* "Other health products" include non-homeopathic products (medical devices, dietary supplements, cosmetics, phytotherapy), which were presented under "specialties" until 2021.

The increase in sales recorded in the first and second quarters continued in the third quarter.

In France, the decline in sales of non-proprietary homeopathic medicines was offset by the increase in sales of homeopathic specialities.

Homeopathic specialities continued to grow in all regions, particularly thanks to the winter range.

Two new products were also launched this quarter:

  • Boiron immuno+, a dietary supplement designed to support the body's natural defences throughout $\bullet$ winter thanks to a synergy of zinc, elderberry and chokeberry.
  • Sinuphyl®, herbal medicine comprising five plants, developed to fight acute uncomplicated rhinosinusitis $\bullet$ in adults, in partnership with German laboratory BIONORICA.

Total sales were up 25.2%. Sales were up 16.4% in France and 35.1% abroad, with all countries and regions posting an increase across all products. It breaks down more or less evenly between existing homeopathic specialties and new products.

Outlook

Amid high inflation and pressure on certain energy and raw material supplies, we are doing everything we can to ensure our products remain available and to limit increases in prices.

We are also keeping a close eye on how the global health crisis evolves, and continue to take appropriate measures where necessary.

We expect to see a further decline in sales of non-proprietary homeopathic medicines in France in the fourth quarter. Sales of homeopathic specialties and other healthcare products are expected to continue to grow as winter illnesses return.

For the full year, we expect to see an increase in revenues in all of the Group's regions versus 2021, as well as a significant increase in profitability.

We continue to put all our energy and determination into ensuring that every patient in the world can take advantage of homeopathy and ours others healthcare solutions, thereby supporting a more humane, efficient and sustainable healthcare system.
