GILEAD SCIENCES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.    ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. The financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that the management of Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead,” “we,” “our” or “us”) believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Gilead, our wholly-owned subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. For consolidated entities where we own or are exposed to less than 100% of the economics, we record net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties.
We assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the inception of the arrangement and at each reporting date. This assessment is based on our power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and our obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We did not have any material VIEs as of September 30, 2021.
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead,” “we,” “our” or “us”) should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Segment Information
We There have 1 operating segment, which focuses onbeen no material changes to our organization or summary of significant accounting policies as disclosed in that filing except for our classification of expenses related to development milestones and other collaboration payments made prior to regulatory approval of a developed product. Beginning in the discovery,second quarter of 2022, we reclassified such expenses from Research and development and commercialization of innovative medicines in areas of unmet medical need. Our Chief Executive Officer, as the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), manages and allocates resourcesexpenses to the operations of the company on an entity-wide basis. Managing and allocating resources on an entity-wide basis enables our CODM to assess the overall level of resources available and how to best deploy these resources across functions andAcquired in-process research and development (“R&D”) projects based on unmet medical need and, as necessary, reallocate resources among our internal R&D portfolio and external opportunities to best supportexpenses in the long-term growth of our business. See Note 2. Revenues for a summary of disaggregated revenues by product and geographic region.
Significant Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Income. Concurrently, we reclassified the cash payments related to these expenses from Other to Acquisitions, including in-process research and development, net of cash acquired within Investing Activities in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires managementthe Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We believe this presentation assists users of the financial statements to make estimatesbetter understand the total costs incurred to acquire in-process research and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our significant accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various market-specific and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates are assessed each period and updateddevelopment (“IPR&D”) projects. Prior periods have been revised to reflect current information, such as the economic considerations related to the impact that the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) could have on our significant accounting estimates. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.
Concentrationsthis classification, resulting in a reduction of Risk
We are subject to credit risk from our portfoliopreviously-reported Research and development expenses of cash equivalents$46 million and marketable securities. Under our investment policy, we limit amounts invested in such securities by credit rating, maturity, industry group, investment type and issuer, except for securities issued by the U.S. government. We are not exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk from these financial instruments. The goals of our investment policy, in order of priority, are as follows: safety and preservation of principal and diversification of risk; liquidity of investments sufficient to meet cash flow requirements; and a competitive after-tax rate of return.
8


We are also subject to credit risk from our accounts receivable related to our product sales. Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for wholesaler chargebacks related to government and other programs, cash discounts for prompt payment and credit losses. Estimates of our allowance for credit losses consider a number of factors, including existing contractual payment terms, individual customer circumstances, historical payment patterns of our customers, a review of the local economic environment and its potential impact on expected future customer payment patterns and government funding and reimbursement practices. The majority of our trade accounts receivable arises from product sales in the United States and Europe. There were no material write-offs charged against the allowance$93 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and 2020.$8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments that the management of Gilead believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period. Certain amounts and percentages in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes may not sum or recalculate due to rounding.

3.        FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We determine the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy, which establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 inputs include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Our Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques and significant management judgment or estimation.
Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, accounts receivable, foreign currency exchange contracts, equity securities, accounts payable and short-term and long-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents, marketable debt securities, certain equity securities and foreign currency exchange contracts are reported at their respective fair values on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Equity securities without readily determinable fair values are recorded using the measurement alternative of cost less impairment, if any, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Short-term and long-term debt are reported at their amortized costs on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining financial instruments are reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts that approximate current fair values. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in the periods presented.

We elected and applied the fair value option to account for our equity investment in Galapagos whereby the investment is marked to market through earnings each reporting period based on the market price of Galapagos shares. We believe the fair value option best reflects the underlying economics of the investment. The portion of the investment subject to long-term contractual lock-up provisions is classified within Other long-term assets and the remainder is classified as Prepaid and other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In April 2021, we amended the Galapagos subscription agreement to extend the initial lock-up provision for certain Galapagos shares from August 2021 to August 2024. As of September 30, 2021, all of our equity investment in Galapagos was classified as Other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other Equity Securities
Equity investments not measured at fair value and excluded from the above tables were limited partnerships and other equity method investments of $96 million and $58 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and other equity investments without readily determinable fair values of $211 million and $204 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These amounts were included in Other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Level 2 Inputs
WeAvailable-for-Sale Debt Securities
For our available-for-sale debt securities, we estimate the fair values by reviewing trading activity and pricing as of Level 2 financial instruments bythe measurement date, and taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income-based and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate the fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark securities, prepayment/default projections based on historical data and other observable inputs.
For our marketable securities, we review trading activity and pricing as of the measurement date. When sufficient quoted pricing for identical securities is not available, we use market pricing and other observable market inputs for similar securities obtained from various third-party data providers. These inputs either represent quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or have been derived from observable market data.Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts
Substantially all of our foreign currency derivative contracts have maturities within an 18-month time horizon and all are with counterparties that have a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Ratings, Inc. We estimate the fair values of these contracts by taking into consideration the valuations obtained from a third-party valuation service that utilizes an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates, London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”)Secured Overnight Financing Rate and swap rates. These inputs, where applicable, are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Senior Unsecured Notes
The total estimated fair values of our aggregate short-term and long-term debt,senior unsecured notes, determined using Level 2 inputs based on their quoted market values, were approximately $29.6$21.2 billion and $34.6$28.6 billion as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively, and the carrying values were $26.6$24.1 billion and $30.3$25.6 billion as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

In connection with our first quarter 2021 acquisition of MYR. TheMYR, we recorded a liability for contingent consideration, of $341 million as ofwhich is revalued each reporting period until the acquisition daterelated contingency is remeasured on a recurring basis. The estimated fair value of this contingent liability was $328 million as of September 30, 2021.

Fair Value Level Transfers
There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in the periods presented.

The aggregate fair value of investments with unrealized losses was $2.1 billion and $2.0 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. No allowance for credit losses was recognized for investments with unrealized losses as of September 30, 2022, as we do not currently intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell, such investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases. The unrealized losses were primarily driven by broader change in interest rates with no adverse conditions identified that would prevent the issuer from making scheduled principal and interest payments.

5.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our operations in foreign countries expose us to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and various foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. To manage this risk, we may hedge a portion of our foreign currency exposureexposures related to outstanding monetary assets and liabilities as well as forecasted product sales using foreign currency exchange forward or option contracts. In general, the market risk related to these contracts is offset by corresponding gains and losses on the hedged transactions. The credit risk associated with these contracts is driven by changes in interest and currency exchange rates and, as a result, varies over time. By working only with major banks and closely monitoring current market conditions, we seek to limit the risk that counterparties to these contracts may be unable to perform. We also seek to limit our risk of loss by entering into contracts that permit net settlement at maturity. Therefore, our overall risk of loss in the event of a counterparty default is limited to the amount of any unrealized gains on outstanding contracts (i.e., those contracts that have a positive fair value) at the date of default. We do not enter into derivative contracts for trading purposes.
We hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for certain monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The derivative instruments we use to hedge this exposureour exposures for certain monetary assets and liabilities are not designated as hedges and, as a result, changes in their fair value are recorded in Other income (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.Income.
We hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations for forecasted product sales that are denominated in a non-functional currency. The derivative instruments we use to hedge this exposureour exposures for forecasted product sales are designated as cash flow hedges and have maturities of 18 months or less. Upon executing a hedging contract and quarterlyeach reporting period thereafter, we assess hedge effectiveness using regression analysis. The unrealized gains or losses on these hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and are reclassified into productProduct sales on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when the respective hedged transactions affect earnings. The majority of gains and losses related to the hedged forecasted transactions reported in AOCI as of September 30, 20212022 are expected to be reclassified to productProduct sales within 12 months.
The cash flow effects of our derivative contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 were included within Net cash provided by operating activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

6.    ACQUISITIONS
We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which generally requires that assets acquired, including in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) projects, and liabilities assumed be recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Any excess of consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as they are incurred. The first quarter 2021 acquisition of MYR and the fourth quarter 2020 acquisition of Immunomedics were accounted for as business combinations.
When the net assets acquired do not meet the definition of a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting, the transaction is accounted for as an acquisition of assets. For an asset acquisition, no goodwill is recorded and contingent consideration, such as payments upon achievement of various development, regulatory and commercial milestones, generally is not recognized as of the acquisition date. In an asset acquisition, upfront payments allocated to IPR&D projects at the acquisition date and subsequent milestone payments are expensed unless there is an alternative future use. The second quarter 2020 acquisition of Forty Seven, Inc. (“Forty Seven”) was accounted for as an asset acquisition.
MYR
In the first quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisition of MYR, a German biotechnology company. MYR focuses on the development and commercialization of therapeutics for the treatment of HDV. The acquisition provided Gilead with Hepcludex, which was conditionally approved by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) in July 2020 for the treatment of chronic HDV infection in adults with compensated liver disease. Upon closing, MYR became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gilead. The financial results of MYR were included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of the acquisition. Acquisition-related expenses were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
The aggregate consideration for this acquisition of €1.3 billion (or $1.6 billion) primarily consists of €1.0 billion (or $1.2 billion) paid upon closing and contingent consideration of up to €300 million, subject to customary adjustments, representing a potential future milestone payment upon FDA approval of Hepcludex. The fair value of this contingent liability, estimated using probability-weighted scenarios for FDA approval, was $341 million as of the acquisition date and was initially recorded in Other long-term obligations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the second quarter of 2021, the balance was reclassified to Accrued and other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of the contingent liability was $328 million as of September 30, 2021. The change in estimated fair value from the acquisition date was primarily due to the effect of foreign exchange remeasurement.
The fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based upon valuations using information known and knowable as of the date of this filing. Changes to these assumptions and estimates could cause an impact to the valuation of assets acquired, including intangible assets, goodwill and the related tax impacts of the acquisition, as well as legal and other contingencies. The amounts recognized will be finalized as the information necessary to complete the analysis is obtained, but no later than one year after the acquisition date.
The following table summarizes estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

Intangible Assets
The finite-lived intangible asset of $845 million represents the estimated fair value of Hepcludex for HDV in Europe as of the acquisition date. The fair value was determined by applying the income approach using unobservable inputs to estimate probability-weighted net cash flows attributable to Hepcludex for HDV in Europe and a discount rate of 12%. The discount rate used represents the estimated rate that market participants would use to value this intangible asset. This intangible asset is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years.
Acquired intangible assets related to IPR&D consist of Hepcludex for HDV in all other regions without regulatory approval, including the United States. The estimated aggregate fair value of $1.2 billion as of the acquisition date was determined by applying the income approach using unobservable inputs to estimate probability-weighted net cash flows attributable to this asset and a discount rate of 12%. The discount rate used represents the estimated rate that market participants would use to value this intangible asset.
Some of the more significant assumptions inherent in the development of intangible asset fair values include: estimates of projected future cash flows including revenues and operating profits; probability of success; the discount rate selected; the life of the potential commercialized products and the risks related to the viability of and potential alternative treatments in any future target markets, among other factors.
Intangible assets related to IPR&D projects are considered to be indefinite-lived assets until the completion or abandonment of the associated R&D efforts.
The inputs used for valuing these identifiable intangibles are unobservable and considered Level 3 under the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance. See Note 3. Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
Deferred Income Taxes
The net deferred tax liability was based upon the difference between the estimated book basis and tax basis of net assets acquired and an estimate for the final pre-acquisition net operating losses of MYR.
Goodwill
The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $226 million was recorded as goodwill, which primarily reflects the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill recognized for MYR is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
There were no material measurement period adjustments recorded to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
Immunomedics
In the fourth quarter of 2020, we completed the acquisition of Immunomedics, a company focused on the development of antibody-drug conjugate technology, for cash consideration of $20.6 billion. Upon closing, Immunomedics became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gilead. The acquisition was financed with the majority of the proceeds from the September 2020 senior unsecured notes offering, an additional $1.0 billion borrowing under a new senior unsecured term loan facility and cash on hand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repaid the borrowing under the senior unsecured term loan facility. See Note 10. Debt and Credit Facilities for further information.

In the second quarter of 2020, we completed the acquisition of Forty Seven, a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on developing therapies targeting cancer immune evasion pathways and specific cell targeting approaches, for total consideration of $4.7 billion, net of acquired cash. Upon closing, Forty Seven became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gilead. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a $4.5 billion charge representing an acquired IPR&D asset with no alternative future use in Acquired in-process research and development expenses, and stock-based compensation expense of $144 million primarily in Research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We also continue to pursuehave equity investments in third parties focused on the development and commercialization of products and product candidates.
Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. (“Merck”)Acquisitions
MiroBio
On March 13, 2021,September 20, 2022, we entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Merck, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. to jointly develop and commercialize long-acting investigational treatments in HIV that combine Gilead’s investigational capsid inhibitor, lenacapavir, and Merck’s investigational nucleoside reverse transcriptase translocation inhibitor, islatravir. The collaboration will initially focus on long-acting oral and injectable formulations.
Under the terms of the agreement, Gilead and Merck will share global development and commercialization costs at 60% and 40%, respectively, across the oral and injectable formulation programs. For long-acting oral products, Gilead will lead commercialization in the United States, and Merck will lead commercialization in the European Union (“EU”) and rest of the world. For long-acting injectable products, Merck will lead commercialization in the United States and Gilead will lead commercialization in the EU and rest of the world. Gilead and Merck will jointly promote the combination products in the United States and certain other major markets. We will share global product revenues with Merck equally until product revenues surpass certain pre-determined per formulation revenue tiers. Upon passing $2.0 billion in net product sales for the oral combination in a given calendar year, our share of revenue will increase to 65% for any revenues above the threshold for such calendar year. Upon passing $3.5 billion in net product sales for the injectable combination in a given calendar year, our share of revenue will increase to 65% for any revenues above the threshold for such calendar year. Reimbursements of research and development costs to or from Merck are recorded within Research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Expenses recognized under the agreement were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. No revenues have been recognized under the agreement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
We will also have the option to license certain of Merck’s investigational oral integrase inhibitors to develop in combination with lenacapavir. Reciprocally, Merck will have the option to license certain of Gilead’s investigational oral integrase inhibitors to develop in combination with islatravir. Each company may exercise its option for such investigational oral integrase inhibitor of the other company within the first five years after execution of the agreement, following completion of the first Phase 1 clinical trial of that integrase inhibitor. Upon exercise of an option, the companies will split development costs and revenues, unless the non-exercising company decides to opt-out, in which case the non-exercising company will be paid a royalty.
Arcus
On May 27, 2020, we entered into a transaction with Arcus, which included entry into an option, license and collaboration agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”) and a common stock purchase agreement and an investor rights agreement (together, and as subsequently amended the “Stock Purchase Agreements”). Under the Stock Purchase Agreements, we have the right to purchase additional shares of Arcus from Arcus over the five-year period beginning on the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreements, up to a maximum of 35%acquired all of the outstanding voting stock. We are subject toshare capital of MiroBio Ltd. (“MiroBio”), a three-year standstill, which period beganprivately-held U.K.-based biotechnology company focused on the date the parties entered into the Stock Purchase Agreements, restricting our ability to acquire voting stock of Arcus exceeding more than 35% of the then issued and outstanding voting stock of Arcus, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, we agreed not to dispose of any equity securities of Arcus prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreements without the prior consent of Arcus, subject to certain exceptions.

Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement and Stock Purchase Agreements which closed on July 13, 2020, and a separate secondary equity offering which closed on May 29, 2020, we acquired approximately 8.2restoring immune balance with agonists targeting immune inhibitory receptors, for $414 million shares of Arcus common stock for approximately $261 million. In the first quarter of 2021, we amended and restated the common stock purchase agreement and acquired approximately 5.7 million additional shares of Arcus common stock for $220 million.in cash. As a result, we currently ownMiroBio became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
We accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition and recorded a total of 13.8$389 million shares of Arcus, which represented approximately 19.5% of the issued and outstanding voting stock of Arcus immediately following the closing of the first quarter 2021 transaction. The amendment and restatement of the common stock purchase agreement in the first quarter of 2021 did not modify any of the terms above. We elected and applied the fair value optioncharge to account for our equity investment in Arcus whereby the investment is marked to market each reporting period based on the market price of Arcus shares. We believe the fair value option best reflects the underlying economics of the investment. Changes in fair value of the investment are recognized in Other income (expense), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We initially recorded our equity investments in Arcus in Other long-term assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the investments are subject to contractual lock-up provisions, subject to certain conditions. In the third quarter of 2021, we reclassified our equity investments in Arcus to Prepaid and other current assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the contractual lock-up provisions will expire in July 2022.
Other Arrangements
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we entered into several collaborations, equity investments and licensing arrangements as well as other similar arrangements that we do not consider to be individually material. We recorded upfront collaboration expenses related to these arrangements within Acquired in-process research and development expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. UpfrontIncome during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The remaining purchase price relates to various other assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
MYR
In the first quarter of 2021, we completed the acquisition of MYR, a German biotechnology company. MYR focuses on the development and commercialization of therapeutics for the treatment of HDV. The acquisition provided Gilead with Hepcludex, which was conditionally approved by the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) in July 2020 for the treatment of chronic HDV infection in adults with compensated liver disease. MYR is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gilead.
The aggregate consideration for this acquisition of €1.3 billion (or $1.6 billion) primarily consisted of €1.0 billion (or $1.2 billion) paid upon closing and contingent consideration of up to €300 million, subject to customary adjustments, representing a potential future milestone payment upon FDA approval of Hepcludex. The fair value of this contingent liability, estimated using probability-weighted scenarios for FDA approval, was $341 million as of the acquisition date. The fair value of this contingent liability was $249 million as of September 30, 2022 and recorded in Other long-term obligations in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 3. Fair Value Measurements for additional information.
The acquisition of MYR was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The one-year measurement period was completed in the first quarter of 2022, with adjustments recorded to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $18 million. See Note 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information.
Collaborations and Other Arrangements
Dragonfly
In April 2022, we entered into a strategic research collaboration expensesagreement (the “Dragonfly Collaboration Agreement”) with Dragonfly Therapeutics, Inc. (“Dragonfly”) to develop natural killer (“NK”) cell engager-based immunotherapies for oncology and cash paymentsinflammation indications. Under the terms of the Dragonfly Collaboration Agreement, we received an exclusive, worldwide license from Dragonfly for the 5T4-targeting investigational immunotherapy program, DF7001, as well as options, after the completion of certain preclinical activities, to license exclusive, worldwide rights to develop and commercialize additional NK cell engager programs using the Dragonfly Tri-specific NK Engager platform. Upon the closing of the Dragonfly Collaboration Agreement, we made a $300 million upfront payment to Dragonfly, and we made an additional $15 million payment related to a target selection in connection with an August 2022 amendment to the agreement, which were recorded in Acquired in-process research and development expenses on our equity investmentsCondensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These payments were not materialclassified as Acquisitions, including in-process research and development, net of cash acquired in Investing Activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, Dragonfly is eligible to receive performance-based development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $630 million related to the DF7001 program with further commercial milestone payments and royalties on worldwide net sales if certain products are successfully developed and approved. If we exercise our options on additional NK cell engager programs, Dragonfly would be eligible to receive opt-in payments and performance-based development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments and royalties on worldwide net sales on these optioned programs as well.

Arcus
In 2020, we entered into an option, license and collaboration agreement with Arcus (the “Arcus Collaboration Agreement”), which granted us the right to opt in to all current and future clinical-stage product candidates for up to ten years following the closing of the transaction. In November 2021, we exercised our options to three of the clinical-stage programs and amended the Arcus Collaboration Agreement. The option exercise and amendment transaction closed in December 2021, triggering collaboration opt-in payments of $725 million and waiving a $100 million option continuation payment which would have been due to Arcus in the third quarter of 2022. The collaboration opt-in payments of $725 million were recorded in Accrued and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021 and paid to Arcus in January 2022. Our payments to Arcus were included in Acquisitions, including in-process research and development, net of cash acquired in Investing Activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

IPR&D Impairment
In addition,connection with our acquisition of Immunomedics in 2020, we may be requiredallocated a portion of the purchase price to pay significant royalties on future sales if productsacquired IPR&D intangible assets. Approximately $8.8 billion was assigned to IPR&D intangible assets related to these arrangementsTrodelvy for treatment of patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (“HR+/HER2-”) metastatic breast cancer. In March 2022, we received data from the Phase 3 TROPiCS-02 study evaluating Trodelvy in patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer who have received prior endocrine therapy, cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors and two to four lines of chemotherapy (“third-line plus patients”). Based on our evaluation of the study results, and in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the first quarter, we updated our estimate of the fair value of our HR+/HER2- IPR&D intangible asset to $6.1 billion as of March 31, 2022. Our estimate of fair value used a probability-weighted income approach that discounts expected future cash flows to the present value, which requires the use of Level 3 fair value measurements and inputs, including estimated revenues, costs, and probability of technical and regulatory success. The expected cash flows included cash flows from HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer for third-line plus patients and patients in earlier lines of therapy which are commercialized. The paymentthe subject of these amounts, however,separate clinical studies. Our revised discounted cash flows were lower primarily due to a delay in launch timing for third-line plus patients which caused a decrease in our market share assumptions based on the expected competitive environment. There were no changes in our plans or assumptions related to our estimated cash flows for patients in the earlier lines of therapy. We used a discount rate of 6.75% which is contingent uponbased on the occurrenceestimated weighted-average cost of various future events, which havecapital for companies with profiles similar to ours and represents the rate that market participants would use to value the intangible assets. We determined the revised estimated fair value was below the carrying value of the asset and, as a high degreeresult, we recognized a partial impairment charge of uncertainty$2.7 billion in In-process research and development impairment on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of occurrence.Income during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

1110.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various legal actions. The mostCertain significant of thesematters are described below. We recognize accruals for such actions to the extent that we conclude that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. We accrue for the best estimate of a loss within a range; however, if no estimate in the range is better than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount in the range. If we determine that a material loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be estimated, we disclose the possible loss. Unless otherwise noted, it is not possible to determine the outcome of these matters or the outcome (including in excess of any accrual)either is not expected to be material andor is not possible to determine such that we cannot reasonably estimate the maximum potential exposure or the range of possible loss. In the third quarter of 2021, we reversed a $175 million previously recorded litigation accrual following a favorable court decision.
22


We did not have any material accruals for the matters described below on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021 and2022. As of December 31, 2020.2021, we recorded an accrual of $1.25 billion in Accrued and other current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets for the previously disclosed legal settlement related to the bictegravir litigation, which we paid in February 2022.
Litigation Related to Sofosbuvir
In 2012, we acquired Pharmasset, Inc. Through the acquisition, we acquired sofosbuvir, a nucleotide analog that acts to inhibit the replication of the HCV. In 2013, we received approval from FDA for sofosbuvir, now known commercially as Sovaldi. Sofosbuvir is also included in all of our marketed HCV products. We have received a number of litigation claims regarding sofosbuvir. While we have carefully considered these claims both prior to and following the acquisition and believe they are without merit, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of such claims or range of loss.
We are aware of patents and patent applications owned by third parties that have been or may in the future be alleged by such parties to cover the use of our HCV products. If third parties obtain valid and enforceable patents, and successfully prove infringement of those patents by our HCV products, we could be required to pay significant monetary damages. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of intellectual property claims related to our HCV products. We have spent, and will continue to spend, significant resources defending against these claims.
Litigation with the University of Minnesota
The University of Minnesota (the “University”) has obtained U.S. Patent No. 8,815,830 (the “’830 patent”), which purports to broadly cover nucleosides with antiviral and anticancer activity. In 2016, the University filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, alleging that the commercialization of sofosbuvir-containing products infringes the ’830 patent. We believe the ’830 patent is invalid and will not be infringed by the continued commercialization of sofosbuvir. In 2017, the court granted our motion to transfer the case to California. We have also filed petitions for inter partes review with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) alleging that all asserted claims are invalid for anticipation and obviousness. The PTAB instituted one of these petitions and a merits hearing was held in February 2021. In 2018, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California stayed the litigation until after the PTAB concludesconcluded the inter partes review that it hashad initiated. In May 2021, the PTAB issued a written decision finding the asserted claims of the University’s patent invalid. In July 2021, the University appealed this decision. The litigation in the U.S. District Court will remain stayed through the appeal proceedings.
Litigation with NuCana plc. (“NuCana”)
NuCana has obtained European Patent No. 2,955,190 (the “EP ’190 patent”) that allegedly covers sofosbuvir. In Oppositionopposition proceedings before the European Patent Office (“EPO”) held in February 2021, the EPO Opposition Division upheld the validity of the EP ’190 patent in amended form. The EPO has now scheduled the appeal hearing for December 2023. We continue to believe that the amended EP ’190 patent claims are invalid. Subsequently,Subsequent to the EPO opposition decision, we initiated proceedings to invalidate the UKU.K. counterpart of the EP ’190 patent in the High Court of England & Wales. In March 2021, NuCana filed a counterclaim against us in the High Court of England & Wales alleging patent infringement of the UKU.K. counterpart and seeking damages and other relief. The hearing date for the U.K. NuCana case has been scheduled for January 2023.
In April 2021, NuCana also filed a lawsuit against us in Germany at the Landgericht Düsseldorf alleging patent infringement of the German counterpart of the EP ’190 patent and seeking damages and otherinjunctive relief. The hearing dateIn April 2022, we filed an action for grant of a compulsory license before the Federal Patent Court in Germany. In July 2022, the Düsseldorf court determined that NuCana’s German NuCana case has been scheduled for May 2022.

counterpart of the EP ’190 patent is infringed and granted an injunction. In August 2022, Gilead filed a notice of appeal regarding the Düsseldorf court’s decision.
Litigation Related to Axicabtagene Ciloleucel
In October 2017, Juno Therapeutics, Inc. and Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (collectively, “Juno”) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging that the commercialization of axicabtagene ciloleucel, sold commercially as Yescarta, infringes on U.S. Patent No. 7,446,190 (the “’190 patent”). A jury trial was held on the ’190 patent, and in December 2019, the jury found that the asserted claims of the ’190 patent were valid, and that we willfully infringed the asserted claims of the ’190 patent. The jury also awarded Juno damages in amounts of $585 million in an up-frontupfront payment and a 27.6% running royalty from October 2017 through the date of the jury’s verdict. The parties filed post-trial motions in the first quarter of 2020, and the trial judge entered a judgment in April 2020. The trial judge affirmed the jury’s verdict, enhanced the past damages by 50% and maintained the royalties on future Yescarta sales at 27.6%. In April 2020, we filed an appeal seeking to reverse the judgment or obtain a new trial due to errors made by the trial judge, and in July 2021, the appeals court heard oral arguments. In August 2021, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “CAFC”) reversed the jury verdict, finding the asserted claims of Juno’s patent invalid. In October 2021, Juno filed a petition for rehearing with the CAFC. In January 2022, the CAFC denied Juno’s petition for rehearing. In June 2022, Juno filed a petition for certiorari seeking a review by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has not yet ruled on Juno’s petition. We believe that the likelihood of a material adverse outcome in this matter is remote.
Litigation Related to Bictegravir
In 2018, ViiV Healthcare Company (“ViiV”) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, alleging that the commercialization of bictegravir, sold commercially in combination with tenofovir alafenamide and emtricitabine as Biktarvy, infringes ViiV’s U.S. Patent No. 8,129,385 (the “’385 patent”) covering ViiV’s dolutegravir. Bictegravir is structurally different from dolutegravir, and we believe that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of the ’385 patent. The court has set a trial date of January 2022 for this lawsuit. ViiV is seeking billions of dollars for alleged damages comprised of ViiV’s lost profits and a royalty on sales of bictegravir from launch through the trial. ViiV calculates these damages based on the cumulative U.S. revenues from Biktarvy since launch, which have totaled $16.4 billion through September 30, 2021. In addition, should a court find that we are liable for infringement, we expect ViiV will seek a royalty on sales after the trial. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of this litigation, an adverse judgment could result in substantial monetary damages, including ViiV’s lost profits and royalties through trial, and a going-forward royalty stream on future sales.
In 2018, ViiV also filed a lawsuit against us in the Federal Court of Canada, alleging that our activities relating to our bictegravir compound have infringed ViiV’s Canadian Patent No. 2,606,282 (the “’282 patent”), which was issued to Shionogi & Co. Ltd. and ViiV. The ’282 patent is the compound patent covering ViiV’s dolutegravir. We believe that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of the ’282 patent. In January 2020, the court held a summary trial to assess ViiV’s infringement allegations. In April 2020, the court determined that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of the ’282 patent and dismissed the case. ViiV appealed this decision, and in June 2021, the Canadian Federal Court of Appeal upheld the Federal Court of Canada’s decision. ViiV has sought leave to appeal to the Canadian Supreme Court.
In November and December 2019, ViiV filed lawsuits in France, Germany, Ireland and the UK asserting the relevant national designations of European Patent No. 3 045 206 (“EP ’206”); in Australia asserting Australian Patent No. 2006239177; in Japan asserting Japanese Patent No. 4295353; and in Korea asserting Korean Patent Nos. 1848819 (“KR ’819”) and 1363875. These patents all relate to molecules that ViiV claims would act as integrase inhibitors. We believe that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of any of ViiV’s patents. In 2019, we filed an opposition in the EPO requesting revocation of EP ’206. The EPO hearing took place in January 2021, and the patent claims, which do not cover bictegravir, were maintained in amended form. Both parties have appealed this decision. Additionally, in 2020, we filed a petition in the Korean Intellectual Property Office requesting invalidation of KR ’819. Following a trial, a tribunal of the Korean Intellectual Property Trial and Appeal Board found KR ’819 to be invalid. In March 2021, ViiV appealed this decision. In April 2021, the court in Germany held a hearing on the issue of infringement, and in September 2021, determined that Gilead does not infringe ViiV’s EP ’206 patent both in its original form and as amended by the EPO. ViiV has appealed this decision.
In all jurisdictions, to the extent that the claims of ViiV’s patents are interpreted to cover bictegravir, we believe that those claims are invalid. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of intellectual property claims related to bictegravir.

Litigation Relating to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis
In August 2019, we filed petitions requesting inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,044,509, 9,579,333, 9,937,191 and 10,335,423 (collectively, “HHS Patents”) by PTAB. The HHS Patents are assigned to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) and purport to claim a process of protecting a primate host from infection by an immunodeficiency retrovirus by administering a combination of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (“TDF”) or TDFtenofovir alafenamide (“TAF”) prior to exposure of the host to the immunodeficiency retrovirus, a process commonly known as pre-exposure prophylaxis (“PrEP”). In November 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, alleging that the sale of Truvada and Descovy for use as PrEP infringes the HHS Patents. In February 2020, PTAB declined to institute our petitions for inter partes review of the HHS Patents. In April 2020, we filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the U.S. federal government in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, alleging violations of 4four material transfer agreements (“MTAs”) related to the research underlying the HHS Patents and a clinical trial agreement (“CTA”) by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention related to PrEP research. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of these litigation matters, we believe that the U.S. federal government breached the MTAs and CTA, that Truvada and Descovy do not infringe the HHS Patents and that the HHS Patents are invalid over prior art descriptions of Truvada’s use for PrEP and post-exposure prophylaxis as well because physicians and patients were using the claimed methods years before HHS filed the applications for the patents. A trial date for the bifurcated portion of the lawsuit in the Court of Federal Claims has been set forwas held in June 2022, post-trial briefing is now complete, and a decision is not expected until after closing arguments, which were held in October 2022.A trial date for the lawsuit in the Delaware District Court of Delaware has been set for May 2023.
Litigation with Generic Manufacturers
As part of the approval process for some of our products, FDA granted us a New Chemical Entity (“NCE”) exclusivity period during which other manufacturers’ applications for approval of generic versions of our product will not be approved. Generic manufacturers may challenge the patents protecting products that have been granted NCE exclusivity one year prior to the end of the NCE exclusivity period. Generic manufacturers have sought and may continue to seek FDA approval for a similar or identical drug through an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”), the application form typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug. The sale of generic versions of our products earlier thanprior to their patent expiration would have a significant negative effect on our revenues and results of operations. To seek approval for a generic version of a product having NCE status, a generic company may submit its ANDA to FDA four years after the branded product’s approval.
Starting in December 2019, we received letters from Lupin Ltd. (“Lupin”), Apotex Inc., Shilpa Medicare Ltd. (“Shilpa”), Sunshine Lake Pharma Co. Ltd. (“Sunshine Lake”), Laurus Labs (“Laurus”), Natco Pharma Ltd. (“Natco”), Macleods Pharma Ltd. (“Macleods”), Hetero Labs Ltd. (“Hetero”) and Cipla Ltd. (“Cipla”) (collectively, “generic manufacturers”“Generic Manufacturers”) indicating that they have submitted ANDAs to FDA requesting permission to market and manufacture generic versions of certain of our tenofovir alafenamide (“TAF”)-containingTAF-containing products. Between them, these generic manufacturersGeneric Manufacturers seek to market generic versions of Odefsey, Descovy and Vemlidy. Some generic manufacturersThe Generic Manufacturers have challenged the validity of 4two to four patents listed on the Orange Book and associated with TAF, while others have challenged the validity of 2 of our Orange Book-listed patents associated with TAF. We filed lawsuits against the generic manufacturers,Generic Manufacturers, and we intend to enforce and defend our intellectual property. In November 2021, we reached an agreement with Shilpa to resolve the lawsuit against Shilpa; in January 2022, we reached an agreement with Sunshine Lake to resolve the lawsuit against Sunshine Lake; and in May 2022, we reached an agreement with Natco to resolve the lawsuit against Natco. The settlement agreements have been filed with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice as required by law. In April 2022, the case against Laurus was dismissed after Laurus agreed not to challenge any of the Orange Book-listed patents associated with TAF.
In September 2022, we entered into settlement agreements with Lupin, Macleods, Hetero, Apotex Inc., and Cipla to resolve the litigation and patent challenges associated with Descovy, Vemlidy, and Odefsey in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. Pursuant to the settlement agreements, the manufacturers were granted a non-exclusive license in the United States to our patents on tenofovir alafenamide relating to Descovy and Vemlidy beginning on October 31, 2031, and to Odefsey beginning on January 31, 2032, or earlier in certain circumstances. The settlement agreements have been filed with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice as required by law.
In October 2021, we received a letter from Lupin Ltd. indicating that it has submitted an ANDA to the FDA requesting permission to market and manufacture a generic version of Symtuza, a product commercialized by Janssen and for which Gilead shares in revenues. In November 2021, we, along with Janssen Products, L.P. and Janssen (“Janssen”), filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Lupin as co-plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court of Delaware. We separately filed an additional lawsuit against Lupin asserting infringement of two additional patents in the same court. This second case has been stayed pending resolution of the generic litigation regarding our TAF-containing products. Trial has been scheduled for October 2023. In September 2022, we received a letter from Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp. (“Apotex”) stating that they have submitted an ANDA for a generic version of Symtuza. In October 2022, we, along with Janssen, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Apotex as co-plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court of Delaware. We are evaluatingseparately filed an additional lawsuit against Apotex asserting infringement of two additional patents in the lettersame court.

Starting in March 2022, we received letters from Lupin, Laurus and Cipla indicating that they have submitted ANDAs to FDA requesting permission to market and manufacture generic versions of Biktarvy. Lupin, Laurus, and Cipla have challenged the validity of three of the five patents listed in the Orange Book as associated with Biktarvy. We filed a lawsuit against Lupin, Laurus and Cipla in May 2022 in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, and intend to enforce and defend our intellectual property. Trial has been scheduled for December 2024.
European Patent Claims
In 2015, several parties filed oppositions in the EPO requesting revocation of one of our granted European patents covering sofosbuvir that expires in 2028. In 2016, the EPO upheld the validity of certain claims of our sofosbuvir patent.

The appeal process may take several years for all EPO opposition proceedings. While we are confident in the strength of our patents, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these oppositions. If we are unsuccessful in defending these oppositions, some or all of our patent claims may be narrowed or revoked and the patent protection for sofosbuvir, TAF and TAF hemifumarate and cobicistat in the European UnionEU could be substantially shortened or eliminated entirely. If our patents are revoked, and no other European patents are granted covering these compounds, our exclusivity may be based entirely on regulatory exclusivity granted by EMA. If we lose patent protection for any of these compounds, our revenues and results of operations could be negatively impacted for the years including and succeeding the year in which such exclusivity is lost.
Antitrust and Consumer Protection
We, (alongalong with Japan Tobacco, Inc. (“Japan Tobacco”), Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (“BMS”) and Johnson & Johnson, Inc.), have been named as defendants in class action lawsuits filed in 2019 and 2020 related to various drugs used to treat HIV, including drugs used in combination antiretroviral therapy. Japan Tobacco was dismissed from the lawsuit after a favorable court ruling on the defendants’ motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs allege that we (and the other remaining defendants) engaged in various conduct to restrain competition in violation of federal and state antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws. The lawsuits, which have been consolidated, are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuits seek to bring claims on behalf of two nationwide classes - classes—one of direct purchasers consisting largely of wholesalers, and another of indirect or end-payor purchasers, including health insurers and individual patients. Plaintiffs seek damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief. In Septemberthe second half of 2021 and first half of 2022, several plaintiffs filed separate lawsuits effectively opting out of the class action cases, asserting claims that are substantively the same as the putative classes.These cases have been coordinated with the class actions. Trial has been set for March 2023.

Jacksonville Trust claims that the 2014 settlement agreement between us and the Cipla Defendants, which settled a patent dispute relating to patents covering our Emtriva, Truvada and Atripla products and permitted generic entry prior to patent expiry, violates certain federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The Plaintiff seeks damages, permanent injunctive relief and other relief.

ForHIV
HIV product sales increased by 7% and 5% to $4.5 billion and $12.4 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to changes in product and channel mix leading to higher average realized price and continued higher demand for Biktarvy worldwide, partially offset by lower demand for Truvada driven by the loss of exclusivity in the U.S., and for Genvoya, primarily due to patients switching to Biktarvy.
Veklury
Veklury product sales decreased by 52% and 31% to $925 million and $2.9 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily due to lower demand driven by reduced hospitalization rates in the U.S., partially offset by higher demand in Other International. Sales of Veklury are generally affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) related rates of infections and hospitalizations as well as the availability, uptake and effectiveness of vaccinations and alternative treatments for COVID-19. As a result, future sales of Veklury are difficult to predict and may vary significantly from one period to the next.
Total Product SalesHCV
TotalHCV product sales increased by 13%22% to $7.4 billion$524 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $6.5 billion for the same period in 2020, primarily due to increased sales of Veklury. The three months ended September 30, 2021 also reflects the continued growth of Biktarvy and the continued uptake of Trodelvy in the United States and Cell Therapy products in the United States and Europe. We obtained Trodelvy through the fourth quarter 2020 acquisition of Immunomedics, Inc. (“Immunomedics”). The increases were partially offset by lower HIV product sales, as expected, primarily due to the continued generic competition following the October 2020 loss of exclusivity of Truvada and Atripla in the United States.
HIV
HIV product sales decreased by 8% to $4.2 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $4.5 billion for the same period in 2020. The decline was primarily due to the anticipated decline in sales volume of our Truvada (emtricitabine (“FTC”) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (“TDF”))-based products driven by the continued generic competition following the October 2020 loss of exclusivity of Truvada and Atripla in the United States. Truvada and Atripla product sales were $528 million lower for the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022, compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was also impacted by lower channel inventory,2021, primarily driven by pandemic-related stocking as compareddue to the same perioda favorable resolution of a prior year rebate claim in 2020 as well as lower sales of Descovy driven by lower average net selling priceEurope and lower sales of Genvoya driven by volume. The decline was partially offset by an increase in Biktarvy product sales driven by higher demand and higher average net selling price. We expect Truvada sales to continue to decline for the remainder of 2021 and beyond as multiple generics are expected to enter the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our HIV business. In the United States, as anticipated, we continued to see a modest recoveryother favorable pricing dynamics in the HIV treatment market volume in the third quarter of 2021; however, it may take several quarters for the U.S. treatment market to return to pre-pandemic levels.
HCV
HCV product sales decreased by 8% to $429 million$1.4 billion for the threenine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, compared to $464 million for the same period in 2020,2021, primarily driven bydue to fewer patient starts due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower average net selling price.price, partially offset by a favorable resolution of a prior year rebate claim in Europe.
Hepatitis B Virus (“HBV”)HBV / Hepatitis Delta Virus (“HDV”)HDV
HBV and HDV product sales increased by 17%7% and 4% to $247$264 million and $733 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, respectively, compared to $211 million for the same periodperiods in 2020,2021, primarily due to higher demand for Vemlidy sales volume driven by increased demand primarilyand the continued uptake of Hepcludex in geographies outside the United States. Hepcludex sales were $12 million as launch activities continued across Europe following our first quarter 2021 acquisition of MYR GmbH (“MYR”).
35


Veklury
Veklury product sales were $1.9 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $873 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher hospital demand consistent with the recent surge in COVID-19 cases. While sales of Veklury are generally affected by, among other things, COVID-19 related rates of infections, hospitalizations and vaccinations, and will continue to be subject to significant volatility and uncertainty, we expect Veklury sales to reduce significantly in the fourth quarter of 2021 as hospitalization rates decline.Europe.
Cell Therapy
Cell Therapytherapy product sales increased by 51%79% and 65% to $222$398 million and $1.0 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, respectively, compared to $147 million for the same periodperiods in 2020,2021, primarily due to the continued demanduptake of Yescarta for the treatment of relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma and strong uptake in relapsed or refractory indolent follicular lymphomar/r LBCL in the United StatesU.S. and Europe. The increase was also driven by higher Tecartus sales volumevolumes resulting from expansion of use in the U.S. and Europe for the treatment of mantle cell lymphoma and continued adoption in adult patients with r/r ALL in the United States and Europe.U.S.

The nine months ended September 30, 2021 also reflects the continued growth of Biktarvy in all geographies and the continued uptake of Trodelvy and Cell Therapy and HBV/HDV products. The increases were partially offset by a decline in HIV product sales, as well as lower HCV product sales driven by fewer patient starts. The decrease in HIV product sales, as expected, was primarily due to the continued generic competition following the October 2020 loss of exclusivity of Truvada and Atripla in the United States.
36


HIV
HIV product sales decreased by 7% to $11.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $12.7 billion for the same period in 2020, primarily due to the anticipated decline in sales volume of our Truvada (FTC/TDF)-based products driven by the continued generic competition following the October 2020 loss of exclusivity of Truvada and Atripla in the United States. Truvada and Atripla product sales were $1.2 billion lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease was also impacted by lower sales of Descovy driven by lower average net selling price and lower sales of Genvoya driven by volume.

Veklury
Veklury product sales were $4.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $873 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher hospital demand. Veklury became commercially available in the third quarter of 2020 resulting in partial year sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Cell Therapy
Cell Therapy product sales increased by 42% to $632 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $444 million for the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher sales volume of Yescarta and Tecartus in the United States and Europe.

Cost of Goods Sold and Product Gross Margin
Cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $82 million and $800 million, or 7% and 25%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily due to higher acquisition-related expenses from amortization of finite-lived intangible assets and inventory step-up charges driven by our acquisitions of Immunomedics and MYR, as well as higher product sales and inventory reserves. The increases were partially offset by the reversal of a previously recorded $175 million litigation reserve following a favorable court decision and a decrease in royalty expenses primarily due to lower sales of products containing emtricitabine and elvitegravir.
Product gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2021,2022 decreased to 80.0% compared to 83.4% for the same period in 2020, increased2021, primarily due to a favorable court decision in the third quarter of 2021 that led to the reversal of the previously recorded $175 million litigation reserve during that period, higher royalty expenses driven by Biktarvy royalties and changes in product mix, partially offset by lower inventory reserve adjustments.
Product gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 decreased to 78.3% compared to 80.0% for the same period in 2021, primarily due to the reversal of the aforementioned previously recorded litigation reserve following a favorable court decision, lowerhigher royalty expenses and changedriven by Biktarvy royalties, changes in product mix partially offset by higher amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets.

We do not track total R&D expenses by product candidate, therapeutic area or development phase. However, we manage our R&D expenses by identifying the R&D activities we anticipate will be performed during a given period and then prioritizing efforts based on scientific data, probability of technical and regulatory successful development, market potential, available human and capital resources and other considerations. We continually review our R&D projects based on unmet medical need and, as necessary, reallocate resources among our internal R&D portfolio and external opportunities that we believe will best support the long-term growth of our business.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses
Acquired IPR&Din-process research and development expenses reflect IPR&D impairments as well as the initial costs of externally developed IPR&D projects, acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, that do not have an alternative future use, including upfront and other payments related to various collaborations and the initial costs of rights to IPR&D projects. IPR&D assets capitalized are tested for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year, or earlier if impairment indicators exist. No IPR&D impairment charges were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Acquired IPR&D expenses of $19$448 million and $177$786 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, respectively, wereprimarily related to a $389 million charge associated with our acquisition of MiroBio in September 2022 and a $300 million upfront payment associated with the collaboration with Dragonfly Therapeutics, Inc., which we entered into in April 2022. Expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily related to smaller licensing, collaboration, investment and other arrangements we entered into during the periods. AcquiredSee Note6. Acquisitions, Collaborations and Other Arrangements of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
In-Process Research and Development Impairment
In connection with our acquisition of Immunomedics in 2020, we allocated a portion of the purchase price to acquired IPR&D expensesintangible assets. Approximately $8.8 billion was assigned to IPR&D intangible assets related to Trodelvy for treatment of $1.2patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. In March 2022, we received data from the Phase 3 TROPiCS-02 study evaluating Trodelvy in patients with HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer who have received prior endocrine therapy, CDK4/6 inhibitors and two to four lines of chemotherapy (“third-line plus patients”). Based on our evaluation of the study results, and in connection with the preparation of the financial statements for the first quarter, we updated our estimate of the fair value of our HR+/HER2- IPR&D intangible asset to $6.1 billion as of March 31, 2022. Our estimate of fair value used a probability-weighted income approach that discounts expected future cash flows to the present value. The expected cash flows included cash flows from HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer for third-line plus patients and patients in earlier lines of therapy which are the subject of separate clinical studies. Our revised discounted cash flows were lower primarily due to a delay in launch timing for third-line plus patients which caused a decrease in our market share assumptions based on the expected competitive environment. There were no changes in our plans or assumptions related to our estimated cash flows for patients in the earlier lines of therapy. We determined the revised estimated fair value was below the carrying value of the asset and, as a result, we recognized a partial impairment charge of $2.7 billion in In-process research and development impairment on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended September 30, 2020 included chargesMarch 31, 2022. The remaining balance of the IPR&D intangible asset for the HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer indication can be ascribed to cash flows from earlier lines of therapy, where we have Phase 3 pivotal studies in development, in addition to the revised cash flows related to the third-line plus patient setting. If future events result in adverse changes in the key assumptions used in determining fair value, including the timing of product launches, information on the competitive landscape of treatments in this indication, changes to the probability of technical or regulatory success, failure to obtain anticipated regulatory approval or discount rate, among others, additional impairments may be recorded and could be material to our collaborations andfinancial statements. No other investments we entered into during the quarter with Arcus, Pionyr, Tango and Tizona. Acquired IPR&D expenses of $5.8 billion forimpairment charges were recorded during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 also included a $4.5 billion charge recorded in connection with the second quarter 2020 acquisition of Forty Seven.2022 and 2021.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses relate to sales and marketing, finance, human resources, legal and other administrative activities, including information technology investments. Expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, facilities and overhead costs, outside marketing, advertising and legal expenses and otherSelling, general and administrative costs. SG&A expenses also include the branded prescription drug fee.
SG&A expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 increased by $84 million or 8%, compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher promotional and marketing activities across all geographies, partially offset by lower commercial activities in inflammation.
SG&A expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, increased by $175 million or 5%,2022 remained relatively unchanged compared to the same periodperiods in 2020,2021. Slightly higher expenses in 2022 related primarily due to an expense of $212 million related to the donation of certain equity securities at fair valueincreased spending on promotional and marketing activities and information technology projects, partially offset by a reduction in donations to the Gilead Foundation, a California nonprofit organization (the “Foundation”), during the second quarter of 2021. SG&A expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a second quarter 2020 charge of $97 million related to a Department of Justice investigation, which settled in the third quarter of 2020.Foundation.

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various market-specific and other relevant assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates are assessed each period and updated to reflect current information, such as the economic considerations related to the impact that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic could have on our significant accounting estimates.information. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates is presented in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There2021. With the exception of our revised estimates related to our HR+/HER2- IPR&D intangible assets as described in “Result of Operations” above, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.2022.

Item 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation as of September 30, 20212022 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” which are defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)“Exchange Act”), as controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021.2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2021,2022, and has concluded that there was no change during such quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met and, as set forth above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For a description of our significant pending legal proceedings, please see Note 11.10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A.     RISK FACTORS
In evaluating our business, you should carefully consider the following discussion of material risks, events and uncertainties that make an investment in us speculative or risky in addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. A manifestation of any of the following risks and uncertainties could, in circumstances we may or may not be able to accurately predict, materially and adversely affect our business and operations, growth, reputation (including the commercial or scientific reputation of our products), prospects, product pipeline and sales, operating and financial results, financial condition, cash flows, liquidity and stock price. We note these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors; our operations could also be affected by factors, events or uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations. Therefore, you should not consider the following risks to be a complete statement of all the potential risks or uncertainties that we face.
Product and Commercialization Risks
Certain of our products subject us to additional or heightened risks.
HIV Products
We receive a substantial portion of our revenue from sales of our products for the treatment and prevention of HIV infection. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, sales of our HIV products accounted for approximately 59%63% of our total product sales. We may be unable to sustain or increase sales of our HIV products for any number of reasons, including market share gains by competitive products, including generics, or the inability to introduce new HIV medications necessary to remain competitive. In such case, we may need to scale back our operations, including our future drug development and spending on research and development (“R&D”) efforts. For example, mostmany of our HIV products contain tenofovir alafenamide (“TAF”), tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (“TDF”) and/or emtricitabine (“FTC”), which belongbelongs to the nucleoside class of antiviral therapeutics, and any changes to the treatment paradigm for HIV may cause nucleoside-based therapeutics to fall out of favor.
Veklury
We face risks related to our supply and distribution of Veklury, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in October 2020 as a treatment for patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), in January 2022 as a treatment for non-hospitalized adult and adolescent patients who are at high risk of progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death, and in April 2022 as a treatment for pediatric patients who are older than 28 days, weighing at least 3 kg, and are either hospitalized with COVID-19.COVID-19 or have mild-to-moderate COVID-19 and are considered high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, including hospitalization or death. While the utilization of Veklury has largely tracked rates of COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and vaccinations, we are unable to accurately predict our revenues or supply needs over the short and long term due to the dynamic nature of the pandemic, including the potential for new and better therapeutics, the availability, uptake and effectiveness of vaccines and alternative treatments for COVID-19, fluctuating hospital utilization rates, and the emergence of new variants.variants and timing of surges in infection. If we are unable todo not accurately forecast demand or manufacture Veklury at levels sufficient to meet actual demand, then thiswe may result inexperience product shortages or build excess inventory that may be written off. We also remain subject to significant public attention and scrutiny over the complex decisions made regarding the clinical data, supply, allocation, distribution and pricing of Veklury, all of which affects our corporate reputation.

Cell Therapy
Advancing a novel and personalized therapy such as YescartaTecartus or Tecartus,Yescarta, which are Chimeric Antigen Receptorchimeric antigen receptor (“CAR”) T cellT-cell therapies, creates significant challenges, including:
educating and certifying medical personnel regarding the procedures and the potential side effects, such as cytokine release syndrome and neurologic toxicities, in compliance with the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy program required by FDA;
securing sufficient supply of other medications to manage side effects, such as tocilizumab and corticosteroids, which may not be available in sufficient quantities, may not adequately control the side effects and/or may have detrimental impacts on the efficacy of cell therapy;
developing and maintaining a robust and reliable process for engineering a patient’s T cells in our facilities and infusing them back into the patient; and
conditioning patients with chemotherapy in advance of administering our therapy, which may increase the risk of adverse side effects.
46


The use of engineered T cells as a potential cancer treatment is a recent development and may not be broadly accepted by physicians, patients, hospitals, cancer treatment centers, payers and others in the medical community. We may not be ableWhile FDA has approved some cell therapies, including Tecartus and Yescarta, we must continue to demonstrate to the medical community and payers the potential advantages of cell therapy compared to existing and future therapeutics. For challenges related to the reimbursement of YescartaTecartus and Tecartus,Yescarta, see also “Our existing products are subject to reimbursement pressures from government agencies and other third parties, required rebates and other discounts on our products and other pricing pressures.”
We rely on third-party sites to collect patients’ white blood cells, known as apheresis centers, as well as shippers, couriers, and hospitals for the logistical collection of patients’ white blood cells and ultimate delivery of Tecartus and Yescarta or Tecartus to patients. These vendors may encounter disruptions or difficulties that could result in product loss and regulatory action. Apheresis centers may also choose not to participate in our quality certification process, or we may be unable to complete such certification in a timely manner or at all, which could delay or constrain our manufacturing and commercialization efforts.
We operate a new automated CAR T-cell therapy manufacturing facility in Frederick, Maryland, which received FDA approval for commercial production in April 2022. We have not previously manufactured our products in an automated facility on a commercial scale, and as a result, we may require additional time and resources in order to effectively increase manufacturing capacity. We also operate a new retroviral vector manufacturing facility in Oceanside, California, which received FDA approval for commercial production in October 2022. We also have not previously manufactured viral vectors on a commercial scale, and as a result, we may require additional time and resources in order to effectively increase manufacturing capacity. In addition, we may not be able to produce or otherwise obtain an amount of viral vector supply sufficient to satisfy demand for our finished products. If we are unable to meet product demand, we will have difficulty meeting sales forecasts for our finished products.
Our success depends on developing and commercializing new products or expanding the indications for existing products.
If we are unable to launch commercially successful new products or new indications for existing products, our business will be adversely impacted. The launch of commercially successful products is necessary to grow our business, cover our substantial R&D expenses, and offset revenue losses when existing products lose market share due to factors such as competition and loss of patent exclusivity. There are many difficulties and uncertainties inherent in drug development and the introduction of new products. The product development cycle is characterized by significant investments of resources, long lead times and unpredictable outcomes due to the nature of developing medicines for human use. We expend significant time and resources on our product pipeline without any assurance that we will recoup our investments or that our efforts will be commercially successful. A high rate of failure is inherent in the discovery and development of new products, and failure can occur at any point in the process, including late in the process after substantial investment.
37


We face challenges in accurately forecasting sales because of the difficulties in predicting demand for our products and fluctuations in purchasing patterns or wholesaler inventories.
We may be unable to accurately predict demand for our products, including the uptake of new products, as demand depends on a number of factors. For example, product demand may be adversely affected if physicians do not see the benefit of our products. Additionally, the non-retail sector in the United States, which includes government institutions, including state AIDS Drug Assistance Programs, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, correctional facilities and large health maintenance organizations, tends to be less consistent in terms of buying patterns and often causes quarter-over-quarter fluctuations that do not necessarily mirror patient demand for our products. Federal and state budget pressures, as well as the annual grant cycles for federal and state funds, may cause purchasing patterns to not reflect patient demand for our products. We expect to continue to experience fluctuations in the purchasing patterns of our non-retail customers. In light of the budget crises faced by many European countries, we have observed variations in purchasing patterns induced by cost containment measures in Europe. We believe these measures have caused some government agencies and other purchasers to reduce inventory of our products in the distribution channels. Wechannels, and we may continue to see this trend in the future.
We sell and distribute most of our products in the United States exclusively through the wholesale channel. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, approximately 92%90% of our product sales in the United States were to three wholesalers, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc. and McKesson Corporation. The U.S. wholesalers with whom we have entered into inventory management agreements make estimates to determine end userend-user demand and may not be completely effective in matching their inventory levels to actual end userend-user demand. As a result, changes in inventory levels held by those wholesalers can cause our operating results to fluctuate unexpectedly if our sales to these wholesalers do not match end userend-user demand. In addition, inventory is held at retail pharmacies and other non-wholesaler locations with whom we have no inventory management agreements and no control over buying patterns. Adverse changes in economic conditions, increased competition or other factors may cause retail pharmacies to reduce their inventories of our products, which would reduce their orders from wholesalers and, consequently, the wholesalers’ orders from us, even if end userend-user demand has not changed. In addition, we have observed that strong wholesaler and sub-wholesaler purchases of our products in the fourth quarter typically results in inventory draw-down by wholesalers and sub-wholesalers in the subsequent first quarter. As inventory in the distribution channel fluctuates from quarter to quarter, we may continue to see fluctuations in our earnings and a mismatch between prescription demand for our products and our revenues.
47


We face significant competition from global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, specialized pharmaceutical firms and generic drug manufacturers.
New branded or generic products entering major markets affects our ability to maintain pricing and market share. Our products compete with other available products based primarily on efficacy, safety, tolerability, acceptance by doctors, ease of patient compliance, ease of use, price, insurance and other reimbursement coverage, distribution and marketing. A number of companies are pursuing the development of technologies which are competitive with our existing products or research programs. These competing companies include large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and specialized pharmaceutical firms acting either independently or together with other such companies. Furthermore, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private organizations conducting research may seek patent protection or may establish collaborative arrangements for competitive products or programs. We may be adversely impacted if any of these competitors gain market share as a result of new technologies, commercialization strategies or otherwise.
Our existing products are subject to reimbursement pressures from government agencies and other third parties, required rebates and other discounts on our products and other pricing pressures.
Product Reimbursements
Successful commercialization of our products depends, in part, on the availability of third-party payer reimbursement for the cost of such products and related treatments and medical services in the markets where we sell our products. Government health authorities, private health insurers and other organizations generally provide reimbursement. As our products mature, pricing pressures from private insurers and government payers often reduceresult in a reduction of the amount they will reimburse patients for these products, which increases pressure on us to reducenet product prices.
Legislative and regulatory actions affecting government prescription drug procurement and reimbursement programs occur relatively frequently. For example, in September 2020, FDA issued a final rule implementing a pathway for the importation of certain prescription drugs from Canada. This rule is subject to ongoing litigation. In addition, in November 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued an interim final rule that would substantially alter the Medicare Part B reimbursement system for physician-administered medicines as of January 1, 2021. This rule is subject to ongoing litigation and CMS has been preliminarily enjoined from implementing the rule. We may be adversely impacted by any such legislative and regulatory actions, though it is difficult to predict the impact, if any, on the use and reimbursement of our products.
38


Product Pricing, Discounts and Rebates
In the United States, the European Union (“EU”) and other significant or potentially significant markets for our products and product candidates, government authorities and third-party payers are increasingly attempting to limit or regulate the price of medical products and services. In the United States, the volume of drug pricing-related billslegislation has dramatically increased in recent years. For example, Congress has proposed bills to requireenacted laws requiring manufacturer refunds on certain amounts of discarded drug from single-use vials beginning in 2023 and eliminating the existing cap on Medicaid rebate amounts beginning in 2024. Also, in August 2022 Congress enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “Act”), which, among other changes, requires the Department of Health and Human Services to negotiate Medicare prices for certain drugs, change theimposes an inflation-based rebate on Medicare Part B and D utilization, restructures the Medicare Part D benefit to impose an inflation-based rebate when list prices for drugs grow faster than inflation,and increase manufacturer contributions in some or all of the Medicare Part D benefit phasesphases. We are continuing to evaluate the impact of the Act on our business, but it is possible that the Act could have the effect of limiting the prices we can charge and require manufacturer refundsincreasing the rebates we must provide government programs for our products, thereby reducing our profitability and negatively impacting our financial results. We cannot be sure whether additional legislation or rulemaking related to the Act will be issued or enacted, or what impact, if any, such changes will have on discarded drug from single-use vials.the profitability of our business in the future. In addition, many state legislatures are considering, or have already passed into law, legislation that seeks to indirectly or directly regulate pharmaceutical drug pricing, such as requiring manufacturers to publicly report proprietary pricing information, creating review boards for prices to state agencies, and encouraging the use of generic drugs. SuchThese initiatives and such other legislation may cause added pricing pressures on our products, and the resulting impact on our business is uncertain. Many countries outside the United States, including the European UnionEU member states, have established complex and lengthy procedures to obtain price approvals and coverage reimbursement and periodically review their pricing and reimbursement decisions. The outcome of this reviewthese reviews cannot be predicted and could have an adverse effect on the pricing and reimbursement of our medicinalmedical products in the European UnionEU member states. Reductions in the pricing of our medicinalmedical products in one member state could affect the price in other member states and have a negative impact on our financial results.
A substantial portion of our product sales is subject to significant discounts from list price, including rebates that we may be required to pay state Medicaid agencies and discounts provided to 340B covered entities. Changes to the 340B program or the Medicaid program at the federal or state level could have a material adverse effect on our business. For example, in December 2020, CMS issued a final rule that will make certain changesthe continued growth of the 340B program limits the prices we may charge on an increasing percentage of sales. Changes to the calculation of rebates under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program. Among other changes, effective January 1, 2023, the final rule will change the requirements for excluding manufacturer co-pay coupons from the Medicaid “best price.” These changes are subject to ongoing litigation. If these changes go into effect, theyprogram could substantially increase our Medicaid rebate obligations and decrease the prices we charge 340B covered entities. The continued growth
We recently implemented a contract pharmacy integrity initiative for our branded hepatitis C virus (“HCV”) products. This integrity initiative will not involve any products from Asegua Therapeutics LLC. Our integrity initiative requires covered entities that enter into 340B bill to/ship to arrangements with contract pharmacies for our branded HCV products to provide claims level data for units dispensed from such contract pharmacies; covered entities without an in-house pharmacy that choose not to participate in the initiative can designate a single contract pharmacy for shipment. Certain manufacturers that have implemented other contract pharmacy integrity programs have received enforcement letters from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) asserting that those programs violate the 340B statute, have been referred to the HHS Office of Inspector General for assessment of civil monetary penalties, and have been subject to administrative dispute resolution proceedings brought on behalf of covered entities. These manufacturers are currently challenging HHS’ position in ongoing litigation. Although we believe that our integrity initiative complies with the requirements of the 340B statute, additional legal or legislative developments with respect to the 340B program, also limits the prices weincluding potential litigation with HHS, may charge on an increasing percentage of sales.
48


negatively impact our ability to implement or continue our integrity initiative.
In addition, standard reimbursement structures may not adequately reimburse for innovative therapies. For example, beginning in fiscal year 2021, CMS established a new severity adjusted diagnosis relatedseverity-adjusted diagnosis-related group (“DRG”) 018 for Medicare inpatient reimbursement of CAR TT-cell products such as Yescarta and Tecartus. While the new DRG has a significantly higher base payment amount than the prior DRG 016, the payment available may not be sufficient to reimburse some hospitals for their cost of care for patients receiving Yescarta and Tecartus. When reimbursement is not aligned well to account for treatment costs, Medicare beneficiaries may be denied access as this misalignment could impact the willingness of some hospitals to offer the therapy and of doctors to recommend the therapy. Additionally, in the European Union,EU, there are barriers to reimbursement in individual countries that could limit the uptake of Yescarta and Tecartus.
In addition,Moreover, we estimate the rebates we will be required to pay in connection with sales during a particular quarter based on claims data from prior quarters. In the United States, actual rebate claims are typically made by payers one to three quarters in arrears. Actual claims and payments may vary significantly from our estimates.
39


We may experience adverse impacts resulting from imports from countries wherethe importation of our products are available atfrom lower pricesprice markets or the unlawful distribution of genericillegally diverted or counterfeit versions of our products.
Prices for our products are based on local market economics and competition and sometimes differ from country to country. Our sales in countries with relatively higher prices may be reduced if products can be imported and resold into those countries from lower price markets. For example, U.S. sales could also be affected if FDA permits importation of drugs from Canada. We have entered into agreements with generic drug manufacturers as well as licensing agreements with the Medicines Patent Pool, a United Nations-backed public health organization, which allowsallow generic drug manufacturers to manufacture generic versions of certain of our products for distribution in certain low- and middle-income countries. We may be adversely affected if any generic versions of our products, whether or not produced and/or distributed under these agreements, are exported to the United States, Europe or markets with higher prices.
In the European Union,EU, we are required to permit products purchased in one European UnionEU member state to be sold in another member state. Purchases of our products in countriesmember states where our selling prices are relatively low for resale in countriesmember states in which our selling prices are relatively high can affect the inventory level held by our wholesalers and can cause the relative sales levels in the various countries to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and not reflect the actual consumer demand in any given quarter.
Additionally, diverted products may be used in countries where they have not been approved and patients may source the diverted products outside the legitimate supply chain. These diverted products may be handled, shipped and stored inappropriately, which may affect the efficacy of the products and could harm patients and adversely impact us.
We are also aware of the existence of various “Buyers Clubs”suppliers around the world that, promote the personal importation ofwithout Gilead’s authorization, purport to source our products and generic versions of our products thatand sell them for use in countries where those products have not been approved for use in the countries into which they are imported.approved. As a result, patients may be at risk of taking unapproved medications that may not be what they purport to be, may not have the potency they claim to have or may contain harmful substances, which could harm patients and adversely impact us.
Further, third parties have illegally distributed and sold, and may continue to illegally distribute and sell, illegally diverted and counterfeit versions of our medicines, which do not meet the rigorous quality standards of our manufacturing and supply chain. For example, as part of a U.S. investigation in coordination with law enforcement, and pursuant to court order, we seized thousands of bottles of Gilead-labeled medication with counterfeit supply chain documentation. Our investigation revealed that pharmaceutical distributors that are not authorized by Gilead to sell Gilead medicine sold purportedly genuine Gilead medicine sourced from an illegal counterfeiting scheme to independent pharmacies nationwide.
Illegally diverted and counterfeit versions of Gilead-branded medicines exist and may pose a serious risk to patient health and safety and may raise the risk of product recalls.safety. Our actions to stop or prevent the distribution and sale of illegally diverted and counterfeit versions of our medicines around the world may be costly and not successful,unsuccessful, which may adversely affect patients and our reputation and business, including our product revenues and financial results.
Product Development and Supply Chain Risks
We face risks in our clinical trials, including the potential for unfavorable results, delays in anticipated timelines and disruption.
We are required to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of productsproduct candidates that we develop for each intended use through extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials. The results from preclinical and early clinicalthese studies do not always accurately predict results in later, large-scale clinical trials. Even successfully completed large-scale clinical trials may not result in marketable products. If any of our product candidates fails to achieve its primary endpoint in clinical trials, if safety issues arise or if the results from our clinical trials are otherwise inadequate to support regulatory approval of our product candidates, commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or halted. In addition, we may also face challenges in clinical trial protocol design.
49


We may be adversely impacted if the clinical trials for any of the product candidates in our pipeline are delayed or terminated. We face numerous risks and uncertainties with our product candidatesclinical trials that could result in delays or prevent completion of the development and approval of theseour product candidates. These risks includecandidates, including challenges in clinical trial protocol design, our ability to enroll patients in clinical trials, the possibility of unfavorable or inadequate trial results to support further development of our product candidates, including failure to meet a trial’s primary endpoint, safety issues arising from our clinical trials, and the need to modify or delay our clinical trials or to perform additional trials. For example, in October 2022, we announced that FDA issued a complete response letter for our biologics license application for bulevirtide for the treatment of adults with hepatitis delta virus infection. We also previously announced that FDA placed clinical holds on studies evaluating (i) lenacapavir in combination with islatravir, (ii) injectable lenacapavir and (iii) magrolimab, and issued a complete response letter for our new drug application for lenacapavir.The clinical holds relating to injectable lenacapavir and magrolimab have since been lifted by FDA, and we have resubmitted a new drug application for lenacapavir in response to the complete response letter. See Note 7. Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the partial in-process research and development impairment charge of $2.7 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2022 related to assets we acquired from Immunomedics, Inc. (“Immunomedics”) in 2020.
40


As a result, we may be unable to successfully complete our clinical trials and the risk of failing to obtainon our anticipated timelines, or at all. Based on trial results, it is possible that FDA and other regulatory agency approvals. As a result,authorities do not approve our product candidates, may never be successfully commercialized.or that any market approvals include significant limitations on the products’ use. In addition, clinical trials involving our commercial products can raise new safety issues for our existing products, which could adversely impact our business. Further, we may make a strategic decision to discontinue development of our product candidates if, for example, we believe commercialization will be difficult relative to other opportunities in our pipeline. WeTherefore, our product candidates may never be successfully commercialized, and we may be adversely impacted ifunable to recoup the significant R&D and clinical trial expenses incurred. We expect to expend significant time and resources on our clinical trial activities without any assurance that we do not have favorable results from clinical studies and other programswill recoup our investments or that our efforts will be commercially successful.
There are also risks associated with the use of third parties in our pipeline cannot be completed on a timely basis or at all. In addition, clinical trials involving our commercial products could raise new safety issues for our existing products.
In addition, wetrial activities. We extensively outsource our clinical trial activities and usually perform only a small portion of the start-up activities in-house. We rely on independent third-party contract research organizations (“CROs”) to perform most of our clinical studies, including document preparation, site identification, screening and preparation, pre-study visits, training, program management, patient enrollment, ongoing monitoring, site management and bioanalytical analysis. Many important aspects of the services performed for us by the CROs are out of our direct control. If there is any dispute or disruption in our relationship with our CROs, our clinical trials may be delayed. Moreover, in our regulatory submissions, we rely on the quality and validity of the clinical work performed by third-party CROs. If any of our CROs’ processes, methodologies or results were determined to be invalid or inadequate, our own clinical data and results and related regulatory approvals may be adversely affected.
We may face manufacturing difficulties, delays or interruptions, including at our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners.
Our products, which are manufactured at our own facilities or by third-party manufacturers and corporate partners, are the result of complex, highly regulated manufacturing processes. We depend on third-party manufacturers and corporate partners to perform manufacturing activities effectively and on a timely basis for the majority of our active pharmaceutical ingredients and drug products. These third parties are independent entities subject to their own unique operational and financial risks that are out of our control. We and our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners are subject to Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”), which are extensive regulations governing manufacturing processes, stability testing, record keeping and quality standards as defined by FDA and the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), as well as comparable regulations in other jurisdictions. Manufacturing operations are also subject to routine inspections by regulatory agencies.
Any adverse developments affecting or resulting from our manufacturing operations or the operations of our third-party manufacturers and corporate partners may result in shipment delays, inventory shortages, lot failures, product withdrawals or recalls or other interruptions in the commercial supply of our products. We may also needhave incurred, and will continue to takeincur, inventory write-offswrite-off charges and incur other charges and expenses for products that fail to meet specifications and quality standards, and we may need to undertake costly remediation efforts or seek more costly manufacturing alternatives. Such developments could increase our manufacturing costs, cause us to lose revenues or market share and damage our reputation. In addition, manufacturing issues may cause delays in our clinical trials and applications for regulatory approval. For example, if we are unable to remedy any deficiencies cited by FDA or other regulatory agencies in their inspections, our existing products and the timing of regulatory approval of product candidates in development could be adversely affected. Further, there is risk that regulatory agencies in other countries where marketing applications are pending will undertake similar additional reviews or apply a heightened standard of review, which could delay the regulatory approvals for products in those countries. Our business may be adversely affected if approval of any of our product candidates were delayed or if production of our products were interrupted.
We may not be able to obtain materials or supplies necessary to conduct clinical trials or to manufacture and sell our products, which could limit our ability to generate revenues.
We need access to certain supplies and products to conduct our clinical trials and to manufacture and sell our products. If we are unable to purchase sufficient quantitiesenough of these materials or find suitable alternative materials in a timely manner, our development efforts for our product candidates may be delayed or our ability to manufacture and sell our products could be limited.
5041


Suppliers of key components and materials must be named in the new drug application or marketing authorization application filed with the regulatory authority for any product candidate for which we are seeking marketing approval, and significant delays can occur if the qualification of a new supplier is required. Even after a manufacturer is qualified by the regulatory authority, the manufacturer must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain full compliance with GMP. Manufacturers are subject to regular periodic inspections by regulatory authorities following initial approval. If, as a result of these inspections, a regulatory authority determines that the equipment, facilities, laboratories or processes do not comply with applicable regulations and conditions of product approval, the regulatory authority may suspend the manufacturing operations. If the manufacturing operations of any of the single suppliers for our products are suspended, we may be unable to generate sufficient quantities of commercial or clinical supplies of product to meet market demand. In addition, if deliveries of materials from our suppliers wereare interrupted for any reason, we may be unable to ship certain of our products for commercial supply or to supply our product candidates in development for clinical trials. Also, some of our products and the materials that we utilize in our operations are manufactured by only one supplier or at only one facility, which we may not be able to replace in a timely manner and on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Problems with any of the single suppliers or facilities we depend on, including in the event of a disaster, such as an earthquake, equipment failure or other difficulty, may negatively impact our development and commercialization efforts.
A significant portion of the raw materials and intermediates used to manufacture our antiviral products are supplied by third-party manufacturers and corporate partners outside of the United States. As a result, any political or economic factors in a specific country or region, including any changes in or interpretations of trade regulations, compliance requirements or tax legislation, that would limit or prevent third parties outside of the United States from supplying these materials could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and supply our antiviral products to meet market needs and have a material and adverse effect on our operating results.
If we were to encounter any of these difficulties, our ability to conduct clinical trials on product candidates and to manufacture and sell our products could be impaired.
Regulatory and Other Legal Risks
Our operations depend on compliance with complex FDA and comparable international regulations. Failure to obtain broad approvals on a timely basis or to maintain compliance could delay or halt commercialization of our products.
The products we develop must be approved for marketing and sale by regulatory authorities and, once approved, are subject to extensive regulation by FDA, EMA and comparable regulatory agencies in other countries. We have filed, and anticipate that we will file, for marketing approval in additional countries and for additional indications and products over the next several years. These and any future marketing applications we file may not be approved by the regulatory authorities on a timely basis, or at all. Even if marketing approval is granted for these products, there may be significant limitations on their use. We cannot state with certainty when or whether any of our product candidates under development will be approved or launched; whether we will be able to develop, license or acquire additional product candidates or products; or whether any products, once launched, will be commercially successful.
Further, how we manufacture and sell our products is subject to extensive regulation and review. For example, under FDA rules, we are often required to conduct post-approval clinical studies to assess a known serious risk, signals of serious risk or to identify an unexpected serious risk. In certain circumstances, we may be required to implement a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy program for our products, which could include a medication guide, patient package insert, a communication plan to healthcare providers, restrictions on distribution or use of a product and other elements FDA deems necessary to assure safe use of the drug. Discovery of previously unknown problems with our marketed products or product candidates, including serious safety, resistance or drug interaction issues, or problems with our manufacturing, safety reporting or promotional activities, may result in regulatory approvals being delayed, denied or granted with significant restrictions on our products, including limitations on or the withdrawal of the products from the market.
Failure to comply with these or other requirements imposed by FDA could result in significant civil monetary penalties, fines, suspensions of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products and criminal prosecutions.

We are impacted by evolving laws, regulations and legislative or regulatory actions applicable to the health carehealthcare industry.
The health carehealthcare industry is subject to various federal, state and international laws and regulations pertaining to drug reimbursement, rebates, price reporting, health carehealthcare fraud and abuse, and data privacy and security. In the United States, these laws include anti-kickback and false claims laws, laws and regulations relating to the Medicare and Medicaid programs and other federal and state programs, such as the Medicaid Rebate Statute and the 340B statute, laws that regulate written and verbal communications about our products, individual state laws relating to pricing and sales and marketing practices, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and other federal and state laws relating to the privacy and security of health information. Actual or alleged violations of these laws or any related regulations may be punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including, in some instances, substantial fines, civil monetary penalties, exclusion from participation in federal and state health carehealthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense health programs, actions against executives overseeing our business and significant remediation measures, negative publicity or other consequences. These laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to changing and evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or to alter one or more of our sales or marketing practices. The resulting impact on our business is uncertain and could be material.
In addition, government price reporting and payment regulations are complex, and we are continually assessing the methods by which we calculate and report pricing in accordance with these obligations. Our methodologies for calculations are inherently subjective and may be subject to review and challenge by various government agencies, which may disagree with our interpretation. If the government disagrees with our reported calculations, we may need to restate previously reported data and could be subject to additional financial and legal liability.
There also continues to be enhanced scrutiny of company-sponsored patient assistance programs, including co-pay assistance programs, and manufacturer donations to third-party charities that provide such assistance. There has also been enhanced scrutiny by governments on reimbursement and other patient support offerings, clinical education programs and promotional speaker programs. If we, or our agents and vendors, are deemed to have failed to comply with laws, regulations or government guidance in any of these areas, we could be subject to criminal or civil sanctions. Any similar violations by our competitors could also negatively impact our industry reputation and increase scrutiny over our business and our products.
For a description of our government investigations and related litigation, see Note 11.10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We are subject to risks if significant safety issues arise for our marketed products or our product candidates.
As additional studies are conducted subsequent toafter obtaining marketing approval for our products, and as our products are used over longer periods of time by many patients, including patients with underlying health problems or patientsthose taking other medicines, we expect to continue finding new issues related to safety, resistance or drug interactions. Any such issues may require changes to our product labels, such as additional warnings, contraindications or even narrowed indications, or to halt sales of a product.
Regulatory authorities have been moving towards more active and transparent pharmacovigilance and are making greater amounts of stand-alone safety information and clinical trial data directly available to the public through websites and other means, such as periodic safety update report summaries, risk management plan summaries and various adverse event data. Safety information, without the appropriate context and expertise, may be misinterpreted and lead to misperception or legal action.
Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to obtain and defend our patents and other intellectual property rights both domestically and internationally, and to operate without infringing upon the patents or other proprietary rights of third parties.
Patents and other proprietary rights are very important to our business. As part of our business strategy, we actively seek patent protection both in the United States and internationally and file additional patent applications, when appropriate, to cover improvements in our compounds, products and technology. Our success depends to a significant degree on our ability to:
obtain patents and licenses to patent rights;
preserve trade secrets and internal know-how;
defend against infringement of our patents and efforts to invalidate them; and
operate without infringing on the intellectual property of others.
5243


SinceBecause patent applications are confidential for a period of time before a patent is issued, we may not know if our competitors have filed patent applications for technology covered by our pending applications or if we were the first to invent or first to file an application directed toward the technology that is the subject of our patent applications. If competitors file patent applications covering our technology, we may have to participate in litigation, post-grant proceedings before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or other proceedings to determine the right to a patent or validity of any patent granted. Such litigation and proceedings are unpredictable and expensive, and could divert management attention from other operations, such that, even if we are ultimately successful, we may be adversely impacted.
Generic manufacturers have sought, and may continue to seek, FDA approval to market generic versions of our products through an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”), the application process typically used by manufacturers seeking approval of a generic drug. For a description of our ANDA litigation, see Note 11.10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. TheANDA litigation and related settlement agreements, in some cases, may result in a loss of exclusivity for our patents sooner than we would otherwise expect, and the entry of generic versions of our products has, and may in the future, lead to market share and price erosion.
If we are found to infringe the valid patents of third parties, we may be required to pay significant monetary damages or we may be prevented from commercializing products or may be required to obtain licenses from these third parties. We may not be able to obtain alternative technologies or any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain these licenses or alternative technologies, we may be unable to develop or commercialize some or all of our products.
We For example, we are aware of patents and patent applications owned by third parties that such parties may claim cover the use of sofosbuvir, axicabtagene ciloleucel or bictegravir, as well as certain uses of combinations of FTCemtricitabine (“FTC”) and TDFtenofovir disoproxil fumarate (“TDF”) or TAF. For example, in February 2018, ViiV Healthcare Company (“ViiV”) filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court of Delaware, alleging that the commercialization of bictegravir, sold commercially in combination with TAF and FTC as Biktarvy, infringes on ViiV’s U.S. Patent No. 8,129,385 (the “’385 patent”), covering ViiV’s dolutegravir. Bictegravir is structurally different from dolutegravir, and we believe that bictegravir does not infringe the claims of the ’385 patent. The court has set a trial date of January 2022 for this lawsuit. ViiV is seeking billions of dollars for alleged damages comprised of ViiV’s lost profits and a royalty on sales of bictegravir from launch through the trial. In addition, should a court find that we are liable for infringement, we expect ViiV will seek a royalty on sales after the trial. ViiV calculates these damages based on the cumulative U.S. revenues from Biktarvy since launch, which have totaled $16.4 billion through September 30, 2021. Although we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of this litigation, an adverse judgment could result in substantial monetary damages, including ViiV’s lost profits and royalties through trial, and a going-forward royalty stream on future sales. See a description of our pending patent litigation, related to these and other matters insee Note 11.10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Furthermore, we also rely on unpatented trade secrets and improvements, unpatented internal know-how and technological innovation. For example, a great deal of our liposomal manufacturing expertise, which is a key component of our liposomal technology, is not covered by patents but is instead protected as a trade secret. We protect these rights mainly through confidentiality agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants and vendors. We cannot be certain that these parties will comply with these confidentiality agreements, that we have adequate remedies for any breach or that our trade secrets, internal know-how or technological innovation will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by our competitors. Under some of our R&D agreements, inventions become jointly owned by us and our corporate partner and in other cases become the exclusive property of one party. In certain circumstances, it can be difficult to determine who owns a particular invention and disputes could arise regarding those inventions. We could be adversely affected if our trade secrets, internal know-how, technological innovation or confidential information become known or independently discovered by competitors or if we enter into disputes over ownership of inventions.
We face potentially significant liability and increased expenses from litigation and government investigations relating to our products and operations.
We are involved in a number of litigation, investigation and other dispute-related matters that require us to expend substantial internal and financial resources, including ongoing litigation with ViiV related to bictegravir in which ViiV is seeking billions of dollars of alleged damages in a trial scheduled to begin in January 2022.resources. These matters could require us to pay significant monetary damages,amounts, including royalty payments for past and future sales. For example, on February 1, 2022, we reached an agreement with ViiV Healthcare Company and related parties (collectively, “ViiV”) for a global resolution of all claims related to our sales of Biktarvy, pursuant to which (1) Gilead agreed to make a one-time payment of $1.25 billion and an ongoing royalty at a rate of 3% on future sales of Biktarvy and the bictegravir component of bictegravir-containing products in the United States until October 5, 2027, and (2) ViiV granted Gilead a broad worldwide license and covenant not to sue relating to any past, present or future development or commercialization of bictegravir.
We expect these matters will continue to require a high level of internal and financial resources for the foreseeable future. These matters have reduced, and are expected to continue to reduce, our earnings and require significant management attention.
In addition, the testing, manufacturing, marketing and use of our commercial products, as well as product candidates in development, involve substantial risk of product liability claims. These claims may be made directly by consumers, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies or others. We have limited insurance for product liabilities that may arise and claims may exceed our coverage.
5344


For a description of our litigation, investigation and other dispute-related matters, see Note 11.10. Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The outcome of such legal proceedings or any other legal proceedings that may be brought against us, the investigations or any other investigations that may be initiated and any other dispute-related matters, are inherently uncertain, and adverse developments or outcomes can result in significant expenses, monetary damages, penalties or injunctive relief against us.
Operational Risks
Our business has been, and may in the future be, adversely affected by outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic or contagious diseases, including the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.pandemic.
Actual or threatened outbreaks of epidemic, pandemic or contagious diseases, such as COVID-19, may significantly disrupt our global operations and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant volatility and uncertainty in U.S. and international markets and has resulted in increased risks and adverse impacts to our operations, including as described below. In addition to the developments discussed in Part I, Item 2 “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” weWe are monitoring a number of risks related to the pandemic, including the following:
Supply Chain: The pandemic could result in disruptions to our global supply chain and distribution in the future. For example, quarantines, shelter-in-place and other governmental orders and policies, travel restrictions, airline capacity and route reductions, safety guidelines and health impacts of the pandemic could impact the availability or productivity of products and personnel at manufacturers, distributors, freight carriers and other necessary components of our supply chain. In addition, there may be unfavorable changes in the availability or cost of raw materials, intermediates and other materials necessary for production, which may result in higher costs, disruptions in our supply chain and interruptions in our distribution capabilities.
Clinical Trials: ThisThe pandemic has adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect certain of our clinical trials, including our ability to initiate and complete our clinical trials within the anticipated timelines. For ongoing trials, clinical trial sites have imposed restrictions on patient visits to limit risks of possible COVID-19 exposure, and we may experience issues with participant compliance with clinical trial protocols as a result of quarantines, travel restrictions and interruptions to healthcare services. There is also a risk that closures at clinical sites may be necessary as the pandemic and related guidance and restrictions continue to evolve. For the foregoing reasons, we have experienced delays with new subject enrollment for most clinical trials during the course of the pandemic, and may continue to experience overall delays in our clinical trials. There is also the risk of biased data collection if only certain clinical trial sites remain open. As a result of these challenges, our anticipated filing and marketing timelines for certain products may be adversely impacted.
Regulatory Reviews: The operations of FDA, EMA or other regulatory agencies may be adversely affected. We may also experience delays in necessary interactions with regulatory authorities around the world, including with respect to any anticipated filing, which together with other factors resulting from the pandemic may adversely impact our ability to launch new commercial products.
Access to Healthcare Providers: The pandemic has limited patients’ ability or willingness to access and seek care from healthcare providers and initiate or continue therapies, which has resulted in lower demand for our products during the course of the pandemic, particularly with respect to HCV treatment and HIV treatment and prevention and hepatitis C virus (“HCV”) treatment.prevention. For example, we have seen a reductionobserved lower levels of patient visits and testing volumes in prescription refills for HIV treatment and prevention as a result of higher discontinuations. WeHCV, resulting in fewer patient starts. In addition, at times during the pandemic, we have also observedseen lower levels of screening and diagnosis for HIV, resulting in fewer treatment initiations. In addition, withinitiations, as well as higher levels of discontinuations, resulting in a reduction in prescription refills. With increased levels of unemployment at times during the course of the pandemic, we have also experienced a shiftshifts in payer mix towards more government-funded coverage and the uninsured segment. Our field personnel have also had reduced access to healthcare personnel during the pandemic, including fewer in-person interactions, which has adversely impacted and may continue to adversely impact our commercial activities.
Employees: We face risks related to the health, safety, morale and productivity of our employees, including the safe occupancy of our sites during the pandemic. In the fourth quarter of 2021, we transitioned to a return-to-site phase for our U.S. flexible location employees. Our job site enhancements and risk protocols, which include health screenings and COVID-19 testing and vaccine requirements, do not guarantee that we can maintain the continued safe occupancy of our sites and may adversely impact employee recruitment and retention. On-site employees testing positive for COVID-19 could lead to mandatory quarantines and potential site shutdowns.
54


Financial: The pandemic has had, and may continue to have, an adverse financial impact in the short-termshort term and potentially beyond. In particular, our HIV treatment and HCV businesses have been and continue to be adversely impacted. For example, we have observed a reductionreductions in the overall U.S. HCV treatment, HIV treatment volume inand HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (“PrEP”) volumes at times during the second half of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, and it is uncertain when treatment volume will return to pre-pandemic levels. In HCV, patient starts have also remained below pre-pandemic levels.pandemic. We may continue to experience fluctuating revenues as infection rates rise and fall and as pandemic restrictions are periodically tightened and eased. We have also experienced, and may continue to experience, volatility in our short-term revenues due to fluctuations in inventory channel purchases during the pandemic. We could also have additional unexpected expenses related to the pandemic, which could negatively affect our results of operations. These factors together with the overall uncertainty and disruption caused by the pandemic could result in increased volatility and decreased predictability in our results of operations and volatility in our stock price.
45


The pandemic has also amplified many of the other risks described throughout the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The extent to which the pandemic impacts our business and results will depend on future developments, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including any potential future waves of the pandemic, new variants of the virus that impact the severity and duration of the pandemic, the development, distribution, effectiveness and public acceptance of vaccines, and any other ongoing and future actions taken to contain the pandemic.
We face risks associated with our global operations.
Our global operations are accompanied by certain financial, political, economic and other risks, including those listed below:
Foreign Currency Exchange: For the nine months ended September 30, 2021,2022, approximately 30%31% of our product sales were outside the United States. Because a significant percentage of our product sales is denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro, we face exposure to adverse movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Overall, we are a net receiver of foreign currencies, and therefore, we benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar. Our hedging program does not eliminate our exposure to currency fluctuations. We have been and may continue to be adversely impacted if the U.S. dollar appreciatescontinues to appreciate significantly against certain currencies and our hedging program does not sufficiently offset the effects of such appreciation. For example, see Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our exposure to movements in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily in the Euro, and the impacts from foreign currency exchange, net of hedges, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Interest Rates and Inflation: We hold interest-generating assets and interest-bearing liabilities, including our available-for-sale debt securities and our senior unsecured notes and credit facilities. Fluctuations in interest rates,including the U.S. Federal Reserve’s recent increases in interest rates, could expose us to increased financial risk. In addition, high inflation, such as what we are seeing in the current economic environment, could also adversely impact our business and financial results.
Anti-Bribery: We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws that govern our international operations with respect to payments to government officials. Our international operations are heavily regulated and require significant interaction with foreign officials. We operate in parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption to some degree. In certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local customs and practices or may require us to interact with doctors and hospitals, some of which may be state controlled,state-controlled, in a manner that is different than local custom. It is possible that certain of our practices may be challenged under these laws. In addition, our internal control policies and procedures may not protect us from reckless or criminal acts committed by our employees and agents. Enforcement activities under anti-bribery laws could subject us to administrative and legal proceedings and actions, which could result in civil and criminal sanctions, including monetary penalties and exclusion from healthcare programs.
Other risks inherent in conducting a global business include:
Restrictive government actions against our intellectual property and other foreign assets such as nationalization, expropriation, the imposition of compulsory licenses or similar actions, including waiver of intellectual property protections.
Protective economic policies taken by foreign governments, such as trade protection measures and import and export licensing requirements, which may result in the imposition of trade sanctions or similar restrictions by the United States or other governments.
Business interruptions stemming from natural or man-made disasters, such as climate change, earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, fires, extreme heat, drought or actual or threatened public health emergencies, or efforts taken by third parties to prevent or mitigate such disasters, such as public safety power shutoffs and facility shutdowns, for which we may be uninsured or inadequately insured.not have sufficient insurance. For example, our corporate headquarters in Foster City and certain R&D and manufacturing facilities are located in California, a seismically active region. In the event of a major earthquake, we may not carry adequatesufficient earthquake insurance and significant recovery time could be required to resume operations.
55


Political instability or disruption in a geographic region where we operate, regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, social unrest and political changes. For example, on January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union, which initiated a renegotiation of the United Kingdomchanges, including in China, Russia and the European Union’s future relationship. There continues to be uncertainty concerning any changes in the laws and regulations governing the conduct of clinical trials and marketing of medicinal products in the United Kingdom following the country’s exit from the European Union. This uncertainty may lead to significant complexity and risks for our company and our ability to research, develop and market medicinal products in the European Union and the United Kingdom.Ukraine.
46


Our aspirations, goals and disclosures related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters expose us to numerous risks, including risks to our reputation and stock price.
Institutional and individual investors are increasingly using ESG screening criteria to determine whether Gilead qualifies for inclusion in their investment portfolios. We are frequently asked by investors and other stakeholders to set ambitious ESG goals and provide new and more robust disclosure on goals, progress toward goals and other matters of interest to ESG stakeholders. In response, we have adapted the tracking and reporting of our corporate responsibility program to various evolving ESG frameworks, and we have established and announced goals and other objectives related to ESG matters. These goal statements reflect our current plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them. Our efforts to accomplish and accurately report on these goals and objectives present numerous operational, reputational, financial, legal and other risks, any of which could have a material negative impact, including on our reputation and stock price.
Our ability to achieve any goal or objective, including with respect to environmental and diversity initiatives, is subject to numerous risks, many of which are outside of our control. Examples of such risks include: (1) the availability and cost of low- or non-carbon-based energy sources and technologies, (2) evolving regulatory requirements affecting ESG standards or disclosures, (3) the availability of suppliers that can meet our sustainability, diversity and other standards, (4) our ability to recruit, develop and retain diverse talent in our labor markets and (5) the impact of our organic growth and acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or operations.
The standards for tracking and reporting on ESG matters are relatively new, have not been harmonized and continue to evolve. Our selection of disclosure frameworks that seek to align with various reporting standards may change from time to time and may result in a lack of consistent or meaningful comparative data from period to period. In addition, ourregulatory authorities may impose mandatory disclosure requirements with respect to ESG matters. For example, in March 2022, the SEC proposed rule changes that would require companies to make certain climate-related disclosures, including information about climate-related risks, greenhouse gas emissions and certain climate-related financial statement metrics. Our processes and controls may not always comply withreflect evolving standards for identifying, measuring and reporting ESG metrics,matters, immediately or at all, our interpretation of reporting standards may differ from those of others and such standards may change over time, any of which could result in significant revisions to our goals or reported progress in achieving such goals. In addition, enhancements to our processes and controls to reflect evolving reporting standards may be costly and require additional resources.
If our ESG practices do not meet evolving investor or other stakeholder expectations and standards, then our reputation, our ability to attract or retain employees and our attractiveness as an investment, business partner or acquiror could be negatively impacted. Similarly, our failure or perceived failure to pursue or fulfill our goals, targets and objectives or to satisfy various reporting standards within the timelines we announce, or at all, could also have similar negative impacts and expose us to government enforcement actions and private litigation.
We depend on relationships with third parties for sales and marketing performance, technology, development, logistics and commercialization of products. Failure to maintain these relationships, poor performance by these companies or disputes with these third parties could negatively impact our business.
We rely on a number of collaborative relationships with third parties for our sales and marketing performance in certain territories. For example, we have collaboration arrangements with Janssen Sciences Ireland UC for Odefsey, Complera/Eviplera and Symtuza. In some countries, we rely on international distributors for sales of certain of our products. Some of these relationships also involve the clinical development of these products by our partners. Reliance on collaborative relationships poses a number of risks, including the risk that:
we are unable to control the resources our corporate partners devote to our programs or products;
disputes may arise with respect to the ownership of rights to technology developed with our corporate partners;
disagreements with our corporate partners could cause delays in, or termination of, the research, development or commercialization of product candidates or result in litigation or arbitration;
contracts with our corporate partners may fail to provide significant protection or may fail to be effectively enforced if one of these partners fails to perform;
our corporate partners have considerable discretion in electing whether to pursue the development of any additional products and may pursue alternative technologies or products either on their own or in collaboration with our competitors;
our corporate partners with marketing rights may choose to pursue competing technologies or to devote fewer resources to the marketing of our products than they do to products of their own development; and
56


our distributors and our corporate partners may be unable to pay us.
47


Given these risks, there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the success of our current and future collaborative efforts. If these efforts fail, our product development or commercialization of new products could be delayed or revenues from products could decline.
Due to the specialized and technical nature of our business, the failure to attract, develop and retain highly qualified personnel could adversely impact us.
Our future success will depend in large part on our continued ability to attract, develop and retain highly qualified scientific, technical and management personnel, as well as personnel with expertise in clinical testing, governmental regulation and commercialization. Our ability to do so also depends in part on how well we maintain a strong workplace culture that is attractive to employees. In addition, competition for qualified personnel in the biopharmaceutical field is intense, and there is a limited pool of qualified potential employees to recruit. We face competition for personnel from other companies, universities, public and private research institutions, government entities and other organizations. Additionally, changes to U.S. immigration and work authorization laws and regulations could make it more difficult for employees to work in or transfer to one of the jurisdictions in which we operate.
We are dependent on information technology systems, infrastructureSignificant cybersecurity incidents could give rise to legal liability and regulatory action under data which may be subject to cyberattacks, security breachesprotection and legal claims.privacy laws and adversely affect our business and operations.
We are dependent upon information technology systems, infrastructure and data, including our Kite Konnect platform, which is critical to maintain chain of identity and chain of custody of Yescarta and Tecartus. The multitude and complexity of our computer systems make them inherently vulnerable to service interruption or destruction, malicious intrusion and ransomware attack. Likewise, data privacy or security breaches by employees or others pose a risk thatcan result in the exposure of sensitive data, including our intellectual property or trade secrets or the personal information of our employees, patients, customers or other business partners may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. CyberattacksCybersecurity incidents are increasing in their frequency, sophistication and intensity, including during the pandemic. Cyberattacksintensity. Cybersecurity incidents include, for example, the deployment of harmful malware, ransomware, denial-of-service, social engineering and other means to affect service reliability and threaten data confidentiality, integrity and availability. Our business and technology partners face similar risks and any security breach of their systems could adversely affect our security posture.
Like many companies, we have experienced cybersecurity incidents, including data breaches and service interruptions. When cybersecurity incidents occur, our policy is to respond and address them in accordance with applicable governmental regulations and other legal requirements, including our cybersecurity protocols. There can be no assurance that our efforts or the efforts ofin response to cybersecurity incidents, as well as our partners and vendors,investments to invest in the protection ofprotect our information technology infrastructure and data, will shield us from significant losses and potential liability or prevent any future service interruptionsinterruption or identify breaches inbreach of our systems. Such interruptions or breaches couldcybersecurity incidents can cause the loss of critical or sensitive information, including personal information. In addition, our insurance may not be sufficient in type or amountinformation, and could give rise to cover the losses that may result from an interruption or breach of our systems.legal liability and regulatory action under data protection and privacy laws.
Regulators globally are also imposing new data privacy and security requirements, including new and greater monetary fines for privacy violations. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) that became effective in Europe in 2018 established regulations regarding the handling of personal data, and non-compliance with the GDPR may result in monetary penalties of up to four percent of worldwide revenue. In addition, new domestic data privacy and security laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) that became effective in January 2020, and the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”)and other laws that was approved by voters in November 2020, and others thathave been or may be passed, similarly introduce requirements with respect to personal information, and non-compliance with CCPA, CPRA or othersuch laws may result in liability through private actions (subject to statutorily defined damages in the event of certain data breaches) and enforcement. The GDPR, CCPA, CPRA and otherOther changes or new laws or regulations associated with the enhanced protection of personal information, including, in some cases, healthcare data or other personal information, could greatly increase our cost of providing our products and services or even prevent us from offering certain services in jurisdictions in which we operate.
5748


Strategic and Financial Risks
We are subject to risks associated with engaging in business acquisitions, licensing arrangements, collaborations, options, equity investments, asset divestitures and other strategic transactions.
We have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, such transactions as part of our business strategy. We may not identify suitable transactions in the future and, if we do, we may not complete such transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, and may not realize the expected benefits. If we are successful in making an acquisition or closing a licensing arrangement or collaboration, the products, intellectual property and technologies that are acquired or licensed may not be successful or may require significantly greater resources and investments than anticipated. As part of our annual impairment testing of our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter, and earlier if impairment indicators exist, as required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we may need to recognize impairment charges ifrelated to the products, intellectual property and technologies that are acquired or licensed are not successful.licensed. For example, as a result of an impairment analysis we conducted following our receipt of data from the Phase 3 TROPiCS-02 study evaluating Trodelvy in patients with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth receptor 2-negative metastatic breast cancer, we recognized a partial impairment charge of $2.7 billion in In-process research and development impairment on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended March 31, 2022. For option structured deals, there is no assurance that we will elect to exercise our option right, and it is possible that disagreements, uncertainties or other circumstances may arise, including with respect to whether our option rights have been appropriately triggered, which may hinder our ability to realize the expected benefits. For equity investments in our strategic transactions, such as in connection with our collaborationcollaborations with Arcus Biosciences, Inc. and Galapagos NV, the value of our equity investments may fluctuate and decline in value. If we are not successful in the execution or implementation of these transactions, our financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be adversely affected, and our stock price could decline.
We have paid substantial amounts of cash and incurred additional debt to finance our strategic transactions. Additional indebtedness and a lower cash balance could result in a downgrade of our credit ratings, limit our ability to borrow additional funds or refinance existing debt on favorable terms, increase our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions, and reduce our financial flexibility to continue with our capital investments, stock repurchases and dividend payments. For example, as a result of the cash used and the debt issued in connection with our acquisition of Immunomedics in 2020, S&P Global Ratings downgraded our credit rating. We may be adversely impacted by any failure to overcome these additional risks.
Changes in our effective income tax rate could reduce our earnings.
We are subject to income taxes and tax return audits and reviews in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions, including Germany and Ireland.jurisdictions. Due to economic and political conditions, various countries are actively considering and have made changes to existing tax laws, and we cannot predict the form or timing of such changes. For example,Our effective tax rates are affected by changes in the current U.S. Presidential administration has proposedmix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the introduction of new taxes, and changes in tax laws, regulations, administrative practices and interpretations, including in the United States, Germany and Ireland.
We are also subject to increasethe examination of our tax returns and other tax matters by the U.S. corporate incomeInternal Revenue Service and tax rate from its current 21%, implement a minimum tax on book income and increase taxation of international business operations, among numerous other corporate tax reform proposals.authorities in various foreign jurisdictions. There are differing interpretations of tax laws and regulations and, as a result, significant disputes may arise with these tax authorities involving issues of the timing and amount of deductions and allocations of income among various tax jurisdictions. We may be adversely affected by the resolution of one or more of these exposures in any reporting period.
In addition, significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. Various factors may have favorable or unfavorable effects on our income tax rate including, but not limited to, our portion of the non-deductible annual branded prescription drug fee, the accounting for stock options and other share-based awards, mergers/acquisitions and restructurings, ability to maintain manufacturing and other operational activities in our Irish facilities, changes in the mix of earnings in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate, changes in overall levels of pre-tax earnings, resolution of federal, state and foreign income tax audits. The impact on our income tax provision resulting from the above mentioned factors may be significant.
