Sanofi: Q4 sales growth of 10.3%, 2024 business EPS guidance exceeded, and strong business EPS rebound expected in 2025
Paris, January 30, 2025
Q4: sales growth of 10.3% at CER1 and business EPS2 of €1.31
•Pharma launches up 56.5%, reaching sales of €0.8 billion, 8% of total sales, led by ALTUVIIIO
•Dupixent sales up 16.0% to €3.5 billion
•Vaccines sales up 10.8% to €2.2 billion, driven by Beyfortus sales in Europe
•Business EPS of €1.31, -11.0% at CER and -14.9% reported; IFRS EPS of €0.54
FY: double-digit sales growth and business EPS guidance exceeded
•Sales totaled €41.1 billion, an increase of 11.3% at CER
•Sales targets exceeded: Dupixent >€13 billion and Beyfortus blockbuster status (€1.7 billion) in its first full year
•Research and Development expenses reached €7.4 billion, up 14.6%, in line with commitments
•Business EPS of €7.12, +4.1% at CER, above guidance, and -1.8% reported; IFRS EPS of €4.59
•The Board of Directors met on January 29, 2025; proposes a dividend of €3.92 for 2024, 30th year of consecutive increases
Pipeline: increased investment and progress
•Q4: four regulatory approvals: Dupixent EoE (children) (EU), Kevzara PMR (EU), Cerdelga GD1 (children) (EU), Efluelda flu (JP)3
•FY: 14 regulatory approvals of medicines and vaccines, 21 regulatory submission acceptances, and eight positive phase 3 readouts emphasize a positive and improving pipeline momentum
Further progress towards a focused biopharma business
•Intention to sell a controlling stake in Opella consumer health at an attractive valuation; closing in Q2 2025 at the earliest4
Guidance
•In 2025, sales are anticipated to grow by a mid-to-high single-digit percentage at CER5. Sanofi confirms the expectation of a strong rebound in business EPS with growth at a low double-digit percentage at CER (before share buyback).6
•Sanofi intends to execute a share buyback program in 2025 of €5 billion. Shares will be purchased preferably through block trades and in the open market with the purpose of cancellation.
Paul Hudson, Chief Executive Officer: “We achieved double-digit sales growth in 2024 while pursuing the transformation of the company. Innovation was a key driver of our growth as launches already contributed 11 percent of sales, with Beyfortus becoming a blockbuster in its first full year of sales. We exceeded our business EPS guidance. In 2024, we announced an intention to sell a controlling stake in Opella consumer health, which will make Sanofi a focused, science-driven biopharma company. We increased R&D investments and achieved significant progress with our pipeline in 2024, including positive phase 3 study results for new medicines such as rilzabrutinib in rare diseases and tolebrutinib in multiple sclerosis. As we enter 2025, we expect continued, solid growth in sales and a strong rebound in earnings. We are also confident in the mid to long-term growth prospects of Sanofi, supported by ongoing launches, Dupixent (currently expected to reach sales of around €22 billion in 20307, in line with the current ambition), and expected future launches from our pipeline.”

Net sales (€ million) | Q4 2024 | Change at CER | FY 2024 | Change at CER |
United States | 5,151 | | +13.3 | % | 19,986 | | +16.2 | % |
Europe | 2,433 | | +6.0 | % | 9,027 | | +2.3 | % |
Rest of World | 2,980 | | +8.8 | % | 12,068 | | +10.7 | % |
of which China | 549 | | -10.4 | % | 2,666 | | -0.5 | % |
US sales were €5,151 million and increased by 13.3%. The strong performance was driven by launches, including Beyfortus, and by Dupixent and Lantus. Other main medicines, and vaccines excluding Beyfortus had slightly lower sales during the quarter.
Europe sales were €2,433 million and increased by 6.0%. Growth was driven by Beyfortus, Dupixent and pharma launches. Other medicines, including Aubagio which faced generic competition, and flu vaccines all had lower sales during Q4.
Rest of World sales were €2,980 million and increased by 8.8%. The performance was led by Dupixent, Beyfortus, PPH and booster vaccines, and pharma launches offset by flu vaccines and legacy medicines, including Plavix. China sales were €549 million and decreased by 10.4%, generally impacted by one-off inventory effects ahead of upcoming changes to the national reimbursement drug list and volume-based procurement. In the year, China sales were broadly stable. Hyperinflation in Argentina contributed 1.8pp to the total Sanofi growth rate in the quarter and 1.4pp in the year.
Business operating income
In Q4 2024, business operating income (BOI) was €2,078 million and decreased by 7.7% (-11.8% reported). The ratio of BOI to net sales was 20.4% and decreased by 3.9pp (19.7% reported, down by 4.6pp). This decrease was mainly driven by a lower gross margin and higher R&D expenses. In FY 2024, BOI was €11,343 million and increased by 7.6% (+1.5% reported). The ratio of BOI to net sales was 28.6% and decreased by 1.0pp (27.6% reported, down by 2.0pp).
Business development
Business development, including strategic investments in external innovation is an integrated part of Sanofi’s efforts to continuously access optionality from new and promising scientific developments and platforms and replenish the pipeline.
In October, Sanofi made a strategic equity investment in Resalis Therapeutics, an Italian company dedicated to developing RNA-based therapies that tackle the root causes of complex metabolic disorders. Sanofi also participated in a €82 million series D financing of Agomab, a Belgian company focused on achieving disease modification by modulating fibrosis and regeneration in chronic indications such as fibrostenosing Crohn’s disease and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
In November, Sanofi made a strategic investment in Zucara, a Canadian company, as part of a $20 million series B financing. As part of the agreement, Sanofi will receive an exclusive right of first negotiation.
In November, Recordati announced the closing of the acquisition of global rights to Enjaymo. Enjaymo is a targeted, biologic medicine approved in the US, the EU and Japan for the treatment of cold agglutinin disease, a rare lymphoproliferative disease.

ALTUVIIIO (hemophilia A) sales were €230 million of which more than 85% were in the US. Growth continued to be driven by patient switches from older factor medicines and an increasing percentage from non-factor treatments. Rest of World sales of €32 million benefited from supply sales for the ongoing launch of Altuvoct in countries served by Sobi. The hemophilia A franchise (ALTUVIIIO and Eloctate) sales were €311 million and increased by 57.4% as fewer patients switch away from Eloctate.
Nexviazyme/Nexviadyme (Pompe disease) sales were €184 million and increased by 42.0%, driven by Europe (+68.6%) and Rest of World (+55.0%). In the US (+26.3%), most patients have already converted from Myozyme/Lumizyme. The Pompe disease franchise (Nexviazyme/Nexviadyme and Myozyme/Lumizyme) sales were €316 million and increased by 9.7%.
Rezurock (chronic graft-versus-host disease) sales were €132 million and increased by 53.5%, driven by the US (+43.4%) and by launches in Europe (sales of €8 million) and in Rest of World (sales of €5 million).
Sarclisa (multiple myeloma) sales were €130 million and increased by 30.1%, driven by increased use in earlier lines of treatment, mainly in second-line combination treatment, and market share gains in general, in Europe and in Rest of World, including Japan.
Cablivi (acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) sales were €73 million and increased by 24.1%, driven by an increased number of patients being identified for appropriate treatment, in the US and from launches in Europe and in Rest of World.
Xenpozyme (acid sphingomyelinase deficiency) sales were €38 million and increased by 50.0%, driven by an increased number of patients being identified for appropriate treatment across all geographies.
Enjaymo (cold agglutinin disease) sales were €22 million and decreased by 8.7%. On November 29, 2024, Recordati announced the closing of the acquisition of global rights to Enjaymo at which point Sanofi stopped booking in-market sales of the medicine.
Tzield (delay onset of type 1 diabetes) sales were €18 million, a sequential increase from Q3 2024 of €3 million, reflecting continued growth in patients and infusions supported by ongoing efforts to increase awareness and screening.

Dupixent | 3,458 | | +16.0 | % | 13,072 | | +23.1 | % |
Dupixent sales were €3,458 million and increased by 16.0%. In the US, sales were €2,551 million and increased by 10.4%. Growth was driven by continued strong prescription trends in atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, eosinophilic esophagitis, and prurigo nodularis. The launch in COPD has initiated and is expected to gain momentum in 2025. Sales growth was impacted by fewer business days in Q4 2024 compared to prior periods and a year-end gross-to-net adjustment. In Europe, Dupixent sales were €431 million and increased by 30.4% reflecting continued growth in all approved indications. Following the July 2024 EU approval in COPD, Europe benefited from initial sales in Germany while reimbursement decisions are anticipated throughout Europe in 2025. In Rest of World, sales were €476 million and increased by 38.1%, driven mainly by sales in Japan. In FY 2024, Dupixent sales were €13,072 million and increased by 23.1%, exceeding the target of around €13 billion in sales in 2024 at constant exchange rates.

| | | | |
Lantus sales were €439 million and increased by 63.4%. US sales were €193 million and benefited from a lower base of comparison from a net-price adjustment in the prior period and another quarter of windfall sales due to the continued unavailability of a competing medicine. In 2025, customer demand is expected to normalize and windfall sales to reduce as well.
Toujeo sales were €290 million and increased by 6.5%, mainly driven by Europe (+10.1%) and Rest of World (+7.4%) where Toujeo continued to increase its basal insulin market share. US sales declined slightly (-4.3%) as windfall sales started to subside.
Fabrazyme sales were €269 million and increased by 12.4%, mainly driven by growth in the number of patients and improved treatment compliance.
Lovenox sales were €231 million and decreased by 7.6%, reflecting the continued impact from volume-based procurement in China and biosimilar competition in Europe.
Plavix sales were €211 million and decreased by 16.9%, reflecting renewal of volume-based procurement in China and market volatility in Japan.
Cerezyme sales were €171 million and increased by 33.8%, driven by growth in the number of patients in Rest of World as well as an element of high-inflation boost from Argentina. The Gaucher disease franchise (Cerezyme and Cerdelga) sales were €258 million and increased by 27.4%.
Alprolix sales were €169 million and increased by 19.0%, benefiting from an increase in US market share and supply sales to Sobi.
Myozyme/Lumizyme sales were €132 million and decreased by 17.0% due to the aforesaid shift to Nexviazyme/Nexviadyme.
Thymoglobulin sales were €125 million and increased by 15.2%, reflecting increased sales in the US and in Rest of World.
Praluent sales were €110 million and decreased by 6.8%, reflecting lower sales in Rest of World, specifically in China.
Cerdelga sales were €87 million and increased by 16.0%, primarily driven by a higher number of patients and volume in the US.
Eloctate sales were €81 million and decreased by 21.4%, mainly due to patients converting to ALTUVIIIO in the US and in Japan.
Aubagio sales were €78 million and decreased by 35.5%, reflecting the loss of exclusivity starting in the US in March 2023 followed by the EU in September 2023. Aubagio sales are expected to continue to decrease albeit at a slower rate.
Vaccines

| | | | |
Total | 2,177 | | +10.8 | % | 8,299 | | +13.5 | % |
Vaccines sales were €2,177 million and increased by 10.8%, driven by continued Beyfortus roll-out, mostly in Europe. In FY 2024, sales were €8,299 million and increased by 13.5%. This performance was driven by a successful roll-out of Beyfortus, reaching €1.7 billion in sales, partly offset by the absence of COVID-19 sales compared to €226 million in FY 2023.
Beyfortus sales were €841 million, driven by additional sales in Europe, in particular Germany, and in the US. Beyfortus is now protecting babies in more than 20 countries. The continued successful roll-out was enabled by additional manufacturing capacity approved during the second half-year of 2024.
Polio/Pertussis/Hib (PPH) and booster vaccines sales were €632 million and increased by 10.8%, driven by increased booster demand in several countries to re-vaccinate adolescents and adults.
Influenza vaccines sales were €454 million and decreased by 36.8%, due to earlier deliveries in Q3 2024 compared to last year.
| | | | | |
SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q4 2024 | 4 |
Meningitis, Travel and endemic vaccines sales were €249 million and decreased by 4.2%, reflecting unfavorable US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention buying patterns partly offset by continued MenQuadfi roll-out in Europe and Rest of World.
Biopharma business operating income
In Q4 2024, Biopharma BOI was €2,038 million and decreased by 8.9% (-13.0% reported). The ratio of BOI to net sales was 20.0% and decreased by 4.2pp (19.3% reported, down by 4.9pp). This decrease was mainly driven by a lower gross margin and higher R&D expenses. In FY 2024, BOI was €11,285 million and increased by 7.3% (+1.2% reported). The ratio of BOI to net sales was 28.4% and decreased by 1.1pp (27.5% reported, down by 2.0pp).

Immunology
Dupixent (dupilumab)
•Following the adoption of a positive opinion by the European Medicines Agency (EMA)’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use, the EU approved Dupixent to treat eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children as young as one year of age. The approval covers children aged one to 11 years who weigh at least 15 kg and who are inadequately controlled by, intolerant to, or who are not candidates for conventional medicinal therapy. The approval is based on the two-part (Part A and B) EoE KIDS phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT04394351). This expands the initial approval in the EU for EoE in adults and adolescents and makes Dupixent the first and only medicine indicated to treat these young patients.
•The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review the resubmission of the supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) for Dupixent to treat adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) whose disease is not adequately controlled with H1 antihistamine treatment. The target action date for the FDA decision is April 18, 2025.
•Regeneron announced that the sBLA for Dupixent to treat adults with moderate-to-severe bullous pemphigoid (BP) had been submitted to the FDA. BP is a chronic and relapsing disease characterized by intense itch and blisters, reddening of the skin, and painful chronic lesions. The blisters and rash can form over much of the body and cause the skin to bleed and crust, resulting in patients being more prone to infection and affecting their daily functioning. Regeneron and Sanofi are awaiting regulatory submission acceptance in the US.
•The STYLE 1 (clinical study identifier: NCT06687967) and STYLE 2 (clinical study identifier: NCT06687980) phase 3 studies of Dupixent compared with placebo in patients with lichen simplex chronicus commenced dosing the first patient.
duvakitug (TL1A mAb)
The RELIEVE UCCD phase 2b study (clinical study identifier: NCT05499130) met its primary endpoints in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). RELIEVE UCCD assessed duvakitug, a human IgG1-λ2 monoclonal antibody targeting TL1A, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe inflammatory bowel disease. In the study, 36.2% (low dose) and 47.8% (high dose) of patients with UC treated with duvakitug achieved clinical remission compared to 20.4% on placebo, placebo-adjusted rates were 15.7% (low dose) and 27.4% (high dose), at week 14 (p=0.050 and 0.003, respectively). In patients with CD, 26.1% (low dose) and 47.8% (high dose) treated with duvakitug achieved endoscopic response compared to 13.0% on placebo, placebo-adjusted rates were 13.0% (low dose) and 34.8% (high dose), at week 14 (p=0.058 and <0.001, respectively). Overall, the treatment effect was consistent across subgroups. This is the first and only randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the impact of an anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody in CD. Detailed results are expected to be presented at the 20th Congress of the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation in February 2025.

SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q4 2024 | 5 |
Tzield (teplizumab)
The EMA accepted for review the regulatory submission for Tzield in children and adolescents to delay the onset (DO) of stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) as well as for the early intervention (EI) of stage 3 T1D. Tzield is approved in the US to delay the onset of stage 3 T1D.
balinatunfib (oral TNFR1si)
The SPECIFY-CD phase 2 study (clinical study identifier: NCT06637631) of balinatunfib compared with placebo in adults with moderate-to-severe CD commenced dosing the first patient.
lunsekimig (IL13xTSLP Nanobody VHH®)
The AIRLYMPUS phase 2 study (clinical study identifier: NCT06676319) of subcutaneous lunsekimig compared with placebo as an add-on therapy in high-risk asthma adults not currently eligible for biologic treatments commenced dosing the first patient.
Rare diseases
rilzabrutinib (BTK inhibitor)
•Positive results from the LUNA 3 phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT04562766) of rilzabrutinib in adults with persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a rare immune-mediated disease, were presented at the 66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition in San Diego, US. The primary endpoint was met, with rilzabrutinib demonstrating durable platelet response in 23% of ITP adult patients compared to 0% on the placebo arm (p<0.0001). Platelet response was achieved in 65% (n=86) of patients receiving rilzabrutinib compared to 33% (n=23) of patients on placebo. Other key secondary endpoints were met including reduced bleeding, number of weeks with platelet response, the need for rescue therapy use, and improved physical fatigue and quality of life measures. Rilzabrutinib is under regulatory review in the EU, China, and the US with a target date for the FDA decision of August 29, 2025.
•During the quarter, the 52-week open-label two-cohort phase 2 study (clinical study identifier: NCT04520451) of rilzabrutinib in IgG4-related disease showed considerable outcomes on disease flare and glucocorticoid sparing. Data are planned to be shared at a medical meeting later this year.
Cerdelga (eliglustat)
Cerdelga was approved in the EU for the treatment of children with Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1), expanding the current use in adults.
Neurology
tolebrutinib (BTK inhibitor)
The FDA granted breakthrough-therapy designation to tolebrutinib for the treatment of adults with non-relapsing secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (nrSPMS). This is based on positive results from the HERCULES phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT04411641), demonstrating that tolebrutinib delayed the time to onset of 6-month confirmed disability progression by 31% compared to placebo (HR 0.69; 95% CI 0.55-0.88; p=0.0026), with further analysis of secondary endpoints demonstrating that the number of participants who experienced confirmed disability improvement was nearly double with tolebrutinib (10%) compared to those on placebo (5%) (HR 1.88; 95% CI 1.10-3.21; nominal p=0.021). Sanofi is awaiting regulatory submission acceptance in the US with an EU submission anticipated during H1 2025.
The PERSEUS phase 3 study in primary progressive MS (PPMS) is ongoing with study results anticipated in H2 2025 (clinical study identifier: NCT04458051).
Oncology
Sarclisa (isatuximab)
The EMA accepted for review the regulatory submission for Sarclisa in combination with lenalidomide, bortezomib, and dexamethasone (RVd) induction therapy in transplant-eligible, newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM, TE) based on the GMMG-HD7 phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT03617731). In the study, Sarclisa significantly prolonged progression-free survival from first randomization, resulting in a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 30% reduction in disease progression or death, compared to RVd induction regardless of the maintenance regimen (HR 0.70; 95% CI 0.52-0.95; stratified log-rank p=0.0184).
Vaccines
SP0202 (PCV21)
A phase 3 program (clinical study identifier: NCT06736041) was initiated for SP0202, a 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV21). SP0202 is the first pneumococcal conjugate vaccine candidate with more than 20 serotypes to enter phase 3 in infants and toddlers. The phase 3 program will include more than 7,700 infants, toddlers, young children, and adolescents across multiple geographies, including in the US, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Latin America. In addition, Sanofi and SK bioscience expanded the agreement to develop, license and commercialize next-generation PCVs for both pediatric and adult populations. Despite decades of public health vaccination programs, invasive pneumococcal disease continues to inflict a substantial burden of disease, primarily due to Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes that are not included in currently available conjugate vaccines. Next-generation PCVs have the potential to extend vaccine coverage of disease-causing serotypes.

SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q4 2024 | 8 |
Corporate Social Responsibility update at the end of Q4 2024
Access
Sanofi is ranked 3rd in the 2024 Access to Medicine (ATM) Index
The ATM Index evaluates the efforts of 20 leading pharmaceutical companies in expanding access to essential medicines across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It measures progress across three critical areas: governance of access, research and development, and equitable product delivery.
In the 2024 ATM Index, Sanofi ranked third, significantly improving its performance from the previous edition of the index, where Sanofi was ranked eighth.
Sanofi’s performance reflects leadership in “governance of access”, where Sanofi ranked first, with the integrated access-to-medicine strategy that is linked to leadership incentives and a clear methodology for tracking patient reach. Furthermore, Sanofi has consistently implemented structured access planning for projects in the pipeline. In addition, the vaccines portfolio, as well as the Global Health Unit (GHU) support equitable product delivery and capacity building initiatives that strengthen local healthcare systems. The GHU was also recognized as a best practice example for inclusive business models by the ATM Index report.
As an example, Sanofi concluded a manufacturing partnership with Biovac in South Africa in 2024, designed to enable regional manufacturing of polio vaccines to serve the potential needs of over 40 African countries. Sanofi will continue to produce the bulk of the Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) and Biovac, who will hold the marketing authorization, will be responsible for final formulation, filling, packaging, and delivery of millions of IPV doses to UNICEF for countries supported by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) in Africa.
As showcased in its first Impact Report, the GHU significantly scaled its operations in 2024, delivering medicines from its Impact portfolio, a dedicated line of high-quality, affordable treatments for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) to 30 LMICs. This includes life-saving treatments for diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer, with a clear goal to reach two million patients by 2030.
The GHU invests heavily in strengthening of health systems, from training healthcare workers to supporting infrastructure improvements. In Zanzibar, Sanofi worked with local organizations to deliver integrated care for cardio-metabolic diseases, using digital self-management tools and community health ambassadors to reach patients in remote areas. In Djibouti, Sanofi collaborated with the Ministry of Health to improve care for diabetes and hypertension through health worker training programs and supply chain optimization.
Since its launch, the GHU has:
•Reached over 790,000 patients with NCD treatments;
•Trained over 13,000 healthcare providers and community health workers in NCD management; and
•Supported 128 health facilities in optimizing access and availability of NCD treatments.

SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q4 2024 | 9 |
Q4 and FY 2024 financial results
Business net income1
Net sales were €10,564 million in Q4 2024 and increased by 9.1% (10.3% at CER). In FY 2024, net sales were €41,081 million and increased by 8.6% (11.3% at CER).
Other revenues were €856 million in Q4 2024 and decreased by 38.0% (37.9% at CER) due to COVID-19 revenue of €411 in Q4 2023. VaxServe sales of non-Sanofi products were €560 million and decreased by 21.2% (21.5% at CER). In FY 2024, other revenues were €3,205 million and decreased by 15.7% (13.3% at CER) due to COVID-19 revenue of €509 million in 2023. VaxServe sales of non-Sanofi products were €1,959 million and decreased by 9.6% (9.5% at CER). In addition, other revenues included sales of Opella products in certain markets (€339 million), supply sales to Opella (€163 million), royalties (€121 million) and others/manufacturing services (€623 million).
Gross profit was €7,844 million in Q4 2024 and increased by 5.4% (6.9% at CER). The gross margin was 74.3% and decreased by 2.5pp (74.5% at CER, down by 2.3pp). The lower gross margin was caused by the lack of COVID-19 other revenue in 2024. In FY 2024, the gross profit was €31,091 million and increased by 7.2% (10.3% at CER). The gross margin was 75.7% and decreased by 1.0pp (76.1% at CER, down by 0.6 pp). The lower gross margin was primarily due to the lack of COVID-19 other revenue in 2024.
Research and Development expenses were €2,257 million in Q4 2024 and increased by 24.4% (24.4% at CER). This reflected increased activity in mid- and late-stage development as several new medicines advanced to phase 3 studies or additional phase 2 studies were initiated in new indications. C.€60 million of the increase was from one-off costs associated with portfolio prioritization, including in oncology. The ratio of R&D to net sales was 21.4% and increased by 2.7pp. In FY 2024, R&D expenses were €7,394 million and increased by 13.6% (14.6% at CER). This increase reflected similar factors as mentioned above. The ratio of R&D to net sales was 18.0% and increased by 0.8pp.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were €2,648 million in Q4 2024 and increased by 7.4% (7.9% at CER), a moderate increase that still generated growth leverage. The ratio of SG&A to net sales was 25.1% and decreased by 0.4pp. In FY 2024, SG&A expenses were €9,183 million and increased by 2.8% (4.5% at CER).

Total operating expenses were €4,905 million in Q4 2024 and increased by 14.6% (14.9% at CER). In FY 2024, total operating expenses were €16,577 million and increased by 7.4% (8.8% at CER).
Other operating income net of expenses was -€886 million in Q4 2024 compared to -€844 million in Q4 2023. Income included €179 million from divestments of medicines/portfolio streamlining, compared to €62 million in Q4 2023. The income was more than offset by an expense of €1,044 million from the share of profit in the Regeneron monoclonal antibody alliance compared to €889 million in Q4 2023. More details are in appendix 7. In FY 2024, other operating income net of expenses was -€3,293 million compared to -€2,464 million in 2023. Income from divestments was €394 million compared to €452 million in 2023. Expenses from the Regeneron monoclonal antibody alliance were €3,947 million compared to €3,196 million in FY 2023.
Share of profit from associates was €32 million in Q4 2024 compared to €41 million in Q4 2023 and included the share of US profit related to Vaxelis. In FY 2024, share of profit from associates was €136 million compared to €101 million in FY 2023.
Business operating income was €2,078 million in Q4 2024 and decreased by 11.8% (-7.7% at CER). The ratio of BOI to net sales was 19.7% and decreased by 4.6pp (20.4% at CER, down by 3.9pp). In FY 2024, BOI was €11,343 million and increased by 1.5% (+7.6% at CER). The ratio of BOI to net sales was 27.6% and decreased by 2.0pp (28.6% at CER, down by 1.0pp).
Net financial expenses were €62 million in Q4 2024 compared to €45 million in Q4 2023. In FY 2024, net financial expenses were €263 million compared to €168 million in FY 2023, reflecting increased net debt and higher average interest rates.
The effective tax rate increased to 18.8% in Q4 2024 from 16.5% in Q4 2023 and increased to 19.8% in FY 2024 from 17.7% in FY 2023. The effective tax rate has increased mainly due to the implementation of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Pillar Two rules.
Business net income was €1,642 million in Q4 2024 and decreased by 15.1% (-11.2% at CER). The ratio of business net income to net sales was 15.5% and decreased by 4.5pp (16.1% at CER, down by 3.9pp).

Opella
Sanofi intends to sell a controlling stake in Opella consumer health to CD&R with a closing in Q2 2025 at the earliest. Sanofi will retain c.48% ownership.
In Q4 2024, and under the new scope of reporting, sales were €1,202 million and increased by 8% from €1,108 million in Q4 2023, primarily driven by the Wellness category (Qunol and Digestive). The Seasonal category remained stable in a lower Cough & Cold market. In FY 2024, also under the new scope of reporting, sales were €4,948 million and increased by 4% from €4,765 million in 2023. On January 21, 2025, Opella announced that the FDA had lifted a clinical hold on its planned actual use trial (AUT) to support the switch of Cialis (tadalafil) from a prescription to an over-the-counter medicine.

SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q4 2024 | 10 |
Reconciliation of IFRS net income reported to business net income (see Appendix 4)
In FY 2024, the IFRS net income was €5,744 million. The main items excluded from the business net income were:
•Net income from Opella discontinued operation amounted to €64 million.
•An amortization charge of €1,749 million related to intangible assets measured at their acquisition-date fair values of -€1,653 million (mainly Bioverativ -€629 million, Provention Bio -€215 million, Ablynx -€168 million, Kadmon -€164 million, Genzyme -€152 million and Beyfortus -€115 million) and to intangible assets from separate acquisitions, measured initially at acquisition cost (licenses/products) of -€96 million. These items had no cash impact.
•A net impairment expense of €9 million comprising €200 millions expenses recorded in Q4 2024 mainly related to discontinued research and development projects partially offset in the YTD by impairment reversals related to increase in the expected recoverable amounts of certain marketed products and other rights in the Biopharma segment.
•Restructuring costs and similar items of €1,396 million mainly related to redundancy plans announced during FY 2024.
•Other gains and losses, and a litigation charge of €470 million mainly comprising a provision recognized in respect of the litigation related to Plavix (clopidogrel) in the US State of Hawaii.
•A financial charge of €291 million related to the remeasurement of expected future royalty on Beyfortus US sales.
•A €828 million tax effect arising from the items listed above, mainly comprising €310 million of deferred taxes generated by amortization of intangible assets and €320 million associated with restructuring costs and similar items (see Appendix 4).
•A loss of €77 million corresponding to the equity investment in EUROAPI.
Cash flow
In FY 2024, free cash flow before restructuring, acquisitions and disposals amounted to €7,517 million after a change in net working capital (-€507 million), notably including a decrease of US rebate provisions (€1,330 million) following the decision to reduce the Lantus list price effective January 1, 2024, and capital expenditures (-€1,808 million). After acquisitions1 (-€1,434 million), proceeds from disposals (€805 million) and payments related to restructuring and similar items (-€933 million), free cash flow2 was €5,955 million.
Net debt
After the acquisition of Inhibrx Inc. (-€1,900 million), the dividend paid by Sanofi (-€4,704 million) and the impact of the cash provided by the discontinued Opella business (€322 million), the change in net debt before Opella reclassification to “Assets held-for-sale” was -€881 million. After the reclassification of Opella to “Assets held-for-sale” (-€98 million), net debt increased from €7,793 million on December 31, 2023, to €8,772 million on December 31, 2024 (amount net of €7,441 million cash and cash equivalents).
Shareholder return
The Board of Directors met on January 29, 2025, and proposes a dividend of €3.92 for 2024, marking 30 years of consecutive increases.

Appendix 9: Definitions of non-IFRS financial indicators
Company sales at constant exchange rates (CER)
References to changes in net sales “at constant exchange rates” (CER) means that it excludes the effect of changes in exchange rates.
The effect of exchange rates is eliminated 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 Q4 and FY 2024

Business net income
Sanofi publishes a key non-IFRS indicator. Business net income is defined as net income attributable to equity holders of Sanofi excluding:
•net income from discontinued operations,
•amortization of intangible assets,
•impairment of intangible assets,
•fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration related to business combinations or to disposals,
•expenses arising from the impact of acquisitions on inventories,
•restructuring costs and similar items1,
•other gains and losses (including gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets1),
•costs or provisions associated with litigation1,
•financial (income)/expense related to liabilities carried at amortized cost other than net indebtedness,
•tax effects related to the items listed above as well as effects of major tax disputes,
•the share of profits/losses from investments accounted for using the equity method, except for joint ventures and associates with which Sanofi has a strategic alliance,
•net income attributable to non-controlling interests related to the items listed above.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial indicator which is reviewed by management, and which management believes provides useful information to measure the net cash generated from Sanofi’s operations that is available for strategic investments2 (net of divestments3), for debt repayment, and for capital return to shareholders. Free cash flow is determined from the Business net income adjusted for depreciation, amortization, and impairment, share of profit/loss in associates and joint ventures net of dividends received, gains and losses on disposals, net change in provisions including pensions and other post-employment benefits, deferred taxes, share-based expense, and other non-cash items. It comprises net changes in working capital, capital expenditures and other asset acquisitions(2) net of disposal proceeds(2), and payments related to restructuring and similar items. Free cash flow is not defined by IFRS, and it is not a substitute measure for the IFRS aggregate net cash flows in operating activities.
