Improved profitability and margins
Gross profit increased 5% to EUR 95.0m in Q1 2026, with gross margin improving by 3.8 percentage points to 62.3%. Excluding other income, gross margin rose 2.5 percentage points to 60.8%, driven by higher contribution from Okedi, lower heparin raw material costs and higher-margin CDMO revenue.
CDMO revenue growth and U.S. footprint expansion
Contract manufacturing (CDMO) revenue grew 5% to EUR 37.4m in Q1 2026. The Phoenix facility was fully integrated as of April 1, strengthening the U.S. manufacturing footprint and sterile fill-and-finish capabilities; a new filling line is expected to be ready next year. Management maintains long-term CDMO ambitions (targeting ~EUR 700m by 2030) despite near-term moderation.
Strong performance and outlook for Okedi
Okedi sales reached EUR 17.2m in Q1, up 37% year-on-year and 10% quarter-on-quarter. Management highlights Okedi as a key growth driver with potential to reach EUR 100m–200m in coming years based on its differentiated clinical profile and continued uptake.
R&D and ISM pipeline progress
Key ISM milestones: Letrozole SIE received FDA IND approval enabling U.S. clinical development and Phase III recruitment expected in Q3 2026; Risperidone QUAR reported strong Phase I results and is advancing into Phase II. Two Phase III clinical trials are underway, reinforcing long-term innovation potential.
