Grünenthal announces pricing of bond extension

Aachen, Germany, 14 November 2025 – Grünenthal, a science-based pharmaceutical company and a leader in pain management, today announced the extension of its existing issue of Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the “Existing Notes”) by €175 million (the “Additional Notes”) to a total sum of €675 million. The Additional Notes are expected to be issued and settled on 26 November 2025 (the “Issue Date”).

The extension was made with the same interest rate of 4.625%, and maturity in 2031, as the Existing Notes. The Issuer’s outstanding Senior Secured Notes due 2028 and Senior Secured Notes due 2030 remain unchanged.

The Additional Notes were offered outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S (“Regulation S”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Additional Notes will be issued with a temporary international securities identification number (“ISIN”) (Temporary ISIN: XS3227188375) that will differ from the ISIN of the Existing Notes during the 40-day period prescribed by Regulation S, commencing on the Issue Date (the “Distribution Compliance Period”). Following the Distribution Compliance Period, the Additional Notes will become fully fungible with, and have the same ISIN as, the Existing Notes issued pursuant to Regulation S (Permanent ISIN: XS2951378434).

The net proceeds of the extension will be used to pay down existing bank liabilities and for general corporate purposes, which may include the funding of add-on acquisitions, payments under existing joint venture arrangements or similar cash outflows. As a result of this transaction, our new debt maturity profile and enhanced capital structure provide Grünenthal with a solid basis to further pursue our growth strategy.

Grünenthal will be announcing its financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 on Friday, November 28, 2025.  Furthermore, in connection with this pricing announcement, we are also pre-announcing summary Q3 results that are in line with expectations as follows: we expect to report Q3 revenues of €1,351m and Adjusted EBITDA of €404m.

This announcement is not an offer for sale of securities. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Additional Notes or any other security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in the United States or in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Additional Notes and the related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and may not be offered or sold within the United States, or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state or local securities laws. The Additional Notes and the related guarantees were sold in a private placement exempt from the registration requirement of the Securities Act and have accordingly been sold in “offshore transactions” to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Immunic, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

– Key Data Highlighting Vidofludimus Calcium’s Therapeutic Potential in Multiple Sclerosis Presented at 41st Congress of ECTRIMS

– Phase 2 CALLIPER Data Demonstrated Statistically Significant 24-Week Confirmed Disability Improvement in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, With Consistent Signals for Slowing Disability Progression Across Subgroups and Endpoints, Supporting Vidofludimus Calcium’s Neuroprotective Potential and Nurr1 Activation Mechanism –

– Long-Term Phase 2 EMPhASIS Data in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Showed High Rates of Patients Remaining Free of Confirmed Disability Worsening and Favorable Long-Term Safety and Tolerability –

Top-Line Data from Twin Phase 3 ENSURE Trials of Vidofludimus Calcium in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis Expected by Year-End 2026  

NEW YORK, November 13, 2025 – Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX), a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic and gastrointestinal diseases, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and provided a corporate update.

“The third quarter was marked by our strong presence at the 41st Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS), during which we had the opportunity to highlight the clinical momentum of our lead asset, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), an orally available nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activator, and its potential to transform the oral multiple sclerosis (MS) therapy landscape,” stated Daniel Vitt, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Immunic. “The collective data meanwhile available from across our clinical MS trials, including the phase 2 CALLIPER and EMPhASIS trials, highlight vidofludimus calcium’s unique promise to slow disability progression in both relapsing and progressive forms of the disease. Notably, new data from our positive phase 2 CALLIPER trial in progressive MS (PMS), also featured in the Best of ECTRIMS 2025 slide deck, showed statistically significant 24-week confirmed disability improvement in the overall patient population and consistent effects across both the primary progressive MS (PPMS) and non-active secondary progressive MS (naSPMS) subgroups, further reinforcing the compound’s neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory characteristics.”

“We believe the CALLIPER data clearly support advancing vidofludimus calcium into phase 3 development in progressive forms of MS. With only one approved therapy currently available for PPMS, there is a significant opportunity in this underserved, multi-billion-dollar market. By slowing disease progression, vidofludimus calcium could help patients maintain independence, manage symptoms more effectively, and achieve improved long-term outcomes.”

Dr. Vitt continued, “Notably, we also presented additional long-term data from the open-label extension (OLE) period of our phase 2 EMPhASIS trial in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) at ECTRIMS, which further highlighted the robust efficacy signals and favorable safety and tolerability observed, to date. Our twin phase 3 ENSURE trials in relapsing MS (RMS) remain on track. Given vidofludimus calcium’s unique profile and its potential to become the oral therapy of choice addressing the full spectrum of MS, we look forward to reporting top-line data by the end of 2026.”

“We also successfully continued our efforts to meaningfully enhance our strong and multi-layered intellectual property position for vidofludimus calcium. During the quarter, we received a Notice of Allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for a key patent covering dose strengths of vidofludimus calcium for the treatment of PMS. This newly allowed patent adds another layer of potential exclusivity protection in the United States, with the option for further term extension.”

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

September 2025: Presented key data at the 41st Congress of ECTRIMS, highlighting vidofludimus calcium’s therapeutic potential in MS, in one oral and four poster presentations, including one late-breaking poster. The results from the phase 2 CALLIPER trial in PMS were also selected for the Best of ECTRIMS 2025 slide deck.

The CALLIPER data underscored vidofludimus calcium’s neuroprotective potential across PMS populations and its ability to slow disease progression in patients with or without focal inflammation. Consistent 24-week confirmed disability worsening (24wCDW) outcomes were observed across disability endpoints, patient populations and subgroups (including the overall population and in PPMS and naSPMS), and those without baseline inflammatory gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) lesions during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Newly available data regarding 24-week confirmed disability improvement (24wCDI) demonstrated a greater than two-fold probability for vidofludimus calcium over placebo, statistically significant in the overall PMS population, with consistent trends across subtypes. These findings support clinically measurable neuroprotective effects consistent with vidofludimus calcium’s Nurr1 activation mechanism and de-risk a potential phase 3 program, as 24wCDW is an accepted regulatory endpoint to demonstrate clinical benefit in PMS.

Long-term data from the phase 2 EMPhASIS OLE period reinforced vidofludimus calcium’s robust efficacy signals and favorable safety and tolerability profile, demonstrating that it was well-tolerated for treatment durations of up to 5.5 years in patients with RRMS. Among 182 patients remaining on therapy as of January 14, 2025, cumulative exposure totaled ~952 treatment years with an annualized discontinuation rate of only ~6.4%. Most adverse events were mild, with low rates of renal and liver-related events, and no new safety signals observed. Serious adverse events were infrequent, and none were deemed related to treatment.

September 2025: Received a Notice of Allowance from the USPTO for patent application 18/529,946, entitled, “Treatment of multiple sclerosis comprising DHODH inhibitors.” The resulting patent covers dose strengths associated with vidofludimus calcium and other salt forms as well as free acid forms, at a daily dose of about 10 mg to 45 mg, for the treatment of PMS, including the sub-groups PPMS and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). The patent is expected to provide protection into 2041, and potential Patent Term Extension may offer additional market exclusivity in the United States.

Anticipated Clinical Milestones

Vidofludimus calcium in MS: Top-line data from the twin phase 3 ENSURE-1 and ENSURE-2 trials in RMS is expected by the end of 2026.
IMU-856: The company is preparing for further clinical testing of IMU-856, the orally available and systemically acting small molecule modulator that targets Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), contingent on financing, licensing or partnering.

Financial and Operating Results

Research and Development (R&D) Expenses were $20.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $1.4 million decrease reflects (i) a $1.3 million decrease in external development costs related to IMU-856, (ii) a $1.1 million decrease in external development costs related to the completion of the phase 2 CALLIPER trial in the prior year and (iii) a $0.2 million decrease related to costs across numerous categories. The decrease was offset by a $1.2 million increase in personnel expenses for R&D, of which $0.8 million were related to non-cash shared-based compensation.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, R&D expenses were $63.0 million, as compared to $58.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The $4.5 million increase reflects (i) a $6.2 million increase in external development costs related to the phase 3 ENSURE trials and (ii) a $1.6 million increase in personnel expenses for R&D, of which $0.4 million was related to non-cash stock compensation. The increase was offset by (i) a $2.7 million decrease in external development costs related to IMU-856 primarily due to the timing of the purchase of drug supply for this program and (ii) a $0.6 million decrease across numerous categories.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses were $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $4.4 million for the same period ended September 30, 2024. The $1.6 million increase was due to (i) a $1.2 million increase in personnel expenses, of which $1.0 million is related to non-cash share-based compensation and (ii) a $0.4 million increase related to costs across numerous categories.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, G&A expenses were $17.0 million, as compared to $14.0 million for the same period ended September 30, 2024. The $3.0 million increase was due to (i) a $1.8 million increase related to personnel expenses, of which $0.8 million was related to non-cash stock compensation, (ii) a $0.6 million increase in legal and consultancy expenses and (iii) a $0.6 million increase related to costs across numerous categories.

Interest Income was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The $0.4 million decrease was primarily due to a lower average cash balance.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, interest income was $0.8 million, as compared to $3.0 million for the same period ended September 30, 2024. The $2.1 million decrease was due to a lower average cash balance.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was a non-cash charge related to the change in value of the tranche rights associated with the January 2024 Financing from January 8, 2024 until March 4, 2024. These tranches were initially classified as a liability, but were reclassified to equity on March 4, 2024, when stockholders approved the increase in the authorized shares from 130 million to 500 million shares of common stock and therefore the tranche 2 and tranche 3 rights needed to be revalued to fair value upon the reclassification to equity. There was no change in fair value of the tranche rights recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Other Income (Expense) was negligible for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $0.6 million for the same period ended September 30, 2024. The $0.6 million decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in research and development tax incentives for clinical trials in Australia due to lower clinical trial spend in Australia.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Other Income (Expense) was $1.2 million, as compared to ($1.1 million) for the same period ending September 30, 2024. The $2.3 million increase was primarily attributable to (i) a $1.7 million expense related to the portion of deal costs from the January 2024 Financing related to the tranche rights that were established at the time of the deal closing in 2024, (ii) $1.0 million of grant income from the German Federal Ministry of Finance recognized in the first quarter 2025 and (iii) a $0.3 million increase across numerous categories. The increase was offset by a $0.7 million decrease in research and development tax incentives for clinical trials in Australia due to lower clinical trial spend in Australia.

Net Loss for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was approximately $25.6 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, based on 193,897,764 weighted average common shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of approximately $24.4 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share, based on 101,272,580 weighted average common shares outstanding for the same period ended September 30, 2024.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was approximately $77.9 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, based on 142,811,489 weighted average common shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of approximately $75.3 million or $0.75 per basic and diluted share, based on 99,998,245 weighted average common shares outstanding for the same period ended September 30, 2024.

Cash and Cash Equivalents as of September 30, 2025 were $35.1 million. With this cash, the company does not have adequate liquidity to fund its operations for at least 12 months from September 30, 2025, without raising additional capital.

About Immunic, Inc.

Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX) is a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic and gastrointestinal diseases. The company’s lead development program, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, for which top-line data is expected to be available by the end of 2026. It has already shown therapeutic activity in phase 2 clinical trials in patients suffering from relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and progressive multiple sclerosis. Vidofludimus calcium combines neuroprotective effects, through its mechanism as a first-in-class nuclear receptor related 1 (Nurr1) activator, with additional anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects, by selectively inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). IMU-856, which targets the protein Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), is intended to restore intestinal barrier function and regenerate bowel epithelium, which could potentially be applicable in numerous gastrointestinal diseases, such as celiac disease as well as inflammatory bowel disease, Graft-versus-Host-Disease and weight management. IMU-381, which currently is in preclinical testing, is a next generation molecule being developed to specifically address the needs of gastrointestinal diseases.

Adicon to Acquire Crown Bioscience for US$204 Million, Creating a Global End-to-End Laboratory Service Platform

EQS Newswire / 13/11/2025 / 16:48 UTC+8

Hangzhou, China Nov.13, 2025 – Adicon Holdings Limited (“Adicon”, 9860.HK), a leading independent clinical laboratory service provider in China and a portfolio company of global investment firm Carlyle, today announced that it has entered into a definitive share purchase agreement with JSR Life Sciences, LLC to acquire 100% of the issued shares of Crown Bioscience International (“Crown Bioscience”) for a base consideration of US$204 million (inclusive of earn-out payments), and subject to customary post-closing adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in mid-2026.

Crown Bioscience is a global contract research organization (CRO) providing discovery, preclinical and translational platforms and services to advance oncology and immuno-oncology drug discovery and development. Following the completion of the transaction, Crown Bioscience will operate as a standalone entity under Adicon’s ownership, maintaining its scientific leadership and global customer relationships while benefiting from Adicon’s complementary capabilities and strategic resources. Adicon is well positioned to capture the growth from both China’s expanding demand for precision diagnostics and global trends in biopharmaceutical innovation.

Creation of a global end-to-end laboratory service platform
The transaction marks a transformative milestone in Adicon’s strategic journey from a leading China-based diagnostics platform to a global end-to-end laboratory services provider that bridges diagnostics, clinical development, and preclinical research. By combining Adicon’s nationwide clinical laboratory network in China with the Crown Bioscience’s global preclinical and translational expertise in oncology and immuno-oncology, the partnership will enable enhanced biomarker strategies, improve translational predictivity, and help biopharma sponsors advance promising therapies toward clinical development with greater confidence and speed.

Leading capabilities in preclinical In Vivo and In Vitro oncology research
With the world’s largest patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model collection and advanced tumor organoid platforms that deliver exceptional translatability and patient response predictivity, Crown Bioscience’s expertise spans in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo methods. Adicon will continue to support these innovative capabilities to help biopharma partners accelerate oncology drug development and improve confidence in translational decision-making.

Expanding Global Reach and Industry Partnerships
Crown Bioscience serves more than 1,100 biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies globally, including all of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies. Combining their global client base with Adicon’s strong relationships with hospitals and healthcare institutions across China will create an innovation ecosystem that connects early discovery with clinical validation. Following completion, approximately 23.1 % of Adicon’s combined revenue will be generated outside China, underscoring its evolution into a truly international platform.

Strengthening Financial Profile and Long-Term Growth
The transaction adds a new complementary growth engine to Adicon’s resilient diagnostics business. Stable cash flow from its independent clinical laboratory (ICL) operations, combined with Crown Bioscience’s high-growth and high-margin CRO services, provides a balanced and scalable business model. This combination is expected to unlock new revenue opportunities, and create long-term shareholder value.

Management Commentary
Ms. Yang Ling, Chairwoman of Adicon and Head of Asia Healthcare at Carlyle, commented, “This acquisition represents an important milestone in Adicon’s growth journey. With Crown Bioscience’s world-class CRO capabilities, Adicon is expanding its reach across the global healthcare value chain – from clinical diagnostics to drug discovery and translational research. This transaction reinforces Adicon’s vision to become a trusted partner for biopharma innovation and precision diagnostics.”

“This transition marks a pivotal moment for Crown Bioscience,” said John Gu, CEO of Crown Bioscience. “With Adicon’s strong support and the backing of Carlyle’s global network and resources, we are poised to accelerate innovation in translational oncology and expand our capabilities across key global markets. From our new Model Development Center in North Carolina to our advanced imaging and biomarker operations in the UK, we are deepening our commitment to providing clients with local access to cutting-edge science. Through our EU, UK, APAC and US initiatives, we’re institutionalizing best practices and scientific excellence across all regions, ensuring that every study reflects the same high standards and delivers the trusted Crown experience our partners rely on.”

Biotest obtains approval for new human fibrinogen Prufibry® in Germany

PRESS RELEASE

Biotest obtains approval for new human fibrinogen Prufibry® in Germany

  • New life-saving therapy for patients with congenital and acquired fibrinogen deficiency
  • Clinical studies demonstrate efficacy and safety in bleeding control and surgical settings
  • Important expansion to Biotest’s intensive care and coagulation factor portfolio
  • Produced at the highly efficient Biotest Next Level facility in Dreieich

Dreieich, 13 November 2025.  Biotest AG, part of the Grifols Group, announced today that the German competent authority, the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, has approved Prufibry® (human fibrinogen; development name BT524) for the German market. Biotest’s human fibrinogen is a highly purified product with a precisely defined amount of fibrinogen, allowing for a predictable response and a rapid replenishment of fibrinogen, which is important in these critical moments.

“Prufibry® expands Biotest’s product portfolio in the field of intensive care and coagulation disorders with a new, highly purified plasma protein,” emphasises Dr Jörg Schüttrumpf, Chief Executive Officer of Biotest AG. “With this approval, patients suffering from congenital and acquired fibrinogen deficiency will gain access to an effective, reliable and safe therapy to prevent and control life-threatening bleeding events especially in surgical and trauma settings.”

Clinical development and indications

This approval is based on a comprehensive clinical development program including pivotal Phase III trials. The studies demonstrated that BT524 effectively restored fibrinogen levels and controlled bleeding episodes in patients with congenital afibrinogenemia and hypofibrinogenemia. In addition, perioperative use of BT524 in major surgeries confirmed its efficacy in preventing excessive bleeding when standard coagulation support was insufficient.

The approval covers the following indications in adults, children and adolescents (0-18 years):

Biotest’s human fibrinogen is indicated:

  • for the treatment and peri-operative prophylaxis of bleeding in patients with congenital hypo- or afibrinogenaemia with bleeding tendency.
  • as complementary therapy to management of uncontrolled severe haemorrhage in acquired hypofibrinogenaemia caused by surgery or trauma.

 

Manufactured at Biotest Next Level

Biotest’s human fibrinogen is produced in the new “Biotest Next Level” production facility at the Dreieich site. This state-of-the-art manufacturing platform enables high yields, robust viral safety, and sustainable use of the valuable raw material plasma.

The approval represents another important milestone in Biotest’s strategy to broaden its specialty plasma protein portfolio and to strengthen supply security for patients worldwide.

Outlook

With the approval in Germany, the launch of Biotest’s human fibrinogen is expected by the end of 2025. Further approvals in European and international markets are planned.

Prufibry® joins Biotest’s established coagulation factor products and complements the company’s growing specialty portfolio.

 

About Prufibry®

The newly developed manufacturing process of human fibrinogen leads to high-purity fibrinogen with a defined concentration, high level of viral safety and good solubility.

 

About AdFIrst trial no. 995

The AdFIrst trial was a prospective, active-controlled, multicentre phase III trial investigating the efficacy and safety of the Fibrinogen concentrate (BT524) in patients with acquired fibrinogen deficiency. Patients who had high blood loss during planned spinal or abdominal surgery were randomized 1:1 to treatment with Fibrinogen concentrate (BT524) or fresh frozen plasma (FFP)/Cryoprecipitate. To evaluate the efficacy of BT524, further blood loss was compared between treatment options. Further information about the trial design can be found at www.clinicaltrialsregister.eu (EudraCT number: 2017-001163-20).

 

About fibrinogen and fibrinogen deficiency

Fibrinogen is a blood clotting factor that is produced in the liver. It plays a key role in primary haemostasis (stopping blood loss from bleeding wounds) and wound healing. In case of a lack or shortage of fibrinogen blood’s ability to clot is impaired which leads to a much greater risk of bleeding and delayed haemostasis. The fibrinogen concentrate alternatives fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and cryoprecipitate contain variable amounts of fibrinogen and must be thawed prior totreatment. The defined amount of fibrinogen in the fibrinogen concentrate will allow a tailor-made, patient specific and highly effective therapy.

 

About Biotest

Biotest is a provider of biological therapeutics derived from human plasma. With a value added chain that extends from pre-clinical and clinical development to worldwide sales, Biotest has specialised primarily in the areas of clinical immunology, haematology and intensive care medicine. Biotest develops and markets immunoglobulins, coagulation factors and albumin based on human blood plasma. These are used for diseases of the immune and haematopoietic systems.

Stable earnings despite portfolio adjustment – 2025 guidance confirmed, strong growth in branded pharmaceuticals

 

  • Strong organic revenue growth and robust earnings trend in high-margin “Branded pharmaceuticals” segment
  • Efforts proceeding as planned to restructure parallel imports product portfolio with focus on contribution margins and to reorganise business model at Arkopharma
  • Adjusted EBITDA (excluding vaccine business) and adjusted EBITDA margin stable at prior-year level
  • Board of Management confirms full-year guidance for 2025

 

Grünwald, 13 November 2025 – Dermapharm Holding SE (“Dermapharm”), a rapidly growing manufacturer of branded pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products, today publishes its results for the first nine months of 2025.

Dermapharm Holding SE performed in line with expectations in the first nine months of 2025. Consolidated revenue decreased slightly by 2.3% to EUR 869.4 million as compared to the prior-year period (prior-year period: EUR 890.1 million). Adjusted for the remaining vaccine business, which is in the low double-digit million range, consolidated revenue declined by 1.7%. This was mainly down to the efforts to restructure the product portfolio in the “Parallel import business” segment to focus on contribution margins. Revenue was buoyed by the strong organic growth of 5.8% in the “Branded pharmaceuticals” segment (adjusted for the vaccine business), which however was unable to fully offset the revenue decline, primarily in the “Parallel import business”.

EBITDA adjusted for non-recurring items decreased by 1.8% to EUR 236.0 million in the first nine months of 2025 (prior-year period: EUR 240.3 million). Excluding the vaccine business, adjusted EBITDA improved by 0.8% year on year. Viewed in isolation, the third quarter of 2025 saw adjusted EBITDA grow slightly by 0.8%. Unadjusted EBITDA declined to EUR 230.8 million (prior-year period: EUR 234.1 million). The adjusted and unadjusted EBITDA margins remained virtually stable at 27.1% and 26.5%, respectively (prior-year period: 27.0% and 26.3%), not least due to the declining share of low-margin parallel imports in consolidated revenue.

“Despite a challenging market environment, we maintained a stable level of profitability in the first nine months of 2025 and set a key strategic course. We are particularly pleased with the continued strong growth in our high-margin ‘Branded pharmaceuticals’ segment. The planned restructuring of our portfolio and business model in individual areas lays a foundation for their sustainable, profitable growth, and we are confident about the rest of the year,” said Dr Hans-Georg Feldmeier, CEO of Dermapharm Holding SE.

 

Branded pharmaceuticals

In the “Branded pharmaceuticals” segment, strong organic growth in the existing business, in particular the Allergopharma Group and the international companies, translated to a 4.2% rise in revenue from EUR 431.6 million in the previous year to EUR 449.8 million. Adjusted for the remaining vaccine business, revenue grew by a notable 5.8%.

Unadjusted EBITDA rose by 3.1% to EUR 198.3 million (prior-year period: EUR 192.3 million), due primarily to organic growth in the existing business. This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 44.1% (prior-year period: 44.6%). The segment’s adjusted EBITDA likewise rose, increasing by 1.2% to EUR 199.6 million (prior-year period: EUR 197.3 million). Adjusted non-recurring expenses declined significantly from EUR 5.0 million to EUR 1.3 million, and related primarily to restructuring measures.

Other healthcare products

In the “Other healthcare products” segment, Dermapharm generated EUR 269.0 million in revenue in the first nine months of 2025 (prior-year period: EUR 271.7 million). The slight decline in revenue was due primarily to the ongoing reorganisation of Arkopharma’s business model. The organic growth in the rest of the existing business did not fully offset the decline. 

The segment’s adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 42.1 million (prior-year period: EUR 45.8 million) and reflected the corresponding revenue trend. Earnings were also impacted by the weaker US dollar and the resulting currency losses. The adjusted non-recurring expenses amounted to EUR 2.8 million (prior-year period: EUR 1.2 million) and were likewise primarily connected with restructuring measures. Unadjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 39.3 million (prior-year period: 44.6 million), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 14.6% (prior-year period: 16.4%).

Parallel import business

In the “Parallel import business” segment, there was no let-up in the strategic realignment concentrated on portfolio optimisation with a focus on contribution margins. As expected, the targeted focus on higher-margin products went hand-in-hand with a decline in revenue to EUR 150.6 million (prior-year period: EUR 186.9 million).

The segment’s adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR -1.6 million (prior-year period: EUR 1.1 million) and is due primarily to the initial decline in the absolute contribution margin as a result of falling product sales. The adjusted non-recurring expenses amounted to EUR 1.2 million (prior-year period: EUR 0.0 million) and were likewise due to restructuring measures. Unadjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR -2.8 million (prior-year period: 1.1 million), and the EBITDA margin amounted to -1.9% (prior-year period: 0.6%). The segment’s earnings continue to develop in line with expectations in the current 2025 financial year as the absolute contribution margins rise.

Board of Management confirms outlook for 2025 overall

Given that the Company performed in line with projections in the first nine months of the current financial year 2025, and in light of the positive outlook for the final quarter, the Board of Management confirms that both consolidated revenue and adjusted EBITDA will be in line with the published forecast range of between EUR 1,160–1,200 million and EUR 322–332 million, respectively.

Formycon publishes nine-month results and confirms guidance – Pipeline progress and strong partnerships drive fiscal year 2025

  • Guidance for 2025 confirmed – Revenue and earnings development in line with expectations
  • FYB202 (Stelara®1 biosimilar): Market penetration in the US and Europe continues
  • Significant pipeline progress: FYB201 – Launch of the first pre-filled syringe for a ranibizumab biosimilar in Europe; settlement for FYB203 enables US launch; patient recruitment for FYB206 pharmacokinetic (PK) study successfully completed

Planegg-Martinsried, Germany – Formycon AG (FSE: FYB, “Formycon”) today reports on the Group’s business development and financial results for the first nine months of fiscal year 2025. During the reporting period, the company successfully expanded its operational activities and consistently pursued its strategic priorities in the areas of development, financing, partnerships, and competitiveness. Based on these positive developments, Formycon confirms its existing guidance for the 2025 fiscal year.

Enno Spillner, CFO of Formycon, commented: “Operational development and financial performance in the third quarter were in line with expectations. In addition, we confidently anticipate a dynamic fourth quarter and expect significant sales momentum from the ongoing market penetration of our Stelara® biosimilar FYB202 in the US and Europe. In particular, the exclusive US distribution agreement concluded by Fresenius Kabi with CivicaScript promises a significant increase in sales in the fourth quarter. In addition, we expect further positive momentum from the advanced commercialization discussions for our Keytruda®2 biosimilar candidate FYB206 in selected regions. Our rigorous, streamlined development program without a Phase III study has enabled us to advance the clinical development of FYB206 significantly faster and more cost-efficiently. The successful completion of patient recruitment once again underscores our pioneering role in global biosimilar development and at the same time strengthens our appeal for future partnerships. With strict cost control and the solid financing structure from our first corporate bond in the summer, we are well positioned to achieve our annual targets.”

Group revenues and earnings development on track – guidance for 2025 confirmed

In the first nine months of 2025, the Formycon Group generated revenues of approximately €19.5 million (9M/2024: €41.1 million). While the previous years’ figures included one-time payments from license and milestone agreements for FYB202, current revenues increasingly derive from recurring proceeds from the marketing of approved biosimilars, from development services for out-licensed or jointly developed projects, and from service payments for supply chain coordination.

Revenues from the ranibizumab biosimilar FYB201 from direct participation in commercialization proceeds amounted to €1.5 million (9M/2024: €6.0 million). As previously reported, Sandoz temporarily paused commercialization in the US from the second quarter of 2025 for tactical market reasons; based on current information, resumption is planned for the first quarter of 2026. In the remaining 24 markets outside the US – including Europe and the MENA region – FYB201 continued to be marketed, and development proceeded as expected. After the end of the reporting period, FYB201 was launched as the first ready-to-use syringe of a ranibizumab biosimilar in the first European countries. The syringe system sets new standards in quality and innovation and increases the marketing potential of the ranibizumab biosimilar FYB201 in Europe.

The Stelara® biosimilar FYB202 (Otulfi®3/Fymskina®4) developed according to plan during the reporting period. Following the market launch by our partner Fresenius Kabi in March, market development is progressing steadily. In the US, FYB202 is primarily distributed through the pharmacy benefit channel. An exclusive distribution agreement with CivicaScript and other contracts have now been concluded. In Europe, FYB202 has already been launched in 18 countries. In Germany, our distribution partner Ratiopharm has additionally been handling sales for FYB202/Fymskina® since this summer. Revenues from direct participation in the commercialization of FYB202 amounted to €3.2 million (9M/2024: €0). Milestone payments of €0.5 million were also realized for approvals in additional regions. Based on the contracts concluded and the expected order volumes, Formycon anticipates a significant increase in revenue contributions from FYB202 in the final quarter of 2025.

The Group’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to
€-21.4 million in the reporting period (9M/2024: €-17.7 million) and were thus in line with planning. This development mainly reflects the temporary decline in sales revenues resulting from the transition phase between one-time license payments and the increasing share of sales from commercialized products. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to €-21.7 million (9M/2024: €2.9 million) and includes the earnings contribution from the 50% stake in Bioeq AG.

The at-equity result of Bioeq AG for the first nine months was €-0.3 million (9M/2024: €20.6 million), reflecting the temporary marketing pause for FYB201 in the US. The forecast for EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in the range of €-20 million to €-10 million for the full year remains unchanged.

The current positive developments in easing regulatory requirements, such as the waiver of Phase III clinical trials as a standard requirement, are paving the way for shorter and less expensive development cycles and allowing Formycon to focus its structures on greater efficiency. Based on the successful development and approval of three biosimilar products, the company is leveraging the experience it has gained to pool capacities in a targeted manner, further optimize the use of resources, and significantly reduce costs. The growing use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence is increasingly helping to make development processes focused, lean, and thus competitive. Formycon is aiming for EBITDA-profitable corporate development in the medium term and expects that a positive EBITDA result can ideally be achieved in 2026, but no later than in the 2027 fiscal year.

In the second quarter of 2025, Formycon AG successfully placed its first corporate bond 2025/2029 (ISIN NO0013586024 / WKN A4DFJH) in Nordic Bond format with a total volume of €70 million on the capital market. The four-year, floating-rate bond (maturity: July 2029) bears interest based on the 3-month Euribor plus a margin of 7.00% p.a.; interest payments are made quarterly. Investor feedback during the roadshow and after the placement confirms confidence in Formycon’s promising growth strategy and business model.

In connection with the successful placement of a €70 million corporate bond, the working capital forecast was already raised in the first half of the year. Working capital amounted to €83.2 million in the first nine months (9M/2024: €65.8 million), securing the financing of ongoing development activities and operating business in the medium and long term.

Operational development on track – strategic progress and settlement and license agreement confirm outlook for the full year

Dr. Stefan Glombitza, CEO of Formycon AG, said: “In fiscal year 2025, we further refined our strategy in the areas of development, partnerships, and competitiveness and achieved important milestones. With the introduction of the innovative FYB201 prefilled syringe, we are setting new standards in ophthalmic care and creating additional differentiation in the European market. The settlement of the patent dispute with Regeneron regarding FYB203 also marks a decisive step forward in the US market entry of our Eylea®5 biosimilar and strengthens our position in one of the largest biosimilar markets worldwide. The latest initiative by the US health authority to simplify the approval process for biosimilars marks a significant regulatory advance with immediate relevance for our industry. The planned facilitations can significantly shorten development times and at the same time make them more cost-effective. We anticipated this change early on and aligned our clinical strategy for our Keytruda® biosimilar candidate FYB206 accordingly in consultation with the FDA. The streamlined design of our clinical program already shows that scientific excellence can be successfully combined with economic efficiency. These developments confirm our approach and create additional opportunities to develop and bring biosimilars to market faster, more cost-effectively, and with high quality.”

In the third quarter of 2025, Formycon advanced the development of key biosimilar projects as planned and achieved significant operational progress. This includes, in particular, further progress with the pembrolizumab biosimilar candidate FYB206. Following positive regulatory feedback, a Phase III study was not required as therapeutic comparability can be demonstrated by comprehensive analytical data and the ongoing Phase I Pharmacokinetic (PK) study. Patient recruitment for this ongoing Phase I PK study was already completed in July. Formycon expects results for the primary endpoint in the first quarter of 2026.

Further important steps toward market expansion and portfolio differentiation were taken after the end of the reporting period: One focus was on the launch of the pre-filled syringe version of the ranibizumab biosimilar FYB201 (Ranivisio®6) in Europe by our partner Teva. At the beginning of October, a settlement and license agreement for FYB203 was concluded with Regeneron, which resolves all the patent disputes in connection with the aflibercept biosimilar FYB203/Ahzantive®7 in the US. From today’s perspective, this means that the biosimilar, which has already been approved by the FDA, could enter the market in the fourth quarter of 2026. Exclusive commercialization in the United States and Canada will be carried out by the distribution partner Valorum Biologics based on the license agreement concluded at the end of June 2025.

In addition, exclusive commercialization agreements for FYB203 were signed with Actor Pharmaceuticals for Australia and with Megalabs for Latin America. A co-marketing partnership was agreed with Horus Pharma for selected European countries. These partnerships will expand FYB203’s future geographic market coverage and penetration and strengthen Formycon’s competitive position. At the same time, development activities for early-stage projects continued as planned.

About Biosimilars:
Since their introduction in the 1980s, biopharmaceutical drugs have revolutionized the treatment of serious and chronic diseases. By 2032, many of these drugs will lose their patent protection – including 45 blockbusters with an estimated total annual global turnover of more than 200 billion US dollars. Biosimilars are successor products to biopharmaceutical drugs for which market exclusivity has expired. They are approved in highly regulated markets such as the EU, the USA, Canada, Japan and Australia in accordance with strict regulatory procedures. Biosimilars create competition and thus give more patients access to biopharmaceutical therapies. At the same time, they reduce costs for healthcare systems. Global sales of biosimilars currently amount to around 21 billion US dollars. Analysts assume that sales could rise to over 74 billion US dollars by 2030.

Evotec receives milestone payment from Bristol Myers Squibb following IND acceptance in strategic protein degradation partnership

12.11.2025 / 07:30 CET/CEST

The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.


  • Milestone payment reflects continued progress under strategic research collaboration addressing high-need patient populations
  • FDA clearance of IND application triggered a US$ 5 m milestone payment to Evotec
 

Hamburg, Germany, 12 November 2025:
Evotec SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: EVT, SDAX/TecDAX, Prime Standard, ISIN: DE0005664809, WKN 566480; NASDAQ: EVO) today announced that it has received a US$ 5 m milestone payment from Bristol Myers Squibb, following the acceptance of an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in their strategic protein degradation partnership. The drug candidate, a cereblon E3 ligase modulator (“CELMoD™”) was developed under the collaboration, and a Phase 1 clinical trial is expected to begin in 2026.

Initiated in 2018, the collaboration combines Evotec’s high-performance multi-omics screening as well as AI-supported data analytics and drug design capabilities with Bristol Myers Squibb’s industry-leading library of CELMoDs™. The collaboration, expanded in 2022, continues to deliver on its goal to identify novel molecular glue degraders for high-value targets in the field of oncology and beyond.

Dr Cord Dohrmann, Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec, commented: “We are excited to have reached this important achievement in our collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, and to move one step closer to bringing the first compound of our molecular glue degrader pipeline to the clinic. This IND acceptance represents not only a major scientific and regulatory milestone but also validates the strength of our collaboration and emphasizes the enormous potential for delivering multiple first-in-class products to market.“

About molecular glue degraders
Conventional small molecule therapeutics work via a drug-induced interference with a protein activity. This limitation to agonistic or antagonistic functions renders about 90% of proteins “undruggable”. Also, conventional small molecules only work while they are actively binding to the receptor, which typically requires a treatment regimen consisting of one or even several carefully dosed medications every day.

Molecular glue degraders are compounds that induce interactions between an E3 ubiquitin ligase and a molecular target. The induced interaction results in ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the recruited protein. Through this mechanism of action molecular glues are not restricted to the agonistic/antagonistic features of a protein, thus massively expanding the range of the druggable proteome. Also, the molecular glue itself is not degraded in the process and can trigger the degradation process several times over, thus leading to longer-lasting therapeutic effects.

About Evotec’s strategic collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb in molecular glues
In 2018, Evotec entered a long-term strategic drug discovery and development collaboration in the field of molecular glues with Celgene, now Bristol Myers Squibb. Bristol Myers Squibb is a leader in this field based on its unique library of CELMoDs™. The collaboration aims to discover and develop a leading pipeline of molecular glue degraders for a range of therapeutic indications leveraging all of Evotec’s proprietary PanOmics and PanHunter platforms as well as AI/ML-based drug discovery and development capabilities.

Evotec applies high-end proteomics and transcriptomics at industrial scale to profile and select promising drug candidates based on comprehensive cell biological profiles. Evotec’s leading PanOmics screening capabilities are delivering unmatched throughput. The selection of the most promising candidates for drug development is facilitated by Evotec’s PanOmics data analysis platform PanHunter. PanHunter supports the integration and analysis of these data sets and thereby enables the selection of the most promising CELMoDs™ for further progression into lead optimization.

Sandoz signs global license agreement to commercialize breast cancer biosimilar pertuzumab

  • Agreement with EirGenix Inc. grants Sandoz exclusive rights to commercialize proposed biosimilar of pertuzumab for treatment of HER2-positive early breast cancer / metastatic breast cancer
  • Reference medicine market worth USD 4.1 billion in global sales
  • Pertuzumab used in combination with other therapies, highly complementary to proposed Sandoz biosimilars trastuzumab and trastuzumab deruxtecan
  • Strengthens overall Sandoz position in oncology and reinforces ongoing commitment to expand patient access to affordable medicines and drive sustainable savings for healthcare systems 

Basel, November 12, 2025 – Sandoz (SIX:SDZ/OTCQX:SDZNY), the global leader in affordable medicines, today announced the signing of a global license agreement to commercialize a proposed biosimilar of oncology medicine pertuzumab.

The agreement with EirGenix Inc. (EirGenix Inc., 6589.TW) is milestone-based for a total consideration of up to USD 152 million, including an upfront payment and further potential incentives dependent upon market performance. The reference medicine market is worth an estimated USD 4.1 billion1 in global sales, and pertuzumab will join the deep Sandoz pipeline with the strategic objective to capitalize on a projected ~USD 300 billion biosimilar market opportunity over the next 10 years2.

Under the terms of the agreement, Sandoz has exclusive worldwide commercial rights to a biosimilar of pertuzumab, excluding certain countries in Asia*, while EirGenix Inc. will be responsible for development, manufacturing and supply. The medicine has already completed a human pharmacokinetic similarity clinical study.

Richard Saynor, CEO of Sandoz, said: “According to the latest estimates, up to 2.3 million patients worldwide are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and, of these cases, approximately 15% to 20% are HER2-positive breast cancer3.

“This agreement underscores our commitment to expand patient access, as well as support healthcare systems by offering high quality and more affordable treatment options. It also enhances our biosimilar oncology portfolio and complements our pipeline, given that the combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab represents the standard of care in this field.”

The reference medicine Perjeta®** is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that is used in combination with other therapies, including trastuzumab, to treat HER2-positive early breast cancer and HER2-positive metastatic or locally recurrent unresectable breast cancer4,5.

The agreement strengthens the collaboration between Sandoz and EirGenix Inc, with an existing agreement already in place for worldwide commercialization*** of the proposed biosimilar trastuzumab, in both 150 mg and 420 mg forms. Studies also show that a combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab deruxtecan could become a new first-line standard for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer6, with a biosimilar of trastuzumab deruxtecan currently in the Sandoz pipeline.

Sandoz is committed to helping millions of patients access critical and potentially life-changing biologic medicines sustainably and affordably, with a leading global portfolio comprising 11 marketed biosimilars and a further 27 assets in various stages of development.
