FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., October 23, 2002 -- Amgen (Nasdaq:AMGN)
announced today that adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2002 was
34 cents versus 30 cents for the third quarter of 2001, an increase of 13 percent.
Adjusted net income was $437 million in the third quarter of 2002 versus $330
million in the third quarter of 2001, a 32 percent increase.
Adjusted earnings per share and adjusted net income for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 exclude certain expenses related to the third quarter 2002
acquisition of Immunex and certain non-recurring items. These expenses and nonrecurring
items are itemized on the reconciliation tables below.
On a reported basis, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), Amgen reported a loss of $2.6 billion or $2.10 per
share for the third quarter of 2002. This loss was principally due to the one-time
write-off of in-process research and development of $3 billion related to the
acquisition of Immunex.
Total revenue increased 49 percent to $1.5 billion in the third quarter.

Product Sales Performance and Expenses
Total product sales in the quarter were $1.3 billion, an increase of 53 percent over
the same period last year benefiting from our acquisition and the launch of new
products. Total product sales are expected to grow in the high-30 percent range in
2002.
"The third quarter continues to demonstrate our ability to significantly grow revenue
through the contribution of our new products and strength in our core business," said
Kevin Sharer, Chairman and CEO. "We remain focused on ensuring the continued
success of our product launches, working toward increasing ENBREL® supply and
expanding our pipeline," Sharer said.
Combined sales of EPOGEN„¥ (Epoetin alfa), Amgen's anemia therapy for patients
on dialysis, and Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa), its next-generation anemia treatment,
for the third quarter increased 29 percent to $672 million from $520 million for the
third quarter of 2001. EPOGEN® sales were $558 million for the third quarter, an
increase of 8 percent over the same quarter last year. EPOGEN® sales growth
was principally driven by demand and wholesaler inventory with equal contribution.
Aranesp® sales for the third quarter were $114 million. The company believes
Aranesp® sales were primarily driven by demand and reflect the newly added
indication for oncology in the US. Amgen continues to expect combined sales of
EPOGEN® and Aranesp® to grow in the low 20 percent range over combined
2001 sales.
Combined sales of NEUPOGEN„¥ (Filgrastim), used to decrease the incidence of
infection during many types of cancer-related chemotherapy, and Neulasta
(pegfilgrastim), Amgen's recently introduced once-per-cycle product for decreasing
infections, increased 32 percent, to $474 million from $360 million for
NEUPOGEN® alone in the third quarter of 2001. NEUPOGEN® sales were $332
million for the third quarter of 2002. Neulasta™ sales were $142 million in the third
quarter. Amgen believes that sales growth for the Filgrastim franchise was driven by
demand. For the full year 2002, Amgen expects the combined
NEUPOGEN/Neulasta growth rate to be in the low to mid-30 percent range
versus the company's previous guidance of mid-20 percent growth.
ENBREL® (etanercept), Amgen's inflammation biologic, recorded third quarter
sales of $158 million, and reflect sales generated after the close of the acquisition
of Immunex on July 15, 2002. Amgen previously expected ENBREL® sales to
range between $350 and $400 million for the period of 2002 in which Amgen
owned the product and $800-$850 million for the full year 2002.

The company now expects sales to be at, or slightly below the low end of these
ranges due to continuing supply considerations. Amgen announced that the U.S.
Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has notified the Company of their intention to
inspect the new ENBREL® manufacturing and fill and finish facilities in November.
A successful inspection is expected to alleviate the current ENBREL® supply
constraints in first quarter of 2003.
Expenses on an adjusted basis were as follows:
Cost of sales increased to $201 million from $103 million during the third quarter
of 2001 primarily due to increased sales and the incremental cost of newly
acquired products. Cost of sales as a percent of sales has increased from 12%
in the third quarter of 2001 to 15% in the third quarter of 2002, which principally
reflects ENBREL®'s higher manufacturing costs and higher royalty expense.
„h In the third quarter R&D expense was $304 million and reflects the inclusion of
newly acquired products and product candidates, versus $217 million in the third
quarter of 2001.
„h SG&A expense was $377 million in the third quarter of 2002 reflecting the
inclusion of newly acquired products, the Wyeth profit share related to
ENBREL® and additional spending in support of new products, versus $222
million for the prior year.
For 2002, adjusted EPS is expected to grow at a mid-teens rate. Amgen
announced that it would provide financial guidance for 2003 at its Business Review
Meeting to be held on November 21, 2002
Pipeline Update
As announced previously, during the third quarter Amgen received regulatory
approval from the FDA for Aranesp® for the treatment of anemia associated with
chemotherapy in patients with nonmyeloid malignancies. Approvals were also
received from the European Commission to market both Neulasta™ for reducing
the risk of neutropenia and Aranesp® for the treatment of anemia, respectively, in
cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Aranesp® was also approved in Canada
for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic renal failure.

During the fourth quarter, new clinical developments will be presented at the
American College of Rheumatology meeting in New Orleans related to ENBREL®
and Kineret® (anakinra). Abstracts on ENBREL® would include 5-year safety and
efficacy data from rheumatoid arthritis patients, 4-year early RA
data and 3-year quality of life data. Kineret® data will include abstracts on the use
of Kineret® in pediatric RA patients and data on ability to inhibit bone and joint
destruction. A study of Kineret® used in combination with ENBREL® will also be
presented. In this single evaluation Kineret® treatment did not provide a statistically
significant benefit to patients who were also receiving ENBREL®. These data
reinforce our recommendation that Kineret® and ENBREL® not be used in
combination.
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks
and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the
Securities and Exchange Commission reports filed by Amgen, including our most
recent Form 10-Q. Amgen conducts research in the biotechnology/pharmaceutical
field where 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.
Furthermore, our testing, pricing, marketing and other operations are subject to
extensive regulation by domestic and foreign government regulatory authorities. 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. These government regulations and reimbursement
policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products.
In addition, 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.
Also, we may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the merger, including
synergies, cost savings, sales and growth opportunities. Furthermore, the limits on
our current supply ENBREL® constrain ENBREL® sales and our sources of supply
for ENBREL® are limited and dependent on third party manufacturers. Additionally,
the adjustments related to the merger are based on a preliminary allocation of the
purchase price and estimates of anticipated expenses, and the final determination
of such allocation and expenses may differ significantly.
