02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition Reported GAAP earnings and adjusted non-GAAP earnings for the third quarter of 2025 are expected to include acquired IPR&D and milestones expense of $2.7 billion on a pre-tax basis, representing an unfavorable impact of $1.50 to both GAAP diluted earnings per share and adjusted non-GAAP diluted earnings per share. Results for the quarter ended September 30, 2025 have not been finalized and are subject to our financial statement closing procedures. There can be no assurance that our final results will not differ from these preliminary estimates. While acquired IPR&D and milestones expense may be incurred upon execution of collaborations, licensing agreements, and other asset acquisitions, AbbVie does not forecast acquired IPR&D and milestones expense due to uncertainty of the future occurrence and timing of these transactions. Adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance for 2025 previously announced on July 31, 2025 excluded the impact of acquired IPR&D and milestones expense that may be incurred beyond the second quarter of 2025. AbbVie's full-year 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance range, including the impact of third quarter 2025 acquired IPR&D and milestones expense, is $10.38 - $10.58. AbbVie's third quarter 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance range, including the impact of third quarter 2025 acquired IPR&D and milestones expense, is $1.74 - $1.78. Furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference is guidance for 2025 including the estimated acquired IPR&D and milestones expense incurred during the third quarter of 2025. The information set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "Filed" for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities thereof, nor shall it be incorporated by reference
