Amortization expense of Other intangible assets was $864 million and $1.7 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and $2.4 billion and $4.8 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, $300 million of IPRD impairment charges were recorded in Research and development expense for two oncology assets. The charges represented a partial write-down of each asset driven by revised cash flow projections and updated clinical development timelines.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, a $280 million impairment charge was recorded in Cost of products sold resulting from lower revised cash flow projections for Inrebic. The charge represented a partial impairment based on the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value using discounted cash flow projections. Additionally, a $590 million IPRD impairment charge for alnuctamab was recorded in Research and development expense in connection with portfolio prioritization. Alnuctamab was being studied as a potential treatment for hematologic diseases and was obtained in the acquisition of Celgene. The charge represented a full write-down of the asset.
