Recent Events

• AbbVie announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) that updates the indication statement for Rinvoq (upadacitinib) for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) and moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD). The updated indication statement allows the use of Rinvoq prior to the use of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocking agents in patients for whom use of these treatments is clinically inadvisable and who have received at least one approved systemic therapy.
   
• AbbVie announced positive topline results from the second of two pivotal studies of the Phase 3 UP-AA clinical program evaluating the safety and efficacy of Rinvoq in adult and adolescent patients with severe alopecia areata (AA). In the study, Rinvoq achieved the primary endpoint, demonstrating that 45.2% and 55.0% of patients with severe AA treated with Rinvoq 15 mg and 30 mg, respectively, reached 80% or more scalp hair coverage at week 24 as defined by the severity of alopecia tool (SALT) score ≤ 20. Key secondary endpoints, including improvements in eyebrows and eyelashes, as well as the percentage of subjects with 90% or more scalp coverage (SALT ≤ 10) and complete scalp hair coverage (SALT=0) at week 24, were also met. Rinvoq's safety profile in AA was generally consistent with that in approved indications, and no new safety signals were identified in this study.
   
• AbbVie announced topline results from two replicate Phase 3 studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of Rinvoq 15 mg in adult and adolescent patients living with non-segmental vitiligo (NSV). In the studies, Rinvoq achieved the co-primary endpoints of 50% reduction in total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI 50) from baseline and 75% reduction in Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI 75) from baseline at week 48. Additionally, across both studies, statistically significant differences were observed with Rinvoq versus placebo in key ranked secondary endpoints, including F-VASI 50 at week 48. The safety profile of Rinvoq in both studies was generally consistent with that observed in approved indications.
   
• AbbVie announced positive topline results from the Phase 3b/4 head-to-head SELECT-SWITCH study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Rinvoq compared to Humira (adalimumab) in adult patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who had an inadequate response or intolerance to a single TNF inhibitor other than Humira. In the study, Rinvoq demonstrated superiority versus Humira in the primary endpoint of achieving low disease activity and demonstrated superiority for additional ranked secondary endpoints at week 12. Rinvoq's safety profile was consistent with previously reported studies, with no new safety risks identified.
   
• AbbVie announced that it completed its acquisition of Capstan Therapeutics. The acquisition adds a potential first-in-class in vivo targeted lipid nanoparticle (tLNP) anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy candidate for B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases as well as a proprietary tLNP platform designed to deliver RNA payloads, such as mRNA, capable of engineering specific cell types in vivo.
   
• AbbVie announced that it submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the FDA for tavapadon, a novel selective dopamine D1/D5 receptor partial agonist for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). The submission is supported by data from the Phase 3 TEMPO program, which demonstrated symptomatic improvement across the PD spectrum. If approved, tavapadon will enhance AbbVie's position in PD by providing patients with a once daily oral treatment option.
   
• AbbVie announced positive topline results from the Phase 2 ELATE trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) for the treatment of upper limb essential tremor. Botox met the primary endpoint in the Phase 2 trial, demonstrating a statistically significant improvement from baseline in the Tremor Disability Scale-Revised (TREDS-R) total unilateral score compared to placebo. The trial also met all six secondary endpoints. Results from safety analyses were generally consistent with the well-established safety profile of Botox.
  
   
• AbbVie announced that it completed its acquisition of Gilgamesh Pharmaceuticals' lead investigational candidate, bretisilocin. Bretisilocin is a novel, short-acting serotonin (5-HT)2A receptor agonist and 5-HT releaser psychedelic compound with best-in-class potential, which is currently in Phase 2 clinical development for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe major depressive disorder (MDD). Positive topline results from a Phase 2a study of bretisilocin in MDD were previously announced, demonstrating a clinically impactful and statistically significant reduction in severity of depressive symptoms versus low dose active comparator, as measured by the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score.
  
   
• AbbVie announced submission of a new Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for approval of pivekimab sunirine (PVEK), an investigational antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), for treatment of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). The submission is based on data from the Phase 1/2 CADENZA trial, a global study evaluating the safety and efficacy of PVEK in BPDCN. BPDCN is a rare and aggressive blood cancer with significant need for innovative treatment options for both newly diagnosed patients and for those whose prior treatments have resulted in relapsed or refractory (R/R) disease.
  
   
• At the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, AbbVie presented new data from its ADC portfolio in patients with difficult-to-treat tumor types. Highlights included three oral presentations for Temab-A (telisotuzumab adizutecan) as a monotherapy or in combination across advanced, solid tumors, as well as new analysis of ABBV-706 for the treatment of R/R small cell lung cancer (SCLC).
  
   
• At the Society of Hematologic Oncology (SOHO) Annual Meeting, AbbVie announced updated results from the Phase 2 EPCORE NHL-6 trial evaluating the feasibility of dosing and monitoring patients in the outpatient setting for the first full dose of Epkinly (epcoritamab) monotherapy in adult patients with R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who have received at least one prior line of systemic therapy. Results from the study demonstrated that the incidence and severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) following treatment with epcoritamab were consistent with previous epcoritamab studies in R/R DLBCL.
  
   
• AbbVie announced plans to launch Elahere (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) in the U.K. at a list price equal to the U.S., reflecting the advanced innovation and value of the treatment for adult patients with folate receptor-alpha (FRα) positive, platinum-resistant high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens. AbbVie is committed to ensuring that developed nations fully recognize the value of our medicines in improving patient outcomes, consistent with the level of recognition in the U.S.
  
   
• Allergan Aesthetics announced several marketing initiatives, which include a new national, multichannel, campaign highlighting Botox Cosmetic's (onabotulinumtoxinA) market leadership, legacy and real-world patient experiences; the launch of a consumer education campaign that is aimed at providing clear, factual information about hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable fillers and the natural-looking results they can achieve; and the launch of SkinVive by Juvederm into 35 new markets.
  
   
• AbbVie announced it broke ground on a $195 million state-of-the-art active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) facility that will manufacture immunology, oncology and neuroscience medicines. This North Chicago, Ill. facility is expected to be fully operational and serving patients by 2027. The company also announced the start of construction on a $70 million expansion at its AbbVie Bioresearch Center (ABC) in Worcester, Mass., which will increase biologics manufacturing for immunology and oncology medicines. These projects are part of AbbVie's previously announced commitment to invest more than $10 billion of capital in the U.S. to broadly support innovation and expand critical manufacturing capabilities and capacity.

Full-Year 2025 Outlook

AbbVie is raising its adjusted diluted EPS guidance for the full year 2025 from $10.38 - $10.58 to $10.61 - $10.65, which includes an unfavorable impact of $2.05 per share related to acquired IPR&D and milestones expense incurred year-to-date through the third quarter 2025. The company's 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes any impact from acquired IPR&D and milestones that may be incurred beyond the third quarter of 2025, as both cannot be reliably forecasted.

Company Declares Dividend Increase of 5.5 Percent

AbbVie is announcing today that its board of directors declared an increase in the company's quarterly cash dividend from $1.64 per share to $1.73 per share beginning with the dividend payable on February 17, 2026 to shareholders of record as of January 16, 2026. This reflects an increase of approximately 5.5 percent, continuing AbbVie's strong commitment to returning cash to shareholders through a growing dividend.
