Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., Board co-Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regeneron. "We have made significant progress in our oncology portfolio, including FDA approval for Lynozyfic for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, exciting emerging data from the lead-in cohorts of our pivotal programs in myeloma and lymphoma, as well as positive pivotal data supporting a potential upcoming FDA approval for Libtayo in adjuvant CSCC. Dupixent continues to be the world-leading treatment for diseases driven by type 2 inflammation, adding recent FDA approvals for bullous pemphigoid and chronic spontaneous urticaria, the seventh and eighth distinct indications for this important medicine. We are confident in the near- and long-term potential of our diverse pipeline and look forward to additional data and regulatory milestones later this year."

Net product sales of EYLEA HD increased in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the second quarter of 2024, due to higher sales volumes driven by increased demand.
Net product sales of EYLEA in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the second quarter of 2024, were negatively impacted by (i) lower sales volumes as a result of continued competitive pressures, loss in market share to compounded bevacizumab due to patient affordability constraints, and the continued transition of patients to EYLEA HD, and (ii) a lower net selling price.
Sanofi collaboration revenue increased in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the second quarter of 2024, due to an increase in the Company's share of profits from the commercialization of antibodies, which were $1.282 billion and $988 million in the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in the Company's share of profits from commercialization of antibodies was driven by higher profits associated with an increase in Dupixent sales.
Refer to Table 4 for a summary of collaboration revenue.
Other revenue increased in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the second quarter of 2024, due to an increase in royalties and share of profits earned in connection with license agreements, which were $118 million and $69 million for the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Other Financial Information
GAAP other income (expense), net included the recognition of net unrealized gains on equity securities of $250 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $393 million in the second quarter of 2024.
In the second quarter of 2025, the Company's GAAP effective tax rate (ETR) was 8.4%, compared to 12.0% in the second quarter of 2024. The GAAP ETR decreased in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the net change in uncertain tax positions, partly offset by lower tax benefits from less stock option exercises. During the second quarter of 2025, the release of liabilities for uncertain tax positions recognized upon the effective settlement of an IRS audit reduced the Company's GAAP ETR by 3.9%. In the second quarter of 2025, the non-GAAP ETR was 8.3%, compared to 10.8% in the second quarter of 2024.
A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in Table 3 of this press release.
