1. Business performance review1

1.1. Key highlights

In the first six months of 2025, revenue increased to € 3 487 million and went up by 25% (+26% at constant exchange rates (CER)).

Net sales were driven up by strong growth from the continued launches of the five growth drivers: BIMZELX®, RYSTIGGO® and ZILBRYSQ®, EVENITY® and FINTEPLA®. Hence, net sales went up to € 3 321 million by 26% (+27% CER). Adjusted for product sale of two established brands in Europe and selected international countries as well as divestments of the neurology and allergy portfolio in China in November 2024, the growth rate was 31% or 32% CER.

  • Adjusted EBITDA reached € 1 033 million (+58%; +61% CER), reflecting the higher revenue, an improved gross margin, higher operating expenses due to the launch investments as well as higher other operating income. The adjusted EBITDA ratio for the first six months of 2025 (in % of revenue) reached 29.6%.
  • Profit increased to € 475 million from € 208 million (>100%; >100% CER).
  • Core earnings per share reached € 3.53 from € 2.09 in the first half of 2024.

Adjusted gross profit is the gross profit without the amortization of intangible assets linked to sales.

Restructuring, impairment and other

income/expenses (-): Transactions and decisions of a one-time nature that affect UCB's results are shown separately ("restructuring, impairment and other income/expenses" items).

Besides EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes or operating profit), a line for "adjusted EBIT" (underlying operating profit), reflecting the ongoing profitability of the company's biopharmaceutical activities, is included. The adjusted EBIT is equal to the line "operating profit before impairment,

restructuring and other income and expenses" reported in the consolidated financial statements.

Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization charges) is the operating profit adjusted for amortization, depreciation, impairment charges, restructuring expenses and other income and expenses.

Core EPS is the core profit, or the profit attributable to the UCB shareholders, adjusted for the after-tax impact of restructuring, impairment, other income/expense items, the financial one-offs and the after-tax amortization of intangibles linked to sales, per non-dilutive weighted average number of shares.

1.2. Key events

There were several key events that have affected or will affect UCB financially:

Macroeconomic

UCB operates in a global environment shaped by increasing geopolitical tensions, persistent trade uncertainties, and sector-specific headwinds. Since the beginning of 2025, the global macroeconomic outlook has remained complex, with renewed focus on U.S. trade policy and pricing uncertainties creating additional uncertainty for internationally active industries, including the pharmaceutical sector. Broader economic indicators such as growth, inflation, and labor markets continue to diverge across regions. In the United States, inflationary pressures have remained more resilient than expected, reinforcing a higher-for-longer interest rate narrative. Conversely,

Geopolitical Environment

The ongoing geopolitical instability, including the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, continues to contribute to a volatile global environment. These developments have heightened supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, and energy market volatility. While UCB has limited direct exposure to

Important agreements and initiatives

In January 2025, UCB entered into a license agreement on XtalFold™, a biologics AI platform developed by Ailux Biologics, a division of XtalPi. UCB will leverage XtalFold™ for the discovery and engineering of biologics. XtalFold™ is a proprietary AI-based software suite that provides rapid and accurate structural insights to accelerate biologics innovation across multiple phases.

In May 2025, UCB and Domino Data Lab, provider of a leading data science platform trusted by the world's the European Central Bank (ECB) has begun to cautiously reduce interest rates amid signs of slowing inflation and economic softness in the eurozone.

This divergence in monetary policy, combined with shifting regulatory and trade dynamics, contributes to an increasingly uneven and volatile operating environment for global healthcare companies. UCB continues to closely monitor the potential impact of any forthcoming measures. Should such measures be confirmed and formally implemented, UCB will assess and disclose any related financial implications as appropriate.

these regions in terms of commercial footprint, we remain vigilant in monitoring impacts. Our focus remains on safeguarding uninterrupted access to medicines for patients while protecting the long-term stability of our business.

largest enterprises, announced a strategic collaboration aimed at modernizing a Statistical Computing Environment (SCE) for the life sciences industry.

In June 2025, UCB announced plans for a significant investment in a new, state-of-the-art biologics manufacturing facility in the United States. The project is expected to serve UCB's growing number of patients in the U.S., while delivering a total estimated economic impact of approximately US\$5 billion. UCB

has also confirmed it is continuing to scale up its partnerships with U.S. Contract Manufacturing

Regulatory and Pipeline Update

UCB remains committed to innovation, continuously seeking new ways to deliver meaningful solutions for people living with severe immunological and neurological conditions. This commitment is reflected in its robust clinical development pipeline, which currently includes one post-approval (Phase 4) asset, one asset under regulatory review, and a diversified portfolio of four Phase 3 and four Phase 2 projects targeting distinct patient populations.

Also, UCB has initiated three global Phase 3 studies for bimekizumab in pediatric indications: psoriasis,

modifying therapy. In the full study population, the primary endpoint was not met, however in key secondary endpoints bepranemab showed positive results. In pre-defined patient subgroups, consistent treatment benefit was shown across multiple primary and secondary outcome measures. UCB is engaging with regulatory agencies to define the development strategy for bepranemab in AD.

UCB reported positive and convincing proof-ofconcept data for galvokimig in atopic dermatitis. Galvokimig is a multispecific antibody based therapeutic that inhibits IL-13, IL-17A and IL-17F with

Development Phase 3 and beyond

In February 2025, the regulatory submissions of doxecitine and doxribtimine in thymidine Kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d) were accepted for review by the European and U.S. authorities. UCB expects regulatory feedback and potential first approvals by the end of 2025.

UCB has initiated a global phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab in pediatric patients with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The study includes children aged 9 years and older, as well as adolescents aged 12 to under 18 years. Pediatric HS represents a significant unmet need, with approximately one-third of all cases occurring in this population and nearly half of patients reporting symptom onset during childhood. Timelines for the first headline results are expected to be further clarified by the end of 2025 as enrollment advances.

UCB has initiated a global Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab versus ustekinumab in pediatric patients with psoriasis. The study includes participants aged 6 to under 18 years. Psoriasis often starts in childhood, with about one‐ third of cases beginning during this time. Its prevalence steadily increases from the ages of 1 to 18 years in a linear fashion. Timelines for the first headline results are expected to be further clarified by the end of 2025 as enrollment advances.

UCB has initiated a global Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab in patients aged 2 to under 18 years with juvenile psoriatic arthritis and enthesitis-related arthritis—two rare subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

an extended half-life through albumin binding. The data will be presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) in September 2025. Building on this strong positive outcome, UCB is planning to advance galvokimig into a Phase 2b clinical study in atopic dermatitis.

UCB reports positive phase 2a study for glovadalen (UCB0022), an orally available, brain-penetrant, small molecule under investigation for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. The data will be presented at an upcoming scientific meeting. UCB is evaluating the next steps in the development program.

Timelines for the first headline results are expected to be further clarified by the end of 2025 as enrollment advances.

UCB plans to start a Phase 3 program, BE SEEN, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab in Palmoplantar Pustulosis (PPP). PPP is a chronic inflammatory dermatological without any approved treatment options in the US, EU, and China. UCB plans to start the program before the end of 2025.

In June 2025, UCB announced positive results from the GEMZ phase 3 study of fenfluramine in CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD). CDD is an ultra-rare developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) with refractory infantile-onset epilepsy and severe global neurodevelopmental delays resulting in intellectual, motor, cortical visual, and sleep impairments as major features. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the Cyclin Dependent Kinaselike 5 (CDKL5) gene located on the X chromosome. It is estimated that CDD affects approximately 1 in 40,000 to 60,000 live births, with a median age of onset of six weeks. UCB plans to submit for regulatory approval to bring this potential treatment option to people living with CDD as soon as possible.

UCB has decided to initiate a phase 3 program with fenfluramine for patients with Rett-syndrome, expanding our reach beyond epilepsy. RETT is a severe (genetic) neurodevelopmental disorder that occurs predominantly in females. The start of the program is planned for H1 2026.

All other clinical programs are advancing as planned.

1.3. Net sales by product

Total net sales in the first six months of 2025 went up to € 3 321 million, a plus of 26% compared to last year or plus 27% at constant exchange rates (CER). Net sales before "designated hedges reclassified to net sales" were up by 26%. Adjusted for product sale of two established brands in Europe and selected

international countries as well as divestments of the neurology and allergy portfolio in China in November 2024, the growth rate was 31% or 32% CER. This was driven by the strong growth from the continued

launches of BIMZELX®, RYSTIGGO® and ZILBRYSQ®, EVENITY® and FINTEPLA®, supported by the continued double-digit growth of BRIVIACT® and the solid performance of CIMZIA®.

UCB'S FIVE GROWTH DRIVERS

BIMZELX® (bimekizumab) is the first and only IL-17A & IL-17F inhibitor and shows strong launches in all regions with net sales reaching € 799 million after € 215 million in the first half of 2024. BIMZELX® is now available in 50 countries around the globe, across five indications: psoriasis (PSO), active psoriatic arthritis (PSA), active ankylosing spondylitis (AS), active nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). The triple-digit growth is driven by strong demand in all indications coupled with significantly higher paid scripts in the U.S., with PSO representing 61% of the global BIMZELX® net sales. HS, a highly underdiagnosed condition with significant unmet medical need, has quickly become the second largest indication due to higher-thanexpected demand, particularly in the U.S.

UCB is the first and only company offering a differentiated portfolio of targeted therapies in generalized myasthenia gravis, positioned to meet diverse patient needs and adapt to evolving treatment dynamics:

RYSTIGGO® (rozanolixizumab), a new treatment option for people living with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) providing rapid and durable efficacy. In the first six months 2025, net sales amounted to € 146 million, a plus of 89% (+90% CER).

ZILBRYSQ® (zilucoplan), the first and only once-daily subcutaneous, targeted C5 complement inhibitor for people living with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) reached net sales of € 93 million after €15 million in the first half of 2024.

EVENITY® (romosozumab) for the treatment of severe osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk of fracture, the only sclerostin-inhibitor and leader in bone builder markets, reported net sales in Europe of € 63 million (+36%, +36% CER). EVENITY® is being brought to people living with osteoporosis globally by Amgen, Astellas and UCB, with net sales outside Europe reported by the partners. The worldwide net earnings contribution from EVENITY® is recognized under 'other operating income'.

FINTEPLA® (fenfluramine) for the treatment of seizures associated with rare epileptic syndromes, offering a foundational therapy in Dravet syndrome and a recognized option in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, reached net sales of € 203 million, a plus of 32% (+33% CER).

UCB'S OTHER CORE PRODUCTS

CIMZIA® (certolizumab pegol), for people living with inflammatory TNF mediated diseases, reported net sales of € 959 million (-4%; -2% CER). The performance in the U.S. is driven by one-off buying pattern and channel mix and is not expected to recur at the same pace in the second half of the year. The unique Fc-free molecular structure of CIMZIA® drives personalized treatment for two targeted populations: women of childbearing age across indications and rheumatoid arthritis patients with high rheumatoid factor levels. The volume growth of +7% was more than compensated by net price decline. CIMZIA® is no longer patent protected in the U.S. since February 2024 and the EU since October 2024, respectively; patent protection in Japan will expire in 2026. There is no biosimilar competition, neither today nor expected near-term.

BRIVIACT® (brivaracetam), available for people living with epilepsy, reached higher net sales of € 377 million, a plus of 15% (+16% CER). This is driven by continued, significant growth in all regions in which BRIVIACT® is available to patients, including Japan since June 2024. BRIVIACT® has a different mode of action from VIMPAT® and differentiates from KEPPRA®.

KEPPRA® (levetiracetam), available for patients living with epilepsy, reported lower net sales of € 221 million (-29%; -27% CER), reflecting the strategic divestment of the neurology (and allergy) portfolio in China in November 2024. Adjusted for this divestiture, the global net sales of KEPPRA® were down by 13%, due to generic competition. The loss of exclusivity in the U.S. and Europe occurred more than 10 years ago. KEPPRA® is an important drug for the treatment of epilepsy, touching and having touched the lives of millions of people living with epilepsy.

VIMPAT® (lacosamide), for people living with epilepsy, net sales went up to € 178 million (+3%; +4% CER). This was driven by positive one-off in the first half 2025, not expected to recur in the second half and offset supported by double-digit growth in Japan, partly compensated by generic competition in Europe and the divestiture in China. VIMPAT® is exposed to generic competition since March 2022 in the U.S. and the EU since September 2022, respectively. The loss of exclusivity in Japan occurred in July 2024 with generic entries expected in December 2025.

NAYZILAM® (midazolam) Nasal SprayCIV, the nasal rescue treatment for epilepsy seizure clusters reached net sales of € 59 million in the U.S., a plus of 11% (+12% CER).

UCB'S ESTABLISHED BRANDS

The net sales of the established brands which include NEUPRO® (rotigotine), the patch for Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome and UCB's allergy product portfolio with ZYRTEC® (cetirizine, including ZYRTEC®-D/Cirrus®) and XYZAL® (levocetirizine) reached € 212 million after € 268 million, reflecting the sale of two established brands in November 2024 and the strategic divestiture of the neurology and allergy portfolio in China in November 2024.

Designated and unallocated hedges reclassified to net sales were positive with € 9 million (positive with € 8 million in first half 2024) reflecting UCB's realized These are mainly related to the U.S. Dollar, the Japanese Yen, the British Pound and the Swiss Franc.

transactional hedging activities recognized in the "net sales" line according to IFRS.

1.4. Net sales by geographical area

U.S. net sales went up to € 1 994 million (+44%; +46% CER) mainly driven by the stellar launch of BIMZELX® in all indications approved in the U.S. This was also supported by the successful launches of RYSTIGGO® and ZILBRYSQ® as well as FINTEPLA® and the continued double-digit growth for BRIVIACT®. CIMZIA® showed good volume growth (+8%) against the declining anti-TNF market, which was more than offset by price decline.

Net sales in Europe increased to € 857 million (+12%; +12% CER) driven by the strong growth of BIMZELX®, RYSTIGGO® and ZILBRYSQ®, FINTEPLA® and EVENITY®, supported by double digit growth for BRIVIACT® and complemented by almost stable CIMZIA® net sales.

Net sales in Japan went up to € 147 million, showing an increase by 21% (+19% CER). This growth was driven by the growth drivers BIMZELX®, RYSTIGGO® and ZILBRYSQ® and FINTEPLA®, supported by the newly launched BRIVIACT®. While VIMPAT® is still growing double-digit (generic competition is expected in December 2025), E KEPPRA® is reporting a decline due to generic competition with the newly introduced "Elective Care Scheme" accelerating further generic erosion. In April 2025, the copromotion for CIMZIA® with the Japanese partner ended and UCB started the solo distribution & promotion. Due to high inventory levels this will only impact the second half of the year.

International markets net sales reached € 313 million (-15%; -9% CER), which is reflecting the strategic divestiture of the neurology and allergy portfolio in China in November 2024. Adjusted for this divestiture, net sales in China went from € 2 million in the first six months 2024 to € 9 million, driven by CIMZIA® and BIMZELX®.

CIMZIA® is the biggest product in the international markets, while BIMZELX® and FINTEPLA® have been successfully launched in several markets.

Designated and unallocated hedges reclassified to net sales were positive with € 9 million (positive with

€ 8 million in the first half 2024) reflecting UCB's realized transactional hedging activities recognized in the "net sales" line according to IFRS.

These are mainly related to the U.S. Dollar, the Japanese Yen, the British Pound and the Swiss Franc.

In the first six months 2025, the adjusted gross profit (before amortization of intangible assets linked to sales) was € 2 761 million or +28% (+30% CER), showing a better performance than the topline, thanks to the improved product mix driven by the new launches. The adjusted gross margin improved to 79% after 77%.

The gross profit after amortization of intangible assets linked to sales reached € 2 565 million - a plus of 32% (+34% CER) The corresponding gross margin improved to 74% after 70%.

Cost of sales have three components: the cost of sales for products and services, royalty expenses, and the amortization of intangible assets linked to sales.

The cost of sales for products and services increased by 16% (+16% CER) to € 676 million. This is an increase at a slower pace than the topline and reflects the improved product mix.

Royalty expenses went down to € 50 million after € 56 million, also due to the different product mix.

Amortization of intangible assets linked to sales: Under IFRS 3, UCB has reflected on its statement of financial position a significant amount of intangible assets relating to the Ra Pharma (2020) and the Zogenix (2022) acquisition (in-process research and development, manufacturing know-how, royalty streams, trade names, etc.).

The amortization expenses of the intangible assets for which products have already been launched were € 196 million, after € 212 million.

Driven by the continued growth, operating expenses increased by 15% to € 1 845 million – growing at a slower pace than the topline.

This reflects significantly higher marketing and selling expenses, increased research and development expenses, decreased general and administrative expenses and a higher other operating income.

In the first six months of 2024, the accounting effect of long-term incentives (LTI), driven by the strong 2024 share price performance, impacted the different operating expenses and increased the total operating expenses by € 29 million or 1.8% of the total operating expenses. This effect did not recur in the first 6 months of 2025.

In the first six months of 2025, total operating expenses in relation to revenue (operating expense ratio) improved to 53%, after 58% in the first six months of 2024 and consisted of:

23% higher marketing and selling expenses of € 1 165 million, reflecting continued focused and significant investments behind the global launches of UCB's growth drivers as well as higher fee-for-service expenses in U.S. which are directly linked to gross sales: Global BIMZELX® launch activities in up to five indications, global launch activities for RYSTIGGO® and ZILBRYSQ® in generalized myasthenia gravis, the ongoing global FINTEPLA® launches and the continued expansion of EVENITY® in Europe.

9% higher research and development expenses of € 860 million reflecting the continued investments in UCB's innovative clinical pipeline targeting different patient populations in clinical studies as well as ongoing earlier stage research activities. The R&D

ratio reached 25% in the first six months of 2025 due to strong revenue growth - after 28% in the first six months of 2024.

-7% lower general and administrative expenses of € 113 million, as expenses and additional resources for the new growth organization model implemented at UCB mid-2024 and the mentioned accounting effect of LTI did not recur.

18% higher net other operating income of € 293 million, driven by the net contribution from EVENITY® which went up by 24% to € 282 million. EVENITY® has been launched successfully globally by Amgen, Astellas and UCB with net sales outside Europe reported by the partners.

Higher revenue driven by the double-digit net sales growth, improved gross margin due to improved product mix, higher operating expenses driven by the strong investments behind the global launches combined with higher operating income due to the net earnings contribution for EVENITY and with good cost control led to significant higher adjusted EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) of € 720 million, up by >100% (>100% CER), compared to € 334 million for the first six months of 2024.

Total amortization of intangible assets (product related and other) went down to € 221 million, -6%. Depreciation charges reached € 92 million after € 83 million.

Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization charges) increased significantly to € 1 033 million after € 652 million (+58%; +61% CER), reflecting higher revenue driven by the strong growth, the improved gross margin, higher operating expenses due to the strong launch and higher R&D investments as well as a higher other operating income. The adjusted EBITDA ratio for the first six months of 2025 (in % of revenue) reached 29.6%, compared to the first six months of 2024 with 23.4%.

Net financial expenses remained closed to stable at € 78 million.

Income tax expense was € 118 million compared to € 38 million in June 2024. The average effective tax

UCB 2025 Half-Year Financial Report 13

rate was 20% compared to 16% in June 2024. The increase in the tax rate is primarily driven by the strong business performance of key entities, the tax impact of an internal reorganization, and the implementation of the international minimum tax. These effects are partially offset by the continued and sustainable use of R&D incentives.

The profit of the Group went up to € 475 million after € 208 million (>100%, >100% CER), driven by higher revenue thanks to the strong launch performances of the five growth drivers, improved gross margin, higher operating expenses due to the launch investments, continued investments behind UCB's innovative pipeline and higher other operating income as well as higher income tax expense. The full amount is attributable to UCB shareholders.

1.11. Statement of financial position

The intangible assets decreased by € 579 million from € 4 082 million on December 31, 2024 to € 3 503 million on June 30, 2025 mainly linked to the ongoing amortization of intangible assets (€ 221 million) and the impact from translation of foreign currencies, mainly USD.

Goodwill at € 5 093 million, down € - 369 million is related to currency rate changes, mainly USD.

Other non-current assets increased by € 255 million, driven by:

• an increase in deferred tax assets of € 175 million due to additional recognition of tax losses, offset with utilization of tax attributes and increased timing differences on commercial inventory;

This is leading to core earnings per share (Core EPS) of € 3.53, compared to € 2.09 in the first six months of 2024 per non-dilutive weighted average number of shares of 190 million after 190 million shares in the first six months 2024.

  • an increase of € 31 million in property, plant and equipment due to total acquisitions of plant and equipment amounting to € 154 million of which €30 million relates to right-ofuse assets, offset with the ongoing depreciation of the property, plant and equipment (€ -92 million) and effect on exchange rate (€ -30 million). The increase in acquisition mainly related to the biological production site in Belgium, the gene therapy site in Belgium and new campus site in the UK, revamping of office environment and acquisition of laboratory and other equipment.
  • an increase in financial and other assets of € 49 million mainly driven by higher outstanding derivatives.

The current assets increased from € 4 788 million as of December 31, 2024 to € 5 321 million as of June 30, 2025 and include higher receivables linked to the launched products, slightly higher inventory levels and cash levels.

UCB's shareholders' equity is at € 9 683 million, a decrease of € 346 million between December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025. The important changes stem from the net profit (€ 475 million) offset by dividend payments (€ - 264 million), currency translation impact (€ - 734 million), which is mainly due to weaker USD (€ -716 million), and the acquisition of own shares.

The non-current liabilities amounted to € 3 573 million, a decrease of € 216 million compared to December 31, 2024, due to the repayment of the USD 20 million Schuldscheindarlehen (SSD) transaction,

1.12. Cash flow statement

The evolution of cash flow generated by biopharmaceuticals activities is affected by the following:

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to € 711 million, compared to € 377 million end of June 2024 and stemming from underlying net profitability, offset with slightly higher working capital need linked to the product launches and the increased cash taxes linked to successful product launches in UCB key jurisdictions.

the impact of the weaker USD on outstanding borrowings and the decrease of the deferred income tax liabilities.

The current liabilities amount to € 3 931 million, up € 402 million. This increase includes higher outstanding rebates and income tax payables, partially offset with the lower outstanding trade and other payables.

The net debt at € 1 267 million as per end June 2025, a decrease of € 187 million compared to € 1 454 million as of end December 2024. The decrease is mainly related to strong cash flows from operations and favorable FX impact on outstanding debt offsetting the dividend paid to UCB shareholders and the acquisition of Treasury shares that took place in the first half of the year. The net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio is 0.7x as per June 30, 2025.

  • Cash flow from investing activities showed an outflow of € 166 million, compared to an outflow of € 170 million in June 2024 and includes mainly the acquisition of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, offset with proceeds from other investments.
  • Cash flow from financing activities has an outflow of € 508 million, which includes the dividend paid to UCB shareholders (€ - 264 million), the acquisition of treasury shares (€ - 121 million) and the interests paid (€ - 72 million).

1.13. Financial Guidance 2025 updated

The first half of 2025 was marked by continued strong growth driven by the five growth drivers BIMZELX®, RYSTIGGO®, ZILBRYSQ® and FINTEPLA®, as well as EVENITY® supported by the solid performance of BRIVIACT® and CIMZIA®.

Based on the continued strong growth outlook for 2025, UCB is now aiming for an increase of revenues to at least € 7 billion, considering the launch performances of the growth drivers and the continued solid contributions from the existing product portfolio.

UCB is continuing investments in launches around the globe to offer potential new solutions for people living

with severe diseases and remains committed to investing in research and development advancing its late-stage and early development pipeline. Underlying profitability, adjusted EBITDA, is expected at least at 30% of revenue. Core earnings per share are expected to be at least €7.25 per share – based on an average of 190 million shares outstanding.

The figures for the financial guidance 2025 as mentioned above are calculated on the same basis as the actual figures for 2024 – and are based on current rules and regulations.

should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is presented in Euro (€) and all values are rounded to the nearest million except where otherwise indicated.

3.3. Implications of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and conflicts in Middle East on the financial position, performance and cash flows of UCB

UCB is guided by its purpose of creating value for patients, now and into the future and its focus on contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable world. That's why UCB is driven to limit the impact of this war and conflicts on its employees, patients, and their respective communities.

There is no material direct or indirect impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions imposed or the conflicts in Middle East on the strategic orientation and targets, operations, financial performance, financial position and cash-flows of UCB group.

Revenues of UCB group have not been materially impacted. There have not been any major disruptions in the Group supply chains and/or uncertainties regarding production.

UCB is still providing essential medicines to patients in Russia but has moved to a distribution model and has stopped active promotion in the market.

No additional principal risks or uncertainties have been identified at group level as a result of this war or conflicts in Middle East and related events.

No significant risk of material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of UCB group has arisen.

There are no material judgements made or significant uncertainties relating to UCB's condensed consolidated financial statements as per June 30, 2025 as a consequence of this war or conflicts and there is no going concern risk for UCB Group.

There is no significant increase in credit risk and there is no material impact on the measurement of expected credit losses (ECL) taking into account forward-looking information. The sales in Russia are still covered by a credit insurance, and there are at this moment no concerns to collect the cash, however the cash levels are limited to a minimum at the

Russian subsidiaries. UCB has no subsidiaries or branches in the conflict areas in Middle East.

There is no significant amount of cash and cash equivalents balances that is not available for use by the Group. There is no significant exposure to liquidity and currency risk and no material impact on the related sensitivities with respect to UCB's investments affected by the war and conflicts in Middle East. There is no impact on UCB's hedge accounting relationships.

The war and conflicts have not had any major impact on the liquidity position of UCB group. The liquidity risk management strategy is still adequate and appropriate and has not changed.

UCB group has assessed that nor the direct nor the indirect effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine or of the conflicts in Middle East constitute an indication that one or more assets in the scope of IAS 36 may be impaired.

Disclosures relating to the sensitivity analyses as published in the annual consolidated financial

statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 don't require a material update.

As a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine or the sanctions imposed, there are no changes in facts and circumstances that may significantly limit UCB's ability to exercise its rights or governance provisions with respect to its Russian or Ukrainian subsidiary.

Currently, the expected future direct and/or indirect impacts of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions imposed as well as of the conflicts in Middle East on UCB's financial performance, financial position and cash-flows and related risks are assessed as not material, but UCB will continuously monitor for potential impacts.

UCB has not applied for and does not intend to apply for public support measures. UCB does not intend to materially change its risk hedging strategy to address any direct or indirect impacts of the war or the conflicts.

3.4. Impact of macroeconomic situation on the financial position, performance and cash-flows of UCB.

The Group continues to closely monitor the evolving macroeconomic environment, which remains characterized by persistent inflationary pressures and increased geopolitical uncertainty. In particular, recent policy developments in the United States, namely, the proposed imposition of pharmaceutical import tariffs and the introduction of a Most Favored Nation (MFN) pricing model, represent potential sources of financial and operational risk. While these measures have not yet been finalized or implemented, they may, if enacted, adversely affect the Group's revenue generation, cost structure, and pricing flexibility in the U.S. market. In anticipation of these developments, the Group has initiated strategic investments aimed at enhancing supply chain resilience, including the expansion of U.S.-based manufacturing capabilities.

3.5. Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

UCB has a subsidiary in Turkey, UCB Pharma A.S., with the functional currency being the Turkish lira which is the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy. The assets, liabilities, equity items, income and

In accordance with IAS 36, the Group has performed impairment testing on its goodwill and intangible assets. The value-in-use calculations are based on cash flow projections that reflect reasonable and supportable assumptions representing management's best estimate of the range of economic conditions expected to prevail over the remaining useful life of the assets, in line with IAS 36.33. While the Group has considered multiple macroeconomic and regulatory scenarios, the results of the impairment testing indicate that headroom remains sufficient across all tested scenarios. The Group continues to monitor developments closely and will update its assessments as necessary to reflect any material changes in the external environment.

expenses of UCB Pharma A.S. have not been restated in accordance with IAS 29 Hyper-inflation before being included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of UCB as per June 30, 2025 given that UCB has assessed the impact of the restatement as being immaterial. In accordance with UCB's accounting policies as disclosed in the 2024 Integrated Annual Report, assets and liabilities of UCB Pharma A.S. are translated at the rate as per June 30, 2025 (Closing rate TRY = 46.869). Income

and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate of June 2025 (Average rate TRY = 40.848).

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

A number of amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning January 1, 2025. However, the Group does not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amendments to the standards.

Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the Group

On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, 'Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements'. This is a standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to the structure of the

3.6. Estimates

The preparation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.

3.7. Financial risk management

Financial risk factors

The Group is exposed to various financial risks arising from its underlying operations and corporate finance activities. These financial risks mainly include market risk (including currency risk, interest risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. This condensed consolidated interim financial information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal circumstances without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group reputation.

statement of profit or loss, required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity's financial statements (that is, management defined performance measures); and enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general. This new standard will have an impact on the presentation of the consolidated income statement of the Group. UCB is currently assessing the impact.

On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). UCB is currently assessing the impact of these amendments.

There are no other standards or amendments to standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

In preparing this condensed consolidated interim financial information, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Compared to year end, there was no material change in the contractual undiscounted cash out flows for financial liabilities.

Fair value estimation

IFRS 7 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following hierarchy:

  • Level 1 Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 Other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly;
  • Level 3 Techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data.

All fair value measurements disclosed are recurring.

The following tables present the Groups financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and are grouped in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

During the interim period, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

Fair value measurements categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy are calculated using either the "Discounted cash flow" or the "Black-Scholes" method (for FX options only) and market data publicly available. There have not been any changes in valuation techniques compared to December 2024 (see Note 5.5 of the 2024 annual report).

On June 30, 2025 the Group's weighted average interest rate (excluding leases) was 3.79% (December 2024: 4.08%) prior to hedging. The floating interest rate payments are subject to designated cash flow hedges and fixed interest rate payments are subject to designated fair value hedges, thereby fixing the weighted average interest rate for

incentives granted to employees (€ 14 million) that are held in custody for the account of the relevant participants on a separate securities account of UCB and for which there is a corresponding liability which is recorded in Other Payables.

For the financial assets that are valued at amortized cost amounting to € 161 million as per June 30, 2025 (December 2024 : € 148 million), the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

the Executive Committee members and certain categories of employees.

On June 30, 2025, the Group did not hold any options on UCB shares and it did not sell or acquire any option on UCB shares.

Other reserves

Other reserves amounted to € 4 million (December 2024: € - 3 million). The movement is related to the re-measurement of the defined benefit obligation for € 7 million bringing total re-measurement value at € - 192 million (December 2024: € - 199 million).

Cumulative translation adjustments

The cumulative translation adjustments reserve represents the cumulative currency translation differences relating to the consolidation of Group companies that use functional currencies other than the euro as well as any cumulative foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from net investment hedges.

the Group at 3.95% (December 2024: 4.56%) post hedging.

Since the bank borrowings are at a floating interest rate that is reset minimally on a daily, up to on a semiannual basis, the carrying amount of the bank borrowings equates to its fair value. With respect to

the current borrowings, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values as the effect of discounting is considered to be insignificant.

On March 27, 2023, the Group entered into a € 1 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility with maturity date on March 27, 2028 (including the option to request further extensions of the maturity date by two additional years), replacing the € 1 billion facility maturing on January 9, 2025 and that was subsequently cancelled. Following the second extension request, in February 2025, the maturity date of commitments aggregating € 928 million under the revolving credit facility was extended to March 27, 2030. The remaining € 72 million remains committed until March 27, 2029.

In 2024, the Group fully repaid the bullet term loan facility agreement that it entered into in 2019 for the acquisition of Ra Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Incremental facilities established under this term loan facility however remain outstanding as per June 30, 2025, namely a € 90 million bullet term loan agreement (December 2024: € 90 million), established as a first incremental facility, drawn on October 3, 2022 and with maturity in 2029, another € 90 million bullet term loan agreement (December 2024: € 90 million), established as a second incremental facility, drawn on January 26, 2023 and with maturity in 2028, and finally a US\$ 80 million bullet term loan agreement, established as a third incremental facility, drawn on July 10, 2024 and with maturity in 2029.

Furthermore, as per June 30, 2025, \$ 600 million (December 2024: US\$ 600 million) remains outstanding under the bullet term loan facility agreement, maturing in 2027, that the Group entered into in 2022 to finance the Zogenix, Inc. acquisition.

US\$ 378 million is outstanding (December 2024: US\$ 378 million) under a € 350 million bilateral committed bullet term loan agreement, which was entered into in November 2021 and fully drawn on September 8, 2023 for an equivalent amount of US\$ 378 million. The maturity of this bilateral loan agreement is in 2031.

Furthermore, remain outstanding as per June 30, 2025 are the euro Schuldscheindarlehen (SSD) transactions that the Group entered into, respectively on November 2, 2022 as a multi-tranche transaction for an aggregate amount of € 144 million (December 2024: € 144 million) and on August 24, 2023 as a single transaction for an amount of € 30 million (2023: € 30 million). The US\$ 20 million SSD transaction that was entered into on November 2, 2022 and which was maturing in 2026 was voluntarily fully prepaid in February 2025.

The 4 553 165 shares held by UCB SA at dividend date are not entitled to a dividend. A total

dividend of € 264 million (2024: € 259 million) was distributed for the business year 2024 as approved by the UCB shareholders at their annual general meeting on April 24, 2025, and was reflected in the first half of 2025.

3.33. Commitments and contingencies

Events have taken place in the first half of the year 2025, leading to an update of the contingent assets or liabilities disclosed in the 2024 integrated annual report.

Capital and other commitments

At June 30, 2025, the Group has committed to spend € 200 million (end of 2024: € 181 million) mainly with respect to capital expenditures for Gene-Therapy plant, new campus site in the U.K., software, lab and other equipment.

UCB Group has entered into long-term development agreements with various pharmaceutical enterprises, universities and financial investors. Such collaboration agreements may include milestone payments, which are dependent on successful clinical development or on meeting specified sales targets. At June 30, 2025, the maximum amount that would be paid out within the coming half year if all future milestones are achieved but excluding variable royalty payments based on unit sales, and amounts accrued for milestones already achieved but not yet due, amounted to approximately € 96 million on an undiscounted and non-risk adjusted basis.

UCB has concluded several agreements with Contract Manufacturing Organizations for the supply of its products. Total outstanding commitments towards these CMOs amount to € 1 519 million as per June 30, 2025 until 2034. Additionally, UCB has an outstanding commitment for production capacity reservation of € 8 million as per June 30, 2025

As part of UCB's innovation strategy, UCB has established a corporate venture fund, UCB Ventures. Within this framework UCB has remaining investment commitments of € 27 million.

Guarantees

Guarantees arising in the normal course of business are not expected to result in any material financial loss.

Contingencies

The Group continues to be actively involved in litigations, claims and investigations. The ongoing matters could result in liabilities, civil and criminal penalties, loss of product exclusivity and other costs, fines and expenses associated with findings adverse to UCB's interests. Potential cash outflows reflected in a provision might be fully or partially off-set by insurance in certain circumstances. UCB has not established provisions for potential damage awards for certain additional legal claims against our

subsidiaries if UCB currently believes that a payment is either not probable or cannot be reliably estimated.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MATTERS (SELECTED MATTERS)

We vigorously protect our patent portfolio and our ability to bring medicines to patients as we deem necessary.

Consequently, UCB is involved in various litigation matters as a plaintiff in various jurisdictions in the U.S. and Europe.

NEUPRO®

United States

In response to a Paragraph IV certification from Aurobindo, in December 2024, UCB filed a lawsuit against Aurobindo to enforce a U.S. patent expiring in late 2027 and which covers an aspect of NEUPRO. Based on the statutory 30-month stay prior to FDA approval, Aurobindo will not be in a position to launch a generic version prior to May 2027.

NAYZILAM®

United States

In 2021, Cipla filed an ANDA challenging the validity of certain NAYZILAM patents. UCB filed a lawsuit against Cipla. Cipla has stipulated to infringement. The trial took place in October 2023. A ruling is expected in 2025.

In February 2025, in response to a Paragraph IV certification from Hikma Pharma, UCB filed a lawsuit against Hikma to enforce a U.S. patent, which covers an aspect of Nayzilam. Due to the statutory 30-month stay prior to FDA approval, Hikma will not be in a position to launch a generic version prior to August 2027.

EVENITY®

Germany

In 2023, OssiFi-Mab LLC filed a suit against UCB Pharma S.A., UCB Pharma GmbH (collectively, "UCB") and Amgen in Germany alleging EVENITY infringes the German part of a European patent. In defense, UCB and Amgen filed oppositions with the European Patent Office (EPO) to invalidate OssiFi-Mab's patent. In addition, UCB filed an action in The Netherlands to invalidate the Dutch part of OssiFi-Mab's patent. In October 2024, the Opposition Division of the EPO ruled in UCB's favor and revoked OssiFi-Mab's patent in its entirety. Thereafter, OssiFi-Mab withdrew its infringement claim in Germany.

OMAB appealed the Opposition Division's decision and the matter is still pending. The Court in The Netherlands stayed the nullity and infringement proceedings pending final resolution of OssiFi-Mab's appeal before the EPO.

PRODUCT LIABILITY MATTERS

Distilbène product liability litigation - France:

Entities of the UCB Group have been named as defendants in several product liability cases in France. The claimants in these actions claim their mothers took Distilbène, a former product of the UCB Group, during their pregnancy, and as a result they suffered bodily injuries. The Group has accounted for a provision (refer to Note 34 in the 2024 Annual Report).

INVESTIGATIONS

CIMZIA® Investigation

In March 2019, UCB, Inc. received a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and a subpoena from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) both seeking information relating to the sales and marketing practices and pricing of CIMZIA for the periods from

2011 and 2008, respectively, to date. UCB cooperated fully with DOJ and OIG. In March 2020, UCB was informed that DOJ was suspending the inquiry initiated by its office in Georgia.

GENERAL LITIGATION

340B Drug Pricing Program

In December 2021 (updated in 2023 and 2024), UCB implemented a 340B policy, which puts limits on certain covered entities' use of contract pharmacies while ensuring vulnerable and underserved patient populations still have access to UCB medicines.

In September 2022, UCB sued the federal agency that administers 340B, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). In September 2024, the Court ruled that UCB's 340B policy does not violate the statute.

In December 2024, UCB sued HRSA to challenge HRSA's certification (and recertification) of covered entity status of eight Sagebrush subdivisions. The lawsuit contends that these Sagebrush subdivisions were improperly certified by HRSA as 340B-eligible clinics, which allowed them to obtain significant price reductions on UCB's product. Amgen and Eli Lilly are co-plaintiffs in the case.

4. Statutory auditor's report on the review of the condensed consolidated interim financial information of UCB SA for the period ended June 30, 2025

Company number: BE0403.053.608

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information of UCB SA and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as of June 30, 2025, and for the period of six months ended on that date, which comprises the condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position, the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows, the condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity, the accounting policies, and a selection of explanatory notes.

The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the international standard ISRE (International Standard on Review Engagements) 2410 ″Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity″. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.

Important factors that could result in such differences include but are not limited to: global spread and impacts of wars, pandemics and terrorism, the general geopolitical environment, climate change, changes in general economic, business and competitive conditions, the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or to obtain them on acceptable terms or within expected timing, costs associated with research and development, changes in the prospects for products in the pipeline or under development by UCB, effects of future judicial decisions or governmental investigations, safety, quality, data integrity or manufacturing issues, supply chain disruption and business continuity risks; potential or actual data security and data privacy breaches, or disruptions of UCB's information technology systems, product liability claims, challenges to patent protection for products or product candidates, competition from other products including biosimilars or disruptive technologies/business models, changes in laws or regulations, exchange rate fluctuations, changes or uncertainties in laws and/or rules pertaining to tax and duties or the administration of such laws and/or rules, and hiring, retention and compliance of employees. There is no guarantee that new product candidates will be discovered or identified in the pipeline, or that new indications for existing products will be developed and approved. Movement from concept to commercial product is uncertain; preclinical results do not guarantee safety and efficacy of product candidates in humans. So far, the complexity of the human body cannot be reproduced in computer models, cell culture systems or animal models. The length of the timing to complete clinical trials and to get regulatory approval for product marketing has varied in the past and UCB expects similar unpredictability going forward. Products or potential products which are the subject of partnerships, joint ventures or licensing collaborations may be subject to disputes between the partners or may prove to be not as safe, effective or commercially successful as UCB may have believed at the start of such partnership. UCB's efforts to acquire other products or companies and to integrate the operations of such acquired companies may not be as successful as UCB may have believed at the moment of acquisition. Also, UCB or others could discover safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with its products and/or devices after they are marketed. The discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of UCB's products that implicate an entire class of products may have a material adverse effect on sales of the entire class of affected products. Moreover, sales may be impacted by international and domestic trends toward managed care and health care cost containment, including pricing pressure, political and public scrutiny, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, and the reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers as well as legislation affecting biopharmaceutical

pricing and reimbursement activities and outcomes. Finally, a breakdown, cyberattack or information security breach could compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of UCB's data and systems.

Given these uncertainties, the public is cautioned not to place any undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this document, and do not reflect any potential impacts from the evolving event or risk as mentioned above as well as any other adversity, unless indicated otherwise. The company continues to follow the development diligently to assess the financial significance of these events, as the case may be, to UCB.

UCB expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements in this document, either to confirm the actual results or to report or reflect any change in its forward-looking statements with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, unless such statement is required pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.
