Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31

Regulatory and pricing-channel risks expanded materially, with new disclosures on 340B exposure, Botox IRA price-setting (2028), PBM/intermediary access controls, and trade policy supply-chain risk collectively shifting the forward risk profile. The Humira concentration reduction is a realized outcome of biosimilar erosion already in the numbers, not a resolved risk, and provides limited offset. The net picture is a meaningful worsening concentrated in regulatory compliance and market access themes.
