Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Highlights

Revenue for the fourth quarter was

$121.7 million

compared to

$53.7 million

for the fourth quarter of 2019. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by a

$30.0 million

upfront payment from Horizon, a

$15.0 million

sales milestone from Janssen, an increase in royalty revenue following the strong DARZALEX FASPRO
^®
launch during the second quarter and an increase in product sales. Revenue for the quarter included

in the prior year.
