Chair’s Statement
Deirdre P. Connelly
Board Chair
Dear Shareholder,
As we close another successful year, we reflect
on our progress and growth. The past year
has been one of intentional transformation,
marked by a strengthening pipeline and
meaningful steps toward our long-term goals.
Genmab remains committed to its purpose:
to improve the lives of patients with cancer
and other serious diseases through innovative
and differentiated antibody therapeutics.
Genmab’s Evolution
Genmab is celebrating another transformational
year. With the acquisition of Merus, a clinical-
stage biotechnology company with late-stage
breakthrough asset petosemtamab, Genmab
has taken another important step — this
strategic move accelerates our transition to a
fully integrated biotech company. We continue to
strengthen our position as a global leader in
antibody therapeutics, driven by the strength
of our science and our unstoppable team.
Empowering Our People
In this exciting time of change, it is crucial
that Genmab maintains and grows our
team to create value for the years to come.
Our colleagues are the foundation of our
achievements and sustain our innovation.
This year, Genmab surpassed 3,000 employees
in eight countries, reflecting our commitment
to building a diverse, multicultural and high-
performing organization.
Experienced Leadership
In 2025 Genmab further strengthened
its Executive Management team with the
appointment of Greg Mueller as General Counsel
and Chief Legal Officer. Mr. Mueller will lead
global legal affairs, intellectual property rights,
corporate secretary and global compliance and
risk functions. Bringing more than 20 years of
experience, Greg joins a robust leadership team,
guiding Genmab through its next phase of growth
to a fully integrated biotech company.
Our Board of Directors, comprised of experts
in their fields, also saw a change this year.
Michael Kavanagh was elected to the Board
by fellow employees at Genmab’s 2025 Annual
General Meeting, linking the workforce and
Genmab’s governing body.
Looking Ahead
The year ahead will bring new opportunities
and challenges, but with our talented team,
strong leadership, and clear strategic vision,
we are well positioned to continue making
a meaningful difference.
On behalf of the Board, I thank Genmab’s
dedicated team members, Chief Executive
Officer Jan van de Winkel and the global
leadership team for their extraordinary
contributions, and our shareholders for
your continued support.
Sincerely,
Deirdre P. Connelly

Letter from the CEO
Jan van de Winkel
Ph.D. President & CEO
Dear Shareholder,
As we look back on 2025, I am proud of how
Genmab advanced our strategy, strengthened
our foundation, and stayed true to our purpose:
improving the lives of patients through
innovative, differentiated antibody medicines.
We entered the year focused on disciplined
execution and ended it poised for our next
decade of sustainable growth.
Acquisition of Merus
A pivotal step on that journey is our acquisition of
Merus. This transaction enhances our late-stage
portfolio with petosemtamab, a potential
first-in-class bispecific for head and neck cancer
with two BTDs from the FDA, reflecting its
potential to meaningfully improve outcomes
for patients.
Importantly, Merus strengthens, not changes,
our strategy as it accelerates our shift toward
a fully integrated, 100%-owned medicines
model. The addition of petosemtamab to
our pipeline diversifies our sources of future
revenue, reduces our dependence on royalties
over time, and enhances our flexibility to
invest in the “next winners” emerging from
our research and development (R&D) engine.
With petosemtamab joining EPKINLY
(epcoritamab) and Rina-S, we have a strong
pipeline of late-stage assets that will provide
us with multiple value-creating catalysts in the
coming years.
Transforming Science
Into Medicine
Our late-stage portfolio made meaningful strides
in 2025. EPKINLY continued to demonstrate
the potential to become a core therapy in B-cell
lymphomas with its FDA approval in second-line
FL in combination with R2, as well as the
unprecedented data in this indication, highlighted
during an oral presentation at the 2025
prestigious American Society of Hematology
(ASH) Annual Meeting. Together, these
milestones move treatment into earlier lines of
therapy and expand our impact for people living
with FL.
Our other commercialized medicine, Tivdak
(tisotumab vedotin), was approved in Europe
and Japan for recurrent or metastatic cervical
cancer after prior therapy, and these became
our first independent Genmab launches.
These launches, and the offices we have
now opened in Germany, the United Kingdom
(UK) and France, lay the groundwork for a
broader Genmab commercial footprint and
deepen our commitment to the gynecologic
oncology community.
We will further build on this commitment
with our advancement of Rina-S. In addition
to encouraging clinical data presented in both
PROC and endometrial cancer, the FDA granted
BTD for Rina-S in 2025, in recurrent or
progressive endometrial cancer. This support
from the FDA provides confidence for our
expanded development for Rina-S, as we
ended the year with three Phase 3 trials
across PROC, endometrial cancer and PSOC.

Letter from the CEO
A Strong Financial Foundation
To Enable Our Evolution
Our financial performance this year has been
a testament to the strength of our strategy.
Revenue grew significantly, driven by royalties
from our collaborations as well as sales of our
own medicines. We anticipate this trend will
continue into the future. We look forward to
both expanded indications for EPKINLY and
the potential for Rina-S and petosemtamab
to launch in 2027, as well as due to the
expansion of our royalty medicines. In 2025,
J&J’s subcutaneous (SC) DARZALEX
(daratumumab and hyaluronidase fihj) became
the first and only treatment approved in both
the US and Europe for patients with high-risk
smoldering multiple myeloma. The landmark
approvals support earlier intervention before the
disease progresses to active multiple myeloma.
Also this year Novo Nordisk A/S (Novo Nordisk)
submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA)
to the FDA for Mim8, also known as denecimig,
a DuoBody-based investigational prophylaxis
treatment for people living with hemophilia A
with or without inhibitors. If approved, denecimig
would become the ninth approved medicine
created using Genmab’s technology and
innovation.
Acknowledgments and Outlook
Looking ahead, our priorities are clear:
Integrate Merus to preserve momentum on
the petosemtamab program and prepare for
potential launch in 2027.
Accelerate the development of our late-stage
pipeline, delivering key clinical readouts
across our late-stage portfolio, especially
for epcoritamab and Rina-S, while preparing
for potential label expansions and launches.
Continue to deliver on our capital allocation
priorities, maintaining financial discipline
while focusing our investments on the
highest-growth opportunities.
With EPKINLY, Rina-S and petosemtamab,
we believe Genmab is positioned to deliver
multiple potential launches and label expansions
over the next several years, deepen our
leadership in antibody innovation, and create
durable, long-term value.
Our progress this year reflects the passion of our
people, the strength of our partnerships, and the
confidence of our shareholders. Looking ahead,
we are energized by the opportunities before us.
With a resilient financial foundation, a
world-class team, and a differentiated late-stage
pipeline, we believe Genmab is positioned to
deliver durable growth and, most importantly,
better futures for patients in the years ahead.
Sincerely yours,
Jan van de Winkel, Ph.D.

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.
Outlook: Risks and Assumptions
In addition to factors already mentioned, the
estimates above are subject to change due to
numerous reasons, including but not limited to: the
achievement of certain milestones associated with
Genmab’s collaboration agreements; the timing and
variation of development activities (including
activities carried out by Genmab’s collaboration
partners) and related income and costs;
DARZALEX, DARZALEX FASPRO, Kesimpta,
TEPEZZA, RYBREVANT, TECVAYLI, TALVEY and
TEPKINLY net sales and royalties paid to Genmab;
changing rates of inflation; and currency exchange
rates (the 2026 guidance assumes a USD/DKK
exchange rate of 6.2). The financial guidance
assumes that no significant new agreements are
entered into during 2026 that could materially affect
the results.
The factors discussed above, as well as other
factors that are currently unforeseeable, may result
in further material adverse impacts on Genmab’s
business and financial performance, including
unfavorable impacts on the sales of Tivdak and
EPKINLY/TEPKINLY, and on the net sales of
DARZALEX, Kesimpta, TEPEZZA, RYBREVANT,
TECVAYLI, and TALVEY by Genmab’s collaboration
partners and on Genmab’s royalties, collaboration
revenue and milestone revenue therefrom.

Research and Development Capabilities
Inspired by Nature
At Genmab, we are inspired by nature and understand
how antibodies work. We are deeply knowledgeable about
antibody biology and our scientists harness this expertise to
create and develop differentiated investigational antibody
medicines. We utilize a sophisticated and highly automated
process to efficiently generate, select, produce, and evaluate
antibody-based products. Our teams have established a fully
integrated R&D enterprise and streamlined process to
coordinate the activities of antibody product discovery,
preclinical testing, manufacturing, clinical trial design and
execution, and regulatory submissions across Genmab’s
international operations. We have expanded our scientific focus
to use data science and AI to aid in the discovery of new targets
and biomarkers and bolster our in-depth precision medicine and
translational laboratory capabilities. Through our expertise in
antibody drug development, we pioneer technologies that allow
us to create differentiated and potentially first-in-class or best-
in-class investigational medicines with the potential to improve
patients’ lives. Our antibody expertise has enabled us to create
our cutting-edge technology platforms: DuoBody, HexaBody,
DuoHexaBody® and HexElect®. With our acquisition of
ProfoundBio we gained novel ADC technology platforms.
We gained additional proprietary technology platforms as part of
our acquisition of Merus. Additional information about our
technologies is available on Genmab’s website, genmab.com/
antibody-science/antibody-technology-platforms.

our growing pipeline and commercial ambitions, we
are taking control of processes, prioritization,
people, and timing and taking another tremendous
step toward becoming an end-to-end biotech
innovation powerhouse.
United States
Genmab opened a new US facility in 2020, which
was subsequently expanded in 2025. This space,
modeled on the open and collaborative spirit of the
R&D labs and offices in Utrecht, includes both
offices and laboratories. The U.S. translational and
quantitative laboratories allow Genmab to expand
our preclinical and clinical drug development
expertise and are part of the strategic growth of the
Company. As with our Utrecht facilities, our U.S.
office and laboratories were designed and built with
sustainability in mind and meet the requirements for
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) Gold certification for sustainable design
features.
Japan
Genmab’s Japan office is located in Roppongi,
an international business district in the center
of Tokyo. It offers an open and collaborative
environment that fosters Genmab’s culture
of innovation and teamwork.
China
As part of our acquisition of ProfoundBio,
Genmab expanded our presence with
state-of-the-art ADC research and CMC
capabilities in Suzhou, China.
Europe
In 2025 and 2026 we opened Market offices
in Munich, Germany, London, UK and
Paris, France.
As Genmab continues to grow our
geographical footprint, we will endeavor to
do so with minimal impact to the environment
and with a focus on sustainable practices.
Expanding the Reach of Our Medicines
A fully integrated biotech
delivering for patients
around the world
This year, we accelerated our transformation into
a fully integrated biotechnology company—one
designed to deliver meaningful, antibody-based
medicines to patients at scale. We reached more
patients than ever before, reflecting the growing
global impact of our science and our ability to
reliably bring innovation to the people who
need it most.
Our medicines have achieved leading positions
worldwide, reaching more than 13,000 patients
through 2025. We also celebrated a major
milestone with our first independently led launches,
and expanded our operations into France,
Germany, and the UK, supported by
extra[not]ordinary® talent and capabilities that
position us to extend our reach and impact even
further in the years ahead.
Driving Meaningful
Progress in Lymphoma
EPKINLY (epcoritamab) continued to redefine
what’s possible for patients as the only bispecific
antibody with indications in both FL and DLBCL
in the U.S., Europe, and Japan.
In February, EPKINLY became the first bispecific
therapy approved in Japan for 3L+ relapsed/
refractory FL, marking the medicine’s second
indication in the country and reinforcing its growing
global presence.
In November, EPKINLY in combination with R2
became the first bispecific-based therapy to enter
earlier lines of FL treatment with FDA approval in
relapsed/refractory FL. This approval has the
potential to broaden access to this bispecific-based
treatment across sites of care, including community
settings closer to where patients live. A submission
for this indication was also filed in Japan in
November.
Building on its established role as a later-line
monotherapy option, this progress underscores
EPKINLY’s potential to become a core therapy for
B-cell malignancies, demonstrating meaningful
benefit both as a single agent and in combination,
as well as in earlier stages of disease.
With regulatory approvals now in more than 65
countries and ongoing Phase 3 studies across
multiple lymphoma histologies and lines of therapy,
EPKINLY is well-positioned to continue expanding
its reach to more patients around the world.
Follicular Lymphoma
Follicular lymphoma is the second most
common non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is
considered incurable, underscoring the
need for new treatments.

Working to Improve
Outcomes in Gynecologic
Cancers
Genmab’s commitment to patients with gynecologic
cancers is rooted in a simple belief: people facing
these diseases deserve better options. We are
working to deliver on that promise by expanding
access to Tivdak (tisotumab vedotin) today, while
advancing a pipeline of potential therapies for
tomorrow.
Cervical cancer remains the fourth leading cause of
cancer-related death among women worldwide.
The need for improved treatments is particularly
urgent in Japan, where both incidence and mortality
have risen in recent years, especially among
women under 50. In Europe, despite advances in
prevention and early detection, there remains a
significant unmet need for effective treatments for
advanced-stage disease.
Approved in the U.S. in 2021, Tivdak transformed
the treatment landscape for advanced cervical
cancer, offering a new standard of care where
options were limited. In 2025, Tivdak achieved
additional regulatory approvals in the EU, Japan,
and the UK, marking the start of a new chapter in
its global reach.
Tivdak also continues to catalyze our evolution into
a fully integrated, end-to-end company. It was the
first medicine we launched in partnership and
continues to set the course for how we bring
medicines to patients. The launch of Tivdak in
Japan, the first executed independently by
Genmab, represents a major step toward our
ambition to bring our own medicines to market.
Expanding the Reach of Our Medicines
In September, Tivdak became available in
Germany, marking our first commercial launch in
Europe and establishing the foundation for our
expanding regional footprint, including new
operations in France, Germany, and the
United Kingdom.
With increasing global access to Tivdak and strong
patient uptake, Genmab is building a robust
foundation for broader impact across gynecologic
cancers as we continue to advance our innovative
pipeline with investigational assets like Rina-S that
could broaden our reach to areas including ovarian
and endometrial cancers.
Tivdak
Tivdak is the first and only ADC
approved in the US, Europe, and Japan
for the treatment of recurrent or
metastatic cervical cancer after prior
therapy and is the only ADC with
demonstrated overall survival data in
this setting compared to chemotherapy.
Ensuring Rapid and
Sustainable Access to
Our Medicines
We are focused on our pursuit to turn innovative
science into medicines that create value and
provide meaningful impact to patients and
health systems.
Ultimately, we positively impact the lives of people
with cancer when our science becomes medicine,
our medicine creates value, and the value of our
medicine is realized by patients who can benefit.
Patient access and affordability are key
components of this.
We aim to ensure patients have timely access to
our medicines, regardless of their socioeconomic or
insurance status. Our pricing approach balances
this commitment to access with the value of our
innovations and our ability to invest in the
breakthrough science of the future.
Together with our partners, we work with local
country regulatory and payer authorities in the U.S.,
Japan, and throughout Europe to facilitate
registration and reimbursement to help enable
patient access to our medicines around the
world. At the same time, we fundamentally
believe that global, sustainable access requires fair
contribution among developed nations towards
innovation costs. For the global innovation
ecosystem to thrive and for patients to benefit,
value and pricing mechanisms must recognize the
different healthcare infrastructures and economic
contexts of individual markets.
We understand that true patient impact happens
when our medicines reach the patients who need
them. In the U.S., MyNavCare Patient Support® by
Genmab was created to offer support services to
patients prescribed Genmab medicines to help
them navigate each step of their unique
treatment journey.
Our Approach to Value, Access,
and Pricing
Value: The value of our medicines is
driven by our innovative science.
Access: Patient impact happens when
our medicines reach the people who need
them and help them live better.
Pricing: The price of our medicines
reflects the innovation behind our science,
its impact on patients, and our
commitment to bringing that science
to patients.
Elevating Patient Voices
Our Patient Advisory Council gives
patients a seat at the table, ensuring
their insights and experiences will help
guide our work, from trial design to how
we support and deliver our medicines.
“Serving on Genmab’s Patient Advisory
Council means the patient voice will
have a direct influence on what comes
next,” said Jim Zervanos. “It’s
empowering and inspiring to know my
experience will help shape decisions
that can benefit others like me.”

Pipeline
At the end of 2025, Genmab’s proprietary pipeline of
investigational medicines, where we are responsible for at least
50% of development, consisted of five antibody products in
active clinical development. Our approved medicines are
EPKINLY/TEPKINLY, which Genmab is co-developing and   
co-commercializing in the US and Japan in collaboration with
AbbVie and Tivdak, which Genmab is co-developing globally
and co-promoting in the US in collaboration with Pfizer and
exclusively by Genmab outside of the US and China. In addition
to our own pipeline, there are multiple investigational medicines
in development by global pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies and six approved medicines powered by Genmab’s
technology and innovations. BIZENGRI® (zenocutuzumab-zbco)
was also added to our portfolio of royalty medicines as part of
our acquisition of Merus. Beyond the investigational medicines
in active clinical development, our pipeline includes multiple
promising preclinical programs. An overview of the development
status of our approved medicines and our late-stage
investigational medicines is provided in the following sections.

EPKINLY/TEPKINLY (CON’T)
Fourth Quarter Updates
December: Epcoritamab-bysp in
combination with R2 was added to the National
Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN®)
Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN
Guidelines®) for “B-Cell lymphomas” (Version
1.2026) for second-line FL therapy as a
Category 1, preferred regimen, the only
bispecific antibody listed in this setting.
November: FDA approval of EPKINLY in
combination with R2 for the treatment of
adult patients with relapsed or refractory FL,
following at least one prior systemic therapy.
The approval was based on data from the first
interim analysis of the Phase 3 EPCORE FL-1
(NCT05409066) trial. With the results from this
study the FDA also converted the June 2024
accelerated approval of EPKINLY monotherapy
for the treatment of relapsed/refractory FL
following two or more lines of systemic therapy
into a full approval.
October: Epcoritamab-bysp monotherapy
was added to the NCCN Guidelines for “Chronic
Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic
Lymphoma” (Version 1.2026) for Richter’s
transformation as a Category 2A, preferred
regimen.
Key Updates From First Quarter
To Third Quarter
August: In a second pre-planned interim analysis
the Phase 3 EPCORE FL-1 trial met its dual
primary endpoints of ORR and PFS. The safety
profile of epcoritamab in combination with R2 was
consistent with the known safety profiles of the
individual regimens and as presented in the U.S.
prescribing information for epcoritamab. These
results will serve as the basis for global regulatory
submissions. The data was selected for an oral
presentation at the 67th Annual Meeting and
Exposition of ASH in December 2025.
September: Updated results from the Phase 2
EPCORE NHL-6 trial (NCT05451810) were
presented as a poster at the 13th Society of
Hematologic Oncology Annual Meeting. These
results demonstrated the feasibility of treating
and monitoring patients in an outpatient setting
following the first dose of epcoritamab and showed
that the incidence and severity of adverse events
associated with epcoritamab were consistent with
previous epcoritamab studies in patients with
relapsed/refractory DLBCL.
February: Epcoritamab-bysp in combination
with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GemOx) was
added to the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in
Oncology for “B-cell Lymphomas” (Version 2.2025)
for second-line patients with DLBCL who are
ineligible for transplant as a Category 2A,
preferred regimen.
January: The Japan MHLW approved EPKINLY
(epcoritamab) for the treatment of patients with
relapsed or refractory FL who have received two
or more lines of therapy.
About Diffuse Large B-cell
Lymphoma
DLBCL is the most common type of NHL worldwide,
accounting for approximately 25-30% of all NHL
cases.1 In the US there are approximately 25,000
new cases of DLBCL diagnosed each year.2
DLBCL can arise in lymph nodes as well as in
organs outside of the lymphatic system, occurs
more commonly in the elderly and is slightly more
prevalent in men.3,4 DLBCL is a fast-growing type
of NHL, a cancer that develops in the lymphatic
system and affects B-cell lymphocytes, a type of
white blood cell. For many people living with
DLBCL, their cancer either relapses, which means
it may return after treatment, or becomes refractory,
meaning it does not respond to treatment. Although
new therapies have become available, treatment
management can remain a challenge.5,6

About Follicular Lymphoma
FL is typically an indolent (or slow-growing)
form of NHL that arises from B-lymphocytes
and is the second most common form of
NHL accounting for 20 — 30% of all cases.1
About 15,000 people develop FL each year
in the US2 and it is considered incurable with
current standard of care therapies.3 Patients
often relapse and, with each relapse the
remission and time to next treatment is
shorter.4 Over time, transformation to
DLBCL, an aggressive form of NHL
associated with poor survival outcomes, can
occur in more than 25% of FL patients.5

About Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer remains a disease with high
unmet need despite advances in effective
vaccination and screening practices to prevent
and diagnose pre-/early-stage cancers for
curative treatment. Recurrent and/or metastatic
cervical cancer is a particularly devastating and
mostly incurable disease; up to 15% of adults
with cervical cancer present with metastatic
disease at diagnosis1,2 and, for adults diagnosed
at earlier stages who receive treatment, up to
61%3 will experience disease recurrence.
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common
cause of cancer death among women globally4.

Antibody Technologies
Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that play a
central role in immunity against bacteria and
viruses (also known as pathogens). As we
develop immunity, our bodies generate
antibodies that bind to pathogen structures
(known as antigens), which are specific to the
pathogen. Once bound, the antibodies attract
other parts of the immune system to eliminate
the pathogen. In modern medicine, we have
learned how to create and develop specific
antibodies against antigens associated with
diseased human cells for use in the treatment
of diseases such as cancer and autoimmune
disease. Genmab uses several types of
technologies to create antibodies to treat
disease and has developed proprietary antibody
technologies including the DuoBody, HexaBody,
DuoHexaBody and HexElect technology
platforms. With our acquisition of ProfoundBio
we gained their novel ADC technology platforms.
We also gained a number of proprietary
technology platforms as part of our acquisition of
Merus. Information about these technologies can
be found in the following sections and at
genmab.com/antibody-science/antibody-
technology-platforms.
We also use or license several other
technologies to generate diverse libraries of
high-quality, functional antibodies. In addition,
we use or license technologies to increase the
potency of some of our antibody therapeutics
on a product-by-product basis.

Financial Review
“Our differentiated approach
to building a fully integrated
biotech company started in the
2010s and has continued into
the 2020s. Anchored by
high-quality revenue growth and
disciplined capital allocation,
we have high conviction that we
have the building blocks in place
to continue our strong track
record through the 2030s.”
Anthony Pagano,
Executive Vice President and

Financial Review — Group
The financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis for Genmab A/S (parent company)
and its subsidiaries. Management has determined it is appropriate to change both the functional currency
of the Genmab A/S legal entity and the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements
from DKK to USD effective January 1, 2025. The change in functional currency was triggered by
the expanding commercialization of EPKINLY and was made to reflect that USD has become the
predominant currency of the Genmab A/S legal entity. The change has been implemented with prospective
effect. The change in presentation currency is applied retrospectively and was made to better reflect the
Company’s financial position. Comparative figures for prior periods have been restated accordingly. The
symbol “$” is used throughout this annual report to refer to the U.S. dollar. The Genmab consolidated
Group is referenced herein as “Genmab” or the “Company.”
On December 12, 2025, Genmab closed on the acquisition of Merus, including its late-stage breakthrough
therapy asset petosemtamab. In order to finance the acquisition, Genmab incurred borrowing of $5.5 billion
and utilized cash on hand. Genmab’s financial results for 2025 reflect the impact of these transactions.

Revenue
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 revenue was $3,121 million in 2024 compared to $2,390 million in 2023. The increase of
$731 million, or 31%, was primarily driven by higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta royalties achieved under
our collaborations with J&J and Novartis, respectively. Increased EPKINLY net product sales, driven by
a strong product launch in 2023 with a full year of net sales in 2024, also contributed to increased
revenue in 2024.

DARZALEX
J&J’s net sales of DARZALEX were $14,351 million
in 2025 compared to $11,670 million in 2024 and
$9,744 million in 2023. The increase from 2024
to 2025 of $2,681 million, or 23%, was driven by
share gains in all regions. The increase from 2023
to 2024 of $1,926 million, or 20%, was also driven
by share gains in all regions.
Royalty revenue on net sales of DARZALEX was
$2,443 million in 2025 compared to $2,019 million
in 2024 and $1,635 million in 2023, an increase of
$424 million from 2024 to 2025, and an increase of
$384 million from 2023 to 2024.
The percentage increase in royalties of 21%
from 2024 to 2025 is lower than the percentage
increase in the underlying net sales of 23%
primarily due to negative foreign exchange rate
impacts and an increase in Genmab’s Halozyme
royalty reductions in connection with the increase in
SC product net sales, partially offset by higher
effective royalty rate for 2025. Under our license
agreement with Janssen for DARZALEX, for
purposes of calculating royalties due to
Genmab, DARZALEX net sales for non-U.S. dollar
denominated currencies are translated to U.S.
dollars at a specified annual Currency Hedge Rate.
This contractual arrangement is the driver for the
other foreign exchange impacts discussed above.
The percentage increase in royalties of 23%
from 2023 to 2024 is higher than the percentage
increase in the underlying net sales of 20%
primarily due to a higher effective royalty rate
for 2024 and other positive foreign exchange
rate impacts, partially offset by the increase
in Genmab’s Halozyme royalty reductions in
connection with the increase in SC product net
sales and an increase in royalty reductions on net
sales in countries and territories where there is no
Genmab patent coverage as well as lower average
exchange rate between the USD and DKK in 2024.

Kesimpta
Novartis’ net sales of Kesimpta were $4,426 million
in 2025 compared to $3,224 million in 2024 and
$2,171 million in 2023. The increase of $1,202
million from 2024 to 2025, or 37%, was primarily
driven by increased demand and continued strong
access. The increase of $1,053 million from 2023 to
2024, or 49%, was primarily driven by increased
demand and strong access.
Royalty revenue on net sales of Kesimpta was
$443 million in 2025 compared to $323 million in
2024, an increase of $120 million, or 37%. Royalty
revenue on net sales of Kesimpta was $323 million
in 2024 compared to $217 million in 2023, an
increase of $106 million, or 49%.
TEPEZZA
Amgen’s net sales of TEPEZZA were $1,903 million
in 2025 compared to $1,851 million in 2024 and
$1,771 million in 2023. Royalty revenue on net
sales of TEPEZZA was $105 million in 2025
compared to $106 million in 2024 and $102 million
in 2023, a decrease of $1 million, or 1% from 2024
to 2025 and an increase of $4 million, or 4% from
2023 to 2024.
Other Royalties
Other royalties consist of royalties from net sales of
RYBREVANT, TECVAYLI, TALVEY and TEPKINLY.
J&J was granted FDA approval for RYBREVANT
during the second quarter of 2021, and Genmab
subsequently started recognizing royalties on net
sales of RYBREVANT. Royalties were not material
for 2025, 2024 or 2023.
J&J was granted approval for TECVAYLI for the
treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple
myeloma during the third quarter of 2022 in Europe
and in the fourth quarter of 2022 in the U.S.
Royalties were not material for 2025, 2024 or 2023.
During the third quarter of 2023, J&J was granted
approval in the US and in Europe for TALVEY for
the treatment of relapsed or refractory multiple
myeloma. Royalties were not material for 2025
or 2024.
The EC granted conditional marketing authorization
for TEPKINLY as a monotherapy for the treatment
of adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL
after two or more lines of systemic therapy during
the third quarter of 2023. Royalties from AbbVie,
related to European net sales, were not material for
2025 or 2024.
Royalty revenue fluctuations from period to
period are driven by the level of product net sales,
foreign currency exchange rate movements and
more specifically to DARZALEX, the contractual
arrangement related to annual Currency Hedge
Rate, Genmab’s share of J&J’s royalty payments to
Halozyme in connection with SC product net sales
and royalty deductions on net sales in countries
and territories where there is no patent protection.
Net Product Sales
Global net product sales include sales of EPKINLY
in the US and Japan and Tivdak in Japan and
Germany. Global net sales of EPKINLY/TEPKINLY
were $468 million in 2025 compared to $281 million
in 2024, an increase of $187 million or 67%, driven
by strong growth in 3L+ DLBCL and the expansion
to address a second indication, 3L+ FL, which was
approved in the US in June 2024 . Net product
sales in the US and Japan recorded by Genmab
were $379 million in 2025 compared to $253 million
in 2024 and $61 million in 2023. EPKINLY was
approved in the US in May 2023 and in Japan in
September 2023.
Net sales of TEPKINLY in territories where Genmab
receives royalty revenue were $88 million in 2025,
compared to $28 million in 2024, with immaterial
net sales in 2023 due to regulatory approvals in
such territories not occurring until late 2023.
Net product sales of Tivdak by Genmab were
$19 million in 2025 with no net product sales in
2024. Tivdak was launched in Japan in May 2025
and became available for prescribing in Germany in
September 2025.
Refer to Note 2.1 for further details about revenue.
Financial Review – Group
Reimbursement Revenue
Reimbursement revenue, mainly comprised of
the reimbursement of certain research and
development costs related to the development work
under Genmab’s collaboration agreements,
amounted to $53 million in 2025 compared to $144
million in 2024 and $124 million in 2023.
The decrease of $91 million , or 63%, from 2024
to 2025 was driven by Genmab assuming full
control of the development, as well as future
commercialization, of the acasunlimab program,
effective in the second half of 2024. The increase of
$20 million, or 16%, from 2023 to 2024 was
primarily driven by higher activities under our
collaboration agreements with BioNTech for
DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB and acasunlimab prior
to Genmab assuming full ownership, as well
as by higher activities under our collaboration
agreement with Pfizer for Tivdak.
Milestone Revenue
Milestone revenue was $97 million in 2025
compared to $145 million in 2024 and $171 million
in 2023, a decrease of $48 million , or 33%, from
2024 to 2025, and a decrease of $26 million , or
15%, from 2023 to 2024, primarily driven by the
following milestones by year as presented below:
2025 milestones:
AbbVie milestone of $30 million due to
acceptance for filing of a BLA by the FDA in
the third Indication for epcoritamab.
AbbVie milestone of $15 million due to
acceptance for filing of a BLA by the EMA in
the third indication for epcoritamab.
Novo Nordisk milestone of $12.5 million due
to filing of a BLA in the United States for an
exclusive product.
J&J milestone of $10 million due to Biologics
License Application (BLA) approval in any of
Japan, China or India of Licensed Product
targeting an Optioned Target Binding Pair
from First or Second Tranches (talquetamab).
J&J milestone of $10 million due to first
commercial sale in the United States or a
major EU country for either a smoldering multiple
myeloma indication or a maintenance indication
for DARZALEX.
J&J milestone of $10 million driven by
Worldwide Net Sales for TECVAYLI first
exceeding $0.5 billion in 2025.
2024 milestones:
Novartis milestone of $84 million driven
by worldwide net sales for Kesimpta, first
exceeding $2.5 billion in 2024, and
AbbVie milestone of $50 million due to the
acceptance for filing of a BLA by the FDA in the
second indication of epcoritamab in the US.
2023 milestones:
AbbVie milestone of $50 million driven by the
first commercial sale of EPKINLY in the US.
AbbVie milestone of $30 million due to the
acceptance of the marketing authorization
application (MAA) filing by the EMA of the
type II variation for marketing authorization
of TEPKINLY,
AbbVie milestone of $25 million due to the first
commercial sale of TEPKINLY in Europe, and
J&J milestone of $25 million related to the BLA
approval in the US for talquetamab.
Milestone revenue may fluctuate significantly
from period to period due to both the timing of
achievements and the varying amount of each
individual milestone under our license and
collaboration agreements.
Collaboration Revenue
Collaboration revenue, which reflects 50% of gross
profit from net sales of Tivdak in the US by Pfizer,
was $70 million in 2025 compared to $62 million in
2024 and $45 million in 2023. The increase of $8
million , or 13%, from 2024 to 2025 was primarily
driven by increased sales of Tivdak. The increase
of $17 million from 2023 to 2024 was primarily
driven by increased sales of Tivdak.
Cost of Product Sales
Genmab recognized cost of product sales of
$238 million in 2025 compared to $143 million
in 2024 and $33 million in 2023. Cost of product
sales includes product costs, royalty expense and
profit-sharing amounts payable to AbbVie. The
profit-sharing amount paid to AbbVie related to
EPKINLY was $179 million in 2025 compared to
$122 million in 2024 and $28 million in 2023.
Royalty expense was $17 million in 2025. There
was no royalty expense recorded in 2024 or 2023.
Aside from these items, there are no other costs
included within cost of product sales.
Refer to Notes 2.3, 3.5 and 5.6 for further details
about cost of product sales.
Research and
Development Expenses
Research and development expenses amounted to
$1,606 million in 2025 compared to $1,414 million
in 2024 and $1,107 million in 2023. The increase
from 2024 to 2025 of $192 million , or 14%, was
driven by the addition of ProfoundBio related
research and development expenses, primarily
Rina-S, and the increase in team members to
support the continued expansion of our product
portfolio. The acquisition of ProfoundBio occurred in
the second quarter of 2024 and therefore
there were minimal Rina-S related research and
development expenses during 2024 compared
to 2025. Also contributing to the increase
were termination costs associated with the
discontinuance of the acasunlimab program in the
fourth quarter of 2025. These increases were offset
by decreased research and development expenses
related to epcoritamab under our collaboration with
AbbVie, primarily due to lower CMC costs in 2025
compared to 2024.
The increase from 2023 to 2024 of $307 million,
or 28% was driven by the increased and
accelerated advancement of epcoritamab under our
collaboration with AbbVie, the addition of
ProfoundBio related research and development
expenses, primarily Rina-S, advancement of
acasunlimab and DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB under our
collaboration with BioNTech, further progression of
pipeline products, and the increase in team
members to support the continued expansion of our
product portfolio.
Research and development costs accounted for
72% of total research and development expenses
and selling, general and administration expenses in
2025 compared to 72% in 2024 and 70% in 2023.

Third-party costs for epcoritamab decreased by $111 million, or 27%, in 2025 as compared to 2024,
primarily due to lower CMC costs in 2025 compared to 2024 related to epcoritamab under our collaboration
with AbbVie. Third-party costs for epcoritamab increased by $222 million, or 116%, in 2024 as compared to
2023, primarily due to the advancement and acceleration of the epcoritamab program under Genmab’s
collaboration with AbbVie.
Third-party costs for Rina-S were $230 million in 2025 compared to $46 million in 2024. Rina-S was
acquired through the acquisition of ProfoundBio in the second quarter of 2024 and therefore there
were minimal Rina-S related research and development expenses during 2024 compared to 2025 due to
the increased development of Rina-S.
Third-party costs for tisotumab vedotin decreased by $15 million, or 39%, in 2025 as compared to 2024,
primarily due to the completion of certain clinical study activities in 2024. Third-party costs for tisotumab
vedotin decreased by $3 million, or 7%, in 2024 as compared to 2023, primarily due to the completion of
certain clinical study activities in 2024.
Third-party costs for acasunlimab increased by $57 million, or 56%, in 2025 as compared to 2024 due to
termination costs associated with the discontinuance of the acasunlimab program in the fourth quarter of
2025. Third-party costs for acasunlimab increased by $22 million, or 28%, in 2024 as compared to 2023,
primarily due to the continued advancement of the program, which Genmab obtained sole ownership
during the third quarter of 2024.
Financial Review – Group
Third-party costs for DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB
decreased by $25 million, or 33%, in 2025 as
compared to 2024, primarily due to lower CMC
spending for the program under Genmab’s
collaboration with BioNTech, which was terminated
during the fourth quarter of 2025. Third-party costs
for DuoBody-CD40x4-1BB increased by $16
million, or 27%, in 2024 as compared to 2023,
primarily due to the continued advancement and
expansion of the program under Genmab’s
collaboration with BioNTech during 2024.
Third-party costs for Genmab’s other clinical stage
programs decreased by $50 million, or 68%, in
2025 as compared to 2024, primarily related to
discontinuance of the DuoBody-CD3xB7H4 and
DuoBody-CD3xCD30 programs. Third-party costs
for Genmab’s other clinical stage programs
decreased by $36 million, or 33%, in 2024 as
compared to 2023, primarily related to DuoBody-
CD3xB7H4 and DuoBody-CD3xCD30 in 2024.
Research and development expenses related to
our preclinical projects increased by $29 million, or
13%, in 2025 as compared to 2024, driven by the
continued investment in new and existing
preclinical programs. Research and development
expenses related to our preclinical projects
increased by $52 million, or 32%, in 2024 as
compared to 2023, driven by the continued
investment in new and existing preclinical
programs. An IND was submitted for
DuoBody-FAPαxDR4 and a CTA was submitted
for GEN1078.
Personnel, unallocated costs and overhead
increased by $123 million, or 27%, in 2025
as compared to 2024, primarily related to
incremental FTE costs to support our late state
pipeline. Our research and development FTEs
increased from 1,886 at the end of 2024 to 2,089 at
the end of 2025. Personnel, unallocated costs and
overhead decreased by $12 million, or 3%, in 2024
as compared to 2023, primarily due to travel costs,
which were higher in 2023 due to the upcoming
launch of EPKINLY in 2023. Our research and
development FTEs increased from 1,541 at the end
of 2023 to 1,886 at the end of 2024.
Refer to Note 2.3, 3.1, 3.2 and 5.5 for further
details about staff costs, intangible assets,
property and equipment and the acquisition
of ProfoundBio.
Selling, General and
Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$626 million in 2025 compared to $549 million in
2024 and $478 million in 2023. The increase from
2024 to 2025 of $77 million, or 14%, was driven
primarily by the expansion of Genmab’s global
commercialization capabilities, primarily associated
with the expansion of epcoritamab and investment
in commercialization related activities for Rina-S to
prepare for its projected launch. The increase from
2023 to 2024 of $71 million, or 15%, was driven by
the continued expansion of Genmab’s
commercialization capabilities through the increase
in team members to support the continued launch
of EPKINLY in the US and Japan in 2023, and the
investment in Genmab’s broader organizational
capabilities.
$323 million, or 52% of selling, general and
administrative expenses in 2025, was related
to compensation of Genmab team members
associated with selling, general and administrative
activities, as compared to $263 million, or 48%
in 2024 and $224 million, or 47% in 2023.
Refer to Note 2.3 and 3.2 for further details about
staff costs and property and equipment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses accounted for 28% of total research and development
expenses and selling, general and administration expenses in 2025 compared to 28% in 2024 and 30% in
2023.
Acquisition and Integration Related Charges
Acquisition and integration related charges were $185 million in 2025 compared to $43 million in 2024 and
no acquisition and integration related charges for 2023 as there were no acquisitions during 2023. The
$185 million in 2025 is primarily related to professional fees of $109 million incurred by Merus upon close of
the acquisition and $58 million of equity payouts to former Merus employees. The acquisitions of Merus
and ProfoundBio occurred during the fourth quarter of 2025 and second quarter of 2024, respectively.
Refer to Note 5.5 for further details about the acquisitions of Merus and ProfoundBio.
Operating Profit
Operating profit was $1,065 million in 2025 compared to $972 million in 2024, an increase of $93 million, or
10%. Operating profit was $972 million in 2024 compared to $772 million in 2023, an increase of $200

Financial Review – Group
Interest Income
Interest income was $138 million in 2025 compared
to $144 million in 2024 and $142 million in 2023.
The decrease of $6 million, or 4% from 2024 to
2025, was primarily driven by the lower average
cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities as a result of the ProfoundBio acquisition
in the second quarter of 2024, as well as lower
interest rates of USD denominated marketable
securities in 2025 compared to 2024. Additionally,
Genmab liquidated its entire marketable security
portfolio in December 2025 to contribute to the
financing of the Merus acquisition. The increase of
$2 million, or 1% from 2023 to 2024 was primarily
driven by the higher cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities in the first half of 2024
compared to 2023, almost entirely offset by lower
cash and cash equivalents and marketable
securities in the second half of 2024 compared to
2023 as a result of liquidating marketable securities
and using cash to purchase ProfoundBio.
Interest Expense on Borrowings
The increase of $27 million, or 100% from 2024 to
2025, was primarily driven by interest expense
associated with debt issued in December 2025 in
connection with financing the Merus acquisition.
There was no interest expense on borrowings in
2024 and 2023.
Refer to Note 4.8 for further details regarding
Genmab borrowings.
Foreign Exchange Rate Gains
and Losses
Foreign exchange rate loss, net, which excludes
foreign exchange rate movements on marketable
securities, was $3 million in 2025 compared to the
foreign exchange rate gain, net of $92 million in
2024 and foreign exchange rate loss, net of
$66 million in 2023. The change from 2024 to 2025
is primarily driven by a lower exchange rate impact
due to the change in functional currency of Genmab
A/S from DKK to USD on January 1, 2025. The
change from 2023 to 2024 was primarily driven by
foreign exchange rate movements impacting
Genmab’s USD denominated assets (excluding
marketable securities) and liabilities, noting
Genmab A/S functional currency was DKK during
2023 and 2024.
Marketable Securities Gains
and Losses
Gain on marketable securities, net, which includes
the impact of foreign exchange rate movements,
was $66 million in 2025 compared to gain on
marketable securities, net of $130 million in
2024 and loss on marketable securities, net of
$17 million in 2023. The decrease in gain, net
of $64 million, or 49% from 2024 to 2025 was
primarily driven by the change in the functional
currency of Genmab A/S effective January 1, 2025.
As the majority of Genmab’s investment portfolio is
denominated in U.S. dollars, these securities
benefited from the strengthening of the USD
against the DKK in 2024. In 2025, Genmab’s DKK
and EUR denominated currencies strengthened
against the USD, but to a lesser extent than the
USD strengthening against the DKK in 2024.
Additionally, Genmab liquidated its marketable
security portfolio in December 2025 to contribute to
financing of the Merus acquisition. The increase in
gain, net of $147 million, or 865% from 2023
to 2024, was primarily driven by foreign exchange
rate movements impacting Genmab’s USD
denominated marketable securities. As the majority
of Genmab’s investment portfolio is denominated in
U.S. dollars, these securities benefited from the
strengthening of the USD against the DKK in
2024, as compared the USD weakening against the
DKK in 2023.
Refer to Notes 4.2 and 4.5 for further details
regarding foreign currency risk and net financial
items, respectively.
Corporate Tax
Corporate tax expense was $241 million in 2025
compared to $193 million in 2024 and $186 million
in 2023. Genmab’s estimated annual effective tax
rate was 20.0% in 2025 compared to 14.6% in 2024
and 22.8% in 2023. The increase from 2024 to
2025 in Genmab’s effective tax rate was primarily
due to an increase in unrecognized deferred tax
assets from the acquisition of Merus. The decrease
from 2023 to 2024 in Genmab’s effective tax rate
was primarily due to the integration of ProfoundBio
which allowed for the deduction of previously
unrecognized deferred tax assets in 2024.
We anticipate that our effective tax rate should be
closer to the Danish statutory rate of 22% going
forward.
Refer to Note 2.4 for additional information
regarding the corporate tax, deferred tax assets
and deferred tax liabilities including
Management’s significant judgements
and estimates.
Net Profit
Net profit for 2025 was $963 million compared to
$1,133 million in 2024 and $631 million in 2023.
The changes in net profit for the periods were
driven by the items described above.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of December 31, 2025, $1,715 million, as
compared to $1,380 million as of December 31,
2024, was held as cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents did not include any
short-term marketable securities at the end of
December 2025, compared to $11 million at the end
of December 2024. In accordance with Genmab’s
accounting policy, securities purchased with a
maturity of less than 90 days at the date
of acquisition are classified as cash and
cash equivalents.
Genmab requires cash to meet our operating
expenses and capital expenditures. We have
primarily funded our cash requirements since
inception, including through December 31, 2025,
primarily with royalty and milestone payments from
our partners, upfront payments, and equity
financing. Genmab expects to continue to fund
a significant portion of our development costs
for proprietary product candidates as well as
commercialization activities with cash received from
royalties and milestone payments from partners,
and net sales of Genmab products. During
December 2025, with the acquisition of Merus, we
incurred borrowing of $5.5 billion to contribute to
the financing of the acquisition.
Borrowings
Genmab entered into financing arrangements
totaling $5.5 billion, consisting of senior secured
notes, senior unsecured notes, and term loans, as
well as a revolving credit facility that remained
undrawn.
Term Loans
In December 2025, Genmab entered into two
senior secured term loans, Term Loan A and Term
Loan B, with nominal amounts of $1 billion and
$2 billion, respectively (collectively, the “Loans”).
The Loans were obtained to contribute to the
financing of the acquisition of Merus and contain
certain customary financial covenants. The Loans
are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all
assets of Genmab Finance LLC, Genmab A/S, and
certain other guarantor subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2025, Genmab retains
ownership and control of the pledged assets, which
continue to be recognized in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets and Genmab is in compliance with
all applicable financial covenants. As of December
31, 2025, the carrying amount of assets, including
goodwill and other intangible assets, corporate tax
receivable, inventory, financial assets, and property
and equipment pledged as collateral for the Loans
is $11.1 billion.
Notes
In December 2025, Genmab entered into Senior
Secured Notes of $1.5 billion and Senior
Unsecured Notes of $1.0 billion (together, the
“Notes”). The proceeds were also used to finance
the Merus acquisition. The Senior Secured Notes
are backed by the same collateral package as the
Loans, while the Senior Unsecured Notes are not
collateralized. Genmab is subject to certain
financial covenants testing on a quarter-end and
annual basis beginning March 31, 2026.
Revolving Credit Facilities
During the fourth quarter of 2024, Genmab entered
into an unsecured three-year revolving credit facility
(“2024 Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $300
million with a syndicate of lenders. The 2024
Revolving Credit Facility was established to finance
working capital needs, and for general corporate
purposes of Genmab A/S and its subsidiaries. The
2024 Revolving Credit Facility included options to
increase the size of the facility up to $500 million as
well as the ability to extend for an additional two
years. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility contained
certain customary financial covenants. The 2024
Revolving Credit Facility was terminated on
December 12, 2025 upon close of the Merus
acquisition.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, Genmab entered
into a secured five-year revolving credit facility
(“2025 Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to
$500 million with a syndicate of lenders. The
2025 Revolving Credit Facility contains certain
customary financial covenants. Genmab intends
to use the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility to finance
working capital needs, and for general corporate
purposes, of Genmab A/S and its subsidiaries.
Expenditures
Genmab’s expenditures on current and future
preclinical and clinical development programs are
subject to numerous uncertainties in timing and
cost to completion. In order to advance our product
candidates toward commercialization, the product
candidates are tested in numerous preclinical
safety, toxicology and efficacy studies. Genmab
then conducts clinical trials for those product
candidates that take several years or more to
complete. The length of time varies substantially
based upon the type, complexity, novelty and
intended use of a product candidate. The cost of
clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a
project as a result of a variety of factors, including:
the number of patients required in the clinical trials;
the length of time required to enroll trial
participants; the number and location of sites
included in the trials; the costs of producing
supplies of the product candidates needed for
clinical trials and regulatory submissions; the safety
and efficacy profile of the product candidate; the
use of CROs to assist with the management of the
trials; and the costs and timing of, and the ability to
secure, regulatory approvals.
Genmab’s expenses also fluctuate from period
to period based on the degree of activities with
collaborative partners, timing of manufacturing
campaigns, numbers of patients enrolled in clinical
trials and the outcome of each clinical trial event. As
a result, Genmab is unable to determine with
any degree of certainty the anticipated completion
dates, duration and completion costs of research
and development projects, or when and to what
extent Genmab will receive cash inflows from the
commercialization and sale of any product
candidates. Genmab also cannot predict the actual
amount or timing of future royalties and milestone
payments, and these may differ from estimates.
Genmab expects to increase operating
expenditures and make additional capital outlays
over the next several years as Genmab supports
preclinical development, manufacturing, clinical trial
activities, product collaborations, commercialization
activities and early payments of borrowings.
Spending is expected to increase on research,
development, integration activities, and
commercialization activities related to product
development. To the extent Genmab’s capital
resources are insufficient to meet future capital
requirements, Genmab may need to finance
operating requirements and other cash needs
through the use of the 2025 Revolving Credit
Facility, public or private equity offerings, or debt
financings. Such financings may not be on terms
deemed favorable to Genmab.

information regarding our external source of
liquidity, financial risks, Marketable securities,
and Borrowings, respectively.

(12)
Net cash provided by operating activities is primarily related to our operating profit, changes in operating
assets and liabilities, reversal of net financial items, and adjustments related to non-cash transactions.
Cash provided by operating activities increased in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily driven by increase in
other payables of $278 million  in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily related to the expansion of our product
pipeline as well as accrued termination costs associated with the discontinuance of the acasunlimab
program during the fourth quarter of 2025. Also contributing to the increase was a reduction of financial
income, net of $215 million from 2024 to 2025 attributable to a lower exchange rate impact due to the
change in functional currency of Genmab A/S from DKK to USD on January 1, 2025 and an increase in
non-cash transactions of $49 million. Theses increases were partly offset by a decrease in net profit before
tax of $122 million and an increase in taxes paid of $410 million in 2025 compared to 2024. Cash provided
by operating activities increased in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily driven by an increase in net profit
before tax of $509 million, an increase in non-cash transactions of $54 million, and a decrease in taxes
paid of $105 million in 2024 compared to 2023, partly offset by significant AbbVie milestones achieved
during the fourth quarter of 2022 with related cash received during 2023, and an increase in DARZALEX
royalty receivables in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter in 2023.
Net cash (used in) investing activities primarily reflects cash used in making acquisitions, differences
between the proceeds received from the sale and maturity of our marketable securities and amounts
invested, and the cash paid for investments in tangible and intangible assets. The increase from 2024
to 2025 in net cash (used in) investing activities is primarily driven by the larger acquisition of Merus in
2025 of $7.2 billion compared to the acquisition of ProfoundBio in 2024 of $1.8 billion, partly offset by the
sales and maturities of marketable securities exceeding purchases in 2025 to a greater extent than
compared to 2024 due to the liquidation of marketable securities during the fourth quarter of 2025 to
contribute towards the financing of the Merus acquisition. The increase from 2023 to 2024 in net cash
(used in) investing activities is primarily driven by the acquisition of ProfoundBio, partly offset by the sales
and maturities of marketable securities exceeding purchases in 2024, compared to purchases exceeding
sales and maturities in 2023.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
is primarily related to the issuance of borrowings,
purchase of treasury shares, exercise of warrants,
lease payments, and payment of withholding taxes
on behalf of employees on net settled Restricted
Stock Units (RSUs). The increase from 2024 to
2025 in net cash provided by financing activities is
as a result of the $5.5 billion of proceeds from
issuance of borrowings, net of $273 million of debt
issuance costs paid. The increase from 2023 to
2024 in net cash (used in) financing activities is
primarily driven by cash payments for the purchase
of treasury shares of $560 million in 2024
compared to $81 million in 2023.
Exchange rate adjustments represent foreign
currency gains or losses on Genmab’s cash and
cash equivalents, primarily driven by our cash
and cash equivalents holdings denominated in
currencies other than USD.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2025, total assets were
$12,873 million, compared to $6,414 million as
of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025,
assets are mainly comprised of intangible assets of
$9,123 million, as a result of intangible assets
acquired in the Merus and ProfoundBIo
acquisitions, current receivables of $1,112 million,
cash and cash equivalents of $1,715 million and
$355 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of
ProfoundBio. The current receivables consist
primarily of amounts related to royalties from our
collaboration agreements. The credit risk related to
our receivables is not material based on no
historical credit losses as well as the high-quality
nature of Genmab’s collaboration partners and
limited number of distributors with high
credit standing.
Refer to Note 3.6 for additional information
regarding receivables and Note 5.5 for additional
details related to the acquisitions of Merus and
ProfoundBio.
As of December 31, 2025, total liabilities were
$7,026 million compared to $1,277 million as of
December 31, 2024. The increase in total liabilities
of $5,749 million, or 450%, was primarily driven
by the $5.5 billion of borrowings entered into in
December 2025 to contribute to the funding of
the Merus acquisition. Also contributing to the
increase was an increase of $580 million in
accruals, primarily related to the expansion of our
product pipeline as well as accrued termination
costs associated with the discontinuance of the
acasunlimab and other programs during the fourth
quarter of 2025.
Shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2025 was
$5,847 million compared to $5,137 million as of
December 31, 2024. The increase of $710 million,
or 14%, was driven primarily by Genmab’s net profit
for the period and share-based compensation
expenses, partly offset by the purchase of treasury
shares. Genmab’s equity ratio was 45% as of
December 31, 2025 compared to 80% as of
December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily
attributable to assets acquired in the acquisition of
Merus, net of cash paid, during the fourth
quarter of 2025.
Financial Review – Group
Legal Matters
In September 2020, Genmab commenced
arbitration against J&J with respect to two
different provisions of our license agreement for
daratumumab, both relating to royalties payable to
Genmab on net sales of daratumumab (marketed
as DARZALEX for IV administration and as
DARZALEX FASPRO in the US and as DARZALEX
SC in Europe for SC administration). In April 2022,
the arbitral tribunal issued an award in that
arbitration denying both of Genmab’s claims.
Genmab did not seek review of the award. On June
9, 2022, Genmab commenced a second arbitration
against J&J under the license agreement, in which
Genmab sought additional compensation from
J&J with respect to SC daratumumab based on
Genmab’s position that the award in favor of J&J in
the first arbitration was premised on that tribunal’s
determination that IV daratumumab and SC
daratumumab were separate “Licensed Products”
as that term is defined in the license agreement.
Genmab’s claim in that second arbitration was
denied by the tribunal on April 21, 2023 on the
ground that it should have been brought in the first
arbitration, and the dismissal was affirmed by an
appellate arbitrator on January 23, 2024.
In 2024, Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. filed a
lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court in Japan against
AbbVie’s and Genmab’s Japanese subsidiaries
asserting that their activities related to EPKINLY
(epcoritamab) in Japan infringe two Japanese
patents held by Chugai, claiming damages and
injunctive relief. In September 2025, Chugai filed
two further lawsuits in the same court, against the
same parties and with similar assertions, based
on two newly granted Japanese patents held by
Chugai which are similar to the patents from the
original lawsuit.
Genmab and AbbVie believe that all four patents
are invalid and/or not infringed and intend to
vigorously defend the claims, and thus no provision
has been recorded related to this matter.
During the first quarter of 2025, AbbVie filed a
complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Washington (Seattle) naming
Genmab A/S; ProfoundBio US Co.; ProfoundBio
(Suzhou) Co., Ltd.; and former AbbVie employees
as defendants. AbbVie alleges that the defendants
have misappropriated AbbVie’s alleged trade
secrets relating to the use of disaccharides to
improve the hydrophilicity of drug-linkers in ADCs
in connection with Rina-S and other ADC pipeline
products of ProfoundBio. AbbVie is seeking
damages and broad injunctive relief. AbbVie is not
asserting or enforcing any patent rights against the
defendants, and to Genmab’s knowledge, AbbVie
has not pursued any development of products
incorporating their alleged trade secrets. During
the fourth quarter of 2025, AbbVie filed a complaint
with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)
under Section 337 of the Tariff Act against
ProfoundBio US Co.; ProfoundBio (Suzhou) Co.,
Ltd.; Genmab A/S; Genmab B.V.; and Genmab US,
Inc., seeking to exclude certain antibody drug
conjugate products from importation into the United
States. The district court action has since been
stayed. The ITC complaint is based on allegations
that are substantially similar to those asserted in
the Washington district court action.
Genmab categorically refutes these allegations and
will vigorously defend the Company against
AbbVie’s claims, and thus no provision has been
recorded related to this matter.
Refer to Note 5.7 for further details about
contingencies.

Financial Review – Parent
Revenue
Genmab A/S’s revenue was $3,659 million in 2025
compared to $3,213 million in 2024. The increase
of $446 million, or 14%, was primarily driven by
higher DARZALEX and Kesimpta royalties
achieved under our collaborations with J&J and
Novartis, respectively, as well as increased
EPKINLY intercompany net product sales.
Financial Income
and Expense
Genmab A/S’s financial income was $420 million in
2025 compared to $2,508 million in 2024. The
decrease of $2,088 million was primarily driven by
the $1.9 billion of dividend income Genmab A/S
received related to the sale of ProfoundBio US
intangible assets to Genmab A/S in 2024.
Genmab A/S’s financial expense was $257 million
in 2025 compared to $1,767 million in 2024. The
decrease of $1,510 million was primarily driven
by the $1.5 billion impairment related to
Genmab A/S’s investment in subsidiaries in 2024.
Refer to Note 14 in the parent company financial
statements for further details related to the
transfer of ProfoundBio US intangible assets
to Genmab A/S.

Risk Management
As an international biotech company dedicated
to improving the lives of cancer patients around
the world, Genmab operates within a heavily
regulated environment that exposes us to an
ever-evolving set of risks, some of which are
beyond our control. Genmab has core facilities in
five countries that perform an array of essential
innovation, research, development,
manufacturing activities, commercial operations,
and support functions, all of which pose risks
to our operations and success.
Specifically, these operations and activities
expose us to risks, some of which are inherent in
our business and/or beyond our control, that
include but may not be limited to financial,
research and development, regulatory, IT/data/
technology, staffing, compliance, legal, and also
environmental and sustainability-related risks.
Maintaining a strong control environment,
with adequate procedures for identification,
prioritization and assessment of risks and
adhering to operational policies designed
to reduce such risks to an acceptable level,
is essential for the continued evolution of
Genmab. It is our policy to identify and reduce
the risks derived from our operations and
to establish insurance coverage and other
enterprise risk reduction and resilience
mechanisms to mitigate any residual risk,
wherever considered practicable. Genmab
has dedicated resources toward enabling its
enterprise risk management (ERM) framework
under the Global Compliance & Risk function
that reports directly to the Chief Legal Officer.
In concert with a refreshed Code of Conduct,
company policies and procedures, Genmab
has chartered a Global Compliance and Risk
Governance Committee (GCRC) co-chaired by the
CEO and the head of Compliance & Risk. Genmab
has also updated its risk model and framework
to include enhanced risk oversight, mitigation,
governance, and reporting, all of which we believe
positions us to better manage the risks associated
with our business, now and into the future.
Furthermore, the Audit and Finance Committee of
the Board performs a yearly review of Genmab’s
Enterprise Risk Program and relevant insurance
coverage to ensure that they are appropriate for
Genmab. For further information about the risks
and uncertainties that Genmab faces, refer to
the current Form 20-F filed with the SEC.
The use of data, as defined in the Danish Financial
Statements Act, both personal and non-personal, is
essential to fulfilling Genmab’s core purpose; and
Genmab is committed to handling data with integrity
and in an ethical and compliant manner considering
the impact our actions may have on individuals and
society.
Genmab has a policy for Data Ethics in
compliance with Section 99d of the Danish
Financial Statements Act in which Genmab adopted
the Data Ethics principles of the International
Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers &
Associations (IFPMA).
These principles complement and strengthen
already existing Genmab policies and procedures,
and they focus on the following areas:
1.Autonomy:
Respect individuals’ privacy, protect their rights, and
honor confidentiality
2.Transparency:
Individuals should be able to understand how their
personal data is used
3.Data Quality:
The best quality data available should be used to
make decisions
4. Fairness and
Non-discrimination:
Data acquisition should be inclusive, equitable,
and seek to support the industry’s mission of
responding to the needs of all patients
5. Ethics by Design:
Controls to prevent harm and risks to
individuals should be built into the design
of data architecture and data processing
6. Responsible Data
Sharing:
Data sharing should be based on processes
that actively and consistently consider,
prioritize, and protect individual rights
7. Responsibility and
Accountability:
Data Ethics Principles should be
operationalized through effective governance,
clear standards, training, monitoring activities,
and disciplinary sanctions. Genmab will
continue to focus on these principles,
particularly in the areas of data privacy, DE&I,
clinical trials, and the application of new
technologies (e.g., AI and Machine Learning),
where policies, processes, and training
materials will be aligned with the
above-mentioned principles. The Genmab Data
Ethics policy and its principles are anchored in
the Genmab Code of Conduct as part of the
overall Genmab Compliance program.

Business and
Products
The identification and development of successful
products is expensive and includes time-consuming
clinical trials with uncertain outcomes and the risk of
failure to obtain regulatory approval in one or more
jurisdictions.
Genmab has a disciplined approach to investment, focusing on areas with the potential to maximize success, including new
technologies and formats, scaling up to expand from early- to late-stage development and commercialization. Genmab has
established various committees to ensure optimal selection of disease targets and formats of our antibody candidates, and to
monitor progress of preclinical and clinical development. We strive to have a well-balanced product pipeline, continuing to search
for and identify new product candidates, and closely monitoring the market landscape.
Icons for Key_Equal.jpg
Genmab is dependent on the identification and
development of new proprietary technologies and
access to new third-party technologies. This exposes
us to safety issues as well as other failures and
setbacks related to use of such new or existing
technologies.
Genmab strives to identify and develop new antibody-based products that harness new antibody technologies, such as the
DuoBody, HexaBody, DuoHexaBody and HexElect technology platforms, ADC technology, and gain access to competitive and
complementary new third-party technologies. We closely monitor our preclinical programs and clinical trials to mitigate any
unforeseen safety issues or other failures, or setbacks associated with the use of these technology platforms.
Icons for Key_Equal.jpg
Genmab faces ongoing uncertainty about the
successful commercialization of product candidates.
This is a result of factors including immense
competition on the basis of cost and efficacy as well as
rapid technological change, which may result in others
discovering, developing or commercializing competing
products before and/or more successfully than us.
From early in the research phase and throughout development, commercial potential and product commercialization, associated
risks are assessed to ensure that final products have the potential to be commercially viable. Genmab attempts to control
commercial risks in part by regularly monitoring and evaluating current market conditions, competing products and new
technologies, to potentially gain access to new technologies and products that may supplement our pipeline. Genmab also
strives to ensure market exclusivity for its own technologies and products by seeking patent protection. Genmab engages with
patients and caregivers to gather insights and improve patient outcomes.
Icons for Key_Equal.jpg
Genmab’s near- and mid-term prospects are
substantially dependent on continued clinical and
commercial success of DARZALEX.
The impact of DARZALEX patent expirations will have
an adverse impact on Genmab’s future royalty
revenue.
DARZALEX is subject to intense competition in the
multiple myeloma therapy market.
Genmab focuses on its three-pronged strategy of focusing on our core competence, turning science into medicine and building a
profitable and successful biotech to develop a broad pipeline of unique best-in-class or first-in-class antibody products with
significant commercial potential. In addition, Genmab maintains a strong cash position, disciplined financial management, and a
flexible and capital efficient business model to mitigate potential setbacks related to DARZALEX.
To address the impact of DARZALEX Genmab patents expiration, Genmab intends to mitigate this risk through its strong
foundation in science and investments in its late-stage assets EPKINLY, Rina-S and petosemtamab. Genmab manages and
maintains efficient operations through focused prioritization and increased productivity.
Beyond DARZALEX there are six additional medicines in our royalty portfolio that that drive revenue for the Company: Kesimpta,
TEPEZZA, RYBREVANT, TECVAYLI, TALVEY and BIZENGRI.
Icons for Key_Up.jpg
Genmab has exposure to product liability claims related
to the use or misuse of our products and technologies.
Product liability claims and/or litigation could materially affect our business and financial position, and Genmab therefore strives
to maintain internal processes for the review, approval, and compliant use of promotion materials and also maintains appropriate
product liability insurance for our clinical trials and our approved products and other coverage required under applicable laws.
Icons for Key_Equal.jpg
Our core research and manufacturing activities are
carried out at a limited number of locations. Any event
resulting in Genmab’s or our vendors’/suppliers’
inability to operate these facilities could materially
disrupt our business.
Genmab employs oversight and quality risk management principles. In addition, Genmab follows current Good Laboratory
Practices (cGLP) and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and requires that our vendors operate with the same
standards. Genmab’s quality assurance (QA) department ensures that high-quality standards are set and monitors adherence to
these practices.

Risk trend
If we are unable to effectively manage Genmab’s   
fast-paced growth, or maintain our commercialization
and other capabilities at adequate levels, and control
operating costs within the scope of our overall business
as well as properly integrate acquisitions, financial
condition and net profits may be adversely affected.
Any business disruption or failure to properly manage
growth, maintain capabilities and transformation in a
manner that reflects and supports our organizational
strategies and priorities, while assuring ethical business
practices, prudent risk management, and commercial
compliance, could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows.
We have experienced rapid growth over the last several years. We anticipate additional growth as our pipeline advances and we
continue product commercialization activities. Such growth, including maintaining and enabling R&D, commercialization, and
support functions, has placed significant demands on our management and infrastructure, including new operational and
financial systems, as well as extending manufacturing and commercial outsource arrangements. Our success will depend in part
upon our ability to manage and maintain operations and integrate acquisitions effectively through leadership, focused
prioritization, increased productivity and talent management to maintain our values-based, collaborative culture. As we continue
to grow and evolve, we must continuously improve our operational, commercial, compliance, financial and management
practices, and controls.

Genmab is subject to government regulations on
pricing/public reimbursement as well as other
healthcare payer cost-containment initiatives;
increased pressures by governmental and third-party
payers to reduce healthcare costs.
Genmab strives to develop differentiated antibody medicines that bring meaningful impact to patients and health systems and
are well-positioned to secure reasonable price reimbursement by government healthcare programs and private health insurers.
The impact our science has on patients today and in the future, particularly those with few treatment options, drives the value of
our medicines. Genmab’s U.S. Government Affairs & Policy department interacts with U.S. federal and state policymakers to
advance policies aimed at improving patients’ lives through access to quality healthcare and innovative science. Genmab’s U.S.
Market Access department educates payers on the value of our products and works across the healthcare system to help
ensure all appropriate patients gain access to our innovative medicines.

Strategic
Collaborations
Genmab is dependent on existing partnerships with
major pharmaceutical or biotech companies to support
our business and develop and extend the
commercialization of our products.
Our business may suffer if our collaboration partners do not devote sufficient resources to our programs and products, do not
successfully maintain, defend and enforce their intellectual property rights or do not otherwise have the ability to successfully
develop or commercialize our products, independently or in collaboration with others. Our business may also suffer if we are not
able to continue our current collaborations or establish new collaborations. Genmab strives to be an attractive and respected
collaboration partner, and to pursue a close and open dialogue with our collaboration partners to share ideas and align on best
practices and decisions within clinical development and commercial operations to increase the likelihood that we reach our
goals.
Icons for Key_Equal.jpg
Genmab relies on a limited number of manufacturing
organizations (CMO) and individual sites at those
CMOs to produce and supply our product candidates.
Genmab is also dependent on clinical research
organizations to conduct key aspects of our clinical
trials, and on collaboration partners to conduct some of
our clinical trials.
CMOs may be subject to or affected by various U.S.
legislation, executive orders, regulations, or
investigations.
Genmab oversees outsourcing and partnership relationships to ensure consistency with strategic objectives and service provider
compliance with regulatory requirements, resources, and performance. This includes assessment of contingency plans,
availability of alternative service providers and costs and resources required to switch service providers. We continually evaluate
financial solvency and require our suppliers to abide by a code of conduct consistent with Genmab’s Code of Conduct.

Regulation,
Legislation, and
Compliance
Genmab is subject to extensive legislative, regulatory
and other requirements during preclinical and clinical
development, commercialization, and post-marketing
approval, including healthcare, marketing/labeling/
promotion, fraud and abuse, competition/antitrust laws,
and regulations, as well as transparency, privacy and
data protection and other requirements.
Genmab is subject to strict disclosure obligations under
applicable laws and regulations globally, including the
EU Market Abuse Regulation and the U.S. Inflation
Reduction Act (IRA). Being listed on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market, we are subject to additional U.S.
regulatory requirements, including U.S. securities laws
and the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and may
become more exposed to U.S. class actions.
To ensure compliance with applicable healthcare laws and regulations, Genmab has established a compliance program,
including a Code of Conduct that is regularly evaluated and sets high ethical standards on which all colleagues receive regular
training. Genmab also maintains a Speak Up Policy and Hotline for reporting and response to potential misconduct. Our head of
Global Compliance reports directly to the Chief Legal Officer.
Genmab is committed to transparency of clinical trial research and has published our Clinical Trial Transparency Declaration.
Genmab is also committed to ensuring equal access to Genmab clinical trials and that patients participating in our trials are
representative of those living with the disease being studied.
Genmab respects the privacy, protection, and appropriate use of data by ensuring compliance with all applicable privacy
and data protection laws, regulations, and other standards. In support of this commitment, Genmab established its Global Data
Privacy Office supported by a cross-functional team of privacy subject matter experts, including a Data Protection Officer,
who collaborate in the development and maintenance of a forward-looking Global Data Privacy Program that seeks to address
shifts in both the internal and external environments, along with emerging challenges in the privacy and data protection
regulatory landscape. The Program, through its policies, procedures, and centralized guidance for processing personal
data, seeks to drive organizational accountability and empower Genmab colleagues, and our third party partners, to handle
personal data consistent with our values of ethical behavior, integrity, fairness, inclusion, and transparency.
To further support compliance with regulatory, legal, and other requirements applicable to our business and operations, including
cGLP, current Good Clinical Practices (cGCP) and cGMP, Genmab’s QA department is staying abreast of and adhering to

respect to all applicable legislation, regulations, industry codes and practices by means of its internal compliance function and

Intellectual
Property
Genmab is dependent on protecting our own
intellectual property rights to regain our investments
and protect our competitive positions.
We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or
enforce our patents or other intellectual property which
could result in costly litigation and unfavorable
outcomes.
Claims may be asserted against us that we infringe
the intellectual property of third parties, which could
result in costly litigation and unfavorable outcomes.
Genmab files and prosecutes patent applications to optimally protect its products and technologies. To protect trade secrets and
technologies, Genmab maintains strict confidentiality standards and agreements for employees and collaborating parties.

Finances
Genmab may have the inability to satisfy debt
obligations.
Genmab's borrowings include two senior secured term loans, Term Loan A and Term Loan B, with nominal amounts of $1
billion and $2 billion, senior secured notes of $1.5 billion, senior unsecured notes of $1.0 billion as well as access to a revolving
loan facility up to $500 million with a syndicate of lenders, which can be drawn down upon as another source of additional
funding. The credit agreement requires Genmab to comply with certain financial maintenance and other covenants. A breach of
the covenants under the credit agreement and the indentures governing the outstanding notes could result in an event of
default which could result in Genmab having to repay the borrowings before their due dates. Because Genmab’s future
commercial potential and operating profits are hard to predict, Genmab’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to
maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and a continuous advancement of Genmab’s product pipeline and business
in general.
Star New icon.jpg
Genmab is exposed to different kinds of financial risks,
including currency exposure and changes in interest
rates as well as changes in Danish, U.S. or foreign tax
laws or related compliance requirements.
Genmab has established financial risk management guidelines to identify and analyze relevant risks, to set appropriate risk limits
and controls, and to monitor the risks and adherence to limits. Please refer to Note 4.2 of the financial statements for additional
information regarding financial risks.
Icons for Key_Equal.jpg
Management
and Workforce
Genmab may have an inability to attract and retain
suitably qualified team members as it continues to
evolve.
To attract and retain our highly skilled team, including the members of Genmab’s Executive Management, Genmab offers
competitive remuneration packages, including share-based remuneration.
Genmab strives to create a positive, safe, and energizing working environment. Genmab has strong core values that nourish
high-integrity and ethical behavior, respectful and candid tone and a culture which prizes diversity, as well as trust and teamwork.
Genmab has implemented strategies such as diversifying recruitment efforts, cross-training employees, fostering a culture
of knowledge sharing, investing in talent development programs, and promoting a supportive work environment that values
employee well-being and career growth.
Please refer to Note 4.6 of the financial statements for additional information regarding share-based compensation.

Cybersecurity
Genmab may be subject to malicious cyber attacks,
and with the increased use of artificial intelligence
within the biopharmaceutical industry, can lead to
the theft or leakage of intellectual property, sensitive
business data, or personal employee or patient data,
with the result of significant business disruptions,
negative impacts to patient or employee privacy,
monetary loss or fines from authorities, or
reputational damage.
Genmab has implemented security controls and processes to enhance the identification of potential data/systems security
issues and mitigate the risk of security breaches. Genmab makes use of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and other security standards to define and implement such security controls. Due to the
continually changing threat environment, regular assessments are executed to ensure that implemented security controls and
processes follow the threat profile of the Company and effectively support Genmab’s ambitious business strategy. The risk of
security breaches is regarded as enterprise risk and the Company’s threat profile, the security program and security incidents
are presented and discussed in meetings of the Global Compliance and Risk Committee and the Audit and Finance Committee
of the Board.
Genmab’s Cybersecurity Program, in conjunction with Genmab’s Global Data Privacy Program, collaborates to manage and
mitigate any cybersecurity and data privacy threats to the personal data processed in our systems and by our third party
partners.
Icons for Key_Equal.jpg
Environment
Genmab could face transitional risks by its inability
to manage the carbon footprint and energy mix from
our business operations and physical risks from
climate-related events that may impact our business
operations or that of our third-party partners or
suppliers.
Genmab has oversight and manages its carbon footprint Scope 1 and 2 emissions from its business operations. Genmab is
committed to tracking the Scope 3 emissions carbon footprint by partnering with suppliers.
Genmab makes use of scenario analysis to evaluate risks and opportunities due to the rapid pace of world climate change.
Genmab’s work with climate strategy, carbon reduction targets, climate-related financial risk, relevant prevention, and mitigation
measures are presented to and reviewed by the Board biannually.
Refer to the sustainability statements for details of Genmab’s targets in the future to mitigate risks.
Icons for Key_Equal.jpg
Corporate Governance
Genmab works diligently to improve
its guidelines and policies for
corporate governance, taking
into account the recent trends
in international and domestic
requirements and recommendations.
Genmab’s commitment to corporate
governance is based on ethics and
integrity and forms the basis of its
effort to strengthen the confidence
that existing and future shareholders,
partners, employees, and other
stakeholders have in Genmab.
The role of shareholders and their
interaction with Genmab is important.
Genmab believes that open and
transparent communication is
necessary to maintain the confidence
of Genmab’s shareholders and
achieves this through company
announcements, investor meetings
and company presentations. Genmab
is committed to providing reliable
and transparent information about
its business, financial results,
development programs and scientific
results in a clear and timely manner.
All Danish companies listed on the Nasdaq
Copenhagen are required to disclose in their annual
reports how they address the Recommendations for
Corporate Governance issued by the Committee on
Corporate Governance in December 2020 (the
“Recommendations”), applying the “comply-or-
explain” principle.
Genmab follows the Recommendations, except
for one specific sub-area where Genmab’s
corporate governance principles differ from
the Recommendations. The Recommendations
provide that according to a company’s takeover
contingency procedures, the Board abstains from
countering any takeover bids by taking actions that
seek to prevent the shareholders from deciding on
the takeover bid, without the approval of the
general meeting. Genmab does not have such a
restriction in its takeover contingency procedures
and retains the right in certain circumstances to
reject takeover bids without consulting the
shareholders. Genmab believes this provides the
Board with the needed flexibility to best respond to
takeover bids and to negotiate with bidders;
retaining this flexibility helps the Board meet its
objectives in protecting and creating value in the
interest of the shareholders. Actions will be
determined on a case-by-case basis with due
consideration of the interests of the shareholders
and other stakeholders.
Genmab publishes its statutory report on Corporate
Governance for the financial year 2025 cf.
Article 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act
(“Lovpligtig redegørelse for virksomhedsledelse jf.
årsregnskabslovens § 107 b”) on the Company’s
website, including a detailed description of the
Board’s consideration in respect of all the
Recommendations. The statutory report on
Corporate Governance can be found on Genmab’s
website ir.genmab.com/corporate governance.
The Board of Directors
The Board is responsible for setting the overall
strategy and goals for Genmab and monitoring
its operations and results. Board duties include
establishing policies for strategy, accounting,
organization and finance and the appointment of
Executive Management members. The Board also
assesses Genmab’s capital and share structure
and is responsible for approving share issues
and the grant of warrants and RSUs.
The Board has established an annual process
whereby the Board’s performance is assessed
through self-evaluation to verify that the
Board is capable of fulfilling its function
and responsibilities. When performing these
evaluations external assistance is obtained
every year. The outcome of the Board‘s 2025
self-assessment was positive with only minor areas
for improvement identified.
Board Committees
To support the Board in its duties, the Board has
established and appointed a Compensation
Committee, an Audit and Finance Committee, a
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
and a Scientific Committee. These committees are
charged with reviewing issues pertaining to their
respective fields that are due to be considered
at Board meetings. Written charters specifying
the tasks and responsibilities for each of the
committees are available on Genmab’s website
genmab.com.
For more details on the work, composition and
evaluation of the Board and its committees,
reference is made to the statutory report on
Corporate Governance.
Remuneration Policy
A Remuneration Policy applying to the
compensation of members of the Board and the
registered Executive Management of Genmab A/S
has been prepared in accordance with Sections
139 and 139a of the Danish Companies Act
and was most recently considered and adopted
by the 2025 Annual General Meeting pursuant
to the Danish Companies Act (in Danish
“Selskabsloven”). The Remuneration Policy
contains an comprehensive description of the
remuneration components for members of the
Board and the registered Executive Management
and includes the reasons for choosing the individual
components of the remuneration and a description
of the criteria on which the balance between the
individual components of the remuneration is
based. The latest version can be downloaded from
Genmab’s website ir.genmab.com/compensation.
Compensation Report
In accordance with Section 139b of the
Danish Companies Act, Genmab has prepared
a compensation report for the financial year
2025 that includes information on the total
remuneration received by each member of the
Board and the registered Executive Management of
Genmab A/S for the last five years, including
information on the most important content of
retention and resignation arrangements and
the correlation between the remuneration and
company strategy and relevant related goals
(the “Compensation Report”). The Compensation
Report can be found on Genmab’s website
ir.genmab.com/compensation.
Corporate Governance
Change of control
The Danish Financial Statements Act
(Section 107a) contains rules relating to listed
companies with respect to certain disclosures
that may be of interest to the stock market and
potential takeover bidders, in particular in relation to
disclosure of change of control provisions. In the
event of a change of control, change of control
clauses are included in some of our collaboration,
development, and license agreements as well as in
service agreements for certain employees.
Collaboration, Development and
License Agreements
Genmab has entered into collaboration,
development and license agreements with external
parties, which may be subject to renegotiation in
the case of a change of control event as specified
in the individual agreements. However, any
changes in the agreements are not expected to
have a significant impact on our financial position.
Service Agreements with Executive
Management and Employees
The service agreements with each registered member
of the Executive Management may be terminated by
Genmab with no less than 12 months’ notice and by
the registered member of the Executive Management
with no less than six months’ notice. In the event of a
change of control of Genmab, the termination notice
due to the registered member of the Executive
Management is extended to 24 months. In the event of
termination by Genmab (unless for cause) or by a
registered member of Executive Management as a
result of a change of control of Genmab, Genmab is
obliged to pay a registered member of Executive
Management a compensation equal to his/her existing
total salary (including benefits) for up to two years in
addition to the notice period.
In addition, Genmab has entered into service
agreements with a limited number of employees
according to which Genmab may become obliged
to compensate the employees in connection with a
change of control of Genmab. If Genmab, as a
result of a change of control, terminates the service
agreement without cause or changes the working
conditions to the detriment of the employee, the
employee shall be entitled to terminate the
employment relationship without further cause with
one month’s notice in which case Genmab shall
pay the employee a compensation equal to one-
half, one or two times the employee’s existing
annual salary (including benefits).
Change of control clauses related to our warrant
and RSU programs are outlined in Note 4.6.
Share capital
Information on share capital is included in Note 4.7.
Unless otherwise provided in the
Danish Companies Act, the adoption of any
resolution to amend Genmab A/S’s articles of
association shall be subject to the affirmative
vote of not less than two thirds of the votes cast, as
well as of the voting share capital represented at
the general meeting. Genmab A/S’s entire articles
of association can be found on our website
genmab.com.

Basis for presentation
General basis for preparation of the
sustainability statement (BP-1)
Frameworks
This 2025 annual report marks Genmab’s second
year reporting in accordance with the European
Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), as
required under section 99a of the Danish Financial
Statements Act. For EU Taxonomy reporting,
Genmab has opted to apply the amended EU
Taxonomy legislation, Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2026/73 amending the Delegated
Regulations (EU) 2021/2178, (EU) 2021/2139 and
(EU) 2023/2486.
Consolidation
The sustainability statements have been
prepared on a consolidated basis in line with
our consolidated financial statements; therefore, the
disclosures comprise the Genmab A/S (parent
company) and its subsidiaries. The E1 disclosures
in particular have been consolidated on the basis of
both financial and operational control. The
sustainability statements cover Genmab’s
own operations and upstream and downstream
value chains, where material, specifically regarding
disclosures around impacts, risks and opportunities
(IROs), policies, actions, targets and metrics. We
have applied transitional provisions relating to some
value chain information.
Refer to the topical sections for additional
information.
Genmab has not omitted any specific pieces of
information corresponding to intellectual property,
know-how or the results of innovation nor used
the exemption from disclosure of impending
developments or matters in the course of negotiation.
On December 12, 2025, Genmab completed the
acquisition of Merus, a clinical-stage biotech
developing multispecific antibodies. The impact
of the acquisition has been deemed immaterial for
sustainability reporting and is not included in our
sustainability statements, except as noted in the
E1-6 table for Scope 3 GHG emissions and EU
Taxonomy tables.
Disclosures in relation to specific
circumstances (BP-2)
Disclosures Stemming from
Other Regulation
Genmab’s sustainability statements also comply
with sections 99d, 107(d) and 107(f) of the
Danish Financial Statements Act.
Refer to Appendix A for a complete overview.
Accounting Policies
Genmab’s accounting policies have been applied,
in all material respects, consistently in the financial
year and for comparative figures.
Key Accounting Estimates and
Judgements
Genmab uses estimates and judgements for the
reporting of certain data points related to our Scope
3 emissions, which are detailed in the relevant
accounting policies. Quantifying GHG emissions
inherently involves significant uncertainty due to the
complexity of natural and anthropogenic systems.
Measurement challenges arise from factors such as
variability in emissions sources, accuracy of data
and assumptions in emission factors. We regularly
reassess our use of estimates and judgements
based on experience, the development of
sustainability reporting, and a number of other
factors. Changes in estimates are recognized in the
period in which the estimate in question is revised.
In addition, we make judgements when we apply the
accounting policies.
Refer to the quantitative data tables in
the sustainability statements for further information
on accounting policies, key estimates, judgements,
and assumptions applied.
Incorporation by Reference
Genmab’s Management’s Review includes the
sustainability statements, which address ESRS
disclosure requirements. The sustainability
statements are structured into five sections:
General Information, Environmental, Social,
Governance and Appendix A. Certain strategy
and governance disclosures under ESRS 2 are
presented outside the sustainability statements but
are included in the Management’s Review to align
with the Financial Review and business overview.
Any information incorporated by reference from
outside the sustainability statements is clearly
indicated. Forward-looking information, including
disclosed targets, is subject to uncertainty.
Phase-in Provisions
Genmab has opted to apply all relevant phase-in
provisions for material topics introduced by the
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/4812 ("Quick
Fix"). Accordingly, Genmab's phase-in approach
remains consistent with that of 2024, as the
regulation extended the previously available phase-
in options.
Changes in accounting policies and
comparative figures
Genmab has restated certain figures in E1-5
Energy consumption and mix and E1-6 Gross
Scopes 1, 2 and 3 and total GHG emissions and
revised the accounting policies related to leased
vehicles. Refer to the sections for further details.
1.2
Governance
The role of the administrative,
management and supervisory
bodies (GOV-1), and information
provided to, and sustainability
matters addressed by the
undertaking’s administrative,
management and supervisory
bodies (GOV-2)
Sustainability governance at Genmab is embedded
in the overall corporate governance framework and
supports the integration of sustainable practices
across the business. Clear roles and
responsibilities are defined at the Board, executive,
and operational levels.
Board of Directors
The Board (comprising 9 non-executive members
and 0 executive members) oversees Genmab’s
sustainability strategy and performance, ensuring
alignment with long-term business goals and
stakeholder expectations. The Board receives
updates on CSR and sustainability at least annually
and oversees material IROs, as well as targets. Of
the full Board, five members (56%) were
independent, and four (44%) were non-
independent. Anders Gersel Pedersen is
considered non-independent due to his tenure
since 2003. All three employee-elected board
members are considered non-independent.
Refer to S1-9 Board diversity metrics.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee provides oversight of corporate
governance, CSR, ESG, and sustainability matters
and makes related recommendations to the Board.
The Audit and Finance Committee oversees
sustainability reporting compliance.
Sustainability Statements
Executive and Management
Structure
The sustainability statements are approved
annually by Executive Management (9 executive
members, 0 non-executive members who are
Genmab’s top management) and the Board.
Executive Management brings deep expertise
in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and life sciences
sectors, including ESG matters. External experts
and consultants are engaged to support materiality
assessments and environmental disclosures.
See the “Board of Directors” and “Executive
Management” sections in the Management’s
Review for further detail.
Genmab’s CSR & Sustainability Committee,
co-chaired by the CEO and SVP of Global
Communications and Corporate Affairs, includes
senior leaders from R&D, commercial operations,
compliance & risk, legal, HR, and finance.
The committee defines strategic priorities,
and oversees material IROs, targets, and
progress toward sustainability goals.
Supporting this structure is the Corporate
Sustainability Team, responsible for executing
the DMA, identifying material IROs, setting and
tracking targets, and collecting data for reporting.
The team works closely with functional leads across
the business to integrate sustainability into day-to-
day operations.
Business Conduct and Stakeholder
Engagement
Leaders of Genmab’s Global Compliance,
Data Privacy, and Enterprise Risk Management
Programs report directly to the Chief Legal Officer
and the Board on business conduct matters.
Genmab engages regularly with stakeholders
through reports, presentations, and engagement
sessions. Feedback is incorporated to align
initiatives with stakeholder expectations and
societal needs.
Refer to the “Corporate Governance” section
in Management’s Review for additional information
on governance structure and SBM-3 for the list of
the material IROs.
Sustainability-related performance
in incentive schemes (GOV-3)
Per Genmab’s Remuneration Policy, the variable
compensation of Executive Management is based
on predefined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
and performance goals related to Genmab A/S’s
short- and long-term business results. These KPIs,
which may be financial, operational, strategic,
or organizational, are aligned with Genmab’s
business strategy and annual plans. They are
recommended by the Compensation Committee
and approved by the Board.
Genmab grants restricted stock units (RSUs) to
Executive Management which are performance-
based and include sustainability-related
performance goals. RSUs granted to the Board
are not performance-based and do not include
sustainability-related performance goals.
Sustainability KPIs for Executive Management are
tied to Climate and Employee Well-Being targets,
weighted at 10% of total performance goals for
the 2025, 2024 and 2023 grants. Share-based
compensation granted is at a 4x target multiplier
with maximum opportunity of 6x multiplier with
no cap in 2025, 2024 and 2023. In 2025, Genmab
removed gender diversity targets from Executive
Management performance criteria for the 2024 and
2023 grants.

Risk management and internal controls over sustainability reporting
(GOV-5)
Genmab identifies and assesses sustainability-related risks primarily through its CSR & Sustainability
Committee and Enterprise Risk Program. Clear governance supports our overall risk management
framework. The Board oversees, and Executive Management is responsible for, sustainability-related
risk management and internal controls.
Genmab evaluates how such risks may affect operations, reputation, and financial performance,
and has implemented processes to ensure the accuracy and traceability of sustainability data.
Our reporting aligns with recognized frameworks to support consistency, comparability, and stakeholder
relevance. Internal and external audits are conducted to assess compliance with sustainability
reporting controls. Genmab’s Internal Audit function reports to the Audit and Finance Committee and
administratively to the CFO, with findings communicated at least annually. The Corporate Sustainability
Team integrates risk assessment outcomes and internal controls regarding sustainability reporting
into relevant processes and maintains controls and
documentation for identifying material IROs under
the DMA. Genmab’s external auditor provides
limited assurance on Genmab’s sustainability
statements.
Training is provided to employees on sustainability-
related risks and reporting responsibilities to
promote accountability and support reporting
integrity.
Refer to the Risk Management section in
Management’s Review for the followed risk
assessment approach including the risk
prioritization methodology, details of risks identified
and mitigation strategies, and related controls.

Material impacts, risks, and
opportunities and how they interact
with our strategy and business
model (SBM-3)
The table outlines Genmab’s material IROs
identified through our DMA indicating where these
IROs are concentrated within our business model,
own operations, and value chain, and whether
impacts are positive or negative.
Further details on our responses to these IROs—
including links to our sustainability strategy,
business model, expected time horizons, and
business relationships—are provided in the
Environmental, Social, and Governance sections.
There is no identified significant risk of material
adjustments to asset or liability values in the next
annual reporting period related to these IROs.
Genmab has no material investment or disposal
plans, nor specific funding arrangements currently
linked to our material IROs or sustainability
strategy.

During the reporting period, Genmab reviewed
and refined the presentation of its IROs. As part of
this exercise, IRO naming and categorization were
updated to improve clarity and consistency of
documentation. These updates were editorial in
nature and did not result in any changes to the
underlying content or substance of the IROs.
The DMA methodology and outcomes remain
unchanged. In addition, Genmab reassessed the
materiality of IROs related to opportunities. Based
on this review, the number of opportunity-related
IROs was reduced, reflecting a more focused
articulation of those opportunities that are assessed
as material. This refinement did not change
Genmab’s overall material topics or strategic
priorities but improves the clarity and relevance of
the disclosed information.

Risk
The identification and development of successful products is expensive and includes time-consuming clinical trials with uncertain
outcomes and the risk of failure to obtain regulatory approval in one or more jurisdictions.
Access and inclusion in
clinical trials
Potential
Negative
Impact
Persistent inequities in cancer incidence and care continue to drive underrepresentation in clinical research. Expanding access
for underrepresented groups ensures Genmab’s trials reflect real-world patients and generate more representative safety and
efficacy data.
Regulation, Legislation,
and Compliance
Risk
Genmab is subject to extensive legislative, regulatory, and other requirements during preclinical and clinical development,
commercialization, and post-marketing approval, including healthcare, marketing/labeling/promotion, fraud and abuse,
competition/antitrust laws, and regulations, as well as transparency, privacy, and data protection and other requirements.
Responsible and
ethical marketing
Potential
Negative
Impact
Without responsible, ethical marketing, patients and healthcare professionals could receive incomplete or misleading information
about Genmab’s therapies. This could undermine trust in our science, contributing to improper medicine use, and negatively
affect patient well-being. It can also distort treatment decisions and harm the integrity of the broader healthcare ecosystem.

materiality. This considers both impact materiality—
how Genmab’s activities affect people and
the environment—and financial materiality—
how sustainability matters may pose risks or
opportunities for Genmab. In 2024, Genmab
conducted its first DMA to inform our sustainability
reporting. In 2025, our DMA was updated and
supports the continued integration of sustainability
into our business operations. The methodology,
findings, and updates were reviewed and approved
by Executive Management, the Board, and relevant
Committees.
Refer to GOV-1 and GOV-2 for further details on
the governance structure with regard to
sustainability.
Scope
The DMA covers Genmab A/S and its subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis as well as the relevant
upstream and downstream value chain.
Material Topics
In 2025, the DMA output resulted in four material
topics across ESRS standards E1, S1, S4, and G1
which is consistent with the prior year.
Non-Material Topics
Genmab screened site locations, assets, and
business activities across Denmark, the
Netherlands, the US, Japan, and China. Based
on analysis of our operations and value chain,
internal stakeholder feedback, and supporting
workshops and deep-dive sessions, topics under
ESRS E2, E3, E4, E5, S1 (other work-related
rights), S2, S3, and G1 (political engagement and
lobbying) were concluded to be not material from
both an impact and financial perspective. For
E4, no detailed IRO analysis was performed
given the consistent outcome of the screening.
The process used to conduct the DMA and
the basis for determining material topics are
described below.

Value Chain Analysis and Stakeholder
Selection
Genmab began the DMA by mapping its value
chain and identifying key stakeholders across
operations and the broader value chain. Desk
research, including peer reviews and industry
relevance analysis, informed the initial long list
of topics. Internal stakeholders from all major
functions and global locations were engaged
to ensure full ESRS topic coverage. External
stakeholders were selected from key groups,
including patient associations, investors, partners,
life science industry organizations, and civil society.
Their input, combined with internal perspectives,
provided critical insights to inform the DMA.
Long List and Validation
A long list of potential material topics was
developed based on ESRS 1 (Application
Requirement 16), supplemented by insights
from the value chain and stakeholder analyses,
relevant regulatory frameworks, and peer
benchmarking. Both impact and financial materiality
were assessed using surveys, interviews, and
workshops. This multi-method approach ensured
broad stakeholder coverage and allowed for
refinement of results. Surveys generated initial
scoring from a wide audience. Internal and external
interviews—conducted before and after the
workshops—provided expert input to validate and
contextualize findings.
Double Materiality Methodology
The ESRS requires companies to assess topics
that are material from both an impact and/or
financial perspective.
Impact Materiality
In line with ESRS 1 and international standards
including the United Nations Guiding Principles on
Business and Human Rights (UNGP) and the
Organization for Economic Co-Operation and
Development (OECD) Guidelines, Genmab
assessed impacts based on severity—defined by
scale, scope, and irremediability. Each factor was
rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with an average score
calculated. Irremediability was not scored for
positive impacts. For potential impacts, likelihood
was rated from 0 to 1. For actual impacts, likelihood
was set at 1. In the case of potential negative
human rights impacts, severity was prioritized over
likelihood, as prescribed by ESRS.
Additional ESRS-required indicators included:
(i)the topic’s location in the value chain
(own operations, upstream, or downstream),
(ii)whether the impact is actual or potential,
(iii)positive or negative nature of the impact, and
(iv)relevant time horizon (short, medium, or
long term)
All long listed topics were assessed using these
indicators. A topic was considered material from an
impact perspective if its average score exceeded a
defined threshold—set one full point above the
overall average on the five-point scale.
Financial Materiality
In preparing the long list and during workshops,
Genmab evaluated how sustainability-related
impacts and dependencies could give rise to
risks or opportunities for the business. These
discussions informed the financial materiality
assessment.
The scoring approach mirrors that of impact
materiality but focuses on risks and opportunities.
Each was rated based on magnitude (scale of
1 to 5) and likelihood (scale of 0 to 1). Additional
indicators included time horizon and location in the
value chain.
To identify financially material topics, we applied
a relative threshold—one point above the average
financial materiality score on the five-point scale.
Final determinations also considered qualitative
and quantitative factors, as well as Genmab’s
financial statement materiality level.
Validation
Survey results were reviewed with internal
stakeholders during workshops and deep-dive
sessions, allowing for refinement and clarification
where needed. To further validate and align the
DMA outcomes, findings were shared with external
stakeholders and supplemented by interviews with
internal subject matter experts. All identified
sustainability-related risks were previously captured
within Genmab’s Enterprise Risk Management
(ERM) framework and continue to be monitored,
updated, and prioritized alongside other
enterprise risks.
Action
Throughout the DMA review process, Genmab
advanced the integration of material topics into our
business by setting meaningful targets and
establishing related data collection processes.
Our Corporate Sustainability Team will continue
to monitor performance and maintain an up-to-date
DMA, including in response to acquisitions or other
significant business changes.
The final DMA for 2025 was approved and adopted
by the Board in connection with the filing of this
Annual Report.
Disclosure Requirements in ESRS
Covered by the Sustainability Statement
(IRO-2)
Based on the outcomes of the DMA, Genmab
compiled a list of ESRS disclosure requirements,
with corresponding page and paragraph references.
These are presented as content indexes in the
General, Environmental, Social, and Governance

Genmab’s Resilience to
Climate Change
Genmab's resilience analysis was conducted
qualitatively in 2025, incorporating climate
scenarios based on key reports from authoritative
bodies such as the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) and the International
Energy Agency (IEA). The analysis was conducted
by assessing climate-related risks and opportunities
across Genmab’s entire value chain, including
supply chains, operations, energy consumption,
and logistics.
This resilience analysis helps inform Genmab’s
strategic planning, risk management, and financial
planning processes, ensuring that climate-related
risks and opportunities are integrated into the
Company’s ERM framework.
Genmab utilized three scenarios to explore
potential transition and physical risks: a Net-Zero
Emission by 2050 scenario at a Paris Agreement
aligned 1.5°C, Announced Pledges scenario at
1.7-2°C and Stated Policies, a high emissions
scenario at 2.4-3°C warming levels, considering
both short-term (within 1 year), medium-term (2030)
and long-term (2050) time horizons in alignment
with Genmab’s strategic planning horizons and its
GHG emissions reduction targets.
The Net-Zero Emission by 2050 (1.5°C) scenario
assumes a transition to a low-carbon economy in
line with global climate targets. This scenario
evaluates risks and opportunities arising from
regulatory actions such as carbon taxation, low-
carbon technology adoption, and evolving
consumer preferences toward sustainability.
The Announced Pledges (1.7-2°C) scenario is
marked by uneven decarbonization efforts
across regions and markets. This divergence
increases transition risks, particularly for global
companies operating across jurisdictions with
differing climate commitments.
The Stated Policies (2.4-3°C) scenario
represents a business-as-usual pathway with
high emissions and limited global mitigation
efforts, leading to more severe physical risks
such as extreme weather events, flooding,
and disruptions to supply chains.
The key assumptions for the resilience analysis
include the transition to a low-carbon economy,
macroeconomic trends, energy consumption and
mix, technology deployment and time horizons.
Based on the scenario analysis, Genmab identified
several potential physical risks, transition risks and
opportunities for all three scenarios across short,
medium and long-term time frames. The identified
physical and transition risks and opportunities were
evaluated based on likelihood and magnitude of
financial impact to Genmab’s operations and taking
into account Genmab’s physical geographical
locations at the time of conducting the analysis. No
aspects of Genmab’s business were identified as
incompatible with a transition to a climate neutral
economy.
Key transition risks to Genmab’s business
activities identified in the scenarios: Loss of
market access due to net-zero healthcare and
high costs from investments in green/resource
efficient technology. Other risks considered were
global carbon taxation and pricing impacting
costs and financial returns, investor focus on
climate performance limiting access to capital
and investment, and cost of compliance with
fragmented and drastic regulatory intervention.
Key potential physical risks to Genmab’s
business activities and assets identified in
the scenarios: Disruption of supply chain
and operations from extreme weather events,
increased cooling costs from more frequent and
severe heat waves, operations and supply chain
disruption from coastal flooding and damage
to physical assets and inventory.
Genmab has set a science-aligned emissions
reduction target in line with the Paris Agreement,
aimed at reducing its GHG emissions in line with
the global goal to limit warming to 1.5°C. This target
plays a critical role in mitigating both transition and
potential physical risks by guiding risk mitigation,
reducing exposure to physical risks and enhancing
resilience to market shifts.
Uncertainties within the resilience analysis included
climate projections under the scenarios and
regulatory evolution over time.
Genmab’s resilience analysis, underpinned by
qualitative scenario analysis and guided by a
science-aligned emissions reduction target,
highlights Genmab’s preparedness by adapting our
strategy for climate-related risks in the medium and
long term. The science-aligned emissions reduction
target offers a clear pathway for mitigating these
risks while also seizing opportunities associated
with the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Through its ongoing commitment to sustainability,
Genmab is not only reducing its exposure to climate
risks but also positioning itself for long-term
business success in an increasingly climate-
conscious world.
2.0
Climate Change Strategy
Transition plan for climate change
mitigation (E1-1)
Genmab addresses climate change through a
developing transition plan that sets science-aligned
targets for our operations and outlines actions to
reduce emissions. Climate-related risks and
opportunities are identified and assessed through
our resilience analysis, which covers both our
operations and value chain. Aligned with the Paris
Agreement’s 1.5°C goal, our GHG emissions
reduction targets currently apply to Scope 1
and 2 emissions, while we continue to advance
initiatives to address value chain (Scope 3)
impacts. To achieve our targets, we focus on:
Collaborating with suppliers and partners to drive
value chain decarbonization,
Sourcing renewable electricity (solar, wind,
hydro, or geothermal), and
Promoting behavioral changes to reduce
emissions from labs, travel, and commuting.
Our developing transition plan should be regarded
as a dynamic and iterative framework that will
continue to evolve to reflect progress in data
quality, methodological innovation, and the
changing regulatory and market landscape.
The plan is subject to review and oversight through
our sustainability governance model.

We expanded the use of renewable electricity to additional
Genmab sites globally to advance our target of reducing
Scope 2 emissions. Specifically, we began sourcing
renewable electricity by use of unbundled renewable
energy certificates at our sites in China during 2025.
Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market-based)
emissions by 42% through a reduction in Scope 2
emissions by 2030 from a 2024 base year.2
Reduce Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) emissions
by 90% by 2050 from a 2024 base year
In progress for both targets. We plan to continue using energy
attribute certificates (EACs) as the primary decarbonization
lever to reduce Scope 2 emissions to achieve our 2030
GHG emissions reduction target. Additional levers are under
investigation, and their quantitative impacts will be disclosed
when available.

Sustainability Statements
Accounting Policies
Scope 1 GHG Emissions
Scope 1 GHG emissions are direct emissions from sources under Genmab’s financial or operational
control at its offices, laboratories and leased vehicles. These emissions result primarily from fuel
combustion and refrigerant leakage and are reported in CO₂ equivalents (CO2eq) using the 2025
DEFRA conversion factors.
Scope 2 GHG Emissions
Scope 2 GHG emissions are indirect emissions from purchased electricity and district heating used across
Genmab’s offices and laboratories. Location-based and market-based GHG emissions are calculated using
consumed energy multiplied with either supplier-specific emission factors or national factors from the
International Energy Agency (IEA, 2023) and Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB, 2024). Renewable energy
purchases and certificates are considered when accounting for GHG emissions, using the market-based
approach.
Scope 3 GHG Emissions
Genmab reports on six of the 15 Scope 3 GHG categories defined by the GHG Protocol; the remaining
nine are either not applicable or not material. All Scope 3 emissions are currently estimated using
secondary data.
Category 1 – Purchased goods and services
Purchased goods and services include GHG emissions related to all spend from external suppliers, except
for investment (CapEx), travel, and transportation and distribution spend, which are included in other
Scope 3 categories. Spend is converted into CO2eq emissions using the spend-based method by applying
the Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model with U.S. EPA emission factors (2024) to
estimate GHG emissions (CO2eq).
Category 2 – Capital goods
Capital goods include GHG emissions related to investments in tangible assets (CapEx). Spend is
converted into CO2eq emissions using the spend-based method by applying the Environmentally Extended
Input-Output (EEIO) model with U.S. EPA emission factors (2024) to estimate GHG emissions (CO2eq).
Category 3 – Fuel and energy-related activities
Fuel and energy-related activities include all upstream Well-to-Tank (WTT) CO2eq emissions of purchased
fuel and electricity and Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Loss of purchased electricity (beyond Scope 1
and 2 GHG emissions). Electricity and fuel consumption are multiplied by DEFRA's emission factors (2025
for fuel and 2021 for electricity) to estimate GHG emissions (CO2eq). The category primarily comprises
upstream WTT and T&D emissions from electricity and WTT emissions from natural gas.
Category 4 – Upstream transportation and distribution
Upstream transportation and distribution include GHG emissions related to spend from external suppliers
related to transportation and distribution of goods. Spend is converted into CO2eq emissions using the
spend-based method by applying the Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO) model with U.S. EPA
emission factors (2024) to estimate GHG emissions (CO2eq).
Category 6 – Business travel
Business travel includes GHG emissions related to spend from external suppliers related to flights, ground
transportation, hotel stays and meals in connection with business travel. Spend is converted into CO2eq
emissions using the spend-based method by applying the Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO)
model with U.S. EPA emission factors (2024) to estimate GHG emissions (CO2eq).
Category 7 – Employee Commuting
Employee commuting includes GHG emissions related to employees’ commuting between their homes and
the Genmab sites. GHG emissions are estimated using the average data method and based on
assumptions across our locations.

EU Taxonomy
Reporting according to the EU
Taxonomy
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system
designed to provide a framework for identifying
sustainable economic activities. It helps companies
and investors distinguish between activities that
contribute to environmental sustainability by
establishing a common language for defining
what constitutes "green" or sustainable business
practices. The EU Taxonomy plays a role in
supporting the transition towards a more
sustainable economy.
In line with the amended EU Taxonomy legislation,
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/73
amending the Delegated Regulations (EU)
2021/2178, (EU) 2021/2139 and (EU) 2023/2486,
Genmab is required to report on the sustainability
profile of its activities, specifically focusing on the
eligibility and alignment of its Turnover, Capital
Expenditures (CapEx) and Operating Expenditures
(OpEx).
Eligibility
We screened our economic activities against those
outlined in the Taxonomy, identifying eligible
Turnover, CapEx and OpEx.
Turnover - We assessed turnover based on the
net product sales of pharmaceutical products.
We concluded that turnover from the sale of
EPKINLY and Tivdak qualifies under the
Manufacture of Medicinal Products (#1.2)
activity, in line with the Taxonomy criteria
for Pollution Prevention and Control (PPC).
CapEx - Our assessment focused on
investments that align with Taxonomy-eligible
activities. We identified eligible activity under
Renovation of Buildings (#7.2) in line with the
Taxonomy criteria for Climate Change Mitigation
(CCM).
OpEx - We evaluated the eligibility of our OpEx
by reviewing the eligible economic activities
outlined in our Income Statement and examining
the data available to us from our ERP system.
Based on this evaluation, we did not identify
eligible OpEx.
Page 55.jpg
Alignment
We assessed whether any of our Taxonomy-eligible
Turnover or CapEx for economic activities 1.2 and
7.2 could be considered Taxonomy-aligned;
however, we were not able to obtain enough
evidence to conclude alignment with the
'Substantial contribution' and 'Do No Significant
Harm' (DNSH) criteria.
Accounting Policies
Turnover
Total Turnover consists of total revenue as
disclosed in Note 2.1 in the consolidated financial
statements. The Turnover KPI represents the ratio
of net product sales from taxonomy-eligible or
taxonomy-aligned economic activities to the
total revenue in a fiscal year.
CapEx
Total CapEx consists of additions to intangible
assets, tangible assets and right-of-use assets
during the fiscal year (refer to Notes 3.1, 3.2
and 3.3, respectively) and considered before
depreciation, amortization, and any re-
measurements, including those resulting from
revaluations and impairments, for the relevant
financial year, excluding any fair value changes.
Furthermore, total CapEx consists of any additions
to tangible and intangible assets resulting from
business combinations. The CapEx KPI represents
the share of CapEx that is taxonomy-eligible or
taxonomy-aligned divided by the total CapEx.
OpEx
Total OpEx includes direct non-capitalized

Genmab is committed to improving the lives of
patients and caregivers by developing innovative
treatments that transform cancer care and address
serious diseases. We prioritize understanding
patient needs and ensuring that their insights
guide our research, development and
commercialization efforts.
Our workforce is central to our success.
The Genmab Commitment anchors our culture
and reflects our vision, purpose, and core values.
Genmab team members, or full-time equivalents
(FTEs) are defined as all employees on our payroll,
both full-time and part-time, as well as those on-
leave, measured by reflecting the proportion of
an FTE they represent based on their contractual
agreement. Non-employees include contingent
workers and consultants provided by third parties
for employment.
We focus on attracting and retaining individuals
who align with our mission to improve patient
outcomes. Our culture emphasizes teamwork,
respect and inclusivity across all global
locations. We believe that workplace inclusivity—
encompassing social, educational, cultural,
national, age, and gender differences—is crucial for
our continued success. By hiring individuals with
the right skills and fostering collaborative teams,
Genmab strengthens its ability to deliver lasting
impact in healthcare, ultimately benefiting the
patients and communities we serve.

Processes for engaging with own workers and workers’ representatives
about impacts (S1-2)
Genmab fosters ongoing dialogue between employees and Management through Human Resources
business partners, the Danish Employee Representative Council, and the Dutch Works Council. In
Denmark, employees elect three Board representatives and meet annually to raise concerns. In the
Netherlands, the Works Council meets annually, provides consent on daily work matters, and is consulted
on major organizational changes. In addition to the Councils, in other regions, employee engagement is
supported via surveys, inclusion networks, development dialogues, employee-elected board positions, and
town hall updates. The Chief People Officer and Human Resources oversee engagement with employees
and their representatives.
Processes to remediate negative impacts and channels for own workers to
raise concerns (S1-3)
While we have not identified any material negative impacts involving our workforce, we encourage
employees to raise concerns, share feedback, report compliance issues, and discuss ethical dilemmas.
This supports a culture of openness, transparency, and accountability. Concerns may be reported to
immediate managers or Human Resources, who monitor and escalate matters as appropriate. In addition,
employees have access to our 24/7 Speak Up (whistleblower) hotline.
Refer to the Global Speak Up Policy in S1-1 and on our website. Refer to G1-1 for details of Genmab’s
anti-retaliation policies and procedures and how Genmab tracks and monitors issues raised.

Stakeholder Involvement
Employee well-

Provide a voice
to employees
through our
global
engagement
survey
Annual Employee Engagement Survey: Provided employees with a
meaningful voice through our annual survey, offering insights into key areas
such as career development, innovation, leadership, and the work
environment.
Global Well-Being: Strengthened our well-being pillars—emotional, financial,
physical, and social—by supporting mental health and resilience; promoting
financial security through initiatives such as Global Money Week; offering on-
site and virtual fitness options; and fostering community connection. We also
expanded our Global Well-Being Programs, providing additional workshops
and resources focused on financial planning, work–life balance, and holistic
self-care.
Emotional and Mental Health: Continued offering programs and local
resources to support emotional and mental well-being. We announced
the launch of a new global resource through Spring Health—providing care
navigation, coaching, in-person and virtual therapy, self-guided digital
exercises, and educational content—which will be available to all employees
beginning January 2026.
Volunteering: Organized events throughout the year to connect with
each other and our communities. In 2025, 770 team members volunteered
3,135 hours on Global Volunteer Day compared to 688 team members and
2,952 hours in 2024.
Work-life Balance: Continued offering four additional days off and four
meeting-free days annually, alongside paid time off, leave-of-absence policies,
and family-related leave for all full-time employees in line with local regulations.
Maintained the tradition of a late-December holiday office closure to support
rest and connection outside of work.
Total Rewards & Opportunities: Advanced our ongoing efforts to support
employee understanding of Total Rewards & Opportunities, including salary
growth potential, equity grants, and market-competitive benefits across well-
being dimensions. We also launched a new global reward and recognition
program and tool to facilitate timely feedback, offer opportunities for cash
rewards, and strengthen a culture of appreciation across the organization.
Meet or exceed the global
benchmark for (1)
employee engagement
score and (2) participation
rate for the Global
Employee Engagement
Survey (Annual)1
Target achieved for 2025. In 2025, Genmab achieved a 77%
engagement score compared to 77% industry average, and an
89% global participation rate compared to an 80% industry
average. The engagement score reflects overall favorability
based on key questions designed to measure employee
engagement, while the participation rate indicates how broadly
employees are contributing feedback relative to industry norms.
The favorability score is calculated by the percent of agreement
responses when combining scale points 4-5. Genmab
compares to the Life and Sciences Sector for the industry
benchmark provided by Mercer. This provides a comparison of
employees answering surveys conducted over a number of
years for organizations within hospital, health systems,
insurance, pharmaceuticals, and medical research and
development industry.
These results allow us to track progress year over year, identify
patterns, and assess the effectiveness of our actions. Insights
from the survey help us monitor Genmab’s areas of strength
and opportunity. To deepen understanding of critical
engagement issues, we also conduct focus groups and share
survey results across the organization. People leaders are
encouraged to review team-level feedback and develop
targeted actions to improve the employee experience.
Executive Management reviews the findings collectively to
analyze trends, reflect on strengths and opportunities, and
guide organizational priorities. In addition, Genmab regularly
hosts functional and regional town halls to update teams on
business progress and reinforce transparency.
By consistently leveraging our global engagement survey and
follow-up actions, Genmab creates a workplace where
employees feel valued, motivated, and committed to achieving
our shared goals.
Results are reviewed by
Executive Management
and people leaders,
shared transparently
across our internal
network, and used
collaboratively to guide
action planning across
teams.
1.Executive Management received RSU grants in 2023, 2024 and 2025 with performance linked to sustaining at or better than the global benchmark for employee engagement.

Training: Provided mandatory safety training and continuous education,
focusing on hazardous materials in our labs. Our chemical management meets
all regulations, prioritizes employee and environmental safety, and monitors
high-risk substances. In 2025, no chemical-related incidents required more
than first aid.
Annual Safe & Sound Day: Demonstrates Genmab’s continued focus on
workplace health, safety, and employee well-being. Colleagues across our
sites in the Netherlands, Denmark, and the US took part in coordinated
activities designed to enhance safety awareness and practical response skills.
The program included the launch of Genmab’s global Safety Culture Ladder,
first aid and firefighter training, interactive safety games, CPR workshops,
vendor fairs, and live safety demonstrations. These events fostered
engagement and strengthened our shared commitment to a safe and
supportive work environment.

Learning & Development: Leveraged multiple skills-based in-person
workshops and digital learning paths for employees focused on specific skill
development with focus areas including leadership, digital and AI, feedback,
strategic planning, advance Excel skills, leading different generations, informal
leadership, and business communications.
Global Mentorship Program: Extended the Program to ensure an inclusive
and supportive environment, designed to impact the sense of belonging, as
employees connect with other colleagues outside their area of expertise as
well as connecting with leaders who can provide insights and feedback not
linked to any performance plan. The feedback can be used to develop skills
and traits important to that specific individual.

Target between 40% to
60% gender representation
by 2025 in the Other
Management Levels at
Genmab A/S only in
accordance with the
guidelines from the Danish
Business Authority (DBA).
In 2025, Genmab removed
gender diversity targets at
the Group level including
those linked to Executive
Management
compensation.
Target not achieved for 2025. As of December 31, 2025,
women represented 30% (seven) and men 70% (16) of
managers in the “Other Management Levels” of Genmab A/S,
as defined by the Danish Gender Balance Act. Other
Management Levels are comprised of Executive Management
and employees with personnel responsibilities who report to
Executive Management.
As Genmab does not currently have an equal gender
representation in the Other Management Levels, with women
being the underrepresented gender, the Board of Directors has
decided to maintain a target for the proportion of women in the
Other Management Levels of 40%, or, depending on the
specific number of individuals to be included in the Other
Management Levels at the given time, the percentage that
comes closest to 40%, but not exceeding 49%, by 2028.

Genmab collaborates with patient advocacy groups and healthcare professionals to integrate stakeholder
perspectives in clinical trial design and execution. Genmab’s Clinical Trial Transparency Declaration
outlines its commitment to openness, with oversight by the Development Operations team under the Chief
Development Officer.
Safety and Compliance
Genmab’s Global Drug Safety team ensures therapies meet rigorous safety and efficacy standards through
close collaboration with regulatory authorities and continuous monitoring. Oversight is led by the Chief
Development Officer, supported by cross-functional teams.

issues, and seek remedy for potential human rights
impacts. We maintain accessible and trusted
communication channels, which are actively used
by stakeholders to submit inquiries and requests.
Clinical Trials
Consumers and end-users can raise questions
or concerns via Genmab’s public mailbox,
ClinicalTrials@genmab.com, listed with
all registered trials on platforms such as
ClinicalTrials.gov and the EU CTIS portal. Trial

outlining contact channels. All requests are
reviewed and directed to the appropriate Genmab
function, with personal data handled securely and
in compliance with privacy regulations.
MyNavCare
Patients enrolled in Genmab’s optional MyNavCare
program receive personalized, non-clinical support
from Patient Engagement Liaisons (PELs), who
serve as trusted contacts to provide treatment
information, connect patients with external support
organizations, and offer tailored resources. The
program promotes patient empowerment and
support while respecting the clinical role of
healthcare providers. Effectiveness is tracked
through regular MyNavCare team meetings, cross-
functional leadership updates, and quarterly
reviews by the Patient Services Steering
Committee, composed of senior U.S. Market
leaders, to assess program metrics
and performance.
Reporting a Side Effect or a Quality

age groups, geographies, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
European Patient Advocate Advisory Council: Launched in late 2025 as a complement to the
U.S. patient council, met twice and reviewed a clinical trial lay summary, offering culturally relevant
insights that shaped the document.
Fourth annual Science Day: Convened leaders and patient advisors for collaborative scientific
discussions on health literacy, regulatory policy, care partner support, and education needs for
hematologic and gynecologic cancers. The event produced actionable insights that are shaping
patient engagement, education, and plain language communications.
MyNavCare Patient Support: Provided direct assistance to patients following the U.S. launch of
EPKINLY, ensuring rapid and sustainable access to therapy. Patients and care partners received
support through case management, insurance navigation, and financial assistance, while healthcare
providers (HCPs) were supported with reimbursement education, billing guidance, and coverage
information.

Access to

information
Provided clinical trial information and results on publicly accessible registries, including
ClinicalTrials.gov and the EU Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS), in compliance with evolving
global transparency regulations and good practice.
To support potential trial participants, we included clear and understandable trial descriptions in
ClinicalTrials.gov registrations, written specifically for non-scientists. Similarly, for all protocols
uploaded to the EU CTIS, we provided a lay protocol synopsis to help non-specialist audiences
understand trial objectives and design.
To ensure trial results were meaningfully returned to patients, all scientific result summaries
submitted to the EU CTIS were accompanied by lay results summaries written in non-technical
language. Visitors on ClinicalTrials.gov were also made aware of these lay results summaries via
a link provided on the specific trial registration.
None
Genmab tracks the effectiveness of its transparency and patient
engagement initiatives by evaluating feedback, monitoring
communication channels, and incorporating learnings into future
practices.
Building on the Patient Advisory Council’s earlier contribution to the lay
results summary template, the Council in 2025 reviewed three lay results
summaries, providing valuable feedback that improved both content and
tone. This collaboration deepened our understanding of critical aspects
such as wording sensitivity and the right level of detail for non-scientific
audiences.
To further enhance clarity and consistency across all patient-facing
materials, we developed and finalized an internal Plain Language
Lexicon. The lexicon supports the use of health-literate terminology and
a consistent tone across communications with patients, whether
developed by disclosure, trial, or publication teams.
We also hosted a health literacy workshop at Genmab’s Advisory
Science Day, highlighting Genmab’s efforts to make complex scientific
information more accessible and gathering valuable feedback to guide
future initiatives.
Requests and questions from consumers and end-users were received
via Genmab’s publicly available mailbox, ClinicalTrials@genmab.com,
and were triaged to ensure timely responses by the appropriate
functions.
Through these initiatives, Genmab continues to strengthen transparency,
build trust, and ensure that clinical trial information is communicated
responsibly and meaningfully to patients and the public.

Genmab’s Code of Conduct sets high ethical
standards for all employees and the Board when
conducting business on behalf of Genmab. The
Code of Conduct encourages team members to
conduct themselves in a manner reflecting our core
values, determination, integrity, innovation, and
teamwork when representing the Company. Our
head of Global Compliance who is a member of the
CSR & Sustainability Committee is responsible for
the Code of Conduct and reports directly to our
Chief Legal Officer. The Code of Conduct can be
mapped to the positive impact of a healthy and
ethical corporate culture aligned with core values
and purpose.
Actions:
Training: All employees are required to complete
annual training and attest to their commitment
to adhere to our ethical standards. The Code of
Conduct training provides an overview of our
Ethical Standards, Company Values, and
incorporates training vignettes that illustrate ethical
approaches to common business practices. This
training also reviews relevant anti-bribery and anti-
corruption, regulatory, conflicts of interest, and
Speak Up concepts. The Global Compliance team
monitors completion of the annual Code of Conduct
training and provides progress updates to function
leaders and the Global Compliance and Risk
Committee.
Refer to the Code of Conduct on our website.
Global Compliance Policy
Our internal Global Compliance Policy, owned
by our head of Global Compliance, outlines our
standards on interactions and engagements with
HCPs, healthcare organizations, patients, patient
association groups and government officials
consistent with applicable industry codes and
standards. The policy aligns with the values and
principles articulated in our Code of Conduct and is
complemented by an associated Global Fair Market
Value Policy and a Compliance Playbook tool to
ensure stakeholder engagement is conducted in an
ethical, compliant manner. Our compliance program
focuses on our commercialization efforts to assure
ethical market-based and customer-focused
business practices. Genmab maintains a Global
Compliance Program staffed by compliance
professionals who monitor adherence to the policy.
The Global Compliance Policy can be mapped to
the positive impact of a healthy and ethical
corporate culture aligned with core values and
purpose.
Global Speak Up Policy
Genmab maintains a Speak Up (whistleblower)
program featuring an independently operated
hotline service available globally intended to
provide anyone with information about potential
misconduct related to Genmab or its business
activities the opportunity to report the misconduct.
Genmab’s Speak Up program is intended to
accommodate information from any group with
information including all Genmab’s current and
former employees, directors, contractors,
customers, suppliers, and other third parties
wishing to report concerns. The Global Speak Up
Policy can be mapped to the potential negative
impact of protection of whistleblowers.
Actions:
Quarterly Reporting: On a quarterly basis,
Genmab’s Audit & Finance Committee receives
a summary of all reports made under the Speak Up
program along with additional information about any
material incidents raised. Summaries of all reports
made to the Speak Up program are provided to
Genmab’s Global Compliance and Risk Committee
(GCRC) annually.
Training: All Genmab employees and contractors
are required to take Speak Up training, and
completion metrics are monitored by the
Compliance team. Speak Up program training is
a mandatory component of employee onboarding
and also an annual requirement.
Genmab has zero tolerance for any retaliation
against anyone who raises concerns or participates
in investigations. Retaliation includes any conduct
or treatment that could discourage someone from
speaking up. Genmab has established procedures
to protect whistleblowers and ensure they do not
suffer retaliation for their report. Genmab will
protect the identity of people who participate in the
Speak Up program as appropriate and consistent
with applicable law. Genmab utilizes a number of
methods (determined by the scenario) to protect
whistleblowers from retaliation or detriment
including but not limited to discrimination,
harassment, physical or psychological harm,
isolation, impact to employee performance and/ or
compensation, damaging property, or varying
employee’s role or duties.
Refer to the Global Speak Up Policy on our
website, and S1-3 for further details. Refer to G1-3
for Genmab’s procedures to investigate business
conduct matters.
Anti-Fraud Policy
Genmab has an internal Anti-Fraud Policy that
communicates anti-fraud principles and program
elements, and Management’s responsibility for
detecting and responding to fraud and misconduct.
This Policy applies to all employees, officers,
directors of Genmab, and Management regardless
of legal entity or work location, and anyone
supervising the performance of services for or on
behalf of Genmab, including contractors, contingent
workers, agents, suppliers, and consultants
(collectively “Genmab Person”). Genmab’s
Corporate Controller is responsible for the anti-
fraud policy and reports to the CFO. The Anti-Fraud
Policy can be mapped to the positive impact of a
healthy and ethical corporate culture aligned with
core values and purpose.
Actions:
Annual Fraud Risk Assessment: Genmab
monitors through Internal Audit assessing the
potential for fraud risk when planning individual
audits. On an annual basis, a fraud risk assessment
is prepared with the participation of Management.
This annual fraud risk assessment is presented to
the Audit & Finance Committee.
Sustainability Statements
Data Ethics Policy
The use of data, both personal and non-personal, is
essential to fulfilling our core purpose, and we are
committed to handling data with integrity and in an
ethical and compliant manner. Genmab has
developed a global data privacy program supported
by a cross-functional team of global data privacy
subject matter experts and a Global Data Privacy
Officer (DPO) and EU DPO dedicated to GDPR
compliance and oversight.
Our Data Ethics Policy complies with Section 99d of
the Danish Financial Statements Act, and we
adopted the Data Ethics principles of the
International Federation of Pharmaceutical
Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA). As part of
this commitment to ethical and responsible use of
data and overall transparency, Genmab has made
this Data Ethics Policy publicly available to all
external stakeholders, and can be mapped to our
potential negative impact of global data privacy.
The policy and its principles are anchored in our
Code of Conduct as part of our overall Compliance
program, and has been communicated to our
Management so they can share and consider it with
team members.
Refer to the Data Ethics Policy on our website.
Animal Welfare Policy
Genmab uses research animals only when
necessary to answer essential scientific questions
or meet regulatory requirements, and only when no
suitable alternatives exist. Animals have intrinsic
value, and we take moral and ethical responsibility
for all studies, whether performed internally or
externally. We maintain an animal welfare policy
and supporting procedures across the US, Europe,
Japan, and China that meet local regulations and
reflect our high standards. Our approach
emphasizes responsible, humane use of animals
and is grounded in the 3Rs principles—
Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement.
A dedicated animal welfare officer oversees
compliance and continuous improvement, while our
Global Animal Welfare Committee guides policy,
identifies 3R opportunities, and advances
transparency. Internal policies further outline
requirements for all work involving animals.
The policy is mapped to the actual negative impact
of animal welfare.
Actions:
Training: Genmab provides continuing education
to team members working with animals on ethical
treatment of animals.
Audits: Genmab performs animal welfare audits
at external contractors, when required, to ensure
contractors maintain comparable high standards for
animal use and care as we do internally.
Global Procurement Policy
Genmab’s Global Procurement Policy is an
important tool utilized by our team members to
steer the procurement practices and increase
financial cost control and transparency within
Genmab. Furthermore, the Policy helps assess and
mitigate risk, ensure selection and maintenance of
high-quality, regulatory-compliant third parties,
through a transparent, fair, and compliant process.
Genmab’s CFO is responsible for the policy, which
is available on Genmab’s intranet.
Genmab’s Global Procurement Policy requires
suppliers to be fully onboarded before any
commercial engagement to enable timely payment.
The mandated use of purchase requisitions and
purchase orders supports proper approval of spend
and ensures that agreed payment terms are met.
Overall, the procurement process—from on-
boarding through PO issuance—is designed to
ensure invoices can be processed and paid on
time.
Supplier Code of Conduct
Our Supplier Code of Conduct articulates
expectations for all third parties conducting work on
our behalf, minimizing risks to Genmab posed by
our suppliers’ activities. The Supplier Code of
Conduct addresses topics that include, but are not
limited to, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, privacy,
trade compliance, conflicts of interest, human and
labor rights, diversity, compliance with
environmental laws and regulations, supply chain
and animal welfare, protecting information and
intellectual property, protecting physical and digital
security and product compliance and quality. Our
VP, Head of Global Procurement who reports to our
CFO is responsible for the policy. The Global
Procurement Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct
can be mapped to the potential negative impact of
management of suppliers
Actions:
Supplier Vetting: All Genmab suppliers are vetted
against unethical business practices, including
adverse media, U.S. and EU Sanctions lists and the
Global Corruption Index as well as a review of the
financial health of the third party.
Anti-Corruption Anti-Bribery Policy
(ABAC)
Our Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption (ABAC) Policy,
owned by our head of Global Compliance,
establishes a zero-tolerance approach to bribery
and corruption, educates employees on risk
recognition, and provides clear reporting
mechanisms for suspected misconduct. It promotes
ethical business conduct and supports
transparency across all operations. Its objective
is to prevent, detect, and address bribery and
corruption risks by promoting ethical conduct,
ensuring transparency, and maintaining
strong oversight.
The policy applies to all Genmab employees,
contractors, Board members, and third parties
acting on the Company’s behalf. It covers all
business functions, with heightened focus on
interactions with public officials, healthcare
providers, regulatory representatives, and
third parties.
The policy is accessible via the Company intranet.
Key tools, such as Genmab’s Quarterly Financial
Disclosure Questionnaire, support management
disclosures and ongoing compliance awareness.
The Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy can
be mapped to the actual positive impact of our
healthy and ethical corporate culture aligned with
core values and purpose.
Refer to G1-3 for further details on prevention and
detection corruption and bribery and G1-4 for
incidents of corruption or bribery.
Other policies, available on our website
or internally, include the Enterprise Risk
Management and Resilience Policy,
International Trade Controls Policy,
and Tax Policy.
Sustainability Statements
Management of relationships with suppliers (G1-2)
Genmab’s Global Procurement functions which include, R&D Contract Management, Lab Purchase Management, CMC Commercial Supply Chain and Global Procurement (collectively known as “Procurement”)
are created to be a trusted value adding partner to both internal and external stakeholders across the entire Genmab value chain.
Our Global Procurement function implemented a dedicated supplier vetting tool which serves as a single point of entry for all new suppliers. Information technology & digital, quality assurance, compliance and risk, and
legal functions are involved when the risk score is elevated based on a fact-based approach. Our vetting process focuses on financial health, international sanctions, regulatory and reputational risks, and other key
issues. Suppliers in sanctioned countries are subject to additional legal review before payments may be processed. All Genmab suppliers are vetted against unethical business practices, including adverse media, U.S.
and EU Sanctions lists and the Global Corruption Index as well as a review of the financial health of the third party.
Our Global Procurement Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct reflect our strong supplier management practices, which emphasize compliance with our Code of Conduct. The Global Procurement team is responsible
for setting, monitoring and ensuring achievement of related targets.

Leadership transition: Responsibility for Supplier
Code of Conduct implementation moved to a new
Procurement VP in mid-2025.
Process review: Conducted a review of the initial
implementation phase to identify opportunities for
a more structured and effective approach.
Supplier identification: Identified over 130
suppliers requiring formal engagement on the
Supplier Code of Conduct.
Revised planning: Developed a phased
implementation plan, targeting engagement
with roughly half of suppliers in 2026 and the
remainder in 2027.
Monitoring and oversight: Planned regular
progress tracking by the Global Procurement
team.
Acceptance of Genmab’s Supplier Code of
Conduct by 80% of suppliers by spend by 2025.
The target supports key governance areas in the
Supplier Code of Conduct, including legal
compliance, anti-corruption, labor practices,
human rights, supply chain, animal welfare, and
information and IP security.
Target not achieved in 2025. The target was
initially set for 2025; however, Genmab did not
meet this target date due to a lack of systematic
initiation and monitoring during the initial
implementation phase. Responsibility has since
moved to a new VP of Procurement (joined
mid-2025), and a review has been conducted to
establish a more structured approach to achieve
this target. Target has been reset with a 2027 time
horizon.
Key stakeholders include suppliers, the Global
Procurement team, and the Legal and
Compliance teams.
Refer to E1-4 for details of Genmab’s engagement plans with suppliers on Scope 3 emission reductions targets.
Sustainability Statements
Prevention and detection of
corruption and bribery (G1-3)
Management identifies the primary bribery and
corruption risks as payments or gifts intended to
secure preferential treatment for Genmab.
Employees interacting with public officials or
regulatory representatives face heightened risks, as
do those dealing with healthcare providers and third
parties on Genmab’s behalf, especially due to
limited oversight of third-party anti-corruption
practices.
Reports of bribery or corruption are reviewed by the
Global Compliance Program, which reports directly
to the Chief Legal Officer. Annual summaries are
provided to the Global Compliance and Risk
Committee and the Board, detailing all reported
incidents. We consider all functions within the
business to be potentially subject to corruption and
bribery and as such, 100% of Genmab employees,
contractors, and Board members must complete
annual Code of Conduct training, which covers
ABAC, regulatory issues, conflicts of interest, and
reporting mechanisms. New hires also receive
ABAC training. Our Compliance program maintains
a SharePoint site for business conduct policies and
Page 61.jpg
uses the Company intranet to communicate key
concepts.
Every two years, business functions assess their
vulnerability to corruption and report findings to the
Compliance organization, which may implement
further controls. Our Internal Audit function also
conducts an annual fraud assessment.
Incidents of corruption or bribery
(G1-4)
Genmab defines bribery as acts designed to
influence individuals to act dishonestly in the
performance or discharge of their duty, and
corruption as the misuse of office or power or
influence for private gain. Genmab has a zero-
tolerance policy for any acts of bribery or corruption
by employees, contingent staff, Management,
officers, directors, or third-party agents or
representatives. Genmab’s 24/7 Speak Up
Compliance Hotline enables the anonymous
reporting of behavior indicative of corruption or
bribery. Our compliance team reviews these reports
and supports investigations as warranted.

Instances in which any reported activity by Genmab
or its affiliates has been legally determined by a
court to violate anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws.
Payment practices (G1-6)
Standard payment terms are 45 days net. For
certain categories of suppliers there are other
possible payment terms, for example 30 days net
allowed for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
and seven days net for Grants/Sponsorships and
Government organizations.
Our Global Procurement Policy currently defines
SMEs as enterprises which employ fewer than 10
persons or which have an annual turnover not
exceeding EUR/USD 10 million. In practice,
Genmab updated this definition in 2025 to align with
industry standards (EU, OECD, World Bank):
Small enterprise: Fewer than 50 employees
Medium enterprise: More than 50 employees,
but fewer than 250 employees
Large enterprise: 250 employees or more
SMEs that self-identify to Genmab receive standard
30 day net payment terms unless otherwise agreed
in writing.
Genmab plans to update its Global Procurement
Policy in 2026 to reflect this change, along with
other planned revisions.
There were no legal proceedings for late payments
in 2025 or 2024, including payments to SMEs.
The average time Genmab takes to pay an invoice
for all suppliers with varying payment terms from
the date when the contractual or statutory term of
payment starts to be calculated, in number of days
was 44 in 2025 and 46 in 2024. 72% of payments
are aligned with agreed upon payment terms
in 2025.
Accounting Policies
Average number of days to pay invoice
Average number of days it takes Genmab to pay an
invoice from the invoice date (when contractual or
statutory term of payment starts to be calculated)
until the invoice has been cleared.

Materiality
Genmab’s Annual Report is based on the concept of materiality and the Company focuses on information
that is considered material and relevant to the users of the consolidated financial statements. The
consolidated financial statements consist of a large number of transactions. These transactions are
aggregated into classes according to their nature or function and presented in classes of similar items in
the consolidated financial statements as required by IFRS and the Danish Financial Statements Act. If
items are individually immaterial, they are aggregated with other items of similar nature in the consolidated
financial statements or in the notes.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Genmab provides these specific required disclosures unless the information is considered immaterial to the
economic decision-making of the readers of the consolidated financial statements or not applicable.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements include Genmab A/S and subsidiaries over which the parent
company has control. The parent controls a subsidiary when the parent is exposed to, or has rights
to, variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power to direct the activities of the subsidiary. Genmab A/S (parent company) holds
investments either directly or indirectly in the following subsidiaries:

1.These subsidiaries were added as a result of the acquisition of Merus during the fourth quarter of 2025.
2.These subsidiaries were created during 2025.
Genmab’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the financial statements
of the parent company and subsidiaries – prepared under Genmab’s accounting policies – by combining
similar accounting items on a line-by-line basis. On consolidation, intercompany income and expenses,
intercompany receivables and payables, and unrealized gains and losses on transactions between the
consolidated companies are eliminated.
The recorded value of the equity interests in the consolidated subsidiaries is eliminated with the
proportionate share of the subsidiaries’ equity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when control is
transferred to the Group.
Items included in the financial statements of Genmab's entities are measured using the currency of the
primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional currency).The income statements
for subsidiaries with a different functional currency than Genmab’s presentation currency are translated into
Genmab’s presentation currency at average exchange rates, and the balance sheets are translated at the
exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date.
Exchange rate differences arising from the translation of foreign subsidiaries shareholders’ equity at the
beginning of the year and exchange rate differences arising as a result of foreign subsidiaries’ income
statements being translated at average exchange rates are recorded in translation reserves in
shareholders’ equity.
Functional and Presentation Currency Change
Management has determined it is appropriate to change both the functional currency of the Genmab A/S
legal entity and the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements from DKK to
USD effective January 1, 2025. The change in functional currency was triggered by the expansion of
commercialization of EPKINLY and was made to reflect that USD has become the predominant currency of
the Genmab A/S legal entity. The change has been implemented with prospective effect. The change in
presentation currency is applied retrospectively and was made to better reflect the Company’s financial
position. Comparative figures for prior periods have been restated accordingly.
The consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the consolidated statements of cash flows
have been translated into the presentation currency using the average exchange rates prevailing during
each reporting period. In the consolidated balance sheets, all assets and liabilities have been translated
using the period-end exchange rates, and all resulting exchange differences have been recognized in other
comprehensive income for the relevant year and accumulated in translation reserves in equity.
Shareholders’ equity balances have been translated using historical rates in effect on the date of the
transactions.

Foreign Currency
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the date of the
transaction.
Except for foreign currency differences related to tax balances, exchange rate gains and losses arising
between the transaction date and the settlement date are recognized in the Consolidated Statements
of Comprehensive Income as financial income or expense.
Unsettled monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates in effect
at the balance sheet date. Exchange rate gains and losses arising between the transaction date and the
balance sheet date are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as financial
income or expense.
Classification of Costs and Operating Expenses in the Income Statement
Cost of Product Sales
Cost of product sales includes direct and indirect costs relating to the manufacturing of inventory mainly
from third-party providers of manufacturing as well as costs related to internal resources and distribution
and logistics. Inventory amounts written down as a result of excess or obsolescence are charged to cost of
product sales. Also included in cost of product sales are royalty payments on commercialized products.
Additionally, cost of product sales includes profit-sharing amounts owed to collaboration partners
for the sale of commercial products when Genmab is determined to be the principal in sales to end
customers. The only profit-sharing amounts owed to collaboration partners that are recorded as cost of
product sales relate to sales of EPKINLY in the US and Japan pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement
with AbbVie.
Aside from these items, there are no other costs included within cost of product sales.
Refer to Note 5.6 in the Annual Report for detailed information regarding Genmab’s Collaboration
Agreement with AbbVie.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses primarily include salaries, benefits and other employee-related costs
of Genmab’s research and development staff, license costs, manufacturing costs, preclinical costs, clinical
trials, contractors and outside service fees, amortization and impairment of licenses and rights related to
intangible assets, depreciation of property and equipment, and depreciation of right-of-use assets, to the
extent that such costs are related to the Group’s research and development activities.
Refer to Note 3.1 for a more detailed description on the treatment of Genmab’s research and development
expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses relate to the management and administration of Genmab,
including commercialization activities. This primarily includes salaries, benefits and other employee costs
related to management and support functions including human resources, information technology and the
finance departments. In addition, depreciation of property and equipment and depreciation of right-of-use
assets, to the extent such expenses are related to administrative functions, are also included. Selling,
general and administrative expenses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income in the period to which they relate.
Acquisition and Integration Related Charges
Acquisition and integration related charges for the acquisitions of Merus N.V. ("Merus") and ProfoundBio
which occurred during the fourth quarter of 2025 and second quarter of 2024, respectively.
Refer to Note 5.5 for more information regarding Genmab’s Acquisition and Integration costs related to the
acquisition of Merus and ProfoundBio.
Government Grants
Government grants are recognized at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant
will be received and that Genmab will comply with all attaching conditions. When the grant relates to an
expense item, it is recognized as a reduction of that expense on a systematic basis over the periods that
the costs for which it is intended to compensate are incurred. Where the grant relates to an asset, the
fair value is credited to a contract liability account and is released to the statement of comprehensive
income as other operating income over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual
installments.
Statements of Cash Flows
The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method with basis in the net profit before tax.
Cash flows from operating activities are stated as the net profit before tax adjusted for financial income and
expense, non-cash operating items including depreciation, amortization, impairment losses, share-based
compensation expenses, and for changes in operating assets and liabilities, interest paid and received,
interest elements of lease payments and corporate taxes paid or received. Operating assets and liabilities
are mainly comprised of changes in receivables, inventories and other payables excluding the items
included in cash and cash equivalents. Changes in non-current assets and liabilities are included in
operating assets and liabilities, if related to the main revenue-producing activities of Genmab.
Cash flows from investing activities consist of acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired, purchases
and sales of marketable securities and other investments, as well as purchases of intangible assets and
property and equipment.
Cash flows from financing activities relate to the purchase of treasury shares, exercise of warrants,
payments of withholding taxes on behalf of employees on net settled RSUs and repayments of borrowings
including installments on loans, notes and lease liabilities.
Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash, bank deposits, and marketable securities with a
maturity of less than 90 days on the date of acquisition.
The statements of cash flows cannot be derived solely from the consolidated financial statements.
Treasury Shares
The total amount paid to acquire treasury shares including directly attributable costs and the proceeds from
the sale of treasury shares is recognized in retained earnings.
Collaborations, License Agreements and Collaborative Agreements
Collaborations and License Agreements
Genmab continues to pursue the establishment of research collaborations and licensing agreements.
These arrangements often include upfront payments, expense reimbursements or payments to the
collaboration partner, and milestone and royalty arrangements, contingent upon the occurrence of certain
future events linked to the success of the asset in development.
In regard to Genmab’s license agreements with J&J, Novartis and Roche, each of these parties retain
final decision-making authority over the relevant activities and as such no joint control exists.
Refer to Note 2.1 for additional information related to revenue from these parties.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Collaborative Agreements
Genmab has entered into a number of joint collaborative agreements. These agreements often include
upfront payments, expense reimbursements or payments to the collaboration partner, and milestone and
royalty arrangements, contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the
asset in development.
These agreements also provide Genmab with varying rights to develop, produce and market products
together with its collaborative partners. Both parties in these arrangements share in the decision-making
and therefore have joint control of the arrangement. In 2025, Genmab’s more significant collaboration
agreements are with AbbVie (epcoritamab) and Pfizer (tisotumab vedotin).
Refer to Note 2.1 for additional information related to revenue from our joint collaborative agreements.
Refer to Note 5.6 for detailed information regarding Genmab’s significant Research Collaborations,
License Agreements and Collaborative Agreements.
1.2 - New Accounting Policies and Disclosures
New Accounting Policies and Disclosures For 2025
Genmab has, with effect from January 1, 2025, implemented the following amendment:
Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability
The implementation of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements for the current or prior reporting periods and is not expected to have a significant impact
in future reporting periods.
New Accounting Policies and Disclosures Effective in 2026 or Later
Furthermore, as it relates to new or amended accounting standards and interpretations (IFRSs) not yet
effective, but issued by the IASB, Management does not anticipate any significant impact on the
Consolidated Financial Statements in the period of initial application from the adoption of these
new standards and amendments, apart from IFRS 18 ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial
Statements’ which replaces IAS 1 effective from 1 January 2027. Management is assessing the impact
of the standard on its financial statements, and the impact has not yet been determined.
IFRS 18 introduces the following :
Changes the presentation of the financial statements, requiring items of income and expense to be
classified into five categories: operating, investing, finance, income taxes and discontinued operations
along with two new mandatory sub-totals, operating profit or loss and profit or loss before financing and
income taxes.
Requires companies to disclose definitions of company-specific management-defined performance
measures (MPMs) that are related to the statement of income and provide reconciliations between the
MPMs and the most similar specified subtotals within the statement of income in a single note.
Provides enhanced guidance on the principles of how items should be aggregated or disaggregated
based on shared characteristics. The changes are expected to provide more detailed and useful
information to investors and impacts all primary financial statements and notes.
1.3 - Management’s Judgements and Estimates under IFRS
In preparing financial statements under IFRS, certain provisions in the standards require Management’s
judgements, including various accounting estimates and assumptions. These judgements and estimates
affect the application of accounting policies, as well as reported amounts within the consolidated financial
statements and disclosures.
Determining the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities requires judgements, estimates and
assumptions concerning future events that are based on historical experience and other factors, which by
their very nature are associated with uncertainty and unpredictability.
Accounting estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors relative to the
circumstances in which they are applied. Estimates are generally made based on information available
at the time.
Accounting judgements are made in the process of applying accounting policies. These judgements
are typically made based on the guidance and information available at the time of application.
These estimates and judgements may prove incomplete or incorrect, and unexpected events or
circumstances may arise. Genmab is also subject to risks and uncertainties which may lead actual results
to differ from these estimates, both positively and negatively. Specific risks for Genmab are discussed in
the relevant section of this Annual Report and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

1.4 - Reclassifications of Prior Period Financial Statements
In order to conform to the current period gross presentation for 2025, a reclassification of net, $100 million
gain and $63 million loss have been made to the gross amounts presented for 2024 and 2023, to move
foreign exchange rate gains and losses related to marketable securities from gains and losses on foreign
exchange rates to gains and losses on marketable securities. These reclassifications have no impact on
the net amounts of financial items as presented in Note 4.5 - Financial Income and Expenses.

Accounting Policies
Genmab recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an
amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To
determine revenue recognition for arrangements that Genmab determines are within the scope of IFRS 15,
Genmab performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the
performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction
price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity
satisfies a performance obligation. Genmab only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is
probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or
services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the
scope of IFRS 15, Genmab assesses the goods and services promised within each contract and identifies
as a performance obligation each good or service that is distinct. Revenue is recognized in the amount of
the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the
performance obligation is satisfied.
Royalties: Certain of Genmab’s license and collaboration agreements include sales-based royalties
based on the level of sales. The license has been deemed to be the predominant item to which the
royalties relate under Genmab’s license and collaboration agreements. As a result, Genmab recognizes
revenue when the related sales occur.
Net Product Sales: Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when control is transferred to the
customer and it is probable that Genmab will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for transferring
the products. Control of the products is transferred at a single point in time which occurs upon delivery to
the customer. The amount of sales to be recognized is based on the consideration Genmab expects to
receive in exchange for its goods. When sales are recognized, an estimate for a variety of sales deductions
is also recorded such as cash discounts, government rebates, chargebacks, wholesaler fees, other rebates
and administrative fees, sales returns and allowances and other sales discounts. Sales deductions are
estimated and recognized as a reduction of gross product sales to arrive at net product sales, by assessing
the expected value of the sales deductions (variable consideration). Sales deductions are estimated and
provided for at the time the related sales are recorded. Genmab’s estimates related to sales deductions
require significant use of estimates as not all conditions are known at the time of sale. The estimates are
based on analyses of existing contractual obligations, historical experience, drug product analogs and
payer channel mix. Genmab considers the provisions established for sales deductions to be reasonable
and appropriate based on currently available information; however, the actual amount of deductions may
differ from the amounts estimated by Management as more information becomes available. Estimates will
be assessed each period and adjusted as required based on updated information and actual experience.
When Genmab is determined to be the principal in sales to end customers, all product sales are included in
net product sales in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of December 31, 2025, all
net product sales relate to sales of EPKINLY in the US and Japan and Tivdak in Japan and Germany,
pursuant to the Collaboration Agreements with AbbVie and Pfizer, respectively.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Reimbursement Revenue for R&D Services: Genmab’s research collaboration agreements
include provisions for reimbursement or cost sharing for R&D services and payment for full time
equivalents (“FTEs”) at contractual rates. R&D services are performed and satisfied over time given that
the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by Genmab and revenue for
research services is recognized over time rather than at a point in time.
Milestone Revenue: Certain of Genmab’s license and collaboration agreements include development,
regulatory and commercial milestone payments based on the level of sales. At the inception of each
arrangement that includes milestone payments, Genmab evaluates whether the achievement of milestones
is considered highly probable and estimates the amount to be included in the transaction price using the
most likely amount method. If it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur, the
associated milestone value is included in the transaction price. Milestone payments that are not within the
control of Genmab or the license and collaboration partner, such as regulatory approvals, are not
considered probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. The transaction price is then
allocated to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis, for which Genmab
recognizes revenue as or when the performance obligations under the contract are satisfied. At the end of
each subsequent reporting period, Genmab re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such
development milestones and commercial milestones and any related constraint, and if necessary, adjusts
its estimate of the overall transaction price. Any such adjustments are recorded on a cumulative catch-up
basis, which would affect revenue and earnings in the period of adjustment. Under all of Genmab’s existing
license and collaboration agreements, milestone payments have been allocated to the license transfer
performance obligation.
Collaboration Revenue: Collaboration revenue includes the result of profit sharing arrangements for
the sale of commercial products by our collaboration partners. When Genmab’s collaboration partner is
determined to be the principal in sales to end customers, Genmab’s share of profits for the sale of
commercial products is included in collaboration revenue.
License Revenue for Intellectual Property: If the license to Genmab’s functional intellectual
property is determined to be distinct from the other performance obligations identified in the arrangement,
Genmab recognizes revenues from non-refundable upfront fees allocated to the license at the point in time
the license is transferred to the licensee and the licensee is able to use and benefit from the license. For
licenses that are bundled with other promises, Genmab utilizes judgement to assess the nature of the
combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied
over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress for purposes
of recognizing revenue from non-refundable, upfront fees. Under all of Genmab’s existing license and
collaboration agreements the license to functional intellectual property has been determined to be distinct
from other performance obligations identified in the agreement.
Refer to Note 5.6 for detailed information regarding Genmab’s significant Research Collaborations,
License Agreements and Collaborative Agreements.
Refer to Note 1.3 for Management’s judgements and estimates related to revenue recognition.
2.2 - Information about Geographical Areas
Genmab is managed and operated as one business unit, which is reflected in the organizational structure
and internal reporting. No separate lines of business or separate business entities have been identified
with respect to any licensed products, marketed products, product candidates or geographical markets and
no segment information is currently prepared for internal reporting.
Accordingly, it has been concluded that it is not relevant to include segment disclosures in the financial
statements as Genmab’s business activities are not organized on the basis of differences in related
product and geographical areas.

Corporate tax consists of current tax and the adjustment of deferred taxes during the year. The corporate
tax expense was $241 million in 2025, $193 million in 2024 and $186 million in 2023. Tax benefits of $3
million in 2025, tax expense of $7 million in 2024 and tax expense of $8 million in 2023, related to excess
tax benefits for share-based compensation were recorded directly in shareholders’ equity. Other current
and deferred tax adjustments primarily driven by income subject to tax at a lower rate than the statutory
U.S. rate.
There were no additional unrecognized tax losses utilized in 2025. As a result of the ProfoundBio
integration activities, Genmab utilized approximately $360 million of previously unrecognized tax
losses during 2024, compared to an estimate of $319 million disclosed in the prior year.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Genmab operates in multiple jurisdictions which have enacted new legislation to implement the global
minimum top-up tax, which became effective on January 1, 2024. Under this legislation, the Company is
liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between its GloBE Effective Tax Rate per jurisdiction and the
minimum rate of 15 percent. The rules have no impact on the tax position of Genmab in 2025.

Genmab recognizes deferred tax assets if it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available in
the future. Management has considered future taxable income and applied its judgement in assessing
whether deferred tax assets should be recognized.
The difference between the deferred tax liability as of December 31, 2024 and the deferred tax liability
acquired as part of the acquisition of ProfoundBio relates to the reestablishment of the deferred tax liability
as a result of the transfer of intangible assets from ProfoundBio US to Genmab A/S during the fourth
quarter of 2024. The transferred intangible assets were fully depreciated for Danish tax purposes in 2024.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
As of December 31, 2025, Genmab had estimated gross unrecognized tax loss carryforwards in the
Netherlands of $1.6 billion and in the United States of $0.1 billion to reduce future taxable income.
As of December 31, 2024, Genmab had estimated gross unrecognized tax loss carryforwards in the
Netherlands of $0.1 billion. The increase of the loss carryforwards is due to the acquisition of Merus
B.V; and Merus U.S. The tax losses available in the Netherlands and the United States as of December 31,
2025 can be carried forward indefinitely.
Financials_icon_A.jpg
Accounting Policies
Corporate Tax
Corporate tax, which consists of current tax and deferred taxes for the year, is recognized in the income
statement, except to the extent that the tax is attributable to items which directly relate to shareholders’
equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax assets and liabilities for current and prior periods are measured at the amounts expected to be
recovered from or paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred Tax
Deferred tax accounting requires recognition of deferred tax on all temporary differences between the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the tax base of such assets and liabilities. This includes the
tax value of certain tax losses carried forward.
Deferred tax is calculated in accordance with the tax regulations in the local countries and the tax rates
expected to be in force at the time the deferred tax is utilized. Changes in deferred tax as a result of
changes in tax rates are recognized in the income statement.
Deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences, including the tax value of losses to be carried
forward, are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences that arise when the carrying
amount of an asset exceeds its tax basis or the carrying amount of a liability is less than its tax base.
Financials_icon_B.jpg
Management’s Judgements and Estimates
Deferred Tax
Genmab recognizes deferred tax assets if Management assesses that these tax assets can be offset
against positive taxable income within the foreseeable future. This judgement is made on an ongoing basis
and is based on numerous factors, including actual results, budgets, and business plans for the coming
years.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon a number of factors, including estimated future
taxable earnings, the timing and amount of which are highly uncertain. A significant portion of Genmab’s
future taxable income will be driven by future events that are highly susceptible to factors outside the
control of Genmab including overall commercial growth, specific clinical outcomes, regulatory approvals,
advancement of Genmab’s product pipeline and other matters. As such, changes in estimates of
the impact from these factors could impact Genmab’s future taxable income in a positive or
negative manner.
As of December 31, 2025, the deferred tax assets of Merus B.V. and Merus U.S. are not recognized. As a
result of the ProfoundBio integration activities, Genmab, based on current business plans and estimates of
future taxable income, recognized a significant portion of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets
during 2024.

Section 3 - Operating Assets
and Liabilities
This section covers the operating assets and related liabilities that form
the basis for Genmab’s activities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
included in Note 2.4. Assets related to Genmab’s financing activities
are shown in section 4.
3.1 - Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill
The increase in the gross carrying value of other intangible assets during 2025 was primarily due to the
addition of intangible assets from the acquisition of Merus, including $6,927 million of in-process research
and development (IPR&D) related to petosemtamab (Peto), $369 million related to the acquired Merus
technology platform and $82 million related to other licenses and patents.
As a not-yet-in-use IPR&D asset, Peto, is not currently being amortized. Amortization will be recognized on
a straight-line basis upon regulatory approval. The acquired Merus technology platform asset is being
amortized over its estimated useful life of 13 years.
Peto is monitored for impairment throughout the year and tested for impairment on at least an annual basis
during the fourth quarter of the year. An impairment test was performed following the acquisition of Merus
and no impairment losses were recognized.
The increase in the gross carrying value of other intangible assets during 2024 was primarily due to
intangibles assets from the acquisition of ProfoundBio, including Rina-S and the ADC technology platform.
The ADC technology platform is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 15 years.
As of December 31, 2025, the asset has a remaining useful life of approximately 14 years.
Rina-S, a not-yet in use IPR&D asset acquired as a part of the 2024 ProfoundBio acquisition, has a
carrying value of $1,532 million as of December 31, 2025. As a not-yet in use IPR&D asset, Rina-S is
not currently being amortized. Amortization will be recognized on a straight-line basis upon regulatory
approval.
Rina-S is monitored for impairment throughout the year and tested for impairment on at least an annual
basis during the fourth quarter of the year. The annual impairment review indicated that the recoverable
amount in the forecast period for Rina-S significantly exceeds the carrying amount. The recoverable
amount is estimated based on value in use (VIU), with VIU being estimated at net present value using an
income approach.
Refer to Note 5.5 for additional details on acquired intangibles assets from the Merus and ProfoundBio
acquisitions.

The impairment losses recognized during 2025 relate to licenses and patents and were primarily
attributable to other intangible assets associated with the acasunlimab program, which was terminated in
the fourth quarter of 2025. The impairment losses during 2024 were related to licenses and patents, which
were not material. The impairment losses for 2025 and 2024 were recognized in Research
and development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Amortization expense was $16 million $11 million, and $8 million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively,
which was recorded in Research and development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Income.
Goodwill
The carrying amount of goodwill was $355 million as of December 31, 2025, due to the acquisition
of ProfoundBio (refer to Note 5.5), and was unchanged from December 31, 2024.. No impairment of
goodwill was recognized in 2025 as the annual impairment test showed that the estimated recoverable
amount exceeded the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which all of Genmab’s
goodwill was allocated.
Goodwill is monitored for impairment at the operating segment level, which is the lowest level CGU to
which consolidated goodwill is allocated and monitored by Management. Genmab operates as a single
CGU, reflecting its single operating segment. The recoverable amount is estimated based on VIU, with VIU
being estimated at net present value using an income approach. The applied discount rate is 8.6%. Cash
flow projections are based on Management-approved forecasts. The forecast period comprises 10 years.
Management considers the use of a forecast period longer than five years to be appropriate given the long-
term nature of pharmaceutical development and commercialization cycles and the expected duration of
economic benefits from the underlying assets. No terminal growth rate was applied, and the growth rate
was not considered a material input in the VIU calculation.
The key estimations relate to volume of market share, pricing, development of new markets and the
success rate for introducing new products and treatments. Assumptions are affected by external factors
such as market and generic competition, and price regulation. VIU is determined using largely
unobservable inputs.
Management has performed sensitivity analyses on the key assumptions used in the VIU calculation.
Reasonably possible changes in the key assumptions, individually or in combination, would not result in the
carrying amount exceeding the recoverable amount, and accordingly no impairment would be required.

Accounting Policies
Research and Development Projects
Internal and subcontracted research costs are charged in full to research and development expenses in the
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they are incurred. Development
costs are also expensed until regulatory approval is obtained or is probable. Genmab has no internally
generated intangible assets from development, as the criteria for recognition of an intangible asset are not
met.
Genmab acquires licenses and rights primarily to gain access to targets and technologies identified by third
parties. Payments to third parties under collaboration and license agreements are assessed to determine
whether such payments should be expensed as incurred as research and development expenses or
capitalized as an intangible asset. Licenses and rights that meet the criteria for capitalization as intangible
assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment losses. Milestone
payments related to capitalized licenses and rights are accounted for as an increase in the cost to acquire
licenses and rights. 
For acquired research and development projects, and intellectual property rights, including acquisition in a
business combination, the likelihood of obtaining future commercial sales is reflected in the cost of the
asset, and thus the probability recognition criteria is always considered to be satisfied. As the cost
of acquired research and development projects can often be measured reliably, these projects fulfil the
capitalization criteria as intangible assets on acquisition. Development costs incurred subsequent to
acquisition are treated consistently with internal project development costs.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting.
Goodwill is allocated to each of the group’s CGU (or groups of CGUs) expected to benefit from the
synergies of the combination. Genmab consists of one single CGU which represents its single operating
segment.
Recognition and Measurement
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less any
accumulated amortization and any impairment loss. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment
testing.
Amortization
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized based on the straight-line method over their
estimated useful lives. This corresponds to the legal duration or the economic useful life depending
on which is shorter. The amortization of intellectual property rights, including IPR&D, commences
after regulatory approval has been obtained or when assets are put in use.

Management’s Judgements and Estimates
Impairment Assessment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Genmab performs its annual test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment in its
fiscal fourth quarter. Indefinite-lived intangible assets and the CGU including goodwill are monitored for
indicators of impairment throughout the year. If indicators of impairment exist, then an impairment test is
performed. The recoverable amount of certain intangible assets was determined using VIU. The VIU used
in impairment tests is based on Management’s projections and anticipated net present value of estimated
future cash flows from marketable products and products in development. Goodwill and intangible assets
not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually or when indicators of impairment are
identified. Goodwill is allocated to the single operating segment. The discount rate used is based on the
Group WACC, adjusted where appropriate, to reflect the risk of the specific asset tested. VIU is determined
using largely unobservable inputs.
Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Factors considered material that could trigger an impairment test include the following:
Development of a competing drug
Realized sales trending below predicted sales
Inconsistent or unfavorable clinical readouts
Changes in the legal framework covering patents, rights, and licenses
Advances in medicine and/or technology that affect the medical treatments
Adverse impact on reputation and/or brand names
An impairment loss is recognized in Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as research
and development expenses when the carrying amount of intangible assets exceeds the recoverable
amount. Impairments on intangible assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed at each reporting date
for possible reversal.

Financials_icon_A.jpg
Accounting Policies
Property and equipment is comprised of leasehold improvements, assets under construction, and
equipment, furniture, and fixtures, which are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment losses.
The cost is comprised of the acquisition price and direct costs related to the acquisition until the asset is
ready for use. Costs include direct costs and costs to subcontractors.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to allocate the cost of the assets, net of any residual
value, over the estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Equipment, furniture and fixtures
3-5 years
Leasehold improvements
15 years or the lease term, if shorter
Depreciation commences when the asset is available for use, including when it is in the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Management. The
useful lives and residual values are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate on a yearly basis. Assets
under construction are not depreciated.
Impairment
If circumstances or changes in Genmab’s operations indicate that the carrying amount of property
and equipment may not be recoverable, Management performs an impairment test of the asset.
The basis for the performance of an impairment test is the recoverable amount of the asset, determined as
the greater of the fair value less cost to sell or its value in use. Value in use is calculated as the net present
value of future cash inflow expected to be generated from the asset.
If the carrying amount of an asset is greater than the recoverable amount, the asset is written down to the
recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income when the impairment is identified.

Accounting Policies
All leases are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a right-of-use (ROU) asset with a
corresponding lease liability, except for short-term leases in which the term is 12 months or less and
low-value leases.
ROU assets represent Genmab’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities
represent Genmab’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The ROU asset is
depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life or the lease term on a straight-line basis. In the
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, depreciation of the ROU asset is recognized over the
lease term in operating expenses and interest expenses related to the lease liability are classified
in financial items.
Genmab determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Genmab leases various properties
and vehicles. Lease contracts are typically made for fixed periods. Lease terms are negotiated on
an individual basis and contain a wide range of terms and conditions.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities
are measured at amortized cost, and include the net present value of fixed payments, less any lease
incentives receivable. As Genmab’s leases generally do not provide an implicit interest rate, Genmab uses
an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date of the lease
in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease terms utilized by Genmab may include options
to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that Genmab will exercise that option. In
determining the lease term, Management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic
incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or
periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be
extended.
ROU assets are measured at cost and include the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability,
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any
initial direct costs, and restoration costs.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-
line basis as an expense in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Accounting Policies
Other investments are measured on initial recognition at fair value, and subsequently at fair value.
Changes in fair value are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within
financial income or expense.
Other investments primarily consist of investments in certain strategic investment funds. Genmab’s share
of the fair value of these fund investments is determined based on the valuation of the underlying
investments included in the fund. Investments in publicly traded equity securities included in these strategic
investment funds are valued based at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the
exchange or over-the-counter market on which they trade, while investments in non-publicly traded equity
securities are based on other factors, including but not limited to, type of the security, the size of the
holding, the initial cost of the security, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the
comparable companies, an analysis of the Company's or issuer's financial statements and with respect to
debt securities, the maturity and creditworthiness. As such, these fund investments have been
characterized as Level 3 investments as fair values are based on significant unobservable inputs.

In 2025 and 2024, allowances related to write downs of excess and obsolete inventories were immaterial
and recognized as expense within cost of product sales in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income.
Financials_icon_A.jpg
Accounting Policies
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value with costs determined on a first-
in, first-out basis. Costs comprise direct and indirect costs relating to the manufacture of inventory mainly
from third-party providers of manufacturing as well as costs related to internal resources and distribution
and logistics. Genmab assesses the recoverability of capitalized inventories during each reporting period
and will write down excess or obsolete inventories to their net realizable value in the period in which the
impairment is identified. Write downs of inventory are included within Cost of product sales in the
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Included in inventories are materials with the intended purpose of being made available for sale. If the
materials are later used in the production of clinical products, the materials are charged to research and
development expense when shipped to the clinical packaging site. Materials ordered exclusively to be used
in Genmab’s research and development process (e.g., early research/clinical trials) are immediately
expensed to research and development as incurred.
Inventory manufactured prior to regulatory approval of a product (prelaunch inventory) is written down to its
net realizable value (that is the probable amount expected to be realized from its sale or use at the time of
production). The amount of this write down is recognized in the Consolidated Statements
of Comprehensive Income as research and development expenses. Once there is a high probability of
regulatory approval being obtained for the product, inventory costs begin to be capitalized. Additionally, the
write-down is reversed, up to no more than the original cost. The reversal of the write-down is recognized
as a reduction to research and development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income.

During 2025 and 2024, there were immaterial and no losses, respectively, related to receivables and the
credit risk on receivables is considered to be limited. The provision for expected credit losses was zero
given that there have been no credit losses over the last three years and the limited credit risk due to high-
quality nature with high credit ratings (top tier life science companies and major distributors) of Genmab’s
customers are not likely to result in future default risk.
The receivables are mainly comprised of royalties, trade receivables, milestones and amounts due under
collaboration agreements and are non-interest bearing receivables which are due less than one year from
the balance sheet date.
Refer to Note 4.2 for additional information about interest receivables and related credit risk.
Financials_icon_A.jpg
Accounting Policies
Initially, trade receivables are designated as financial assets measured at transaction price and other
receivables are measured at fair value. Subsequently receivables are measured in the balance sheet
at amortized cost, which generally corresponds to nominal value less expected credit losses.
Accounts receivable arising from product sales consists of amounts due from customers, net of customer
allowances for chargebacks, cash and other discounts and estimated credit losses. Genmab’s contracts
with customers have initial payment terms that range from 30 to 180 days.
Management measures allowance for doubtful trade receivables based on the simplified approach to
provide for expected credit losses, which requires the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all
trade receivables. The allowance is an estimate based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days
past due.
Loss allowance is calculated using historical analysis of customer payments, past due customer invoice
activity, Dun & Bradstreet credit risk management reports, and specific customer knowledge.
Prepayments include expenditures related to a future financial period. Prepayments are measured at cost.

Contract liabilities relate to the AbbVie collaboration agreement and contract liabilities assumed as part of
the acquisition of Merus.
Under the AbbVie collaboration agreement, Genmab received a non-refundable upfront payment of
$750 million in July 2020, of which $673 million was recognized as license revenue during 2020. The
revenue deferred at the initiation of the AbbVie agreement in June 2020 related to four product concepts to
be identified and subject to a research agreement to be negotiated between Genmab and AbbVie. During
the first quarter of 2022, Genmab and AbbVie entered into the aforementioned research agreement that
governs the research and development activities in regard to the product concepts.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
As part of the continued evaluation of contract liabilities related to the AbbVie collaboration agreement,
Genmab’s classification of contract liabilities reflects the current estimate of co-development activities as of
December 31, 2025. Contract liabilities related to AbbVie have been recognized as reimbursement revenue
in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The amounts recognized in 2025 and 2024
were not material.
Contract liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Merus primarily relate to a collaboration, option and
license agreement between Merus and Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead), under which Merus granted Gilead
access to certain intellectual property and committed to perform related research and collaboration
activities. At inception of the arrangement, Merus identified a performance obligation consisting of research
services and deferred the consideration allocated to this performance obligation. Following the acquisition,
contract liabilities of $51 million were recognized, primarily relating to the Gilead collaboration agreement,
which accounted for $49 million of the additions. The contract liabilities assumed from the acquisition of
Merus are recognized as reimbursement revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income over time as the related performance obligations are satisfied.

Other payables, excluding provisions, are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured in the
balance sheet at amortized cost.
The current other payables are comprised of liabilities that are due less than one year from the balance
sheet date and are in general not interest bearing and settled on an ongoing basis during the next financial
year. The $580 million increase in current other payables is primarily related to the expansion of our
product pipeline as well as accrued termination costs associated with the discontinuance of the
acasunlimab program during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Non-current payables are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to
settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the liability due to passage of time
is recognized as interest expense.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable are measured in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost.
Other Liabilities
Other liabilities primarily include accrued expenses related to our research and development project costs
and are measured in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at amortized cost.

Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Section 4 - Capital Structure,
Financial Risk and Related Items
This section includes disclosures related to how Genmab manages its
capital structure, cash position and related risks and items. Genmab is
primarily financed through partnership collaborations.
4.1 - Capital Management
Genmab’s goal is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market
confidence, and to have adequate liquidity to support the continuous advancement of Genmab’s product
pipeline and business in general. To achieve this goal Genmab invests in different liquidity tiers. To meet
operational goals, Genmab invests in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities. To ensure
sufficient reserves, Genmab invests in short-term securities with an average duration of about six months,
which serves as back-up liquidity for the operating tier. For strategic purposes, Genmab has short term
investments to support the Company’s growth over the longer term. Most of Genmab’s cash and
marketable securities are in USD due to having a larger USD expenditure base than DKK, which provides
better matching of investment balances with actual expenditures. Genmab is primarily financed through
revenues under various collaboration agreements and had, as of December 31, 2025, cash, and cash
equivalents of $1,715 million compared to $1,380 million as of December 31,2024. There were no
marketable securities as of December 31, 2025 compared to marketable securities of $1,574 million as of
December 31, 2024. Genmab liquidated all marketable securities and incurred $5.5 billion of borrowings to
contribute to the financing of the Merus acquisition in December 2025. Genmab’s cash and cash
equivalents and marketable securities support the advancement of our product pipeline and operations.
Genmab entered into financing arrangements total $5.5 billion, consisting of senior secured notes, senior
unsecured notes, and term loans to contribute to the financing of the Merus acquisition. Genmab has
access to up to $500 million in additional funds through the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to Note
4.8 for additional information related to the revolving credit facility and existing borrowings.
The adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the level of DARZALEX and
other royalty streams, progress in our research and development programs, the magnitude of those
programs, our commitments to existing and new clinical collaborators, our ability to establish commercial
and licensing arrangements, our capital expenditures, market developments, and any future acquisitions.
Because Genmab’s future commercial potential and operating profits are hard to predict, Genmab’s policy
is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and a
continuous advancement of Genmab’s product pipeline and business in general.
The Board monitors the share and capital structure to ensure that Genmab’s capital resources support its
strategic goals.
4.2 - Financial Risk
The financial risks of Genmab are managed centrally.
The overall risk management guidelines have been approved by the Board of Directors and include
the Group’s investment policies related to our marketable securities and interest rate risk related to
borrowings. The Group’s risk management guidelines are established to identify and analyze the risks
faced by the Genmab Group, to set the appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor the risks and
adherence to limits. It is Genmab’s policy not to actively speculate in financial risks. The Group’s financial
risk management is directed solely towards monitoring and reducing financial risks which are directly
related to Genmab’s operations.
Management ensures that the interest rate risk is managed by Treasury in accordance with the Interest
Risk Policy. Interest rate risk relates mainly to outstanding interest-bearing debt with floating interest rates.
Interest rate risk management is handled centrally by the Parent Company.
The primary objective of Genmab’s investment activities is to preserve capital and ensure liquidity with
a secondary objective of maximizing the return derived from security investments without significantly
increasing risk. Therefore, our investment policy includes among other items, guidelines and ranges for
which investments (which are primarily shorter-term in nature) are considered to be eligible investments for
Genmab and which investment parameters are to be applied, including maturity limitations and credit
ratings. In addition, the policy includes specific diversification criteria and investment limits to minimize the
risk of loss resulting from over-concentration of assets in a specific class, issuer, currency, country, or
economic sector.
Genmab’s marketable securities are administered by external investment managers. The investment
guidelines and managers are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions, Genmab’s
activities and financial position. Genmab’s investment policy allows investments in debt rated BBB- or
greater by S&P or Fitch and in debt rated Baa3 or greater by Moody’s. The policy also includes additional
allowable investment types such as corporate debt, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and certain
types of AAA rated asset-backed securities.
In addition to the capital management and financing risk mentioned in Note 4.1, Genmab has identified the
following key financial risk areas, which are mainly related to our marketable securities portfolio and
borrowings:
credit risk;
foreign currency risk; and
interest rate risk
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
All of Genmab’s marketable securities are traded in established markets. Given the current market
conditions, all future cash inflows, including re-investments of proceeds from the disposal of marketable
securities, are invested in highly liquid, investment grade securities.

Credit Risk
Genmab is exposed to credit risk and losses on marketable securities, bank deposits and receivables. The
maximum credit exposure related to Genmab’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities was
$1,715 million as of December 31, 2025 compared to $2,954 million as of December 31, 2024. The
maximum credit exposure to Genmab’s receivables was $1,134 million as of December 31, 2025
compared to $930 million as of December 31, 2024.
Genmab maintains a large portion of its investment portfolio in cash equivalents and marketable securities
in USD as well as a portion of cash equivalents and marketable securities in DKK, EUR and GBP as a
natural partial hedge of Genmab A/S’s liability exposures in those currencies.
Marketable Securities
To manage and reduce credit risks on our securities, Genmab’s policy is to ensure only securities from
investment grade issuers are eligible for our portfolios. No issuer of marketable securities can be accepted
if the issuer, at the time of purchase, does not have the credit quality equal to or better than the rating
shown in the table below from at least one of the rating agencies. If an issuer is rated by more than one of
the rating agencies listed below, the credit assessment is made against the lowest rating available for the
issuer.

As of December 31, 2024, 71% of Genmab’s $1,574 million marketable securities were long-term A rated
or higher, or short-term A-1 / P-1 rated by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. Genmab did not have any marketable
securities as of December 31, 2025, as they were liquidated to contribute to the financing of the
Merus acquisition.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
To reduce the credit risk on our bank deposits, Genmab’s policy is only to invest its cash deposits with
highly rated financial institutions. Currently, these financial institutions have a short-term Fitch and S&P
rating of at least F‑1 and A‑1, respectively. In addition, Genmab maintains bank deposits at a level
necessary to support the short-term funding requirements of Genmab. The total value of bank deposits
including AAA rated money market funds and short-term marketable securities classified as cash
equivalents amounted to 1,380 million at the end of 2024. There were no short term marketable securities
classified as cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of
cash used to acquire Merus in December 2025.
Receivables
The credit risk related to our receivables is not significant, despite a concentration of credit risk, due to the
high-quality nature of Genmab’s collaboration partners. As disclosed in Note 2.2, J&J, Novartis, Roche,
AbbVie and BioNTech are Genmab’s primary collaboration partners in which receivables are established
for royalties, milestone revenue and reimbursement revenue. These collaboration partners are life sciences
companies with strong credit worthiness and long-standing relationships with Genmab. Additionally,
Genmab does not have a history of writing off receivables from collaboration partners.
Foreign Currency Risk
Genmab and its foreign subsidiaries are not significantly affected by currency risks as both revenues and
expenses are primarily settled in the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies.
The majority of Genmab’s revenue is generated in USD. Exchange rate changes to the USD, prior to
Genmab A/S changing its functional and group presentation currency from DKK to USD effective January
1, 2025, resulted in changes to the translated value of future net profit before tax and cash flows.
Genmab’s revenue in USD was 81% of total revenue in 2025 as compared to 79% in 2024 and 86%
in 2023.
Under our license agreement with J&J for DARZALEX, for purposes of calculating royalties due to
Genmab, DARZALEX net sales for non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at
a specified annual Currency Hedge Rate. Movements in foreign exchanges against the annual Currency
Hedge Rate will result in changes to royalties due to Genmab impacting net profit before tax and
cash flows.
There is also exposure that exchange rate fluctuations may impact equity as part of the currency
translation adjustments required to convert the investments in foreign subsidiaries from their respective
functional currencies to the presentation currency of USD during consolidation, however any such
fluctuations would be immaterial.
To manage and reduce this foreign currency risk, Genmab maintains a large portion of its investment
portfolio in cash equivalents and marketable securities in USD as well as a portion of cash equivalents and
marketable securities in DKK, EUR and GBP as a natural partial hedge of Genmab A/S’s liability exposures
in those currencies.

Genmab’s USD currency exposure, prior to Genmab A/S changing its functional and group presentation
currency from DKK to USD effective January 1, 2025, mainly related to cash and cash equivalents,
marketable securities, and receivables related to our collaborations with J&J, AbbVie, and Roche. Prior to
January 1, 2025, significant changes in the exchange rate of USD to DKK have caused net profit before tax
to change materially as gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Income. Based on the amount of assets and liabilities denominated in USD as of
December 31, 2024, a 10% increase/decrease in the USD to DKK exchange rate was estimated to impact
Genmab’s net profit before tax by approximately $266 million. The analysis assumed that all other
variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The movements in the income statement and equity
arise from monetary items (cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, and liabilities)
where the functional currency of the entity differs from the currency that the monetary items are
denominated in. As of December 31, 2025, Genmab’s DKK exposure is not material.
Genmab’s EUR exposure is mainly related to our marketable securities, receivables under our
collaboration with BioNTech, intangible assets acquired through the acquisition of Merus and other costs
denominated in EUR. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Genmab’s EUR exposure is not material.
Genmab’s GBP currency exposure is mainly related to contracts and marketable securities denominated in
GBP. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, Genmab’s GBP exposure is not material.
Interest Rate Risk
Genmab is exposed to interest rate risk as the Senior Unsecured Notes of $1 billion and Senior Secured
Notes of $1.5 billion have fixed rates, and Term Loan A of $1 billion and Term Loan B of $2 billion have
been partially swapped to fixed rates using hedging instruments effective January 2026 and Genmab
intends to apply hedge accounting. The effectiveness of the hedging instruments will be monitored by
Management on a quarterly basis. Genmab’s exposure to interest rate risk as of December 31, 2025 is low
due to the debt issuance, and related interest rate exposure, occurring in December 2025
An interest rate change on Term Loan A and Term Loan B of +/- 1 percentage point would not materially
decrease/increase net profit before tax in 2025, primarily due to the loans being acquired in December
2025. There was no interest-bearing debt in 2024.
For more information on Genmab’s borrowings refer to Note 4.8.
Marketable Securities
The securities in which the Group has invested bear interest rate risk, as a change in market-derived
interest rates may cause fluctuations in the fair value of the investments. In accordance with the objective
of the investment activities, the portfolio of securities is monitored on a total return basis.
To control and minimize the interest rate risk, Genmab maintains an investment portfolio in a variety of
securities with a relatively short effective duration with both fixed and variable interest rates.
A sensitivity analysis was performed on Genmab’s marketable securities, and based on exposures in 2024
and 2025, a hypothetical +/- 1% interest rate change would not have resulted in a material change in the
fair values of these financial instruments. Due to the short-term nature of the current investments and to
the extent that Genmab is able to hold the investments to maturity, the current exposure to changes in fair
value due to interest rate changes is considered to be insignificant compared to the fair value of the
portfolio.

Marketable Securities
Substantially all fair market values are determined by reference to external sources using unadjusted
quoted prices in established markets for our marketable securities (Level 1).
Other Investments
Other investments primarily consist of investments in certain strategic investment funds. Genmab’s share
of the fair value of these fund investments is determined based on the valuation of the underlying
investments included in the fund. Investments in publicly traded equity securities included in these strategic
investment funds are valued based at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the
exchange or over-the-counter market on which they trade, while investments in non-publicly traded equity
securities are based on other factors, including but not limited to, type of the security, the size of the
holding, the initial cost of the security, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the
comparable companies, an analysis of the Company's or issuer's financial statements and with respect to
debt securities, the maturity and creditworthiness. As such, these fund investments have been
characterized as Level 3 investments as fair values are not entirely based on observable market data.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during 2025 or 2024. Acquisitions (capital calls), fair value
changes and foreign currency changes on Level 3 investments in 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Accounting Policies
Classification of categories of financial assets and liabilities
Genmab classifies its financial assets and liabilities held into the following measurement categories:
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or
through profit or loss), and
those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual
terms of the cash flows.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other
comprehensive income.
Genmab reclassifies debt investments only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
Further details about the accounting policy for each of the financial assets and liabilities are outlined in the
respective notes.
Refer to Note 3.3 and 4.8 for detailed policies regarding Genmab’s lease liability and borrowings,
respectively.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Fair value measurement
Genmab measures financial instruments, such as marketable securities, at fair value at each balance
sheet date. Management assessed that the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at
amortized cost such as bank deposits, receivables and other payables approximate their carrying amounts
largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based
on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by Genmab.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would
use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
Genmab uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data
are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the
use of unobservable inputs.
For financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, IFRS 13 requires disclosure
of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is,
unobservable inputs).
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis,
Genmab determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing
categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole)
at the end of each reporting period. Any transfers between the different levels are carried out at the end of
the reporting period.

Accounting Policies
Marketable securities are debt instruments that consist of investments in securities with a maturity of 90
days or greater at the time of acquisition. Measurement of marketable securities depends on the business
model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. Genmab assesses its debt
instruments to determine classification based on the following measurement categories:
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortized cost. Interest income
from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any
gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other
financial income or expenses, together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses,
when material, are presented as a separate line item in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income.
Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): Assets that are held to achieve an objective
by both collecting contractual cash flows as well as selling financial assets and where those cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Changes in fair value on a
debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVOCI are recognized in other comprehensive
income. Impairment gains and losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses are
recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and presented within financial
income or expenses in the period in which they arise.
Fair value through profit and loss (FVPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or
FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at
FVPL is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and presented net within
financial income or expenses in the period in which it arises.
Genmab’s portfolio is managed and evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with its stated
investment guidelines and the information provided internally to Management. This business model does
not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI and as a result marketable securities are measured at
FVPL. This classification is consistent with the prior year’s classification.
Genmab invests its cash in deposits with major financial institutions, in AAA rated money market funds,
Danish mortgage bonds, investment grade rated corporate debt, commercial paper, certificates of deposit,
certain types of AAA rated asset backed securities, U.S. Agency bonds, and notes issued by the Danish,
European and U.S. governments. The securities can be purchased and sold using established markets.
Transactions are recognized at the trade date.

1.Certain reclassifications have been made between financial income and expenses for all periods presented. Refer to
Note 1.4 for more information.
Interest Income
Interest income was $138 million in 2025 compared to $144 million in 2024 and $142 million in 2023. The
decrease of $6 million, or 4% from 2024 to 2025 was primarily driven by the lower average cash and cash
equivalents and marketable securities as a result of the ProfoundBio acquisition in the second quarter of
2024, as well as lower interest rates of USD denominated marketable securities in 2025 compared to 2024.
Additionally, Genmab liquidated its entire marketable security portfolio in December 2025 to contribute to
the financing of the Merus acquisition. The increase of $2 million, or 1% from 2023 to 2024, was primarily
driven by the higher cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities in the first half of 2024 compared
to 2023, almost entirely offset by lower cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities in the second
half of 2024 compared to 2023 as a result of liquidating marketable securities and using cash to purchase
ProfoundBio.
Interest Expense on Borrowings
The increase of $27 million from 2024 to 2025, was primarily driven by interest expense associated with
debt issued in December 2025 in connection with financing the Merus acquisition. There was no interest
expense on borrowings in 2024 and 2023.
Refer to Note 4.8 for further details regarding Genmab borrowings.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Foreign Exchange Rate Gains and Losses
Foreign exchange rate loss, net, which excludes foreign exchange rate movements on marketable
securities, was $3 million in 2025 compared to foreign exchange rate gains net of $92 million in 2024 and
foreign exchange rate loss, net of $66 million in 2023. The change from 2024 to 2025 is primarily driven by
a lower exchange rate impact due to the change in functional currency of Genmab A/S from DKK to USD
on January 1, 2025. The change from 2023 to 2024 was primarily driven by foreign exchange rate
movements impacting Genmab’s USD denominated assets (excluding marketable securities) and liabilities,
noting Genmab A/S functional currency was DKK during 2023 and 2024.
Refer to Note 4.2 for additional information on foreign currency risk.
Marketable Securities Gains and Losses
Gain on marketable securities, net, which includes the impact of foreign exchange rate movements,
was $66 million in 2025 compared to gain on marketable securities, net of $130 in 2024 and loss on
marketable securities, net $17 million in 2023. The decrease in gain, net of $64 million, or 49%, from 2024
to 2025 was primarily driven by the change in the functional currency of Genmab A/S effective January 1,
2025. As the majority of Genmab’s investment portfolio is denominated in U.S. dollars, these securities
benefited from the strengthening of the USD against the DKK in 2024. In 2025, Genmab’s DKK and EUR
denominated currencies strengthened against the USD, but to a lesser extent than the USD strengthening
against the DKK in 2024. Additionally, Genmab liquidated its marketable security portfolio in December
2025 to contribute to the financing of the Merus acquisition. The increase in gain of $147 million, or 865%
from 2023 to 2024 was primarily driven by foreign exchange rate movements impacting Genmab’s USD
denominated marketable securities. As the majority of Genmab’s investment portfolio is denominated in
U.S. dollars, these securities benefited from the strengthening of the USD against the DKK in 2024, as
compared to the USD weakening against the DKK in 2023.

4.6 - Share-Based Instruments
Restricted Stock Unit Program
Genmab A/S has established an RSU program (equity-settled share-based payment transactions) as an incentive for Genmab’s employees, members of the Executive Management, and members of the Board of
Directors. RSUs granted to Executive Management are performance-based (PSUs)1.
RSUs are granted by the Board of Directors. RSU grants to members of the Board of Directors and members of the registered Executive Management are subject to the Remuneration Policy adopted at the Annual
General Meeting.
See the table below for a summary of key terms of Genmab’s RSU programs:
RSUs Granted in Periods
Key Terms
December 2019 - February 2021
From February 2021
Grants
RSUs are granted at no cost to employees. Number of shares granted is determined based on closing share price on the grant date.
Vesting (Settlement)
Cliff vesting – RSUs become fully vested on the first banking day of the month following a period of three years from the grant date. The three years cliff vesting also applies to PSUs,
while also subject to the degree of fulfilment of the applicable performance criteria.
After RSUs vest, the holder receives one share in Genmab A/S for each RSU granted. In jurisdictions in which Genmab as an employer is required to withhold tax and settle with the
tax authority on behalf of the employee, Genmab withholds the number of RSUs that are equal to the monetary value of the employee’s tax obligation from the total number of RSUs
that otherwise would have been issued to the employee upon vesting (“net settlement”). Genmab A/S may at its sole discretion in extraordinary circumstances choose to make a
cash settlement instead of delivering shares.
Leaver
Leavers – Forfeit all unvested RSUs except when due to retirement, death, serious
sickness, or serious injury, in which case granted but not yet vested RSUs shall remain
outstanding and will be settled in accordance with their terms.
Notwithstanding the above, the December 2020 RSU grant to members of the Board was
made subject to pro-rata vesting upon termination of board services.
Employees and Executive Management – RSUs remain outstanding and vest accordingly
when the employment relationship is terminated by Genmab without cause.
Good-Leavers2 – May maintain a pro-rata portion of unvested RSUs.
Bad-Leavers3 – Forfeit all unvested RSUs.
Death – Forfeit all unvested RSUs.
Voluntary leavers forfeit unvested RSUs.
1.Annual bonuses are paid in cash, with a portion convertible into deferred RSUs, following the determination of achievement against performance goals and KPIs. The vesting of deferred RSUs is not contingent upon continued service and is not
subject to any forward-looking performance criteria.
2.“Good-Leaver” - Dismissal without cause or termination of employment due to Genmab’s material breach of the RSU or Warrant holder’s employment terms, or if the participant is a member of the Board, if the membership of the Board ceases for
any other reason than as a result of the participant’s death.
3.“Bad-leaver” - Dismissed for cause or during the employment probationary period.
The RSU program contains anti-dilution provisions if changes occur in Genmab’s share capital prior to the vesting date and provisions to accelerate vesting of RSUs in the event of change of control as defined in the
RSU program.

Accounting Policies
Share-Based Compensation Expenses
Share-based compensation expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income based on the estimated fair value of the awards at grant date. Subsequently, the fair value is
not remeasured. The expense recognized reflects an estimate of the number of awards expected to vest
after taking into consideration an estimate of award forfeitures based on historical experience and is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.
Genmab reassesses its estimate of the number of shares expected to vest periodically.
Management expectations related to the achievement of performance goals associated with performance-
based RSU grants are assessed periodically, and that assessment is used to determine whether such
grants are expected to vest or if any revision to the current estimate is required. Genmab recognizes the
impact of the revised estimate of the number of awards expected to vest, if any, as an adjustment to the
income statement over the remaining vesting period. If performance-based milestones related to
performance-based RSU grants are not met or not expected to be met, any share-based compensation
expense recognized to date associated with grants that are not expected to vest will be reversed.
Share-based compensation expenses represent calculated values of warrants, RSUs and performance-
based RSUs granted and do not represent actual cash expenditures. A corresponding amount is
recognized in shareholders’ equity as the warrant, RSU and performance-based RSU programs are
designated as equity-settled share-based payment transactions.
The fair value of each RSU and performance-based RSU granted during the year is calculated using
the closing share price on the grant date. Below is a description of how the fair value of warrants is
measured and the estimates involved.
Financials_icon_B.jpg
Management’s Judgements and Estimates
Share-Based Compensation Expenses
The fair value of each warrant granted during the year is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
This pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions such as:
The expected stock price volatility, which is based upon the historical volatility of Genmab’s
stock price;
The risk-free interest rate, which is determined as the interest rate on Danish government bonds
(bullet issues) with an average maturity of five years;
The expected life of warrants, which is based on vesting terms, expected rate of exercise and life
terms in the current warrant program.
These assumptions can vary over time and can change the fair value of future warrants granted.
Valuation Assumptions for Warrants Granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023
The fair value of each warrant granted during the year is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model
with the following assumptions:

Share Repurchases
At Genmab’s Annual General Meeting on March 12, 2025, the Board of Directors was authorized to allow
Genmab to acquire treasury shares with a total nominal value of up to 10% of the share capital in the
period until and including March 11, 2030. The purchase price for the relevant shares may not deviate by
more than 10% from the price quoted on Nasdaq Copenhagen at the time of the acquisition. Such shares
may only be acquired to the extent that the Company’s total holding of treasury shares does not at any
time exceed a nominal value of 10% of the share capital. The authorization replaced existing previously
provided authorizations to purchase treasury shares.
As announced on March 25, 2025, Genmab initiated a share buy-back program to reduce capital and to
honor our commitments under the RSU program. During 2025, Genmab acquired 2,200,000 of its own
shares under the program, representing approximately 3.3% of share capital as of December 31, 2024.
The total amount incurred to acquire the shares, including directly attributable costs, was $430 million and
was recognized as a deduction to shareholders’ equity. During 2024, Genmab acquired 2,011,853 of its
own shares, representing approximately 3.0% of share capital as of December 31, 2023. The total amount
paid to acquire the shares, including directly attributable costs, was $560 million and was recognized as a
deduction to shareholders’ equity. These shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented within
retained earnings on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, 3,804,436 shares were available for repurchase and 2,619,405 treasury shares
were held by Genmab.
Share Capital Reduction
At Genmab’s Annual General Meeting on March 12, 2025, the decision was made to reduce the share
capital of nominally DKK 2,076,853 by cancellation of 2,076,853 of the Company’s holding of shares with a
nominal value of DKK 1 each. On April 10, 2025, the capital reduction was registered with the Danish
Business Authority.

1.With respect to debt, the amounts below combine interest and scheduled amortization payments. Interest on floating
rate debt was calculated based on the interest rate in effect on December 31, 2025.
Term Loans
In December 2025, Genmab entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a
$1 billion senior secured term A loan facility (the loans thereunder, the “Term A Loans”) and a $2 billion
senior secured term loan B facility (the loans thereunder, the “Term B Loans”, together with the Term A
Loans, the “Loans”), and the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility described in the Revolving Credit Facilities
section. The Loans were obtained to contribute to the financing of the acquisition of Merus.
The Term A Loans are subject to financial covenants, with the financial covenant tests on a quarter-end
basis beginning March 31, 2026. The first financial covenant requires that Genmab’s first lien secured
net leverage ratio (defined as consolidated first lien debt less unrestricted cash, divided by adjusted
consolidated EBITDA) does not exceed 4.5:1.00 from March 31, 2026 through March 31, 2027, and
3.75:1.00 from the quarter ending June 30, 2027, and thereafter.
The second financial covenant is also tested quarterly beginning on March 31, 2026, and requires that
Genmab’s interest coverage ratio (defined as adjusted consolidated EBITDA, divided by consolidated cash
interest expense) does not fall below 2.00:1.00 from March 31, 2026 through March 31, 2027, 2.50:1.00
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
from the quarter ending June 30, 2027 through September 30, 2027, and 3.00:1.00 from the quarter ending
December 31, 2027, and thereafter.
Loans are subject to principal amortization which is reflected in the table above and to mandatory
prepayment in certain circumstances including for asset sales and excess cash flow (as defined in the
Credit Agreement).The Loans are also subject to a mandatory prepayment provision beginning in fiscal
year 2026. After each fiscal year end, if Genmab’s excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement)
exceeds $150 million, 50% of the excess amount is required to be applied to prepay the Loans. The
required prepayment percentage is reduced to 25% if the net leverage ratio is at or below 2.15 :1.00
but above 1.65:1.00, and no excess cash flow prepayment is required if the ratio is at or below 1.65:1.00.
In additional to financial covenants, the Loans contain customary covenants that, among other things,
restrict, with certain exceptions, the ability of each of Genmab and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt,
pay dividends, make certain other restricted payments, incur debt secured by liens, dispose of assets,
engage in consolidations and mergers or sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets. The Loans also
contain customary events of default, including cross-default provisions relating to other material
indebtedness.
The Loans are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all assets of Genmab. As of December 31,
2025, Genmab retains ownership and control of the pledged assets, which continue to be recognized in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of assets, including goodwill and other intangible
assets, corporate tax receivable, inventory, financial assets, and property and equipment pledged as
collateral for the Loans is $11.1 billion.
Refer to Note 5.5 for detailed information regarding Genmab’s acquisition of Merus.
Notes
In December 2025, Genmab entered into Senior Secured Notes of $1.5 billion and Senior Unsecured
Notes of $1.0 billion (together, the “Notes”). The proceeds were also used to finance the Merus acquisition.
The Senior Secured Notes are backed by the same collateral package as the Loans, while the Senior
Unsecured Notes are not collateralized. The Notes contain customary events of default, including cross-
default provisions relating to other material indebtedness.
Revolving Credit Facilities
During the fourth quarter of 2024, Genmab entered into an unsecured three-year revolving credit facility
(“2024 Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $300 million with a syndicate of lenders. During the fourth quarter
of 2025, Genmab terminated the 2024 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2024 Revolving Credit Facility was
undrawn at the date of termination, and no penalties or additional costs were incurred. The termination
reflects Genmab’s updated financing strategy and does not impact its liquidity position, as alternative
sources of funding remain available.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, Genmab entered into the Credit Agreement described in the Term Loan
section, which includes a senior secured five-year revolving credit facility (“2025 Revolving Credit Facility”)
of up to $500 million with a syndicate of lenders.
The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility is subject to the same financial covenants and collateral described in
the Term Loans section.
As of December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding amounts due on, nor any usage of, the 2025
Revolving Credit Facility.
Genmab intends to use the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility to finance working capital needs, and for general
corporate purposes, of Genmab A/S and its subsidiaries.
Reconciliation of borrowings arising from financing activities
There were no borrowings as of December 31, 2024. Borrowings, net of transaction costs, of $5,247 million
were issued in December 2025 in connection with financing the Merus acquisition. Other than
the recognition of accrued interest expense of $27 million, which represents a non-cash movement, there
were no cash or non-cash movements of borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, borrowings were $5,274 million.
Financials_icon_A.jpg
Accounting Policies
Borrowings are financial liabilities that are initially recognized at the fair value of the proceeds received less
transaction costs in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In subsequent periods these are measured
at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense, including the amortization of
transaction costs and any difference between the initial carrying amount and the redemption amount,
is recognized in financial expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income over the
term of the borrowings.

Severance Payments
In the event Genmab terminates the service agreements with any member of the Executive Management
team without cause, Genmab is obliged to pay his/her existing salary for one or two years after the end of
the one-year notice period. However, in the event of termination by Genmab (unless for cause) or by any
member of Executive Management as a result of a change of control of Genmab, Genmab is obliged to
pay compensation equal to his/her existing total salary (including benefits) for up to two years in addition to
the notice period. The total value of remuneration relating to the notice period for new members of
Executive Management cannot exceed two years of remuneration, including all components of the
remuneration. In case of the termination of the service agreements of the Executive Management without
cause, the total impact on Genmab’s financial position is estimated to be approximately
$19 million as of December 31, 2025 (2024: $17 million, 2023: $15 million).
5.2 - Related Party Disclosures
Genmab’s related parties are its Board, Executive Management, and close members of the
family of these persons.
Genmab has not granted any loans, guarantees or other commitments to or on behalf of any of the
members of the Board or members of the Executive Management.
Other than the remuneration and other transactions relating to the Board of Directors and the Executive
Management described in Note 5.1, there were no material related party transactions during 2025, 2024
and 2023.
5.3 - Commitments
Purchase Obligations
Genmab has entered into a number of agreements related to research and development activities that
contain various obligations. These contractual obligations amounted to approximately $608 million as of
December 31, 2025 (2024: approximately $403 million).
Genmab also has certain contingent commitments under license and collaboration agreements that
may become due in the future. As of December 31, 2025, these contingent commitments amounted to
approximately $2.7 billion in potential future development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments
to third parties under license and collaboration agreements for our preclinical and clinical stage
development programs as compared to approximately $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2024.
These milestone payments generally become due and payable only upon the achievement of certain
development, clinical, regulatory or commercial milestones. The events triggering such payments or
obligations have not yet occurred.
In addition to the above obligations, Genmab enters into a variety of agreements and financial
commitments in the normal course of business. The terms generally allow Genmab the option to cancel,
reschedule and adjust our requirements based on our business needs prior to the delivery of goods or
performance of services. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments
under these agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and
circumstances involved in each particular agreement.

Genmab changed auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab (PwC)
to Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab (Deloitte) as Genmab’s new statutory auditor and
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024, replacing
PwC. As such, fees in the table above reflect those incurred by Deloitte in 2025 and 2024 and by
PwC in 2023.
Fees for other services than statutory audit of the financial statements provided by Deloitte amounted to
$0.8 million in 2025, $0.3 million in 2024, and $0.5 million in 2023, provided by PwC. These services
primarily include agreed-upon procedures, other assurance assessments and reports,
and accounting advice.
5.5 -  Acquisitions
Merus N.V.
On December 12, 2025 Genmab completed the acquisition of 100% of the common shares of Merus,
clinical-stage biotechnology company with its late-stage breakthrough therapy asset petosemtamab
(Peto), which is in Phase 3 development, for $97 per share in an all-cash transaction with a total purchase
price of $8,017 million. The transaction was funded through a combination of cash on hand and $5.5 billion
of non-convertible debt financing (Borrowings). Refer to Note 4.8 for detailed information regarding
Genmab’s Borrowings.
The acquisition of Merus does not meet the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3 Business
Combinations, therefore, this transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition since substantially all of
the fair value of the acquired set of assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset (i.e. Peto). The total
consideration of $8,017 million is allocated to net identifiable assets acquired on a relative fair value basis.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
The total consideration for the acquisition of Merus is summarized as follows:

2.Includes right-of-use assets, property and equipment and other investments.
3.Includes other current payables (primarily accrued expenses for R&D and personnel costs), current lease liabilities and
non-current lease liabilities
Acquisition- and integration-related charges of $185 million incurred from the date of acquisition through
December 31, 2025 are primarily related to professional fees incurred by Merus upon close of the
acquisition ($109 million) and payments to Merus option holders for the portion of the equity payout
attributable to the post-acquisition period ($58 million). These charges were expensed rather than
capitalized as part of purchase consideration because they were not directly attributable to the acquisition
of Merus by Genmab. The remaining expenses of $18 million are primarily integration related charges
incurred from the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2025, which are comprised of professional fees
incurred to assist with the integration of Merus into Genmab’s operations post-acquisition. Acquisition and
integration related charges are presented in Genmab’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income.
ProfoundBio, Inc.
On May 21, 2024 (Acquisition Date), Genmab completed the previously announced acquisition of all of the
outstanding shares of ProfoundBio, resulting in ProfoundBio becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of
Genmab. The acquisition of ProfoundBio gave Genmab worldwide rights to three candidates in clinical
development, including ProfoundBio’s lead drug candidate, rinatabart sesutecan (Rina-S). In addition,
Genmab acquired ProfoundBio’s novel ADC technology platforms. Rina-S is a clinical-stage,
FRα-targeted, TOPO1 ADC, which was in Phase 2 of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial at the time of the acquisition,
for the treatment of ovarian cancer and other FRα-expressing solid tumors. Based on the data from the
ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial Genmab intends to broaden the development plans for Rina-S within
ovarian cancer and other FRαexpressing solid tumors. In January 2024, the FDA granted Fast Track
designation to Rina-S for the treatment of patients with FRα-expressing high-grade serous or endometrioid
platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
In addition to payment of $1.72 billion for all of the outstanding shares of ProfoundBio, Genmab also made
a $199 million payment to holders of outstanding ProfoundBio equity awards for settlement of such vested
and non-vested awards. Of the $199 million payment, $187 million related to the portion of awards where
the vesting period was completed prior to the Acquisition Date. This portion of the payment was therefore
determined to be attributable to the pre-combination period and included in purchase consideration. The
remaining $11 million payment related to the portion of awards with future vesting conditions, and therefore
is attributable to post-combination services. The amount attributable to the post-combination service does
not form part of the consideration and was therefore instead recognized as Acquisition and integration
related charges in Genmab’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires that
assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the Acquisition Date and
consolidated into Genmab’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The results of operations for ProfoundBio have
been included in Genmab’s consolidated financial statements from the Acquisition Date. A fair value
measurement has been performed and the purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets,
associated deferred tax liabilities, other assets and liabilities, as well as goodwill being the excess value of
the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (the purchase price
allocation). Adjustments may be applied to the purchase price allocation for a period of up to 12 months
from the Acquisition Date and was therefore finalized during the second quarter of 2025. During the fourth
quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a measurement period adjustment impacting non-current deferred
tax liabilities and goodwill that was not material.

The carrying values of other current assets, property and equipment, other non-current assets and other
current liabilities were determined to approximate their fair values.
The fair value assigned to acquired IPR&D, which was calculated using the multi-period excess earnings
method of the income approach, was based on the present value of expected after-tax cash flows
attributable to Rina-S, which was in Phase 1/2 testing. The present value of expected after-tax cash
flows obtainable from Rina-S and assigned to IPR&D was determined by estimating the after-tax costs
to complete development of Rina-S into a commercially viable product, estimating future revenue and
ongoing expenses to produce, support and sell Rina-S, on an after-tax basis, and discounting the resulting
net cash flows to present value. The revenue and costs projections used were reduced based on the
probability that compounds at similar stages of development will become commercially viable products.
The rate utilized to discount the net cash flows to their present value reflects the risk associated with the
future earnings attributable to the intangible asset. Acquired IPR&D will be accounted for as an intangible
asset not yet available for use until regulatory approval in a major market is received or development is
discontinued.
The fair value of the technology platform intangible asset was calculated using the relief from royalty
method of the income approach. This method includes assigning value based on the economic savings
from owning, rather than in-licensing, the technology platform intangible asset supported by observable
market data for peer companies, then discounting the resulting probability-adjusted net post-tax cash flows
using a discount rate commensurate with the risk associated with the future income or cost savings
attributable to the intangible asset.
The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the acquired intangible assets include discount
rates and certain assumptions that form the basis of future cash flows (such as probabilities of technical
and regulatory success, revenue growth rates, operating margins, and royalty rates).
The excess of purchase price over the fair value amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition. The goodwill recorded as
part of the acquisition is attributable to the intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition at
the time of the acquisition, assembled workforce and deferred tax consequences of the IPR&D and
technology platform intangible asset recorded for financial statement purposes. Genmab does not expect
any portion of this goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill attributable to the acquisition
has been recorded as a non-current asset in Genmab’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and is not
amortized, but is subject to review for impairment annually.
Refer to Note 3.1 for further details related to the accounting for goodwill.
From the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2024, Genmab’s Consolidated Statements of
Comprehensive Income include no revenue and the following expenses associated with the acquisition and
operations of ProfoundBio:

comprised of professional fees incurred to assist with the integration of ProfoundBio into Genmab’s operations post-
acquisition. Additionally, prior to the Acquisition Date, Genmab recorded $16 million in Acquisition and integration-
related charges in Genmab’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income related to professional due diligence
procedures in connection with the acquisition of ProfoundBio. The $16 million of Acquisition- and integration-related
charges incurred prior to the Acquisition Date and the $27 million of Acquisition and integration charges incurred from
the Acquisition Date through December 31, 2024 total $43 million through the fourth quarter of 2024.

Accounting Policies
Business Combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all acquisitions where the target company
meets the definition of a business in accordance with IFRS 3 (Business Combinations). The purchase price
for a business is comprised of the fair value of the assets transferred and liabilities owned to the former
owners, including option holders, of the acquired business and the fair value of any asset or liability
resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Any amount of the purchase price which effectively
comprises a settlement of a pre-existing relationship is not part of the exchange for the acquiree and is
therefore not included in the consideration for the purpose of applying the acquisition method. Settlements
of pre-existing relationships are accounted for as separate transactions in accordance with the relevant
IFRS standards.
Identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are measured at fair value on the date
of acquisition by applying relevant valuation methods. Goodwill is recognized as the excess of purchase
price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Acquisition-related
charges are expensed as incurred and included within Acquisition and integration-related charges in the
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Asset Acquisitions
The asset acquisition method is applied to account for all transactions that do not meet the definition of a
business in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations.
Genmab applies a ‘concentration test,’ which is a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of
activities and assets is not a business. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the
fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar
identifiable assets.
At initial recognition, an asset acquisition is measured at cost. Cost comprises the fair value of
consideration transferred plus any directly attributable acquisition-related costs. The cost price is allocated
to the individual identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values at the
acquisition date. No goodwill or deferred taxes are recognized.
Acquisition-related costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of assets, such as legal, advisory,
and due diligence fees, are capitalized as part of the cost of the acquired assets in accordance with the
relevant IFRS standards (for example, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment or IAS 38 Intangible Assets).
Subsequent measurement of these assets follows the requirements of the relevant IFRS standards
applicable to each asset class.

Management’s Judgements and Estimates –
Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Fair Value and Impairment Assessment of Other Intangible Assets and Goodwill
The application of the acquisition method for a business combination as well as allocation of fair value
through an asset acquisition involve the use of significant estimates because the identifiable net assets of
the acquiree are recognized at their fair values for which observable market prices are typically not
available. This is particularly relevant for intangible assets which require use of valuation techniques
typically based on estimates of present value of future uncertain cash flows. The significant assumptions
used to estimate the value of the acquired intangible assets include discount rates and certain assumptions
that form the basis of future cash flows (such as probabilities of technical and regulatory success, revenue
growth rates, operating margins, and royalty rates).
5.6 - Collaborations and Licenses
Collaborations
Genmab enters into collaborations with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to advance the
development and commercialization of Genmab’s product candidates and to supplement its internal
pipeline. Genmab seeks collaborations that will allow Genmab to retain significant future participation in
product sales through either profit-sharing or royalties paid on net sales. Below is an overview of certain of
Genmab’s collaborations that have had, or are expected in the near term to have, a significant impact on
financial results.
Janssen (Daratumumab/DARZALEX)
In 2012, Genmab entered into a global license, development and commercialization agreement with J&J
for daratumumab, marketed for the treatment of certain multiple myeloma indications as DARZALEX for IV
administration and as DARZALEX FASPRO in the US and DARZALEX SC in Europe for SC administration
(“Janssen Collaboration and License Agreement”). Under the Janssen Collaboration and License
Agreement, J&J is fully responsible for developing and commercializing daratumumab, and all costs
associated therewith. Genmab receives tiered royalty payments between 12% and 20% based on J&J’s
annual net product sales with J&J reducing such royalty payments for Genmab’s share of J&J’s royalty
payments made to Halozyme. In addition, the royalties payable by J&J are limited in time and subject
to reduction on a country-by-country basis for customary reduction events, including for lack of Genmab
patent coverage or upon patent expiration or invalidation in the relevant country and upon the first
commercial sale of a biosimilar product in the relevant country (for as long as the biosimilar product
remains for sale in that country). Pursuant to the terms of the Janssen Collaboration and License
Agreement, J&J’s obligation to pay royalties to us will expire on a country-by-country basis on the later
of the date that is 13 years after the first commercial sale of daratumumab in such country or upon the
expiration or invalidation of the last-to-expire relevant Genmab patent covering daratumumab in such
country. The first US, European and Japanese sales of daratumumab occurred in 2015, 2016 and 2017,
respectively. We have issued patents and pending patent applications covering daratumumab in numerous
jurisdictions, including patents issued in the US, Europe and Japan. J&J owns a separate patent portfolio
related to the subcutaneous formulation of daratumumab used in DARZALEX FASPRO/DARZALEX SC,
but a binding arbitration determined that we are not entitled to royalties based on these separate patents.
Our issued U.S., European and Japanese patents covering daratumumab, after giving effect to issued
U.S., European and Japanese patent term extensions and supplementary protection certificates, expire in
2029, 2031 and begin to expire in 2030, respectively. Assuming constant underlying sales of DARZALEX,
we expect that our royalties from sales of DARZALEX will begin to decline materially in 2029 following
expiration of our U.S. patent rights on daratumumab. Genmab is also eligible to receive certain additional
payments in connection with development, regulatory and sales milestones.
In September 2020, Genmab commenced arbitration against J&J with respect to two different provisions of
our Janssen Collaboration and License Agreement, both relating to royalties payable to Genmab on net
sales of daratumumab (marketed as DARZALEX for IV administration and as DARZALEX FASPRO in the
US and as DARZALEX SC in Europe for SC administration). In April 2022, the arbitral tribunal issued an
award in that arbitration denying both of Genmab’s claims. Genmab did not seek review of the award.
On June 9, 2022, Genmab announced the commencement of a second arbitration under the Janssen
Collaboration and License Agreement with claims for milestone payments for daratumumab SC of
$405 million and a separate 13-year royalty term for daratumumab SC on a country-by-country basis, from
the date of the first commercial sale of daratumumab SC in each such country. This second arbitration
followed from the award in the prior arbitration, where the tribunal ruled in favor of Janssen on the question
as to whether Genmab is required to share in Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme for its technology
used in the daratumumab SC product. The tribunal based its ruling on the finding that DARZALEX
FASPRO constitutes a new licensed product under the Janssen Collaboration and License Agreement.
On April 21, 2023, the arbitral tribunal dismissed Genmab’s claims regarding the second arbitration, on the
basis that these claims should have been brought in the first arbitration. One arbitrator dissented Genmab
filed a request for review of the award, which was denied on January 23, 2024. As a result, the dismissal of
Genmab’s claims in the second arbitration is now final.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Novartis (Ofatumumab/Kesimpta)
Genmab and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) entered a co-development and collaboration agreement for
ofatumumab (“Novartis Agreement”) in 2006. The full rights to ofatumumab were transferred from GSK to
Novartis in 2015. Novartis is now fully responsible for the development and commercialization
of ofatumumab in all potential indications, including autoimmune diseases. Genmab is entitled to a 10%
royalty payment on net sales for non-cancer treatments. Genmab pays a royalty to Medarex based on
Kesimpta net sales. Novartis’s obligation to pay royalties to Genmab under the Novartis Agreement expires
on a country-by-country basis only in the event Novartis is no longer selling such product in a given
country. The royalties are on a country‑by‑country basis subject to reduction in case of significant
competition by competing products (as defined in the Novartis Agreement) or a joint committee
determination that a license of intellectual property owned by a third-party is necessary
for commercialization. All potential regulatory and sales milestone payments under this agreement
have been achieved and no further milestone payments remain outstanding.
Roche (Teprotumumab/TEPEZZA)
In May 2001, Genmab entered a research collaboration with Roche to develop human antibodies to
disease targets identified by Roche (“Roche Agreement”). In 2002, this alliance was expanded. Under the
Roche Agreement, Genmab will receive milestones as well as royalty payments on successful products.
Teprotumumab was initially developed in collaboration between Genmab and Roche, and later investigated
under license from Roche by River Vision Development Corporation and subsequently Horizon
Therapeutics for ophthalmic use. The product was approved under the brand name TEPEZZA in 2020 by
the FDA for the treatment of TED, in 2024 by Japan's MHLW for the treatment of active or high clinical
activity score (CAS) TED and in 2025 by the European Commission for treating moderate-to-severe TED.
In October 2023, Amgen completed its acquisition of Horizon Therapeutics, including all rights to the
development and commercialization of teprotumumab. Under the terms of the Roche Agreement, Genmab
receives a mid-single digit royalty on net sales of TEPEZZA, on a country-by-country basis, for 10 years
following the first commercial sale in such country.
Pfizer (Tisotumab vedotin/Tivdak)
In September 2010, Genmab and Pfizer entered into an ADC collaboration, and a commercial license and
collaboration agreement (the “Pfizer License and Collaboration Agreement”) was executed in October
2011. In October 2020, Genmab and Pfizer entered into a joint commercialization agreement (“Tivdak Joint
Commercialization Agreement”) where Genmab would co-promote tisotumab vedotin, marketed as Tivdak,
in the US, and lead commercial operational activities and record sales in Japan, while Pfizer would lead
operational commercial activities in the US, Europe and China with a 50:50 profit split in those markets. In
all other markets, if any, Pfizer would be responsible for commercializing tisotumab vedotin and Genmab
would receive royalties based on a percentage of aggregate net sales ranging from the mid-teens to the
mid-twenties. Effective January 1, 2025, Genmab and Pfizer agreed to amend the Pfizer License and
Collaboration Agreement and the Tivdak Joint Commercialization Agreement, assigning Genmab sole
responsibility for the development and commercialization of Tivdak for second line plus recurrent or
metastatic cervical cancer in Europe and all other regions globally, excluding the United States and China.
With this amendment, Genmab will continue to co-promote Tivdak with Pfizer in the US and will record
sales for Europe, Japan and rest of world markets (excluding the United States and China), once
commercialized, and will provide royalties to Pfizer on net sales in the low teens. Pfizer will continue to lead
commercialization activities in China, when approved. The companies will continue the practice of joint
decision-making on the worldwide development and commercialization strategy for tisotumab vedotin.
AbbVie (Epcoritamab/EPKINLY/TEPKINLY)
On June 10, 2020, Genmab entered into a broad oncology collaboration agreement with AbbVie
(“AbbVie Collaboration and License Agreement”) to jointly develop and commercialize products
including epcoritamab, and subsequently into a discovery research collaboration for up to four future
differentiated antibody therapeutics for cancer. The companies will share commercial responsibilities for
epcoritamab in the US and Japan, with AbbVie responsible for further global commercialization. Genmab is
the principal for net sales in the US and Japan and receives tiered royalties between 22% and 26% on
remaining net sales outside of these territories, subject to certain royalty reductions. For any product
candidates developed as a result of the companies’ discovery research collaboration, Genmab and AbbVie
will share responsibilities for global development and commercialization in the US and Japan. Genmab
retains the right to co-commercialize these products, along with AbbVie, outside of the US and Japan.
Under the terms of the AbbVie Collaboration and License Agreement, Genmab received a $750 million
upfront payment in June 2020 and was initially entitled to receive an aggregate of up to $3.15 billion in
additional development, regulatory and sales milestone payments for all programs. Included in these
potential milestones were up to $1.15 billion in payments related to clinical development and commercial
success across the three bispecific antibody programs originally included in the AbbVie Collaboration and
License Agreement.
As of December 31, 2025, as a result of epcoritamab and one additional antibody product candidate being
the remaining bispecific antibody programs under the original AbbVie Collaboration and License
Agreement, we are instead contractually entitled to receive an aggregate of up to $1.06 billion in additional
development, regulatory and sales milestone payments. In addition, and also included in these potential
milestones, if the remaining next-generation antibody product candidate is developed as a result of the
discovery research collaboration and is successful, we are eligible to receive up to $510 million in option
exercise and success-based milestones.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
In May 2023, epcoritamab received initial approval from the FDA and is marketed under the tradename
EPKINLY. In September 2023, epcoritamab received initial approval from the EC and the Japan MHLW
and is marketed under the tradenames TEPKINLY and EPKINLY, respectively. Genmab is entitled to tiered
royalties between 22% and 26% on net sales for epcoritamab outside the US and Japan. Except for these
royalty-bearing sales, Genmab will share with AbbVie profits from the sale of licensed products on a 50:50
basis. Genmab and AbbVie split 50:50 the development costs related to epcoritamab, while Genmab will
be responsible for 100% of the costs of the discovery research programs up to opt-in.
The total transaction price of $750 million was allocated to the four performance obligations based on the
best estimate of relative stand-alone selling prices. The allocation of the transaction price to the
performance obligations is summarized below:
Delivery of licenses for the three programs: $672 million
Co-development activities for the product concepts: $78 million
For the license grants, Genmab based the stand-alone selling price on a discounted cash flow approach
and considered several factors including, but not limited to, discount rate, development timeline, regulatory
risks, estimated market demand and future revenue potential. For co-development activities related to up
to four product concepts, a cost-plus margin approach was utilized.
The performance obligations related to the delivery of licenses were completed at a point in time
(June 2020) and Genmab recognized $672 million as license fee revenue in June 2020. After delivery of
the licenses, Genmab shares further development and commercial costs equally with AbbVie. AbbVie is
not assessed as a customer but as a collaboration partner, and as such this part of the collaboration is not
in scope of IFRS 15.
Refer to Note 3.7 for information pertaining to the remaining performance obligation related to co-
development activities for the product concepts.
BioNTech
In May 2015, Genmab entered into an agreement with BioNTech to jointly research, develop and
commercialize bispecific antibody products using Genmab’s DuoBody technology platform (“BioNTech
Agreement”). Under the terms of the BioNTech Agreement, BioNTech will provide proprietary antibodies
against key immunomodulatory targets, while Genmab provides proprietary antibodies and access to its
DuoBody technology platform. Genmab paid an upfront fee of $10 million to BioNTech and an additional
fee as certain BioNTech assets were selected for further development. If the companies jointly select any
product candidates for clinical development, development costs and product ownership will be shared
equally going forward. If one of the companies does not wish to move a product candidate forward,
the other company is entitled to continue developing the product on predetermined licensing terms.
The BioNTech Agreement also includes provisions which will allow the parties to opt out of joint
development at key points. During July 2022, Genmab and BioNTech expanded this collaboration
to include the joint research, development and commercialization of monospecific antibody candidates
using Genmab’s HexaBody technology platform.
Genmab and BioNTech have one investigational medicine currently in active clinical development:
DuoBody-EpCAMx4-1BB (GEN1059/BNT314). In August 2024, BioNTech opted not to participate in the
further development of the acasunlimab (GEN1046) program under the parties’ existing License and
Collaboration Agreement for reasons related to BioNTech’s portfolio strategy. Genmab assumed sole
responsibility for the continued development and potential commercialization of acasunlimab. In the fourth
quarter of 2025, Genmab announced the discontinuation of further clinical development for acasunlimab.
This decision was made as part of Genmab’s strategic focus on the most value‑creating opportunities in its
late‑stage portfolio and following a thorough assessment of the evolving competitive landscape.
Refer to Note 3.1 for information pertaining to impairment loss associated with the discontinuation of
GEN1046.
Janssen (DuoBody)
In July 2012, and as amended in December 2013, Genmab entered into a collaboration with J&J to create
and develop bispecific antibodies using our DuoBody technology platform.
As of December 31, 2025, three DuoBody-based products created under this collaboration were in
active clinical development and had been approved by regulatory authorities: RYBREVANT, and an
SC formulation, RYBREVANT FASPRO, TECVAYLI and TALVEY. Under our DuoBody Agreement with J&J,
Genmab is eligible to receive milestones and receives royalties between 8% and 10% on net sales of
RYBREVANT, with J&J reducing such royalty payments for Genmab’s share of J&J’s royalty payments
made to Halozyme, a mid-single digit royalty on net sales of TECVAYLI, and a mid-single digit royalty
on net sales of TALVEY, all of which are subject to a reduction of such royalty payment in countries and
territories where there are no relevant patents (as defined in the DuoBody Agreement), among other
reductions. Pursuant to the terms of the DuoBody Agreement, J&J’s obligation to pay these royalties will
expire on a country-by-country and licensed product-by-licensed product basis on the later of the date that
is 10 years after the first sale of each licensed product in such country or upon the expiration of the last-to-
expire relevant patent (as defined in the DuoBody Agreement) covering the licensed product in such
country. Genmab pays a royalty to Medarex based on RYBREVANT net sales.
Gilead
In March 2024, prior to its acquisition by Genmab, Merus entered into a collaboration, option and license
agreement with Gilead (Gilead Collaboration Agreement) to research and develop trispecific T-cell
engaging antibody product candidates using Merus’ technology platform. Under the terms of the
agreement, the collaboration included two preclinical research programs, with an option for Gilead to
include a third program.
Financial Statements for the Genmab Group
Under the Gilead Collaboration Agreement, Merus granted Gilead a non-exclusive license and agreed to
perform related research and collaboration activities during the research term. On a program-by-program
basis, Gilead was granted an exclusive option to obtain an exclusive license for further development and
commercialization of products arising from each program. At the acquisition date, no exclusive license
options had been exercised by Gilead.
Under the Gilead Collaboration Agreement, Merus received a non-refundable upfront payment and
Genmab is eligible to receive additional consideration in the form of option exercise payments,
development and commercialization milestone payments, and tiered royalties between 5% and 11% on net
sales of any products successfully commercialized under the Gilead Collaboration Agreement.
Refer to Note 3.7 for information pertaining to the remaining performance obligation.
5.7 - Contingencies
Legal Contingency
Chugai Patent Infringement Complaint
In 2024, Chugai filed a lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court in Japan against AbbVie’s and Genmab’s
Japanese subsidiaries asserting that their activities with EPKINLY (epcoritamab) in Japan infringe two
Japanese patents held by Chugai claiming damages and injunctive relief. In September 2025, Chugai filed
two further lawsuits in the same court, against the same parties and with similar assertions, based on two
newly granted Japanese patents held by Chugai which are similar to the patents from the original lawsuit.
Genmab and AbbVie believe that the four Japanese patents are invalid and not infringed and intend to
vigorously defend against the lawsuit, and thus no provision has been recognized related to this matter.
AbbVie Rina-S Trade Secret Complaint
During the first quarter of 2025, AbbVie filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Washington (Seattle) naming Genmab A/S; ProfoundBio US Co.; ProfoundBio (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.; and
former AbbVie employees as defendants. AbbVie alleges that the defendants have misappropriated
AbbVie’s alleged trade secrets relating to the use of disaccharides to improve the hydrophilicity of drug-
linkers in ADCs in connection with Rina-S and other ADC pipeline products of ProfoundBio. AbbVie is
seeking damages and broad injunctive relief. AbbVie is not asserting or enforcing any patent rights against
the defendants, and to Genmab’s knowledge, AbbVie has not pursued any development of products
incorporating their alleged trade secrets. During the fourth quarter of 2025, AbbVie filed a complaint with
the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) under Section 337 of the Tariff Act against ProfoundBio US
Co.; ProfoundBio (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.; Genmab A/S; Genmab B.V.; and Genmab US, Inc., seeking to
exclude certain antibody drug conjugate products from importation into the United States. The district court
action has since been stayed. The ITC complaint is based on allegations that are substantially similar to
those asserted in the Washington district court action.
Genmab categorically refutes these allegations and will vigorously defend the Company against AbbVie’s
claims, and thus no provision has been recorded related to this matter.

Distribution Of The Year’s Profit
The Board of Directors proposes that the parent company’s 2025 net profit of $1,204 million (2024: net profit of $1,630 million) be carried forward to next year
by transfer to retained earnings.
Financial Statements of the Parent Company
Notes to the Financial Statements
of the Parent Company
1.1 - Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the parent company
have been prepared in accordance with the
IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
and in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the
EU and further disclosure requirements for listed
companies in Denmark.
A number of new or amended standards
became applicable for the current reporting period.
Genmab A/S did not have to change its accounting
policies as a result of the adoption of these
standards.
(In all accompanying tables, amounts of dollars are
expressed in millions, except per share amounts,
unless otherwise noted).
Refer to Note 1.2 in the consolidated financial
statements for a description of new accounting
policies and disclosures of the Group.
Refer to Note 1.3 in the consolidated financial
statements for a description of Management’s
judgements and estimates under IFRS.
Refer to Note 1.4 in the consolidated financial
statements for additional information regarding the
reclassifications of the Group financial statements.
Supplementary Accounting Policies
for the Parent Company
Investments in Subsidiaries
The cost method is used for measuring the
investments in subsidiaries. Under the cost method,
investments in subsidiaries are measured at
historical cost. Equity interests in foreign currencies
are translated to the reporting currency by use of
historical exchange rates prevailing at the time of
investment.
Additions to the carrying value of investment
in subsidiaries include capital contributions
made by the parent and share-based payment
transactions related to employees of the respective
subsidiaries based on where the employee has
rendered service.
Distributions from the investment are recognized as
income when declared, if any. If the distribution
exceeds the current period income or if
circumstances or changes in Genmab’s operations
indicate that the carrying amount of the subsidiary
may not be recoverable, the carrying amount is
tested for impairment. Where the recoverable
amount of the investments is lower than cost, the
investments are written down to this lower value.
Refer to Note 1.1 in the consolidated financial
statements for a description of the accounting
policies of the Group.
Presentation Currency
The financial statements of the parent company
were originally presented in Danish Kroner (DKK).
Genmab changed its presentation currency from
DKK to USD effective January 1, 2025. The change
was made to better reflect the Company’s financial
position. For purposes of restatement of Genmab’s
financial statements of the parent company as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2024 and
January 1, 2024, Management has translated the
financial statements of the parent company and
related notes into USD for all periods presented.
The statement of comprehensive income and the
statement of cash flows, and related notes, have
been translated into the presentation currency
using the average exchange rates prevailing during
each reporting period. In the balance sheets, and
related notes, all assets and liabilities have been
translated using the period-end exchange rates,
and all resulting exchange differences have been
recognized in accumulated other comprehensive
income. Shareholders’ equity balances, and related
notes, have been translated using historical rates in
effect on the date of the transactions and all
resulting exchange differences have been
recognized in accumulated other comprehensive
income. The DKK/USD exchange rates used to
reflect the change in presentation currency were as
follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements of the Parent Company
1.2 - Revisions and Reclassifications of Prior Period Financial
Statements
Restatement
During 2025, two adjustments totaling $107 million were identified that should have been recorded in
Genmab A/S’s financial statements in 2024 but were instead recorded in 2025. These adjustments, which
had a $24 million impact to corporate tax expense and net deferred tax liabilities, related to the transfer
pricing agreement between Genmab A/S and subsidiary, Genmab U.S. Inc for reimbursement for R&D and
SG&A services. Genmab evaluated the error under IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”, IAS 8
“Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, and determined that the related
impact of this error would be material to Genmab’s financial statements of the parent company.
Accordingly, Genmab has restated the 2024 financial statements and related notes included herein.
The comparative figures for fiscal years 2024 have been revised accordingly

Parent Company intangible assets include IPR&D, a technology platform asset and licenses and rights
primarily to gain access to targets and technologies identified by third parties as well as subsidiaries.
Refer to Note 3.1 in the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding intangible
assets of the Group. Refer to Note 18 in the parent financial statements for additional information
regarding the intangible assets and goodwill acquired through the ProfoundBio acquisition.
Intangible Assets
The increase in the gross carrying value of intangible assets during 2025 was primarily related to
milestones achieved under third party collaboration agreements, as well as intercompany milestones. The
increase in the gross carrying value of intangible assets during 2024 was primarily due to the addition of
approximately $1,712 million of IPR&D and $180 million of a technology platform asset from the
ProfoundBio acquisition. The technology platform asset is being amortized over its estimated useful life of
15 years. These intellectual property rights were transferred from ProfoundBio US to Genmab A/S during
the fourth quarter of 2024. As of December 31, 2025, the technology platform asset has a remaining useful
life of approximately 14 years.
The impairment losses recognized during the year relate to licenses and patents and primarily reflect
impairments of other intangible assets associated with the acasunlimab program, which was terminated in
the fourth quarter of 2025, and the Hexabody-OX40 program, which was terminated in the second quarter
of 2025. The impairment losses were recognized in research and development expenses in the Parent
Company Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Amortization expense was $15 million and $5 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively, which was recorded
in Research and development expenses in the Statements of Comprehensive Income of the Parent
Company.

receivables primarily relate to intercompany funding and balances arising in the ordinary course
of business.
Expected credit losses are assessed using the simplified approach. Management considers the credit risk
to be low, as the subsidiaries are wholly owned and funded by Genmab A/S, and there is no history of
defaults. Accordingly, no material expected credit losses have been recognized.

1.Certain reclassifications have been made between financial income and expenses for all periods presented. Refer to
parent  Note 1.2 for more information.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, ProfoundBio US (an indirect subsidiary of Genmab A/S) sold its
intangible assets to Genmab A/S. Following this transaction, Genmab A/S ultimately received dividend
income. The dividend income received of $1.9 billion was recognized as Financial Income in the
statements of comprehensive income of the parent company.
As a result of the above, due to the significant deterioration in the value of Genmab A/S’s indirect
investment in ProfoundBio US, Genmab A/S ultimately recorded a $1.5 billion loss on impairment of its
investment in subsidiaries. The difference between the dividend income received by Genmab A/S in this
transaction and the loss on impairment of investment in subsidiaries relates to goodwill retained at the
subsidiary level. The $1.5 billion impairment loss was recognized as Financial Expense in the statements
of comprehensive income of the parent company.
Notes to the Financial Statements of the Parent Company
Refer to Note 5.5 in the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the
acquisition of ProfoundBio and Note 18 in the parent company financial statements for additional

the subsidiary may use to draw from in order to secure the necessary funding of its activities.

19 - Commitments
Purchase Obligations
Genmab A/S has entered into a number of agreements related to research and development activities that
contain various obligations. These contractual obligations amounted to approximately $353 million as of
December 31, 2025 (2024: approximately $401 million).
Genmab A/S also has certain contingent commitments under our license and collaboration agreements
that may become due in the future. As of December 31, 2025, these contingent commitments amounted to
approximately $2,502 million in potential future development, regulatory and commercial milestone
payments to third parties under license and collaboration agreements for our preclinical and clinical stage
development programs as compared to approximately $1,723 million as of December 31, 2024. These
milestone payments generally become due and payable only upon the achievement of certain
development, clinical, regulatory or commercial milestones. The events triggering such payments or
obligations have not yet occurred.
In addition to the above obligations, Genmab A/S enters into a variety of agreements and financial
commitments in the normal course of business. The terms generally allow us the option to cancel,
reschedule and adjust our requirements based on our business needs prior to the delivery of goods or
performance of services. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments
under these agreements due to the conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts and
circumstances involved in each particular agreement.
Financial Guarantees
As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Genmab A/S has financial bank guarantees of
$2 million issued as security for lease obligations under certain lease agreements. The guarantees
represent the Group’s maximum exposure under these arrangements. No losses are expected under the
guarantees.
Refer to Note 5.3 in the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding
commitments of the Group and Note 5.7 in the consolidated financial statements for additional information
regarding contingencies of the Group.

Independent Auditor’s Reports
To the shareholders of
Genmab A/S
Report on the consolidated
financial statements and the
parent financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements of
Genmab A/S for the financial year January 1, 2025
– December 31, 2025, which comprise
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive
Income, Consolidated Balance Sheets,
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, and
notes, including material accounting policy
information, for the Group, and Income Statements,
Balance Sheets, Statements of Cash Flows,
Statements of Changes in Equity and notes,
including material accounting policy information for
the Parent. The consolidated financial statements
and the parent financial statements are prepared in
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as
endorsed by the EU and further disclosure
requirements for listed companies in Denmark.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements give
a true and fair view of the Group’s and the Parent’s
financial position at December 31, 2025 , and of the
results of their operations and cash flows for the
financial year January 1, 2025 – December 31,
2025 in accordance with IFRS Accounting
Standards as endorsed by the EU and further
disclosure requirements for listed companies
in Denmark.
Our opinion is consistent with our Long Form Audit
Report issued to the Audit & Finance Committee
and the Board of Directors.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the
additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our
responsibilities under those standards and
requirements are further described in the "Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements and the parent financial
statements" section of this auditor’s report. We are
independent of the Group in accordance with the
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
International Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (IESBA Code), as applicable to audits of
financial statements of public interest entities, and the
additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark
to audits of financial statements of public interest
entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, we have
not provided any prohibited non-audit services as
referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No
537/2014.
We were appointed auditors of Genmab A/S for the
first time on March 13, 2024 for the financial year
2024. We have been reappointed annually by
decision of the general meeting for a total
continuous engagement period of 2 years up to and
including the financial year 2025.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our
professional judgement, were of most significance
in our audit of the consolidated financial statements
and the parent financial statements for the financial
year January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit
of the consolidated financial statements and the
parent financial statements as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide
a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of Acquired IPR&D Asset
in the Merus N.V. Acquisition
Refer to Notes 3.1 and 5.5 to the consolidated
financial statements.
The Company acquired Merus N.V. (“Merus”) for
USD 8.017 billion on December 12, 2025. The
Company accounted for the acquisition as an asset
acquisition based on an asset concentration test in
accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations, as
substantially all of the fair value of the acquired
assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset.
Intangible assets acquired primarily included an in-
process research and development intangible
asset (“Acquired IPR&D asset”). The Company
allocated the cost price of the Acquired IPR&D
asset using an income approach to estimate the
fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value
determination of the Acquired IPR&D asset
required the Company to apply significant
estimates and assumptions related to the
forecasted future cash flows, such as probabilities
of technical and regulatory success, and the
determination of the discount rates.
We identified the valuation of the Acquired IPR&D
asset for the Merus acquisition as a key audit
matter because of the high level of complexity and
management judgement involved in determining the
above outlined significant estimates and
assumptions used by the Company to determine
the fair value of the asset. This required a high
degree of auditor judgement and an increased
extent of effort when performing audit procedures to
evaluate the reasonableness of management’s
estimates and assumptions.
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s
valuation of the Acquired IPR&D asset in the Merus
acquisition included the following, among others:
We performed corroborative inquiries of key
individuals from senior leadership, including
research & development, and personnel involved
in forecasting the future cash flows in
determining the appropriateness of the
probabilities of technical and regulatory success.
We tested the effectiveness of controls relating
to management's review of the significant
estimates and assumptions related to the
forecasted future cash flows, including the
determination of the probabilities of technical and
regulatory success and discount rates applied.
We evaluated the probabilities of technical and
regulatory success against external medical
studies and industry benchmarks to determine if
these were corroborative or contradictory to the
probabilities of technical and regulatory success
applied by management.
With the assistance of our valuation specialists,
we evaluated the appropriateness of the
valuation method and we tested the source
information and inputs applied in the
determination of the discount rates, including
comparison to publicly available information of
comparable companies, and tested the
mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
Independent Auditor’s Reports
Revenue recognition of royalty
revenue
Refer to Note 2.1 to the consolidated financial
statements.
The Company recognized royalty revenue, where
revenue is recognized based on net sales by
collaboration partners. The Company uses net
sales provided by its collaboration partners as an
input to its calculation of the amount of royalty
revenue to recognize in each period. The
preliminary net sales data provided by the
collaboration partner may change once final net
sales data is available.
We identified the revenue recognition of royalty
contracts for selected products as a key audit
matter because of the significant estimation
uncertainty related to the net sales data provided
by collaboration partners. Specifically, the
collaboration partner’s estimate of net sales could
change based on the final net sales impacting the
royalty revenue recognized in each period. This
required a high degree of auditor judgement and
an increased extent of effort when performing
audit procedures to evaluate the reliability of
management’s estimates of the net sales. Further,
the contracts with the collaboration partners are
complex and contain multiple clauses that directly
impact revenue recognition, which require an
increased extent of audit effort to ensure accurate
and complete revenue recognition.
Our audit procedures related to the royalty
revenue recognized based on the significant
assumption of estimated net sales provided by the
collaboration partners and the complex and
multiple clauses in the contracts included the
following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of controls relating
to management’s review of the estimated net
sales used in the determination of royalty
revenue recognition.
We tested the overall reliability of the estimated
net sales reported by the collaboration partners
by assessing the historical accuracy of the
estimates.
We tested the recognition of royalty revenue by
reconciling to the contract terms, cash receipts
and royalty reports from collaboration partners
or reported net sales.
We obtained external confirmations from
collaboration partners on the estimated and
actual net sales amounts reported.
Statement on Management’s Review
Management is responsible for the
Management’s Review.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements
does not cover the Management’s Review,
and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated
financial statements and the parent financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the
Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider
whether the Management’s Review is materially
inconsistent with the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, we considered whether Management’s
Review includes the disclosures required by the
Danish Financial Statements Act. This does not
include the requirements in section 99a related to
the sustainability statements covered by the
separate auditor’s limited assurance report hereon.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view,
Management’s Review is in accordance with the
consolidated financial statements and the parent
financial statements and has been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the Danish
Financial Statements Act except for the
requirements in section 99a related to the
sustainability statements cf. above.  We did not
identify any material misstatement of the
Management’s Review.
Management's responsibilities
for the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial
statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of
consolidated financial statements and parent
financial statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as
endorsed by the EU and further disclosure
requirements for listed companies in Denmark, and
for such internal control as Management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation
of consolidated financial statements and parent
financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements
and the parent financial statements, Management is
responsible for assessing the Group’s and the
Parent’s ability to continue as a going concern, for
disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern, and for using the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements
unless Management either intends to liquidate the
Group or the Entity or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Independent Auditor’s Reports
Auditor's responsibilities for the
audit of the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial
statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAs and the additional requirements
applicable in Denmark will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these consolidated financial statements and these
parent financial statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in
Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and
perform audit procedures responsive to those
risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control
relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Group’s and the Parent’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by Management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of
Management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the consolidated
financial statements and the parent financial
statements, and, based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent’s
ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditor’s
report to the related disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements and the parent
financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our
conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report.
However, future events or conditions may cause
the Group and the Entity to cease to continue as
a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and
content of the consolidated financial statements
and the parent financial statements, including
the disclosures in the notes, and whether the
consolidated financial statements and the parent
financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events in a manner that gives a
true and fair view.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding
the financial information of the entities or
business units within the group as a basis for
forming an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements.
We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and review of the audit work performed for
purposes of the group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with
governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance
with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and, where applicable, safeguards
put in place and measures taken to eliminate
threats.
From the matters communicated with those
charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit
of the consolidated financial statements and the
parent financial statements of the current period
and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditor’s report
unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter.
Independent Auditor’s Reports
Report on compliance with the
ESEF Regulation
As part of our audit of the consolidated financial
statements and the parent financial statements of
Genmab A/S we performed procedures to express
an opinion on whether the annual report for the
financial year January 1, 2025 – December 31,
2025, genmab-2025-12-31-1-en.zip, is prepared, in
all material respects, in compliance with the
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815
on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF
Regulation), which includes requirements related to
the preparation of the annual report in XHTML
format and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated
financial statements including notes.
Management is responsible for preparing an annual
report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This
responsibility includes:
The preparing of the annual report in XHTML
format;
The selection and application of appropriate
iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF
taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements
in the taxonomy, for financial information
required to be tagged using judgement where
necessary;
Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged
data and the consolidated financial statements
presented in human readable format; and
For such internal control as Management
determines necessary to enable the preparation
of an annual report that is compliant with the
ESEF Regulation.
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance
on whether the annual report is prepared, in all
material respects, in compliance with the ESEF
Regulation based on the evidence we have
obtained, and to issue a report that includes our
opinion. The nature, timing and extent of
procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of
material departures from the requirements set out
in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or
error. The procedures include:
Testing whether the annual report is prepared
in XHTML format;
Obtaining an understanding of the company’s
iXBRL tagging process and of internal control
over the tagging process;
Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL
tagging of the consolidated financial statements
including notes;
Evaluating the appropriateness of the company’s
use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF
taxonomy and the creation of extension
elements where no suitable element in the ESEF
taxonomy has been identified;
Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension
elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy;
and
Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the
audited consolidated and parent financial
statements.
In our opinion, the annual report of Genmab A/S for
the financial year January 1, 2025 – December 31,
2025, with the file name genmab-2025-12-31-1-
en.zip, is prepared, in all material respects, in
compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

Independent Auditor’s Reports
Independent auditor’s limited
assurance report on
Sustainability Statements
To the stakeholders of
Genmab A/S
Limited assurance conclusion
We have conducted a limited assurance
engagement on the Sustainability Statements
of Genmab A/S (the “Group”) included in the
Management’s Review (the “Sustainability
Statements”), for the financial year
January 1 – December 31, 2025.
Based on the procedures we have performed and
the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come
to our attention that causes us to believe that the
Sustainability Statements are not prepared, in all
material respects, in accordance with the Danish
Financial Statements Act section 99a, including:
compliance with the European Sustainability
Reporting Standards (ESRS), including that the
process carried out by the Management to
identify the information reported in the
Sustainability Statements (the “Process”) is in
accordance with the description set out in 1.4
Impact, risk, and opportunity management; and
compliance of the disclosures in section 2.3 EU
Taxonomy within the environmental section of
the Sustainability Statements with Article 8 of EU
Regulation 2020/852 (the “Taxonomy
Regulation”).
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our limited assurance engagement
in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised),
Assurance engagements other than audits or
reviews of historical financial information, and
additional requirements applicable in Denmark.
The procedures in a limited assurance engagement
vary in nature and timing from, and are less in
extent than for, a reasonable assurance
engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance
obtained in a limited assurance engagement is
substantially lower than the assurance that would
have been obtained had a reasonable assurance
engagement been performed.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
conclusion. Our responsibilities under this standard
are further described in the “Auditor’s
responsibilities for the assurance engagement”
section of our report.
Our independence and quality
management
We are independent of the Group in accordance
with the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the
additional ethical requirements applicable in
Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the IESBA Code.
Deloitte Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab
applies International Standard on Quality
Management 1, ISQM1, which requires the firm to
design, implement and operate a system of quality
management including policies or procedures
regarding compliance with ethical requirements,
professional standards and applicable legal and
regulatory requirements.
Other matter
The comparative information included in the
Sustainability Statements of the Group for the
financial year 2023 and previous years was
not subject to an assurance engagement.
Our conclusion is not modified in respect of
this matter.
Inherent limitations in preparing the
Sustainability Statements
In reporting forward-looking information in
accordance with ESRS, Management is required
to prepare the forward-looking information on the
basis of disclosed assumptions about events that
may occur in the future and possible future actions
by the Group. Actual outcomes are likely to be
different since anticipated events frequently do not
occur as expected.
Management’s responsibilities for
the Sustainability Statements
Management is responsible for designing and
implementing a process to identify the information
reported in the Sustainability Statements in
accordance with the ESRS as disclosed in section
1.4 Impact, risk and opportunity management of the
Sustainability Statements. This responsibility
includes:
understanding the context in which the Group’s
activities and business relationships take place
and developing an understanding of its affected
stakeholders;
the identification of the actual and potential
impacts (both negative and positive) related
to sustainability matters, as well as risks and
opportunities that affect, or could reasonably
be expected to affect, the Group’s financial
position, financial performance, cash flows,
access to finance or cost of capital over the
short-, medium-, or long-term;
the assessment of the materiality of the identified
impacts, risks and opportunities related to
sustainability matters by selecting and applying
appropriate thresholds; and
making assumptions that are reasonable in
the circumstances.
Management is further responsible for the
preparation of the Sustainability Statements,
in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements
Act section 99a, including:
compliance with the ESRS;
preparing the disclosures in section 2.3 EU
Taxonomy within the environmental section
of the Sustainability Statements, in compliance
with Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation;
designing, implementing and maintaining such
internal control that Management determines
is necessary to enable the preparation of the
Sustainability Statements that is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error; and
the selection and application of appropriate
sustainability reporting methods and making
assumptions and estimates that are reasonable
in the circumstances.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the
assurance engagement
Our objectives are to plan and perform the
assurance engagement to obtain limited assurance
about whether the Sustainability Statements are
free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error, and to issue a limited assurance
report that includes our conclusion. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence
decisions of users taken on the basis of the
Sustainability Statements as a whole.
Independent Auditor’s Reports
As part of a limited assurance engagement in
accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised), we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the engagement.
Our responsibilities in respect of the Process
include:
Obtaining an understanding of the Process but
not for the purpose of providing a conclusion
on the effectiveness of the Process, including the
outcome of the Process;
Considering whether the information identified
addresses the applicable disclosure
requirements of the ESRS, and
Designing and performing procedures to
evaluate whether the Process is consistent
with the Group’s description of its Process,
as disclosed in section 1.4 Impact, risk, and
opportunity management.
Our other responsibilities in respect of the
Sustainability Statements include:
Identifying disclosures where material
misstatements are likely to arise, whether
due to fraud or error; and
Designing and performing procedures
responsive to disclosures in the Sustainability
Statements where material misstatements
are likely to arise. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud
is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
Summary of the work performed
A limited assurance engagement involves
performing procedures to obtain evidence about the
Sustainability Statements.
The nature, timing and extent of procedures
selected depend on professional judgement,
including the identification of disclosures
where material misstatements are likely to
arise, whether due to fraud or error, in the
Sustainability Statements.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement,
with respect to the Process, we:
Obtained an understanding of the Process by
performing inquiries to understand the sources
of the information used by Management; and
reviewing the Group’s internal documentation
of its Process; and
Evaluated whether the evidence obtained from
our procedures about the Process implemented
by the Group was consistent with the description
of the Process set out in section 1.4 Impact, risk,
and opportunity management.
In conducting our limited assurance engagement,
with respect to the Sustainability Statements, we:
Obtained an understanding of the Group’s
reporting processes relevant to the preparation
of its Sustainability Statements including the
consolidation processes by obtaining an
understanding of the Group’s control
environment, processes and information
systems relevant to the preparation of the
Sustainability Statements but not evaluating
the design of particular control activities,
obtaining evidence about their implementation or
testing their operating effectiveness;
Evaluated whether material information identified
by the Process is included in the Sustainability
Statements;
Evaluated whether the structure and the
presentation of the Sustainability Statements are
in accordance with the ESRS;
Performed inquiries of relevant personnel and
analytical procedures on selected information
in the Sustainability Statements;
Performed substantive assurance procedures
on selected information in the Sustainability
Statements;
Evaluated methods, assumptions and data
for developing material estimates and forward-
looking information and how these methods
were applied; and
Obtained an understanding of the process
to identify taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-
aligned economic activities and the
corresponding disclosures in the
Sustainability Statements.
