Inside information: Orion upgrades full-year outlook for 2024

Orion Corporation upgrades the full-year outlook for 2024 both for the part regarding net sales and operating profit. Orion and MSD (Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) have exercised the option to convert the co-development and co-commercialisation agreement with MSD regarding opevesostat (MK-5684/ODM-208), an investigational CYP11A1 inhibitor CYP11A1 inhibitor, and other candidates targeting CYP11A1 into an exclusive global license for MSD. As a consequence of this decision, Orion announced it will release from the balance sheet the EUR 60 million item reserved to cover Orion’s share of accrued R&D costs related to the co-development. The item will have positive impact on both Orion’s net sales and operating profit in the third quarter of 2024. For this reason, Orion upgrades full-year outlook for 2024.

It is further noted that all of our businesses have developed positively during the first half of the year.

New full-year outlook, provided on 1 July 2024

Net sales are estimated to be EUR 1,440 million to EUR 1,480 million.

Operating profit is estimated to be EUR 350 million to EUR 380 million.
