Financial performance for FY
2024 (Growth numbers at constant exchange
rates)
‒ Total
Revenue up 21% to $54,073m, driven by a 19% increase in Product
Sales, continued growth of partnered medicines (Alliance Revenue)
and the achievement of sales-based milestones (Collaboration
Revenue)
‒ Total
Revenue growth from Oncology was 24%, CVRM 20%, R&I 25%,
V&I 8% and Rare Disease 16%
‒ Core
EPS increased 19% to $8.21
‒ Second
interim dividend declared of $2.10 per share, making a total annual
dividend declared for FY 2024 of $3.10 per share, an increase of
7%. Dividend to be further increased in FY 2025
‒ Guidance for FY
2025: Total Revenue is expected to increase by
a high single-digit
percentage and Core EPS is
expected to increase by a low double-digit
percentage, both at CER
Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca,
said:
"Our company delivered a very strong performance in 2024 with Total
Revenue and Core EPS up 21% and 19% respectively. We also delivered
nine positive high value Phase III studies in the year, which
coupled with increasing demand for our medicines in all key
regions, will help sustain our growth momentum into
2025.
This year marks the beginning of an unprecedented, catalyst-rich
period for our company, an important step on our Ambition 2030
journey to deliver $80 billion Total Revenue by the end of the
decade. In 2025 alone, we anticipate the first Phase III data for
seven new medicines, along with several important new indication
opportunities for our existing medicines.
We are also investing in and making significant progress with
transformative technologies that have the potential to drive our
growth well beyond 2030, many of which have now entered pivotal
trials."
Key milestones achieved since the prior results
announcement
‒ Positive read-outs
for Truqap in combination with abiraterone and androgen
deprivation therapy in PTEN-deficient de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
(CAPItello-281) and Tagrisso with or without chemotherapy in resectable
early-stage EGFRm NSCLC (NeoADAURA)
‒ US approvals
for Imfinzi in limited-stage small cell lung cancer
(ADRIATIC), Calquence in combination with bendamustine and
rituximab in mantle cell lymphoma (ECHO), Datroway (datopotamab deruxtecan) in HR+ HER2-
metastatic breast cancer (TROPION-Breast01)
and Enhertu in chemotherapy-na●ve HER2-low and
-ultralow metastatic breast cancer (DESTINY-Breast06). EU approvals
for Tagrisso in unresectable EGFRm NSCLC (LAURA) and Kavigale for prevention of COVID-19 (SUPERNOVA).
Japan approvals for Imfinzi in endometrial cancer
(DUO-E), Lynparza plus Imfinzi in pMMR endometrial cancer
(DUO-E), Calquence tablet formulation in chronic / small
lymphocytic leukaemia, Datroway in HR+ HER2- metastatic breast
cancer, Fasenra in EGPA (MANDARA)
and Kavigale for prevention of COVID-19. China approvals
for Lynparza in gBRCAm HER2- early breast cancer
(OlympiA), Orpathys in locally advanced or metastatic MET Exon
14 NSCLC (NCT04923945)
Guidance
The Company issues its Total Revenue and Core EPS guidance for FY
2025 at CER, based on the average foreign exchange rates through
2024.
Total Revenue is
expected to increase by a high single-digit
percentage
Core EPS is expected to
increase by a low double-digit
percentage
‒ The
Core Tax rate is expected to be between 18-22%
The Company is unable to provide guidance on a Reported basis
because it cannot reliably forecast material elements of the
Reported results, including any fair value adjustments arising on
acquisition-related liabilities, intangible asset impairment
charges and legal settlement provisions. Please refer to the
cautionary statements section regarding forward-looking statements
at the end of this announcement.
Currency impact
If foreign exchange rates for February 2025 to December 2025 were
to remain at the average rates seen in January 2025, it is
anticipated that Total Revenue in FY 2025 would incur a low
single-digit percentage adverse impact compared to the performance
at CER, and Core EPS would incur a mid-single-digit percentage
adverse impact. The Company's foreign exchange rate sensitivity
analysis is provided in Table 17.
Capital allocation
In FY 2025, the Company intends to increase the annual dividend
declared to $3.20 per share. The Company also expects to increase
capital expenditure[3] by
approximately 50%, driven by manufacturing expansion projects and
investment in IT systems, to support portfolio growth and build
capacity for transformative technologies.
China
In relation to the illegal drug importation allegations, in January
2025, AstraZeneca received a Notice of Transfer to the Prosecutor
and an Appraisal Opinion from the Shenzhen City Customs Office
regarding suspected unpaid importation taxes amounting to $0.9
million. To the best of AstraZeneca's knowledge, the importation
taxes referred to in the Appraisal Opinion relate
to Imfinzi and Imjudo. A fine of between one and five times the amount
of unpaid importation taxes may also be levied if AstraZeneca is
found liable. AstraZeneca continues to fully cooperate with the
Chinese authorities.
In December 2024 AstraZeneca announced the appointment of Iskra
Reic as Executive Vice President, International, which encompasses
China, Asian and Eurasian markets, Middle East & Africa, Latin
America, Australia & New Zealand. Iskra succeeds Leon Wang who
is on extended leave from the Company while under investigation in
China.

Reporting calendar
The Company intends to publish its Q1 2025 results on 29 April
2025.
Operating and financial review
All narrative on growth and results in this section is based on
actual exchange rates, and financial figures are in US$ millions
($m), unless stated otherwise. The performance shown in this
announcement covers the twelve-month period to 31 December 2024
('the year' or 'FY 2024') compared to the twelve-month period to 31
December 2023 (FY 2023), or the three-month period to 31 December
2024 ('the quarter' or 'Q4 2024') compared to the three-month
period to 31 December 2023 ('Q4 2023'), unless stated
otherwise.
Core financial measures, EBITDA, Net debt, Product Sales Gross
Margin, Operating Margin and CER are non-GAAP financial measures
because they cannot be derived directly from the Group's Condensed
consolidated financial statements. Management believes that these
non-GAAP financial measures, when provided in combination with
Reported results, provide investors and analysts with helpful
supplementary information to understand better the financial
performance and position of the Group on a comparable basis from
period to period. These non-GAAP financial measures are not a
substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in
accordance with GAAP.
Core financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain significant
items:
‒ Charges
and provisions related to our global restructuring programmes,
which includes charges that relate to the impact of restructuring
programmes on our capitalised manufacturing assets and IT
assets
‒ Amortisation
and impairment of intangible assets, including impairment reversals
but excluding any charges relating to IT assets
‒ Other
specified items, principally comprising acquisition-related costs
and credits, which include the imputed finance charges and fair
value movements relating to contingent consideration on business
combinations, imputed finance charges and remeasurement adjustments
on certain Other payables arising from intangible asset
acquisitions, remeasurement adjustments relating to certain Other
payables and debt items assumed from the Alexion acquisition and
legal settlements
‒ The
tax effects of the adjustments above are excluded from the Core Tax
charge
Details on the nature of Core financial measures are provided on
page 61 of the Annual Report and Form
20-F Information 2023.
Reference should be made to the Reconciliation of Reported to Core
financial measures table included in the financial performance
section in this announcement.
Product Sales Gross Margin is calculated by dividing the difference
between Product Sales and Cost of Sales by the Product
Sales. The calculation of
Reported and Core Product Sales Gross Margin excludes the impact of
Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue and any associated
costs, thereby reflecting the underlying performance of Product
Sales.
EBITDA is defined as Reported Profit before tax after adding back
Net finance expense, results from Joint ventures and associates and
charges for Depreciation, amortisation and impairment. Reference
should be made to the Reconciliation of Reported Profit before tax
to EBITDA included in the financial performance section in this
announcement.
Operating margin is defined as Operating profit as a percentage of
Total Revenue.
Net debt is defined as Interest-bearing loans and borrowings and
Lease liabilities, net of Cash and cash equivalents, Other
investments, and Net derivative financial instruments. Reference
should be made to Note 3 'Net debt' included in the Notes to the
Condensed consolidated financial statements in this
announcement.
The Company strongly encourages investors and analysts not to rely
on any single financial measure, but to review AstraZeneca's
financial statements, including the Notes thereto, and other
available Company reports, carefully and in their
entirety.
Due to rounding, the sum of a number of dollar values and
percentages in this announcement may not agree to
totals.

Profit and Loss drivers
Gross profit
‒ The calculation of Reported and Core
Product Sales Gross Margin excludes the impact of Alliance Revenue
and Collaboration Revenue
‒ The change in Product Sales Gross
Margin (Reported and Core) in FY 2024 was impacted by:
‒ Positive effects from
product mix. The increased contribution from Rare Disease and
Oncology medicines had a positive impact on the Product Sales Gross
Margin
‒ Dilutive effects from
product mix. The rising contribution of Product Sales with profit
sharing arrangements (Lynparza,
Enhertu, Tezspire,
Koselugo) has a negative
impact on Product Sales Gross Margin because AstraZeneca records
Product Sales in certain markets and pays away a share of the gross
profits to its collaboration partners. The growth
in Beyfortus also has a dilutive impact on Product Sales
Gross Margin, as AstraZeneca records its sales of manufactured
product to its distribution partner Sanofi as Product Sales; those
have a lower Product Sales Gross Margin than the Company
average
‒ Dilutive effects from
geographic mix. In Emerging Markets, the Product Sales Gross Margin
tends to be below the Company
average
‒ The reported Product
Sales Gross Margin included inventory and related contract
provisions of $529m related to Andexxa, which was part of the PAAGR restructuring
program (see Note 2 in the Notes to the Condensed consolidated
financial statements section)
‒ Variations in Product Sales Gross
Margin performance between periods can continue to be expected due
to product seasonality, foreign exchange fluctuations, and other
effects
R&D expense
‒ The change in R&D expense
(Reported and Core) in the period was impacted by:
‒ Positive
data read-outs for high value pipeline opportunities that have
ungated late-stage trials
‒ Investment
in platforms, new technology and capabilities to enhance R&D
capabilities
‒ Addition
of R&D projects following completion of previously announced
business development activity including Icosavax, Gracell, Fusion
and Amolyt
‒ The change in Reported R&D
expense was also impacted by intangible asset impairments in the
year, including $753m recorded against the vemircopan (ALXN2050)
intangible asset
SG&A expense
‒ The
change in SG&A expense (Reported and Core) in the period was
driven primarily by market development activities for launches and
to support continued growth in existing brands
‒ The Reported
SG&A expense included impairment charges of $504m recorded
against the Andexxa intangible asset
Other operating income and expense
‒ In the prior year
period, Other operating income and expense included a $241m gain on
disposal of the US rights to Pulmicort
Flexhaler and a $712m gain
relating to updated contractual arrangements
for Beyfortus
Net finance expense
‒ Core
Net finance expense increased 19% (15% increase at CER) due to the
increased level of debt and new debt issued at higher interest
rates
Taxation
‒ The
effective Reported and Core Tax rate for the twelve months to 31
December 2024 was 19% (FY 2023: 14% and 17%
respectively)
‒ The
cash tax paid for the twelve months to 31 December 2024 was $2,750m
(2023: $2,366m), representing 32% of Reported Profit before tax
(2023: 34%)
Dividends
‒ A
second interim dividend of $2.10 per share (168.0 pence, 22.96 SEK)
has been declared, resulting in a full-year dividend per share of
$3.10 (245.6 pence, 33.75 SEK)
‒ Dividend
payments are normally paid as follows:
‒ First
interim dividend - announced with half-year and second-quarter
results and paid in September
‒ Second
interim dividend - announced with full-year and fourth-quarter
results and paid in March
‒ Provisional
dates for the 2024 second interim dividend: ex-dividend 20 February
2025, record date 21 February 2025, payable on 24 March
2025.

(3,996)

(6,567)

|
The change in Net cash inflow before financing activities of
$2,400m is primarily driven by Acquisitions of subsidiaries, net of
cash acquired of $2,771m, and relates to the acquisition of Gracell
Biotechnologies, Inc. for $774m and acquisition of Fusion
Pharmaceuticals Inc., for $1,997m as compared to the acquisition of
Neogene Therapeutics, Inc. for $189m in FY 2023.
The decrease in Net cash outflow from financing activities of
$2,571m is primarily driven by increased issuance of long-term
loans of $6,492m in the period compared to $3,816m issued in the
comparative period.
Capital expenditure
Capital expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related
intangible assets amounted to $2,218m in FY 2024 (FY 2023:
$1,516m). The increase of capital expenditure in 2024 was driven by
investment in several major manufacturing projects and continued
investment in technology upgrades.

Summarised financial information for guarantee of securities of
subsidiaries
AstraZeneca Finance LLC ("AstraZeneca Finance") is the issuer of
1.2% Notes due 2026, 4.8% Notes due 2027, 4.875% Notes due 2028,
1.75% Notes due 2028, 4.85% Notes due 2029, 4.9% Notes due 2030,
4.9% Notes due 2031, 2.25% Notes due 2031, 4.875% Notes due 2033
and 5% Notes due 2034 (the "AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes"). Each
series of AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes has been fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by AstraZeneca PLC. AstraZeneca Finance
is 100% owned by AstraZeneca PLC and each of the guarantees issued
by AstraZeneca PLC is full and unconditional and joint and
several.
The AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes are senior unsecured obligations
of AstraZeneca Finance and rank equally with all of AstraZeneca
Finance's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness. The guarantee by AstraZeneca PLC of the AstraZeneca
Finance USD Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of AstraZeneca
PLC and ranks equally with all of AstraZeneca PLC's existing and
future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Each
guarantee by AstraZeneca PLC is effectively subordinated to any
secured indebtedness of AstraZeneca PLC to the extent of the value
of the assets securing such indebtedness. The AstraZeneca Finance
USD Notes are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other
liabilities of the subsidiaries of AstraZeneca PLC, none of which
guarantee the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes.
AstraZeneca PLC manages substantially all of its operations through
divisions, branches and/or investments in subsidiaries and
affiliates. Accordingly, the ability of AstraZeneca PLC to service
its debt and guarantee obligations is also dependent upon the
earnings of its subsidiaries, affiliates, branches and divisions,
whether by dividends, distributions, loans or
otherwise.
Please refer to the Consolidated financial statements of
AstraZeneca PLC in our Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the
SEC and information contained herein for further financial
information regarding AstraZeneca PLC and its consolidated
subsidiaries. For further details, terms and conditions of the
AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes please refer to AstraZeneca PLC's
reports on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on 22 February 2024, 3
March 2023 and 28 May 2021.
Pursuant to Rule 13-01 and Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), we
present below the summary financial information for AstraZeneca
PLC, as Guarantor, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries, and
AstraZeneca Finance, as the issuer, excluding its consolidated
subsidiaries. The following summary financial information of
AstraZeneca PLC and AstraZeneca Finance is presented on a combined
basis and transactions between the combining entities have been
eliminated. Financial information for non-guarantor entities has
been excluded. Intercompany balances and transactions between the
obligor group and the non-obligor subsidiaries are presented on
separate lines.
Capital allocation
The Company's capital allocation priorities include: investing in
the business and pipeline; maintaining a strong, investment-grade
credit rating; potential value-enhancing business development
opportunities; and supporting the progressive dividend policy. In
approving the declaration of dividends, the Board considers both
the liquidity of the company and the level of reserves legally
available for distribution. In FY 2025, the Company intends to
increase the annual dividend per share declared to $3.20 per
share.
Dividends are paid to shareholders from AstraZeneca PLC, a Group
holding company with no direct operations. The ability of
AstraZeneca PLC to make shareholder distributions is dependent on
the creation of profits for distribution and the receipt of funds
from subsidiary companies. The consolidated Group reserves set out
in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position do
not reflect the profit available for distribution to the
shareholders of AstraZeneca PLC.
In FY 2024, capital expenditure on tangible assets and
Software-related intangible assets amounted to $2,218m. In FY 2025
the Company expects to increase expenditure on tangible assets and
Software-related intangible assets by approximately 50%, driven by
manufacturing expansion projects and investments in systems and
technology.

Foreign exchange
The Company's transactional currency exposures on working capital
balances, which typically extend for up to three months, are hedged
where practicable using forward foreign exchange contracts against
the individual companies' reporting currency. Foreign exchange
gains and losses on forward contracts transacted for transactional
hedging are taken to profit or to Other comprehensive income if the
contract is in a designated cashflow hedge. In addition, the
Company's external dividend payments, paid principally in pound
sterling and Swedish krona, are fully hedged from announcement to
payment date.

Sustainability
AstraZeneca was recognised by TIME as one of the World's Best
Companies in Sustainable Growth 2025, for its strong financial and
environmental performance.
Access to healthcare
‒
AstraZeneca ranked fifth overall in the Access to Medicine Index
(ATMI) 2024, an independent ranking of 20 of the world's largest
pharmaceutical companies evaluating efforts to improve access to
medicines in low and middle-income countries. AstraZeneca was
ranked fourth in both Governance of Access and Product Delivery,
with ATMI recognising the Company's best practice in reporting
outcomes for its access strategies across different countries'
income classifications. The Company also performed well in Research
and Development, having the largest pipeline for non-communicable
diseases of all companies in scope
‒
By end of December 2024, the Company's flagship Healthy Heart
Africa programme had conducted more than 67.4 million blood
pressure screenings, identifying more than 12.9 million people with
elevated blood pressure, and diagnosing more than 5.3 million with
high blood pressure, since launch in 2014
‒
The Company convened an event on health equity for investors and
analysts in November that detailed AstraZeneca's health equity
strategy, which is embedded from the Company's science through to
healthcare delivery and community engagement
‒
AstraZeneca also convened the second meeting of its Global Health
Equity Advisory Board, a group of 15 external stakeholders with
representation from 11 countries, to advise on the Company's
approach to help improve equitable health outcomes
globally
‒
In November, the Company held its first lung health expert summit
in Philadelphia, US, bringing together medical experts and
non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to build alignment and
consensus on more integrated and equitable service models for
patients with lung diseases
‒
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Partnership for Health
System Sustainability and Resilience (PHSSR) launched three new
country reports at engagements with ministerial representation in
Egypt, Malaysia and India. The first PHSSR EU Expert Advisory Group
workshop on sustainable healthcare financing also took place,
focusing on how to prioritise funding for healthcare to improve
patient access and outcomes, and enhance innovation
‒
The Young Health Programme (YHP) won Community Partnership of the
Year at the SCRIP Awards, in partnership with UNICEF. Now active in
41 countries, in 2024 the YHP directly reached 4.5 million young
people, trained more than 140,000 people and engaged more than
3,500 employee volunteers
Environmental protection
‒
At the end of 2024, the Company's cumulative reduction in Scope 1
and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions was 77.5% from the 2015
baseline
‒ Insights
from CEO Pascal Soriot on climate risks and opportunities were
featured in a report from the World Economic Forum Alliance of CEO
Climate Leaders on The Cost of Inaction: A CEO Guide to Navigating
Climate Risk
‒ EVP
Global Operations & IT and Chief Sustainability Officer Pam
Cheng was recognised on the TIME100 Climate 2024 list as a global
climate leader
‒ Reducing the carbon
impact of pressurised metered dose inhalers is a key
product-related element of AstraZeneca's Ambition Zero Carbon
strategy. Regulatory filings for Breztri/Trixeo Aerosphere with an innovative,
next-generation propellant, with 99.9% lower Global Warming
Potential than propellants used in currently available inhaled
medicines, were submitted to the European Medicines Agency, in
China, the UK and other countries
‒ Continued transition to electronic product information
(ePI), including in Brazil, where AstraZeneca helped launch the
consultation for a paperless pilot in partnership with the national
regulator. In the EU, the Company supported a workshop at the EU
Patient Safety Conference 2024, building on the upcoming
introduction of ePI proposed in the revised EU General
Pharmaceutical Legislation
‒ In
December, AstraZeneca became the first organisation to achieve the
new My Green Lab 2.0 Certification. The Company has over 129 lab
spaces certified in 15 countries, and 91 achieved the highest level
of certification - Green. My Green Lab is a key measure of progress
recognised by the United Nations Race to Zero campaign
Ethics and transparency
‒ In
October 2024, AstraZeneca launched its annual mandatory Code of
Ethics awareness training, reminding employees of the Company's
commitment to high ethical standards across the enterprise. The
training uses real-world scenarios and provides a new Ethical
Decision Making Model tool to help employees think through ethical
dilemmas

pathologic complete response and an early trend to event free
survival improvement vs neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone. The safety
and tolerability profiles for Tagrisso monotherapy and in combination with
chemotherapy, were consistent with the established profiles of each
product. The data will be presented at a forthcoming medical
meeting. (New disclosure, Q4 2024)

Notes to the Condensed consolidated financial
statements
Note 1: Basis of preparation and accounting policies
These Condensed consolidated financial statements for the twelve
months ended 31 December 2024 have been prepared in accordance with
UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies
reporting under those standards. The Condensed consolidated
financial statements also comply fully with IFRS Accounting
Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) and International Accounting Standards as adopted by the
European Union.
These Condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the
financial results of AstraZeneca PLC for the years to 31 December
2024 and 2023 together with the Statement of financial position as
at 31 December 2024 and 2023. The results for the year to 31
December 2024 have been extracted from the 31 December 2024 audited
consolidated financial statements which have been approved by the
Board of Directors. These have not yet been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies but are expected to be published on 18
February 2025 within the Annual Report and Form 20-F Information
2024.
The financial information set out above does not constitute the
Group's statutory accounts for the years to 31 December 2024 or
2023 but is derived from these accounts. The auditors have reported
on those accounts: their reports (i) were unqualified, (ii) did not
include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew
attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and
(iii) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of
the Companies Act 2006 in respect of the accounts for the year to
31 December 2024 or for 31 December 2023. Statutory accounts for
the year to 31 December 2024 were approved by the Board of
Directors for release on 6 February 2025.
Amendments to accounting standards issued by the IASB and adopted
in the year ended 31 December 2024 did not have a material impact
on the result or financial position of the Group and the Condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared applying the
accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the
Group's published consolidated financial statements for the year
ended 31 December 2023.
The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December
2023 are not the Group's statutory accounts for that financial
year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Group's auditors
and have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies; their report
was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any
matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis
without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a
statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act
2006.
Going concern
The Group has considerable financial resources available. As at 31
December 2024, the Group has $10.4bn in financial resources (cash
and cash equivalent balances of $5.5bn and undrawn committed bank
facilities of $4.9bn that were available until April 2029), with
$2.7bn of borrowings due within one year. These facilities contain
no financial covenants, and in January 2025 their maturity was
extended to April 2030.
The Group has assessed the prospects of the Group over a period
longer than the required 12 months from the date of Board approval
of these consolidated financial statements, with no deterioration
noted requiring a further extension of this review. The Group's
revenues are largely derived from sales of medicines covered by
patents, which provide a relatively high level of resilience and
predictability to cash inflows, although government price
interventions in response to budgetary constraints are expected to
continue to adversely affect revenues in some of our significant
markets. The Group, however, anticipates new revenue streams from
both recently launched medicines and those in development, and the
Group has a wide diversity of customers and suppliers across
different geographic areas.
Consequently, the Directors believe that, overall, the Group is
well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly,
they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
Condensed consolidated financial statements.
Legal proceedings
The information contained in Note 6 updates the disclosures
concerning legal proceedings and contingent liabilities in the
Group's Annual Report and Form
20-F Information 2023.
Employee Benefit Trusts
Following an amendment to the Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) Deed on
10 June 2024, AstraZeneca obtained control and commenced
consolidation of the EBT from June 2024. From that date, cash paid
on purchases of AstraZeneca Ordinary shares or American Depositary
Receipts is presented within Financing activities in the Condensed
consolidated statement of cash flows.
Note 2: Intangible assets
In accordance with IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets', reviews for
triggers of impairment or impairment reversals at an individual
asset or cash generating unit level were conducted, and impairment
tests carried out where triggers were identified. In 2024, the
Group recorded impairment charges of $504m in respect of launched
products. Following a strategic review of our portfolio priorities,
the business decision was made to cease promotional activity
for Andexxa resulting in impairment charges of $504m
recorded against the Andexxa intangible asset under a value-in-use model
applying a discount rate of 7.5% (revised carrying amount:
$nil).
Impairment charges recorded against products in development
totalled $1,073m. This included vemircopan (ALXN2050) (acquired as
part of the Alexion business combination in 2021 - $753m) which was
terminated, the decision was based on safety and efficacy data from
Phase II trials across multiple indications. In December 2024, the
intangible asset relating to the product in development, FPI-2059,
was fully impaired by $165m due to portfolio prioritisation
decisions. Development of FPI-2265 and AZD2068 are still ongoing
and continue to be a priority. The remaining impairments of $155m
relate to impairments of various products in development, due to
either management's decision to discontinue development as part of
Group-wide portfolio prioritisation decisions, or due to the
outcome of research activities.
Icosavax
The acquisition of Icosavax, Inc. completed on 19 February 2024.
The transaction is recorded as an asset acquisition based on the
concentration test permitted under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations',
with consideration of $841m principally relating to $639m of
intangible assets, $141m of cash and cash equivalents and $51m of
marketable securities. Contingent consideration of up to $300m
could be paid on achievement of regulatory and sales milestones;
these potential liabilities would be recorded when the relevant
recognition event for a regulatory or sales milestone is
achieved.
Amolyt
The acquisition of Amolyt Pharma completed on 15 July 2024. The
transaction is recorded as an asset acquisition based on the
concentration test permitted under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations',
with consideration of $857m principally relating to $800m of
intangible assets and $98m of cash and cash equivalents. Contingent
consideration of up to $250m could be paid on achievement of a
regulatory milestone; this potential liability would be recorded
when the relevant recognition event for a regulatory milestone is
achieved.
Note 3: Net debt
The table below provides an analysis of Net debt and a
reconciliation of Net cash flow to the movement in Net debt. The
Group monitors Net debt as part of its capital management policy as
described in Note 28 of the Annual Report and Form
20-F Information 2023. Net debt
is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Net debt increased by $2,060m in the twelve months to 31 December
2024 to $24,570m. Details of the committed undrawn bank facilities
are disclosed within the going concern section of Note 1. Non-cash
movements in the period include fair value adjustments under IFRS 9
'Financial Instruments'.
In February 2024, AstraZeneca issued the following:
‒ $1,250m
of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 4.8% maturing in February
2027
‒ $1,250m
of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 4.85% maturing in February
2029
‒ $1,000m
of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 4.9% maturing in February
2031
‒ $1,500m
of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 5% maturing in February
2034
In August 2024, AstraZeneca issued the following:
‒ Û650m
of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 3.121% maturing in August
2030
‒ Û750m
of fixed-rate notes with a coupon of 3.278% maturing in August
2033
Each of the above notes were issued by AstraZeneca Finance LLC and
are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AstraZeneca
PLC.
AstraZeneca repaid two bonds with a total carrying value of $2,569m
and floating rate bank loans of $2,000m during the twelve months
which is included in the cash outflow from Repayment of loans and
borrowings of $4,652m.
The Group has agreements with some bank counterparties whereby the
parties agree to post cash collateral on financial derivatives, for
the benefit of the other, equivalent to the market valuation of the
derivative positions above a predetermined threshold. The carrying
value of such cash collateral held by the Group at 31 December 2024
was $181m (31 December 2023: $215m) and the carrying value of such
cash collateral posted by the Group at 31 December 2024 was $129m
(31 December 2023: $102m).
The equivalent GAAP measure to Net debt is 'liabilities arising
from financing activities', which excludes the amounts for cash and
overdrafts, other investments and non-financing derivatives shown
above and includes the Acerta Pharma share purchase liability of
$nil (31 December 2023: $833m).
During the quarter ended 31 December 2024, there have been no
changes to the Company's solicited long term credit ratings.
Moody's credit rating were long term: A2; short term: P-1. Standard
and Poor's credit ratings were long term: A+; short term:
A-1.
Note 4: Financial Instruments
As detailed in the Group's most recent annual financial statements,
the principal financial instruments consist of derivative financial
instruments, other investments, trade and other receivables, cash
and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, lease liabilities
and interest-bearing loans and borrowings.
The Group has certain equity investments that are categorised as
Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy that are held at $353m (31
December 2023: $313m) and for which a fair value loss of $9m has
been recognised in the twelve months ended 31 December 2024 (FY
2023: gains of $17m). In the absence of specific market data, these
unlisted investments are held at fair value based on the cost of
investment and adjusted as necessary for impairments and
revaluations on new funding rounds, which are seen to approximate
the fair value. All other fair value gains and/or losses that are
presented in Net gains on equity investments measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income, in the Condensed consolidated
statement of comprehensive income for the twelve months ended 31
December 2024, are Level 1 fair value measurements, valued based on
quoted prices in active markets.
Financial instruments measured at fair value include $1,669m of
other investments, $4,177m held in money-market funds and $71m of
derivatives as at 31 December 2024. With the exception of
derivatives being Level 2 fair valued, and certain equity
instruments of $353m categorised as Level 3, the aforementioned
balances are Level 1 fair valued. Financial instruments measured at
amortised cost include $129m of cash collateral pledged to
counterparties. The total fair value of Interest-bearing loans and
borrowings as at 31 December 2024, which have a carrying value of
$30,295m in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial
position, was $29,179m.

Contingent consideration arising from business combinations is fair
valued using decision-tree analysis, with key inputs including the
probability of success, consideration of potential delays and the
expected levels of future revenues.
The contingent consideration balance relating to BMS's share of the
global diabetes alliance of $1,309m (31 December 2023:
$1,945m) would increase/decrease by $131m with an increase/decrease
in sales of 10%, as compared with the current
estimates.
Note 5: Business combinations
Gracell
On 22 February 2024, AstraZeneca completed the acquisition of
Gracell Biotechnologies Inc. (Gracell), a global clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company developing innovative cell therapies for
the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases.
The purchase price allocation review has been completed with no
changes to the amounts reported in the H1 and Q2 2024 results
announcement. The transaction is recorded as a business combination
using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS
3 'Business Combinations'.
The total consideration fair value of $1,037m includes cash
consideration of $983m and future regulatory milestone-based
consideration of $54m. Intangible assets recognised relate to
products in development, principally AZD0120. Goodwill of $136m has
been recognised. Gracell's results have been consolidated into the
Group's results from 22 February 2024.
Fusion
On 4 June 2024, AstraZeneca completed the acquisition of Fusion
Pharmaceuticals Inc., (Fusion) a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical
company developing next-generation radioconjugates.
The purchase price allocation review has been completed with no
changes to the amounts reported in the H1 and Q2 2024 results
announcement. The transaction is recorded as a business combination
using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS
3 'Business Combinations'.
The total consideration fair value of $2,195m includes cash
consideration of $2,051m and future regulatory milestone-based
consideration of $144m. Intangible assets relating to products in
development comprise the FPI-2265 ($848m), FPI-2059 ($165m) and
AZD2068 ($313m) programmes. Goodwill of $947m has been recognised.
Fusion's results have been consolidated into the Group's results
from 4 June 2024.
In December 2024, the intangible asset relating to the product in
development, FPI-2059, was fully impaired by $165m due to portfolio
prioritisation decisions. Development of FPI-2265 and AZD2068 are
still ongoing and continue to be a priority.
Note 6: Legal proceedings and contingent liabilities
AstraZeneca is involved in various legal proceedings considered
typical to its business, including litigation and investigations,
including Government investigations, relating to product liability,
commercial disputes, infringement of intellectual property (IP)
rights, the validity of certain patents, anti-trust law and sales
and marketing practices. The matters discussed below constitute the
more significant developments since publication of the disclosures
concerning legal proceedings in the Company's Annual Report and
Form 20-F Information 2023, the H1 2024 and the Q3 2024 results
announcements (the Disclosures). Information about the nature and
facts of the cases is disclosed in accordance with IAS
37.
As discussed in the Disclosures, the majority of claims involve
highly complex issues. Often these issues are subject to
substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of a
loss, if any, being sustained and/or an estimate of the amount of
any loss is difficult to ascertain.
In cases that have been settled or adjudicated, or where
quantifiable fines and penalties have been assessed and which are
not subject to appeal, or where a loss is probable and we are able
to make a reasonable estimate of the loss, AstraZeneca records the
loss absorbed or makes a provision for its best estimate of the
expected loss. The position could change over time and the
estimates that the Company made, and upon which the Company have
relied in calculating these provisions are inherently imprecise.
There can, therefore, be no assurance that any losses that result
from the outcome of any legal proceedings will not exceed the
amount of the provisions that have been booked in the accounts. The
major factors causing this uncertainty are described more fully in
the Disclosures and herein.

|
|
* In February 2022, in response to
Paragraph IV notices from multiple ANDA filers, AstraZeneca filed

* In March 2024, Alexion filed motions
for provisional measures against Amgen Pharmaceuticals Inc (Amgen)
and Samsung Bioepis Co. Ltd. (Samsung) and their respective
affiliates at the Hamburg Local Division of the Unified Patent
Court (UPC) on the basis that Amgen's and Samsung's biosimilar
eculizumab products infringe an Alexion patent. Alexion appealed
and in December 2024 the UPC appellate division denied Alexion's
appeal requesting provisional measures.

filed oppositions to the patent at the European Patent
Office.
* In November 2024, Amgen filed a

|
Tagrisso patent

Considered to be a contingent asset
|
|
* In Russia, in August 2023,
AstraZeneca filed lawsuits in the Arbitration Court of the Moscow
Region (Court) against the Ministry of Health of the Russian
Federation and Axelpharm LLC (Axelpharm) related to Axelpharm's
improper use of AstraZeneca's information to obtain authorisation
to market a generic version of Tagrisso. In December 2023, the Court
dismissed the lawsuit against the Ministry of Health of the Russian
Federation. The appellate court affirmed the dismissal in March
2024. AstraZeneca filed a further appeal, which was dismissed in
July 2024. The lawsuit against Axelpharm was dismissed in September
2024, and AstraZeneca appealed.
* In November 2023, Axelpharm filed a
compulsory licensing action against AstraZeneca in the Court
related to a patent that covers Tagrisso. The compulsory licensing
action remains pending. AstraZeneca has also challenged before the
Russian Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) the validity of the
Axelpharm patent on which the compulsory licensing action is
predicated. In August 2024, the PTO determined that Axelpharm's
patent is invalid and, in November 2024, Axelpharm filed an
appeal.
* In July 2024, AstraZeneca filed a
patent infringement lawsuit, which remains pending, and an unfair
competition claim with the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service of Russia
(FAS) against AxelPharm and others related to the securing of state
contracts in Russia for its generic version of
Osimertinib.
* In August 2024, the FAS initiated an
unfair competition case against Axelpharm and OncoTarget based on
AstraZeneca's unfair competition claim.
* In November 2024, the FAS determined
that Axelpharm had committed unfair competition and that OncoTarget
had not; the FAS ordered Axelpharm to cease sales of its generic
osimertinib and pay the Russian government the income it received
from its sales of its generic Osimertinib. In December 2024,
Axelpharm appealed.

Other
Additional government inquiries

companies, AstraZeneca is currently involved in multiple inquiries
into drug marketing and pricing practices. In addition to the

There have been no material developments in those
matters.

Cautionary statements regarding forward-looking
statements
In order, among other things, to utilise the 'safe harbour'
provisions of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, AstraZeneca (hereafter 'the Group') provides the following
cautionary statement:
This document contains certain forward-looking statements with
respect to the operations, performance and financial condition of
the Group, including, among other things, statements about expected
revenues, margins, earnings per share or other financial or other
measures. Although the Group believes its expectations are based on
reasonable assumptions, any forward-looking statements, by their
very nature, involve risks and uncertainties and may be influenced
by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be
materially different from those predicted. The forward-looking
statements reflect knowledge and information available at the date
of preparation of this document and the Group undertakes no
obligation to update these forward-looking statements. The Group
identifies the forward-looking statements by using the words
'anticipates', 'believes', 'expects', 'intends' and similar
expressions in such statements. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking statements, certain of which are beyond the Group's
control, include, among other things:
‒ the
risk of failure or delay in delivery of pipeline or launch of new
medicines;
‒ the
risk of failure to meet regulatory or ethical requirements for
medicine development or approval;
‒ the
risk of failures or delays in the quality or execution of the
Group's commercial strategies;
‒ the
risk of pricing, affordability, access and competitive
pressures;
‒ the
risk of failure to maintain supply of compliant, quality
medicines;
‒ the
risk of illegal trade in the Group's medicines;
‒ the
impact of reliance on third-party goods and services;
‒ the
risk of failure in information technology or
cybersecurity;
‒ the
risk of failure of critical processes;

[1] Constant
exchange rates. The differences between Actual Change and CER
Change are due to foreign exchange movements between periods in
2024 vs. 2023. CER financial measures are not accounted for
according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
because they remove the effects of currency movements from Reported
results.
[2] Core
financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain items. The
differences between Reported and Core measures are primarily due to
costs relating to the amortisation of intangibles, impairments,
legal settlements and restructuring charges. A full reconciliation
between Reported EPS and Core EPS is provided in Table 11 and Table
12 in the Financial performance section of this
document.
[3]
In FY 2024, capital expenditure on tangible assets and
Software-related intangibles amounted to $2,218m
[4] In
Table 2, the plus and minus symbols denote the directional impact
of the item being discussed, e.g. a Ô+Õ symbol next to a
comment related to the R&D expense indicates that the item
resulted in an increase in the R&D spend relative to the prior
year.
[5] Income
from disposals of assets and businesses, where the Group does not
retain a significant ongoing economic interest, continue to be
recorded in Other operating income and expense in the GroupÕs
financial statements.
[6] The
presentation of Table 4 has been updated to show Total Revenue by
medicine, by including Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue
within each revenue figure. Previously, this table showed Product
Sales for each medicine and therapy area, and the CompanyÕs
total Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue were shown as
separate lines at the bottom of the table.
[7] ÔStock
compensationÕ encourages distributors to maintain steady
inventory levels ahead of the date of a price reduction. After the
price reduction takes effect, the supplier compensates the
distributor for the reduction in the resale value of their
inventory
[8] The
presentation of this table has been updated by removing the
"Acquisition of Alexion" column due to immateriality of items in
this category
[9] Based
on best prevailing assumptions around currency
profiles.
[10] Based
on average daily spot rates 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024.
[11] Based
on average daily spot rates 1 Jan 2025 to 31 Jan 2025.
[12] Based
on average daily spot rates on Jan 31 2025.
[13] Other
currencies include AUD, BRL, CAD, KRW and RUB.
[14] The
table provides an analysis of year-on-year Product Sales, with
Actual and CER growth rates reflecting year-on-year growth. Due to
rounding, the sum of a number of dollar values and percentages may
not agree to totals.
