AMGEN INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2015
(Unaudited)

1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Business
Amgen Inc. (including its subsidiaries, referred to as “Amgen,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a global biotechnology pioneer that discovers, develops, manufactures and delivers innovative human therapeutics. We operate in one business segment: human therapeutics.
Basis of presentation
The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated), which Amgen considers necessary for a fair presentation of its condensed consolidated results of operations for those periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015.
Principles of consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amgen as well as its majority-owned subsidiaries. We do not have any significant interests in any variable interest entities. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Property, plant and equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $7.3 billion and $7.0 billion as of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, a new accounting standard was issued that amends the guidance for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers to transfer goods and services. This new standard, as originally issued, would be effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2017, and would be required to be adopted using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption not permitted. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board voted to delay the required date of adoption of this standard by one year and allow early adoption, but not before the original effective date of January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact that this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, a new accounting standard was issued that amends the presentation for debt issuance costs. Upon adoption of the standard, such costs shall be presented on our consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability and not as a deferred charge presented in Other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. This new standard will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2016, and is required to be retrospectively adopted. Adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets or related disclosures.
2. Restructuring
During the second half of 2014, we initiated a restructuring plan to invest in continuing innovation and the launch of our new pipeline molecules, while improving our cost structure. As part of the plan, we are closing our facilities in Washington State and Colorado and reducing the number of buildings we occupy at our headquarters in Thousand Oaks, California, as well as at other locations.

5


We continue to estimate that $935 million to $1,035 million of pre-tax charges will be incurred in connection with our restructuring plan, including: (i) separation and other headcount-related costs of $535 million to $585 million with respect to staff reductions, and (ii) asset-related charges of $400 million to $450 million consisting primarily of asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and other related costs resulting from the consolidation of our worldwide facilities. A total of $478 million of separation and other headcount-related costs and $235 million of asset-related charges were incurred through June 30, 2015.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred $63 million and $155 million, respectively, of restructuring costs. We expect that most of the remaining estimated costs, as discussed above, will be incurred during the remainder of 2015 to support our ongoing transformation and process improvement efforts.
The following tables summarize recorded charges related to the restructuring plan by type of activity and the locations recognized within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (in millions):

Asset impairment and accelerated depreciation charges were recognized in connection with our decision to exit Boulder and Longmont, Colorado, Bothell and Seattle, Washington and the consolidation of facilities in Thousand Oaks, California. The decision to close these manufacturing and research and development (R&D) facilities was based principally on optimizing the utilization of our sites in the United States, which includes an expansion of our presence in the key U.S. biotechnology hubs of South San Francisco, California and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

3. Income taxes
The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, were 17.2% and 15.4%, respectively, compared with 12.0% and 11.5% for the corresponding periods of the prior year. The effective rates are different from the federal statutory rates primarily as a result of indefinitely reinvested earnings of our foreign operations. We do not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of our foreign operations that are intended to be invested indefinitely outside of the United States. In addition, the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, were reduced by foreign tax credits associated with the Puerto Rico excise tax described below.
The increase in our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015, was due primarily to the unfavorable tax impact of changes in the jurisdictional mix of income and expenses.
The increase in our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015, was due primarily to the unfavorable tax impact of changes in the jurisdictional mix of income and expenses, offset partially by a state tax audit settlement in the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Puerto Rico imposes an excise tax on the gross intercompany purchase price of goods and services from our manufacturing subsidiary in Puerto Rico. The rate is 4.0% effective July 1, 2013, through December 31, 2017. We account for the excise tax as a manufacturing cost that is capitalized in inventory and expensed in cost of sales when the related products are sold. For U.S. income tax purposes, the excise tax results in foreign tax credits that are generally recognized in our provision for income taxes when the excise tax is incurred.
One or more of our legal entities file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and certain foreign jurisdictions. Our income tax returns are routinely audited by the tax authorities in those jurisdictions. Significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of income and deductions, the use of tax credits and the allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions because of differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for years ended on or before December 31, 2009, or to California state income tax examinations for years ended on or before December 31, 2008.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the gross amount of our unrecognized tax benefits (UTBs) increased by approximately $110 million and $210 million, respectively, as a result of tax positions taken during the current year. The UTB balance decreased by approximately $70 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, due to state tax audit settlements. Substantially all of the UTBs as of June 30, 2015, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate.
4. Earnings per share
The computation of basic earnings per share (EPS) is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of our common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares, which include principally shares that may be issued under our stock option awards and restricted stock and performance unit awards, determined using the treasury stock method (collectively “dilutive securities”).
The computations for basic and diluted EPS were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

5. Collaborative arrangements
A collaborative arrangement is a contractual arrangement that involves a joint operating activity. These arrangements involve two or more parties who are both: (i) active participants in the activity; and (ii) exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activity.
From time to time, we enter into collaborative arrangements for the R&D, manufacture and/or commercialization of products and/or product candidates. These collaborations generally provide for non-refundable upfront license fees, development and commercial performance milestone payments, cost sharing, royalty payments and/or profit sharing. Our collaboration agreements are performed with no guarantee of either technological or commercial success and each is unique in nature. Below are our significant arrangements which have had material changes in their terms since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
AstraZeneca Plc.
We are in a collaboration with AstraZeneca Plc. (AstraZeneca) to jointly develop and commercialize certain antibodies from Amgen's clinical inflammation portfolio, including AMG 157, AMG 181, AMG 557 and AMG 570. The agreement covers the worldwide development and commercialization of these antibodies, except for AMG 557 and AMG 570 in Japan. AMG 139 and brodalumab were formerly part of the collaboration in certain territories. As of April 1, 2015, we have suspended our participation in the co-development and commercialization of AMG 139, with the option of resuming such participation at a later date. As of May 22, 2015, we have commenced termination of our participation in the co-development and commercialization of brodalumab based on events of suicidal ideation and behavior in the program.
Under the terms of the agreement, approximately 65% of related development costs for the 2012-2014 periods were funded by AstraZeneca; beginning in 2015, the companies share costs equally. For each remaining collaboration product approved for sale, Amgen would receive a mid-single-digit royalty, after which the worldwide commercialization profits and losses related to such remaining collaboration products would be shared equally. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, cost recoveries recognized for development costs, which included brodalumab and AMG 139, were $3 million and $39 million, respectively, which were included in Research and development expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the cost recoveries were $23 million and $49 million, respectively.
After Amgen's participation in the brodalumab program terminates under the agreement, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2015, the clinical development and commercialization of brodalumab will be at the sole discretion and expense of AstraZeneca. If AstraZeneca commercializes brodalumab, Amgen would receive a mid-single-digit to low-double-digit royalty on net sales of brodalumab.
The collaboration agreement will continue in effect unless terminated in accordance with its terms.

We are in a collaboration with Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Bayer) to jointly develop and commercialize Nexavar® (sorafenib) worldwide, except in Japan. The rights to develop and market Nexavar® in Japan are reserved to Bayer. Bayer has no obligation to pay royalties to Amgen for sales of Nexavar® in Japan.    
Nexavar® is currently marketed and sold in more than 100 countries around the world for the treatment of unresectable liver cancer and advanced kidney cancer. In the United States, Nexavar® is also approved for the treatment of patients with locally recurrent or metastatic, progressive, differentiated thyroid carcinoma refractory to radioactive iodine treatment.
In May 2015, we and Bayer amended the terms of the collaboration, which terminated the co-promotion agreement in the United States. The termination was effective as of June 30, 2015 and transferred all U.S. operational responsibilities to Bayer, including commercial and medical affairs activities. Prior to the termination of the co-promotion agreement, we co-promoted Nexavar® with Bayer and shared equally in the profits or losses in the United States. In lieu of this profit share, Bayer will now pay Amgen a royalty on U.S. sales of Nexavar® at a percentage rate in the high 30s. Amgen will no longer contribute sales force personnel or medical liaisons to support Nexavar® in the United States. There are no changes to the global research and development or non-U.S. profit share arrangements in the original agreement, as discussed below.
In all countries outside of the United States, excluding Japan, Bayer manages all commercialization activities and incurs all of the sales and marketing expenditures and mutually agreed R&D expenses, for which we continue to reimburse Bayer for half. In these countries, we continue to receive 50% of net profits on sales of Nexavar® after deducting certain Bayer-related costs.
The collaboration with Bayer will terminate at the later of the date when patents expire that were issued in connection with product candidates discovered under the agreement, or on the last day when we or Bayer market or sell collaboration products anywhere in the world.

The amendment to the collaboration is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations. Prior to the amendment, Amgen was acting as an agent under the collaboration and as such, revenue was derived by calculating net sales of Nexavar® to third-party customers and deducting the cost of goods sold, distribution costs, marketing costs, phase 4 clinical trial costs, allocable overhead costs and certain other costs. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, Amgen recorded net Nexavar® collaboration profits of $84 million and $87 million, respectively, which were recognized as Other revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the net collaboration profits were $156 million and $165 million, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, net R&D expenses related to the collaboration were $7 million and $10 million, respectively, which were recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the net R&D expenses were $12 million and $21 million, respectively.

The primary objective of our investment portfolio is to enhance overall returns in an efficient manner while maintaining safety of principal, prudent levels of liquidity and acceptable levels of risk. Our investment policy limits interest-bearing security investments to certain types of debt and money market instruments issued by institutions with primarily investment-grade credit ratings and places restrictions on maturities and concentration by asset class and issuer.
We review our available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below our cost basis each quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of an asset may not be recoverable. This evaluation is based on a number of factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below our cost basis and adverse conditions related specifically to the security, including any changes to the credit rating of the security, and the intent to sell, or whether we will more likely than not be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Our assessment of whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired could change in the future due to new developments or changes in assumptions related to any particular security. As of June 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, we believe the cost bases for our available-for-sale investments were recoverable in all material respects.

Developed product technology rights consist of rights related to marketed products acquired in business combinations. Licensing rights are composed primarily of contractual rights acquired in business combinations to receive future milestones, royalties and profit sharing payments, capitalized payments to third parties for milestones related to regulatory approvals to commercialize products and up-front payments associated with royalty obligations for marketed products. R&D technology rights consist of technology used in R&D with alternative future uses. Marketing-related intangible assets are composed primarily of rights related to the sale and distribution of marketed products.
In-process research and development (IPR&D) consists of R&D projects acquired in a business combination which are not complete due to remaining technological risks and/or lack of receipt of the required regulatory approvals. These projects include Kyprolis® (carfilzomib) for Injection and oprozomib acquired in the acquisition of Onyx Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Onyx), AMG 416

acquired in the acquisition of KAI Pharmaceuticals and talimogene laherparepvec acquired in the acquisition of BioVex Group, Inc. (BioVex).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reviewing our talimogene laherparepvec Biologics License Application (BLA) for the treatment of patients with injectable regionally or distantly metastatic melanoma. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date for completion of the FDA's review is October 27, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the carrying value of the IPR&D for talimogene laherparepvec was $675 million.
For all IPR&D projects, there are major risks and uncertainties associated with the timely and successful completion of development and commercialization of these product candidates, including our ability to confirm their safety and efficacy based on data from clinical trials, our ability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals and our ability to successfully complete these tasks within budgeted costs. We are not able to market a human therapeutic without obtaining regulatory approvals, and such approvals require completing clinical trials that demonstrate a product candidate is safe and effective. In addition, the availability and extent of coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers, including government healthcare programs and private insurance plans, impact the revenues a product can generate. Consequently, the eventual realized value, if any, of these acquired IPR&D projects may vary from their estimated fair values. IPR&D projects are reviewed annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. For example, if the BLA for talimogene laherparepvec is not approved for treatment of patients with injectable regionally or distantly metastatic melanoma, we would be required to test the talimogene laherparepvec IPR&D asset for impairment again.
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized amortization charges associated with our finite-lived intangible assets of $345 million and $341 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized amortization charges associated with our finite-lived intangible assets of $686 million and $698 million, respectively. The total estimated amortization charges for our finite-lived intangible assets for the six months ending December 31, 2015, and the years ending December 31, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, are $672 million, $1.3 billion, $1.2 billion, $1.0 billion, $948 million and $892 million, respectively.

Debt repayments
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we repaid $2.15 billion of principal on our Term Loan Credit Facility.
Debt issuances
In May 2015, we issued $3.5 billion aggregate principal amount of notes, composed of the 2.125% 2020 Notes, the 2.70% 2022 Notes, the 3.125% 2025 Notes and the 4.40% 2045 Notes. The notes may be redeemed at any time at our option, in whole or in part, at the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and, except as discussed below, a make-whole amount, as defined. The 2.125% 2020 Notes, the 2.70% 2022 Notes, the 3.125% 2025 Notes and the 4.40% 2045 Notes may be redeemed without payment of a make-whole amount if they are redeemed on or after one, two, three or six months, respectively, prior to their maturity dates. In the event of a change in control triggering event, as defined, we may be required to purchase all or a portion of the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the issuance of these notes totaling approximately $21 million are being amortized over the respective lives of the notes, and the related charge is included in Interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

11. Fair value measurement
To estimate the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities we use valuation approaches within a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is divided into three levels based on the source of inputs as follows:
Level 1
Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access
Level 2
Valuations for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than level 1 inputs
Level 3
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement
The availability of observable inputs can vary among the various types of financial assets and liabilities. To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used for measuring fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for financial statement disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level of input used that is significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair values of our U.S. Treasury securities, money market mutual funds and equity securities are based on quoted market prices in active markets with no valuation adjustment.
Most of our other government-related and corporate debt securities are investment grade with maturity dates of five years or less from the balance sheet date. Our other government-related debt securities portfolio is composed of securities with weighted-average credit ratings of A- or equivalent by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (S&P) or Fitch Ratings, Inc. (Fitch), A by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's); and our corporate debt securities portfolio has a weighted-average credit rating of BBB+ or equivalent by S&P or Moody's, and A- by Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; and other observable inputs.
Our residential mortgage-, other mortgage- and asset-backed securities portfolio is composed entirely of senior tranches, with credit ratings of AAA or equivalent by S&P, Moody's or Fitch. We estimate the fair values of these securities by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income- and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; prepayment/default projections based on historical data; and other observable inputs.
We value our other short-term interest-bearing securities at amortized cost, which approximates fair value given their near-term maturity dates.

All of our foreign currency forward and option derivatives contracts have maturities of three years or less and all are with counterparties that have minimum credit ratings of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimated the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency rates, London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) cash and swap rates and obligor credit default swap rates. In addition, inputs for our foreign currency option contracts also include implied volatility measures. These inputs, where applicable, are at commonly quoted intervals. See Note 12, Derivative instruments.
Our cross-currency swap contracts are with counterparties that have minimum credit ratings of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimated the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates, LIBOR, swap rates, obligor credit default swap rates and cross-currency basis swap spreads. See Note 12, Derivative instruments.
Our interest rate swap contracts are with counterparties that have minimum credit ratings of A- or equivalent by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. We estimated the fair values of these contracts by using an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs were observable either directly or indirectly. These inputs included LIBOR, swap rates and obligor credit default swap rates.
