NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997 1. Summary of significant accounting policies Business Amgen Inc. ("Amgen" or the "Company") is a global biotechnology company that discovers, develops, manufactures and markets human therapeutics based on advances in cellular and molecular biology. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries as well as affiliated companies for which the Company has a controlling financial interest and exercises control over their operations ("majority controlled affiliates"). All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in affiliated companies which are 50% or less owned and where the Company exercises significant influence over operations are accounted for using the equity method. All other equity investments are accounted for under the cost method. The caption "Loss of affiliates, net" includes Amgen's equity in the operating results of affiliated companies and the minority interest others hold in the operating results of Amgen's majority controlled affiliates. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined in a manner which approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories are shown net of applicable reserves and allowances. Inventories consist of the following (in millions): September 30, December 31, 1997 1996 ------ ------- Raw materials ...... $ 15.9 $15.9 Work in process .... 48.6 56.2 Finished goods ..... 46.0 25.3 ------ ----- $110.5 $97.4 ====== ===== Product sales Product sales consist of two products, EPOGEN(R) (Epoetin alfa), NEUPOGEN(R) (Filgrastim). Quarterly NEUPOGEN(R) sales volume in the United States is influenced by a number of factors including underlying demand and 8 wholesaler inventory management practices. Wholesaler inventory reductions tend to reduce domestic NEUPOGEN(R) sales in the first quarter each year. In addition, the discretionary aspects of some cancer chemotherapy administration has had a slight seasonal effect on NEUPOGEN(R) sales. The Company has the exclusive right to sell Epoetin alfa for dialysis, diagnostics and all non-human uses in the United States. The Company sells Epoetin alfa under the brand name EPOGEN(R). Amgen has granted to Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson ("Johnson & Johnson"), a license relating to Epoetin alfa for sales in the United States for all human uses except dialysis and diagnostics. Pursuant to this license, Amgen does not recognize product sales it makes into the exclusive market of Johnson & Johnson and does recognize the product sales made by Johnson & Johnson into Amgen's exclusive market. These sales amounts, and adjustments thereto, are derived from Company shipments and from third-party data on shipments to end users and their usage (see Note 4, "Contingencies - Johnson & Johnson arbitrations"). Foreign currency transactions The Company has a program to manage foreign currency risk. As part of this program, it has purchased foreign currency option and forward contracts to hedge against possible reductions in values of certain anticipated foreign currency cash flows generally over the next 12 months, primarily resulting from its sales in Europe. At September 30, 1997, the Company had option and forward contracts to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. dollars of $49.1 million and $15.2 million, respectively, all having maturities of nine months or less. The option contracts, which have only nominal intrinsic value at the time of purchase, are designated and effective as hedges of anticipated foreign currency transactions for financial reporting purposes, and accordingly, the net gains on such contracts are deferred and will be recognized in the same period as the hedged transactions. The forward contracts do not qualify as hedges for financial reporting purposes, and accordingly, are marked-to-market. Net gains on option contracts (including option contracts for hedged transactions whose occurrence are no longer probable) and changes in market values of forward contracts are reflected in interest and other income. The deferred premiums on option contracts and fair values of forward contracts are included in other current assets. The Company has additional foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposures to foreign currency fluctuations of certain receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. At September 30, 1997, the Company had forward contracts to exchange foreign currencies, primarily Swiss francs, for U.S. dollars of $62.9 million, all having maturities of eight months or less. These contracts are designated and effective as hedges, and accordingly, gains and losses on these forward contracts are recognized in the same period the offsetting gains and losses of hedged assets and liabilities are realized and recognized. The fair values of the forward contracts are included in the corresponding captions of the hedged assets and liabilities. Gains and losses on forward 9 contracts, to the extent they differ in amount from the hedged receivables and payables, are included in interest and other income. Income taxes Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109 (Note 3). Stock option and purchase plans The Company's stock options and purchase plans are accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". Earnings per share Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents during the period in which they were outstanding. Common stock equivalents are outstanding options under the Company's stock option plans which are included in the earnings per share computation under the treasury stock method. Put warrants on the Company's common stock may also be dilutive and included in earnings per share under the reverse treasury stock method. In February 1997, SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" was issued and is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements, primary and fully diluted earnings per share will be replaced with basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effect of stock options and will therefore be higher than primary earnings per share. Basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $.32 and $1.75, respectively. Basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $.68 and $1.89, respectively. Diluted earnings per share under the new standard is expected to be essentially the same as primary earnings per share amounts calculated under principles currently used. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Basis of presentation The financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for these periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year. 10 Reclassification Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 2. Debt During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repaid $118.2 million of maturing debt consisting of $68.2 million of promissory notes and $50 million of debt securities. Long-term debt consists of the following (in millions): September 30, December 31, 1997 1996 -------- -------- Debt securities ........... $159.0 $109.0 Promissory notes .......... - 68.2 ------ ------ 159.0 177.2 Less current portion ...... (30.0) (118.2) ------ ------ $129.0 $ 59.0 ====== ====== At September 30, 1997, the Company had $159 million of unsecured debt outstanding. Of this total, $100 million are debt securities which bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.1% and mature on April 1, 2097. These debt securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at the Company's option at any time for a redemption price equal to the greater of the principal amount to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the principal and remaining interest payments discounted at a determined rate plus, in each case, accrued interest. These securities place limitations on liens and sale/leaseback transactions. The remaining $59 million of debt securities bear interest at fixed rates averaging 5.8% and mature in approximately one to six years. At September 30, 1997, $150 million was available under the Company's line of credit for borrowing and to support the Company's commercial paper program. No borrowings on this line of credit were outstanding at September 30, 1997. 11 3. Income taxes The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------ ------ ------ ------ Federal(including U.S. possessions)... $8.2 $64.9 $145.6 $195.0 State ................ (3.7) 4.9 6.8 18.3 ---- ----- ------ ------ $4.5 $69.8 $152.4 $213.3 ==== ===== ====== ====== The decrease in the effective tax rate in the current year is primarily the result of reduced pretax income due to the legal assessment recorded in the third quarter of 1997 (see Note 4, "Contingencies - Johnson & Johnson arbitrations") without a corresponding reduction in tax benefits related to Puerto Rican operations. The current year tax rate also benefited from the extension of the federal research and experimentation tax credit enacted during the third quarter of 1997. Tax rates have been reduced during the last five quarters due to a favorable ruling received in the third quarter of 1996 from the Puerto Rican government with respect to tollgate taxes applicable to earnings in Puerto Rico. 4. Contingencies Johnson & Johnson arbitrations In September 1985, the Company granted Johnson & Johnson a license relating to certain patented technology and know-how of the Company to sell a genetically engineered form of recombinant human erythropoietin, called Epoetin alfa, throughout the United States for all human uses except dialysis and diagnostics. Johnson & Johnson sells Epoetin alfa under the brand name PROCRIT(R). A number of disputes have arisen between Amgen and Johnson & Johnson as to their respective rights and obligations under the various agreements between them, including the agreement granting the license (the "License Agreement"). A dispute between Amgen and Johnson & Johnson that is the subject of a current arbitration proceeding relates to the audit methodology currently employed by the Company for Epoetin alfa sales. The Company and Johnson & Johnson are required to compensate each other for Epoetin alfa sales which either party makes into the other party's exclusive market. The Company has established and is employing an audit methodology to assign the proceeds of sales of EPOGEN(R) and PROCRIT in the Company's and Johnson & Johnson's respective exclusive markets. In March 1996, an arbitration hearing commenced regarding the audit methodologies and compensation for sales by Johnson & Johnson into the Company's exclusive market 12 (dialysis) and sales by the Company into Johnson & Johnson's exclusive market (non-dialysis). Spillover occurs when a hospital or other purchaser buys one brand for use in both dialysis and non- dialysis. On September 12, 1997, the arbitrator in this matter (the "Arbitrator") issued an opinion adopting the Company's audit methodology. For the free standing dialysis center segment of the Epoetin alfa market, which accounts for about two-thirds of the Company's EPOGEN sales, the Arbitrator ruled that the Company's audit accurately determined that all Epoetin alfa sales to free standing dialysis centers are made for dialysis. For the other segments of the Epoetin alfa market, the Arbitrator ruled that the detailed methodology used by Amgen accurately measured and allocated Epoetin alfa sales for all but the Hospital and Home Health Care segments, for which he ordered certain adjustments to the results of the audit for the specified time periods. The Arbitrator also ruled that no payments are due for the 1989-90 period. Subject to further guidance from the Arbitrator to clarify his opinion, the Company estimated that the effect of the opinion would be a net spillover payment to Johnson & Johnson which, after benefit of income tax effects, was $78 million for the 1991-94 period and interest in the amount of $18 million after tax. As a result of the opinion, the Company took a charge in its third quarter for the spillover payment and interest of $0.35 per share. Johnson & Johnson asserted that the Company owes more for the 1991-94 period than the Company calculated for that period. A hearing before the Arbitrator was held on October 27, 1997 to clarify, among other issues, the calculation for the amount of the spillover payment due to Johnson & Johnson for the 1991-94 time period. As a result of that hearing, the Company will pay an additional amount to Johnson & Johnson for the 1991-94 period which is covered by amounts previously provided for by the Company. Further rulings clarifying the Company's entitlement to attorney's fees and costs and audit costs as well as the calculation of spillover payments, if any, that may be due to the Company or Johnson & Johnson for 1995, 1996 and 1997 will be sought by the parties before a final order is issued. Pending determination by the Arbitrator, the Company has not taken any benefit for the possible recovery of attorneys' fees and costs or audit costs and has retained spillover reserves. Johnson & Johnson also disputes the Company's entitlement to reimbursement for attorneys' fees and costs or audit costs. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Arbitrator will award such reimbursement. If, as a result of these further arbitration rulings, any adjustments to the results of the Company's audit yield results that are different from the results of the audit currently employed by the Company, the Company may be required to pay additional compensation to Johnson & Johnson for sales during 1995, 1996 and 1997, or Johnson & Johnson may be required to pay compensation to the Company for such prior period sales. The Company has filed a demand in the arbitration to terminate Johnson & Johnson's rights under the License Agreement and to recover damages for breach of the License Agreement. Johnson & Johnson disputes Arbitrator McGarr's jurisdiction to decide the Company's demand. A hearing before Arbitrator McGarr on the Company's demand 13 will be scheduled following his adjudication of the audit methodologies for Epoetin alfa sales. On October 2, 1995, Johnson & Johnson filed a demand for a separate arbitration proceeding against the Company before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in Chicago, Illinois. Johnson & Johnson alleges in this demand that the Company has breached the License Agreement. The demand also includes allegations of various antitrust violations. In this demand, Johnson & Johnson seeks an injunction, declaratory relief, unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages and costs. On October 27, 1995, the Company filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois seeking an order compelling Johnson & Johnson to arbitrate the Company's claim for termination before Arbitrator McGarr as well as all related counterclaims asserted in Johnson & Johnson's October 2, 1995 AAA arbitration demand. The Company is unable to predict at this time the outcome of the demand for termination or when it will be resolved. The Company has filed a motion to stay the AAA arbitration pending the outcome of the existing arbitration proceedings before Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. discussed above. The Company has also filed an answer and counterclaim denying that AAA has jurisdiction to hear or decide the claims stated in the demand, denying the allegations in the demand and counter claiming for certain unpaid invoices. On June 5, 1997, Ortho Biotech, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson affiliate, filed a demand for arbitration against Kirin-Amgen, Inc. ("Kirin-Amgen"), before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The demand alleges that Amgen's novel erythropoiesis stimulating protein ("NESP") is covered by a license granted by Kirin-Amgen to Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation in 1985 for the development, manufacture and sale of Epoetin alfa in certain territories outside the United States, Japan and China. In 1996 Kirin-Amgen acquired exclusive worldwide rights in NESP from Amgen. Kirin-Amgen, in turn, transferred certain rights in NESP to Kirin and certain rights to Amgen. Ortho Biotech alleges that Ortho Pharmaceutical's 1985 license agreement with Kirin-Amgen effectively grants Ortho Biotech the same right to develop, manufacture and sell NESP as Kirin-Amgen previously granted to Ortho Pharmaceutical in 1985 for the development, manufacture and sale of Epoetin alfa. On June 20, 1997 Kirin-Amgen initiated suit in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois seeking a judicial determination of Ortho Biotech's standing to seek arbitration of claims under Kirin-Amgen's 1985 license agreement with Ortho Pharmaceutical. At the same time, Kirin-Amgen filed a motion with AAA to dismiss or stay the arbitration pending judicial resolution of Ortho Biotech's standing to arbitrate claims under Kirin-Amgen's license agreement with Ortho Pharmaceutical. Synergen ANTRIL(TM) litigation Lawsuits have been filed against the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Amgen Boulder Inc. (formerly Synergen, Inc.), alleging misrepresentations in connection with Synergen's research and development of ANTRIL(TM) for the treatment of sepsis. One suit, filed by a limited partner of the partnership with which Amgen Boulder Inc. is affiliated, has been certified as a class action. 14 That suit seeks rescission of certain payments made by the limited partners to the partnership (or unspecified damages not less than $52 million) and treble damages based on a variety of allegations relating to state and federal law claims. The plaintiffs in that suit also have filed a second amended complaint alleging violations of federal securities laws. In August and September 1996, the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgement. The Court heard argument on November 1, 1996. Since then, the parties' representatives have reached a tentative settlement agreement which is subject to final approval by the Court and the approval of the limited partners of the partnership. Under its terms, the plaintiffs, who include present limited partners of the partnership, will receive $14.5 million in exchange for the transfer of ownership of their units; the suit will be dismissed with prejudice and the parties will exchange mutual releases. FoxMeyer Health Corporation On January 10, 1997, FoxMeyer Health Corporation, now known as Avatex Corporation ("Avatex"), filed suit (the "FoxMeyer Lawsuit") in the District Court of Dallas County, Dallas, Texas, alleging that defendant McKesson Corporation ("McKesson") defrauded Avatex, misused confidential information received from Avatex about subsidiaries of Avatex (FoxMeyer Corporation and FoxMeyer Drug Corporation, collectively the "FoxMeyer Subsidiaries"), and attempted to monopolize the market for pharmaceutical and health care product distribution by attempting to injure or destroy the FoxMeyer Subsidiaries. The Company is named as one of twelve "Manufacturer Defendants" alleged to have conspired with McKesson Corporation in doing, among other things, the above and (i) inducing Avatex to refrain from seeking other suitable purchasers for the FoxMeyer Subsidiaries and (ii) causing Avatex to believe that McKesson was serious about purchasing Avatex's assets at fair value, when, in fact, McKesson was not. The Manufacturer Defendants and McKesson are also alleged to have intentionally and tortiously interfered with a number of business expectancies and opportunities. The complaint seeks from the Manufacturer Defendants and McKesson compensatory damages of at least $400 million and punitive damages in an unspecified amount, as well as Avatex's costs and attorney's fees. The Company has filed an answer denying Avatex's allegations. The matter has been transferred to the Federal Bankruptcy Court in Dallas, Texas (the "Texas Bankruptcy Court"). The Manufacturer Defendants subsequently sought to transfer the matter to the Federal Bankruptcy Court in Delaware (the "Delaware Bankruptcy Court"), where the FoxMeyer Subsidiaries' Chapter 7 bankruptcy action is pending. The Company is a creditor in such bankruptcy proceeding. On August 27, 1997, the Texas Bankruptcy Court denied the motion to transfer venue to the Delaware Bankruptcy Court, but decided that it would adhere to any decision made by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court regarding, among other things, ownership of claims asserted by Avatex, as described below. McKesson and the Manufacturer Defendant's have intervened in an action brought by the Chapter 7 trustee in the Delaware Bankruptcy Court that seeks to enjoin the FoxMeyer Lawsuit and have moved for partial summary judgment in that proceeding, asserting that Avatex is not the owner of the alleged causes of action. To date, no discovery has occurred in either the 15 Texas Bankruptcy Court adversary proceedings or the Delaware Bankruptcy Court adversary proceeding for injunction. While it is not possible to predict accurately or determine the eventual outcome of the above described legal matters or various other legal proceedings (including patent disputes) involving Amgen, the Company believes that the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial statements. 5. Stockholders' equity During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased 7.4 million shares of its common stock at a total cost of $416.5 million which substantially completed the $450 million amount authorized for 1997 under its common stock repurchase program. In October 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $1 billion of common stock through December 31, 1998. Stock repurchased under the program is retired. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash provided by operating activities has been and is expected to continue to be the Company's primary source of funds. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, operations provided $665.6 million of cash compared with $545.7 million during the same period last year. The Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1,101.7 million at September 30, 1997, compared with $1,077 million at December 31, 1996. Capital expenditures totaled $292 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared with $167.6 million for the same period a year ago. The Company anticipates spending approximately $350 million to $400 million on capital projects and equipment to expand the Company's global operations in 1997. Thereafter over the next few years, capital expenditures are expected to average approximately $350-$450 million per year. The Company receives cash from the exercise of employee stock options. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, stock options and their related tax benefits provided $127.6 million of cash compared with $98.4 million for the same period last year. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and their related tax benefits will vary from period to period based upon, among other factors, fluctuations in the market value of the Company's stock relative to the exercise price of such options. The Company has a stock repurchase program primarily to offset the dilutive effect of its employee stock option and stock purchase plans. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company purchased 7.4 million shares of its common stock at a cost of $416.5 16 million compared with 6.1 million shares purchased at a cost of $346.8 million during the same period last year. In October 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1 billion of common stock through December 31, 1998. During the remainder of 1997, the Company expects to complete the $450 million previously authorized for 1997 repurchases and to utilize a portion of the additional $1 billion recently authorized for the repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repaid $118.2 million of maturing debt consisting of $68.2 million of promissory notes and $50 million of debt securities. At September 30, 1997, the Company had $159 million of unsecured debt outstanding. Of this total, $59 million bears interest at fixed rates averaging 5.8% and matures in approximately one to six years. In April 1997, the Company issued $100 million of debt securities which bear interest at a fixed rate of 8.1% and mature on April 1, 2097. These debt securities were issued to refinance a portion of debt that has matured in 1997. The Company also has sources of debt financing in order to provide for financial flexibility and increased liquidity. The Company has a commercial paper program which provides for short-term borrowings up to an aggregate face amount of $200 million. The Company also has a $150 million revolving line of credit for borrowings and to support the commercial paper program. As of September 30, 1997, no amounts were outstanding under either source. The primary objectives for the Company's investment portfolio are liquidity and safety of principal. Investments are made to achieve the highest rate of return to the Company, consistent with these two objectives. The Company's investment policy limits investments to certain types of instruments issued by institutions with investment grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by type and issuer. The Company invests its excess cash in securities with varying maturities to meet projected cash needs. The Company believes that existing funds, cash generated from operations and existing sources of debt financing are adequate to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. However, the Company may raise additional capital from time to time. Results of Operations Product sales Product sales increased 4% and 8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. NEUPOGEN(R) (Filgrastim) Worldwide NEUPOGEN(R) sales were $267.9 million and $784.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, 17 respectively. These amounts represent increases of $9.1 million and $37.8 million or 4% and 5%, respectively, over the same periods last year. These increases are primarily due to demand growth, higher prices and the favorable effects of wholesaler buying patterns. Unfavorable foreign currency effects and European Union ("EU") government initiatives to lower health care expenditures reduced growth in EU sales. In addition, the Company believes that the use of protease inhibitors as a treatment for AIDS has reduced sales of NEUPOGEN(R) for off-label use as a supportive therapy in this setting. NEUPOGEN(R) is not approved or promoted for such use, except in Australia and Canada. Quarterly NEUPOGEN(R) sales volume in the United States is influenced by a number of factors including underlying demand and wholesaler inventory management practices. Wholesaler inventory reductions tend to reduce domestic NEUPOGEN(R) sales in the first quarter each year. In addition, the discretionary aspects of some cancer chemotherapy administration has had a slight seasonal effect on NEUPOGEN(R) sales. Cost containment pressures in the health care marketplace have contributed to the slowing of growth in domestic NEUPOGEN(R) usage over the past several years. These pressures are expected to continue to influence such growth for the foreseeable future. The growth of the colony stimulating factor ("CSF") market in the EU in which NEUPOGEN(R) competes has slowed, principally due to EU government pressures on physician prescribing practices in response to on-going government initiatives to reduce health care expenditures. Additionally, the Company faces competition from another granulocyte CSF product. Although the Company's CSF market share in the EU has remained relatively constant over the last several quarters, the Company does not expect the competitive intensity to subside in the near future. EPOGEN(R) (Epoetin alfa) EPOGEN(R) sales were $284.9 million and $871.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively. These amounts represent increases of $10.4 million and $88.6 million or 4% and 11%, respectively, over the same periods last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the increase was primarily due to continued increases in the U.S. dialysis patient population. Although sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997 benefited from increases in the U.S. dialysis patient population, EPOGEN(R) sales during this period continued to be adversely affected by reimbursement changes implemented on September 1, 1997 by the Health Care Finance Administration ("HCFA"). Prior to these changes, Fiscal Intermediaries under contract to HCFA were authorized to pay reimbursement claims for patients whose hematocrits were above the FDA approved level of 36 percent with adequate medical justification. Under the new rules, medical justification will no longer be accepted for payment of claims above 36 percent, and reimbursement will be denied if the current month's hematocrit is 36 or above and the patient's hematocrit exceeds 36.5 percent on an historical 90-day "rolling average" basis. It has been and remains difficult to 18 predict EPOGEN(R) usage under this policy because individual patient hematocrit variability is high, the timing and nature of dialysis center actions varies widely, and the twice postponed implementation date has lengthened the duration of the implementation period. Beginning in the second quarter of 1997, the Company experienced and continues to experience an impact on EPOGEN(R) sales of lowered and withheld doses as some dialysis providers attempt to reduce hematocrits to avoid or minimize future claim denials. The Company anticipates that because patient hematocrits can vary significantly from month to month, physicians will continue to administer lowered doses and withhold doses to maintain hematocrits at a level which, in their judgment, is sufficiently low to avoid or minimize claim denials. Amgen is aggressively providing information and guidance to dialysis providers on changes in their practices to both maximize patient outcomes to the greatest extent permitted by the new policy and to avoid or minimize the potential that claims will be denied. It is not possible to predict which practices will be adopted by each dialysis center or when they will do so. Corporate partner revenues Corporate partner revenues increased by $7.7 million and $11.3 million, or 33% and 13%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. These increases are primarily due to increased revenues from Yamanouchi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Cost of sales Cost of sales as a percentage of product sales was 13.4% and 13.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to 13.7% and 13.6% for the same periods last year. In 1997, cost of sales as a percentage of product sales is expected to range from 13%-14% reflecting continuing efficiencies of the Puerto Rican operations. Research and development During the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, research and development expenses increased $42.2 million and $81.1 million, or 32% and 21%, respectively, compared with the same periods last year. These increases are primarily due to higher clinical and pre-clinical activities, including staff-related expenses, necessary to support ongoing product development activities, and in the third quarter of 1997, a $15 million initial payment to Guilford Pharmaceuticals pursuant to a licensing agreement. In 1997, research and development expenses are expected to increase at a rate exceeding the Company's product sales growth rate. This increase is planned for internal efforts on development of product candidates, for discovery, and for licensing efforts. Marketing and selling/General and administrative Marketing and selling expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 4%, and increased $0.6 million, or 0.3%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared with the same 19 periods last year. The three and nine month periods both benefited from lower European marketing expenses resulting from the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates and lower expenses related to the Johnson & Johnson arbitration. These reductions were partially or fully offset by higher staff-related costs and higher outside marketing expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $4.1 million and $15.2 million, or 10% and 13%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with the same periods last year. These increases were primarily due to higher staff- related expenses. In 1997, marketing and selling expenses combined with general and administrative expenses are expected to have an aggregate annual growth rate lower than the anticipated annual product sales growth rate due in part to the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates on European expenses and reduced expenses related to the Johnson & Johnson arbitration. Legal assessment During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $157 million relating to a spillover arbitration award to Johnson & Johnson. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - "Johnson & Johnson arbitrations". Interest and other income Interest and other income increased $0.7 million and $3.4 million, or 4% and 7%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with the same periods last year. The increases are principally due to higher income from the Company's investment portfolio and gains on foreign currency denominated contracts, and are partially offset by certain non-operating expenses. Interest and other income is expected to fluctuate from period to period primarily due to changes in cash balances and interest rates. Income taxes The Company's effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 was 5.1% and 24.7% compared with 28% and 29.8%, respectively, for the same periods last year. These decreases are primarily the result of reduced pretax income due to the legal assessment recorded in the third quarter of 1997 (see "--Legal assessment") without a corresponding reduction in tax benefits related to Puerto Rican operations. The rates for the 1997 periods also benefited from the extension of the federal research and experimentation tax credit enacted during the third quarter of 1997. Tax rates have been reduced during the last five quarters due to a favorable ruling received in the third quarter of 1996 from the Puerto Rican government with respect to tollgate taxes applicable to earnings in Puerto Rico. In 1998, the Company expects the tax rate to increase to approximately 30%, due to a change in the U.S. federal 20 tax law which limits the tax benefits related to manufacturing in Puerto Rico, the location of the Company's fill-and-finish facility. Foreign currency transactions The Company has a program to manage certain portions of its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates arising from international operations. The Company generally hedges the receivables and payables with foreign currency forward contracts, which typically mature within six months. The Company uses foreign currency option and forward contracts which generally expire within 12 months to hedge certain anticipated future sales and expenses. At September 30, 1997, outstanding foreign currency option and forward contracts totaled $49.1 million and $78.1 million, respectively. Financial Outlook Worldwide NEUPOGEN(R) (Filgrastim) sales for 1997 are expected to grow at a rate lower than the 1996 growth rate. Future NEUPOGEN(R) sales increases are dependent primarily upon further penetration of existing markets, the timing and nature of additional indications for which the product may be approved and the effects of competitive products. Although not approved or promoted for use in Amgen's domestic or foreign markets, except for Australia and Canada, the Company believes that approximately 10% of its worldwide NEUPOGEN(R) sales are from off-label use as a supportive therapy to various AIDS treatments. Changes in AIDS therapies, including therapies that may be less myelosuppressive, are believed to have adversely affected and are expected to continue to adversely affect such sales. NEUPOGEN(R) usage is expected to continue to be affected by cost containment pressures on health care providers worldwide. In addition, international NEUPOGEN(R) sales will continue to be subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and government budgets. The Company anticipates a single-digit sales growth rate for EPOGEN(R) (Epoetin alfa) in 1997. The Company also anticipates that, without any modifications to the reimbursement changes implemented by HCFA, additional sales growth due to dose, if any, is likely to be minimal; however, the Company believes that increases in the U.S. dialysis patient population will continue to grow EPOGEN(R) sales in the near term. Patients receiving treatment for end stage renal disease are covered primarily under medical programs provided by the federal government. Therefore, EPOGEN(R) sales may also be affected by future changes in reimbursement rates or the basis for reimbursement by the federal government. The Company is aware of reports that a draft report by the Inspector General recommends a 10% cut in Medicare reimbursement for EPOGEN. The Company believes that the Inspector General's report is now in a period of comment and cannot predict when a final recommendation will be publicly issued. In October 1997, the Company launched its third product, INFERGEN(R) (Interferon alfacon-1), for the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C Virus infection. There are currently other existing treatments for this infection against which INFERGEN(R) will compete. The Company cannot predict the extent to which it will penetrate this market. The Company is presently engaged in certain litigation 21 related to INFERGEN(R), as described in the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 and the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997. The Company anticipates a single digit total product sales growth rate for 1997. Excluding the third quarter 1997 legal assessment, earnings per share is expected to grow at a low double digit rate in 1997. Estimates of future product sales and earnings per share, however, are necessarily speculative in nature and are difficult to predict with accuracy. In the third quarter of 1997, the Company announced that it is seeking a corporate partner for its ongoing inflammation research and development program located in Boulder, Colorado, which includes the product candidates IL-1ra (interleukin-1 receptor antagonist), TNFbp (tumor necrosis factor binding protein) and SLPI (secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in finding an acceptable corporate partner or acceptable business terms. Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed herein are by their nature forward-looking. For reasons stated, or for various unanticipated reasons, actual results may differ materially. Amgen operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond the Company's control. Future operating results and matters which may affect the Company's stock price may be affected by a number of factors, certain of which are discussed elsewhere herein and are discussed in the sections appearing under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Factors That May Affect Future Results" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, which sections are incorporated herein by reference and filed as an exhibit hereto. Legal Matters The Company is engaged in arbitration proceedings with one of its licensees and various other legal proceedings. For a discussion of these matters, see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company is engaged in arbitration proceedings with one of its licensees. For a complete discussion of these matters see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - "Contingencies - Johnson & Johnson arbitrations". Other legal proceedings are also reported in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, with material developments since that report described in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997 and below. While it is not possible to predict accurately 22 or to determine the eventual outcome of these matters, the Company believes that the outcome of these legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company. Biogen litigation On March 10, 1995, Biogen Inc. ("Biogen"), filed suit in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging infringement by the Company of certain claims of U.S. Patent 4,874,702 (the "`702 Patent"), relating to vectors for expressing cloned genes. Biogen alleges that Amgen has infringed its patent by manufacturing and selling NEUPOGEN(R). On March 28, 1995, Biogen filed an amended complaint further alleging that the Company is also infringing the claims of two additional patents allegedly assigned to Biogen, U.S. Patent 5,401,642 (the "`642 Patent") and U.S. Patent No. 5,401,658 (the "`658 Patent"), relating to vectors, methods for making vectors and expressing closed genes. The amended complaint seeks injunctive relief, unspecified compensatory damages and treble damages. On April 24, 1995, the Company answered Biogen's amended complaint, denying its material allegations and pleading counterclaims for declaratory judgment of non-infringement, patent invalidity and unenforceability. On January 19, 1996, the Court decided, upon Biogen's motion to dismiss certain of Amgen's counterclaims, that it will exert jurisdiction over claims 9 and 17 of the `702 Patent, and dismissed all claims and counterclaims relating to any other claims of the `702 Patent. Amgen moved for Summary Judgment of invalidity of claim 9 of the `702 Patent. On July 7, 1997, the Company's Summary Judgment Motion was denied. On August 14, 1997, Amgen filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the Courts ruling on invalidity of claim 9 of the `702 patent. On October 20, 1997, the Motion for Reconsideration was also denied. These denials are not dispositive of the case, and the effect of the ruling is to reserve certain issues for trial. On October 22, 1997, Amgen moved for summary judgment of invalidity of the certain claims of the `702 and `651 Patents based on prior public uses of the claimed subject matter. Amgen concurrently moved for a partial interpretation of the claims at issue. In addition, on October 24, 1997, Amgen filed a motion for summary judgment of invalidity of particular claims of the patents-in-suit based on abandonment of the invention. Amgen also concurrently filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit in its entirety based on Biogen's lack of standing to bring the lawsuit in view of Biogen's lack of ownership of the patents-in- suit. Discovery in the case is substantially completed. A trial date has not been set. In a separate matter, on July 30, 1997, Biogen filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts in Boston alleging that Amgen infringes claims 9 and 17 of the `702 Patent, and the `642 Patent and `658 Patent by making and using the claimed subject matter in the United States in the manufacture of INFERGEN(R), the Company's consensus interferon product. On September 17, 1997, Amgen responded to the Complaint by filing a motion to dismiss the case in its entirety due to Biogen's lack of standing to bring the lawsuit in view of Biogen's lack of ownership of the patents-in-suit. Amgen also filed a motion for summary judgment of patent invalidity of particular claims of the patents-in- 23 suit due to abandonment of the invention. Biogen is seeking to consolidate this case with above-described case pertaining to NEUPOGEN(R). Discovery has not begun and a trial date has not been set. Genentech litigation On October 16, 1996, Genentech, Inc. filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California seeking an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, treble damages and injunctive relief on its U.S. Patents 4,704,362, 5,221,619 and 4,342,832 ( the "'362, `619 and `832 Patents"), relating to vectors for expressing cloned genes and the methods for such expression. Genentech, Inc. alleges that Amgen has infringed its patents by manufacturing and selling NEUPOGEN(R). On December 2, 1996, Amgen was served with this lawsuit. On January 21, 1997, the Company answered the complaint and asserted counterclaims relating to invalidity and non-infringement of the patents-in-suit. On February 10, 1997, Genentech, Inc. served Amgen with a reply to the counterclaim and an additional counterclaim asserting U.S. Patent 5,583,013 (the "'013 Patent"), issued December 10, 1996, seeking relief similar to that sought for the '362, `619 and `832 Patents. On March 31, 1997, Amgen answered this pleading and asserted counterclaims relating to invalidity and non-infringement of the `013 Patent. Discovery is currently ongoing. The parties are in the process of exchanging papers pertaining to interpretation of the patent claims. A "Markman hearing" on claim construction is scheduled for March 1998.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS Factors That May Affect Future Results Amgen operates in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond the Company's control. The following discussion highlights some of these risks and others are discussed elsewhere herein and in other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Period to period fluctuations The Company's operating results may fluctuate for a number of reasons. The forecasting of revenue is inherently uncertain for a variety of reasons. Because the Company plans its operating expenses, many of which are relatively fixed in the short term, on the basis that revenues will continue to grow, even a relatively small revenue shortfall may cause a period's results to be below expectations. Such a revenue shortfall could arise from any number of factors, including lower than expected demand, wholesalers' buying patterns, product pricing strategies, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in government or private reimbursement, transit interruptions, overall economic conditions or natural disasters (including earthquakes). See "Results of Operations - Product sales - NEUPOGEN(R) (Filgrastim)" for a discussion regarding quarterly NEUPOGEN(R) sales. The Company's stock price, like that of other biotechnology companies, is subject to significant volatility. If revenues or earnings in any quarter fail to meet the investment community's expectations, there could be an immediate impact on the Company's stock price. The stock price may also be affected by, among other things, clinical trial results and other product development related announcements by Amgen or its competitors, regulatory matters, intellectual property and legal matters, or broader industry and market trends unrelated to the Company's performance. Rapid growth In light of management's views of the potential for future growth of the Company's business, the Company has adopted an aggressive growth plan that includes substantial and increased investments in research and development and 1 investments in facilities that will be required to support significant growth. This plan carries with it a number of risks, including a higher level of operating expenses, the difficulty of attracting and assimilating a large number of new employees, and the complexities associated with managing a larger and faster growing organization. Product development The Company intends to continue to develop product candidates. Successful product development in the biotechnology industry is highly uncertain and only a small minority of research and development programs ultimately result in commercially successful drugs. Product development is dependent on numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. Product candidates that appear promising in the early phases of development may fail to reach market for numerous reasons. They may be found to be ineffective or to have harmful side effects in clinical or preclinical testing, fail to receive necessary regulatory approvals, be uneconomic because of manufacturing costs or other factors, or be precluded from commercialization by the proprietary rights of others. Success in preclinical and early clinical trials does not ensure that large scale clinical trials will be successful. Clinical results are frequently susceptible to varying interpretations which may delay, limit or prevent further clinical development or regulatory approvals. The length of time necessary to complete clinical trials and receive approval for product marketing by regulatory authorities varies significantly by product and indication and is often difficult to predict. Regulatory approvals The success of current products and future product candidates of the Company will depend in part upon maintaining and obtaining regulatory approval to market products. Domestic and foreign statutes and regulations govern matters relating to the Company's products and product candidates and the research and development activities associated with them. The Company's product candidates may prove to have undesirable side effects that may interrupt or delay clinical studies and could ultimately prevent or limit their commercial use. The Company or regulatory authorities may suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time if the participants in such trials are believed to be exposed to unacceptable health risks. Even if regulatory approval is obtained, a marketed product and its manufacturer are subject to continued review. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or manufacturer may result in restrictions on such product or manufacturer, including withdrawal of the product from the market. Failure to obtain necessary approvals, or the restriction, suspension, or revocation of any approvals, or 2 the failure to comply with regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Reimbursement The success of the Company's products partially depends upon the extent to which a consumer is willing to pay the price or able to obtain reimbursement for the cost of these products from government health administration authorities, private health insurers, and other organizations. Significant uncertainties exist as to the reimbursement status of newly approved therapeutic products, and current reimbursement policies for existing products may change. It is possible that changes in reimbursement or failure to obtain reimbursement may reduce the demand for or the price of the Company's products. Several factors could influence the pricing or reimbursement for the Company's products including: (1) third-party payors continuing to challenge the prices charged for medical services and products, (2) the trend towards managed care in the United States, (3) the growth of organizations which could control or significantly influence the purchase of health care services and products, and (4) legislative proposals to reform health care or reduce government insurance programs. NEUPOGEN(R) usage has been and is expected to continue to be affected by cost containment pressures on health care providers worldwide. In addition, patients receiving EPOGEN(R) in connection with treatment for end stage renal disease are covered primarily under medical programs provided by the federal government. Therefore, EPOGEN(R) sales may also be affected by future changes in reimbursement rates or the basis for reimbursement by the federal government. Competition Substantial competition exists in the biotechnology industry from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies which may have technical or competitive advantages. The Company competes with these companies in the development of technologies and processes and sometimes competes with them in acquiring technology from academic institutions, government agencies, and other private and public research organizations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to produce or acquire rights to products that have commercial potential. Even if the Company achieves product commercialization, there can be no assurance that one or more of the Company's competitors may not: (1) achieve product commercialization earlier than the Company, (2) receive patent protection that dominates or adversely affects the Company's activities, or (3) have significantly greater marketing capabilities. 3 The field of biotechnology has undergone rapid and significant technological change. The Company expects that the technology associated with the Company's research and development will continue to develop rapidly, and the Company's future success will depend in large part on its ability to maintain a competitive position with respect to this technology. Rapid technological development by the Company or others may result in some of the Company's product candidates, products, or processes becoming obsolete before the Company recovers a significant portion of the research, development, manufacturing, and commercialization expenses it incurs. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Intellectual property and legal matters The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Accordingly the breadth of claims allowed in such companies' patents cannot be predicted. Patent disputes are frequent and can preclude commercialization of products. The Company is and may in the future be involved in material patent litigation. Such litigation, if decided adversely, could subject the Company to significant liabilities and cause the Company to obtain third party licenses or cease using the technology or product in dispute. The Company is involved in arbitration proceedings with Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson ("Johnson & Johnson"), relating to a license granted by the Company to Johnson & Johnson for sales of Epoetin alfa in the United States for all human uses except dialysis and diagnostics. See Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - "Contingencies - Johnson and Johnson arbitrations." While it is impossible to predict accurately or determine the outcome of these proceedings, based primarily upon the merits of its claims and based upon certain liabilities established due to the inherent uncertainty of any arbitrated result, the Company believes that the outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial statements. However, it is possible that an adverse decision could, depending on its magnitude, have a material adverse effect on the financial statements. 4 EX-27 4
