PARIS, FRANCE, 13 February 2025 - Ipsen (Euronext: IPN; ADR: IPSEY), a global specialty-care biopharmaceutical company, today presents its financial results for the full year 2024.

6 Dividend related to the current financial year to be paid the following year.

1 At constant exchange rates (CER), which exclude any foreign-exchange impact by recalculating the performance for the relevant period by applying the exchange rates used for the prior period.

2 Excluding any impact from potential late-stage (Phase III clinical development or later) external-innovation transactions. 3 Based on the average level of exchange rates in Jan 2024, a favorable effect on total sales of about 1% from currencies is expected.

4 Extract of consolidated results. The Company's auditors performed a limited review of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

5 Including an impairment loss of €279m (or €2,33 /share) related to Sohonos, reflecting lower revised sales following lower patient uptake.

7 Decided by the Ipsen S.A. Board of Directors and to be proposed at the annual shareholders' meeting on 21 May 2025.

"Ipsen delivered solid results and advanced its pipeline in 2024, laying a strong foundation for sustained growth," said David Loew, Chief Executive Officer, Ipsen. "With the successful global rollout of Iqirvo and Bylvay, and the U.S. launch of Onivyde, alongside multiple business development deals adding several innovative assets, we are well positioned to execute our strategic roadmap. This year, we look forward to achieving key milestones, including the first data readout for the Long-Acting Neurotoxin (LANT), and further expand and progress our pipeline across all three therapeutic areas to bring promising new medicines to patients."

Pipeline Progress

Significant regulatory milestones were achieved in 2024, including FDA approval of Onivyde® (irinotecan) for first-line pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), along with accelerated U.S. approval and European approval for Iqirvo® (elafibranor), respectively. Additionally, Kayfanda® (odevixibat) was approved for Alagille syndrome (ALGS) in the E.U.

The company also opted-in for the CABINET Phase III study of Cabometyx® (cabozantinib) in patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), with study results presented at the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

An IND application was filed for IPN01194, an ERK inhibitor, advancing the potential medicine into clinical development with a Phase I/IIa trial in advanced solid tumors.

Ipsen improved further the depth and breadth of its pipeline by adding five preclinical innovative therapies with global rights and new modalities, and an ex-U.S. licensing agreement with DayOne Biopharmaceuticals for the late-stage oncology asset tovorafenib, an oral RAF inhibitor for pediatric low-grade glioma.

Two global licensing agreements for Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) in oncology with Sutro Biopharma and Foreseen Biotechnology were signed. An extension of the oncology partnership with Marengo Therapeutics to include TriSTAR, a next-generation precision T-cell engager was completed, as well as more recently, in the fourth quarter, a global licensing agreement with Biomunex for a preclinical novel T-cell engager (TCE). A collaboration with Skyhawk Therapeutics to develop RNAmodulating small molecules for rare neurological diseases was also signed during the year.

Ipsen executed several divestments in 2024, including the sale of Increlex® (mecasermin injection) to Eton Pharmaceuticals and the sale of its rare pediatric disease Priority Review Voucher.

Environmental, Social and Governance

Ipsen took important steps in 2024 in delivering its ambitious sustainability strategy. The company continued to integrate sustainability across its operations. From reducing its environmental footprint to advancing patient access and fostering a strong workplace culture, the company increased its commitment to driving progress for patients, employees, communities, and the planet.

Our sustainability efforts were recognized across multiple environment initiatives. The company achieved a 45% reduction in Scopes 1 & 2 greenhouse gas emissions and a 25% reduction in Scope 3, fully in line with its 2030 targets (versus 2019 baseline). Significant efforts were made to engage suppliers and third parties in Ipsen's sustainability roadmap including the first-ever "Ipsen Supplier Sustainability Day". Following an intensive transformation project, 99.8% of Ipsen's global electricity now comes from renewable sources. Through the Fleet for Future project, the company continues to advance sustainable transportation, with 43% of its total company's fleet now electric vehicles as of 2024.

We remain committed to gender balance in leadership, with women now representing 55% of the Global Leadership Team.

2025 Upcoming Milestones

Ipsen anticipates several key milestones across its portfolio in 2025, including:

  • » Cabometyx (CABINET trial) Regulatory decision in Europe for advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), including pancreatic (pNETs) and extra-pancreatic (epNETs) neuroendocrine tumors
  • » Tovorafenib (FIREFLY-1 trial) Regulatory submission in Europe for pediatric low-grade glioma
  • » Fidrisertib (FALKON trial) Readout of the pivotal Phase IIb trial in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP)
  • » LANT88 (LANTIC trial) – Proof-of-concept data readout, evaluating its potential in aesthetics

These milestones reinforce Ipsen's commitment to advancing innovative therapies and expanding treatment options for patients worldwide.

2025 Financial Guidance

Ipsen has set for FY 2025 the following financial guidance, which excludes any impact from potential late-stage (Phase III clinical development or later) business development transactions:

  • » Total sales growth greater than 5.0%, at constant currency. Based on the average level of exchange rates in January 2025, a favorable effect on total sales of around 1% from currencies is expected.
  • » Core operating margin greater than 30.0% of total sales, which includes additional R&D expenses from anticipated early and mid-stage external-innovation opportunities.

Guidance on total sales and core operating margin is based on accelerated sales growth of the ex-Somatuline portfolio and assumes negative impact on Somatuline sales due to increased generic competition in the U.S. and Europe.

The Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements on 12 February 2025. The consolidated financial statements have been audited and the Statutory Auditors' report is in the process of being published.

Total sales by therapy area and medicine

  • » Somatuline: sales growth, reflecting the continued benefit of generic-lanreotide shortages in several countries in Europe, and a solid performance in Rest of World. In North America, limited sales decline, despite adverse U.S. pricing, due to solid demand in the fourth quarter resulting from generic-lanreotide shortages
  • » Decapeptyl: performance mainly impacted by increased competition and pricing pressure in Europe and in China
  • » Cabometyx: growth supported by increased volumes in the first-line combination with nivolumab and second-line monotherapy renal cell carcinoma indications across all geographies
  • » Onivyde: accelerated growth in the U.S., driven by the recent launch in the first-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) indication and from higher sales to Ipsen's ex-U.S.

9 At CER, which excludes any foreign-exchange impact by recalculating the performance for the relevant period by applying the exchange rates used for the prior period.

partner

  • » Tazverik: growth driven by higher demand in the follicular lymphoma and epithelioid sarcoma indications
  • » Dysport: good performance, driven by continued growth in most aesthetics markets as well as in therapeutics markets in North America and Latin America. Dysport sales in aesthetics markets impacted in the fourth quarter by adverse shipment-phasing in Middle East and North America despite continuous strong demand growth across geographies
  • » Bylvay11: growth driven by increased global sales in the progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) and in Alagille syndrome indication in the U.S.
  • » Sohonos: growing sales mainly in the U.S.
  • » Iqirvo: accelerated sales growth in the fourth quarter following U.S. FDA approval in June 2024

North America: sales growth driven by accelerated sales of Onivyde, increased contribution from the new medicines (including Bylvay, Sohonos, and Iqirvo), solid performance of Dysport in therapeutics and aesthetics markets, and limited sales erosion of Somatuline, mainly benefiting from the impact of generic-lanreotide shortages in the fourth quarter

Europe13: solid performances of Cabometyx, increasing contribution from Bylvay and growth of Somatuline benefiting from generic-lanreotide shortages, offset by lower sales of Decapeptyl reflecting increased competition and pricing pressure

Rest of World: sales driven by strong performance of Cabometyx, growth of Somatuline, Decapeptyl and Dysport in therapeutics markets

Total sales

Total sales grew by 9.9% at CER15 to €3,400.6m or 8.7% as reported, which included an adverse impact from currencies of 1.2%.

Other revenues

Other revenues totaled €173.9m, a decrease of 2.8%, mainly due to an upfront milestone received in 2023 for the grant of licence rights to Ipsen's ex-U.S. partner in respect of Onivyde, in the first-line pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma indication, partly offset by the growth in royalties received from partners, primarily for Dysport.

Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold of €618.7m represented 18.2% of total sales, in line with previous year (2023: €571.2m, or 18.3%).

Selling expenses

Selling expenses of €957.2m represented an increase of 4.4%, driven by commercial efforts deployed to support launches, partly offset by the impact of the efficiency program. Selling expenses amounted to 28.1% of total sales, a decrease of 1.2 percentage points (2023: €917.1m, or 29.3%).

14 Earnings per share.

15 At CER, which excludes any foreign-exchange impact by recalculating the performance for the relevant period by applying the exchange rates used for the prior period.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses totaled €686.6m, representing a growth of 10.9%, driven by increased investment in Iqirvo in primary biliary cholangitis, Fidrisertib in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, in Dysport for the migraine indication, in next-generation neurotoxins, and in early-stage assets including the contribution of additional licensing agreements completed in 2024. Research and development expenses represented 20.2% of total sales, an increase of 0.4 percentage points (2023: 19.8%).

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by 0.7% to €216.3m, reflecting synergies from the integration of Albireo and Epizyme. The ratio to total sales decreased from 7.0% in 2023 to 6.4% in 2024.

Other core operating income and expenses

Other core operating income and expenses amounted to an income of €13.6m (2023: €19.9m income), primarily reflecting the impact of the Group currency-hedging policy.

Core net financing costs and other financial income and expense

Ipsen incurred net financial expenses of €43.7m, versus €51.2m in 2023.

Net financing costs decreased by €10.8m driven by the reimbursement of the bonds in June 2023 and higher investment income on available cash.

Other financial expenses increased by €3.2m, mainly from adverse foreign-exchange impacts on non-commercial transactions.

Core income taxes

Core income tax expense of €207.9m reflected higher profit before tax, with a core effective tax rate of 19.5% in line with last year (FY 2023: 19.4%).

Amortization of intangible assets (excluding software)

Amortization of intangible assets (excluding software) amounted to €273.4m before tax (FY 2023: €207.5m). The variation is mainly related to the full year amortization of intangibles assets for Sohonos, Bylvay and Irqirvo as well as additional Cabometyx intangible assets.

Other operating income and expenses

Other non-core operating expenses of €44.2m before tax mainly related to Group transformation programs including write-off of intangible software assets related to a technology platform program, partly offset by the gain of the disposal of a Priority Review Voucher.

Other non-core operating expenses in 2023 totaled €203.2m before tax, mainly related to the costs from Albireo and Epizyme transactions, Group transformation programs, the discontinuation of clinical trials and the change in Onivyde earnout accounting.

Restructuring costs

Restructuring costs amounted to €14.1m before tax, mainly related to transformation programs. Restructuring costs in 2023 amounted to €27.7m before tax, primarily driven by Albireo-integration costs.

Impairment losses

The Group recognized a loss of €280.9m before tax mainly related to Sohonos reflecting lower revised sales in North America and other countries following a lower patient uptake.

In 2023, Ipsen recognized a reversal gain of €280.3m before tax related to Sohonos following the U.S. FDA's approval in August 2023, partially offset by a loss of €26.8m following a termination of an internal device project.

Others

Financial income and expenses and income taxes amounted to an income of €44.7m mainly due to the unwinding impact of the contingent liabilities and income taxes on intangible asset gain on disposal (2023: €4.1m).

Net loss from discontinued operations of €10.0m related to the Consumer Healthcare divestiture (FY 2023: €27.3m net profit).

IFRS financial measures

Operating income

Operating profit amounted to €496.7m, a decrease of 39.1% (FY 2023: €816.0m), mainly due to the impairment of Sohonos.

Consolidated net profit

Consolidated net profit in 2024 was €347.3m, a decrease of 46.3% (FY 2023: €647.2m).

EPS17

Fully diluted EPS amounted to €4.15 (FY 2023: €7.73).

Operating cash flow

Operating cash flow totaled €1,042.2m, a decrease of €10.1m, or 1.0%, driven by higher operating working capital (negative impact of €105.5m mainly from higher trade payables and lower increase in trade receivables) and higher capital expenditures (an increase of €62.1m mainly from new leases), despite higher EBITDA (an increase of €110.5m).

Free cash flow

Free cash flow amounted to €774.4m, an increase of 8.9% (FY 2023: €710.9m), reflecting lower other non-core expenses and restructuring costs (a decrease of €61.6m mainly driven by Albireo's integration in FY 2023) and lower tax paid (€42.5m including the reimbursement of 2023 tax prepayments in France), partly offset by higher financial costs and lower operating cash flow.

Shareholders' return and external growth operations

The distribution payout to Ipsen S.A. shareholders amounted to €99.6m, corresponding to a flat dividend of €1.20 per share (FY 2023: €99.6m).

Net investments of €541.7m were mainly related to the new business development programs for a total of €325.2m, regulatory and commercial milestones for €389.9m (paid to Merrimack, Exelixis and Genfit for respectively Onivyde, Cabometyx and Iqirvo), partly offset by the proceeds received from the disposal of a priority review voucher and Increlex for a cumulated €173.3m.

Net investments in FY 2023 amounted to €933.4m including the acquisition of Albireo for €932.5m.

Analysis of Group cash

On 24 May 2019, Ipsen S.A. signed an initial five-year Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) of €1,500m, which was extended twice, to May 2026.

On 23 July 2019, Ipsen S.A. also issued \$300m through a U.S. Private Placement (USPP) in two tranches of 7 and 10‑year maturities.

Ipsen must comply with a net debt / EBITDA covenant to remain below 3.5 times at each financial closing in both the RCF and the USPP. Ipsen complied with its covenant ratio for the RCF and the USPP.

The RCF also includes specific indicators linked to Corporate Social Responsibility, assessed annually.

On 31 December 2024, the RCF was fully undrawn and Ipsen S.A. program of emission of NEU CP – Negotiable EUropean Commercial Paper of €600m, was drawn for €80m.

18 Financial liabilities mainly exclude €18.0m in derivative instruments related to commercial operations at the end of December 2024, compared with €1.4m one year earlier.

19 Net cash / (debt): including derivative instruments booked in financial assets and related to financial operations, cash and cash equivalents, less bank overdrafts, bank loans and other financial liabilities and excluding financial derivative instruments on commercial operations.

Disclaimers and/or forward-looking statements

The forward-looking statements, objectives and targets contained herein are based on Ipsen's management strategy, current views and assumptions. Such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those anticipated herein. All of the above risks could affect Ipsen's future ability to achieve its financial targets, which were set assuming reasonable macroeconomic conditions based on the information available today. Use of the words 'believes', 'anticipates' and 'expects' and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, including Ipsen's expectations regarding future events, including regulatory filings and determinations. Moreover, the targets described in this document were prepared without taking into account external-growth assumptions and potential future acquisitions, which may alter these parameters. These objectives are based on data and assumptions regarded as reasonable by Ipsen. These targets depend on conditions or facts likely to happen in the future, and not exclusively on historical data. Actual results may depart significantly from these targets given the occurrence of certain risks and uncertainties, notably the fact that a promising medicine in early development phase or clinical trial may end up never being launched on the market or reaching its commercial targets, notably for regulatory or competition reasons. Ipsen must face or might face competition from generic medicine that might translate into a loss of market share. Furthermore, the research and development process involves several stages each of which involves the substantial risk that Ipsen may fail to achieve its objectives and be forced to abandon its efforts with regards to a medicine in which it has invested significant sums. Therefore, Ipsen cannot be certain that favorable results obtained during preclinical trials will be confirmed subsequently during clinical trials, or that the results of clinical trials will be sufficient to demonstrate the safe and effective nature of the medicine concerned. There can be no guarantees a medicine will receive the necessary regulatory approvals or that the medicine will prove to be commercially successful. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Other risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to, general industry conditions and competition; general economic factors, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of pharmaceutical industry regulation and healthcare legislation; global trends toward healthcare cost containment; technological advances, new medicine and patents attained by competitors; challenges inherent in new-medicine development, including obtaining regulatory approval; Ipsen's ability to accurately predict future market conditions; manufacturing difficulties or delays; financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk; dependence on the effectiveness of Ipsen's patents and other protections for innovative medicines; and the exposure to litigation, including patent litigation, and/or regulatory actions. Ipsen also depends on third parties to develop and market some of its medicines which could potentially generate substantial royalties; these partners could behave in such ways which could cause damage to Ipsen's activities and financial results. Ipsen cannot be certain that its partners will fulfil their obligations. It might be unable to obtain any benefit from those agreements. A default by any of Ipsen's partners could generate lower revenues than expected. Such situations could have a negative impact on Ipsen's business, financial position or performance. Ipsen expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements, targets or estimates contained in this press release to reflect any change in events, conditions, assumptions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, unless so required by applicable law. Ipsen's business is subject to the risk factors outlined in its registration documents filed with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers. The risks and uncertainties set out are not exhaustive and the reader is advised to refer to Ipsen's latest Universal Registration Document, available on ipsen.com.
