Exhibit 99.1
Genmab Announces Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2022
May 11, 2022 Copenhagen, Denmark;
Interim Report for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2022
Highlights
● | DARZALEX® net sales as reported by Johnson & Johnson increased 36% compared to the first three months of 2021 to USD 1,856 million, resulting in royalty revenue of DKK 1,501 million |
● | Genmab updates its 2022 financial guidance |
“During the first quarter of 2022, there were continued advancements in our pipeline, including the first patient dosed with DuoBody®-CD3xB7H4 (GEN1047), the presentation of data from the tisotumab vedotin innovaTV 207 study, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) granting orphan-drug designation to epcoritamab for the treatment of follicular lymphoma (FL). Together these events help to progress us further in our evolution into a fully integrated biotech innovation powerhouse,” said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.
Financial Performance First Quarter of 2022
● | Net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 1,856 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to USD 1,365 million in the first three months of 2021, an increase of USD 491 million, or 36%. |
● | Royalty revenue was DKK 1,836 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 1,017 million in the first three months of 2021, an increase of DKK 819 million, or 81%. The increase was driven by higher net sales of DARZALEX, TEPEZZA® and Kesimpta® resulting in higher royalties. |
● | Operating profit was DKK 514 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 532 million in the first three months of 2021. |
Subsequent Events
● | April: Genmab and AbbVie Inc. (AbbVie) announced topline results for epcoritamab from the first cohort of the EPCORE™ NHL-1 phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating epcoritamab. The study cohort includes 157 patients with relapsed / refractory large B-cell lymphoma who received at least two prior lines of systemic therapy, including 38.9% who received prior treatment with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. The topline results from this cohort demonstrated an overall response rate of 63.1% as confirmed by an independent review committee, which exceeded the protocol prespecified threshold for efficacy. The observed median duration of response was 12 months. The most common treatment-emergent adverse event was cytokine release syndrome |

with 49.7%, including 2.5% grade 3. Based on the topline results, the companies will engage global regulatory authorities to determine next steps. |
● | April: The arbitral tribunal issued an award in the binding arbitration of two matters arising under Genmab’s license agreement with Janssen relating to daratumumab. Genmab did not seek a review of the award, and the award is now final. The arbitral tribunal decided both issues in favor of Janssen. The first issue concerned the question as to whether Janssen’s obligation to pay royalties on sales of licensed product extends, in each applicable country, until the expiration or invalidation of the last-to-expire relevant Genmab-owned patent or the last-to-expire relevant Janssen-owned patent covering the product, as further defined and described in the license agreement. As to that issue, the tribunal determined by majority opinion that Janssen’s obligation to pay royalties to Genmab on sales of licensed product, in each applicable country, extends through the expiration or invalidation of the last-to-expire relevant Genmab-owned patent covering the product or use thereof, but not the relevant Janssen-owned patent. The relevant Genmab-owned issued U.S., European and Japanese patents will expire in the late 2020s and early 2030s. The second issue concerned the question as to whether Genmab is required to share in Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Halozyme) for the Halozyme enzyme technology used in the subcutaneous (SC) formulation of daratumumab (marketed as DARZALEX FASPRO® in the U.S.). The royalties Janssen pays to Halozyme represent a mid-single digit percentage rate of SC daratumumab sales. As to that issue, the tribunal ruled by majority opinion that Janssen is permitted to continue reducing its royalty payments to Genmab as an offset against a share of Janssen’s royalty payments made to Halozyme. |
Outlook
Genmab is updating the lower end of its 2022 financial guidance published on February 16, 2022, driven by increased royalty revenue related to net sales of DARZALEX.

Genmab is updating the lower end of its 2022 financial guidance published on February 16, 2022, driven by increased royalty revenue related to net sales of DARZALEX.
Revenue
Genmab expects its 2022 revenue to be in the range of DKK 11,000 – 12,000 million, an increase to the lower end of the previous guidance of DKK 10,800 – 12,000 million, driven primarily by the continued strong growth of DARZALEX net sales. Genmab’s projected revenue for 2022 primarily consists of DARZALEX royalties of DKK 8,000 – 8,500 million compared to previous guidance of DKK 7,700 – 8,500. Such royalties are based on Genmab’s revised estimate of DARZALEX 2022 net sales of USD 7.5 – 8.0 billion compared to previous guidance of USD 7.3 – 8.0 billion. DARZALEX royalties are partly offset by the impact of Janssen’s withholding of a portion of royalty payments related to Genmab’s share of Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme in connection with SC sales. The remainder of Genmab’s revenue consists of royalties from TEPEZZA, Kesimpta and RYBREVANT®, reimbursement revenue, milestones for epcoritamab, teclistamab and other milestones as well as collaboration revenue with Seagen for Tivdak.
Operating Expenses
Genmab anticipates its 2022 operating expenses to continue to be in the range of DKK 7,200 – 7,800 million. Operating expenses continue to be driven by the advancement of Genmab’s clinical programs, continued investment in research and development, as well as building Genmab’s commercial organization and broader organizational infrastructure.
Operating Profit
Genmab now expects its 2022 operating result to be in the range of DKK 3,200 – 4,800 million, an increase to the lower end of the previous guidance of DKK 3,000 – 4,800 million, driven primarily by the increase in royalty revenue related to the net sales of DARZALEX.
Outlook: Risks and Assumptions
In addition to factors already mentioned, the estimates above are subject to change due to numerous reasons, including but not limited to, the achievement of certain milestones associated with Genmab’s collaboration agreements; the timing and variation of development activities (including activities carried out by Genmab’s collaboration partners) and related income and costs; DARZALEX, Kesimpta, TEPEZZA and RYBREVANT net sales and royalties paid to Genmab; and currency exchange rates (the 2022 guidance assumes a USD / DKK exchange rate of 6.4). The financial guidance assumes that no significant new agreements are entered into during the remainder of 2022 that could materially affect the results. Refer to the section “Significant Risks and Uncertainties” in this interim report. Additionally, depending on trends related to the coronavirus and future variants, the COVID-19 pandemic could potentially have a material adverse impact on Genmab’s business and financial performance, including clinical trials, projected regulatory approval timelines, supply chain and revenues, and cause Genmab’s actual results to differ materially from 2022 Guidance and Key 2022 Priorities in this interim report.

Interim Report for the First Quarter of 2022
Should the global outbreak of COVID-19 persist, it may have long-term impacts on the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of Genmab’s investigational medicines and on net sales of approved medicines created by Genmab and developed and marketed by Genmab or Genmab’s collaboration partners. As the pandemic continues, there may be an impact on Genmab’s business. Genmab has an established COVID-19 response team, led by the CEO, that closely monitors the evolving situation, maintains precautionary measures to help limit the impact of COVID-19 at the workplace and on our communities, and ensures business continuity. The full extent and nature of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures on Genmab’s business and financial performance is uncertain as the situation continues. The factors discussed above, as well as other factors that are currently unforeseeable, may result in further and other unforeseen material adverse impacts on Genmab’s business and financial performance, including on the sales of Tivdak and on net sales of DARZALEX, Kesimpta, TEPEZZA and RYBREVANT by Genmab’s partners and on Genmab’s royalty and milestone revenue therefrom.

Interim Report for the First Quarter of 2022
The interim report is prepared on a consolidated basis for the Genmab group. The financial statements are published in Danish Kroner (DKK).
Revenue
Genmab’s revenue was DKK 2,119 million for the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 1,581 million for the first three months of 2021. The increase of DKK 538 million, or 34%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX, TEPEZZA and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our collaborations with Janssen, Roche and Novartis, respectively, partly offset by milestones achieved under our collaborations with AbbVie and Janssen in the first three months of 2021.

Royalties
Royalty revenue amounted to DKK 1,836 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 1,017 million in the first three months of 2021. The increase of DKK 819 million, or 81%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX, TEPEZZA and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our daratumumab collaboration with Janssen, teprotumumab collaboration with Roche and ofatumumab collaboration with Novartis. The table below summarizes Genmab’s royalty revenue by product.

Net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 1,856 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to USD 1,365 million in the first three months of 2021. The increase of USD 491 million, or 36%, was driven by the continued strong uptake of DARZALEX. Royalty revenue on net sales of DARZALEX was DKK 1,501 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 984 million in the first three months of 2021, an increase of DKK 517 million. The percentage increase in royalties of 53% is higher than the percentage increase in the underlying net sales primarily due to higher average exchange rate between the USD and DKK and a higher effective royalty rate for the first three months of 2022, partly offset by the increase in Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme in connection with SC sales.
TEPEZZA was launched by Horizon in the first quarter of 2020. Royalties, which are based on net sales, amounted to DKK 199 million during the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 2 million in the first three months of 2021. TEPEZZA sales in the first three months of 2021 were impacted by the U.S. government-mandated COVID-19 production interruption.

Interim Report for the First Quarter of 2022
Novartis was granted U.S. FDA approval for Kesimpta in RMS and Genmab started recognizing royalties on net sales of Kesimpta during the third quarter of 2020. Royalties, which are based on net sales, amounted to DKK 129 million for the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 31 million for the first three months of 2021. The increase of DKK 98 million was driven by increased net sales of Kesimpta.
Janssen was granted U.S. FDA approval for RYBREVANT, a fully human bispecific antibody that targets EGFR and Met, and Genmab started recognizing royalties on net sales of RYBREVANT during the second quarter of 2021. Royalties were not material for the first three months of 2022.
Royalty revenue fluctuations from period to period are due primarily to the level of product net sales as well as foreign currency exchange rates.
Reimbursement Revenue
Reimbursement revenue amounted to DKK 135 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 110 million in the first three months of 2021. The increase of DKK 25 million, or 23%, was primarily driven by higher activities under our collaboration agreement with BioNTech for DuoBody-PD-L1x4-1BB and DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB.
Milestone Revenue
Milestone revenue was DKK 111 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 454 million in the first three months of 2021, a decrease of DKK 343 million, or 76%, primarily driven by milestones achieved in the first three months of 2021 under our AbbVie and Janssen collaborations.
Milestone revenue may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to both the timing of achievements and the varying amount of each individual milestone under our license and collaboration agreements.
Collaboration Revenue
In September 2021, Genmab and Seagen announced U.S. FDA accelerated approval for Tivdak in previously treated recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. Collaboration revenue was DKK 37 million for the first three months of 2022.
Refer to Financial Statement Note 2 in this interim report for further details about revenue.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs amounted to DKK 1,153 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 848 million in the first three months of 2021. The increase of DKK 305 million, or 36%, was driven by the continued advancement of epcoritamab under our collaboration with AbbVie, continued advancement of DuoBody-PD-L1x4-1BB and DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB under our collaboration with BioNTech, and the increase in new team members to support the expansion of our product pipeline.
Research and development costs accounted for 72% of total operating expenses in the first three months of 2022 compared to 81% in the first three months of 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were DKK 452 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 201 million in the first three months of 2021. The increase of DKK 251 million, or 125%, was driven by the increase in new team members to support Tivdak post launch, continued expansion of

| 892 |
Net financial items decreased by DKK 794 million, or 89%, which were primarily driven by:
● | A decrease in foreign exchange rate gain, net due to USD strengthening against the DKK which was more favorable to our marketable securities and cash in the first three months of 2021, |
● | The loss on other investments due to the decrease in fair value of Genmab’s investments in common shares of CureVac and Bolt, and |
● | A loss on marketable securities driven by increases in interest rates in the United States and Europe. |
Refer to Financial Statement Note 4 in this interim report for further details about the net financial items.
Corporate tax expense for the first three months of 2022 was DKK 147 million compared to DKK 328 million for the first three months of 2021. The decrease in corporate tax expense is primarily the result of Genmab’s lower net result before tax. The effective tax rate in the first three months of 2022 was 24% compared to 23% in the first three months of 2021.

| (64) |
| (220) |
Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily related to our operating profit, changes in operating assets and liabilities, reversal of net financial items, and adjustments related to non-cash transactions. The primary driver of lower cash provided by operating activities was due the timing of corporate tax payments of DKK 455 million in Denmark in the first three months of 2022 that were not required in the first three months of 2021.
Net cash used in investing activities primarily reflects differences between the proceeds received from the sale and maturity of our investments and amounts invested, and the cash paid for investments in tangible assets. Purchases of marketable securities exceeded sales and maturities in both periods, but to a greater extent in the first three months of 2021. For the first three months of 2021, investing activities also includes the proceeds from the sale of CureVac shares of DKK 361 million. There were no sales of other investments in the first three months of 2022.
Net cash used in financing activities is primarily related to the exercise of warrants, purchase of treasury shares, lease payments, and payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees on net settled Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The decrease in cash used in financing activities for the periods is primarily driven by cash payments for the purchase of treasury shares of DKK 190 million in the first three months of 2021. There were no purchases of treasury shares in the first three months of 2022.
Genmab’s USD denominated cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities was 86% of Genmab’s total cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Cash and cash equivalents included short-term marketable securities of DKK 559 million as of March 31, 2022 compared to DKK 296 million as of December 31, 2021. In accordance with our accounting policy, securities purchased with a maturity of less than ninety days at the date of acquisition are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Refer to Financial Statement Note 3 in this interim report for further details about our marketable securities.

Balance Sheet
As of March 31, 2022, total assets were DKK 24,914 million compared to DKK 24,627 million on December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, assets were mainly comprised of marketable securities of DKK 10,917 million, cash and cash equivalents of DKK 9,071 million and current receivables of DKK 2,846 million. The current receivables consist primarily of amounts related to royalties from our collaboration agreements.
As of March 31, 2022, total liabilities were DKK 2,195 million compared to DKK 2,431 million on December 31, 2021. The decrease in total liabilities of DKK 236 million, or 10%, was primarily driven by timing of payments related to accounts payable and higher accrued compensation related to annual bonuses paid in the first three months of 2022.
Shareholders’ equity as of March 31, 2022 was DKK 22,719 million compared to DKK 22,196 million on December 31, 2021. The increase of DKK 523 million, or 2%, was driven primarily by Genmab’s net profit and share-based compensation expense related to the issuance of shares under Genmab’s warrant and RSU programs, partly offset by the net settlements of RSUs vested during the period. Genmab’s equity ratio was 91% as of March 31, 2022 compared to 90% as of December 31, 2021.
Team Members
As of March 31, 2022, the total number of team members was 1,309 compared to 871 as of March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily driven by the expansion and acceleration of our pipeline, as well as the investment in the expansion of commercialization capabilities, including support for Tivdak post launch, and broader organizational infrastructure.

Legal Matter – Janssen Binding Arbitration
In September 2020, Genmab commenced binding arbitration of two matters arising under its license agreement with Janssen relating to daratumumab. Under the license agreement, Genmab is, among other things, entitled to royalties from Janssen on sales of daratumumab (marketed as DARZALEX for IV administration and as DARZALEX FASPRO in the United States and as DARZALEX SC in Europe for SC administration). In April 2022, the arbitral tribunal issued an award in the binding arbitration of the two matters. Genmab did not seek a review of the award, and the award is now final.

1560 Copenhagen V, Denmark | www.genmab.com | CVR no. 2102 3884 |
Interim Report for the First Quarter of 2022
The first matter concerned the question as to whether Janssen’s obligation to pay royalties on sales of licensed product extends, in each applicable country, until the expiration or invalidation of the last-to-expire relevant Genmab-owned patent or the last-to-expire relevant Janssen-owned patent covering the product, as further defined and described in the license agreement. As to that matter, the tribunal determined by majority opinion that Janssen’s obligation to pay royalties to Genmab on sales of licensed product, in each applicable country, extends through the expiration or invalidation of the last-to-expire relevant Genmab-owned patent covering the product or use thereof, but not the relevant Janssen-owned patent. The relevant Genmab-owned issued U.S., European and Japanese patents will expire in the late 2020s and early 2030s.
The second matter concerned the question as to whether Genmab is required to share in Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme for the Halozyme enzyme technology used in the SC formulation of daratumumab (marketed as DARZALEX FASPRO® in the U.S.). The royalties Janssen pays to Halozyme represent a mid-single digit percentage rate of SC daratumumab sales. As to that matter, the tribunal ruled by majority opinion that Janssen is permitted to continue reducing its royalty payments to Genmab as an offset against a share of Janssen’s royalty payments made to Halozyme.

The interim report has been prepared using the same accounting policies as outlined in Section 1 – Basis of Presentation in the financial statements in the Genmab 2021 Annual Report (Annual Report).

In September 2020, Genmab commenced binding arbitration of two matters arising under its license agreement with Janssen relating to daratumumab. Under the license agreement, Genmab is, among other things, entitled to royalties from Janssen on sales of daratumumab (marketed as DARZALEX for IV administration and as DARZALEX FASPRO in the United States and as DARZALEX SC in Europe for SC administration). In April 2022, the arbitral tribunal issued an award in the binding arbitration of the two matters. Genmab did not seek a review of the award, and the award is now final.
The first matter concerned the question as to whether Janssen’s obligation to pay royalties on sales of licensed product extends, in each applicable country, until the expiration or invalidation of the last-to-expire relevant Genmab-owned patent or the last-to-expire relevant Janssen-owned patent covering the product, as further defined and described in the license agreement. As to that matter, the tribunal determined by majority opinion that Janssen’s obligation to pay royalties to Genmab on sales of licensed product, in each applicable country, extends through the expiration or invalidation of the last-to-expire relevant Genmab-owned patent covering the product or use thereof, but not the relevant Janssen-owned patent. The relevant Genmab-owned issued U.S., European and Japanese patents will expire in the late 2020s and early 2030s.

Interim Report for the First Quarter of 2022
The second matter concerned the question as to whether Genmab is required to share in Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme for the Halozyme enzyme technology used in the SC formulation of daratumumab (marketed as DARZALEX FASPRO® in the U.S.). The royalties Janssen pays to Halozyme represent a mid-single digit percentage rate of SC daratumumab sales. As to that matter, the tribunal ruled by majority opinion that Janssen is permitted to continue reducing its royalty payments to Genmab as an offset against a share of Janssen’s royalty payments made to Halozyme.
Refer to Note 2.1 in the Annual Report for further details regarding revenue.

Foreign exchange rate gain, net was DKK 401 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 783 million in the first three months of 2021. The USD strengthened against the DKK in each period which positively impacted our USD denominated marketable securities and cash holdings, but to a greater extent in 2021. Refer to Note 4.2 in the Annual Report for further details regarding foreign currency risk.
Loss on other investments, net was DKK 146 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to gain on other investments, net of DKK 123 million in the first three months of 2021. The change was driven by the decrease in fair value of Genmab’s investment in common shares of CureVac and Bolt.
Loss on marketable securities, net was DKK 189 million in the first three months of 2022 compared to DKK 73 million in the first three months of 2021. The increase in fair value losses on marketable securities was primarily driven by increases in interest rates in the United States and Europe.
