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."

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.

Sustainability highlights
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.
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.
Conference call
A conference call and webcast for investors and
analysts will begin today, 6 February 2025, at 11:00 UK time.
Details can be accessed via astrazeneca.com.
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.

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.

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

of major pathologic response compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy
alone for patients with resectable, early-stage (II, IIIA and IIIB)
EGFRm NSCLC. There was
also an improvement in 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.
AstraZeneca has full confidence in,

Considered to be a contingent asset
|
|
* In
February 2022, in response to Paragraph IV notices from multiple
ANDA filers, AstraZeneca filed patent infringement lawsuits in the
US District Court for the District of Delaware (District Court). In

MSN) in November 2024.
* In
response to these Paragraph IV notices, AstraZeneca filed patent
infringement lawsuits against Cipla in May 2024 and against MSN in
January 2025 in the District Court. In the complaints, AstraZeneca
alleges that a generic version of Calquence tablets, if approved and
marketed, would infringe patents that are owned or licensed by

|
Soliris patent
proceedings, Europe
Considered to be a contingent
asset
|

* 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.
* In
parallel, Samsung and Amgen have filed oppositions to the patent at
the European Patent Office.
* In
November 2024, Amgen filed a revocation action for the patent at

|
Tagrisso patent
proceedings, Russia
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
As is true for most, if not all,
major prescription pharmaceutical companies, AstraZeneca is
currently involved in multiple inquiries into drug marketing and
pricing practices. In addition to the investigations described
above, various law enforcement offices have, from time to time,
requested information from the Group. 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
