Key performance elements for 9M 2025
(Growth numbers at constant exchange rates)
* Total Revenue up 11% to $43,236m, driven by growth in all Therapy Areas, including 16% growth in Oncology and 13% growth in R&I
* Growth in Total Revenue across all major geographic regions
* Core Operating profit increased 13%
* Core EPS increased 15% to $7.04
* 16 positive Phase III readouts and 31 approvals in major regions
Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca, said:
"The strong underlying momentum across our business through the first nine months of the year sets us up well to sustain growth through 2026 and has us on track to deliver our 2030 ambition.
Across our pipeline we have announced an unprecedented 16 positive Phase III trials this year, with four since our previous results including high-impact readouts for baxdrostat in hypertension and Enhertu and Datroway in breast cancer.
We are also delivering on our strategy to strengthen our operations in the United States to power our growth. This includes a historic agreement with the US government to lower the cost of medicines for American patients, and broadening our US manufacturing footprint having broken ground at our new $4.5bn Virginia manufacturing facility in October."
Guidance
AstraZeneca reiterates its Total Revenue and Core EPS guidance4 for FY 2025 at CER, based on the average foreign exchange rates through 2024.
Total Revenue is expected to increase by a high single-digit percentage
Core EPS is expected to increase by a low double-digit percentage
The Core Tax rate is expected to be between 18-22%
If foreign exchange rates for October 2025 to December 2025 were to remain at the average rates seen in September 2025, it is anticipated that FY 2025 Total Revenue growth and Core EPS growth would be broadly similar to the growth at CER (unchanged from the previous guidance).

Corporate and business development
Listing harmonisation
As announced on 29 September 2025 and approved by shareholders on 3 November 2025, AstraZeneca will harmonise its share listing structure to deliver a global listing for global investors in a global company. It is expected that AstraZeneca shareholders will be able to trade their interests in AstraZeneca ordinary shares across the London Stock Exchange, Nasdaq Stockholm and the New York Stock Exchange from 2 February 2026. For further details, see the Circular containing details of the Harmonised Listing Structure.
US investment plans
In October 2025, AstraZeneca announced having broken ground on its $4.5bn manufacturing facility in Rivanna Futures, Albemarle County, Virginia. This is part of the Company's plans to invest $50bn in US manufacturing and R&D by 2030, announced in July 2025.
The Virginia plant is expected to create approximately 3,600 direct and indirect jobs. It will produce drug substance for AstraZeneca's weight management and metabolic portfolio, including oral GLP-1 (AZD5004), baxdrostat, oral PCSK9 (laroprovstat) and combination small molecule products, and also antibody drug conjugates for the Oncology portfolio.
Agreement with US Government
In October 2025, AstraZeneca announced a historic agreement with the US administration to lower the cost of prescription medicines for American patients. The Company voluntarily agreed to a range of measures which will enable American patients to access medicines at prices that are equalised with those available in wealthy countries.
As part of the agreement, AstraZeneca will provide Direct-to-Consumer sales to eligible patients with prescriptions for select products for chronic diseases.
AstraZeneca has also reached an agreement with the US Department of Commerce to delay Section 232 tariffs for three years, enabling the Company to fully onshore medicines manufacturing so that all of its medicines sold in America are made in America.
SixPeaks
On 22 October 2025, AstraZeneca, by exercise of an option, completed the acquisition of the remaining share capital of SixPeaks Bio AG (SixPeaks), following an initial investment of $15m made in Q2 2024. $170m was paid on closing, $30m to be paid after two years and up to a further $100m is payable on achievement of regulatory milestones. SixPeaks is investigating potential therapies for weight-management with the aim of preserving lean muscle mass.
Agreement with Merck on Koselugo
In August 2025, the contractual arrangements between AstraZeneca and Merck & Co., Inc., (Merck; known as MSD outside of the US and Canada) were updated and simplified relating to the global development and commercialisation of Koselugo, an oral, selective MEK inhibitor. Under the updated arrangements AstraZeneca will fully recognise the costs, revenues and profits of Koselugo globally. Merck received an upfront payment of $150 million and will receive deferred payments totalling up to $400m. In addition, Merck is eligible to receive up to $175m in potential approval milestones and up to $235m in sales milestone payments, plus single-digit royalties based on net sales. Prior to the updated arrangements, AstraZeneca fully recognised the revenues of Koselugo but shared equally pre-tax profits and losses of the product with Merck.
Sustainability highlights
For the third consecutive year, TIME Magazine recognised AstraZeneca as one of the World's Best Companies with the Company ranking at 43 out of 1,000 global companies and as the top pharmaceutical company in terms of sustainability transparency.
Reporting calendar
The Company intends to publish its FY and Q4 2025 results on 10 February 2026.
Conference call
A conference call and webcast for investors and analysts will begin today, 6 November 2025, at 13:00 UK time. Details can be accessed via astrazeneca.com.
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 Interim 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 9 and 10 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. For further details, see Note 1: 'Basis of preparation and accounting policies' in the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements.
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 third consecutive year, TIME Magazine recognised AstraZeneca as one of the World's Best Companies with the Company ranking at 43 out of 1,000 global companies and as the top pharmaceutical company in terms of sustainability transparency. AstraZeneca also secured fifth place in Sustainability Magazine's Top 250 World's Most Sustainable Companies 2025, affirming its status as a global leader in responsible business and pharmaceutical innovation.
AstraZeneca engaged on climate action, health systems resilience and health equity at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly High-Level Meeting on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and Climate Week NYC in September through over 100 engagements. EVP Global Operations, IT and Chief Sustainability Officer Pam Cheng represented the private sector at the UN alongside governments, NGOs and academia, focusing on the need to tackle NCDs.
Chair Michel Demaré also joined a group of 25 global health leaders, including former heads of state and ministers, calling for action on this topic through an Open Letter in POLITICO, with a focus on the human, social and financial impacts of chronic disease and targeted solutions.
Sustainability impact
Climate and nature
- The Company focused on sustainable respiratory care at the European Respiratory Society (ERS), hosting a sustainability symposium, key engagements and running a sustainable booth with a living lung installation.
- The Company won a 2025 Freezer Challenge Award for the fourth time from My Green Lab and the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories, recognised as the Top Organization in the biotech and pharmaceutical sector for energy savings and best-in-class cold storage management.
Health equity
- At EXPO 2025, the Company advanced priorities to transform lung health in Japan and Asia-Pacific through best practice sharing on screening and integrated disease management. The Company convened national and international government and clinical experts in lung cancer and COPD to further collaboration for high-risk patients and reduce mortality in Japan.
- AstraZeneca's Young Health Programme (YHP) received the ACE Award for Workforce Innovation and Global Impact at the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association's (HBA) annual conference, recognising how the programme supports employee engagement, advances health equity and strengthens health systems through youth empowerment. YHP was also recognised with the Third Sector Award for Large Corporate Partnership of the Year with Plan International UK.
- The Company expanded its Healthy Heart Africa (HHA) programme in the Côte d'Ivoire, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, to include chronic kidney disease (CKD) care in addition to hypertension. The programme also expanded in Rwanda, where it will develop a protocol for CKD care in primary health, with training to be cascaded to healthcare providers, in collaboration with PATH.
Health systems resilience
- The Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR) published its summary report on Acting Early on NCDs which captures highlights from research conducted in eight countries on health systems' capability to act early on cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and CVRM. AstraZeneca engaged on its findings with the World Economic Forum Sustainable Development Impact Meetings in New York.

Core financial measures
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 interim financial statements.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when provided in combination with Reported results, provide investors and analysts with helpful supplementary information to understand better the financial performance and position of the Group on a comparable basis from period to period.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Core financial measures (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 and debt items assumed from the Alexion acquisition and legal settlements
- The tax effects of the adjustments above are excluded from the Core Tax charge
Details on the nature of Core financial measures are provided on page 70 of the Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024.

Profit and Loss drivers
Gross profit
The stable Gross Margin (Reported and Core) in 9M 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, 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, for example to sales reimbursed by the Medicare Part D programme in the US, diluted the Gross Margin
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 change in R&D expense (Reported and Core) in the period was impacted by:
- Positive data read-outs for high-value pipeline opportunities that have ungated late-stage trials
- Investment in platforms, new technology and capabilities to enhance R&D capabilities
- Addition of R&D projects following completion of previously announced business development activity
SG&A expense
- The change in SG&A expense (Reported and Core) in the period was driven primarily by market development activities for launches and to support continued growth in existing brands
Other operating income and expense
- Other operating income in 9M 2025 consisted primarily of royalties and an upfront fee on a divestment
Net finance expense
Core Net finance expense decreased 4% (4% at CER) in 9M 2025, mainly driven by an adjustment of interest on tax, due to a reduction of tax liabilities relating to prior periods, recognised in the first quarter, and also a reduction in short-term borrowings.
Core Net finance expense decreased 7% (9% at CER) in Q3 2025, mainly driven by a reduction in short-term borrowings.
Taxation
The effective Reported and Core tax rates for the nine months to 30 September 2025 were 19% (9M 2024: 21% and 20% respectively).
The cash tax paid for the nine months ended 30 September 2025 was $2,193m (9M 2024: $1,978m), representing 22% of Reported Profit before tax (9M 2024: 28%).

Net cash flow
The change in Net cash inflow from operating activities of $3,279m is primarily driven by the increased operating profit in 2025.
The change in Net cash inflow before financing activities of $4,716m is primarily driven by the reduction in cash outflow relating to the Acquisitions of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired of $2,771m, which in 2024 related to the acquisition of Gracell Biotechnologies Inc. and the acquisition of Fusion Pharmaceuticals Inc.
The change in Net cash outflow from financing activities of $937m is primarily driven by the issue of new long-term loans of $6,492m in 2024, with no issuance in 2025, and offset by the repayment of loans of $4,647m in 2024, with no repayment in 2025.
Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets amounted to $2,091m in 9M 2025 (9M 2024: $1,415m). The increase of capital expenditure in 2025 was driven by investment in several major manufacturing projects and continued investment in technology upgrades.
Net debt
Net debt decreased by $605m in the nine months to 30 September 2025 to $23,965m. 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.

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.

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 2025, the Company intends to increase the annual dividend per share declared to $3.20 per share. Dividends are paid to shareholders from AstraZeneca PLC, a Group holding company with no direct operations. The ability of AstraZeneca PLC to make shareholder distributions is dependent on the creation of profits for distribution and the receipt of funds from subsidiary companies.
The consolidated Group reserves set out in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position do not reflect the profit available for distribution to the shareholders of AstraZeneca PLC.
In FY 2024, capital expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets amounted to $2,218m. In FY 2025 the Group expects to increase expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets by approximately 50%, driven by manufacturing expansion projects and investments in systems and technology.
Foreign exchange
The Company's transactional currency exposures on working capital balances, which typically extend for up to three months, are hedged where practicable using forward foreign exchange contracts against the individual companies' reporting currency.Foreign exchange gains and losses on forward contracts transacted for transactional hedging are taken to profit or to Other comprehensive income if the contract is in a designated cashflow hedge.
In addition, the Company's external dividend payments, paid principally in pound sterling and Swedish krona, are fully hedged from the time of their announcement to the payment date.

Notes to the Interim financial statements
Note 1: Basis of preparation and accounting policies
These unaudited Interim financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' (IAS 34), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union, UK-adopted IAS 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards.
The unaudited Interim financial statements for the nine months ended 30 September 2025 were approved by the Board of Directors for publication on 6 November 2025.
This results announcement does not constitute statutory accounts of the Group within the meaning of sections 434(3) and 435(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024 were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The annual financial statements also comply fully with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and International Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Except for the estimation of the interim income tax charge, the Interim 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 was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
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 nine months ended 30 September 2024 of $39,074m.
Going concern
The Group has considerable financial resources available. As at 30 September 2025, the Group has $13.0bn in financial resources (cash and cash equivalent balances of $8.1bn and undrawn committed bank facilities of $4.9bn that are available until April 2030), with $6.6bn of borrowings due within one year. These facilities contain no financial covenants.
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
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, current payables of $29m, $4m of cash and cash equivalents and current receivables of $2m. Contingent consideration of up to $575m could be paid on achievement of regulatory milestones, those liabilities will be recorded when the relevant regulatory milestone is achieved.
Intangible asset additions of $536m in the 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 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 quarter. Further contingent payments of up to $300m 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.

(23,965) |
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 $605m in the nine months to 30 September 2025 to $23,965m.
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 30 September 2025 was $413m (31 December 2024: $181m) and the carrying value of such cash collateral posted by the Group at 30 September 2025 was $25m (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 shown.
During the nine months ended 30 September 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 $539m (31 December 2024: $353m) and for which a fair value loss of $47m has been recognised in the nine months ended 30 September 2025 (9M 2024: $nil). 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/(losses) on equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, in the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the nine months ended 30 September 2025 are Level 1 fair value measurements, valued based on quoted prices in active markets.
Financial instruments measured at fair value include $2,004m of other investments, $6,732m held in money-market funds and $485m of derivatives as at 30 September 2025. With the exception of derivatives being Level 2 fair valued, and certain equity instruments of $539m categorised as Level 3, the aforementioned balances are Level 1 fair valued. Financial instruments measured at amortised cost include $25m of cash collateral pledged to counterparties. The total fair value of Interest-bearing loans and borrowings as at 30 September 2025, which have a carrying value of $32,632m in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position, was $32,275m.
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 $523m (31 December 2024: $1,309m) would increase/decrease by $52m with an increase/decrease in sales of 10%, as compared with the current estimates.

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 and the Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (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 third quarter of 2025 and to 6 November 2025
Table 23: Patent litigation
Legal proceedings brought against AstraZeneca
|
Factor Bioscience patent proceedings, US Considered to be a contingent liability |
* In September 2025, Factor Bioscience Inc. (Factor) filed a complaint against AstraZeneca, and others in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging infringement of several Factor patents related to technology for producing gene-edited cells using synthetic messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) molecules encoding transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) gene-editing proteins. * The complaint alleges that certain drug research, design and development activities by AstraZeneca and others infringe Factor's patents. |

|
Tagrisso patent proceedings, Russia Considered to be a contingent asset |
* In August 2023, AstraZeneca filed lawsuits in the Arbitration Court of the Moscow region (Court) against the Russian Ministry of Health (MOH) and Axelpharm LLC (Axelpharm) for improper use of AstraZeneca's information in the authorisation of a generic version of Tagrisso. The suit against the MOH was dismissed in July 2024, after two appeals. The case against Axelpharm was dismissed in September 2024, and AstraZeneca has appealed. * In November 2023, Axelpharm sought a compulsory licence under a patent related to Tagrisso; the action remains pending. The Axelpharm patent on which the compulsory licensing action was based was held invalid by the Russian Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) in August 2024 following a challenge by AstraZeneca. The PTO's decision was upheld in June 2025, following an appeal by Axelpharm. In August 2025, Axelpharm filed a further appeal before the Presidium of the Intellectual Property Court and that appeal will be heard in November 2025. * In July 2024, AstraZeneca filed a patent infringement claim against Axelpharm in relation to a generic version of Tagrisso. The action was stayed by the Court pending resolution of the compulsory licensing action. * In August 2024, after AstraZeneca filed a complaint, the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service of Russia (FAS) initiated a case against Axelpharm and OncoTarget LLC (OncoTarget). In November 2024, the FAS found Axelpharm to have committed unfair competition, but not OncoTarget. Axelpharm's appeal against the FAS's finding was upheld in June 2025. AstraZeneca appealed against the ruling in June 2025 and a hearing has been scheduled before the Ninth Arbitration Appellate Court in December 2025. |

In February 2024, the District Court denied Plaintiffs' request to file an amended complaint and entered an order closing the matter. In March 2024, Plaintiffs filed an appeal. * In August 2025, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the District Court's decision. * AstraZeneca and the other defendants have filed a motion for reconsideration. |
|
Seroquel XR Antitrust Litigation, US Matter concluded |
* In 2019, AstraZeneca was named in several related complaints now proceeding in US District Court in Delaware (District Court), including several putative class action lawsuits that were purportedly brought on behalf of classes of direct purchasers or end payors of Seroquel XR, that allege AstraZeneca and generic drug manufacturers violated US antitrust laws when settling patent litigation related to Seroquel XR. * In July 2022, the District Court dismissed claims relating to one of the generic manufacturers while allowing claims relating to the second generic manufacturer to proceed. * In September 2024, AstraZeneca reached a settlement agreement with one of the plaintiff classes which the court approved. * In May 2025, AstraZeneca resolved the matter with all remaining plaintiffs for a total payment of $97m. In September of 2025, the Court approved the class-related portion of the settlement. * The matter is now concluded. |

|
Shenzhen Bay Customs Office, China Considered to be a contingent liability
|
* In relation to the alleged unpaid importation taxes, in October 2025, AstraZeneca received a final appraisal notice, which supersedes the previously-disclosed appraisal notices, from the Shenzhen Bay Customs Office stating that the total amount of unpaid tax, inclusive of the previously-disclosed amounts, is RMB 24 million (approximately $3.5m). * To the best of AstraZeneca's knowledge, the importation taxes referred to in the appraisal notice relate to Enhertu, Imfinzi and Imjudo. * AstraZeneca has since 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 is found liable. |

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, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia challenging the constitutionality of each state's 340B statute. * In Arkansas, AstraZeneca moved for summary judgment in August 2025, and the Court denied the intervenor's motion to dismiss in September 2025 finding AstraZeneca's claims were distinct from the claims in the prior PhRMA litigation. Trial is scheduled for February 2026. * In Colorado, AstraZeneca filed a complaint in August 2025 and a motion for a preliminary injunction in October 2025. * In Hawaii, AstraZeneca filed a complaint in August 2025 and a motion for a preliminary injunction in September 2025. * In Louisiana, the Louisiana Department of Justice sent AstraZeneca a Civil Investigative Demand in September 2025 for alleged non-compliance with Louisiana's 340B Statute. * In Maine, AstraZeneca filed a complaint in September 2025. * In North Dakota, AstraZeneca filed a complaint in August 2025. * In Oklahoma, AstraZeneca filed a complaint and a motion for a preliminary injunction in October 2025.

* In August 2023, AstraZeneca filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Delaware (District Court) against the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) challenging aspects of the drug price negotiation provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act and the implementing guidance and regulations. In March 2024, the District Court granted HHS' motions and dismissed AstraZeneca's lawsuit. * In May 2025, the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the District Court's dismissal of AstraZeneca's challenge. * In September 2025, AstraZeneca sought review by the US Supreme Court. |
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.
Note 6: Subsequent events
On 22 October 2025, AstraZeneca, by exercise of an option, completed the acquisition of the remaining share capital of SixPeaks Bio AG (SixPeaks), following an initial investment of $15m made in Q2 2024. $170m was paid on closing, $30m to be paid after two years and up to a further $100m is payable on achievement of regulatory milestones, which will be accrued for at its present value. These payments will be recognised in equity as SixPeaks has been consolidated as a subsidiary due to AstraZeneca's control since the initial equity investment in Q2 2024.
