1)Comparative figures have been aligned to the presentation adopted in the current year.
“Acquired R&D available for use” and “Acquired In-Process R&D” is mainly related to the in-licensing of the
ENHANZE® drug delivery technology from Halozyme. In line with its accounting policies, the Company has capitalized
the upfront payment upon commencement of the in-license agreement. In June 2023, the Company obtained the FDA
approval for VYVGART HYTRULO. During the year ended December 31, 2023, upon obtaining regulatory approval,
$53 million has been moved from “Acquired In-Process R&D” to “Acquired R&D available for use”.
In 2024, the Company extended its collaboration with Halozyme and nominated four new targets to be in-licensed to the
ENHANZE® drug delivery technology. The cost of the license was capitalized as
“Acquired In-Process R&D”.
Further, the additions in 2025 to “Acquired R&D available for use” are mainly related to sales-based milestones in the
context of the Halozyme agreement. The “Acquired R&D available for use” are amortized under “Cost of sales” on a
straight-line basis over their useful life. The Company performs an annual impairment review on the intangible assets.
This review did not result in the recognition of an impairment charge for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and
2023.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company utilized the PRV submitted with the sBLA filing for VYVGART HYTRULO
for the treatment of CIDP, which resulted in the amortization of $102 million of intangible assets which is recognized
under “Research and development expenses” within the consolidated statements of profit or loss and the consolidated
statements of other comprehensive income or loss and subsequent derecognition of $102 million of intangibles included
under “Other intangibles” on the consolidated statements of financial position.
The Company continually assesses the useful life of intangible assets based on the shorter of its expected useful life and
legal life. Currently, intangible assets are amortized over a range of three to more than fifteen years.
As of December 31, 2025, there are no material commitments to acquire intangible assets, except as set forth in
“Note 27 — Commitments”. No intangible assets are pledged as security for liabilities nor are there any intangible assets
whose title is restricted.
