Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Management’s Review

Dear Shareholder,

For 25 years, Genmab has pioneered antibody- based medicines to fundamentally transform the lives of people with cancer and other serious diseases. We take pride looking back at the great leaps we have made globally and within the foundations of Genmab; however, our focus remains steadfast on the future. Our progress has led us here: over 2,700 team members across five countries, eight antibody-based medicines having an impact on patients’ lives, and two wholly owned assets now in late- stage development.

Genmab’s Evolution

Founded in 1999, Genmab celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2024, and the year gave all of us at Genmab much to celebrate. Twenty-five years of scientific progress have had an impact on the lives of patients and have inspired us to continue on our path of becoming a fully integrated biotech. This year, Genmab successfully acquired ProfoundBio. In addition to gaining worldwide rights to three clinical candidates and novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) platforms, the acquisition is representative of our long-term growth potential. We welcomed talented new colleagues to our Research & Development (R&D) team, and accelerated the clinical development for Rina-S, a wholly owned asset now in Phase 3 clinical development.

Sustainability and social responsibility are fundamental to the way we work at Genmab. This Annual Report also marks the first year for Genmab incorporating our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) disclosures in compliance with the European Union’s (EU) Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Our first double materiality assessment (DMA) and its outcome supported the development of our first impacts, risks and opportunities that guided our future sustainability strategy. We remain committed to ensuring our actions benefit our stakeholders and society and that our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices are integrated as a core part of our business. In 2024, 800 Genmab employees completed 4,037 service hours to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families, our communities and the environment.

Experienced Leadership

Our future looks promising under our expanded leadership. In 2024, we had two additions to our Executive Committee: Rayne Waller as Chief Technical Operations Officer, and Brad Bailey as Chief Commercial Officer. Rayne Waller joined Genmab to further solidify and strengthen our technical operations.

and lead all the manufacturing and supply chain capabilities of our proprietary programs through preclinical, clinical and commercial stages. Brad Bailey, previously Genmab’s Senior Vice President and U.S. General Manager, expanded his role to lead the direction, planning, and execution of Genmab’s global commercial strategies as we expand beyond our two priority markets of the U.S. and Japan. These new additions strengthen our commitment to a bold future for our diverse and innovative mid- to late- stage clinical programs.

In 2024, our Board of Directors (Board) continued to provide governance, guidance, and dedicated leadership. Comprised of experts in their fields, the Board has supported organizational growth initiatives, driven global change, and contributed value across Genmab.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Genmab’s dedicated team members, Chief Executive Officer Jan van de Winkel and the entire global leadership team for their inspiration and extraordinary leadership as well as our shareholders for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D.
President & Chief Executive Officer

Dear Shareholder,

As I reflect on 2024, I am proud to share a year of remarkable progress and strategic achievement at Genmab. This year has reinforced our commitment to transforming the lives of people with cancer and other serious diseases through groundbreaking antibody-based medicines. Our advances across research, development, and commercialization activities reflect the strength of our vision, our team, and our unwavering focus on delivering value for patients and stakeholders alike.

Strategic Growth and Innovation

This year, we achieved several key milestones that drive us closer to our 2030 Vision of being a fully integrated biotech innovation powerhouse. Central to this was our acquisition of ProfoundBio, completed in May, which significantly enhanced our long-term growth potential and brought assets such as Rina-S into our pipeline. Rina-S, a next-generation ADC with best-in- class potential, entered Phase 3 development this year. We also assumed sole responsibility for the continued development and potential commercialization of acasunlimab, underscoring our commitment to building a robust pipeline of wholly owned, late-stage programs. These advancements are supported by a growing portfolio of proprietary technologies, including the novel ADC technology platforms we acquired with ProfoundBio, and our validated DuoBody platform, which underpins our success with innovative bispecific antibodies.# Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Letter from the CEO

Transforming Science into Medicine

This year, we carefully evaluated our investments with a focus on portfolio prioritization, and we evaluated our clinical pipeline to ensure we are investing our resources in the best and most effective way possible. This strategic prioritization means we are very focused on maximizing the potential of turning science into medicine through our Phase 3 programs, EPKINLY, Rina-S and acasunlimab. After a thorough assessment, we also decided to terminate some early-stage clinical programs that did not meet our criteria for potential KYSO ® antibody-based medicines. And we decided not to pursue a Phase 3 program for Tivdak in second line plus head and neck cancer.

This year we are pleased that our commercialized medicines reached significant achievements:

  • EPKINLY became the first and only subcutaneous (SC) bispecific antibody approved to treat both relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the U.S. and Europe. Strong launches in Japan and other key markets have exceeded expectations.
  • Tivdak, our tissue factor (TF)-directed ADC, received full U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) approval based on data demonstrating significant overall survival benefits for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer.

A Strong Financial Foundation to Enable Our Evolution

Our financial performance this year has been a testament to the strength of our strategy. Recurring revenues grew significantly, driven by royalties from our collaborations and sales of EPKINLY and Tivdak, both of which delivered robust sales in 2024. This growth reinforces our financial position and enables continued investment based on our strategic prioritization efforts, which include our late- stage clinical programs and commercialization capabilities. This focused approach enables us to realize our vision and capitalize on significant growth opportunities ahead.

Genmab’s 25th anniversary also marked the beginning of a new era of opportunity as our company leverages the full potential of our late-stage clinical programs, the potential of the acquisition of ProfoundBio and continues to build on our existing cutting-edge antibody research and development to fulfill our mid- to long-term growth as a fully integrated biotech innovation powerhouse.

Acknowledgments and Outlook

These accomplishments and our progress would not have been possible without the dedication of our exceptional team, the collaboration of our partners, and the trust of our shareholders. I want to express my deepest gratitude to all who have contributed to our success this year. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue to evolve into a fully integrated biotech. With a strong foundation, an exceptional team, and a strong pipeline of innovative antibody medicines and investigational medicines, Genmab is well- positioned to deliver on our vision to have an impact on the lives of patients around the world. Thank you for your continued confidence and support. Together, we will continue to drive forward and reach our inspirational 2030 vision.

Sincerely yours,

Jens Slot, Ph.D.
President & CEO

Revenue

Genmab expects its 2025 revenue to be in the range of USD 3.3–3.7 billion, compared to USD 3.1 billion in 2024. Genmab’s projected revenue growth for 2025 is driven by higher royalties, net product sales and collaboration revenue. Royalty growth relates mainly to DARZALEX and Kesimpta net sales growth. Net product sales and collaboration revenue growth is driven by strong performance for both EPKINLY and Tivdak. Net product sales and collaboration revenue consists of EPKINLY net product sales in the U.S. and Japan, and Tivdak (50% gross profit share). Genmab’s projected revenue for 2025 primarily consists of DARZALEX royalties of approximately USD 2.2 billion at the midpoint. Such royalties are based on estimated DARZALEX 2025 net sales of USD 12.6–13.4 billion compared to actual net sales in 2024 of USD 11.7 billion. DARZALEX royalties are partly offset by Genmab’s share of J&J’s royalty payments to Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Halozyme) in connection with SC net sales as well as royalty reduction in countries and territories where there is no Genmab patent coverage. The remainder of Genmab’s revenue consists of royalties from Kesimpta, TEPEZZA, RYBREVANT, TECVAYLI, TALVEY and TEPKINLY, net product sales and collaboration revenue from EPKINLY and Tivdak, reimbursement revenue and milestones.# 2025 Outlook

Genmab anticipates its 2025 operating expenses to be in the range of USD 2.1–2.2 billion, compared to USD 2.0 billion in 2024. The increase in operating expenses is primarily related to investments in late-stage programs and launch readiness in key markets.

Operating Profit

Genmab expects its 2025 operating profit to be in the range of USD 0.9–1.4 billion, compared to USD ~1.0 billion.

Outlook: Risks and Assumptions

In addition to factors already mentioned, the estimates above are subject to change due to numerous reasons, including but not limited to: the achievement of certain milestones associated with Genmab’s collaboration agreements; the timing and variation of development activities (including activities carried out by Genmab’s collaboration partners) and related income and costs; DARZALEX, DARZALEX FASPRO, Kesimpta, TEPEZZA, RYBREVANT, TECVAYLI, TALVEY and TEPKINLY net sales and royalties paid to Genmab; changing rates of inflation; and currency exchange rates (the 2025 guidance assumes a USD/DKK exchange rate of 7.2). The financial guidance assumes that no significant new agreements are entered into during 2025 that could materially affect the results. The factors discussed above, as well as other factors that are currently unforeseeable, may result in further material adverse impacts on Genmab’s business and financial performance, including unfavorable impacts on the sales of Tivdak and EPKINLY/TEPKINLY, and on the net sales of DARZALEX, Kesimpta, TEPEZZA, RYBREVANT, TECVAYLI, and TALVEY by Genmab’s collaboration partners and on Genmab’s royalties, collaboration revenue and milestone revenue therefrom.

2025 Outlook is presented in USD as management has determined it is appropriate to change the functional currency of Genmab A/S and the presentation currency to USD effective January 1, 2025. Refer to Note 5.8 for additional details regarding the change in functional and presentation currency.

Business Model

At Genmab, we have built a profitable and successful# Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Management’s Review

Our Strengths and Differentiators
* World-class antibody biology knowledge and insight into disease targets
* Discovery and development engine with proprietary technologies that allow us to build a differentiated pipeline
* In-house expertise with a solid track record of building successful strategic partnerships
* Pipeline of potential best-in-class and/or first-in-class therapies
* Experienced, diverse leadership team

1. Research and Discovery

Target Identification: The first step in Genmab’s value chain involves identifying disease-related targets, particularly in oncology. This includes research into the biological mechanisms underlying diseases and identifying targets that can be addressed with antibody therapies.
Antibody Engineering: Genmab employs its proprietary technologies, such as DuoBody, HexaBody and its ADC platforms, to engineer and develop novel antibodies. These technologies allow for the creation of bispecific antibodies (capable of targeting two different antigens), enhanced antibody functionality and ADCs (antibodies with potent cytotoxic agents coupled to them).

2. Preclinical Development

Preclinical Development: Genmab conducts extensive preclinical testing to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and potential of these antibodies before advancing them to clinical trials.

3. Clinical Development

Clinical Trials: Genmab advances its antibody candidates through various phases of clinical trials (Phase 1, 2, and 3). This involves testing the candidates in human patients to assess safety, dosage, and efficacy.
Strategic Partnerships: During clinical development, Genmab may decide to partner with pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies to co-develop and co-fund the trials. These partnerships help mitigate risk and share the costs of development.

4. Manufacturing

Process Development: Genmab focuses on developing scalable and efficient manufacturing processes for its antibody products. Genmab does not currently own or operate large-scale manufacturing facilities but works closely with contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and partners to ensure high-quality production.
QC: Ensuring the consistency, safety, and quality of our products is a key part of the manufacturing process. Genmab implements strict quality control measures throughout production.

5. Registration and Launch

Regulatory Approval: Following successful clinical trials, Genmab seeks regulatory approval from authorities like the European Medicines Agency (EMA) (Europe), the U.S. FDA (U.S.) and MHLW (Japan), and other regulatory bodies. This step is crucial for bringing the investigational medicine to market.

6. Commercialization

Marketing and Sales: Once a product receives regulatory approval, Genmab, often through a variety of arrangements, markets and sells the approved medicine. This step includes establishing market strategies including market access, engaging with payors, educating healthcare providers, and launching the product in various regions.
Distribution: Genmab collaborates with distribution networks, either through partners or on its own, to ensure the approved medicine reaches healthcare providers and patients in the approved jurisdictions.
Pharmacovigilance: After launch, Genmab monitors the product’s performance in the market, collecting data on its safety and effectiveness in broader patient populations.

7. Partnerships and Alliances

Licensing: Genmab licenses its proprietary technologies (like the DuoBody and HexaBody platforms) to other biotech and pharmaceutical companies. This generates revenue through upfront payments, milestones, and royalties.
Business Development: Genmab’s Business Development team plays a crucial role in the value chain, particularly in bridging the gap between R&D and commercial success by identifying opportunities, helping form strategic alliances, and assisting in in-licensing and out-licensing business.
Co-Development: Genmab often enters into co-development agreements where the costs, risks, and profits are shared with partners. This collaboration is particularly important during clinical development and commercialization phases.
Strategic Alliances: Beyond traditional partnerships, Genmab engages in strategic alliances with research institutions and other biotech companies to access complementary technologies, expand its pipeline, and explore new therapeutic areas.

Denmark Denmark, with its rich history of scientific achievement and innovation, has been our home for Genmab’s headquarters for 25 years. We are surrounded by a vibrant ecosystem of talent, with multiple biotech and pharma peers, academia and research centers, knowledge, and resources. Genmab opened our new headquarters in Valby, Denmark in 2023, a space designed specifically for Genmab. In addition, Genmab introduced our own Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) QC laboratory in 2023. The new space insources certain business-critical processes and capabilities for our early clinical development. With our growing pipeline and commercial ambitions, we are taking control of processes, prioritization, people, and timing and taking another tremendous step toward becoming an end-to-end biotech innovation powerhouse.

United States Genmab opened our new U.S. facility in 2020. This space, modeled on the open and collaborative spirit of the R&D labs and offices in Utrecht and Zeist, includes both offices and laboratories. The U.S. precision medicine laboratories allow Genmab to expand our clinical and preclinical drug development expertise and are part of the strategic growth of the Company. As with our Utrecht facilities, our U.S. office and laboratories were designed and built with sustainability in mind and meet the requirements for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification for sustainable design features.

Japan Genmab’s Japan office is located in Roppongi, an international business district in the center of Tokyo. It offers an open and collaborative environment that fosters Genmab’s culture of innovation and teamwork.

China As part of our acquisition of ProfoundBio, Genmab expanded our presence to our newest locations with state-of-the-art research and CMC capabilities in Suzhou, China. As Genmab continues to grow our geographical footprint, we will endeavor to do so with minimal impact to the environment and with a focus on sustainable practices.

Research and Development Capabilities

We are making continuous progress in our ambition to become a fully-integrated, end-to-end biotech, which includes advancing the development of our fully owned medicines and delivering them to patients around the world. Building on our legacy of innovation and our patient-first approach, we have successfully launched two therapies through partnerships. This year, we expanded the reach of these medicines to additional geographies and patient populations while also progressing the development of wholly-owned, late-stage investigational products.

Expanding the Potential of Bispecifics in Lymphoma

In June 2024, the U.S. FDA approved a second indication for EPKINLY (epcoritamab-bysp), specifically for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory FL after two or more lines of systemic therapy. With this approval, EPKINLY became the first and only T-cell engaging bispecific antibody administered subcutaneously approved in the U.S. to treat this patient population. Subsequently in August 2024, epcoritamab, under the brand name TEPKINLY, became the first subcutaneous bispecific antibody approved as a monotherapy in the EU to treat relapsed or refractory FL after two or more lines of systemic therapy. Additionally in September 2024, the U.S. FDA granted a second breakthrough therapy designa- tion for EPKINLY in relapsed or refractory FL when administered in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide. In Japan, a supplemental J-NDA was submitted to the MHLW for EPKINLY for the treatment of patients with third line plus relapsed or refractory FL grade 1-3A. Follicular lymphoma is the second most common form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). It is considered incurable, and historically, patients may relapse or face a shortened duration of response with prior standards of care. Since 2023, EPKINLY has received regulatory approvals in more than 50 countries. It was the first bispecific approved in the world with a dual indication in third line plus relapsed or refractory DLBCL and third line plus relapsed or refractory FL. In the U.S., it continues to be the only bispecific with this dual indication. In Japan, it remains the first and only T-cell engaging bispecific antibody administered subcutaneously approved for the treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) or grade 3B FL. EPKINLY/TEPKINLY is developed and commercialized in partnership with AbbVie. We are creating lasting impact as we bring our medicines to more patients around the world.

Creating Community with CeMe™

The CeMe™ campaign in the U.S., created in partnership with Pfizer, builds community and a sense of belonging among those impacted by cervical cancer. “After the treatment, I didn’t know what to do next,” said Anna Ogo. “That’s about when I found a community of women who had experienced cervical cancer like me, and they helped me tremendously. With their support, I began to find confidence in sharing my story.” www.youtube.com/cemestories

Driving Progress in Cervical Cancer Care

Advanced cervical cancer remains a disease with high medical need. In the U.S., up to 16% of cervical cancer cases are diagnosed at the metastatic stage, and up to 61% of earlier-stage diagnoses progress to metastatic disease. Globally, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in women. In April 2024, the U.S. FDA approved the supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) granting approval for Tivdak (tisotumab vedotin-tftv), which we market in the U.S. in partnership with Pfizer. This U.S. FDA action converted the September 2021 accelerated approval of Tivdak to a full approval. Tivdak remains the first and only approved ADC for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer in the U.S. In Japan, the incidence and mortality rates for cervical cancer have been increasing, attributable in part to low vaccination rates for the human papillomavirus (HPV) (<5%) and regular checkups (40%). In April 2024, a J-NDA was submitted to the MHLW for Tivdak for the treatment of advanced or recurrent cervical cancer with disease progression after chemotherapy. Currently, patients whose disease progresses or recurs following initial treatment face limited options. If approved, Tivdak could provide renewed hope to the cervical cancer community.

Ensuring Rapid and Sustainable Access to Medicines

We are focused in our pursuit to turn innovative science into medicines that create value and deliver meaningful impact to patients and health systems. Ultimately, we positively impact the lives of people with cancer when our science becomes medicine, our medicine creates value, and the value of our medicine is realized by patients who can benefit. Patient access and affordability are key components of this. We aim to ensure that the price of our medicines allows patients, regardless of their socioeconomic or insurance status, to have timely access while considering the transformational potential of our science, its benefit to healthcare systems and society, and our ability to invest in the breakthrough science of the future. At the same time, together with our partners, we work with local country regulatory and payer authorities in the U.S., Japan, and throughout Europe to facilitate registration and reimbursement to help enable patient access to our medicines around the world.

Our Approach to Value, Access, and Pricing

  • Value: The value of our medicines is driven by our innovative science.
  • Access: Patient impact happens when our medicines reach the people who need them and help them live better.
  • Pricing: The price of our medicines reflects the innovation behind our science, its impact on patients, and our commitment to bringing that science to patients.

We recognize that true patient impact happens when our medicines reach the patients who need them. In the U.S., MyNavCare™ Patient Support by Genmab was created to offer support services to patients prescribed Genmab medicines to help them navigate each step of their unique treatment journey. MyNavCare offers a range of resources and services, from financial assistance to ongoing support, to help patients access the Genmab medication they need. Part of this can include ongoing support from Patient Engagement Liaisons — such as Ann Fodrey. During a hurricane in 2024, one of the patients Ann supports was impacted by the storm and the roof of his home was heavily damaged. Fodrey provided consistent support, checking in to make sure the patient, a retired military veteran, was able to safely get to his treatment and also connected him with a veteran’s organization that was able to install a temporary roof on his house. “Every day we do small things like this. It doesn’t have to be pointing them to an organization that can provide the support they need. It could be connecting them with a peer-to-peer resource, so they have somebody that’s going through a similar experience — listening to them,” Fodrey said. “And that’s just as important.” www.mynavcare.com

About Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

DLBCL is the most common type of B-cell NHL worldwide, accounting for approximately 25%–30% of all NHL cases. 1,2 In the U.S. there are approximately 25,000 new cases of DLBCL diagnosed each year. 3 DLBCL can arise in lymph nodes as well as in organs outside of the lymphatic system, occurs more commonly in the elderly and is slightly more prevalent in men. 4,5 DLBCL is a fast-growing type of NHL, a cancer that develops in the lymphatic system and affects B-cell lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. For many people living with DLBCL, their cancer either relapses, which means it may return after treatment, or becomes refractory, meaning it does not respond to treatment. Although new therapies have become available, treatment management can remain a challenge. 6,7

About Follicular Lymphoma

FL is typically an indolent (or slow-growing) form of NHL that arises from B-lymphocytes and is the second most common form of NHL accounting for 20–30% of all cases. 1 About 15,000 people develop FL each year in the U.S. 2 and it is considered incurable with current standard of care therapies. 3 Patients often relapse and, with each relapse the remission and time to next treatment is shorter. 4 Over time, transformation to DLBCL, an aggressive form of NHL associated with poor survival outcomes, can occur in more than 25% of FL patients. 5

About Cervical Cancer

Cervical cancer remains a disease with high unmet need despite advances in effective vaccination and screening practices to prevent and diagnose pre-/early-stage cancers for curative treatment. Recurrent and/or metastatic cervical cancer is a particularly devastating and mostly incurable disease; up to 15% of adults with cervical cancer present with metastatic disease at diagnosis 1,2 and, for adults diagnosed at earlier stages who receive treatment, up to 61% 3 will experience disease recurrence. It was estimated that in 2024, more than 13,820 new cases of invasive cervical cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. and 4,360 adults would die from the disease.

Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that play a central role in immunity against bacteria and viruses (also known as pathogens).

As we develop immunity, our bodies generate antibodies that bind to pathogen structures (known as antigens), which are specific to the pathogen. Once bound, the antibodies attract other parts of the immune system to eliminate the pathogen. In modern medicine, we have learned how to create and develop specific antibodies against antigens associated with diseased human cells for use in the treatment of diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disease. Genmab uses several types of technologies to create antibodies to treat disease and has developed proprietary antibody technologies including the DuoBody, HexaBody, DuoHexaBody and HexElect technology platforms. With our acquisition of ProfoundBio we also gained their novel ADC technology platforms. Information about these technologies can be found in the following sections and at www.genmab.com/antibody-science/ antibody-technology-platforms. We also use or license several other technologies to generate diverse libraries of high-quality, functional antibodies. In addition, we use or license technologies to increase the potency of some of our antibody therapeutics on a product- by-product basis.

Innovative Technology for Bispecific Antibody Therapeutics

  • Bispecific antibody technology platform
  • Potential in cancer, autoimmune, infectious, cardiovascular, central nervous system diseases, and hemophilia
  • Commercial collaborations with AbbVie, J&J and BioNTech among others, plus multiple research collaborations
  • Multiple regulatory approvals for medicines created using the DuoBody technology platform

The DuoBody technology platform is Genmab’s innovative platform for the discovery and development of bispecific antibodies. Bispecific antibodies bind to two different epitopes (or “docking” sites) either on the same or on different targets (also known as dual-targeting). Dual-targeting may improve binding specificity and enhance therapeutic efficacy or bring two different cells together (for example, engaging a T cell to kill a tumor cell). Bispecific antibodies generated with the DuoBody technology platform can be used for the development of therapeutics for diseases such as cancer, autoimmune, infectious, cardiovascular, central nervous system diseases, and hemophilia. DuoBody molecules combine the benefits of bispecificity with the strengths of conventional antibodies, which allows DuoBody molecules to be administered and dosed the same way as other antibody therapeutics. Genmab’s DuoBody technology platform generates bispecific antibodies via a versatile and broadly applicable process that is easily performed at high throughput, standard bench, as well as at commercial manufacturing scale. Genmab uses the DuoBody technology platform to create its own bispecific antibody programs and the technology is also available for licensing. Genmab has numerous alliances for the DuoBody technology platform including commercial collaborations with AbbVie, J&J, Novo Nordisk and BioNTech. Genmab’s proprietary DuoBody technology platform has been applied to a variety of bispecific antibody products in development, both in our own pipeline and in programs being developed by collaboration partners. The technology has been validated by the continued advancement of these investiga- tional medicines through clinical development, including four approved medicines. Today four products created by use of the DuoBody technology platform have received regula- tory approval.

DuoBody Technology Platform

The innovative DuoBody technology platform generates bispecific antibodies via a fast, versatile and broadly applicable process called controlled Fab-arm exchange. With only minimal protein engineering, the technology allows the binding arms of two distinct monoclonal antibodies to exchange, combining into one stable bispecific antibody, thereby retaining regular immunoglobulin structure and function. The DuoBody technology platform is also highly suitable for high throughput generation, screening and discovery of bispecific antibodies in final therapeutic format.

Advancing Our Pipeline

AbbVie

On June 10, 2020, Genmab entered into a broad oncology collaboration agreement with AbbVie to jointly develop and commercialize products including epcoritamab (DuoBody- CD3xCD20), and subsequently into a discovery research collaboration for up to four future differentiated antibody therapeutics for cancer. The companies will share commercial responsibilities for epcoritamab in the U.S. and Japan, with AbbVie responsible for further global commercialization. Genmab is the principal for net sales in the U.S. and Japan and receives tiered royalties on remaining global sales outside of these territories. For any product candidates developed as a result of the companies’ discovery research collaboration, Genmab and AbbVie will share responsibilities for global development and commercialization in the U.S. and Japan. Genmab retains the right to co- commercialize these products, along with AbbVie, outside of the U.S. and Japan. Under the terms of the agreement, Genmab has the potential to receive regulatory and sales milestone payments, as well as tiered royalties between 22% and 26% on net sales for epcoritamab outside the U.S. and Japan. Except for these royalty-bearing sales, the parties will share in profit from the sale of epcoritamab on a 50:50 basis. If all four next-generation antibody product candidates developed as a result of the discovery research collaboration are successful, Genmab is eligible to receive up to USD 2.0 billion in option exercise and success-based milestones. Genmab and AbbVie split 50:50 the development costs related to epcoritamab, while Genmab will be responsible for 100% of the costs for the discovery research programs up to opt-in. Please refer to Note 5.6 of the financial statements for further details regarding the collaboration with AbbVie.

BioNTech

In May 2015, Genmab entered an agreement with BioNTech to jointly research, develop and commercialize bispecific antibody-based investigational medicines using Genmab’s DuoBody technology platform. Under the terms of the agreement, BioNTech will provide proprietary antibodies against key immunomodulatory targets, while Genmab provides proprietary antibodies and access to its DuoBody technology platform. Genmab paid an upfront fee of USD 10 million to BioNTech. If the companies jointly select any antibody-based product candidates for clinical development, development costs and product ownership will be shared equally going forward. If one of the companies does not wish to move an antibody product forward, the other company is entitled to continue developing it on predetermined licensing terms. The agreement also includes provisions which will allow the parties to opt out of joint development at key points. Genmab and BioNTech currently have two bispecific antibody products in clinical development, GEN1042 (BNT312, DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB) and GEN1059 (BNT314, DuoBody-EpCAMx4-1BB). In 2024, Genmab assumed sole responsibility for the continued development and potential commercialization of an additional bispecific antibody, acasunlimab (GEN1046, DuoBody-PD-L1x4-1BB) after BioNTech opted to not participate in further development of the program. Please refer to Note 5.6 of the financial statements for further details regarding Genmab’s collaboration with BioNTech.

Our Innovative Technology in Action

J&J

In July 2012, and as amended in December 2013, Genmab entered into a collaboration with J&J to create and develop bispecific antibodies using our DuoBody technology platform. Three of the DuoBody-based investigational medicines created under this collaboration, RYBREVANT (amivantamab), TECVAYLI (teclistamab) and TALVEY (talquetamab) have received regulatory approval in various territories worldwide.# Genmab 2024 Annual Report

ADC Technology Platforms

Two Proprietary Hydrophilic Linker-drug Platforms with Clinical Validation
  • Combines both novel and validated components to create potentially best-in-class ADCs
  • Acquired from ProfoundBio, basis of four products in the clinic, including Rina-S

ADCs are antibodies with potent cytotoxic agents coupled to them. By using antibodies that recognize specific targets on tumor cells, these cytotoxic agents are preferentially delivered to the tumor cells. With Genmab’s acquisition of ProfoundBio we inherited proprietary hydrophilic antibody-drug linker technology that blends innovative and proven methods to design ADCs leading to potentially enhanced therapeutic outcomes. This technology leverages two decades of insights into ADC pharmacology and optimization. These novel, highly hydrophilic and stable cleavable linkers are designed to mask the hydrophobicity of payloads, leading to ADCs with more “antibody-like” pharmacokinetics. Initial focus has been on clinically proven targets where ADC viability has been established. Our goal is to pursue targets with clear opportunities for best- and/or first- in-class ADCs. We also have the potential to combine this technology with Genmab’s proprietary DuoBody technology to create bispecific ADCs. There are currently four wholly owned programs in the clinic based on this technology, Rina-S, GEN1286 (EGFR, cMet), GEN1107 (PTK7) and GEN1160 (CD70).

HexaBody Technology Platform

Creating Differentiated Therapeutics
  • Enhanced potency antibody technology platform
  • Broadly applicable technology that builds on natural antibody biology
  • HexaBody-based investigational medicines in clinical development; HexaBody-CD38 (GEN3014) and HexaBody-OX40 (GEN1055/ BNT315)

The HexaBody technology platform is a proprietary Genmab technology that is designed to increase the potency of antibodies. The HexaBody technology platform builds on natural biology and strengthens the natural killing ability of antibodies while retaining regular structure and specificity. The technology allows for the creation of potent therapeutics by inducing antibody hexamer formation (clusters of six antibodies) after binding to their target antigen on the cell surface. We have used the HexaBody technology platform to generate antibodies with enhanced complement- mediated killing, allowing antibodies with limited or absent killing capacity to be transformed into potent, cytotoxic antibodies. In addition to complement-mediated killing, the clustering of membrane receptors by the HexaBody technology platform can lead to subsequent outside-in signaling leading to cell death. The HexaBody technology platform creates opportunities to explore new antibody-based product candidates and repurpose drug candidates unsuccessful in previous clinical trials due to insufficient potency. The HexaBody technology platform is broadly applicable and can be combined with Genmab’s DuoBody technology platform (DuoHexaBody technology platform) as well as other antibody technologies. The technology has the potential to enhance antibody therapeutics for a broad range of applications including cancer and infectious diseases. Genmab is using the HexaBody technology platform for its own antibody programs and the technology is also available for licensing. Two HexaBody-based investigational medicines are currently in clinical development. Genmab entered into an exclusive worldwide license and option agreement with J&J to develop and commercialize GEN3014 (HexaBody-CD38), a next-generation CD38 monoclonal antibody- based investigational medicine. In 2022, Genmab and BioNTech expanded their global strategic collaboration to include co- development of monospecific antibody candidates leveraging the HexaBody technology. Currently in the clinic under this collaboration is GEN1055 (BNT315, HexaBody-OX40).

Revenue

Genmab’s revenue was DKK 21,526 million in 2024 compared to DKK 16,474 million in 2023. The increase of DKK 5,052 million, or 31%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our collaborations with J&J and Novartis, respectively. Increased EPKINLY net product sales, driven by a strong product launch in 2023 with a full year of net sales in 2024, also contributed to increased revenue in 2024.

Genmab’s revenue was DKK 16,474 million in 2023 compared to DKK 14,505 million in 2022. The increase of DKK 1,969 million, or 14%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our collaborations with Janssen and Novartis, respectively, partly offset by milestones achieved in 2022 under our collaboration with AbbVie. EPKINLY net product sales, driven by a strong product launch, also contributed to increased revenue in 2023.

Royalties

Royalty revenue amounted to DKK 17,352 million in 2024 compared to DKK 13,705 million in 2023. The increase of DKK 3,647 million, or 27%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our daratumumab collaboration with J&J and ofatumumab collaboration with Novartis, respectively. The table below summarizes Genmab’s royalty revenue by product.

DARZALEX
J&J’s net sales of DARZALEX were USD 11,670 million in 2024 compared to USD 9,744 million in 2023 and USD 7,977 million in 2022.# Financial Review — Group

Management’s Review

DARZALEX

The increase from 2023 to 2024 of USD 1,926 million, or 20%, was driven by share gains in all regions. The increase from 2022 to 2023 of USD 1,767 million, or 22%, was also driven by share gains in all regions. Royalty revenue on net sales of DARZALEX was DKK 13,922 million in 2024 compared to DKK 11,265 million in 2023 and DKK 9,966 million in 2022, an increase of DKK 2,657 million from 2023 to 2024, and DKK 1,299 million from 2022 to 2023. The percentage increase in royalties of 24% from 2023 to 2024 is higher than the percentage increase in the underlying net sales of 20% primarily due to a higher effective royalty rate for 2024 and other positive foreign exchange rate impacts, partially offset by the increase in Genmab’s Halozyme royalty reductions in connection with the increase in SC product net sales and an increase in royalty reductions on net sales in countries and territories where there is no Genmab patent coverage as well as lower average exchange rate between the USD and DKK in 2024. Under our license agreement with Janssen for DARZALEX, for purposes of calcu- lating royalties due to Genmab, DARZALEX net sales for non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at a specified annual Currency Hedge Rate. This contractual arrange- ment is the driver for the other foreign exchange impacts discussed above. The percentage increase in royalties of 13% from 2022 to 2023 is lower than the percentage increase in the underlying net sales of 22% primarily due to a lower average exchange rate between the USD and DKK in 2023, other foreign exchange impacts, the increase in Genmab’s Halozyme royalty reductions in connection with the increase in SC product net sales and an increase in royalty reductions on net sales in countries and territories where there is no Genmab patent coverage. Under our license agreement with Janssen for DARZALEX, for purposes of calculating royalties due to Genmab, net sales for non-U.S. denominated currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at a specific annual Currency Hedge Rate. This contractual agreement is the driver for the other foreign exchange rate impacts discussed above, which were signifi- cantly more favorable in 2022 compared to 2023.

Kesimpta

Novartis’ net sales of Kesimpta were USD 3,224 million in 2024 compared to USD 2,171 million in 2023 and USD 1,092 million in 2022. The increase of USD 1,053 million from 2023 to 2024, or 49%, was primarily driven by increased demand and strong access. The increase of USD 1,079 million from 2022 to 2023, or 99%, was primarily driven by increased demand, strong access, and a one-time positive revenue adjustment in Europe. Royalty revenue on net sales of Kesimpta was DKK 2,222 million in 2024 compared to DKK 1,494 million in 2023, an increase of DKK 728 million, or 49%. Royalty revenue on net sales of Kesimpta was DKK 1,494 million in 2023 compared to DKK 779 million in 2022, an increase of DKK 715 million, or 92%.

TEPEZZA

Amgen’s net sales of TEPEZZA were USD 1,851 million in 2024 compared to USD 1,771 million in 2023 and USD 1,966 million in 2022. Royalty revenue on net sales of TEPEZZA was DKK 737 million in 2024 compared to DKK 704 million in 2023 and DKK 796 million in 2022, an increase of DKK 33 million, or 5% from 2023 to 2024 and a decrease of DKK 92 million, or 12% from 2022 to 2023.

Other Royalties

Other royalties consist of royalties from net sales of RYBREVANT, TECVAYLI, TALVEY and TEPKINLY. J&J was granted U.S. FDA approval for RYBREVANT during the second quarter of 2021, and Genmab subsequently started recognizing royalties on net sales of RYBREVANT. Royalties were not material for 2024, 2023 or 2022. J&J was granted approval for TECVAYLI for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma during the third quarter of 2022 in Europe and in the fourth quarter of 2022 in the U.S. Royalties were not material for 2024, 2023 or 2022. During the third quarter of 2023, J&J was granted approval in the U.S. and in Europe for TALVEY for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Royalties were not material for 2024 or 2023. The EC granted conditional marketing autho- rization for TEPKINLY as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL after two or more lines of systemic therapy during the third quarter of 2023. Royalties from AbbVie, related to European net sales, were not material for 2024 or 2023. Royalty revenue fluctuations from period to period are driven by the level of product net sales, foreign currency exchange rate movements and more specifically to DARZALEX, the contractual arrangement related to annual Currency Hedge Rate, Genmab’s share of J&J’s royalty payments to Halozyme in connection with SC product net sales and royalty deductions on net sales in countries and territories where there is no patent protection.

Reimbursement Revenue

Reimbursement revenue, mainly comprised of the reimbursement of certain research and development costs related to the development work under Genmab’s collaboration agreements, amounted to DKK 996 million in 2024 compared to DKK 864 million in 2023 and DKK 818 million in 2022. The increase of DKK 132 million, or 15%, from 2023 to 2024 was primarily driven by higher activities under our collaboration agreements with BioNTech for DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB and acasunlimab, prior to Genmab assuming full ownership, as well as by higher activities under our collaboration agreement with Pfizer for Tivdak. The increase of DKK 46 million, or 6%, from 2022 to 2023 was primarily driven by higher activities under our collaboration agreements with BioNTech for DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB and acasunlimab.

Milestone Revenue

Milestone revenue was DKK 1,000 million in 2024 compared to DKK 1,177 million in 2023 and DKK 1,767 million in 2022, a decrease of DKK 177 million, or 15%, from 2023 to 2024, and a decrease of DKK 590 million, or 33%, from 2022 to 2023, primarily driven by the following:
* 2024 milestones:
* Novartis milestone of DKK 582 million driven by worldwide net sales for Kesimpta, first exceeding DKK 17.4 billion in 2024, and
* AbbVie milestone of DKK 343 million (USD 50 million) due to the acceptance for filing of a Biologics License Application (BLA) by the U.S. FDA in the second indication of epcoritamab in the U.S.
* 2023 milestones:
* AbbVie milestone of DKK 348 million (USD 50 million) driven by the first commercial sale of EPKINLY in the U.S.,
* AbbVie milestone of DKK 205 million (USD 30 million) due to the acceptance of the marketing authorization application (MAA) filing by the EMA of the type II variation for marketing authorization of TEPKINLY,
* AbbVie milestone of DKK 176 million (USD 25 million) due to the first commercial sale of TEPKINLY in Europe, and
* J&J milestone of DKK 169 million (USD 25 million) related to the BLA approval in the U.S. for talquetamab.
* 2022 milestones:
* AbbVie milestone of DKK 577 million (USD 80 million) driven by the acceptance of the BLA by the U.S. FDA for epcoritamab,
* AbbVie milestone of DKK 444 million (USD 60 million) triggered by the validation of the MAA by the EMA in the EU for epcoritamab,
* J&J milestones of DKK 189 million (USD 25 million) and DKK 112 million (USD 15 million) for the approval of TECVAYLI for the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma in the U.S. and Europe, respectively, and
* AbbVie milestone of DKK 153 million (USD 20 million) driven by the initiation, or first patient dosed, of a pivotal trial (Phase 3) in the second indication for epcoritamab.

Milestone revenue may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to both the timing of achievements and the varying amount of each individual milestone under our license and collaboration agreements.

Collaboration Revenue

Collaboration revenue, which reflects 50% of gross profit from net sales of Tivdak in the U.S. by Pfizer, was DKK 433 million in 2024 compared to DKK 307 million in 2023 and DKK 332 million in 2022. The increase of DKK 126 million, or 41%, from 2023 to 2024 was primarily driven by increased sales of Tivdak. The decrease of DKK 25 million from 2022 to 2023 was primarily driven by a one-off payment in 2022 from Pfizer of approximately DKK 112 million (USD 15 million) which reflects Genmab’s share (50%) of payments received by Pfizer in connection with the sublicense of its rights to develop and commercialize tisotumab vedotin in China to Zai Lab Hong Kong, partly offset by an increase in net sales of Tivdak in 2023.

Net Product Sales

Global net sales of EPKINLY/TEPKINLY were USD 281 million in 2024. Net product sales in the U.S. and Japan by Genmab were DKK 1,743 million in 2024 compared to DKK 421 million in 2023. EPKINLY was approved in the U.S. in May 2023 and in Japan in September 2023. Net sales of TEPKINLY in territories where Genmab receives royalty revenue were USD 28 million in 2024, with immaterial net sales in 2023 due to regulatory approvals in such territories not occurring until late 2023. As EPKINLY is Genmab’s first commercialized product for which Genmab is recording net product sales, there were no net product sales recognized during 2022. Refer to Note 2.2 for further details about revenue.

Cost of Product Sales

Genmab recognized cost of product sales of DKK 985 million in 2024 compared to DKK 226 million in 2023. Cost of product sales related to EPKINLY sales is primarily comprised of profit-sharing amounts payable to AbbVie of DKK 831 million in 2024 compared to DKK 195 million in 2023, as well as product costs. There were no cost of product sales recog- nized during 2022 as EPKINLY was approved in the U.S. in May 2023 and in Japan in September 2023.# Financial Review — Group 55

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were DKK 3,790 million in 2024 compared to DKK 3,297 million in 2023 and DKK 2,676 million in 2022. The increase from 2023 to 2024 of DKK 493 million, or 15%, was driven by the continued expansion of Genmab’s commercialization capabilities through the increase in team members to support the continued launch of EPKINLY in the U.S. and Japan in 2023, and the investment in Genmab’s broader organizational capabilities. Selling, general and administration expense growth has been moderating during 2024 reflecting a focus on driving efficiency. We continue to increase team members and commercial support in a strategic manner. The increase from 2022 to 2023 of DKK 621 million, or 23%, was driven by the continued expansion of Genmab’s commercialization capabilities through the increase in team members to support the launch of EPKINLY in the U.S. and Japan in 2023, and the investment in Genmab’s broader organizational capabilities. DKK 1,813 million, or 48% of selling, general and administrative expenses in 2024, was related to compensation of Genmab team members associated with selling, general and administrative activities, as compared to DKK 1,541 million, or 47% in 2023 and DKK 1,065 million, or 40% in 2022. Refer to Note 2.3 and 3.2 for further details about staff costs and property and equipment.Selling, general and administrative expenses accounted for 28% of total research and development expenses and selling, general and administration expenses in 2024 compared to 30% in 2023 and 32% in 2022.

Acquisition and Integration Related Charges
Acquisition and integration related charges for the acquisition of ProfoundBio were DKK 300 million in 2024 compared to no acquisition and integration related charges for 2023 or 2022 as there were no acquisitions during these years. Refer to Note 5.5 for further details about the acquisition of ProfoundBio.

Operating Profit
Operating profit was DKK 6,703 million in 2024 compared to DKK 5,321 million in 2023, an increase of DKK 1,382 million, or 26%. Operating profit was DKK 5,321 million in 2023 compared to DKK 6,267 million in 2022, a decrease of DKK 946 million, or 15%.

The increase of DKK 13 million, or 1% from 2023 to 2024, was primarily driven by the higher cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities in the first half of 2024 compared to 2023, almost entirely offset by lower cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities in the second half of 2024 compared to 2023 as a result of liquidating marketable securities and using cash to purchase ProfoundBio. The increase of 658 million, or 203% from 2022 to 2023 was primarily driven by higher effective interest rates in the U.S., Europe, and Denmark.

Genmab 2024 Annual Report Management’s Review

Foreign Exchange Rate Gains and Losses
Foreign exchange rate gain, net of DKK 1,339 million in 2024 compared to the foreign exchange rate loss, net of DKK 889 million in 2023 and foreign exchange rate gain, net of DKK 1,051 in 2022 were primarily driven by foreign exchange movements impacting Genmab’s USD denominated marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents; in particular, the USD/DKK foreign exchange rates were as follows for each period:

December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
USD/DKK Foreign Exchange Rates 7.1429 6.7447 6.9722
% Increase/(Decrease) 6% (3)% 6%

Marketable Securities Gains and Losses
Gain on marketable securities, net was DKK 217 million in 2024 compared to gain on marketable securities, net of DKK 319 million in 2023 and loss on marketable securities, net of DKK 361 million in 2022. The decrease in gain, net of DKK 102 million, or 32% from 2023 to 2024 was primarily driven by the decrease in marketable securities in the first half of 2024 to fund the acquisition of ProfoundBio and share repurchase as well as changing interest rate outlooks for the U.S., primarily in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in gain, net of DKK 680 million, or 188% from 2022 to 2023, was primarily driven by interest rate outlooks for the U.S. and Europe.

Other Investments
Gains on other investments, net were DKK 30 million in 2024, losses on other investments, net were DKK 26 million in 2023 and DKK 297 million in 2022. The net gains and losses in 2024 and 2023 were primarily driven by changes in fair value of Genmab’s investments in certain strategic investment funds. The losses in 2022 were primarily driven by the change in fair value of Genmab’s investment in common shares of CureVac. Refer to Notes 4.2 and 4.5 for further details regarding foreign currency risk and net financial items, respectively.

Corporate Tax
Corporate tax expense was DKK 1,320 million in 2024 compared to DKK 1,285 million in 2023 and DKK 1,493 million in 2022. Genmab’s estimated annual effective tax rate was 14.4% in 2024 compared to 22.8% in 2023 and 21.5% in 2022. The decrease from 2023 to 2024 in Genmab’s effective tax rate was primarily due to the inte- gration of ProfoundBio which allowed for the deduction of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in 2024. The increase from 2022 to 2023 in Genmab’s effective tax rate was mainly driven by the increase of unrecognized deferred tax assets. We anticipate that our effective tax rate should be closer to the Danish statutory rate of 22% going forward. Refer to Note 2.4 for additional information regarding the corporate tax, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities including manage- ment’s significant judgements and estimates.

Net Profit
Net profit for 2024 was DKK 7,844 million compared to DKK 4,352 million in 2023 and DKK 5,452 million in 2022. The changes in net profit for the periods were driven by the items described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
| December 31, (DKK million) | 2024 | 2023 |
| :------------------------- | :---- | :---- |
| Marketable securities | 11,243 | 13,268 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 9,858 | 14,867 |
| Shareholders’ equity | 36,697 | 31,610 |

As of December 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities denominated in USD represented 85% of Genmab’s total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities compared to 90% as of December 31, 2023. Marketable securities are invested in highly secure and liquid investments with short effective maturities. As of December 31, 2024, 71% of Genmab’s marketable securities were long-term A rated or higher, or short-term rated A-1/P-1 by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch compared to 72% as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, DKK 9,858 million, as compared to DKK 14,867 million as of December 31, 2023, was held as cash and cash equivalents, and as of December 31, 2024, DKK 11,243 million, as compared to DKK 13,268 million as of December 31, 2023, was held as liquid investments in short-term government and other debt instruments. Cash and cash equivalents included short- term marketable securities of DKK 82 million at the end of December 2024, compared to DKK 1,353 million at the end of December 2023. In accordance with Genmab’s accounting policy, securities purchased with a maturity of less than 90 days at the date of acquisition are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Genmab requires cash to meet our operating expenses and capital expenditures. We have funded our cash requirements since inception, including through December 31, 2024, primarily with royalty and milestone payments from our partners, upfront payments, and equity financing. Genmab expects to continue to fund a significant portion of our development costs for proprietary product candidates as well as commercialization activities with cash received from royalties and milestone payments from partners, and net sales of Genmab products.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, Genmab entered into an unsecured three-year revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) of up to USD 300 million with a syndicate of lenders. Genmab intends to use the Credit Facility to finance working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes, of Genmab A/S and its subsidiaries. The Credit Facility includes options to increase the size of the facility up to USD 500 million as well as the ability to extend

Genmab 2024 Annual Report Management’s Review

for an additional two years. The Credit Facility contains certain customary financial covenants. As of December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding amounts due on, nor any usage of, the Credit Facility and Genmab was in compliance with all financial covenants.

Genmab’s expenditures on current and future preclinical and clinical development programs are subject to numerous uncertainties in timing and cost to completion. In order to advance our product candidates toward commercialization, the product candidates are tested in numerous preclinical safety, toxicology and efficacy studies. Genmab then conducts clinical trials for those product candidates that take several years or more to complete. The length of time varies substantially based upon the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate. The cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of a variety of factors, including: the number of patients required in the clinical trials; the length of time required to enroll trial participants; the number and location of sites included in the trials; the costs of producing supplies of the product candidates needed for clinical trials and regulatory submissions; the safety and efficacy profile of the product candidate; the use of CROs to assist with the management of the trials; and the costs and timing of, and the ability to secure, regulatory approvals. Genmab’s expenses also fluctuate from period to period based on the degree of activities with collaborative partners, timing of manufacturing campaigns, numbers of patients enrolled in clinical trials and the outcome of each clinical trial event. As a result, Genmab is unable to determine with any degree of certainty the anticipated completion dates, duration and completion costs of research and development projects, or when and to what extent Genmab will receive cash inflows from the commercialization and sale of any product candidates. Genmab also cannot predict the actual amount or timing of future royalties and milestone payments, and these may differ from estimates.Genmab expects to increase operating expenditures and make additional capital outlays over the next several years as Genmab supports preclinical development, manufacturing, clinical trial activities, product collaborations, commercialization activities and additional hiring of staff. As spending increases on research, development, business development and /or activities related to mergers and acquisitions, and commercialization activities related to product collaborations, Genmab may be required to make certain capital outlays against which Genmab expects to receive reimbursement to the extent the outlay exceeds Genmab’s share under the applicable collaboration agreement. Genmab expects that the time-lag between the expenditure by Genmab, and the reimbursement by a partner of its relevant share, may increase Genmab’s working capital needs. To the extent Genmab’s capital resources are insufficient to meet future capital requirements, Genmab will need to finance operating requirements and other cash needs through the use of the Credit Facility, public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or additional corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. Refer to Notes 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 for additional information regarding our external source of liquidity, financial, risks and marketable securities, respectively.

Cash Flows

The following table provides information regarding Genmab’s cash flow for 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Cash Flow (DKK million) 2024 2023 2022
Cash provided by operating activities 7,771 7,380 3,912
Cash (used in) investing activities (9,907) (1,282) (2,761)
Cash (used in) financing activities (3,919) (606) (789)
Increase in cash and cash equivalents (6,055) 5,492 362
Exchange rate adjustments 1,046 (518) 574

Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily related to our operating profit, changes in operating assets and liabilities, reversal of net financial items, and adjustments related to non-cash transactions. Cash provided by operating activities increased in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily driven by an increase in net profit before tax of DKK 3.5 billion, an increase in non-cash transactions of DKK 368 million, and a decrease in taxes paid of DKK 724 million in 2024 compared to 2023, partly offset by signif- icant AbbVie milestones achieved during the fourth quarter of 2022 with related cash received during 2023 and an increase in DARZALEX royalty receivables in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Cash provided by operating activities increased in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily driven by significant AbbVie milestones achieved during the fourth quarter of 2022 with related cash received during 2023, cash received for DARZALEX royalties in 2023, and higher corporate tax payments made in 2023 compared to 2022.

Net cash (used in) investing activities primarily reflects cash used in making acquisitions, differences between the proceeds received from the sale and maturity of our investments and amounts invested, and the cash paid for investments in tangible and intangible assets. The increase from 2023 to 2024 in net cash (used in) investing activities is primarily driven by the acquisition of ProfoundBio, partly offset by the sales and maturities of marketable securities exceeding purchases in 2024, compared to purchases exceeding sales and maturities in 2023. The decrease from 2022 to 2023 in net cash (used in) investing activities is primarily driven by purchases of marketable securities exceeding sales and maturities to a greater extent during 2022 compared to 2023.

Net cash (used in) financing activities is primarily related to the purchase of treasury shares, exercise of warrants, lease payments, and payment of withholding taxes on behalf of employees on net settled Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The increase from 2023 to 2024 in net cash (used in) financing activities is primarily driven by cash payments for the purchase of treasury shares of DKK 3,879 million in 2024 compared to DKK 564 million in 2023. The decrease from 2022 to 2023 in net cash (used in) financing activities is primarily driven by cash payments for the purchase of treasury shares of DKK 564 million in 2023 compared to DKK 908 million in 2022.

Exchange rate adjustments represent foreign currency gains or losses on Genmab’s cash and cash equivalents, primarily driven by our cash and cash equivalents holdings denominated in USD. The USD/DKK foreign exchange rate increased 6% in 2024, decreased 3% in 2023 and increased 6% in 2022.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2024, total assets were DKK 45,811 million, compared to DKK 35,289 million as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, assets are mainly comprised of intangible assets of DKK 12,343 million, primarily made up of intangible assets acquired in the ProfoundBio acquisition, marketable securities of DKK 11,243 million, current receivables of DKK 6,590 million, cash and cash equivalents of DKK 9,858 million and DKK 2,535 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of ProfoundBio. The current receivables consist primarily of amounts related to royalties from our collaboration agreements. The credit risk related to our receivables is not material based on no historical credit losses as well as the high-quality nature of Genmab’s collaboration partners and limited number of distributors with high credit standing. Refer to Note 3.6 for additional information regarding receivables and Note 5.5 for additional details related to the acquisition of ProfoundBio.

As of December 31, 2024, total liabilities were DKK 9,114 million compared to DKK 3,679 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase in total liabilities of DKK 5,435 million, or 148%, was primarily driven by the DKK 2,359 million deferred tax liability related to the acquisition and integration activities for ProfoundBio, an increase of DKK 1,656 million in corporate taxes payable due to Genmab’s net profit before tax, an increase of DKK 1,170 million in accruals related to the expansion of our product pipeline, and an increase in lease liabilities of DKK 259 million driven by the commencement of a lease in the U.S. with respect to office and laboratory space.

Shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2024 was DKK 36,697 million compared to DKK 31,610 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase of DKK 5,087 million, or 16%, was driven primarily by Genmab’s net profit for the period and share-based compensation expenses, partly offset by the purchase of treasury shares. Genmab’s equity ratio was 80% as of December 31, 2024 compared to 90% as of December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to assets acquired in the acquisition of ProfoundBio, net of cash paid, in addition to the share buy-back completed in June 2024 that offset Genmab’s net profit for the period.

Legal Matters — J&J Binding Arbitrations

In September 2020, Genmab commenced arbitration against J&J with respect to two different provisions of our license agreement for daratumumab, both relating to royalties payable to Genmab on net sales of daratumumab (marketed as DARZALEX for IV administration and as DARZALEX FASPRO in the U.S. and as DARZALEX SC in Europe for SC administration). In April 2022, the arbitral tribunal issued an award in that arbitration denying both of Genmab’s claims. Genmab did not seek review of the award. On June 9, 2022, Genmab commenced a second arbitration against J&J under the license agreement, in which Genmab sought additional compensation from J&J with respect to SC daratumumab based on Genmab’s position that the award in favor of J&J in the first arbitration was premised on that tribunal’s determination that IV daratumumab and SC daratumumab were separate “Licensed Products” as that term is defined in the license agreement. Genmab’s claim in that second arbitration was denied by the tribunal on April 21, 2023 on the ground that it should have been brought in the first arbitration, and the dismissal was affirmed by an appellate arbitrator on January 23, 2024.

In June 2024, Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. filed a lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court, Japan against AbbVie’s and Genmab’s subsidiaries in Japan asserting that their activities with EPKINLY (epcoritamab) in Japan infringe two Japanese patents held by Chugai, JP6278598 and JP6773929. Chugai is claiming damages and injunctive relief. Genmab and AbbVie believe that the two Japanese patents are indeed invalid and not infringed and intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit, and thus no provision has been recorded related to this matter. Refer to Note 5.7 for further details about contingencies.

Revenue

Genmab A/S’s revenue was DKK 22,167 million in 2024 compared to DKK 17,126 million in 2023. The increase of DKK 5,041 million, or 29%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our collab- orations with J&J and Novartis, respectively. Increased EPKINLY intercompany net product sales, driven by a strong product launch in 2023 with a full year of net sales in 2024, also contrib- uted to increased revenue in 2024.

Financial Income and Expense

Genmab A/S’ financial income was DKK 17,404 million in 2024 compared to DKK 2,199 million in 2023. The increase of DKK 15,205 was primarily driven by the DKK 13.0 billion of dividend income Genmab A/S received related to the sale of ProfoundBio US intangible assets to Genmab A/S. Genmab A/S’ financial expense was DKK 12,239 million in 2024 compared to DKK 1,871 million in 2023. The increase of DKK 10,368 was primarily driven by the DKK 10.4 billion impairment related to Genmab A/S’ investment in subsidiaries.# Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Genmab has core facilities in five countries that perform research and development activities with clinical trials conducted around the globe. We also have commercial and sales organizations in the U.S. and Japan with manufacturing support activities in Europe. Through our activities, we are exposed to a variety of risks, some of which are inherent in our business and/or beyond our control including sustainability- related risks. These risks may have a significant impact on our business if not properly assessed and controlled. Maintaining a strong control environment, with adequate procedures for identification, prioritization and assessment of risks and adhering to operational policies designed to reduce such risks to an acceptable level, is essential for the continued evolution of Genmab. It is our policy to identify and reduce the risks derived from our operations and to establish insurance coverage and other enterprise risk reduction and resilience mechanisms to mitigate any residual risk, wherever considered practicable. The Audit and Finance Committee of the Board performs a yearly review of Genmab’s Enterprise Risk Program and relevant insurance coverage to ensure that they are appropriate for Genmab. For further information about the risks and uncertainties that Genmab faces, refer to the current Form 20-F filed with the SEC.

  3. Data Quality The best quality data available should be used to make decisions
  4. Fairness and Non-discrimination Data acquisition should be inclusive, equitable, and seek to support the industry’s mission of responding to the needs of all patients
  5. Ethics by Design Controls to prevent harm and risks to individuals should be built into the design of data architecture and data processing
  6. Responsible Data Sharing Data sharing should be based on processes that actively and consistently consider, prioritize, and protect individual rights
  7. Responsibility and Accountability Data Ethics Principles should be operationalized through effective governance, clear standards, training, monitoring activities, and disciplinary sanctions

Genmab will continue to focus on these principles, particularly in the areas of data privacy, DE&I, clinical trials, and the application of new technologies (e.g., Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning), where policies, processes, and training materials will be aligned with the above-mentioned principles. The Genmab Data Ethics policy and its principles are anchored in the Genmab Code of Conduct as part of the overall Genmab Compliance program.

Risk Management

Risk related to Strategic Collaborations

Genmab is dependent on existing partnerships with major pharmaceutical or biotech companies to support our business and develop and extend the commercialization of our products. Our business may suffer if our collaboration partners do not devote sufficient resources to our programs and products, do not successfully maintain, defend and enforce their intellectual property rights or do not otherwise have the ability to successfully develop or commercialize our products, independently or in collaboration with others. Our business may also suffer if we are not able to continue our current collaborations or establish new collaborations.

Genmab strives to be an attractive and respected collaboration partner, and to pursue a close and open dialogue with our collaboration partners to share ideas and align on best practices and decisions within clinical development and commercial operations to increase the likelihood that we reach our goals.

Genmab is primarily dependent on one contract manufacturing organization (CMO) and individual sites at the CMO to produce and supply our product candidates. Genmab is also dependent on clinical research organizations to conduct key aspects of our clinical trials, and on collaboration partners to conduct some of our clinical trials. CMOs may be subject to or affected by various U.S. legislation, executive orders, regulations, or investigations.

Genmab oversees outsourcing and partnership relationships to ensure consistency with strategic objectives and service provider compliance with regulatory requirements, resources, and performance. This includes assessment of contingency plans, availability of alternative service providers and costs and resources required to switch service providers. We continually evaluate financial solvency and require our suppliers to abide by a code of conduct consistent with Genmab’s Code of Conduct.

Risk Level in Relation to Last Year: Unchanged Decreased Increased

Risk related to Regulation, Legislation, and Compliance

Genmab is subject to extensive legislative, regulatory and other requirements during preclinical and clinical development, commercialization, and post-marketing approval, including healthcare, marketing/ labelling/promotion, fraud and abuse, competition/antitrust laws, and regulations, as well as transparency, privacy and data protection and other requirements.

Genmab is subject to strict disclosure obligations under applicable laws and regulations globally, including the EU Market Abuse Regulation and the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Being listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, we are subject to additional U.S. regulatory requirements, including U.S. securities laws and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and may become more exposed to U.S. class actions.

To ensure compliance with applicable healthcare laws and regulations, Genmab has established a compliance program, including a Code of Conduct that is regularly evaluated and sets high ethical standards on which all colleagues receive regular training. Genmab also maintains a Speak Up Policy and Hotline for reporting and response to potential misconduct. Our head of Global Compliance reports directly to the CEO.

Genmab is committed to transparency of clinical trial research and has published our Clinical Trial Transparency Declaration. Genmab is also committed to ensuring equal access to Genmab clinical trials and that patients participating in our trials are representative of those living with the disease being studied.

Genmab respects the privacy, protection, and appropriate use of data by ensuring compliance with all applicable privacy and data protection laws, regulations, and other standards. In support of this commitment, Genmab established its Global Data Privacy Office supported by a cross-functional team of privacy subject matter experts, including a Data Protection Officer, who collaborate in the development and maintenance of a forward-looking Global Data Privacy Program that seeks address shifts in both the internal and external environments, along with emerging challenges in the privacy and data protection regulatory landscape. The Program, through its policies, procedures, and centralized guidance for processing personal data, seeks to drive organizational accountability and empower Genmab colleagues, and our third party partners, to handle personal data consistent with our values of ethical behavior, integrity, fairness, inclusion, and transparency.

To further support compliance with regulatory, legal, and other requirements applicable to our business and operations, including current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLP), current Good Clinical Practices (cGCP) and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), Genmab’s QA department is staying abreast of and adhering to regulatory and legislative changes relevant to quality standards.

Risk Level in Relation to Last Year: Unchanged Decreased Increased

Regulation, Legislation, and Compliance (continued)

Genmab has also established relevant procedures and guidelines to ensure transparency with respect to providing timely, adequate, and correct information to the market and otherwise complying with applicable securities laws and other legal and regulatory requirements. Genmab has an Internal Audit function that reports to the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board and administratively reports to the CFO.

Legislation, regulations, industry codes and practices, and their application may change from time to time. To prevent unwarranted consequences of new and amended legislation, regulations, etc., Genmab strives to stay current with respect to all applicable legislation, regulations, industry codes and practices by means of its internal compliance function and related governance bodies as well as internal and external legal counsel. Also, internal procedures for review and refinement of contracts are ongoing to ensure contractual consistency and compliance with applicable legislation, regulation, and other standards.

Risk related to Intellectual Property

Genmab is dependent on protecting our own intellectual property rights to regain our investments and protect our competitive positions.# Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Management’s Review

Risk Management

Risk related to Finances

Genmab may need additional funding. Because Genmab’s future commercial potential and operating profits are hard to predict, Genmab’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and a continuous advancement of Genmab’s product pipeline and business in general. Genmab also has access to revolving loan facility totaling USD 300 million, with options to increase size of the facility up to USD 500 million, which can be drawn down upon as another source of additional funding.

Risk areas: Finances (continued)

Mitigation: Genmab is exposed to different kinds of financial risks, including currency exposure and changes in interest rates as well as changes in Danish, U.S. or foreign tax laws or related compliance requirements. Genmab has established financial risk management guidelines to identify and analyze relevant risks, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor the risks and adherence to limits. Please refer to Note 4.2 of the financial statements for additional information regarding financial risks.

Risk related to Management and Workforce

Genmab may have an inability to attract and retain suitably qualified team members as it continues to evolve. To attract and retain our highly skilled team, including the members of Genmab’s Executive Management, Genmab offers competitive remuneration packages, including share-based remuneration. Genmab strives to create a positive, safe, and energizing working environment. Genmab has strong core values that nourish high- integrity and ethical behavior, respectful and candid tone and a culture which prizes diversity, as well as trust and teamwork. Genmab has implemented strategies such as diversifying recruitment efforts, cross-training employees, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing, investing in talent development programs, and promoting a supportive work environment that values employee well- being and career growth. Please refer to Note 4.6 of the financial statements for additional information regarding share-based compensation.

Risk related to Cybersecurity

Genmab may be subject to malicious cyber attacks, and with the increased use of artificial intelligence within the biopharmaceutical industry, can lead to the theft or leakage of intellectual property, sensitive business data, or personal employee or patient data, with the result of significant business disruptions, negative impacts to patient or employee privacy, monetary loss or fines from authorities, or reputational damage. Genmab has implemented security controls and processes to enhance the identification of potential data/systems security issues and mitigate the risk of security breaches. Genmab makes use of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and other security standards to define and implement such security controls. Due to the continually changing threat environment, regular assessments are executed to ensure that implemented security controls and processes follow the threat profile of the Company and effectively support Genmab’s ambitious business strategy. The risk of security breaches is regarded as enterprise risk and the Company’s threat profile, the security program and security incidents are presented and discussed in meetings of the Global Compliance and Risk Committee and the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board. Genmab’s Cybersecurity Program, in conjunction with Genmab’s Global Data Privacy Program, collaborate to manage and mitigate any cybersecurity and data privacy threats to the personal data processed in our systems and by our third party partners.

Genmab 2024 Annual Report
Management’s Review

As an international biotech company dedicated to improving the lives of cancer patients around the world, Genmab operates within a heavily regulated environment that exposes us to an ever- evolving set of risks, some of which are beyond our control. Genmab has core facilities in five countries, conduct activities in additional areas, and perform an array of essential innovation, research, development, manufacturing activities, commercial operations, and support functions, all of which pose risks to our operations and success. Specifically, these operations and activities expose us to risks that include but may not be limited to financial, research and development, regulatory, IT/data/technology, staffing, compliance, legal, and also environmental risks. In order to assure that we are positioned to effectively identify and mitigate the potential impacts of these risks, Genmab has dedicated resources toward enabling its ERM framework under the Global Compliance & Risk function that reports directly to the CEO. In concert with a refreshed Code of Conduct, company policies and procedures, Genmab has chartered a Global Compliance and Risk Governance Committee (GCRC) co-chaired by the CEO and the head of Compliance & Risk. Genmab has also updated its risk model and framework to include enhanced risk oversight, mitigation, governance, and reporting, all of which we believe positions us to better manage the risks associated with our business, now and into the future.

Enterprise Risk Management

Effective ERM starts with strong governance

  • Board and Audit and Finance Committee: Board delegates ERM/Risk oversight to the Audit and Finance Committee but retains visibility of ERM progress. The Audit and Finance Committee is accountable to ensure management appropriately manages the risks to the business.
  • Executive Management: Maintains ultimate ownership of and accountability for management of top risks, enabling proper linkage of risk management to strategic initiatives and business decisions.
  • GCRC: Validates risk identification, prioritization, strategic and tactical ownership of risk mitigation plans and reporting.
  • ERM Framework: Routinely gathers risks, evaluates with risk sponsors, prioritizes, and reports to the GCRC, Executive Management and Board, driving risk discussions, and supporting risk sponsors and management in facilitating ERM processes, risk-intelligent decision-making, and key risk capabilities.
  • Risk Sponsors and Business Champions: Manage risks in the normal course of business, executing risk plans/mitigation activities, and monitoring and reporting key risk information.

Corporate Governance

Genmab works diligently to improve its guidelines and policies for corporate governance, taking into account the recent trends in international and domestic requirements and recommendations. Genmab’s commitment to corporate governance is based on ethics and integrity and forms the basis of its effort to strengthen the confidence that existing and future shareholders, partners, employees, and other stakeholders have in Genmab. The role of shareholders and their interaction with Genmab is important. Genmab believes that open and transparent communication is necessary to maintain the confidence of Genmab’s shareholders and achieves this through company announcements, investor meetings and company presentations. Genmab is committed to providing reliable and transparent information about its business, financial results, development programs and scientific results in a clear and timely manner. All Danish companies listed on the Nasdaq Copenhagen are required to disclose in their annual reports how they address the Recommendations for Corporate Governance issued by the Committee on Corporate Governance in December 2020 (the “Recommendations”), applying the “comply-or-explain” principle.# Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Other Information

Management’s Review

Genmab follows the Recommendations, except for one specific sub-area where Genmab’s corporate governance principles differ from the Recommendations:

  • The Recommendations provide that according to a company’s takeover contingency procedures, the Board abstains from countering any takeover bids by taking actions that seek to prevent the shareholders from deciding on the takeover bid, without the approval of the general meeting. Genmab does not have such a restriction in its takeover contingency procedures and retains the right in certain circumstances to reject takeover bids without consulting the shareholders. Genmab believes this provides the Board with the needed flexibility to best respond to takeover bids and to negotiate with bidders; retaining this flexibility helps the Board meet its objectives in protecting and creating value in the interest of the shareholders. Actions will be determined on a case-by-case basis with due consideration of the interests of the shareholders and other stakeholders.

Genmab publishes its statutory report on Corporate Governance for the financial year 2024 cf. Article 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act (“Lovpligtig redegørelse for virksomhedsledelse jf. årsregnskabslovens § 107 b”) on the Company’s website, including a detailed description of the Board’s consideration in respect of all the Recommendations. The statutory report on Corporate Governance can be found on Genmab’s website https://ir.genmab.com/corporate-governance.

The Board of Directors

The Board is responsible for setting the overall strategy and goals for Genmab and monitoring its operations and results. Board duties include establishing policies for strategy, accounting, organization and finance and the appointment of Executive Management members. The Board also assesses Genmab’s capital and share structure and is responsible for approving share issues and the grant of warrants and RSUs.

The Board has established an annual process whereby the Board’s performance is assessed through self-evaluation to verify that the Board is capable of fulfilling its function and responsibilities. When performing these evaluations external assistance is obtained every year. The outcome of the Board‘s 2024 self- assessment was positive with only minor areas for improvement identified.

Board Committees

To support the Board in its duties, the Board has established and appointed a Compensation Committee, an Audit and Finance Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and a Scientific Committee. These committees are charged with reviewing issues pertaining to their respective fields that are due to be considered at Board meetings. Written charters specifying the tasks and responsibilities for each of the committees are available on Genmab’s website www.genmab.com.

For more details on the work, composition and evaluation of the Board and its committees, reference is made to the statutory report on Corporate Governance.

Remuneration Policy

A Remuneration Policy applying to the compensation of members of the Board and the registered Executive Management of Genmab A/S has been prepared in accordance with Sections 139 and 139a of the Danish Companies Act and was most recently considered and adopted by the 2024 Annual General Meeting pursuant to the Danish Companies Act (in Danish “Selskabsloven”). The Remuneration Policy contains an exhaustive description of the remuneration components for members of the Board and the registered Executive Management and includes the reasons for choosing the individual components of the remuneration and a description of the criteria on which the balance between the individual components of the remuneration is based. The latest version can be downloaded from Genmab’s website https://ir.genmab.com/compensation.

Compensation Report

In accordance with the Recommendations, Genmab has prepared a compensation report for the financial year 2024 that includes information on the total remuneration received by each member of the Board and the registered Executive Management of Genmab A/S for the last four years, including information on the most important content of retention and resignation arrangements and the correlation between the remuneration and company strategy and relevant related goals (the “Compensation Report”). The Compensation Report can be found on Genmab’s website https://ir.genmab.com/compensation.

Collaboration, Development and License Agreements

Genmab has entered into collaboration, development and license agreements with external parties, which may be subject to renegotiation in the case of a change of control event as specified in the individual agreements.

Service Agreements with Executive Management and Employees

The service agreements with each registered member of the Executive Management may be terminated by Genmab with no less than 12 months’ notice and by the registered member of the Executive Management with no less than six months’ notice. In the event of a change of control of Genmab, the termination notice due to the registered member of the Executive Management is extended to 24 months. In the event of termination by Genmab (unless for cause) or by a registered member of Executive Management as a result of a change of control of Genmab, Genmab is obliged to pay a registered member of Executive Management a compensation equal to his/her existing total salary (including benefits) for up to two years in addition to the notice period. In addition, Genmab has entered into service agreements with a limited number of employees according to which Genmab may become obliged to compensate the employees in connection with a change of control of Genmab. If Genmab, as a result of a change of control, terminates the service agreement without cause or changes the working conditions to the detriment of the employee, the employee shall be entitled to terminate the employment relationship without further cause with one month’s notice in which case Genmab shall pay the employee a compensation equal to one-half, one or two times the employee’s existing annual salary (including benefits).

Change of control clauses related to our warrant and RSU programs are outlined in Note 4.6.

Share capital

Information on share capital is included in Note 4.7.

Sustainability Statements

1.1 Basis for presentation

General basis for preparation of the sustainability statement (BP-1)

Frameworks

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) directs public companies to report in line with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) starting on or after January 1, 2024. As a result, this 2024 annual report marks the first year in which Genmab is reporting in accordance with this directive and the underlying reporting standards. Genmab’s sustainability statements have been prepared in compliance with the ESRS as required by sections 99a of the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Consolidation

The sustainability statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis in line with our consolidated financial statements; therefore, the disclosures comprise the Genmab A/S (parent company) and its subsidiaries. The E1 disclosures in particular have been consolidated on the basis of both financial and operational control. The sustainability statements cover Genmab’s own operations and upstream and downstream value chains, where material, specifically regarding disclosures around impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs), policies, actions, targets and metrics. Genmab has not omitted any specific pieces of information corresponding to intellectual property, know-how or the results of innovation nor used the exemption from disclosure of impending developments or matters in the course of negotiation.

Disclosures in relation to specific circumstances (BP-2)

Disclosures Stemming from Other Regulation
Genmab’s sustainability statements also comply with sections 99d and 107(d) of the Danish Financial Statements Act. Refer to Appendix A for a full overview.

Accounting Policies

Genmab’s accounting policies have been applied, in all material respects, consistently in the financial year and for comparative figures.

Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Genmab uses estimates and judgements for the reporting of certain data points related to our Scope 3 emissions, which are detailed in the relevant accounting policies. Quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inherently involves significant uncertainty due to the complexity of natural and anthropogenic systems. Measurement challenges arise from factors such as variability in emissions sources, accuracy of data and assumptions in emission factors. We regularly reassess our use of estimates and judgements based on experience, the development of sustainability reporting, and a number of other factors. Changes in estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate in question is revised. In addition, we make judgements when we apply the accounting policies. Refer to the quantitative data tables in the sustainability statements for further information on accounting policies, key estimates, judgements, and assumptions applied.

Incorporation by Reference

Genmab’s management report consists of a Management’s Review section and these sustainability statements which reports disclosure requirements from the ESRS. Our sustainability statements are structured into four overall sections: ‘General Information,’ ‘Environmental,’ ‘Social,’ and ‘Governance.’ Genmab has chosen to incorporate some of the strategy and governance disclosures from the cross-cutting standard ESRS 2 in the Management’s Review as we believe this information is best read in close connection with our Financial Review and overview of our activities. Where incorporation by reference is used to refer outside of these sustainability statements, it is clearly defined. Genmab considers forward-looking information including targets disclosed in the sustainability statements to be uncertain.

1.2 Governance

The role of the administrative, management and supervisory bodies (GOV-1), and information provided to, and sustainability matters addressed by the undertaking’s administrative, management and supervisory bodies (GOV-2)

At Genmab, sustainability governance is ingrained in our overall corporate governance framework, reflecting our commitment to integrating sustainable practices into all aspects of our business. Genmab’s sustainability governance structure is robust, with clear roles and responsibilities defined at various levels of the organization. At the highest level, the Board (which includes 0 executive members and 9 non-executive members) oversees sustainability strategy and performance, ensuring alignment with Genmab’s long-term business objectives and stakeholder expectations. The Board receives updates on CSR and sustainability initiatives at least annually, has oversight of material impacts, risks, and opportunities (IROs) and targets identified by Genmab, and enables informed decision-making that incorporates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. It is the Board’s aim to maintain an equitable gender representation in the Board. As of December 31, 2024, the six shareholder-elected board members are evenly split between 50% male (three persons) and 50% female (three persons) which constitutes equal gender representation in accordance with the guidelines from the Danish Business Authority. As of December 31, 2024, at the Board level, five or 56%, are independent, and four or 44%, are not independent. In accordance with the Danish corporate governance recommendations, we consider shareholder-elected board member Anders Gersel Pedersen non-independent solely by virtue of the length of his tenure on our Board, following his election to the Board in 2003. Also, the three employee-elected board members are non-independent. Our Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees our corporate governance, CSR, ESG and sustainability efforts and provides recommendations to the Board on corporate governance, CSR, ESG and sustainability matters. Additionally, the Board’s Audit and Finance Committee oversees our sustainability reporting requirements.

Management’s Review
Sustainability Statements

Within the management structure, Genmab has established a dedicated CSR & Sustainability Committee, which is co-chaired by our CEO and SVP of Global Communications and Corporate Affairs and is comprised of senior leaders from relevant functional areas, such as research and development, operations, compliance and risk, legal, human resources, and finance. This committee is responsible for setting strategic priorities, management of material IROs and targets, and monitoring progress towards sustainability goals. It also facilitates cross-functional collaboration to drive innovation and continuous improvement in sustainability performance. Under the CSR & Sustainability Committee, Genmab has established a Corporate Sustainability Team comprised of Genmab employees responsible for driving the double materiality assessment process including the identification of material impacts, risks and opportunities, targets/goals, actions and metrics, and the collection and documentation of relevant data for sustainability reporting requirements. The Corporate Sustainability Team coordinates with internal stakeholders (other Genmab employees) responsible for integrating sustainability strategy into business operations. The Corporate Sustainability Team is responsible for monitoring and reporting on progress towards targets at least annually. Sustainability reporting is approved annually by Executive Management (which includes 9 executive members and 0 non-executive members) and the Board. Executive Management and the Board have significant global expertise in the pharmaceutical, biotech and life sciences industries with specific expertise in Environmental, Social and Governance matters. Further, Genmab has access to experts and has utilized the expertise of outside consultants in preparing its DMA and with regards to environmental matters. Refer to the biographies in the “Board of Directors” and “Executive Management” sections in Management’s Review for an understanding of the relevant experience (including sustainability- related expertise). Genmab maintains transparent communication channels with stakeholders, including investors and proxy advisors, employees, customers, suppliers, and the broader community, regarding its sustainability efforts. Genmab regularly discloses sustainability-related information through various channels, such as annual reports, investor presentations and engagement sessions. By fostering dialogue and incorporating feedback from stakeholders, Genmab ensures that its sustainability initiatives are responsive to evolving expectations and societal needs. For Business Conduct matters, the leaders of our Global Compliance, Data Privacy, and Enterprise Risk Management Programs report directly to the CEO and the Board. Overall, sustainability governance at Genmab is characterized by proactive leadership, robust oversight, and stakeholder engagement, reflecting our commitment to creating long-term value while contributing positively to society and the environment. Refer to the “Corporate Governance” section in Management’s Review for additional information on governance structure. Refer to section SBM-3 for a list of the material impacts, risks and opportunities addressed by management and those charged with governance during the reporting period.# Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Management’s Review

Sustainability-related performance in incentive schemes (GOV-3)

Per Genmab’s Remuneration Policy, the variable compensation of the Executive Management is based on the achievement of specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and performance goals that relate to the performance of each executive member and to Genmab A/S’ short and long-term business results. The KPIs and performance goals that the Board sets for the purposes of Genmab A/S’ incentive arrangements — both annual and share-based — are directly linked to the business strategy and our annual business plans. The KPIs/performance goals may be financial, operational, and/or strategic and organizational. The KPIs/performance goals are recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board.

Genmab grants restricted stock units (RSUs) to Executive Management which are performance-based and include sustainability- related performance goals, whereas RSUs granted to the Board are not performance-based and do not include sustainability-related performance goals. The key characteristics of the sustainability- related performance goals are tied to Climate, Diversity and Employee Well-Being targets with equal weighting against the overall goals of 10% for the 2024 and 2023 grants, and 15% for the 2022 grant. Share-based compensation granted is at a 4x target multiplier with maximum opportunity of 6x multiplier with no cap in 2024 and 2023, compared to a 2.4x target multiplier with 4x maximum with a grant date fair value cap of DKK 25 million in 2022.

In 2025, Genmab plans to remove gender diversity balance targets from executive management performance criteria in future grants. Refer to sections E1-4 and S1-5 for targets linked to Executive Management incentive compensation.

Total remuneration to registered Executive Management in 2024 was DKK 79.9 million. The proportion of total remuneration to registered Executive Management in 2024 linked to climate-related performance goals was DKK 1.8 million, or 2%. Total variable remuneration to registered Executive Management in 2024 was DKK 63.4 million and comprises annual cash bonus and share-based compensation expense. The proportion of variable remuneration to registered Executive Management in 2024 linked to all sustainability-related performance goals was DKK 5.7 million, or 9%. Refer to Note 5.1 in the consolidated financial statements for details.

e) Tracking the effectiveness of these efforts and communicating ESRS 2 MDR-M: E1-4; ESRS 2 MDR-T: E1-4 Environment

Risk management and internal controls over sustainability reporting (GOV-5)

Genmab assesses potential risks related to sustainability mainly through our CSR & Sustainability Committee but also as part of Genmab’s Enterprise Risk Program led by our Head of Global Compliance and Risk who reports directly to our CEO, both of which are members of the CSR & Sustainability Committee. Clearly defined sustainability governance aids the overall risk management process. The Board has a supervisory duty and Executive Management has overall responsibility for Genmab’s risk management and internal controls in relation to sustainability reporting processes.

Genmab evaluates how sustainability-related risks could affect operations, reputation, and financial performance. Genmab has also implemented processes to ensure the accuracy and reliability of sustainability data collected from various internal stakeholders/departments, which help maintain transparency and traceability of reported information. Genmab aligns its sustainability reporting with recognized frameworks to ensure consistency and comparability, and engages with stakeholders to gather feedback and ensure reporting meets their needs and expectations.

Internal and external audits are conducted of sustainability reporting processes to assess compliance with established controls and processes. Genmab has an Internal Audit function that reports to the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board and administratively reports to the CFO, and any findings would be communicated through this channel at least annually. The Corporate Sustainability Team integrates the findings of its risk assessment and internal controls regarding the sustainability reporting process into relevant internal functions and processes. Genmab’s external auditor provides limited assurance on Genmab’s sustainability statements.

Genmab provides training to employees on sustainability issues, related risk management practices and reporting responsibilities to foster a culture of accountability. These components collectively help Genmab manage risks effectively and ensure the integrity of its sustainability reporting. Refer to Risk Management section in Management’s Review for the followed risk assessment approach including the risk prioritization methodology, details of risks identified and mitigation strategies, and related controls.

Interests and views of stakeholders (SBM-2)

As an international biotech company, Genmab engages continuously with a diverse range of stakeholders, all of whom have a vested interest in our business practices. This engagement is crucial to our success and reinforces our commitment to benefiting both our direct stakeholders and society as a whole. Through ongoing dialogue, we seek to understand their perspectives, concerns, and expectations. These interactions inform our sustainability efforts, due diligence processes and double materiality assessments, ensuring that our actions align with the needs and insights of those we serve.

The views and interests of affected key stakeholders regarding our sustainability-related impacts are regularly communicated to our CSR & Sustainability Committee through periodic meetings. For all key stakeholders listed in the table, Genmab listens to the views of stakeholders through engagement and takes these views into account, which has led to the outcomes disclosed.

1.4 Impact, risk and opportunity management

Process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities (IRO-1)

A cornerstone element of the CSRD and ESRS is the concept of double materiality for sustainability matters. The concept of double materiality means that a sustainability matter can have an inside-out impact (i.e., an impact that Genmab has or can have on people and/or the environment — this is called ‘impact materiality’) or an outside-in impact (i.e., a (actual/potential) financial impact (risk/opportunity) from a sustainability matter on Genmab — this is called ‘financial materiality’). Genmab performed a double materiality assessment (DMA) for the first time as part of our 2024 sustainability reporting and we look forward to incorporating our sustainability strategy in our day-to-day business operations over the coming year(s). From a governance perspective, the Corporate Sustainability Team drove the execution of the DMA. The approach for and outcomes of the double materiality were extensively discussed with and approved by Executive Management and our Board and its relevant Committees. Refer to GOV-1 and GOV-2 for further details on the governance structure with regards to sustainability.

Scope

The scope of the DMA entailed the parent company, Genmab A/S, and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as well as our upstream and downstream value chain.

Material topics

Genmab engaged a sustainability consultancy firm to assist in the performance of a DMA in accordance with the CSRD and the underlying ESRS. During this process, which involved numerous internal and external stakeholders, we determined seven (7) topics, sub-topics or sub-sub topics to be material for Genmab. These seven material topics link to four (4) of the standards (ESRS E1, S1, S4 and G1).

Non-material topics

Genmab screened site locations and assets across Denmark, the Netherlands, the U.S., Japan and China including business activities and considering all Application Requirement 16 topics, determined ESRS E2, E3, E4, E5, S1 (specific to other work-related rights), S2 and S3 to be not material from an impact or financial perspective. In our analysis, we considered our own operations and upstream and downstream value chain and were not aware of any material matters to disclose in our sustainability statements. We surveyed internal stakeholders and external stakeholders and performed desk research, held workshops and deep-dive sessions, and noted no issues triggering these topics to be material for Genmab. E4 followed the same approach as above and as such we did not perform a detailed assessment to identify related IROs.

The process of how the DMA was performed, and description of how we arrived at these material topics is described below.

Value chain analysis and stakeholder selection

As an initial step, Genmab defined our value chain and key stakeholders, focusing both on our own operations, as well as on our value chain. We conducted desk research that included peer reviews on sustainability topics and research on the relevance of sustainability topics for the pharmaceutical sector. Based on the outcomes of this mapping exercise and desk research, we determined initial topics for the longlist used in the double materiality analysis. We selected internal stakeholders from across our business operations to provide coverage across all ESRS topics, sub-topics, and sub-sub- topics. Given the global scope of our business, we included internal stakeholders from across all our locations. We interviewed external stakeholders representing at least one across each of the following: patient associations, investors, collaboration partners, sector organizations and civil society organizations. The input of these external stakeholders, combined with the expertise of the internal stakeholders, provided valuable insights.# Longlist and validation

Following the analysis as described above, a longlist of material topics was prepared. This longlist was based on the guidance provided by the ESRS (ESRS 1 — Application Requirement 16), further complemented by insights from the value chain and stakeholder analyses, other regulatory frameworks, and desktop peer review. Based on this longlist, both impact materiality and financial materiality were assessed through surveys, interviews, and workshops. The combination of these three methods ensured coverage of the broad range of stakeholders and provided room to fine-tune the outcomes to reflect any (regional) nuances during the workshops. The surveys provided input from a broad audience and led to initial scoring. Internal and external interviews conducted before the workshops and after the workshops provided expert insight and guidance to validate outcomes. Refer below for further detail on the execution of the impact materiality and financial materiality analyses.

Double Materiality

The ESRS prescribes companies to assess topics that are material to the business from an impact and/or financial perspective. The following paragraphs describe the methodology Genmab used to assess both impact and financial materiality.

Impact Materiality

ESRS 1, ‘General Requirements,’ highlights the indicators that companies should consider in assessing their impacts on sustainability matters. The assessment of impacts is aligned with other international standards, such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Guidelines. International standards prescribe that impacts should be rated based on their severity. The concept of severity is based on the factors scale, scope, and irremediable character of the impact. In case of positive impacts, scoring irremediability is unnecessary. For Genmab, all the mentioned individual factors were rated on a scale of 1 to 5, based on which an average score was calculated. In case of potential impacts, participants also rated likelihood on a scale of 0 to 1. For actual impacts, the likelihood is automatically scored as 1 since the likelihood has already been proven. For completeness’ sake, we note that for potential negative impacts regarding human rights, severity took precedence over likelihood as also prescribed by the ESRS. Other indicators that are prescribed by the ESRS for the assessment of impact materiality include: the topic’s location in the value chain (own operations, upstream or downstream), and whether the impact pertains to the undertaking in the short-, medium- or long-term scored as time horizons.

To summarize, all longlisted sustainability matters were scored using the following indicators: (i) the topic’s location in the value chain (own operations, upstream or downstream), (ii) whether it is an actual or potential impact, (iii) whether it is a positive or negative impact, (iv) time horizons, and (v) scale, scope and irremediability of the impacts. For a matter to be considered as impact material, we have used a relative threshold — i.e., we have used the average score for impact materiality based on the five-point scale and set the threshold a full point higher.

Financial Materiality

During the preparation of the longlist, as well as during the workshops, we considered impacts and dependencies with the risks and opportunities that may arise from these impacts and dependencies through extensively discussing the sustainability topic at hand and what impact it could have on Genmab and our business. The scoring of financial materiality is largely similar to impact materiality; however, instead of focusing on impacts, financial materiality is based on risks and opportunities. Risks and opportunities are scored on the basis of magnitude (scale of 1 to 5), and likelihood (scale of 0 to 1). Participants also assess time horizons and location in the value chain. For a matter to be considered as financial material, we initially used a similar relative threshold as for impact materiality: the average financial materiality score based on the five-point scale plus a full point. Our final results used a mix of qualitative and quantitative factors and our financial statement materiality level to conclude on material topics.

Validation

The survey outcomes were discussed with internal stakeholders during the workshops and deep-dive sessions. Where needed, changes and/or nuances were made. To further align and validate the outcomes of the DMA, these were presented to external stakeholders and internal interviews were conducted with subject matter experts. All identified sustainability-related risks have been identified in prior year reporting under our ERM framework and continue to be updated and prioritized in line with other risks identified. The final DMA for 2024 has been approved and adopted by the Board with the filing of this Annual Report.

Action

While conducting the DMA in 2024, we further integrated the various aspects of the DMA into our business. We focused on setting meaningful and appropriate targets for our material topics including defining the data gathering processes. With our dedicated Corporate Sustainability Team, we intend to monitor our performance over the coming years, while remaining agile and current with our double materiality assessment (e.g., following acquisitions or other major business changes).

Disclosure requirements in ESRS covered by the sustainability statement (IRO-2)

Following the outcome of our DMA, Genmab compiled a list of disclosure requirements including the page numbers and/or paragraphs where the related disclosures are located in the sustainability statements. This is presented as content indexes in the General, Environmental, Social and Governance sections of the sustainability statements. Genmab has determined the material information to be disclosed in relation to the impacts, risks and opportunities assessed to be material, utilizing a mix of qualitative and quantitative factors and our financial statement materiality level. Genmab also included a table of datapoints derived from other EU legislation in the appendices to the sustainability statements.

Environmental

As a leading international biotech company, we recognize the responsibility we have to protect our planet and its natural resources, as well as the health and safety of our team members, business partners and society as a whole. By conducting our business in a safe and sustainable manner, we aim to reduce our environmental impact by refining our processes and incorporating best practices into our own operations and value chain, where applicable. To achieve this, our environmental strategy focuses on monitoring and evaluating targets for environmental activities, measuring our impact and communicating our progress.

Climate change adaptation and mitigation is material due to GHG emissions primarily in our value chain, but also in our own operations, which has a negative impact on the environment with transitional and physical risks associated. Genmab has adaptation and mitigation efforts aligned with the Paris Agreement for a future where warming is kept at 1.5°C. Genmab is committed to reducing GHG emissions to limit the global warming the planet is facing. In line with our ambitions to reduce Scope 3 emissions through supplier engagement, Genmab has an opportunity to reduce GHG emissions in our upstream value chain by setting clear expec- tations and requirements, providing incentives and setting goals, which could lead to more efficient production processes and cost savings for both Genmab and its suppliers. In terms of our own operations, Genmab plans to reduce emissions by sourcing electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, or geothermal power. Genmab has an opportunity to reduce emissions by actively investing in renewable energy procurement through power purchase agreements (PPAs), green tariffs, or direct ownership of renewable energy assets which could mitigate climate change risks relating to carbon taxation. Genmab can decrease the carbon intensity of its electricity consumption by contracting with renewable energy providers or investing in onsite renewable energy projects. This not only helps in reducing emissions, but also supports the growth of renewable energy markets and contributes to broader sustainability goals. Genmab has an opportunity to reduce GHG emissions and promote health in the context of climate change through various initiatives targeting employee behavior and operational practices. We aim to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions by implementing sustainable practices in laboratories in line with MyGreenLab recommendations. Additionally, we encourage employees to minimize air travel to lower GHG emissions while ensuring business continuity, supported by guidelines that have been in place for several years. Furthermore, establishing remote work policies and promoting alternative commuting methods, such as biking, carpooling, and public transit, can contribute to decreasing GHG emissions associated with employee commuting, fostering a healthier environment for all and could lead to cost savings.

Genmab 2024 Annual Report Management’s Review Sustainability Statements

Energy consumption

Genmab utilizes 61% renewable energy at our state-of-the-art buildings; therefore, there is a negative impact in terms of non- renewable energy usage with risk associated with our energy mix; however, there is room to achieve 100% renewable energy usage at all of our locations. Genmab has an opportunity to increase energy efficiency in the procurement of new locations as operations expand in the future and major renovations to existing locations which could lead to financial savings on operational expenses. Refer to E1-5 for energy mix and consumption table.

Generation of energy from onsite solar panels

Genmab also has a positive impact from generation of energy through solar panels at our headquarters in Denmark and certain R&D locations in the Netherlands. Refer to E1-4 for climate change targets.

Genmab’s Resilience to Climate Change

Genmab’s resilience analysis was conducted qualitatively in 2021, incorporating climate scenarios based on key reports from authorita- tive bodies such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). No material changes to the analysis were identified in 2024, 2023 or 2022. The analysis was conducted by assessing climate-related impacts across Genmab’s entire value chain, including supply chains, operations, energy consumption, and logistics. This resilience analysis helps inform Genmab’s strategic planning, risk management, and financial planning processes, ensuring that climate-related risks and opportunities are integrated into the company’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework.

Genmab utilized two scenarios to explore potential transition and physical risks at a Paris Agreement aligned 1.5–2°C and a high emissions scenario at 4°C warming levels, considering both short-term (2030) and medium-to-long-term (2040/2050) time horizons in alignment with Genmab’s strategic planning horizons and its GHG emissions reduction targets.

  • The 1.5–2°C scenario assumes a transition to a low-carbon economy in line with global climate targets. This scenario evaluates risks and opportunities arising from regulatory actions such as carbon taxation, low-carbon technology adoption, and evolving consumer preferences toward sustainability.
  • The 4°C scenario represents a business-as- usual pathway with high emissions and limited global mitigation efforts, leading to more severe physical risks such as extreme weather events, flooding, and disruptions to supply chains.

The key assumptions for the resilience analysis include the transition to a low-carbon economy, macroeconomic trends, energy consumption and mix, technology deployment and time horizons. Based on the scenario analysis, Genmab iden- tified several potential physical risks, transition risks and opportunities for both the 1.5–2°C and 4°C warming scenarios across short-term and medium/long-term time frames. The identified physical and transition risks and opportunities were evaluated based on likelihood, magnitude and duration to Genmab’s operations and taking into account Genmab’s physical geographical locations at the time of conducting the analysis. No aspects of Genmab’s business were identified as incompatible with a transition to a climate neutral economy.

  • Key physical risks to Genmab’s business activities and assets identified in the scenarios: Disruption of supply chain and operations from extreme weather events, increased cooling costs from more frequent and severe heat waves, increased costs of raw materials due to changes in weather patterns and extreme weather events, operations and supply chain disruption from coastal flooding and damage to physical assets and inventory.
  • Key transition risks to Genmab’s business activities identified in the scenarios: Global carbon taxation and pricing impacting costs and financial returns, investor focus on climate performance limiting access to capital and investment, competition for talent in scientific and innovative fields becomes increasingly linked to climate performance, and cost of compliance with fragmented and drastic regulatory intervention.

While the scenario analysis identified potential physical and transition risks, the risk related to the Environment was identified as the material risk to Genmab. Refer to the Risk Management section in Management’s Review for risks related to the Environment.

Genmab has committed to a science-aligned emissions reduction target aligned with the Paris Agreement, aimed at reducing its GHG emissions in line with the global goal to limit warming to 1.5°C. This target plays a critical role in mitigating both transition and physical risks

by guiding risk mitigation, reducing exposure to physical risks and enhancing resilience to market shifts. Uncertainties within the resilience analysis included climate projections under the scenarios and regulatory evolution over time. Genmab’s resilience analysis, underpinned by qualitative scenario analysis and guided by a science-aligned emissions reduction target, high- lights the company’s preparedness by adapting our strategy for both transition and physical climate risks in the medium and long term. The science-aligned emissions reduction target offers a clear pathway for mitigating these risks while also seizing opportunities associated with the transition to a low-carbon economy. Through its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Genmab is not only reducing its exposure to climate risks but also positioning itself for long-term business success in an increasingly climate- conscious world.

2.1 E1 Climate Change Strategy

Transition plan for climate change mitigation (E1-1)

Genmab approaches climate change mitiga- tion through a comprehensive transition plan, addressing risks, setting targets, and engaging stakeholders including suppliers. We have assessed potential climate-related risks to our own operations and our value chain — See the Risk Management section in Management’s Review for further details. We have established science-aligned emissions reductions targets for reducing GHG emissions across our own operations and our value chain, aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5°C, and we have set targets for GHG emission reduction.

Genmab plans to reduce GHG emissions by:

  • engaging with suppliers and partners to ensure ongoing decarbonization of our value chain,
  • sourcing electricity from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, or geothermal power, and
  • encouraging and inspiring behavioral changes for our employees to reduce emissions from lab operations, business travel and employee commuting

Genmab’s transition plan is embedded in and aligned with our overall business strategy including our financial planning. Refer to “Our Strategy” section in Management’s Review for details. The transition plan is reviewed through our governance model and is approved by Executive Management and Board. Refer E1-4 for Genmab’s progress on the imple- mentation of the transition plan.## 2.2 E1 Climate Change IRO Management Policies related to climate change mitigation and adaptation (E1-2)

Genmab published its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy in 2023 which was adopted by the Board and includes a focus on environmental sustainability. In 2024, Genmab published an overarching Commitment to the Environment and Sustainability to manage material environmental sustainability matters including material IROs covering climate change adaptation and mitigation, and energy, and matters not material to Genmab including water and circular economy. The Commitment to the Environment and Sustainability was adopted by the CSR & Sustainability Committee on December 11, 2024.

Genmab’s Commitment to the Environment and Sustainability applies to all employees and contractors and all activities within Genmab’s operations. It extends to all regions where Genmab operates, recognizing diverse environmental challenges and opportunities.

Genmab’s CSR & Sustainability Committee, composed of cross-functional senior leaders, and co-lead by our CEO and SVP Communications & Corporate Affairs, is responsible for the oversight of Genmab’s Commitment to the Environment & Sustainability and implementation.

Genmab has included the perspectives of internal and external key experts and stakeholders in determining material environmental topics and in formulating Genmab’s Commitment to the Environment and Sustainability. Genmab’s Commitment to the Environment and Sustainability is available for our key stakeholders including our employees on our website (Genmab.com). Refer to the Commitment to the Environment and Sustainability on our website.

Actions and resources in relation to climate change policies (E1-3)

Engaged with suppliers to encourage them to set their own emissions targets

We engage in continuous dialogue on sustainability with our key suppliers so Genmab may meet our target as disclosed in E1-4. In 2024, Genmab benchmarked the climate ambitions of our top suppliers to provide a clear baseline and identify actions and hotspots for improvement. We had in-person and virtual engagement with key suppliers identified as significant sources of emissions. Genmab established formalized processes governing supplier engagement on climate change by incorporating specific climate change topics in the supplier onboarding and annual contract review.

Continued investment in Renewable Energy Procurement

In 2024, Genmab renegotiated an electricity contract to ensure that our sites continue towards our ambition of sourcing 100% renewable electricity to help mitigate our Scope 2 emissions. Refer to E1-5 and E1-6 for further details on energy usage and mix, and GHG emissions.

2.3 E1 Climate Metrics and Targets

Targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation (E1-4)

Genmab plans to minimize its carbon footprint across our business to align with a future where warming is kept at 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement. Genmab has considered a diverse range of climate scenarios when setting the targets. Specific targets consistent with Genmab’s GHG inventory are summarized below and relate to the gross reduction of GHG emissions:

  1. Develop and execute on sustainable climate-related strategy by 2025
    The development and execution of a sustainable climate-related strategy by 2025 is critical to ensuring that we align our operations with global climate targets. By disclosing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in the 2023 annual reporting, Genmab has already laid the groundwork for transparency and accountability of our environmental impact. Building on this foundation, in 2024, Genmab achieved the development of a comprehensive climate strategy, with a clear commitment to climate targets aligned with the Paris Agreement. Executing this strategy will involve taking tangible actions toward GHG emissions reductions, with partial progress on Scope 1 and 2 reductions expected by the end of 2025. By executing these steps, Genmab plans to not only meet regulatory expectations but also contribute to global efforts to combat climate change toward a sustainable future for both our operations and the planet.
    1. Executive Management received RSU grants in 2023 with performance linked to developing and executing on a sustainable climate-related strategy.
  2. Executive Management received RSU grants in 2024 with performance linked to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission reductions by 42% by 2030 from a 2021 base year. The grant occurred prior to our base year update to 2024 due to significant changes in our structure and corresponding emissions (ProfoundBio acquisition in May 2024) and achievement will be assessed prior to base year update.
  3. Executive Management received RSU grants in 2024 with performance linked to supplier engagement ensuring two thirds of suppliers by spend committed to a Paris Agreement aligned climate target by 2030.

  4. Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42% through a reduction in Scope 2 emissions by 2030 from a 2024 base year
    Genmab intends to achieve a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market-based) GHG emissions by 2030 compared to a 2024 baseline year by sourcing renewable electricity at our facilities.

  5. Ensure 70% of suppliers by spend covering upstream purchases goods and services, capital goods and upstream transportation commit to have Science Based Targets (SBT) by 2030
    Genmab intends to indirectly mitigate GHG emission impacts to the environment by 2030 through supplier engagement and responsible sourcing practices by ensuring at least 70% of our largest suppliers by spend (operating expenses), covering upstream purchased goods and services, capital goods and upstream transportation, commit to have science-based targets by 2030.

  6. Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2024 base year
    Genmab intends to reduce Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2024 base year to contribute to the obtainment of the ambitions laid out in the 2015 Paris Agreement by sourcing renewable electricity and switching to cleaner heating sources.

Refer to section GOV-3 for climate related targets related to Executive Management incentive compensation. In 2022, Executive Management was granted RSUs linked to Genmab’s climate target to ensure 100% renewable electricity was achieved across all major operating sites, which at the time of grants included our headquarters in Denmark and sites in the Netherlands, the U.S. and Japan. As of December 31, 2024, all major operating sites under the RSU grant achieved 100% renewable electricity.

Energy consumption and mix (E1-5)

  1. Total renewable energy consumption (MWh) (calculated as the sum of lines 3 to 5)
  2. Total energy consumption (MWh) (calculated as the sum of lines 1, 2 and 6)

Total energy consumption is accounted for by combining both renewable and non-renewable energy sources used across our operations. We measure energy consumption in megawatt-hours (MWh), incorporating data from energy management systems and utility invoices to ensure accuracy. Renewable energy includes wind, solar, hydro and other sustainable sources which are supported by contractual agreements such as Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), while non-renewable energy encompasses fossil fuels and grid electricity. This comprehensive approach allows us to monitor our overall energy usage effectively and conduct annual reviews of our consumption data to validate its completeness and reliability, ensuring compliance with relevant reporting standards and reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.

Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and total GHG emissions (E1-6)

Genmab calculates its Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions in accordance with the requirements of ESRS E1 Climate Change, considering the principles, requirements and guidance provided by the GHG Protocol.

Accounting Policies

Scope 1 GHG Emissions
Scope 1 GHG emissions refer to the direct GHG emissions from sources that are financially or operationally (as required by ESRS 1) controlled by Genmab at our headquarters, office, laboratory and preclinical development space across all Genmab locations. Direct GHG emissions is comprised of the sum of greenhouse gases, which are converted to CO 2 equivalents (CO 2 eq). The GHG emissions arise from the combustion of fuel products and leakage of refrigerants. To calculate GHG emissions the newest version of DEFRA GHG Conversion factors (2024) has been used.

Scope 2 GHG Emissions
Scope 2 GHG emissions refer to the indirect GHG emissions resulting from the generation of purchased energy that is used by Genmab at our headquarters, office, laboratory and preclinical development space across all Genmab locations. Scope 2 GHG emissions occur at the facility where the energy is generated, thus being classified as indirect GHG emissions. The GHG emissions are linked to the electricity and district heating consumption. Scope 2 location-based GHG emissions are calcu- lated by taking consumed energy multiplied with relevant location-based national emission factors provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA) (2023) and the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) (2023). Scope 2 market-based emissions are calculated by taking consumed energy multiplied with market-specific emission factors provided directly from the energy supplier. Renewable energy purchases and certificates are considered, when accounting for indirect GHG emissions, using the market-based approach.

Scope 3 GHG Emissions
Genmab has identified six categories, out of the 15 categories of Scope 3 GHG emissions defined by the GHG protocol, as relevant. The remaining nine categories are not separately reported on as they are either not applicable to Genmab or GHG emissions have been included in the other emission categories. Zero percent of Genmab’s Scope 3 GHG emissions are measured using primary data obtained from suppliers or other value chain partners. For spend-based calcula- tions, all spend in foreign currencies has been converted into USD using the average exchange rate for the year.

Category 1 — Purchased goods and services
Purchased goods and services include GHG emissions related to all spend from external suppliers, except for investment (CapEx), travel, and transportation and distribution spend, which are included in other Scope 3 catego- ries. Spend is converted into CO 2 eq emissions using the spend-based method by applying the Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model with US EPA emission factors (2022) to estimate GHG emissions (CO 2 eq).

Category 2 — Capital goods
Capital goods include GHG emissions related to investments in tangible assets (CapEx). Spend is converted into CO 2 eq emissions using the spend- based method by applying the Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model with US EPA emission factors (2022) to estimate GHG emissions (CO 2 eq).

Category 3 — Fuel and energy- related activities
Fuel and energy-related activities include all upstream Well-to-Tank (WTT) CO 2 eq emissions of purchased fuel and electricity and Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Loss of purchased electricity (beyond Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions). Electricity and fuel consumption are multiplied by DEFRA’s emission factors (2023 for fuel and 2021 for electricity) to estimate GHG emissions (CO 2 eq). The category primarily comprises upstream WTT and T&D emissions from electricity and WTT emissions from natural gas.

Category 4 — Upstream transportation and distribution
Upstream transportation and distribution include GHG emissions related to spend from external suppliers related to transportation and distribution of goods. Spend is converted into CO 2 eq emissions using the spend-based method by applying the Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model with US EPA emission factors (2022) to estimate GHG emissions (CO 2 eq).

Category 6 — Business travel
Business travel includes GHG emissions related to spend from external suppliers related to flights, ground transportation, hotel stays and meals in connection with business travel. Spend is converted into CO 2 eq emissions using the spend-based method by applying the Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model with US EPA emission factors (2022) to estimate GHG emissions (CO 2 eq).

Category 7 — Employee Commuting
Employee commuting includes GHG emissions related to employees’ commuting between their homes and the Genmab sites. GHG emissions are estimated using the average data method and based on assumptions across our locations.

Percentage of Scope 1 GHG emissions from regulated emission trading schemes not applicable to Genmab.
2. Scope 3 GHG emissions categories excluded from the inventory include 5 – Waste generated in operations as it is included in category 1, 8 – Upstream leased assets, 9 – Downstream transportation and distribution, 10 – Processing of sold products, 11 – Use of products sold, 13 – Downstream leased assets and 14 – Franchises as they are all not applicable to Genmab, and 12 – End-of-life treatment of sold products and 15 – Investments as they are not material. Further, there are no emission reduction target percentages for Scope 3 GHG emissions. Refer to E1-4 for environmental targets.
3. Annual % Target/Base Year represents the actual reduction target for 2030 (or 42%) over six years.

2.4 EU Taxonomy Disclosures pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852

The EU Taxonomy is a classification system designed to provide a framework for identi- fying sustainable economic activities. It helps companies and investors distinguish between activities that contribute to environmental sustainability by establishing a common language for defining what constitutes “green” or sustainable business practices. The EU Taxonomy plays a role in supporting the transition towards a more sustainable economy. In line with Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy and the Disclosure Delegated Act (EU) 2021/2178, Genmab is required to report on the sustainability profile of its activities, specifically focusing on the eligibility and alignment of its Turnover, Capital Expenditures (CapEx) and Operating Expenditures (OpEx).

Eligibility: We screened our economic activities against those outlined in the Taxonomy, identifying eligible Turnover, CapEx and OpEx.

  • Turnover — We assessed turnover based on the net product sales of pharmaceutical products. We concluded that turnover from the sale of EPKINLY qualifies under the Manufacture of Medicinal Products (#1.2) activity, in line with the Taxonomy criteria for Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC). We did not include turnover from the sale of EPKINLY as eligible activities in 2023 as EPKINLY launched in the U.S. in May 2023 and Japan in September 2023.
  • CapEx — Our assessment focused on investments that align with Taxonomy-eligible activities. We identified one eligible project under Renovation of Buildings (#7.2) in line with the Taxonomy criteria for Climate Change Mitigation (CCM).
  • OpEx — We evaluated the eligibility of our OpEx by reviewing the eligible economic activities outlined in its Statement of Profit or Loss and examining the data available to us from our ERP system. Based on this evaluation, we did not identify eligible OpEx.

Alignment: We assessed whether any of our Taxonomy- eligible Turnover or CapEx for economic activities 1.2 and 7.2 could be considered Taxonomy- aligned; however, we were not able to obtain enough evidence to conclude alignment with the ‘Substantial contribution’ and ‘Do No Significant Harm’ (DNSH) criteria.

Accounting Policies

Turnover: Total Turnover consists of total revenue as disclosed in Note 2.1 in the consolidated financial statements. The Turnover KPI represents the ratio of net product sales from taxonomy- eligible or taxonomy-aligned economic activities to the total revenue in a fiscal year.

CapEx: Total CapEx consists of additions to intangible assets, tangible assets and right-of-use assets during the fiscal year (refer to Notes 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, respectively) and considered before depre- ciation, amortization, and any re-measurements, including those resulting from revaluations and impairments, for the relevant financial year, excluding any fair value changes. Furthermore, total CapEx consists of any additions to tangible and intangible assets resulting from business combinations. The CapEx KPI represents the share of CapEx that is taxonomy-eligible or taxonomy-aligned divided by the total CapEx.

OpEx: Total OpEx includes direct non-capitalized costs that relate to research and development, building renovation measures, short-term lease, maintenance and repair, and any other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant and equipment by the undertaking or third party to whom activities are outsourced that are necessary to ensure the continued and effective functioning of such assets. OpEx does not include amortization, depreciation, or impairments. To avoid double counting related to the economic activities, Turnover, CapEx and OpEx are distinctly allocated to ensure that there is no overlap across these financial metrics.# Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Employee well-being and vitality

Prioritizing employee well-being and vitality is not just a moral imperative but also a strategic investment in the success and sustainability of Genmab. It promotes a positive work environment, improves employee morale and engagement, enhances productivity, reduces turnover, and helps maintain compliance with legal requirements. Therefore, prioritizing the health and safety of our teams demonstrates our commitment to our most valuable asset — our people. Promoting work-life balance is not just beneficial for employees, it also positively impacts Genmab by fostering a more productive, engaged, and satisfied workforce. It contributes to a positive organizational culture, supports recruitment and retention efforts, and ultimately enhances the overall performance and success of Genmab.

Genmab has a significant opportunity to enhance its workplace culture by providing a voice to our employees through ongoing initiatives aimed at improving employee engagement. By leveraging platforms such as our annual global engagement survey, Genmab can foster an environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and committed to both their work and the organization’s goals. This focus on engagement is likely to lead to improved talent retention and overall employee well-being. With both local and global surveys conducted annually or biennially, Genmab gathers valuable insights into employee satisfaction, including both physical and mental workplace conditions. The results of these surveys provide a foundation for actionable improvements, with the Human Resources team facilitating the process and Genmab leaders taking ownership of the outcomes. By actively addressing areas of concern highlighted in the surveys, Genmab can create a more supportive and responsive work environment, ultimately empowering employees to share their feedback, concerns, and ideas effectively.

Safety in our facilities

Safety in facilities at Genmab is essential not only for complying with legal requirements, but also for protecting employees, enhancing productivity, reducing costs, maintaining a positive reputation, and supporting overall business success and sustainability. It reflects Genmab’s commitment to the well-being of its employees and its responsibility as a corporate citizen within the broader community. We have instituted mandatory safety training and ongoing education in all workplace areas, especially related to the proper handling of hazardous materials and chemicals in our labs to enhance productivity and reduce costs.

Career development through training and skill building

Employees with advanced skills contribute to higher productivity and efficiency, improving the overall performance of the organization. Organizations that invest in their employees’ development tend to have higher retention rates, as employees feel valued and are more likely to stay with Genmab. Companies known for their commitment to employee development attract top talent, as professionals seek employers who offer growth opportunities. A focus on continuous learning fosters a culture of growth and development, enhancing teamwork, collaboration, and overall morale.

Genmab provides employees with opportunities to discuss their future career at Genmab which should increase employee retention, provide for the ability to attract top talent and achieve higher productivity and efficiency. This is done formally through the year-end performance reviews, but also informally through ad hoc discussions with the manager, as needed. Employees are provided with several internal resources related to the performance process.

Diversity in the workplace

We strive to create, nurture, and maintain a global, inclusive culture where differences drive innovative solutions to meet the needs of patients, care partners, families, and employees. Our teams give Genmab its strength. We are committed to championing a corporate culture that accepts and promotes uniqueness and empowers each team member to bring their authentic self to work in a safe, open, and respectful environment. Our diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DE&I”) strategy aims to make Genmab an Extra[not]ordinary™ employer and inclusive workplace with DE&I efforts centered on gender, age and nationality. Genmab has team members representing over 75 nationalities. Genmab also has several initiatives in place to connect employees across the company, including employee resource groups (ERGs), sharing individual and group experiences to create an inclusive and supporting work environment and to continuously improve employee engagement. Refer to S1-5 for targets related to our Own Workforce and S1-9 for diversity metrics including gender and age.

3.1 Own workforce IRO management

  • Code of Conduct
  • Global Speak Up Policy
  • Human Rights Commitment
  • Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy
  • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
  • Global Lab Occupational Health and Safety Policy

Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct policy aims to promote ethical and compliant conduct in all aspects of our business. Our Code of Conduct applies to everyone in our Company, at every level, including employees, managers, and board members. We expect our alliance partners and third parties, including agents, consultants, contingent workers, and suppliers, to act in a way that is consistent with our values and our Code of Conduct when conducting business on behalf of Genmab. As noted in the Code of Conduct, #11 — Genmab proactively seeks to foster a values-based performance culture and a safe and healthy workplace environment of mutual respect, dignity and inclusion, one that assures we can attract, develop and retain a highly talented, diverse workforce of engaged employees driven to deliver superior business outcomes. We are committed to equal opportunity and fair treatment of our employees. All forms of harassment and retaliation are unacceptable and counter to everything we stand for as a Company.

The Code of Conduct can be mapped to the following positive impacts:

  • Employee well-being and vitality
  • Career development through training and skill building

Genmab’s Head of Global Compliance is responsible for this policy and reports directly to the CEO, and both are members of the CSR and Sustainability Committee. Refer to the Code of Conduct on our website.

Global Speak Up Policy

Enabling employees and external stakeholders to speak up when they observe potential misconduct or have concerns about matters relating to our business is vital to retaining our strong Genmab culture and to doing the right thing. The Genmab Global Speak Up Policy allows for confidential and (where allowed) anonymous reports that will be directed to Genmab Compliance for initial triage and handling. This approach renders the reporting process more accessible and easier to navigate. All reports made under this Policy will be received and treated sensitively and seriously, and will be dealt with promptly, fairly, and objectively. Any investigations commenced will be conducted in a timely manner and will be fair and independent from any persons to whom the report relates. Importantly, our policy also extends protections not only to our regular employees, but also contingent staff, part-timers, temp staff, trainees, interns (both current and former) and others who choose to report their concerns. All employees, in addition to the new hire onboarding training, are required to complete annual Code of Conduct training and attest to their commitment to adhere to our ethical standards. This training also reviews among other topics, the Global Speak Up Policy concepts.

The Global Speak Up Policy can be mapped to the positive impact of Employee well-being and vitality. Genmab’s Head of Global Compliance is responsible for this policy and reports directly to the CEO, and both are members of the CSR and Sustainability Committee. Refer to the Global Speak Up Policy on our website.

Human Rights Commitment

We recognize and support human rights and are dedicated to conducting business in a way that respects the dignity of all people. Our Human Rights Commitment is guided by current human rights laws and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.# Our Guiding Principles

Our Guiding Principles refer to the International Bill of Human Rights, which consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the two Covenants that implement it, as well as the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Declaration on Fundamental Rights and Principles at Work and the core conventions that underpin it, and we are in alignment with these instruments. We are committed to respecting human rights, including labor rights in our own operations and complying with the laws of the countries in which we do business. As part of our commitment, we seek to identify, prevent, and address any potential and actual adverse human rights impacts that our business may contribute to or cause. Further, as disclosed in our Human Rights Commitment, privacy rights of our employees, patients, healthcare providers, customers and other stakeholders are protected. Additionally, per the Human Rights Commitment policy we ensure fair, non-discriminatory employment practices and the prohibition of any form of human trafficking, forced, indentured, slave or child labor. We ensure that the policy is publicly available to all affected stakeholders by publishing it on our website. In 2024, through periodic checks and audits, we continued to provide assurance that our policies, procedures, and operations align with our Human Rights Commitment. Our Supplier Code of Conduct addresses human rights and labor relations to ensure suppliers understand our commitment to compliance with local human and labor laws and recognize the importance we place on human rights. The Supplier Code of Conduct includes provisions in line with the applicable ILO standards addressing the safety of all workers including those in precarious work, human trafficking and the use of forced labour or child labour. The Global Speak Up Policy and Hotline covers the measures provided to enable remedy for human rights impacts. The Human Rights Commitment policy can be mapped to the positive impact of Employee well-being and vitality. Under the leadership of our Chief People Officer, our Human Resources function is responsible for ensuring our compliance with this Commitment. Refer to the Human Rights Commitment on our website. Refer also to the Corporate Global Supplier Code of Conduct Policy on our website.

Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy

At Genmab, prioritizing DE&I means creating richer solutions, obtaining better results, and maximizing productivity, innovation, and creativity. Diversity allows for a variety of perspectives, and inclusion takes different ideas and perspectives into account, while equity ensures fair opportunities to succeed. We embrace each employee’s unique contribution to our culture by valuing differences including age, disabilities, gender, Genmab heritage, nationality, professional specialization race/ethnicity, problem-solving style, sexual orientation, and social class. Genmab’s Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy covers inclusion for groups that may be at particular risk of vulnerability including all employees, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, and other characteristics. By ensuring equal treatment and opportunity, Genmab has a positive impact on people in its workforce and value chain. Diversity in the workplace and harboring a safe workplace for all leads to innovation, creating the opportunity for Genmab to gather multiple perspectives into one place. Similarly, a lack of diversity can impact company performance negatively and hinder innovative solutions to support patients. With regards to our people and measures against violence and harassment in the workplace, as noted in our Code of Conduct, all forms of harassment and retaliation are unacceptable and counter to everything we stand for as a Company. The Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy (most recently adopted by the Board of Directors on June 12, 2024) can be mapped to the positive impact of Diversity in the workplace. The DE&I Council (made up of senior leaders at Genmab) is responsible for ensuring our compliance with this policy. Refer to the Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Policy on our website.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy

As noted in the CSR Policy under No. #2, we care for our employees’ health, well-being, safety, and development and promote a collaborative culture that fosters passion for innovation, integrity, and respect. We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental to achieving our vision and are committed to championing a corporate culture that accepts and promotes uniqueness and empowers each team member to bring their authentic self to work in a safe, open, and respectful environment. The CSR Policy is mapped to the positive impact of Career development through training and skill building. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of Genmab A/S’ Board of Directors oversees all aspects of Genmab’s CSR efforts. Refer to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy on our website.

Global Lab Occupational Health and Safety Policy

Genmab has an internal Global Lab Occupational Health and Safety Policy specific to our R&D labs across our locations. Formal committees responsible for monitoring and improving health and safety at each of our locations continued their work. Each committee reports to site operations and to the local management team to address and escalate any issues. Health and safety prevention workers continue to monitor and improve health and safety at our R&D labs. This policy is mapped to the positive impact of Safety in our facilities. Under the leadership of our Chief Medical Officer, our committees are responsible for ensuring our compliance with the policy.

Workplace Accident Prevention Management System

Genmab adheres to processes, assessments, inspections, and staff trainings and has reporting in place to prevent, monitor and manage any workplace accidents. We aim to create a workplace accident prevention policy over the coming years. Mandatory workplace assessments are conducted in compliance with local regulations. This strategy is mapped to the positive impact of Safety in our facilities. Under the leadership of our Chief People Officer, our Human Resources function is responsible for ensuring our compliance with this Commitment.

Employee Value Proposition

Genmab has developed the Genmab Commitment, which is our employee value proposition that is published internally and the essence of it is used across in our internal and external communications and social media platforms. The Commitment is what grounds our culture in the day-to-day work and brings our vision, purpose, and core values to life. Our Commitment is made up of four key ingredients that illustrate how “We are extra[not] ordinary™”:

  • Empowerment
  • Care
  • Authenticity
  • Impact

These principles capture the culture we aspire to — engaging our team members to go beyond business as usual and to be remarkable, unique, and authentic. We offer an extra[not] ordinary rewards and opportunities package that empowers team members to succeed and enhances their well-being.

Processes for engaging with own workers and workers’ representatives about impacts (S1-2)

Genmab promotes an environment that fosters individual empowerment that allows team members to achieve their maximum potential. Genmab encourages active dialogue directly between employees and management. Genmab drives initiatives that engage, develop, and inspire employees as a part of our overall Total Rewards strategy. Genmab facilitates active dialogue between our team members and management on workplace issues and other topics of concern through HR business partners, Employee Representative Council and Works Council.

  • Danish Employee Representative Council presents topics of interest and concern to employees during the year (at least once a year) through meetings to enable us to gain insight into the perspectives of our workforce and to ensure we remain a preferred workplace. Team members in Denmark have furthermore exercised their right to elect representatives to the Board of Directors in accordance with Danish legislation, and three group employees were elected to the Board under a voluntary scheme allowing employees from other sites to be elected. This employee representation strengthens the involvement and decision-making process at Genmab.
  • Dutch Works Council is a statutory body with the legal right and obligation to monitor and work for the proper functioning of the Company in all its objectives. This advocacy group represents team members in the Netherlands to bring concerns from the workforce to management during the year (at least once a year). Under the Dutch Works Councils Act, our Council must consent on topics that directly affect employees’ everyday work and must be involved in, and consulted for, advice on major organizational changes and determine the impact on the local workforce. While the U.S., Japan and China do not have Work Councils, employee engagement occurs globally for all employees through surveys and workplace assessments including our annual global engagement survey, inclusion networks, personal development dialogues, employee-elected board positions, employment relations and occupational health and safety representation. A Global Employee Engagement Survey is conducted on an annual basis. The results of the survey help us keep a pulse on Genmab’s areas of strength and opportunity. Focus groups are conducted to generate further insights on critical engagement issues.The organization shares results with all team members and encourages all people leaders to review feedback with their teams and develop actions to improve the overall employee experience. In addition, Executive Management reviews results as a group to analyze key findings, themes, reflect on areas of strengths and opportunities for employee engagement. To inform teams on our business and our progress, Genmab hosts functional and/or regional town hall updates. Under the leadership of our Chief People Officer, our Human Resources function is responsible for ensuring engagement with our own workers and workers’ representatives. Refer to SBM-2 for summary table of key stakeholder engagement.

Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for own workers to raise concerns (S1-3)

While we have not identified any material negative impacts regarding our team members, we do promote and encourage our people to speak up to report concerns, share feedback, address compliance issues, and express ethical dilemmas to promoting transparency and foster a culture of openness and accountability by raising awareness of potential risks or challenges that could affect the organization. Employees can raise concerns through their immediate managers or a Human Resource colleague, who will track and monitor such concerns, and raise the issue as needed to the appropriate management to resolve it. Employees can also raise concerns through our 24/7 full-service Speak Up (whistleblower) compliance hotline.

Employee Well-Being and Vitality

Genmab’s well-being pillars were implemented in 2024 which include:
* Emotional well-being: thrive every day
Supporting resilience and mental health through manager training and tools

Promoting financial security with initiatives like Global Money Week
* Physical well-being: feel your best
Offering on-site and virtual fitness opportunities
* Social well-being: live connected
Facilitating volunteer opportunities to connect employees with the community

Programs

Global Well-Being: In 2023, we created a strategic roadmap to help establish an effective Global Well-Being (GWB) Program to support our team members. Our roadmap was developed based on feedback from key stakeholders and the insights of well-being experts who use research-based best practices to design and implement a custom GWB program for our organi- zation. The program that Genmab offered in 2024 and 2023 included the following workshops:
* Care for you as the caregiver
* Leading with love — celebrating and affirming LGBTQ+ young people
* Creating financial well-being plan
* Design your work/life webinar
* International self-care day article posted on Everyday intranet

Emotional and Mental Health: Genmab offered multiple programs, including self-care applica- tions, in 2024 and 2023 and resources at each location to support emotional and mental health needs. A weeklong series on Well-being for employees that provided resources for managers to leverage in support of their employees’ mental health in 2024 and 2023 included the following workshops:
* Resilience: protecting your mental health in stressful times
* How to maximize your day
* Stress busting: run from the bear
* The importance of unplugging
* Boundaries before burnout

Volunteering

Genmab organizes events throughout the year to connect with each other and our communities. In 2024, 688 team members volunteered 2,952 hours on Global Volunteer Day compared to 571 team members and 2,668 hours in 2023.

Self-Care Applications

In 2023, we launched our own mental health application, GenCare, which is used by our team members globally. The app uses several learning approaches and preferences to support neurodi- versity. GenCare evolved in 2024 with updated content and a focus on improved well-being.

Work-life Balance

Genmab continued to provide four additional days off and four meeting-free days throughout the year in both 2024 and 2023. Genmab recognizes the importance of time away from work and offers all employees paid time off, as well as leave of absence policies, to support our teams members through extended periods away from work on a paid and/or unpaid basis. Genmab offers family-related leave to all full-time employees across all our Genmab entities following statutory provisions as stated by the relevant local jurisdiction.

Total Rewards & Opportunities

As Genmab continues to grow, we’ve been enhancing systems to support transparency, understanding, and empowerment regarding employees’ Total Rewards & Opportunities which includes all of the tangible and intangible elements available to employees in return for helping Genmab fulfill our purpose and live our values. In 2024, we introduced a new feature in our Human Resources Information System (HRIS) providing more information about employee salary and growth potential. Employees have the ability to view salary ranges and market ratios for comparable roles in the Biotech/Life Sciences industry. These ranges were created following consultation and alignment with leaders throughout Genmab to ensure that the market data leveraged was the most appropriate for the skills and responsibilities our employees possess. As a result, this exercise exemplifies our rigorous, data-driven processes to ensure our salaries are internally consistent as well as externally attractive — for both new hires and current employees. Genmab also awards new hires with equity grants in the form of warrants and restricted stock units, allowing our team members the opportunity to become part owners in Genmab. Lastly, Genmab offers a variety of market competitive benefits to our employees including physical, social, professional, emotional and financial well-being. Refer to Note 4.6 in the consolidated financial statements for details related to grants of share-based instruments in 2024 and 2023.

Safety in Our Facilities

Our Safe & Sound and Sustainability Week recog- nizes the successes of workplace health and safety programs and provides information on how to keep our lab workers safe while bringing awareness to our sustainability footprint. As part of the program for the weeks in 2024 and 2023, we highlighted important lab safety topics specifically for the laboratories in the Netherlands and the U.S. This included CPR certification to equip our team members with life-saving skills, eyewash demonstrations, management of expired/unused chemicals, fire extinguisher training and biosafety. We also cele- brated our team members’ efforts in identifying and reporting potential hazards. We have instituted mandatory safety training and ongoing education in all workplace areas, especially related to the proper handling of hazardous materials and chemicals in our labs. We are fully aware of the impact that chemicals can have on employee and patient health and safety. We are committed to ensuring that our chemical management practices comply with all relevant regulations and standards, and that we minimize the potential for harm to our workers, customers, and the environment. Risk assessments of chemicals used by Genmab in its operations indicate that many pose low or no hazard. However, we constantly monitor the use
111 Table of Contents Financial Statements Other InformationGenmab 2024 Annual Report Management’s Review Sustainability Statements
of chemicals with high risk factors, such as being corrosive, reactive, mutagenic or carcinogenic, and are constantly promoting investigation into their potential replacement or process enhance- ments. In alignment with our stringent safety protocols and adherence to legal requirements, our labs recorded no chemical-related incidents resulting in injuries requiring beyond basic first aid treatment or significant chemical emissions.

Career Development through Training and Skill Building

Global Employee Engagement Survey

As standard practice, Genmab reviews the survey results with the Executive Committee to reflect on employee feedback, current engagement strategy and understand future actions that could support the employee experience. It is also encouraged for people leaders to review survey results directly with their employees to discuss the feedback and establish any actions to improve the employee experience. Lastly, Genmab trans- parently displays survey results with the broader employee population by publishing them on the Company’s internal secured network.

In 2024 and 2023, Genmab conducted the survey with areas of focus including: diversity and inclusion, immediate manager, work environ- ment, innovation, engagement, camaraderie & teamwork, thriving, communication effectiveness, work-life balance, career development, senior leadership, performance management and orga- nization effectiveness. Team members scored Genmab on these areas of focus which helps us keep a pulse on areas of concern. The engagement score, which measures favor- ability, is influenced by certain questions specifically designed to measure overall employee engagement on a five point rating scale.# Management’s Review

Targets related to managing material negative impacts, advancing positive impacts, and managing material risks and opportunities (S1-5)

Targets related to Employee well-being and vitality

Genmab continues to promote an environment that fosters individual empowerment that allows team members to achieve their maximum potential, and drive initiatives that engage, develop and inspire employees as a part of our overall Total Rewards strategy. Specific target identified by the HR function related to promoting employee well-being and vitality is indicated below:

  • Meet or exceed the global benchmark for (1) employee engagement score and (2) participation rate for the Global Employee Engagement Survey in 2025 (annual target)

    1
    The target is measured annually after the administration of the Global Employee Engagement Survey. Genmab will compare the engagement score, which measures the favorability rate, and the participation rate for the Company’s engagement in comparison to the life sciences industry average. Focusing on top-down governance, the survey results are reviewed with the Executive Committee. During the discussion, the team will reflect on any actions needed to maintain or improve overall employee engagement. Refer to S1-4 which shows how Genmab’s Global Employee Engagement Survey results in 2024 and 2023 outpaced life sciences industry benchmarks.
    2
    Executive Management received RSU grants in 2022, 2023 and 2024 with performance linked to sustaining at or better than the global benchmark for employee engagement.
    3
    Executive Management received RSU grants in 2022, 2023 and 2024 with performance linked to gender diversity balance targets in director and above level roles. The range of payout varies based on gender splits (see GOV-3).

In 2024, we achieved a 79% engagement score and a 90% global participation rate compared to an 83% engagement score and an 88% global participation rate in 2023. Our results in 2024 and 2023 exceeded life sciences industry benchmarks of 78% engagement score and 80% participation rate. Refer to S1-5 for targets related to the global employee engagement survey.

Learning & Development

In 2024, Genmab created multiple skills-based learning paths for team members focusing on specific skill development with focus areas including digital and AI, feedback, strategic planning, advance excel skills, leading different generations, informal leadership, and business communications. In 2023, Genmab focused its efforts to continue building our learning culture, including curation and development of new virtual learning content through our GenSpire platform, as well as initiating custom, targeted learning programs. We continued to implement our cloud-based learning management system, together with an e-learning library of courses to help team members develop their skills while working remotely.

AI in learning

In 2024, Genmab focused on the usage of AI in learning to increase usability, course suggestions, and our collaboration with our learning providers.

Global Mentorship Program

In 2024, Genmab launched a Global Mentor Program, to ensure an inclusive and supporting environment. This new mentor program can impact the sense of belonging, as employees connect with other colleagues outside their area of expertise as well as connecting with leaders that can provide insights and feedback that is not linked to any performance plan. The feedback can be used to develop skills and traits important to that specific individual.

Targets related to Career development through training & skill building

The Genmab Learning & Development (L&D) team within the Global Talent Management strives to be data centric. The L&D team measures learning completion records for required learning, optional learning, and self-assigned learning. Aside from completion measures the team also measures the communication channels effectiveness. Specifically, L&D has set annual required career development, training & skill building targets as follows:

  • 100% of eligible employees are provided access to Genmab’s end of year performance process

The Global Talent Management team at Genmab will ensure that all eligible employees are provided full access to the year-end performance process at Genmab, including providing internal resources and early engagement to the employees. This is set as an annual target for 2025.

  • 100% of employees are provided access to training programs that meet the development needs across various career stages and learnings styles

    The Global Talent Management team at Genmab will ensure that professional development skills trainings are offered to all employees. This is set as an annual target for 2025.

  • Launch sustainability awareness training by 2025

    The Corporate Sustainability Team at Genmab plans to launch sustainability awareness training for team members in 2025.

Targets related to Diversity in the Workplace

Diversity targets are determined by the DE&I Council (made up of senior executives) and adopted by the Board of Directors. They are as follows:

(1) Maintain between 40% to 60% gender representation at a director level and above

2

The Board of Directors has committed to maintaining an annual target of balanced gender representation, at a director level and above level positions by 2025. In order to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, employment decisions at Genmab are based on merit. The Company is committed to equal opportunity in the conduct of all our business activities. Genmab does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, status with regard to public assistance or any other classification protected by applicable law. As of December 31, 2024, the gender split in director level and above was 52% female and 48% male as disclosed in the table in section S1-9.

(2) Target between 40% to 60% gender representation by 2025 in the Other Management Levels at Genmab A/S only in accordance with the guidelines from the Danish Business Authority

As of December 31, 2024, the gender split in the Other Management Levels, as defined in the Danish Companies Act, was 33% female managers (six persons) and 67% male managers (12 persons) for Genmab A/S (Danish Parent only). As we do not currently have an equal share of men and women in the Other Management Levels at Genmab A/S as defined by the Danish Companies Act, the Board of Directors has committed to a target ratio of 40% to 60% for female and male splits in the Other Management Levels of Genmab A/S by 2025, or the target that comes closest to this target and which still constitutes an equal gender composition in accordance with the guidelines from the Danish Business Authority. To pursue the fulfillment of the set target and to continue working towards and maintaining diversity and equal opportunities for employees at all management levels in the Genmab Group, we have implemented several initiatives related to, among other things, recruitment, employment terms and talent development.

Diversity in the Workplace

Employee Satisfaction

We achieved an overall satisfaction score of 88% or greater on Diversity and Inclusion in the Global Employee Engagement Survey in 2024 and 2023.

DE&I Council

Our DE&I Council guides the alignment of our DE&I strategy with our overall business strategy. The Council includes representation of senior leaders, DE&I team, Internal Communication, and presidents of our ERGs, and meets to discuss cultural activities, employee feedback and future DE&I needs.

DE&I Trainings

Our DE&I team updates Genmab DE&I training each year to respond to the growth and diversity in Genmab as well as the geopolitical situation in the global environment. We conducted multiple trainings in 2024 and 2023. The trainings offered were a combination of culture Workshops, culture masterclasses and DE&I workshops with basic concepts and definitions.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Genmab currently has six (6) Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). ERGs are employee led, self-directed voluntary groups that enhance culture and aim to bring better business outcomes through leveraging diversity and inclusion by offering opportunities to network internally, attracting a diverse employee base, providing the inclusion of ideas and solutions, and creating opportunities for career development. ERGs are overseen by the DE&I team, under the Human Resource function. All ERGs are open to all employees of Genmab.

Talent Acquisition and Fair & Equal Hiring Practices

In 2024, we attended two (2) diversity career fairs. In 2023, our Talent Acquisition team, including 100% of our recruiters, received additional implicit bias training on eliminating bias in the hiring process. In partnership with the National Black MBA Association, Inc and Disability IN, in the U.S., as well as Women in Tech in Brussels, we continued outreach and relationship building in historically underserved communities to better understand their needs and identify ways to support local prosperity and the development of potential talent for our Company. We plan to continue to participate in three to four diversity career fairs annually, with the focus on expanding the talent pipeline and ensuring that diverse talent has access to apply for vacant positions.

Compliance with the Dutch Participation Act

We employ three individuals with disabilities who were trained, mentored, and coached on the job to support this law that aims to help everyone find work in the Netherlands, including people with disabilities. Refer to S1-5 for targets linked to diversity.

Social — Consumers and End-users

Genmab’s consumers include healthcare providers, pharmaceutical distributors, and end-users are its patients. Our consumers and/or end-users are dependent on accurate and accessible product-related information, such as manuals and product labels, to avoid potentially damaging use of a product. We also have a small group of pediatric consumers/end-users who are participating in a pediatric study, who are particularly vulnerable to health or privacy impacts or impacts from marketing and sales strategies due to the inherent nature of young age-group. At Genmab, our work is anchored in our core purpose: to improve the lives of patients through innovative and differentiated antibody therapeutics. Driven by this purpose, we are transforming the way patients fight cancer while creating long-term value for all our stakeholders.# 4.0 IROs

Section Material Topic Material Impact Value Chain Location Material Risk Material Opportunity
Social Consumers and End-Users ― Social inclusion of consumers and/or end-users Access and integrity in clinical trials (positive) Downstream Refer to the Risk Management section of the Annual Report for risks related to Regulation, Legislation and Compliance Market access programs to allow for product availability for uninsured or underinsured (positive) Downstream

Clinical trial transparency (positive) Downstream Refer to the Risk Management section of the Annual Report for risks related to Regulation, Legislation and Compliance All impacts, risks and opportunities have expected time horizons of short, medium and long-term.

Access and integrity in Clinical trials (positive)

We strive to enroll patients who will benefit from our clinical studies and Genmab is subject to extensive legislative, regulatory and other requirements which pose a risk to Genmab; however, Genmab is committed to ensuring equal access to Genmab clinical trials. We have DE&I initiatives to ensure we enroll diverse patients who represent the communities we serve.

Market access programs to allow for product availability for uninsured or underinsured (positive)

MyNavCare Patient Support is designed to provide comprehensive resources and support to help patients access EPKINLY (epcoritamab-bysp) throughout their treatment journey. Recognizing the challenges faced by uninsured or underinsured patients, Genmab has created a robust program through MyNavCare to provide financial assistance and free medicine for eligible patients struggling to afford their prescribed treatments. Without effective market access programs, Genmab could lose market share from competition.

Assisting those having difficulty affording Genmab products prescribed to them is an identified opportunity for Genmab and can lead to market growth in a competitive pharmaceutical landscape.

Through MyNavCare, Genmab assists eligible patients with coverage for co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles, helping to ensure that financial challenges do not become barriers to accessing life-changing therapies. This initiative reflects Genmab’s commitment to reducing disparities in healthcare access and empowering patients to focus on their treatment journey.

Patient engagement programs developed (positive)

Genmab is elevating the voices of patients and care partners by incorporating their perspectives into all aspects of our work — from early-stage R&D to clinical trials and commercialization. These insights are vital to our ability to innovate and to support people impacted by our medicines as they navigate the complex aspects of a serious illness. Without our patient engagement programs, there is risk of increased competition and decreased overall patient experience. Genmab engages with patients and caregivers to gather insights and improve patient outcomes. The goal of these programs is to effectively and efficiently bring medicines to patients that incorporate the patient voice across the continuum of clinical development, including ensuring clinical protocols and informed consents have the patient insights required to attract and retain patients in the trials while meeting regulatory requirements.

Clinical trial transparency (positive)

As there is risk associated with transparency in our business, increased transparency in clinical trials is a key factor for advancing medical research and improving patient outcomes. As Genmab develops antibody therapeutics for cancer treatment and other serious diseases, increased transparency can have the following material impacts:

  • Help patients find trials that match their eligibility criteria and preferences, increasing the recruitment and retention rates of participants.
  • Empower patients to make informed decisions about their health, enhancing their trust and satisfaction with the trial process and the Company.
  • Improve the evidence base for clinical care, allowing clinicians and scientists to access and evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments.
  • Prevent duplication of unsuccessful trials, saving time and resources for the research community.
  • Contribute to efficient design of clinical trials, enabling Genmab and the research community to learn and optimize new trial protocols and outcomes.

Increased transparency in clinical trials benefits Genmab by facilitating development of innovative and effective therapies for patients with cancer or other serious diseases and ensuring their optimal use.

Commitment to Patients

Across Genmab, our talented and dedicated team works every day to improve the lives of patients through innovative and differentiated antibody therapeutics. Genmab’s Commitment to Patients describes how our work is guided by doing what’s best for patients. Through our Patient Advisory Council, patients contribute their insights ranging from how we design and conduct our clinical trials to how we may help to educate and support patients who have been prescribed our products. We are focused on understanding the many individuals who may support a patient throughout their disease experience and tailoring resources to the needs of these care partners to better facilitate their role in the care journey.# Sustainability Statements

Safety and Compliance

Our goal is to conduct clinical research that reflects the real-world demographics of the diseases we study, and we strive to ensure our trials are patient-centric and accessible for patients of all backgrounds to participate. We aim to ensure that all patients who are prescribed our medicines have timely access to them. We work with stakeholders across the healthcare system and have patient support services (PSS) in place to address patient access to our medications once prescribed. We aim to facilitate transparency in our work and interactions. The Commitment to Patients can be mapped to the positive impacts of patient engagement and market access programs developed to allow for product availability for uninsured or underinsured. The Senior Vice President Communications and Corporate Affairs is responsible for the policy and reports directly to CEO. Refer to the Commitment to Patients on our website.

Global Compliance Policy

Genmab has an internal Global Compliance Policy and playbook. The Global Compliance Policy covers interactions and engagements with healthcare professionals, healthcare organizations, patients, patient association groups and government officials (stakeholders). Genmab’s Head of Global Compliance is responsible for this policy and reports directly to the CEO, and both are members of the CSR and Sustainability Committee.

Processes for engaging with consumers and end-users about impacts (S4-2)

Genmab’s engagement with consumers and end-users is a multi-faceted strategy that prioritizes patient safety, ethical marketing, and transparent communication.

Patient Engagement Programs

Genmab’s mission to improve the lives of patients with cancer and serious diseases is realized through its commitment to patient engagement programs. These efforts include clinical trials, advocacy initiatives, and also through tailored support programs like MyNavCare Patient Support™, which provides, with respect to Genmab products approved in the U.S., personalized assistance for patients and their care partners, as well as support for HCPs for the ultimate benefit of patients. The MyNavCare Patient Support™ program offers comprehensive support, including insurance navigation, and financial support, designed to facilitate access to therapies for all eligible patients. The program supports, among others, those who are uninsured or underinsured, ensuring equitable access to treatment while alleviating the burdens associated with navigating complex healthcare systems. When someone has enrolled in the MyNavCare program, which is optional, they can call and engage with MyNavCare team members to discuss any questions or issues they have.

Genmab values patient input and actively involves patients in its decision-making processes through initiatives like the Patient Advisory Council. This council enables patients to share their experiences and insights, influencing how clinical trials are designed and how medicines are delivered. By listening to patient feedback, Genmab can better understand their needs and concerns, ultimately enhancing both the science behind its therapies and the support services offered, thereby contributing to the decision-making processes ranging from how we design and conduct our clinical trials to the way we deliver our medicines. Engagement occurs on a regular basis, from early development through commercial. The Senior Vice President Communications and Corporate Affairs is responsible for ensuring this engagement and reports directly to CEO.

Clinical Trial Transparency

Transparency in clinical trials is another key focus for Genmab. Genmab engages on a regular basis with patient advocacy groups and healthcare professionals to ensure that the perspectives of consumers and end-users are integrated into trial design and execution. Genmab publishes its Clinical Trial Transparency Declaration on its website, keeping patients and other stakeholders informed about trial processes and expectations. The Development Operations team, organized under the Chief Development Officer, oversees this engagement, and ensures the effective planning, execution, and public disclosure of clinical trials.

The Global Drug Safety team plays a crucial role in ensuring that Genmab’s products meet stringent safety and efficacy standards. They work closely with regulatory agencies to maintain compliance but do not engage directly with patients. This team’s efforts are complemented by a comprehensive safety monitoring program designed to identify and mitigate potential risks associated with Genmab’s therapies. Trust in the safety and quality of these products is essential, as any breach of trust can adversely affect the Company’s reputation and core business. Under the leadership of our Chief Development Officer, our internal functions are responsible for ensuring safety and compliance.

Ethical Marketing Practices

Genmab emphasizes responsible marketing practices in all interactions with healthcare providers and stakeholders. Genmab has established a Code of Conduct that sets high ethical standards for employees, reinforced through regular training. This ensures that all marketing and sales efforts align with local and national regulations, which may limit direct engagement with consumers and end-users. Ethical marketing practices are the responsibility of our Chief Commercial Officer.

Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for consumers and end-users to raise concerns (S4-3)

While we have not identified any material negative impacts regarding our consumers and end-users, we do promote and encourage our consumers and end-users to speak up to report concerns, share feedback, address compliance issues, and enable remedy for human rights impacts. We believe our consumers and end-users trust the channels described in this section as we receive questions and requests from these channels.

Clinical Trials

Consumers and end-users can raise questions or concerns via Genmab’s publicly available mailbox, [email protected]. This mailbox is provided along with all registered trials on disclosure platforms such as ClinicalTrials.gov and the EU CTIS public portal. At time of enrollment, the trial participants are provided an Informed Consent Form (ICF) to sign before joining a trial. The ICF contains additional information on channels to raise questions or concerns. The requests received are reviewed and assessed to ensure they are addressed by the appropriate Genmab function, while ensuring that personal information is handled securely and in compliance with privacy regulations.

MyNavCare

Patients enrolled in the MyNavCare program have access to dedicated team members who address their concerns, answer questions, and provide personalized assistance. The Patient Engagement Liaisons (PELs) serve as trusted points of contact, offering tailored support without providing medical advice or working under the direction of the prescribing healthcare providers. PELs are dedicated to helping patients and care partners by:

  • Providing information about the patient’s condition and what to expect while on treatment
  • Connecting them with external organizations
  • Offering resources tailored for the needs of both patients and care partners

This optional program ensures that patients feel supported and informed, creating a compassionate framework that prioritizes patient empowerment while respecting the role of healthcare providers in treatment decisions. The effectiveness of our work is tracked via regular meetings with our MyNavCare team members and through scheduled updates with the other cross functional teams leadership meetings. The Patient Services Steering Committee, made of senior U.S. Market leaders, meets every quarter to review the patient services program operational metrics and effectiveness.

Reporting a Side Effect or a Quality Concern

We take patient safety seriously. Reports of side effects and quality concerns enable us to ensure the safety of our medicines and the patients who take them. Genmab has a public number that patients may call. We state on all our resources the following: You are encouraged to report side effects to the FDA at (800) FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch or to Genmab US, Inc. at 1-855-4GENMAB (18554436622). The company systematically monitors and evaluates adverse events and other safety-related information associated with its therapies post-approval. This ongoing surveillance helps identify and respond to potential safety concerns promptly.

Speak Up Hotline

If patients or caregivers have concerns, they can raise them through the Speak Up Hotline. Our 24/7 full-service Speak Up (whistleblower) compliance hotline enables the anonymous reporting of illegal, unethical, and/or non-compliant behavior and related concerns in connection with our organization. Our Compliance team regularly reviews these matters, and supports investigations as warranted, reporting to both management and the Audit & Finance Committee. Refer to the Global Speak Up Policy and Hotline on our website, and S1-3 for further details.

Taking action on material impacts on consumers and end-users, and approaches to managing material risks and pursuing material opportunities related to consumers and end-users, and effectiveness of those actions (S4-4)

Genmab has safety measures in place for products, patients, and healthcare providers. Genmab believes that patient safety plays a critical role in our business operations. Genmab has a Comprehensive Safety Program that is designed to identify and mitigate potential risks associated with our products, and to ensure that our products are safe and effective for their intended use.

Actions on Material Impacts on Consumers and End-Users

Genmab provided annual training programs on pharmacovigilance for global drug safety and pharmacovigilance (GDS&PV) staff, including regular updates and assessments to ensure continuous learning and compliance with the latest regulations. Also, Genmab developed and distributed educational materials on safety requirements to stakeholders and organized workshops to enhance their understanding and implementation of safety protocols. These actions are linked to the personal safety and information of consumers and end-users. The following actions were taken around Genmab’s material impacts on our consumers and end-users for 2024:

Access and Integrity in Clinical Trials

We have a Patient Advisory Council and a Study Coordinator Advisory Council who provide input to our clinical trials. In addition, our clinical trials are reviewed by institutional review boards, ethics committees, regulatory authorities, and data and safety monitoring boards. As of December 31, 2024, there was a total of 25 ongoing Genmab-sponsored clinical trials, all registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. Our clinical trials are taking place in 37 countries worldwide with 620 patients enrolled during the year.

Genmab complies with all applicable industry regulations, guidelines, and standards globally for drug development, such as cGLP, cGCP, cGMPs and good animal practice as defined by the Federation of European Laboratory Animal Science Associations (FELASA). We also monitor and comply with all relevant legislation and regulations, including guidelines issued by international regulatory authorities such as the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) and others. It is important to acknowledge our relationship with Japan PMDA, as it reflects our global strength. Our operations were periodically audited by relevant authorities.

Clinical trials generate the data necessary to evaluate the safety and efficacy of drugs, providing insight on how to use a therapy and which patients are most likely to benefit from treatment. Even with the advancements in understanding the incidence of different cancers between genders and racial or ethnic groups, inequities persist, resulting in underrepresentation in clinical trials. Genmab’s DE&I in Clinical Trials Project Team is responsible for defining and implementing a framework to deliver Genmab’s intentions to provide clinical trial treatment options to patients in a wider community and generate clinical trial data from currently underrepresented populations. The Project Team works to ensure all Genmab registration studies have a clear strategy and process for Diversity Plan success.

Genmab has been working to implement diversity in our pivotal clinical trials. In 2024, Genmab introduced a Diversity Action Plan (DAP) SOP and DAP template to be implemented for all pivotal trials. The inaugural Diversity Action Plan was submitted to the U.S. FDA in 2024. With the U.S. FDA final guidance expected in 2025 we will ensure compliance with the agency’s new rules and implement diversity in all applicable pivotal studies where appropriate.

Genmab systematically monitors and evaluates adverse events and other safety-related information associated with its therapies post-approval. This ongoing surveillance helps identify and respond to potential safety concerns promptly. Our cross functional team regularly reviews matters, and supports investigations as warranted. We have a mix of internal and external committees that regularly monitors clinical trial data to track and assess the effectiveness of these actions mentioned above.

Market Access Programs to Allow for Product Availability for Uninsured or Underinsured

All Market Access colleagues undergo comprehensive annual compliance training to ensure adherence to regulatory standards and ethical practices. Here is a list of some of the key compliance training modules they complete:
* Data Privacy
* U.S. FDA guidelines
* The PhRMA code and Ad Promotion rules
* Compliance issues including Anti-bribery and Speak Up modules (including whistleblower training)
* Pharmacovigilance
* Sunshine Act (and various other transparency laws)
* Conflict of interest

The MyNavCare team also trains annually on specific compliance related PSS polices and business rules. These training modules ensure that colleagues in the Market Access group remain informed about the latest regulatory requirements and ethical standards, thereby safeguarding the Company’s reputation and ensuring the continued availability of their products to patients. The tracking of the completion rates are monitored by the Global Compliance team.

Patient Engagement Programs Developed

Genmab is elevating the voices of patients and care partners by incorporating their perspectives into all aspects of our work from early-stage R&D to clinical trials and commercialization. These insights are vital to our ability to innovate and to support patients as they navigate the complex aspects of a serious illness. The effectiveness of these patient engagement programs are tracked via regular meetings with our patient advisory council and through scheduled updates with other internal teams. Our patient advocacy team facilitated multiple touchpoints with key stakeholders throughout the year to provide opportunities for mutual learning and insight sharing:

  • Our Patient Advisory Council, formed in 2023, which consisted of 16 members as of December 31, 2024 compared to 13 members as of December 31, 2023, met nine times in 2024 and four times in 2023. In 2024, topics discussed included feedback on patient materials, such as brand messaging and caregiver resources, the global and U.S. websites, and review of clinical trial materials, including informed consent forms, protocol, and lay summary. In 2023, topics discussed were around clinical trial recruitment and diversity in clinical trials, providing patient perspective on the cancer experience and how Genmab can better serve patients and care partners. Members of the Council represent people with a variety of tumor types, ages, geographies, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
  • Our third annual Science Day in 2024 brought together 29 leaders from 24 organizations and six patient advisors for 1.5 days of scientific discussion and knowledge exchange. Our second annual Science Day in 2023 brought together 32 representatives from patient advocacy and professional groups, our Patient Advisory Council and Genmab team members to share information about our respective work to inform how we can best address the needs of patients and their care partners. Topics included AI, and the cancer journey for patients and care partners.

We understand the need for broad stakeholder education to help break down barriers and reach underrepresented populations, along with the need to support the patient and care partner to address the psychosocial impacts of living with cancer, such as feelings of depression, anxiety, and fear. The actionable insights gained from Science Day are key to shaping our future patient engagement and education efforts.

MyNavCare

We are bringing life-changing medicines and support services to patients through MyNavCare Patient Support. Since the 2023 launch of EPKINLY in the U.S., through 2024, we have supported patients directly through MyNavCare Patient Support, our robust patient support program, and continuously worked with stakeholders across the healthcare system to ensure rapid and sustainable access to appropriate patients. In the U.S., MyNavCare supports each patient’s unique needs alongside the needs of care partners. We support:

  • Patients and care partners through case management, insurance navigation and financial assistance, among other services
  • HCPs through navigating access, including reimbursement education, and billing and coverage information, among other resources with the overarching goal of supporting patients needs

We also provide access support for eligible patients who are uninsured or underinsured through our Patient Assistance Program, which minimizes the burden of applying for assistance and quickly determines eligibility. We aim to take great care and consideration to help ensure rapid and sustainable access for all appropriate patients who may benefit from our therapies as we look to bring our own medicines to additional markets in the future. We remain focused in our pursuit to turn innovative science into medicine that creates value and delivers meaningful impact to patients, their care partners and the HCPs who serve them.

Under the leadership of our Vice President, U.S. Market Access, our market access function is responsible for oversight of MyNavCare. The effectiveness of our work is tracked via regular meetings with our MyNavCare team members and through scheduled updates with the other cross functional teams leadership meetings.

Clinical Trial Transparency

To ensure access to quality information for patients, consumers, and end-users, Genmab has taken the following action in 2024:

  • Offered trial descriptions in the ClinicalTrials.gov registration that are clear and understandable for non-scientists, benefiting potential trial participants. Tracking and assessment is done by reviewing requests received from consumers and end-users via Genmab’s publicly available mailbox, [email protected]. The received requests are triaged to ensure they are addressed by the appropriate Genmab function.

Continuous Improvement

Healthy corporate culture aligned with core values and purpose

In our quest to turn science into medicine, we use these guideposts to transform the future of cancer treatment:
* Passion for innovation
* Determination — being the best at what we do
* Integrity — we do the right thing
* We work as one team and respect each other

Without maintaining a healthy corporate culture, Genmab is exposed to compliance and other risks. Genmab has an opportunity to provide annual training to employees on key business conduct matters. Annual Code of Conduct training is mandatory for all employees, with launch and completion rates monitored by the Global Compliance team. The Code of Conduct training should decrease behaviors that go against our Code of Conduct that could lead to compliance or other issues.

Cybersecurity programs in place to protect the privacy of our business, our own workforce and patients

We focus on privacy and protection of personal data at Genmab, covering several data categories, such as the data of patients, employees, business partners, HCPs, and other stakeholders. Genmab acknowledges the risk related to cybersecurity breaches that could occur within our value chain. We have taken solid measures to protect personal data in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable personal data protection legislation and requirements. All our team members are educated in the GDPR. The Global Information Security and Risk Management team reports to the Board on a quarterly basis. No security incidents with critical or material business impact have been reported in 2024.

Accounting policies

Genmab has a security incident management process and a separate security incident system which security incidents are processed. Incidents are entered through a number of channels including Genmab’s security monitoring partner, by employees through Genmab’s internal systems and by Genmab’s security operations team. Security incidents are analyzed and rated according to different priority categories ranging from priority 1 (critical) to priority 4 (low). We perform an analysis of the number of incidents with business impact utilizing the financial statement materiality threshold.

Strong management of suppliers, ensuring compliance with Genmab’s Global Supplier Code of Conduct

Supplier relationship management is a key business initiative that aims to build mutually beneficial relationships between the company and suppliers. Well-designed programs help companies to increase collaboration by identifying the right suppliers. Genmab understands the risk of being dependent on existing partnerships, and has mitigation efforts in place to address these risks. Genmab has a real opportunity to partner with suppliers on Sustainability related commitments around the environment and our Supplier Code of Conduct which could lead to cost savings and stronger relationships in the future.# Refer to E1-4 for environmental targets linked to supplier engagement.

Ethical business culture and business practices

We are committed to operating all aspects of our business with the utmost integrity.

Genmab maintains a Global Compliance Program staffed by compliance professionals who monitor adherence to the policy.

Global Speak Up Policy

Genmab maintains a Speak Up (whistleblower) program featuring an independently operated hotline service available globally intended to provide anyone with information about potential misconduct related to Genmab or its business activities the opportunity to report the misconduct. Genmab’s Speak Up program is intended to accommodate information from any group with information including all Genmab’s current and former employees, directors, contractors, customers, suppliers, and other third parties wishing to report concerns. All reports made through the Genmab Speak Up program are assessed and considered by the Genmab Global Compliance team in a prompt, fair, and compliant manner. Genmab has established procedures to protect whistleblowers and ensure they do not suffer retaliation for their report.

On a quarterly basis, Genmab’s Audit and Finance Committee receives a summary of all reports made under the Speak Up program along with additional information about any material incidents raised. Summaries of all reports made to the Speak Up program are provided to Genmab’s Global Compliance and Risk Committee (GCRC) annually. All Genmab employees and contractors are required to take Speak Up training, and completion metrics are monitored by the Compliance team. Speak Up program training is a mandatory component of employee onboarding and also an annual requirement.

Genmab has zero tolerance for any retaliation against anyone who raises concerns or participates in investigations. Retaliation includes any conduct or treatment that could discourage someone from speaking up. Genmab will protect the identity of people who participate in the Speak Up program as appropriate and consistent with applicable law. Genmab utilizes a number of methods (determined by the scenario) to protect whistleblowers from retaliation or detriment including but not limited to discrimination, harassment, physical or psychological harm, isolation, impact to employee performance and/or compensation, damaging property, or varying employee’s role or duties. The Global Speak Up Policy can be mapped to the positive impact of protection of whistleblowers through anti-retaliation policies and procedures. Refer to the Global Speak Up Policy on our website, and S1-3 for further details. Refer to G1-3 for Genmab’s procedures to investigate business conduct matters.

Anti-Fraud Policy

Genmab has an internal Anti-Fraud Policy that communicates anti-fraud principles and program elements, and management’s responsibility for detecting and responding to fraud and misconduct. This Policy applies to all employees, officers, directors of Genmab, and management regardless of legal entity or work location, and anyone supervising the performance of services for or on behalf of Genmab, including contractors, contingent workers, agents, suppliers, and consultants (collectively “Genmab Person”). Genmab’s Corporate Controller is responsible for the anti-fraud policy and reports to the CFO. Genmab monitors through Internal Audit assessing the potential for fraud risk when planning individual audits. On an annual basis, a fraud risk assessment is prepared with the participation of management. This annual fraud risk assessment is presented to the Audit & Finance Committee.

Data Ethics Policy

The use of data, both personal and non-personal, is essential to fulfilling our core purpose, and we are committed to handling data with integrity and in an ethical and compliant manner. Genmab has developed a global data privacy program supported by a cross-functional team of global data privacy subject matter experts and appointed an external Data Privacy Officer (DPO) dedicated to GDPR compliance and oversight. Our Data Ethics Policy complies with Section 99d of the Danish Financial Statements Act, and we adopted the Data Ethics principles of the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA). As part of this commitment to ethical and responsible use of data and overall transparency, Genmab has made this Data Ethics Policy publicly available to all external stakeholders. Refer to the Data Ethics Policy on our website.

The policy and its principles are anchored in our Code of Conduct as part of our overall Compliance program, and has been communicated to our management so they can share and consider it with team members. Over the past year, we focused on further embedding these principles into our operations, particularly in the areas of data privacy, DE&I, clinical trials, and the application of new technologies such as AI and machine learning. This goal was supported by efforts to evolve our data privacy governance model into a forward-looking and comprehensive global data privacy program.# Genmab, in 2025, will continue to optimize and enhance its approach to responsible and ethical use of data in its operations through continued transformation of and investment in its global data privacy program. There were no substantiated complaints concerning breaches of data privacy from individuals or data protection authorities in 2024 or 2023.

Cybersecurity Program

We maintain a comprehensive cybersecurity program based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s NIST 800 Special Publication Information Security standard (“NIST standard”) for managing cybersecurity activities, including formulation of global objectives of the cybersecurity program and risk identification and mitigation activities. Our Global Cybersecurity Program is under the leadership of the vice president and global head of cybersecurity and IT risk management who reports to the senior vice president, global head of IT & digital. The program is overseen by the Global Compliance and Risk Committee (co-chaired by our CEO and our global head of compliance and risk) and the Audit and Finance Committee. The program includes activities and projects in all five functions of the NIST standard with the goal of further improving our security profile and adapting, where needed, to changes in the business strategy and threat environment of Genmab. Input for the program comes from the annual attack and penetration test, periodic threat landscape and security maturity assessments, as well as requirements of applicable cybersecurity regulations. We have established a Cyber Response Task Force responsible for responding to potential cyber crisis situations that could have an impact on our Company, partners, or patients we serve. The Task Force provides assurance that our incident response and recovery capability is effective in increasing our ability to prevent, detect and respond to potential cyberattacks. We regard the protection of the Company against cybersecurity attacks as a task for everyone in the organization. Therefore, employees are provided with information about cybersecurity risks and how to detect and report security incidents in online trainings and quarterly security events. The Cybersecurity Program can be mapped to the positive impact of cybersecurity and global data privacy programs in place to protect the privacy of our business, our own workforce, patients and all individuals who entrust us with their information.

Animal Welfare Policy

At Genmab, we use research animals for the purpose of addressing important scientific questions or to fulfill a regulatory requirement. Animals have intrinsic value and experiments on animals are only carried out when no appropriate alternative method is available. Genmab has established an internal animal welfare policy and animal welfare management procedures for its locations in the U.S., Europe, Japan, and China that incorporate local laws and regulations and that reflect our high standards. We plan to harmonize these ways of working between our sites in 2025. Our policies reflect our responsible and humane use of animals in research. We actively continue to drive the implementation of the 3Rs principles (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement) in all that we do. A dedicated animal welfare officer monitors animal welfare policies and practices, ensuring we continuously refine the care and use of the animals involved in our research. In 2023, we implemented the use of low-stress handling techniques for mice, the use of optimized nesting material and started an ongoing effort to use minimally invasive techniques for the identification (marking) of rodents to improve the welfare of animals in our daily care. In 2024, we launched a Global Animal Welfare Committee who owns the policies, to explore 3R opportunities, to advise on animal welfare matters and to work towards enhancing our transparency regarding the use of animals in research. In addition, we started to develop internal policies describing all the elements of working with animals. Genmab provides continuing education to team members working with animals on ethical treatment of animals. Genmab performs animal welfare audits at external contractors, when required, to ensure contractors maintain comparable high standards for animal use and care as we do internally. All animal studies performed, whether internally or externally, are Genmab’s moral and ethical responsibility and we strive to apply our high standards in all that we do.

Refer to G1-2 for details of the Global Procurement Policy and Global Supplier Code of Conduct. Refer to G1-3 for details of the Anti-Corruption Anti-Bribery Policy which includes disclosure of functions within Genmab that are most at risk in respect of corruption and bribery. Other Genmab policies disclosed on our website or internal Genmab policies include the Enterprise Risk Management and Resilience Policy, International Trade Controls Policy, and Tax Policy.

Management of relationships with suppliers (G1-2)

Genmab’s Global Procurement functions which include, R&D Contract Management, Lab Purchase Management, CMC Commercial Supply Chain and Global Procurement (collectively known as “Procurement”) are created to be a trusted value adding partner to both internal and external stakeholders across the entire Genmab value chain.

Global Procurement Policy

Genmab’s Global Procurement Policy is an important tool utilized by our team members to steer the procurement practices and increase financial cost control and transparency within Genmab. Furthermore, the Policy helps assess and mitigate risk, ensure selection and maintenance of high quality, regulatory compliant third parties, through a transparent, fair, and compliant process. Genmab’s CFO is responsible for the policy, which is available on Genmab’s intranet. The Global Procurement Policy states that suppliers have to be on-boarded prior to engaging in a commercial relationship to ensure timely payment. The use of purchase orders, which is also mandated by the Procurement Policy, furthermore, facilitates approval of invoiced spend, ensuring that the agreed upon payment terms are being met. Suppliers that self-identify to Genmab as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), have 30 days net as a standard payment term unless contractually agreed otherwise in writing, which is clearly stated in the Global Procurement Policy. The procurement process is set up to facilitate on-time payments, starting with proper on-boarding of the suppliers prior to engaging in a commercial relationship, followed by a mandatory use of Purchase Requisitions and Purchase Orders (with an exception list), ensuring that, when an invoice is received it will be paid in a timely manner.

Supplier Code of Conduct

Our Supplier Code of Conduct articulates expectations for all third parties conducting work on our behalf, minimizing risks to Genmab posed by our suppliers’ activities. The Supplier Code of Conduct addresses topics that include, but are not limited to, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, privacy, trade compliance, conflicts of interest, human and labor rights, diversity, compliance with environmental laws and regulations, supply chain and animal welfare, protecting information and intellectual property, protecting physical and digital security and product compliance and quality. Our VP, Head of Global Procurement who reports to our CFO is responsible for the policy. In 2024 and 2023, all new Genmab suppliers have been required to attest to our Supplier Code of Conduct annually as part of the onboarding and contracting process. Our Global Procurement function implemented a dedicated supplier vetting tool which serves as a single point of entry for all new suppliers. Information technology & digital, quality assurance, compliance and risk, and legal functions are involved when the risk score is elevated based on a fact-based approach. Our vetting process focuses on financial health, international sanctions, regulatory and reputational risks, and other key issues. Suppliers in sanctioned countries are subject to additional legal review before payments may be processed. In 2023, we established a supplier diversity program in the U.S., working closely with entities such as the Veterans Administration to align on targets. Genmab defines a diverse supplier as a >51% women, minority, or veteran-owned small business. The Supplier Master Registry in SAP has been updated in 2024 with a specific field to allow Genmab to monitor supplier diversity for the U.S. We have created our first-ever Company-wide supplier governance best practices guide to improve how we work together across lines of business, and how we partner with suppliers so all teams can successfully execute against their goals. In January 2024, contract managers, sourcing managers, procurement leads and alliance managers have been trained on how and when to apply these best practices in support of our lines of businesses’ priorities and goals. A Vendor Risk Manager is planned to be on-boarded in 2025 to ensure proper documentation and tracking of the initiative. All the Genmab suppliers are vetted against unethical business practices, including adverse media, U.S. and EU Sanctions lists and the Global Corruption Index as well as a review of the financial health of the third party. The Global Procurement Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct can be mapped to the positive impact of our strong management of suppliers, focused on compliance with supplier code of conduct, and targets set are the responsibility of our global procurement team.# Management’s Review

Targets for supplier management

• Acceptance of Genmab’s Supplier Code of Conduct by 80% of suppliers by 2025

The target specifically supports important governance topics covered in the Supplier Code of Conduct including areas like legal compliance, anti-corruption and bribery, labor practices, human rights, supply chain, animal welfare, protection of information and intellectual property/security. Genmab will monitor, review and report metrics related to this target in the next annual report. Refer to E1-4 for details of Genmab’s engagement plans with suppliers on Scope 3 emission reductions targets.

Prevention and detection of corruption and bribery (G1-3)

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC) Policy

As a global company, we implement policies to mitigate risks related to bribery and corruption. Our Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC) Policy educates team members on recognizing risks, emphasizes our zero-tolerance stance, and outlines reporting mechanisms for suspected misconduct. All employees receive annual ABAC training, and we are enhancing due diligence and monitoring activities for better oversight. In 2023, we updated our Quarterly Financial Disclosure Questionnaire to improve management disclosures regarding potential bribery and corruption.

Sustainability Statements

Management identifies the primary bribery and corruption risks as payments or gifts intended to secure preferential treatment for the company. Employees interacting with public officials or regulatory representatives face heightened risks, as do those dealing with healthcare providers and third parties on Genmab’s behalf, especially due to limited oversight of third-party anti-corruption practices. Reports of bribery or corruption are reviewed by the Global Compliance Program, which reports directly to the CEO. Annual summaries are provided to the Global Compliance and Risk Committee and the Board, detailing all reported incidents. We consider all functions within the business to be potentially subject to corruption and bribery and as such, 100% of Genmab employees, contractors, and Board members must complete annual Code of Conduct training, which covers ABAC, regulatory issues, conflicts of interest, and reporting mechanisms. New hires also receive ABAC training. Our Compliance program maintains a SharePoint site for business conduct policies and uses the company intranet to communicate key concepts. Every two years, business functions assess their vulnerability to corruption and report findings to the Compliance organization, which may implement further controls. Our Internal Audit function also conducts an annual fraud assessment. The Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy can be mapped to the positive impact of our ethical business culture and business practices.

5.2 Business conduct metrics and targets

Incidents of corruption or bribery (G1-4)

Genmab defines bribery as acts designed to influence individuals to act dishonestly in the performance or discharge of their duty, and corruption as the misuse of office or power or influence for private gain. Genmab has a zero-tolerance policy for any acts of bribery or corruption by employees, contingent staff, management, officers, directors, or third-party agents or representatives. Genmab’s 24/7 Speak Up Compliance Hotline enables the anonymous reporting of behavior indicative of corruption or bribery. Our compliance team reviews these reports and supports investigations as warranted. A review of all hotline reported incidents indicates no submissions related to a Genmab employee, contingent staff, management, officer, director, or third-party agent or representative performing an act of bribery or corruption in 2024 or 2023, thus no incidents of corruption or bribery.

Payment practices (G1-6)

Standard payment terms are 45 days net. For certain categories of suppliers there are other possible payment terms, for example 30 days net allowed for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and 7 days net for Grants/Sponsorships and Government organizations. Genmab defines SMEs as enterprises which employ fewer than 10 persons or which have an annual turnover not exceeding EUR/USD 10 million. There were no legal proceedings for late payments in 2024, including payments to SMEs. Currently, Genmab does not have a process to track actual payment terms by main category of suppliers. However, the average time Genmab takes to pay an invoice for all suppliers with varying payment terms from the date when the contractual or statutory term of payment starts to be calculated, in number of days was 46 in 2024.

Genmab’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the financial statements of the parent company and subsidiaries — prepared under Genmab’s accounting policies — by combining similar accounting items on a line-by-line basis. On consolidation, intercompany income and expenses, intercompany receivables and payables, and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between the consolidated companies are eliminated. The recorded value of the equity interests in the consolidated subsidiaries is eliminated with the proportionate share of the subsidiaries’ equity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when control is transferred to the Group.

Items included in the financial statements of Genmab’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency). The income statements for subsidiaries with a different functional currency than Genmab’s presentation currency are translated into Genmab’s presentation currency at average exchange rates, and the balance sheets are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences arising from the translation of foreign subsidiaries shareholders’ equity at the beginning of the year and exchange rate differences arising as a result of foreign subsidiaries’ income statements being translated at average exchange rates are recorded in translation reserves in shareholders’ equity.

Functional and Presentation Currency

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Danish Kroner (DKK), which is the functional and presentation currency of the parent company.

Foreign Currency

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction. Exchange rate gains and losses arising between the transaction date and the settlement date are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as financial income or expense. Unsettled monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Exchange rate gains and losses arising between the transaction date and the balance sheet date are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as financial income or expense.

Classification of Costs and Operating Expenses in the Income Statement

Cost of Product Sales

Cost of product sales includes direct and indirect costs relating to the manufacturing of inventory mainly from third-party providers of manufacturing as well as costs related to internal resources and distribution and logistics. Inventory amounts written down as a result of excess or obsolescence are charged to cost of product sales. Also included in Cost of Product Sales are royalty payments on commercialized products. Aside from these items, there are no other costs included within cost of product sales. Additionally, cost of product sales includes profit-sharing amounts owed to collaboration partners for the sale of commercial products when Genmab is determined to be the principal in sales to end customers. The only profit-sharing amounts owed to collaboration partners that are recorded as cost of product sales relate to sales of EPKINLY in the U.S. and Japan pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement with AbbVie. Refer to Note 5.6 in the Annual Report for detailed information regarding Genmab’s Collaboration Agreement with AbbVie.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses primarily include salaries, benefits and other employee-related costs of Genmab’s research and development staff, license costs, manufacturing costs, preclinical costs, clinical trials, contractors and outside service fees, amortization and impairment of licenses and rights related to intangible assets, depreciation of property and equipment, and depreciation of right-of-use assets, to the extent that such costs are related to the Group’s research and development activities. Refer to Note 3.1 for a more detailed description on the treatment of Genmab’s research and development expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses relate to the management and administration of Genmab, including commercialization activities.

Acquisition and Integration Related Charges

Acquisition and integration related charges for the acquisition of ProfoundBio which occurred during the second quarter of 2024. Refer to Note 5.5 for more information regarding Genmab’s Acquisition and Integration costs related to the acquisition of ProfoundBio.

Government Grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that Genmab will comply with all attaching conditions. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as a reduction of that expense on a systematic basis over the periods that the costs for which it is intended to compensate are incurred. Where the grant relates to an asset, the fair value is credited to a contract liability account and is released to the statement of comprehensive income as other operating income over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual installments.

Statements of Cash Flows

The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method with basis in the net profit before tax. Cash flows from operating activities are stated as the net profit before tax adjusted for financial income and expense, non-cash operating items including depreciation, amortization, impairment losses, share-based compensation expenses, and for changes in operating assets and liabilities, interest paid and received, interest elements of lease payments and corporate taxes paid or received. Operating assets and liabilities are mainly comprised of changes in receivables, inventories and other payables excluding the items included in cash and cash equivalents. Changes in non-current assets and liabilities are included in operating assets and liabilities, if related to the main revenue-producing activities of Genmab.

Cash flows from investing activities consist of acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, purchases and sales of marketable securities and other investments, as well as purchases of intangible assets and property and equipment.# Financial Statements for the Genmab Group

Collaborations, License Agreements and Collaborative Agreements

Collaborations and License Agreements

Genmab continues to pursue the establishment of research collaborations and licensing agree- ments. These arrangements often include upfront payments, expense reimbursements or payments to the collaboration partner, and milestone and royalty arrangements, contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. In regard to Genmab’s license agreements with J&J, Novartis and Roche, each of these parties retain final decision-making authority over the relevant activities and as such no joint control exists. Refer to Note 2.1 for additional information related to revenue from these parties.

Collaborative Agreements

Genmab has entered into a number of joint collaborative agreements. These agreements often include upfront payments, expense reim- bursements or payments to the collaboration partner, and milestone and royalty arrangements, contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. These agreements also provide Genmab with varying rights to develop, produce and market products together with its collaborative partners. Both parties in these arrangements share in the decision-making and therefore have joint control of the arrangement. In 2024, Genmab’s more significant collaboration agreements are with AbbVie (epcoritamab), Pfizer (tisotumab vedotin) and BioNTech. Refer to Note 2.1 for additional information related to revenue from our joint collabora- tive agreements. Refer to Note 5.6 for detailed information regarding Genmab’s significant Research Collaborations, License Agreements and Collaborative Agreements.

1.2 New Accounting Policies and Disclosures

New Accounting Policies and Disclosures for 2024

Genmab has, with effect from January 1, 2024, implemented the following standards and amendments:

  • Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback
  • Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current — Deferral of Effective Date, and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants, and
  • Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements

The implementation of these amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements for the current or prior reporting periods and is not expected to have a significant impact in future reporting periods.

New Accounting Policies and Disclosures Effective in 2025 or Later

Furthermore, as it relates to new or amended accounting standards and interpretations (IFRSs) issued by the IASB, management does not anticipate any significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period of initial application from the adoption of these new standards and amend- ments, apart from IFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’ which replaces IAS 1 effective from 1 January 2027. The new IFRS 18 is expected to change the presentation of the financial statements, requiring items of income and expense to be classified into five categories: operating, investing, finance, income taxes and discon- tinued operations along with two new mandatory sub-totals, operating profit or loss and profit or loss before financing and income taxes. IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements.

1.3 Management’s Judgements and Estimates under IFRS

In preparing financial statements under IFRS, certain provisions in the standards require management’s judgements, including various accounting estimates and assumptions. These judgements and estimates affect the applica- tion of accounting policies, as well as reported amounts within the consolidated financial state- ments and disclosures. Determining the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities requires judgements, estimates and assumptions concerning future events that are based on historical experience and other factors, which by their very nature are associated with uncertainty and unpredictability. Accounting estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors relative to the circumstances in which they are applied. Estimates are generally made based on informa- tion available at the time. Accounting judgements are made in the process of applying accounting policies. These judgements are typically made based on the guidance and information available at the time of application. These estimates and judgements may prove incomplete or incorrect, and unexpected events or circumstances may arise. Genmab is also subject to risks and uncertainties which may lead actual results to differ from these estimates, both positively and negatively. Specific risks for Genmab are discussed in the relevant section of this Annual Report and in the notes to the consol- idated financial statements.

The areas involving a high degree of judgement and estimation that are significant to the consoli- dated financial statements are summarized below. Refer to the identified notes for further information on the key accounting estimates and judgements utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies

Genmab recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that Genmab determines are within the scope of IFRS 15, Genmab performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Genmab only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.# Financial Statements for the Genmab Group

Management’s Review

Other Information

Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Financial Statements

Reimbursement Revenue for R&D Services:

Genmab’s research collaboration agreements include provisions for reimbursement or cost sharing for R&D services and payment for full time equivalents (“FTEs”) at contractual rates. R&D services are performed and satisfied over time given that the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by Genmab and revenue for research services is recognized over time rather than at a point in time.

Milestone Revenue:

Certain of Genmab’s license and collaboration agreements include development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments based on the level of sales. At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, Genmab evaluates whether the achievement of milestones is considered highly probable and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the most likely amount method. If it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the control of Genmab or the license and collaboration partner, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The transaction price is then allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which Genmab recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, Genmab re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such development milestones and commercial milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up basis, which would affect revenue and earnings in the period of adjustment. Under all of Genmab’s existing license and collaboration agreements, milestone payments have been allocated to the license transfer performance obligation.

License Revenue for Intellectual Property:

If the license to Genmab’s functional intellectual property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement, Genmab recognizes revenues from non-refundable upfront fees allocated to the license at the point in time the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For licenses that are bundled with other promises, Genmab utilizes judgement to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees. Under all of Genmab’s existing license and collaboration agreements the license to functional intellectual property has been determined to be distinct from other performance obligations identified in the agreement.

Collaboration Revenue:

Collaboration revenue includes the result of profit sharing arrangements for the sale of commercial products by our collaboration partners. When Genmab’s collaboration partner is determined to be the principal in sales to end customers, Genmab’s share of profits for the sale of commercial products is included in collaboration revenue.

Net Product Sales:

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when control is transferred to the customer and it is probable that Genmab will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for transferring the products. Control of the products is transferred at a single point in time which occurs upon delivery to the customer. The amount of sales to be recognized is based on the consideration Genmab expects to receive in exchange for its goods. When sales are recognized, an estimate for a variety of sales deductions is also recorded such as cash discounts, government rebates, chargebacks, wholesaler fees, other rebates and administrative fees, sales returns and allowances and other sales discounts. Sales deductions are estimated and recognized as a reduction of gross product sales to arrive at net product sales, by assessing the expected value of the sales deductions (variable consideration). Sales deductions are estimated and provided for at the time the related sales are recorded. Genmab’s estimates related to sales deductions require significant use of estimates as not all conditions are known at the time of sale. The estimates are based on analyses of existing contractual obligations, historical experience, drug product analogs and payer channel mix. Genmab considers the provisions established for sales deductions to be reasonable and appropriate based on currently available information; however, the actual amount of deductions may differ from the amounts estimated by management as more information becomes available. Estimates will be assessed each period and adjusted as required based on updated information and actual experience. When Genmab is determined to be the principal in sales to end customers, all product sales are included in net product sales in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of December 31, 2024, all net product sales relate to sales of EPKINLY in the U.S. and Japan pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement with AbbVie. Refer to Note 5.6 for detailed information regarding Genmab’s significant Research Collaborations, License Agreements and Collaborative Agreements. Refer to Note 1.3 for management’s judgements and estimates related to revenue recognition.

2.2 Information about Geographical Areas

Genmab is managed and operated as one business unit, which is reflected in the organizational structure and internal reporting. No separate lines of business or separate business entities have been identified with respect to any licensed products, marketed products, product candidates or geographical markets and no segment information is currently prepared for internal reporting. Accordingly, it has been concluded that it is not relevant to include segment disclosures in the financial statements as Genmab’s business activities are not organized on the basis of differences in related product and geographical areas.

Total tax for the period in shareholders’ equity 49 57 (22)
Effective Tax Rate 14.4% 22.8% 21.5%

Corporate tax consists of current tax and the adjustment of deferred taxes during the year. The corporate tax expense was DKK 1,320 million in 2024, DKK 1,285 million in 2023 and DKK 1,493 million in 2022. Tax benefits of DKK 49 million in 2024, DKK 57 million in 2023 and tax expenses of DKK 22 million in 2022, related to excess tax benefits for share-based compensation were recorded directly in share-holders’ equity. As a result of the ProfoundBio integration activ- ities, Genmab utilized approximately DKK 2.2 billion of previously unrecognized tax losses during 2024. Genmab operates in multiple jurisdictions which have enacted new legislation to implement the global minimum top-up tax, which became effective on January 1, 2024. Under this legisla- tion, the Company is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between its GloBE Effective Tax Rate per jurisdiction and the minimum rate of 15 percent. The rules have no impact on the tax position of Genmab in 2024.

Taxation — Balance Sheet

Significant components of the deferred tax (liabilities) assets are as follows:

(DKK million) 2024 2023
Share-based instruments 270 41
Deferred revenue 120 113
Intangible assets (2,478)
Other temporary differences 637 58
Total at December 31 (1,451) 212

Genmab recognizes deferred tax assets if it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in the future. Management has considered future taxable income and applied its judgement in assessing whether deferred tax assets should be recognized. The difference between the deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2024 and the deferred tax liability acquired as part of the acquisition of ProfoundBio relates to the reestablishment of the deferred tax liability as a result of the transfer of intangible assets from ProfoundBio US to Genmab A/S during the fourth quarter of 2024. As of December 31, 2024, Genmab had estimated gross unrecognized tax loss carryforwards in the Netherlands of DKK 0.7 billion to reduce future taxable income. As of December 31, 2023, Genmab had estimated gross unrecognized tax loss carryforwards in the U.S. and in the Netherlands of DKK 2.1 billion and DKK 0.5 billion, respectively. The tax losses in the Netherlands available as of December 31, 2024, can be carried forward indefinitely.

Accounting Policies

Corporate Tax

Corporate tax, which consists of current tax and deferred taxes for the year, is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that the tax is attributable to items which directly relate to shareholders’ equity or other comprehensive income. Current tax assets and liabilities for current and prior periods are measured at the amounts expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred Tax

Deferred tax accounting requires recognition of deferred tax on all temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the tax base of such assets and liabilities. This includes the tax value of certain tax losses carried forward. Deferred tax is calculated in accordance with the tax regulations in the local countries and the tax rates expected to be in force at the time the deferred tax is utilized. Changes in deferred tax as a result of changes in tax rates are recognized in the income statement. Deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences, including the tax value of losses to be carried forward, are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the differences can be utilized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences that arise when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its tax basis or the carrying amount of a liability is less than its tax base.

Management’s Judgements and Estimates

Deferred Tax

Genmab recognizes deferred tax assets if management assesses that these tax assets can be offset against positive taxable income within the foreseeable future. This judgement is made on an ongoing basis and is based on numerous factors, including actual results, budgets, and business plans for the coming years. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon a number of factors, including estimated future taxable earnings, the timing and amount of which are highly uncertain. A significant portion of Genmab’s future taxable income will be driven by future events that are highly susceptible to factors outside the control of Genmab including overall commercial growth , specific clinical outcomes, regulatory approvals, advancement of Genmab’s product pipeline and other matters. As such, changes in estimates of future taxable income could impact Genmab’s future taxable income in a positive or negative manner. As a result of the ProfoundBio integration activities, Genmab, based on current business plans and estimates of future taxable income, recognized a significant portion of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets during 2024.

3.1 Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible Assets

The increase in the gross carrying value of other intangible assets during 2024 was primarily due to the addition of DKK 10,577 million of in-process research and development (IPR&D) and DKK 1,243 million of a technology platform asset from the ProfoundBio acquisition.

Financial Statements

Goodwill

The carrying amount of goodwill was DKK 2,535 million as of December 31, 2024, due to the acquisition of ProfoundBio (refer to Note 5.5). No impairment of goodwill was recognized in 2024 as the annual impairment test showed that the estimated recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount of the single cash-generating unit (CGU) to which all of Genmab’s goodwill was allocated. There was no goodwill balance as of December 31, 2023.

Accounting Policies

Research and Development Projects

Internal and subcontracted research costs are charged in full to research and development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs are also expensed until regulatory approval is obtained or is probable. Genmab has no internally generated intangible assets from development, as the criteria for recognition of an intangible asset are not met.

Genmab acquires licenses and rights primarily to gain access to targets and technologies identified by third parties. Payments to third parties under collaboration and license agreements are assessed to determine whether such payments should be expensed as incurred as research and development expenses or capitalized as an intangible asset. Licenses and rights that meet the criteria for capitalization as intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Milestone payments related to capitalized licenses and rights are accounted for as an increase in the cost to acquire licenses and rights.

For acquired research and development projects, and intellectual property rights, including acquisition in a business combination, the likelihood of obtaining future commercial sales is reflected in the cost of the asset, and thus the probability recognition criteria is always considered to be satisfied. As the cost of acquired research and development projects can often be measured reliably, these projects fulfil the capitalization criteria as intangible assets on acquisition. Development costs incurred subsequent to acquisition are treated consistently with internal project development costs.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting. Goodwill is allocated to each of the group’s CGU (or groups of CGUs) expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Genmab consists of one single CGU which represents its single operating segment.

Recognition and Measurement

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortization and any impairment loss. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment testing. For intellectual property rights acquired for research and development projects, upfront fees and acquisition costs are capitalized as the historical cost. Subsequent milestone payments payable on achievement of a contingent event will be capitalized when the contingent event being achieved is probable. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date.

Amortization

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized based on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. This corresponds to the legal duration or the economic useful life depending on which is shorter. The amortization of intellectual property rights, including IPR&D, commences after regulatory approval has been obtained or when assets are put in use.

Impairment

Goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for use (IPR&D) are tested for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. However, they are tested at least annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that they may be impaired. If circumstances or changes in Genmab’s operations indicate that the carrying amount of Goodwill, IPR&D or definite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable, management performs an impairment test of the asset for impairment.

Amortization, impairment losses, and gains or losses on the disposal of other intangible assets related to licenses and rights are recognized in Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as research and development expenses.

Management’s Judgments and Estimates

Impairment Assessment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis. Goodwill is monitored for impairment at the operating segment level, which is the lowest level CGU to which goodwill is allocated and monitored by Management.

Goodwill impairment tests are based on management’s estimate of recoverable amount determined as the greater of the fair value less cost to sell, or its value in use. Value in use is calculated based on a multiple applied on steady earnings from operations before tax generated from the CGU. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the recoverable amount, any impairment is measured as the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount. Any impairment is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill and any exceeding amount is allocated pro-rata to Genmab’s other assets in the CGU in the scope of IAS 36 but not less than their recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income when the impairment is identified. Impairments of goodwill are prohibited from future reversals.

As permitted under IAS 36 (Impairment of Assets), use of a short-cut quantitative impairment test may be relied on if conservative assumptions are utilized which would result in an underestimation of the recoverable amount. By applying a multiple of four on the previous twelve consecutive months operating profit before tax the estimated recoverable amount is higher than the carrying amount of the CGU. It is management’s assessment that a multiple of four is a conservative assumption compared to market observations. The operating profit before tax for the previous twelve consecutive months is based on recurring earnings and is considered a conservative measure of earnings for the next four years compared to the budget and forecast prepared by the Group. Thus, management has concluded that there is no impairment on goodwill.

As Genmab has a single CGU with a quoted market price of the entire Group (level 1 observable input), a high-level comparison between Genmab’s market capitalization and the recoverable amount was also performed to reaffirm the reasonableness of the short-cut approach to estimate recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the single CGU includes Genmab’s net assets, less cash and marketable securities as returns on such balances are not included in operating profit before tax and therefore are not included in the recoverable amount either.

The basis for the review of IPR&D impairment is also the recoverable amount. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset is greater than the recoverable amount, the intangible asset is written down to the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income when the impairment is identified. Impairments on intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date for possible reversal.

Factors considered material that could trigger an impairment test include the following:
* Development of a competing drug
* Realized sales trending below predicted sales
* Inconsistent or unfavorable clinical readouts
* Changes in the legal framework covering patents, rights, and licenses
* Advances in medicine and/or technology that affect the medical treatments
* Adverse impact on reputation and/or brand names

Variable lease payments, short-term lease expense, lease interest expense, low-value assets, and sublease income are immaterial.

Future minimum payments under leases are as follows:

More than 5 years 553 412 271
Total at December 31 1,245 900 663

Accounting Policies

All leases are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a right-of-use (ROU) asset with a corresponding lease liability, except for short-term leases in which the term is 12 months or less, or low-value leases. ROU assets represent Genmab’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent Genmab’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The ROU asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term on a straight-line basis. In the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, depreciation of the ROU asset is recognized over the lease term in operating expenses and interest expenses related to the lease liability are classified in financial items. Genmab determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Genmab leases various properties, vehicles, and IT equipment. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of terms and conditions. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. As Genmab’s leases generally do not provide an implicit interest rate, Genmab uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of the lease in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease terms utilized by Genmab may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that Genmab will exercise that option. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended. ROU assets are measured at cost and include the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs, and restoration costs. Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

3.4 Other Investments

Total at December 31 228 134

Other investments includes strategic investments in publicly traded common stock of companies, including common stock of companies with whom Genmab has entered into collaboration arrangements, investments in certain investment funds, as well as investments in shares of privately held companies.

Accounting Policies

Other investments are measured on initial recognition at fair value, and subsequently at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within financial income or expense. Other investments primarily consist of investments in certain strategic investment funds. Genmab’s share of the fair value of these fund investments is determined based on the valuation of the underlying investments included in the fund. Investments in publicly traded equity securities included in these strategic investment funds are valued based at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange or over-the- counter market on which they trade, while investments in non-publicly traded equity securities are based on other factors, including but not limited to, type of the security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the comparable companies, an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements and with respect to debt securities, the maturity and creditworthiness. As such, these fund investments have been characterized as Level 3 investments as fair values are based on significant unobservable inputs.

In 2024 and 2023, allowances related to write downs of excess and obsolete inventories were immaterial and recognized as expense within cost of product sales in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Inventory write down in 2023 pertaining to pre-launch inventories of EPKINLY was also immaterial. The write down was recorded as research and development expense in Genmab’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and was subsequently reversed upon receiving U.S. FDA approval during the second quarter of 2023.

Accounting Policies

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value with costs determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Costs comprise direct and indirect costs relating to the manufacture of inventory mainly from third-party providers of manufacturing as well as costs related to internal resources and distribution and logistics. Genmab assesses the recoverability of capitalized inventories during each reporting period and will write down excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value in the period in which the impairment is identified. Write downs of inventory are included within Cost of product sales in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Included in inventories are materials with the intended purpose of being made available for sale. If the materials are later used in the production of clinical products, the materials are charged to research and development expense when shipped to the clinical packaging site. Materials ordered exclusively to be used in Genmab’s research and development process (e.g., early research/clinical trials) are immediately expensed to research and development based on the relevant shipping terms (FOB destination/shipping point). Inventory manufactured prior to regulatory approval of a product (prelaunch inventory) is written down to its net realizable value (that is the probable amount expected to be realized from its sale or use at the time of production).The amount of this write down is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as research and development expenses. Once there is a high probability of regulatory approval being obtained for the product, inventory costs begin to be capitalized. Additionally, the write-down is reversed, up to no more than the original cost. The reversal of the write-down is recognized as a reduction to research and development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

3.6 Receivables (DKK million)

2024 2023

Non-current receivables 52 62
Current receivables 6,590 4,947
Total at December 31 6,642 5,009

During 2024 and 2023, there were no losses related to receivables and the credit risk on receivables is considered to be limited. The provision for expected credit losses was zero given that there have been no credit losses over the last three years and the limited credit risk due to high-quality nature with high credit ratings (top tier life science companies and major distributors) of Genmab’s customers are not likely to result in future default risk. The receivables are mainly comprised of royalties, trade receivables, milestones and amounts due under collaboration agreements and are non-interest bearing receivables which are due less than one year from the balance sheet date. Refer to Note 4.2 for additional information about interest receivables and related credit risk.

Genmab 2024 Annual Report Financial Statements Accounting Policies

Initially, trade receivables are designated as financial assets measured at transaction price and other receivables are measured at fair value. Subsequently receivables are measured in the balance sheet at amortized cost, which generally corresponds to nominal value less expected credit losses. Accounts receivable arising from product sales consists of amounts due from customers, net of customer allowances for chargebacks, cash and other discounts and estimated credit losses. Genmab’s contracts with customers have initial payment terms that range from 30 to 180 days. Genmab utilizes a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses and uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, receivables have been grouped based on credit risk characteristics and the days past due. Prepayments include expenditures related to a future financial period. Prepayments are measured at nominal value.

3.7 Contract Liabilities

Genmab has recognized the following liabilities related to the AbbVie collaboration agreement.

2024 2023
Contract liabilities at January 1 513 513

Total at December 31 504 513
Non-current contract liabilities 480 480
Current contract liabilities 24 33
Total at December 31 504 513

Contract liabilities were recognized in connection with the AbbVie collaboration agreement. An upfront payment of USD 750 million (DKK 4,911 million) was received in July 2020 of which DKK 4,398 million was recognized as license revenue during 2020. The revenue deferred at the initiation of the AbbVie agreement in June 2020 related to four product concepts to be identified and subject to a research agreement to be negotiated between Genmab and AbbVie. During the first quarter of 2022, Genmab and AbbVie entered into the aforementioned research agreement that governs the research and development activities in regard to the product concepts. As part of the continued evaluation of contract liabilities related to the AbbVie collaboration agreement, Genmab’s classification of contract liabilities reflects the current estimate of co-development activities as of December 31, 2024. Contract liabilities have been recognized as reimbursement revenue during the second half of 2024. Refer to Note 5.6 for additional information related to the AbbVie collaboration.

Current other payables 3,482 2,307
Total at December 31 3,512 2,342

Accounting Policies

Other payables, excluding provisions, are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured in the balance sheet at amortized cost. The current other payables are comprised of liabilities that are due less than one year from the balance sheet date and are in general not interest bearing and settled on an ongoing basis during the next financial year. Non-current payables are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the liability due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Accounts Payable Accounts payable are measured in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost. Other Liabilities Other liabilities primarily include accrued expenses related to our research and development project costs and are measured in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost.

Section 4 Capital Structure, Financial Risk and Related Items

This section includes disclosures related to how Genmab manages its capital structure, cash position and related risks and items. Genmab is primarily financed through partnership collaborations.

4.1 Capital Management

Genmab’s goal is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and to have adequate liquidity to support the continuous advancement of Genmab’s product pipeline and business in general. To achieve this goal Genmab invests in different liquidity tiers. To meet operational goals, Genmab invests in cash and cash equivalents (marketable securities). To ensure sufficient reserves, Genmab invests in short-term securities with an average duration of about six months, which serves as back-up liquidity for the operating tier. For strategic purposes, Genmab has short term investments to support the Company’s growth over the longer term. Most of Genmab’s cash and marketable securities are in USD due to having a larger USD expenditure base than DKK, which provides better matching of investment balances with actual expenditures. Genmab is primarily financed through revenues under various collaboration agreements and had, as of December 31, 2024, cash, and cash equivalents of DKK 9,858 million and marketable securities of DKK 11,243 million compared to DKK 14,867 million and DKK 13,268 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Genmab’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities support the advancement of our product pipeline and operations. The adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the level of DARZALEX and other royalty streams, progress in our research and development programs, the magnitude of those programs, our commitments to existing and new clinical collaborators, our ability to establish commercial and licensing arrangements, our capital expenditures, market developments, and any future acquisitions. Accordingly, Genmab may require additional funds and may attempt to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings, collaborative agreements with partners, or from other sources. During the fourth quarter of 2024, Genmab entered into an unsecured three-year revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) of up to USD 300 million with a syndicate of lenders. Genmab intends to use the Credit Facility to finance working capital needs, and for general corporate purposes, of Genmab A/S and its subsidiaries. The Credit Facility includes options to increase the size of the facility up to USD 500 million as well as the ability to extend for an additional two years. The Credit Facility contains certain customary financial covenants. As of December 31, 2024, there were no outstanding amounts due on, nor any usage of, the Credit Facility and Genmab was in compliance with all financial covenants. The Board monitors the share and capital structure to ensure that Genmab’s capital resources support its strategic goals. Neither Genmab A/S nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

4.2 Financial Risk

The financial risks of Genmab are managed centrally. The overall risk management guidelines have been approved by the Board of Directors and include the Group’s investment policy related to our marketable securities. The Group’s risk management guidelines are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Genmab Group, to set the appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor the risks and adherence to limits. It is Genmab’s policy not to actively speculate in financial risks. The Group’s financial risk management is directed solely towards monitoring and reducing financial risks which are directly related to Genmab’s operations. The primary objective of Genmab’s investment activities is to preserve capital and ensure liquidity with a secondary objective of maximizing the return derived from security investments without significantly increasing risk.# Financial Statements

Management’s Review

Other Information

Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Financial Statements

In addition to the capital management and financing risk mentioned in Note 4.1, Genmab has identified the following key financial risk areas, which are mainly related to our marketable securities portfolio:

  • credit risk;
  • foreign currency risk; and
  • interest rate risk

All of Genmab’s marketable securities are traded in established markets. Given the current market conditions, all future cash inflows, including re-investments of proceeds from the disposal of marketable securities, are invested in highly liquid, investment grade securities. Refer to Note 4.4 for additional information regarding marketable securities.

Credit Risk

Genmab is exposed to credit risk and losses on marketable securities, bank deposits and receivables. The maximum credit exposure related to Genmab’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities was DKK 21,101 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to DKK 28,135 million as of December 31, 2023. The maximum credit exposure to Genmab’s receivables was DKK 6,642 million as of December 31, 2024 compared to DKK 5,009 million as of December 31, 2023.

Marketable Securities

To manage and reduce credit risks on our securities, Genmab’s policy is to ensure only securities from investment grade issuers are eligible for our portfolios. No issuer of marketable securities can be accepted if the issuer, at the time of purchase, does not have the credit quality equal to or better than the rating shown in the table below from at least one of the rating agencies. If an issuer is rated by more than one of the rating agencies listed below, the credit assessment is made against the lowest rating available for the issuer.

Category S&P Moody’s Fitch
Short-term A-2 P-2 F-2
Long-term BBB- Baa3 BBB-

Genmab’s current portfolio is spread over a number of different securities with a focus on liquidity and security. As of December 31, 2024, 71% of Genmab’s marketable securities were long-term A rated or higher, or short-term A-1/P-1 rated by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch compared to 72% as of December 31, 2023. The total value of marketable securities amounted to DKK 11,243 million at the end of 2024 compared to DKK 13,268 million at the end of 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

To reduce the credit risk on our bank deposits, Genmab’s policy is only to invest its cash deposits with highly rated financial institutions. Currently, these financial institutions have a short-term Fitch and S&P rating of at least F-1 and A-1, respectively. In addition, Genmab maintains bank deposits at a level necessary to support the short-term funding requirements of Genmab. The total value of bank deposits including AAA rated money market funds and short-term marketable securities classified as cash equivalents amounted to DKK 9,858 million as of December 31, 2024 compared to DKK 14,867 million at the end of 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of cash used to acquire ProfoundBio in the second half of 2024.

Receivables

The credit risk related to our receivables is not significant based on the high-quality nature of Genmab’s collaboration partners. As disclosed in Note 2.2, J&J, Novartis, Roche, AbbVie and BioNTech are Genmab’s primary partners in which receivables are established for royalties, milestone revenue and reimbursement revenue. These are long-standing relationships and Genmab does not have a history of writing off receivables from collaboration partners.

Foreign Currency Risk

Genmab’s presentation currency is the DKK; however, Genmab’s revenues and expenses are in a number of different currencies. Consequently, there is a substantial risk of exchange rate fluctuations having an impact on Genmab’s cash flows, profit (loss) and/or financial position in DKK. The majority of Genmab’s revenue is generated in USD. Exchange rate changes to the USD will result in changes to the translated value of future net profit before tax and cash flows. Genmab’s revenue in USD was 79% of total revenue in 2024 as compared to 86% in 2023 and 89% in 2022.

Under our license agreement with J&J for DARZALEX, for purposes of calculating royalties due to Genmab, DARZALEX net sales for non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at a specified annual Currency Hedge Rate. Movements in foreign exchanges against the annual Currency Hedge Rate will result in changes to royalties due to Genmab impacting net profit before tax and cash flows.

There is also exposure that exchange rate fluctuations may impact equity as part of the currency translation adjustments required to convert the investments in foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies to the presentation currency during consolidation, however any such fluctuations would be immaterial. The foreign subsidiaries are not significantly affected by currency risks as both revenues and expenses are primarily settled in the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies. Foreign currency risk is primarily concentrated at the Genmab A/S level as transactions with subsidiaries are primarily in the functional currency of the subsidiary. To manage and reduce this foreign currency risk, Genmab maintains a large portion of its investment portfolio in marketable securities in USD (approximately 76%) as well as a portion of our investment portfolio in DKK, EUR, and GBP denominated securities as a natural partial hedge of Genmab A/S’ liability exposures in these currencies.

Assets and Liabilities in Foreign Currency

Genmab’s marketable securities denominated in USD, DKK, EUR, and GBP as a percentage of total marketable securities were as follows:

Percent 2024 2023
USD 76% 81%
DKK 15% 12%
EUR 8% 6%
GBP 1% 1%
Total at December 31 100% 100%

Genmab’s USD currency exposure is mainly related to cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and receivables related to our collaborations with J&J, AbbVie, and Roche. Significant changes in the exchange rate of USD to DKK could cause net profit before tax to change materially as gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Based on the amount of assets and liabilities denominated in USD as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, a 10% increase/decrease in the USD to DKK exchange rate is estimated to impact Genmab’s net profit before tax by approximately DKK 1.9 billion and DKK 2.7 billion, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The movements in the income statement and equity arise from monetary items (cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, and liabilities) where the functional currency of the entity differs from the currency that the monetary items are denominated in.

Genmab’s EUR exposure is mainly related to our marketable securities, receivables under our collaboration with BioNTech, and other costs denominated in EUR. Since the introduction of the EUR in 1999, Denmark has committed to maintaining a central rate of 7.46 DKK to the EUR. This rate may fluctuate within a +/- 2.25% band. Should Denmark’s policy toward the EUR change, the DKK values of our EUR denominated assets and costs could be materially different compared to what is calculated and reported under the existing Danish policy toward the DKK/EUR. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Genmab’s EUR exposure is not material.

Genmab’s GBP currency exposure is mainly related to contracts and marketable securities denominated in GBP. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Genmab’s GBP exposure is not material.

Interest Rate Risk

Genmab’s exposure to interest rate risk is primarily related to marketable securities, as Genmab currently does not have significant interest-bearing debts.

Marketable Securities

The securities in which the Group has invested bear interest rate risk, as a change in market-derived interest rates may cause fluctuations in the fair value of the investments. In accordance with the objective of the investment activities, the portfolio of securities is monitored on a total return basis. To control and minimize the interest rate risk, Genmab maintains an investment portfolio in a variety of securities with a relatively short effective duration with both fixed and variable interest rates. A sensitivity analysis was performed on Genmab’s marketable securities, and based on exposures in 2023 and 2024, a hypothetical +/- 1% interest rate change would not have resulted in a material change in the fair values of these financial instruments.# 4.3 Financial Assets and Liabilities

Due to the short- term nature of the current investments and to the extent that Genmab is able to hold the investments to maturity, the current exposure to changes in fair value due to interest rate changes is considered to be insignificant compared to the fair value of the portfolio.

Marketable Securities

Substantially all fair market values are determined by reference to external sources using unadjusted quoted prices in established markets for our marketable securities (Level 1).

Other Investments

Other investments primarily consist of investments in certain strategic investment funds. Genmab’s share of the fair value of these fund investments is determined based on the valuation of the underlying investments included in the fund. Investments in publicly traded equity securities included in these strategic investment funds are valued based at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange or over-the-counter market on which they trade, while investments in non-publicly traded equity securities are based on other factors, including but not limited to, type of the security, the size of the holding, the initial cost of the security, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the comparable companies, an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements and with respect to debt securities, the maturity and creditworthiness. As such, these fund investments have been characterized as Level 3 investments as fair values are not entirely based on observable market data. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during 2024 or 2023.

Acquisitions (capital calls), fair value changes and foreign currency changes on Level 3 investments in 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Accounting Policies

Classification Of Categories Of Financial Assets And Liabilities

Genmab classifies its financial assets held into the following measurement categories:
• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
• those to be measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

Genmab reclassifies debt investments only when its business model for managing those assets changes. Further details about the accounting policy for each of the categories are outlined in the respective notes.

Fair Value Measurement

Genmab measures financial instruments, such as marketable securities, at fair value at each balance sheet date. Management assessed that the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost such as bank deposits, receivables and other payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by Genmab. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. Genmab uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

For financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, IFRS 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
• Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
• Level 3 — Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, Genmab determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. Any transfers between the different levels are carried out at the end of the reporting period.

Accounting Policies

Marketable securities are debt instruments that consist of investments in securities with a maturity of 90 days or greater at the time of acquisition. Measurement of marketable securities depends on the business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. Genmab assesses its debt instruments to determine classification based on the following measurement categories:

  • Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other financial income or expenses, together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses, when material, are presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
  • Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held to achieve an objective by both collecting contractual cash flows as well as selling financial assets and where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Changes in fair value on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVOCI are recognized in other comprehensive income. Impairment gains and losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and presented within financial income or expenses in the period in which they arise.
  • Fair value through profit and loss (FVPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and presented net within financial income or expenses in the period in which it arises.

Genmab’s portfolio is managed and evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with its stated investment guidelines and the information provided internally to management. This business model does not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI and as a result marketable securities are measured at FVPL. This classification is consistent with the prior year’s classification. Genmab invests its cash in deposits with major financial institutions, in AAA rated money market funds, Danish mortgage bonds, investment grade rated corporate debt, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, certain types of AAA rated asset backed securities, U.S.# Financial Statements for the Genmab Group

Interest Income

Interest income was DKK 995 million in 2024 compared to DKK 982 million in 2023 and DKK 324 million in 2022. The increase of DKK 13 million, or 1% from 2023 to 2024, was primarily driven by the higher cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities in the first half of 2024 compared to 2023, almost entirely offset by lower cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities in the second half of 2024 compared to 2023 as a result of liquidating marketable securities and using cash to purchase ProfoundBio. The increase of 658 million, or 203% from 2022 to 2023 was primarily driven by higher effective interest rates in the U.S., Europe, and Denmark.

Foreign Exchange Rate Gains and Losses

Foreign exchange rate gains, net of DKK 1,339 million in 2024 compared to foreign exchange rate loss, net of DKK 889 million in 2023 was primarily driven by foreign exchange movements impacting Genmab’s USD denominated marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents. Foreign exchange rate loss, net of DKK 889 million in 2023 compared to foreign exchange rate gain, net of DKK 1,051 million in 2022 was primarily driven by foreign exchange movements impacting Genmab’s USD denominated marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents; in particular, the USD/DKK foreign exchange rates were as follows for each period:

December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
USD/DKK Foreign Exchange Rates 7.1429 6.7447 6.9722
% Increase/(Decrease) 6% (3)% 6%

Refer to Note 4.2 for additional information on foreign currency risk.

Marketable Securities Gains and Losses

Gain on marketable securities, net was DKK 217 million in 2024 compared to gain on marketable securities, net of DKK 319 million in 2023 and loss on marketable securities, net of DKK 361 million in 2022. The decrease in gain of DKK 102 million, or 32% from 2023 to 2024 was primarily driven by the decrease in marketable securities in the first half of 2024 to fund the acquisition of ProfoundBio and share repurchase as well as changing interest rate outlooks for the U.S., primarily in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in gain of DKK 680 million, or 188% from 2022 to 2023, was primarily driven by interest rate outlooks for the U.S. and Europe.

Other Investments

Gains on other investments, net were DKK 30 million in 2024, losses on other investments, net were DKK 26 million in 2023 and DKK 297 million in 2022. The net gains and losses in 2024 and 2023 were primarily driven by changes in fair value of Genmab’s investments in certain strategic investment funds. The losses in 2022 were primarily driven by the change in fair value of Genmab’s investment in common shares of CureVac.

Accounting Policies

Financial income and expenses include interest as well as foreign exchange rate adjustments and gains and losses on marketable securities (designated as FVPL) and realized gains and losses and write-downs of other securities and equity interests. Interest income is shown separately from gains and losses on marketable securities and other securities and equity interests.

Accounting Policies

Share-Based Compensation Expenses

Share-based compensation expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income based on the estimated fair value of the awards at grant date. Subsequently, the fair value is not remeasured. The expense recognized reflects an estimate of the number of awards expected to vest after taking into consideration an estimate of award forfeitures based on historical experience and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

Genmab reassesses its estimate of the number of shares expected to vest periodically. Management expectations related to the achievement of performance goals associated with performance-based RSU grants are assessed periodically, and that assessment is used to determine whether such grants are expected to vest or if any revision to the current estimate is required. Genmab recognizes the impact of the revised estimate of the number of awards expected to vest, if any, as an adjustment to the income statement over the remaining vesting period. If performance-based milestones related to performance-based RSU grants are not met or not expected to be met, any share-based compensation expense recognized to date associated with grants that are not expected to vest will be reversed.

Share-based compensation expenses represent calculated values of warrants, RSUs and performance-based RSUs granted and do not represent actual cash expenditures. A corresponding amount is recognized in shareholders’ equity as the warrant, RSU and performance-based RSU programs are designated as equity-settled share-based payment transactions. The fair value of each RSU and performance-based RSU granted during the year are calculated using the closing share price on the grant date. Below is a description on how the fair value of warrants is measured and the estimates involved.

Management’s Judgements and Estimates

Share-Based Compensation Expenses

The fair value of each warrant granted during the year is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions such as:

  • The expected stock price volatility, which is based upon the historical volatility of Genmab’s stock price;
  • The risk-free interest rate, which is determined as the interest rate on Danish government bonds (bullet issues) with an average maturity of five years;
  • The expected life of warrants, which is based on vesting terms, expected rate of exercise and life terms in the current warrant program.

These assumptions can vary over time and can change the fair value of future warrants granted.

Valuation Assumptions for Warrants Granted in 2024, 2023 and 2022

The fair value of each warrant granted during the year is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

5.5 Acquisition of Businesses

On May 21, 2024 (Acquisition Date), Genmab completed the previously announced acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of ProfoundBio, resulting in ProfoundBio becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Genmab. The acquisition of ProfoundBio gave Genmab worldwide rights to three candidates in clinical development, including ProfoundBio’s lead drug candidate, rinatabart sesutecan (Rina-S). In addition, Genmab acquired ProfoundBio’s novel ADC technology platforms.

Rina-S is a clinical-stage, FRα-targeted, TOPO1 ADC, which was in Phase 2 of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial at the time of the acquisition, for the treatment of ovarian cancer and other FRα-expressing solid tumors. Based on the data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial Genmab intends to broaden the development plans for Rina-S within ovarian cancer and other FRα-expressing solid tumors. In January 2024, the U.S. FDA granted Fast Track designation to Rina-S for the treatment of patients with FRα-expressing high-grade serous or endometrioid platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

In addition to payment of USD 1.72 billion (DKK 11.80 billion) for all of the outstanding shares of ProfoundBio, Genmab also made a USD 199 million (DKK 1,368 million) payment to holders of outstanding ProfoundBio equity awards for settlement of such vested and non-vested awards. Of the USD 199 million (DKK 1,368 million) payment, USD 187 million (DKK 1,289 million) related to the portion of awards where the vesting period was completed prior to the Acquisition Date. This portion of the payment was therefore determined to be attributable to the pre-combination period and included in purchase consideration. The remaining USD 11 million (DKK 79 million) payment related to the portion of awards with future vesting conditions, and therefore is attributable to post-combination services. The amount attributable to the post-combination service does not form part of the consideration and was therefore instead recognized as Acquisition and integration related charges in Genmab’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the Acquisition Date and consolidated into Genmab’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of operations for ProfoundBio have been included in Genmab’s consolidated financial statements from the Acquisition Date.

A fair value measurement has been performed and the purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets, associated deferred tax liabilities, other assets and liabilities, as well as goodwill being the excess value of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (the purchase price allocation). Adjustments may be applied to the purchase price allocation for a period of up to 12 months from the Acquisition Date. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment impacting non-current deferred tax liabilities and goodwill that was not material.

The total consideration for the acquisition of ProfoundBio is summarized as follows:

Amounts in USD millions Amounts in DKK millions
Cash paid for outstanding shares 1,718 11,798
Cash for equity compensation attributable to pre-combination service 187 1,289
Total consideration 1,905 13,087
Cash acquired (122) (841)
Cash used for acquisition of business 1,783 12,246

The purchase price allocation resulted in the following amounts being allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date based upon their respective fair values summarized below:

Amounts in USD millions Amounts in DKK millions
Cash and cash equivalents 122 841
Other current assets* 4 29
Property and equipment 6 41
IPR&D 1,540 10,577
Technology platform intangible asset 181 1,243
Other non-current assets** 3 21
Deferred tax liability (292) (2,010)
Other current liabilities*** (13) (91)
Total identifiable net assets 1,551 10,651
Goodwill 354 2,436
Total consideration 1,905 13,087

* Includes receivables and other investments
** Includes other investments and right-of-use assets
*** Includes other payables, contract liabilities, lease and other liabilities

Financial Statements for the Genmab Group

The carrying values of other current assets, property and equipment, other non-current assets and other current liabilities were determined to approximate their fair values.

The fair value assigned to acquired IPR&D, which was calculated using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach, was based on the present value of expected after-tax cash flows attributable to Rina-S, which was in Phase 1/2 testing. The present value of expected after-tax cash flows obtainable from Rina-S and assigned to IPR&D was determined by estimating the after-tax costs to complete development of Rina-S into a commercially viable product, estimating future revenue and ongoing expenses to produce, support and sell Rina-S, on an after-tax basis, and discounting the resulting net cash flows to present value. The revenue and costs projections used were reduced based on the probability that compounds at similar stages of development will become commercially viable products. The rate utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present value reflects the risk associated with the future earnings attributable to the intangible asset. Acquired IPR&D will be accounted for as an intangible asset not yet available for use until regulatory approval in a major market is received or development is discontinued.

The fair value of the technology platform intangible asset was calculated using the relief from royalty method of the income approach. This method includes assigning value based on the economic savings from owning, rather than in-licensing, the technology platform intangible asset supported by observable market data for peer companies, then discounting the resulting probability adjusted net post-tax cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with the future income or cost savings attributable to the intangible asset. The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the acquired intangible assets include discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of future cash flows (such as probabilities of technical and regulatory success, revenue growth rates, operating margins, and royalty rates).

The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition. The goodwill recorded as part of the acquisition is attributable to the intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition at the time of the acquisition, assembled workforce and deferred tax consequences of the IPR&D and technology platform intangible asset recorded for financial statement purposes. Genmab does not expect any portion of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition has been recorded as a non-current asset in Genmab’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and is not amortized, but is subject to review for impairment annually. Refer to Note 3.1 for further details related to the accounting for goodwill.From the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2024, Genmab’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income include no revenue and the following expenses associated with the acquisition and operations of ProfoundBio (in DKK millions):

Acquisition Date through December 31, 2024 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (DKK million):
Research and development expenses 403
Selling, general and administrative expenses 27
Acquisition and integration related charges* 187
Total 617
  • Acquisition related charges incurred from the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2024, are comprised of payments to holders of outstanding ProfoundBio equity awards related to post-combination services (DKK 79 million). The remaining expenses are integration related charges incurred from the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2024, which are comprised of professional fees incurred to assist with the integration of ProfoundBio into Genmab’s operations post-acquisition. Additionally, prior to the Acquisition Date, Genmab recorded DKK 113 million in Acquisition and integration related charges in Genmab’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income related to professional due diligence procedures in connection with the acquisition of ProfoundBio. The DKK 113 million of Acquisition and integration related charges incurred prior to the Acquisition Date and the DKK 187 million of Acquisition and integration charges incurred from the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2024 total DKK 300 million through the fourth quarter of 2024.

The following table provides Genmab’s consolidated revenue and net profit for 2024 as if the acquisition of ProfoundBio had occurred on January 1, 2024 (in DKK millions):

Twelve Month Period Ended December 31, 2024 (DKK million)
Revenue 21,526
Net Profit 7,622

The unaudited pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations of the combined entities that would have been achieved, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations. The unaudited pro forma information reflects certain adjustments that were directly attributable to the acquisition of ProfoundBio, including additional amortization adjustments for the fair value of the technology platform intangible asset acquired. As of December 31, 2024, Cash and cash equivalents in Genmab’s Consolidated Balance Sheets includes USD 30 million (DKK 214 million) of restricted cash balances for funds held in escrow related to the acquisition of ProfoundBio.

Accounting Policies

Business Combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all acquisitions where the target company meets the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3 (Business Combinations). The purchase price for a business is comprised of the fair value of the assets transferred and liabilities owned to the former owners, including option holders, of the acquired business and the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any amount of the purchase price which effectively comprises a settlement of a pre-existing relationship is not part of the exchange for the acquiree and is therefore not included in the consideration for the purpose of applying the acquisition method. Settlements of pre-existing relationships are accounted for as separate transactions in accordance with the relevant IFRS standards. Identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are measured at fair value on the date of acquisition by applying relevant valuation methods. Goodwill is recognized as the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related charges are expensed as incurred and included within Acquisition and integration related charges in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Management’s Judgements and Estimates — Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Fair Value and Impairment Assessment of Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The application of the acquisition method involves the use of significant estimates because the identifiable net assets of the acquiree are recognized at their fair values for which observable market prices are typically not available. This is particularly relevant for intangible assets which require use of valuation techniques typically based on estimates of present value of future uncertain cash flows. The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the acquired intangible assets include discount rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of future cash flows (such as probabilities of technical and regulatory success, revenue growth rates, operating margins, and royalty rates).

5.6 Collaborations and Licenses

Collaborations

Genmab enters into collaborations with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to advance the development and commercialization of Genmab’s product candidates and to supplement its internal pipeline. Genmab seeks collaborations that will allow Genmab to retain significant future participation in product sales through either profit-sharing or royalties paid on net sales. Below is an overview of certain of Genmab’s collaborations that have had, or are expected in the near term to have, a significant impact on financial results.

J&J (Daratumumab/DARZALEX)

In 2012, Genmab entered into a global license, development and commercialization agreement with J&J for daratumumab (marketed for the treatment of certain multiple myeloma indications as DARZALEX for IV administration and as DARZALEX FASPRO in the U.S. and DARZALEX SC in Europe for SC administration). Under this agreement, J&J is fully responsible for developing and commercializing daratumumab, and all costs associated therewith. Genmab receives tiered royalty payments between 12% and 20% based on J&J’s annual net product sales with J&J reducing such royalty payments for Genmab’s share of J&J’s royalty payments made to Halozyme. In addition, the royalties payable by J&J are limited in time and subject to reduction on a country-by-country basis for customary reduction events, including for lack of Genmab patent coverage or upon patent expiration or invalidation in the relevant country and upon the first commercial sale of a biosimilar product in the relevant country (for as long as the biosimilar product remains for sale in that country). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, J&J’s obligation to pay royalties to us will expire on a country-by-country basis on the later of the date that is 13 years after the first commercial sale of daratumumab in such country or upon the expiration or invalidation of the last-to-expire relevant Genmab patent covering daratumumab in such country. The first U.S., European and Japanese sales of daratumumab occurred in 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. We have issued patents and pending patent applications covering daratumumab in numerous jurisdictions, including patents issued in the U.S., Europe and Japan. J&J owns a separate patent portfolio related to the subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab used in DARZALEX FASPRO/DARZALEX SC, but a binding arbitration determined that we are not entitled to royalties based on these separate patents. Our issued U.S., European and Japanese patents covering daratumumab, after giving effect to issued U.S., European and Japanese patent term extensions and supplementary protection certificates, expire in 2029, 2031 and begin to expire in 2030, respectively. Assuming constant underlying sales of DARZALEX, we expect that our royalties from sales of DARZALEX will begin to decline materially in 2029 following expiration of our U.S. patent rights on daratumumab. Genmab is also eligible to receive certain additional payments in connection with development, regulatory and sales milestones.

In September 2020, Genmab commenced arbitration against J&J with respect to two different provisions of our license agreement for daratumumab, both relating to royalties payable to Genmab on net sales of daratumumab (marketed as DARZALEX for IV administration and as DARZALEX FASPRO in the U.S. and as DARZALEX SC in Europe for SC administration). In April 2022, the arbitral tribunal issued an award in that arbitration denying both of Genmab’s claims. Genmab did not seek review of the award. On June 9, 2022, Genmab announced the commencement of a second arbitration under the daratumumab license agreement with Janssen with claims for milestone payments for daratumumab SC of USD 405 million and a separate 13-year royalty term for daratumumab SC on a country-by-country basis, from the date of the first commercial sale of daratumumab SC in each such country. This second arbitration followed from the award in the prior arbitration, where the tribunal ruled in favor of Janssen on the question as to whether Genmab is required to share in Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme for its technology used in the daratumumab SC product. The tribunal based its ruling on the finding that DARZALEX FASPRO constitutes a new licensed product under the license agreement. On April 21, 2023, the arbitral tribunal dismissed Genmab’s claims regarding the second arbitration, on the basis that these claims should have been brought in the first arbitration. One arbitrator dissented. Genmab filed a request for review of the award, which was denied on January 23, 2024. As a result, the dismissal of Genmab’s claims in the second arbitration is now final.

Novartis (Ofatumumab/Kesimpta)

Genmab and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) entered a co-development and collaboration agreement for ofatumumab in 2006.# Collaborations and Agreements

The full rights to ofatumumab were transferred from GSK to Novartis in 2015. Novartis is now fully responsible for the development and commercialization of ofatumumab in all potential indications, including autoimmune diseases. Genmab is entitled to a 10% royalty payment on net sales for non-cancer treatments. Genmab pays a royalty to Medarex based on Kesimpta net sales. Novartis’s obligation to pay royalties to Genmab under this agreement expire on a country-by-country basis only in the event Novartis is no longer selling such product in a given country. The royalties are on a country-by-country basis subject to reduction in case of significant competition by competing products (as defined in the agreement) or a joint committee determination that a license of intellectual property owned by a third-party is necessary for commercialization.

Roche (Teprotumumab/TEPEZZA)

In May 2001, Genmab entered a research collaboration with Roche to develop human antibodies to disease targets identified by Roche. In 2002, this alliance was expanded. Under the agreement, Genmab will receive milestones as well as royalty payments on successful products. Teprotumumab was initially developed in collaboration between Genmab and Roche, and later investigated under license from Roche by River Vision Development Corporation subsequently and Horizon Therapeutics for ophthalmic use. The product was approved under the brand name TEPEZZA in 2020 by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of TED and in 2024 by Japan’s MHLW for the treatment of active or high clinical activity score (CAS) TED. In October 2023, Amgen completed its acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics, including all rights to the development and commercialization of teprotumumab. Under the terms of Genmab’s agreement with Roche, Genmab receives a mid-single digit royalty on net sales of TEPEZZA, on a country-by-country basis, for 10 years following the first commercial sale in such country.

Pfizer (Tisotumab vedotin/Tivdak)

In September 2010, Genmab and Pfizer entered into an ADC collaboration, and a commercial license and collaboration agreement was executed in October 2011. In October 2020, Genmab and Pfizer entered into a Joint Commercialization Agreement where Genmab would co-promote tisotumab vedotin, marketed as Tivdak, in the U.S., and lead commercial operational activities and record sales in Japan, while Pfizer would lead operational commercial activities in the U.S., Europe and China with a 50:50 profit split in those markets. In all other markets, if any, Pfizer would be responsible for commercializing tisotumab vedotin and Genmab would receive royalties based on a percentage of aggregate net sales ranging from the mid-teens to the mid-twenties. Effective January 1, 2025, Genmab and Pfizer agreed to amend the License and Collaboration Agreement and the Joint Commercialization Agreement for Tivdak, assigning Genmab sole responsibility for the development and commercialization of Tivdak for second line plus recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer in Europe and all other regions globally, excluding the United States and the China region. With this amendment, Genmab will continue to co-promote Tivdak with Pfizer in the U.S. and will record sales for Europe, Japan and rest of world markets (excluding the United States and China regions), once commercialized, and will provide royalties to Pfizer on net sales in the low teens. Pfizer will continue to lead commercialization activities in China, when approved. The companies will continue the practice of joint decision-making on the worldwide development and commercialization strategy for tisotumab vedotin.

AbbVie (Epcoritamab/ EPKINLY/TEPKINLY)

On June 10, 2020, Genmab entered into a broad oncology collaboration agreement with AbbVie to jointly develop and commercialize products including epcoritamab, and subsequently into a discovery research collaboration for up to four future differentiated antibody therapeutics for cancer. The companies will share commercial responsibilities for epcoritamab in the U.S. and Japan, with AbbVie responsible for further global commercialization. Genmab is the principal for net sales in the U.S. and Japan and receives tiered royalties between 22% and 26% on remaining net sales outside of these territories, subject to certain royalty reductions. For any product candidates developed as a result of the companies’ discovery research collaboration, Genmab and AbbVie will share responsibilities for global development and commercialization in the U.S. and Japan. Genmab retains the right to co-commercialize these products, along with AbbVie, outside of the U.S. and Japan.

Under the terms of the agreement, Genmab received a USD 750 million (DKK 4,911 million) upfront payment in June 2020 and was initially entitled to receive an aggregate of up to USD 3.15 billion in additional development, regulatory and sales milestone payments for all programs. Included in these potential milestones were up to USD 1.15 billion in payments related to clinical development and commercial success across the three bispecific antibody programs originally included in the agreement. As a result of two programs being stopped, Genmab is instead contractually entitled to receive an aggregate of up to USD 2.55 billion in additional development, regulatory and sales milestone payments for all programs including an aggregate of up to USD 550 million in payments related to clinical development and commercial success for the one remaining bispecific antibody program, epcoritamab, included in the original agreement. In addition, and also included in these potential milestones, if all four next-generation antibody product candidates developed as a result of the discovery research collaboration are successful, Genmab is eligible to receive up to USD 2.0 billion in option exercise and success-based milestones.

In May 2023, epcoritamab received initial approval from the U.S. FDA and is marketed under the tradename EPKINLY. In September 2023, epcoritamab received initial approval from the EC and the Japan MHLW and is marketed under the tradenames TEPKINLY and EPKINLY, respectively. Genmab is entitled to tiered royalties between 22% and 26% on net sales for epcoritamab outside the U.S. and Japan. Except for these royalty-bearing sales, Genmab will share with AbbVie profits from the sale of licensed products on a 50:50 basis. Genmab and AbbVie split 50:50 the development costs related to epcoritamab, while Genmab will be responsible for 100% of the costs of the discovery research programs up to opt-in.

The total transaction price of USD 750 million (DKK 4,911 million) was allocated to the four performance obligations based on the best estimate of relative stand-alone selling prices.

Genmab 2024 Annual Report

Financial Statements

The allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations is summarized below:

  • Delivery of licenses for the three programs: USD 672 million (DKK 4,398 million)
  • Co-development activities for the product concepts: USD 78 million (DKK 513 million)

For the license grants, Genmab based the stand-alone selling price on a discounted cash flow approach and considered several factors including, but not limited to, discount rate, development timeline, regulatory risks, estimated market demand and future revenue potential. For co-development activities related to up to four product concepts, a cost-plus margin approach was utilized. The performance obligations related to the delivery of licenses were completed at a point in time (June 2020) and Genmab recognized USD 672 million (DKK 4,398 million) as license fee revenue in June 2020. After delivery of the licenses, Genmab shares further development and commercial costs equally with AbbVie. AbbVie is not assessed as a customer but as a collaboration partner, and as such this part of the collaboration is not in scope of IFRS 15. Refer to Note 3.7 for information pertaining to the remaining performance obligation related to co-development activities for the product concepts.

BioNTech

In May 2015, Genmab entered into an agreement with BioNTech to jointly research, develop and commercialize bispecific antibody products using Genmab’s DuoBody technology platform. Under the terms of the agreement, BioNTech will provide proprietary antibodies against key immunomodulatory targets, while Genmab provides proprietary antibodies and access to its DuoBody technology platform. Genmab paid an upfront fee of USD 10 million to BioNTech and an additional fee as certain BioNTech assets were selected for further development. If the companies jointly select any product candidates for clinical development, development costs and product ownership will be shared equally going forward. If one of the companies does not wish to move a product candidate forward, the other company is entitled to continue developing the product on predetermined licensing terms. The agreement also includes provisions which will allow the parties to opt out of joint development at key points.

During July 2022, Genmab and BioNTech expanded this collaboration to include the joint research, development and commercialization of monospecific antibody candidates using Genmab’s HexaBody technology platform. Genmab and BioNTech have three investigational medicines currently in clinical development: DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB (GEN1042/BNT312), HexaBody-OX40 (GEN1055/BNT315) and DuoBody-EpCAMx4-1BB (GEN1059/BNT314). In August 2024, BioNTech opted not to participate in the further development of the acasunlimab (GEN1046) program under the parties’ existing License and Collaboration Agreement for reasons related to BioNTech’s portfolio strategy.Genmab assumed sole responsibility for the continued development and potential commercialization of acasunlimab and the program will be subject to payment of certain milestones and a tiered single-digit royalty on net sales by Genmab to BioNTech.

J&J (DuoBody)

In July 2012, and as amended in December 2013, Genmab entered into a collaboration with J&J to create and develop bispecific antibodies using our DuoBody technology platform. As of December 31, 2024, three DuoBody-based products created under this collaboration were in active clinical development and had been approved by regulatory authorities: RYBREVANT, TECVAYLI and TALVEY. Under our agreement with J&J, Genmab is eligible to receive milestones and receives royalties between 8% and 10% on net sales of RYBREVANT, a mid-single digit royalty on net sales of TECVAYLI, and a mid-single digit royalty on net sales of TALVEY, all of which are subject to a reduction of such royalty payment in countries and territories where there are no relevant patents (as defined in the agreement), among other reductions. Pursuant to the terms of the DuoBody agreement, J&J’s obligation to pay these royalties will expire on a country- by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis on the later of the date that is 10 years after the first sale of each licensed product in such country or upon the expiration of the last-to- expire relevant patent (as defined in the agreement) covering the licensed product in such country. Genmab pays a royalty to Medarex based on RYBREVANT net sales.

5.7 Contingencies

Legal Contingency

In 2024, Chugai filed a lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court, Japan against AbbVie’s and Genmab’s subsidiaries in Japan asserting that their activities with EPKINLY (epcoritamab) in Japan infringe two Japanese patents held by Chugai, JP6278598 and JP6773929. Chugai is claiming damages and injunctive relief. Genmab and AbbVie believe that the two Japanese patents are invalid and not infringed and intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit, and thus no provision has been recognized related to this matter.

Financial Guarantees

As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Genmab has financial bank guarantees of DKK 16 million issued as security for lease obligations under certain lease agreements. The likelihood of a claim under the guarantees has been assessed to be remote due to Genmab’ strong financial position and history of fulfilling lease payments. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized related to this matter.

5.8 Subsequent Events

Management has determined it is appropriate to change the functional currency of the Genmab A/S legal entity from DKK to USD effective January 1, 2025. This determination was made based on the growing number and significance of the underlying USD transactions, triggered by the commercialization of EPKINLY. Effective for the first quarter of 2025, the consolidated financial statements will also be presented in USD, which will be both the functional and presentation currency of the parent company. No other events have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date that could signifi- cantly affect the financial statements as of December 31, 2024.

Notes to the Financial Statements of the Parent Company

1 Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the parent company have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the EU and further disclosure requirements for listed companies in Denmark. A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. Genmab A/S did not have to change its accounting policies as a result of the adoption of these standards.# Notes to the Financial Statements of the Parent Company

Refer to Note 1.2 in the consolidated financial statements for a description of new accounting policies and disclosures of the Group. Refer to Note 1.3 in the consolidated financial statements for a description of management’s judgements and estimates under IFRS. Refer to Note 1.4 in the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the immaterial reclassifications and revisions of the Group financial statements.

Supplementary Accounting Policies for the Parent Company

Investments in Subsidiaries

The cost method is used for measuring the investments in subsidiaries. Under the cost method, investments in subsidiaries are measured at historical cost. Equity interests in foreign currencies are translated to the reporting currency by use of historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of investment. Additions to the carrying value of investment in subsidiaries include capital contributions made by the parent and share-based payment trans- actions related to employees of the respective subsidiaries based on where the employee has rendered service. Distributions from the investment are recog- nized as income when declared, if any. If the distribution exceeds the current period income or if circumstances or changes in Genmab’s oper- ations indicate that the carrying amount of the subsidiary may not be recoverable, the carrying amount is tested for impairment. Where the recoverable amount of the investments is lower than cost, the investments are written down to this lower value.

Refer to Note 1.1 in the consolidated financial statements for a description of the accounting policies of the Group.

Parent Company intangible assets include IPR&D, a technology platform asset and licenses and rights primarily to gain access to targets and technologies identified by third parties as well as subsidiaries. Refer to Note 3.1 in the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding intangible assets of the Group. Refer to Note 17 in the parent financial statements for additional information regarding the intangible assets and goodwill acquired through the ProfoundBio acquisition.

The increase in the gross carrying value of intan- gible assets during 2024 was primarily due to the addition of approximately DKK 11,789 million of IPR&D and DKK 1,237 million of a technology platform asset from the ProfoundBio acquisition. The technology platform asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 15 years. These intellectual property rights were transferred from ProfoundBio US to Genmab A/S during the fourth quarter of 2024. Impairment expenses related to licenses and patents were DKK 243 million in 2024 and were not material in 2023. Impairment expenses were recorded in Research and development expenses in the Parent Company Income Statements. Amortization expense was DKK 36 million and DKK 61 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, which was recorded in Research and develop- ment expenses in the Income Statements of the Parent Company.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, ProfoundBio US (an indirect subsidiary of Genmab A/S) sold its intangible assets to Genmab A/S. Following this transaction, Genmab A/S ultimately received dividend income. The dividend income received of DKK 13.0 billion was recognized as Financial Income in the financial statements of the parent company. As a result of the above, due to the significant deterioration in the value of Genmab A/S’ indirect investment in ProfoundBio US, Genmab A/S ultimately recorded a DKK 10.4 billion loss on impairment of its investment in subsidiaries. The difference between the dividend income received by Genmab A/S in this transaction and the loss on impairment of investment in subsidiaries relates to goodwill retained at the subsidiary level. The DKK 10.4 billion impairment loss was recognized as Financial Expense in the financial statements of the parent company.

Refer to Note 5.5 in the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the acquisition of ProfoundBio and Note 17 in the parent company financial statements for additional information related to investment in subsidiaries.

15 Remuneration of the Board of Directors and Executive Management

Remuneration of the Board for the parent, excluding employee elected board members not directly employed by the parent, is the same as the Group. Remuneration of Executive Management not directly employed by the parent company is between 10% and 20% of their total compensation, as defined in their individual service agreement and as reported in Note 5.1 in the consolidated financial statements.

Refer to Note 5.1 in the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the remuneration of the Board of Directors and Executive Management.

18 Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

Genmab A/S has entered into a number of agreements related to research and development activities that contain various obligations. These contractual obligations amounted to approximately DKK 2,867 million as of December 31, 2024 (2023: approximately DKK 3,145 million).

Genmab A/S also has certain contingent commitments under our license and collaboration agreements that may become due in the future. As of December 31, 2024, these contingent commitments amounted to approximately DKK 12,304 million (USD 1,723 million) in potential future development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments to third parties under license and collaboration agreements for our preclinical and clinical stage development programs as compared to approximately DKK 9,991 million (USD 1,481 million) as of December 31, 2023. These milestone payments generally become due and payable only upon the achievement of certain development, clinical, regulatory or commercial milestones. The events triggering such payments or obligations have not yet occurred.

In addition to the above obligations, Genmab A/S enters into a variety of agreements and financial commitments in the normal course of business. The terms generally allow us the option to cancel, reschedule and adjust our requirements based on our business needs prior to the delivery of goods or performance of services. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement.

Financial Guarantees

As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Genmab A/S has financial bank guarantees of DKK 16 million issued as security for lease obligations under certain lease agreements. The likelihood of a claim under the guarantees has been assessed to be remote due to Genmab A/S’s strong financial position and history of fulfilling lease payments. Accordingly, no provision has been recognized related to this matter.

Report on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements

To the shareholders of Genmab A/S

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial state- ments of Genmab A/S for the financial year January 1, 2024–December 31, 2024, which comprise balance sheet, statements of cash flow, statement of changes in equity and notes, including material accounting policy information for the Group as well as the Parent, statement of comprehensive income of the Group and income statement of the Parent.

The consol- idated financial statements and the parent financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the EU and additional disclosure requirements for listed entities in Denmark.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial state- ments and the parent financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s and the Parent’s financial position at December 31, 2024, and of the results of its operations and cash flows for the financial year January 1, 2024–December 31, 2024 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the EU and additional disclosure requirements for listed entities in Denmark.

Our opinion is consistent with our Long Form Audit Report issued to the Audit & Finance Committee and the Board of Directors.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial state- ments” section of this auditor’s report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services as referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.

We were appointed auditors of Genmab A/S for the first time on March 13, 2024, for the financial year 2024.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements for the financial year January 1, 2024–December 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of Acquired IPR&D Assets in the ProfoundBio, Inc. Acquisition Refer to Notes 3.1 and 5.5 to the financial statements. The Company completed the acquisition of ProfoundBio, Inc. (“ProfoundBio”) for USD 1.72 billion (DKK 11.8 billion) on May 21, 2024. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination and, accordingly, has performed procedures to identify all assets and liabilities and allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Intangible assets acquired primarily included the in-process research and development intangible assets (“Acquired IPR&D assets”). The Company estimated the fair value of the Acquired IPR&D assets using an income approach. The fair value determination of the Acquired IPR&D assets required the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions related to the forecasted future cash flows, such as probabilities of technical and regulatory success, and the determination of the discount rates. We identified the valuation of Acquired IPR&D assets for the ProfoundBio acquisition as a key audit matter because of the high level of complexity and management judgement involved in determining the above outlined significant estimates and assumptions used by the Company to determine the fair value of these assets. This required a high degree of auditor judgement and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions. We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the Acquired IPR&D assets, including the Company’s controls over the significant estimates and assumptions related to the forecasted future cash flows, such as probabilities of technical and regulatory success, and the determination of the discount rates. We assessed the reasonableness of the Company’s probabilities of technical and regulatory success used in determination of the fair value of the Acquired IPR&D assets by comparing to internal and external market studies and certain peer companies/ products in the industry. We assessed the reasonableness of the Company’s forecasts of future cash flows used in determination of the fair value of the Acquired IPR&D assets by comparing the forecasts to historical results of operations, certain peer companies within comparable industries, and internal and external market studies. With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the discount rates by testing the source information and inputs underlying the determination of the discount rates, including in relation to publicly available information for comparable companies and testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
Revenue recognition of royalty revenue Refer to Note 2.1 to the financial statements. The Company recognized royalty revenue, where revenue is recognized based on net sales by collaboration partners. The Company uses net sales provided by its collaboration partners as an input to their calculation of the amount of royalty revenue to recognize in each period. The preliminary net sales data provided by the collaboration partner may change once final net sales data is available. We identified the revenue recognition of royalty contracts as a key audit matter because of the significant estimation uncertainty related to the net sales data provided by collaboration partners.

Statement on Management’s Review

Management is responsible for the Management Review. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements does not cover the Management Review, and we do not as part of the audit express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management Review is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management Review provides the information required by the Danish Financial Statements Act. This does not include the requirements in paragraph 99a related to the Sustainability Statement covered by the separate auditor’s limited assurance report hereon. Based on the work we have performed, in our view, the Management Review is in accordance with the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act except for the requirements in paragraph 99a related to the Sustainability Statement, see above. We did not identify any material misstatement of the Management Review.

Management’s responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent’s ability to continue as a going concern, for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and for using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements and these parent financial statements.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s and the Parent’s internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
  • Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the Parent’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, including the disclosures in the notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and, where applicable, safeguards put in place and measures taken to eliminate threats. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation

As part of our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements of Genmab A/S we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report for the financial year January 1, 2024–December 31, 2024, with the file name Genmab-2024-12-31-0-en.zip, is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation), which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements including notes. Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation.This responsibility includes:
* The preparing of the annual report in XHTML format;
* The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for financial information required to be tagged using judgement where necessary;
* Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the consolidated financial statements presented in human readable format; and
* For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an annual report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.

Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the require- ments set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include:

  • Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format;
  • Obtaining an understanding of the company’s iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the tagging process;
  • Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements including notes;
  • Evaluating the appropriateness of the company’s use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified;
  • Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy; and
  • Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited consolidated and parent financial statements.

In our opinion, the annual report of Genmab A/S for the financial year January 1, 2024– December 31, 2024, with the file name Genmab-2024-12-31-0-en.zip, is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

To the stakeholders of Genmab A/S

Limited assurance conclusion

We have conducted a limited assurance engage- ment on the Sustainability Statements of Genmab A/S (the “Group”) included in the Management’s Review (the “Sustainability Statements”), for the financial year January 1–December 31, 2024. Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Sustainability Statements is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act section 99a, including:

  • compliance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), including that the process carried out by the management to identify the information reported in the Sustainability Statements (the “Process”) is in accordance with the description set out in 1.4 Impact, risk, and opportunity management; and
  • compliance of the disclosures in subsection 2.4 EU Taxonomy within the environmental section of the Sustainability Statements with Article 8 of EU Regulation 2020/852 (the “Taxonomy Regulation”).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our limited assurance engage- ment in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised), Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information, and additional requirements applicable in Denmark. The procedures in a limited assurance engage- ment vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion. Our responsibilities under this standard are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the assurance engagement” section of our report.

Our independence and quality management

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these require- ments and the IESBA Code. Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, ISQM1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and appli- cable legal and regulatory requirements.

Other matter

The comparative information included in the Sustainability Statements of the Group was not subject to an assurance engagement. Our conclu- sion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Inherent limitations in preparing the Sustainability Statements

In reporting forward-looking information in accordance with ESRS, management is required to prepare the forward-looking information on the basis of disclosed assumptions about events that may occur in the future and possible future actions by the Group. Actual outcomes are likely to be different since anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected.

Management’s responsibilities for the Sustainability Statements

Management is responsible for designing and implementing a process to identify the informa- tion reported in the Sustainability Statements in accordance with the ESRS and for disclosing this Process in 1.4 Impact, risk, and opportunity management of the Sustainability Statements. This responsibility includes:

  • understanding the context in which the Group’s activities and business relationships take place and developing an understanding of its affected stakeholders;
  • the identification of the actual and potential impacts (both negative and positive) related to sustainability matters, as well as risks and opportunities that affect, or could reasonably be expected to affect, the Group’s financial position, financial performance, cash flows, access to finance or cost of capital over the short-, medium-, or long-term;
  • the assessment of the materiality of the identified impacts, risks and opportunities related to sustainability matters by selecting and applying appropriate thresholds; and
  • making assumptions that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Management is further responsible for the preparation of the Sustainability Statements, in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act section 99a, including:

  • compliance with the ESRS;
  • preparing the disclosures in subsection 2.4 EU Taxonomy within the environmental section of the Sustainability Statements, in compliance with Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation;
  • designing, implementing and maintaining such internal control that management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the Sustainability Statements that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
  • the selection and application of appropriate sustainability reporting methods and making assumptions and estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the assurance engagement

Our objectives are to plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the Sustainability Statements is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a limited assurance report that includes our conclu- sion. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence decisions of users taken on the basis of the Sustainability Statements as a whole.

As part of a limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised) we exercise professional judgement and maintain profes- sional scepticism throughout the engagement.

Our responsibilities in respect of the Process include:

  • Obtaining an understanding of the Process but not for the purpose of providing a conclusion on the effectiveness of the Process, including the outcome of the Process;
  • Considering whether the information identified addresses the applicable disclosure requirements of the ESRS, and
  • Designing and performing procedures to evaluate whether the Process is consistent with the Group’s description of its Process, as disclosed in 1.4 Impact, risk, and opportunity management.

Our other responsibilities in respect of the Sustainability Statements include:

  • Identifying disclosures where material misstatements are likely to arise, whether due to fraud or error; and
  • Designing and performing procedures responsive to disclosures in the Sustainability Statements where material misstatements are likely to arise.

The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Summary of the work performed

A limited assurance engagement involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about the Sustainability Statements.# Auditor's Report

The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on professional judgement, including the identification of disclosures where material misstatements are likely to arise, whether due to fraud or error, in the Sustainability Statements. In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the Process, we:

  • Obtained an understanding of the Process by performing inquiries to understand the sources of the information used by management; and reviewing the Group’s internal documentation of its Process; and
  • Evaluated whether the evidence obtained from our procedures about the Process implemented by the Group’s was consistent with the description of the Process set out in 1.4 Impact, risk, and opportunity management.

In conducting our limited assurance engagement, with respect to the Sustainability Statements, we:

  • Obtained an understanding of the Group’s reporting processes relevant to the preparation of its Sustainability Statements including the consolidation processes by obtaining an understanding of the Group’s control environment, processes and information systems relevant to the preparation of the Sustainability Statements but not evaluating the design of particular control activities, obtaining evidence about their implementation or testing their operating effectiveness;
  • Evaluated whether material information identified by the Process is included in the Sustainability Statements;
  • Evaluated whether the structure and the presentation of the Sustainability Statements are in accordance with the ESRS;
  • Performed inquiries of relevant personnel and analytical procedures on selected information in the Sustainability Statements;
  • Performed substantive assurance procedures on selected information in the Sustainability Statements;
  • Evaluated methods, assumptions and data for developing material estimates and forward- looking information and how these methods were applied;
  • Obtained an understanding of the process to identify taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned economic activities and the corresponding disclosures in the Sustainability Statements.

# Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations

Revenue

Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of [products/services - specify if possible from context]. We have experienced [growth/decline - specify if possible from context] in revenue over the past [period - specify if possible from context] due to [factors - specify if possible from context].

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes [components - specify if possible from context], such as raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. We have focused on [strategies - specify if possible from context] to manage our cost of goods sold.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses.

  • Research and Development (R&D): We invest significantly in R&D to [objectives - specify if possible from context]. This includes [examples - specify if possible from context].
  • Sales and Marketing: Our sales and marketing expenses are related to [activities - specify if possible from context], such as advertising, promotions, and sales force compensation.
  • General and Administrative (G&A): G&A expenses include [items - specify if possible from context], such as executive salaries, legal fees, and accounting costs.

Other Income/(Expense)

Other income/(expense) includes [items - specify if possible from context], such as interest income, interest expense, and foreign currency gains/(losses).

Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of [amount - specify if possible from context]. Our primary sources of liquidity have been [sources - specify if possible from context], and our primary uses of cash have been [uses - specify if possible from context].

We believe that our existing cash on hand, together with our ability to generate cash flow from operations and [other sources - specify if possible from context], will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other commitments for the foreseeable future.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations as of December 31, 2023:

Contractual Obligation Payments Due by Period
Total

[Additional details about each category of obligation would follow here if present in the original text.]

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that we believe have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We believe that the following accounting policies are critical to the preparation of our financial statements:

  • [Policy 1 - e.g., Revenue Recognition]: [Description of policy and any related estimates.]
  • [Policy 2 - e.g., Allowance for Doubtful Accounts]: [Description of policy and any related estimates.]
  • [Policy 3 - e.g., Valuation of Inventories]: [Description of policy and any related estimates.]

We review and update these estimates and assumptions based on our ongoing review of financial operations and other developments.
