Notice of the Revised Forecast of Consolidated Financials for FY2025 (IFRS)

OSAKA, Japan, October 30, 2025 – Takeda (TSE:4502/NYSE:TAK) today announced the revised forecast of the full year consolidated financials for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (FY2025), as below.

 

Takeda’s fiscal year 2025 first half results are consistent with our expectations for core business progress in this year of transition to a new phase focusing on new product launches. Our updated full-year outlook reflects impairment charges associated with strategic pipeline decisions taken in Q2, as well as transactional FX.

  1. Reasons for Revision

Takeda expects FY2025 revenue to be JPY 4,500.0 billion, a decrease of JPY 30.0 billion, or 0.7%, from the original forecast, mainly reflecting a revised forecast for ENTYVIO and a steeper than anticipated decline in VYVANSE sales in the U.S. due to generic erosion. These factors are partially offset by favorable overall changes in the assumptions of foreign exchange rates.

The Core Revenue forecast has been revised in the same way as the Revenue forecast.

 

Operating Profit is expected to decrease by JPY 75.0 billion, or 15.8%, from the original forecast to JPY 400.0 billion, primarily due to an unfavorable product mix as a result of lower revenue from high margin products, headwinds from transactional foreign exchange rates for certain products, and an increased forecast of impairment losses on intangible assets associated with products. These factors are expected to be partially offset by additional cost savings within R&D, including from pipeline prioritization and the enterprise-wide efficiency program, with such savings anticipated to broadly materialize as reductions in operating expenses.

Core Operating Profit is expected to be JPY 1,130.0 billion, a decrease of JPY 10.0 billion, or 0.9%.

 

Net Profit for the Year (attributable to owners of the Company) is expected to be JPY 153.0 billion, a decrease of JPY 75.0 billion, or 32.9%, from the original forecast. Profit Before Tax is expected to decrease by JPY 64.0 billion, or 20.8%, to JPY 243.0 billion, primarily due to the decrease in Operating Profit, while net finance expenses are expected to decrease by JPY 11.0 billion, or 6.6%, to JPY 156.0 billion. While Profit Before Tax is expected to decrease, the tax expense is anticipated to remain at a similar level to the original forecast due to an increase of non-deductible expenses mainly from impairments as well as derecognition of deferred tax assets, resulting in an assumed effective tax rate of approximately 37%.

Reported EPS is expected to be JPY 97.14, a decrease of JPY 47.66, or 32.9%, and Core EPS is expected to be JPY 479, a decrease of JPY 6, or 1.2%.

 

  1. Management Guidance for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2026

Takeda uses change in Core Revenue, Core Operating Profit and Core EPS at Constant Exchange Rate (CER) basis as its Management Guidance. The full year management guidance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (FY2025) has been revised from the management guidance announced on May 8, 2025.

About Formycon:
Formycon AG (FSE: FYB) is a leading, independent developer of high-quality biosimilars, follow-on products of biopharmaceutical medicines. The company focuses on therapies in ophthalmology, immunology, immuno-oncology and other key disease areas, covering almost the entire value chain from technical development through clinical trials to approval by the regulatory authorities. For commercialization of its biosimilars, Formycon relies on strong, well-trusted and long-term partnerships worldwide. With FYB201/ranibizumab and FYB202/ustekinumab, Formycon already has two biosimilars on the market. Another biosimilar, FYB203/aflibercept, has been approved by the FDA, EMA, and MHRA. Four pipeline candidates are currently in development. With its biosimilars, Formycon is making an important contribution to providing as many patients as possible with access to highly effective and affordable medicines.

Formycon AG is headquartered in Munich, listed in the Prime Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange: FYB / ISIN: DE000A1EWVY8 / WKN: A1EWVY and is part of the SDAX selection index. Further information can be found at: https://www.formycon.com/

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.

Sandoz delivers a further acceleration in sales growth; full-year margin guidance upgraded

Basel, October 30, 2025 – Sandoz (SIX: SDZ / OTCQX: SDZNY), the global leader in affordable medicines, today presents its net-sales performance for the nine months and third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

  • 9M net sales of USD 8,057 million
  • up by 5% at constant currencies (CC1) and in USD; up by 6% at comparable growth rates (CGR2). Volume growth of 8%
  • ten largest-selling medicines grew by combined 9% at CC and represented 34% of net sales
  • Q3 net sales of USD 2,825 million
  • up by 6% at CC and by 9% in USD, respectively; up by 7% at CGR. Volume growth of 8%
  • biosimilars represented more than 30% of net sales for first time
  • All regions in growth at CC in both periods. Europe 9M net sales grew by 6% at CC, while International was up by 4% at CC (by 6% when adjusted2 for 2024 China divestment). North America grew by 1% at CC (by 7% when adjusted2 for Cimerli acquisition)
  • Successful launches so far this year, in line with roadmap: primarily in US, including Wyost® & Jubbonti® (denosumab) and Pyzchiva® (ustekinumab)
  • Anticipated biosimilar launches in fourth quarter include European rollouts of Wyost & Jubbonti and Afqlir® (aflibercept), as well as Tyruko® (natalizumab) in US
  • Full-year 2025 guidance: mid-single-digit net-sales growth at CC (unchanged); a core EBITDA margin of 21-22% (prior guidance: around 21%)

 

Richard Saynor, Chief Executive Officer of Sandoz, commented: “The third quarter once again demonstrated the ability of Sandoz to deliver on its commitments and execute against the strategic roadmap. Our comprehensive launch program is helping us expand access to affordable medicines for more patients.

Looking ahead, Sandoz is well-positioned to capitalize on significant growth opportunities, and we control our ability to seize them. We are making strong progress in building our biosimilar infrastructure, advancing our pipeline, and strengthening our capabilities, all supported by consistent financial performance. These are the reasons I am so confident in a Sandoz future reflected in compelling growth that underpins our Purpose to pioneer access for patients.”

 

FULL-YEAR 2025 GUIDANCE
The Company has updated its 2025 financial guidance today:

  • FY 2025 net sales to grow by a mid-single-digit percentage at CC (unchanged)
  • a core EBITDA margin in FY 2025 of 21-22% (prior guidance: around 21%)

This guidance excludes any impacts of unforeseen events or unconfirmed developments, such as significant further potential trade tariffs emanating from the US government.

 

Remco Steenbergen, Chief Financial Officer of Sandoz, commented: “The upgrade in our guidance for the year particularly reflects the success of our biosimilars and the excellence in execution by colleagues around the world. Our ambition is unrelenting; we aim to fully exploit the many opportunities ahead which we believe will deliver sustained strong results over the long term.”

 

 

US SETTLEMENT: AFLIBERCEPT
Sandoz recently announced that it has reached an agreement with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., to resolve all patent disputes between the two companies relating to the US FDA-approved Sandoz aflibercept biosimilar. Under the terms of the agreement, Sandoz may enter the US market with a biosimilar version of Eylea® in the fourth quarter of 2026, or earlier in certain circumstances.

 

PENICILLINS: TRADE DISTORTION
As part of its vertically integrated penicillins production, the Company sells certain amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to other businesses. Recently, the imposition of tariffs by the US government has led to reduced exports from China to the US, prompting Chinese suppliers to significantly lower prices for key penicillin APIs, including 6-APA, the foundational compound for all penicillins. This price drop has coincided with an increase in market supply.

 

As the last remaining fully vertically integrated penicillins producer in Europe, Sandoz is pleased to see growing recognition by policymakers of the need for sustainable European supply, but more action is required. The Company calls on the European Union and national governments to implement measures that reduce geopolitical exposure and safeguard long-term sustainability of European-produced penicillins.

9M net sales were USD 8,057 million, up by 5% at CC and by 6% at CGR. Volumes grew by 8%, partly offset by price erosion of 3%; this decline was in line with a full-year assumption of low to mid-single-digit erosion. Net-sales growth was primarily driven by the performance of biosimilars, which continue to benefit from an extensive pipeline and launch program.

 

Generics overview

Net sales of generics in the first nine months were USD 5,699 million, reflecting growth of 2% at CC and CGR. Generics represented 71% of net sales (9M 2024: 73%, Q3 2025: 69%).

 

The increase in 9M net sales of generics in Europe was driven by the impact of launches in 2024 and 2025. International net sales of generics grew, after adjusting for the 2024 divestment of the Sandoz business in China. In North America, generics net-sales growth benefited from the successful Q4 2024 launch of paclitaxel.

 

Biosimilars overview

Net sales of biosimilars of USD 2,358 million in the first nine months reflected growth of 12% at CC and 17% at CGR. Biosimilars represented 29% of total net sales (9M 2024: 27%, Q3 2025: 31%).

 

Strong Europe biosimilars 9M net-sales growth at CC benefited from several good performances, including Pyzchiva and Tyruko, while excellent International biosimilar net-sales growth reflected the strong contribution from Omnitrope® (somatropin) and Hyrimoz® (adalimumab). Wyost and Jubbonti were launched in Q3 2025 in the International region.

 

North America biosimilar net sales declined at CC, reflecting the withdrawal of Cimerli in Q1 2025 and the impact of private-label adalimumab pricing dynamics; excluding the effect of the withdrawal, North America biosimilar net sales grew by a double-digit percentage at CC, partly a result of the strong launch of Wyost and Jubbonti.

Europe overview

9M net sales in Europe were USD 4,362 million, reflecting growth of 6% at CC and CGR. Europe 9M net sales of generics grew at CC, strongly surpassed by the performance of biosimilars. Notable growth included that from Pyzchiva and Tyruko.

International overview

9M net sales in International amounted to USD 1,943 million, with good growth of 4% at CC and 6% at CGR. International net sales of generics declined at CC but grew at CGR, with an exceptional biosimilars result driven by the strong performances of Omnitrope and Hyrimoz.

 

North America overview

9M net sales in North America were USD 1,752 million, reflecting an increase of 1% at CC. Growth at CGR however, namely excluding the impact of the acquisition of Cimerli, amounted to 7%. The increase in North America net sales of generics was driven by the successful Q4 2024 launch of paclitaxel, as well as continued strong growth in Canada, while the region delivered strong biosimilar net-sales growth at CGR.

[2] 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. In this announcement, adjustments relate to the impact of the 2024 acquisition of biosimilar Cimerli® (ranibizumab) and the 2024 divestment of the Sandoz business in China.

Mallia Will Pitch as Falling Walls Finalist, Heads to BIO-Europe Ahead of Upcoming Product Launch

Erlangen, Germany, October 29, 2025 – Mallia Innovations GmbH, the holding company strategically driving the development and commercialization of biopharmaceutical therapies targeting hair loss and wound healing as well as cosmetic applications for hair growth, and its subsidiaries inform about important events in November.

Falling Walls Science Summit: November 6 – 9 in Berlin, Germany

Prof. Dr. Alexander Steinkasserer, Co-founder and Managing Director of Mallia Therapeutics, will pitch on November 6 as a finalist in the Falling Walls Venture category Science Start-Up.

Mallia Therapeutics has been selected as one of 25 finalists out of over 200 applications across 37 countries at the Falling Walls Science Summit 2025, the international and interdisciplinary forum for global science leaders in Berlin, for its pioneering work at the intersection of immunology and aesthetics. Mallia Therapeutic’s approach translates decades of sCD83 research into novel therapies for hair loss and wound healing. The Company is focusing on the clinical development of novel therapies for patients suffering from androgenetic alopecia or alopecia areata.

The winner, selected by an expert jury, will be awarded the title ‘Science Breakthrough of the Year‘.

BIO-Europe 2025: November 3 – 5 in Vienna, Austria
Dr. Manfred Gröppel, Co-founder and Managing Director of Mallia Innovations, will be on site. Schedule meetings through the partneringONE system or reach out via e-mail.

At the same time, Mallia Aesthetics is gearing up for its upcoming product launch of 8T3 Essentials Hair Serum and 8T3 Essentials Lash & Brow Serum. Both serums are based on a proprietary derivative of the human soluble CD83 protein. Sign up for Mallia’s newsletter to be among the first to find out when the products launch and to receive a discount on your first order.

 

About sCD83

Soluble CD83 (sCD83) is an immunomodulatory protein that is currently being developed for the topical treatment of hair loss (MAL‑856) and stimulation of hair growth (MAL‑838). The soluble CD83 protein was first identified in 2001 by Mallia co-founder Prof. Steinkasserer. It has anti-inflammatory properties via the induction of resolution of inflammation, which promotes wound healing and induces new hair growth.[1] In addition, sCD83 has been shown to activate regulatory T cells (Tregs)[2], which interact directly with hair follicles and can activate them.[3]Furthermore, sCD83 inhibits cell death of hair follicles and directly activates follicular stem cells, as well as keratin production, thereby stimulating new hair growth. This multimodal mode of action distinguishes sCD83 from other topically applied hair growth agents.

Topically applied, sCD83 can directly reach the hair follicles but does not penetrate through the skin and thus does not enter the bloodstream. The effect is localized, which is a major advantage over systemic treatment options, which can cause severe side effects.

 

About hair loss

Hormone-related hair loss in men and women (androgenetic alopecia, or AGA) is the most common form of hair loss. Worldwide, more than 70% of men and 50% of women post menopause are affected by androgenetic alopecia. Another 147 million people suffer from immune-related, circular hair loss (alopecia areata, or AA[4],[5]).

Androgenetic alopecia usually progresses gradually and is due to genetic and hormonal factors. In men, it often leads to a receding hairline and baldness on the top of the head, while in women it causes thinning hair in the parting area. Alopecia areata causes circular hair loss on the scalp, face or other parts of the body. It occurs when the immune system erroneously attacks hair follicles, leading to immune-mediated hair loss.

 

About Mallia

Mallia Innovations GmbH, based in Erlangen, Germany, is the holding company strategically driving the proprietary development and commercialization of biopharmaceutical therapies and cosmetic applications of the immunomodulatory sCD83 protein, targeting hair growth, hair loss and other dermatological indications, including wound healing.

Mallia Therapeutics GmbH focuses on the clinical development of novel therapies for patients suffering from androgenetic alopecia or alopecia areata, among other conditions. MAL-856 is based on the scientifically proven immunomodulatory mode of action of sCD83, which has been investigated for close to 25 years by Mallia Co‑founder Prof. Dr Alexander Steinkasserer.[6]

Mallia Aesthetics GmbH focuses on cosmetic applications for the stimulation of hair growth, which are also based on the scientifically validated sCD83 protein. The Company develops Innovative cosmetic products using MAL-838 that will be marketed to specialists and consumers.

About Immunic, Inc.

Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX) is a biotechnology company developing a clinical pipeline of orally administered, small molecule therapies for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune 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.

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


Dräger with strong demand, noticeable net sales growth and very good earnings performance in the first nine months of 2025

  • Order intake significantly increased
  • Net sales growth in both divisions and all regions
  • EBIT up substantially excluding positive one-off effects in the prior year
  • Considerable increase in net sales and earnings in the third quarter
  • Annual forecast: net sales and EBIT margin expected to be in the upper half of the range

Lübeck – Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA significantly increased its order intake in the first nine months of 2025 thanks to strong demand. At around EUR 2,594 million, order intake exceeded the high prior-year figure by around EUR 174 million (9 months 2024: EUR 2,420.5 million). Net sales increased by around EUR 48 million to around EUR 2,344 million (9 months 2024: EUR 2,295.1 million). At EUR 77.1 million, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) did not reach the prior year’s figure (9 months 2024: EUR 80.1 million), but this was mainly due to the positive one-off effects in the prior year. The EBIT margin amounted to 3.3 percent (9 months 2024: 3.5 percent).

“Demand for our ‘Technology for Life’ was significantly higher in the first nine months of 2025 than the prior year’s high level. The last time we had such a strong order intake after three quarters was in our record year 2020,” says Stefan Dräger, Chairman of the Executive Board of Drägerwerk Verwaltungs AG. “Net sales have also increased noticeably. Our earnings have also developed very well. Despite the absence of positive one-off effects and the headwinds from US tariffs and unfavorable exchange rates, we almost matched the prior year’s result. This shows that we are making progress in improving our profitability.”

Order intake significantly increased
In the first nine months of 2025, the Group’s order intake increased by 9.0 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 2,594.1 million (9 months 2024: EUR 2,420.5 million). This was due to good demand in both divisions and all regions.

In the medical division, order intake rose by 11.6 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 1,495.5 million (9 months 2024: EUR 1,368.5 million). The main driver was the high demand for our ventilators, anesthesia machines, services, and consumables. In the second quarter, we also received a major multi-year order for hospital infrastructure systems from Mexico.

The safety division continued its order growth. Order intake increased by 5.7 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 1,098.6 million (9 months 2024: EUR 1,052.1 million). The biggest growth drivers were gas detection, respiratory and personal protection products, and engineered solutions.

Net sales growth in both divisions and all regions
Group net sales rose by 3.7 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 2,343.5 million in the first nine months of 2025 (9 months 2024: EUR 2,295.1 million). Both divisions grew: the medical division recorded growth of 4.7 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 1,322.3 million (9 months 2024: EUR 1,285.3 million), while the safety division increased its net sales by 2.4 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 1,021.2 million (9 months 2024: EUR 1,009.7 million). All regions contributed to growth at both Group and division level.

Earnings up substantially excluding positive one-off effects in the prior year
The gross margin rose by 0.7 percentage points to 45.1 percent in the first nine months of 2025 (9 months 2024: 44.4 percent). The margin improvement in the medical division was stronger than in the safety division.

At EUR 77.1 million, our EBIT did not reach the prior year’s level (9 months 2024: EUR 80.1 million). This was mainly due to positive one-off effects of around EUR 30 million in the prior year: in the second quarter of 2024, Dräger sold a non-strategic business area in the Netherlands and a property in the USA for a total of around EUR 20 million; in addition, a building in Spain was sold for around EUR 10 million in the third quarter of 2024. Currency and tariff effects also had a negative impact on earnings in the first nine months of 2025. Adjusted for these effects, our EBIT would have significantly exceeded the prior year’s figure.

Business development in the third quarter
In the third quarter, order intake increased by 6.9 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 856.1 million (Q3 2024: EUR 816.2 million). The medical division recorded growth of 5.4 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 484.7 million (Q3 2024: EUR 468.4 million). In the safety division, order intake increased by 8.8 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 371.4 million (Q3 2024: EUR 347.8 million).

Dräger’s net sales increased significantly by 10.1 percent (net of currency effects) to EUR 833.3 million (Q3 2024: EUR 774.6 million). Both divisions and all regions recorded growth. The gross margin increased by 2.1 percentage points to 45.6 percent (Q3 2024: 43.5 percent). EBIT more than doubled to EUR 56.7 million (Q3 2024: EUR 24.4 million) despite the negative effects mentioned above. The EBIT margin also increased significantly by 3.7 percentage points to 6.8 percent (Q3 2024: 3.1 percent).

Annual forecast: net sales and EBIT margin expected to be in the upper half of the range
For the current fiscal year, Dräger now tends to expect net sales growth of 3.0 to 5.0 percent net of currency effects (previously 1.0 to 5.0 percent net of currency effects) and an EBIT margin of 4.5 to 6.5 percent (previously 3.5 to 6.5 percent).

“The excellent order development and the increasing sales momentum make us optimistic for the further course of business this year,” says Stefan Dräger.

Basel, October 29, 2025: In the third quarter of 2025, the Straumann Group achieved revenue of CHF 602.2 million, representing 8.3% organic growth compared with the prior-year period. For the first nine months of 2025, Group revenue amounted to CHF 2.0 billion, up 9.6% organically year on year. Growth momentum remained broad-based across regions. Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Latin America (LATAM) continued to deliver strong double-digit organic revenue growth, while North America (NAM) showed sequential improvement with a solid quarter. Asia Pacific (APAC) outside China was robust, whereas China has started to soften as patients are delaying treatment and distributors reduced inventories ahead of the expected VBP 2.0. 

 

Guillaume Daniellot, Chief Executive Officer, said:

“I am proud of our teams for driving strong progress across our businesses and for their ability to adapt to regional dynamics. Through our innovation and strong educational activities such as the EAO Congress, Esthetic Days and the DSO CEO Summit, we continued to strengthen our customer partnerships and gained positive momentum for our latest innovations.

 

We are excited about the transformation of our orthodontics business through new partnerships with Smartee and DentalMonitoring. These collaborations will enhance innovation, scalability and future profitability, allowing us to present a new value proposition to our customers and position Straumann Group as a stronger player in the orthodontics market.

 

A key milestone this quarter was the launch of the SIRIOS X3 intraoral scanner. Positioned in the mid-price segment, it provides excellent value and seamless integration with the Straumann AXS platform, serving as the entry point into Straumann Group’s digital ecosystem and enabling efficient, fully connected workflows across treatment disciplines.”

 

 

REGIONAL PERFORMANCEs

 

EMEA – Strong double-digit growth across key markets

EMEA achieved revenue of CHF 234.0 million (+11.2% organic). The region delivered double-digit growth across premium, challenger and digital segments. Straumann Group expanded its market leadership and continued gaining share even in mature markets such as Germany and Austria, supported by the successful rollout of the Straumann iEXCEL implant system. Northern Europe performed particularly well, with the UK, Benelux and Denmark among the key contributors. Distributor markets in Eastern Europe also showed solid momentum.

 

NAM – Strong quarter and accelerated growth

North America delivered revenue of CHF 161.6 million (+5.7% organic), marking solid growth in a still volatile environment. Premium and challenger brands gained traction, supported by commercial execution. Digital solutions including the SIRIOS intraoral scanner (IOS) and the new chairside workflow together with the MIDAS 3D printer continued to see strong demand, while patient flow showed pockets of improvement during the quarter.

 

APAC – Growth outside China; softer demand ahead of VBP 2.0 in China

APAC reported revenue of CHF 144.3 million (+3.2% organic). Growth outside China remained solid, led by India, Thailand, Australia and Japan. In China, growth was softer than expected due to cautious patient sentiment and inventory reductions by distributors ahead of the anticipated VBP 2.0, the second iteration of the public volume-based procurement expected to be implemented early next year. In September, Straumann Group inaugurated its manufacturing site in Shanghai, which is now ready for full production, strengthening its “China for China” strategy and positioning the company to meet demand after the VBP 2.0 implementation early next year.

 

LATAM – Consistent double-digit growth driven by Neodent and digital adoption

LATAM delivered revenue of CHF 62.3 million (+18.0% organic), maintaining double-digit growth. Brazil and Mexico were the main contributors, driven by Neodent and a continued shift towards digital workflows. Straumann Group’s focus on education and digital solutions such as SIRIOS and the new unique chairside workflow further supported customer conversion and workflow efficiency throughout the region.

 

 

STRATEGIC highlights

 

ClearCorrect – Partnerships with Smartee and DentalMonitoring to accelerate growth and profitability

To gain competitiveness in the clear aligner business Straumann Group is transforming its orthodontics business through strategic partnerships. First, the collaboration with Smartee adds an innovation-driven, cost-efficient and scalable production platform, enabling faster delivery, higher capacity and improved profitability while accelerating product development. In addition, the partnership with DentalMonitoring integrates remote treatment supervision and data analytics into Straumann Group’s digital ecosystem, increasing treatment efficiency and supporting broader adoption among general practitioners (GPs) as a key driver of differentiation and future growth in this business segment.

 

Innovation – launch of SIRIOS X3 complementing the IOS portfolio at all price points

In September, Straumann Group unveiled the new SIRIOS X3 intraoral scanner at the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO) Congress. The launch received highly positive feedback and has gained strong momentum across all regions. Positioned in the mid-price segment, SIRIOS X3 combines greater value with advanced performance and complements the Group’s portfolio alongside the high-end 3Shape intraoral scanners. It delivers higher speed, improved ergonomics and seamless integration with the Straumann AXS platform, enabling a fully digital chairside workflow from scanning and planning to same-day production with the MIDAS 3D printer. As an entry point into Straumann Group’s digital ecosystem, SIRIOS X3 supports a wide range of applications across implantology, prosthetics and orthodontics, providing clinicians with a simple and connected way to optimize their workflows. This innovation enhances clinical efficiency and ease of use and further strengthens Straumann Group’s leadership in digital dentistry.

 

Education – Showcasing innovation leadership and engaging clinicians worldwide

Straumann Group drew strong interest at the International Esthetic Days, the EAO Congress in Monaco and the DSO CEO Summit where its world premieres (including iEXCEL and SIRIOS X3) were presented to thousands of clinicians. These events highlighted Straumann’s ability to combine innovation and clinical excellence and once again confirmed its position as the industry leader in quality and innovation.

 

 

Outlook (barring unforeseen circumstances)

 

Building on its solid performance and ongoing investments in innovation, Straumann Group remains confident in its ability to achieve its financial targets for 2025 despite tariffs. The Group confirms its full-year 2025 outlook and expects high single-digit organic revenue growth and a 30 to 60 basis-point improvement of the core EBIT margin at constant 2024 currency rates.

 

This confidence is underpinned by strong innovation capabilities, a broad global footprint including regional manufacturing sites, a differentiated value proposition covering all price points, and consistent execution driven by the Group’s strong culture. In addition, Straumann Group continues to invest in digital transformation, regional production capacity and extensive training initiatives, enabling more clinicians to perform implant and orthodontic procedures.

Macroeconomic and regulatory headwinds, including foreign-exchange volatility and tariffs, are expected to persist. However, Straumann Group’s diversified geographic footprint, strong portfolio and continued focus on innovation, education and digital transformation are expected to support sustainable growth. The Group will present its mid-term strategy and growth ambitions at its Capital Markets Day on November 25, 2025.

Relief Therapeutics Announces Positive Results from Pivotal Bioequivalence Study of RLF-OD032

Relief Therapeutics Holding SA / Key word(s): Study results

Relief Therapeutics Announces Positive Results from Pivotal Bioequivalence Study of RLF-OD032

29-Oct-2025 / 07:00 CET/CEST

Release of an ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

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


Relief Therapeutics Announces Positive Results from Pivotal Bioequivalence Study of RLF-OD032

  • RLF-OD032 demonstrated bioequivalence to KUVAN® Powder
  • Study results support planned 505(b)(2) NDA submission in early 2026

GENEVA (OCT. 29, 2025) – RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding SA (SIX: RLF, OTCQB: RLFTFRLFTY) (Relief, or the Company), a biopharmaceutical company committed to delivering innovative treatment options for select specialty, unmet and rare diseases, today announced positive results from its pivotal bioequivalence clinical study evaluating RLF-OD032, Relief’s innovative and highly concentrated liquid formulation of sapropterin dihydrochloride, for the treatment of phenylketonuria (PKU).

The pivotal study achieved its primary pharmacokinetic endpoints, demonstrating that RLF-OD032 is bioequivalent to KUVAN® Powder, the reference listed drug, as defined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The randomized, open-label, two-way crossover study compared the pharmacokinetics of RLF-OD032 (administered without water) and the reference product (administered with water, as per its labeling) under fed conditions. RLF-OD032 was well tolerated, with no serious adverse events reported. These results are based on a pre-database lock analysis (soft lock) and are expected to be confirmed following final data verification.

“We are extremely pleased to have advanced RLF-OD032 from concept to clinical validation in just three years, demonstrating its bioequivalence and confirming its potential as the first ready-to-use liquid sapropterin formulation,” said Giorgio Reiner, chief scientific officer of Relief. “We believe this innovation will make a meaningful difference for individuals living with PKU, and we are now focused on completing the final regulatory steps to bring this product to market as quickly as possible.”

RLF-OD032 offers a novel approach to PKU management by addressing key limitations of current sapropterin therapies that must be mixed with large volumes of water. As a ready-to-use, highly concentrated liquid, RLF-OD032 can be administered directly, without water, offering a portable, low-volume, and patient-friendly alternative. Its up to 100-fold reduction in dose volume simplifies daily treatment and is expected to improve adherence, optimize outcomes, and enhance quality of life for children and adults living with PKU.

Relief plans to proceed with final data verification and completion of CMC activities in preparation for submission of a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application (NDA). The NDA is expected to be filed in early 2026, seeking U.S. marketing approval for the treatment of PKU, and will be subject to a 10-month FDA review under the 505(b)(2) pathway.

ABOUT RLF-OD032
RLF-OD032 is an innovative, ready-to-use, portable and highly concentrated formulation of sapropterin dihydrochloride in liquid suspension for oral administration, designed to lower blood phenylalanine levels in adult and pediatric PKU patients. It offers a more patient-friendly solution by significantly reducing the volume of medication required compared to current formulations. This advancement aims to enhance compliance, particularly among pediatric patients, who often struggle with the high volumes associated with existing sapropterin treatments. If approved, RLF-OD032 would be the first and only portable, ready-to-use liquid formulation of sapropterin dihydrochloride, with pending patent protection extending through at least 2043.

ABOUT PHENYLKETONURIA
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme needed to break down phenylalanine (Phe), leading to a toxic buildup of Phe from the consumption of foods containing protein or aspartame. Individuals with PKU lack the ability to metabolize Phe, which is present in many foods. Without treatment, PKU can cause severe neurological and developmental issues. The standard treatment involves a lifelong phenylalanine-restricted diet supplemented with amino acid-based, phenylalanine-free medical foods to prevent protein deficiency and optimize metabolic control. However, this diet is highly restrictive and often creates barriers to social interaction, limiting compliance and increasing the risk of poor disease management.

ABOUT RELIEF
Relief is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing treatment paradigms and improving the lives of patients with rare and debilitating diseases. With core expertise in drug delivery systems and drug repurposing, Relief’s clinical pipeline includes innovative treatments designed to address critical unmet medical needs in rare dermatological, metabolic and respiratory conditions. The Company has also successfully brought several approved products to market through licensing and distribution partnerships. Headquartered in Geneva, Relief is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the symbol RLF and quoted in the U.S. on OTCQB under the symbols RLFTF and RLFTY.

  • Transforming the Straumann Group’s orthodontics business through accelerated innovation, key market focus and operational excellence
  • Strategic partnership with Smartee to enhance ClearCorrect’s value proposition through expanding indications, strengthening the innovation pipeline and increasing profitability
  • Collaboration with DentalMonitoring to integrate AI-powered remote treatment monitoring into ClearCorrect’s platform, driving clinical efficiency and patient experience

Basel, October 29, 2025: Today Straumann Group announced new strategic partnerships to transform its orthodontics business and unlock the full potential of its clear aligner brand, ClearCorrect. The Group’s focused approach aims to accelerate innovation, leverage new partners’ global scale, and significantly improve efficiency and profitability. These actions strengthen ClearCorrect’s position, ensuring future sustainable growth and delivering exceptional experiences to customers and patients worldwide.

 

Guillaume Daniellot, Chief Executive Officer, said:

“We are entering an exciting chapter in the transformation of our orthodontics business. Our focused go to market strategy, combined with Smartee and DentalMonitoring strong partnerships, marks an important step in building our next-generation orthodontics platform that combines advanced technology and manufacturing at scale. By working with these innovative partners, we can accelerate innovation, enhance clinician and patient experience, and drive cost efficiency. Together, we are strengthening ClearCorrect’s competitive position and advance the Straumann Group’s commitment to shaping the future of orthodontics.”

 

Strategic technology partnership with Smartee to accelerate innovation and profitability

Straumann Group has entered a strategic technology partnership with Smartee to create a high-performance, next-generation orthodontics platform designed not only to accelerate innovation but also to significantly improve profitability across its clear aligner business.

 

This partnership unites the complementary strengths of two industry leaders. ClearCorrect brings a strong international footprint with established sales and marketing teams, dedicated customer care centers, and a robust software innovation pipeline to elevate customer experience. Smartee, in turn, brings more than 20 years of experience in   advanced orthodontic technology, proven innovation expertise, and efficient manufacturing capabilities. By combining ClearCorrect’s global commercial reach with Smartee’s technology and production efficiency, Straumann Group will significantly advance both the improvement of its clear aligner value proposition and its profitability needed to drive a dynamic and profitable future orthodontics growth.

While financial details remain confidential, Straumann Group holds a single digit percentage stake in Smartee, reflecting its commitment to building a long-term orthodontics franchise.

 

Partnering a unique remote monitoring solution with DentalMonitoring

Straumann Group has also strengthened its partnership with DentalMonitoring (DM), in which it has held a minority stake since 2018. Together, the companies are developing a unique remote-monitoring solution that integrates AI-powered treatment supervision directly into the ClearCorrect platform.

 

This innovation enhances clinical efficiency, improves patient experience, and supports broader adoption among general practitioners – a key driver of differentiation and future growth in the orthodontics segment. The first joint solution, ClearCorrect RemoteCare powered by DM, will be piloted at the end of 2025 with a global rollout planned for 2026.

 

Operational excellence by optimizing the global orthodontics production network

As part of the partnership with Smartee, Straumann Group will transfer clear aligner manufacturing for EMEA and APAC to Smartee’s state-of-the-art facilities. As a result, ClearCorrect production in Markkleeberg, Germany, is planned to be closed by early 2026. Straumann Group is in constructive dialogue with the works council to ensure a fair consultation process and a responsible transition for the site. CADCAM activities at the site are not affected and will continue.

 

A focused go to market strategy on key growth geographies

As part of Straumann Group’s focused orthodontics strategy, ClearCorrect is sharpening its commercial efforts to drive faster and more profitable orthodontics growth.

 

The brand will prioritize strategic high-growth markets and expand its focus on General Practitioners (GPs) and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) – segments with strong potential for scalable growth – while maintaining a firm commitment to serving orthodontists.

 

Innovation remains central to ClearCorrect’s strategy as it expands into an end-to-end digital workflow provider for GPs, extending its portfolio beyond aligners to include complementary, integrated solutions such as the Straumann SIRIOS intraoral scanner. Alongside new digital tools and treatment planning investments, ClearCorrect is strengthening its global support network with regional care teams, a new planning center in Poland, and expanded Costa Rica operations, enhancing responsiveness to its customer base.

 

With these strategic steps, Straumann Group is accelerating the transformation of its orthodontics business – combining innovation, partnerships and operational excellence to build a scalable, profitable and future-ready orthodontics platform that continues to shape the future of dentistry.
