Key performance elements for FY 2025

(Growth numbers at constant exchange rates)

*   Total Revenue up 8% to $58,739m, driven by Oncology, CVRM, R&I and Rare Disease

*   Growth in Total Revenue across all major geographic regions

*   Core Operating profit increased 9%

Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca, said:

"In 2025 we saw strong commercial performance across our therapy areas and excellent pipeline delivery. We announced the results of 16 positive Phase 3 studies during the year and now have 16 blockbuster medicines.

The momentum across our company is continuing in 2026 and we are looking forward to the results of more than 20 Phase 3 trial readouts this year. We have more than 100 Phase 3 studies ongoing, including a substantial and growing number of trials of our transformative technologies which have the potential to revolutionise outcomes for patients and drive our growth well beyond 2030.

Lastly, ordinary shares in our company began trading on the NYSE on the 2nd February, resulting in a harmonised listing structure across exchanges in London, New York and Stockholm, enabling more shareholders to participate in our company's exciting future." 

 

Guidance

AstraZeneca issues Total Revenue and Core EPS guidance4 for FY 2026 at CER, based on the average foreign exchange rates through 2025.

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

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

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

If foreign exchange rates for February 2026 to December 2026 were to remain at the average rates seen in January 2026, it is anticipated that Total Revenue in FY 2026 would benefit from a low single-digit percentage positive impact compared to the performance at CER, and Core EPS growth would be broadly similar to the growth at CER.

Corporate and business development

Jacobio Pharma

In December 2025, Jacobio Pharma announced that it has entered an agreement with AstraZeneca for its proprietary Pan-KRAS inhibitor JAB-23E73.

AstraZeneca will receive exclusive development and commercialisation rights outside of China, while AstraZeneca and Jacobio Pharma will jointly develop and commercialise JAB-23E73 in China.

Under the terms of the agreement, Jacobio will receive an upfront payment of $100m, and is eligible for additional development and commercial milestone payments of up to $1.9bn, as well as tiered royalties on net sales achieved outside of China. AstraZeneca will be responsible for all clinical development, regulatory submissions, and commercialisation activities for JAB-23E73 outside of China.

Modella AI

In Q4 2025, Modella AI was acquired by AstraZeneca. The acquisition will embed Modella AI's multi-modal foundation models and AI agents into AstraZeneca's oncology R&D environment.

BMS

In Q4 2025, AstraZeneca paid Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMS) $170m, expensed in Cost of sales, in exchange for the reduction to zero of all royalties payable on Saphnelo sales ex-US. Royalties on US sales will remain payable at a mid-teens percentage.

Compugen

In Q4 2025, AstraZeneca paid Compugen Ltd. (Compugen) $65m, expensed in Cost of sales, and agreed a potential additional $25m upon the next milestone payment on BLA acceptance, for a portion of Compugen's existing royalty interest in rilvegostomig. AstraZeneca will pay tiered royalties of up to mid-single digits on future sales.

AbelZeta

In January 2026, AbelZeta Pharma, Inc. (AbelZeta) announced that AstraZeneca has agreed to acquire AbelZeta's 50% share of the China development and commercialisation rights to C-CAR031, an autologous, Glypican 3 (GPC3)-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T-Cell therapy.

Following completion of this agreement, AstraZeneca will have the sole right to develop, manufacture and commercialise C-CAR031 globally. AbelZeta will be entitled to receive up to $630m from AstraZeneca including an upfront payment, and development, regulatory and sales milestone payments for the GPC3 program in China.

China investment plans

In January 2026, AstraZeneca announced plans to invest $15bn in China through 2030 to expand medicines manufacturing and R&D. These investments build on AstraZeneca's substantial footprint in China, including global strategic R&D centres in Beijing and Shanghai.

Listing harmonisation

On 2 February 2026, AstraZeneca began trading its ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), enabling more US investors to participate in the Company's strong growth. Trading in AstraZeneca ordinary shares is now aligned across the NYSE, the London Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm under a harmonised listing structure.

The prior listing of American Depositary Shares on Nasdaq in the US ceased on 30 January 2026.

CSPC

In January 2026, AstraZeneca announced a new strategic collaboration agreement with CSPC Pharmaceuticals. AstraZeneca will receive exclusive global rights outside of China to CSPC's once-monthly injectable weight management portfolio, including SYH2082, a long-acting GLP-1R/GIPR agonist progressing into Phase I, and three preclinical programmes. CSPC will receive an upfront payment of $1.2bn and is eligible to receive development and regulatory milestones of up to $3.5bn across all programmes. CSPC will also be eligible for further commercialisation and sales milestones plus tiered royalties.

Sustainability highlights

For the tenth year, AstraZeneca was recognised by CDP for climate action and water stewardship, receiving an A for Climate and A- for Water Security in 2025. This reflects the Company's significant progress in decarbonising and reducing its environmental footprint.

The Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) Health Systems Task Force, chaired by AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot, supported the development and launch of PSA 2090, the world's first global standard to measure and assess the environmental impact of pharmaceutical products through their lifecycle.

Reporting changes since FY 2024

Product Revenue

Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has updated the presentation of Total Revenue on the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income to include a new subtotal 'Product Revenue' representing the summation of Product Sales and Alliance Revenue.

Product Revenue and Collaboration Revenue form Total Revenue.

Product Sales and Alliance Revenue will continue to be presented separately, with the new subtotal providing additional aggregation of revenue types with similar characteristics, reflecting the growing importance of Alliance Revenue.

Full descriptions of Product Sales, Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue are included from page 152 of the Group's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024.

Gross Margin

Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has replaced the measure of 'Product Sales Gross Margin' with the measure of 'Gross Margin'. Previously, the measure excluded margin related to Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue. The new measure is calculated using Gross profit as a percentage of Total Revenue, thereby encompassing all revenue categories, and is intended to provide a more comprehensive measure of total performance.

Notes

1.  Constant exchange rates. The differences between Actual Change and CER Change are due to foreign exchange movements between periods in 2025 vs. 2024. CER financial measures are not accounted for according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) because they remove the effects of currency movements from Reported results.

2.  Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has updated its presentation of Total Revenue, adding a new subtotal of Product Revenue, the sum of Product Sales and Alliance Revenue. For further details, see Note 1: 'Basis of preparation and accounting policies' in the Notes to the Condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.  Core financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain items. The differences between Reported and Core measures are primarily due to costs relating to the amortisation of intangibles, impairments, legal settlements and restructuring charges. A full reconciliation between Reported EPS and Core EPS is provided in Tables 10 and 11 in the Financial Performance section of this document.

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

5.  Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has updated its presentation of Gross Margin, which is defined as Gross Profit divided by Total Revenue. In prior years, the Group's financial tables cited a different margin metric, Product Sales Gross Margin.   

6.  Income from disposals of assets and businesses, where the Group does not retain a significant ongoing economic interest, is recorded in Other operating income and expense in the Group's financial statements.

Sustainability

Sustainability highlights

For the tenth year, AstraZeneca was recognised by CDP for climate action and water stewardship, receiving an A for Climate and A- for Water Security in 2025, reflecting the Company's progress in decarbonising and reducing its environmental footprint. 

AstraZeneca was also named by TIME Magazine as one of the World's Best Companies in Sustainable Growth 2026, ranking among the top pharmaceutical companies for combined financial and environmental performance for the second year in a row. 

Climate and nature

At the end of 2025, the Company's cumulative reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions was 88% from the 2015 baseline.

In November 2025, Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease, announced an agreement with Carbon AMS to supply biomethane to meet 100% of the heating needs at its Ireland manufacturing sites. The agreement will add renewable capacity to Ireland's national gas grid and produce 32 GWh of biomethane annually for Alexion. This milestone is an important step to transitioning to 100% renewables and follows a series of innovative clean heat partnerships announced in the US, UK and China.

In January 2026, AstraZeneca hosted a pan-European media event at the Company's Dunkirk manufacturing site in France, focused on the Company's first approval of a pressurised metered dose inhaler using a next-generation propellant with near-zero Global Warming Potential.

AstraZeneca celebrated the inauguration of a new photovoltaic installation at its facility in Puerto Rico that will cut the site's greenhouse gas emissions by 173 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually, equivalent to an 8% reduction versus current emissions.

The Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) Health Systems Task Force, chaired by AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot, supported the development and launch of PSA 2090, the world's first global standard to measure and assess the environmental impact of pharmaceutical products through their lifecycle, in collaboration with BSI, NHS England and key partners. In addition, through the SMI, Chief Procurement Officers published a joint open letter to suppliers, encouraging common action to accelerate climate and nature action across the value chain and the use of joint targets for suppliers.

AstraZeneca joined government-hosted sessions at the 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in November, held in Belém, Brazil. AstraZeneca senior leaders underlined how sustainable healthcare and early action on chronic disease can improve the health of people and the planet and shared new evidence to support healthcare decarbonisation, focused on type 2 diabetes and CKD. AstraZeneca was the only pharmaceutical company represented at official COP30 events.

Health equity

As at end 2025, the expanded Healthy Heart Africa (HHA) programme, which includes CKD screening, diagnosis and management, had successfully launched in Rwanda, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Senegal. CKD guidelines, developed in partnership with Ministries of Health, were launched in six countries. New findings from the HHA extension study of INSIDE CKD, presented at economics conference ISPOR in November, highlighted the need for early action on chronic disease. 

CEO, Alexion and AstraZeneca's Chief Strategy Officer Marc Dunoyer renewed AstraZeneca's commitment to China's rare disease ecosystem at the second China Rare Disease Policy and Access Forum in Beijing in October, hosted by the China Alliance for Rare Diseases.

AstraZeneca played a central role in driving public-private partnerships that aim to support the implementation of the World Health Assembly Rare Disease Resolution into meaningful advances for patients across Southeast Asia. In November, the SEA Rare Disease Policy Forum, hosted by the Malaysian Ministry of Health and organised by patient groups the Asia Pacific Alliance of Rare Disease Organisations, supported by Rare Diseases International, advocated for advancements in health equity in the region.

In November 2025, at the 2025 One Young World Summit in Munich, AstraZeneca's Chief Financial Officer Aradhana Sarin gave a keynote address on why investing in and supporting young people to prevent diseases is key to building resilient, equitable health systems. The Company's delegation included 15 AstraZeneca Young Health Programme Impact Fellows as well as leaders and 90 employees.

AstraZeneca marked the UN's International Day of the Girl on 11 October 2025, including via a Girls Belong Here initiative where young women stepped into senior roles for the day. More than 120 girls from across 12 countries participated.

Health systems resilience 

In December, the Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR), a partnership co-founded by AstraZeneca, launched policy recommendations on how to improve non-communicable diseases (NCDs) prevention and treatment in Greece. This preceded the launch of a White Paper on Acting Early on Non-Communicable Diseases: A Framework for Health System Transformation in January 2026 which provides recommendations on how to tackle the NCD crisis, drawing from new research in Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Poland, and Spain.

AstraZeneca also hosted a discussion at the European Parliament, 'Investing in Health for a Competitive, Secure, and Resilient Europe', to discuss how PHSSR's recommendations from their report on sustainable healthcare financing can strengthen investment in health across Europe.

How we do business

AstraZeneca marked Global Ethics Day on 15 October with a week of events to highlight the importance of ethical decision making, behaviours and practices, and launched the Company's annual mandatory Code of Ethics training for all employees and the 2025 Ethics Survey.

Core financial measures, EBITDA, Net debt, Gross Margin, Operating Margin and CER are non-GAAP financial measures because they cannot be derived directly from the Group's Condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when provided in combination with Reported results, provide investors and analysts with helpful supplementary information to better understand the financial performance and position of the Group on a comparable basis from period to period.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Core financial measures (cont.)

Core financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain significant items:

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

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

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

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

Details on the nature of Core financial measures are provided on page 70 of the Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024.

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

Definitions

Gross Margin is defined as Gross Profit as a percentage of Total Revenue.

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

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

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

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

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

Profit and Loss drivers

Gross profit

The movement in Gross Margin in FY 2025 was a result of:

Positive effects from geographic mix

Negative effects from product mix. The rising contribution of Product Sales with profit sharing arrangements (Lynparza, Enhertu, Datroway, Tezspire, Koselugo) has a negative impact on Gross Margin because AstraZeneca records Product Sales in certain markets and pays away a share of the gross profits to its collaboration partners. The profit share paid to partners is recorded in AstraZeneca's Cost of sales line

Pricing adjustments, e.g. to sales reimbursed by the Medicare Part D programme in the US, diluted the Gross Margin

Royalty buyout expenses of $235m, incurred in the fourth quarter

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

R&D expense

The increase in R&D expense (Reported and Core) in the period was driven by:

Positive data readouts for high-value pipeline opportunities that have ungated late-stage trials

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

Addition of R&D projects following completion of previously announced business development activity

The change in Reported R&D expense also reflects a $753m impairment charge recorded against the vemircopan (ALXN2050) intangible asset in FY 2024.

SG&A expense

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

The change in Reported SG&A expense also reflects a $504m impairment charge recorded against the Andexxa intangible asset in FY 2024

Other operating income and expense

Other operating income in FY 2025 consisted primarily of royalties and an upfront fee income on a divestment

Net finance expense

Core Net finance expense decreased 7% (6% at CER) in FY 2025, principally due to changes in interest on tax, with movements in borrowing expenses broadly offset by lower interest income on cash balances.

Taxation

The effective Reported and Core tax rates for the twelve months to 31 December 2025 were 18% (FY 2024: 19%).

Dividends

A second interim dividend of $2.17 per share (159.5 pence, 19.49 SEK) has been declared, resulting in a full-year dividend per share of $3.20.

Dividend payments are normally paid as follows:

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

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

Dates for the FY 2025 second interim dividend: ex-dividend 19 February 2026 (for shares traded on the London Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stockholm), ex-dividend 20 February 2026 (for shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange), record date 20 February 2026, payable on 23 March 2026

Net cash flow

The change in Net cash inflow from operating activities of $2,714m is primarily driven by the increased Operating profit in FY2025.

The change in Net cash inflow before financing activities of $3,886m is primarily driven by, in addition to the change in Net cash inflow from operating activities, a reduction of $2,705m in cash outflow relating to the Acquisitions of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired, offset by an increase of $1,052m relating to capital expenditure on tangible assets and software-related intangible assets. In FY2024 the cash outflow relating to the Acquisitions of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired, included $1,997m related to the acquisition of Fusion Pharmaceuticals Inc. and $774m related to the acquisition of Gracell Biotechnologies Inc.The change in Net cash outflow from financing activities of $3,548m is primarily driven by the issue of new long-term loans of $6,492m in FY2024, with no issuance in FY2025, and offset by the repayment of loans of $2,029m in the current period compared to $4,652m of loans repaid in comparative period.

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure on tangible assets and software-related intangible assets amounted to $3,270m in FY 2025 (FY 2024: $2,218m). The increase of capital expenditure in FY2025 was driven by investment in several major manufacturing projects and continued investment in technology upgrades.

Net debt

Net debt decreased by $1,196m in the twelve months to 31 December 2025 to $23,374m. Details of the committed undrawn bank facilities are disclosed within the Going concern section of Note 1. Details of the Company's solicited credit ratings and further details on Net debt are disclosed in Note 3.

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

The AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes are senior unsecured obligations of AstraZeneca Finance and rank equally with all of AstraZeneca Finance's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantee by AstraZeneca PLC of the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of AstraZeneca PLC and ranks equally with all of AstraZeneca PLC's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Each guarantee by AstraZeneca PLC is effectively subordinated to any secured

indebtedness of AstraZeneca PLC to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of the subsidiaries of AstraZeneca PLC, none of which guarantee the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes.

AstraZeneca PLC manages substantially all of its operations through divisions, branches and/or investments in subsidiaries and affiliates. Accordingly, the ability of AstraZeneca PLC to service its debt and guarantee obligations is also dependent upon the earnings of its subsidiaries, affiliates, branches and divisions, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or otherwise. Please refer to the Consolidated financial statements of AstraZeneca PLC in our Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the SEC and information contained herein for further financial information regarding AstraZeneca PLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. For further details, terms and conditions of the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes please refer to AstraZeneca PLC's reports on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on 22 February 2024, 3 March 2023 and 28 May 2021.

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

Capital allocation

The Group's capital allocation priorities include: investing in the business and pipeline; maintaining a strong, investment-grade credit rating; potential value-enhancing business development opportunities; and supporting the progressive dividend policy.

In approving the declaration of dividends, the Board considers both the liquidity of the Company and the level of reserves legally available for distribution.

In FY 2026, the Company intends to increase the annual dividend declared to $3.30 per share. Dividends are paid to shareholders from AstraZeneca PLC, a Group holding company with no direct operations. The ability of AstraZeneca PLC to make shareholder distributions is dependent on the creation of profits for distribution and the receipt of funds from subsidiary companies.

The consolidated Group reserves set out in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position do not reflect the profit available for distribution to the shareholders of AstraZeneca PLC.

In FY 2025, capital expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets amounted to $3,270m. In FY 2026 the Group expects to increase expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets by approximately a third driven by manufacturing expansion projects and investments in systems and technology.

Foreign exchange

The Company's transactional currency exposures on working capital balances, which typically extend for up to three months, are hedged where practicable using forward foreign exchange contracts against the individual companies' reporting currency.Foreign exchange gains and losses on forward contracts transacted for transactional hedging are taken to profit or to Other comprehensive income if the contract is in a designated cashflow hedge.

In addition, the Company's external dividend payments, paid principally in pound sterling and Swedish krona, are fully hedged from the time of their announcement to the payment date.

Notes to the Condensed consolidated financial statements

Note 1: Basis of preparation and accounting policies

These Condensed consolidated financial statements for the twelve months ended 31 December 2025 have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards. The Condensed consolidated financial statements also comply fully with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and International Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

These Condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the financial results of AstraZeneca PLC for the years to 31 December 2025 and 2024 together with the Statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025 and 2024. The results for the year to 31 December 2025 have been extracted from the 31 December 2025 audited consolidated financial statements which have been approved by the Board of Directors. These have not yet been delivered to the Registrar of Companies but are expected to be published on 24 February 2026 within the Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2025.

The financial information set out above does not constitute the Group's statutory accounts for the years to 31 December 2025 or 2024 but is derived from these accounts. The auditors have reported on those accounts: their reports (i) were unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006 in respect of the accounts for the year to 31 December 2025 or for 31 December 2024. Statutory accounts for the year to 31 December 2025 were approved by the Board of Directors for release on 10 February 2026.

Amendments to accounting standards issued by the IASB and adopted in the year ended 31 December 2025 did not have a material impact on the result or financial position of the Group and the Condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared applying the accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the Group's published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 are not the Group's statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Group's auditors and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies; their report (i) was unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Product Revenue

Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has updated the presentation of Total Revenue on the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income to include a new subtotal 'Product Revenue' representing the summation of Product Sales and Alliance Revenue.

Product Revenue and Collaboration Revenue form Total Revenue.

Product Sales and Alliance Revenue will continue to be presented separately, with the new subtotal providing additional aggregation of revenue types with similar characteristics, reflecting the growing importance of Alliance Revenue.

Full descriptions of Product Sales, Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue are included from page 152 of the Group's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024.

There are no changes to the Revenue accounting policy regarding the types of transactions recorded in each revenue category. The comparative period has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the additional subtotal, resulting in total Product Revenue being reported for the twelve months ended 31 December 2024 of $53,150m.

Going concern

The Group has considerable financial resources available. As at 31 December 2025, the Group has $10.6bn in financial resources (cash and cash equivalent balances of $5.7bn and undrawn committed bank facilities of $4.9bn that are available until April 2030), with $3.5bn of borrowings due within one year.  These facilities contain no financial covenants, and in January 2026 their maturity was extended to April 2031.

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

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

Legal proceedings

The information contained in Note 5 updates the disclosures concerning legal proceedings and contingent liabilities in the Group's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024.

Note 2: Intangible assets

In accordance with IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets', reviews for triggers of impairment or impairment reversals at an individual asset or cash generating unit level were conducted, and impairment tests carried out where triggers were identified. In 2025, the Group recorded impairment charges of $8m (2024: $504m) in respect of launched products. Impairment charges recorded against products in development totalled $210m (2024: $1,073m).

EsoBiotec

The acquisition of EsoBiotec completed on 19 May 2025. The transaction is recorded as an asset acquisition based upon the concentration test permitted under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations', with

consideration and net assets acquired of $403m, which included intangible assets acquired of $426m. Contingent consideration of up to $575m could be paid on achievement of regulatory milestones, those liabilities will be recorded when the relevant regulatory milestones are achieved.

Agreement with Merck on Koselugo

Intangible asset additions of $536m in the third quarter relate to the total of net upfront payment made, the present value of non-contingent future payments and a sales-related payment due to Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck) in connection with the restructuring of arrangements relating to Koselugo, recorded as an asset acquisition.

A regulatory milestone of $50m, and sales-related payment of $35m additionally fell due and were capitalised in the third quarter. Two more regulatory milestones totalling $125m were achieved and capitalised in the fourth quarter. Further contingent payments of up to $175m could be paid on achievement of regulatory milestones or on achievement of sales-related thresholds. Those liabilities will be recorded when milestones are triggered, or performance conditions have been satisfied. Sales-related payments are accrued and capitalised when considered probable with reference to the latest Group sales forecasts for approved indications at the present value of expected future cash flows.

(23,374)

The table above provides an analysis of Net debt and a reconciliation of Net cash flow to the movement in Net debt. The Group monitors Net debt as part of its capital management policy as described in Note 28 of the Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024. Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Net debt decreased by $1,196m in the twelve months to 31 December 2025 to $23,374m. Details of the committed undrawn bank facilities are disclosed within the going concern section of Note 1. Non-cash movements in the period include fair value adjustments under IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'.

The Group has agreements with some bank counterparties whereby the parties agree to post cash collateral on financial derivatives, for the benefit of the other, equivalent to the market valuation of the derivative positions above a predetermined threshold. The carrying value of such cash collateral held by the Group at 31 December 2025 was $473m (31 December 2024: $181m) and the carrying value of such cash collateral posted by the Group at 31 December 2025 was $22m (31 December 2024: $129m).

The equivalent GAAP measure to Net debt is 'liabilities arising from financing activities', which excludes the amounts for cash and overdrafts, other investments and non-financing derivatives above.

During the twelve months ended 31 December 2025, Moody's upgraded the Group's solicited long term credit rating to A1 from A2, which occurred during Q1 2025. The short term rating remained at
P-1. There were no changes to Standard and Poor's credit ratings (long term: A+; short term: A-1).

Note 4: Financial Instruments

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

The Group has certain equity investments that are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy that are held at $458m (31 December 2024: $353m) and for which a fair value loss of $50m has been recognised in the twelve months ended 31 December 2025 (FY 2024: $9m). In the absence of specific market data, these unlisted investments are held at fair value based on the cost of investment and adjusted as necessary for impairments and revaluations on new funding rounds, which are seen to approximate the fair value. All other fair value gains and/or losses that are presented in Net gains on equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, in the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the twelve months ended 31 December 2025 are Level 1 fair value measurements, valued based on quoted prices in active markets.

Financial instruments measured at fair value include $2,231m of other investments, $4,224m held in money-market funds and $507m of derivatives as at 31 December 2025. With the exception of derivatives being Level 2 fair valued, and certain equity instruments of $458m categorised as Level 3, the aforementioned balances are Level 1 fair valued. Financial instruments measured at amortised cost include $22m of cash collateral pledged to counterparties. The total fair value of Interest-bearing loans and borrowings as at 31 December 2025, which have a carrying value of $29,622m in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position, was $29,221m.

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

The contingent consideration balance relating to BMS's share of the global diabetes alliance of $257m (31 December 2024: $1,309m) is due for final payment in 2026.

Note 5: Legal proceedings and contingent liabilities

AstraZeneca is involved in various legal proceedings considered typical to its business, including litigation and investigations, including Government investigations, relating to product liability, commercial disputes, infringement of intellectual property (IP) rights, the validity of certain patents, anti-trust law and sales and marketing practices. The matters discussed below constitute the more significant developments since publication of the disclosures concerning legal proceedings in the Company's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024, the H1 2025 and the Q3 2025 results announcements (the Disclosures). Information about the nature and facts of the cases is disclosed in accordance with IAS 37 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets'.

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

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

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

Matters disclosed in respect of the fourth quarter of 2025 and to 10 February 2026

Table 24: Patent litigation

Legal proceedings brought against AstraZeneca

Enhertu patent proceedings, US

Considered to be a contingent liability

 

*   In October 2020, Seagen Inc. (Seagen) filed a complaint against Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (Daiichi Sankyo) in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (District Court) alleging that Enhertu infringes a Seagen patent. AstraZeneca co-commercialises Enhertu with Daiichi Sankyo in the US. After trial in April 2022, the jury found that the patent was infringed and awarded Seagen $41.82m in past damages. In July 2022, the District Court entered final judgment and declined to enhance damages on the basis of wilfulness. In October 2023, the District Court entered an amended final judgment that requires Daiichi Sankyo to pay Seagen a royalty of 8% on US sales of Enhertu from 1 April 2022 through to 4 November 2024, in addition to the past damages previously awarded by the District Court. AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo have appealed the District Court's decision.

*   In December 2020 and January 2021, AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo filed post-grant review (PGR) petitions with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) alleging, among other things, that the Seagen patent is invalid for lack of written description and enablement. The USPTO initially declined to institute the PGRs, but, in April 2022, the USPTO granted the rehearing requests and instituted both PGR petitions. Seagen subsequently disclaimed all patent claims at issue in one of the PGR proceedings. In July 2022, the USPTO reversed its institution decision and declined to institute the other PGR petition. AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo requested reconsideration of the decision not to institute review of the patent. In February 2023, the USPTO reinstituted the PGR proceeding. In February 2024, the USPTO issued a decision that the claims were unpatentable. Seagen has appealed this decision; the USPTO has intervened in the appeal.

*   In December 2025, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued decisions in both the District Court and PGR appeals finding that Seagen's patent is invalid and vacating the District Court's prior judgment and damages award.

Forxiga patent proceedings, Europe

Considered to be a contingent liability

 

*   In November 2025, in France, Biogaran SAS challenged one of AstraZeneca's patents covering Forxiga. No trial date has been set.

*   In Poland and in Portugal, multiple generic companies have challenged one of AstraZeneca's patents covering Forxiga. No trial date has been set.

*   In Poland, in January 2026, AstraZeneca obtained interim injunctions against the generic companies that have challenged the patent.

Tagrisso patent proceedings, China

Considered to be a contingent liability

 

*   In January 2025, an individual filed invalidity challenges against several Chinese patents protecting Tagrisso.

*   A hearing before the Chinese Patent Office (Patent Office) was held in July 2025.

*   In November 2025, the Patent Office issued decisions maintaining the compound patents. 

*   In January 2026, the Patent Office dismissed the invalidity case against the formulation patent.

Calquence patent proceedings, US

Considered to be a contingent asset

Ltd. (collectively, MSN) in November 2024.

*   In response to these Paragraph IV notices, AstraZeneca filed patent infringement lawsuits against Cipla in May 2024 and against MSN in January 2025 in the US District Court for the District of Delaware (District Court). In the complaints, AstraZeneca alleges that a generic version of Calquence tablets, if approved and marketed, would infringe patents that are owned or licensed by AstraZeneca. Trial has been scheduled for April 2027.

*   In December 2025, AstraZeneca entered into a settlement agreement with MSN and the District Court dismissed the corresponding litigation. The litigation with Cipla is ongoing.

Forxiga patent proceedings, Australia

Considered to be a contingent asset

*   In December 2025, in the Federal Court of Australia, AstraZeneca initiated patent infringement litigation against Pharmacor Pty Limited in reference to one of the patents that protects Forxiga.

Farxiga and Xigduo XR, US

Considered to be a contingent liability

*   AstraZeneca has been named as a defendant in lawsuits involving plaintiffs claiming physical injury, including Fournier's Gangrene and necrotising fasciitis, from treatment with Farxiga and/or Xigduo XR.

*   The parties have reached a settlement in principle for a non-material amount to resolve the single case scheduled for trial in March 2026.

Table 26: Commercial litigation

Legal proceedings brought against AstraZeneca

Anti-Terrorism Act Civil Lawsuit, US

Considered to be a contingent liability

*   In the US, in October 2017, AstraZeneca and certain other pharmaceutical and/or medical device companies were named as defendants in a complaint filed in the US District Court for the District of Columbia (District Court) by US nationals (or their estates, survivors, or heirs) who were killed or wounded in Iraq between 2005 and 2013. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants violated the US Anti-Terrorism Act and various state laws by selling pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to the Iraqi Ministry of Health. In July 2020, the District Court granted AstraZeneca's and the other defendants' motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which the DC Circuit Court of Appeals (the Appellate Court) reversed in January 2022.

*   In June 2024, the United States Supreme Court issued an order vacating the 2022 decision and remanding to the Appellate Court for reconsideration under new case law. In January 2026, after reconsideration, the Second Circuit issued a decision again allowing the claims to proceed and returning the matter to the District Court, where AstraZeneca has a separate motion to dismiss pending.

Definiens, Germany

Considered to be a contingent liability

*   In July 2020, AstraZeneca received a notice of arbitration filed with the German Institution of Arbitration from the sellers of Definiens AG (Sellers) regarding the 2014 share purchase agreement (SPA) between AstraZeneca and the Sellers. The Sellers claim that they are owed approximately $140m in earn-outs under the SPA. In December 2023, after an arbitration hearing, the arbitration panel made a final award of $46m in favour of the Sellers.

*   In March 2024, AstraZeneca filed an application with the Bavarian Supreme Court (Court) to set aside the arbitration award.

*   In April 2025, the Court ruled in favour of AstraZeneca, annulled the arbitration award, and referred the dispute back to the same arbitration panel for a second determination.

*   In May 2025, the Sellers appealed the Court's decision to the German Federal Court of Justice (Court of Justice). AstraZeneca also appealed the decision to refer the dispute back to the same arbitration panel.

*   In January 2026, the Court of Justice upheld the Court's decision to annul the arbitration award and referred the dispute back to the same arbitration panel.

Novartis Advertising Litigation, US

Considered to be a contingent liability

*   In October 2025, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Delaware alleging false and misleading representation claims under the Lanham Act and state law unfair competition and deceptive practices claims.

*   The complaint alleges that statements in AstraZeneca's marketing for treatment for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria are false and misleading.

Soliris Antitrust Class Action, US

Considered to be a contingent liability

*   In April 2025, AstraZeneca was named in a lawsuit filed in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts (District Court) alleging antitrust claims on behalf of a potential class of end payors for Soliris from March 2022.

*   The plaintiff alleges that AstraZeneca violated federal and state antitrust and business practices laws by obtaining improper patents for Soliris, delaying biosimilar entry and improperly extending Soliris' market exclusivity.

*   In December 2025, the District Court partially granted AstraZeneca's motion to dismiss.

Table 27: Government investigations and proceedings

Legal proceedings brought against AstraZeneca

China Personal Information Infringement and Illegal Trade Matters, China

Considered to be a contingent liability

*   In relation to the personal information infringement allegation, in April 2025, AstraZeneca Investment (China) Co., Ltd. received a Notice of Transfer to the Prosecutor from the Shenzhen Bao'an District Public Security Bureau regarding suspected unlawful collection of personal information.

*   In relation to the illegal trade allegation, in October 2025, AstraZeneca Investment (China) Co., Ltd. received a final appraisal opinion from the Shenzhen City Customs Office, informing AstraZeneca Investment (China) Co., Ltd. that the total amount of unpaid import taxes is RMB 24m (approximately USD $3.5m). The import taxes mentioned in the Appraisal Opinion relate to Imfinzi, Imjudo, and Enhertu. In October 2025, AstraZeneca Investment (China) Co., Ltd. prepaid the full amount as voluntary compensation to the State. A fine of between one and five times the amount of these paid importation taxes may also be levied if AstraZeneca Investment (China) Co., Ltd. is found liable for illegal trade.

*   In November 2025, the Shenzhen Prosecutor concluded its evaluation. AstraZeneca Investment (China) Co., Ltd., the former EVP and one former senior employee were indicted on charges of unlawful collection of personal information and illegal trade, although no illegal gain to AstraZeneca Investment (China) Co., Ltd. was alleged resulting from unlawful collection of personal information.

*   The former EVP and former senior employee were additionally indicted on charges of medical insurance fraud. AstraZeneca Investment (China) Co., Ltd. has not been indicted on charges of medical insurance fraud.

*   The matters have been consolidated into one proceeding before the Shenzhen City Intermediate Court. No trial date has been scheduled.

Legal proceedings brought by AstraZeneca

340B State Litigation, US

Considered to be a contingent asset

*   AstraZeneca has filed lawsuits against Arkansas, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, and West Virginia challenging the constitutionality of each state's 340B statute. 

*   AstraZeneca has ongoing enforcement actions in Arkansas and Louisiana for alleged non-compliance with each state's 340B statute. In April 2025, an order was issued in the Arkansas proceeding requiring AstraZeneca to pause its contract pharmacy policy, which AstraZeneca has appealed. 

*   In Arkansas, the Court denied a motion to dismiss. 

*   In Colorado, the Court denied AstraZeneca's motion for a preliminary injunction, which AstraZeneca has appealed. 

*   In Kansas, after obtaining a stipulation from the state that AstraZeneca's policy does not violate the Kansas 340B statute, AstraZeneca agreed to dismiss its complaint. 

*   In Louisiana, the Court denied AstraZeneca's motion for summary judgement, which AstraZeneca has appealed. 

*   In Maryland and Mississippi, the Court denied AstraZeneca's motion for a preliminary injunction. 

*   In Minnesota, the Court found that the government officials lacked enforcement authority and dismissed AstraZeneca's complaint for lack of standing. 

*   In Missouri, the Court granted in part and denied in part the state's motion to dismiss. 

*   In Oklahoma, the Court granted AstraZeneca's motion for a preliminary injunction, which Oklahoma has appealed.  

*   AstraZeneca's lawsuits are stayed in Rhode Island, Utah, and West Virginia.

Calquence Inflation Reduction Act Litigation, US

Considered to be a contingent asset

*   In December 2025, AstraZeneca filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Maryland challenging the US Department of Health and Human Services' interpretation of "qualifying single source drug" under the Inflation Reduction Act and its application in selecting Calquence for drug price negotiation. 

Other

Additional government inquiries

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

This document contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the operations, performance and financial condition of the Group, including, among other things, statements about expected revenues, margins, earnings per share or other financial or other measures.
