[Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR] Roche sales increase by 5% (CER) in first half of 2024; strong growth in second quarter – full-year earnings outlook raised
Roche reported a 5% increase in sales at constant exchange rates (CER) in the first half of 2024, with Group sales reaching CHF 29.8 billion. Growth was driven by high demand for medicines and diagnostics, excluding COVID-19 products, which saw an 8% sales increase.
Pharmaceuticals Division sales rose by 5%, propelled by medicines like Vabysmo, which generated CHF 1.8 billion. Diagnostics Division sales also increased by 5%, with significant demand for immunodiagnostic products.
Core operating profit grew by 11%, and core earnings per share increased by 9%. However, IFRS net income declined by 4% due to asset impairments and litigation provisions base effects from 2023.
Roche raised its full-year earnings outlook and expects mid-single-digit Group sales growth and high-single-digit core EPS growth at CER. The company received multiple regulatory approvals, including EU approval for Alecensa and Ocrevus.
Roche ha registrato un aumento del 5% delle vendite a tassi di cambio costanti (CER) nel primo semestre del 2024, con vendite del Gruppo che hanno raggiunto 29,8 miliardi di CHF. La crescita è stata sostenuta dall'alta domanda di medicinali e diagnostica, escluse le prodotti per il COVID-19, che hanno visto un aumento del 8% delle vendite.
Le vendite della Divisione Farmaceutica sono aumentate del 5%, grazie a medicinali come Vabysmo, che ha generato 1,8 miliardi di CHF. Anche le vendite della Divisione Diagnostica sono aumentate del 5%, con una notevole richiesta di prodotti immunodiagnostici.
Il profitto operativo netto è aumentato dell'11% e gli utili per azione core sono cresciuti del 9%. Tuttavia, l'utile netto IFRS è diminuito del 4% a causa di svalutazioni degli attivi e effetti di base delle provviste legali del 2023.
Roche ha aumentato le sue previsioni di utili annuali e si aspetta una crescita delle vendite del Gruppo a cifra singola media e una crescita degli utili per azione core a cifra singola alta a tassi di cambio costanti. L'azienda ha ricevuto molteplici approvazioni regolatorie, inclusa l'approvazione dell'UE per Alecensa e Ocrevus.
Roche reportó un aumento del 5% en las ventas a tasas de cambio constantes (CER) en la primera mitad de 2024, con ventas del Grupo alcanzando 29.8 mil millones de CHF. El crecimiento fue impulsado por la alta demanda de medicamentos y diagnósticos, excluyendo productos para COVID-19, que vieron un aumento del 8% en las ventas.
Las ventas de la División Farmacéutica aumentaron un 5%, impulsadas por medicamentos como Vabysmo, que generó 1.8 mil millones de CHF. Las ventas de la División de Diagnósticos también incrementaron un 5%, con una demanda significativa de productos inmunodiagnósticos.
El beneficio operativo principal creció un 11%, y las ganancias por acción principales aumentaron un 9%. Sin embargo, el ingreso neto según IFRS disminuyó un 4% debido a deterioros de activos y efectos de base de provisiones por litigios del 2023.
Roche elevó su perspectiva de ganancias anual y espera un crecimiento en las ventas del Grupo de un solo dígito medio y un crecimiento en EPS core de un solo dígito alto a CER. La compañía recibió múltiples aprobaciones regulatorias, incluida la aprobación de la UE para Alecensa y Ocrevus.
로슈는 2024년 상반기 매출이 5% 증가했다고 보고하였으며, 그룹 매출은 298억 스위스 프랑에 도달했습니다. 성장은 COVID-19 제품을 제외한 의약품과 진단에 대한 높은 수요에 의해 주도되었으며, 이 부문에서는 매출이 8% 증가했습니다.
제약 부문의 매출은 5% 증가했으며, Vabysmo와 같은 의약품이 18억 스위스 프랑의 매출을 기록했습니다. 진단 부문의 매출도 5% 증가하였으며, 면역 진단 제품에 대한 수요가 상당했습니다.
핵심 운영 이익은 11% 증가하였고, 핵심 주당 이익은 9% 증가했습니다. 그러나 IFRS 기준 순수익은 자산 손상 및 2023년 소송 준비금의 기초 효과로 인해 4% 감소했습니다.
로슈는 연간 이익 전망을 높였으며 중간 단일 자릿수 그룹 매출 성장과 고 단일 자릿수 핵심 EPS 성장을 기대하고 있습니다. 이 회사는 Alecensa 및 Ocrevus에 대한 EU 승인을 포함하여 여러 규제 승인을 받았습니다.

Roche CEO Thomas Schinecker: “Our strong sales growth in the first half of 2024 reflects the high demand for our innovative medicines and diagnostics. In the second quarter, we saw an acceleration of our growth momentum as Group sales were no longer impacted by the decline in COVID-19 sales, resulting in very strong sales growth for the Group. Based on our strong half-year results, we are raising our earnings outlook for the full year.
We also received a number of important regulatory approvals in the last three months, including EU approval for Alecensa for a form of early-stage lung cancer, as well as for the subcutaneous injection of Ocrevus, which provides an additional treatment option for multiple sclerosis. I am particularly pleased about the US approval for the ready-to-use prefilled syringe of our eye medicine Vabysmo, which continues to be our main growth driver. In diagnostics, our new Accu-Chek SmartGuide solution for continuous blood glucose monitoring uses artificial intelligence to provide reliable blood glucose level forecasts for several hours.”
