Key performance elements for H1 2025

(Growth numbers at constant exchange rates)

‒	Total Revenue up 11% to $28,045m, driven by double-digit growth in Oncology and BioPharmaceuticals
‒	Growth in Total Revenue across all major geographic regions
---	---
‒	Core Operating profit increased 13%
---	---
‒	Core EPS increased 17% to $4.66
---	---
‒	12 positive Phase III readouts and 19 approvals in major regions
---	---
‒	Interim dividend increased 3% to $1.03 (76.7 pence, 9.81 SEK)
---	---

Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca, said:

“Our strong momentum in revenue growth continued through the first half of the year and the delivery from our broad and diverse pipeline has been excellent, with 12 positive key Phase III trial readouts including for baxdrostat, gefurulimab, and Tagrisso in just the past few weeks.

As we enter our next phase of growth, we have pledged $50 billion to continue to grow in the US, which includes the largest manufacturing investment in AstraZeneca's history, set for Virginia. This landmark investment reflects not only America's importance but also our confidence in our innovative medicines to transform global health and power AstraZeneca's ambition to deliver $80 billion revenue by 2030.”

Guidance

AstraZeneca reiterates its Total Revenue and Core EPS guidance^4^ for FY 2025 at CER, based on the average foreign exchange rates through 2024.

Total Revenue is expected to increase by a high single-digit percentage

Core EPS is expected to increase by a low double-digit percentage

The Core Tax rate is expected to be between 18-22%

If foreign exchange rates for July 2025 to December 2025 were to remain at the average rates seen in June 2025, it is anticipated that FY 2025 Total Revenue growth and Core EPS growth would be broadly similar to the growth at CER (previously a low single-digit percentage adverse impact was anticipated)

Corporate and business development

CSPC

In June 2025, AstraZeneca entered a strategic research collaboration with Shijiazhuang City-based CSPC Pharmaceuticals Group Limited to discover and develop pre-clinical candidates for multiple targets with the potential to treat diseases across chronic indications, including a pre-clinical small molecule oral therapy for immunological diseases. CSPC’s research will utilise its AI-driven, dual-engine efficient drug discovery platform.

CSPC will receive an upfront payment of $110m, of which $60m has been capitalised as an Intangible asset, and is also eligible to receive up to $1.62bn in potential development milestone payments and up to $3.6bn in sales milestone payments, plus potential single-digit royalties based on annual net sales of the products.

AstraZeneca will have rights to exercise options for exclusive licenses to develop and commercialise worldwide candidates identified under this agreement.

EsoBiotec

In May 2025, AstraZeneca completed the acquisition of EsoBiotec, a biotechnology company pioneering in vivo cell therapies that has demonstrated promising early clinical activity. The EsoBiotec Engineered NanoBody Lentiviral (ENaBL) platform uses highly targeted lentiviruses to deliver genetic instructions to specific immune cells, with potential use in oncology and immune-mediated diseases.

AstraZeneca has acquired all outstanding equity of EsoBiotec for a total consideration of up to $1bn, on a cash and debt free basis. This includes an initial payment of $403m, and up to $575m in contingent consideration based on development and regulatory milestones. 5

US investment plans

In July 2025, AstraZeneca announced plans to invest $50bn in US manufacturing and R&D by 2030.

The cornerstone of this landmark investment is a new multi-billion dollar US manufacturing facility that will produce drug substances for the Company’s innovative weight management and metabolic portfolio, including oral GLP-1, baxdrostat, oral PCSK9 and combination small molecule products.

The drug substance facility, planned to be in the Commonwealth of Virginia, would be AstraZeneca’s largest single manufacturing investment in the world. The facility will leverage AI, automation, and data analytics to optimise production.

Sustainability highlights

AstraZeneca introduced an updated Sustainability strategy which focuses on the Company’s sustainability impact and how it does business. This strategy evolution recognises the connection between business growth and the need to address the major health challenges of our time, and aims to support the health of people, society and the planet.

Reporting calendar

The Company intends to publish its 9M and Q3 2025 results on 6 November 2025.

Conference call

A conference call and webcast for investors and analysts will begin today, 29 July 2025, at 14:00 UK time. Details can be accessed via astrazeneca.com.

Reporting changes since FY 2024

Product Revenue

Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has updated the presentation of Total Revenue on the face of the Statement of Comprehensive Income to include a new subtotal ‘Product Revenue’ representing the summation of Product Sales and Alliance Revenue.

Product Revenue and Collaboration Revenue form Total Revenue.

Product Sales and Alliance Revenue will continue to be presented separately, with the new subtotal providing additional aggregation of revenue types with similar characteristics, reflecting the growing importance of Alliance Revenue.

Full descriptions of Product Sales, Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue are included from page 152 of the Group's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024.

Gross Margin

Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has replaced the measure of ‘Product Sales Gross Margin’ with the measure of ‘Gross Margin’. Previously, the measure excluded margin related to Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue. The new measure is calculated using Gross profit as a percentage of Total Revenue, thereby encompassing all revenue categories, and is intended to provide a more comprehensive measure of total performance.

Notes

1.	Constant exchange rates. The differences between Actual Change and CER Change are due to foreign exchange movements between periods in 2025 vs. 2024. CER financial measures are not accounted for according to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) because they remove the effects of currency movements from Reported results.
2.	Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has updated its presentation of Total Revenue, adding a new subtotal of Product Revenue, the sum of Product Sales and Alliance revenue. For further details, see Note 1: ‘Basis of preparation and accounting policy’ in the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements.
---	---
3.	Core financial measures are adjusted to exclude certain items. The differences between Reported and Core measures are primarily due to costs relating to the amortisation of intangibles, impairments, legal settlements and restructuring charges. A full reconciliation between Reported EPS and Core EPS is provided in Table 9 in the Financial Performance section of this document.
---	---
4.	The Company is unable to provide guidance on a Reported basis because it cannot reliably forecast material elements of the Reported results, including any fair value adjustments arising on acquisition-related liabilities, intangible asset impairment charges and legal settlement provisions. Please refer to the cautionary statements section regarding forward-looking statements at the end of this announcement.
---	---
5.	Effective 1 January 2025, the Group has updated its presentation of Gross Margin. For further details, see Note 1: ‘Basis of preparation and accounting policy’ in the Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
---	---
6.	Income from disposals of assets and businesses, where the Group does not retain a significant ongoing economic interest, is recorded in Other operating income and expense in the Group’s financial statements.

Profit and Loss drivers

Gross profit

The stable Gross Margin (Reported and Core) in H1 2025 was a result of:

–	Positive effects from geographic mix
–	Negative effects from product mix. The rising contribution of Product Sales with profit sharing arrangements (Lynparza, Enhertu, Tezspire, Koselugo) has a negative impact on Gross Margin because AstraZeneca records Product Sales in certain markets and pays away a share of the gross profits to its collaboration partners. The profit share paid to partners is recorded in AstraZeneca’s Cost of sales line
---	---
–	Pricing adjustments, for example to sales reimbursed by the Medicare Part D programme in the US, diluted the Gross Margin.
---	---

Variations in Gross Margin performance between periods can continue to be expected due to product seasonality, foreign exchange fluctuations, and other effects.

R&D expense

The change in R&D expense (Reported and Core) in the period was impacted by:

–	Positive data read-outs for high-value pipeline opportunities that have ungated late-stage trials
–	Investment in platforms, new technology and capabilities to enhance R&D capabilities
---	---
–	Addition of R&D projects following completion of previously announced business development activity
---	---

SG&A expense

–	The change in SG&A expense (Reported and Core) in the period was driven primarily by market development activities for launches and to support continued growth in existing brands

Other operating income and expense

–	Other operating income in H1 2025 consisted primarily of royalties and an upfront fee on a divestment

Net finance expense

Core Net finance expense decreased 3% (1% at CER) in H1 2025, mainly driven by an adjustment of interest on tax, due to a reduction of tax liabilities relating to prior periods, recognised in the first quarter.

Core Net finance expense increased 6% (9% at CER) in Q2 2025, mainly driven by a reduction in short-term deposits. 24

Taxation

The effective Reported and Core tax rates for the six months to 30 June 2025 were 18% (H1 2024: 21% and 20% respectively).

These tax rates benefited from a reduction of tax liabilities arising from updates to estimates of prior period tax liabilities following settlements with tax authorities in Q1 2025.

The cash tax paid for the six months ended 30 June 2025 was $1,549m (H1 2024: $1,337m), representing 24% of Reported Profit before tax (H1 2024: 26%).

Dividend

The interim dividend declared with H1 2025 results increased by 3% to $1.03.

Net cash (outflow)/inflow from financing activities	****	(2,189)	****	806	****	(2,995)

Net cash flow

The change in Net cash inflow from operating activities of $1,528m is primarily driven by the increased operating profit in 2025.

The change in Net cash inflow before financing activities of $3,452m is primarily driven by the reduction in cash outflow relating to the Acquisitions of subsidiaries, net of cash acquired of $2,771m, which in 2024 related to the acquisition of Gracell Biotechnologies Inc. and the acquisition of Fusion Pharmaceuticals Inc.

The change in Net cash (outflow)/inflow from financing activities of $2,995m is primarily driven by the issue of new long-term loans of $4,976m in 2024, with no issuance in 2025, and offset by the repayment of loans of $2,643m in 2024, with no repayment in 2025.

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets amounted to $1,303m in H1 2025 (H1 2024: $903m). The increase of capital expenditure in 2025 was driven by investment in several major manufacturing projects and continued investment in technology upgrades.

Net debt

Net debt increased by $657m in the six months to 30 June 2025 to $25,227m. Details of the committed undrawn bank facilities are disclosed within the going concern section of Note 1. Details of the Company's solicited credit ratings and further details on Net debt are disclosed in Note 3. 25

Each series of AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes has been fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AstraZeneca PLC. AstraZeneca Finance is 100% owned by AstraZeneca PLC and each of the guarantees issued by AstraZeneca PLC is full and unconditional and joint and several.

The AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes are senior unsecured obligations of AstraZeneca Finance and rank equally with all of AstraZeneca Finance's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The guarantee by AstraZeneca PLC of the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes is the senior unsecured obligation of AstraZeneca PLC and ranks equally with all of AstraZeneca PLC's existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Each guarantee by AstraZeneca PLC is effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of AstraZeneca PLC to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes are structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of the subsidiaries of AstraZeneca PLC, none of which guarantee the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes.

AstraZeneca PLC manages substantially all of its operations through divisions, branches and/or investments in subsidiaries and affiliates. Accordingly, the ability of AstraZeneca PLC to service its debt and guarantee obligations is also dependent upon the earnings of its subsidiaries, affiliates, branches and divisions, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or otherwise. Please refer to the Consolidated financial statements of AstraZeneca PLC in our Annual Report on Form 20-F as filed with the SEC and information contained herein for further financial information regarding AstraZeneca PLC and its consolidated subsidiaries. For further details, terms and conditions of the AstraZeneca Finance USD Notes please refer to AstraZeneca PLC's reports on Form 6-K furnished to the SEC on 22 February 2024, 3 March 2023 and 28 May 2021.

Pursuant to Rule 13-01 and Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ”Securities Act”), we present below the summary financial information for AstraZeneca PLC, as Guarantor, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries, and AstraZeneca Finance, as the issuer, excluding its consolidated subsidiaries. The following summary financial information of AstraZeneca PLC and AstraZeneca Finance is presented on a combined basis and transactions between the combining entities have been eliminated. Financial information for non-guarantor entities has been excluded. Intercompany balances and transactions between the obligor group and the non-obligor subsidiaries are presented on separate lines. 26

Capital allocation

The Group’s capital allocation priorities include: investing in the business and pipeline; maintaining a strong, investment-grade credit rating; potential value-enhancing business development opportunities; and supporting the progressive dividend policy.

In approving the declaration of dividends, the Board considers both the liquidity of the company and the level of reserves legally available for distribution.

In FY 2025, the Company intends to increase the annual dividend per share declared to $3.20 per share. Dividends are paid to shareholders from AstraZeneca PLC, a Group holding company with no direct operations. The ability of AstraZeneca PLC to make shareholder distributions is dependent on the creation of profits for distribution and the receipt of funds from subsidiary companies.

The consolidated Group reserves set out in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position do not reflect the profit available for distribution to the shareholders of AstraZeneca PLC.

In FY 2024, capital expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets amounted to $2,218m. In FY 2025 the Group expects to increase expenditure on tangible assets and Software-related intangible assets by approximately 50%, driven by manufacturing expansion projects and investments in systems and technology.

Foreign exchange

The Company's transactional currency exposures on working capital balances, which typically extend for up to three months, are hedged where practicable using forward foreign exchange contracts against the individual companies' reporting currency. In addition, the Company's external dividend payments, paid principally in pound sterling and Swedish krona, are fully hedged from the time of their announcement to the payment date. Foreign exchange gains and losses on forward contracts transacted for transactional hedging are taken to profit or to Other comprehensive income if the contract is in a designated cashflow hedge. 27

Independent review report to AstraZeneca PLC

Report on the Interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed AstraZeneca PLC’s Interim financial statements (the “Interim financial statements”) in the H1 and Q2 2025 results of AstraZeneca PLC for the six month period ended 30 June 2025 (the “period”).

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (IAS 34), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union, UK-adopted IAS 34, and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority.

The Interim financial statements comprise:

–	the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025;
–	the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income: H1 2025 for the period then ended;
---	---
–	the Condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period then ended;
---	---
–	the Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows: H1 2025 for the period then ended; and
---	---
–	the explanatory notes to the Interim financial statements.
---	---

The Interim financial statements included in the H1 and Q2 2025 results of AstraZeneca PLC have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' (IAS 34), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union, UK-adopted IAS 34, and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority. ****

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410, ‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the United Kingdom (“ISRE (UK) 2410”). A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. We have read the other information contained in the H1 and Q2 2025 results and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the Interim financial statements.

Conclusions relating to going concern

Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed. This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern. 35

Responsibilities for the Interim financial statements and the review

Our responsibilities and those of the directors

The H1 and Q2 2025 results, including the Interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the H1 and Q2 2025 results in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority. In preparing the H1 and Q2 2025 results, including the Interim financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Interim financial statements in the H1 and Q2 2025 results based on our review. Our conclusion, including our Conclusions relating to going concern, is based on procedures that are less extensive than audit procedures, as described in the Basis for conclusion paragraph of this report. This report, including the conclusion, has been prepared for and only for the company for the purpose of complying with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this conclusion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Notes to the Interim financial statements

Note 1: Basis of preparation and accounting policies

These unaudited Interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ (IAS 34), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union, UK-adopted IAS 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards.

The unaudited Interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 were approved by the Board of Directors for publication on 29 July 2025.

This results announcement does not constitute statutory accounts of the Group within the meaning of sections 434(3) and 435(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024 were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The annual financial statements also comply fully with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB and International Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Except for the estimation of the interim income tax charge, the Interim financial statements have been prepared applying the accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of the Group’s published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 are not the Group’s statutory accounts for that financial year. Those accounts have been reported on by the Group’s auditors and will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies; their report was (i) unqualified, (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report, and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.

Product Revenue

Product Revenue and Collaboration Revenue form Total Revenue.

Full descriptions of Product Sales, Alliance Revenue and Collaboration Revenue are included from page 152 of the Group’s Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024.

There are no changes to the Revenue accounting policy regarding the types of transactions recorded in each revenue category. The comparative period has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the additional subtotal, resulting in total Product Revenue being reported for the half year ended 30 June 2024 of $25,568m.

Going concern

The Group has considerable financial resources available. As at 30 June 2025, the Group has $11.9bn in financial resources (cash and cash equivalent balances of $7.1bn and undrawn committed bank facilities of $4.9bn that are available until April 2030), with $6.9bn of borrowings due within one year. These facilities contain no financial covenants.

The Group has assessed the prospects of the Group over a period longer than the required 12 months from the date of Board approval of these consolidated financial statements, with no deterioration noted requiring a further extension of this review. The Group's revenues are largely derived from sales of medicines covered by patents, which provide a relatively high level of resilience and predictability to cash inflows, although government price interventions in response to budgetary constraints are expected to continue to adversely affect revenues in some of our significant markets. The Group, however, anticipates new revenue streams from both recently launched medicines and those in development, and the Group has a wide diversity of customers and suppliers across different geographic areas. 37

Consequently, the Directors believe that, overall, the Group is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Interim financial statements.

Legal proceedings

The information contained in Note 5 updates the disclosures concerning legal proceedings and contingent liabilities in the Group’s Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024.

Note 2: Intangible assets

The acquisition of EsoBiotec completed on 19 May 2025. The transaction is recorded as an asset acquisition based upon the concentration test permitted under IFRS 3 ‘Business Combinations’, with consideration and net assets acquired of $403m, which included intangible assets acquired of $426m, current payables of $29m, $4m of cash and cash equivalents and current receivables of $2m. Contingent consideration of up to $575m could be paid on achievement of regulatory milestones, those liabilities will be recorded when the relevant regulatory milestone is achieved.

All values are in US Dollars.

The table above provides an analysis of Net debt and a reconciliation of Net cash flow to the movement in Net debt. The Group monitors Net debt as part of its capital management policy as described in Note 28 of the Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024. Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure.

Net debt increased by $657m in the six months to 30 June 2025 to $25,227m.

Details of the committed undrawn bank facilities are disclosed within the going concern section of Note 1. Non-cash movements in the period include fair value adjustments under IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’.

The Group has agreements with some bank counterparties whereby the parties agree to post cash collateral on financial derivatives, for the benefit of the other, equivalent to the market valuation of the derivative positions above a predetermined threshold. The carrying value of such cash collateral held by the Group at 30 June 2025 was $435m (31 December 2024: $181m) and the carrying value of such cash collateral posted by the Group at 30 June 2025 was $32m (31 December 2024: $129m).

The equivalent GAAP measure to Net debt is ‘liabilities arising from financing activities’, which excludes the amounts for cash and overdrafts, other investments and non-financing derivatives shown.

During the six months ended 30 June 2025, Moody’s upgraded the Group’s solicited long term credit rating to A1 from A2, which occurred during Q1 2025. The short term rating remained at P-1. There were no changes to Standard and Poor’s credit ratings (long term: A+; short term: A-1). 38

Note 4: Financial Instruments

As detailed in the Group’s most recent annual financial statements, the principal financial instruments consist of derivative financial instruments, other investments, trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, lease liabilities and interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

The Group has certain equity investments that are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy that are held at $523m (31 December 2024: $353m) and for which a fair value loss of $35m has been recognised in the six months ended 30 June 2025 (H1 2024: fair value gain of $1m). In the absence of specific market data, these unlisted investments are held at fair value based on the cost of investment and adjusted as necessary for impairments and revaluations on new funding rounds, which are seen to approximate the fair value. All other fair value gains and/or losses that are presented in Net gains/(losses) on equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, in the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended 30 June 2025 are Level 1 fair value measurements, valued based on quoted prices in active markets.

Financial instruments measured at fair value include $1,880m of other investments, $5,597m held in money-market funds and $504m of derivatives as at 30 June 2025. With the exception of derivatives being Level 2 fair valued, and certain equity instruments of $523m categorised as Level 3, the aforementioned balances are Level 1 fair valued. Financial instruments measured at amortised cost include $32m of cash collateral pledged to counterparties. The total fair value of Interest-bearing loans and borrowings as at 30 June 2025, which have a carrying value of $32,839m in the Condensed consolidated statement of financial position, was $32,203m.

Contingent consideration arising from business combinations is fair valued using decision-tree analysis, with key inputs including the probability of success, consideration of potential delays and the expected levels of future revenues.

The contingent consideration balance relating to BMS’s share of the global diabetes alliance of $782m (31 December 2024: $1,309m) would increase/decrease by $78m with an increase/decrease in sales of 10%, as compared with the current estimates.

Note 5: Legal proceedings and contingent liabilities

AstraZeneca is involved in various legal proceedings considered typical to its business, including litigation and investigations, including Government investigations, relating to product liability, commercial disputes, infringement of intellectual property (IP) rights, the validity of certain patents, anti-trust law and sales and marketing practices. The matters discussed below constitute the more significant developments since publication of the disclosures concerning legal proceedings in AstraZeneca's Annual Report and Form 20-F Information 2024 (the Disclosures). Information about the nature and facts of the cases is disclosed in accordance with IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’.

As discussed in the Disclosures, the majority of claims involve highly complex issues. Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of a loss, if any, being sustained and/or an estimate of the amount of any loss is difficult to ascertain.

In cases that have been settled or adjudicated, or where quantifiable fines and penalties have been assessed and which are not subject to appeal, or where a loss is probable and we are able to make a reasonable estimate of the loss, AstraZeneca records the loss absorbed or makes a provision for its best estimate of the expected loss. The position could change over time and the estimates that the Group made, and upon which the Group have relied in calculating these provisions are inherently imprecise. There can, therefore, be no assurance that any losses that result from the outcome of any legal proceedings will not exceed the amount of the provisions that have been booked in the accounts. The major factors causing this uncertainty are described more fully in the Disclosures and herein.

AstraZeneca has full confidence in, and will vigorously defend and enforce, its IP.

Matters disclosed in respect of the second quarter of 2025 and to 29 July 2025
