Partnership Economics

Key Risks and Challenges

HIGH RISK: Patent Cliff
Lynparza LOE 2027-2030 ($3.7B FY2024 revenue at risk, 50-70% erosion expected). Brilinta patent cliff ongoing. Soliris biosimilar pressure in Europe.
HIGH RISK: China Exposure
~11% of revenue (~$6.5B) from China. Legal challenges (former China president charged Nov 2025), geopolitical tensions, NRDL pricing pressure (30-50% cuts). $15B investment commitment balances risk with opportunity.
Risk Category Impact Mitigation
Patent Cliff Lynparza $2-3B revenue erosion 2027-2030 20 new launches by 2030; lifecycle management
China Exposure $6.5B revenue at risk; legal/geopolitical Geographic diversification; $50B US investment
Pipeline Risk 20+ Phase 3 readouts 2026; failures derail $80B target Diversified portfolio (37 late-stage assets)
Competitive Pressure Keytruda dominance; GLP-1 agonists vs. Farxiga Best-in-class assets (Enhertu, Tagrisso, Tezspire)
Regulatory Pricing US IRA, EU HTA, China NRDL negotiations Value-based pricing; patient assistance programs
