NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. The financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that the management of Gilead Sciences, Inc. (Gilead, we, our or us) believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Gilead, our wholly-owned subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. For consolidated entities where we own or are exposed to less than 100% of the economics, we record net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties.

We assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) at the inception of the arrangement and at each reporting date. This assessment is based on our power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and our obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Segment Information

We have one operating segment, which focuses on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative medicines in areas of unmet medical need. Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), as the chief operating decision-maker, manages and allocates resources to the operations of our company on an entity-wide basis. Managing and allocating resources on an entity-wide basis enables our CEO to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions and research and development (R&D) projects based on unmet medical need and, as necessary, reallocate resources among our internal R&D portfolio and external opportunities to best support the long-term growth of our business. See Note 2. Revenues for additional information.

Significant Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our significant accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various market-specific and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information, such as the economic considerations related to the impact that the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) could have on our significant accounting estimates. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Reclassification

Certain amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Up-front and milestone payments related to collaborative and other arrangements of $133 million previously classified as cash flows from operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are now presented as cash flows from investing activities.

Concentrations of Risk

We are subject to credit risk from our portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities. Under our investment policy, we limit amounts invested in such securities by credit rating, maturity, industry group, investment type and issuer, except for securities issued by the U.S. government. We are not exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk from our investment portfolio. The goals of our investment policy, in order of priority, are as follows: safety and preservation of principal and diversification of risk; liquidity of investments sufficient to meet cash flow requirements; and a competitive after-tax rate of return.

7

We are also subject to credit risk from our accounts receivable related to our product sales. Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for wholesaler chargebacks related to government and other programs, cash discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. Estimates of our allowance for credit losses consider a number of factors including existing contractual payment terms, individual customer circumstances, historical payment patterns of our customers, a review of the local economic environment and its potential impact on expected future customer payment patterns and government funding and reimbursement practices. The majority of our trade accounts receivable arises from product sales in the United States, Europe and Japan. Our allowance for credit losses was $55 million and $47 million as of March 31, 2020 and January 1, 2020, respectively. There were no write-offs charged against the allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13) and has since modified the standard with several ASUs (collectively the “new credit loss standard”). The new credit loss standard requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this standard using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-18 “Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606” (ASU 2018-18). ASU 2018-18 clarifies that certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In addition, the update precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as customer revenue if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. On January 1, 2020, we adopted this standard and applied it retrospectively to January 1, 2018 when we initially adopted Topic 606. The adoption did not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenues from Major Customers

The following table summarizes revenues from each of our customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of our total revenues (as a percentage of total revenues):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2020		2019
AmerisourceBergen Corp.	22	%	21	%
Cardinal Health, Inc.	22	%	20	%
McKesson Corp.	21	%	20	%

Revenues Recognized from Performance Obligations Satisfied in Prior Periods

Revenues recognized from performance obligations satisfied in prior years related to royalties for licenses of our intellectual property were $188 million and $155 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Changes in estimates for variable consideration related to sales made in prior years resulted in a $38 million and $107 million increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Contract Balances

Our contract assets, which consist of unbilled amounts primarily from arrangements where the licensing of intellectual property is the only or predominant performance obligation, totaled $140 million and $144 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Contract liabilities were not material as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We determine the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy, which establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

• Level 1 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 inputs include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. For our marketable securities, we review trading activity and pricing as of the measurement date. When sufficient quoted pricing for identical securities is not available, we use market pricing and other observable market inputs for similar securities obtained from various third-party data providers. These inputs either represent quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or have been derived from observable market data; and

• Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Our Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques and significant management judgment or estimation.

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, accounts receivable, foreign currency exchange contracts, equity securities, accounts payable and short-term and long-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, certain equity securities and foreign currency exchange contracts are reported at their respective fair values in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded using the measurement alternative of cost less impairment, if any, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Short-term and long-term debt are reported at their amortized costs in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining financial instruments are reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts that approximate current fair values.

Level 2 Inputs

We estimate the fair values of Level 2 instruments by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income-based and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate the fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark securities, prepayment/default projections based on historical data and other observable inputs.

Substantially all of our foreign currency derivative contracts have maturities within an 18-month time horizon and all are with counterparties that have a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Ratings, Inc. We estimate the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration the valuations obtained from

11

a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates, London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) and swap rates. These inputs, where applicable, are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

The total estimated fair values of our short-term and long-term debt, determined using Level 2 inputs based on their quoted market values, were approximately $27.7 billion and $27.3 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and the carrying values were $24.1 billion and $24.6 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Accrued interest receivable excluded from both the fair value and amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities was $60 million and $37 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and is recorded in Prepaid and other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the adoption of the new credit loss standard, we made an accounting policy election to not measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable. There were no write-offs of accrued interest receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

We held a total of 873 positions which were in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2020. The unrealized losses are largely due to changes in interest rates. We do not intend to sell these securities nor do we believe that we will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of the amortized cost basis. Accordingly, no credit losses were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Our operations in foreign countries expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and various foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. To manage this risk, we may hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposures related to outstanding monetary assets and liabilities as well as forecasted product sales using foreign currency exchange forward or option contracts. In general, the market risk related to these contracts is offset by corresponding gains and losses on the hedged transactions. The credit risk associated with these contracts is driven by changes in interest and currency exchange rates and, as a result, varies over time. By working only with major banks and closely monitoring current market conditions, we seek to limit the risk that counterparties to these contracts may be unable to perform. We also seek to limit our risk of loss by entering into contracts that permit net settlement at maturity. Therefore, our overall risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is limited to the amount of any unrealized gains on outstanding contracts (i.e., those contracts that have a positive fair value) at the date of default. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes.

We hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for certain monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The derivative instruments we use to hedge this exposure are not designated as hedges and, as a result, changes in their fair value are recorded in Other income (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

We hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for forecasted product sales that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The derivative instruments we use to hedge this exposure are designated as cash flow hedges and have maturities of 18 months or less. Upon executing a hedging contract and quarterly thereafter, we assess hedge effectiveness using regression analysis. The unrealized gains or losses in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) are reclassified into product sales when the respective hedged transactions affect earnings. The majority of gains and losses related to the hedged forecasted transactions reported in AOCI as of March 31, 2020 are expected to be reclassified to product sales within 12 months.

The cash flow effects of our derivative contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were included within Net cash provided by operating activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

We had notional amounts on foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding of $3.0 billion and $2.9 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

6. ACQUISITION, COLLABORATIONS AND OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

We continue to pursue acquisitions, in licensing and strategic collaborations and other similar arrangements with third parties for the development and commercialization of certain products and product candidates. These arrangements may include non-refundable up-front payments, expense reimbursements or payments by us for options to acquire certain rights, contingent obligations by us for potential development and regulatory milestone payments and/or sales-based milestone payments, royalty payments, revenue or profit sharing arrangements, cost sharing arrangements and equity investments.

Acquisition

Forty Seven

On April 7, 2020, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Forty Seven, Inc. (Forty Seven), a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on developing therapies targeting cancer immune evasion pathways and specific cell targeting approaches, for a price of $95.50 per share in cash, or approximately $4.9 billion. As a result, Forty Seven became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Forty Seven’s lead program, magrolimab, is a monoclonal antibody in clinical development for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and solid tumors.

This transaction will be accounted for as an asset acquisition because the lead asset, magrolimab, represents substantially all the fair value of the assets acquired. As such, substantially all of the purchase price will be expensed as acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) within Research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Collaborations and Other Arrangements

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we entered into several collaborative and other similar arrangements, including equity investments and licensing arrangements, that we do not consider to be individually material. Cash outflows and accrued expenses for up-front payments related to these arrangements totaled $105 million and $187 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, of which $97 million and $126 million, respectively, were recorded as up-front collaboration and licensing expenses within Research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Under the financial terms of these arrangements, we may be required to make payments upon achievement of developmental, regulatory and commercial milestones, which could be significant. Future milestone payments, if any, will be reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when the corresponding events become probable. In addition, we may be required to pay significant royalties on future sales if products related to these arrangements are commercialized. The payment of these amounts, however, is contingent upon the occurrence of various future events, which have a high degree of uncertainty of occurrence.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are a party to various legal actions. The most significant of these are described below. We recognize accruals for such actions to the extent that we conclude that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. We accrue for the best estimate of a loss within a range; however, if no estimate in the range is better than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount in the range. If we determine that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the possible loss. Unless otherwise noted, it is not possible to determine the outcome of these matters, and we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss.

We did not have any material accruals for the matters described below in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Litigation Related to Sofosbuvir

In 2012, we acquired Pharmasset, Inc. (Pharmasset). Through the acquisition, we acquired sofosbuvir, a nucleotide analog that acts to inhibit the replication of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). In 2013, we received approval from FDA for sofosbuvir, now known commercially as Sovaldi. Sofosbuvir is also included in all of our marketed HCV products. We have received a number of litigation claims regarding sofosbuvir. While we have carefully considered these claims both prior to and following the acquisition and believe they are without merit, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such claims or range of loss.

We are aware of patents and patent applications owned by third parties that have been or may in the future be alleged by such parties to cover the use of our HCV products. If third parties obtain valid and enforceable patents, and successfully prove infringement of those patents by our HCV products, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of intellectual property claims related to our HCV products. We have spent, and will continue to spend, significant resources defending against these claims.

Litigation with Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Idenix), Universita Degli Studi di Cagliari (UDSG), Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and L’Université Montpellier II

In 2013, Idenix, UDSG, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and L’Université Montpellier II sued us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the commercialization of sofosbuvir infringes U.S. Patent No. 7,608,600 (the ‘600 patent). We prevailed at all phases of litigation concerning the ‘600 patent, and in 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Idenix’s petition for certiorari. Also in 2013, Idenix and UDSG sued us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that the commercialization of sofosbuvir infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 6,914,054 (the ‘054 patent) and 7,608,597 (the ‘597 patent). In 2014, the court transferred the Massachusetts litigation to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

Prior to trial in 2016, Idenix committed to give us a covenant not to sue with respect to any claims arising out of the ‘054 patent related to sofosbuvir and withdrew that patent from the trial. A jury trial was held in 2016 on the ‘597 patent, and the jury found that we willfully infringed the asserted claims of the ‘597 patent and awarded Idenix $2.54 billion in past damages. In 2018, the judge invalidated Idenix’s ‘597 patent and vacated the jury’s award of $2.54 billion in past damages. Idenix appealed this decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC), and in October 2019, the CAFC issued an opinion affirming the trial court’s decision that the ‘597 patent is invalid. In April 2020, the CAFC denied Idenix’s petition for rehearing en banc. Idenix may seek review by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Litigation with the University of Minnesota

The University of Minnesota (the University) has obtained U.S. Patent No. 8,815,830 (the ‘830 patent), which purports to broadly cover nucleosides with antiviral and anticancer activity. In 2016, the University filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, alleging that the commercialization of sofosbuvir-containing products infringes the ‘830 patent. We believe the ‘830 patent is invalid and will not be infringed by the continued commercialization of sofosbuvir. In 2017, the court granted our motion to transfer the case to California. We have also filed petitions for inter partes review with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) alleging that all asserted claims are invalid for anticipation and obviousness. In 2018, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California stayed the litigation until after the PTAB rules on our petitions for inter partes review.

Litigation Related to Axicabtagene Ciloleucel

We own patents and patent applications that protect our axicabtagene ciloleucel chimeric DNA segments. Third parties may have, or may obtain rights to, patents that could allegedly be used to prevent or attempt to prevent us from commercializing axicabtagene ciloleucel or to require us to obtain a license in order to commercialize axicabtagene ciloleucel.

18

In October 2017, Juno Therapeutics, Inc. and Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (collectively, Juno) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging that the commercialization of axicabtagene ciloleucel, sold commercially as Yescarta, infringes on U.S. Patent No. 7,446,190 (the ‘190 patent). A jury trial was held on the ‘190 patent, and in December 2019, the jury found that the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent were valid, and that we willfully infringed the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent. The jury also awarded Juno damages in amounts of $585 million in an up-front payment and a 27.6% running royalty from October 2017 through the date of the jury’s verdict. The parties filed post-trial motions in the first quarter of 2020, and the trial judge entered a judgment in April 2020. The trial judge affirmed the jury’s verdict, enhanced the past damages by 50% and maintained the royalties on future Yescarta sales at 27.6%.

In assessing whether we should accrue a liability for this litigation in our consolidated financial statements, we considered various factors, including the legal and factual circumstances of the case, the jury’s verdict, the district court’s pre- and post-trial orders, the current status of the proceedings, applicable law, the views of legal counsel and the likelihood that the judgment will be upheld on appeal. As a result of this review, we have determined, in accordance with applicable accounting standards, that it is not probable that we will incur a material loss as a result of this litigation.

If the judgment is reversed on appeal, the loss will be zero. If the judgment is upheld in its entirety on appeal, we estimate a loss through the first quarter of 2020 to be approximately $1.2 billion, which consists of (i) approximately $811 million, which represents damages on Yescarta revenues through December 12, 2019, and prejudgment interest thereon, (ii) approximately $389 million, which represents a 50% enhancement of past damages and (iii) approximately $45 million for royalties and prejudgment interest on Yescarta revenues from December 13, 2019 to March 31, 2020. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of this litigation on appeal, we believe the jury’s verdict and the judgment to be in error. We plan to file an appeal in the second quarter of 2020 seeking to reverse the judgment or obtain a new trial due to errors made by the trial judge.

Litigation Related to Bictegravir

In 2018, ViiV Healthcare Company (ViiV) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, alleging that the commercialization of bictegravir, sold commercially in combination with tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine as Biktarvy, infringes ViiV’s U.S. Patent No. 8,129,385 (the ‘385 patent) covering ViiV’s dolutegravir. Bictegravir is structurally different from dolutegravir, and we believe that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of the ‘385 patent. To the extent that ViiV’s patent claims are interpreted to cover bictegravir, we believe those claims are invalid. The court has set a trial date of September 2020 for this lawsuit.

In 2018, ViiV also filed a lawsuit against us in the Federal Court of Canada, alleging that our activities relating to our bictegravir compound have infringed ViiV’s Canadian Patent No. 2,606,282 (the ‘282 patent), which was issued to Shionogi & Co. Ltd. and ViiV. The ‘282 patent is the compound patent covering ViiV’s dolutegravir. We believe that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of the ‘282 patent. In January 2020, the court held a summary trial to assess ViiV’s infringement allegations. In April 2020, the court determined that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of the ’282 patent and dismissed the case. ViiV may choose to appeal this decision.

In November and December 2019, ViiV filed lawsuits in France, Germany, Ireland and the UK asserting the relevant national designations of European Patent No. 3 045 206; in Australia asserting Australian Patent No. 2006239177; in Japan asserting Japanese Patent No. 4295353; and in Korea asserting Korean Patent Nos. 1848819 and 1363875. These patents all relate to molecules which ViiV claims would act as integrase inhibitors. We believe that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of any of ViiV’s patents. In all jurisdictions, to the extent that the claims of ViiV’s patents are interpreted to cover bictegravir, we believe that those claims are invalid. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of intellectual property claims related to bictegravir.

Litigation Relating to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis

In August 2019, we filed petitions requesting inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,044,509, 9,579,333, 9,937,191 (‘191 patent) and 10,335,423 (‘423 patent) (collectively, HHS Patents) by PTAB. The HHS Patents are assigned to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and purport to claim a process of protecting a primate host from infection by an immunodeficiency retrovirus by administering a combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir or TDF prior to exposure of the host to the immunodeficiency retrovirus, a process commonly known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). In November 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, alleging that the sale of Truvada and Descovy for use as PrEP infringes the HHS Patents. In February 2020, PTAB declined to institute our petitions for inter partes review of the HHS Patents. In April 2020, we filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the U.S. federal government in the Court of Federal Claims, alleging violations of four material transfer agreements (MTAs) related to the research underlying the HHS Patents and a clinical trial agreement (CTA) by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention related to PrEP research. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of these litigation matters, we believe that the U.S. federal government breached the MTAs and CTA, that Truvada and Descovy do not infringe the HHS Patents and that the HHS Patents are invalid over prior art descriptions of Truvada’s use for PrEP and post-exposure prophylaxis as well as because physicians and patients were using the claimed methods years before HHS filed the applications for the patents.

Litigation with Generic Manufacturers

As part of the approval process for some of our products, FDA granted us a New Chemical Entity (NCE) exclusivity period during which other manufacturers’ applications for approval of generic versions of our product will not be approved. Generic manufacturers may challenge the patents protecting products that have been granted NCE exclusivity one year prior to the end of the NCE exclusivity period. Generic manufacturers have sought and may continue to seek FDA approval for a similar or identical drug through an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA), the application form typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug. The sale of generic versions of our products earlier than their patent expiration would have a significant negative effect on our revenues and results of operations. To seek approval for a generic version of a product having NCE status, a generic company may submit its ANDA to FDA four years after the branded product’s approval.

Starting in December 2019, we received letters from Lupin Ltd., Apotex Inc., Shilpa Medicare Ltd., Sunshine Lake Pharma Co. Ltd., Laurus Labs, Natco Pharma Ltd., Macleods Pharma Ltd., Hetero Labs Ltd. and Cipla Ltd. (collectively, generic manufacturers) indicating that they have submitted ANDAs to FDA requesting permission to market and manufacture generic versions of certain of our tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)-containing products. Between them, these generic manufacturers seek to market generic versions of Odefsey, Descovy and Vemlidy. Some generic manufacturers have challenged the validity of four patents listed on the Orange Book and associated with TAF, while others have challenged the validity of two of our Orange Book-listed patents associated with TAF. We filed lawsuits against the generic manufacturers, and we intend to enforce and defend our intellectual property.

European Patent Claims

In 2015, several parties filed oppositions in the European Patent Office (EPO) requesting revocation of one of our granted European patents covering sofosbuvir that expires in 2028. In 2016, the EPO upheld the validity of certain claims of our sofosbuvir patent. We have appealed this decision, seeking to restore all of the original claims, and several of the original opposing parties have also appealed, requesting full revocation. The appeal hearing is scheduled for July 2020.

In 2017, several parties filed oppositions in the EPO requesting revocation of our granted European patent relating to sofosbuvir that expires in 2024. The EPO conducted an oral hearing for this opposition in 2018 and upheld the claims. Two of the original opposing parties have appealed, requesting full revocation.

In 2016, several parties filed oppositions in the EPO requesting revocation of our granted European patent covering TAF that expires in 2026. In 2017, the EPO upheld the validity of the claims of our TAF patent. Three parties have appealed this decision.

In 2017, several parties filed oppositions in the EPO requesting revocation of our granted European patent relating to TAF hemifumarate that expires in 2032. In 2019, the EPO upheld the validity of the claims of our TAF hemifumarate patent. Three parties have appealed this decision.

In 2016, three parties filed oppositions in the EPO requesting revocation of our granted European patent covering cobicistat that expires in 2027. In 2017, the EPO upheld the validity of the claims of our cobicistat patent. Two parties have appealed this decision.

The appeal process may take several years for all EPO opposition proceedings. While we are confident in the strength of our patents, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these oppositions. If we are unsuccessful in defending these oppositions, some or all of our patent claims may be narrowed or revoked and the patent protection for sofosbuvir, TAF, TAF hemifumarate and cobicistat in the European Union could be substantially shortened or eliminated entirely. If our patents are revoked, and no other European patents are granted covering these compounds, our exclusivity may be based entirely on regulatory exclusivity granted by the European Medicines Agency. If we lose patent protection for any of these compounds, our revenues and results of operations could be negatively impacted for the years including and succeeding the year in which such exclusivity is lost.

Government Investigations and Related Litigation

In 2011, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California requesting documents related to the manufacture, quality and distribution practices of Complera, Atripla, Truvada, Viread, Emtriva, Hepsera and Letairis. We cooperated with the government’s inquiry. In 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice informed us that, following an investigation, it declined to intervene in a False Claims Act lawsuit filed by two former employees. Also in 2014, the former employees filed a First Amended Complaint, and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued an order granting in its entirety, without prejudice, our motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint. In 2015, the plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, and the District Court issued an order granting our motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. The plaintiffs then filed a notice of appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Ninth Circuit). In 2017, the Ninth Circuit granted our motion to stay the case pending an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, and we filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2018, the Solicitor General submitted a brief for the United States to the U.S. Supreme Court stating its intention to file a motion to dismiss under the federal False Claims Act. In January 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition and the case was remanded to the District Court. In November 2019, the District Court issued an order granting the Department of Justice’s motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, dismissing two of the plaintiffs’ federal False Claims Act claims. In January

20

2020, the plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint in the District Court, and in February 2020, we filed a motion to dismiss and a motion to strike portions of that complaint. In March 2020, while our motion to dismiss and motion to strike were still pending, the plaintiffs filed a motion for voluntary dismissal without prejudice in the District Court, seeking to dismiss all of their claims in order to re-file some claims in state court. In April 2020, the District Court granted plaintiffs’ request for voluntary dismissal and also significantly narrowed the scope of the plaintiffs’ claims, by dismissing with prejudice the plaintiffs’ federal False Claims Act and retaliation claims and all state and local False Claims Act and retaliation claims, other than those based on California law.

In 2016, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts requesting documents related to our support of 501(c)(3) organizations that provide financial assistance to patients and documents concerning our provision of financial assistance to patients for our HCV products. We are cooperating with this inquiry. In 2017, we received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts requesting documents related to our copay coupon program and Medicaid price reporting methodology. We are cooperating with this inquiry.

In 2017, we received a voluntary request for information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania requesting information related to our reimbursement support offerings, clinical education programs and interactions with specialty pharmacies for Sovaldi and Harvoni. In 2018, we received another voluntary request for information related to our speaker programs and advisory boards for our HCV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) products. We cooperated with these voluntary requests. In October 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice informed us that, following an investigation, it declined to intervene in two False Claims Act lawsuits against us relating to HCV reimbursement support and clinical education programs and hepatitis B speaker programs and advisory boards, respectively. Notwithstanding the government’s declination, two plaintiffs have continued to pursue the lawsuit relating to HBV speaker programs and advisory boards and served us with the Second Amended Complaint in November 2019. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit, we believe the action is without merit and we intend to vigorously defend against it.

In 2017, we received a subpoena from the California Department of Insurance and the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office requesting documents related to our marketing activities, reimbursement support offerings, clinical education programs and interactions with specialty pharmacies for Harvoni and Sovaldi. We are cooperating with this inquiry.

In 2017, we also received a subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York requesting documents related to our promotional speaker programs for HIV. We are cooperating with this inquiry.

Product Liability

We have been named as a defendant in one class action lawsuit and various product liability lawsuits related to Viread, Truvada, Atripla, Complera and Stribild. Plaintiffs allege that Viread, Truvada, Atripla, Complera and/or Stribild caused them to experience kidney, bone and/or tooth injuries. The lawsuits, which are pending in state or federal court in California, Delaware, Florida and Hawaii, involve thousands of plaintiffs. Plaintiffs in these cases seek damages and other relief on various grounds for alleged personal injury and economic loss. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these actions. While we believe these cases are without merit, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome. If plaintiffs are successful in their claims, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages.

Antitrust and Consumer Protection

We (along with Japan Tobacco Inc. (Japan Tobacco), Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and Johnson & Johnson, Inc.) have been named as defendants in class action lawsuits filed in 2019 and 2020 related to various drugs used to treat HIV, including drugs used in combination antiretroviral therapy. Japan Tobacco was recently dismissed from the primary lawsuit after a favorable court ruling on the defendants’ motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs allege that we (and the other remaining defendants) engaged in various conduct to restrain competition in violation of federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws. The lawsuits, which have been or may be consolidated, are all pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and seek to bring claims on behalf of a nationwide class of wholesale and end-payor purchasers. A similar lawsuit recently filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida has been consolidated and transferred to the U.S. District for the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs seek damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves in these actions. While we believe these cases are without merit, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome. If plaintiffs are successful in their claims, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages or could be subject to permanent injunctive relief awarded in favor of plaintiffs. 

Other Matters

We are a party to various legal actions that arose in the ordinary course of our business. We do not believe that these other legal actions will have a material adverse impact on our consolidated business, financial position or results of operations.

11. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock Repurchase Programs

In the first quarter of 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a $12.0 billion stock repurchase program (2016 Program) under which repurchases may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We started repurchases under the 2016 Program in April 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we repurchased and retired 19 million and 12 million shares of our common stock for $1.3 billion and $834 million, respectively, through open market transactions under the 2016 Program. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining authorized repurchase amount under the 2016 Program was $2.1 billion.

In the first quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a new $5.0 billion stock repurchase program (2020 Program), which will commence upon the completion of the 2016 Program. Purchases under the 2020 Program may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The following table summarizes the changes in AOCI by component, net of tax (in millions):

	Foreign Currency Translation			Unrealized Gains and Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities			Unrealized Gains and Losses on Cash Flow Hedges			Total
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	53		$	1		$	31		$	85
Net unrealized gain (loss)	(39		)	(23		)	57			(5		)
Reclassifications to net income	—			(11		)	(23		)	(34		)

Balance at March 31, 2020	$	14		$	(33	)	$	65		$	46

	Foreign Currency Translation		Unrealized Gains and Losses on Available-for-Sale Debt Securities			Unrealized Gains and Losses on Cash Flow Hedges			Total
Balance at December 31, 2018	$	47	$	(52	)	$	85		$	80
Net unrealized gain	21		30			28			79
Reclassifications to net income	—		—			(29		)	(29		)
Net current period other comprehensive income (loss)	21		30			(1		)	50
Balance at March 31, 2019	$	68	$	(22	)	$	84		$	130

The amounts reclassified to net income for gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded as part of Product sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 5. Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information. The amounts reclassified to net income for gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are recorded as part of Other income (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Gross realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The income tax impact allocated to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) was not material for the periods presented.

12. NET INCOME PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO GILEAD COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Basic net income per share attributable to Gilead common stockholders is calculated based on the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share attributable to Gilead common stockholders is calculated based on the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock and other dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The potentially dilutive shares of our common stock resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and equivalents were determined under the treasury stock method.

Potential shares of common stock excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to Gilead common shareholders because their effect would have been antidilutive were 14 million and 16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

22

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Gilead common stockholders (in millions, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2020		2019
Net income attributable to Gilead	$	1,551	$	1,975
Shares used in per share calculation - basic	1,262		1,276
Dilutive effect of stock options and equivalents	8		7
Shares used in per share calculation - diluted	1,270		1,283
Net income per share attributable to Gilead common stockholders - basic	$	1.23	$	1.55
Net income per share attributable to Gilead common stockholders - diluted	$	1.22	$	1.54

13. INCOME TAXES

Our effective income tax rate of 23.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) tax, state taxes and our portion of the non-deductible Branded Prescription Drug (BPD) fee.

Our effective income tax rate of 16.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a $119 million tax benefit related to settlements with taxing authorities and earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries that operate in jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the United States, partially offset by the GILTI tax, state taxes and our portion of the non-deductible BPD fee.

We are currently under examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service for the tax years from 2013 to 2015 and by various state and foreign jurisdictions. There are differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations, and as a result, significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions. We regularly evaluate our exposures associated with our tax filing positions to determine our assessment of unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with the income tax guidance which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.

As of March 31, 2020, we believe that it is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $500 million in the next 12 months due to potential resolutions with a taxing authority.

Recent Developments

Our COVID-19 Pandemic Response:

Advancing remdesivir: We made rapid progress in advancing remdesivir as a potential treatment for COVID-19. We initiated two open-label Phase 3 studies in February (the Gilead SIMPLE studies). Additional global studies are ongoing, including a global, placebo-controlled trial being led by the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), as well as more recently initiated studies through the World Health Organization and INSERM in France.

In April 2020, NIAID announced that the preliminary results from their trial met the primary endpoint, and remdesivir was found to shorten the time to recovery for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 when compared with a placebo. We also announced topline results from the first Gilead SIMPLE study evaluating 5-day and 10-day dosing durations of remdesivir in patients with severe COVID-19 disease. The study demonstrated similar clinical improvements in patients with severe symptoms of COVID-19, regardless of whether they received five or ten days of treatment.

24

On May 1, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted emergency use authorization (EUA) for remdesivir.  The EUA will facilitate broader use of remdesivir to treat hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 disease, enabling access to remdesivir at additional hospitals across the United States. Under the EUA, both 5-day and 10-day treatment durations are suggested, based on the severity of disease. The authorization is temporary and does not take the place of the formal new drug application submission, review and approval process. Remdesivir remains an investigational drug and has not been approved by FDA.

We also took significant steps to expand remdesivir manufacturing production, announcing the expectation that more than 140,000 treatment courses of remdesivir will be manufactured by the end of May 2020. As we continue to work with international partners to expand production, we announced that we anticipate more than one million treatment courses will be manufactured by December 2020, with plans to be able to produce several million treatment courses in 2021. However, these projections assume a 10-day dosing duration, and the number of treatment courses expected to be available may actually be higher based on the recent topline results from the first Gilead SIMPLE study, which suggests the potential for certain patients to be treated with a shorter dosing duration.

Employee health, safety and productivity support: We took steps and provided resources to help ensure the health, safety and productivity of our employees, with most staff in offices around the world being asked to work remotely. Individuals with physical-location dependent roles are reporting to work, and we have implemented social distancing protocols, increased cleaning and sanitization and other measures to protect those employees.

We are providing additional benefits to our employees during this time, including work-from-home and certain childcare expense reimbursements, employee well-being resources, essential onsite services pay for those physical-location dependent roles, and a revised volunteer medical service paid leave policy for our employees with medical training, such as doctors, nurses and physician assistants, to help treat patients.

Community support: We announced the entirety of our initial supply of remdesivir of 1.5 million individual doses will be donated free of charge through current access programs and clinical trials and for broader distribution following any potential regulatory authorizations.

We announced the creation of the global Gilead CARES (COVID-19 Acute Relief and Emergency Support) Grantee Fund to provide financial support to current nonprofit grantees facing an imminent closure or termination of vital services due to losses attributable to the pandemic. The fund will provide up to $20 million in donations to these groups.

We also announced the following community donations: $1 million to the San Mateo County Strong Fund, which is providing financial support to individuals, small businesses and nonprofit organizations in San Mateo County where Gilead is based, and $1 million to the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles, which is providing support for families and small businesses, relief for healthcare workers and other services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Supply chain and access to medicines: There are currently no significant manufacturing concerns or supply shortages with any of our products. We source various raw materials and active pharmaceutical ingredient for our products from a number of suppliers. We have adequate supply of our products and do not expect any significant risk or disruption to our supply chain for the foreseeable future.

Clinical trials and research: Following a review of our clinical trials and ongoing research, we have determined to continue our fully enrolled trials, temporarily postpone new trials and pause enrollment in other trials. We remain committed to commencing enrollment and initiating new studies when it is appropriate to do so.

Impact of COVID-19:

There is significant uncertainly about the progression and ultimate impact of the pandemic on our business and operations. While COVID-19 did not materially impact our first quarter of 2020 results, we anticipate that COVID-19 could impact our business in the short-term due to factors such as fewer patients accessing treatment for conditions such as HIV and HCV, however, the impact of these developments is uncertain. In addition to this uncertainty, during the first quarter of 2020, we began advancing remdesivir and rapidly expanding our manufacturing production. The total investments in remdesivir, primarily to expand manufacturing production, throughout 2020 could be material, but the amount, timing and accounting for the investments as well as the potential to recoup our at-risk investments at some point in the future are dependent on clinical trial and regulatory outcomes. Where authorized by regulatory authorities, we will focus on making remdesivir both accessible and affordable to governments and patients around the world. Refer to the heading “Financial Highlights” below for the impact of COVID-19 on our first quarter financial results.

During the first quarter of 2020, we continued to make progress in advancing work across each of three long-term ambitions laid out in our corporate strategy: (i) to bring 10+ transformative therapies to patients in the next 10 years; (ii) to be the biotech employer and partner of choice; and (iii) to deliver shareholder value in a sustainable and responsible manner. This progress occurred amid challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and an increased focus across the organization on rapidly advancing remdesivir.

25

Corporate Development: In March, we reached an agreement to acquire Forty Seven, Inc. (Forty Seven) for approximately $4.9 billion, gaining a drug candidate, magrolimab, which is currently in Phase 1b/2 clinical studies for a number of hematological cancers. The acquisition also brings a team with expertise in immuno-oncology, an area of increased focus for us. The acquisition closed in April and we are now working to accelerate progress of magrolimab and grow our immuno-oncology pipeline.

We entered into several additional agreements to advance our business, including a four-year strategic collaboration with Second Genome, Inc. to identify biomarkers associated with clinical response in up to five of our pipeline compounds in inflammation, fibrosis and other diseases, and to identify potential new targets and drug candidates for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Pipeline Progress: We continued to advance several pipeline programs during the first quarter of 2020. Kite, a Gilead company (Kite), achieved two key regulatory milestones for KTE-X19, an investigational cell therapy for the treatment of relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. In Europe, the marketing authorization application for KTE-X19 was fully validated and is now under review by the European Medicines Agency, and in the United States, FDA accepted the Biologics License Application and granted Priority Review designation.

In HIV, key data were presented at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in March for several approved and investigational HIV products. This included new clinical study data for our investigational HIV-1 capsid inhibitor lenacapavir as a potential long-acting treatment for people living with HIV, results from a study of the experimental toll-like receptor 7 agonist vesatolimod, which is part of our HIV cure research program, and additional data on Biktarvy as a treatment for HIV and Descovy for the prevention of HIV.

Expanded Approval: In March, FDA approved Epclusa for children ages 6 and older (or weighing at least 17 kg) with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV). Epclusa is the first pan-genotypic, protease inhibitor-free regimen approved in the United States for children and adults. An estimated 23,000 to 46,000 children in the United States are living with HCV.

New Board Member: In January, Sandra J. Horning, M.D., who retired in 2019 as Chief Medical Officer and Global Head of Product Development at Roche, joined our Board of Directors. Dr. Horning’s appointment brings significant industry and drug development expertise to the Board, as we seek to bring forward transformative new therapies as part of our corporate strategy.

Financial Highlights

Total revenues increased by 5% to $5.5 billion for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $5.3 billion for the same period in 2019, due to higher product sales. Product sales increased by 5% to $5.5 billion for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $5.2 billion for the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher HIV product sales, partially offset by the expected declines in sales of Ranexa and Letairis after generic entries in February and May 2019, respectively. Product sales for the first quarter of 2020 included additional HIV sales of approximately $200 million related to increased customer buying patterns and patient prescription trends due to the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily in the United States, which is expected to reverse itself over subsequent quarters.

Research and development (R&D) expenses slightly increased by 4% to $1,101 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $1,057 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the ramp up of remdesivir, including approximately $50 million of manufacturing scale-up and clinical trial costs, partially offset by lower clinical trial expenses as a result of our pause or postponement of other clinical trials resulting from the pandemic.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses slightly increased by 4% to $1,076 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $1,030 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher promotional expenses in the United States.

Net income attributable to Gilead decreased to $1.6 billion, or $1.22 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $2.0 billion, or $1.54 per diluted share, for the same period in 2019, primarily due to $480 million of unfavorable changes in the fair value of our investments in equity securities largely resulting from our equity investment in Galapagos NV (Galapagos).

As of March 31, 2020, we had $24.3 billion of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities compared to $25.8 billion as of December 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, we generated $1.4 billion in operating cash flow, repaid $500 million of debt, paid cash dividends of $874 million and utilized $1.3 billion on repurchases of our common stock.

In April 2020, we paid approximately $4.9 billion in cash to acquire Forty Seven and expect to recognize the purchase price, attributable almost entirely to acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D), within R&D expenses during the second quarter of 2020.

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our revenues:

	Three Months Ended

Revenues:
Product sales	$	5,467	$	5,200	5	%

Total revenues	$	5,548	$	5,281	5	%

Product Sales

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019

Total product sales increased by 5% to $5.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $5.2 billion for the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher HIV product sales, partially offset by lower sales of Ranexa and Letairis after generic entries in February and May 2019, respectively.

HIV product sales increased by 14% to $4.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $3.6 billion for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the continued uptake of Biktarvy and additional sales of approximately $200 million related to increased customer buying patterns and patient prescription trends due to the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily in the United States, and the increased number of individuals taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The increase was partially offset by lower sales of our Truvada (emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF))-based products. We expect the increase in sales experienced due to COVID-19 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 will largely be reversed in the subsequent quarters. In addition, early signals such as reductions in Descovy for PrEP initiations observed in April suggest that our HIV product sales may be impacted by the pandemic as people defer healthcare visits and switches to Descovy for PrEP; however, it is still too early to understand any trends among those patients.

HCV product sales decreased by 8% to $729 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $790 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to lower average net selling price, partially offset by higher sales volume primarily driven by market share increases in the United States and in other international locations. Due to the pandemic, we expect to see fewer HCV treatment initiations in the second quarter of 2020 as access to healthcare providers and patient willingness to seek treatment declines; however, we anticipate these patients will be treated later in 2020 and 2021.

Yescarta sales increased by 46% to $140 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $96 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the continued expansion in Europe. While we do not currently have material supply disruptions, we expect the number of patients treated in the second quarter of 2020 to decline as a result of reduced access to authorized treatment centers, delayed or canceled treatments and the slowing of community referrals.

Other product sales, which include Vemlidy, Viread, Letairis, Ranexa, Zydelig, AmBisome and Cayston, decreased by 33% to $464 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $696 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to the expected declines in sales of Ranexa and Letairis.

Of our total product sales, 27% were generated outside the United States for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. We faced exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in the Euro. We used foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposure. Foreign currency exchange, net of hedges, had an unfavorable impact on our product sales of $37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, based on a comparison using foreign currency exchange rates from the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Product sales in the United States increased by 5% to $4.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $3.8 billion for the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher sales of our HIV products, partially offset by lower sales of Ranexa and Letairis. The increase in sales of our HIV products was primarily due to the continued uptake of Biktarvy, the increased number of individuals taking PrEP, and increased customer buying patterns and patient prescription trends due to the pandemic, partially offset by decreases in sales of Truvada (FTC/TDF)-based products.

Product sales in Europe increased by 5% to $927 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $882 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher sales of our HIV products and Yescarta, partially offset by lower sales of our HCV products. The increase in sales of our HIV products was primarily due to the continued uptake of Biktarvy and increased customer buying patterns and patient prescription trends due to the pandemic, partially offset by decreases in sales of Truvada

27

(FTC/TDF)-based products. The decrease in sales of our HCV products was primarily due to lower patient starts and lower average net selling price.

Product sales in other locations increased by 6% to $551 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $522 million for the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher sales volumes of Epclusa, Biktarvy and Vemlidy, partially offset by lower average net selling price.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our product sales in the second quarter of 2020 and potentially the remainder of the year could be negatively impacted driven largely by reduced healthcare provider access and fewer patient starts. We expect the greatest impact to our HCV and HIV PrEP franchises. Given the timing of the pandemic and nature of our business, the impact would be most likely be more pronounced in the United States and Europe as compared to Asia.

Given the continued uncertainty in the trajectory of the pandemic and in the development of remdesivir, it is premature to define what the right post-donation business model is to create a sustainable long-term supply for global needs. We will continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and expect to provide additional insights and outlook on our second quarter 2020 earnings call when we expect there will be additional clarity on the duration and magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the development of remdesivir.

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our product sales:

The following is additional discussion of sales of our HIV and HCV products:

• Descovy (FTC/TAF)-based products: Biktarvy, Descovy, Genvoya, Odefsey and Revenue Share - Symtuza

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our sales of Descovy (FTC/TAF)-based products:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions, except percentages)	2020			2019			Change
U.S.	$	2,728		$	2,024		35	%
Europe	558			439			27	%
Other locations	210			150			40	%
Total	$	3,496		$	2,613		34	%
% of total product sales	64		%	50		%
% of HIV product sales	85		%	72		%

The increase in Descovy (FTC/TAF)-based product sales in the United States was primarily due to the continued uptake of Biktarvy and higher sales volume of Descovy driven by patients switching to Descovy for PrEP from Truvada for PrEP and the increased number of individuals taking PrEP, partially offset by lower sales volume of Genvoya.

The increase in Descovy (FTC/TAF)-based product sales in Europe and other locations was primarily due to higher sales volume of Biktarvy and Odefsey, partially offset by lower sales volume of Genvoya.

• Truvada (FTC/TDF)-based products: Atripla, Complera/Eviplera, Stribild and Truvada

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our sales of Truvada (FTC/TDF)-based products:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions, except percentages)	2020			2019			Change
U.S.	$	522		$	795		(34	)%
Europe	79			129			(39	)%
Other locations	29			64			(55	)%
Total	$	630		$	988		(36	)%
% of total product sales	12		%	19		%

The decrease in Truvada (FTC/TDF)-based product sales in the United States was primarily due to lower sales volume as a result of patients switching to regimens containing FTC/TAF. We expect a continued decline in our sales of Truvada in the United States as patients switch to Descovy for PrEP from Truvada for PrEP and the expected entry of generic versions in late 2020.

The decrease in Truvada (FTC/TDF)-based product sales in Europe was primarily due to lower sales volume as a result of the broader availability of generic versions of Truvada and Atripla and patients switching to regimens containing FTC/TAF.

• HCV products: Epclusa, Harvoni, Sovaldi, Vosevi and Authorized Generics of Epclusa and Harvoni

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our sales of HCV products:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions, except percentages)	2020			2019			Change
U.S.	$	398		$	393		1	%
Europe	148			203			(27	)%
Other locations	183			194			(6	)%
Total	$	729		$	790		(8	)%
% of total product sales	13		%	15		%

The increase in HCV product sales in the United States was primarily due to higher sales volume driven by higher market share for our authorized generic version of Epclusa, partially offset by lower average net selling price.

The decrease in HCV product sales in Europe was primarily due to lower patient starts and lower average net selling price.

29

The decrease in HCV product sales in other locations was primarily due to lower average net selling price, partially offset by higher sales volume of Epclusa.

Costs and Expenses

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our costs and expenses:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions, except percentages)	2020		2019		Change
Cost of goods sold	$	969	$	957	1	%
Research and development expenses	$	1,101	$	1,057	4	%
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	1,076	$	1,030	4	%

Research and Development Expenses

R&D expenses consist primarily of clinical studies performed by contract research organizations, materials and supplies, payments under collaborative and other arrangements, including up-front and milestone payments, licenses and fees, as well as expense reimbursements to the collaboration partners, IPR&D impairment charges, personnel costs, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, and overhead allocations consisting of various support and infrastructure costs.

We do not track total R&D expenses by product candidate, therapeutic area or development phase. However, we manage our R&D expenses by identifying the R&D activities we anticipate will be performed during a given period and then prioritizing efforts based on scientific data, probability of technical and regulatory successful development, market potential, available human and capital resources and other considerations. We continually review our R&D projects based on unmet medical need and, as necessary, reallocate resources among our internal R&D portfolio and external opportunities that we believe will best support the long-term growth of our business.

R&D expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased by $44 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to the ramp up of remdesivir, including approximately $50 million of manufacturing scale-up and clinical trial costs, partially offset by lower clinical trial expenses as a result of our pause or postponement of clinical trials resulting from the pandemic.

In April 2020, we acquired Forty Seven for approximately $4.9 billion in cash, which will be accounted for as an asset acquisition. As such, we expect to recognize substantially all of the purchase price as acquired IPR&D within R&D expenses during the second quarter of 2020.

Due to the pandemic, we reviewed our clinical trials and ongoing research and determined to continue our fully enrolled trials, temporarily postpone new trials and pause enrollment in other trials. As a result, we expect a reduction of clinical development expenses in the short-term, which will be at least partially offset by additional investment in remdesivir, including further development and manufacturing scale-up costs. The magnitude of the investment in remdesivir is dependent on the continued evolution of the data, the duration of the pandemic and other factors. The investment for 2020 could be up to $1 billion or more, primarily comprising manufacturing scale-up costs, and the accounting treatment of the investment is dependent upon a number of factors, including potential regulatory approvals.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses relate to sales and marketing, finance, human resources, legal and other administrative activities. Expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, facilities and overhead costs, outside marketing, advertising and legal expenses and other general and administrative costs. SG&A expenses also include the Branded Prescription Drug (BPD) fee.

SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased by $46 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to higher promotional expenses in the United States, partially offset by reduced spending on other sales and marketing activities resulting from the pandemic.

As part of our response to the pandemic, we are providing additional benefits to our employees and community donations; however, we expect these increases to be largely offset by the savings from temporarily reduced sales and marketing activities resulting from the pandemic.

30

Other Income (Expense), Net

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our Other income (expense), net:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions, except percentages)	2020			2019		Change
Other income (expense), net	$	(158	)	$	367	(143	)%

The change in Other income (expense), net in three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to $480 million of unfavorable changes in the fair value of investments in equity securities largely resulting from our equity investment in Galapagos.

Provision for Income Taxes

The following table summarizes the period-over-period changes in our Provision for income taxes:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions, except percentages)	2020			2019			Change
Effective tax rate	23.2		%	16.3		%	6.9		%
Provision for income taxes	$	465		$	382		$	83

The increase in our effective tax rate and provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, was primarily due to $119 million of favorable settlements with taxing authorities in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that our existing capital resources, supplemented by our cash flows generated from operating activities, will be adequate to satisfy our capital needs for the foreseeable future.

The following table summarizes our cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities and working capital:

(In millions)	March 31, 2020		December 31, 2019
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities	$	24,314	$	25,840
Working capital	$	18,071	$	20,537

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Debt Securities

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities decreased by $1.5 billion, or 6%, compared to December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we generated $1.4 billion in operating cash flow, repaid $500 million of debt, paid cash dividends of $874 million and repurchased 19 million shares of our common stock for $1.3 billion through open market transactions. In April 2020, we paid approximately $4.9 billion in cash to acquire Forty Seven.

Working Capital

Working capital decreased by $2.5 billion, or 12%, compared to December 31, 2019, primarily due to the factors noted above under the heading Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Debt Securities and lower short-term marketable debt securities resulting from a shift in our investment strategy to investing in longer dated securities.

Accounts receivable increased by $325 million, compared to December 31, 2019, primarily due to increased customer buying patterns and patient prescription trends in March due to the pandemic. The majority of our trade accounts receivable arises from product sales in the United States, Europe and Japan.

31

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In millions)	2020			2019
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	1,436		$	1,577
Investing activities	$	(344	)	$	(244	)
Financing activities	$	(2,611	)	$	(2,366	)

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities represents the cash receipts and disbursements related to all activities other than investing and financing activities. Operating cash flow is derived by adjusting our net income for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $141 million to $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of changes in operating assets and liabilities.

To conform to the current period presentation, up-front and milestone payments related to collaborative and other arrangements of $133 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were reclassified from operating activities to investing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities primarily consists of purchases, sales and maturities of our marketable debt securities, capital expenditures, up-front and milestone payments related to collaborative and other arrangements, purchases of equity securities and other investments. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to higher purchases of marketable debt securities and lower proceeds from maturities of our marketable debt securities, partially offset by higher proceeds from sales of our marketable debt securities. The increases in purchases and sales of our marketable debt securities were primarily the result of a shift in our investment strategy to investing in longer dated securities.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to $494 million higher repurchases of our common stock, partially offset by $250 million lower repayments of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Debt and Credit Facilities

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repaid $500 million of debt upon maturity. As of March 31, 2020, no amounts were outstanding under our $2.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility agreement maturing in May 2021. See Note 9. Debt And Credit Facilities of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our significant accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various market-specific and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information, such as the economic considerations related to the impact that the recent COVID-19 pandemic could have on our significant accounting estimates. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates is presented in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 1. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation as of March 31, 2020 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and has concluded that there was no change during such quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a description of our significant pending legal proceedings, please see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the following risks in addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. A manifestation of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, therefore, you should not consider the following risks to be a complete statement of all the potential risks or uncertainties that we face.

A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from sales of our HIV products. If we are unable to increase or maintain our HIV sales, then our results of operations may be adversely affected.

We receive a substantial portion of our revenue from sales of our products for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, sales of our HIV products accounted for approximately 76% of our total product sales, and our HIV products account for a higher percentage of our total product sales in 2020 than in 2019. Most of our HIV products contain tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) and/or emtricitabine (FTC), which belong to the nucleoside class of antiviral therapeutics. If the treatment paradigm for HIV changes, causing nucleoside-based therapeutics to fall out of favor, or if we are unable to maintain or increase our HIV product sales, our results of operations would likely suffer and we would likely need to scale back our operations, including our future drug development and spending on research and development (R&D) efforts.

In addition, future sales of our HIV products depend, in part, on the extent of reimbursement of our products by private and public payers. We may continue to experience global pricing pressure that could result in larger discounts or rebates on our products or delayed reimbursement, which negatively impacts our product sales and results of operations. Also, private and public payers may choose to exclude our products from their formulary coverage lists or limit the types of patients for whom coverage will be provided, which would negatively impact the demand for, and revenues of, our products. Any change in the formulary coverage, reimbursement levels or discounts or rebates offered on our products to payers may impact our anticipated revenues. If we are unable to achieve our forecasted HIV sales, our stock price could be adversely impacted.

We may be unable to sustain or increase sales of our HIV products for any number of reasons including, but not limited to, the reasons discussed above and the following:

• As our products are used over a longer period of time in many patients and in combination with other products, and additional studies are conducted, new issues with respect to safety, resistance and interactions with other drugs may arise, which could cause us to provide additional warnings or contraindications on our labels, narrow our approved indications or halt sales of a product, each of which could reduce our revenues.

• As our products mature, private insurers and government payers often reduce the amount they will reimburse patients for these products, which increases pressure on us to reduce prices.

• If physicians do not see the benefit of our HIV products, the sales of our HIV products will be limited.

• As new branded or generic products are introduced into major markets, our ability to maintain pricing and market share may be affected.

If we fail to develop and commercialize new products or expand the indications for existing products, our prospects for future revenues and our results of operations may be adversely affected.

The success of our business depends on our ability to introduce new products as well as expand the indications for our existing products to address areas of unmet medical need. The launch of commercially successful products is necessary to cover our substantial R&D expenses and to offset revenue losses when our existing products lose market share due to various factors such as competition and loss of patent exclusivity, as well as to provide for the growth of our business. There are many difficulties and uncertainties inherent in drug development and the introduction of new products. The product development cycle is characterized by significant investments of resources, long lead times and unpredictable outcomes due to the nature of developing medicines for human use. We expend significant time and resources on our product pipeline without any assurance that we will recoup our investments or that our efforts will be commercially successful. A high rate of failure is inherent in the discovery and development of new products, and failure can occur at any point in the process, including late in the process after substantial investment. For example, see “We face risks in our clinical trials, including the potential for unfavorable results, delays in anticipated timelines and disruption, which may adversely affect our prospects for future revenue growth and our results of operations.” We cannot state with certainty when or whether any of our product candidates under development will be approved or launched; whether we will

34

be able to develop, license or acquire additional product candidates or products; or whether any products, once launched, will be commercially successful. Failure to launch commercially successful new products or new indications for existing products could have a material adverse effect on our future revenues, results of operations and long-term success.

Our business may be adversely affected by outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic or contagious diseases, including the recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.

Outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic or contagious diseases, such as COVID-19, may significantly disrupt our global operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a global pandemic as the novel coronavirus continues to spread throughout the world. The spread of this pandemic has caused significant volatility and uncertainty in U.S. and international markets and has resulted in increased risks to our operations. In addition to the developments discussed in Part I, Item 2 "Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," we are monitoring a number of risks related to this pandemic, including the following:

• Supply Chain: While to date we have not experienced significant disruptions in our supply chain and distribution, an extended duration of this pandemic could result in disruptions in the future. For example, quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar government orders, travel restrictions and health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, could impact the availability or productivity of personnel at third-party manufacturers, distributors, freight carriers and other necessary components of our supply chain. In addition, there may be unfavorable changes in the availability or cost of raw materials, intermediates and other materials necessary for production, which may result in disruptions in our supply chain and adversely affect our ability to distribute certain of our products or product candidates for commercial or clinical supply.

• Clinical Trials: This pandemic has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect certain of our clinical trials, including our ability to initiate and complete our clinical trials within the anticipated timelines. Due to site and participant availability during the pandemic and in the interest of patient safety, we have paused new subject enrollment for most clinical trials, although we have not postponed enrollment in studies where patient outcomes are critically impacted and instead left enrollment to the discretion of the investigators of those studies. For ongoing trials, we have seen an increasing number of clinical trial sites imposing restrictions on patient visits to limit risks of possible COVID-19 exposure, and we may experience issues with participant compliance with clinical trial protocols as a result of quarantines, travel restrictions and interruptions to healthcare services. The current pressures on medical systems and the prioritization of healthcare resources toward the COVID-19 pandemic have also resulted in interruptions in data collection and submissions for certain clinical trials and delayed starts for certain planned studies. As a result, our anticipated filing and marketing timelines may be adversely impacted.

• Regulatory Reviews: The operations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) or other regulatory agencies may be adversely affected. There is the possibility that we may experience delays with our New Drug Application (NDA) for filgotinib for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis filed with FDA and our NDA and Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for KTE-X19 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma filed with FDA and EMA. We may also experience delays in necessary interactions with regulatory authorities around the world, including with respect to any anticipated filings.

• Patient Access: This pandemic has limited patients’ ability to access and seek care from healthcare providers and initiate new therapies, which is expected to result in lower demand for our products, particularly with respect to HIV treatment and prevention, hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment and cell therapy, during the pandemic. For example, the U.S Department of Health and Human Services recently issued interim guidance recommending the delay of HIV regimen switches during the COVID-19 pandemic until close healthcare follow-up and monitoring are possible, and we have observed reductions in initiations and lower switch volume for our HIV products. We may also see a reduction in prescription refills for HIV prevention. In cell therapy, patients could experience reduced access to authorized treatment centers and delayed or canceled CAR T therapies. In addition, with the rising unemployment, we are likely to see a shift in payer mix towards more government-funded coverage and the uninsured segment, which could result in lower revenues.

• Financial: While to date, the financial impact to our business has been modest, we anticipate that the pandemic could have an adverse financial impact in the short-term and potentially beyond. As a result of reduced patient access and a shift in payer mix, we may experience lower revenues in the second quarter of 2020 and potentially the remainder of the year, particularly with respect to our HIV, HCV and cell therapy business. We also expect to have increased research and development expenses in the second quarter of 2020 and beyond related to our continued investment in remdesivir, subject to clinical data and regulatory outcomes, and we could also have unexpected expenses related to the pandemic. The short-term revenue and expense variations, as well as the overall uncertainty and disruption caused by the pandemic, could result in increased volatility and decreased predictability in our results of operations as well as volatility in our working capital, including the possibility of an increase in the days sales outstanding as accounts receivable.

The foregoing risks may have an adverse effect on our overall business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently

35

known to us or that we currently do not consider as significant risks to our operations. This pandemic may also amplify many of the other risks described throughout the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business and results will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the duration and scope of the outbreak, any potential future waves of the pandemic, new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the ongoing and future actions to contain it or treat its impact, among others.

We face risks related to the development and potential distribution of remdesivir as a treatment for COVID-19, which has not been approved by FDA or any other regulatory authority and has not been demonstrated to be safe or effective for any use.

In response to the recent global outbreak of COVID-19, we are pursuing the rapid development and manufacture of the investigational antiviral agent, remdesivir, as a potential treatment for COVID-19. In May 2020, FDA granted emergency use authorization of remdesivir for the treatment of hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 disease based on available data. The authorization is temporary and does not take the place of the formal New Drug Application submission, review and approval process. While there are multiple ongoing clinical trials to evaluate the safety clinical profile and the efficacy of remdesivir, there is no assurance of favorable results from any ongoing or future clinical trials, or that one or more of such trials will be completed in the currently anticipated timelines or at all. It is also possible that FDA and other regulatory authorities may not approve remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19, or that any marketing approvals, if granted, may have significant limitations on its use. Further, we may make a strategic decision to discontinue development of remdesivir, including in the event that other parties are successful in developing a more effective treatment for COVID-19. As a result, we may never successfully commercialize remdesivir. The intense public interest, including speculation by the media, in the development of remdesivir has caused significant volatility in our stock price, which we expect to continue as data and other information from the ongoing clinical trials as well as any regulatory actions become public over the next few months.

We also face risks related to our significant investment in the development, supply, allocation, distribution and pricing of remdesivir. Given the severity and urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have committed significant capital and resources to fund and supply clinical trials and to accelerate and scale up the production of remdesivir, which involves a complex manufacturing process that is both resource- and time-sensitive. We incurred approximately $50 million of manufacturing scale-up and clinical trial costs for remdesivir during the first quarter of 2020, and we anticipate accelerating our investments in future quarters. We recently announced that our investment in remdesivir for 2020 could be up to $1 billion or more, although the magnitude of our investment will be subject to clinical data results, the duration of the pandemic and other factors, including regulatory outcomes. If the clinical trials fail to demonstrate the clinical safety profile or the efficacy of remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19, or if we are unable to obtain regulatory approvals, or if we make a strategic decision to discontinue development of remdesivir, we will be unable to recoup our significant expenses incurred to date and in the future related to the development and production of remdesivir. To the extent the clinical trials are successful and remdesivir is approved for the treatment of COVID-19, we are likely to face challenges related to the allocation of existing and future supply of remdesivir, particularly with respect to geographic distribution. If we are unable to sufficiently scale up the production of remdesivir, we may be unable to meet global supply needs in the future. As a result of the emergency situations in many countries, there is a heightened risk that remdesivir may be subject to adverse governmental actions in certain countries, including intellectual property expropriation, compulsory licenses, strict price controls or other actions. Such governmental actions may limit our ability to recoup our significant current and future expenses. Further, given that COVID-19 has been designated as a pandemic and represents an urgent public health crisis, we are likely to face significant public attention and scrutiny about any future business models and pricing decisions with respect to remdesivir. If we are unable to successfully manage these risks, we could face significant reputational harm, which could negatively affect our stock price.

Our inability to accurately predict demand for our products and fluctuations in purchasing patterns or wholesaler inventories makes it difficult for us to accurately forecast sales and may cause our forecasted revenues and earnings to fluctuate, which could adversely affect our financial results and stock price.

We may be unable to accurately predict demand for our products, including the uptake of new products, as demand depends on a number of factors. For example, the non-retail sector in the United States, which includes government institutions, including state AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, correctional facilities and large health maintenance organizations, tends to be less consistent in terms of buying patterns and often causes quarter-over-quarter fluctuations that do not necessarily mirror patient demand for our products. Federal and state budget pressures, as well as the annual grant cycles for federal and state funds, may cause purchasing patterns to not reflect patient demand for our products. We expect to continue to experience fluctuations in the purchasing patterns of our non-retail customers, which may result in fluctuations in our product sales, revenues and earnings in the future. In light of the budget crises faced by many European countries, we have observed variations in purchasing patterns induced by cost containment measures in Europe. We believe these measures have caused some government agencies and other purchasers to reduce inventory of our products in the distribution channels, which has decreased our revenues and caused fluctuations in our product sales and earnings. We may continue to see this trend in the future.

36

We sell and distribute most of our products in the United States exclusively through the wholesale channel. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, approximately 89% of our product sales in the United States were to three wholesalers, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc. and McKesson Corporation. The U.S. wholesalers with whom we have entered into inventory management agreements make estimates to determine end user demand and may not be completely effective in matching their inventory levels to actual end user demand. As a result, changes in inventory levels held by those wholesalers can cause our operating results to fluctuate unexpectedly if our sales to these wholesalers do not match end user demand. In addition, inventory is held at retail pharmacies and other non-wholesaler locations with whom we have no inventory management agreements and no control over buying patterns. Adverse changes in economic conditions, increased competition or other factors may cause retail pharmacies to reduce their inventories of our products, which would reduce their orders from wholesalers and, consequently, the wholesalers’ orders from us, even if end user demand has not changed. In addition, we have observed that strong wholesaler and sub-wholesaler purchases of our products in the fourth quarter typically results in inventory draw-down by wholesalers and sub-wholesalers in the subsequent first quarter. As inventory in the distribution channel fluctuates from quarter to quarter, we may continue to see fluctuations in our earnings and a mismatch between prescription demand for our products and our revenues.

We face significant competition.

We face significant competition from global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, specialized pharmaceutical firms and generic drug manufacturers. Our products compete with other available products based primarily on efficacy, safety, tolerability, acceptance by doctors, ease of patient compliance, ease of use, price, insurance and other reimbursement coverage, distribution and marketing.

Our TAF-containing HIV products compete primarily with products from ViiV Healthcare Company (ViiV). We also face competition from generic HIV products. Generic versions of efavirenz, a component of Atripla, are available in the United States, Canada and Europe. We have observed some pricing pressure related to the efavirenz component of our Atripla sales. TDF, one of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in Truvada, Atripla, Complera/Eviplera and Stribild, faces generic competition in the European Union, the United States and certain other countries. In addition, because FTC, the other active pharmaceutical ingredient of Truvada, faces generic competition in the European Union, Truvada also faces generic competition in the European Union and certain other countries outside of the United States. Pursuant to a settlement agreement relating to patents that protect Truvada and Atripla, Teva Pharmaceuticals is permitted to launch generic fixed-dose combinations of FTC and TDF and generic fixed-dose combinations of FTC, TDF and efavirenz in the United States on September 30, 2020.

Our HCV products compete primarily with products marketed by AbbVie Inc. and Merck & Co., Inc.

Our hepatitis B virus (HBV) products face competition from existing therapies for treating patients with HBV as well as generic versions of TDF. Our HBV products also compete with products marketed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (Novartis).

Yescarta competes with a CAR T cell therapy marketed by Novartis and a non-CAR T product marketed by Roche and is expected to compete with products from other companies developing advanced T cell therapies. Yescarta and other commercial products also face competition from certain clinical trials that are enrolling CAR T eligible patients.

In addition, a number of companies are pursuing the development of technologies which are competitive with our existing products or research programs. These competing companies include specialized pharmaceutical firms and large pharmaceutical companies acting either independently or together with other pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private organizations conducting research may seek patent protection and may establish collaborative arrangements for competitive products or programs. If any of these competitors gain market share as a result of new technologies, commercialization strategies or otherwise, it could adversely affect our results of operations and stock price.

We may be required to pay significant damages and royalty payments as a result of ongoing litigation related to Yescarta and Biktarvy.

Adverse outcomes in ongoing litigation related to our Yescarta and Biktarvy products could require us to pay significant monetary damages and royalty payments for past and future sales. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these litigation matters, but the timing and magnitude of any such payments could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

In October 2017, Juno Therapeutics, Inc. and Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (collectively, Juno) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging that the commercialization of axicabtagene ciloleucel, sold commercially as Yescarta, infringes on U.S. Patent No. 7,446,190 (the ‘190 patent). A jury trial was held on the ‘190 patent, and in December 2019, the jury found that the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent were valid, and that we willfully infringed the asserted claims of the ‘190 patent. The jury also awarded Juno damages in amounts of $585 million in an up-front payment and a 27.6% running royalty from October 2017 through the date of the jury’s verdict. The parties filed post-trial motions in the first quarter of 2020, and the trial judge entered a judgment in April 2020. The trial judge affirmed the jury’s verdict, enhanced the past damages by 50% and maintained the royalties on future Yescarta sales at 27.6%.

37

If the judgment is reversed on appeal, the loss will be zero, If the judgment is upheld in its entirety on appeal, we estimate a loss through the first quarter of 2020 to be approximately $1.2 billion, which consists of (i) approximately $811 million, which represents damages on Yescarta revenues through December 12, 2019, and prejudgment interest thereon, (ii) approximately $389 million, which represents a 50% enhancement of past damages and (iii) approximately $45 million for royalties and prejudgment interest on Yescarta revenues from December 13, 2019 to March 31, 2020. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of this litigation, we believe the jury’s verdict and the judgment to be in error. We plan to file an appeal in the second quarter of 2020, seeking to reverse the judgment or obtain a new trial due to errors made by the trial judge. If the judgment is upheld on appeal, the amount we could be required to pay to Juno could be significant, and such payment could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

In February 2018, ViiV filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, alleging that the commercialization of bictegravir, sold commercially in combination with TAF and FTC as Biktarvy, infringes on ViiV’s U.S. Patent No. 8,129,385 (the ‘385 patent), covering ViiV’s dolutegravir. Bictegravir is structurally different from dolutegravir, and we believe that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of the ‘385 patent. To the extent that ViiV’s patent claims are interpreted to cover bictegravir, we believe those claims are invalid. The court has set a trial date of September 2020 for this lawsuit. For more information about this litigation, as well as related litigation in countries outside of the United States, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of this litigation, an adverse judgment could result in significant monetary damages and royalty payments on past and future sales, which could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

Our results of operations may be adversely affected by current and potential future healthcare legislative and regulatory actions.

Legislative and regulatory actions affecting government prescription drug procurement and reimbursement programs occur relatively frequently. In the United States, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted in 2010 to expand healthcare coverage. Since then, numerous efforts have been made to repeal, amend or administratively limit the ACA in whole or in part. For example, in December 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held that the individual health insurance mandate in the ACA is unconstitutional and remanded the case back to the district court to determine whether the other provisions of the ACA can stand without the individual health insurance mandate. The ongoing challenges to the ACA and new legislative proposals have resulted in uncertainty regarding the ACA’s future viability and destabilization of the health insurance market. The resulting impact on our business is uncertain and could be material.

Efforts to control prescription drug prices could also have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, in 2018, President Trump and the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the “American Patients First Blueprint” and have begun implementing certain portions. The initiative includes proposals to increase generic drug and biosimilar competition, enable the Medicare program to negotiate drug prices more directly, improve transparency regarding drug prices and lower consumers’ out-of-pocket costs. The Trump administration also proposed to establish an “international pricing index” that would be used as a benchmark to determine the costs and potentially limit the reimbursement of drugs under Medicare Part B. In addition, in December 2019, FDA issued a proposal to implement two pathways for the legal importation of certain prescription drugs from Canada and prescription drugs that are FDA-approved, manufactured abroad, authorized for sale in a foreign country and originally intended for sale in that foreign country. Among other pharmaceutical manufacturer industry-related proposals, Congress has proposed bills to change the Medicare Part D benefit to impose an inflation-based rebate in Medicare Part D and to alter the benefit structure to increase manufacturer contributions in some or all benefit phases. The volume of drug pricing-related bills has dramatically increased under the current Congress, and the resulting impact on our business is uncertain and could be material.

In addition, a majority of states have enacted legislation that seeks to indirectly or directly regulate pharmaceutical drug pricing, such as by requiring biopharmaceutical manufacturers to publicly report proprietary pricing information or creating review boards for recommending price caps or other means for controlling prices of pharmaceutical products purchased by state agencies. For example, in 2017, California’s governor signed a prescription drug price transparency state bill into law, requiring prescription drug manufacturers to provide advance notice and explanation for price increases of certain drugs that exceed a specified threshold. Many other states have proposed or enacted similar legislation. In addition, many state legislatures are considering, or have already passed, various bills that would reform drug purchasing and price negotiations, facilitate the import of lower-priced drugs from outside the United States, and encourage the use of generic drugs. Such initiatives and legislation may cause added pricing pressures on our products.

Changes to the Medicaid program at the federal or state level could also have a material adverse effect on our business. Proposals that could impact coverage and reimbursement of our products, including giving states more flexibility to manage drugs covered under the Medicaid program, could have a material adverse effect by limiting our products’ use and coverage. Furthermore, state Medicaid programs could request additional supplemental rebates on our products for many reasons. To the extent that private insurers or managed care programs follow Medicaid coverage and payment developments, they could use the enactment of these

38

increased rebates to exert pricing pressure on our products, and the adverse effects may be magnified by their adoption of lower payment schedules.

Other proposed regulatory actions affecting manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on our business. It is difficult to predict the impact, if any, of any such proposed legislative and regulatory actions or resulting state actions on the use and reimbursement of our products in the United States, but such actions may adversely affect our results of operations.

Many countries outside the United States, including the European Union (EU) Member States, have established complex and lengthy procedures to obtain price approvals, coverage and reimbursement. Many EU Member States review periodically their decisions concerning the pricing and reimbursement of medicinal products. The outcome of this review cannot be predicted and could have an adverse effect on the pricing and reimbursement of our medicinal products in the EU Member States. Reductions in the pricing of our medicinal products in one EU Member State could affect the price in other EU Member States and have a negative impact on our financial results.

Our existing products are subject to reimbursement from government agencies and other third parties, and we may be required to provide rebates and other discounts on our products, which may result in an adjustment to our product revenues. Pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement pressures may adversely affect our profitability and our results of operations.

Successful commercialization of our products depends, in part, on the availability of governmental and third-party payer reimbursement for the cost of such products and related treatments in the markets where we sell our products. Government health authorities, private health insurers and other organizations generally provide reimbursement. In the United States, the European Union and other significant or potentially significant markets for our products and product candidates, government authorities and third-party payers are increasingly attempting to limit or regulate the price of medical products and services. A substantial portion of our product sales is subject to significant discounts from list price, including rebates that we may be required to pay certain governmental agencies. In addition, standard reimbursement structures may not adequately reimburse for innovative therapies.

For example, for fiscal year 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has established Medicare inpatient reimbursement for Yescarta that includes payment for a severity adjusted diagnosis related group (DRG) 016, a new technology add-on payment (NTAP) for Yescarta that at most will cover 65% of the cost of Yescarta and may cover less than that, and, in some cases, an outlier payment. Taken together, the total payment may not be sufficient to reimburse hospitals for their cost of care for patients receiving Yescarta. CMS also has not made a decision as to how much it will pay for Yescarta in fiscal year 2021 and beyond. If Medicare does not adequately reimburse for the cost of Yescarta, this could impact the willingness of some hospitals to offer the therapy and of doctors to recommend the therapy and could lessen the attractiveness of our therapy to patients, which could have an adverse effect on sales of Yescarta and on our results of operations. Additionally, in the European Union, there are barriers to reimbursement in individual countries that could limit the uptake of Yescarta.

In addition, we estimate the rebates we will be required to pay in connection with sales during a particular quarter based on claims data from prior quarters. In the United States, actual rebate claims are typically made by payers one to three quarters in arrears. Actual claims and payments may vary significantly from our estimates which can cause an adjustment to our product revenues. To the extent our actual or anticipated product revenues fall short of investors’ expectations, our stock price could be adversely impacted.

For more information concerning the EU pricing and reimbursement regime, please see “Our results of operations may be adversely affected by current and potential future healthcare legislative and regulatory actions.”

Laws and regulations applicable to the health care industry could impose new obligations on us, require us to change our business practices and restrict our operations in the future.

The health care industry is subject to various federal, state and international laws and regulations pertaining to drug reimbursement, rebates, price reporting, health care fraud and abuse, and data privacy and security. In the United States, these laws include anti-kickback and false claims laws, laws and regulations relating to the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other federal and state programs, the Medicaid Rebate Statute, individual state laws relating to pricing and sales and marketing practices, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other federal and state laws relating to the privacy and security of health information.

Violations of these laws or any related regulations may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including, in some instances, substantial fines, civil monetary penalties, exclusion from participation in federal and state health care programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Administration health programs, and federal employee health benefit programs, actions against executives overseeing our business and significant remediation measures. In addition, these laws and regulations are broad in scope and they are subject to change and evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or to alter one or more of our sales or marketing practices. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could also result in negative publicity or other consequences that could harm our reputation, disrupt our business or adversely affect our results of operations. If any or all of these events occur, our business and stock price could be materially and adversely affected.

39

There continues to be enhanced scrutiny of company-sponsored patient assistance programs, including co-pay assistance programs, and manufacturer donations to third-party charities that provide such assistance. There has also been enhanced scrutiny by governments on reimbursement support offerings, clinical education programs and promotional speaker programs. If we, or our agents and vendors, are deemed to have failed to comply with laws, regulations or government guidance in any of these areas, we could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions. Any similar violations by our competitors could also negatively impact our industry reputation and increase scrutiny over our business and our products.

In addition, government price reporting and payment regulations are complex and we are continually assessing the methods by which we calculate and report pricing in accordance with these obligations. Our methodologies for calculations are inherently subjective and may be subject to review and challenge by various government agencies, which may disagree with our interpretation. If the government disagrees with our reported calculations, we may need to restate previously reported data and could be subject to additional financial and legal liability as described above.

For a description of our government investigations and related litigation, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Yescarta, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us, which may impact our ability to increase sales of Yescarta.

Yescarta, a CAR T cell therapy, involves (i) harvesting T cells from the patient’s blood, (ii) engineering T cells to express cancer-specific receptors, (iii) increasing the number of engineered T cells and (iv) infusing the functional cancer-specific T cells back into the patient. Advancing this novel and personalized therapy creates significant challenges, including:

• educating and certifying medical personnel regarding the procedures and the potential side effect profile of our therapy, such as the potential adverse side effects related to cytokine release syndrome and neurologic toxicities, in compliance with the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy program required by FDA for Yescarta;

• using medicines to manage adverse side effects of our therapy, such as tocilizumab and corticosteroids, which may not be available in sufficient quantities, may not adequately control the side effects and/or may have a detrimental impact on the efficacy of the treatment;

• developing a robust and reliable process, while limiting contamination risks, for engineering a patient’s T cells ex vivo and infusing the engineered T cells back into the patient; and

• conditioning patients with chemotherapy in advance of administering our therapy, which may increase the risk of adverse side effects.

The use of engineered T cells as a potential cancer treatment is a recent development and may not be broadly accepted by physicians, patients, hospitals, cancer treatment centers, payers and others in the medical community. We may not be able to demonstrate to the medical community and payers the potential advantages of Yescarta compared to existing and future therapeutics. For challenges related to the reimbursement of Yescarta, see also “Our existing products are subject to reimbursement from government agencies and other third parties, and we may be required to provide rebates and other discounts on our products, which may result in an adjustment to our product revenues. Pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement pressures may adversely affect our profitability and our results of operations.” If we fail to overcome these significant challenges, our sales of Yescarta, results of operations and stock price could be adversely affected.

We have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, business acquisitions, licensing arrangements, collaborations, disposals of our assets and other strategic transactions, which could cause us to incur significant expenses and could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, business acquisitions, such as our recent acquisition of Forty Seven, Inc., licensing arrangements, collaborations, disposals of our assets and other transactions, as part of our business strategy. We may not identify suitable transactions in the future and, if we do, we may not complete such transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, and may not realize the expected benefits. For example, if we are successful in making an acquisition, the products and technologies that are acquired may not be successful or may require significantly greater resources and investments than originally anticipated. We also may not be able to integrate acquisitions successfully into our existing business and could incur or assume significant debt and unknown or contingent liabilities. We have also acquired, and may in the future acquire, equity investments in our strategic transactions, such as in connection with our collaboration with Galapagos NV, and the value of our equity investments may fluctuate and decline in value. Further, we conduct annual impairment testing of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter, and earlier if impairment indicators exist, as required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which may result in impairment charges. For example, during the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018, we recognized $800 million and $820 million, respectively, of impairment charges related to indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Kite Pharma, Inc. If we fail to overcome these risks, it could cause us to incur significant expenses and negatively affect profitability, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations. We could also experience negative effects on our reported results of operations from acquisition or disposition-related charges, amortization

40

of expenses related to intangibles and charges for impairment of long-term assets.

We face risks associated with our global operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our global operations are accompanied by certain financial, political, economic and other risks, including those listed below:

• Foreign Currency Exchange: For the three months ended March 31, 2020, approximately 27% of our product sales were outside the United States. Because a significant percentage of our product sales is denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Overall, we are a net receiver of foreign currencies, and therefore, we benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar. While we use foreign currency exchange forward or option contracts or both to hedge a percentage of our forecasted international sales, our hedging program does not eliminate our exposure to currency fluctuations. We cannot predict future fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates of the U.S. dollar. If the U.S. dollar appreciates significantly against certain currencies and our hedging program does not sufficiently offset the effects of such appreciation, our results of operations will be adversely affected and our stock price may decline.

• Anti-Bribery: We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws that govern our international operations with respect to payments to government officials. Our international operations are heavily regulated and require significant interaction with foreign officials. Though our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws, we operate in parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree. In certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices or may require us to interact with doctors and hospitals, some of which may be state controlled, in a manner that is different than local custom. It is possible that certain of our practices may be challenged under these laws. In addition, despite our training and compliance program, our internal control policies and procedures may not protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees and agents. Enforcement activities under anti-bribery laws could subject us to administrative and legal proceedings and actions, which could result in civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties and exclusion from health care programs.

• Other risks inherent in conducting a global business include:

◦ Our international operations, including the use of third-party manufacturers, distributors and collaboration arrangements outside the United States, expose us to increased risk of theft of our intellectual property and other proprietary technology, particularly in jurisdictions with less robust intellectual property protections than the United States, as well as restrictive government actions against our intellectual property and other foreign assets such as nationalization, expropriation or the imposition of compulsory licenses.

◦ We may be subject to protective economic policies taken by foreign governments, such as trade protection measures and import and export licensing requirements, which may result in the imposition of trade sanctions or similar restrictions by the United States or other governments.

◦ Our worldwide operations, third-party manufacturers or corporate partners could be subject to business interruptions stemming from natural or man-made disasters, such as climate change, earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, fires or actual or threatened public health emergencies, or efforts taken by third parties to prevent or mitigate such disasters, such as public safety power shutoffs and facility shutdowns, for which we or they may be uninsured or inadequately insured. For example, our corporate headquarters in Foster City and certain R&D and manufacturing facilities are located in California, a seismically active region. As we may not carry adequate earthquake insurance and significant recovery time could be required to resume operations, our financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected in the event of a major earthquake.

◦ Our operations may also be adversely affected if there is political instability or disruption in a geographic region where we operate, regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, social unrest and political changes. For example, on January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom (UK) withdrew from the EU, which initiated a transition period during which the UK and EU will negotiate their future relationship. There is uncertainty concerning any changes in the laws and regulations governing the conduct of clinical trials and marketing of medicinal products in the UK following the country’s exit from the EU. This uncertainty may lead to significant complexity and risks for our company and our ability to research, develop and market medicinal products in the EU and the UK.

If we were to encounter any of these risks, our global operations may be adversely affected, which could have an adverse effect on our overall business and results of operations.

If significant safety issues arise for our marketed products or our product candidates, our reputation may be harmed and our future sales may be reduced, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

The data supporting the marketing approvals for our products and forming the basis for the safety warnings in our product labels were obtained in controlled clinical trials of limited duration and, in some cases, from post-approval use. As our products

41

are used over longer periods of time by patients with underlying health problems or other medicines, we expect to continue finding new issues related to safety, resistance or drug interactions. Any such issues may require changes to our product labels, such as additional warnings, contraindications or even narrowed indications. If any of these were to occur, it could reduce the market acceptance and sales of our products.

Regulatory authorities have been moving towards more active and transparent pharmacovigilance and are making greater amounts of stand-alone safety information and clinical trial data directly available to the public through websites and other means, such as periodic safety update report summaries, risk management plan summaries and various adverse event data. Safety information, without the appropriate context and expertise, may be misinterpreted and lead to misperception or legal action which may potentially cause our product sales or stock price to decline.

Further, if serious safety, resistance or drug interaction issues arise with our marketed products, sales of these products could be limited or halted by us or by regulatory authorities and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our operations depend on compliance with complex FDA and comparable international regulations. Failure to obtain broad approvals on a timely basis or to maintain compliance could delay or halt commercialization of our products.

The products we develop must be approved for marketing and sale by regulatory authorities and, once approved, are subject to extensive regulation by FDA, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and comparable regulatory agencies in other countries. We are continuing clinical trials for many of our products for currently approved and additional uses. We anticipate that we will file for marketing approval in additional countries and for additional indications and products over the next several years. These products may fail to receive such marketing approvals on a timely basis, or at all.

Further, how we manufacture and sell our products is subject to extensive regulation and review. Discovery of previously unknown problems with our marketed products or problems with our manufacturing, safety reporting or promotional activities may result in restrictions on our products, including withdrawal of the products from the market. If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, including those related to promotion and manufacturing, we could be subject to penalties including fines, suspensions of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products and criminal prosecution.

For example, under FDA rules, we are often required to conduct post-approval clinical studies to assess a known serious risk, signals of serious risk or to identify an unexpected serious risk. In certain circumstances, we may be required to implement a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy program for our products, which could include a medication guide, patient package insert, a communication plan to healthcare providers, restrictions on distribution or use of a product and other elements FDA deems necessary to assure safe use of the drug. Failure to comply with these or other requirements imposed by FDA could result in significant civil monetary penalties and our operating results may be adversely affected.

We face risks in our clinical trials, including the potential for unfavorable results, delays in anticipated timelines and disruption, which may adversely affect our prospects for future revenue growth and our results of operations.

We are required to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of products that we develop for each intended use through extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials. The results from preclinical and early clinical studies do not always accurately predict results in later, large-scale clinical trials. Even successfully completed large-scale clinical trials may not result in marketable products. If any of our product candidates fails to achieve its primary endpoint in clinical trials, if safety issues arise or if the results from our clinical trials are otherwise inadequate to support regulatory approval of our product candidates, commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or halted. In addition, we may also face challenges in clinical trial protocol design.

If the clinical trials for any of the product candidates in our pipeline are delayed or terminated, our prospects for future revenue growth and our results of operations may be adversely impacted. For example, we face numerous risks and uncertainties with our product candidates, including remdesivir for the treatment of COVID-19; filgotinib for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and psoriatic arthritis; GLPG-1690 for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; cilofexor for the treatment of primary sclerosing cholangitis; and axicabtagene ciloleucel for the treatment of second line diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, each currently in Phase 3 clinical trials, that could prevent completion of development of these product candidates. These risks include our ability to enroll patients in clinical trials, the possibility of unfavorable results of our clinical trials, the need to modify or delay our clinical trials or to perform additional trials and the risk of failing to obtain FDA and other regulatory body approvals. As a result, our product candidates may never be successfully commercialized. Further, we may make a strategic decision to discontinue development of our product candidates if, for example, we believe commercialization will be difficult relative to other opportunities in our pipeline. If these programs and others in our pipeline cannot be completed on a timely basis or at all, then our prospects for future revenue growth and our results of operations may be adversely impacted. In addition, clinical trials involving our commercial products could raise new safety issues for our existing products, which could in turn adversely affect our results of operations and harm our business.

In addition, we extensively outsource our clinical trial activities and usually perform only a small portion of the start-up activities in-house. We rely on independent third-party contract research organizations (CROs) to perform most of our clinical studies, including document preparation, site identification, screening and preparation, pre-study visits, training, program

42

management, patient enrollment, ongoing monitoring, site management and bioanalytical analysis. Many important aspects of the services performed for us by the CROs are out of our direct control. If there is any dispute or disruption in our relationship with our CROs, our clinical trials may be delayed. Moreover, in our regulatory submissions, we rely on the quality and validity of the clinical work performed by third-party CROs. If any of our CROs’ processes, methodologies or results were determined to be invalid or inadequate, our own clinical data and results and related regulatory approvals may be adversely affected.

We depend on relationships with third parties for sales and marketing performance, technology, development, logistics and commercialization of products. Failure to maintain these relationships, poor performance by these companies or disputes with these third parties could negatively impact our business.

We rely on a number of collaborative relationships with third parties for our sales and marketing performance in certain territories. For example, we have collaboration arrangements with Janssen Sciences Ireland UC for Odefsey, Complera/Eviplera and Symtuza. In some countries, we rely on international distributors for sales of certain of our products. Some of these relationships also involve the clinical development of these products by our partners. Reliance on collaborative relationships poses a number of risks, including the risk that:

• we are unable to control the resources our corporate partners devote to our programs or products;

• disputes may arise with respect to the ownership of rights to technology developed with our corporate partners;

• disagreements with our corporate partners could cause delays in, or termination of, the research, development or commercialization of product candidates or result in litigation or arbitration;

• contracts with our corporate partners may fail to provide significant protection or may fail to be effectively enforced if one of these partners fails to perform;

• our corporate partners have considerable discretion in electing whether to pursue the development of any additional products and may pursue alternative technologies or products either on their own or in collaboration with our competitors;

• our corporate partners with marketing rights may choose to pursue competing technologies or to devote fewer resources to the marketing of our products than they do to products of their own development; and

• our distributors and our corporate partners may be unable to pay us.

Given these risks, there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the success of our current and future collaborative efforts. If these efforts fail, our product development or commercialization of new products could be delayed or revenues from products could decline.

For Yescarta, we rely on third-party sites to collect patients’ white blood cells, known as apheresis centers, shippers, couriers, and hospitals for the logistical collection of patients’ white blood cells and ultimate delivery of Yescarta to patients. Any disruption or difficulties encountered by any of these vendors could result in product loss and regulatory action and harm our Yescarta business and our reputation. To ensure that any apheresis center is prepared to ship cells to our manufacturing facilities, we conduct quality certifications of each apheresis center. However, apheresis centers may choose not to participate in the certification process or we may be unable to complete certification in a timely manner or at all, which could delay or restrain our manufacturing and commercialization efforts. As a result, our sales of Yescarta may be limited, and our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to defend our patents and other intellectual property rights both domestically and internationally. We may not be able to obtain effective patents to protect our technologies from use by competitors.

Patents and other proprietary rights are very important to our business. As part of our business strategy, we actively seek patent protection both in the United States and internationally and file additional patent applications, when appropriate, to cover improvements in our compounds, products and technology. Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to:

• obtain patents and licenses to patent rights;

• preserve trade secrets and internal know-how;

• defend against infringement of our patents and efforts to invalidate them; and

• operate without infringing on the intellectual property of others.

Since patent applications are confidential for a period of time before a patent is issued, we may not know if our competitors filed patent applications for technology covered by our pending applications or if we were the first to invent or first to file an application directed toward the technology that is the subject of our patent applications. If competitors file patent applications covering our technology, we may have to participate in litigation, post-grant proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or other proceedings to determine the right to a patent or validity of any patent granted. Such litigation and proceedings are unpredictable and expensive, and could divert management attention from other operations, such that, even if we are ultimately successful, our results of operations may be adversely affected by such events.

43

Generic manufacturers have sought, and may continue to seek, FDA approval to market generic versions of our products through an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA), the application process typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug. For a description of our ANDA litigation, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The entry of generic versions of our products has, and may in the future, lead to market share and price erosion and have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

Our success depends in large part on our ability to operate without infringing upon the patents or other proprietary rights of third parties.

If we are found to infringe the valid patents of third parties, we may be required to pay significant monetary damages or we may be prevented from commercializing products or may be required to obtain licenses from these third parties. We may not be able to obtain alternative technologies or any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain these licenses or alternative technologies, we may be unable to develop or commercialize some or all of our products. For example, we are aware of patents and patent applications owned by third parties that such parties may claim cover the use of sofosbuvir, axicabtagene ciloleucel or bictegravir. See “We may be required to pay significant damages and royalty payments as a result of ongoing litigation related to Yescarta and Biktarvy.” See also a description of our litigation regarding sofosbuvir, axicabtagene ciloleucel, bictegravir, and TDF or TAF in combination with FTC for the use of pre-exposure prophylaxis in Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Furthermore, we also rely on unpatented trade secrets and improvements, unpatented internal know-how and technological innovation. For example, a great deal of our liposomal manufacturing expertise, which is a key component of our liposomal technology, is not covered by patents but is instead protected as a trade secret. We protect these rights mainly through confidentiality agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants and vendors. We cannot be certain that these parties will comply with these confidentiality agreements, that we have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets, internal know-how or technological innovation will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors. Under some of our R&D agreements, inventions become jointly owned by us and our corporate partner and in other cases become the exclusive property of one party. In certain circumstances, it can be difficult to determine who owns a particular invention and disputes could arise regarding those inventions. If our trade secrets, internal know-how, technological innovation or confidential information become known or independently discovered by competitors or if we enter into disputes over ownership of inventions, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Manufacturing problems, including at our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners, could cause inventory shortages and delay product shipments and regulatory approvals, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

In order to generate revenue from our products, we must be able to produce sufficient quantities of our products to satisfy demand. Many of our products are the result of complex manufacturing processes. The manufacturing process for pharmaceutical products is also highly regulated and regulators may shut down manufacturing facilities that they believe do not comply with regulations.

Our products are either manufactured at our own facilities or by third-party manufacturers or corporate partners. We depend on third parties to perform manufacturing activities effectively and on a timely basis for the majority of our solid dose products. We, our third-party manufacturers and our corporate partners are subject to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), which are extensive regulations governing manufacturing processes, stability testing, record keeping and quality standards as defined by FDA and EMA. Similar regulations are in effect in other jurisdictions.

Our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners are independent entities subject to their own unique operational and financial risks that are out of our control. If we or any of these third-party manufacturers or corporate partners fail to perform as required, this could impair our ability to deliver our products on a timely basis or receive royalties or could cause delays in our clinical trials and applications for regulatory approval. Further, we may have to write off the costs of manufacturing any batch that fails to pass quality inspection or meet regulatory approval. In addition, we, our third-party manufacturers and our corporate partners may only be able to produce some of our products at one or a limited number of facilities and, therefore, have limited manufacturing capacity for certain products, and we may not be able to locate additional or replacement facilities on a reasonable basis or at all. Our sales of such products could also be adversely impacted by our reliance on such limited number of facilities. To the extent these risks materialize and affect their performance obligations to us, our financial results may be adversely affected.

Our manufacturing operations are subject to routine inspections by regulatory agencies. If we are unable to remedy any deficiencies cited by FDA in these inspections, our currently marketed products and the timing of regulatory approval of products in development could be adversely affected. Further, there is risk that regulatory agencies in other countries where marketing applications are pending will undertake similar additional reviews or apply a heightened standard of review, which could delay the regulatory approvals for products in those countries. If approval of any of our product candidates were delayed or if production of our marketed products were interrupted, our anticipated revenues and our stock price may be adversely affected.

44

We may not be able to obtain materials or supplies necessary to conduct clinical trials or to manufacture and sell our products, which could limit our ability to generate revenues.

We need access to certain supplies and products to conduct our clinical trials and to manufacture and sell our products. If we are unable to purchase sufficient quantities of these materials or find suitable alternative materials in a timely manner, our development efforts for our product candidates may be delayed or our ability to manufacture our products could be limited, which could limit our ability to generate revenues.

Suppliers of key components and materials must be named in the new drug application or marketing authorization application filed with the regulatory authority for any product candidate for which we are seeking marketing approval, and significant delays can occur if the qualification of a new supplier is required. Even after a manufacturer is qualified by the regulatory authority, the manufacturer must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to ensure full compliance with GMP. Manufacturers are subject to regular periodic inspections by regulatory authorities following initial approval. If, as a result of these inspections, a regulatory authority determines that the equipment, facilities, laboratories or processes do not comply with applicable regulations and conditions of product approval, the regulatory authority may suspend the manufacturing operations. If the manufacturing operations of any of the single suppliers for our products are suspended, we may be unable to generate sufficient quantities of commercial or clinical supplies of product to meet market demand, which could in turn decrease our revenues and harm our business. In addition, if deliveries of materials from our suppliers were interrupted for any reason, we may be unable to ship certain of our products for commercial supply or to supply our product candidates in development for clinical trials. In addition, some of our products and the materials that we utilize in our operations are manufactured at only one facility, which we may not be able to replace in a timely manner and on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Problems with any of the single suppliers we depend on, including in the event of a disaster, such as an earthquake, equipment failure or other difficulty, may negatively impact our development and commercialization efforts.

A significant portion of the raw materials and intermediates used to manufacture our antiviral products are supplied by third-party manufacturers and corporate partners outside of the United States. As a result, any political or economic factors in a specific country or region, including any changes in or interpretations of trade regulations, compliance requirements or tax legislation, that would limit or prevent third parties outside of the United States from supplying these materials could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and supply our antiviral products to meet market needs and have a material and adverse effect on our operating results.

If we were to encounter any of these difficulties, our ability to conduct clinical trials on product candidates and to manufacture and sell our products could be impaired, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Imports from countries where our products are available at lower prices and unapproved generic or counterfeit versions of our products could have a negative impact on our reputation and business.

Prices for our products are based on local market economics and competition and sometimes differ from country to country. Our sales in countries with relatively higher prices may be reduced if products can be imported and resold into those countries from lower price markets. If our HIV, HBV and HCV products, which we have agreed to make available at substantially reduced prices to certain low- and middle-income countries participating in our Gilead Access to Medicines programs, are re-exported into the United States, Europe or other higher price markets, our revenues could be adversely affected. In addition, we have entered into agreements with generic drug manufacturers as well as licensing agreements with the Medicines Patent Pool, a United Nations-backed public health organization, which allows generic drug manufacturers to manufacture certain generic versions of our products for distribution in certain low- and middle-income countries. If generic versions of our products produced and/or distributed under these agreements are then re-exported to the United States, Europe or other higher price markets, our revenues could be adversely affected.

In the European Union, we are required to permit products purchased in one EU member state to be sold in another EU member state. Purchases of our products in countries where our selling prices are relatively low for resale in countries in which our selling prices are relatively high can affect the inventory level held by our wholesalers and can cause the relative sales levels in the various countries to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and not reflect the actual consumer demand in any given quarter. These quarterly fluctuations may impact our earnings, which could adversely affect our stock price and harm our business.

Additionally, diverted products may be used in countries where they have not been approved and patients may source the diverted products outside the legitimate supply chain. These diverted products may be handled, shipped and stored inappropriately, which may affect the efficacy of the products and could harm patients, our brands or the commercial or scientific reputation of our products.

We are also aware of the existence of various “Buyers Clubs” around the world that promote the personal importation of generic versions of our HCV, HBV and HIV products that have not been approved for use in the countries into which they are imported. As a result, patients may be at risk of taking unapproved medications which may not be what they purport to be, may not have the potency they claim to have or may contain harmful substances. To the extent patients take unapproved generic versions

45

of one or more of our medications and are injured by these generic products, our brands or the commercial or scientific reputation of our HCV, HBV and HIV products could be harmed.

Further, third parties may illegally distribute and sell counterfeit versions of our medicines, which do not meet the rigorous quality standards of our manufacturing and supply chain. We actively take actions to discourage the distribution and sale of counterfeit versions of our medicines around the world, including working with local regulatory and legal authorities to enforce laws against counterfeit medicines, raising public awareness of the dangers of counterfeit medicines and promoting public policies to hinder the sale and availability of counterfeit medicines. Counterfeit medicines pose a serious risk to patient health and safety and may raise the risk of product recalls. Our reputation and business could suffer as a result of counterfeit versions of our medicines identified in the market.

Expensive litigation and government investigations have increased our expenses which may continue to reduce our earnings.

We are involved in a number of litigation, investigation and other dispute-related matters that require us to expend substantial internal and financial resources. We expect these matters will continue to require a high level of internal and financial resources for the foreseeable future. These matters have reduced and will continue to reduce our earnings and require significant management attention. For a description of our litigation, investigations and other dispute-related matters, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See also “We may be required to pay significant damages and royalty payments as a result of ongoing litigation related to Yescarta and Biktarvy.” The outcome of such legal proceedings or any other legal proceedings that may be brought against us, the investigations or any other investigations that may be initiated and any other dispute-related matters, are inherently uncertain, and adverse developments or outcomes can result in significant expenses, monetary damages, penalties or injunctive relief against us that could significantly reduce our earnings and cash flows and harm our business and reputation.

We may face significant liability resulting from our products and such liability could materially reduce our earnings.

The testing, manufacturing, marketing and use of our commercial products, as well as product candidates in development, involve substantial risk of product liability claims. These claims may be made directly by consumers, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies or others. We have limited insurance for product liabilities that may arise. If claims exceed our coverage, our financial condition will be adversely affected. In addition, negative publicity associated with any claims, regardless of their merit, may decrease the future demand for our products and impair our financial condition. For a description of our product liability matters, see Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

If we fail to attract, develop and retain highly qualified personnel, our business and operations may be adversely affected.

Our future success will depend in large part on our continued ability to attract, develop and retain highly qualified scientific, technical and management personnel, as well as personnel with expertise in clinical testing, governmental regulation and commercialization. We face competition for personnel from other companies, universities, public and private research institutions, government entities and other organizations. Competition for qualified personnel in the biopharmaceutical field is intense, and there is a limited pool of qualified potential employees to recruit. We may not be able to attract and retain quality personnel on acceptable terms. Our ability to do so also depends on how well we maintain a strong workplace culture that is attractive to employees, particularly during the leadership transition that we are currently experiencing. Additionally, changes to U.S. immigration and work authorization laws and regulations could make it more difficult for employees to work in or transfer to jurisdictions in which we have operations and could impair our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we are unsuccessful in our recruitment, development and retention efforts or we fail to maintain a strong workplace culture, our business and reputation may be harmed.

We have recently made significant changes to our senior leadership team. In 2019, we appointed Daniel O’Day as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Dickinson as Chief Financial Officer, Johanna Mercier as Chief Commercial Officer, Merdad Parsey as Chief Medical Officer, Brett Pletcher as Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs and General Counsel, Jyoti Mehra as Executive Vice President, Human Resources, and Christi Shaw as Chief Executive Officer of Kite. Changes in management and other key personnel may lead to potential organizational realignments and additional personnel changes, which may disrupt our business and adversely affect our operations.

We are dependent on information technology systems, infrastructure and data, which may be subject to cyberattacks, security breaches and legal claims.

We are dependent upon information technology systems, infrastructure and data, including our Kite Konnect platform, which is critical to ensure chain of identity and chain of custody of Yescarta. The multitude and complexity of our computer systems make them inherently vulnerable to service interruption or destruction, malicious intrusion and random attack. Likewise, data privacy or security breaches by employees or others pose a risk that sensitive data, including our intellectual property or trade secrets or the personal information of our employees, patients, customers or other business partners may be exposed to unauthorized

46

persons or to the public. Cyberattacks are increasing in their frequency, sophistication and intensity. Cyberattacks could include the deployment of harmful malware, denial-of-service, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability and threaten data confidentiality, integrity and availability. Our business and technology partners face similar risks and any security breach of their systems could adversely affect our security posture. While we have invested, and continue to invest, in the protection of our data and information technology infrastructure, there can be no assurance that our efforts, or the efforts of our partners and vendors, will prevent future service interruptions or identify breaches in our systems. Such interruptions or breaches could adversely affect our business and operations and/or cause the loss of critical or sensitive information, including personal information, which could result in financial, legal, business or reputational harm to us. In addition, our insurance may not be sufficient in type or amount to cover the financial, legal, business or reputational losses that may result from an interruption or breach of our systems.

Regulators globally are also imposing new data privacy and security requirements, including new and greater monetary fines for privacy violations. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that became effective in Europe in 2018 established regulations regarding the handling of personal data, and non-compliance with the GDPR may result in monetary penalties of up to four percent of worldwide revenue. In addition, new domestic data privacy and security laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that became effective in January 2020, and others that may be passed, similarly introduce requirements with respect to personal information, and non-compliance with CCPA may result in liability through private actions (subject to statutorily defined damages in the event of certain data breaches) and enforcement. The GDPR, CCPA and other changes, or new laws or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of personal information, including in some cases healthcare data or other personal information, could greatly increase our cost of providing our products and services or even prevent us from offering certain services in jurisdictions in which we operate.

Changes in our effective income tax rate could reduce our earnings.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions including Ireland. Due to economic and political conditions, various countries are actively considering and have made changes to existing tax laws. We cannot predict the form or timing of potential legislative and regulatory changes that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

In addition, significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Various factors may have favorable or unfavorable effects on our income tax rate including, but not limited to, our portion of the non-tax deductible annual branded prescription drug fee, the accounting for stock options and other share-based awards, mergers and acquisitions, future levels of R&D spending, ability to maintain manufacturing and other operational activities in our Irish facilities, changes in the mix of earnings in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate, changes in overall levels of pre-tax earnings, resolution of federal, state and foreign income tax audits. The impact on our income tax provision resulting from the above mentioned factors may be significant and could have a negative impact on our consolidated results of operations.

Our income tax returns are subject to audit by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax years from 2013 to 2015 and by various state and foreign jurisdictions. There are differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations and, as a result, significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions. Resolution of one or more of these exposures in any reporting period could have a material impact on the results of operations for that period.

There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends or repurchase stock.

Our Board of Directors authorized a dividend program under which we intend to pay quarterly dividends of $0.68 per share, subject to quarterly declarations by our Board of Directors. In the first quarter of 2016, our Board of Directors also approved the repurchase of up to $12.0 billion of our common stock (2016 Program), of which $2.1 billion is available for repurchase as of March 31, 2020. In the first quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a new $5.0 billion stock repurchase program (2020 Program), which will commence upon the completion of the 2016 Program. Purchases under the 2020 Program may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Any future declarations, amount and timing of any dividends and/or the amount and timing of such stock repurchases are subject to capital availability and determinations by our Board of Directors that cash dividends and/or stock repurchases are in the best interest of our stockholders and are in compliance with all respective laws and our agreements applicable to the declaration and payment of cash dividends and the repurchase of stock. Our ability to pay dividends and/or repurchase stock will depend upon, among other factors, our cash balances and potential future capital requirements for strategic transactions, including acquisitions, debt service requirements, results of operations, financial condition and other factors beyond our control that our Board of Directors may deem relevant. A reduction in or elimination of our dividend payments, our dividend program and/or stock repurchases could have a negative effect on our stock price.

_________________________________________

⁽¹⁾   In the first quarter of 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a $12.0 billion share repurchase program (2016 Program). Shares purchased during the period were made under the 2016 Program. In January 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a new $5.0 billion stock repurchase program (2020 Program), which will commence upon the completion of the 2016 Program. Share repurchases under both programs may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

⁽²⁾   The difference between the total number of shares purchased and the total number of shares purchased as part of a publicly announced program is due to shares of common stock withheld by us from employee restricted stock awards in order to satisfy applicable tax withholding obligations.
