‒    Core EPS increased 19% to $8.21

‒    Second interim dividend declared of $2.10 per share, making a total annual dividend declared for FY 2024 of $3.10 per share, an increase of 7%. Dividend to be further increased in FY 2025

‒    Guidance for FY 2025: Total Revenue is expected to increase by a high single-digit percentage and Core EPS is expected to increase by a low double-digit percentage, both at CER

Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca, said:

"Our company delivered a very strong performance in 2024 with Total Revenue and Core EPS up 21% and 19% respectively. We also delivered nine positive high value Phase III studies in the year, which coupled with increasing demand for our medicines in all key regions, will help sustain our growth momentum into 2025.

This year marks the beginning of an unprecedented, catalyst-rich period for our company, an important step on our Ambition 2030 journey to deliver $80 billion Total Revenue by the end of the decade. In 2025 alone, we anticipate the first Phase III data for seven new medicines, along with several important new indication opportunities for our existing medicines.

We are also investing in and making significant progress with transformative technologies that have the potential to drive our growth well beyond 2030, many of which have now entered pivotal trials."

Key milestones achieved since the prior results announcement

‒    Positive read-outs for Truqap in combination with abiraterone and androgen deprivation therapy in PTEN-deficient de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (CAPItello-281) and Tagrisso with or without chemotherapy in resectable early-stage EGFRm NSCLC (NeoADAURA)

‒    US approvals for Imfinzi in limited-stage small cell lung cancer (ADRIATIC), Calquence in combination with bendamustine and rituximab in mantle cell lymphoma (ECHO), Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan) in HR+ HER2- metastatic breast cancer (TROPION-Breast01) and Enhertu in chemotherapy-na●ve HER2-low and -ultralow metastatic breast cancer (DESTINY-Breast06). EU approvals for Tagrisso in unresectable EGFRm NSCLC (LAURA) and Kavigale for prevention of COVID-19 (SUPERNOVA). Japan approvals for Imfinzi in endometrial cancer (DUO-E), Lynparza plus Imfinzi in pMMR endometrial cancer (DUO-E), Calquence tablet formulation in chronic / small lymphocytic leukaemia, Datroway in HR+ HER2- metastatic breast cancer, Fasenra in EGPA (MANDARA) and Kavigale for prevention of COVID-19. China approvals for Lynparza in gBRCAm HER2- early breast cancer (OlympiA), Orpathys in locally advanced or metastatic MET Exon 14 NSCLC (NCT04923945)

Guidance

The Company issues its Total Revenue and Core EPS guidance for FY 2025 at CER, based on the average foreign exchange rates through 2024.

  Total Revenue is expected to increase by a high single-digit percentage

Core EPS is expected to increase by a low double-digit percentage

‒    The Core Tax rate is expected to be between 18-22%

The Company is unable to provide guidance on a Reported basis because it cannot reliably forecast material elements of the Reported results, including any fair value adjustments arising on acquisition-related liabilities, intangible asset impairment charges and legal settlement provisions. Please refer to the cautionary statements section regarding forward-looking statements at the end of this announcement.

Currency impact

If foreign exchange rates for February 2025 to December 2025 were to remain at the average rates seen in January 2025, it is anticipated that Total Revenue in FY 2025 would incur a low single-digit percentage adverse impact compared to the performance at CER, and Core EPS would incur a mid-single-digit percentage adverse impact. The Company's foreign exchange rate sensitivity analysis is provided in Table 17.

Capital allocation

In FY 2025, the Company intends to increase the annual dividend declared to $3.20 per share. The Company also expects to increase capital expenditure[3] by approximately 50%, driven by manufacturing expansion projects and investment in IT systems, to support portfolio growth and build capacity for transformative technologies.

China

In relation to the illegal drug importation allegations, in January 2025, AstraZeneca received a Notice of Transfer to the Prosecutor and an Appraisal Opinion from the Shenzhen City Customs Office regarding suspected unpaid importation taxes amounting to $0.9 million. To the best of AstraZeneca's knowledge, the importation taxes referred to in the Appraisal Opinion relate to Imfinzi and Imjudo. A fine of between one and five times the amount of unpaid importation taxes may also be levied if AstraZeneca is found liable. AstraZeneca continues to fully cooperate with the Chinese authorities.

In December 2024 AstraZeneca announced the appointment of Iskra Reic as Executive Vice President, International, which encompasses China, Asian and Eurasian markets, Middle East & Africa, Latin America, Australia & New Zealand. Iskra succeeds Leon Wang who is on extended leave from the Company while under investigation in China.

Operating and financial review

All narrative on growth and results in this section is based on actual exchange rates, and financial figures are in US$ millions ($m), unless stated otherwise. The performance shown in this announcement covers the twelve-month period to 31 December 2024 ('the year' or 'FY 2024') compared to the twelve-month period to 31 December 2023 (FY 2023), or the three-month period to 31 December 2024 ('the quarter' or 'Q4 2024') compared to the three-month period to 31 December 2023 ('Q4 2023'), unless stated otherwise.

Core financial measures, EBITDA, Net debt, Product Sales Gross Margin, Operating Margin and CER are non-GAAP financial measures because they cannot be derived directly from the Group's Condensed consolidated financial statements. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when provided in combination with Reported results, provide investors and analysts with helpful supplementary information to understand better the financial performance and position of the Group on a comparable basis from period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Core financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain significant items:

‒    Charges and provisions related to our global restructuring programmes, which includes charges that relate to the impact of restructuring programmes on our capitalised manufacturing assets and IT assets

‒    Amortisation and impairment of intangible assets, including impairment reversals but excluding any charges relating to IT assets

‒    Other specified items, principally comprising acquisition-related costs and credits, which include the imputed finance charges and fair value movements relating to contingent consideration on business combinations, imputed finance charges and remeasurement adjustments on certain Other payables arising from intangible asset acquisitions, remeasurement adjustments relating to certain Other payables and debt items assumed from the Alexion acquisition and legal settlements

‒    The tax effects of the adjustments above are excluded from the Core Tax charge

Details on the nature of Core financial measures are provided on page 61 of the Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2023.

Reference should be made to the Reconciliation of Reported to Core financial measures table included in the financial performance section in this announcement.

Product Sales Gross Margin is calculated by dividing the difference between Product Sales and Cost of Sales by the Product Sales. The calculation of Reported and Core Product Sales Gross Margin excludes the impact of Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue and any associated costs, thereby reflecting the underlying performance of Product Sales.

EBITDA is defined as Reported Profit before tax after adding back Net finance expense, results from Joint ventures and associates and charges for Depreciation, amortisation and impairment. Reference should be made to the Reconciliation of Reported Profit before tax to EBITDA included in the financial performance section in this announcement.

Operating margin is defined as Operating profit as a percentage of Total Revenue.

Net debt is defined as Interest-bearing loans and borrowings and Lease liabilities, net of Cash and cash equivalents, Other investments, and Net derivative financial instruments. Reference should be made to Note 3 'Net debt' included in the Notes to the Condensed consolidated financial statements in this announcement.

The Company strongly encourages investors and analysts not to rely on any single financial measure, but to review AstraZeneca's financial statements, including the Notes thereto, and other available Company reports, carefully and in their entirety.

Due to rounding, the sum of a number of dollar values and percentages in this announcement may not agree to totals.

Profit and Loss drivers

Gross profit

‒    The calculation of Reported and Core Product Sales Gross Margin excludes the impact of Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue

‒    The change in Product Sales Gross Margin (Reported and Core) in FY 2024 was impacted by:

‒      Positive effects from product mix. The increased contribution from Rare Disease and Oncology medicines had a positive impact on the Product Sales Gross Margin

‒      Dilutive effects from product mix. The rising contribution of Product Sales with profit sharing arrangements (Lynparza, Enhertu, Tezspire, Koselugo) has a negative impact on Product Sales Gross Margin because AstraZeneca records Product Sales in certain markets and pays away a share of the gross profits to its collaboration partners. The growth in Beyfortus also has a dilutive impact on Product Sales Gross Margin, as AstraZeneca records its sales of manufactured product to its distribution partner Sanofi as Product Sales; those have a lower Product Sales Gross Margin than the Company average

‒      Dilutive effects from geographic mix. In Emerging Markets, the Product Sales Gross Margin tends to be below the Company average        

‒      The reported Product Sales Gross Margin included inventory and related contract provisions of $529m related to Andexxa, which was part of the PAAGR restructuring program (see Note 2 in the Notes to the Condensed consolidated financial statements section)

‒    Variations in Product Sales Gross Margin performance between periods can continue to be expected due to product seasonality, foreign exchange fluctuations, and other effects

R&D expense

‒    The change in R&D expense (Reported and Core) in the period was impacted by:

‒      Positive data read-outs for high value pipeline opportunities that have ungated late-stage trials

‒      Investment in platforms, new technology and capabilities to enhance R&D capabilities

‒      Addition of R&D projects following completion of previously announced business development activity including Icosavax, Gracell, Fusion and Amolyt

‒    The change in Reported R&D expense was also impacted by intangible asset impairments in the year, including $753m recorded against the vemircopan (ALXN2050) intangible asset

SG&A expense

 ‒    The change in SG&A expense (Reported and Core) in the period was driven primarily by market development activities for launches and to support continued growth in existing brands

‒    The Reported SG&A expense included impairment charges of $504m recorded against the Andexxa intangible asset

Other operating income and expense

‒    In the prior year period, Other operating income and expense included a $241m gain on disposal of the US rights to Pulmicort Flexhaler and a $712m gain relating to updated contractual arrangements for Beyfortus

Net finance expense

‒    Core Net finance expense increased 19% (15% increase at CER) due to the increased level of debt and new debt issued at higher interest rates

Taxation

‒    The effective Reported and Core Tax rate for the twelve months to 31 December 2024 was 19% (FY 2023: 14% and 17% respectively)

‒    The cash tax paid for the twelve months to 31 December 2024 was $2,750m (2023: $2,366m), representing 32% of Reported Profit before tax (2023: 34%)

Dividends

‒    A second interim dividend of $2.10 per share (168.0 pence, 22.96 SEK) has been declared, resulting in a full-year dividend per share of $3.10 (245.6 pence, 33.75 SEK)

‒    Dividend payments are normally paid as follows:

‒    First interim dividend - announced with half-year and second-quarter results and paid in September

‒    Second interim dividend - announced with full-year and fourth-quarter results and paid in March

‒    Provisional dates for the 2024 second interim dividend: ex-dividend 20 February 2025, record date 21 February 2025, payable on 24 March 2025.

Net cash outflow from financing activities	(3,996)	(6,567)	2,571

The change in Net cash inflow before financing activities of $2,400m is primarily driven by Acquisitions of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired of $2,771m, and relates to the acquisition of Gracell Biotechnologies, Inc. for $774m and acquisition of Fusion Pharmaceuticals Inc., for $1,997m as compared to the acquisition of Neogene Therapeutics, Inc. for $189m in FY 2023.

The decrease in Net cash outflow from financing activities of $2,571m is primarily driven by increased issuance of long-term loans of $6,492m in the period compared to $3,816m issued in the comparative period.

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets amounted to $2,218m in FY 2024 (FY 2023: $1,516m). The increase of capital expenditure in 2024 was driven by investment in several major manufacturing projects and continued investment in technology upgrades.

Each series of AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes has been fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AstraZeneca PLC. AstraZeneca Finance is 100% owned by AstraZeneca PLC and each of the guarantees issued by AstraZeneca PLC is full and unconditional and joint and several.

The AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes are senior unsecured obligations of AstraZeneca Finance and rank equally with all of AstraZeneca Finance's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantee by AstraZeneca PLC of the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of AstraZeneca PLC and ranks equally with all of AstraZeneca PLC's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Each guarantee by AstraZeneca PLC is effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of AstraZeneca PLC to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of the subsidiaries of AstraZeneca PLC, none of which guarantee the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes.

AstraZeneca PLC manages substantially all of its operations through divisions, branches and/or investments in subsidiaries and affiliates. Accordingly, the ability of AstraZeneca PLC to service its debt and guarantee obligations is also dependent upon the earnings of its subsidiaries, affiliates, branches and divisions, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or otherwise.

Please refer to the Consolidated financial statements of AstraZeneca PLC in our Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the SEC and information contained herein for further financial information regarding AstraZeneca PLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. For further details, terms and conditions of the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes please refer to AstraZeneca PLC's reports on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on 22 February 2024, 3 March 2023 and 28 May 2021.

Pursuant to Rule 13-01 and Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), we present below the summary financial information for AstraZeneca PLC, as Guarantor, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries, and AstraZeneca Finance, as the issuer, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries. The following summary financial information of AstraZeneca PLC and AstraZeneca Finance is presented on a combined basis and transactions between the combining entities have been eliminated. Financial information for non-guarantor entities has been excluded. Intercompany balances and transactions between the obligor group and the non-obligor subsidiaries are presented on separate lines.

Capital allocation

The Company's capital allocation priorities include: investing in the business and pipeline; maintaining a strong, investment-grade credit rating; potential value-enhancing business development opportunities; and supporting the progressive dividend policy. In approving the declaration of dividends, the Board considers both the liquidity of the company and the level of reserves legally available for distribution. In FY 2025, the Company intends to increase the annual dividend per share declared to $3.20 per share.

Dividends are paid to shareholders from AstraZeneca PLC, a Group holding company with no direct operations. The ability of AstraZeneca PLC to make shareholder distributions is dependent on the creation of profits for distribution and the receipt of funds from subsidiary companies. The consolidated Group reserves set out in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position do not reflect the profit available for distribution to the shareholders of AstraZeneca PLC.

In FY 2024, capital expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets amounted to $2,218m. In FY 2025 the Company expects to increase expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets by approximately 50%, driven by manufacturing expansion projects and investments in systems and technology.

Foreign exchange

The Company's transactional currency exposures on working capital balances, which typically extend for up to three months, are hedged where practicable using forward foreign exchange contracts against the individual companies' reporting currency. Foreign exchange gains and losses on forward contracts transacted for transactional hedging are taken to profit or to Other comprehensive income if the contract is in a designated cashflow hedge. In addition, the Company's external dividend payments, paid principally in pound sterling and Swedish krona, are fully hedged from announcement to payment date.

Notes to the Condensed consolidated financial statements

Note 1: Basis of preparation and accounting policies

These Condensed consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards. The Condensed consolidated financial statements also comply fully with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

These Condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial results of AstraZeneca PLC for the years to 31 December 2024 and 2023 together with the Statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024 and 2023. The results for the year to 31 December 2024 have been extracted from the 31 December 2024 audited consolidated financial statements which have been approved by the Board of Directors. These have not yet been delivered to the Registrar of Companies but are expected to be published on 18 February 2025 within the Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024.

The financial information set out above does not constitute the Group's statutory accounts for the years to 31 December 2024 or 2023 but is derived from these accounts. The auditors have reported on those accounts: their reports (i) were unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 in respect of the accounts for the year to 31 December 2024 or for 31 December 2023. Statutory accounts for the year to 31 December 2024 were approved by the Board of Directors for release on 6 February 2025.

Amendments to accounting standards issued by the IASB and adopted in the year ended 31 December 2024 did not have a material impact on the result or financial position of the Group and the Condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared applying the accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the Group's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 are not the Group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Group's auditors and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies; their report was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Going concern

The Group has considerable financial resources available. As at 31 December 2024, the Group has $10.4bn in financial resources (cash and cash equivalent balances of $5.5bn and undrawn committed bank facilities of $4.9bn that were available until April 2029), with $2.7bn of borrowings due within one year. These facilities contain no financial covenants, and in January 2025 their maturity was extended to April 2030.

The Group has assessed the prospects of the Group over a period longer than the required 12 months from the date of Board approval of these consolidated financial statements, with no deterioration noted requiring a further extension of this review. The Group's revenues are largely derived from sales of medicines covered by patents, which provide a relatively high level of resilience and predictability to cash inflows, although government price interventions in response to budgetary constraints are expected to continue to adversely affect revenues in some of our significant markets. The Group, however, anticipates new revenue streams from both recently launched medicines and those in development, and the Group has a wide diversity of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas.

Consequently, the Directors believe that, overall, the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Condensed consolidated financial statements.

Legal proceedings

The information contained in Note 6 updates the disclosures concerning legal proceedings and contingent liabilities in the Group's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2023.

Employee Benefit Trusts

Following an amendment to the Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) Deed on 10 June 2024, AstraZeneca obtained control and commenced consolidation of the EBT from June 2024. From that date, cash paid on purchases of AstraZeneca Ordinary shares or American Depositary Receipts is presented within Financing activities in the Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Note 2: Intangible assets

In accordance with IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets', reviews for triggers of impairment or impairment reversals at an individual asset or cash generating unit level were conducted, and impairment tests carried out where triggers were identified. In 2024, the Group recorded impairment charges of $504m in respect of launched products. Following a strategic review of our portfolio priorities, the business decision was made to cease promotional activity for Andexxa resulting in impairment charges of $504m recorded against the Andexxa intangible asset under a value-in-use model applying a discount rate of 7.5% (revised carrying amount: $nil).

Impairment charges recorded against products in development totalled $1,073m. This included vemircopan (ALXN2050) (acquired as part of the Alexion business combination in 2021 - $753m) which was terminated, the decision was based on safety and efficacy data from Phase II trials across multiple indications. In December 2024, the intangible asset relating to the product in development, FPI-2059, was fully impaired by $165m due to portfolio prioritisation decisions. Development of FPI-2265 and AZD2068 are still ongoing and continue to be a priority. The remaining impairments of $155m relate to impairments of various products in development, due to either management's decision to discontinue development as part of Group-wide portfolio prioritisation decisions, or due to the outcome of research activities.

Icosavax

The acquisition of Icosavax, Inc. completed on 19 February 2024. The transaction is recorded as an asset acquisition based on the concentration test permitted under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations', with consideration of $841m principally relating to $639m of intangible assets, $141m of cash and cash equivalents and $51m of marketable securities. Contingent consideration of up to $300m could be paid on achievement of regulatory and sales milestones; these potential liabilities would be recorded when the relevant recognition event for a regulatory or sales milestone is achieved.

Amolyt

The acquisition of Amolyt Pharma completed on 15 July 2024. The transaction is recorded as an asset acquisition based on the concentration test permitted under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations', with consideration of $857m principally relating to $800m of intangible assets and $98m of cash and cash equivalents. Contingent consideration of up to $250m could be paid on achievement of a regulatory milestone; this potential liability would be recorded when the relevant recognition event for a regulatory milestone is achieved.

Note 3: Net debt

The table below provides an analysis of Net debt and a reconciliation of Net cash flow to the movement in Net debt. The Group monitors Net debt as part of its capital management policy as described in Note 28 of the Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2023. Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Net debt increased by $2,060m in the twelve months to 31 December 2024 to $24,570m. Details of the committed undrawn bank facilities are disclosed within the going concern section of Note 1. Non-cash movements in the period include fair value adjustments under IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'.

In February 2024, AstraZeneca issued the following:

‒      $1,250m of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 4.8% maturing in February 2027

‒      $1,250m of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 4.85% maturing in February 2029

‒      $1,000m of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 4.9% maturing in February 2031

‒      $1,500m of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 5% maturing in February 2034

In August 2024, AstraZeneca issued the following:

‒      Û650m of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 3.121% maturing in August 2030

‒      Û750m of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 3.278% maturing in August 2033

Each of the above notes were issued by AstraZeneca Finance LLC and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AstraZeneca PLC.

AstraZeneca repaid two bonds with a total carrying value of $2,569m and floating rate bank loans of $2,000m during the twelve months which is included in the cash outflow from Repayment of loans and borrowings of $4,652m.

The Group has agreements with some bank counterparties whereby the parties agree to post cash collateral on financial derivatives, for the benefit of the other, equivalent to the market valuation of the derivative positions above a predetermined threshold. The carrying value of such cash collateral held by the Group at 31 December 2024 was $181m (31 December 2023: $215m) and the carrying value of such cash collateral posted by the Group at 31 December 2024 was $129m (31 December 2023: $102m).

The equivalent GAAP measure to Net debt is 'liabilities arising from financing activities', which excludes the amounts for cash and overdrafts, other investments and non-financing derivatives shown above and includes the Acerta Pharma share purchase liability of $nil (31 December 2023: $833m).

During the quarter ended 31 December 2024, there have been no changes to the Company's solicited long term credit ratings. Moody's credit rating were long term: A2; short term: P-1. Standard and Poor's credit ratings were long term: A+; short term: A-1.

Note 4: Financial Instruments

As detailed in the Group's most recent annual financial statements, the principal financial instruments consist of derivative financial instruments, other investments, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, lease liabilities and interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

The Group has certain equity investments that are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy that are held at $353m (31 December 2023: $313m) and for which a fair value loss of $9m has been recognised in the twelve months ended 31 December 2024 (FY 2023: gains of $17m). In the absence of specific market data, these unlisted investments are held at fair value based on the cost of investment and adjusted as necessary for impairments and revaluations on new funding rounds, which are seen to approximate the fair value. All other fair value gains and/or losses that are presented in Net gains on equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, in the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the twelve months ended 31 December 2024, are Level 1 fair value measurements, valued based on quoted prices in active markets.

Financial instruments measured at fair value include $1,669m of other investments, $4,177m held in money-market funds and $71m of derivatives as at 31 December 2024. With the exception of derivatives being Level 2 fair valued, and certain equity instruments of $353m categorised as Level 3, the aforementioned balances are Level 1 fair valued. Financial instruments measured at amortised cost include $129m of cash collateral pledged to counterparties. The total fair value of Interest-bearing loans and borrowings as at 31 December 2024, which have a carrying value of $30,295m in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position, was $29,179m.

Table24: Financial instruments - contingent consideration

Contingent consideration arising from business combinations is fair valued using decision-tree analysis, with key inputs including the probability of success, consideration of potential delays and the expected levels of future revenues.

The contingent consideration balance relating to BMS's share of the global diabetes alliance of $1,309m (31 December 2023: $1,945m) would increase/decrease by $131m with an increase/decrease in sales of 10%, as compared with the current estimates.

Note 5: Business combinations

Gracell

On 22 February 2024, AstraZeneca completed the acquisition of Gracell Biotechnologies Inc. (Gracell), a global clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative cell therapies for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.

The purchase price allocation review has been completed with no changes to the amounts reported in the H1 and Q2 2024 results announcement. The transaction is recorded as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'.

The total consideration fair value of $1,037m includes cash consideration of $983m and future regulatory milestone-based consideration of $54m. Intangible assets recognised relate to products in development, principally AZD0120. Goodwill of $136m has been recognised. Gracell's results have been consolidated into the Group's results from 22 February 2024.

Fusion

On 4 June 2024, AstraZeneca completed the acquisition of Fusion Pharmaceuticals Inc., (Fusion) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing next-generation radioconjugates.

The purchase price allocation review has been completed with no changes to the amounts reported in the H1 and Q2 2024 results announcement. The transaction is recorded as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3 'Business Combinations'.

The total consideration fair value of $2,195m includes cash consideration of $2,051m and future regulatory milestone-based consideration of $144m. Intangible assets relating to products in development comprise the FPI-2265 ($848m), FPI-2059 ($165m) and AZD2068 ($313m) programmes. Goodwill of $947m has been recognised. Fusion's results have been consolidated into the Group's results from 4 June 2024.

In December 2024, the intangible asset relating to the product in development, FPI-2059, was fully impaired by $165m due to portfolio prioritisation decisions. Development of FPI-2265 and AZD2068 are still ongoing and continue to be a priority.

Note 6: Legal proceedings and contingent liabilities

AstraZeneca is involved in various legal proceedings considered typical to its business, including litigation and investigations, including Government investigations, relating to product liability, commercial disputes, infringement of intellectual property (IP) rights, the validity of certain patents, anti-trust law and sales and marketing practices. The matters discussed below constitute the more significant developments since publication of the disclosures concerning legal proceedings in the Company's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2023, the H1 2024 and the Q3 2024 results announcements (the Disclosures). Information about the nature and facts of the cases is disclosed in accordance with IAS 37.

As discussed in the Disclosures, the majority of claims involve highly complex issues. Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and/or an estimate of the amount of any loss is difficult to ascertain.

In cases that have been settled or adjudicated, or where quantifiable fines and penalties have been assessed and which are not subject to appeal, or where a loss is probable and we are able to make a reasonable estimate of the loss, AstraZeneca records the loss absorbed or makes a provision for its best estimate of the expected loss. The position could change over time and the estimates that the Company made, and upon which the Company have relied in calculating these provisions are inherently imprecise. There can, therefore, be no assurance that any losses that result from the outcome of any legal proceedings will not exceed the amount of the provisions that have been booked in the accounts. The major factors causing this uncertainty are described more fully in the Disclosures and herein.

AstraZeneca has full confidence in, and will vigorously defend and enforce, its IP.

Matters disclosed in respect of the fourth quarter of 2024 and to 6 February 2025

Table 25: Patent litigation

Legal proceedings brought against AstraZeneca

Soliris patent proceedings, Turkey Considered to be a contingent liability * In November 2024, Salute HC İlalarõ Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş (Salute) served an action in the Industrial and Intellectual Property Rights Court in Istanbul, Turkey seeking to invalidate and enjoin enforcement of Alexion's patent relating to eculizumab.  

Legal proceedings brought by AstraZeneca

Calquence patent proceedings, US Considered to be a contingent asset	* In February 2022, in response to Paragraph IV notices from multiple ANDA filers, AstraZeneca filed patent infringement lawsuits in the US District Court for the District of Delaware (District Court). In its complaints, AstraZeneca alleged that a generic version of Calquence capsules, if approved and marketed, would infringe patents that are owned or licensed by AstraZeneca. * In 2024, AstraZeneca entered into settlement agreements with all five generic manufacturers, resolving the Calquence capsule ANDA litigation proceedings. * AstraZeneca received Paragraph IV notices relating to patents listed in the FDA Orange Book with reference to Calquence tablets from Cipla USA, Inc. and Cipla Limited (collectively, Cipla) in April 2024 and from MSN Pharmaceuticals Inc. and MSN Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. (collectively, MSN) in November 2024.   * In response to these Paragraph IV notices, AstraZeneca filed patent infringement lawsuits against Cipla in May 2024 and against MSN in January 2025 in the District Court. In the complaints, AstraZeneca alleges that a generic version of Calquence tablets, if approved and marketed, would infringe patents that are owned or licensed by AstraZeneca. No trial date has been scheduled.
Lynparza patent proceedings, US Considered to be a contingent asset	* AstraZeneca received a Paragraph IV notice relating to Lynparza patents from Natco Pharma Limited (Natco) in December 2022, Sandoz Inc. (Sandoz) in December 2023, Cipla USA, Inc. and Cipla Limited (collectively, Cipla) in May 2024, and Zydus Pharmaceuticals (USA) Inc. (Zydus) in November 2024. In response to these Paragraph IV notices, AstraZeneca, MSD International Business GmbH, and the University of Sheffield initiated ANDA litigations against Natco, Sandoz, Cipla, and Zydus in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey. In the complaints, AstraZeneca alleged that the defendants' generic versions of Lynparza, if approved and marketed, would infringe AstraZeneca's patents. * No trial date has been scheduled.
Soliris patent proceedings, Europe Considered to be a contingent asset	* In March 2024, Alexion filed motions for provisional measures against Amgen Pharmaceuticals Inc (Amgen) and Samsung Bioepis Co. Ltd. (Samsung) and their respective affiliates at the Hamburg Local Division of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) on the basis that Amgen's and Samsung's biosimilar eculizumab products infringe an Alexion patent. Alexion appealed and in December 2024 the UPC appellate division denied Alexion's appeal requesting provisional measures. * In parallel, Samsung and Amgen have filed oppositions to the patent at the European Patent Office. * In November 2024, Amgen filed a revocation action for the patent at the UPC Central Division in Milan.
Tagrisso patent proceedings, Russia  Considered to be a contingent asset	* In Russia, in August 2023, AstraZeneca filed lawsuits in the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region (Court) against the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and Axelpharm LLC (Axelpharm) related to Axelpharm's improper use of AstraZeneca's information to obtain authorisation to market a generic version of Tagrisso. In December 2023, the Court dismissed the lawsuit against the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The appellate court affirmed the dismissal in March 2024. AstraZeneca filed a further appeal, which was dismissed in July 2024. The lawsuit against Axelpharm was dismissed in September 2024, and AstraZeneca appealed. * In November 2023, Axelpharm filed a compulsory licensing action against AstraZeneca in the Court related to a patent that covers Tagrisso. The compulsory licensing action remains pending. AstraZeneca has also challenged before the Russian Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) the validity of the Axelpharm patent on which the compulsory licensing action is predicated. In August 2024, the PTO determined that Axelpharm's patent is invalid and, in November 2024, Axelpharm filed an appeal.   * In July 2024, AstraZeneca filed a patent infringement lawsuit, which remains pending, and an unfair competition claim with the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service of Russia (FAS) against AxelPharm and others related to the securing of state contracts in Russia for its generic version of Osimertinib.   * In August 2024, the FAS initiated an unfair competition case against Axelpharm and OncoTarget based on AstraZeneca's unfair competition claim. * In November 2024, the FAS determined that Axelpharm had committed unfair competition and that OncoTarget had not; the FAS ordered Axelpharm to cease sales of its generic osimertinib and pay the Russian government the income it received from its sales of its generic Osimertinib. In December 2024, Axelpharm appealed.

Most of the lawsuits alleged kidney injury. * In addition, AstraZeneca has been defending lawsuits involving allegations of gastric cancer following treatment with PPIs, including one such claim in the US District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana (District Court).  * In October 2023, AstraZeneca resolved all pending claims in the MDL, as well as all pending claims in Delaware and New Jersey state courts, for $425m, for which a provision has been taken. * In December 2024, AstraZeneca resolved the sole remaining case, which had been pending in the District Court.

Table 27: Commercial litigation

Legal proceedings brought against AstraZeneca

Securities Litigation, US   Considered to be a contingent liability      * In December 2024, a putative securities class action lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the Central District of California against AstraZeneca PLC and certain officers, on behalf of purchasers of AstraZeneca publicly traded securities between February 2022 and December 2024. The complaint alleges that defendants made materially false and misleading statements in connection with the Company's business in China.

Table 28: Government investigations and proceedings

Legal proceedings brought against AstraZeneca

Shenzhen City Customs Office Considered to be a contingent liability * In relation to the illegal drug importation allegations, in January 2025, AstraZeneca received a Notice of Transfer to the Prosecutor and an Appraisal Opinion from the Shenzhen City Customs Office regarding suspected unpaid importation taxes amounting to $0.9m. * To the best of AstraZeneca's knowledge, the importation taxes referred to in the Appraisal Opinion relate to Imfinzi and Imjudo. * A fine of between one and five times the amount of unpaid importation taxes may also be levied if AstraZeneca is found liable.

Legal proceedings brought by AstraZeneca

340B State Litigation, US     Considered to be a contingent asset  * AstraZeneca has filed lawsuits against Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, and West Virginia challenging the constitutionality of each state's 340B statute.   * In the Arkansas matter, trial is scheduled for April 2025. In the Arkansas administrative proceeding, the state has moved for a preliminary injunction to enjoin AstraZeneca's 340B policy in Arkansas.  * In the Kansas matter, after obtaining a stipulation from the state that AstraZeneca's policy does not violate the Kansas 340B statute, AstraZeneca agreed to dismiss its complaint.  * In the Louisiana matter, the Court granted the state's motion for summary judgment.  AstraZeneca has filed an appeal.   * In the Maryland, Minnesota, and Missouri matters, the state has moved to dismiss AstraZeneca's complaint.  * In the Maryland and Mississippi matters, the Court has rejected AstraZeneca's preliminary injunction motion.  * The West Virginia matter remains in its preliminary stages. 

Other

Additional government inquiries

As is true for most, if not all, major prescription pharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca is currently involved in multiple inquiries into drug marketing and pricing practices. In addition to the investigations described above, various law enforcement offices have, from time to time, requested information from the Group. There have been no material developments in those matters.

Cautionary statements regarding forward-looking statements

In order, among other things, to utilise the 'safe harbour' provisions of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, AstraZeneca (hereafter 'the Group') provides the following cautionary statement:

This document contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the operations, performance and financial condition of the Group, including, among other things, statements about expected revenues, margins, earnings per share or other financial or other measures. Although the Group believes its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any forward-looking statements, by their very nature, involve risks and uncertainties and may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those predicted. The forward-looking statements reflect knowledge and information available at the date of preparation of this document and the Group undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. The Group identifies the forward-looking statements by using the words 'anticipates', 'believes', 'expects', 'intends' and similar expressions in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, certain of which are beyond the Group's control, include, among other things:

‒    the risk of failure or delay in delivery of pipeline or launch of new medicines;

‒    the risk of failure to meet regulatory or ethical requirements for medicine development or approval;

‒    the risk of failures or delays in the quality or execution of the Group's commercial strategies;

‒    the risk of pricing, affordability, access and competitive pressures;

‒    the risk of failure to maintain supply of compliant, quality medicines;

‒    the risk of illegal trade in the Group's medicines;

‒    the impact of reliance on third-party goods and services;

‒    the risk of failure in information technology or cybersecurity;

‒    the risk of failure of critical processes;

‒    the risk of failure to collect and manage data and AI in line with legal and regulatory requirements and strategic objectives;

‒    the risk of failure to attract, develop, engage and retain a diverse, talented and capable workforce;

‒    the risk of failure to meet our sustainability targets, regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations with respect to the environment;

‒    the risk of the safety and efficacy of marketed medicines being questioned;

‒    the risk of adverse outcome of litigation and/or governmental investigations;

‒    intellectual property risks related to the Group's products;

‒    the risk of failure to achieve strategic plans or meet targets or expectations;

‒    the risk of geopolitical and/or macroeconomic volatility disrupting the operation of our global business;

‒    the risk of failure in internal control, financial reporting or the occurrence of fraud;

‒    the risk of unexpected deterioration in the Group's financial position;

‒    the risk of foreign exchange rate movements impacting our financial condition or results of operations; and

‒    the impact that global and/or geopolitical events may have or continue to have on these risks, on the Group's ability to continue to mitigate these risks, and on the Group's operations, financial results or financial condition.

[1] Constant exchange rates. The differences between Actual Change and CER Change are due to foreign exchange movements between periods in 2024 vs. 2023. CER financial measures are not accounted for according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) because they remove the effects of currency movements from Reported results.

[2] Core financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain items. The differences between Reported and Core measures are primarily due to costs relating to the amortisation of intangibles, impairments, legal settlements and restructuring charges. A full reconciliation between Reported EPS and Core EPS is provided in Table 11 and Table 12 in the Financial performance section of this document.

[3]  In FY 2024, capital expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangibles amounted to $2,218m

[4] In Table 2, the plus and minus symbols denote the directional impact of the item being discussed, e.g. a Ô+Õ symbol next to a comment related to the R&D expense indicates that the item resulted in an increase in the R&D spend relative to the prior year.

[5] Income from disposals of assets and businesses, where the Group does not retain a significant ongoing economic interest, continue to be recorded in Other operating income and expense in the GroupÕs financial statements.

[6] The presentation of Table 4 has been updated to show Total Revenue by medicine, by including Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue within each revenue figure. Previously, this table showed Product Sales for each medicine and therapy area, and the CompanyÕs total Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue were shown as separate lines at the bottom of the table.

[7] ÔStock compensationÕ encourages distributors to maintain steady inventory levels ahead of the date of a price reduction. After the price reduction takes effect, the supplier compensates the distributor for the reduction in the resale value of their inventory

[8] The presentation of this table has been updated by removing the "Acquisition of Alexion" column due to immateriality of items in this category

[9] Based on best prevailing assumptions around currency profiles.

[10] Based on average daily spot rates 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024.

[11] Based on average daily spot rates 1 Jan 2025 to 31 Jan 2025.

[12] Based on average daily spot rates on Jan 31 2025.

[13] Other currencies include AUD, BRL, CAD, KRW and RUB.

[14] The table provides an analysis of year-on-year Product Sales, with Actual and CER growth rates reflecting year-on-year growth. Due to rounding, the sum of a number of dollar values and percentages may not agree to totals.

[15] The table provides an analysis of year-on-year Product Sales, with Actual and CER growth rates reflecting year-on-year growth. Due to rounding, the sum of a number of dollar values and percentages may not agree to totals.

[16] The ex-dividend dates shown in the table are for ordinary shares listed on the London Stock Exchange; the ex-dividend dates are one day sooner for ordinary shares listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange and for American Depository Receipts listed on NASDAQ.

[17] Provisional dates, subject to Board approval.
