Valby, Denmark, 05 January 2021 - H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) announced the publication of Adjusted Supplementary Information to the Annual Report 2019 as required by the Danish Business Authority (“Erhvervsstyrelsen”).

Lundbeck communicated on 27 November 2020, that the Danish Business Authority had required Lundbeck to conduct an impairment test of Rexulti product rights for 2017. The impairment test lead to a reversal of an impairment loss on Rexulti (brexpiprazole) of DKK 3,766 million, net of amortization as of 31 December 2017. This generates an increase in intangible assets for 2017 and subsequent amortizations.    

The 2018 and 2019 figures have been adjusted accordingly as set out in the Adjusted Supplementary Information to the Annual Report 2019. The Adjusted Supplementary Information to the Annual Report 2019 is prepared in order to fulfill the requirements set out in the decision from the Danish Business Authority dated 27 November 2020 issued to the Board of Directors’ of Lundbeck.  

Lundbeck has decided to disclose the rectified notes in full, presenting only the adjustment effects on the original notes. Notes not affected by the adjustment are not included in the Adjusted Supplementary Information to Annual Report 2019. Note numbers remain the same as in to the Annual Report 2019 for easy reference.

The Adjusted Supplementary Information to the Annual Report 2019 is to be seen in conjunction with the Annual Report 2019, which was approved by the Board of Directors and the registered Executive Management on 6 February 2020.

As described in the 27 November 2020 company release the intangible asset will be amortized over the next nine years, including 2020, with a yearly amount of around DKK 300 million recognized as part of Cost of Sales.
