Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Revenues
Net product sales of EYLEA HD increased in the fourth quarter and full year 2025, compared to the same periods of 2024, due to higher sales volumes driven by increased demand, partly offset by a lower net selling price.
Net product sales of EYLEA in the fourth quarter and full year 2025, compared to the same periods of 2024, were negatively impacted by (i) lower sales volumes as a result of continued competitive pressures, loss in market share to compounded bevacizumab due to patient affordability constraints, and the continued transition of patients to EYLEA HD, and (ii) a lower net selling price.
In addition, as previously reported, EYLEA HD and EYLEA net product sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 were each favorably impacted by approximately $30 million due to higher wholesaler inventory levels at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the end of the third quarter of 2025.
Sanofi collaboration revenue increased in the fourth quarter and full year 2025, compared to the same periods of 2024, due to an increase in the Company's share of profits from the commercialization of antibodies, which were $1.486 billion and $1.043 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $5.242 billion and $3.924 billion for full year 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in the Company's share of profits from commercialization of antibodies was driven by higher profits primarily associated with an increase in Dupixent sales.
Refer to Table 4 for a summary of collaboration revenue.
Other revenue increased in the fourth quarter and full year 2025, compared to the same periods of 2024, primarily due to royalties earned on sales of Ilaris ® and share of profits from sales of ARCALYST ®, which were $179 million and $112 million in the aggregate for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $506 million and $293 million for full year 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Other Financial Information
GAAP other income (expense), net included the recognition of net losses on marketable and other securities of $22 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to net losses of $213 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. GAAP other income (expense), net included the recognition of net gains on marketable and other securities of $946 million for full year 2025, compared to net gains of $118 million for full year 2024.
In the fourth quarter and full year 2025, the Company's GAAP effective tax rate (ETR) was 19.1% and 13.9%, respectively, compared to 4.2% and 7.7% in the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively. The GAAP ETR increased in the fourth quarter and full year 2025, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to lower tax benefits from less stock option exercises and the shortfall related to stock-based compensation. A shortfall occurs when the actual tax deduction a company recognizes from stock-based compensation is less than the deferred tax asset that was previously recorded for financial reporting purposes, resulting in the write-off of the deferred tax asset (and recognition of income tax expense). The GAAP ETR for the fourth quarter of 2025 was also negatively impacted by a lower benefit from income earned in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate. The GAAP ETR for full year 2025 was positively impacted by the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions recognized upon the settlement of an IRS audit. In the fourth quarter and full year 2025, the non-GAAP ETR was 17.1% and 12.6%, respectively, compared to 9.9% and 9.6% in the fourth quarter and full year 2024, respectively.
A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in Table 3 of this press release.
Capital Allocation
During the fourth quarter and full year 2025, the Company repurchased shares of its common stock and recorded the cost of the shares, or $671 million and $3.5 billion, respectively, as Treasury Stock. As of December 31, 2025, $1.5 billion remained available for share repurchases under the Company's share repurchase programs.
