Recent Events AbbVie and Apogee Therapeutics announced a definitive agreement under which AbbVie will acquire Apogee and its diverse pipeline of clinical-stage candidates in development across inflammatory and immunological diseases. The proposed acquisition includes zumilokibart (APG777), a late-stage, half-life extended monoclonal antibody targeting IL-13 for atopic dermatitis (AD), as well as APG273, a potential best-in-category long-acting combination targeting IL-13 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in asthma. The acquisition holds potential for substantial shareholder value creation, with mega-blockbuster peak sales potential across Apogee's pipeline of assets, and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. The transaction values Apogee at a total equity value of approximately $10.9 billion. Additional information on the transaction can be found at investors.abbvie.com. AbbVie announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Commission (EC) approved Skyrizi (risankizumab) for the treatment of children six years of age and older with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The FDA also approved Skyrizi for pediatric use in psoriatic arthritis. These approvals were supported by data from Phase 3 OptIMMize clinical trial program. AbbVie announced the EC approved Rinvoq (upadacitinib) for the treatment of adult and adolescent patients with non-segmental vitiligo. With this approval, Rinvoq is the first systemic medication approved in the European Union (EU) for patients with non-segmental vitiligo. This approval is supported by data from the Phase 3 Viti-Up clinical program, in which Rinvoq met both co-primary endpoints, with statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in total body and facial repigmentation at week 48, as well as key ranked secondary endpoints. AbbVie announced the EC approved Rinvoq for the treatment of adult and adolescent patients with severe alopecia areata. This approval is supported by data from the Phase 3 UP-AA clinical program, in which Rinvoq met the primary endpoint of severity of alopecia tool score ≤ 20 as well as key secondary endpoints, including improvements in eyebrows and eyelashes, at week 24. At the 2026 Digestive Disease Week (DDW) Annual Meeting, AbbVie presented new data across its gastroenterology portfolio, including 18 abstracts in Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Presentations included real-world evidence and long-term findings that reinforced the efficacy, safety profile and durability of Skyrizi and Rinvoq in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). AbbVie announced the EC approved Aquipta (atogepant) for the acute treatment of migraine in adults with or without aura. This approval marks the second indication for Aquipta in the EU, where it is now approved as both an acute treatment option for migraine attacks and as a preventive treatment option for adults with chronic or episodic migraine who experience at least four migraine days per month. The approval is supported by data from the Phase 3 ECLIPSE trial, which showed that Aquipta resulted in statistically significant pain freedom at two hours versus placebo during the first migraine attack, with sustained pain freedom from 2 to 48 hours and a clinically meaningful and consistent effect across multiple migraine attacks. AbbVie announced the FDA approved Decnupaz (pivekimab sunirine) for the treatment of adult patients with blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), an ultra-rare and aggressive hematologic malignancy. Decnupaz is the first antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) approved for BPDCN that is initiated in an outpatient setting and marks AbbVie's first ADC approved for blood cancer. The approval is supported by data from the Phase 1/2 CADENZA trial, in which newly diagnosed patients with BPDCN treated with Decnupaz demonstrated clinically meaningful and durable responses. AbbVie announced the EC authorized an expanded label for Venclyxto (venetoclax) to include use in combination with acalabrutinib and use in combination with Imbruvica (ibrutinib) for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The authorization provides an all-oral, fixed-duration, chemotherapy-free treatment option for patients with CLL and supports the potential for time off treatment. The expanded label is supported by data from the Phase 3 AMPLIFY trial, Phase 3 GLOW trial and Phase 2 CAPTIVATE trial. AbbVie announced the EC granted marketing authorization for Tepkinly (epcoritamab) in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab (R2) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) follicular lymphoma (FL). The approval is based on results from the pivotal Phase 3 EPCORE FL-1 trial, in which fixed-duration Tepkinly plus R2 achieved statistically significant improvement of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rates (ORR) compared to R2, with approximately three out of four patients achieving a complete response (CR). This approval marks the first bispecific-based therapy approved in Europe for the treatment of R/R FL in the second-line setting, offering patients a chemotherapy-free option. Tepkinly/Epkinly is being co-developed by AbbVie and Genmab. AbbVie announced topline results from the Phase 3 EPCORE DLBCL-4 trial evaluating the combination of Epkinly (epcoritamab) and lenalidomide, compared to rituximab plus gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin in adult patients with R/R diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who received at least one prior line of therapy. In the trial, the chemotherapy-free combination of Epkinly plus lenalidomide demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in PFS. The safety profile of Epkinly when administered in combination with lenalidomide was consistent with the known safety profiles of the individual agents. At the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, AbbVie announced new data demonstrating the breadth and momentum of its next-generation oncology pipeline. Presentations highlighted the potential of AbbVie's novel topoisomerase 1 inhibitor–based ADC and T‑cell engager platforms within solid tumors and blood cancers, including oral presentations in prostate cancer, small cell lung cancer (SCLC), platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) and multiple myeloma (MM). At the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2026 Congress, AbbVie presented data that reinforced its leadership and commitment to ongoing research to improve outcomes for people living with blood cancers. Featured data from AbbVie's blood cancer portfolio and pipeline included 21 oral and poster presentations, which highlighted etentamig (ABBV-383), Epkinly and Decnupaz. The presentations also showcased Venclexta (venetoclax) data, including a final analysis of the Phase 3 CLL14 trial which demonstrated that after a median follow-up of 9.2 years, treatment with Venclexta plus obinutuzumab resulted in superior PFS compared to treatment with obinutuzumab plus chlorambucil in previously untreated CLL. Allergan Aesthetics announced the FDA approved Skinvive by Juvederm as the first hyaluronic acid injectable indicated to reduce neck lines for the improvement of neck appearance in adults over the age of 21. This approval is supported by a randomized, multicenter, evaluator-blinded, controlled pivotal clinical study in which participants treated with Skinvive by Juvederm saw a clinically significant improvement in neck lines at one month. This approval represents the second FDA-approved indication for Skinvive by Juvederm, which is also approved to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks in adults. Allergan Aesthetics announced the EC and Health Canada approved Boey (trenibotulinumtoxinE) as the first rapid-onset, short-duration neurotoxin for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults. These approvals are supported by data from two Phase 3 clinical trials, in which Boey demonstrated rapid onset of action as early as eight hours after administration and observed efficacy duration of two to three weeks, with treatment-emergent adverse events similar to placebo. AbbVie announced the EC approved Maviret (glecaprevir/pibrentasvir) for the treatment of acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in adults and children aged 3 years and older. This approval gives clinicians an option to initiate treatment as soon as acute infection is confirmed and makes Maviret the only treatment approved in the EU for both acute and chronic HCV infection. Full-Year 2026 Outlook AbbVie is updating its adjusted diluted EPS guidance to include the impact of the proposed Apogee Therapeutics acquisition, which is expected to be $0.14 dilutive in 2026, based upon an anticipated close in the third quarter of this year. This dilution is partially offset by $0.10 of overperformance. As a result, AbbVie is updating its adjusted diluted EPS guidance range for the full year 2026 from $13.91 - $14.11 to $13.87 - $14.07, reflecting a change of $0.04 at the midpoint. The company's 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance includes an unfavorable impact of $0.58 per share related to acquired IPR&D and milestones expense incurred year-to-date through the second quarter 2026. This guidance excludes any impact from acquired IPR&D and milestones that may be incurred beyond the second quarter of 2026, as both cannot be reliably forecasted.
