Biotest, a Grifols Group company, has projected USD 1 billion in U.S. sales of its FDA-approved intravenous immunoglobulin, Yimmugo®, over the next seven years. Expected to launch in Q1 2025, Yimmugo will be distributed by Kedrion in the U.S. This marks Grifols' expansion in the U.S. market for immunodeficiency treatments, leveraging its existing portfolio and new proteins like fibrinogen and trimodulin, both in late-stage development. Yimmugo is the first Biotest product from their new FDA-certified facility in Germany, enhancing Grifols' strategy to meet rising demand for immunoglobulins.
Grifols has completed the sale of a 20% equity stake in Shanghai RAAS (SRAAS) to Haier Group for RMB 12.5 billion (EUR 1.6 billion). The strategic alliance aims to enhance China's healthcare system through synergies between Grifols' plasma and diagnostic expertise and Haier's healthcare solutions portfolio. Grifols retains a 6.58% stake in SRAAS and a seat on the Board of Directors. The exclusive albumin distribution agreement between Grifols and SRAAS is extended for 10 years, with an option to prolong it to 2044. Proceeds from the sale will be used by Grifols to reduce debt. The collaboration seeks to capitalize on China's growing demand for albumin and expand their footprint in life sciences, clinical medicine, and biotechnology.
The transaction has received regulatory approvals and compliance confirmation from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Grifols and SRAAS have worked together for four years, during which the Chinese hemoderivatives market has seen double-digit growth.
Grifols announced that its subsidiary Biotest has received FDA approval for Yimmugo®, an innovative intravenous immunoglobulin (Ig) to treat primary immunodeficiencies (PID). This approval marks Yimmugo as the first U.S.-approved medicine in Biotest’s portfolio, produced at their FDA-certified facility in Germany. Already approved in Europe, Yimmugo’s U.S. launch is expected in the latter half of 2024. The approval is anticipated to bolster Grifols' revenue and support its growth strategy. Additionally, Biotest has two more plasma proteins in late-stage development aimed at U.S. and other markets.
