2025 ACHIEVEMENTS
Business Progress
- EPKINLY (epcoritamab-bysp) moves into earlier lines of therapy in follicular lymphoma (FL) with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide (R2), based on Phase 3 EPCORE FL-1.
- Epcoritamab Phase 3 EPCORE FL-1 trial met dual primary endpoints of overall response rate (ORR) and progression free survival (PFS), demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful differences in both endpoints, basis for global regulatory submissions.
- Acquisition of Merus N.V. (Merus), including its late-stage breakthrough therapy asset petosemtamab, which provides additional transformational opportunity.
- Tivdak (tisotumab vedotin) approved in Europe and Japan for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer, first independent Genmab launches, laying groundwork for the future.
- Rina-S expands Phase 3 development beyond platinum resistant ovarian cancer (PROC), into endometrial cancer and platinum sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC).
- Rina-S granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) by the FDA.
- Approvals in the US and Europe for J&J therapy, subcutaneous DARZALEX (daratumumab and hyaluronidase fihj) in smoldering multiple myeloma
- Submission of Biologics License Application (BLA) for Novo Nordisk's DuoBody-based denecimig.
- Continued development of Genmab's broader organizational infrastructure with the addition of over 300 new colleagues.
Financial Performance
- Net sales of DARZALEX by J&J were $14,351 million in 2025 compared to $11,670 million in 2024. The increase of $2,681 million, or 23%, was driven by share gains in all regions.
- Global net sales of EPKINLY/TEPKINLY were $468 million in 2025 compared to $281 million in 2024. The increase of $187 million or 67% was driven by strong growth in third line plus (3L+) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and the expansion to address a second indication, 3L+ FL. Net product sales in the U.S. and Japan by Genmab were $379 million in 2025 compared to $253 million in 2024.
- Royalty revenue amounted to $3,102 million in 2025 compared to $2,517 million in 2024. The increase of $585 million, or 23%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta (ofatumumab) royalties achieved under our daratumumab collaboration with J&J and ofatumumab collaboration with Novartis, respectively.
- Genmab's revenue was $3,720 million in 2025 compared to $3,121 million in 2024. The increase of $599 million, or 19%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our collaborations with J&J and Novartis, respectively, and increased EPKINLY net product sales. This increase was partly offset by reduced reimbursement revenue associated with Genmab assuming full control of the development of the acasunlimab program, effective in the second half of 2024.
- Genmab's operating expenses, excluding acquisition-related expenses including amortization, were $2,219 million, compared to $1,956 million in 2024. In addition to the Merus acquisition, this increase was driven by strategic investments in the development of our key late-stage programs and commercialization capabilities.
- Operating profit excluding acquisition-related expenses including amortization, was $1,263 million in 2025 compared to $1,022 million in 2024.

1. Net product sales and collaboration revenue consists of EPKINLY net product sales in the US and Japan, and Tivdak ex-US net product sales plus Genmab's share of US gross profits.
2. Operating expenses and operating profit exclude 2026 and 2025 charges related to: 1) acquisition and integration-related charges of $65 million and $185 million, respectively, and 2) amortization of intangible assets acquired through acquisitions of $45 million and $13 million, respectively.
Revenue
Genmab expects its 2026 revenue to be in the range of $4.1 - 4.4 billion, compared to $3.7 billion in 2025.
Genmab's projected revenue growth for 2026 is driven by higher royalties, net product sales and collaboration revenue. Royalty growth relates mainly to DARZALEX and Kesimpta net sales growth. Net product sales and collaboration revenue growth is driven by strong performance for both EPKINLY and Tivdak. Net product sales and collaboration revenue consists of EPKINLY net product sales in the US and Japan, and Tivdak ex-US net product sales plus Genmab's share of US gross profits.
Genmab's projected revenue for 2026 primarily consists of DARZALEX royalties of approximately $2.7 billion at the midpoint. Such royalties are based on estimated DARZALEX 2026 net sales of $15.6 - 16.4 billion compared to actual net sales in 2025 of $14.3 billion. DARZALEX royalties are partly offset by Genmab's share of J&J's royalty payments to Halozyme Therapeutics, Inc. (Halozyme) in connection with SC net sales as well as royalty reduction in countries and territories where there is no Genmab patent coverage.
The remainder of Genmab's revenue consists primarily of royalties from Kesimpta, TEPEZZA, RYBREVANT, TECVAYLI, TALVEY and TEPKINLY, net product sales and collaboration revenue from EPKINLY and Tivdak, reimbursement revenue and milestones.
Operating Expenses
Genmab anticipates its 2026 operating expenses to be in the range of $2.7 - 2.9 billion, compared to $2.2 billion in 2025. The increase in operating expenses is primarily related to investments in late-stage programs and launch readiness in key markets.
Operating Profit
Genmab expects its 2026 operating profit to be in the range of $0.9 - 1.4 billion, compared to $1.3 billion in 2025.
