Amortization expense of Other intangible assets was $471 million and $943 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $864 million and $1.7 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, IPRD impairment charges of $420 million and $830 million, respectively, were recorded in Research and development expense. The charges primarily reflect a partial write-down of an oncology asset based on recent clinical results and development plan changes. The six months ended June 30, 2026 also includes a partial write-down of a radiopharmaceutical asset driven by an indication realignment within our portfolio.
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.
