"Our 2025 performance reflected continued focus on strong execution and financial discipline, driven by our revenue of nearly $1 billion from LEQEMBI, SKYCLARYS, ZURZUVAE, and QALSODY, progression of our pipeline, and resilience of our MS franchise. Our pipeline momentum continues with a strong start in 2026, with the FDA recently granting Priority Review for LEQEMBI IQLIK initiation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for litifilimab in CLE. These milestones highlight both the innovative and differentiated value of our medicines and the strength of our late-stage pipeline. Going into 2026, we are looking forward to data

from two Phase 3 studies in lupus for litifilimab, with 10 additional potentially registrational studies across our pipeline expected to read out sequentially over the next four years. This multi-year registrational data flow has the potential to drive meaningful innovation for patients and long-term value for shareholders."

•The decrease in fourth quarter 2025 GAAP and Non-GAAP cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was driven primarily by favorable product mix including lower contract manufacturing revenue.

•The increase in full year 2025 GAAP cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was driven primarily by a pre-tax charge related to a judgment on Genentech's claim for past royalties and interest on sales of TYSABRI. The decrease in full year 2025 Non-GAAP cost of sales as a percentage of total revenue was driven primarily by favorable product mix.

•The decrease in fourth quarter and full year 2025 GAAP and Non-GAAP R&D expense was driven primarily by the favorable impact from the Company's Fit for Growth initiative and R&D funding received, partially offset by increased investment in late-stage programs including felzartamab and litifilimab.

•The increase in fourth quarter and full year 2025 GAAP and Non-GAAP SG&A expense was driven primarily by sales and marketing spend to support product launches, partially offset by savings from the Company's Fit for Growth initiative.

Full Year 2026 Financial Guidance

For the full year 2026, Biogen expects a Non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance range as follows:
Full Year 2026 Guidance
Non-GAAP diluted EPS
$15.25 to $16.25

Total revenue is expected to decline by a mid-single digit percentage for 2026 as compared to 2025 as further declines in multiple sclerosis product revenue, excluding VUMERITY, are expected to be partially offset by increases in revenue from growth products.

For full year 2026 as compared to full year 2025, Biogen expects the gross margin percentage, and combined Non-GAAP R&D expense and Non-GAAP SG&A expense to be roughly consistent year-over-year. Biogen expects full year 2026 Non-GAAP effective tax rate to be between approximately 17% and 18%.

This guidance also assumes that foreign exchange rates as of January 30, 2026, will remain in effect for the remainder of the year, net of hedging activities.

Unless expressly stated above, this financial guidance does not include any acquired IPR&D, impact from potential acquisitions or business development transactions or pending and future litigation or any impact of potential healthcare reform, as all are hard to predict. Other important financial considerations will be provided on the conference call and webcast.

Biogen may incur charges, realize gains or losses, or experience other events or circumstances in 2026 that could cause any of these assumptions and expectations to change and/or actual results to vary from this financial guidance.

Biogen does not provide guidance for GAAP reported financial measures (other than revenue) or a reconciliation of forward-looking Non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP reported financial measures because the Company is unable without unreasonable effort to predict with reasonable certainty the financial impact of items such as the transaction, integration, and certain other costs related to acquisitions or large business development transactions; unusual gains and losses; potential future asset impairments; gains and losses from equity security investments; and the ultimate outcome of pending or future litigation. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the guidance period. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Conference Call and Webcast

The Company's earnings conference call for the fourth quarter will be broadcast via the internet at 8:30 a.m. ET on February 6, 2026 and will be accessible through the Investors section of Biogen's website, www.biogen.com. Supplemental information in the form of a slide presentation is also accessible at the same location on the internet and will be subsequently available on the website for at least 90 days.
