AI-generated analysis. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.
"Based on our analysis of CMS's proposed rule and the statutory framework established under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), Halozyme projects zero to minimal impact to its royalty revenues through at least 2035. Importantly, there is also no projected impact on the Company's ability to execute new ENHANZE® partnership agreements where improving the patient treatment experience and competitive differentiation continue to be the top reasons ENHANZE is utilized," commented Dr. Helen Torley, President and Chief Executive Officer.
This outlook is supported by statements in the proposed rule affirming that orphan drug protections remain applicable and addressing the impacts of biosimilar entry on Program eligibility.
Halozyme will continue to engage constructively with CMS and other stakeholders to support policies that appropriately recognize innovation and preserve patient access to therapies that improve outcomes and reduce overall healthcare system burden.

Forward Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, the statements set forth in this press release include forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements concerning the Company's expected future financial performance, the Company's expectations of the impact to future royalty revenue and its ability to enter into new ENHANZE® partnership agreements based on its analysis of the proposed rule for the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program issued by CMS on June 12, 2026 including statements concerning expectations of the impact on future royalty revenues as a result of implementation of IPAY price negotiations for Part B drugs, and the assumptions used in deriving these projections, and factors such as orphan drug status and the potential launch of biosimilars resulting in exclusion from Medicare price negotiation. Forward-looking statements regarding the Company's ENHANZE® drug delivery technology include the possible benefits and attributes of ENHANZE® including its potential application to aid in the dispersion and absorption of other injected therapeutic drugs and facilitating more rapid delivery and administration of higher volumes of injectable medications through subcutaneous delivery and potential to decrease treatment burden and provide clinically meaningful benefits to patients, and lowering healthcare system and Medicare costs including enabling administration at lower cost sites of care. These forward-looking statements are typically, but not always, identified through use of the words "expect," "believe," "enable," "may," "will," "could," "can," "durable," "growth," "innovate," "develop," "vision," "potential," "intends," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "predict," "probable," "potential," "possible," "should," "continue," and other words of similar meaning and involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the expectations contained in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including possible differences between relevant provisions of the proposed rule used by the Company in its analysis of the potential impact on future royalty revenues and the provisions of the final rule ultimately issued by the CMS, unexpected changes in the exclusions to Medicare price negotiations or delays in the launch of biosimilars referred to in this presentation, unexpected delays in the Company's ability to enter into new ENHANZE® partnership agreements, unexpected adverse events or patient outcomes, competitive conditions and uncertainties related to future pharmaceutical pricing policies. These and other factors that may result in differences are discussed in greater detail in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Forms 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements or any other information contained herein
