Recent Events

•AbbVie announced that it completed its acquisition of Cerevel, adding a pipeline of highly complementary assets to AbbVie's existing neuroscience portfolio. Cerevel's pipeline includes emraclidine, a potential best-in-class, next-generation antipsychotic, that is being studied for the treatment of schizophrenia; tavapadon, a first-in-class dopamine D1/D5 selective partial agonist for the management of Parkinson's disease (PD); as well as CVL-354, a potential best-in-class kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist being studied for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). Cerevel is a strong strategic fit for AbbVie and has potential to meaningfully impact revenue into the next decade.

•AbbVie announced positive topline results from its pivotal Phase 3 TEMPO-1 trial evaluating tavapadon as a fixed-dose monotherapy treatment in early PD. In the study, tavapadon met the primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement from baseline in the Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) Parts II and III combined score at week 26. Tavapadon also met the key secondary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant improvement from baseline in the MDS-UPDRS Part II score. Full results from the TEMPO-1 study will be submitted for presentation at future medical meetings and used to support regulatory submissions of tavapadon as a treatment for PD. Topline results from TEMPO-2, the Phase 3 flexible-dose monotherapy trial for tavapadon, are expected by the end of 2024.

•AbbVie announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Vyalev (foscarbidopa and foslevodopa) as the first subcutaneous 24-hour infusion of levodopa-based therapy for the treatment of motor fluctuations in adults with advanced PD. The approval was supported by results from a pivotal Phase 3 head-to-head, randomized and controlled clinical trial that demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia and decreased "off" time, compared to oral immediate-release carbidopa/levodopa (CD/LD).

•AbbVie and Aliada Therapeutics announced a definitive agreement under which AbbVie will acquire Aliada, a biotechnology company advancing therapies using a novel blood-brain barrier (BBB)-crossing technology to address challenging central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Aliada's lead investigational asset utilizing this delivery technology, ALIA-1758, is an anti-pyroglutamate amyloid beta (3pE-Aβ) antibody in development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The acquisition also allows AbbVie to utilize Aliada's novel BBB-crossing technology to enhance discovery and development efforts across neuroscience.

•AbbVie and Gedeon Richter announced a new discovery, co-development and license agreement to advance novel targets for the potential treatment of neuropsychiatric conditions. This collaboration expands upon the success of nearly two decades of partnership on CNS projects.

•AbbVie announced the European Commission (EC) approved Skyrizi (risankizumab) for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have had an inadequate response, lost response, or were intolerant to conventional or biologic therapy. The approval was supported by data from two pivotal Phase 3 trials in which Skyrizi achieved the primary endpoint of clinical remission as well as key secondary endpoints. This marketing authorization for Skyrizi marks its fourth approved indication in the European Union (EU). Skyrizi is part of a collaboration between Boehringer Ingelheim and AbbVie, with AbbVie leading development and commercialization globally.

•At the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology (EADV) Congress 2024, AbbVie shared more than 30 presentations that showcased the depth and strength of AbbVie's dermatology portfolio. Presentations highlighted data for Rinvoq (upadacitinib), Skyrizi and lutikizumab across a multitude of dermatological conditions.

•AbbVie announced that the EC granted conditional marketing authorization for Tepkinly (epcoritamab) as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL) after two or more lines of prior therapy. Tepkinly is the first subcutaneous bispecific antibody conditionally approved as a monotherapy in the EU to treat both r/r FL and r/r diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), after two or more lines of prior therapy. The EC approval is supported by data from the Phase 1/2 EPCORE NHL-1 clinical trial, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of Tepkinly in adult patients with r/r FL. Tepkinly is being co-developed by AbbVie and Genmab.

Recent Events (Continued)

•AbbVie announced the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion recommending the marketing authorization of Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine) for the treatment of adult patients with folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive, platinum-resistant and high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three prior treatment regimens. The CHMP's opinion is supported by results of the Phase 3 MIRASOL clinical trial and the EC decision on this indication for Elahere is anticipated later this year.

•AbbVie announced submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for accelerated approval (AA) of Teliso-V (telisotuzumab vedotin) in adult patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type, nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with c-Met protein overexpression. The BLA is supported by data from the Phase 2 LUMINOSITY clinical trial and review of the BLA will be conducted under FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence (OCE) Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR) program. There are currently no approved anti-cancer therapies specifically for c-Met overexpressing NSCLC and if approved, Teliso-V would be the first-in-class therapy for this patient population.

•At the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024, AbbVie showcased new data from its innovative antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) platform in tumor types with high unmet needs. Highlights included full data from the primary analysis of the positive, single-arm Phase 2 PICCOLO trial, evaluating Elahere for high FRα expressing platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC); patient reported outcomes from the Phase 2 LUMINOSITY trial, evaluating Teliso-V in advanced NSCLC; as well as new safety and efficacy data in pre-treated patients with advanced NSCLC and gastroesophageal (GEA) cancer, from a Phase 1 study of ABBV-400 (telisotuzumab adizutecan).

•Allergan Aesthetics announced the FDA approved Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) for temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe vertical bands connecting the jaw and neck (platysma bands) in adults. Botox Cosmetic is the first product with four aesthetic indication areas: forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet lines, and now platysma bands, making it the first product of its kind to go beyond the face.

•Allergan Aesthetics announced the launch of Botox Cosmetic for the treatment of masseter muscle prominence (MMP) in China. The approval is supported by Botox Cosmetic’s well-established safety profile as well as clinical trial data that demonstrated Botox Cosmetic is effective in reducing the prominence of the masseter muscle. Botox Cosmetic is the first neurotoxin approved in China for MMP, the largest global MMP market. Allergan Aesthetics intends to develop Botox Cosmetic treatment for MMP in additional global markets and expand the use of Botox Cosmetic in the lower face.

•At the American Society for Dermal Surgery (ASDS), Allergan Aesthetics presented a total of 12 abstracts that showcased its commitment to patient outcomes and detailed insights and understanding of key concerns across differentiated patient segments. Highlights included four Best of Cosmetic Abstracts as well as a panel discussion on the impact of social media on patient experience and expectations when considering aesthetic treatment.

Full-Year 2024 Outlook

AbbVie is raising its adjusted diluted EPS guidance for the full year 2024 from $10.67 - $10.87 to $10.90 - $10.94, which includes an unfavorable impact of $0.64 per share related to acquired IPR&D and milestones expense incurred year-to-date through the third quarter 2024. The company's 2024 adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes any impact from acquired IPR&D and milestones that may be incurred beyond the third quarter of 2024, as both cannot be reliably forecasted. Any potential IPR&D and milestones expense related to the recently announced acquisition of Aliada Therapeutics is also excluded from AbbVie’s 2024 adjusted diluted EPS guidance, as the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Company Declares Dividend Increase of 5.8 Percent
AbbVie is announcing today that its board of directors declared an increase in the company's quarterly cash dividend from $1.55 per share to $1.64 per share beginning with the dividend payable on February 14, 2025 to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2025. This reflects an increase of approximately 5.8 percent, continuing AbbVie's strong commitment to returning cash to shareholders through a growing dividend. Since the company's inception in 2013, AbbVie has increased its quarterly dividend by 310 percent. AbbVie is a member of the S&P Dividend Aristocrats Index, which tracks companies that have annually increased their dividend for at least 25 consecutive years.
