Financial Performance

  • Revenue was DKK 10,111 million in 2020 compared to DKK 5,366 million in 2019. The increase of DKK 4,745 million, or 88%, was primarily driven by the upfront payment from AbbVie pursuant to our new collaboration announced in June and higher DARZALEX® royalties.
  • Operating expenses increased by DKK 1,070 million, or 39%, from DKK 2,728 million in 2019 to DKK 3,798 million in 2020 driven by the advancement of epcoritamab (DuoBody-CD3xCD20) and DuoBody-PD-L1x4-1BB, additional investments in our product pipeline and the increase in new employees to support the expansion of our product pipeline.
  • Operating result was DKK 6,313 million in 2020 compared to DKK 2,638 million in 2019. The improvement of DKK 3,675 million, or 139%, was driven by higher revenue, which was partly offset by increased operating expenses.
  • 2020 year-end cash position of DKK 16,079 million, an increase of DKK 5,108 million, or 47%, from DKK 10,971 million as of December 31, 2019.

2021 OUTLOOK

(DKK million) 2021 Guidance 2020 Actual Result
Revenue 6,800 - 7,500 10,111
Operating expenses (5,500) - (5,800) (3,798)
Operating result 1,000 - 2,000 6,313

Revenue We expect our 2021 revenue to be in the range of DKK 6,800 – 7,500 million, compared to DKK 10,111 million in 2020. Our revenue in 2020 was significantly impacted by the AbbVie collaboration and included DKK 4,398 million related to the portion of the upfront payment that was allocated to the license grants and recognized as revenue in 2020.  

Our projected revenue for 2021 primarily consists of DARZALEX® royalties of DKK 4,900 – 5,300 million. Such royalties are based on estimated DARZALEX® 2021 net sales of USD 5.2 – 5.6 billion compared to actual net sales in 2020 of approximately USD 4.2 billion. Janssen has started reducing its royalty payments to Genmab by what it claims to be Genmab’s share of Janssen’s royalty payments to Halozyme in connection with subcutaneous sales beginning in the second quarter of 2020. Given the ongoing arbitration, Genmab has reflected this as a reduction to estimated 2021 revenue. The remainder of our revenue consists of royalties from TEPEZZA® and Kesimpta®, reimbursement revenue, milestones for epcoritamab under our AbbVie collaboration, and other milestones.

Operating Expenses We anticipate our 2021 operating expenses to be in the range of DKK 5,500 – 5,800 million, compared to DKK 3,798 million in 2020. The increase is driven by the advancement of our clinical programs, continued investment in research and development, as well as building our commercial organization and infrastructure.

Operating Result We expect our operating result to be in the range of DKK 1,000 – 2,000 million in 2021, compared to DKK 6,313 million in 2020.
