Operating Expense and Tax Rate Analysis, on an Adjusted Basis

    --  Cost of Sales margin decreased 0.8 points in the fourth quarter of 2013
        and 0.6 points for the full year.
    --  R&D expenses increased 27 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 19
        percent for the full year, primarily in support of our later-stage
        clinical programs, including evolocumab (AMG 145) and Kyprolis.
    --  Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased 3 percent in
        the fourth quarter of 2013 driven primarily by the end of the ENBREL
        profit share with Pfizer on Oct. 31, which reduced expenses $129 million
        compared with the fourth quarter of 2012, offset partially by the
        addition of Onyx. For the full year, SG&A expenses increased 4 percent,
        driven primarily by the U.S. healthcare reform federal excise fee and
        the addition of Onyx.

    --  Tax Rates for the fourth quarter and full year of 2013 reflect the
        favorable impacts of changes in the jurisdictional mix of income and
        expenses and the current year benefit from the federal R&D credit. The
        full year adjusted tax rate also benefited from the resolution of the
        Company's federal income tax audit for tax years 2007-2009 and the
        retroactive extension of the 2012 federal R&D credit in the first
        quarter of 2013.

2014 Guidance

For the full year 2014, the Company expects:

    --  Total revenues to be in the range of $19.2 billion to $19.6 billion and
        adjusted EPS to be in the range of $7.90 to $8.20. This includes an $800
        million incremental operating income contribution due to the end of the
        ENBREL profit share.
    --  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.

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, 2012, and in any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Amgen is providing this information as of the date of this news release and does 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. The Company's 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.

                   *Dilutive securities used to compute "Adjusted"
                   diluted EPS were computed assuming that we do
                   not expense stock options.


         (a)       For the three months and year ended December 31,
                   2013, the total pre-tax expense for employee
                   stock options was $8 million and $34 million,
                   respectively, compared with $13 million and $59
                   million for the corresponding periods of the
                   prior year.

         (b)       The adjustments related primarily to non-cash
                   amortization of developed product technology
                   rights acquired in business combinations,
                   including $176 million in 2013 related to Onyx.


         (c)       For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the
                   adjustments related primarily to charges
                   associated with the Onyx business combination,
                   which included the acceleration of Onyx unvested
                   equity compensation (Onyx equity compensation).
                   The three months and year ended December 31,
                   2013, also included adjustments related
                   primarily to non-cash amortization of
                   intangible assets acquired in prior year
                   business combinations. The adjustments in 2012
                   related primarily to non-cash amortization of
                   intangible assets as well as retention and
                   severance expenses.


         (d)       The adjustments in 2013 related primarily to the
                   Onyx equity compensation. Both 2013 and 2012
                   included non-cash amortization of intangible
                   assets acquired in prior year business
                   combinations as well as business combination
                   transaction costs.


         (e)       The adjustments in 2012 related primarily to the
                   write-off of a non-key intangible asset
                   acquired in a prior year business combination.


         (f)       The adjustments in 2013 and the three months
                   ended December 31, 2012, related primarily to
                   severance expenses. For the year ended December
                   31, 2012, the adjustments related primarily to
                   severance expenses and lease abandonment costs.


         (g)       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
                   months and year ended December 31, 2013, were
                   39.3% and 33.0%, respectively, compared with
                   25.9% and 30.5% for the corresponding periods of
                   the prior year.


         (h)       For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the
                   adjustments related primarily to certain prior
                   period items excluded from adjusted earnings.
                   For the year ended December 31, 2013, the
                   adjustments related to resolving certain non-
                   routine transfer-pricing and acquisition-
                   related issues with tax authorities as well as
                   the impact related to certain prior period items
                   excluded from adjusted earnings. The adjustments
                   in 2012 related to certain prior period items
                   excluded from adjusted earnings.


    Note:          The 2012 expenses related to amortization of
                   certain acquired intangible assets within
                   operating expenses have been reclassified to
                   conform to the current year presentation.
