hospitalized patients or as prophylaxis was also submitted in the EU.
• In September 2021, the Company announced that a Phase 3 trial in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 met its primary endpoint, showing REGEN-COV significantly reduced viral load. The FDA is currently reviewing the Company's request to expand the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to include treatment in hospital settings, and the Company plans to submit a BLA and MAA for this patient population in the coming months.
• The New England Journal of Medicine published positive detailed results from the Phase 3 trial that assessed the ability of REGEN-COV to treat COVID-19 in infected high-risk non-hospitalized patients.

Oncology Programs

• The FDA accepted for priority review, with a target action date of January 30, 2022, the sBLA for Libtayo^® (cemiplimab) to treat patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer whose disease progressed on or after chemotherapy. The MAA in the EU is expected to be submitted by the end of the year.
• Positive data from the Phase 3 trial of Libtayo, in combination with chemotherapy, in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, were presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology Virtual Congress 2021. These results will form the basis of regulatory submissions, which are planned in the United States and EU in the coming months.

The Company is currently evaluating further development plans, including an additional Phase 3 study during an upcoming birch pollen season.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Revenues

Total revenues increased by 51% to $3.453 billion in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $2.294 billion in the third quarter of 2020. Total revenues excluding (i) REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imdevimab) net product sales in the United States and (ii) the Company's share of gross profits in connection with sales of casirivimab and imdevimab pursuant to the Roche collaboration agreement, increased by 18% to $2.649 billion in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020⁽¹⁾.

Net product sales recorded by the Company consist of the following:

($ in millions)		Q3 2021				Q3 2020				% Change
EYLEA		$	1,473			$	1,318			12	%
Libtayo		78				72				8	%
Praluent®		45				49				(8)	%
REGEN-COV		677				40				**
Evkeeza®		7				—				**
ARCALYST®		—		*		3				**
Total net product sales in the U.S.		$	2,280			$	1,482			54	%
* Effective April 1, 2021, Kiniksa records net product sales of ARCALYST in the United States. Previously, the Company recorded net product sales of ARCALYST in the United States.
** Percentage not meaningful

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company commenced deliveries of REGEN-COV under its September 2021 supply agreement with the U.S. government (as described above).

Total revenues also include collaboration revenues⁽³⁾ of $1.074 billion in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $653 million in the third quarter of 2020. Sanofi collaboration revenue increased primarily due to the Company's share of profits from commercialization of antibodies, which were $387 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $213 million in the third quarter of 2020. The change in the Company's share of profits from commercialization of antibodies was driven by higher Dupixent profits. In addition, in both the third quarter of 2021 and 2020, the Company earned $50 million sales-based milestones from Sanofi based upon sales of antibodies outside the United States on a rolling twelve-month basis. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company also recorded Roche collaboration revenue of $127 million in connection with the true-up payment owed from Roche in connection with global gross profits from sales of the casirivimab and imdevimab antibody cocktail.

Refer to Table 4 for a summary of collaboration revenue.

Other revenue decreased in the third quarter of 2021, compared to the third quarter of 2020, primarily due to lower amounts recognized in connection with the Company's agreements with the Biomedical Advanced Research Development Authority (BARDA) related to funding of certain development activities for COVID-19 antibodies, and, to a lesser extent, Inmazeb^®.

Operating Expenses

		GAAP								% Change		Non-GAAP(1)								% Change
($ in millions)		Q3 2021				Q3 2020						Q3 2021				Q3 2020
Research and development (R&D)		$	665			$	685			(3%)		$	592			$	629			(6%)
Selling, general, and administrative   (SG&A)		$	445			$	327			36%		$	391			$	291			34%
Cost of goods sold (COGS)		$	239			$	131			82%		$	224			$	122			84%
Cost of collaboration and contract   manufacturing (COCM)		$	214			$	143			50%		*				*				n/a
Other operating expense (income), net		$	42			$	(45)			(193%)		*				*				n/a
* GAAP and non-GAAP amounts are equivalent as no non-GAAP adjustments have been recorded

• The increase in SG&A expenses in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to higher headcount-related costs and an increase in commercialization-related expenses for EYLEA, including direct-to-consumer advertising.
• The increase in COGS in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the recognition of manufacturing costs in connection with product sales of REGEN-COV in the United States.
• The increase in COCM in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the recognition of manufacturing costs associated with higher sales of Dupixent.
• Other operating expense (income), net, includes recognition of a portion of amounts previously deferred in connection with up-front and development milestone payments, as applicable, received in connection with the Company's collaborative arrangements. The decrease in other operating income in the third quarter of 2021 was primarily due to the recognition of a cumulative catch-up adjustment of $67 million arising from an update to the estimate of the total R&D costs expected to be incurred under the Sanofi Immuno-oncology collaboration agreement.

Other Financial Information

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company's GAAP effective tax rate was 10.2%, compared to 15.6% in the third quarter of 2020. The decrease in the third quarter 2021 GAAP effective tax rate, compared to the third quarter of 2020, was due in part to the positive impact of stock-based compensation in the third quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2021, the non-GAAP effective tax rate was 10.8%, compared to 16.3% in the third quarter of 2020.

GAAP net income per diluted share was $14.33 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to GAAP net income per diluted share of $7.39 in the third quarter of 2020. Non-GAAP net income per diluted share was $15.37 in the third quarter of 2021, compared to non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $8.36 in the third quarter of 2020. A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in Table 3 of this press release.

Net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2021 was $4.709 billion, compared to $1.387 billion in the first nine months of 2020, resulting in $4.312 billion in free cash flow⁽¹⁾ for the first nine months of 2021, compared to $934 million for the first nine months of 2020. The increase in free cash flow was primarily due to the Company's collection of amounts due from the U.S. government in connection with REGEN-COV sales in 2021.

(1)	This press release uses non-GAAP R&D, non-GAAP SG&A, non-GAAP gross margin on net product sales, non-GAAP other income (expense) net, non-GAAP effective tax rate, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income per share, total revenues excluding REGEN-COV, and free cash flow, which are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures are computed by excluding certain non-cash and/or other items from the related GAAP financial measure. The Company also includes a non-GAAP adjustment for the estimated income tax effect of reconciling items.   The Company makes such adjustments for items the Company does not view as useful in evaluating its operating performance. For example, adjustments may be made for items that fluctuate from period to period based on factors that are not within the Company's control (such as the Company's stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued or changes in the fair value of the Company's investments in equity securities) or items that are not associated with normal, recurring operations (such as restructuring-related expenses). Management uses these non-GAAP measures for planning, budgeting, forecasting, assessing historical performance, and making financial and operational decisions, and also provides forecasts to investors on this basis. With respect to free cash flows, the Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides a further measure of the Company's operations' ability to generate cash flows. Additionally, such non-GAAP measures provide investors with an enhanced understanding of the financial performance of the Company's core business operations. However, there are limitations in the use of these and other non-GAAP financial measures as they exclude certain expenses that are recurring in nature. Furthermore, the Company's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. Any non-GAAP financial measure presented by Regeneron should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the Company's historical GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in Table 3 of this press release.
(2)	The casirivimab and imdevimab antibody cocktail is known as REGEN-COV in the United States and RonapreveTM in other countries. The Company records net product sales of REGEN-COV in the United States and Roche records net product sales of Ronapreve outside the United States.
(3)	The Company's collaborators provide it with estimates of the collaborators' respective sales and the Company's share of the profits or losses (if applicable) from commercialization of products for the most recent fiscal quarter. The Company's estimates for such quarter are reconciled to actual results in the subsequent fiscal quarter, and the Company's share of the profit or loss (if applicable) is adjusted on a prospective basis accordingly, if necessary.
(4)	The Company's 2021 financial guidance does not assume the completion of any significant business development transactions not completed as of the date of this press release.
(5)	Gross margin on net product sales represents gross profit expressed as a percentage of total net product sales recorded by the Company. Gross profit is calculated as net product sales less cost of goods sold.
(6)	Corresponding reimbursements from collaborators and others for manufacturing of commercial supplies is recorded within revenues.
