- » Multiple early-stage external-innovation transactions across Oncology and Neuroscience
Financial highlights
- » Total-sales growth of 9.5% at CER1 , or 8.0% as reported, driven by the performances of Cabometyx® (cabozantinib) and Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA), as well as contributions from Bylvay® (odevixibat) and Onivyde
- » Core operating margin of 32.4%, a decline of 1.6% points, driven mainly by enhanced R&D investment. An unchanged IFRS operating margin of 19.2%
- » Upgraded 2024 financial guidance: total-sales growth greater than 7.0% at CER1 (prior guidance: greater than 6.0% at CER1 ); core operating margin greater than 30.0% of total sales (prior guidance: around 30%)
"Our strategic progress was illustrated by strong results in the first half, and we are well placed to deliver continued attractive growth over the medium term", commented David Loew, Chief Executive Officer, Ipsen. "Across Oncology, Rare Disease and Neuroscience, we now have a comprehensive portfolio of medicines, with additional launches in key indications this year. Onivyde and Iqirvo are now being rolled out and we are confident in our ability to deliver on their potential. I was also delighted by a further expansion of our pipeline, including the recent in-licensing of the late-stage asset,tovorafenib, in pediatric Oncology.
"Over the remainder of the year, we will remain sharply focused on the launches and commercial execution, as well as further opportunities to expand the pipeline.

Full-year 2024 guidance
We have upgraded our financial guidance for 2024:
- » Total-sales growth greater than 7.0%, at constant currency (prior guidance: greater than 6.0% at constant currency). Based on the average level of exchange rates in June 2024, an adverse impact on total sales of around 1% from currencies is expected
- » Core operating margin greater than 30.0% of total sales (prior guidance: around 30%)
Pipeline update since Q1 2024
In June 2024, we received an accelerated approval from the U.S. FDA for Iqirvo 80 mg tablets for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis, in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), in adults who have an inadequate response to UDCA, or as monotherapy in patients unable to tolerate UDCA. Iqirvo was, shortly thereafter, available for prescription and delivery. A decision in the E.U. is anticipated later this year.
In June 2024, we announced the expansion of our collaboration and license agreement with Exelixis, Inc. for the development of Cabometyx® (cabozantinib) in advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and advanced extra-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. This expansion is based on positive outcomes from the CABINET Phase III trial.
In June 2024, we announced an extension of our ongoing oncology research partnership with Marengo Therapeutics, Inc., to include TriSTAR, Marengo's next-generation, precision T-cell engager technology.

- » Somatuline: limited sales erosion, benefiting from generic-lanreotide shortages in several countries in Europe in the first half of the year, and a solid performance in Rest of World.

- » Tazverik: growth in the U.S. driven by higher demand in the follicular-lymphoma monotherapy indication
- » Dysport: strong performance driven by continued growth in therapeutics and aesthetics markets, mainly in North America and Rest of World. Limited Q2 2024 growth in aesthetics, impacted by adverse phasing, mainly in Europe
- » Bylvay: sales consolidated only for four months in H1 2023, following the completion of the acquisition of Albireo in March 2023. Growth driven by increased global sales in the PFIC6 indication and in the Alagille syndrome indication in the U.S.
- » Sohonos: sales mainly in the U.S., following the launch in the fourth quarter of 2023
- » Iqirvo: first sales following U.S. FDA approval in June 2024

Total sales
Total sales grew by 9.5% at CER10 to €1,659.3m, or 8.0% as reported, which included an adverse impact from currencies of 1.5%.
Other revenue
Other revenue totaled €92.5m, an increase of 6.9%, mainly due to the growth in royalties received from partners, primarily for Dysport, partly offset by lower upfront fees received 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.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold of €316.7m represented 19.1% of total sales, an increase of 1.5 percentage points (H1 2023: €269.9m, or 17.6%), mainly reflecting an increase of royalties paid to Ipsen's partner and an unfavorable mix impact.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses of €467.3m represented an increase of 5.2%, driven by the commercial efforts deployed to support launches, partly offset by the impact of the efficiency program. Selling expenses amounted to 28.2% of total sales, a decline of 0.7 percentage points (H1 2023: €444.3m, or 28.9%).
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses totaled €323.4m, representing growth of 11.4%, primarily driven by increased investment in Iqirvo in primary biliary cholangitis, in Dysport for the potential migraine indication, and in next-generation neurotoxins. Research and development expenses represented 19.5% of total sales, an increase of 0.6 percentage points (H1 2023: €290.2m, or 18.9%).
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses declined by 1.0% to €107.3m (H1 2023: €108.4m), reflecting synergies from the integrations of Albireo and Epizyme.
Other core operating income and expenses
Other core operating income and expenses amounted to an income of €1.0m (H1 2023: €12.7m income), primarily reflecting the impact of Ipsen's currency-hedging policy.
Core operating income
Core operating income amounted to €538.0m, representing an increase of 2.8%, with a core operating margin at 32.4% of total sales, a decline of 1.6 percentage points, including the impact of the increased investments in R&D.
10 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.

Core net financing costs and other financial income and expense
Ipsen incurred net financial expenses of €30.1m (H1 2023: €29.1m). Net financing costs decreased by €6.7m to €5.3m, driven by the full reimbursement of bonds in June 2023 and higher interest income on available cash. Other financial expenses increased by €7.7m to €24.8m, mainly impacted by adverse foreign-exchange impacts on non-commercial transactions.
Core income tax
Core income tax expense of €108.6m reflected higher income before tax, with a core effective tax rate of 21.4% (H1 2023: 20.4%).
Core consolidated net profit
Core consolidated net profit increased by 1.6% to €399.4m (H1 2023: €393.0m).
Core EPS11
Fully diluted core EPS came to €4.78, a growth in line with core consolidated net profit.

11 Earnings per share.

Amortization of intangible assets (excluding software)

Operating cash flow
Operating cash flow totaled €493.0m, a decrease of €42.5m (-7.9%), driven by an unfavorable operating working-capital requirement change (€44.5m, mainly from an increase in trade receivables in H1 2024) and higher capital expenditure, partly offset by increased EBITDA.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow amounted to €393.5m, an increase of 5.9% (H1 2023: €371.5m), reflecting the decline in other non-core expenses and restructuring costs (mainly driven by Albireo's integration in H1 2023), lower tax paid (including the reimbursement of a 2023 tax prepayment in France in 2024), partly offset by lower operating cash flow.
Shareholders' return and external growth operations
The distribution payout to Ipsen S.A. shareholders H1 2024 amounted to €99.8m, corresponding to a stable dividend per share of €1.20 (H1 2023: €99.6m).
Net investments of €337.5m were mainly related to the acquisition of early-stage programs. Net investments in H1 2023 amounted to €945.9m, including the acquisition of Albireo for €932.9m.
Foreign exchange on net indebtedness adversely impacted net debt, mainly due to a higher U.S. dollar versus the euro.

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; possible failure of products launches; and the exposure to litigation, including patent litigation, and/or regulatory actions; and risks of tax adjustments given the regular audits from tax authorities considering Ipsen's M&A activities and its presence in multiple geographies. 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.
