Other Intangible Assets
The decrease in the gross carrying value of other intangible assets during the first six months of 2026 was primarily driven by negative foreign exchange rate movements resulting from the weakening of the EUR against the USD, mainly related to petosemtamab (acquired IPR&D) and the technology platform acquired as part of the Merus acquisition completed in December 2025.
Amortization expense was $25 million and $7 million for the first six months of 2026 and 2025 respectively. In the first six months of 2026, $3 million was recorded in Cost of product sales and $22 million was recorded in Research and development expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. In the first six months of 2025, all amortization expense of $7 million was recorded in Research and development expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The amortization included in Cost of product sales relates to amortization of commercialized intangible assets.
Goodwill
The carrying amount of goodwill, which relates to the acquisition of ProfoundBio during the second quarter of 2024, was $355 million as of both June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
