• The Biologics License Application for SC epcoritamab for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory LBCL after two or more lines of systemic therapy was accepted for Priority Review by the U.S. FDA with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act target action date of May 21, 2023.
• The Marketing Authorization Application for epcoritamab for the treatment of patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma after two or more lines of systemic therapy was validated by the European Medicines Agency.
• 2022 was the first full year of Tivdak® (tisotumab vedotin-tftv), in co-development with Seagen Inc., available for certain cervical cancer patients in the U.S.
• We continued the development of our commercialization capabilities and broader organizational infrastructure.
• We expanded our global strategic collaboration with BioNTech SE, including investigational medicine HexaBody®-CD27 (GEN1053/BNT313).

Financial Performance

• Net sales of DARZALEX® by Janssen were USD 7,977 million in 2022 compared to USD 6,023 million in 2021, an increase of USD 1,954 million, or 32%.
• Royalty revenue was DKK 11,672 million in 2022 compared to DKK 6,977 million in 2021, an increase of DKK 4,695 million, or 67%. The increase in royalties was driven by higher net sales of DARZALEX, Kesimpta® and TEPEZZA® and higher average exchange rate between the USD and DKK.
• Revenue was DKK 14,595 million in 2022 compared to DKK 8,482 million in 2021. The increase of DKK 6,113 million, or 72%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our collaborations with Janssen and Novartis, respectively, due to higher net sales and higher average exchange rate between the USD and DKK, and milestones achieved in 2022 under our collaboration with AbbVie.
• Operating expenses were DKK 8,238 million in 2022 compared to DKK 5,464 million in 2021. The increase of DKK 2,774 million, or 51%, was driven by the continued advancement of epcoritamab and multiple pipeline projects, an increase in team members to support Tivdak post launch and expansion of our product pipeline, and the continued development of Genmab’s commercialization and broader organizational capabilities and infrastructure.
• Operating profit was DKK 6,357 million in 2022 compared to DKK 3,018 million in 2021.
  
  

2023 OUTLOOK

*Operating profit does not sum due to rounding

Revenue
Genmab expects its 2023 revenue to be in the range of DKK 14,600 – 16,100 million, compared to DKK 14,595 million in 2022. Our revenue in 2022 was driven primarily by DARZALEX royalties due to the continued strong growth of DARZALEX net sales, favorable exchange rate movements between the USD and DKK and the positive impact of applying the DARZALEX contractual annual Currency Hedge Rate.

Genmab’s projected revenue growth for 2023 is driven by recurring revenues related to DARZALEX, TEPEZZA and Kesimpta royalties from net sales growth, partly offset by negative exchange rate movements between the USD and DKK due to a lower assumed USD/DKK exchange rate.

Genmab’s projected revenue for 2023 primarily consists of DARZALEX royalties of DKK 10,400 – 11,100 million. Such royalties are based on estimated DARZALEX 2023 net sales of USD 9.4 – 10.0 billion compared to actual net sales in 2022 of approximately USD 8.0 billion. DARZALEX royalties are partly offset by Genmab’s share of Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Halozyme) in connection with SC net sales. The remainder of Genmab’s revenue consists of increasing royalties from TEPEZZA, Kesimpta, RYBREVANT and TECVAYLI, reimbursement revenue, milestones including those for epcoritamab and collaboration revenue with Seagen for Tivdak.

Operating Expenses
Genmab anticipates its 2023 operating expenses to be in the range of DKK 9,800 – 10,600 million, compared to DKK 8,238 million in 2022. The growth in operating expenses is to support Genmab’s continued portfolio advancement and investing for future product launches, including epcoritamab.

Operating Profit
Genmab expects our operating profit to be in the range of DKK 3,900 – 6,200 million in 2023, compared to DKK 6,357 million in 2022.
