Sandoz launches Afqlir® (aflibercept) in Europe, providing affordable treatment option for patients with retinal diseases

  • Afqlir® approved by European Commission in November 2024; matches reference medicine in efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics
  • Gold standard treatment* for patients living with various retinal diseases such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD)
  • Another milestone in Sandoz growth strategy, building on recent biosimilar launches including Tyruko® (natalizumab) in US on November 17; European launch of denosumab expected December 2025
  • Reinforces Sandoz commitment to helping patients access critical and potentially life-changing biologic medicines through leading global portfolio of 13 biosimilars
  • Launch expands Sandoz growing presence in ~USD 15 billion anti-VEGF** market

Basel, November 24, 2025Sandoz (SIX:SDZ/OTCQX:SDZNY), the global leader in affordable medicines, today announced the European launch of Afqlir® (aflibercept). Afqlir®, a 2 mg vial kit and pre-filled syringe for intravitreal injection, was approved by the European Commission in November 2024 for the same indications in adult patients as the reference medicine, Eylea®***, namely the treatment of various retinal diseases to prevent disease-related blindness1,2Studies confirm that Afqlir® matches the reference medicine in efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics3.

 

Aflibercept is considered a gold standard4 for treating various neovascular retinal diseases. Conditions like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and diabetic macular edema (DME) are leading causes of vision loss and their global prevalence is increasing5-10.

 

Christophe Delenta, President Europe, Sandoz, said: “Vision loss can devastate lives, affecting not only those living with conditions like nAMD but also the families and caregivers who support them. At the same time, the high cost of current treatments for neovascular retinal diseases places further strain on healthcare systems. That’s why the launch of Afqlir® is such an important milestone: It brings a high-quality, affordable aflibercept option for European patients that maintains and improves vision, while also supporting more sustainable care across the region.”

 

A subtype of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), nAMD is characterized by vision loss in the central zone and is a leading cause of vision impairment in patients over 65 years of age11. Although nAMD represents about 10 to 20 percent of all AMD cases, it accounts for 90 percent of severe vision loss linked to AMD12In France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, the US and Japan, around 4.0 million people are estimated to have nAMD. Of these, 2.8 million are diagnosed but only 2.0 million receive treatment13.

 

Afqlir® will be launched across Europe, beginning in the UK today, followed by other major markets such as Germany and France, with additional rollouts to follow in 2026.

 

Afqlir® is one of several biosimilar value drivers for Sandoz and this launch represents another step in advancing the company’s growth strategy, building on major launches this year including Tyruko® (natalizumab) and Wyost® (denosumab) and Jubbonti® (denosumab) in the US.

 

Sandoz is committed to helping millions of patients access critical and potentially life-changing biologic medicines sustainably and affordably, with a leading global portfolio comprising 13 biosimilars and a further 27 assets in various stages of development.

 

The launch builds on the existing Sandoz leadership and legacy in biosimilars, dating back to the introduction of the first biosimilar in 2006, and expands the company’s presence in the ~USD 15 billion anti-VEGF ophthalmology market14.

 

In September 2025, Sandoz also announced that it had reached an agreement with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. to resolve all patent disputes between the two companies relating to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved aflibercept biosimilar, clearing the path for the launch of Enzeevu™ (aflibercept-abzv) in the US by the end of 2026.

 

* Gold standard refers to an established and widely used treatment option for a certain disease.

** Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor.

Leverkusen / Berlin, November 23, 2025 – Bayer today announced positive topline results from the global Phase III study OCEANIC-STROKE, with its investigational, once daily, oral FXIa inhibitor asundexian. The study met its primary efficacy and safety endpoints. Asundexian 50 mg once daily significantly reduced the risk of ischemic stroke compared to placebo, both in combination with antiplatelet therapy, in patients after a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA). There was no increase in the risk of ISTH major bleeding in patients treated with asundexian compared to placebo, both in combination with antiplatelet therapy. Bayer will globally engage with health authorities in preparation for the submission of marketing authorization applications. Detailed results of OCEANIC-STROKE will be presented at an upcoming scientific congress.
 
The OCEANIC-STROKE study investigated the efficacy and safety of the oral Factor XIa inhibitor asundexian 50 mg once daily compared to placebo, for prevention of ischemic stroke in patients after a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack (TIA) in combination with antiplatelet therapy. It is a multicenter, international, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel group and event-driven study, that has enrolled over 12,300 patients.
 
Asundexian, a direct inhibitor of FXIa, is theorized to reduce thrombus formation that can lead to vessel stenosis or blockage, without a significant increase in major bleeding. Asundexian is currently being evaluated as a potential treatment option in thrombosis prevention. Asundexian is a once-daily, oral investigational agent and has not been approved by any health authority for use in any country, for any indication.

FamiCord AG accelerates profitable growth in the third quarter of 2025 and further strengthens quality and visibility of revenues

21.11.2025 / 07:30 CET/CEST

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


FamiCord AG accelerates profitable growth in the third quarter of 2025 and further strengthens quality and visibility of revenues

  • Group revenues increase by around 2.5 percent to EUR 22.8 million in Q3 2025 and by roughly 10 percent to around EUR 66.4 million in the first nine months
  • EBITDA from continuing operations at EUR 3.8 million, on par with the previous year; 9M EBITDA reaches EUR 8.7 million with a margin of 13.1 percent
  • Share of recurring revenues grows noticeably faster than prepaid contracts, further increasing visibility and stability of the long-term revenue base

Leipzig, 21 November 2025 – FamiCord AG, Europe’s leading cell bank and the third largest worldwide, accelerated its profitable growth path in the third quarter of 2025 and further strengthened the quality of its revenues. Despite an environment still characterized by economic uncertainty, subdued consumer sentiment and comparatively low birth rates in many European countries, the Company again increased its revenues with an attractive margin profile and further improved its profitability. 

In the third quarter of 2025, Group revenues rose to EUR 22.8 million, corresponding to growth of around 2.5 percent compared with the previous year’s period (Q3 2024: EUR 22.2 million). For the first nine months of 2025, revenues increased by 10.1 percent to around EUR 66.4 million (9M 2024: EUR 60.3 million). Gross profit developed very positively both in the quarter and in the year to date, supported by a favorable product mix with higher-value packages and price adjustments implemented in recent periods. At the same time, the Company continued to keep its costs under control. 

The net amount of invoiced services (B2C) continued to develop positively, rising by around 4.0 percent to EUR 57.4 million in the first nine months of 2025 (9M 2024: EUR 55.2 million). Within this, annually recurring payments grew even more dynamically by around 6.9 percent to EUR 17.3 million (9M 2024: EUR 16.2 million). This underlines the growing weight of subscription-based revenues in the Group’s business model.

EBITDA from continuing operations in the third quarter remained at the previous year’s level at EUR 3.8 million (Q3 2024: EUR 3.8 million). At 16.5 percent, the EBITDA margin was slightly below the previous year’s level (Q3 2024: 17.3 percent). In the first nine months of 2025, EBITDA rose significantly to EUR 8.7 million (9M 2024: EUR 7.4 million), with the corresponding margin rising to over 13.1 percent (9M 2024: 12.2 percent). The significant improvement in profitability is primarily based on the sustained improvement in sales performance, the optimization of contract structures, and strict cost discipline in administration, marketing, and sales. Net income from continuing operations developed very positively both in the quarter and over the course of the year.

A key element in the business development remains the structure of the Company’s contracts. The trend already visible in the first half of 2025 continued in the third quarter: recurring revenues from subscription contracts grew significantly more strongly than prepaid contracts and prolongations. Unlike a year ago, when growth was driven by prepaid contracts, the share of subscriptions has now increased markedly.  The higher share of subscription models further increases the stability and visibility of the Company’s long-term revenue base. 

“Over the past quarters we have deliberately shifted our contract mix towards subscription models,” explains Jakub Baran, CEO of FamiCord AG. “The fact that recurring revenues are now growing significantly faster than prepaid contracts materially increases the visibility and stability of our long-term revenue base and makes our business model structurally more robust.”

The key figures for business development are as follows:

IFRS, in EUR ´000 Q3 Q3 9M 9M 9M
  2025 2024 2025 2024
Group revenue     22,789     22,232     66,365     60,261 10.1%
Gross profit       9,773       9,035     27,627     23,645 16.8%
EBITDA (cont. operations)       3,759       3,844       8,716       7,373 18.2%
EBITDA margin [%] 16.5% 17.3% 13.1% 12.2% +0.9PP
EBIT       1,695 1,686       2,451 869 182.2%
Net profit (cont. operations)       1,225 1,311       1,755 -131 1907.3%
Earnings per share [in EUR] 0.07          0.09 0.10 -0.01 796.9%
Operating cash flow  —       3,427       7,789 -56.0%
Cash & cash equivalents
(vs. 31.12.2024)
 —     11,296     16,823 -32.9%

This contract mix also has an impact on the cash flow profile. Reflecting the shift in contract mix towards subscription models, operating cash flow remained clearly positive at EUR 3.4 million for the first nine months of 2025 (9M 2024: EUR 7.8 million). As expected, this was below the very strong prior-year figure, which was still dominated by a high share of prepaid contracts and additionally benefited from an income tax refund already mentioned in previous releases. The lower operating cash flow in the current year must therefore be seen primarily as a consequence of the shift towards recurring revenues, which in turn improves the predictability and resilience of future cash inflows. 

The balance sheet of FamiCord remains solid. Total assets increased compared with year-end 2024, mainly due to the further expansion of the contract portfolio and the resulting higher contract liabilities. As a consequence, the equity ratio is below the prior-year level, which is a mechanical effect of the balance sheet extension and the increase in deferred revenues. At the same time, however, the equity ratio improved again compared with the end of the second quarter of 2025, even though the Company continued to grow its business. Liquidity remains comfortable at around EUR 11.3 million, providing adequate financial flexibility. The full consolidation of the subsidiaries in Slovakia and the Czech Republic – following the increase in ownership stakes in the end of the first half of the year – is progressing according to plan and further strengthens FamiCord’s position in Eastern Europe. 

In line with the strategic decisions taken in the first half of 2025, FamiCord continues to focus stronger on its core business of family stem cell banking. Activities relating to CAR-T cell therapies are no longer prioritized at Group level and, as already communicated, are excluded from Group EBITDA and reported separately as discontinued operations. This clear focus allows the Company to concentrate management attention and financial resources on areas that offer the best combination of growth potential and earnings quality. In its CDMO activities, FamiCord observed a tangible pick-up in demand, signing three new agreements in the third quarter with a total volume of around EUR 1 million, which are expected to contribute mainly to 2026 revenues.

On the basis of the performance in the first nine months of 2025, the Management Board looks to the remaining months of the year with confidence. The combination of solid revenue growth with attractive gross margins, a strong improvement in EBITDA, a positive operating cash flow despite the shift towards recurring revenues and a stable financial position provides a robust foundation.

MPH Health Care AG publishes figures for the third quarter of 2025: Equity (NAV) amounts to EUR 194.2 million, corresponding to EUR 45.36 per share. The equity ratio fell slightly to 92.8%

20.11.2025 / 08:30 CET/CEST

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


MPH Health Care AG publishes figures for the third quarter of 2025:

Equity (net asset value) amounts to EUR 194.2 million, corresponding to EUR 45.36 per share. The equity ratio fell slightly to 92.8% (31 December 2024: 95.5%).

Berlin, 20th November 2025 – MPH Health Care AG (ISIN: DE000A289V03) announces its preliminary IFRS consolidated results for the third quarter of 2025. According to this, equity decreased by 30% from EUR 277.9 million as of 31 December 2024 to EUR 194.2 million as of 30 September 2025. Net asset value (NAV) per share fell from EUR 64.90 (31 December 2024) to EUR 45.36 as of 30 September 2025.

The IFRS net result for the period decreased from EUR 54.5 million as of 30 September 2024 to EUR -78.5 million as of 30 September 2025. This result is due to the accounting valuations of the investments as at the reporting date, which do not affect cashflow. MPH AG is an investment company whose investments are reported as financial assets under the balance sheet item ‘Financial assets’ and are measured at fair value through profit or loss on the balance sheet date.

The equity ratio fell slightly from 95.5% to 92.8% and remains at a very high level.

The financial situation has improved compared to the previous year. From 1 January to 30 September 2025, operating cashflow amounted to EUR 2,156 thousand (previous year: EUR 2,073 thousand) and net cashflow amounted to EUR 2,421 thousand (previous year: EUR -5,131 thousand).

The fair value losses are mainly due to the sharp decline in the share price of our listed investment CR Energy AG, which filed for (preliminary) insolvency proceedings with the competent local court in Potsdam in June 2025. The main proceedings were opened on 1 September 2025. The price of CR shares fell from EUR 4.78 on 31 December 2024 to EUR 0.37 on 30 September 2025.

The M1 Kliniken AG investment continued its growth trajectory in the first nine months of 2025, once again increasing both revenue and earnings. Consistently implemented efficiency measures and the targeted expansion of medical capacities remain key priorities and are making a significant contribution to further improving results. IFRS consolidated revenue from January to September 2025 amounted to EUR 274.3 million, compared with EUR 257.2 million in the same period of the previous year. This represents an increase of 6.7%. The consolidated EBIT margin increased to 8.9% in this period (same period of the previous year: 8.6%). Operating profit (EBIT) increased to EUR 24.5 million (previous year: EUR 22.1 million), representing a growth of +11%. Earnings before taxes (EBT) rose by around 10% to EUR 24.4 million as of 30 September 2025.

The Beauty segment remains the Group’s most important growth driver. The positive development already recorded in the first half of the year continued convincingly in the third quarter of 2025. In the first nine months of 2025, the segment continued to benefit from efficiency gains through optimised processes and higher utilisation of medical capacities. EBIT in the „Beauty“ segment increased disproportionately by around 30% to EUR 21.1 million.

The price of M1 Kliniken shares fell from EUR 16.60 on 31 December 2024 to EUR 14.30 on 30 September 2025.

M1 Kliniken AG remains on course for growth and aims to increase revenue in the high-margin beauty segment to EUR 200–300 million per year by 2029, with a sustainable EBIT margin of at least 20%. The group is thus consistently pursuing its goal of establishing M1 Med Beauty as the world’s leading brand for aesthetic medicine.

At this year’s Annual General Meeting of MPH Health Care AG on 17 July 2025, it was resolved to distribute a dividend of EUR 1.20 per dividend-bearing share, as in the previous year, and to carry forward the remaining amount of the 2024 net profit of EUR 72.5 million to new account.

About MPH Health Care AG:

Ranibizumab Biosimilar Epruvy® launched in Germany

20.11.2025 / 06:30 CET/CEST

Press Release // November 20, 2025
 

Ranibizumab Biosimilar Epruvy® launched in Germany
 

  • Sandoz commercializes Epruvy®1 in innovative pre-filled syringe (PFS) and vial presentation in Germany under license from Bioeq AG
  • The PFS delivery system represents a key advancement combining biosimilar development excellence with customer-friendly design and expertise in polymer engineering
  • Epruvy® expands therapeutic options and broadens patient access to ranibizumab biosimilars in Germany
     

Planegg-Martinsried, Germany – Formycon AG (FSE: FYB, “Formycon”) and Bioeq AG (“Bioeq”) jointly announce an agreement with Sandoz AG (“Sandoz”) for the commercialization of Epruvy® in Germany. The Lucentis®2 biosimilar Epruvy® (“ranibizumab”) is used to treat severe visual impairments such as neovascular (“wet”) age-related macular degeneration (“nAMD”) and other retinopathies. It is marketed by Sandoz in Germany under a license from Bioeq AG, a joint venture between Formycon AG and Polpharma Biologics Group BV.

Approved by the European Medicines Agency EMA in September 2024, Epruvy® is available in a vial presentation and, in addition, as a pre-filled syringe, providing patients and healthcare professionals in Germany with a convenient and efficient treatment option.

The innovative PFS technology has been specifically designed for intravitreal injections using a silicone-free device. The system addresses key safety aspects of this delicate ocular treatment, such as the elimination of silicone-oil related contamination, high dosing accuracy, combined with low injection pressure, which can minimize the risk of application errors.

The ready-to-use syringe reduces preparation time and supports efficient administration to patients with nAMD and other serious retinal diseases.

Nicola Mikulcik, CBO of Formycon, comments: “This first-of-its kind ophthalmic biosimilar presentation in Germany marks an important step in unlocking the full commercial potential of our Lucentis® biosimilars. With Sandoz as commercialization partner, we are ideally positioned to further expand market penetration and ensure that even more healthcare professionals and patients in Germany benefit from improved access to high-quality ophthalmic care. This new presentation streamlines clinical workflows and enhances safe usability, making it a compelling choice for ophthalmologists in daily practice. We are confident that this new product will accelerate adoption and strengthen our joint footprint in Europe’s most important healthcare markets.”

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.

SYNBIOTIC strengthens its presence at international events and monitors advances in cannabis research

SYNBIOTIC strengthens its presence at international events and monitors advances in cannabis research

The European medical cannabis and industrial hemp group SYNBIOTIC SE (ISIN DE000A3E5A59 | WKN A3E5A5) is entering the final stretch of the year with strategic initiatives: The Group has already participated in the international Talman House Roadshow in London and will be represented at the Equity Capital Forum in Frankfurt. At the same time, SYNBIOTIC points to current scientific findings on the so-called entourage effect and emphasizes the importance of natural full-spectrum approaches to CBD products.

SYNBIOTIC at the Talman House Event 2025 in London

As part of its ongoing capital market activities, SYNBIOTIC presented itself on 10 November 2025 as a sponsor and participant at the Talman House Event in London. The renowned industry meeting brings together leading players from the cannabis, healthcare and investment sectors to discuss the future of sustainable and innovative markets. SYNBIOTIC used the event to deepen its exchange with international investors and partner companies and to provide insights into the current development of the Group.
“Talman House is an excellent platform to bridge innovative European cannabis companies with international capital providers. For SYNBIOTIC, it is a valuable opportunity to strengthen our network and further expand the Group’s visibility,” said Daniel Kruse, Managing Director of SYNBIOTIC.
The event also served to continue close collaboration with the intercontinental network – including Hyde Advisory, Bob Hoban, Global Cannabis Network Collective and Golden Eagle Partners.

German Equity Capital Forum 2025

SYNBIOTIC will also be represented at the Equity Capital Forum 2025 from 24 to 26 November in Frankfurt. The aim is to demonstrate to institutional investors the positive development of a sector positioned in the areas of “Health Care,” “Food & Beverage,” and “Consumer Goods,” and to present the Group’s strategic developments.

Research confirms potential of the entourage effect – SYNBIOTIC focuses on full-spectrum approaches

Recent research findings once again highlight the significance of the so-called entourage effect in cannabis products. As reported by the “Pharmazeutische Zeitung” in its 23 October 2025 issue, the interplay of numerous cannabinoids and terpenes decisively influences the effect profile of cannabis. Researchers at the University of Bern show that full-spectrum extracts can have a different, in some cases enhanced, effect compared to isolated individual substances.
This confirms SYNBIOTIC’s strategy of utilizing its in-house capabilities for the development and production of full-spectrum cannabis extracts within the Group. These extracts offer enormous potential for future medical applications and new product forms – far beyond today’s use of cannabis flowers. This also applies to full-spectrum CBD products. Beyond the approval of CBD isolate products, SYNBIOTIC will continue to advocate for clear regulatory frameworks in the EFSA Novel Food process.
Joscha Krauß, Managing Director of MH medical hemp: “The entourage effect illustrates that nature provides complex mechanisms of action. It is precisely this interplay that defines high-quality CBD products and demonstrates why objective evaluation and research are so important.” MH medical hemp is a subsidiary of the SYNBIOTIC Group.
