Highlights
● | Genmab revenue increased 60% compared to the first nine months of 2021, to DKK 9,368 million |
● | Genmab improves its 2022 financial guidance |
“During the first nine months of the year we continued to build on Genmab’s consistent track record of success. We have strengthened our pipeline, our team and our financial foundation is even more robust. We are pleased with the recent U.S. and European regulatory submissions for epcoritamab. These submissions are an important step in potentially bringing epcoritamab to people living with certain hematologic malignancies who are in need of a new treatment option,” said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.
Financial Performance First Nine Months of 2022
● | Net sales of DARZALEX® by Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen) were USD 5,894 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to USD 4,378 million in the first nine months of 2021, an increase of USD 1,516 million, or 35%. |
● | Operating profit was DKK 3,692 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 2,209 million in the first nine months of 2021. |
● | Net financial items was income of DKK 2,681 million for the first nine months of 2022 compared to income of DKK 808 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase of DKK 1,873 million was primarily driven by net foreign exchange rate gains due to the USD strengthening against the DKK. |

Genmab Announces Financial Results for the First Nine Months of 2022
Epcoritamab Regulatory Update
There were two regulatory submissions for epcoritamab in the second half of 2022. Genmab submitted a biologics license application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) for subcutaneous (SC) epcoritamab for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy. Additionally, AbbVie submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for SC epcoritamab for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) after two or more lines of systemic therapy, which has been validated by the EMA. Both submissions were supported by results from the LBCL cohort of the pivotal EPCORE™ NHL-1 open-label, multi-center trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of epcoritamab in patients with relapsed, progressive or refractory CD20+ mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), including DLBCL.
Outlook
As announced in Company Announcement No. 54, Genmab is improving its 2022 financial guidance published on August 8, 2022, driven primarily by the positive foreign exchange rate impact on our royalty revenue, and the continued strong performance of DARZALEX net sales.

Genmab is improving its 2022 financial guidance published on August 8, 2022, driven primarily by the positive foreign exchange rate impact on our royalty revenue, and the continued strong performance of DARZALEX net sales.
Revenue
Genmab expects its 2022 revenue to be in the range of DKK 13,500 – 14,500 million, an increase to the previous guidance of DKK 12,000 – 13,000 million, driven primarily by the positive foreign exchange rate impact on our royalty revenue, and the continued strong performance of DARZALEX net sales. Genmab’s projected revenue for 2022 primarily consists of DARZALEX royalties of DKK 10,000 – 10,300 million compared to the previous guidance of DKK 8,800 – 9,300 million. Such royalties are based on Genmab’s revised estimate of DARZALEX 2022 net sales of USD 8.0 – 8.2 billion compared to the previous guidance of USD 7.8 – 8.2 billion. DARZALEX royalties are partly offset by Genmab’s share of Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme in connection with subcutaneous (SC) net sales. The upper end of the revenue guidance range now assumes a significant milestone associated with the potential acceptance by the U.S. FDA to review the BLA submission for epcoritamab. The remainder of Genmab’s revenue primarily consists of royalties from TEPEZZA, Kesimpta and RYBREVANT®, reimbursement revenue, milestones including those for epcoritamab and teclistamab as well as collaboration revenue with Seagen Inc. (Seagen) for Tivdak.
Genmab anticipates its 2022 operating expenses to be in the range of DKK 8,000 – 8,400 million, an increase to the previous guidance of DKK 7,600 – 8,200 million, primarily driven by the negative impact of the strong U.S. Dollar. 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 profit to be in the range of DKK 5,100 – 6,500 million, an increase to the previous guidance of DKK 3,800 – 5,400 million, driven primarily by the items described above.
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, RYBREVANT and TECVAYLI® net sales and royalties paid to Genmab; and currency exchange rates (the 2022 guidance assumes a USD / DKK exchange rate of 7.2 compared to 6.8 in the previous guidance). 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.
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, RYBREVANT and TECVAYLI by Genmab’s partners and on Genmab’s royalty, milestone and collaboration revenue therefrom.

Interim Report for the First Nine Months of 2022
PRODUCT PIPELINE AND TECHNOLOGY PROGRESS FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2022
At the end of the first nine months of 2022, Genmab’s proprietary pipeline of investigational medicines, where we are responsible for at least 50% of development, consisted of eight antibody products in clinical development. These include Genmab’s first U.S. FDA approved medicine, Tivdak, that Genmab is co-developing and co-promoting in the U.S. with Seagen. In addition to our own pipeline, there are multiple investigational medicines in development by global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including five approved medicines powered by Genmab’s technology and innovations. Beyond the investigational medicines in clinical development, our pipeline also includes multiple preclinical programs. An overview of the development status of each of our investigational medicines is provided in the following sections, including updates for the third quarter of 2022. For events that occurred during the first and second quarters of 2022, please refer to Genmab’s Q1 2022 and Q2 2022 Interim Reports, respectively. Detailed descriptions of dosing, efficacy and safety data from certain clinical trials have been disclosed in company announcements and media releases published via the Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchange and may also be found in Genmab’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Tivdak (tisotumab vedotin-tftv) – First and only U.S. FDA approved antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer
● | An ADC directed to tissue factor (TF), a protein highly prevalent in solid tumors, including cervical cancer, which is associated with poor prognosis |
● | Accelerated approval granted by the U.S. FDA for Tivdak, the first and only approved ADC for the treatment of adult patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after chemotherapy |
● | U.S. FDA approval was based on data from the innovaTV 204 (NCT03438396) Phase 2 single-arm clinical study evaluating tisotumab vedotin as monotherapy in patients with previously treated recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer |
● | In addition to a Phase 3 study in recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer (innovaTV 301, NCT04697628), multiple Phase 2 clinical studies in other solid tumors are ongoing |
● | Co-developed globally and co-promoted in the U.S. in collaboration with Seagen |
Tivdak is an ADC composed of Genmab’s human monoclonal antibody directed to TF and Seagen’s ADC technology that utilizes a protease-cleavable linker that covalently attaches the microtubule-disrupting agent monomethyl auristatin E to the antibody. Genmab used technology licensed from Medarex Inc. (Medarex) to generate the TF antibody forming part of Tivdak. Tivdak is the first and only U.S. FDA approved ADC for the treatment of adult patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer with disease progression on or after chemotherapy. Tivdak is being co-developed by Genmab and Seagen. Under a joint commercialization agreement, Genmab is co-promoting Tivdak in the U.S. and will lead commercial operational activities in Japan. Seagen is leading commercial operational activities in the U.S. and will lead commercial operational activities in Europe and China. In these four markets there will be a 50:50 cost and profit split. In other markets, Seagen will commercialize Tivdak and Genmab will receive royalties based on a percentage of aggregate net sales ranging from the mid-teens to the mid-twenties. The companies have joint decision-making on the worldwide development and commercialization strategy for Tivdak. The companies have a broad clinical development program for Tivdak, including a confirmatory Phase 3 study in recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.
Please consult the U.S. Prescribing Information for Tivdak for the labeled indication and safety information, including the boxed warning.

Interim Report for the First Nine Months of 2022
Royalties
Royalty revenue amounted to DKK 8,207 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 4,698 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase of DKK 3,509 million, or 75%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX, Kesimpta and TEPEZZA royalties achieved under our daratumumab collaboration with Janssen, ofatumumab collaboration with Novartis, and teprotumumab collaboration with Roche, respectively. The table below summarizes Genmab’s royalty revenue by product.

Net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 5,894 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to USD 4,378 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase of USD 1,516 million, or 35%, was driven by share gains, continued strong market growth and uptake of the DARZALEX SC product. Royalty revenue on net sales of DARZALEX was DKK 7,073 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 4,167 million in the first nine months of 2021, an increase of DKK 2,906 million. The percentage increase in royalties of 70% is higher than the percentage increase in the underlying net sales primarily due to the higher average exchange rate between the USD and DKK, other positive foreign exchange rate impacts, and a higher effective royalty rate for the first nine months of 2022, partly offset by the increase in Genmab’s share of Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme in connection with SC product net sales. Under our license agreement with Janssen for DARZALEX, for purposes of calculating royalties due to Genmab, DARZALEX net sales for non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at a specified annual Currency Hedge Rate. This contractual arrangement is the driver for the other foreign exchange impacts discussed above.
Net sales of TEPEZZA by Horizon were USD 1,472 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to USD 1,072 million in the first nine months of 2021. TEPEZZA net sales in the first quarter of 2021 were negatively impacted by the U.S. government-mandated COVID-19 production interruption. Royalty revenue on net sales of TEPEZZA was DKK 597 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 384 million in the first nine months of 2021, an increase of DKK 213 million, or 55%.
Net sales of Kesimpta by Novartis were USD 723 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to USD 224 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase of USD 499 million was primarily driven by US launch momentum. Royalty revenue on net sales of Kesimpta was DKK 509 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 140 million in the first nine months of 2021, an increase of DKK 369 million.
Janssen was granted U.S. FDA approval for RYBREVANT during the second quarter of 2021, and Genmab subsequently started recognizing royalties on net sales of RYBREVANT. Royalties were not material for the first nine months of 2022 or 2021.

Interim Report for the First Nine Months of 2022
Royalty revenue fluctuations from period to period are due primarily to the level of product net sales, foreign currency exchange rates and more specifically to DARZALEX, Genmab’s share of Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme in connection with SC product net sales.
Reimbursement Revenue
Reimbursement revenue amounted to DKK 594 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 371 million in the first nine months of 2021. The increase of DKK 223 million, or 60%, was primarily driven by higher activities under our collaboration agreements with BioNTech for HexaBody-CD27 and DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB.
Milestone Revenue
Milestone revenue was DKK 288 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 794 million in the first nine months of 2021, a decrease of DKK 506 million, or 64%, primarily driven by milestones achieved in the first nine months of 2021 under our Janssen and AbbVie 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 273 million for the first nine months of 2022 and includes a one-off payment due from Seagen of approximately USD 15 million (DKK 112 million) which reflects Genmab’s share (50%) of payments received by Seagen in connection with the sublicense of its rights to develop and commercialize tisotumab vedotin in China to Zai Lab Hong Kong pursuant to Genmab’s Joint Commercialization Agreement with Seagen.
Refer to Financial Statement Note 2 in this interim report for further details about revenue.
Key Developments to Revenue - Third Quarter of 2022
Genmab’s revenue was DKK 4,087 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to DKK 2,310 million for the third quarter of 2021. The increase of DKK 1,777 million, or 77%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX royalties achieved under our collaboration with Janssen.
Janssen was granted approval for TECVAYLI in Europe for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma during the third quarter of 2022. Milestone revenue in the third quarter of 2022 includes a USD 15 million (DKK 112 million) milestone due from Janssen for the approval of TECVAYLI in Europe for the treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma.

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. Cash provided by operating activities increased compared to the first nine months of 2021 primarily driven by an increase in operating profit of DKK 1,483 million, partly offset by the timing of corporate tax payments of DKK 455 million in Denmark in the first nine months of 2022.

Interim Report for the First Nine Months of 2022
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 to a greater extent in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021. For the first nine months of 2021, investing activities also include the proceeds from the sale of CureVac shares of DKK 438 million. There were no sales of other investments in the first nine months of 2022.
Net cash (used in) / provided by financing activities is primarily related to the purchase of treasury shares, exercise of warrants, lease payments, and payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees on net settled Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The increase in cash used in financing activities for the periods is primarily driven by cash payments for the purchase of treasury shares of DKK 908 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 447 million in the first nine months of 2021.
Exchange rate adjustments represent foreign currency gains or losses on Genmab’s cash and cash equivalents, primarily driven by our cash and cash equivalents holdings denominated in USD. The increase in exchange rate adjustments results from the USD strengthening against the DKK to a much greater extent in the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021.
Genmab’s USD denominated cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities represented 89% of Genmab’s total cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2022 compared to 86% as of December 31, 2021.
Cash and cash equivalents included short-term marketable securities of DKK 1,295 million as of September 30, 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.
Key Developments to Cash Flows - Third Quarter of 2022
No significant key developments other than the items described above.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2022, total assets were DKK 30,686 million compared to DKK 24,627 million on December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, assets were mainly comprised of marketable securities of DKK 13,411 million, cash and cash equivalents of DKK 10,377 million and current receivables of DKK 4,951 million. The current receivables consist primarily of amounts related to royalties from our collaboration agreements.
As of September 30, 2022, total liabilities were DKK 4,029 million compared to DKK 2,431 million on December 31, 2021. The increase in total liabilities of DKK 1,598 million, or 66%, was primarily driven by the increase in corporate tax payable due to Genmab’s net result before tax and timing of estimated tax payments, and increase in accrued research and development costs related to the continued advancement of Genmab projects.
Shareholders’ equity as of September 30, 2022 was DKK 26,657 million compared to DKK 22,196 million on December 31, 2021. The increase of DKK 4,461 million, or 20%, 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 purchase of treasury shares during the period. Genmab’s equity ratio was 87% as of September 30, 2022 compared to 90% as of December 31, 2021.

Legal Matters – Janssen Binding Arbitrations
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 net 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.
On June 9, 2022, Genmab announced the commencement of a second arbitration under the daratumumab license agreement with Janssen. This second arbitration follows from the award in the prior arbitration, where the tribunal ruled in favor of Janssen on the question as to whether Genmab is required to share in Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme for its technology used in the daratumumab SC product. The tribunal based its ruling on the finding that DARZALEX FASPRO constitutes a new licensed product under the license agreement.
In this second arbitration, Genmab is consequently seeking an award of USD 405 million plus interest in accrued milestone payments for DARZALEX FASPRO and a declaration that it is entitled to a new 13-year royalty term from the date of DARZALEX FASPRO’s first commercial sale. See Company Announcement no. 21.

Under the license agreement, Genmab is, among other things, entitled to royalties from Janssen on net 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.

Foreign exchange rate gain, net was DKK 3,248 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 1,049 million in the first nine 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 2022. Refer to Note 4.2 in the Annual Report for further details regarding foreign currency risk.
Loss on marketable securities, net was DKK 455 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 184 million in the first nine 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.
Loss on other investments, net was DKK 280 million in the first nine months of 2022 compared to DKK 209 million in the first nine months of 2021. The change was primarily driven by the decrease in fair value of Genmab’s investment in common shares of CureVac.

As of September 30, 2022, 599,883 treasury shares were held by Genmab to cover obligations in relation to the RSU programs and to mitigate the dilutive effect of share capital increases resulting from future exercises of warrants.
Genmab’s related parties are Genmab A/S’ (parent company) subsidiaries, Board of Directors, the registered Executive Management, and close members of the family of these persons.
Genmab has not granted any loans, guarantees or other commitments to or on behalf of any of the members of the Board of Directors or members of the registered Executive Management.
Other than the remuneration and other transactions relating to the Board of Directors and the registered Executive Management described in Note 5.1 in the Annual Report, there were no material related party transactions during the first nine months of 2022.
Changes to the Executive Management Team and the Board of Directors
Genmab has decided to implement an administrative organizational change whereby effective January 1, 2023, only Jan van de Winkel, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Anthony Pagano, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will be formally registered as executive managers with the Danish Business Authority. Judith Klimovsky, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer, Anthony Mancini, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, and Tahamtan Ahmadi, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, will cease to be registered as executive managers with the Danish Business Authority; however, apart from the formal registration amendments there will be no changes to the Executive Management Team, including titles, areas of responsibility or otherwise.
Additionally, during the first nine months of 2022, there were two changes to the Executive Management Team. Effective March 1, 2022, Chris Cozic was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer, and Birgitte Stephensen was appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer. They join the existing Executive Management Team but are not regarded as executive managers pursuant to the Danish Companies Act and are therefore not registered with the Danish Business Authority.
Following Genmab A/S’ Annual General Meeting on March 29, 2022, the Board of Directors is comprised of five independent board members, one non-independent board member, and three employee-elected board members. Deirdre P. Connelly (Chair), Pernille Erenbjerg (Deputy Chair), Rolf Hoffmann, Dr. Paolo Paoletti, and Dr. Anders Gersel Pedersen were re-elected to the Board of Directors for a one-year period. Elizabeth O’Farrell was newly elected for a one-year period. Mijke Zachariasse, Martin Schultz and Takahiro Hamatani were elected to the Board of Directors by the employees for a three-year period. Peter Storm Kristensen and Rima Bawarshi Nassar stepped down from the Board of Directors.
