Key performance elements for FY 2025

(Growth numbers at constant exchange rates)

Total Revenue up 8% to $58,739m, driven by Oncology, CVRM, R&I and Rare Disease
Growth in Total Revenue across all major geographic regions
Core Operating profit increased 9%
Core EPS increased 11% to $9.16
Second interim dividend declared of $2.17 per share (159.5 pence, 19.49 SEK). Total dividend declared for FY 2025 increased by 3% to $3.20 per share
16 positive Phase 3 readouts and 43 approvals in major regions in the last twelve months
Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca, said:

"In 2025 we saw strong commercial performance across our therapy areas and excellent pipeline delivery. We announced the results of 16 positive Phase 3 studies during the year and now have 16 blockbuster medicines.

The momentum across our company is continuing in 2026 and we are looking forward to the results of more than 20 Phase 3 trial readouts this year. We have more than 100 Phase 3 studies ongoing, including a substantial and growing number of trials of our transformative technologies which have the potential to revolutionise outcomes for patients and drive our growth well beyond 2030.

Lastly, ordinary shares in our company began trading on the NYSE on the 2nd February, resulting in a harmonised listing structure across exchanges in London, New York and Stockholm, enabling more shareholders to participate in our company’s exciting future."

Guidance

AstraZeneca issues Total Revenue and Core EPS guidance4 for FY 2026 at CER, based on the average foreign exchange rates through 2025.

Total Revenue is expected to increase by a mid-to-high single-digit percentage
Core EPS is expected to increase by a low double-digit percentage

The Core Tax rate is expected to be between 18-22%

If foreign exchange rates for February 2026 to December 2026 were to remain at the average rates seen in January 2026, it is anticipated that Total Revenue in FY 2026 would benefit from a low single-digit percentage positive impact compared to the performance at CER, and Core EPS growth would be broadly similar to the growth at CER.
