for the first six months of 2021. The increase of DKK 1,728 million, or 49%, was primarily driv
en
by
higher DARZALEX, TEPEZZA and Kesimpta royalties achieved under our collaborations wit

achieved under our collaborations with Janssen and AbbVie in the first six months of 2021.

2,234 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase of DKK 1,286 million, or 58%, was
driven by the continued advancement of epcoritamab and multiple pipeline projects, an increas
e
in new employees to support Tivdak

post launch and expansion of our product pipeline, and the
continued development of Genmab’s commercialization and broader organizational capabilities
and infrastructure.
