Genmab Announces Financial Results for the First Half of 2018

August 8, 2018; Copenhagen, Denmark;
Interim Report for the First Half of 2018

Highlights

  • USD 943 million in net sales of DARZALEX® (daratumumab), resulting in royalty income of DKK 695 million
  • U.S. FDA approved DARZALEX (daratumumab) in combination with bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone (VMP) for frontline multiple myeloma
  • Phase III study of Arzerra® (ofatumumab) plus bendamustine in indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (iNHL) did not meet primary endpoint
  • Phase Ib/II study (CALLISTO/LUC2001) of daratumumab in combination with atezolizumab in non-small cell lung cancer stopped following data monitoring committee review

"We reached a number of key milestones with our clinical development programs during the second quarter including: treating the first patients in the Phase II study of tisotumab vedotin in cervical cancer and in the Phase I/II study of HexaBody®-DR5/DR5 in solid tumors, and advancing the Phase I/II study of HuMax®-AXL-ADC in solid tumors into the expansion phase of the trial. In addition, while we did have disappointing results with daratumumab in lung cancer, this product continues to rapidly progress in the multiple myeloma space, where DARZALEX received another label expansion in the U.S., making it the first antibody ever approved for treatment of frontline multiple myeloma," said Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Genmab.

Financial Performance First Half of 2018

  • Revenue was DKK 1,191 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 1,024 million in the first half of 2017. The increase of DKK 167 million, or 16%, was mainly driven by the payment from Novartis of USD 50 million and higher DARZALEX royalties, partly offset by a decrease in DARZALEX milestones.
  • Operating expenses were DKK 732 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 442 million in the first half of 2017. The increase of DKK 290 million, or 66%, was driven by the advancement of tisotumab vedotin, additional investments in our product pipeline, and the increase in employees to support expansion of our product pipeline.
  • Operating income was DKK 459 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 582 million in the first half of 2017. The decrease of DKK 123 million, or 21%, was driven by increased operating expenses, which was partly offset by higher revenue.

Subsequent Events

  • July: The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) issued a positive opinion recommending broadening the existing marketing authorization for DARZALEX in the European Union. The recommendation is for the use of DARZALEX in combination with bortezomib, melphalan and prednisone (VMP) for the treatment of adult patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT).
  • July: Genmab entered into a research collaboration and exclusive license agreement with Immatics Biotechnologies GmbH (Immatics) to discover and develop next-generation bispecific immunotherapies to target multiple cancer indications. Genmab received an exclusive license to three proprietary targets from Immatics, with an option to license up to two additional targets at predetermined economics. The companies will conduct joint research, funded by Genmab, on multiple antibody and/or T-cell receptor-based bispecific therapeutic product concepts. Genmab may elect to progress any resulting product candidates, and will be responsible for development, manufacturing and worldwide commercialization. For any products that are commercialized by Genmab, Immatics will have an option to limited co-promotion efforts in selected countries in the EU. Under the terms of the agreement, Genmab will pay Immatics an upfront fee of USD 54

Interim Report First Half 2018

OUTLOOK

MDKK 2018 Guidance
Revenue 2,700 – 3,100
Operating expenses (1,400) – (1,600)
Operating income 1,300 – 1,500

Genmab is maintaining its 2018 financial guidance published on February 21, 2018.

We expect our 2018 revenue to be in the range of DKK 2,700 – 3,100 million. Our projected revenue for 2018 consists primarily of DARZALEX royalties of approximately DKK 1,750 million that are based on an estimated USD 2.0 – 2.3 billion of DARZALEX net sales in 2018. We project DARZALEX milestones of approximately DKK 550 million in 2018, consisting primarily of a commercial net sales-based milestone. In addition, the 2018 guidance includes the upfront payment from Novartis of approximately DKK 300 million related to the transition of Arzerra from commercial availability to compassionate use programs in non-US markets. The remainder of the revenue consists of cost reimbursement income, Arzerra royalties, and DuoBody® milestones.

We anticipate that our 2018 operating expenses will be in the range of DKK 1,400 – 1,600 million. The increase compared to 2017 is driven by the advancement of tisotumab vedotin, HuMax-AXL-ADC, HexaBody-DR5/DR5, DuoBody-CD3xCD20, and an increase in employees to support the expansion of our product pipeline.

We expect the operating income for 2018 to be approximately DKK 1,300 – 1,500 million.

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 our collaboration agreements; the timing and variation of development activities (including activities carried out by our collaboration partners) and related income and costs; DARZALEX and Arzerra sales and corresponding royalties to Genmab; and currency exchange rates (the 2018 guidance assumes a USD/DKK exchange rate of 6.0). The financial guidance assumes that no significant agreements are entered into during 2018 that could materially affect the results.

Arzerra (ofatumumab) – Our First Marketed Product

  • Human CD20 monoclonal antibody in development to treat autoimmune disease
  • Arzerra approved in certain territories for certain chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) indications
  • Two Phase III studies with low dose subcutaneous ofatumumab in relapsing multiple sclerosis ongoing
  • Collaboration with Novartis
  • Net sales of Arzerra by Novartis were USD 11 million in the first half of 2018

In the U.S., Arzerra solution for infusion is approved for use in combination with chlorambucil for the treatment of previously untreated patients with CLL for whom fludarabine-based therapy is considered inappropriate, for use in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) for the treatment of patients with relapsed CLL, and for extended treatment of patients who are in complete or partial response after at least two lines of therapy for recurrent or progressive CLL. In the EU, Arzerra is approved for use in combination with chlorambucil or bendamustine for the treatment of adult patients with CLL who have not received prior therapy and who are not eligible for fludarabine-based therapy and in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide for adult patients with relapsed CLL. In the U.S. and EU member countries, Arzerra is also indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of patients with CLL who are refractory after prior treatment with fludarabine and alemtuzumab. On January 22, 2018, it was announced that Novartis intends to transition Arzerra from commercial availability to limited availability via compassionate use programs in non-U.S. markets.

A subcutaneous formulation of ofatumumab is being investigated in two Phase III clinical studies in relapsing multiple sclerosis. Novartis expects to complete the studies during 2019 and then will evaluate the potential for a regulatory filing soon thereafter, based on study completion and positive results.

The overall safety profile of Arzerra in CLL is based on exposure in clinical trials and the post-marketing setting. The most common side effects for Arzerra include adverse events associated with infusion reactions, cytopenias, and infections (lower respiratory tract infection, including pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection, sepsis, including neutropenic sepsis and septic shock, herpes viral infection, urinary tract infection).

Please consult the full US Prescribing information, including Boxed Warning, and the full European Summary of Product Characteristics for all the labeled safety information for Arzerra.

Second Quarter Update

  • May: Topline results from the Phase III study of ofatumumab plus bendamustine showed that the study did not meet the primary endpoint of improved progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (iNHL) who were unresponsive to rituximab or a rituximab-containing regimen, compared to those given bendamustine alone. The safety profile observed in this study was consistent with that observed in other trials of ofatumumab and no new safety signals were observed.
  • May: Patient recruitment was completed in the Phase III studies of subcutaneous ofatumumab in relapsing MS.

First Quarter Update

  • January: Announced Novartis' intent to transition the commercial availability of Arzerra to limited availability via compassionate use programs or alternative solutions for patients continuing to benefit from Arzerra in non-U.S. markets, but will continue to market for CLL in the U.S. Novartis will work with key stakeholders, including regulatory authorities to establish compassionate use programs or alternative solutions so that patients benefitting from Arzerra can remain on

treatment. Genmab received USD 50 million from Novartis as payment for lost potential milestones and royalties. Planning to transition the commercial availability of Arzerra to limited availability via compassionate use programs for the treatment of CLL in non-U.S. markets is underway and Novartis' goal is to start implementation in early 2019, as soon as carefully structured plans are agreed upon with key stakeholders, including regulatory authorities in countries involved.

Interim Report First Half 2018

SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

As a biotech company, Genmab faces a number of risks and uncertainties. These are common for the industry and relate to operations, research and development, commercial and financial activities. For further information about risks and uncertainties which the Genmab group faces, refer to the 2017 annual report. At the date of this interim report, there have been no significant changes to Genmab's overall risk profile since the publication of the 2017 annual report.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The interim report is prepared on a consolidated basis for the Genmab group. The financial statements are published in Danish Kroner (DKK).

Revenue

Genmab's revenue was DKK 1,191 million for the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 1,024 million for the first half of 2017. The increase of DKK 167 million, or 16%, was driven by the upfront payment from Novartis of USD 50 million and increased DARZALEX royalties, partly offset by a decrease in DARZALEX milestones.

MDKK H1 2018 H1 2017*
Royalties 709 479
Milestone payments 40 489
License fees 336 47
Reimbursement income 106 9
Total revenue 1,191 1,024
  • As disclosed in note 1 of the financial statements, prior period amounts have not been adjusted under the modified retrospective method to adopt IFRS 15 after January 1, 2018.

Royalties

Royalty income amounted to DKK 709 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 479 million in the first half of 2017. The increase of DKK 230 million, or 48%, was driven by higher DARZALEX royalties, which were partly offset by lower Arzerra royalties.

Net sales of DARZALEX by Janssen were USD 943 million in the first half of 2018 compared to USD 554 million in the first half of 2017. The increase of USD 389 million, or 70%, was driven by the continued strong uptake following the regulatory approvals in the U.S. and EU. Royalty income on net sales of DARZALEX was DKK 695 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 454 million in the first half of 2017, an increase of DKK 241 million. The increase in royalties of 53% is lower than the increase in the underlying sales due to currency fluctuations between the USD and DKK.

Novartis' net sales of Arzerra were USD 11 million in the first half of 2018 compared to USD 18 million in the first half of 2017, a decrease of USD 7 million, or 39%. Royalty income on net sales of Arzerra was DKK 14 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 25 million in the first half of 2017, a decrease of DKK 11 million, or 44%.

Milestone Payments

Milestone income was DKK 40 million in the first half of 2018 which was driven by the Janssen and Novo Nordisk DuoBody collaborations. In the first half of 2017 milestone income was DKK 489 million. The decrease of DKK 449 million, or 92%, was mainly driven by milestones related to the first commercial sales of DARZALEX in the second and third indications under the expanded label granted by the European Commission in April 2017 and the filing and first commercial sale of DARZALEX in the fourth indication in the US in June 2017. Milestone income 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.

Genmab

Interim Report First Half 2018

Licenses Fees

License fee income was DKK 336 million during the first half of 2018 which was driven by the USD 50 million upfront payment from Novartis with the amendment of the Arzerra/ofatumumab license and collaboration agreement, payment from Janssen for an additional DuoBody target pair under the license agreement and the payment from Novo Nordisk for extending exclusivity of the commercial license for a DuoBody target pair under the agreement. In the first half of 2017, license fee income was DKK 47 million and related to the amortization of upfront payments received under our license and collaboration agreements on a straight line basis over the planned development periods. As disclosed in note 1 of the financial statements, prior period amounts have not been adjusted under the modified retrospective method to adopt IFRS 15 after January 1, 2018.

Reimbursement Income

Reimbursement income amounted to DKK 106 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 9 million in the first half of 2017. The increase of DKK 97 million was driven by our collaboration agreements with Seattle Genetics and BioNTech.

Refer to note 1 for further details on the impact of adoption of IFRS 15 and note 2 in this interim report for further details about revenue.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs amounted to DKK 632 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 372 million in the first half of 2017. The increase of DKK 260 million, or 70%, was driven by the advancement of tisotumab vedotin, additional investment in our product pipeline, and the increase in research and development employees.

Research and development costs accounted for 86% of the total operating expenses in the first half of 2018 compared to 84% in the first half of 2017.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses were DKK 100 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 70 million in the first half of 2017. The increase of DKK 30 million, or 43%, was driven by an increase in administrative employees due to the expansion of our product pipeline.

General and administrative expenses accounted for 14% of the total operating expenses in the first half of 2018 compared to 16% in the first half of 2017.

Operating Result

Operating income was DKK 459 million in the first half of 2018 compared to DKK 582 million in the first half of 2017. The decrease of DKK 123 million, or 21%, was driven by increased operating expenses, which was partly offset by higher revenue.

As of June 30, 2018, the total number of employees was 309 compared to 234 employees as of June 30, 2017. The increase in employees was driven by the expansion of our pipeline.

Workforce June 30, 2018 June 30, 2017
Research and development employees 263 199
Administrative employees 46 35
Total employees 309 234

Net Financial Items

The net financial items for the first half of 2018 were net income of DKK 132 million compared to a net loss of DKK 171 million in the first half of 2017. The main driver for the variance between the two periods is foreign exchange movements, which positively impacted our USD denominated portfolio and cash

holdings. The USD strengthened against the DKK during the first half of 2018, resulting in realized and unrealized exchange rate gains. Refer to note 4 in this interim report for further details about the net financial items.

Corporate Tax

The corporate tax expense for the first half of 2018 was DKK 132 million compared to DKK 88 million for the first half of 2017. The estimated annual effective corporate tax rate in the first half of 2018 was 22% compared to 21% in the first half of 2017. There has been no reversal of the valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the first half of 2018 or the first half of 2017.

Net Result

Net result for the first half of 2018 was a net income of DKK 459 million compared to a net income of DKK 323 million in the first half of 2017. The increase was driven by the items described above.

Cash Position

Cash Position (MDKK) June 30, 2018 December 31, 2017
Marketable securities 4,984 4,075
Cash and cash equivalents 1,087 1,348
Cash position 6,071 5,423

As of June 30, 2018, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities (cash position) amounted to DKK 6,071 million. This represents a net increase of DKK 648 million from the beginning of 2018, which was mainly driven by our operating income of DKK 459 million, positive working capital adjustments of DKK 54 million primarily related to milestones achieved in 2017 which were received in 2018, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of DKK 61 million, which were partly offset by the purchase of treasury shares for DKK 146 million.

There were no short term marketable securities included in cash and cash equivalents at the end of June 2018. Cash and cash equivalents included short term marketable securities of DKK 54 million at the end of June 2017. In accordance with our accounting policy, securities purchased with a maturity of less than three months at the date of acquisition are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Refer to note 3 in this interim report for further details about our marketable securities.

Cash Flow

Cash Flow (MDKK) H1 2018 H1 2017
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities 599 1,296
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities (787) (720)
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities (86) 194

Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily related to our operating result, working capital fluctuations, and adjustments related to non-cash expenses, all of which may be highly variable period to period. In the first half of 2018, the primary driver of lower cash provided by operating activities was higher positive working capital adjustments in 2017 related to milestones achieved in the fourth quarter of 2016 that were received in 2017.

The change in cash used in investing activities primarily reflects differences between the proceeds received from sale and maturity of our investments and amounts invested. Purchases of marketable securities exceeded sales and maturities in both the first half of 2018 and 2017, which has resulted in significant growth in the marketable securities portion of the cash position.

Interim Report First Half 2018

Net cash used in financing activities for the first half of 2018 is related to the purchase of treasury shares of DKK 146 million partly offset by the proceeds from the exercise of warrants of DKK 61 million. Net cash provided by financing activities for the first half of 2017 is related to proceeds from the exercise of warrants of DKK 194 million.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2018, total assets were DKK 7,200 million compared to DKK 6,603 million as of December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, assets are mainly comprised of a cash position of DKK 6,071 million and receivables of DKK 552 million. The receivables consist primarily of royalties from our license and collaboration agreements and non-interest bearing receivables, which are due less than one year from the balance sheet date.

Shareholders' equity as of June 30, 2018 was DKK 6,861 million compared to DKK 6,272 million at the end of December 2017. The increase was driven by our net income and the impact of the adoption of IFRS 15, which were partly offset by the purchase of treasury shares. As of June 30, 2018, Genmab's equity ratio was 95%, which remained unchanged compared to December 31, 2017.

Legal Matter – MorphoSys Patent Infringement Complaint

In April 2016, MorphoSys filed a complaint at the U.S. District Court of Delaware against Genmab and Janssen Biotech, Inc., for patent infringement under U.S. patent no. 8,263,746 based on activities relating to the manufacture, use and sale of DARZALEX in the U.S. In February 2017, MorphoSys was allowed to amend its complaint to include a second U.S. patent, U.S. patent no. 9,200,061, into the case. In October 2017, the U.S. District Court of Delaware allowed MorphoSys to amend its complaint to include a third U.S. patent, U.S. patent no. 9,758,590, which is related to the '746 and '061 patents. The parties agreed to include this third patent for case efficiency, and it is not expected to change the merits of the case. The trial date has been rescheduled to February 2019 from the original trial date of August 2018. Jury trial has been requested by MorphoSys. Genmab and Janssen disagree with the allegations made by MorphoSys in its complaint for patent infringement and vigorously contest those allegations.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Accounting Policies

The interim report is prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 34 (IAS 34), "Interim Financial Reporting" and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies. The interim report has not been reviewed or audited by Genmab's external auditors.

The interim report has been prepared using the same accounting policies as outlined in section 1 – Basis of Presentation in the financial statements in the 2017 annual report, except for the adoption of new accounting standards detailed below.

Management Judgments and Estimates under IFRS

In preparing interim reports, certain provisions under IFRS require management to make judgments (various accounting estimates and assumptions) which may significantly impact the group's financial statements. The most significant judgments include, among other things, revenue recognition, share-based compensation, deferred tax assets, and recognition of internally generated intangible assets. For additional descriptions of significant judgments and estimates, refer to note 1.3 in the 2017 annual report, except for revenue recognition, which is described below.

Fair Value Measurement

For financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, IFRS 13 for financial instruments requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy for:

  • 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).

Receivables – derivatives - - - 12

Marketable Securities

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

Derivative Financial Instruments

The fair value is determined using valuation techniques that utilize market based data such as currency rates, yield curves and implied volatility (Level 2). As of June 30, 2018, there were no derivatives outstanding.

New Accounting Standards - Recently Adopted

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this method, the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard was recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. IFRS 15 applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of other standards, such as leases, insurance, and financial instruments.

Under IFRS 15, Genmab recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity 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. We only apply the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of IFRS 15, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and identify, as a performance obligation, and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Evaluating the criteria for revenue recognition under license and collaboration agreements requires management's judgement to assess and determine the following:

  • The nature of performance obligations and whether they are distinct or should be combined with other performance obligations to determine whether the performance obligations are satisfied over time or at a point in time.
  • An assessment of whether the achievement of milestone payments is highly probable
  • The stand-alone selling price of each performance obligation identified in the contract using key assumptions which may include forecasted revenues, development timelines, reimbursement rates for personnel costs, discount rates and probabilities of technical and regulatory success.

In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 15, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements was as follows:

The impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 on the consolidated financial statements is detailed in the tables above and is due to changes in the accounting policy for revenue recognition compared to prior accounting standards, which is described below:

  • Changes in revenue recognition for licenses of functional intellectual property resulted in a timing difference of revenue recognition between prior accounting standards and IFRS 15. For certain of our agreements, the value associated with the licenses and certain other deliverables had been assessed as one unit of accounting and recognized over a period of time pursuant to revenue recognition guidance in effect at the time of such agreements. Under IFRS 15, the licenses of functional intellectual property were determined to be distinct from other deliverables and the customers obtained the right to use the functional intellectual property on the effective

date of the agreements when control transferred. This timing difference of revenue recognition resulted in the full deferred revenue balance of DKK 151 million as of December 31, 2017 being reclassified to accumulated deficit in the first quarter of 2018.

IFRS 15 may have an impact on the timing of recognition of milestone payments. Under prior accounting standards, we recognized such payments as revenue in the period that the payment-triggering event occurred or was achieved. IFRS 15 requires Genmab to recognize such payments as revenue before the payment-triggering event is completely achieved, subject to management's assessment of whether it is highly probable that the triggering event will be achieved and that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.

IFRS 15 will not have an impact on revenue recognition for sales-based royalties and commercial sales-based milestone payments and they will continue to be recognized in the period to which the sales relate based on estimates provided by collaboration partners.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

Effective January 1, 2018 we adopted IFRS 9 which replaces the provisions of IAS 39 that relate to the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, hedge accounting, and impairment of financial assets. The adoption of IFRS 9 resulted in changes in accounting policies (included below) but did not result in material adjustments to amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 9, comparative figures have not been restated.

On January 1, 2018 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 when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist of investments in securities with a maturity greater than three months 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. Under IFRS 9, there are three measurement categories into which the group classifies its debt instruments:

  • 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 gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

Interim Report First Half 2018

  • Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognized in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
  • 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 profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

Genmab's portfolio is managed and evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with its 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 fair value through profit and loss. This classification is consistent with the prior year's classification.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The one foreign currency forward in place as of December 31, 2017 qualified as a cash flow hedge under IFRS 9. The group's risk management strategies and hedge documentation are aligned with the requirements of IFRS 9 and this relationship is therefore treated as a continuing hedge.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. Genmab designates certain derivatives as either:

  • Fair value hedge (hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilities or a firm commitment); or
  • Cash flow hedge (hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction).

At the inception of a transaction, Genmab documents the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. Genmab also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

Movements on the hedging reserve in other comprehensive income are shown as part of the statement of shareholders' equity. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion and changes in time value of the derivative instrument is recognized immediately in the income statement within financial income or expenses.

Genmab

Interim Report First Half 2018

When forward contracts are used to hedge forecast transactions, Genmab generally designates the full change in fair value of the forward contract (including forward points) as the hedging instrument. In such cases, the gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in fair value of the entire forward contract are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk.

Receivables

Receivables are designated as loans and receivables and are initially measured at fair value or transaction price and subsequently measured in the balance sheet at amortized cost, which generally corresponds to nominal value less expected credit loss provision.

Genmab applied the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which 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. The provision for expected credit losses was not significant given that there have been no credit losses over the last three years and the high quality nature (top tier life science companies) of Genmab's customers.

Note 2 – Revenue

Genmab enters into license and collaboration agreements which are within the scope of IFRS 15, under which it licenses certain rights to its product candidates to third parties and also may participate in the development of the product candidates. The terms of these arrangements typically include payment to Genmab of one or more of the following: non-refundable, upfront license fees; exclusive designation fees; annual license maintenance fees; additional target fees; development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments; payments for research and development services; and royalties on net sales of licensed products. Each of these payments results in revenue from contracts with customers.

In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements, Genmab performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) Genmab satisfies each performance obligation.

License Fees 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 judgment 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.

Milestone Payments

At the inception of each arrangement that includes milestone payments, Genmab evaluates whether the achievement of milestones are 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 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.

Reimbursement Income for R&D Services: License and collaboration agreements include the reimbursement or cost sharing for research and development services and payment for 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 R&D services is recognized over time rather than a point in time.

Royalties: License and collaboration agreements include sales-based royalties, including commercial milestone payments based on the level of sales, and the license has been deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate. As a result, Genmab recognizes revenue when the related sales occur.

The table below disaggregates our revenue by type of payment and collaboration partner under our agreements which provides additional information regarding how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows might be affected by economic factors.

In accordance with the group's risk management guidelines, Genmab's marketable securities are administrated by two external investment managers who solely invest in securities from investment grade issuers. Genmab invests its cash in deposits with major financial institutions, Danish mortgage bonds and notes issued by Danish, European, and American governments.

As of June 30, 2018, 88% of our marketable securities had a triple A-rating, compared to 91% as of December 31, 2017.

The total fair value adjustment for the first half of 2018 was a gain of DKK 170 million, which was driven primarily by foreign exchange adjustments of DKK 174 million due to the strengthening of the USD against the DKK which positively impacted our USD denominated portfolio. The total fair value adjustment for the first half of 2017 was a loss of DKK 108 million, which was driven primarily by foreign exchange adjustments of DKK 108 million due to the weakening of the USD against the DKK which negatively impacted our USD denominated portfolio.

Restricted Stock Unit Program

Genmab A/S established a Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) program as an incentive for all the Genmab group's employees, members of the Executive Management, and members of the Board of Directors.

Under the terms of the RSU program, RSUs are subject to a cliff vesting period and become fully vested on the first banking day of the month following a period of three years from the date of grant. Within 30 days of the vesting date, the holder of an RSU receives one share in Genmab A/S for each RSU.

Genmab A/S intends to purchase its own shares in order to cover its obligations in relation to the RSU program. Authorization to purchase Genmab A/S' own shares up to a nominal value of DKK 500,000 (500,000 shares) was given at the Annual General Meeting in March 2016. As of June 30, 2018, DKK 275,000 (275,000 shares) remain available for purchase under this authorization.

During the first half of 2018, Genmab acquired 125,000 of its own shares, approximately $0.2\%$ of share capital, to cover its obligations under the RSU program. The total amount paid to acquire the shares, including directly attributable costs, was DKK 146 million and has been recognized as a deduction to shareholders' equity. These shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented within accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2018. There were no acquisitions of treasury shares in the first half of 2017.

Warrant Program

Genmab A/S established warrant programs as an incentive for all the Genmab group's employees, and members of the Executive Management.

Warrants Granted from August 2004 until April 2012

Under the August 2004 warrant program, warrants vest annually over a four year period on the anniversary of the grant date. Warrants granted under the August 2004 warrant program will lapse on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. As a general rule, the warrant holder may only exercise 25% of the warrants granted per full year of employment or affiliation with Genmab after the grant date. However, the warrant holder will be entitled to retain rights to exercise all warrants on a regular schedule in instances where the employment relationship is terminated by Genmab without cause.

Warrants Granted from April 2012 until March 2017

In April 2012, a new warrant program was adopted by the Board of Directors. Whereas warrants granted under the August 2004 warrant program will lapse on the tenth anniversary of the grant date, warrants granted under the April 2012 warrant program will lapse at the seventh anniversary of the grant date. All other terms in the warrant programs are identical.

Warrants Granted from March 2017

In March 2017, a new warrant program was adopted by the Board of Directors. Whereas warrants granted under the April 2012 warrant program vested annually over a four year period, warrants granted under the new March 2017 warrant program are subject to a cliff vesting period and become fully vested three years from the date of grant. All other terms in the warrant programs are identical.
