As such, rebates amount to 75% of gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oss sales in the US (75% in 2021 and 74% in 2020). Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for sales rebates include US Managed Care, Medicare, Medicaid, 340B drug pricing progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am and other US rebate types, as well as rebates in a number of Eur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>opean countries and Canada.Pricing mechanisms in the US market In the US, sales rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e paid in connection with public healthcare insurance pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogrammes, including Medicare and Medicaid, as well as rebates to pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and managed healthcare plans. Key customers in the US include private payers, PBMs and go<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vernment payers. PBMs and managed healthcare plans play a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ole in negotiating price concessions with drug manufacturers for both the commer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>cial and government channels, and determine which drugs ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e covered on their formularies (or 'pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eferred drug lists').US Managed Care and Medicar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eFor Managed Care and Medicar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e, rebates are offered to a number of PBMs and managed healthcare plans. These r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebate programmes allow  the customer to receive a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebate after attaining certain performance parameters r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elating to formulary status or pre-established market share thresholds. Rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e estimated according to the specific terms in each agreement, historical e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xperience, anticipated channel mix, growth rates and market share information. No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk adjusts the provision periodically to reflect actual sales performance. Managed Car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e and Medicare rebates are generally settled ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ound 100 days from the transaction date.US wholesaler charge-backsWholesaler charge-backs relate to contr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>actual arrangements between Novo Nordisk and indir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ect customers in the US whereby products ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e sold at contract prices lo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wer than the list price originally charged to wholesalers. Chargebacks are estimated using a combination of factors such as historical experience, curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ent wholesaler inventory levels, contract terms and the value of claims received but not yet pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ocessed. Wholesaler charge-backs are generally settled within 30 days after r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceipt of claim. In January 2021, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk has changed its policy in the US related to the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am, whereby Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk no longer provides 340B statutory discounts to certain pharmacies that contract with co<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vered entities participating in the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am. Novo Nordisk has recognised re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>venue related to the 340B Drug Pricing Program to the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xtent that it is highly probable that its inclusion will not r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esult in a significant revenue re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>versal in the future. Please refer to note 3.5 Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions and contingent liabilities for a more elabor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ate description of the ongoing litigation related to the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am.US Medicaid rebatesMedicaid is a government insur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ance programme. Medicaid rebates have been estimated using a combination of historical experience, pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oduct and population gro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wth, price changes, and the impact of contracting strategies. The calculation also involves interpretation of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elevant regulations that are subject to changes in interpretative guidance fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om government authorities. Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk adjusts the provision periodically to reflect actual sales performance. Medicaid rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e generally settled around 150 days from the transaction date.Other US and non-US discounts and sales returnsOther discounts are pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovided to distributors, wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies, etc. They ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e usually linked to sales volume or provided as cash discounts. Discounts are calculated based on historical data and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecorded as a reduction in gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oss sales at the time the related sales are recor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ded. Sales returns r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elate to damaged or expired products. Other net sales disclosuresIn 2022, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk had three major wholesalers distributing products in the US, repr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esenting 19%, 14% and 13% respectively of global net sales (18%, 13% and 13% in 2021 and 19%, 13% and 12% in 2020). Sales to these three wholesalers are within both Diabetes and Obesity car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e and Rare disease.Net sales to be recognised fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om fulfilling existing customer contracts containing fixed or minimum sales volumes, with an original term gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eater than 12 months, are e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpected to be DKK 1,835 million within 12 months (DKK 1,012 million in 2021) and DKK 798 million thereafter (DKK 962 million in 2021).Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's sales are impacted by e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange rate changes. Refer to note 4.3 for development in ke<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y exchange rates.Accounting policiesRevenue fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om sale of goods is recognised when Novo Nordisk has tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferred control of pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts sold to the buyer and it is probable that Novo Nordisk will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferring the products. Control of the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts is transferred at a single point in time, typically on delivery<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The amount of sales to be recognised is based on the consideration Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk expects to receive in ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>change for its goods. When sales are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised, Novo Nordisk also recor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ds estimates for a variety of sales deductions; including product r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns as well as rebates and discounts to government agencies, wholesalers, health insur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ance companies, managed healthcare organisations and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>etail customers. Sales deductions are recognised as a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eduction of gross sales to arrive at net sales, by assessing the expected value of the sales deductions (variable consider<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ation). Where contracts contain customer acceptance criteria, No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk recognises sales when the acceptance criteria are satisfied.In some markets, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk sells products on a sale-or-return basis. Where ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e is historical experience or a reasonably accurate estimate of future r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns, estimated product returns are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecorded as a reduction in sales. Where shipments of ne<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w products are made on a sale-or-return basis, Key accounting estimates of sales deductions and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions for sales rebatesSales deductions are estimated and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovided for at the time the related sales are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecorded. These estimates of unsettled rebate, discount and product r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturn obligations require use of significant judgement, as not all conditions are kno<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wn at the time of sale, for example total sales volume to a given customer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The estimates are based on analyses of existing contr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>actual obligations and historical experience. Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions are calculated on the basis of a percentage of sales for each pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oduct as defined by the contracts with the various customer groups. Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions for sales rebates are adjusted to actual amounts as rebates, discounts and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns are processed. Revenue r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to 340B drug pricing program can only be recognised to the extent that it is highly pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>obable that a significant reversal of the recognised re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>venue will not occur. Determining the amount of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>evenue to recognise requir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es significant estimation.

Other adjustments consist of tax related to acquisitions and adjustments to prior years.In 2020, income taxes paid in Denmark and paid outside Denmark wer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e impacted by tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansfers of intellectual property rights related to acquisitions. In 2022, paid taxes r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to prior years are impacted by a refund of overpaid tax fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om 2021.Accounting policiesThe tax expense for the period comprises curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ent and deferred tax. It also includes adjustments to pre<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vious years and changes in provisions for uncertain tax positions. T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ax is recognised in the income statement e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xcept to the extent that it relates to items r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised in equity or other comprehensive income. Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for ongoing tax disputes are included as part of deferred tax assets, tax receivables and tax payables.Deferred income tax<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es arise from temporary differences between the accounting and tax values of the individual consolidated companies and from r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ealisable tax loss carry-forwards. However<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, deferred tax liabilities ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e not recognised if the<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ofit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The tax value of tax loss carry-forwar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ds is included in deferred tax assets to the extent that these ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e expected to be utilised in future taxable income. The deferred income tax<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es are measured according to current tax rules and at the tax r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ates assumed in the year in which the assets are e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpected to be utilised. In general, the Danish tax rules r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to dividends from group companies pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vide exemption from tax for most r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>epatriated profits. In some countries withholding tax will be applied to dividends paid to Denmark. A pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vision for withholding tax is only recognised if a concr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ete distribution of dividends is planned. The unrecognised potential withholding tax amounts to  DKK 567 million (DKK 444 million in 2021). The value of future tax deductions in r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elation to share programmes is recognised as a deferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed tax asset until the shares are paid out to the employees. Any estimated e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xcess tax deduction compared to the costs realised in the income statement is charged to equity<span class=\"_ _10\"/>.Key accounting estimate r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>egarding deferred income tax assets and pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for uncertain tax positionsManagement has considered futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e taxable income and has estimated the amount of deferred income tax assets that should be r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised. The estimate is based on an assessment of whether sufficient taxable income will be available in the future, against which the tempor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised. The total tax value of unrecognised tax loss carry-forwards amounts to DKK 456 million in 2022 (DKK 166 million in 2021).In the course of conducting business globally<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, tax and transfer pricing disputes with tax authorities may occur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. Management has estimated the expected outcome of the disputes b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y using the \u2018most probable outcome\u2019-method to determine the pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for uncertain tax positions. Management considers the pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions made to be adequate. However<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, the actual obligation may deviate and depends on the r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esult of litigation and settlements with the rele<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vant tax

Inc., which primarily includes the RNAi resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch technology platform and pipeline assets, which are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised within intellectual property rights and goodwill; please r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>efer to note 5.3. In 2021, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk acquired Prothena\u2019<span class=\"_ _10\"/>s wholly-owned subsidiary Neotope Neuroscience Ltd. and ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eby gained full worldwide rights to the intellectual property rights of Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>othena\u2019s A<span class=\"_ _10\"/>TTR amyloidosis business and pipeline cover<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The acquisition included the clinical stage antibody PRX004. PRX004 is an antibody that uses a depleter mechanism that has the potential to impro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ve heart failure symptoms and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>everse the disease progression within the A<span class=\"_ _10\"/>TTR-CM diseases. The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition recognised in intellectual pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>operty rights, all related to PRX004.Intangible assets other than goodwillIn 2022, an impairment loss of DKK 760 million (DKK 573 million in 2021) was recognised, all r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to intellectual property rights. DKK 250 million (DKK 436 million in 2021) of the impairment was related to the Diabetes and Obesity care segment and DKK 510 million (DKK 137 million in 2021) was related to Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e disease. The entire impairment loss in 2022 was recognised in resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch and development costs (DKK 573 million in research and development costs in 2021). The impairment was a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esult of Management<span class=\"_ _5\"/>\u2019<span class=\"_ _10\"/>s re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>view of expectations related to intellectual pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>operty rights not yet in use. No impairment related to marketable pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts was identified in 2022 or in 2021<span class=\"ls2\">. </span>Goodwill As of 31 December 2022, goodwill is allocated to the segments Diabetes and Obesity care (DKK 4,154 million) and Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e diseases (DKK 938 million). At 31 December 2021, goodwill from the acquisition of Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc was unallocated as the purchase price allocation for the acquisition was pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visional. As of 31 December 2022, goodwill from the acquisition of Forma Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. is allocated to Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e disease based on a pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visional purchase price allocation. No impairment of goodwill was recognised in 2022 or 2021 as the annual impairment test sho<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wed that the estimated reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verable amount in the forecast period ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ceeded the carrying amount of the cash-generating units to which goodwill was allocated. Goodwill is monitored for impairment at the oper<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ating segment level, which is the lowest le<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vel CGU to which consolidated goodwill is allocated and monitored b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y Management. CGUs are therefor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e defined as Novo Nordisk'<span class=\"_ _10\"/>s business segments, Diabetes and Obesity care and Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e disease. Fair value less costs of disposal is estimated using an income-approach and is based on discounted cash flow pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ojections. The applied post-tax discount rates for Diabetes and Obesity care and Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e diseases are 7.0% (Pre-tax discount rate of 8.3%). Cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w projections are based on budgets appro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ved by management. The forecast period for Diabetes and Obesity car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e, and Rare diseases is 9 years. The discounted cash flows fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om the forecast period significantly ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ceeds the carrying amount of goodwill.The key assumptions and sensitivities ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e Novo Nordisk\u2019s volume market share, gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>owth rates, pricing, development of ne<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w markets and the success rate for intr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducing new products and treatments. Sensitivities ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e affected by e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xternal factors such as market- and generic competition, and price regulation.The value assigned to key assumptions r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eflects past experience adjusted for market specific risks or expected changes. Fair value is determined using largely unobservable inputs. Other intangible assets disclosuresIntangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use amount to DKK 28,013 million (DKK 22,690 million in 2021), primarily intellectual property rights and goodwill.Intellectual property rights include DKK 5,546 million pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisionally allocated to Etavopivat (please refer to note 5.3), DKK 4,648 million r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to Ziltivekimab (DKK 4,612 million in 2021) and DKK 3,704 million related to Nedosiran (DKK 3,854 million in 2021), all of which ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e intangible assets under development. In addition, intellectual property rights contain DKK 6,584 million r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to Rybelsus (DKK 7,150 million in 2021), which has a remaining useful life of 12 years (13 years in 2021); and DKK 10,251 million (DKK 10,135 million in 2021) related to the RNAi technology platform, with a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>emaining useful life of 22 years (23 years in 2021). For acquired r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development projects, and intellectual pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>operty rights, the likelihood of obtaining future commer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>cial sales is reflected in the cost of the asset, and thus the probability r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognition criteria is always considered to be satisfied. As the cost of acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed research and development projects can often be measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed reliably, these pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ojects fulfil the capitalisation criteria as intangible assets on acquisition. Subsequent milestone payments payable on achievement of a contingent e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vent (e.g. commencement of phase 3 trials) are accrued and capitalised into the cost of the intangible asset when the achievement of the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vent is probable. Development costs incurred subsequent to acquisition are tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eated consistently with internal project development costs.Recognition and measurementIntangible assets are initially measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at cost, and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment loss. Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are not subject to amortisation. The<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y are tested annually for impairment, irrespective of whether ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e is any indication<span class=\"_ _5\"/> that they may be impair<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed. Impairment tests are based on Management\u2019s projections and anticipated net pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esent value of estimated future cash flows from marketable pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts. Goodwill is allocated to operating segments based on expected futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e cash flow from products utilizing the synergies and kno<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w-how acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed.<span class=\"_ _5\"/> For intellectual property rights acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed for research and development projects, upfr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ont fees and acquisition costs are capitalised as the historical cost. Subsequent milestone payments payable on achievement of a contingent event will be capitalised when the contingent e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vent is probable of being achieved. Intangible assets acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortisation is based on the straight-line method o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver the estimated useful life. This corresponds to the legal dur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ation or the economic useful life depending on which is shorter<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, and not exceeding 25 years in either case. The amortisation of intellectual property rights commences after r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>egulatory appro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>val has been obtained or when assets are put in use. Amortisation of software is based on the str<span class=\"_ _10\"/>aight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3-15 years. The amortisation commences when the asset is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y Management.Accounting policiesResearch and de<span class=\"_ _10\"/>velopment projectsInternal and subcontracted r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch costs are fully charged to the consolidated income statement in the period in which they ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e incurred. Consistent with industry practice, de<span class=\"_ _10\"/>velopment costs are also expensed untilregulatory appr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oval is obtained or is probable; please refer to note 2.3.Payments to third parties under collabor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ation and licence agreements are assessed for the substance of their natur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e. Payments which represent subcontracted r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development work are e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpensed as the servicesare r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived. Payments which represent rights to the transfer of intellectual property<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, developed at risk by the thir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>d party, are capitalised.Impairment testGoodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. The<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y are tested annually, irr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>espective of whether there is any indication that they may be impair<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed. Impairment tests are based on Management\u2019s projections and anticipated net pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esent value of estimated future cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ws from marketable products. Assets that are subject to amortisation ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e reviewed for impairment whenever e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vents or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verable. Factors considered material that could trigger an impairment test include the following:\u2013 Development of a competing drug\u2013 Realised sales trending belo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w predicted sales\u2013 Changes or anticipated changes in participation rates or reimbursement policies\u2013 Inconsistent or unfavourable clinical r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eadouts\u2013 Changes in the legal frame<span class=\"_ _10\"/>work covering patents, rights and licences\u2013 Advances in medicine and/or technology that affect the medical treatments\u2013 Adverse impact on reputation and/or br<span class=\"_ _10\"/>and names\u2013 Changes in the economic lives of similar assets\u2013 Relationship to other intangible assets or property<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, plant and equipment.If the carrying amount of intangible assets ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ceeds the recoverable amount based on the existence of one or mor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e of the above indicators of an impairment, any impairment is measured based on discounted pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ojected cash flows. Impairments on intangible assets, other than goodwill, ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>viewed at each reporting date for possible re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>versal. Key accounting estimates and judgements on intangible assets Impairment tests are based on management\u2019s pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ojections and anticipated net present value of estimated futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e cash flows from marketable products. When collaboration agr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eements contain elements of acquisition of intangible assets and resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch and development activities to be performed by the counterpart, management estimates the allocation of payments that should be deferred to the acquisition of intangible assets and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>epaid research and development activities

The right-of-use asset is presented in pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>operty, plant and equipment and the lease liability in borro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wings. In 2022, the total amount<span class=\"_ _5\"/> recognised in the income statement r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to leases was DKK 1,491 million<span class=\"_ _5\"/>  (DKK 1,303 million in 2021). The total cash outflow for leases amounted to DKK 1,438 million (DKK 1,275 million in 2021). As of 31 December 2022, the lease liability ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>cludes potential lease payments of DKK 3,723 million<span class=\"_ _5\"/> (undiscounted) related to optional lease term e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xtension rights on properties that were not consider<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed reasonably certain to be exer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>cised (DKK 2,209 million<span class=\"_ _5\"/> in 2021). Please refer to note 4.5 for a maturity analysis of lease payments.Accounting policiesProperty<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, plant and equipment is measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciations and any impairment loss. The cost of self-constructed assets includes costs directly attributable to the construction of the assets. Any subsequent cost is included in the asset\u2019s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset only when it is pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>obable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk, and the cost of the item can be measured r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eliably. Depreciation is based on the str<span class=\"_ _10\"/>aight-line method<span class=\"_ _5\"/> over the estimated useful lives of the assets (buildings: 12-50 years, plant and machinery: 5-25 years and other equipment: 3-10 years. Land is not depreciated).The depreciation commences when the asset is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Management. The assets\u2019 r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esidual values and useful lives are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. If an asset\u2019s carrying amount is higher than its estimated reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verable amount, it is written down to the reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verable amount. Plant and equipment with no alternative use developed as part of a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oject are expensed. Howe<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver, plant and equipment with an alternative use or used for general r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development purposes are capitalised and depr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eciated over the estimated useful life as research and development costs. For contracts which ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e, or contain, a lease, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, being the initial amount of the lease liability<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the str<span class=\"_ _10\"/>aight-line method over the lease term. The right-of-use asset is periodically adjusted for certain remeasur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ements of the lease liability and reduced b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y any impairment losses. The lease term determined by the Gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oup is the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with extension/termination option if these ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e reasonably certain to be ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ercised. For contracts with a rolling term (e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vergreen leases),the Group estimates the leasing period to be equal to the termination period if no probable scenario e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xists for estimating the leasing period. If the lease liability is remeasur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed due to a change in future lease payments a corresponding adjustment is made to the right-of-use asset, or in the income statement when the right-of-use asset has been fully depreciated.

Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk closely monitors the current economic conditions of countries impacted by curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ency fluctuations, high inflation and an unstable political climate. These indicators as well as payment history are taken into account in the valuation of trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables. The country risk ratings in 2022 have over<span class=\"_ _10\"/>all remained unchanged from 2021.No loss allowance has been r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised on trade receivables in factoring portfolios in 2022 and 2021. Please refer to note 4.3 for mor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e info on the trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivable programmes.Accounting policiesT<span class=\"_ _10\"/>rade receivables are initially r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective inter<span class=\"_ _10\"/>est method, less allowance for doubtful tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ade receivables. The split of trade receivables and allo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wance for trade receivables is based on the location of the customer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>.Before being sold, tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ade receivables in factoring portfolios are measured at fair value with changes recognised in other compr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ehensive income. The allowance for doubtful r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables is deducted from the carrying amount of trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement under sales and distribution costs. Subsequent reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>veries of amounts pre<span class=\"_ _10\"/>viously written off are credited against sales and distribution costs.Management makes allowance for doubtful tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ade receivables based on the simplified approach to pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovide for expected credit losses, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovision for all trade receivables. The allowance is an estimate based on shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed credit risk characteristics and the days past due. Generally<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, invoices are due for payment within 90 days from shipment of goods.

In the case  of provisions for legal disputes, the timing of settlement cannot be determined.Pending litigation against Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>diskIn January 2021, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk made changes to its policy in the US related to facilitating delivery of its discounted medicines to commercial pharmacies that contract with co<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vered entities participating in the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am. Novo Nordisk is currently engaged in litigation against the government seeking a declar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ation that its 340B policy is consistent with rele<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vant US laws. On 30 January 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued a ruling holding that No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk\u2019s drug distribution policy meets the requir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ements of the 340B statute. This ruling, as well as other expected rulings in r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated matters pending before the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Seventh and DC Cir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>cuits, may be subject to further discretionary appellate re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>view before the US Supreme Court. Depending on the outcome of any subsequent appeals in this and related matters, ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e may be a material impact on Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s financial position, net sales and cash flow<span class=\"_ _10\"/>.Mosaic Health Inc. and Central Virginia Health Services, Inc. (both 340B cover<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed entities) filed a putative class action lawsuit in NY Federal Court against Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk US, Eli Lilly, Sanofi and AstraZeneca alleging a conspiracy among the manufactur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ers to artificially fix prices of diabetes medications through changes to their policies r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elating to the distribution of 340B drugs through contr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>act pharmacy arrangements. The lawsuit was subsequently dismissed by the Court on 2 September 2022, and the plaintiffs have sought leave to file an amended complaint. Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk does not expect this matter to have a material impact on No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk\u2019s financial position, operating pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ofit or cash flow.Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk is currently defending fourteen lawsuits, including three putative class actions, relating to the pricing of diabetes medicines. Four of these cases are pending in Ne<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w Jersey federal court; four are pending in federal courts in Mississippi, Arkansas, Montana and Ne<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w York and the remaining six ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e pending in state courts in Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, California, Missouri and Puerto Rico. All pending matters also name as defendants Eli Lilly and Company and Sanofi, while certain matters also name Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and related entities. Plaintiffs generally allege that the manufactur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ers and PBMs colluded to artificially inflate list prices paid by consumers for diabetes pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts, while offering reduced prices to PBMs thr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ough rebates used to secure formulary access. Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk does not expect the lawsuits to have a material impact on Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s financial position, operating profit or cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w.In 2016, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk US received a Civil Investigative Demand from the US Department of Justice (\u201cDOJ CID\u201d) relating to potential off-label marketing of \u00aeNovoSe<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ven (including high dose and for prophylactic use) and inter<span class=\"_ _10\"/>actions with physicians and patients. The DOJ investigation was likely prompted b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y a lawsuit filed in 2015 by a former No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk US employee (the \u201cRelator\u201d) in the Western District of Oklahoma. Relator alleges No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk US caused the submission of false claims to Medicare, Medicaid, Feder<span class=\"_ _10\"/>al Employees Health Benefits Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am and private insurers in California as a result of the same conduct that was the subject of the DOJ CID<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. In 2019, the DOJ and 28 state AGs declined to intervene in the Relator\u2019s lawsuit. The State of Washington chose to intervene, and a consolidated complaint was filed and unsealed by the court on 28 May 2020. No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk moved to dismiss the complaint, which resulted in certain claims being dismissed and certain claims remaining at this stage of the case. This matter is in the early stages of discovery and No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk does not expect the lawsuit to have a material impact on Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s financial position, operating profit or cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w. Pending claims against No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk and Investigations involving No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo\ue662NordiskNovo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk US has received Civil Investigative Demands (CIDs) or subpoenas from se<span class=\"_ _10\"/>veral US authorities including Attorneys General fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om the states<span class=\"_ _5\"/> of Washington, Ne<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w Mexico, New Y<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ork, Colorado, Vermont, Illinois, T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>exas, Ohio and the US Federal T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>rade Commission that call for the production of documents and information relating to, among other things, the company\u2019s trade pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>actices relating to its insulin and GLP-1 products. Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk<span class=\"_ _5\"/> is cooperating with the r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elevant government authorities in each of these investigative matters and does not expect these matters to have a material impact on Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s financial position, operating profit or cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w.In December 2021, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk US received a CID from the United States Department of Justice relating to the company\u2019s financial relationships with \u00ae\u00aehealthcare pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ofessional and prescriptions for Ozempic and Rybelsus during the period of 1 January 2016 to present. No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk is cooperating with Department of Justice in this investigation and does not expect this matter to have a material impact on Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s financial position, operating profit or cash flow<span class=\"_ _10\"/>.Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk is one of several pharmaceutical companies that received requests for information involving pricing pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>actices for its diabetes products from se<span class=\"_ _10\"/>veral committees of the Unites States House of Representatives and/or United States Senate. Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk has responded to the various committees in response to their r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>equests. Novo Nordisk does not expect the inquiries to have a material impact on Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s financial position, operating pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ofit or cash flow.Contingent liabilitiesNovo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk is currently involved in pending litigations, claims and investigations arising out of the normal conduct of its business. While pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions that Management deems to be reasonable and appropriate have been made for probable losses, ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e are inherent uncertainties connected with these estimates.Other contingent liabilitiesIn addition to the above, the No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk Group is engaged in certain litigation proceedings and various ongoing audits and investigations. In the opinion of Management, neither settlement nor continuation of such proceedings, nor such pending audits and investigations, ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e expected to have a material effect on Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s financial position, operating profit or cash flow<span class=\"_ _10\"/>.Accounting policiesPro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for sales rebates and discounts granted to government agencies, wholesalers, retail pharmacies, Managed Car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e and other customers are recor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ded at the time the related revenues ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recorded or when the incentives are offer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed. Provisions are calculated based on Management's interpr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>etation of applicable laws and regulations, historical e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xperience and the specific terms<span class=\"_ _5\"/> in the individual agreements. Unsettled r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebates are recognised as pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions<span class=\"_ _5\"/> when the timing or amount is uncertain. Where absolute amounts ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e known, the rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recognised as other liabilities. Please refer to note 2.1 for further information on sales rebates and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions.Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for legal disputes are recognised where a legal or constructive obligation has been incurred as a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esult of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w of resources that can be reliably estimated. In this case, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk arrives at an estimate based on an evaluation of the most likely outcome. Disputes for which no reliable estimate can be made are disclosed as contingent liabilities.Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions are measured at the present value of the anticipated e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpenditure for settlement. This is calculated using a pre-tax discount r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of mone<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovision for interest is recognised as a financial expense.Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk issues credit notes for expired goods as a part of normal business. Where ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e is historical experience or a reasonably accurate estimate of expected futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e returns can otherwise be made, a provision for estimated product r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns is recorded. The pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vision is measured at gross sales value.Key accounting estimates r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>egarding ongoing legal disputes, litigation and investigationsPro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for legal disputes consist of various types of provisions linked to ongoing legal disputes. Management makes estimates regar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ding provisions and contingencies, including the probability of pending and potential future litigation outcomes. These ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e by nature dependent on inherently uncertain future e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vents. When determining likely outcomes of litigation, etc., Management considers the input of external counsel on each case, as well as known outcomes in case law<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. Although Management believes that the total pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for legal proceedings are adequate based on currently available information, there can be no assur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ance that there will not be any changes in facts or matters, or that any future lawsuits, claims, pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oceedings or investigations will not be material.Section 4 Capital structur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e and financial items4.1 Distribution to shareholders <span class=\"fs5f\"> </span>DKK million<span class=\"_ _190\"> </span>2022<span class=\"_ _e3\"> </span>2021<span class=\"_ _4b\"> </span>2020Interim dividend for the year<span class=\"_ _2a\"> </span>9,613<span class=\"_ _8c\"> </span>8,021<span class=\"_ _d8\"> </span>7,570Dividend for prior year<span class=\"_ _191\"> </span>15,690<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>13,496<span class=\"_ _86\"> </span>12,551Share r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>epurchases for the year<span class=\"_ _95\"> </span>24,086<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>19,447<span class=\"_ _85\"> </span>16,855T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>otal<span class=\"_ _b3\"> </span>49,389<span class=\"_ _60\"> </span>40,964<span class=\"_ _85\"> </span>36,976Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's guiding principle is that any excess capital after the funding of organic gro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wth opportunities and potential acquisitions should be returned to investors.

The majority<span class=\"_ _5\"/> of Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's sales are in USD<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, EUR, CNY<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, JPY, CAD and GBP<span class=\"_ _8\"/>. The foreign ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>change risk is most significant in USD, CNY and CAD<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, while the EUR exchange rate risk is r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>egarded as low because of Denmark's fix<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed exchange r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ate policy<span class=\"_ _5\"/> towar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ds EUR.<span class=\"_ _5\"/> The over<span class=\"_ _10\"/>all objective of foreign exchange risk management is to r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>educe the short-term negative impact of ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>change rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flow<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, thereby contributing to the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>edictability of the financial results.Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk hedges existing assets and liabilities in key currencies as well as future e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpected cash flows up to a maximum of 24 months forward. Hedge accounting is applied to match the impact of the hedged item and the hedging instrument in the consolidated income statement. The currency hedging strategy balances risk r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eduction and cost of hedging by use of foreign e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange forwards and foreign e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange options matching the due dates of the hedged items. Expected cash flows ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e continually assessed using historical inflows, budgets and monthly sales for<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecasts. Hedge effectiveness is assessed on a regular basis.

The cumulative value adjustment of these contracts is tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferred from other comprehensive income to the income statement when the hedged transaction is r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised in the income statement. For cash flow hedges of for<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eign currency risk on highly probable non-financial asset purchases, the cumulative value adjustments ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e transferred directly fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om the cash flow hedge reserve to the initial cost of the asset when recognised.Discontinuance of cash flow hedgingWhen a hedging instrument expir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>emains in equity and is recognised when the forecasted tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecasted tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansaction is no longer expected to occur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferred to the income statement under financial income or financial expenses.

Net proceeds of the issuances have been used for gener<span class=\"_ _10\"/>al corporate purposes, including refinancing of the bridge loan facility established in connection with Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s acquisition of Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 2021. In 2021, two tranches with an aggr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>egate principal amount of EUR 1.3 billion corresponding to DKK 9.7 billion wer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e launched. Net proceeds of the issuances have been used by No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk for general corporate purposes, including refinancing of the bridge loan facility established in connection with Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s acquisition of Emisphere T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>echnologies Inc. in 2020. Issued Eurobonds ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e listed on Euronext Dublin. The total fair value of issued Eurobonds amounts to DKK 18.7 billion (DKK 9.6 billion in 2021).Sale and repur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>chase agreementIn 2021, as part of bridge funding the acquisition of Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk entered into a sale and repurchase agr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eement of marketable securities (REPO). On 31 December 2021, the carrying amount of the assets transferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed was DKK 5,937 million, and the associated liabilities amounted to DKK 5,937 million. The repur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>chase was fixed, and Novo Nordisk therefor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e retained full exposure fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om fair value changes of the marketable securities. Therefor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e, the transaction was treated as a collateralised lending arrangement. The marketable securities wer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e repurchased in 2022. Accounting policies The lease liabilities are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to IFRS 16 leases, primarily for premises and company cars and include the present value of futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e lease payments during the lease term. Lease liabilities are initially measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at the present value of the lease payments outstanding at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>owing rate. The lease liability is measured using the effective interest method. The lease liability is subsequently r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>emeasured to reflect changes in futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e lease payments, e.g. changes in lease terms. Issued bonds, loans and bank over<span class=\"_ _10\"/>drafts are initially recognised at the fair value of the proceeds r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived less transaction costs. In subsequent periods these are measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The difference between the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oceeds received and the nominal value is recognised in financial income or financial e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpenses over the term of the loan. Where substantially all the risks and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ewards of ownership are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>etained in financial assets that have been transferred, the assets are not derecognised and the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oceeds obtained are recognised as a financial liability<span class=\"_ _10\"/>.

These financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value. Equity investments ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e included in other financial assets. Net gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of equity instruments and marketable securities are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised in the income statement as financial income or expenses. For a description of accounting policies on derivative financial instruments designated to hedge accounting, please refer to note 4.4.Financial assets at fair value through other compr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ehensive income are trade receivables that ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e held to collect or to sell in factoring agreements. Financial assets at amortised cost are cash at bank and non-derivative financial assets solely with payments of principal and interest. No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk normally 'holds-to-collect' the financial assets to attain the contractual cash flows. If collection is e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpected within one year (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), the<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y are classified as current assets. If not, they ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e presented as non-current assets. These are initially measured at fair value less tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansaction costs, except for trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables that are initially measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at the transaction price. Subsequently, the<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y are measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. For a description of accounting policies on trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables, please refer to note 3.4.Purchases and sales of financial assets ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recognised on the settlement date. Financial assets are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>emoved from the balance sheet when the rights to receive cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ws have expired or have been transferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed and Novo Nordisk has substantially transferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed all the risks and rewards of o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wnership. Financial liabilities at fair value through the income statement consist of financial derivative instruments. Financial liabilities at amortised cost consist of borro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wings (loans, issued Eurobonds, bank o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verdrafts and lease liabilities), trade payables and other liabilities (primarily employee cost payables, payables r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to non-current assets, sales rebates as well as deferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed revenue). Other liabilities primarily comprises employee cost payables, payables r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to non-current assets, sales rebates as well as deferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed revenue. These are initially r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised at the fair value of the proceeds r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived less transaction costs. The difference between the proceeds r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived and the nominal value is recognised in financial expenses o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver the term of the loan using the effective interest method. For initial recognition of lease liabilities r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>efer to note 4.5. Financial liabilities are der<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised when the obligation is repaid, cancelled or expir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es.Fair value measurementIf an active market exists, the fair value of a financial instrument is based on the most recently observed market price at the end of the r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eporting period. If a financial instrument is quoted in a market that is not active, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk bases its valuation on the most recent tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansaction price. Adjustment is made for subsequent changes in market conditions, for instance by including transactions in similar financial instruments assumed to be motivated b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y normal business considerations. The fair values of quoted investments ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e based on current bid prices at the end of the r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eporting period.Financial assets for which no active market exists ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e carried at fair value based on a valuation methodology<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The fair value of such financial instruments are determined on the basis of quoted market prices of financial instruments traded in active markets. The fair value of standar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>d and simple financial instruments, such as foreign e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange forward contracts, inter<span class=\"_ _10\"/>est rate swaps, curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ency swaps and unlisted bonds, is measured according to generally accepted valuation techniques. Market-based input ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e used to measure the fair value.The fair value of trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables in a factoring portfolio is calculated based on the net invoice amount (invoice amount less charge-backs) less the fee payable to the factoring entity<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The factoring fee is insignificant due to the short period between the time of sale to the factoring entity and the invoice due date and the rate applicable.

About Forma Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.Forma Therapeutics Holdings, Inc., including its two fully o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wned subsidiaries Forma Therapeutics, Inc. and Forma Securities Corp, (Collectively Forma Therapeutics) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch, development and commercialization of novel ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>apeutics to transform the lives of patients with r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>are haematological diseases. Strategic r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ationaleThe acquisition of Forma Therapeutics, including its lead de<span class=\"_ _10\"/>velopment<span class=\"_ _5\"/> candidate, etavopivat, is aligned with Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk\u2019s strategy to complement and accelerate its scientific pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esence and pipeline in haemoglobinopathies, a<span class=\"_ _5\"/> group of disor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ders in which there is abnormal production or structure of the haemoglobin protein in the r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed blood cells.

Adjustments may be applied to the purchase price allocation for a period of up to 12 months from the acquisition date. The goodwill is primarily attributable to the highly-skilled workforce in place at Forma Therapeutics. The goodwill is fully allocated to the r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>are disease business segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The purchase price for a business comprises the fair values of the assets transferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed, liabilities incurred to the former owners including warrant holders of the acquired business and the fair value of any asset or liability resulting fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om a contingent consideration arrangement. Any amount of the purchase price which effectively comprises a settlement of a pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e-existing relationship is not part of the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange for the acquiree and is therefor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e not included in the consideration for the purpose of applying the acquisition method. Settlements of pre-e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xisting relationships are accounted for as separate tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansactions in accordance with the relevant IFRS standar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ds.Identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y applying relevant valuation methods. Acquisition-related costs ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e expensed as incurred. Goodwill is recognised at the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xcess of purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.Key accounting estimate in determining the fair value of intangible assets and judgement of whether a transaction is an asset acquisition or a business combinationManagement makes judgements related to intangible assets when assessing whether a transaction is a business combination or an asset acquisition. The assessment of whether a transaction is a business combination or an asset acquisition involves the optional concentration test, which is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If met the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not met, an assessment is made if the acquired company comprise of a business, and should be accounted for as a business combination. The application of the acquisition method involves the use of significant estimates as the identifiable net assets of the acquiree ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recognised at their fair value for which observable market prices are typically not available. This is particularly rele<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vant for intangible assets which require use of valuation techniques typically based on estimates of present value of futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e uncertain cash flows.For the 2022 acquisition of Forma Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. valuations of intellectual property rights wer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e based on estimated and risk adjusted net present value of futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e cash flows. For the 2021 acquisition of Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc. valuation of intellectual property right<span class=\"ws6f\">s </span>is mainly based on Relief From Ro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>yalty models, where Management has estimated the net present value of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oyalties and milestone payments, if the existing resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch collaboration and license agreement had been extended in time and scope to cover all of the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oprietary RNAi technology. Further<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, pipeline assets and resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch collaboration and license agreements with other parties than Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk are valued based on estimated and risk adjusted net present value of futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e cash flows.In 2022, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk A/S acquired 8,415,000 B shares, worth DKK 7.0 billion, from No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Holdings A/S as part of the DKK 24.0 billion share repurchase progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme.

   "value": "Sales discounts and sales rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e predominantly issued in the US. As such, rebates amount to 75% of gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oss sales in the US (75% in 2021 and 74% in 2020). Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for sales rebates include US Managed Care, Medicare, Medicaid, 340B drug pricing progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am and other US rebate types, as well as rebates in a number of Eur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>opean countries and Canada.Pricing mechanisms in the US market In the US, sales rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e paid in connection with public healthcare insurance pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogrammes, including Medicare and Medicaid, as well as rebates to pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and managed healthcare plans. Key customers in the US include private payers, PBMs and go<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vernment payers. PBMs and managed healthcare plans play a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ole in negotiating price concessions with drug manufacturers for both the commer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>cial and government channels, and determine which drugs ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e covered on their formularies (or 'pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eferred drug lists').US Managed Care and Medicar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eFor Managed Care and Medicar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e, rebates are offered to a number of PBMs and managed healthcare plans. These r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebate programmes allow  the customer to receive a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebate after attaining certain performance parameters r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elating to formulary status or pre-established market share thresholds. Rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e estimated according to the specific terms in each agreement, historical e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xperience, anticipated channel mix, growth rates and market share information. No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk adjusts the provision periodically to reflect actual sales performance. Managed Car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e and Medicare rebates are generally settled ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ound 100 days from the transaction date.US wholesaler charge-backsWholesaler charge-backs relate to contr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>actual arrangements between Novo Nordisk and indir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ect customers in the US whereby products ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e sold at contract prices lo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wer than the list price originally charged to wholesalers. Chargebacks are estimated using a combination of factors such as historical experience, curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ent wholesaler inventory levels, contract terms and the value of claims received but not yet pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ocessed. Wholesaler charge-backs are generally settled within 30 days after r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceipt of claim. In January 2021, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk has changed its policy in the US related to the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am, whereby Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk no longer provides 340B statutory discounts to certain pharmacies that contract with co<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vered entities participating in the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am. Novo Nordisk has recognised re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>venue related to the 340B Drug Pricing Program to the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xtent that it is highly probable that its inclusion will not r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esult in a significant revenue re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>versal in the future. Please refer to note 3.5 Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions and contingent liabilities for a more elabor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ate description of the ongoing litigation related to the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am.US Medicaid rebatesMedicaid is a government insur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ance programme. Medicaid rebates have been estimated using a combination of historical experience, pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oduct and population gro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wth, price changes, and the impact of contracting strategies. The calculation also involves interpretation of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elevant regulations that are subject to changes in interpretative guidance fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om government authorities. Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk adjusts the provision periodically to reflect actual sales performance. Medicaid rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e generally settled around 150 days from the transaction date.Other US and non-US discounts and sales returnsOther discounts are pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovided to distributors, wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies, etc. They ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e usually linked to sales volume or provided as cash discounts. Discounts are calculated based on historical data and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecorded as a reduction in gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oss sales at the time the related sales are recor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ded. Sales returns r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elate to damaged or expired products. Other net sales disclosuresIn 2022, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk had three major wholesalers distributing products in the US, repr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esenting 19%, 14% and 13% respectively of global net sales (18%, 13% and 13% in 2021 and 19%, 13% and 12% in 2020). Sales to these three wholesalers are within both Diabetes and Obesity car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e and Rare disease.Net sales to be recognised fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om fulfilling existing customer contracts containing fixed or minimum sales volumes, with an original term gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eater than 12 months, are e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpected to be DKK 1,835 million within 12 months (DKK 1,012 million in 2021) and DKK 798 million thereafter (DKK 962 million in 2021).Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's sales are impacted by e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange rate changes. Refer to note 4.3 for development in ke<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y exchange rates.Accounting policiesRevenue fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om sale of goods is recognised when Novo Nordisk has tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferred control of pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts sold to the buyer and it is probable that Novo Nordisk will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferring the products. Control of the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts is transferred at a single point in time, typically on delivery<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The amount of sales to be recognised is based on the consideration Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk expects to receive in ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>change for its goods. When sales are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised, Novo Nordisk also recor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ds estimates for a variety of sales deductions; including product r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns as well as rebates and discounts to government agencies, wholesalers, health insur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ance companies, managed healthcare organisations and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>etail customers. Sales deductions are recognised as a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eduction of gross sales to arrive at net sales, by assessing the expected value of the sales deductions (variable consider<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ation). Where contracts contain customer acceptance criteria, No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk recognises sales when the acceptance criteria are satisfied.In some markets, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk sells products on a sale-or-return basis. Where ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e is historical experience or a reasonably accurate estimate of future r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns, estimated product returns are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecorded as a reduction in sales. Where shipments of ne<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w products are made on a sale-or-return basis, Key accounting estimates of sales deductions and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions for sales rebatesSales deductions are estimated and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovided for at the time the related sales are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecorded. These estimates of unsettled rebate, discount and product r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturn obligations require use of significant judgement, as not all conditions are kno<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wn at the time of sale, for example total sales volume to a given customer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The estimates are based on analyses of existing contr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>actual obligations and historical experience. Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions are calculated on the basis of a percentage of sales for each pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oduct as defined by the contracts with the various customer groups. Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions for sales rebates are adjusted to actual amounts as rebates, discounts and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns are processed. Revenue r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to 340B drug pricing program can only be recognised to the extent that it is highly pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>obable that a significant reversal of the recognised re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>venue will not occur. Determining the amount of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>evenue to recognise requir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es significant estimation. Management has considered interpretations of applicable laws, whether the consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's influence, as well as the historical claims experience. Please refer to note 3.5 Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions and contingent liabilities for information on the ongoing litigation related to the 340B Drug Pricing Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogram.Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk considers the provisions established for sales rebates to be reasonable and appr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>opriate based on currently available information. Howe<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver, the actual amount of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebates and discounts may differ from the amounts estimated by Management as mor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e detailed information becomes available. Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk operates in two business segments based on therapies: Diabetes and Obesity care and Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e disease (formerly known as Biopharm), repr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esenting the entirety of the Group'<span class=\"_ _10\"/>s operations. The activities of the segments include resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch, development, manufacturing and marketing of products within the follo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wing areas:\u2013   <span class=\"_ _15\"/>Diabetes and Obesity care: diabetes, obesity and other serious chronic diseases\u2013   <span class=\"_ _15\"/>Rare disease: rare blood disor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ders, rare endocrine disorders and hormone replacement ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>apy.Segment performance is evaluated on the basis of oper<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ating profit, consistent<span class=\"_ _5\"/> with the consolidated financial statements. Financial income and expenses and income taxes ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e managed at Group level and are not allocated to business segments. There ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e no sales or other transactions between the business<span class=\"_ _5\"/> segments. Costs have generally been split between business segments according to a specific allocation. Certain corpor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ate overhead costs are allocated between segments based on over<span class=\"_ _10\"/>all allocation keys. Other operating income and expenses have been allocated to the two segments based on the same principle. Accounting policiesOperating segments ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovided to Executive Management and the Board of Dir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ectors. We consider Executive Management to be the oper<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ating decision-making body.Geographical ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>easIn 2022, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk operated in two main commercial units:\u2013 International Operations   \u2013 EMEA: Europe, the Middle East and Africa.   \u2013 China: Mainland China, Hong Kong and T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>aiwan.   \u2013 Rest of World: All other countries e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xcept for North America.\u2013 North America Operations (the US and Canada).In 2022, the US contributed with 10% or more of total net sales. In 2021 and2020 Mainland China also contributed with 10% or more of total net sales. The country of domicile is Denmark, which is part of EMEA. Denmark is immaterial to Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's activities in terms of sales as 99.8% of total sales are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ealised outside Denmark. Sales are attributed to geographical areas according to the location of the customer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. Out of total property<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, plant and equipment and intangible assets of DKK 118,087 million (DKK 98,533 million in 2021), DKK 54,492 million is located in Denmark (DKK 46,705 million in 2021) and DKK 44,744 million <span class=\"ls57 ws5e\">is </span>located in the US (DKK 41,035 million in 2021) where the majority of pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oduction<span class=\"_ _5\"/> facilities and intangible assets are located. Refer to note 5.7 for an o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verview of companies in the Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk Group based on geographical areas.without sufficient historical experience for estimating sales r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns, revenue is recor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ded based on estimated demand and acceptance rates for well-established products with similar market char<span class=\"_ _10\"/>acteristics. If similar market characteristics do not e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xist, revenue is recor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ded when there is evidence of consumption or when the right of return has e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpired. Unsettled rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recognised as provisions when the timing or amount is uncertain (note 3.5).Where absolute amounts ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e known, the rebates are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised as other liabilities. Wholesaler charge-backs that are absolute ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e netted against trade receivable balances.The impact of foreign curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ency hedging is recognised in the income statement in financial items.

This means that they do not qualify for capitalisation as intangible assets until marketing appro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>val by a regulatory authority is obtained or consider<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed highly probable. Costs for post-appro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>val activities that are required b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y authorities as a condition for obtaining<span class=\"_ _5\"/> regulatory appr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oval are recognised as r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development costs. Research and de<span class=\"_ _10\"/>velopment costs primarily comprise employee costs as well as internal and external costs r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to execution of studies, includingmanufacturing costs and facility costs of the resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch centres. The costs also comprise amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to intellectual property rights and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>operty, plant and equipment used in the resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch and development activities. Amortisations of intellectual property rights related to marketed pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts are recognised in cost of goods sold. The largest individual type of cost included in Other resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch and development costs ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e clinical trial cost.Certain resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch and development activities are recognised outside r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development costs:\u2013 Royalty e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpenses paid to partners after regulatory approval ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e expensed as cost of goods sold\u2013 Royalty income r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived from partners is recognised as part of other operating income and e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpenses\u2013 Contractual r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development obligations to be paid in the future are disclosed separ<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ately as commitments in note 5.2.Wages, salaries, social security contributions, annual leave and sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised in the year in which the associated services are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>endered by employees of No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk. Where Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk provides long-term employee benefits, the costs ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e accrued to match the rendering of the services b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y the employees concerned.Accounting policiesThe tax expense for the period comprises curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ent and deferred tax. It also includes adjustments to pre<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vious years and changes in provisions for uncertain tax positions. T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ax is recognised in the income statement e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xcept to the extent that it relates to items r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised in equity or other comprehensive income. Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for ongoing tax disputes are included as part of deferred tax assets, tax receivables and tax payables.Deferred income tax<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es arise from temporary differences between the accounting and tax values of the individual consolidated companies and from r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ealisable tax loss carry-forwards. However<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, deferred tax liabilities ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e not recognised if the<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ofit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The tax value of tax loss carry-forwar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ds is included in deferred tax assets to the extent that these ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e expected to be utilised in future taxable income. The deferred income tax<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es are measured according to current tax rules and at the tax r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ates assumed in the year in which the assets are e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpected to be utilised. In general, the Danish tax rules r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to dividends from group companies pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vide exemption from tax for most r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>epatriated profits. In some countries withholding tax will be applied to dividends paid to Denmark. A pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vision for withholding tax is only recognised if a concr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ete distribution of dividends is planned. The unrecognised potential withholding tax amounts to  DKK 567 million (DKK 444 million in 2021). The value of future tax deductions in r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elation to share programmes is recognised as a deferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed tax asset until the shares are paid out to the employees. Any estimated e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xcess tax deduction compared to the costs realised in the income statement is charged to equity<span class=\"_ _10\"/>.Key accounting estimate r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>egarding deferred income tax assets and pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for uncertain tax positionsManagement has considered futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e taxable income and has estimated the amount of deferred income tax assets that should be r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised. The estimate is based on an assessment of whether sufficient taxable income will be available in the future, against which the tempor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised. The total tax value of unrecognised tax loss carry-forwards amounts to DKK 456 million in 2022 (DKK 166 million in 2021).In the course of conducting business globally<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, tax and transfer pricing disputes with tax authorities may occur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. Management has estimated the expected outcome of the disputes b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y using the \u2018most probable outcome\u2019-method to determine the pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for uncertain tax positions. Management considers the pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions made to be adequate. However<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, the actual obligation may deviate and depends on the r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esult of litigation and settlements with the rele<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vant tax authorities.Accounting policiesEarnings per share is pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esented as both basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e is calculated as net profit divided by the monthly average number of shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net profit divided b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y the sum of monthly average number of shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of the outstanding shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e pool. Please refer to 'Financial definitions' for a description of calculation of the dilutive effect.Intangible assets other than goodwillIn 2022, an impairment loss of DKK 760 million (DKK 573 million in 2021) was recognised, all r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to intellectual property rights. DKK 250 million (DKK 436 million in 2021) of the impairment was related to the Diabetes and Obesity care segment and DKK 510 million (DKK 137 million in 2021) was related to Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e disease. The entire impairment loss in 2022 was recognised in resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch and development costs (DKK 573 million in research and development costs in 2021). The impairment was a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esult of Management<span class=\"_ _5\"/>\u2019<span class=\"_ _10\"/>s re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>view of expectations related to intellectual pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>operty rights not yet in use. No impairment related to marketable pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts was identified in 2022 or in 2021<span class=\"ls2\">. </span>Goodwill As of 31 December 2022, goodwill is allocated to the segments Diabetes and Obesity care (DKK 4,154 million) and Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e diseases (DKK 938 million). At 31 December 2021, goodwill from the acquisition of Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc was unallocated as the purchase price allocation for the acquisition was pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visional. As of 31 December 2022, goodwill from the acquisition of Forma Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. is allocated to Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e disease based on a pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visional purchase price allocation. No impairment of goodwill was recognised in 2022 or 2021 as the annual impairment test sho<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wed that the estimated reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verable amount in the forecast period ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ceeded the carrying amount of the cash-generating units to which goodwill was allocated. Goodwill is monitored for impairment at the oper<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ating segment level, which is the lowest le<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vel CGU to which consolidated goodwill is allocated and monitored b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y Management. CGUs are therefor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e defined as Novo Nordisk'<span class=\"_ _10\"/>s business segments, Diabetes and Obesity care and Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e disease. Fair value less costs of disposal is estimated using an income-approach and is based on discounted cash flow pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ojections. The applied post-tax discount rates for Diabetes and Obesity care and Rar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e diseases are 7.0% (Pre-tax discount rate of 8.3%). Cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w projections are based on budgets appro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ved by management. The forecast period for Diabetes and Obesity car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e, and Rare diseases is 9 years. The discounted cash flows fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om the forecast period significantly ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ceeds the carrying amount of goodwill.The key assumptions and sensitivities ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e Novo Nordisk\u2019s volume market share, gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>owth rates, pricing, development of ne<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w markets and the success rate for intr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducing new products and treatments. Sensitivities ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e affected by e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xternal factors such as market- and generic competition, and price regulation.The value assigned to key assumptions r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eflects past experience adjusted for market specific risks or expected changes. Fair value is determined using largely unobservable inputs. Other intangible assets disclosuresIntangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use amount to DKK 28,013 million (DKK 22,690 million in 2021), primarily intellectual property rights and goodwill.Intellectual property rights include DKK 5,546 million pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisionally allocated to Etavopivat (please refer to note 5.3), DKK 4,648 million r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to Ziltivekimab (DKK 4,612 million in 2021) and DKK 3,704 million related to Nedosiran (DKK 3,854 million in 2021), all of which ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e intangible assets under development. In addition, intellectual property rights contain DKK 6,584 million r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to Rybelsus (DKK 7,150 million in 2021), which has a remaining useful life of 12 years (13 years in 2021); and DKK 10,251 million (DKK 10,135 million in 2021) related to the RNAi technology platform, with a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>emaining useful life of 22 years (23 years in 2021). For acquired r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development projects, and intellectual pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>operty rights, the likelihood of obtaining future commer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>cial sales is reflected in the cost of the asset, and thus the probability r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognition criteria is always considered to be satisfied. As the cost of acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed research and development projects can often be measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed reliably, these pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ojects fulfil the capitalisation criteria as intangible assets on acquisition. Subsequent milestone payments payable on achievement of a contingent e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vent (e.g. commencement of phase 3 trials) are accrued and capitalised into the cost of the intangible asset when the achievement of the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vent is probable. Development costs incurred subsequent to acquisition are tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eated consistently with internal project development costs.Recognition and measurementIntangible assets are initially measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at cost, and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any impairment loss. Goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are not subject to amortisation. The<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y are tested annually for impairment, irrespective of whether ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e is any indication<span class=\"_ _5\"/> that they may be impair<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed. Impairment tests are based on Management\u2019s projections and anticipated net pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esent value of estimated future cash flows from marketable pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oducts. Goodwill is allocated to operating segments based on expected futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e cash flow from products utilizing the synergies and kno<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w-how acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed.<span class=\"_ _5\"/> For intellectual property rights acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed for research and development projects, upfr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ont fees and acquisition costs are capitalised as the historical cost. Subsequent milestone payments payable on achievement of a contingent event will be capitalised when the contingent e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vent is probable of being achieved. Intangible assets acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Amortisation is based on the straight-line method o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver the estimated useful life. This corresponds to the legal dur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ation or the economic useful life depending on which is shorter<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, and not exceeding 25 years in either case. The amortisation of intellectual property rights commences after r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>egulatory appro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>val has been obtained or when assets are put in use. Amortisation of software is based on the str<span class=\"_ _10\"/>aight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3-15 years. The amortisation commences when the asset is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y Management.Accounting policiesResearch and de<span class=\"_ _10\"/>velopment projectsInternal and subcontracted r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch costs are fully charged to the consolidated income statement in the period in which they ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e incurred. Consistent with industry practice, de<span class=\"_ _10\"/>velopment costs are also expensed untilregulatory appr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oval is obtained or is probable; please refer to note 2.3.Payments to third parties under collabor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ation and licence agreements are assessed for the substance of their natur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e. Payments which represent subcontracted r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development work are e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpensed as the servicesare r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived. Payments which represent rights to the transfer of intellectual property<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, developed at risk by the thir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>d party, are capitalised.Impairment testGoodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. The<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y are tested annually, irr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>espective of whether there is any indication that they may be impair<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed. Impairment tests are based on Management\u2019s projections and anticipated net pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esent value of estimated future cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ws from marketable products. Assets that are subject to amortisation ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e reviewed for impairment whenever e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vents or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verable. Factors considered material that could trigger an impairment test include the following:\u2013 Development of a competing drug\u2013 Realised sales trending belo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w predicted sales\u2013 Changes or anticipated changes in participation rates or reimbursement policies\u2013 Inconsistent or unfavourable clinical r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eadouts\u2013 Changes in the legal frame<span class=\"_ _10\"/>work covering patents, rights and licences\u2013 Advances in medicine and/or technology that affect the medical treatments\u2013 Adverse impact on reputation and/or br<span class=\"_ _10\"/>and names\u2013 Changes in the economic lives of similar assets\u2013 Relationship to other intangible assets or property<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, plant and equipment.If the carrying amount of intangible assets ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ceeds the recoverable amount based on the existence of one or mor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e of the above indicators of an impairment, any impairment is measured based on discounted pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ojected cash flows. Impairments on intangible assets, other than goodwill, ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>viewed at each reporting date for possible re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>versal. Key accounting estimates and judgements on intangible assets Impairment tests are based on management\u2019s pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ojections and anticipated net present value of estimated futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e cash flows from marketable products. When collaboration agr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eements contain elements of acquisition of intangible assets and resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch and development activities to be performed by the counterpart, management estimates the allocation of payments that should be deferred to the acquisition of intangible assets and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>epaid research and development activities r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>espectively. Accounting policiesProperty<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, plant and equipment is measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciations and any impairment loss. The cost of self-constructed assets includes costs directly attributable to the construction of the assets. Any subsequent cost is included in the asset\u2019s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset only when it is pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>obable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk, and the cost of the item can be measured r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eliably. Depreciation is based on the str<span class=\"_ _10\"/>aight-line method<span class=\"_ _5\"/> over the estimated useful lives of the assets (buildings: 12-50 years, plant and machinery: 5-25 years and other equipment: 3-10 years. Land is not depreciated).The depreciation commences when the asset is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Management. The assets\u2019 r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esidual values and useful lives are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. If an asset\u2019s carrying amount is higher than its estimated reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verable amount, it is written down to the reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verable amount. Plant and equipment with no alternative use developed as part of a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oject are expensed. Howe<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver, plant and equipment with an alternative use or used for general r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esearch and development purposes are capitalised and depr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eciated over the estimated useful life as research and development costs. For contracts which ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e, or contain, a lease, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, being the initial amount of the lease liability<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the str<span class=\"_ _10\"/>aight-line method over the lease term. The right-of-use asset is periodically adjusted for certain remeasur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ements of the lease liability and reduced b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y any impairment losses. The lease term determined by the Gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oup is the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with extension/termination option if these ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e reasonably certain to be ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ercised. For contracts with a rolling term (e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vergreen leases),the Group estimates the leasing period to be equal to the termination period if no probable scenario e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xists for estimating the leasing period. If the lease liability is remeasur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed due to a change in future lease payments a corresponding adjustment is made to the right-of-use asset, or in the income statement when the right-of-use asset has been fully depreciated. For a description of accounting policies for lease liabilities, please refer to note 4.9. Accounting policiesInventories are stated at cost or net r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ealisable value, whichever is lower<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost comprises direct production costs such as r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>aw materials, consumables and labour. Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oduction costs for work in progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ess and finished goods include indirect production costs such as employee costs, depr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eciation, maintenance, etc. If the expected sales price less completion costs to ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecute sales (net realisable value) is lower than the carrying amount, a write-do<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wn is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xceeds its net realisable value.Inventory manufactured prior to r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>egulatory approval (prelaunch inventory) is capitalised but immediately written down, until ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e is a high probability of regulatory appr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oval for the product. The cost is recognised in the income statement as resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch and development costs. Once there is a high probability of regulatory appr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oval being obtained, the write-down is re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>versed, up to no<span class=\"_ _5\"/> more than the original cost.Accounting policiesT<span class=\"_ _10\"/>rade receivables are initially r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective inter<span class=\"_ _10\"/>est method, less allowance for doubtful tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ade receivables. The split of trade receivables and allo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wance for trade receivables is based on the location of the customer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>.Before being sold, tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ade receivables in factoring portfolios are measured at fair value with changes recognised in other compr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ehensive income. The allowance for doubtful r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables is deducted from the carrying amount of trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement under sales and distribution costs. Subsequent reco<span class=\"_ _10\"/>veries of amounts pre<span class=\"_ _10\"/>viously written off are credited against sales and distribution costs.Management makes allowance for doubtful tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ade receivables based on the simplified approach to pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovide for expected credit losses, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovision for all trade receivables. The allowance is an estimate based on shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed credit risk characteristics and the days past due. Generally<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, invoices are due for payment within 90 days from shipment of goods. Loss allowance is calculated using an ageing factor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, geographical risk and specific customer kno<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wledge. The allowance is based on a pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vision matrix on days past due and a forward looking element relating mainly to incorpor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ation of Dun &amp; Bradstreet country risk ratings and an individual assessment. Please refer to note 4.3 for a gener<span class=\"_ _10\"/>al description of credit risk.Accounting policiesPro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for sales rebates and discounts granted to government agencies, wholesalers, retail pharmacies, Managed Car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e and other customers are recor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ded at the time the related revenues ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recorded or when the incentives are offer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed. Provisions are calculated based on Management's interpr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>etation of applicable laws and regulations, historical e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xperience and the specific terms<span class=\"_ _5\"/> in the individual agreements. Unsettled r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebates are recognised as pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions<span class=\"_ _5\"/> when the timing or amount is uncertain. Where absolute amounts ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e known, the rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recognised as other liabilities. Please refer to note 2.1 for further information on sales rebates and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions.Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for legal disputes are recognised where a legal or constructive obligation has been incurred as a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esult of past events and it is probable that there will be an outflo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w of resources that can be reliably estimated. In this case, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk arrives at an estimate based on an evaluation of the most likely outcome. Disputes for which no reliable estimate can be made are disclosed as contingent liabilities.Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions are measured at the present value of the anticipated e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpenditure for settlement. This is calculated using a pre-tax discount r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of mone<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovision for interest is recognised as a financial expense.Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk issues credit notes for expired goods as a part of normal business. Where ther<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e is historical experience or a reasonably accurate estimate of expected futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e returns can otherwise be made, a provision for estimated product r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns is recorded. The pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vision is measured at gross sales value.Key accounting estimates r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>egarding ongoing legal disputes, litigation and investigationsPro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for legal disputes consist of various types of provisions linked to ongoing legal disputes. Management makes estimates regar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ding provisions and contingencies, including the probability of pending and potential future litigation outcomes. These ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e by nature dependent on inherently uncertain future e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vents. When determining likely outcomes of litigation, etc., Management considers the input of external counsel on each case, as well as known outcomes in case law<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. Although Management believes that the total pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for legal proceedings are adequate based on currently available information, there can be no assur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ance that there will not be any changes in facts or matters, or that any future lawsuits, claims, pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oceedings or investigations will not be material.Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's guiding principle is that any excess capital after the funding of organic gro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wth opportunities and potential acquisitions should be returned to investors. The net cash distribution to shareholders in the form of dividends and shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e repur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>chases amounts to DKK 49,389 million, compared with a free cash flow of DKK 57,362 million. The total dividend for 2022 amounts to DKK 27,950 million (DKK 12.40 per share). The 2022 final dividend of DKK 18,337 million (DKK 8.15 per shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e) is expected to be distributed pending appr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oval at the Annual General Meeting. The interim dividend of DKK 9,613 million (DKK 4.25 per share) was paid in August 2022. The total dividend for 2021 was DKK 23,711 million (DKK 10.40 per share), of which the final dividend of DKK 15,690 million (DKK 6.90 per share) was paid in Mar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch 2022. No dividend is declared on treasury shares.Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's dividend pay-outs are complemented by shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e repurchase progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ammes.At the end of 2022, the holding of treasury shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es amounted to 1.3% of the<span class=\"_ _5\"/> total outstanding shares (1.3% of the outstanding shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es in 2021). Treasury shares ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e primarily acquired to reduce the company's share capital. In addition, a limited part is used to finance Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's long-term share-based incentive progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme and restricted stock units to employees. T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>reasury shares are deducted fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om the share capital on cancellation at their nominal value of DKK 0.2 per share. Differ<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ences between this amount and the amount paid to<span class=\"_ _5\"/> acquire or r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived for disposing of treasury shares are deducted dir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ectly in<span class=\"_ _5\"/> retained earnings.The purchase of tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>easury shares during the year relates to the remaining part of the 2021 share r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>epurchase programme, totalling DKK 1.6 billion and the DKK 24 billion Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk B share repurchase pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogramme for 2022, of which DKK 1.5 billion was outstanding at year-end. The progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme ended on 30 January 2023. According to Danish corpor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ate law, reserves available for distribution as dividends are based on the financial statements of the par<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ent company, Novo Nordisk A/S. Dividends ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e paid from distributable reserves. As of 31 December 2022, distributable reserves total DKK 63,136 million (DKK 51,114 million in 2021), corresponding to the par<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ent company<span class=\"_ _5\"/>'s r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>etained earnings and reserve for cash flow hedges and e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange rate adjustments.The fair value of cash flow hedges at year-end 2022, a gain of  DKK 1,026 million, has been recognised in other compr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ehensive income. The financial contracts ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e expected to impact the income statement withinthe next 12 months, with deferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed gains and losses on cash flow hedgesthen being transferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed to financial income or financial expenses. There is no expected ineffectiveness at 31 December 2022, primarily because hedging instruments match currencies of hedged cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ws. Use of derivative financial instrumentsThe derivative financial instruments are used to manage the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xposure to foreign e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange risk. None of the derivatives are held for trading. No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk uses forwar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>d exchange contracts to hedge for<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecast transactions, assets and liabilities. Net investments in foreign subsidiaries ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e currently not hedged.Accounting policiesOn initiation of the contract, No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk designates each derivative financial contract that qualifies for hedge accounting as one of:\u2013 hedges of the fair value of a recognised asset or liability (fair value hedge)\u2013  <span class=\"_ _f\"/>hedges of the fair value of a for<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecast financial transaction (cash flow hedge).All contracts ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e initially recognised at fair value and subsequently remeasur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at fair value at the end of the reporting period.Fair value hedgesValue adjustments of fair value hedges ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recognised in the income statement along with any value adjustments of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.Cash flow hedgesValue adjustments of the effective part of cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income. The cumulative value adjustment of these contracts is tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferred from other comprehensive income to the income statement when the hedged transaction is r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised in the income statement. For cash flow hedges of for<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eign currency risk on highly probable non-financial asset purchases, the cumulative value adjustments ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e transferred directly fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om the cash flow hedge reserve to the initial cost of the asset when recognised.Discontinuance of cash flow hedgingWhen a hedging instrument expir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>emains in equity and is recognised when the forecasted tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecasted tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansaction is no longer expected to occur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferred to the income statement under financial income or financial expenses. For additional disclosures on accounting policies for financial instruments please refer to note 4.9.Accounting policies The lease liabilities are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to IFRS 16 leases, primarily for premises and company cars and include the present value of futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e lease payments during the lease term. Lease liabilities are initially measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at the present value of the lease payments outstanding at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>owing rate. The lease liability is measured using the effective interest method. The lease liability is subsequently r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>emeasured to reflect changes in futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e lease payments, e.g. changes in lease terms. Issued bonds, loans and bank over<span class=\"_ _10\"/>drafts are initially recognised at the fair value of the proceeds r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived less transaction costs. In subsequent periods these are measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The difference between the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oceeds received and the nominal value is recognised in financial income or financial e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpenses over the term of the loan. Where substantially all the risks and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ewards of ownership are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>etained in financial assets that have been transferred, the assets are not derecognised and the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oceeds obtained are recognised as a financial liability<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. For fair value determination please refer to note 4.9.Accounting policiesCash and cash equivalents consists of cash offset by short-term bank over<span class=\"_ _10\"/>drafts. Where short-term bank over<span class=\"_ _10\"/>drafts are consistently over<span class=\"_ _10\"/>drawn, they ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e excluded from cash and cash equivalents. The mo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vement in such facilities is presented under financing activities in the cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w statement. 4.9 Financial assets and liabilitiesFinancial assets by categoryDKK million<span class=\"_ _189\"> </span>2022<span class=\"_ _e3\"> </span>2021Other financial assets<span class=\"_ _1ae\"> </span>559<span class=\"_ _70\"> </span>553Marketable securities<span class=\"_ _1af\"> </span>10,921<span class=\"_ _8c\"> </span>6,765Financial assets at fair value through the income statement<span class=\"_ _1b0\"> </span>11,480<span class=\"_ _8c\"> </span>7,318Derivative financial instruments (note 4.4)<span class=\"_ _19\"> </span>2,727<span class=\"_ _8c\"> </span>1,690Derivatives used as hedging instruments (assets)<span class=\"_ _1b1\"> </span>2,727<span class=\"_ _8c\"> </span>1,690Other financial assets<span class=\"_ _1ae\"> </span>457<span class=\"_ _70\"> </span>363T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>rade receivables (note 3.4)<span class=\"_ _a6\"> </span>16,593<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>15,036Other receivables and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>epayments(current and non-curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ent)<span class=\"_ _184\"> </span>6,211<span class=\"_ _b6\"> </span>5,304\u2013 less prepayments and V<span class=\"_ _10\"/>A<span class=\"_ _10\"/>T receivables<span class=\"_ _28\"> </span>(5,073)<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>(3,438)Cash at bank (note 4.6)<span class=\"_ _17e\"> </span>12,653<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>10,720Financial assets at amortised cost<span class=\"_ _7c\"> </span>30,841<span class=\"_ _60\"> </span>27,985T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>rade receivables in a factoring portfolio<span class=\"_ _13c\"> </span>33,967<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>25,607Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income<span class=\"_ _1b2\"> </span>33,967<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>25,607T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>otal financial assets at the end of the year by category<span class=\"_ _1b3\"> </span>79,015<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>62,600Financial liabilities by categoryDerivative financial instruments (note 4.4)<span class=\"_ _19\"> </span>2,903<span class=\"_ _8c\"> </span>2,184Derivatives used as hedging instruments (liability)<span class=\"_ _e5\"> </span>2,903<span class=\"_ _8c\"> </span>2,184Borro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wings (non-current) (note 4.5)<span class=\"_ _50\"> </span>24,318<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>12,961Borro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wings (current) (note 4.5)<span class=\"_ _1b4\"> </span>1,466<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>13,684T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>rade payables<span class=\"_ _c5\"> </span>15,587<span class=\"_ _b6\"> </span>8,870Other liabilities (non-current)<span class=\"_ _68\"> </span>100<span class=\"_ _149\"> </span>360Other liabilities (current)<span class=\"_ _d5\"> </span>23,606<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>19,600\u2013 less V<span class=\"_ _10\"/>AT and duties payable<span class=\"_ _a6\"> </span>(875)<span class=\"_ _169\"> </span>(590)Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost<span class=\"_ _1b5\"> </span>64,202<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>54,885T<span class=\"_ _10\"/>otal financial liabilities at the end of the 1year by category67,105<span class=\"_ _d4\"> </span>57,0691.

These financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value. Equity investments ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e included in other financial assets. Net gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of equity instruments and marketable securities are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised in the income statement as financial income or expenses. For a description of accounting policies on derivative financial instruments designated to hedge accounting, please refer to note 4.4.Financial assets at fair value through other compr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ehensive income are trade receivables that ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e held to collect or to sell in factoring agreements. Financial assets at amortised cost are cash at bank and non-derivative financial assets solely with payments of principal and interest. No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk normally 'holds-to-collect' the financial assets to attain the contractual cash flows. If collection is e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpected within one year (or in the normal operating cycle of the business, if longer), the<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y are classified as current assets. If not, they ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e presented as non-current assets. These are initially measured at fair value less tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansaction costs, except for trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables that are initially measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at the transaction price. Subsequently, the<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y are measur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment. For a description of accounting policies on trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables, please refer to note 3.4.Purchases and sales of financial assets ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recognised on the settlement date. Financial assets are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>emoved from the balance sheet when the rights to receive cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ws have expired or have been transferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed and Novo Nordisk has substantially transferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed all the risks and rewards of o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wnership. Financial liabilities at fair value through the income statement consist of financial derivative instruments. Financial liabilities at amortised cost consist of borro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wings (loans, issued Eurobonds, bank o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>verdrafts and lease liabilities), trade payables and other liabilities (primarily employee cost payables, payables r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to non-current assets, sales rebates as well as deferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed revenue). Other liabilities primarily comprises employee cost payables, payables r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to non-current assets, sales rebates as well as deferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed revenue. These are initially r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised at the fair value of the proceeds r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived less transaction costs. The difference between the proceeds r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived and the nominal value is recognised in financial expenses o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver the term of the loan using the effective interest method. For initial recognition of lease liabilities r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>efer to note 4.5. Financial liabilities are der<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised when the obligation is repaid, cancelled or expir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es.Fair value measurementIf an active market exists, the fair value of a financial instrument is based on the most recently observed market price at the end of the r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eporting period. If a financial instrument is quoted in a market that is not active, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk bases its valuation on the most recent tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansaction price. Adjustment is made for subsequent changes in market conditions, for instance by including transactions in similar financial instruments assumed to be motivated b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y normal business considerations. The fair values of quoted investments ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e based on current bid prices at the end of the r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eporting period.Financial assets for which no active market exists ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e carried at fair value based on a valuation methodology<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The fair value of such financial instruments are determined on the basis of quoted market prices of financial instruments traded in active markets. The fair value of standar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>d and simple financial instruments, such as foreign e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange forward contracts, inter<span class=\"_ _10\"/>est rate swaps, curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ency swaps and unlisted bonds, is measured according to generally accepted valuation techniques. Market-based input ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e used to measure the fair value.The fair value of trade r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceivables in a factoring portfolio is calculated based on the net invoice amount (invoice amount less charge-backs) less the fee payable to the factoring entity<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The factoring fee is insignificant due to the short period between the time of sale to the factoring entity and the invoice due date and the rate applicable. Inputs into the estimate of US wholesaler charge-backs are described in note 2.1.Accounting policiesAs described in note 4.3, Management has chosen to classify the result of hedging activities as part of financial items in the income statement ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>cept for foreign curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ency-risk cash flow hedges on highly probable non-financial asset purchases, wher<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e the cumulative value adjustments are transferred directly fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om the cash flow hedge reserve to the initial cost of the asset when recognised. Financial items primarily relate to for<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eign exchange elements and are mainly impacted by the cumulative value adjustment of cash flo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w hedges transferred from other compr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ehensive income to the income statement when the hedged<span class=\"_ _5\"/> transaction is r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised in the income statement.<span class=\"_ _5\"/> In addition, value adjustments of fair value hedges are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised in financial income and financial expenses along with any value adjustments of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. Restricted stock units to employeesIn appreciation of the efforts of emplo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>yees during recent years, as of 1 August 2019, all employees in the company wer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e offered 75 restricted stock units. A restricted stock unit gives the holder the right to r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceive one Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk B share free of charge in February 2023, subject to continued employment. The cost of the DKK 660 million pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogramme is amortised over the vesting period.Long-term share-based incentive pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogrammeManagement BoardOn 31 January 2023, the Board of Dir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ectors approved an interim allocation of 0.4 million Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk B shares to the members of the Management Board for the 2022 financial year<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The number of shares is periodically estimated based on long-term incentive performance. The final number of shares allocated for the 2022 pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogramme is to be decided at the end of the performance period in 2024. The value at launch of the progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme (adjusted for expected dividends) was DKK 234 million. The cost of the 2022 progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme is amortised over the vesting period of 2022-2024 at an annual amount of DKK 78 million. The maximum share allocation cannot ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ceed 26 months' base salary for the CEO, 19.5 months' base salary for ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecutive vice presidents and up to 15.6 months' base salary for senior vice presidents. Financial targets ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e set by the Board for a three-year period, while every year the Boar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>d sets the non-financial targets, with the first time having been in February 2022 for the year 2022. The grant date of the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogramme was February 2022, and the share price used for the determining the grant date fair value of the awar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>d was the average shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e price for Novo Nordisk B shares on Nasdaq Copenhagen in the period 2-16 February 2022, adjusted for the expected dividend (DKK 639). Based on the split of participants when the share allocation was decided, 47% of the allocated shares will be allocated to members of Ex<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecutive Management and 53% to other members of the Management Board.The shares allocated for 2019 wer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e released to the individual participants subsequent to appro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>val of the 2022 Annual Report by the Board of Directors and after the announcement of the 2022 full-year financial results on 1 February 2023. The shares allocated corr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>espond to a value at launch of the progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme of DKK 152 million, expensed over the vesting period of 2019-2022. The number of shares to be tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferred (0.6 million shares) is higher than the original number of shares allocated, as the aver<span class=\"_ _10\"/>age sales growth in the three-year vesting period was abo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ve the maximum performance target set by the Boar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>d and consequently, the number of shares incr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eased by 30%.All restricted stock units and shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es allocated to Management are settled by treasury shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es at the time of vesting.Management group belo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w the Management BoardThe management group belo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>w the Management Board has a share-based incentive progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme with similar performance criteria. For 2022, a total of<span class=\"_ _5\"/> 1.7 million shares have curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ently been allocated to this group, corresponding to a value at launch of the progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme adjusted for expected dividends of DKK 1,062 million. The number of shares is periodically estimated based on long-term incentive performance. The final number of shares allocated for the 2022 progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme is decided at the end of the performance period in 2024. The<span class=\"_ _5\"/> cost of the 2022 progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme is amortised over the vesting period of 2022-2024 at an annual amount of DKK 354 million. Financial targets are set b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y the Board for a three-year period, while e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>very year the Board sets the non-financial targets.The shares allocated for 2019 wer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e released to the individual participants subsequent to appro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>val of the 2022 Annual Report by the Board of Directors and after the announcement of the 2022 full-year financial results on 1 February 2023. The shares allocated corr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>espond to a value at launch of the progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>amme of DKK 387 million amortised over the period 2019-2022. The number of shares to be tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansferred (1.5 million shares) is higher than the original number of shares allocated, as the aver<span class=\"_ _10\"/>age sales growth in the three-year vesting period was above the maximum performance target set b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y the Board and consequently the number of shar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es increased by 30%.Accounting policiesShare-based compensationNovo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk operates equity-settled, share-based compensation plans.The fair value of the employee services r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceived in exchange for the grant of shares is r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognised as an expense and allocated over the vesting period.The total amount to be expensed o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver the performance and vesting period<span class=\"_ _5\"/> is determined by r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eference to the fair value of the shares granted, e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xcluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. The fair value is fixed at the grant date, and adjusted for e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpected dividends during the vesting period.<span class=\"_ _5\"/> Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of shares that ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e expected to vest. At the end of each reporting period, Novo Nordisk r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>evises its estimates of the number of shares expected to vest. No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo<span class=\"_ _5\"/> Nordisk r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecognises the impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, in<span class=\"_ _5\"/> the income statement and in a corresponding adjustment to equity (change in proceeds) o<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver the remaining vesting period. Adjustments relating to prior years are included in the income statement in the year of adjustment.Accounting policiesThe acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. The purchase price for a business comprises the fair values of the assets transferr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed, liabilities incurred to the former owners including warrant holders of the acquired business and the fair value of any asset or liability resulting fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om a contingent consideration arrangement. Any amount of the purchase price which effectively comprises a settlement of a pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e-existing relationship is not part of the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange for the acquiree and is therefor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e not included in the consideration for the purpose of applying the acquisition method. Settlements of pre-e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xisting relationships are accounted for as separate tr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ansactions in accordance with the relevant IFRS standar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ds.Identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition b<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y applying relevant valuation methods. Acquisition-related costs ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e expensed as incurred. Goodwill is recognised at the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xcess of purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.Key accounting estimate in determining the fair value of intangible assets and judgement of whether a transaction is an asset acquisition or a business combinationManagement makes judgements related to intangible assets when assessing whether a transaction is a business combination or an asset acquisition. The assessment of whether a transaction is a business combination or an asset acquisition involves the optional concentration test, which is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ed is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If met the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not met, an assessment is made if the acquired company comprise of a business, and should be accounted for as a business combination. The application of the acquisition method involves the use of significant estimates as the identifiable net assets of the acquiree ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e recognised at their fair value for which observable market prices are typically not available. This is particularly rele<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vant for intangible assets which require use of valuation techniques typically based on estimates of present value of futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e uncertain cash flows.For the 2022 acquisition of Forma Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. valuations of intellectual property rights wer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e based on estimated and risk adjusted net present value of futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e cash flows. For the 2021 acquisition of Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc. valuation of intellectual property right<span class=\"ws6f\">s </span>is mainly based on Relief From Ro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>yalty models, where Management has estimated the net present value of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oyalties and milestone payments, if the existing resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch collaboration and license agreement had been extended in time and scope to cover all of the pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oprietary RNAi technology. Further<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, pipeline assets and resear<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ch collaboration and license agreements with other parties than Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk are valued based on estimated and risk adjusted net present value of futur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e cash flows.Functional and presentation curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>encyItems included in the financial statements of Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's entities are measured using the curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (functional curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ency).

   "value": "Sales discounts and sales rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e predominantly issued in the US. As such, rebates amount to 75% of gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oss sales in the US (75% in 2021 and 74% in 2020). Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions for sales rebates include US Managed Care, Medicare, Medicaid, 340B drug pricing progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am and other US rebate types, as well as rebates in a number of Eur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>opean countries and Canada.Pricing mechanisms in the US market In the US, sales rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e paid in connection with public healthcare insurance pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogrammes, including Medicare and Medicaid, as well as rebates to pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and managed healthcare plans. Key customers in the US include private payers, PBMs and go<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vernment payers. PBMs and managed healthcare plans play a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ole in negotiating price concessions with drug manufacturers for both the commer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>cial and government channels, and determine which drugs ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e covered on their formularies (or 'pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eferred drug lists').US Managed Care and Medicar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eFor Managed Care and Medicar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e, rebates are offered to a number of PBMs and managed healthcare plans. These r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebate programmes allow  the customer to receive a r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebate after attaining certain performance parameters r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elating to formulary status or pre-established market share thresholds. Rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e estimated according to the specific terms in each agreement, historical e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xperience, anticipated channel mix, growth rates and market share information. No<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vo Nordisk adjusts the provision periodically to reflect actual sales performance. Managed Car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e and Medicare rebates are generally settled ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ound 100 days from the transaction date.US wholesaler charge-backsWholesaler charge-backs relate to contr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>actual arrangements between Novo Nordisk and indir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ect customers in the US whereby products ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e sold at contract prices lo<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wer than the list price originally charged to wholesalers. Chargebacks are estimated using a combination of factors such as historical experience, curr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ent wholesaler inventory levels, contract terms and the value of claims received but not yet pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ocessed. Wholesaler charge-backs are generally settled within 30 days after r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eceipt of claim. In January 2021, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk has changed its policy in the US related to the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am, whereby Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk no longer provides 340B statutory discounts to certain pharmacies that contract with co<span class=\"_ _10\"/>vered entities participating in the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am. Novo Nordisk has recognised re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>venue related to the 340B Drug Pricing Program to the e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xtent that it is highly probable that its inclusion will not r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esult in a significant revenue re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>versal in the future. Please refer to note 3.5 Pro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>visions and contingent liabilities for a more elabor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ate description of the ongoing litigation related to the 340B Drug Pricing Progr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>am.US Medicaid rebatesMedicaid is a government insur<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ance programme. Medicaid rebates have been estimated using a combination of historical experience, pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oduct and population gro<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wth, price changes, and the impact of contracting strategies. The calculation also involves interpretation of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elevant regulations that are subject to changes in interpretative guidance fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om government authorities. Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk adjusts the provision periodically to reflect actual sales performance. Medicaid rebates ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e generally settled around 150 days from the transaction date.Other US and non-US discounts and sales returnsOther discounts are pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovided to distributors, wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies, etc. They ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e usually linked to sales volume or provided as cash discounts. Discounts are calculated based on historical data and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecorded as a reduction in gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oss sales at the time the related sales are recor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ded. Sales returns r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elate to damaged or expired products. Other net sales disclosuresIn 2022, Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk had three major wholesalers distributing products in the US, repr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>esenting 19%, 14% and 13% respectively of global net sales (18%, 13% and 13% in 2021 and 19%, 13% and 12% in 2020). Sales to these three wholesalers are within both Diabetes and Obesity car<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e and Rare disease.Net sales to be recognised fr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>om fulfilling existing customer contracts containing fixed or minimum sales volumes, with an original term gr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eater than 12 months, are e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xpected to be DKK 1,835 million within 12 months (DKK 1,012 million in 2021) and DKK 798 million thereafter (DKK 962 million in 2021).Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's sales are impacted by e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange rate changes. Refer to note 4.3 for development in ke<span class=\"_ _10\"/>y exchange rates.Key accounting estimates of sales deductions and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions for sales rebatesSales deductions are estimated and pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovided for at the time the related sales are r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecorded. These estimates of unsettled rebate, discount and product r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturn obligations require use of significant judgement, as not all conditions are kno<span class=\"_ _10\"/>wn at the time of sale, for example total sales volume to a given customer<span class=\"_ _10\"/>. The estimates are based on analyses of existing contr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>actual obligations and historical experience. Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions are calculated on the basis of a percentage of sales for each pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>oduct as defined by the contracts with the various customer groups. Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions for sales rebates are adjusted to actual amounts as rebates, discounts and r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eturns are processed. Revenue r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>elated to 340B drug pricing program can only be recognised to the extent that it is highly pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>obable that a significant reversal of the recognised re<span class=\"_ _10\"/>venue will not occur. Determining the amount of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>evenue to recognise requir<span class=\"_ _10\"/>es significant estimation. Management has considered interpretations of applicable laws, whether the consideration is highly susceptible to factors outside Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's influence, as well as the historical claims experience. Please refer to note 3.5 Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ovisions and contingent liabilities for information on the ongoing litigation related to the 340B Drug Pricing Pr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ogram.Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk considers the provisions established for sales rebates to be reasonable and appr<span class=\"_ _10\"/>opriate based on currently available information. Howe<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ver, the actual amount of r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ebates and discounts may differ from the amounts estimated by Management as mor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e detailed information becomes available.

   "value": "Accounting policiesRevenue from sale of goods is recognised when Novo Nordisk has transferred control of products sold to the buyer and it is probable that Novo Nordisk will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for transferring the products. Control of the products is transferred at a single point in time, typically on delivery. The amount of sales to be recognised is based on the consideration Novo Nordisk expects to receive in exchange for its goods. When sales are recognised, Novo Nordisk also records estimates for a variety of sales deductions; including product returns as well as rebates and discounts to government agencies, wholesalers, health insurance companies, managed healthcare organisations and retail customers. Sales deductions are recognised as a reduction of gross sales to arrive at net sales, by assessing the expected value of the sales deductions (variable consideration). Where contracts contain customer acceptance criteria, Novo Nordisk recognises sales when the acceptance criteria are satisfied.In some markets, Novo Nordisk sells products on a sale-or-return basis. Where there is historical experience or a reasonably accurate estimate of future returns, estimated product returns are recorded as a reduction in sales. Where shipments of new products are made on a sale-or-return basis, without sufficient historical experience for estimating sales returns, revenue is recorded based on estimated demand and acceptance rates for well-established products with similar market characteristics. If similar market characteristics do not exist, revenue is recorded when there is evidence of consumption or when the right of return has expired. Unsettled rebates are recognised as provisions when the timing or amount is uncertain (note 3.5).Where absolute amounts are known, the rebates are recognised as other liabilities. Wholesaler charge-backs that are absolute are netted against trade receivable balances.The impact of foreign currency hedging is recognised in the income statement in financial items. Please refer to notes 4.3, 4.4 and 4.10 for more details on hedging.",

However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. The tax value of tax loss carry-forwards is included in deferred tax assets to the extent that these are expected to be utilised in future taxable income. The deferred income taxes are measured according to current tax rules and at the tax rates assumed in the year in which the assets are expected to be utilised. Key accounting estimate regarding deferred income tax assets and provisions for uncertain tax positionsManagement has considered future taxable income and has estimated the amount of deferred income tax assets that should be recognised. The estimate is based on an assessment of whether sufficient taxable income will be available in the future, against which the temporary differences and unused tax losses can be utilised. The total tax value of unrecognised tax loss carry-forwards amounts to DKK 456 million in 2022 (DKK 166 million in 2021).In the course of conducting business globally, tax and transfer pricing disputes with tax authorities may occur. Management has estimated the expected outcome of the disputes by using the \u2018most probable outcome\u2019-method to determine the provisions for uncertain tax positions. Management considers the provisions made to be adequate. However, the actual obligation may deviate and depends on the result of litigation and settlements with the relevant tax authorities.",

(both 340B covered entities) filed a putative class action lawsuit in NY Federal Court against Novo Nordisk US, Eli Lilly, Sanofi and AstraZeneca alleging a conspiracy among the manufacturers to artificially fix prices of diabetes medications through changes to their policies relating to the distribution of 340B drugs through contract pharmacy arrangements. The lawsuit was subsequently dismissed by the Court on 2 September 2022, and the plaintiffs have sought leave to file an amended complaint. Novo Nordisk does not expect this matter to have a material impact on Novo Nordisk\u2019s financial position, operating profit or cash flow.Novo Nordisk is currently defending fourteen lawsuits, including three putative class actions, relating to the pricing of diabetes medicines. Four of these cases are pending in New Jersey federal court; four are pending in federal courts in Mississippi, Arkansas, Montana and New York and the remaining six are pending in state courts in Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, California, Missouri and Puerto Rico. All pending matters also name as defendants Eli Lilly and Company and Sanofi, while certain matters also name Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and related entities. Plaintiffs generally allege that the manufacturers and PBMs colluded to artificially inflate list prices paid by consumers for diabetes products, while offering reduced prices to PBMs through rebates used to secure formulary access. Novo Nordisk does not expect the lawsuits to have a material impact on Novo Nordisk\u2019s financial position, operating profit or cash flow.In 2016, Novo Nordisk US received a Civil Investigative Demand from the US Department of Justice (\u201cDOJ CID\u201d) relating to potential off-label marketing of \u00aeNovoSeven (including high dose and for prophylactic use) and interactions with physicians and patients. The DOJ investigation was likely prompted by a lawsuit filed in 2015 by a former Novo Nordisk US employee (the \u201cRelator\u201d) in the Western District of Oklahoma. Relator alleges Novo Nordisk US caused the submission of false claims to Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and private insurers in California as a result of the same conduct that was the subject of the DOJ CID. In 2019, the DOJ and 28 state AGs declined to intervene in the Relator\u2019s lawsuit. The State of Washington chose to intervene, and a consolidated complaint was filed and unsealed by the court on 28 May 2020. Novo Nordisk moved to dismiss the complaint, which resulted in certain claims being dismissed and certain claims remaining at this stage of the case.

Predominantly relates to estimated variable property taxes, leases committed  but not yet commenced and low value leases. 2.  Potential milestone payments are associated with uncertainty as they are linked  to successful achievements in research activities.Contractual obligationsResearch and development obligations include contingent payments related to achieving development milestones. Such amounts entail uncertainties in relation to the period in which payments are due because a proportion of the obligations are dependent on milestone achievements. Exercise fees and subsequent milestone payments under in-licensing option agreements are excluded, as Novo Nordisk is not contractually obligated to make such payments. Commercial product launch milestones include contingent payments solely related to achievement of a commercial product launch following regulatory approval.Commercial milestones, royalties and other payments based on a percentage of sales generated from sale of goods following marketing approval are excluded from the contractual commitments analysis because of their contingent nature, related to future sales. The purchase obligations related to investments in property, plant and equipment primarily relates to production capacity expansion projects. Novo Nordisk expects to fund these commitments with existing cash and cash flow from operations. The contractual obligations not recognised in the balance sheet represent contractual payments and are not discounted and are not risk-adjusted. Other guaranteesOther guarantees amount to DKK 1,222 million (DKK 1,251 million in 2021). Other guarantees primarily relate to performance guarantees issued by Novo Nordisk. ",

   "value": "Mosaic Health Inc. and Central Virginia Health Services, Inc. (both 340B covered entities) filed a putative class action lawsuit in NY Federal Court against Novo Nordisk US, Eli Lilly, Sanofi and AstraZeneca alleging a conspiracy among the manufacturers to artificially fix prices of diabetes medications through changes to their policies relating to the distribution of 340B drugs through contract pharmacy arrangements. The lawsuit was subsequently dismissed by the Court on 2 September 2022, and the plaintiffs have sought leave to file an amended complaint. Novo Nordisk does not expect this matter to have a material impact on Novo Nordisk\u2019s financial position, operating profit or cash flow.Novo Nordisk is currently defending fourteen lawsuits, including three putative class actions, relating to the pricing of diabetes medicines. Four of these cases are pending in New Jersey federal court; four are pending in federal courts in Mississippi, Arkansas, Montana and New York and the remaining six are pending in state courts in Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, California, Missouri and Puerto Rico. All pending matters also name as defendants Eli Lilly and Company and Sanofi, while certain matters also name Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and related entities. Plaintiffs generally allege that the manufacturers and PBMs colluded to artificially inflate list prices paid by consumers for diabetes products, while offering reduced prices to PBMs through rebates used to secure formulary access. Novo Nordisk does not expect the lawsuits to have a material impact on Novo Nordisk\u2019s financial position, operating profit or cash flow.In 2016, Novo Nordisk US received a Civil Investigative Demand from the US Department of Justice (\u201cDOJ CID\u201d) relating to potential off-label marketing of \u00aeNovoSeven (including high dose and for prophylactic use) and interactions with physicians and patients. The DOJ investigation was likely prompted by a lawsuit filed in 2015 by a former Novo Nordisk US employee (the \u201cRelator\u201d) in the Western District of Oklahoma. Relator alleges Novo Nordisk US caused the submission of false claims to Medicare, Medicaid, Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and private insurers in California as a result of the same conduct that was the subject of the DOJ CID. In 2019, the DOJ and 28 state AGs declined to intervene in the Relator\u2019s lawsuit. The State of Washington chose to intervene, and a consolidated complaint was filed and unsealed by the court on 28 May 2020. Novo Nordisk moved to dismiss the complaint, which resulted in certain claims being dismissed and certain claims remaining at this stage of the case.

The majority<span class=\"_ _5\"/> of Novo Nor<span class=\"_ _10\"/>disk's sales are in USD<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, EUR, CNY<span class=\"_ _10\"/>, JPY, CAD and GBP<span class=\"_ _8\"/>.

Hedge accounting is applied to match the impact of the hedged item and the hedging instrument in the consolidated income statement. The currency hedging strategy balances risk r<span class=\"_ _10\"/>eduction and cost of hedging by use of foreign e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange forwards and foreign e<span class=\"_ _10\"/>xchange options matching the due dates of the hedged items. Expected cash flows ar<span class=\"_ _10\"/>e continually assessed using historical inflows, budgets and monthly sales for<span class=\"_ _10\"/>ecasts.

Net proceeds of the issuances have been used for general corporate purposes, including refinancing of the bridge loan facility established in connection with Novo Nordisk\u2019s acquisition of Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in 2021. In 2021, two tranches with an aggregate principal amount of EUR 1.3 billion corresponding to DKK 9.7 billion were launched. Net proceeds of the issuances have been used by Novo Nordisk for general corporate purposes, including refinancing of the bridge loan facility established in connection with Novo Nordisk\u2019s acquisition of Emisphere Technologies Inc. in 2020. Issued Eurobonds are listed on Euronext Dublin. The total fair value of issued Eurobonds amounts to DKK 18.7 billion (DKK 9.6 billion in 2021).Sale and repurchase agreementIn 2021, as part of bridge funding the acquisition of Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Novo Nordisk entered into a sale and repurchase agreement of marketable securities (REPO). On 31 December 2021, the carrying amount of the assets transferred was DKK 5,937 million, and the associated liabilities amounted to DKK 5,937 million. The repurchase was fixed, and Novo Nordisk therefore retained full exposure from fair value changes of the marketable securities. Therefore, the transaction was treated as a collateralised lending arrangement. The marketable securities were repurchased in 2022. ",

If a financial instrument is quoted in a market that is not active, Novo Nordisk bases its valuation on the most recent transaction price. Adjustment is made for subsequent changes in market conditions, for instance by including transactions in similar financial instruments assumed to be motivated by normal business considerations. The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices at the end of the reporting period.Financial assets for which no active market exists are carried at fair value based on a valuation methodology. The fair value of such financial instruments are determined on the basis of quoted market prices of financial instruments traded in active markets. The fair value of standard and simple financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps, currency swaps and unlisted bonds, is measured according to generally accepted valuation techniques. Market-based input are used to measure the fair value.The fair value of trade receivables in a factoring portfolio is calculated based on the net invoice amount (invoice amount less charge-backs) less the fee payable to the factoring entity. The factoring fee is insignificant due to the short period between the time of sale to the factoring entity and the invoice due date and the rate applicable.

Financial items primarily relate to foreign exchange elements and are mainly impacted by the cumulative value adjustment of cash flow hedges transferred from other comprehensive income to the income statement when the hedged transaction is recognised in the income statement.

Potential milestone payments are associated with uncertainty as they are linked  to successful achievements in research activities.Contractual obligationsResearch and development obligations include contingent payments related to achieving development milestones. Such amounts entail uncertainties in relation to the period in which payments are due because a proportion of the obligations are dependent on milestone achievements. Exercise fees and subsequent milestone payments under in-licensing option agreements are excluded, as Novo Nordisk is not contractually obligated to make such payments. Commercial product launch milestones include contingent payments solely related to achievement of a commercial product launch following regulatory approval.Commercial milestones, royalties and other payments based on a percentage of sales generated from sale of goods following marketing approval are excluded from the contractual commitments analysis because of their contingent nature, related to future sales. The purchase obligations related to investments in property, plant and equipment primarily relates to production capacity expansion projects.
