Financial guidance for 2014 adjusted

Sanofi Chief Executive Officer, Christopher A. Viehbacher commented:
"Our solid second quarter performance reflects consistent execution of our growth strategy and allows us to slightly adjust upwards our 2014 financial guidance. This quarter, growth platforms represented more than 75% of our sales. Based on the solid momentum in our late stage pipeline, we are actively preparing for a wave of new product launches that will further redefine Sanofi as a biopharmaceutical leader."

Sales in Eastern Europe/Russia and Turkey increased 5.4%, supported by good performance of Turkey. Sales in Russia grew 8.8% to €215 million. In the Middle-East, sales decreased 7.0% to €267 million, reflecting lower sales in Iraq due to the difficult environment and decreased sales of Menactra® in Saudi Arabia. In Brazil, sales increased 182.5% to €387 million (excluding generics, sales grew 29.0% driven by CHC). First-half sales in Emerging Markets increased 11.0% to €5,445 million. Excluding Brazil generics, sales grew 6.5%.

Second-quarter sales in the U.S. were strong (up 9.4% to €2,569 million), driven by Diabetes (up 20.3%), Genzyme (up 27.3%), CHC (up 23.2%) and Animal Health (up 14.0%). First-half sales in the U.S. totaled €4,984 million, up 8.5%.

Sales in Western Europe were €1,908 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 2.8%. Strong performance of Genzyme (+22.9%) was offset by the impact of generic competition to Aprovel® as well as lower sales of vaccines. First-half sales in Western Europe totaled €3,906 million (down 1.5%).

Sales in Japan totaled €475 million, a decrease of 13.5%, reflecting lower sales of Plavix® following a strong first quarter due to anticipation of an increase in the consumption tax which occurred in the second quarter. The impact of generic competition to Allegra®, Myslee® and Amaryl® was partially offset by a strong performance in vaccines. First-half sales in Japan were €1,062 million (down 7.6%).

R&D update

Consult Appendix 7 for full overview of Sanofi's R&D pipeline

Regulatory update

Regulatory updates since the publication of the first-quarter 2014 results on April 29, 2014 include the following:

  • In July, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review the company's New Drug Application (NDA) for Toujeo®, an investigational basal insulin. This follows the acceptance of the marketing authorization dossier for Toujeo® by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for EU countries in May 2014. In July, the NDA for Toujeo® was submitted to the Japanese Health Authorities (PMDA).
  • In July, the Japanese Health Authority (PMDA) granted a marketing authorization for Jevtana® for the treatment of prostate cancer.
  • In June, Genzyme submitted a new drug application in Japan for its oral Gaucher's disease treatment, Cerdelga(TM) (eliglustat tartrate).
  • In May, Sanofi Pasteur's pediatric pentavalent vaccine Shan5(TM), developed and manufactured by its affiliate Shantha Biotechnics in Hyderabad, India, received prequalification status from the World Health Organization (WHO).
  • In May, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review Genzyme's resubmission of its supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) seeking approval of Lemtrada(TM) (alemtuzumab) for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. A six-month review period was assigned for the Lemtrada sBLA. Genzyme expects FDA action on the sBLA in the fourth quarter.

At the end of July 2014, the R&D pipeline contained 46 projects (excluding Life Cycle Management) and vaccine candidates in clinical development of which 12 are in Phase III or have been submitted to the health authorities for approval.

Portfolio update

Phase III:

  • Sanofi and Regeneron announced on July 30, 2014, that nine new Phase III ODYSSEY trials of alirocumab in people with hypercholesterolemia met their primary efficacy endpoint of a greater percent reduction from baseline in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) at 24 weeks compared to placebo or active comparator. Alirocumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody targeting PCSK9. In the nine ODYSSEY trials, the mean percent reduction in LDL-C from baseline at 24 weeks in alirocumab-treated patients was consistent with results seen in previous alirocumab trials. 
  • In July, the detailed results from the first landmark Phase III dengue vaccine efficacy study conducted in five countries in Asia were published in The Lancet. Results show overall efficacy against symptomatic dengue of 56.5% in children aged 2 to 14 years old after a three-dose vaccination schedule. Importantly, analyses show an 88.5% reduction of dengue haemorrhagic fever, the severe form of dengue, according to the WHO criteria. The study also showed a clinically important reduction in the risk of hospitalization due to dengue by 67.2% during the study.
  • In June, results from a pooled analysis from the EDITION I, II and III studies in type 2 diabetes patients were presented at the 74th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The pooled analysis demonstrated similar blood sugar control with Toujeo® as compared with Lantus®. Moreover, Toujeo® consistently showed significantly fewer low blood sugar events (hypoglycemia) at any time of day, including night-time events, compared with Lantus®. In addition, a pronounced and significant reduction in low blood sugar rates at any time of day, including night time, were observed with Toujeo® during the first 8-week of the titration period, a time in insulin treatment often associated with excess hypoglycemia. A sub-group study of EDITION I and EDITION II was also presented at ADA in June. The results demonstrated that glucose lowering and adverse events were similar for Toujeo® when patients were able to vary their dosing schedule of Toujeo® by up to ±3 hours at least two times each week or stayed with the fixed drug administration every 24h. EDITION I, II and III were part of the EDITION program, a worldwide and extensive series of Phase III studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of Toujeo® in broader and diverse populations of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. With full EDITION I and II results previously reported and full results from the EDITION III trial presented at the 2014 ADA congress, all international studies conducted in Type 2 Diabetes have now been reported for the main study period, including the study conducted in Japan, EDITION JP II.
    All EDITION studies conducted in Type 1 diabetes have now also been reported for the main study period (EDITION IV and EDITION JP-II).
  • In June, detailed results from the SARIL-RA-MOBILITY study, a Phase III trial of the investigational drug sarilumab (collaboration with Regeneron) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who were inadequate responders to methotrexate therapy were presented at the European League Against Rheumatism Annual Congress (EULAR 2014) Congress. New data presented at the meeting showed that sarilumab increased major clinical response rates defined as achieving an ACR70 for at least 24 consecutive weeks and showed sustained improvement in signs and symptoms of RA after 52 weeks, which were secondary endpoints of the trial. As previously announced, sarilumab met all three coprimary endpoints, in this study, demonstrating improvement in disease signs and symptoms at 24 weeks, physical function at 16 weeks and inhibition of joint damage progression at 52 weeks.
  • In April, new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from the Lemtrada(TM) clinical development program were presented at the 66th American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting. In Lemtrada(TM) treated patients from the two Phase III clinical trials (both treatment-naïve patients and patients who had active disease on another therapy), the MRI effects observed after two years were maintained during the first year of the extension study.

Phase II:

  • In July, positive results from a Phase IIb dose-ranging study of dupilumab (an investigational monoclonal antibody that blocks signaling of IL-4 and IL-13, in collaboration with Regeneron), in adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, a serious, chronic form of eczema were announced. All doses of dupilumab met the primary endpoint of a greater improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) scores from baseline compared to placebo. In addition, four earlier clinical studies of dupilumab in moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis were published in July in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). The Phase III studies are expected to begin later this year.
  • SAR650984, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, entered into Phase II in monotherapy in multiple myeloma. SAR650984 is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that binds a unique epitope on human CD38 receptor.
  • In June, favorable clinical findings with SAR3419 from the STARLYTE Phase II trial in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. SAR3419 is a maytansin-loaded CD19 monoclonal antibody developed by ImmunoGen and licensed to Sanofi as part of a broader collaboration between the companies.
  • In June, Sanofi reached a mutual agreement with Merrimack Pharmaceuticals to return the rights for MM-121 (SAR256212).
  • Sanofi has decided not to pursue the development of SAR100842 in systemic sclerosis.

Phase I:

  • SAR425899, a dual Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 / Glucagon Receptor Agonist (GLP-1/GCGR agonist) for diabetes entered into Phase I.
  • Sanofi has opted-out of SAR 153192, the anti-DLL4 monoclonal antibody co-developed with Regeneron in solid tumors.
  • Sanofi Pasteur and KaloBios have entered into a negotiated agreement terminating their license and collaboration agreement for development of KB001-A (a monoclonal antibody targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa), effective immediately. As a result of the transaction, KaloBios regains full global rights to the product in all indications.

New Collaborations:

  • In June, Sanofi and Medtronic, Inc. signed a memorandum of understanding to enter into a global strategic alliance in diabetes, aimed at improving patient experience and outcomes for people with diabetes around the world. The alliance will initially focus on two key priorities: the development of drug-device combinations and delivery of care management services to improve adherence, simplify insulin treatment, and help people with diabetes better manage their condition. Implementation of the alliance is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement between the companies.
  • In May, Sanofi and Eli Lilly and Company announced an agreement to pursue regulatory approval of non prescription Cialis® (tadalafil). Cialis® is currently available worldwide by prescription only for the treatment of men with erectile dysfunction. Under the terms of the agreement, Sanofi acquires the exclusive rights to apply for approval of Cialis® OTC in the United States, Europe, Canada and Australia. Sanofi also holds exclusive rights to market Cialis® OTC following Sanofi's receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. If approved, Sanofi anticipates providing Cialis® OTC after expiration of certain patents.

Second-quarter and first-half 2014 financial results

Appendix 10: Definitions of non-GAAP financial indicators

Net sales at constant exchange rates (CER)

When we refer to changes in our net sales "at constant exchange rates" (CER), this means that we exclude the effect of changes in exchange rates.

We eliminate the effect of exchange rates by recalculating net sales for the relevant period at the exchange rates used for the previous period.

Reconciliation of reported net sales to net sales at constant exchange rates for the second quarter and the first half of 2013

€ million Q2 2014 H1 2014
Net sales 8,075 15,917
Effect of exchange rates 443 940
Net sales at constant exchange rates 8,518 16,857

Net sales on a constant structure basis

We eliminate the effect of changes in structure by restating prior-period net sales as follows:

  • by including sales from the acquired entity or product rights for a portion of the prior period equal to the portion of the current period during which we owned them, based on sales information we receive from the party from whom we make the acquisition;
  • similarly, by excluding sales in the relevant portion of the prior period when we have sold an entity or rights to a product;
  • or a change in consolidation method, by recalculating the prior period on the basis of the method used for the current period.

Business net income

Sanofi publishes a key non-GAAP indicator. This indicator "Business net income", replaced "adjusted net income excluding selected items".
Business net income is defined as net income attributable to equity holders of Sanofi excluding:

  • amortization of intangible assets,
  • impairment of intangible assets,
  • fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities related to business combinations,
  • other impacts associated with acquisitions (including impacts of acquisitions on associates),
  • restructuring costs(1),
  • other gains and losses (including gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets(1)),
  • costs or provisions associated with litigation(1),
  • tax effects related to the items listed above as well as effects of major tax disputes.
  • tax (3%) on dividends paid to Sanofi shareholders.

(1) Reported in the line items Restructuring costs and Gains and losses on disposals, and litigation, which are defined in Note B.20. to our consolidated financial statements.
