Filed November 5, 2019For Securities:REGN

Summary

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported strong revenue growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, with total revenues reaching $5.7 billion, a 19% increase year-over-year. This growth was primarily driven by robust net product sales, notably EYLEA, which saw a 12% increase globally, and significant gains in Dupixent, Praluent, and Kevzara driven by collaboration revenue. Net income for the period was $1.32 billion, a decrease compared to the prior year, largely due to a substantial $400 million upfront payment made to Alnylam for a new collaboration and increased research and development expenses. Despite the decrease in net income, the company maintained a healthy cash position and a positive cash flow from operations.
