Immunic, Inc. Reports Year-End 2025 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update

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

– Raised Proceeds of $200 Million in a Private Placement, with Potential for up to an Additional $200 Million – 

– Net Proceeds Expected to Fund Completion of Phase 3 ENSURE Trials in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis, Initiation of Phase 3 Trial in Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and Begin of Transition into a Commercial Organization – 

NEW YORK, February 26, 2026 – 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 year ended December 31, 2025, and provided a corporate update.

“The phase 3 ENSURE-1 and ENSURE-2 trials of our lead asset, orally available nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activator, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838) in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) continue to progress, with top-line data expected to be available by the end of 2026,” stated Daniel Vitt, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Immunic. “As we continue to advance our multiple sclerosis (MS) program with vidofludimus calcium, we were extremely pleased to have recently announced the successful completion of an oversubscribed private placement of up to $400 million in gross proceeds, with $200 million in upfront gross proceeds. This financing is truly a pivotal milestone for Immunic and positions us to confidently transition into a fully integrated commercial-stage company. The transaction was led by our existing investor BVF Partners L.P. with participation from a group of highly regarded new and other existing investors. This level of commitment reflects growing confidence in our program and reinforces our belief in vidofludimus calcium’s potential to address the underlying drivers of MS progression.”

“The proceeds from the initial closing are expected to fund our operations through the ENSURE top-line data and our planned RMS New Drug Application (NDA) submission in the United States in mid-2027, with a targeted potential regulatory approval date in 2028,” continued Dr. Vitt. “They also support preparations for the potential launch of vidofludimus calcium in RMS, including expansion of our medical and commercial infrastructure. Additionally, based on the totality of the phase 2 CALLIPER trial data in progressive MS, which showed not only substantial and medically relevant reductions for vidofludimus calcium in delaying 24-week confirmed disability progression but also statistically significant 24-week confirmed disability improvement, while confirming the drug’s favorable safety and tolerability profile already observed in previous clinical trials, we plan to initiate a confirmatory phase 3 program in primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) later this year as well.”

Jason Tardio, President and Chief Operating Officer of Immunic, added, “This is an exciting moment for Immunic and for individuals living with MS, as we believe that vidofludimus calcium could represent a potentially transformative approach to disease modification. Current oral therapies for RMS mainly control inflammation and relapses, often have complex safety and tolerability issues and do not adequately address the neurodegenerative processes driving disability progression and long-term disability. In contrast, vidofludimus calcium is uniquely designed to provide direct neuroprotective effects by enhancing neuronal survival and function through Nurr1 activation, while reducing new inflammatory damage via selective DHODH inhibition. This first-in-class mechanism has the potential to address the two key biological drivers of disability progression—relapse-associated worsening (RAW) and progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA)—potentially offering advantages over currently available therapies that primarily focus on inflammatory relapses. As such, we believe vidofludimus calcium may achieve a best-in-class benefit-risk profile and, therefore, could represent a large commercial opportunity in the global MS market, which is projected to reach over $30 billion by the early 2030s.” 

Fourth Quarter 2025 and Subsequent Highlights 

  • February 2026: Completed an oversubscribed private placement of up to $400 million in gross proceeds, led by existing investor BVF Partners L.P. with participation from Aberdeen Investments, Avidity Partners, Coastlands Capital, EcoR1 Capital, Janus Henderson Investors, OrbiMed, RA Capital Management, TCGX, Trails Edge Capital Partners, Vivo Capital, Woodline Partners LP, and other institutional investors. A total of $200 million in gross proceeds to Immunic was received upon closing on February 17, 2026.
    • Simona Skerjanec, former SVP, Global Head of Neuroscience and Rare Diseases at Roche, elevated to Interim Chairperson of the Board of Directors. Dr. Duane Nash, former Chairman, remains a member of the Board. Thor Nagel, Principal at BVF Partners L.P., appointed to the Board. Plans underway for further Board refreshment to support the company’s evolution into a commercial-stage organization.
    • Initiated search for a new Chief Executive Officer with deep commercial expertise in MS to lead Immunic into its next stage of growth and commercialization. Subsequently, Dr. Vitt will return to his roots and transition to a new senior executive role focused on scientific strategy and portfolio advancement, while remaining on the Board.
  • February 2026: Presented additional data from the phase 2 CALLIPER trial of vidofludimus calcium in patients with progressive MS at the ACTRIMS Forum 2026. The findings, presented in two poster presentations, provide additional evidence of vidofludimus calcium’s effects on key biological drivers of disease progression, including antiviral immune responses linked to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) markers of both acute-focal and chronic-compartmentalized inflammation. The findings further reinforce Immunic’s belief that vidofludimus calcium has the potential to address underlying mechanisms of disease progression in MS patients.

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. Subsequently, Immunic plans to submit an NDA in the United States in mid-2027, with a targeted potential regulatory approval date in 2028.
  • Initiation of a phase 3 clinical program in PPMS is expected later this year and estimated to take approximately 3.5 to 4 years to complete.
  • IMU-856: The company continues preparing for further clinical testing of IMU-856, contingent on financing, licensing or partnering.

Financial and Operating Results 

  • Research and Development (R&D) Expenses were $82.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $80.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The $1.9 million increase reflects (i) a $3.9 million increase in external development costs related to the vidofludimus calcium program and (ii) a $1.8 million increase in personnel expenses for R&D. The increase was offset by (i) a $3.0 million decrease in external development costs related to IMU-856 and (ii) a $0.8 million decrease across numerous categories.
  • General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses were $21.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $18.0 million for the same period ended December 31, 2024. The $3.2 million increase was due to (i) a $1.9 million increase related to personnel expenses, of which $0.3 million was related to non-cash stock compensation, (ii) a $0.8 million increase in legal and consultancy expenses and (iii) a $0.5 million increase related to costs across numerous categories. 
  • Interest Income was $1.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $3.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The $2.4 million decrease was due to a lower average cash balance.
  • In the twelve months ended December 31, 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 company’s 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2025.
  • Other Income (Expense) was $5.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to ($1.0 million) for the same period ended December 31, 2024. The $6.1 million increase was primarily attributable to (i) $4.8 million of grant income from the German Federal Ministry of Finance, of which $1.0 million was recognized in the first quarter 2025 and $3.8 million was recognized in the fourth quarter 2025, (ii) 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 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2025, was approximately $97.2 million, or $0.62 per basic and diluted share, based on 155,688,030 weighted average common shares outstanding, compared to a net loss of approximately $100.5 million, or $1.00 per basic and diluted share, based on 100,174,766 weighted average common shares outstanding for the same period ended December 31, 2024.
  • Cash and Cash Equivalents as of December 31, 2025 were approximately $15.5 million. With these funds and the approximately $187.0 million net cash proceeds raised in the February 2026 private placement, Immunic expects to be able to fund its operations into late 2027. 

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.

Gerresheimer AG: BaFin announces expansion of audit of 2024 consolidated financial statements and initiation of audit of 2025 Half-Year Financial Report

25-Feb-2026 / 19:05 CET/CEST

Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by EQS News – a service of EQS Group.

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


Gerresheimer AG: BaFin announces expansion of audit of 2024 consolidated financial statements and initiation of audit of 2025 Half-Year Financial Report

Düsseldorf, February 25, 2026. The German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) has informed Gerresheimer AG (ISIN: DE000A0LD6E6, “Gerresheimer”) that it intends to

  • expand the audit of the published consolidated financial statements and the related Group management report for the 2023/2024 financial year of Gerresheimer AG, which was initiated on September 18, 2025, and
  • initiate an audit of the published condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the related interim group management report for the period from December 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025, of Gerresheimer AG.

Expansion of the audit of the 2024 consolidated financial statements
According to BaFin, the reason for expanding the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the associated Group management report for the 2024 financial year from December 1, 2023, to November 30, 2024, is “concrete evidence that

  1. the lease liabilities reported in the balance sheet with a carrying amount of €65.5 million and/or the undiscounted payment obligations corresponding to the lease liabilities disclosed in the notes may be incorrect;
     
  2. the disclosure of the useful lives of development costs capitalized as intangible assets with a carrying amount of €29.4 million may be incorrect;
     
  3. assets of the Advanced Technologies segment, which are reported in the balance sheet with a carrying amount of EUR 196.5 million, may have been impaired and that the impairment required in this case was not recognized.”

The assets of the Advanced Technologies segment relate to Sensile Medical AG, Olten, Switzerland. On February 10, 2026, Gerresheimer announced that non-cash impairments of approximately EUR 220 to 240 million were expected in the 2025 consolidated financial statements. These mainly relate to impairments of technology and development projects of Sensile Medical AG, Olten, Switzerland, and, among others, impairment losses to the assets of Gerresheimer Moulded Glass Chicago Inc., Chicago, USA.

 

Initiation of Audit of the 2025 Half-Year Financial Report
According to BaFin, the reason for the audit of the interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying interim group management report for the period from December 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025 (Half-Year Financial Report) is “concrete indications that

  1. the assessment of certain risks in the interim group management report for the period from December 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025, in conjunction with the 2023/24 Group management report, was no longer accurate due to the financing of the acquisition of Bormioli Pharma;
  1. the recognition of impairment losses on assets was incorrectly omitted;
     
  2. revenues and cost of sales in connection with bill and hold agreements were incorrectly recognized.”

In its 2025 Half-Year Financial Report, the Company classified the risks from acquisitions, divestments, and cooperations, as well as the liquidity risk, as low, unchanged from the 2024 consolidated financial statements. BaFin sees indications that maintaining the risk classification was no longer appropriate.
With regards to the recognition of revenues and costs in connection with bill and hold agreements, BaFin also intends to examine in the 2025 Half-Year Financial Report whether these revenues should have been recognized in the first half of 2025 or only at a later date. Linked to this is the accounting of inventories as of the balance sheet date of May 31, 2025.

On December 22, 2025, the Company had already announced that it would comprehensively correct revenues from bill and hold agreements, not include revenues from new bill and hold agreements in the 2025 consolidated financial statements, and refrain from this practice in the future. In addition, the Company had announced that it would also correct the recognition of revenues from bill and hold agreements in the following interim financial information for the 2026 financial year by adjusting the previous year’s figures.

Gerresheimer expects BaFin to initiate the announced expansion of its audit of the 2024 consolidated financial statements and the audit of the interim financial statements for the first half of 2025.

The Company will continue to cooperate fully with BaFin in the context of the audits in order to clarify the facts transparently.

BRAIN Biotech announces 3M 25/26 results and breakthrough at BioIncubator company SolasCure: Aurase Wound Gel showing strong clinical evidence of superior debridement and healing in chronic wounds

  • Aurase shows dual action on chronic wound debridement and healing
  • SolasCure preparing fund raising for clinical phase 2b/3
  • Sequential growth forecasted in the next quarters for BRAINBiocatalysts

ZWINGENBERG, Germany, February 25, 2026 – BRAIN Biotech AG, a leading provider of specialty enzymes and innovative biosolutions for industry, has published its financial figures for the first three months of the fiscal year 2025/26.

BRAIN Biotech Group generated Q1 revenue of € 11.9 million compared to € 13.1 million in the same period of the previous year, a decrease of 9.0 %. The group strongly improved the adjusted EBITDA to € 0.3 million from € -0.7 million in the same period last year, reflecting the strong performance of the BRAINBioIncubator segment. The BRAINBioIncubator segment benefitted from a milestone income of € 1.0 million from the deucrictibant program. The core segment BRAINBiocatalysts had the expected slow start to the year but is forecasted to show sequential growth over the next quarters.

The company today announced very positive news on its BRAINBioIncubator participation SolasCure. SolasCure is an independent clinical development company in which BRAIN Biotech holds a 35 % stake and additional production rights to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) tarumase. SolasCure has now successfully completed an extension study of Phase 2a clinical development. The treatment of chronic wounds with Aurase® Wound Gel which combines a hydrogel with the enzymatic active ingredient tarumase shows both a 22 times more effective wound debridement and a 7 times accelerated healing compared to the current standard of care in the control group. SolasCure sees a total addressable market for the advanced treatment of chronic wounds of around US$ 4.3 billion in the US alone.

With this positive clinical data, SolasCure is now seeking a larger financing round to secure funding for the next steps in clinical development. Adriaan Moelker, CEO BRAIN Biotech, comments: “I am really thrilled by the clinical data the SolasCure team has been able to demonstrate. There is a large global need for innovation in advanced wound care. Aurase Wound Gel has demonstrated to accelerate wound debridement and healing at the same time and has therefore the potential to become a best-in-class first line treatment for chronic wounds with a large addressable market. We at BRAIN Biotech are very proud to have invented this enzyme and to be an active partner in its commercialization.”

Development of the segments

Revenues in the core segment BRAINBiocatalysts (enzymes, microorganisms and ingredients) decreased by 16.3 % from € 11.9 million to € 10.0 million in the reporting period. This decrease is largely attributable to lower sales of baking enzymes and to the beverage industry. The company is currently commissioning a new state-of-the-art joint production site in the Netherlands. The move and combination of production sites to and within the Netherlands was one root cause of lower sales in the quarter next to lower general customer demand. BRAIN Biotech Group expects to finalize commissioning of the new plant during Q2 2025/26. Adjusted EBITDA in the BRAINBiocatalysts segment decreased from € 0.8 million to € 0.5 million, mainly due to lower revenues and negative product mix effects. The company is forecasting sequential revenue growth for the BRAINBiocatalysts segment over the next quarters after the soft start in Q1.

Revenues within the BRAINBioIncubator segment (research-intensive R&D projects with industrial partners and own projects) rose strongly by € 0.7 million to € 1.9 million from € 1.2 million in the previous year. The company has been able to harvest a major milestone payment of € 1.0 million from the deucrictibant project for the treatment of hereditary angioedema. Milestone income in combination with lower personnel costs significantly improved adjusted EBITDA to € 0.7 million (€ – 0.7 million last year).

The BRAIN Biotech Holding mainly includes personnel expenses and other expenses for Group administration, further development of the BRAIN Biotech Group, stock exchange listing costs, group financing and M&A activities. The adjusted EBITDA for the holding was slightly lower at € -0.9 million compared to the previous year and fully within the budget planning.

Outlook

For the financial year 2025/26, BRAIN Biotech AG maintains its outlook for the core segment BRAINBiocatalysts with expected sales around last year’s level and an associated adjusted EBITDA margin of around 10 %. The company upgrades its guidance for the segment BRAINBioIncubator to a positive adjusted EBITDA (previously around break-even). It maintains its view that revenues in this segment are expected to grow markedly, targeting around € 5 million in the financial year.

Pentixapharm Receives FDA “Study May Proceed” Letters for Dual Theranostic INDs in CXCR4-Based Hemato-Oncology Program

25.02.2026 / 08:00 CET/CEST

Pentixapharm Receives FDA “Study May Proceed” Letters for Dual Theranostic INDs in CXCR4-Based Hemato-Oncology Program

  • U.S. Investigational New Drug (IND) applications for radiotheranostic pair PentixaFor and PentixaTher became active following completion of the FDA 30-day review period.
  • Proposed phase I/II trial designed to confirm the suitability of CXCR4-directed radiotherapy for bone marrow conditioning in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.
  • Overall aim is to complement or reduce conventional chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma (MM) patients.

Berlin, Germany – February 25, 2026 – Pentixapharm Holding AG (Frankfurt Prime Standard: PTP), an advanced clinical-stage biotech developing novel radiopharmaceuticals, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has completed its 30-day safety review of two Investigational New Drug (IND) applications for the Company’s CXCR4-targeted theranostic program in hemato-oncology and confirmed that the proposed clinical study may proceed.

The two IND submissions support the single PENTHERA Phase I/II protocol, which evaluates the combined use of PentixaFor imaging and [⁹⁰Y]Y-PentixaTher as targeted bone marrow conditioning prior to stem cell transplantation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and multiple myeloma (MM).

Hematopoietic Stem cell transplantation remains the only potentially curative treatment option for many patients with these hematologic malignancies, yet conventional conditioning regimens rely on highly toxic chemotherapy and/or total body irradiation. Pentixapharm’s CXCR4-directed radiopharmaceutical approach is designed to enable more biologically targeted conditioning while delivering antitumor activity with precision.

In Europe and the US alone, AML and MM together account for more than 25,000 stem cell transplantations annually, each requiring a conditioning regimen prior to transplant.

“The U.S. INDs provide important regulatory validation of our CXCR4-targeted approach and support its advancement in the stem cell transplant setting, combining PentixaFor imaging with [⁹⁰Y]Y-PentixaTher,” said Dirk Pleimes, CEO of Pentixapharm. “AML and MM are significant hematologic malignancies where transplantation remains central to treatment. We believe that targeted bone marrow conditioning has the potential to offer a differentiated strategy within this established chemotherapy-based paradigm. This regulatory milestone also builds on our ongoing investigator-initiated clinical studies in AML in Europe.”

The Company will determine the timing of future clinical studies under the IND in accordance with its broader portfolio prioritisation and resource planning.

 

 

About Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Multiple Myeloma (MM)
AML and MM are serious hematologic malignancies associated with high relapse rates and ongoing unmet medical need. In eligible patients, stem cell transplantation represents a potentially curative treatment option. Conditioning therapy prior to transplantation, designed to reduce residual disease and prepare the bone marrow for engraftment, is an established component of the procedure. Conventional conditioning regimens typically rely on intensive chemotherapy and/or external beam radiation, which act systemically and may be associated with significant off-target toxicity.

About Pentixapharm

Pentixapharm is an advanced clinical-stage biotech expanding the boundaries of radiopharmaceuticals. Headquartered in Berlin, Germany, the company develops precision diagnostics and therapeutics in oncology and cardiology to transform patient care. Its clinical pipeline is anchored by CXCR4-targeted PET-CT programs, including a Phase 3-ready candidate for the improved diagnosis of hypertensive patients with primary aldosteronism, which is intended to enable targeted treatment of the underlying causes of hypertension. CXCR4-based developments also include pioneering therapeutic programs in hematological cancers. Furthermore, Pentixapharm is advancing a next-generation antibody platform targeting CD24, an emerging immune-checkpoint marker over-expressed in multiple hard-to-treat cancers. Complemented by CXCR4 and CD24 intellectual property protection and a reliable isotope supply chain, Pentixapharm is poised to deliver meaningful patient benefit and sustainable growth in one of the fastest-growing areas of precision medicine.

#FutureFresenius: REJUVENATE in action – Delivering accelerated performance for long-term value creation; 2025 yet another year of strong delivery

FY/25 – Strong organic revenue and excellent Core EPS growth; REJUVENATE phase spurs profitable growth, drives stronger balance sheet, and creates significant value.

  • Group revenue1 at €22,554 million with organic growth of 7%1,2 reflecting the consistent execution across Fresenius Kabi and Fresenius Helios.
  • Group EBIT1 at €2,595 million with 6%3 growth in constant currency driven in particular by Fresenius Kabi’s Growth Vectors and the strong performance of Fresenius Helios in Spain; Group EBIT margin1 at 11.5% despite significant headwinds.
  • Core EPS1,4 increased by 12%3 in constant currency to €2.87 based on strong operating results and significantly decreased interest expense.
  • Structural EBIT margin ambition increased for Fresenius Kabi to 17 to 19% (previously 16 to 18%)
  • Constant currency Core EPS growth1,4 established as new guidance metric is expected to be in the range of 5 to 10% in FY/26; organic revenue growth2 projected to be in the range of 4 to 7% in FY/26.
  • Net debt/EBITDA ratio improved by 30 bp to 2.7x1,5, well within the self-imposed target corridor of 2.5 to 3.0x; driven by cash flow delivery leading to significant debt reduction.
  • Dividend proposal of €1.05 per share; year-on-year increase of 5%, in line with the Company’s dividend payout ratio of 30 to 40%.

 

Q4/25 – Closing the year with an outstanding quarter; excellent organic revenue and EBIT growth; excellent operating cashflow.

  • Group revenue1 at €5,875 million with organic growth of 9%1,2 driven by contributions from both, Fresenius Kabi and Fresenius Helios.
  • Group EBIT1 at €713 million with constant currency growth of 13%3 on the back of the continued powerful operating performance at Fresenius Kabi and the expected strong acceleration at Fresenius Helios; Group EBIT margin1 improved by 40 bp to 12.1%.
  • Core EPS1,4 growth in constant currency of 16%3 further accelerated to €0.78, driven by consistent operating strength and lower interest expenses.
  • Operating cashflow of €1,340 million, a year-on-year increase of 36% driven by disciplined capex spending and focus on net working capital at Fresenius Kabi, and Fresenius Helios successfully driving receivables collection.

Michael Sen, CEO of Fresenius: “2025 was a pivotal year for Fresenius. With disciplined execution of our #FutureFresenius strategy and a strong performance from Team Fresenius, we met our upgraded full-year guidance by delivering another quarter of competitive growth, increasing organic revenue by 9%, EBIT by 13% and Core EPS by 16% at constant currency. 2025 capped a year of continued momentum across the Company: We further strengthened the balance sheet, and upgraded our guidance, while preparing the business through targeted investment for the next phase of growth. All of this leads to a proposed dividend of €1.05 per share, underscoring our commitment to creating shareholder value.

With #FutureFresenius we have transformed our Company, positioning ourselves to deliver future success in a new world order. Looking ahead, we enter 2026 with strong foundations and clear priorities. We are confident in our ability to deliver profitable, sustainable growth with the guidance of organic revenue growth of 4% to 7% and constant currency Core EPS growth of 5% to 10%, while continuing to create long term value across the healthcare ecosystem for patients, customers, partners, and shareholders.”

Guidance for Fiscal Year 20261

Fresenius Group6: organic revenue growth2 in the range of 4% to 7%; constant currency Core EPS1,4 growth expected in the range of 5% to 10%;
EBIT margin9 of ~11.5%.

Fresenius Kabi7: organic revenue growth3 in the mid- to high-single-digit percentage range; EBIT margin1 of 16.5% to 17.0%.
Structural EBIT margin1 ambition raised to 17% to 19% (previously 16% to 18%) following Kabi’s rigorous strategy execution leading to consistent margin expansion over the past several years.

Fresenius Helios8: organic revenue growth in the mid-single-digit percentage range; EBIT margin of 10.0% to 10.5%.

Assumptions to guidance: The company acknowledges that the prevailing trends of fast-moving macroeconomic and geopolitical environment continue, resulting in increased volatility and a higher level of operational uncertainty. The guidance does not take into account potential extreme scenarios that could affect the company, its peers, and the healthcare sector as a whole. Potential implications of the United States Supreme Court ruling as of February 20, 2026, are currently being evaluated but cannot be fully assessed at this stage and are hence not reflected in the FY/26 guidance. 

Dividend proposal of €1.05 per share reflects capital allocation priorities

Fresenius remains fully commitment to delivering attractive shareholder returns. For fiscal year 2025, the Company will propose a dividend of €1.05 per share. This corresponds to a payout ratio of 37%, at the upper half of the 30% to 40% range of core net income1,4, as specified in the Fresenius Financial Framework.
 

Fresenius Group – Business development FY and Q4/2025

FY/25: Strong performance despite significant macroeconomic headwinds; twice upgraded guidance delivered.

Organic revenue1 grew 7%2 reaching the top-end of the 5% to 7% guide while the 6%3 constant currency Group EBIT growth before special items secured the midpoint of the guided range of 4% to 8%. The Company achieved this despite significant headwinds including the impact from the absence of energy relief funding at Fresenius Helios, the Volume Based Procurement (VBP) of the nutrition product Ketosteril in China at Fresenius Kabi, as well as FX effects and U.S. tariffs.

Q4/25: Closing the year with an outstanding quarter which led to an increase of Group organic revenue1 growth of 9%2 and revenues reaching €5,875 million.

Group EBIT before special items amounted to €713 million, a significant acceleration with an increase of 13%3 in constant currency fuelled by Fresenius Kabi’s continued powerful operating performance and the expected strong development at Fresenius Helios. The strong acceleration at Helios is due to the very strong top-line development and was supported by strong execution on the Performance Program in Q4/25 as well as the positive effects from the surcharge on invoices of publicly insured patients recognized under other operating income. At Kabi, the operating leverage and additional productivity gains more than compensated the impact from the VBP of the nutrition product Ketosteril in China, and some targeted investments.

Group EBIT margin1 improved by 40 bp to 12.1%.

Group Core net income1,4 increased by 16%3 in constant currency to €440 million strongly outpacing revenue growth. The good operating performance of both, Fresenius Kabi and Fresenius Helios, further productivity gains as well as the decreased year-over-year interest expenses drove this performance.

Group Core earnings per share1,4 rose by 16%3 in constant currency to €0.78.

 

Operating Companies – Business development FY and Q4/25

Fresenius Kabi

FY/25: Consistent financial performance delivered over the course of the year with excellent organic revenue growth of 7% at the top-end of the structural growth band and an EBIT margin expansion of 70 bps to 16.4%.

Q4/25: Strong finish to the year with organic growth well above the structural growth band of 4% to 7%; Growth Vectors driving the performance headed by continued Biopharma strength; EBIT margin reflects targeted investments, and year-end effects.

Organic revenue growth of 10%2 in Q4 driven by the Growth Vectors and led by Biopharma with strong product roll-outs; revenue rose to €2,214 million, making it the highest quarterly revenue amount in Fresenius Kabi’s history; growth as reported was significantly impacted by currency translation effects, primarily from the US Dollar and the Argentinian Peso.

  • Growth Vectors with 16% organic revenue2 growth; Biopharma 97%, MedTech 5%, and Nutrition 5%
    • Biopharma revenue: €265 million, mainly driven by the tocilizumab biosimilar Tyenne ramp up in Europe and the U.S.; uptake of Otulfi with first sales from the exclusive distribution agreement with CivicaScript in the U.S.
    • MedTech revenue: €425 million with broad-based growth across all regions and segments, Transfusion & Cell Therapy (TCT) and Infusion and Nutrition Systems (INS) both showed solid growth.
    • Nutrition revenue: €602 million driven by strong underlying growth in Europe and Latin America; more than offset the impact from the VBP tender on nutrition product Ketosteril in China.
  • Pharma revenue: €922 million, organic revenue increased by 2%2 driven by Europe, with good volumes and price mix; U.S. volume growth more than compensated for pricing pressures.
  • EBIT1 of Fresenius Kabi increased to €349 million or 7%3 at constant currency. The performance reflected the operating leverage and the benefit of productivity gains that more than offset the impact of the Ketosteril tender in China and the adverse impact from U.S. tariffs, particularly in MedTech. The performance in the quarter also reflected targeted investments. The EBIT margin1 was 15.8%.
  • EBIT1 of the Growth Vectors increased by 19%3 in constant currency and amounted to €199 million; EBIT margin1 improved by 70 bps to 15.4%, making further progress toward Kabi’s structural margin band target.
  • EBIT1 of Pharma increased 2%3 in constant currency to €189 million driven by Europe and the U.S. as well as by ongoing cost efficiencies. EBIT margin1 at 20.5%.

Fresenius Helios

FY/25: Fresenius Helios delivered organic revenue growth of 7% driven by solid activity growth and favourable pricing in Germany and Spain;
EBIT margin1 of 9.8% consistent with the target for FY/25.

Q4/25: Fresenius Helios with very strong organic revenue growth and outstanding year-on-year margin improvement. 

8% organic revenue growth in Q4 mainly driven by year-over-year activity levels increase at both, Helios Germany and Helios Spain, and positive pricing; revenue increased by 8% in constant currency to €3,546 million.

  • Helios Germany’s organic revenue growth at 6%, reflecting good admission growth and positive pricing; revenues at €2,055 million.
  • Helios Spain with organic revenue growth of 11% to €1,491 million driven by strong activity levels and end-of-year payor settlements.
  • EBIT1 of Fresenius Helios at €416 million with 22% growth at constant currency. The acceleration at Helios reflects the very strong top-line development and was fuelled by the significant ramp up of the Performance Program in Q4/25 and the positive effects from the surcharge on invoices of publicly insured patient in Germany recognized under other operating income. EBIT margin1 of Fresenius Helios improved by 130 bp to 11.7%.
  • EBIT1 of Helios Germany increased by 52% to €194 million reflecting the significant ramp up of the Performance Program in Q4/25 and the positive effects from the surcharge on invoices of publicly insured patient in Germany; EBIT margin1 improved by 280 bp to 9.4% compared to Q4/2024.
  • EBIT1 of Helios Spain increased by 6% in constant currency to €224 million; EBIT margin1 at 15.0% reflects some year-end effects as well as the good topline development.

Our unrelenting focus on top-line growth, profitability and cash generation positions Sandoz well to deliver even more for patients and shareholders.

 

“We will build on this momentum in 2026. Alongside our launch program, we plan to extend patient access, expand the pipeline and make further efficiency gains. As we cement our leadership in affordable medicines, we have an excellent platform to meet the unprecedented opportunities ahead and deliver strong results in a high-growth, attractive market.”

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

2025 was a milestone year for Sandoz, marked by a wave of launches across biosimilars and generics, significant progress on the transformation journey and strong financial results. The biosimilars business continued to perform strongly, supported by major launches:

  • Pyzchiva® (ustekinumab) was launched in the US in February 2025, offering new treatment options for around 12 million patients with chronic inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The rollout included a full suite of dosing options and extended stability compared to the reference medicine
  • The Pyzchiva autoinjector was launched in Europe in May 2025, the first ustekinumab biosimilar in Europe available in a pre-filled pen, with an improved self-administration experience supporting better treatment adherence and quality of life
  • Wyost® & Jubbonti® (denosumab) were launched in the US in June 2025 as the first FDA[6]-approved interchangeable denosumab biosimilars, providing affordable treatment options for osteoporosis and cancer-related skeletal events, cementing Sandoz’s leadership in oncology and immunology biosimilars
  • Tyruko® (natalizumab) was launched in the US in November 2025 as the first and only multiple-sclerosis biosimilar, approved for all indications of the reference medicine
  • Afqlir® (aflibercept) was launched in Europe in November 2025, offering an affordable-treatment option for retinal diseases such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration, expanding Sandoz’s presence in the ~USD 15 billion anti-VEGF[7] market
  • Wyost & Jubbonti were launched in Europe in December 2025

In November 2025, Sandoz signed a global license agreement with EirGenix Inc. to commercialize a proposed biosimilar of pertuzumab for HER2‑positive early and metastatic breast cancer, a market worth approximately USD 4.1 billion[8], strengthening the Company’s oncology portfolio and complementing its trastuzumab biosimilars.

 

In December 2025, Sandoz completed the strategic acquisition of Just-Evotec Biologics EU SAS, including a site in Toulouse, France, expanding in-house development and manufacturing capabilities. In addition, Sandoz acquired an indefinite license to Just-Evotec Biologics, Inc.’s cutting-edge continuous-manufacturing technology. These acquisitions complemented ongoing investments in Slovenia, as Sandoz builds a vertically integrated European biosimilar development and manufacturing network.

 

In 2025, Sandoz increased the availability of affordable medicines through several important generic launches, including rivaroxaban in Germany, expanding access to high-quality antithrombotic treatment options with multiple dosage forms. In September 2025, Sandoz launched its iron-sucrose injection in the US, broadening access to affordable treatment for iron-deficiency anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease and complementing its injectable iron-therapy portfolio.

 

The Sandoz pipeline is industry‑leading, with 27 biosimilar assets and around 400 generics in development, targeting around USD 420 billion in originator sales. In 2025, the pipeline benefited from positive shifts in regulatory streamlining across key biosimilar programs – developments that are expected to deliver meaningful advantages for both patients and Sandoz.

 

 

FULL-YEAR 2026 GUIDANCE

Sandoz anticipates an acceleration of net-sales growth in 2026, partly reflecting the expected performance of recently launched biosimilars. This growth, alongside a favorable movement in the mix of sales, further operating efficiencies and cost discipline, is expected to result in expansion in the core EBITDA margin.

As a result, the Company provides its financial guidance for 2026:

  • Net sales to grow at CC by a mid to high single-digit percentage
  • Core EBITDA-margin expansion of around 100 basis points

No material contribution from any potential launch of generic semaglutide is expected in 2026, while overall pricing is expected to decline by a low to mid single‑digit percentage. The guidance excludes any impacts of unforeseen events or unconfirmed developments, including the imposition of new tariffs emanating from the US government.

 

 

PENICILLINS: TRADE DISTORTION

As part of its vertically integrated penicillins production, the Company sells certain amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to other businesses. The imposition of tariffs by the US government in 2025 led to reduced exports from China to the US, prompting Chinese suppliers to significantly lower global prices for key penicillin APIs, including 6‑Aminopenicillanic acid (6‑APA), the foundational compound for all penicillins. This price decline coincided with an increase in global market supply. These dynamics adversely impacted the Sandoz generics net-sales performance in H2 2025; a similar impact is expected in the first half of 2026. No imminent return to prior market conditions is anticipated.

 

The recently announced introduction of a minimum import price of 6‑APA in India is expected to curb the inflow of low‑priced imports, primarily from China, and support the domestic fermentation‑based antibiotic production in India. This risks a diversion of the supply of low-cost 6-APA towards Europe, which continues to depend on Asia for key intermediates.

Net-sales growth was primarily driven by the strong performance of biosimilars, which continued to benefit from an extensive pipeline and launch program.

  

Generics overview

Net sales of generics amounted to USD 7.8 billion, reflecting growth of 2% at CC and CGR. Generics represented 70% of net sales in the year (FY 2024: 72%).

 

The increase in net sales of generics in Europe of 2% at CC and CGR was driven by the impact of launches in 2024 and 2025. International net sales of generics grew by 2% at CC and by 4% at CGR, after adjusting for the 2024 divestment of the Sandoz business in China; sales benefited from continued price increases and launches. In North America, net sales of generics were stable at CC and CGR, with the impact of strong levels of competition offset by the impact of the successful Q4 2024 US launch of paclitaxel, as well as a good performance in Canada.

 

 

Biosimilars overview

Net sales of biosimilars amounted to USD 3.3 billion in the year, reflecting growth of 13% at CC and 18% at CGR; biosimilars represented 30% of total net sales (FY 2024: 28%).

 

Strong Europe biosimilars net-sales growth of 14% at CC and CGR reflected several good performances, including Pyzchiva, Binocrit® (epoetin alfa) and Hyrimoz® (adalimumab). Afqlir, Wyost & Jubbonti were launched in Europe in Q4 2025. International biosimilar net-sales growth of 30% at CC and CGR reflected strong contributions from Omnitrope® (somatropin) and Hyrimoz. Wyost & Jubbonti were launched in Q3 2025 in the International region. North America biosimilar net sales grew by 2% at CC and by 19% at CGR, with the difference reflecting the withdrawal of Cimerli® (ranibizumab) in Q1 2025. The strong underlying performance was partly a result of the successful launch of Wyost & Jubbonti in Q2 2025. Tyruko was launched in the US in Q4 2025.

Core gross profit amounted to USD 5.6 billion (FY 2024: USD 5.3 billion), resulting in a core gross-profit margin of 50.6% (FY 2024: 50.7%). A favorable mix of sales, reflecting double-digit biosimilars growth, and operational improvements were offset by the impacts of inflation on the cost of goods sold and price erosion.

 

Core EBITDA was USD 2.4 billion (FY 2024: USD 2.1 billion), resulting in a core EBITDA margin of 21.7% (FY 2024: 20.1%). The increase in the margin was partly driven by the impacts of cost discipline on selling, general & administrative expenses and favorable other income and expenses, partly offset by growth in development & regulatory investment.

 

EBITDA was USD 1,980 million (FY 2024: USD 820 million). Core adjustments of EBITDA in the year were USD 425 million (FY 2024: USD 1,260 million). These adjustments primarily reflected separation costs of USD 336 million, costs of the rationalization of internal manufacturing sites of USD 92 million, software-implementation cost-accounting impacts of USD 43 million and favorable effects from adjustments for legal costs of USD 58 million.

The core net financial result was an expense of USD 219 million (FY 2024: expense of USD 325 million). The decline reflected an improved net-currency result, as well as lower net interest expenses mainly driven by the repayment of EUR and USD term loans and local debt.

 

The core effective tax rate was 15.3% (FY 2024: 21.4%), a reflection of changes in the mix of profit, adjustments to provisions for uncertain tax positions and the reorganization of the intellectual-property structure within the Company.

 

Core net income of USD 1.6 billion (FY 2024: USD 1.2 billion) primarily reflected an increase in core operating income, and a decline in the core net financial result and in core income taxes.

 

Core diluted earnings per share of USD 3.64 (FY 2024: USD 2.71) benefited from an increase in core net income. The weighted average number of shares diluted was 436.8 million as of December 31, 2025, versus 434.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

Sandoz generated net cash flows from operating activities of USD 1,594 million (FY 2024: USD 656 million). This was mainly driven by an increase in operating income and stable net working-capital levels versus December 31, 2024.

 

Cash flows used for capital expenditures were USD 711 million (FY 2024: USD 554 million), reflecting an increase in purchases of property, plant & equipment and intangible assets. This included the Company’s ongoing investments in Slovenia, namely a new biosimilar drug-substance production center in Lendava, a biosimilar-development center in Ljubljana and a new production plant in Brnik. It also included separation-related investments in facilities and technology.

 

Free cash flow amounted to USD 874 million (FY 2024: USD 98 million). The improvement was mainly due to increased net cash flows from operating activities, partly offset by the growth in cash flows used for net capital expenditures.

 

Management free cash flow, defined as free cash flow adjusted for one-off items, amounted to
USD 1,547 million (FY 2024: USD 1,112 million). The performance was primarily a result of the growth in core EBITDA.

Net working capital remained broadly stable year‑on‑year, despite strong sales growth. Total inventories increased by USD 45 million, with lower levels of inventory more than offset by currency-translation effects. Trade receivables increased by USD 303 million, with trade payables up by USD 331 million, primarily reflecting currency-translation effects.

 

Non-current financial debts and derivative financial instruments increased by USD 310 million, a reflection of the issuance of three bonds in the first half of 2025, totalling EUR 500 million and CHF 400 million, respectively and currency-translation effects. This was partly offset by the repayment of USD 750 million equivalent in USD and EUR term loans, as well as the reclassification of USD 504 million from non-current to current financial debts of a CHF-denominated bond, maturing in 2026.

 

Current financial debts and derivative financial instruments increased by USD 469 million, primarily a result of the reclassification of USD 504 million from non-current to current financial debts.

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased by USD 548 million, as cash generated from operating activities and proceeds from the issuance of non-current financial debts were partly offset by the repayment of term loans, the annual dividend payment, purchases of property, plant & equipment, purchases of intangible assets and the acquisition of Just-Evotec Biologics EU SAS.

 

As a result, net debt increased to USD 3,563 million (December 31, 2024: USD 3,329 million), mainly driven by currency-translation effects of USD 442 million. Excluding these effects, net debt amounted to USD 3,121 million. An increase in core ROIC to 14.5% (FY 2024: 12.3%) was a result of strong growth in core operating income and a lower core effective tax rate.

 

 

DIVIDEND

A dividend of CHF 0.60 per share in respect of the 2024 financial year was approved by the Annual General Meeting on April 15, 2025, and paid. A dividend proposal of CHF 0.80 per share in respect of the 2025 financial year, representing 27% of core net income, is subject to approval at the Annual General Meeting on April 9, 2026.

[2] Non-IFRS measures are defined in the Supplementary financial information section of the Integrated Annual Report 2025.

[3] Sandoz defines the comparable growth rate (CGR) as the growth rate of net sales at CC excluding the effects of material acquisitions and divestments. In the case of divestments, net sales are excluded for the corresponding period. Similarly, for acquisitions, the relevant net sales are excluded for the corresponding period. Material acquisitions and divestments are transactions in scope of significant transactions in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Sandoz believes the presentation of CGR is meaningful for management and investors to evaluate the performance of the business over time.

[10] In FY 2025, other payments and receipts included the disbursements from qualified settlement funds relating to government generic-pricing antitrust investigations, antitrust class actions, opioid litigations in the US, and the payment for a technology acquisition from Just-Evotec Biologics, Inc. In
FY 2024, other payments and receipts included two deposited settlement amounts of USD 233 million and USD 275 million, related to government generic-pricing antitrust investigations and antitrust class actions in the US.

[11] Amortization of intangible assets: cost of goods sold includes the amortization of rights to currently marketed products and other production-related intangible assets.

[12] Impairments: cost of goods sold and development and regulatory include impairment charges related to intangible assets.

[13] Acquisition or divestment of businesses and related items: other income includes a release related to the China business divestment; other expense includes costs related to the Just-Evotec Biologics EU SAS acquisition.

[14] Other items: cost of goods sold, other income and other expense include the Company-wide rationalization of manufacturing sites; cost of goods sold, selling general and administration, development and regulatory, other income and other expense include the separation costs related to the spin-off; cost of goods sold, selling general and administration, development and regulatory, other income and other expense include the costs related to the transformation program and other restructuring charges; other income and other expense include legal-related charges and adjustments to contingent consideration; selling, general and administration includes software implementation cost accounting impacts; other expense includes an onerous contract adjustment; other financial income and expense includes the net monetary impacts on the restatement of non-monetary items for subsidiaries in hyperinflationary economies.

[15] For further breakdown of core adjustments by category, refer to table ‘Reconciliation from IFRS operating income to core net income’.

[16] Taxes on the adjustments between IFRS and core results take into account, for each individual item included in the adjustment, the tax rate that will finally, be applicable to the item based on the jurisdiction where the adjustment will finally have a tax impact. Generally, this results in amortization and impairment of intangible assets and acquisition-related restructuring and integration items having a full tax impact. There is usually a tax impact on other items, although this is not always the case for items arising from legal settlements in certain jurisdictions. Due to these factors and the differing applicable tax rates in the various jurisdictions, the tax on the total adjustments of USD 668 million to arrive at the core results before tax amounts to USD -7 million. The average tax rate on the adjustments was not meaningful.
