Ad hoc announcement pursuant to art. 53 SIX Swiss Exchange Listing Rules MEDIA RELEASE Strong third-quarter biosimilars growth of 37% in constant currencies from existing portfolio and recent launchesGenerics growth acceleration driven by EuropeThird-quarter net sales¹ of USD 2.6 billion, up 12% in constant currencies (up 11% in USD)Nine-month net sales of USD 7.6 billion, up 9% in constant currencies (up 8% in USD)Net sales growth guidance increased to high-single digit in constant currencies (from mid- to high-single digit) and core EBITDA margin² guidance of around 20% confirmed Basel, October 30, 2024 – Sandoz (SIX:SDZ/OTCQX:SDZNY), the global leader in generic and biosimilar medicines, today announced net sales for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the third quarter, net sales were USD 2.6 billion, an increase of 12% in constant currencies compared to the same quarter of the prior year. For the first nine months of 2024, net sales were USD 7.6 billion, an increase of 9% in constant currencies compared to the prior year. Richard Saynor, Chief Executive Officer of Sandoz, said: “We remain focused on execution, meeting key milestones in our biosimilars business and progressing on our journey as a standalone company. In recent months, we received approval for Pyzchiva® and Enzeevu™ in the US, launched Pyzchiva® in Europe and see continued strong uptake of Hyrimoz® in the US. “Net sales growth was achieved across generics and biosimilars, with generics accelerating in the third quarter and strong double-digit biosimilars growth in both the third quarter and first nine months. Additionally, all three regions contributed to this strong performance. We expect momentum in our business to continue, driving margin expansion through favorable product mix and leveraging our cost base. We have further advanced on our path to simplifying our business, including progression on the transformation program we launched earlier this year.” THIRD-QUARTER AND NINE-MONTH SALES Net sales for the third quarter were USD 2.6 billion, up 12% in constant currencies, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Volume contributed 13 percentage points of growth. This was partially offset by price erosion of 1 percentage point. Biosimilars were the key driver of growth in the quarter, while generics experienced solid demand. Growth accelerated in both businesses. Net sales for the first nine months of 2024 were USD 7.6 billion, up 9% in constant currencies compared to prior year. Volume contributed 11 percentage points of growth. This was partially offset by price erosion of 2 percentage points. The growth was primarily driven by biosimilars, with strong demand for both the base business and new in-market organic and acquired products in the US.

Net sales for the first nine months were USD 5.6 billion, up 2% in constant currencies versus prior year. Growth in the Europe region accelerated in the third quarter, mainly driven by recent launches. The momentum continued in the International region, aided by demand for the antifungal agent Mycamine® and favorable pricing dynamics, partly offset by the divestment of the Chinese business. North America declined due to timing of new launches in the US. Biosimilars overviewNet sales for the third quarter were USD 741 million, up 37% in constant currencies, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Net sales for the first nine months were USD 2.1 billion, up 32% in constant currencies versus prior year. The strong double-digit biosimilars growth reflects the uptake of Hyrimoz® (adalimumab) in the US, the acquisition of Cimerli® (ranibizumab), the continued strong demand for our first-ever biosimilar, Omnitrope® (somatropin), and the launches of Tyruko® (natalizumab) and Pyzchiva® (ustekinumab) in Europe.

Net sales for the first nine months were USD 4.0 billion, up 6% in constant currencies versus prior year. Strong growth in biosimilars continues, led by demand for Omnitrope® and the contribution from the recent launches of Tyruko® and Pyzchiva®. Generics momentum accelerated in the third quarter, driven by recent launches and the lapping of the strong prior-year comparison in the first half. North America overviewNet sales for the third quarter were USD 598 million, up 18% in constant currencies, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Net sales for the first nine months were USD 1.7 billion, up 15% in constant currencies versus prior year. Growth was driven by the ongoing uptake of Hyrimoz® in the US, the acquisition of Cimerli®, share gain of Omnitrope® in the US and the launch of Wyost®/Jubbonti® in Canada. This was partly offset by a decline in generics sales due to the timing of new launches in the US. International overviewNet sales for the third quarter were USD 635 million, up 8% in constant currencies, compared to the third quarter of 2023. Net sales for the first nine months were USD 1.9 billion, up 9% in constant currencies versus prior year. This was primarily a result of strong volume growth across both generics and biosimilars, contribution from the acquisition of Mycamine® in the prior year, favorable price dynamics and recent launches, partly offset by the divestment of the Chinese business in the second quarter. GUIDANCE 2024 On the back of strong momentum in its biosimilars business and solid generics demand, the company is increasing its full-year 2024 net sales guidance to high-single digit growth in constant currencies versus prior year (from mid- to high-single digit) and is confirming its core EBITDA margin guidance of around 20%. THIRD-QUARTER STRATEGIC MILESTONES Sandoz continued to execute on its strategy and passed additional milestones in its biosimilars portfolio. On July 1, the company announced the US FDA approval of biosimilar Pyzchiva® for all indications of the reference medicine. The company intends to launch Pyzchiva® in the US among the first wave of ustekinumab biosimilars in February 2025. On July 25, Sandoz announced the launch of biosimilar Pyzchiva® across Europe to treat chronic inflammatory diseases. Pyzchiva® was the first biosimilar to launch in Europe with all reference medicine strengths, including an initiation dose for Crohn’s disease. On August 12, Sandoz received FDA approval for Enzeevu™ to treat neovascular age-related macular degeneration. This approval further enhances the company’s leading US ophthalmology portfolio and increases access for patients. Launch timing will be dependent on several factors, including the progress and outcome of pending or potential litigation or any potential settlements.

10月29日，诺华公布2024Q3业绩，第三季度收入128.23亿美元，同比增长10%。前9个月总收入371.64亿美元，同比增长11%。按净利润算，诺华Q3净收入为31.85亿美元（+121%），前三季度净收入为91.19亿美元（+62%）。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报PPT 研发费用方面，诺华Q3研发投入为23.92亿美元（-40%），前三季度研发投入为71.80亿美元（-19%）。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报补充材料 从具体业务领域来看，心血管-肾脏-代谢、免疫、神经科学和肿瘤业务前三季度的销售收入分别为61.73亿美元（+35%）、68.86亿美元（+22%）、34.59亿美元（+31%）和108.08亿美元（+15%）。 诺华的多个重磅产品均保持着稳健增长，如Entresto（沙库巴曲缬沙坦）、Cosentyx（司库奇尤单抗）、Kesimpta（奥法妥木单抗）；部分产品实现了高速增长，如Kisqali（瑞波西利）、Pluvicto（lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan）、Leqvio（英克司兰）、Scemblix（阿思尼布）。 诺华2024前三季度TOP20畅销药物 来源：诺华2024Q3财报新闻稿 在心血管-肾脏-代谢领域，诺华的两款革命性药物Entresto（沙库巴曲缬沙坦）和Leqvio（英克司兰）分别贡献了56.42亿美元（+30%）和5.31亿美元（+130%）的收入。 Entresto在明年会面临较大威胁，一方面诺华预计2025年中期Entresto的仿制药将进入美国市场，另一方面Entresto进入了美国第一轮医保谈判降价名单，价格降幅达到53%（2026年开始执行）。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报PPT Leqvio（英克司兰）虽然也承受着来自依洛尤单抗、托莱西单抗等PCSK9单抗的竞争压力，但增长势头良好。诺华仍然在继续扩展Leqvio的应用边界，已计划提交该药物用于降低低或中等ASCVD风险患者的LDL-C水平的上市申请。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报PPT 值得注意的是，诺华在第三季度还迎来了Fabhalta（伊普可泮）IgA肾病适应症的批准，这是首款获批用于治疗IgA肾病的补体药物，为这类患者带来了全新的治疗选择。此外，随着III期APPEAR-C3G研究宣告胜利，诺华也在中美递交了Fabhalta用于治疗C3肾小球病的适应症扩展申请。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报PPT 在免疫领域，诺华的拳头产品Cosentyx（司库奇尤单抗）同样面临多方位产品的竞争压力，不过其在2023年获批了化脓性汗腺炎（HS）适应症。这项批准让Cosentyx成为了HS领域近十年来的首个新型疗法，为其业绩增长带来了新的动力。不过，Cosentyx的专利将在2025年到期，后续将面临来自生物类似药产品的威胁。目前，多家药企（百奥泰、石药集团、迈博太科等）的司库奇尤单抗生物类似药处于III期阶段。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报PPT 在神经科学领域，作为目前唯一一款可自我注射的CD20单抗，Kesimpta（奥法妥木单抗）在多发性硬化症领域仍然有着差异化优势，因此得以保持着稳健的增长。来自罗氏的强力竞品——Ocrevus（奥瑞珠单抗）也在今年推出了皮下注射制剂，其优势在于更低的注射频率（每年2次 vs. 每月1次），不过仍然需要在医护人员监督下使用。此外，Kesimpta的专利已在2023年到期，但目前尚无生物类似药处于临床开发状态。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报PPT 在肿瘤领域，CDK4/6抑制剂Kisqali（瑞波西利）对收入的贡献度最大，销售额达到21.31亿美元（+48%），占肿瘤业务收入20%。今年Q3，Kisqali在美国新增两项适应症：①联合芳香化酶抑制剂作为初始内分泌疗法治疗HR+/HER2-的晚期或转移性乳腺癌成人患者，或联合氟维司群治疗内分泌治疗后出现病情进展的上述人群的患者；②联用芳香化酶抑制剂辅助治疗HR+/HER2-且复发风险高的II期和III期早期乳腺癌（EBC）患者，包括淋巴结阴性（N0）患者。对更早期HR+/HER2-乳腺癌患者群体的覆盖为Kisqali催生了新的增长点。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报PPT 诺华在肿瘤领域的另一款重磅产品Pluvicto同样保持了亮眼的表现，前三季度收入10.41亿美元（+47%）。目前，Pluvicto可用于三线治疗PSMA阳性转移性去势抵抗性前列腺癌（mCRPC）。据诺华财报，其已提交Pluvicto用于二线治疗PSMA阳性mCRPC的上市申请。该适应症获批后，Pluvicto的全年销售额有望达到新的高度。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报PPT Scemblix（阿思尼布）目前仅获批用于三线治疗慢性期费城染色体阳性（Ph+ CML-CP），但其市场表现已十分不错。在III期ASC4FIRST研究传来喜讯后，诺华已向FDA递交Scemblix用于一线治疗Ph+ CML-CP的上市申请，该申请有望在Q4获批。此外，诺华也于今年6月在中国递交了阿思尼布的上市申请。 来源：诺华2024Q3财报PPT 鉴于目前的业绩表现，诺华将2024年整体业绩展望从原先的高个位数增长上调至低两位数增长。 推荐阅读 度普利尤单抗前三季度收入突破百亿美元 罗氏2024Q3：眼科双抗Vabysmo超30亿美元，增长79%！中国区收入增长8% 强生Q3：传奇BCMA CAR-T同比增长87%，乌司奴单抗收入下降 Copyright © 2024 PHARMCUBE.
