Agreement with HIBio on felzartamab and MOR210:  Human Immunology Biosciences, Inc. (HIBio) signed an equity participation agreement and license agreements with MorphoSys to allow HIBio to develop and commercialize MorphoSys’ felzartamab, an anti-CD38 antibody, and MOR210, an anti-C5aR1 antibody across all indications worldwide, with the exception of Greater China for felzartamab and Greater China and South Korea for MOR210. As part of the agreements, MorphoSys will receive a 15% equity stake in HIBio, along with certain equity earn-in provisions and standard investment rights. On achievement of development, regulatory and commercial milestones, MorphoSys will be eligible to receive payments from HIBio of up to US$ 1 billion across both programs, in addition to tiered, single- to low double-digit royalties on net sales of felzartamab and MOR210. Upon signing, MorphoSys also received an upfront payment of US$ 15 million for MOR210. HIBio has full responsibility for future development and commercialization of felzartamab and MorphoSys will transfer the development candidate and the clinical studies over to HIBio in the next months. MorphoSys will be compensated for ongoing program expenses for felzartamab during this program transition period by HIBio. Significant Events After the End of the Second Quarter of 2022: On July 26, 2022, MorphoSys notified Royalty Pharma that it intends to draw US$ 300.0 million (€ 296.3 million) of the development funding bond. The proceeds are anticipated to be delivered to MorphoSys in September 2022 and will be used primarily to fund development activities.  Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2022 (IFRS): Revenues for the second quarter 2022 were € 59.4 million compared to € 38.2 million for the same period in 2021. The year-over-year growth in Monjuvi product sales was driven by higher demand. in € million*   Q2 2022   Q1 2022   Q2 2021   Q-Q Δ   Y-Y Δ                       Revenues    59.4    41.5    38.2    43 %    55 % Monjuvi product sales    21.7    16.6    14.9    31 %    46 % Royalties    22.0    19.0    13.7    16 %    61 % Licenses, milestones and other    15.7    5.8    9.6   > 100%    64 % * Differences due to rounding.                     Cost of Sales:  In the second quarter 2022, cost of sales were € 17.2 million compared to € 10.1 million for the comparable period in 2021. Research and Development (R&D) Expenses:  In the second quarter 2022, R&D expenses were € 60.9 million compared to € 40.5 million in the second quarter 2021. The increase in R&D expenses is primarily due to the first-time inclusion of Research and Development expenses from Constellation from July 2021 on and higher investment to support the advancement of clinical programs. Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses:  Selling expenses in the second quarter 2022 were € 24.0 million compared to € 28.5 million in the second quarter 2021. The decrease was driven by higher investments in 2021 made into the commercial organization, the first full year after the Monjuvi launch. General and administrative (G&A) expenses in the second quarter 2022 amounted to € 12.4 million compared to € 30.5 million in the second quarter 2021. The decrease was driven by the transaction costs for the Constellation acquisition and Royalty Pharma agreements executed in the second quarter 2021. Operating Loss:  Operating loss amounted to € 55.1 million in the second quarter 2022 (Q2 2021: operating loss of € 71.4 million).

Revenues include € 38.3 million from the recognition of Monjuvi product sales in the U.S.  Royalties in H1 2022 included € 1.4 million from the sale of Minjuvi outside of the U.S. by our partner Incyte and € 39.7 million from Tremfya® sales which is fully passed onto Royalty Pharma. in € million*   H1 2022   H1 2021   Y-Y Δ               Revenues    100.9    85.4    18 % Monjuvi product sales    38.3    27.8    38 % Royalties    41.0    25.4    61 % Licenses, milestones and other    21.5    32.3    (33) % * Differences due to rounding.             Cost of Sales:  For the first six months of 2022, cost of sales were € 25.1 million (H1 2021: € 15.2 million). The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher sales of Monjuvi in the U.S. and Minjuvi outside of the U.S. R&D Expenses: In the first six months of 2022, R&D expenses were € 126.0 million compared to € 73.8 million for the same period in 2021. The R&D expenses increased due to inclusion of expenses from Constellation and higher investments to support the advancement of clinical programs. SG&A Expenses: Selling expenses decreased in the first six months of 2022 to € 45.9 million compared to € 56.6 million for the same period in 2021.  The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by higher investments made in the commercial organization in 2021, the first full year after the Monjuvi launch. G&A expenses amounted to € 27.0 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to € 40.8 million for the same period in 2021. The year-over-year decrease was driven primarily by the transaction costs for the Constellation acquisition and Royalty Pharma agreements executed in the second quarter of 2021. Operating Loss:  Operating loss amounted to € 123.1 million in the first six months of 2022 (H1 2021: operating loss of € 101.0 million).

Gross Margin for Monjuvi U.S. Net Product Sales 75% to 80% 75% to 80% 100% of Monjuvi U.S. product cost of sales are recorded on MorphoSys’ income statement and related profit/loss is split 50/50 between MorphoSys and Incyte. R&D expenses € 275m to 300m € 300m to 325m Reduction in guidance range driven primarily by license agreement for felzartamab to HIBio executed on June 14, 2022. SG&A expenses € 150m to 165m € 155m to 170m 53% to 58% of mid-point of SG&A expenses represent Monjuvi U.S. selling costs of which 100% are recorded in MorphoSys’ income statement. Incyte reimburses MorphoSys for half of these selling expenses. *The Previous 2022 Financial Guidance was initially provided on January 7 and reiterated on March 16 and on May 4, 2022. Additional information related to 2022 Financial Guidance: Tremfya royalties will continue to be recorded as revenue without any cost of sales in MorphoSys’ income statement. These royalties, however, will not contribute any cash to MorphoSys as 100% of the royalties will be passed on to Royalty Pharma. MorphoSys anticipates receiving royalties for Minjuvi sales outside of the U.S. Guidance for these royalties is not being provided as MorphoSys does not receive any sales forecasts from its partner Incyte. MorphoSys does not anticipate any significant cash-accretive revenues from the achievement of milestones in 2022. Milestones for otilimab are passed on to Royalty Pharma. Milestones from all other programs remain with MorphoSys at 100%. MorphoSys anticipates sales of commercial and clinical supply of tafasitamab outside of the U.S. to its partner Incyte. Revenue from this supply is recorded in the “Licenses, milestones and other” category in MorphoSys’ income statement. These sales result in a zero gross profit/margin. As such, MorphoSys does not provide guidance for these sales. While R&D expense is anticipated to grow year-over-year due to investments in three pivotal studies, the growth is partially being offset by the consolidation of research/discovery activities. SG&A expense guidance range reflects savings from synergies following the acquisition of Constellation and streamlined commercialization efforts. Operational Outlook for 2022: MorphoSys anticipates the following key development milestones in 2022: First proof-of-concept data from the ongoing clinical phase 2 study of CPI-0209 in solid tumors and blood cancer; MorphoSys’ partner Roche expects a pivotal data readout of the GRADUATE 1 and GRADUATE 2 trials with gantenerumab in the second half of 2022. Roche initiated these phase 3 development programs for patients with Alzheimer’s disease in 2018; MorphoSys’ partner GSK expects a pivotal data readout of the phase 3 ContRAst program investigating otilimab for rheumatoid arthritis by the end of 2022.   MorphoSys Group Key Figures (IFRS, end of the second quarter: June 30, 2022) in € million   H1 2022   H1 2021   Δ   Q2 2022   Q2 2021   Δ Revenues    100.9    85.4    18 %    59.4    38.2    55 % Product Sales    38.3    27.8    38 %    21.7    14.9    46 % Royalties    41.0    25.4    61 %    22.0    13.7    61 % Licenses, milestones and other    21.5    32.3    (33) %    15.7    9.6    64 % Cost of Sales    (25.1)    (15.2)    65 %    (17.2)    (10.1)    70 % Gross Profit    75.8    70.2    8 %    42.2    28.1    50 % Total Operating Expenses    (198.8)    (171.2)    16 %    (97.3)    (99.5)    (2) % Research and Development    (126.0)    (73.8)    71 %    (60.9)    (40.5)    50 % Selling    (45.9)    (56.6)    (19) %    (24.0)    (28.5)    (16) % General and Administrative    (27.0)    (40.8)    (34) %    (12.4)    (30.5)    (59) % Operating Profit / (Loss)    (123.1)    (101.0)    22 %    (55.1)    (71.4)    (23) % Other Income    9.2    2.8   >100%    7.8    1.7   >100% Other Expenses    (15.5)    (3.4)   >100%    (11.8)    (1.4)   >100% Finance Income    16.7    116.3    (86) %    6.2    102.4    (94) % Finance Expenses    (248.0)    (36.8)   >100%    (185.1)    2.9   >(100)% Income from Reversals of Impairment Losses / (Impairment Losses) on Financial Assets    (1.0)    0.3   >(100)%    (1.0)    0.2   >(100)% Income Tax Benefit / (Expenses)    4.0    1.0   >100%    4.0    (13.5)   >(100)% Consolidated Net Profit / (Loss)    (357.6)    (20.7)   >100%    (235.0)    20.9   >(100)% Earnings per Share, Basic and Diluted    (10.47)    (0.63)   >100%    (6.88)    —    — Earnings per Share, Basic    —    —    —    —    0.64    — Earnings per Share, Diluted    —    —    —    —    0.61    — Cash and other financial assets (end of period)    754.3    976.9  *    (23) %    754.3    976.9  *    (23) % *Value as of December 31, 2021   MorphoSys will hold its conference call and webcast on August 4, 2022, to present the results of the second quarter and first half of 2022 and the outlook for 2022.
