Letter to Shareholders [Notice Regarding the Acquisition of Eli Lilly’ U.S. Manufacturing Facility]

Dear Shareholders,

 

On July 29, we informed you that we had been selected as the preferred bidder for the acquisition of a biologics manufacturing facility in the United States. As of September 20 (local time), we have successfully signed an agreement with Eli Lilly to acquire this facility. We are pleased to share the details with you promptly, as outlined below.

 

1. Overview of the Acquisition

  • Facility to be Acquired: A biopharmaceutical drug substance (DS) plant in Branchburg, New Jersey, owned by global pharmaceutical leader Eli Lilly. The site covers approximately 37 acres, including four buildings (with 10 acres of vacant land available for future use)
  • Acquisition Value: Approximately KRW 460 billion (about KRW 700 billion including operational funds)
  • Acquiring Entity: Celltrion U.S. subsidiary (chosen for operational efficiency and legal stability)

 

2. Completion of Comprehensive U.S. Tariff Response Plan

  • Recently Celltrion has proactively addressed tariff-related risks by transferring two years’ worth of inventory to the U.S. and expanding contracts with local CMO partners, implementing stage-specific measures to mitigate exposure
  • Following validation of the newly acquired facility (estimated 12–18 months), Celltrion products will be manufactured and supplied directly from this site
  • With this acquisition, Celltrion has fundamentally and fully eliminated all potential future tariff risks related to its products in the U.S. market

 

3. Additional Benefits of the Acquisition

  • Immediate Utilization: By acquiring an existing facility rather than constructing a new one, Celltrion achieves significant cost savings and can commence operations immediately. Full employee retention ensures continuity of production and access to skilled expertise, while ongoing CMO contracts provide immediate revenue streams and accelerate recovery of invested capital

 

  • Reduction in External CMO and Logistics Costs: The facility enables full-cycle integration — from drug substance production through finished product manufacturing, packaging, logistics, and sales — within the U.S., thereby strengthening operational capacity. Localized production will also reduce logistics costs previously incurred for U.S.-bound shipments, as well as lower external CMO-related expenses

 

4. Next Steps

  • Preparations are underway to transfer operations and complete closing procedures by year-end
  • During this period, Celltrion will proceed with required regulatory approvals, including U.S. merger control filings, and expects to finalize the transaction by the end of this year

 

As the acquisition process moves forward, we remain committed to keeping our shareholders fully informed of any updates in a timely manner, ensuring continued trust and support for Celltrion. 

 

Thank you.

Celltrion Announces Commercial Availability of Omlyclo™ Across Europe at EADV 2025

Celltrion’s Omlyclo™, the first and only omalizumab biosimilar in Europe, will be commercially available starting in Norway, with subsequent rollouts in European countriesResults from the global Phase III clinical trial of Omlyclo™ (CT-P39) for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), allergic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) will be presented at a satellite symposium during the 2025 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) CongressCelltrion highlights the strength of its expanding dermatology portfolio with positive clinical results for CT-P55, a biosimilar candidate referencing secukinumabWith the launch of Omlyclo™, Celltrion underscores its commitment to advancing innovative and accessible treatments in immunology and dermatology INCHEON, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celltrion, Inc. today showcased its longstanding commitment to expanding its biosimilar portfolio in the field of immuno-dermatology by attending the 2025 European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress, held 17-20 September in Paris, France. Following the European Commission (EC) approval of Omlyclo™, the first and only omalizumab biosimilar in Europe in May 2024, Omlyclo™ will be commercially available starting in Norway, with subsequent rollouts in European countries. As part of Celltrion’s mission to advance knowledge and understanding in dermatology, especially in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), the company hosted satellite symposium presenting the results of the global Phase III clinical trial of Omlyclo™. The global Phase III clinical trial involved 619 patients with CSU, following them up to week 40. Patients were randomized to receive 300 mg or 150 mg of Omlyclo™, or reference product, every 4 weeks. Starting from week 12, patients who received Omlyclo™ were continued on the same treatment and patients who initially received 300mg of the reference product were re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either switch to Omlyclo™ or to continue receiving the reference product. From week 24 until week 40, patients were observed without dosing. The results demonstrated that Omlyclo™ had comparable efficacy and safety to reference product during both treatment and off-dose periods.1,2 “Immuno-dermatology diseases such as CSU significantly impact a patient's quality of life (QoL), affecting various aspects including mental and emotional well-being, social life, daily activities, and even financial stability,” said Prof. Martin Metz, MD, Deputy Director of the Institute of Allergology, Charité- Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany. “Availability of an omalizumab biosimilar in the EU is both timely and significant, offering a much-needed option for patients and healthcare providers. The clinical trial of Omlyclo™ clearly met the safety and efficacy endpoints, thereby offering a tangible promise for all eligible patients.” “At this year’s EADV Congress, Celltrion reinforced dermatologists’ confidence in Omlyclo™, the first and only omalizumab biosimilar in Europe, by presenting robust clinical evidence supporting its biosimilarity and assuring physicians that switching from the original product to Omlyclo™ is safe,” said Taehun Ha, Senior Vice President and Head of Europe at Celltrion. “As a biosimilar-focused company, we remain committed to building long-term trust with healthcare professionals and strengthening our presence in the European market.” To further its commitment to immunology, Celltrion presented an abstract for its proposed secukinumab biosimilar candidate, CT-P55 which demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety profiles to the reference secukinumab in healthy subjects.3 With the launch of Omlyclo™, Celltrion's dermatology portfolio now comprises five products: Remsima™ (infliximab), Remsima™ SC (subcutaneous infliximab), Yuflyma™ (adalimumab), SteQeyma™ (ustekinumab), and Omlyclo™ (omalizumab), further strengthening the company’s presence in the treatment of immune-mediated skin conditions. Celltrion plans to continue solidifying its position in dermatology by advancing biosimilar candidates, including CT-P55, and expanding its post-commercialization activities within the therapeutic area. Notes to Editors: About Omlyclo™ (omalizumab)Omlyclo™ is the first European Commission (EC) approved anti-IgE antibody biosimilar referencing Xolair® (omalizumab). In the EU, Omlyclo™ is indicated for the treatment of patients with allergic asthma, chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). About CT-P55 (biosimilar candidate of secukinumab)CT-P55 is a proposed biosimilar of reference secukinumab developed by Celltrion, Inc. Secukinumab is a human monoclonal antibody that selectively targets interleukin-17A and has been demonstrated to be highly efficacious in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, starting at early time points, with a sustained effect and a favorable safety profile.4 CT-P55 is currently undergoing global Phase III clinical trials. About CelltrionCelltrion is a leading biopharmaceutical company that specializes in researching, developing, manufacturing, marketing and sales of innovative therapeutics that improve people's lives worldwide.

FDA approves expanded indication for AVTOZMA® (tocilizumab-anoh) intravenous (IV) formulation in cytokine release syndrome (CRS)

Approval of AVTOZMA® (tocilizumab-anoh) intravenous infusion expands label to include treatment of adults and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older with cytokine release syndrome (CRS) [1]AVTOMZA received FDA approval in January 2025, for multiple inflammatory indications including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), giant cell arteritis (GCA), polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA), systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in IV formulation [1] INCHEON, South Korea, Aug. 6, 2025-- Celltrion, Inc. today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved an expanded indication of the intravenous (IV) formulation of AVTOZMA® (tocilizumab-anoh) to include the treatment of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) in adults and pediatric patients aged 2 years and older. Following FDA approval of the additional indication for CRS, AVTOZMA IV now aligns with all indications approved for ACTEMRA® IV in the United States.[1] Earlier this year, the FDA approved AVTOZMA as a biosimilar to ACTEMRA in IV formulations for the treatment of multiple diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), giant cell arteritis (GCA), polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA), systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and coronavirus disease (COVID-19).[1] CRS is a potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when the immune system is highly activated, leading to the rapid and excessive release of cytokines into the bloodstream. During a cytokine storm, the overactivated immune system can cause widespread inflammation and damage to healthy tissue and organs throughout the body with symptoms ranging from mild, flu-like symptoms to more severe complications such as low blood pressure, difficulty breathing, and multi-organ failure.[2]"We are proud that AVTOZMA IV has now achieved full indication alignment with the reference ACTEMRA IV. This milestone marks an important step forward in our mission to deliver a safe and effective therapy for CRS," said Thomas Nusbickel, Chief Commercial Officer at Celltrion USA. "This FDA approval expands access to high-quality biologics and supports beneficial patient outcomes across multiple therapeutic areas." In accordance with the patent settlement agreement with Genentech, the IV formulation of AVTOZMA is expected to be available in the U.S. on August 31, 2025. Celltrion holds a license to market the subcutaneous formulation in the U.S. commencing on the licensed launch date, which remains confidential. Notes to Editors: About AVTOZMA® (CT-P47, tocilizumab-anoh) AVTOZMA® (tocilizumab-anoh), containing the active ingredient tocilizumab, is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that acts as an interleukin 6 (IL-6) receptor antagonist.

Letter to Shareholders [Notice Regarding the Acquisition of Eli Lilly’ U.S. Manufacturing Facility]

Dear Shareholders, On July 29, we informed you that we had been selected as the preferred bidder for the acquisition of a biologics manufacturing facility in the United States. As of September 20 (local time), we have successfully signed an agreement with Eli Lilly to acquire this facility. We are pleased to share the details with you promptly, as outlined below. 1. Overview of the AcquisitionFacility to be Acquired: A biopharmaceutical drug substance (DS) plant in Branchburg, New Jersey, owned by global pharmaceutical leader Eli Lilly. The site covers approximately 37 acres, including four buildings (with 10 acres of vacant land available for future use)Acquisition Value: Approximately KRW 460 billion (about KRW 700 billion including operational funds)Acquiring Entity: Celltrion U.S. subsidiary (chosen for operational efficiency and legal stability) 2. Completion of Comprehensive U.S. Tariff Response PlanRecently Celltrion has proactively addressed tariff-related risks by transferring two years’ worth of inventory to the U.S. and expanding contracts with local CMO partners, implementing stage-specific measures to mitigate exposureFollowing validation of the newly acquired facility (estimated 12–18 months), Celltrion products will be manufactured and supplied directly from this siteWith this acquisition, Celltrion has fundamentally and fully eliminated all potential future tariff risks related to its products in the U.S. market 3. Additional Benefits of the AcquisitionImmediate Utilization: By acquiring an existing facility rather than constructing a new one, Celltrion achieves significant cost savings and can commence operations immediately. Full employee retention ensures continuity of production and access to skilled expertise, while ongoing CMO contracts provide immediate revenue streams and accelerate recovery of invested capital Reduction in External CMO and Logistics Costs: The facility enables full-cycle integration — from drug substance production through finished product manufacturing, packaging, logistics, and sales — within the U.S., thereby strengthening operational capacity. Localized production will also reduce logistics costs previously incurred for U.S.-bound shipments, as well as lower external CMO-related expenses 4. Next StepsPreparations are underway to transfer operations and complete closing procedures by year-endDuring this period, Celltrion will proceed with required regulatory approvals, including U.S. merger control filings, and expects to finalize the transaction by the end of this year As the acquisition process moves forward, we remain committed to keeping our shareholders fully informed of any updates in a timely manner, ensuring continued trust and support for Celltrion.  Thank you.

Letter to Shareholders [Explanation and Company Position on the Trump Administration’s Letter Regarding Drug Price Reductions]

Dear Shareholders,On July 31, 2025 (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump sent a letter to 17 global pharmaceutical companies, calling on them to reduce drug prices.This follows the executive order on lowering drug costs signed in May, and outlines several measures to be implemented within 60 days, including: ▲Applying Most Favored Nation (MFN) pricing to Medicaid ▲Guaranteeing MFN pricing for newly launched drugs ▲Redirecting a portion of international profits to benefit U.S. patients and taxpayers ▲Allowing direct-to-patient sales based on MFN pricing.As previously explained in our May 21 website announcement, this initiative appears to be primarily targeted at high-cost drugs that impose a burden on U.S. patients. Since Celltrion already supplies products at competitive prices and promotes price competition through biosimilars, we do not expect our products to be directly affected.Moreover, if the MFN pricing policy leads to reduced prices for expensive originator drugs, the current environment—where originals are prioritized in formularies—is expected to shift toward more direct competition with biosimilars, thereby expanding prescription opportunities for our biosimilar portfolio.In addition, the company has completed mid- to short-term countermeasures related to U.S. pharmaceutical tariff policies, including securing a two-year supply of inventory locally and finalizing agreements with local CMO partners to expand production within the U.S. At the same time, the company has been selected as the preferred bidder for the acquisition of a biologics manufacturing plant in the U.S., preparing a fundamental solution that can comprehensively resolve all potential tariff risks going forward.We remain committed to closely monitoring changes in global healthcare policy, including in the United States, and will continue to share relevant developments with our shareholders promptly to ensure continued trust and support.Thank you.

Letter to Shareholders [Company Statement Regarding U.S. Tariff Response Strategy]

Dear Shareholders, Our company has been closely monitoring the evolving U.S. pharmaceutical tariff policies and has proactively developed phased strategies to minimize their impact. With the recent designation of a preferred bidder for the acquisition of a biologics manufacturing plant in the United States—a fundamental solution to the tariff issue—we are pleased to promptly share the latest developments with our valued shareholders as follows:  1. Comprehensive Update on U.S. Tariff Response StrategyShort-term Response: Completed stockpiling of two years’ worth of inventory within the U.S.Mid-term Response: Expand contracts with local CMO companies to enable domestic production in the U.S. for products sold in the U.SLong-term Response: Designated as the preferred negotiating party for the acquisition of a biologics manufacturing plant in the U.S. Upon completion of the acquisition, this will serve as a fundamental solution capable of fully mitigating all future tariff-related risks. 2. Details on the Facility Acquisition in the U.S.1) OverviewThe facility Celltrion is pursuing is a large-scale cGMP manufacturing plant in the U.S capable of producing drug substances (DS), currently owned by an undisclosed global pharmaceutical company. The plant is located within a major pharmaceutical cluster that has been manufacturing key biologics—such as cancer and autoimmune disease treatments—for several years.Further details, including the name of the company that currently owns the acquired facility, will remain undisclosed until the signing of the final agreement, which is expected to take place in early October, in accordance with mutual agreement. 2) Expected BenefitsResolution of Tariff Risk: Upon completion of the acquisition, the facility is expected to eliminate all future tariff-related risks for our pharmaceutical products. This involves completing the acquisition of a local manufacturing facility, which represents a fundamental solution to the tariff issue. By producing our core products sold in the U.S. directly on-site, we expect to completely eliminate the tariff risks associated with these products. Capacity Expansion Through Facility Growth: We plan to initiate additional facility expansions in line with U.S. sales trends and product launch schedules. Once completed, production capacity is expected to increase by up to 1.5 times that of our Songdo Plant 2. This will not only strengthen our market responsiveness but also ensure that future product launches in the U.S. fall outside the scope of tariff impacts from the outset. Immediate Revenue Generation Post-Acquisition: Approximately 50% of the facility’s capacity is currently under a CMO contract that grants exclusive rights to manufacture the seller’s biologics for five years. This will enable Celltrion to generate revenue immediately upon acquisition. We expect a swift return on investment as a result. The remaining 50% of capacity will be allocated to producing Celltrion’s major products currently sold in the U.S. Enhanced Cost Competitiveness: Once the planned expansions are completed, the local facility will be capable of handling the entire production cycle—from drug substance (DS) and drug product (DP) manufacturing to packaging and distribution—for pharmaceuticals supplied in the U.S. With our U.S. sales network already in place, we expect to see substantial cost efficiencies from in-house manufacturing and logistics savings, thereby enhancing our overall cost competitiveness. Synergies Through Advanced Technology Adoption: With the acquisition of this plant, we plan to significantly strengthen our local research and development (R&D) capabilities in the U.S. Through this, we intend to actively introduce advanced technologies from the U.S. and other global markets to maximize synergies with our production base. As a company that has grown together with our shareholders, we are committed to conducting a thorough due diligence process on the local manufacturing facility as quickly as possible to eliminate tariff-related risks at the root and enhance corporate and shareholder value. Furthermore, we will promptly share all updates related to the company’s key business matters, including the progress of the due diligence process, and strive to repay our shareholders’ continued trust and support. Thank you.

Dear Shareholders, On July 9, 2025 (Korea Standard Time), U.S. President Donald Trump stated that his administration is considering imposing tariffs on pharmaceuticals, with a grace period of up to 18 months. Our company has been continuously monitoring developments regarding the potential imposition of U.S. pharmaceutical tariffs and has prepared response strategies for various scenarios to minimize potential impact. As previously announced, the key points of our response strategy are as follows:  Short-term: We have already secured a two-year inventory supply and plan to maintain this two-year inventory on a rolling basis going forward. Mid-term: We have finalized contracts with local CMO (Contract Manufacturing Organization) partners to enable local production of products sold in the U.S. Long-term: We are currently reviewing the acquisition of a company with manufacturing facilities in the U.S., and we will promptly provide further details to our shareholders once the matter becomes more concrete.  As shared during the investor day in May, we are systematically implementing our response plan not only for the short term but also for the mid to long term. Regardless of when or to what extent the U.S. pharmaceutical tariff policy is finalized, our goal is to have all necessary preparations in place by the end of next year to ensure minimal impact on our business. We will continue to keep our shareholders informed of all relevant developments and strive to maintain your trust and support for the company. Thank you.
