Item 2.02     Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Biogen Inc. (Biogen) expects that its GAAP and non-GAAP results for the second quarter of 2026 will include acquired in-process research and development, upfront and milestone expense of approximately $164 million on a pre-tax basis. The estimated charge is expected to impact GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2026 by approximately $0.95 per share.

Additionally, Biogen anticipates its GAAP and non-GAAP results for the third quarter of 2026 to include acquired in-process research and development, upfront and milestone expense ranging from approximately $290 million to $320 million relating to potential milestones and transactions that have not yet closed. The estimated charge is anticipated to impact GAAP and non-GAAP net income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2026 ranging from approximately $1.75 to $1.95 per share.

Acquired in-process research and development, upfront and milestone expense includes costs incurred in connection with collaboration and license agreements such as upfront and milestone payments and, when applicable, premiums on equity securities and asset acquisitions of acquired in-process research and development. Biogen does not forecast such acquired in-process research and development, upfront and milestone expense due to the uncertainty of the future occurrence, magnitude and timing of these transactions in any given period.

Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, have not been finalized and are subject to our financial statement closing procedures. There can be no assurance that our final results will not differ from the preliminary unaudited estimates described herein.

"We significantly advanced our transformation into the New Biogen through strong commercial and pipeline execution and the announcement of our intent to acquire Apellis. We believe the planned acquisition of Apellis will bolster our revenue and earnings growth, adding two differentiated commercial medicines and deepening the foundation for felzartamab, our key Phase 3 asset in kidney disease. This acquisition and the acquired rights to felzartamab in China come while we also expanded sales of our growth products, demonstrated continued resilience in our MS portfolio and reported important positive new data that reinforce our confidence in the late‑stage pipeline."
