Capital Structure, Financial Risk and Related Items

Section 4 – Capital Structure, Financial Risk and Related Items

This section includes disclosures related to how Genmab manages its capital structure, cash position and related risks and items. Genmab is primarily financed through partnership collaborations.

4.1 – Capital Management

Genmab’s goal is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, and a continuous advancement of Genmab’s product pipeline and business in general.

Genmab is primarily financed through revenues under various collaboration agreements and had, as of December 31, 2022, cash and cash equivalents of DKK 9,893 million and marketable securities of DKK 12,431 million compared to DKK 8,957 million and DKK 10,381 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. Genmab’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities support the advancement of our product pipeline and operations.

The adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including the level of DARZALEX and other royalty streams, progress in our research and development programs, the magnitude of those programs, our commitments to existing and new clinical collaborators, our ability to establish commercial and licensing arrangements, our capital expenditures, market developments, and any future acquisitions. Accordingly, Genmab may require additional funds and may attempt to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings, collaborative agreements with partners, or from other sources.

The Board of Directors monitors the share and capital structure to ensure that Genmab’s capital resources support its strategic goals.

Neither Genmab A/S nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

4.2 – Financial Risk

The financial risks of the Genmab Group are managed centrally.

The overall risk management guidelines have been approved by the Board of Directors and include the Group’s investment policy related to our marketable securities. The Group’s risk management guidelines are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Genmab Group, to set the appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor the risks and adherence to limits. It is Genmab’s policy not to actively speculate in financial risks. The Group’s financial risk management is directed solely towards monitoring and reducing financial risks which are directly related to Genmab’s operations.

The primary objective of Genmab’s investment activities is to preserve capital and ensure liquidity with a secondary objective of maximizing the return derived from security investments without significantly increasing risk. Therefore, our investment policy includes among other items, guidelines and ranges for which investments (which are primarily shorter-term in nature) are considered to be eligible investments for Genmab and which investment parameters are to be applied, including maturity limitations and credit ratings. In addition, the policy includes specific diversification criteria and investment limits to minimize the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of assets in a specific class, issuer, currency, country, or economic sector.

Genmab’s marketable securities are administrated by external investment managers. The investment guidelines and managers are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions, Genmab’s activities and financial position. At the beginning of 2021, Genmab’s investment policy was amended to allow investments in debt rated BBB- or greater by S&P or Fitch and in debt rated Baa3 or greater by Moody’s. The amended policy also includes additional allowable investment types such as corporate debt, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and certain types of AAA rated asset-backed securities.

In addition to the capital management and financing risk mentioned in Note 4.1, Genmab has identified the following key financial risk areas, which are mainly related to our marketable securities portfolio:

·

credit risk;

·

foreign currency risk; and

·

interest rate risk

All of Genmab’s marketable securities are traded in established markets. Given the current market conditions, all future cash inflows including re-investments of proceeds from the disposal of marketable securities are invested in highly liquid, investment grade securities. Refer to Note 4.4 for additional information regarding marketable securities.

CREDIT RISK

Genmab is exposed to credit risk and losses on marketable securities and bank deposits. The maximum credit exposure related to Genmab’s cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities was DKK 22,324 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to DKK 19,338 million as of December 31, 2021. The maximum credit exposure to Genmab’s receivables was DKK 5,958 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to DKK 3,394 million as of December 31, 2021.

Marketable Securities

To manage and reduce credit risks on our securities, Genmab’s policy is to ensure only securities from investment grade issuers are eligible for our portfolios. No issuer of marketable securities can be accepted if the issuer, at the time of purchase, does not have the credit quality equal to or better than the rating shown in the table below from at least one of the rating agencies. If an issuer is rated by more than one of the rating agencies listed below, the credit assessment is made against the lowest rating available for the issuer.

BBB-

Genmab’s current portfolio is spread over a number of different securities with a focus on liquidity and security. As of December 31, 2022, 75% of Genmab’s marketable securities were long-term A rated or higher, or short-term A-1 / P-1 rated by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch compared to 68% as of December 31, 2021. The total value of marketable securities amounted to DKK 12,431 million at the end of 2022 compared to DKK 10,381 million at the end of 2021.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

To reduce the credit risk on our bank deposits, Genmab’s policy is only to invest its cash deposits with highly rated financial institutions. Currently, these financial institutions have a short-term Fitch and S&P rating of at least F-1 and A-1, respectively. In addition, Genmab maintains bank deposits at a level necessary to support the short-term funding requirements of Genmab. The total value of bank deposits including AAA rated money market funds and short-term marketable securities classified as cash equivalents amounted to DKK 9,893 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to DKK 8,957 million at the end of 2021. The increase was primarily driven by Genmab’s increased profitability and foreign exchange movements which positively impacted our USD denominated cash and cash equivalents.

Receivables

The credit risk related to our receivables is not significant based on the high-quality nature of Genmab’s collaboration partners. As disclosed in Note 2.1, Janssen, Roche, AbbVie and BioNTech are Genmab’s primary partners in which receivables are established for royalties, milestone revenue and reimbursement revenue.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

Genmab’s presentation currency is the DKK; however, Genmab’s revenues and expenses are in a number of different currencies. Consequently, there is a substantial risk of exchange rate fluctuations having an impact on Genmab’s cash flows, profit (loss) and/or financial position in DKK.

The majority of Genmab’s revenue is generated in USD. Exchange rate changes to the USD will result in changes to the translated value of future net profit before tax and cash flows. Genmab’s revenue in USD was 89% of total revenue in 2022 as compared to 92% in 2021 and 95% in 2020.

Under our license agreement with Janssen for DARZALEX, for purposes of calculating royalties due to Genmab, DARZALEX net sales for non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at a specified annual Currency Hedge Rate. Movements in foreign exchanges against the annual Currency Hedge Rate will result in changes to royalties due to Genmab impacting net profit before tax and cash flows.

There is also exposure that exchange rate fluctuations may impact equity as part of the currency translation adjustments required to convert the investments in foreign subsidiaries from their respective functional currencies to the presentation currency during consolidation, however any such fluctuations would be immaterial. The foreign subsidiaries are not significantly affected by currency risks as both revenues and expenses are primarily settled in the foreign subsidiaries’ functional currencies.

Assets and Liabilities in Foreign Currency

Genmab’s marketable securities denominated in USD, DKK, EUR and GBP as a percentage of total marketable securities were as follows:

Genmab’s USD currency exposure is mainly related to cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and receivables related to our collaborations with Janssen, AbbVie, Roche and Seagen. Significant changes in the exchange rate of USD to DKK could cause net profit before tax to change materially as gains and losses are recognized in the income statement. Based on the amount of assets and liabilities denominated in USD as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, a 10% increase/ decrease in the USD to DKK exchange rate is estimated to impact Genmab’s net profit before tax by approximately DKK 2.2 billion and DKK 1.5 billion, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The movements in the income statement and equity arise from monetary items (cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables and liabilities) where the functional currency of the entity differs from the currency that the monetary items are denominated in.

Genmab’s EUR exposure is mainly related to our marketable securities, receivables under our collaboration with BioNTech, and other costs denominated in EUR. Since the introduction of the EUR in 1999, Denmark has committed to maintaining a central rate of 7.46 DKK to the EUR. This rate may fluctuate within a +/- 2.25% band. Should Denmark’s policy toward the EUR change, the DKK values of our EUR denominated assets and costs could be materially different compared to what is calculated and reported under the existing

Danish policy toward the DKK/EUR. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Genmab’s EUR exposure is not material.

Genmab’s GBP currency exposure is mainly related to contracts and marketable securities denominated in GBP. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, Genmab’s GBP exposure is not material.

INTEREST RATE RISK

Genmab’s exposure to interest rate risk is primarily related to marketable securities, as Genmab currently does not have significant interest-bearing debts.

Marketable Securities

The securities in which the Group has invested bear interest rate risk, as a change in market-derived interest rates may cause fluctuations in the fair value of the investments. In accordance with the objective of the investment activities, the portfolio of securities is monitored on a total return basis.

To control and minimize the interest rate risk, Genmab maintains an investment portfolio in a variety of securities with a relatively short effective duration with both fixed and variable interest rates.

A sensitivity analysis was performed on Genmab’s marketable securities, and based on exposures in 2021 and 2022, a hypothetical +/- 1% interest rate change would not have resulted in a material change in the fair values of these financial instruments. Due to the short-term nature of the current investments and to the extent that Genmab is able to hold the investments to maturity, the current exposure to changes in fair value due to interest rate changes is considered to be insignificant compared to the fair value of the portfolio.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CLASSIFICATION OF CATEGORIES OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Genmab classifies its financial assets held into the following measurement categories:

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss), and
those to be measured at amortized cost.

The classification depends on the business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.

Genmab reclassifies debt investments only when its business model for managing those assets changes.

Further details about the accounting policy for each of the categories are outlined in the respective notes.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Genmab measures financial instruments, such as marketable securities, at fair value at each balance sheet date. Management assessed that the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost

such as bank deposits, receivables and other payables approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by Genmab.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

Genmab uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

For financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value, IFRS 13 requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

·

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

·

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)

·

Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, Genmab determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. Any transfers between the different levels are carried out at the end of the reporting period.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Marketable securities consist of investments in securities with a maturity of ninety days or greater at the time of acquisition. Measurement of marketable securities depends on the business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are two measurement categories into which Genmab classifies its debt instruments:

Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses), together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.
Fair value through profit and loss (FVPL): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognized in profit or loss and presented net within financial income or expenses in the period in which it arises.

Genmab’s portfolio is managed and evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with its stated investment guidelines and the information provided internally to management. This business model does not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI and as a result marketable securities are measured at FVPL. This classification is consistent with the prior year’s classification.

Genmab invests its cash in deposits with major financial institutions, in AAA rated money market funds, Danish mortgage bonds, investment grade rated corporate debt, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, certain types of AAA rated asset backed securities, U.S. Agency bonds, and notes issued by the Danish, European and U.S. governments. The securities can be purchased and sold using established markets.

Transactions are recognized at the trade date.

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income was DKK 324 million in 2022 compared to DKK 197 million in 2021. The increase of DKK 127 million, or 64%, was driven by higher effective interest rates in the U.S., Europe and Denmark for the respective periods.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE GAINS AND LOSSES

Foreign exchange rate gains of DKK 1,034 million in 2022 and DKK 1,470 million in 2021, and losses of DKK 1,456 million in 2020 were primarily driven by foreign exchange movements impacting Genmab’s USD denominated marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents; in particular, the USD/DKK foreign exchange rates were as follows for each period:

marketable securities gains and losses

Loss on marketable securities, net was DKK 361 million in 2022 and DKK 246 million in 2021. The increase in losses of DKK 115 million, or 47%, was primarily driven by higher interest rates on Genmab’s Danish mortgage investments in 2022 as compared to 2021. Loss on marketable securities, net was DKK 246 million in 2021 and DKK 92 million in 2020. The increase in losses of DKK 154 million was primarily driven by the movements in interest rates in the U.S. and Europe in the respective periods.

OTHER INVESTMENTS

Loss on other investments, net was DKK 298 million in 2022 and DKK 443 million in 2021, and gain on other investments, net was DKK 965 million in 2020. The losses and gains in the respective periods are primarily driven by the change in fair value of Genmab’s investment in common shares of CureVac.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial income and expenses include interest as well as foreign exchange rate adjustments and gains and losses on marketable securities (designated as FVPL) and realized gains and losses and write-downs of other securities and equity interests (designated as available-for-sale financial assets).

Interest income is shown separately from gains and losses on marketable securities and other securities and equity interests.

4.6 – Share-Based Instruments

Restricted Stock Unit Program

Genmab A/S has established an RSU program (equity-settled share-based payment transactions) as an incentive for Genmab’s employees, members of the Executive Management, and members of the Board of Directors. RSUs granted to Executive Management are performance-based.

RSUs are granted by the Board of Directors. RSU grants to members of the Board of Directors and members of the Executive Management are subject to the Remuneration Policy adopted at the Annual General Meeting.

See the table below for a summary of key terms of Genmab’s RSU programs:

RSUs Granted in Periods

Key Terms

December 2019 - February 2021

From February 2021

Grants

Granted at closing share price on the grant date.

Vesting (Settlement)

Cliff vesting – RSUs become fully vested on the first banking day of the month following a period of 3 years from the grant date.

After RSUs vest, the holder receives one share in Genmab A/S for each RSU granted. In jurisdictions in which Genmab as an employer is required to withhold tax and settle with the tax authority on behalf of the employee, Genmab withholds the number of RSUs that are equal to the monetary value of the employee’s tax obligation from the total number of RSUs that otherwise would have been issued to the employee upon vesting (“net settlement”). Genmab A/S may at its sole discretion in extraordinary circumstances choose to make a cash settlement instead of delivering shares.

Leaver

Leavers – Forfeit all unvested RSUs except when due to retirement, death, serious sickness or serious injury, in which case granted but not yet vested RSUs shall remain outstanding and will be settled in accordance with their terms.

Notwithstanding the above, the December 2020 RSU grant to members of the Board of Directors was made subject to pro-rata vesting upon termination of board services.

Employees and Executive Management - RSUs remain outstanding and vest accordingly when the employment relationship is terminated by Genmab without cause.

Good-Leavers1- May maintain a pro-rata portion of unvested RSUs

Bad-Leavers2 - Forfeit all unvested RSUs.

Death - Forfeit all unvested RSUs.

1 - “Good-Leaver” - Dismissal without cause or termination of employment due to the Genmab’s material breach of the RSU or Warrant holder’s employment terms, or if the participant is a member of the Board of Directors, if the membership of the Board of Directors ceases for any other reason than as a result of the participants death.

2 - “Bad-leaver” - Dismissed for cause or during the employment probationary period.

The RSU program contains anti-dilution provisions if changes occur in Genmab’s share capital prior to the vesting date and provisions to accelerate vesting of RSUs in the event of change of control as defined in the RSU program.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSES

Share-based compensation expense is recognized in the income statement based on the estimated fair value of the awards at grant date. Subsequently, the fair value is not remeasured. The expense recognized reflects an estimate of the number of awards expected to vest after taking into consideration an estimate of award forfeitures based on historical experience and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service

period, which is the vesting period. Genmab reassesses its estimate of the number of shares expected to vest periodically.

Management expectations related to the achievement of performance goals associated with performance based RSU grants is assessed periodically, and that assessment is used to determine whether such grants are expected to vest or if any revision to the current estimate is required. Genmab recognizes the impact of the revised estimate of the number of awards expected to vest, if any, as an adjustment to the income statement over the remaining vesting period. If performance-based milestones related to performance-based RSU grants are not met or not expected to be met, any share-based compensation expense recognized to date associated with grants that are not expected to vest will be reversed.

Share-based compensation expenses represent calculated values of warrants, RSUs and performance-based RSUs granted and do not represent actual cash expenditures. A corresponding amount is recognized in shareholders’ equity as the warrant, RSU and performance-based RSU programs are designated as equity-settled share-based payment transactions.

MANAGEMENT’S JUDGeMENTS AND ESTIMATES

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSES

The fair value of each warrant granted during the year is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. This pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions such as:

The expected stock price volatility, which is based upon the historical volatility of Genmab’s stock price;

The risk-free interest rate, which is determined as the interest rate on Danish government bonds (bullet issues) with a maturity of five years;

The expected life of warrants, which is based on vesting terms, expected rate of exercise and life terms in the current warrant program.

These assumptions can vary over time and can change the fair value of future warrants granted.

Valuation Assumptions for Warrants Granted in 2022, 2021 and 2020

The fair value of each warrant granted during the year is calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:
