  • Q1 2024 results show a very strong start to the year, with Net Revenue at € 607.8 million, +10.2% vs PY or +10.9% like-for-like1 at CER (+6.3% ex Türkiye); adverse FX impact in Q1 2024 of € 31.2 million (-5.7%), mostly from Turkish lira, offset by price inflation:
    • o SPC at € 395.5 million, +9.3% vs PY or +10.1% like-for-like1 at CER (+2.7% ex Türkiye) vs strong Q1 2023; growth driven by Urology franchise (including € 27.5 million contribution from Avodart® and Combodart® / Duodart®2 ) and strong start of sales in Türkiye and to international distributors, with phasing patterns similar to Q1 2023
    • o RRD at € 197.5 million, +13.1% vs PY or +13.9% at CER; Endo +33.8% with continued patient uptake & positive pricing in US, Onco +22.1% driven by Qarziba® and Sylvant® volume expansion; Metabolic -9.0% mainly due to GX pressure
  • EBITDA3 of € 244.0 million or 40.2% margin, reflecting strong revenue and operating leverage
  • Adjusted Net Income4 of € 163.7 million, +5.6% vs PY, higher operating profit absorbing an increase of financial expenses (including € 2.7 million of unrealized FX losses) and higher tax rate
  • Free Cash Flow5 of € 147.1 million (+€ 43.7 million vs PY) and strong EBITDA bring leverage to 1.75x EBITDA pro-forma6
  • Good progress on key R&D pipeline projects: osilodrostat (Isturisa®) sNDA submission for Cushing's syndrome label extension in the US planned for Q3 2024; NDA for Signifor® LAR submitted in China
