Key performance elements for H1 2026

(Growth numbers at constant exchange rates)

●	Total Revenue up 6%, with double-digit growth in Oncology and Rare Disease offsetting headwinds from Farxiga US loss of exclusivity and China volume-based procurement

●	Core Operating profit and Core EPS increased 11%

●	Interim dividend increased 3 cents to $1.06 per share (79.5 pence, 10.32 SEK)

●	30 approvals in major regions since Q4 2025 results

Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca, said:

“In the first half we saw strong performance and continued pipeline delivery, including six key positive Phase III programmes and eight first approvals in major markets, including in the US for Baxfendy, our first-in-class medicine for hypertension.

While we are disappointed by the CARDIO-TTRansform outcome, we are on track to deliver our $80bn Total Revenue ambition, which assumes successes and setbacks. We remain confident in the strength of our pipeline and have more than twenty high-value readouts due over the next 18 months.

We continue to invest at pace in our transformative technologies, and in our commercial execution to bring our innovative medicines to patients around the globe and drive growth beyond 2030.”

Guidance

AstraZeneca reconfirms Total Revenue and Core EPS guidance³ for FY 2026 at CER, based on the average foreign exchange rates through 2025.

Total Revenue is expected to increase by a mid-to-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 July 2026 to December 2026 were to remain at the average rates seen in June 2026, it is anticipated that Total Revenue in FY 2026 would benefit from a low single-digit percentage positive impact (unchanged) compared to the performance at CER, and Core EPS growth would be broadly similar (unchanged) to the growth at CER.

Corporate and business development

Dizal Pharmaceutical Co

In July 2026, AstraZeneca entered into an exclusive license agreement with Dizal Pharmaceutical Co (Dizal), Ltd for Zegfrovy (sunvozertinib), a novel oral irreversible EGFR inhibitor for patients with lung cancer.

AstraZeneca will acquire worldwide rights to develop and commercialise Zegfrovy, which is approved in the US and China for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations, whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy.

AstraZeneca will make an upfront payment to Dizal of $600m and additional payments of up to $900m upon achievement of specific development, regulatory and sales-related milestones. Additionally, Dizal will receive tiered royalties on the global sales of Zegfrovy. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory clearances.

Sino Biopharmaceutical

In July 2026, AstraZeneca and Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (CTTQ), a subsidiary of Sino Biopharmaceutical Limited, entered into an exclusive licence agreement for the development, manufacturing and commercialisation of CTTQ’s PDE3/4 inhibitor, TQC3721, which is being developed for respiratory indications.

Sino Biopharmaceutical Limited is eligible to receive an upfront payment of $200m, with additional development, regulatory and sales milestones up to $1.9bn, as well as tiered royalties ranging up to double-digit percentages based on the annual net sales of TQC3721 products.

The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory clearances.

Sustainability highlights

In July 2026, AstraZeneca hosted a call for investors to discuss the latest developments in its Sustainability strategy. A replay of the call is available on astrazeneca.com.

Reporting calendar

The Company intends to publish its 9M and Q3 2026 results on 30 October 2026.

Conference call

A conference call and webcast for investors and analysts will begin today, 27 July 2026, at 11:45 UK time. Details can be accessed via astrazeneca.com.

Notes

Constant exchange rates. The differences between Actual Change and CER Change are due to foreign exchange movements between periods in 2026 vs. 2025. 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.

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 10 and 11 in the Financial Performance section of this document.

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.

4.	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

AstraZeneca received several prestigious recognitions for its sustainability leadership in the quarter. TIME Magazine named AstraZeneca one of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies for the third consecutive year, ranking it as the third most sustainable pharmaceutical company, and the Financial Times featured AstraZeneca in its 2026 Europe’s Climate Leaders list for the sixth consecutive year, ranking it as the top pharmaceutical company for climate action. AstraZeneca also ranked in Gartner’s Supply Chain Top 25, which includes ESG criteria, for the fourth consecutive year and as the highest-ranked pharmaceutical company for the second year running.

At the 79th World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva, Switzerland, the AstraZeneca delegation led by Chair Michel Demaré and EVP International, Iskra Reic, engaged more than 100 stakeholders, including over 30 government officials, to advance action related to health equity and health systems resilience. The delegation participated in over 10 government and partner-co-hosted events, including a flagship Lung Health event; a panel on implementing the WHO’s 2025 Rare Disease resolution; a roundtable on rare disease in Asia; and a roundtable on Chronic Kidney Diseases.

Climate and nature

The Company achieved milestones related to clean heat:

–	In March, AstraZeneca launched a supplier decarbonisation programme with Secaro and ERM to support clean heat adoption across its supplier network, which was profiled in Forbes.

–	In April, the renewable natural gas (RNG) facility supplying AstraZeneca’s US R&D and manufacturing sites was formally commissioned, with Virginia state leaders in attendance.

–	In June, a partnership to supply renewable liquified natural gas (RLNG) to the Company’s Puerto Rico site was announced.

The Company achieved gold status in the Government of Canada’s Environment and Climate Change Net-Zero Challenge, becoming the first pharmaceutical company in Canada to reach this tier.

In the UK, AstraZeneca was named Green Business of the Year by the British Business Awards and also received the 2026 Society for Chemical Industry (SCI) Sustainability Award for reducing solvent use, in recognition of the Company’s setting a new benchmark in environmental stewardship in pre-clinical chemistry.

Health equity

AstraZeneca advanced its focus on health equity in science through two strategic genomics partnerships which provide access to large-scale datasets representing more than 520,000 participants globally, including from underserved communities.

In the US, the Company delivered its first clinical trial awareness event for underserved areas in Baltimore. AstraZeneca’s global clinical trial website was made available in Portuguese and Vietnamese, in alignment with Company’s Health equity priority countries.

In May 2026, Healthy Heart Africa (HHA) formalised its first Memorandum of Understanding with Morocco’s Ministry of Health, marking a strategic partnership with PATH to expand into Morocco.

Through the Young Health Programme (YHP), AstraZeneca continued to strengthen community impact, expanding work with NGO partners to advance NCD prevention and health equity for young people. This included partnerships in Colombia, Costa Rica, Estonia, Kenya, Malaysia and Spain. The programme received external recognition in Vietnam with a Certificate of Merit by the Ministry of Education & Training.

By July, AstraZeneca’s Cancer Care Africa (CCA) initiative had supported cancer screening for over 328,000 patients and trained over 28,000 oncology healthcare professionals, since 2024. Key CCA achievements during the first half of 2026 include an international multidisciplinary team (MDT) collaboration to reduce variability in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) care across Ministry of Health (MoH) centres in Egypt and expansion of local diagnostic capacity in Kenya to now include BRCA testing.

Health systems resilience

Following the publication of the Canada roadmap in March, the Partnership for Health System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR) launched new country policy roadmaps on acting early on NCDs for France, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Japan. AstraZeneca supported through input on evidence-based, country-specific policy recommendations and activation of key stakeholders during launch.

In Germany, the PHSSR roadmap on early action for NCDs underscored the importance of ensuring broad access to innovative medicines in the context of ongoing health reforms, covered in the Tagesspiegel Background.

AstraZeneca announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Northern Ireland’s Department of Health, Department for the Economy and the Health Innovation Research Alliance Northern Ireland (HIRANI), to facilitate earlier, community-based intervention to improve patient outcomes and address health inequalities.

Profit and Loss drivers

Gross profit

The movement in Gross Margin in H1 2026 was a result of:

–	Positive effects from geographic mix

–

The changing mix of Product Sales with profit sharing arrangements (Lynparza, Enhertu, Datroway, Tezspire, plus Koselugo in the prior year period) reduces 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 to medicines that have reached the end of their exclusivity periods, and implementation of the US government agreement announced in 2025

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 increase in R&D expense (Reported and Core) in the period was driven by:

–	Positive data readouts 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

–	The change in Reported R&D expense also reflects impairment charges of $345m recorded against intangible assets in Q2 2026

SG&A expense

–	The increase in SG&A expense (Reported and Core) in the period was driven primarily by ongoing and future launches and to support continued growth in existing brands

Other operating income and expense

–	Increased royalty income and small regional divestitures

Table of Contents

Net finance expense

Core Net finance expense increased 20% (15% at CER) in H1 2026, principally due to the prior year benefitting from adjustments relating to settlements with tax authorities.

Taxation

The effective Reported and Core tax rates for the six months to 30 June 2026 were 17% and 18% respectively (H1 2025: both 18%). The cash tax paid for the six months ended 30 June 2026 was $2,051m (H1 2025: $1,549m), representing 31% of Reported Profit before tax (H1 2025: 24%).

Net (decrease)/increase in cash and cash equivalents in the period		(805)		1,549		(2,354)

Net cash flow

The decrease in Net cash inflow from operating activities of $875m is primarily driven by Movement in working capital and short-term provisions, higher taxation paid and foreign exchange fluctuations, offset by increased Operating profit.

The increase in Net cash outflow from investing activities of $1,343m is primarily driven by increased Purchase of intangible assets, $1,104m of which was an upfront payment to CSPC Pharmaceuticals.

The change in Net cash outflow from financing activities of $136m is primarily driven by the issue of new long-term loans of $1,990m and the repayment of long-term loans of $2,450m in H1 2026, with no issuance and repayment of long-term loans in H1 2025.

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure on Property, plant and equipment and software-related intangible assets amounted to $1,513m in H1 2026 (H1 2025: $1,303m). The increase of capital expenditure in H1 2026 was driven by investment in several major manufacturing projects and continued investment in technology upgrades.

Net debt

Net debt increased by $3,538m in the six months to 30 June 2026 to $26,912m. 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.

Each series of AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes has been fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AstraZeneca PLC. 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. Each guarantee by AstraZeneca PLC is effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of AstraZeneca PLC to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of the subsidiaries of AstraZeneca PLC, none of which guarantee the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes.

AstraZeneca PLC manages substantially all of its operations through divisions, branches and/or investments in subsidiaries and affiliates. Accordingly, the ability of AstraZeneca PLC to service its debt and guarantee obligations is also dependent upon the earnings of its subsidiaries, affiliates, branches and divisions, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or otherwise. Please refer to the Consolidated financial statements of AstraZeneca PLC in our Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the SEC and information contained herein for further financial information regarding AstraZeneca PLC and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Capital allocation

The Group’s capital allocation priorities include: investing in the business and pipeline; maintaining a strong, investment-grade credit rating; pursuing 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 2026, the Company intends to increase the annual dividend declared to $3.30 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 2025, capital expenditure on Property, plant and equipment and Software-related intangible assets amounted to $3,270m. In FY 2026 the Group expects to increase expenditure on Property, plant and equipment and Software-related intangible assets by approximately a third 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 and loss or to Other comprehensive income if the contract is in a designated cash flow hedge.

In addition, the Company’s external dividend payments paid in pound sterling and Swedish krona, are fully hedged from the time of their announcement to the payment date.

Independent review report to AstraZeneca PLC

Report on the Interim H1 financial statements

Conclusion

We have been engaged by AstraZeneca PLC (“the Company”) to review the condensed set of consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (“Interim H1 Financial statements”), included in the H1 and Q2 2026 results of AstraZeneca PLC, which comprises the:

–	Condensed consolidated statement of financial position

–	Condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income

–	Condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity,

–	Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, and

–	the related explanatory notes

For the avoidance of doubt, our review does not cover the Q2 information for the period 1 April to 30 June 2026 in Tables 18 and 24, nor does it cover the CER information for the six months ended 30 June 2026 included in Table 23.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim H1 Financial statements in the H1 and Q2 2026 results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IAS 34 as adopted for use in the UK, IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (“the DTR”) of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (“the UK FCA”).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“ISRE (UK) 2410”) issued for use in the UK. A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. We read the other information contained in the H1 and Q2 2026 results and consider whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of consolidated financial statements.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting, or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that have not been appropriately disclosed.

This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern, and the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the Group will continue in operation.

Directors’ responsibilities

The H1 and Q2 2026 results, including the Interim H1 Financial Statements is the responsibility of, and have been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the H1 and Q2 2026 results, including the Interim H1 Financial Statements in accordance with the DTR of the UK FCA.

As disclosed in Note 1, the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, and also comply with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and International Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Table of Contents

The directors are responsible for preparing the Interim H1 Financial Statements included in H1 and Q2 2026 results in accordance with IAS 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IAS 34 as adopted for use in the UK, and IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union.

In preparing the condensed set of consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibility

Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the Interim H1 Financial Statements in the H1 and Q2 2026 results based on our review. Our conclusion, including our conclusions relating to going concern, are based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report.

The purpose of our review work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the Company in accordance with the terms of our engagement to assist the Company in meeting the requirements of the DTR of the UK FCA. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company those matters we are required to state to it in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have reached.

Notes to the Interim financial statements

Note 1: Basis of preparation and accounting policies

These unaudited Interim financial statements for H1 and Q2 ended 30 June 2026 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 H1 and Q2 ended 30 June 2026 were approved by the Board of Directors for publication on 27 July 2026.

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 2025 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 2025.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 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 (i) was 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.

Going concern

The Group has considerable financial resources available. As at 30 June 2026, the Group has $9.8bn in financial resources (cash and cash equivalent balances of $4.9bn and undrawn committed bank facilities of $4.9bn that are available until April 2031), with $6.2bn of borrowings due within one year. These facilities contain no financial covenants.

The Group has assessed the prospects of the Group over a period of at least 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 2025.

Note 2: Intangible assets

On 14 April 2026, the previously announced strategic collaboration and license agreement with CSPC Pharmaceuticals closed. Under this agreement, the companies will initially progress four programmes, which utilise CSPC Pharmaceuticals' advanced AI-driven peptide drug discovery platform and their proprietary LiquidGel once-monthly dosing platform technology. AstraZeneca paid an upfront payment of $1.2bn, of which $1.1bn was capitalised within intangible assets in Q2 2026. Contingent consideration of up to $3.5bn could be paid on achievement of regulatory milestones; these potential liabilities would be recorded when the relevant recognition event for a regulatory milestone is achieved. Further contingent sales milestones, as well as tiered royalties, could be payable and would be recognised when the associated milestones are triggered.

During Q2, impairment charges recorded against products in development totalled $345m recorded within R&D expense.

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 2025. Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Net debt increased by $3,538m in the six months to 30 June 2026 to $26,912m, which includes the issue of new long-term loans of $1,990m and the repayment of long-term loans of $2,450m in H1 2026. 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 June 2026 was $368m (31 December 2025: $473m) and the carrying value of such cash collateral posted by the Group at 30 June 2026 was $70m (31 December 2025: $22m).

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 above.

During the six months ended 30 June 2026, there have been no changes to the Group’s solicited credit ratings. Moody’s credit ratings were long term: A1; short term: P-1. Standard and Poor’s credit ratings were 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 $442m (31 December 2025: $458m) and for which a fair value loss of $9m has been recognised in the six months ended 30 June 2026 (H1 2025: $35m). 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 six months ended 30 June 2026, are Level 1 fair value measurements, valued based on quoted prices in active markets.

Financial instruments measured at fair value include $2,624m of other investments, $3,427m held in money-market funds and $359m of derivatives as at 30 June 2026. With the exception of derivatives being Level 2 fair valued, and certain equity instruments of $442m

Table of Contents

categorised as Level 3, the aforementioned balances are Level 1 fair valued. Financial instruments measured at amortised cost include $70m of cash collateral pledged to counterparties. The total fair value of Interest-bearing loans and borrowings as at 30 June 2026, which have a carrying value of $31,333m in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position, was $30,630m.

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 final contingent consideration payment of $257m relating to BMS's share of the global diabetes alliance was made in Q1 2026.

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 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 second quarter of 2026 and up to and including 26 July 2026


Patent litigation
Legal proceedings brought against AstraZeneca
Forxiga patent proceedings, Europe Considered to be a contingent liability	● In France, Biogaran SAS has challenged the validity of one of AstraZeneca's patents covering Forxiga. Trial is scheduled for June 2027. ● In Portugal, multiple generic companies have challenged the validity of one of AstraZeneca's patents covering Forxiga. One patent validity trial concluded in July 2026. The court has reserved judgment. ● In February 2026, the Polish Patent Office invalidated one of AstraZeneca's patents covering Forxiga. AstraZeneca is appealing that decision.
Tagrisso patent proceedings, US Considered to be a contingent liability	● In September 2021, Puma Biotechnology, Inc. (Puma) and Wyeth LLC (Wyeth) filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the US District Court for the District of Delaware (District Court) against AstraZeneca relating to Tagrisso. In March 2024, the District Court dismissed Puma. ● The jury trial, with Wyeth as the plaintiff, took place in May 2024. The jury found Wyeth’s patents infringed and awarded Wyeth $107.5m in past damages. The jury also found that the infringement was not wilful. ● In proceedings following the jury award, the District Court rejected AstraZeneca’s indefiniteness and equitable defences but granted judgment as a matter of law in favour of AstraZeneca on the grounds that the patents were invalid for lack of written description and enablement. ● In July 2026, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the District Court’s decision that the patents were invalid.

The suit against the MOH was dismissed in July 2024, after two appeals. The case against Axelpharm was dismissed in September 2024, and a subsequent appeal by AstraZeneca was also dismissed. ● 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. At a further appeal hearing in November 2025, the Intellectual Property Court Presidium reversed earlier decisions and held Axelpharm’s patent valid. The Supreme Court rejected appeals by AstraZeneca and the PTO against this decision in February 2026. AstraZeneca filed a new invalidity claim against Axelpharm’s patent in May 2026. ● In July 2024, AstraZeneca filed a patent infringement claim against Axelpharm in relation to a generic version of Tagrisso.

In November 2024, the FAS found Axelpharm (but not OncoTarget) to have committed unfair competition. In June 2025, the finding against Axelpharm was reversed on appeal. In December 2025, on appeal by AstraZeneca, the appellate decision was affirmed. AstraZeneca filed a further appeal, and in April 2026, the Intellectual Property Court restored the FAS’s finding of unfair competition and prohibited Axelpharm from selling the generic drug.

Patent litigation

Legal proceedings brought against AstraZeneca

Enhertu patent proceedings, US

Matter concluded

●

In October 2020, Seagen Inc. (Seagen) filed a complaint against Daiichi Sankyo Company, Limited (Daiichi Sankyo) in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (District Court) alleging that Enhertu infringes a Seagen patent. AstraZeneca co-commercialises Enhertu with Daiichi Sankyo in the US. After trial in April 2022, the jury found that the patent was infringed and awarded Seagen $41.82m in past damages. In July 2022, the District Court entered final judgment and declined to enhance damages on the basis of wilfulness. In October 2023, the District Court entered an amended final judgment that requires Daiichi Sankyo to pay Seagen a royalty of 8% on US sales of Enhertu from 1 April 2022 through to 4 November 2024, in addition to the past damages previously awarded by the District Court. AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo appealed the District Court’s decision.

●

In December 2020 and January 2021, AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo filed post-grant review (PGR) petitions with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) alleging, among other things, that the Seagen patent is invalid for lack of written description and enablement. The USPTO initially declined to institute the PGRs, but, in April 2022, the USPTO granted the rehearing requests and instituted both PGR petitions. Seagen subsequently disclaimed all patent claims at issue in one of the PGR proceedings. In July 2022, the USPTO reversed its institution decision and declined to institute the other PGR petition. AstraZeneca and Daiichi Sankyo requested reconsideration of the decision not to institute review of the patent. In February 2023, the USPTO reinstituted the PGR proceeding. In February 2024, the USPTO issued a decision that the claims were unpatentable. Seagen appealed this decision; the USPTO intervened in the appeal.

●

In December 2025, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued decisions in both the District Court and PGR appeals finding that Seagen's patent is invalid and vacating the District Court’s prior infringement judgment and damages award. The deadline for filing an appeal has expired.

●

This matter has concluded.

●

In response to these Paragraph IV notices, AstraZeneca, MSD International Business GmbH, and the University of Sheffield initiated ANDA litigations against Natco, Sandoz, Cipla, and Zydus in the US District Court for the District of New Jersey.

●

No trial date has been scheduled for trial with the remaining defendants.
