Risk Assessment Framework
Strategic & Market Risks
- Market Dynamics: The Company is substantially dependent on the success of EYLEA HD, EYLEA, and Dupixent. Sales of EYLEA decreased in 2025 due to competitive pressures, loss in market share to compounded bevacizumab (due to patient affordability), and patient transition to EYLEA HD. Biosimilar competition for EYLEA is increasing in the U.S. and internationally, with additional biosimilars expected to launch in the U.S. in the second half of 2026. The commercial success of EYLEA HD depends on uptake efforts, differentiation, safety/efficacy in real-world use, and payor coverage.
- Technology Disruption: Competition from companies using alternative technologies like RNAi, CAR-T cell, and gene therapy, as well as small molecules, could impact the commercial success of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s antibody-based product candidates.
- Customer Concentration: Sales to two distributor customers accounted for 77% of total gross product revenue in 2025, posing a concentration risk. Loss of a large customer or significant reduction in sales could adversely affect results.
Operational & Execution Risks
- Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. relies on limited internal and contracted manufacturing and supply chain capacity. Dependence on collaborators and contract manufacturers for commercial quantities and fill/finish services is significant. Single-source third-party suppliers for raw materials and other services create dependency risks. Disruptions due to regulatory actions, business interruptions, labor shortages, or geopolitical developments (e.g., Russia-Ukraine, Hamas-Israel conflicts, U.S.-China trade relations) could impair manufacturing and supply.
- Geographic Concentration: Manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York, and Limerick, Ireland, and reliance on China-based suppliers for certain raw materials and services, expose the Company to regional and geopolitical risks.
- Capacity Constraints: Current manufacturing capacity may be insufficient for increased demand or pipeline advancement, requiring substantial expenditures and time for expansion and regulatory approvals. The new fill/finish facility in Rensselaer, New York, is not yet approved for commercial production.
Financial & Regulatory Risks
- Market & Financial Risks: Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (Japanese yen, euro, British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, Australian dollar) can impact operating results. Investments in marketable securities are subject to interest rate, liquidity, market, and issuer credit risks.
- Regulatory & Compliance Risks: Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval is costly, time-consuming, and uncertain. Serious complications or side effects from products or product candidates could lead to regulatory action. The Company is subject to extensive "fraud and abuse" laws (e.g., federal civil False Claims Act, anti-kickback provisions), transparency laws, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). Non-compliance can result in civil/criminal proceedings, investigations, penalties, and reputational damage.
- Credit & Liquidity: Indebtedness of $2.706 billion as of December 31, 2025, could limit future capital access and require substantial cash flow for payments.
Geopolitical & External Risks
- Geopolitical Exposure: Operations and clinical trials in countries like Russia, Ukraine, and Israel expose the Company to political and economic risks, including armed conflict and economic embargoes, which could delay clinical programs or disrupt supply chains.
- Trade Relations: Tariffs and other trade restrictions (e.g., U.S. tariffs on imports, potential pharmaceutical tariffs, BIOSECURE Act impacting China-based suppliers) could increase operating costs and materially adversely affect results.
- Sanctions & Export Controls: Compliance with sanctions (e.g., Office of Foreign Assets Control) and export controls can limit business activities and impact patent rights in certain regions (e.g., Russia).
Innovation & Technology Leadership
Research & Development Focus: Core Technology Areas:
- Trap Technology: Fuses receptor components to antibody molecules to create drugs like EYLEA HD, EYLEA, ZALTRAP, and ARCALYST.
- VelociSuite® Platform: Used for discovering, developing, and producing fully human antibodies, bispecific antibodies, antibody-protein fusions, and antibody conjugates. Includes VelocImmune® (for human antibodies), VelociGene® (for precise DNA manipulation and humanized targets), VelociMouse® (for genetically altered mice), VelociMab® (for rapid antibody screening), Veloci-Bi® (for full-length bispecific antibodies), VelociT® (for T-cell receptors and cell-mediated immunity), and VelociHum® (for immunodeficient mouse models).
- Genetic Medicine Platforms: Complementary approaches including siRNA gene silencing, genome editing, and targeted viral-based gene delivery and expression.
- Regeneron Genetics Center® (RGC®): Leverages de-identified clinical, genomic, proteomic, and molecular data from human volunteers to identify genetic factors influencing diseases, aiming to improve drug discovery and clinical care design.

Regulatory Environment & Compliance
Regulatory Framework: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is subject to extensive government regulation in the United States and other countries covering research, development, manufacture, and marketing of products. This includes preclinical requirements (Good Laboratory Practice requirements ("GLPs"), Animal Welfare Act), product approval processes (FDA, European Medicines Agency ("EMA"), Good Clinical Practice requirements ("GCPs"), Institutional Review Board ("IRB") oversight, New Drug Application ("NDA"), Biologics License Application ("BLA"), Marketing Authorization), and post-approval regulation (pharmacovigilance, Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") regulations, Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy ("REMS"), Drug Supply Chain Security Act).

Tax Strategy & Considerations
Tax Profile: Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The effective tax rate for 2025 was 13.9%, compared to 7.7% in 2024 and 5.9% in 2023. The 2025 rate was positively impacted by income earned in foreign jurisdictions with lower tax rates and federal tax credits for research activities, partially offset by the impact of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" ("OBBBA").
- Tax Reform Impact: The OBBBA, signed into law in July 2025, revises U.S. corporate income tax laws by restoring immediate expense recognition for U.S.-based R&D, making first-year bonus depreciation permanent, and modifying taxation on foreign earnings. This resulted in a $44.5 million charge in Q3 2025 related to the re-measurement of U.S. net deferred tax assets.
- Unrecognized Tax Benefits: Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits totaled $1,577.9 million as of December 31, 2025.
