Product Sales Performance


    --  Total product sales increased 8 percent for the second quarter of 2014
        versus the second quarter of 2013. The increase was mainly driven by
        ENBREL, Kyprolis, Prolia and XGEVA. Product sales in the second quarter
        of 2013 included a positive adjustment of $185 million to previous
        estimates for managed Medicaid rebates based on claims experience.
    --  Enbrel sales increased 7 percent year-over-year for the second quarter
        driven mainly by price. ENBREL continues to benefit from strong
        underlying demand and segment growth.
    --  Kyprolis sales for the second quarter of 2014 were $78 million. The
        year-over-year comparison is not relevant as Onyx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
        (Onyx) was acquired in Q4 of 2013.
    --  Prolia sales increased 40 percent year-over-year for the second quarter
        driven by higher unit demand from share growth.
    --  XGEVA sales increased 20 percent year-over-year for the second quarter
        driven by higher unit demand. XGEVA continues to capture share in a
        growing market despite competition from generic zoledronic acid.
    --  Combined Neulasta(® )(pegfilgrastim) and NEUPOGEN(®) (filgrastim)
        sales declined year-over-year by 1 percent for the second quarter.
        --  Global Neulasta sales increased 1 percent year-over-year for the
            second quarter driven by price offset partially by the prior year
            positive Medicaid rebate estimate adjustment.
        --  Global NEUPOGEN sales decreased 9 percent year-over-year for the
            second quarter due to the prior year positive Medicaid rebate
            adjustment.
        --  Underlying demand was slightly impacted by short- and long-acting
            competition in the U.S. and Europe, respectively.
    --  Aranesp(®) (darbepoetin alfa) sales decreased 1 percent year-over-year
        for the second quarter mainly due to the prior year positive Medicaid
        rebate estimate adjustment. Underlying demand continues to decrease
        slightly due to practice patterns in the U.S. and competitive pricing
        pressures in Europe.
    --  EPOGEN(®) (epoetin alfa) sales increased 2 percent year-over-year for
        the second quarter driven by price, offset partially by the prior year
        positive Medicaid rebate estimate adjustment. Unit demand continues to
        be relatively stable.
    --  Sensipar(®)/Mimpara(®) (cinacalcet) sales increased 15 percent
        year-over-year for the second quarter driven primarily by higher unit
        demand growth across all regions and price increases in the U.S.
    --  Vectibix(®) (panitumumab) increased 42 percent year-over-year for the
        second quarter driven by higher unit demand across all regions.
    --  Nplate(®) (romiplostim) increased 12 percent year-over-year for the
        second quarter driven mainly by higher unit demand and strong market
        growth across all regions.

Operating Expense and Tax Rate Analysis, on an Adjusted Basis



    --  Cost of Sales margin, excluding the impact of the Puerto Rico excise
        tax, was essentially flat year-over-year.
    --  Research & Development (R&D) expenses increased 4 percent in the second
        quarter of 2014 driven by the addition of Onyx programs offset partially
        by reduced expenses associated with marketed product support.
    --  Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 12 percent
        in the second quarter of 2014 driven primarily by the end of the ENBREL
        profit share, offset partially by the addition of Onyx.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Discussion



    --  The Company generated $2.1 billion of free cash flow in the second
        quarter of 2014 versus $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2013. The
        increase was driven primarily by higher revenues and improvements in
        working capital.
    --  The Company's second quarter 2014 dividend of $0.61 per share declared
        on July 25, 2014, will be paid on Sept. 5, 2014, to all stockholders of
        record as of the close of business on Aug. 14, 2014.

Reallocating Resources to Drive Growth


    --  The Company announced a restructuring plan today to invest in continuing
        innovation and the launch of its new pipeline molecules, while improving
        its cost structure. Initial efforts include streamlining the
        organization, reducing layers of management, increasing managerial spans
        of responsibility and beginning implementation of a revised geographic
        site plan.
    --  As a first step, the Company will reduce staff by 2,400-2,900, beginning
        later this year and continuing through 2015, predominantly in the U.S.
        This represents approximately 12 percent to 15 percent of Amgen's global
        workforce. The Company will also close its facilities in the states of
        Washington and Colorado.

"The talented staff members at these locations have made enormous contributions to advancing biotechnology over the years and the surrounding communities have been very supportive, so it is with great reluctance that we acknowledge the need to exit," continued Bradway. "At each site, we are actively engaging in discussions with third-parties about potential future use of the facilities."


    --  The Company will expand its presence in the biotechnology hubs of South
        San Francisco, Calif., and Cambridge, Mass., and retain its headquarters
        in Thousand Oaks, Calif, with a reduced number of staff consolidated
        into fewer of the existing buildings.
    --  Company-wide, these actions will result in an approximate 23 percent
        reduction in the Company's facilities footprint.
    --  These actions will result in pre-tax accounting charges in the range of
        $775-950 million, primarily incurred in 2014-2015. The combination of
        these efforts will reduce operating expenses by approximately $700
        million in 2016 compared to 2013, although most of the savings will be
        reinvested to support global launches of new products. The savings from
        these actions are reflected in the Company's 2014 guidance. 2015 savings
        are expected to be modest due to the timing of these actions during the
        calendar year.
    --  As a next step, the Company is evaluating additional efficiency
        initiatives, particularly in the area of shared services and other
        external expense categories to support its growth objectives.

    --  The Company plans to review these initiatives, together with an estimate
        of resulting cost savings, pipeline progress and commercial plans, and
        performance against its strategic priorities during a business review
        meeting in the fourth quarter.

2014 Guidance

For the full year 2014, the Company expects:


    --  Total Revenues to be in the range of $19.5 billion to $19.7 billion and
        adjusted EPS to be in the range of $8.20 to $8.40.
    --  Adjusted tax rate to be in the range of 15 percent to 16 percent.  This
        assumes the federal R&D credit will be extended for 2014 and also
        includes the impact of the foreign tax credit associated with the Puerto
        Rico excise tax.  The Puerto Rico excise tax credit reduces the adjusted
        rate by three to four percentage points.
    --  Capital expenditures to be approximately $800 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this news release, management has presented its operating results for the second quarters of 2014 and 2013 in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and on an adjusted (or non-GAAP) basis. In addition, management has presented its full year 2014 EPS and tax rate guidance in accordance with GAAP and on an adjusted (or non-GAAP) basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are computed by excluding certain items related to acquisitions, cost-savings initiatives and certain other items from the related GAAP financial measures. Management has also presented Free Cash Flow (FCF), which is a non-GAAP financial measure, for the second quarters of 2014 and 2013. FCF is computed by subtracting capital expenditures from operating cash flow, each as determined in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the news release.

The Company believes that its presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to and facilitates additional analysis by investors. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to enhance an investor's overall understanding of the financial performance and prospects for the future of the Company's core business activities by facilitating comparisons of results of core business operations among current, past and future periods. In addition, the Company believes that excluding the non-cash amortization of intangible assets, including developed product technology rights, acquired in business combinations treats those assets as if the Company had developed them internally in the past, and thus provides a supplemental measure of profitability in which the Company's acquired intellectual property is treated in a comparable manner to its internally developed intellectual property. The Company believes that FCF provides a further measure of the Company's liquidity.

The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures set forth in the news release in connection with its own budgeting and financial planning. The non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and others that can be found in our Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, and in any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Words such as "expect," "anticipate," "outlook," "could," "target," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate," "should," "may," "assume," or "continue," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward looking statements. Reference is made in particular to forward-looking statements regarding product sales, revenue, expenses, earnings per share, tax rates, clinical trial results, regulatory filings and actions, Company strategy, restructuring charges, staff reductions and facility closures/dispositions and trends. We are providing this information as of the date of this news release and do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this document as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Our results may be affected by our ability to successfully market both new and existing products domestically and internationally, clinical and regulatory developments (domestic or foreign) involving current and future products, sales growth of recently launched products, competition from other products (domestic or foreign), and difficulties or delays in manufacturing our products. In addition, sales of our products are affected by reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payors, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products. Furthermore, our research, testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. We or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. Further, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors. We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. Discovery or identification of new product candidates cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, some raw materials, medical devices and component parts for our products are supplied by sole third-party suppliers. Our efforts to integrate the operations of companies we have acquired may not be successful. Cost saving initiatives may result in us incurring impairment or other related charges on our assets. We may experience difficulties, delays or unexpected costs and not achieve anticipated cost savings from our recently announced restructuring plans. Our business performance could affect or limit the ability of our Board of Directors to declare a dividend or our ability to pay a dividend or repurchase our common stock.

    (d)              The 2014
                     adjustments
                     related

                     acquisition-
                     related

                     2013
                     adjustments
                     related to
                     various legal
                     proceedings.


    (e)              The tax effect
                     of the
                     adjustments
                     between our
                     GAAP and
                     Adjusted
                     results takes
                     into account
                     the tax
                     treatment and
                     related tax
                     rate(s) that
                     apply to each
                     adjustment in
                     the applicable
                     tax
                     jurisdiction(s).
                     Generally, this
                     results in a
                     tax impact at
                     the U.S.
                     marginal tax
                     rate for
                     certain
                     adjustments,
                     including the
                     majority of
                     amortization of
                     intangible
                     assets, whereas
                     the tax impact
                     of other
                     adjustments,
                     including stock
                     option expense,
                     depends on
                     whether the
                     amounts are
                     deductible in
                     the tax
                     jurisdictions
                     where the
                     expenses are
                     incurred or the
                     asset is
                     located and the
                     applicable tax
                     rate(s) in
                     those
                     jurisdictions.
                     Due to these
                     factors, the
                     effective tax
                     rates for the
                     adjustments to
                     our GAAP income
                     before income
                     taxes, for the
                     three and six
                     months ended
                     June 30, 2014
                     and 2013, were
                     35.5% and
                     30.6%,
                     respectively,
                     compared with
                     20.5% and 23.4%
                     for the
                     corresponding
                     periods of the
                     prior year.







    (f)              The adjustments
                     in 2014 related
                     to certain
                     prior period
                     items excluded
                     from adjusted
                     earnings. The
                     adjustments in
                     2013 related to
                     resolving
                     certain non-
                     routine
                     transfer-
                     pricing and
                     acquisition-

                     with tax
                     authorities.
