Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Our Adjusted operating expenses and adjusted operating profit excludes acquisition and integration related charges and amortization of acquired intangible assets. These charges were recognized in current as well as prior periods and will likely reoccur in future periods. These items are excluded from operating expenses and operating profit because the Company believes they neither relate to the ordinary course of the Company's business nor reflect the Company's underlying business performance.

Non-IFRS information is intended to portray the results of our baseline performance, supplement or enhance management's, analysts' and investors' overall understanding of our underlying financial performance and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The reconciliations of financial performance from IFRS to Non-IFRS for the first nine months of 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

The trial met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS), with Rina-S demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement compared with investigator's choice chemotherapy in the intent-to-treat (ITT) and in the primary analysis set (PAS) populations. Based on these results, Genmab plans to engage with regulatory authorities worldwide regarding potential next steps. The data will also be submitted for presentation at a future medical meeting.

The trial met both of its primary endpoints of overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR), regardless of HPV status.
