Sanofi Chief Executive Officer, Paul Hudson, commented:

“Since joining Sanofi only two months ago, I am increasingly excited about the strength of our businesses, our ability to develop transformative medicines and the diverse talent of our teams across the organization. Building on this foundation, Sanofi delivered a resilient underlying performance in the third quarter with strong sales in Specialty Care, largely driven by the continued outstanding performance of Dupixent®. I am encouraged by the organization’s early achievements in our efficiency initiatives, which will allow us to further drive innovation in our business. I’m looking forward to discussing Sanofi‘s strategic priorities at our Capital Markets Day in Cambridge, MA on December 10”.

Dupixent® (collaboration with Regeneron) generated sales of €570 million in the third quarter (up 142%). In the U.S., Dupixent® sales of €455 million (up 130%) were driven by continued growth in atopic dermatitis which benefited from launch in the adolescent age group (12 to 17 years of age) in mid-March, rapid uptake in asthma and launch in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (approved in the U.S. in June). Dupixent® U.S. NBRx and TRx were respectively up 15% and 21% sequentially. In Europe, third-quarter sales were €54 million (up 170%). In Rest of the World region, Dupixent® sales were €52 million (up 243%) mainly generated in Japan. Dupixent® is now launched in 30 countries, 7 of which have multiple indications launched. First nine months Dupixent® sales increased 161% to €1,395 million. Long term 76 week data was recently published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology with a safety profile that was consistent with previous clinical trials and sustained efficacy. This data is supportive of continuous long term use of Dupixent®.

Kevzara® (collaboration with Regeneron) sales were €49 million (up 118%) in the third quarter, of which €33 million was in the U.S. (up 78%) reflecting increased adoption and category share. First nine months Kevzara® sales increased 142% to €131 million.

Third-quarter Multiple Sclerosis (MS) sales increased 2.1% to €551 million, driven by double-digit growth of Aubagio® in the U.S. and Europe, partially offset by lower Lemtrada® sales. First nine months MS sales increased 3.5% to €1,620 million.

Third-quarter Aubagio® sales increased 12.4% to €494 million, supported by the U.S. performance (up 13.8% to €363 million) and Europe (up 10.8% to €103 million). First nine months Aubagio® sales increased 11.7% to €1,397 million.
Beginning January 1, 2020, Aubagio® will be excluded from the ESI National Preferred Formulary.

In the third quarter, Lemtrada® sales decreased 42.4% to €57 million due to lower U.S. sales (down 33.3% to €34 million) and European sales (down 60.5% to €15 million), reflecting increased global competition and the update to the EU label. First nine months Lemtrada® sales decreased 28.4% to €223 million.

Third-quarter Praluent® (collaboration with Regeneron) sales decreased 11.8% to €61 million, reflecting lower sales in the U.S. (down 31.7% to €29 million) which were impacted by significantly higher rebates. In Europe, Praluent® sales increased 4.5% to €22 million despite the suspension of sales in Germany in August following the Regional Court of Dusseldorf ruling in the ongoing patent litigation. First nine months Praluent® sales decreased 0.6% to €183 million. In August, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ruled in favor of Sanofi and Regeneron in the ongoing Praluent® (alirocumab) patent litigation. The Court found as a matter of law that Amgen’s asserted patent claims for antibodies targeting PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) are invalid based on lack of enablement. U.S. payer coverage for Praluent® in 2020 is expected to be lower for insured lives across Medicare plans.

In the third quarter, Established Rx Products sales decreased 7.3% to €2,371 million, primarily reflecting the divestment of the European generics business Zentiva at the end of the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the generics divestment, Established Rx Products sales decreased 1.8% in the third quarter, reflecting generic competition to Renvela®/Renagel® (sevelamer) in the U.S. and lower Lovenox sales in Europe®. First nine months Established Rx Products sales decreased 8.9% to €7,283 million (down 3.4% at CS).

Third-quarter Lovenox® sales decreased 5.4% to €334 million, reflecting lower Mature Markets sales (down 16.2% to €191 million) due to biosimilar competition in several countries in Europe. In Emerging Markets, Lovenox® sales grew 14.6% to €143 million. First nine months Lovenox® sales were down 8.5% to €1,024 million.

In the third quarter, Plavix® sales decreased 0.6% to €356 million due to generic competition in Japan (sales down 23.1% to €32 million). In China, Plavix® sales increased 3.5% to €209 million despite the implementation of the volume based procurement program (VBP) in key cities in China at the beginning of the second quarter. First nine months Plavix® sales decreased 0.4% to €1,122 million.

Third-quarter Aprovel®/Avapro® sales increased 5.7% to €169 million driven by Emerging Markets sales (up 3.6% to €117 million). In China, Aprovel®/Avapro® sales were up 1.4% to €74 million despite the implementation of the VBP in key cities in China at the beginning of the second quarter. First nine months Aprovel®/Avapro® sales increased 7.2% to €543 million.

In September 2019, Plavix® and Co-Aprovel® were among the bidding winners of the nationwide VBP program. Sanofi expects the nationwide implementation of the VBP program to begin in December. As a result, Q4 2019 sales of Plavix® and Aprovel® family products are expected to decrease significantly due to net price adjustments of inventory in the channel. In 2020, Sanofi expects sales of Plavix® and the Aprovel® family in China to decline around 50%.

Third-quarter Renvela®/Renagel® (sevelamer) sales decreased 28.9% to €84 million, due to generic competition in the U.S. (down 50.7% to €39 million) and despite growth in China. First nine months Renvela®/Renagel® sales decreased 29.8% to €229 million.

In the third quarter, Generics sales decreased 32.1% to €268 million, reflecting the divestment of the European generics business Zentiva at the end of the third quarter of 2018. At CS, third-quarter Generics sales increased 7.9%, reflecting 6.8% growth in Emerging Markets (€176 million). First nine months Generics sales were €804 million, down 33.9% and up 5.4% at CS.

In the third quarter, Consumer Healthcare (CHC) sales increased 0.4% to €1,136 million, with growth coming from the Pain, Nutritionals, and Allergy, Cough & Cough categories, supported by performance in Emerging Markets (up 7.3% to €414 million). In the first nine months, CHC sales grew 0.7% to €3,535 million. Strengthening of regulatory requirements, particularly in Europe, as well as the continued effect of non-core divestments impacted growth in the third quarter. These factors are expected to have a dampening effect on CHC performance during the remainder of the year and through the first part of 2020. Additionally, in October Sanofi decided to conduct a precautionary voluntary recall of Zantac® in the U.S. and Canada. In September, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Health Canada issued public statements alerting that some ranitidine medicines, including Zantac OTC, could contain NDMA at low levels and asked manufacturers to conduct testing. Evaluations are ongoing on both drug substance (active ingredient) and finished drug product. Due to inconsistencies in preliminary test results of the active ingredient used in the U.S. and Canadian products, Sanofi decided to conduct the voluntary recall in the U.S. and Canada as the investigation continues. In the third quarter, Zantac® sales were down 58.1% to €14 million, reflecting the impact of this recall.

In Europe, third-quarter CHC sales decreased 7.0% to €306 million reflecting divestments of non-strategic brands and strengthening regulatory requirements. First nine months CHC sales in Europe were down 4.5% to €986 million.

In the U.S., third-quarter CHC sales decreased 4.4% to €252 million, reflecting the impact of the Zantac® recall. First nine months CHC sales in the U.S. were down 0.4% to €840 million.

In Emerging Markets, third-quarter CHC sales increased 7.3% to €414 million, driven by performance in Latin America. First nine months CHC sales in Emerging Markets increased 5.2% to €1,227 million.

Total Vaccines1,929-9.8%3,823+3.9%

Third-quarter Vaccines sales decreased 9.8% to €1,929 million. This anticipated decrease was impacted by the timing of flu vaccine delivery in the U.S. which will be significantly weighted towards the fourth quarter due to the roughly one-month delay in strain selection by the WHO at the beginning of the year. As a consequence, U.S. third-quarter Vaccines sales were down 19.5% to €1,122 million. In Emerging Markets and Europe, third-quarter Vaccines sales were up 10.7% (to €481 million) and up 7.8% (to €235 million), respectively. First nine months Vaccines sales were up 3.9% to €3,823 million.

In the third quarter, Polio/Pertussis/Hib (PPH) vaccines sales decreased 1.2% to €515 million, reflecting CDC inventory variation in the U.S. (down 37.8% to €78 million) which offset the strong performance in Emerging Markets (up 18.2% to €330 million). In Europe, PPH vaccines sales were stable at €73 million. First nine months PPH vaccines sales were up 19.3% to €1,503 million.

Influenza vaccines sales decreased 28.5% to €735 million in the third quarter, reflecting lower sales in the U.S. (down 32.6% to €580 million) due to the aforementioned delay in delivery. As already announced, Sanofi expects influenza vaccine sales to be significantly weighted towards the fourth quarter. First nine months influenza vaccines sales were down 25.9% to €852 million. Sanofi expects full-year 2019 influenza vaccines sales to exceed the prior year level, driven by its differentiated portfolio.

Third-quarter Menactra® sales increased 8.8% to €310 million, driven by the U.S. First nine months Menactra® sales increased 12.3% to €558 million.

Third-quarter Travel and other endemic vaccines sales were €159 million up 20.8%, supported by favorable phasing of yellow fever vaccine sales. First nine months Travel and other endemic vaccines sales were up 14.2% to €416 million.

Third-quarter Adult Booster vaccines sales were up 17.4% to €182 million, reflecting strong demand for Repevax® in Europe and favorable phasing for Adacel® in the U.S. First nine months Adult Booster vaccines sales increased 20.0% to €416 million.

Third-quarter sales in the U.S. decreased 4.5% to €3,671 million, reflecting the expected delay in flu vaccines supply which offset Dupixent® performance. In the U.S., first nine months sales increased 2.4% to €9,072 million.

Third-quarter sales in Emerging Markets grew 9.7% to €2,785 million, driven by Established Products (up 6.9%), Vaccines (up 10.7%), Diabetes (up 10.1%) and Rare Disease (up 24.2%). In Asia, third-quarter sales were up 10.8% to €1,172 million. In China, sales increased 13.7% to €744 million, driven by Pharmaceuticals and Vaccines. In Latin America, third-quarter sales increased 21.4% to €685 million. Third-quarter sales in Brazil were up 10.5% to €261 million. In Africa and the Middle East region, third-quarter sales were €564 million, down 8.0% reflecting order phasing in the Middle East. Third-quarter sales in the Eurasia region increased 13.5% to €318 million, supported by strong growth in Turkey. Third-quarter sales in Russia were €166 million up 9.0%. In Emerging Markets, first nine months sales increased 11.1% to €8,239 million.

Third-quarter sales in Europe were €2,157 million, down 7.5% reflecting divestment of the European generics business. At CS, third-quarter sales decreased 1.5% mainly reflecting lower Lovenox®, Lemtrada® and CHC sales which were partially offset by Dupixent® and Vaccines performance. In Europe, first nine months sales decreased 8.1% (-1.8% at CS) to €6,508 million.

Sales in Japan increased 2.2% to €456 million in the third quarter, driven by Dupixent® which largely offset lower sales of Plavix® due to generic competition. In Japan, first nine months sales increased 5.9% to €1,453 million.

R&D update

Consult Appendix 6 for full overview of Sanofi’s R&D pipeline

Regulatory update

Regulatory updates since July 29, 2019 include the following:

  • In October, the European Commission approved Dupixent® (collaboration with Regeneron) as an add-on therapy with intranasal corticosteroids for the treatment of adults with severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) for whom therapy with systemic corticosteroids and/or surgery do not provide adequate disease control.
  • In October, MenQuadfiTM, a meningococcal quadrivalent conjugate vaccine, was submitted in the European Union for the prevention of invasive meningococcal disease in individuals 12 months of age and older.
  • In October, a quadrivalent recombinant influenza vaccine was submitted in the European Union for the prevention of influenza disease in persons 18 years of age and older (vaccine registered in the U.S. under the trade name Flublok®).
  • In August, Dupixent® was approved by the European Commission for adolescents 12 to 17 years of age with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who are candidates for systemic therapy.

At the end of October 2019, the R&D pipeline contained 85 projects, including 37 new molecular entities in clinical development (or that have been submitted to the regulatory authorities). 34 projects are in phase 3 or have been submitted to the regulatory authorities for approval.

Portfolio update

Phase 3:

  • In September, the findings from the CARD study of Jevtana® (cabazitaxel) were presented at the 2019 European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress. Data were also published in the New England Journal of Medicine and showed that patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with docetaxel and who progressed within 12 months on an androgen receptor targeted agent (abiraterone or enzalutamide) experienced significantly longer radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) with Jevtana® plus prednisone compared with abiraterone plus prednisone or enzalutamide. Overall survival (OS) with Jevtana® was also significantly longer.
  • In August, positive topline phase 3 results for Dupixent® in children aged 6 to 11 years with severe atopic dermatitis were announced.

Phase 2

  • In the third quarter, the NSCLC and Prostate Cancer combination cohorts with cemiplimab and isatuximab were discontinued due to efficacy considerations. This decision was not safety related. The ongoing combination trials in Multiple Myeloma and Lymphoma as well as combination trials with isatuximab and atezolizumab in solid tumors continue.

Phase 1:

  • A phase 1 trial evaluating SAR442085, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, was initiated in multiple myeloma.
  • SAR443122, a RIPK1 inhibitor (collaboration with Denali) entered into phase 1.
  • BIVV020, a complement C1s inhibitor, entered phase 1.
  • The combination SAR442720 (SHP2 inhibitor) and cobimetinib entered phase 1.
  • SAR441255, a trigonal GLP1R/GIPR/GCGR agonist was discontinued.

Collaboration

In September, Sanofi and Abbott announced a partnership to integrate glucose sensing and insulin delivery technologies that would help to further simplify how people with diabetes manage their condition.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Sanofi’s commitment to good corporate citizenship is rooted in its heritage. The company recognizes that its core business creates value for society, and it works to ensure that the benefits of this societal value are accessible to as many people around the world as possible. The company also has a longstanding commitment to the communities where it operates and to minimizing its impact on the environment.

Sanofi’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach was recognized during the third quarter of 2019 by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the 13th consecutive year. In 2019, Sanofi ranked as the third most sustainable pharmaceutical company with a score of 82 out of 100, up from 76 last year. The DJSI selects the best companies in each sector based on economic, social and environmental performance.

On October 15, 2019, Sanofi opened a digitally-enabled manufacturing facility in Framingham, one of the first of its kind, to develop transformative treatments for patients while significant reducing environmental waste. The facility will produce 80% less CO2 emissions compared to traditional technologies and reduce water and chemical usage by 91% and 94% respectively.

2019 third-quarter and first nine months financial results(10)

Business Net Income(10)

In the third quarter of 2019, Sanofi generated net sales of €9,499 million, an increase of 1.1% (down 1.1% at CER). First nine months sales were €26,518 million, up 4.1% on a reported basis (up 2.2% at CER).

Third-quarter other revenues increased 19.9% (up 14.8% at CER) to €422 million, reflecting the VaxServe sales contribution of non-Sanofi products (€372 million, up 18.7% at CER). First nine months other revenues increased 23.8% (up 17.2% at CER) to €1,096 million, driven by the VaxServe sales contribution of non-Sanofi products (€915 million, up 24.0% at CER) and the consolidation of collaboration revenues from Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (SOBI).

Third-quarter Gross Profit increased 0.9% to €6,787 million (down 1.8% at CER). The gross margin ratio decreased 0.2 percentage points to 71.4% (71.2% at CER) versus the third quarter of 2018. The favorable effects from Dupixent® and the divestment of the European generics business were more than offset by the negative impact from U.S. Diabetes net price evolution, the decline in Established Rx Products sales in Mature Markets as well as the impact of Vaccines and the Zantac® recall. In the third quarter of 2019, the gross margin ratio of segments were 74.8% for Pharmaceuticals (up 1.2 percentage points), 64.8% for CHC (down 2.0 percentage points) and 67.4% for Vaccines (down 2.7 percentage points). First nine months Gross Profit increased 5.1% to €19,095 million (up 2.8% at CER). In the first nine months of 2019, the gross margin ratio increased 0.7 percentage points to 72.0% (71.8% at CER) versus the same period of 2018. Sanofi expects its full-year 2019 gross margin ratio to be between 70% and 71% at CER.

Research and Development (R&D) expenses decreased 6.8% to €1,362 million in the third quarter of 2019. At CER, R&D expenses decreased 8.1%, reflecting favorable phasing of expenses, lower research costs resulting from restructuring of the immuno-oncology collaboration with Regeneron as well as a €45 million payment from SOBI related to the BIV001 opt-in. In the third quarter, the ratio of R&D to sales decreased 1.3 percentage points to 14.3% compared to the third quarter of 2018. First nine months R&D expenses increased 2.8% to €4,335 million (up 0.5% at CER). In the first nine months of 2019, the ratio of R&D to sales was 0.3 percentage points lower at 16.3% compared to the same period of 2018.

Third-quarter selling general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased 0.6% to €2,314 million. At CER, SG&A expenses were down 1.5%, reflecting cost efficiency measures notably in Primary Care in Mature Markets and support functions as well as the impact of the European generics disposal which more than offset increased investments in Specialty Care. In the third quarter, the ratio of SG&A to sales decreased 0.1 percentage points to 24.4% compared to the third quarter of 2018. First nine months SG&A expenses increased 0.6% to €7,156 million (down 1.4% at CER). In the first nine months of 2019, the ratio of SG&A to sales was 0.9 percentage points lower at 27.0% compared to the same period of 2018.

Third-quarter operating expenses were €3,676 million, a decrease of 2.3% and 4.1% at CER. Excluding the payment from SOBI and the disposal of European generics business, operating expenses decreased 1.9% at CER in the third quarter. First nine months operating expenses were €11,491 million, an increase of 1.5% and down 0.7% at CER.

Third-quarter other current operating income net of expenses was -€119 million versus -€74 million in the third quarter of 2018. This line includes the share of profit to Regeneron of the monoclonal antibodies Alliance, reimbursement of development costs by Regeneron and the reimbursement of commercialization-related expenses incurred by Regeneron. This line also includes the share of profit/loss related to the immuno-oncology Alliance. In the third quarter of 2019, a total of €23 million of capital gains on non-strategic CHC brand disposals was also recorded. First nine months other current operating income net of expenses was -€312 million versus €84 million in the same period of 2018.

The share of profits from associates was €132 million in the third quarter versus €153 million for the same period of 2018, mainly reflecting the share of profits in Regeneron. In the first nine months, the share of profits from associates was broadly stable at €301 million versus the same period of 2018.

In the third quarter, non-controlling interests were -€12 million versus -€26 million in the third quarter of 2018, reflecting the end of non-controlling interests related to the Alliance with Bristol-Myers Squibb on Plavix® and Avapro®. First nine months non-controlling interests were -€27 million versus -€84 million for the same period of 2018.

Third-quarter business operating income increased 3.1% to €3,112 million. At CER, business operating income decreased 0.9%. The ratio of business operating income to net sales increased 0.7 percentage points to 32.8% versus the third quarter of 2018. Over the period, the business operating income ratio of segments were 39.0% for Pharmaceuticals (up 3.4 percentage points), 32.0% for CHC (down 1.2 percentage points) and 50.0% for Vaccines (down 5.3 percentage points).

(10) See Appendix 3 for 2019 third-quarter consolidated income statement; see Appendix 8 for definitions of financial indicators, and Appendix 4 for reconciliation of IFRS net income reported to business net income.

First nine months business operating income was €7,566 million, up 5.9% (up 3.7% at CER). In the first nine months of 2019, the ratio of business operating income to net sales increased 0.4 percentage points to 28.5%.

Net financial expenses were -€71 million in the third quarter versus -€106 million in the same period of 2018, reflecting lower cost of net debt. First nine months net financial expenses were -€201 million versus -€211 million in the same period of 2018.

Third-quarter and first nine months effective tax rate was stable at 22.0%. Sanofi is currently actively engaged with the Chinese Ministry of Finance to support and cooperate with a Pharmaceutical sector audit process underway.

Third-quarter business net income(10) increased 4.3% to €2,399 million and increased 0.2% at CER. The ratio of business net income to net sales increased 0.8 percentage points to 25.3% versus the third quarter of 2018. First nine months 2019 business net income(10) increased 6.4% to €5,805 million and increased 4.1% at CER. The ratio of business net income to net sales increased 0.5 percentage points to 21.9% versus the first nine months of 2018.

In the third quarter of 2019, business earnings per share(10) (EPS) increased 4.3% to €1.92 on a reported basis and was stable at CER. The average number of shares outstanding was 1,252.2 million versus 1,247.1 million in the third quarter of 2018.

In the first nine months of 2019, business earnings per share(10) was €4.65, up 6.4% on a reported basis and up 4.1% at CER. The average number of shares outstanding was 1,248.9 million in the first nine months of 2019 versus 1,247.6 million in the first nine months of 2018.

Reconciliation of IFRS net income reported to business net income (see Appendix 4)

In the first nine months of 2019, the IFRS net income was €2,816 million. The main items excluded from the business net income were:

  • An amortization charge of €1,636 million related to fair value remeasurement on intangible assets of acquired companies (primarily Genzyme: €550 million, Bioverativ: €380 million, Boehringer Ingelheim CHC business: €184 million, Aventis: €153 million) and to acquired intangible assets (licenses/products: €80 million). An amortization charge of €520 million related to fair value remeasurement on intangible assets of acquired companies (primarily Genzyme: €182 million, Bioverativ: €108 million, Boehringer Ingelheim CHC business: €62 million, Aventis: €46 million) and to acquired intangible assets (licenses/products: €24 million) was recorded in the third quarter. These items have no cash impact on the Company.

Appendix 8: Definitions of non-GAAP financial indicators

Company

“Company” corresponds to Sanofi and its subsidiaries.

Company 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 net sales to Company sales at constant exchange rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019
