| ^2^ | Merck is providing certain 2021 and 2020 non-GAAP information<br>that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance<br>and trends. Management believes that providing this information enhances investors’ understanding of the company’s results and permits investors to understand how management<br>assesses performance. Management uses these measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of<br>the company along with other metrics. In addition, senior management’s annual compensation is derived in part using non-GAAP pretax<br>income. This information should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared in accordance<br>with GAAP. For a description of the non-GAAP adjustments, see Table 2a attached to this release. |

Non-GAAP EPS of $1.31 for the second quarter of 2021 excludes acquisition- and divestiture-related costs, restructuring costs, income and losses from investments in equity securities, the charge related to Pandion and certain other items. Year-to-date results can be found in the attached tables.
Oncology Program Highlights
Merck continued to advance development programs across its oncology portfolio, anticipating greater than 90 potential new indications by 2028, including notable progress for KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab), the company’s anti-PD-1 therapy; Lynparza (olaparib), an oral poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, being co-developed and co-commercialized with AstraZeneca; and Lenvima (lenvatinib mesylate), an orally available tyrosine kinase inhibitor, being co-developed and co-commercialized with Eisai Co., Ltd. (Eisai).
| · | Merck announced the following regulatory milestones: |
|---|---|
| o | U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of KEYTRUDA in combination with chemotherapy as pre-operative (neoadjuvant) treatment<br>and then continuing as a single-agent (adjuvant) treatment after surgery in high-risk early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)<br>based on results from the pivotal Phase 3 KEYNOTE-522 trial. These results were presented during a European Society for Medical Oncology<br>Virtual Plenary session on July 15. |
| --- | --- |
| o | FDA approval of KEYTRUDA in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced<br>unresectable or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma<br>based on results from the ongoing Phase 3 KEYNOTE-811 trial. This is the first time an anti-PD-1 therapy has been approved in combination<br>with anti-HER2 therapy and chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for these patients. This accelerated approval is contingent upon verification<br>of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. |
| --- | --- |
Page 3
| o | FDA approval of KEYTRUDA as monotherapy for the treatment of patients with locally advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC)<br>that is not curable by surgery or radiation. This approval was based on results from the Phase 2 KEYNOTE-629 trial. |
|---|---|
| o | FDA approval of KEYTRUDA in combination with Lenvima for the treatment of certain patients with advanced endometrial carcinoma that<br>is not microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) or mismatch repair deficient (dMMR), who have disease progression following prior systemic<br>therapy in any setting and are not candidates for curative surgery or radiation. The approval was based on results from the confirmatory<br>pivotal Phase 3 KEYNOTE-775/Study 309 trial. |
| --- | --- |
| o | FDA priority review for KEYTRUDA in combination with Lenvima for the first-line treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma<br>(RCC) based on results from the pivotal Phase 3 CLEAR study (KEYNOTE-581/Study 307). The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) or target<br>action date is Aug. 26. |
| --- | --- |
| o | The FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee voted against maintaining accelerated approval of KEYTRUDA for the third-line treatment<br>of certain patients with gastric cancer. Merck announced a voluntary withdrawal of the accelerated approval indication for KEYTRUDA<br>for the treatment of patients with recurrent locally advanced or metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma with disease progression on<br>or after platinum-containing chemotherapy and at least one other prior line of therapy. As agreed with the FDA, Merck will initiate the<br>withdrawal in Jan. 2022. |
| --- | --- |
| o | European Commission (EC) approval of KEYTRUDA in combination with platinum- and fluoropyrimidine-based chemotherapy for the first-line<br>treatment of certain patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic carcinoma of the esophagus or HER2-negative GEJ adenocarcinoma<br>in adults whose tumors express PD-L1 (CPS>10), based on the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-590 trial. |
| --- | --- |
| o | Chinese National Medical Products Administration approval of Lynparza as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with germline<br>or somatic BRCA-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have progressed following prior treatment that<br>included a new hormonal agent (abiraterone, enzalutamide), based on data from the Phase 3 PROfound trial. |
| --- | --- |
Page 4
| · | Merck provided additional data presentations including: |
|---|---|
| o | Positive top-line overall survival (OS) results for the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-355 study evaluating KEYTRUDA in combination with chemotherapy<br>in patients with untreated metastatic triple-negative breast cancer whose tumors expressed PD-L1 (CPS>10). Data will be submitted<br>to global health authorities and will be presented at an upcoming medical meeting. |
| --- | --- |
| o | Results from the pivotal Phase 3 KEYNOTE-564 trial for the adjuvant treatment of certain patients with RCC at the 2021 American Society<br>of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. In the study, KEYTRUDA given after surgery demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically<br>meaningful reduction in the risk of disease recurrence or death compared to placebo. Results are being submitted to global regulatory<br>authorities and the trial will continue to evaluate OS, a key secondary endpoint. |
| --- | --- |
| o | Results from the pivotal Phase 3 KEYNOTE-826 trial investigating KEYTRUDA in combination with chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab,<br>confirming the trial met its dual primary endpoints of OS and progression-free survival (PFS) in the first-line treatment of patients<br>with persistent, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer regardless of PD-L1 status. Results will be presented at an upcoming medical<br>meeting and will be submitted to regulatory authorities. |
| --- | --- |
| o | Initial results presented by Merck and AstraZeneca from the Phase 3 OlympiA trial at the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting, in which Lynparza<br>demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in its primary endpoint of invasive disease-free survival versus placebo in the<br>adjuvant treatment of patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations and HER2-negative early breast cancer. Results will be submitted<br>to global regulatory authorities and the trial will continue to assess OS as a secondary endpoint. |
| --- | --- |
Vaccines Highlights
| · | Merck announced the FDA approval of VAXNEUVANCE (15-valent Pneumococcal<br>Conjugate Vaccine) for active immunization for the prevention of invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes<br>1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F and 33F in adults 18 years of age and older. |
|---|---|
| · | Merck presented new data from the pivotal Phase 3 PNEU-AGE study of VAXNEUVANCE<br>compared with a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in adults 50 years of age and older at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology &<br>Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) 2021. |
| --- | --- |
Page 5
| · | Merck announced VAXNEUVANCE met its primary immunogenicity and safety endpoints<br>in two trials from its Phase 3 pediatric clinical program. Plans are on track for submission of a supplemental regulatory licensure application<br>to the FDA for use in children before the end of the year. |
|---|
HIV Highlight
| · | Merck announced results from an ongoing Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating<br>the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of six monthly oral doses, over 24 weeks, of islatravir, the company’s investigational<br>nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor, versus placebo for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) of HIV-1 infection in adults<br>at low risk of contracting HIV-1. These data, which support the safety profile of an oral islatravir PrEP regimen through 24 weeks versus<br>placebo, were shared as a late-breaking oral presentation during the virtual 11^th^ International AIDS Society Conference on<br>HIV Science. |
|---|
Other Highlights
| · | The EC granted marketing authorization in the European<br>Union for Verquvo (vericiguat) for the treatment of symptomatic chronic heart failure in adult patients with reduced ejection fraction<br>who are stabilized after a recent decompensation event requiring intravenous therapy. Verquvo is being jointly developed by Merck and<br>Bayer AG. |

| · | The FDA has informed Merck of its decision to extend the goal date for the<br>company’s New Drug Application for gefapixant, an investigational, orally administered, selective P2X3 receptor antagonist, for<br>the treatment of refractory chronic cough or unexplained chronic cough in adults, to provide time for a full review of the submission.<br>The extended PDUFA action date is March 21, 2022. |
| --- | --- |
COVID-19 Highlights
| · | In April, Merck and Ridgeback Biotherapeutics LP announced top-line data<br>from the Phase 2 portion of the Phase 2/3 trials studying molnupiravir (MK-4482), which showed that<br>it inhibits the replication of multiple RNA viruses including SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. Data were presented<br>at ECCMID in July. Molnupiravir is now being evaluated in a Phase 3 clinical trial, the MOVe-OUT study, for the treatment of non-hospitalized<br>patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 and at least one risk factor associated with poor disease outcomes. |
|---|
Page 6
| · | In April, Merck announced that the company entered into non-exclusive voluntary<br>licensing agreements for molnupiravir with established Indian generic manufacturers. Merck entered into these agreements to accelerate<br>availability of molnupiravir in India and in other low- and middle-income countries following approvals or emergency authorization by<br>local regulatory agencies. |

*Alliance revenue for this product represents Merck’s share of profits, which are product sales net of cost of sales and commercialization costs.
**Other revenues are comprised primarily of third-party manufacturing sales and miscellaneous corporate revenues, including revenue-hedging activities. The revenue-hedging activities resulted in negative revenue in the second quarter of 2021.
Pharmaceutical Revenue
Second-quarter pharmaceutical sales increased 22% to $10.0 billion. Excluding the favorable effect of foreign exchange, sales grew by 18%, reflecting ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and strong underlying demand. The COVID-19 pandemic unfavorably affected sales in the second quarter of 2021 but to a lesser extent than in the second quarter of 2020. The estimated net favorable benefit of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic recovery to year-over-year sales growth was approximately $900 million.
Page 7
Growth in oncology was largely driven by higher sales of KEYTRUDA, which rose 23% to $4.2 billion in the quarter. Global sales growth of KEYTRUDA reflects continued strong momentum from the non-small-cell lung cancer indications as well as continued uptake in other indications, including adjuvant melanoma, RCC, bladder, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and MSI-H cancers. Also contributing to higher sales in oncology was a 39% rise in Lynparza alliance revenue, reflecting continued uptake in approved indications in the United States, Europe and China, as well as a 19% increase in Lenvima alliance revenue, driven primarily by higher demand in China.
Growth in vaccines for the second quarter was primarily driven by higher combined sales of GARDASIL [Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Types 6, 11, 16 and 18) Vaccine, Recombinant] and GARDASIL 9 (Human Papillomavirus 9-valent Vaccine, Recombinant). Second-quarter 2021 GARDASIL/GARDASIL 9 sales rebounded to $1.2 billion, growing 88%, primarily due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic recovery and strong underlying demand in the United States, as well as continued market uptake in certain ex-U.S. markets, including China, which also benefitted from increased supply.
Combined sales of pediatric vaccines VARIVAX (Varicella Virus Vaccine Live), a vaccine to help prevent chickenpox; PROQUAD (Measles, Mumps, Rubella and Varicella Virus Vaccine Live), a combination vaccine to help protect against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella; and M-M-R II (Measles, Mumps and Rubella Virus Vaccine Live), a vaccine to help prevent measles, mumps and rubella, for second-quarter 2021 rose 36% to $516 million driven primarily by the ongoing market recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
Growth in hospital acute care reflects higher demand globally for BRIDION (sugammadex) Injection 100 mg/mL, a medicine for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by rocuronium bromide or vecuronium bromide in adults and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older undergoing surgery, which rose 72% to $387 million attributable in part to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic recovery; and the continued uptake of PREVYMIS (letermovir), a medicine for prophylaxis (prevention) of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in adult CMV-seropositive recipients of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Growth in hospital acute care was partially offset by the suspension of sales of ZERBAXA (ceftolozane and tazobactam) for injection, a combination cephalosporin antibacterial and beta-lactamase inhibitor for the treatment of adults with certain bacterial infections, following a product recall in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Page 8
Sales of JANUVIA (sitagliptin) and JANUMET (sitagliptin and metformin HCI) decreased 6% in the quarter to $1.3 billion reflecting continued pricing pressure in the United States, partially offset by higher demand in certain international markets.
Animal Health Revenue
Animal Health sales totaled $1.5 billion for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 34% compared with the second quarter of 2020. Excluding the favorable effect from foreign exchange, Animal Health sales grew 27%. Sales growth reflects higher demand globally for companion animal products, driven by companion animal vaccines, as well as growth in parasiticide lines of products, including BRAVECTO (fluralaner). Sales growth in livestock products reflects higher demand for ruminant, swine and poultry products, as well as higher demand globally for Animal Health Intelligence products. The COVID-19 pandemic unfavorably affected Animal Health sales by approximately $100 million in the second quarter of 2020 but had no impact in the second quarter of 2021.

GAAP Expense, EPS and Related Information
Gross margin was 72.8% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 70.6% for the second quarter of 2020. The increase reflects lower acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and favorable product mix, partially offset by the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange, pricing pressure and higher manufacturing costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 9% compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase primarily reflects higher promotion and administrative costs, as well as the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange.
Research and development expenses were $4.3 billion in the second quarter of 2021 compared with $2.1 billion in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by a $1.7 billion charge for the acquisition of Pandion, as well as higher expenses related to clinical development, and increased investment in discovery research and early drug development.
Other (income) expense, net, was $103 million of income in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $387 million of income in the second quarter of 2020, primarily reflecting lower income from investments in equity securities in 2021 compared with 2020.
The effective income tax rate of 29.3% for the second quarter of 2021 reflects no tax benefit recognized on the Pandion acquisition charge.
GAAP EPS was $0.48 for the second quarter of 2021 compared with $0.92 for the second quarter of 2020.
Non-GAAP Expense, EPS and Related Information
Non-GAAP gross margin was 76.5% for the second quarter of 2021 compared to 77.1% for the second quarter of 2020. The decrease in non-GAAP gross margin reflects the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange, pricing pressure and higher manufacturing costs, partially offset by favorable product mix.
Non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.3 billion in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 11% compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase primarily reflects higher promotion and administrative costs, as well as the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange.
Page 10
Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $2.5 billion in the second quarter of 2021, a 20% increase compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase primarily reflects higher expenses related to clinical development, as well as increased investment in discovery research and early drug development.
Non-GAAP other (income) expense, net, was $38 million of expense in the second quarter of 2021 compared to $77 million of expense in the second quarter of 2020.
The non-GAAP effective income tax rate was 14.6% for the second quarter of 2021.
Non-GAAP EPS was $1.31 for the second quarter of 2021 compared with $1.02 for the second quarter of 2020.

Financial Outlook
Merck continues to experience strong global underlying demand across its business. Consequently, at mid-July 2021 exchange rates, Merck now expects sales growth of 12% to 14% in 2021 with full-year 2021 revenue estimated to be between $46.4 billion and $47.4 billion, including a positive impact from foreign exchange of less than 2%.
^4^ Includes the estimated tax impact on the reconciling items. In addition, the amount for full-year 2021 includes a $207 million net tax benefit related to the settlement of certain federal income tax matters.
Page 11
Merck continues to believe that global health systems and patients have largely adapted to the impacts of COVID-19 disease, and that while certain negative effects will persist, the trend will continue to improve. Merck now estimates that the pandemic will have a net unfavorable impact to 2021 revenues of less than 3%, all of which relates to the pharmaceutical segment.
Merck expects full-year 2021 GAAP EPS to be between $4.24 and $4.34.
Merck expects full-year 2021 non-GAAP EPS to be between $5.47 and $5.57, including a positive impact from foreign exchange of approximately 2%. The non-GAAP range excludes acquisition- and divestiture-related costs, costs related to restructuring programs, income and losses from investments in equity securities and certain other items.
For full-year 2021, Merck continues to expect the pandemic will have a negligible impact on operating expenses, as spending on the development of its COVID-19 antiviral program is expected to offset the favorable impact of lower spending in other areas due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Neither the sales nor the EPS guidance ranges provided above include the impact of the potential launch of Merck’s COVID-19 antiviral drug candidate, molnupiravir.
The following table summarizes the company’s full-year 2021 financial guidance.
| GAAP | Non-GAAP^2^ | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | $46.4 to $47.4 billion | $46.4 to $47.4 billion* |
| Operating expenses | Lower than 2020 by a mid-single digit rate | Higher than 2020 by a high-single digit rate |
| Effective tax rate | 14.5% to 15.5% | 14.5% to 15.5% |
| EPS** | $4.24 to $4.34 | $5.47 to $5.57 |
*The company does not have any non-GAAP adjustments to revenue.
**EPS guidance for 2021 assumes a share count (assuming dilution) of approximately 2.53 billion shares.

Only the line items that are affected by non-GAAP adjustments are shown.
Merck is providing certain non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing this information enhances investors’ understanding of the company’s results as it permits investors to understand how management assesses performance. Management uses these measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. In addition, senior management’s annual compensation is derived in part using non-GAAP pretax income. This information should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
^(1)^^^Amounts included in cost of sales primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in selling, general and administrative expenses reflect acquisition and divestiture-related costs. Amounts included in research and development expenses primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in other (income) expense, net, for the second quarter and six months period primarily reflect an increase in the estimated fair value measurement of liabilities for contingent consideration related to the termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture and a loss on a forward exchange contract entered into in conjunction with the Organon spinoff. Amount included in other (income) expense, net, for the six month period is partially offset by royalty income related to the termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture.
^(2)^^^Amounts primarily include employee separation costs and accelerated depreciation associated with facilities to be closed or divested related to activities under the company's formal restructuring programs.
^(3)^ Represents charges for the discontinuation of COVID-19 development programs.
^(4)^ Includes a $1.7 billion charge for the acquisition of Pandion Therapeutics, Inc.
^(5)^ Represent the estimated tax impacts on the reconciling items based on applying the statutory rate of the originating territory of the non-GAAP adjustments.

^(1)^ Because the company recorded a net loss in the fourth quarter of 2020, no potential dilutive common shares were used in the computation of loss per common share assuming dilution as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Income from discontinued operations was also computed using average common shares outstanding.

Only the line items that are affected by non-GAAP adjustments are shown.
Merck is providing certain non-GAAP information that excludes certain items because of the nature of these items and the impact they have on the analysis of underlying business performance and trends. Management believes that providing this information enhances investors’ understanding of the company’s results as it permits investors to understand how management assesses performance. Management uses these measures internally for planning and forecasting purposes and to measure the performance of the company along with other metrics. In addition, senior management’s annual compensation is derived in part using non-GAAP pretax income. This information should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
^(1)^Amounts included in cost of sales primarily reflect expenses for the amortization of intangible assets. Amounts included in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses reflect acquisition and divestiture-related costs, including $95 million of transaction costs in the six month period related to the acquisition of Arqule, Inc. Amounts included in research and development expenses primarily reflect a reduction in expenses related to a decrease in the estimated fair value measurement of liabilities for contingent consideration. Amounts included in other (income) expense, net, primarily reflect costs related to increases in the estimated fair value measurement of liabilities for contingent consideration, partially offset by royalty income related to the termination of the Sanofi-Pasteur MSD joint venture.
^(2)^Amounts primarily include employee separation costs and accelerated depreciation associated with facilities to be closed or divested related to activities under the company's formal restructuring programs.
^(3)^Represent the estimated tax impacts on the reconciling items based on applying the statutory rate of the originating territory of the non-GAAP adjustments.
