Recent Events

    --  AbbVie announced that it completed its acquisition of Cerevel, adding a
        pipeline of highly complementary assets to AbbVie's existing
        neuroscience portfolio. Cerevel's pipeline includes emraclidine, a
        potential best-in-class, next-generation antipsychotic, that is being
        studied for the treatment of schizophrenia; tavapadon, a first-in-class
        dopamine D1/D5 selective partial agonist for the management of
        Parkinson's disease (PD); as well as CVL-354, a potential best-in-class
        kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist being studied for the treatment
        of major depressive disorder (MDD). Cerevel is a strong strategic fit
        for AbbVie and has potential to meaningfully impact revenue into the
        next decade.

    --  AbbVie announced positive topline results from its pivotal Phase 3
        TEMPO-1 trial evaluating tavapadon as a fixed-dose monotherapy treatment
        in early PD. In the study, tavapadon met the primary endpoint,
        demonstrating a statistically significant improvement from baseline in
        the Movement Disorder Society - Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale
        (MDS-UPDRS) Parts II and III combined score at week 26. Tavapadon also
        met the key secondary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant
        improvement from baseline in the MDS-UPDRS Part II score. Full results
        from the TEMPO-1 study will be submitted for presentation at future
        medical meetings and used to support regulatory submissions of tavapadon
        as a treatment for PD. Topline results from TEMPO-2, the Phase 3
        flexible-dose monotherapy trial for tavapadon, are expected by the end
        of 2024.

    --  AbbVie announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved
        Vyalev (foscarbidopa and foslevodopa) as the first subcutaneous 24-hour
        infusion of levodopa-based therapy for the treatment of motor
        fluctuations in adults with advanced PD. The approval was supported by
        results from a pivotal Phase 3 head-to-head, randomized and controlled
        clinical trial that demonstrated a statistically significant improvement
        in "on" time without troublesome dyskinesia and decreased "off" time,
        compared to oral immediate-release carbidopa/levodopa (CD/LD).

    --  AbbVie and Aliada Therapeutics announced a definitive agreement under
        which AbbVie will acquire Aliada, a biotechnology company advancing
        therapies using a novel blood-brain barrier (BBB)-crossing technology to
        address challenging central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Aliada's lead
        investigational asset utilizing this delivery technology, ALIA-1758, is
        an anti-pyroglutamate amyloid beta (3pE-A ) antibody in development for
        the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The acquisition also allows
        AbbVie to utilize Aliada's novel BBB-crossing technology to enhance
        discovery and development efforts across neuroscience.

    --  AbbVie and Gedeon Richter announced a new discovery, co-development and
        license agreement to advance novel targets for the potential treatment
        of neuropsychiatric conditions. This collaboration expands upon the
        success of nearly two decades of partnership on CNS projects.

    --  AbbVie announced the European Commission (EC) approved Skyrizi
        (risankizumab) for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to
        severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) who have had an inadequate
        response, lost response, or were intolerant to conventional or biologic
        therapy. The approval was supported by data from two pivotal Phase 3
        trials in which Skyrizi achieved the primary endpoint of clinical
        remission as well as key secondary endpoints. This marketing
        authorization for Skyrizi marks its fourth approved indication in the
        European Union (EU). Skyrizi is part of a collaboration between
        Boehringer Ingelheim and AbbVie, with AbbVie leading development and
        commercialization globally.

    --  At the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology (EADV) Congress
        2024, AbbVie shared more than 30 presentations that showcased the depth
        and strength of AbbVie's dermatology portfolio. Presentations
        highlighted data for Rinvoq (upadacitinib), Skyrizi and lutikizumab
        across a multitude of dermatological conditions.

    --  AbbVie announced that the EC granted conditional marketing authorization
        for Tepkinly (epcoritamab) as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult
        patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) follicular lymphoma (FL)
        after two or more lines of prior therapy. Tepkinly is the first
        subcutaneous bispecific antibody conditionally approved as a monotherapy
        in the EU to treat both r/r FL and r/r diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
        (DLBCL), after two or more lines of prior therapy. The EC approval is
        supported by data from the Phase 1/2 EPCORE NHL-1 clinical trial, which
        evaluated the safety and efficacy of Tepkinly in adult patients with r/r
        FL. Tepkinly is being co-developed by AbbVie and Genmab.

    --  AbbVie announced the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for
        Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion
        recommending the marketing authorization of Elahere (mirvetuximab
        soravtansine) for the treatment of adult patients with folate receptor
        alpha (FR )-positive, platinum-resistant and high-grade serous
        epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have
        received one to three prior treatment regimens. The CHMP's opinion is
        supported by results of the Phase 3 MIRASOL clinical trial and the EC
        decision on this indication for Elahere is anticipated later this year.

    --  AbbVie announced submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) to
        the FDA for accelerated approval (AA) of Teliso-V (telisotuzumab
        vedotin) in adult patients with previously treated, locally advanced or
        metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type,
        nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with c-Met protein
        overexpression. The BLA is supported by data from the Phase 2 LUMINOSITY
        clinical trial and review of the BLA will be conducted under FDA's
        Oncology Center of Excellence (OCE) Real-Time Oncology Review (RTOR)
        program. There are currently no approved anti-cancer therapies
        specifically for c-Met overexpressing NSCLC and if approved, Teliso-V
        would be the first-in-class therapy for this patient population.

    --  At the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024,
        AbbVie showcased new data from its innovative antibody-drug conjugate
        (ADC) platform in tumor types with high unmet needs. Highlights included
        full data from the primary analysis of the positive, single-arm Phase 2
        PICCOLO trial, evaluating Elahere for high FR  expressing
        platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC); patient reported outcomes from
        the Phase 2 LUMINOSITY trial, evaluating Teliso-V in advanced NSCLC; as
        well as new safety and efficacy data in pre-treated patients with
        advanced NSCLC and gastroesophageal (GEA) cancer, from a Phase 1 study
        of ABBV-400 (telisotuzumab adizutecan).

    --  Allergan Aesthetics announced the FDA approved Botox Cosmetic
        (onabotulinumtoxinA) for temporary improvement in the appearance of
        moderate to severe vertical bands connecting the jaw and neck (platysma
        bands) in adults. Botox Cosmetic is the first product with four
        aesthetic indication areas: forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet
        lines, and now platysma bands, making it the first product of its kind
        to go beyond the face.

    --  Allergan Aesthetics announced the launch of Botox Cosmetic for the
        treatment of masseter muscle prominence (MMP) in China. The approval is
        supported by Botox Cosmetic's well-established safety profile as well as
        clinical trial data that demonstrated Botox Cosmetic is effective in
        reducing the prominence of the masseter muscle. Botox Cosmetic is the
        first neurotoxin approved in China for MMP, the largest global MMP
        market. Allergan Aesthetics intends to develop Botox Cosmetic treatment
        for MMP in additional global markets and expand the use of Botox
        Cosmetic in the lower face.
    --  At the American Society for Dermal Surgery (ASDS), Allergan Aesthetics
        presented a total of 12 abstracts that showcased its commitment to
        patient outcomes and detailed insights and understanding of key concerns
        across differentiated patient segments. Highlights included four Best of
        Cosmetic Abstracts as well as a panel discussion on the impact of social
        media on patient experience and expectations when considering aesthetic
        treatment.

Full-Year 2024 Outlook

AbbVie is raising its adjusted diluted EPS guidance for the full year 2024 from $10.67 - $10.87 to $10.90 - $10.94, which includes an unfavorable impact of $0.64 per share related to acquired IPR&D and milestones expense incurred year-to-date through the third quarter 2024. The company's 2024 adjusted diluted EPS guidance excludes any impact from acquired IPR&D and milestones that may be incurred beyond the third quarter of 2024, as both cannot be reliably forecasted. Any potential IPR&D and milestones expense related to the recently announced acquisition of Aliada Therapeutics is also excluded from AbbVie's 2024 adjusted diluted EPS guidance, as the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Company Declares Dividend Increase of 5.8 Percent

AbbVie is announcing today that its board of directors declared an increase in the company's quarterly cash dividend from $1.55 per share to $1.64 per share beginning with the dividend payable on February 14, 2025 to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2025. This reflects an increase of approximately 5.8 percent, continuing AbbVie's strong commitment to returning cash to shareholders through a growing dividend. Since the company's inception in 2013, AbbVie has increased its quarterly dividend by 310 percent. AbbVie is a member of the S&P Dividend Aristocrats Index, which tracks companies that have annually increased their dividend for at least 25 consecutive years.

              Acquisition and integration costs primarily reflect integration costs related to the Allergan acquisition, including a one-time gain
    of $169 million related to the termination of a development liability associated with a previously divested product.  Intangible
    asset impairment primarily reflects a partial impairment charge of $2.1 billion related to the U.S. Imbruvica intangible asset
    acquired as part of the 2015 acquisition of Pharmacyclics, Inc. The intangible asset impairment was triggered by selection of
    Imbruvica for price negotiation as part of the IRA of 2022, which contributed to a significant decrease in the estimated future
    cash flows for the product.





              Reported GAAP earnings and adjusted non-GAAP earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 included acquired
    IPR&D and milestones expense of $496 million on a pre-tax and $477 million on an after-tax basis, representing an unfavorable
    impact of $0.27 to both diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS.
