Third-quarter sales in Europe were €2,334 million, up 1.9% mainly due to Vaccines (up 10.1%) and the roll-out of Dupixent® and Praluent® which offset lower sales in Established Rx Products (down 2.9%). In Europe, first nine months sales increased 0.8% to €7,092 million.

Sales in Japan increased 6.2% to €412 million in the third quarter, driven by Vaccines and the Rare Blood Disorder franchise which offset the impact of Plavix®  generic competition. In Japan, first nine months sales decreased 2.2% to €1,287 million.

R&D update

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

Regulatory update

Regulatory updates since July 31, 2018 include the following:

  • In October, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Dupixent® (dupilumab, collaboration with Regeneron) as an add-on maintenance therapy in patients with moderate-to-severe asthma aged 12 years and older with an eosinophilic phenotype or with oral corticosteroid-dependent asthma.
     
  • In October, the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion for the marketing authorization of Dengvaxia® (dengue tetravalent vaccine), recommending its approval in Europe.
     
  • In September, Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc, collaboration with Regeneron) was approved in the U.S. for the treatment of patients with metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) or locally advanced CSCC who are not candidates for curative surgery or curative radiation.
     
  • In September, Sanofi and Regeneron announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Praluent® (alirocumab, collaboration with Regeneron). The sBLA outlines a proposed update to the prescribing information to include the effect of Praluent® in reducing the overall risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.
     
  • In September, the European Commission granted marketing authorization for Cablivi® (caplacizumab) for the treatment of adults with acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP). In addition, the FDA accepted for priority review the Biologics License Application for caplacizumab for adults experiencing an episode of aTTP.
     
  • Dupixent® (dupilumab, collaboration with Regeneron) was submitted to the FDA and to the EMA for the treatment of atopic dermatitis for adolescent patients (aged 12-17 years).

At the end of October 2018, the R&D pipeline contained 94 projects including 42 new molecular entities in clinical development. 40 projects are in phase 3 or have been submitted to the regulatory authorities for approval.

Portfolio update

Phase 3:

  • In October Sanofi and Regeneron announced that two pivotal Phase 3 placebo-controlled trials evaluating Dupixent® (dupilumab) in adults with inadequately-controlled chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps met all primary and secondary endpoints. Detailed results from these trials will be submitted for presentation at future medical meetings, and will form part of the companies' regulatory submissions.
  • In September, detailed results from a pivotal Phase 3 trial showing Dupixent® (dupilumab) monotherapy demonstrated a significant improvement in signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis and certain quality of life measures in adolescent patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, were presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress.
  • The results of the first Phase 3 evaluating MenQuadTT, a quadrivalent meningococcal conjugated vaccine, were presented in September at the International Pathogenic Neisseria Conference. This study demonstrated that MenQuadTT was safe and as immunogenic as Menactra® when administered as a booster dose in adolescents and adults (15 yrs and above) primed with quadrivalent meningococcal conjugated vaccines
  • Results from a Phase 3 trial for Fluzone® High-Dose Quadrivalent showed comparable safety and immunogenicity to Fluzone® High-Dose Trivalent. The primary endpoint was to determine if the quadrivalent high-dose vaccine induces an immune response that is non-inferior to that produced by Fluzone® High-Dose Trivalent. The key secondary endpoints were to evaluate the safety of the vaccine and demonstrate that each B strain in the quadrivalent high-dose vaccine induces an immune response that is superior to that produced by the trivalent high-dose vaccine not containing the corresponding B virus type.
  • A Phase 3 trial evaluating isatuximab was initiated in newly-diagnosed transplant-eligible multiple myeloma patients (in conjunction with the German Multiple Myeloma Group, GMMG).
  • Two Phase 3 trials, evaluating sarilumab (collaboration with Regeneron) for the treatment of Giant Cell arteritis and Polymyalgia Rheumatica, are in the process of being initiated.
  • A Phase 3 trial evaluating Dupixent® (dupilumab) in Eosinophilic esophagitis has been initiated.
  • Sanofi will not initiate a Phase 3 program to evaluate Lemtrada® in primary progressive multiple sclerosis.

Phase 2:

  • A Phase 2 study evaluating the combination of isatuximab and atezolizumab (PD-L1 monoclonal antibody from Roche) was initiated in advanced malignancies.
  • A Phase 2 Study of AR101 (collaboration with Aimmune) with adjunctive dupilumab was initiated in peanut-allergic patients (ages 6-17).
  • Following the results of the Phase 2b RESPIRE study, Sanofi decided not to pursue further development of ALX0171 (anti RSV Nanobody - Respiratory Syncitial Virus ) in the infant population. While results were positive for the primary endpoint of anti-viral efficacy and target exposure was achieved, consistent clinical efficacy was not observed across secondary endpoints. Sanofi will continue the phase 2 program (BREEZE) in adult patients who have received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Phase 1:

  • SAR442720, an SHP2 inhibitor (collaboration with Revolution Medicines), entered Phase 1 in solid tumors.
  • SAR440234, a T-cell engaging multi-specific monoclonal antibody, entered Phase 1 for the treatment of leukemia.

2018 third-quarter and first nine months financial results(12)

Business Net Income(12)

In the third quarter of 2018, Sanofi generated net sales of €9,392 million, an increase of 3.7% (up 6.3% at CER). First nine months sales were €25,466 million, down 3.5% on a reported basis (up 2.1% at CER).

Third-quarter other revenues increased 3.5% (up 2.6% at CER) to €352 million, reflecting the VaxServe sales contribution of non-Sanofi products (€300 million, up 10.8 % at CER) and the royalties received from Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB. First nine months other revenues increased 3.0% (up 9.0% at CER) to €885 million of which €697 million were generated by VaxServe (up 16.2% at CER).

Third-quarter Gross Profit increased 2.8% to €6,727 million (up 4.8% at CER). The gross margin ratio was 71.6% (71.2% at CER) versus 72.3% in the third quarter of 2017. The positive mix impact of Specialty Care as well as the contribution from Bioverativ were more than offset by the negative impacts from U.S. Diabetes net price evolution and sevelamer generic competition, coupled with a slightly lower Vaccines gross margin ratio. In the third quarter of 2018, the gross margin ratio of segments was 73.6% for Pharmaceuticals (down 1.2 percentage points), 66.8% for CHC (down 0.2 percentage points) and 70.1% for Vaccines (down 0.4 percentage points). First nine months Gross Profit decreased 3.8% to €18,168 million (up 1.7% at CER). In the first nine months of 2018, the gross margin ratio decreased 0.3 percentage point to 71.3% (71.3% at CER) versus the same period of 2017. Sanofi expects its gross margin ratio to be between 70% and 71% at CER in 2018.

Research and Development (R&D) expenses increased 8.9% to €1,461 million in the third quarter of 2018. At CER, R&D expenses increased 9.5%, mainly reflecting the acquisitions of Bioverativ and Ablynx together with the investments in the immuno-oncology and diabetes programs. First nine months R&D expenses increased 5.2% to €4,216 million (up 9.1% at CER).

Third-quarter selling general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 0.8% to €2,301 million. At CER, SG&A expenses were up 1.6% mainly reflecting consolidation of Bioverativ and Ablynx. Additional marketing investments in immunology and in China were offset by lower Diabetes expenses in the U.S. In the third quarter, the ratio of SG&A to sales decreased 1.1 percentage points to 24.5% compared to the third quarter of 2017. First nine months SG&A expenses decreased 3.6% to €7,110 million (up 1.7% at CER). In the first nine months of 2018, the ratio of SG&A to sales was stable at 27.9% compared to the same period of 2017.

Third-quarter other current operating income net of expenses was -€74 million versus €16 million in the third quarter of 2017 and included the share of profit/loss to Regeneron of the monoclonal antibodies Alliance net of associated marketing expenses incurred by Regeneron. In the third quarter of 2017, this line included €68 million of income related to a capital gain and a litigation settlement. First nine months other current operating income net of expenses was €84 million versus €118 million in the same period of 2017.

The share of profits from associates was €153 million in the third quarter versus €35 million for the same period of 2017. The majority of this increase from the year ago quarter is due to discrete items in the equity accounting treatment of our ownership in Regeneron, including adjustments related to IFRS versus U.S. GAAP and prior period true-up based on actual reported results.

(12) See Appendix 3 for 2018 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.

In the first nine months, the share of profits from associates was €302 million versus €105 million for the same period of 2017.

In the third quarter, non-controlling interests were -€26 million versus -€30 million in the third quarter of 2017. First nine months non-controlling interests were -€84 million versus -€95 million for the same period of 2017.

Third-quarter business operating income increased 3.9% to €3,018 million. At CER, business operating income increased 6.4%. The ratio of business operating income to net sales was stable at 32.1% versus the third quarter of 2017. Over the period, the business operating income ratio of segments was 35.6% for Pharmaceuticals (down 1.1 percentage points), 33.2% for CHC (down 2.2 percentage points) and 55.3% for Vaccines (up 0.7 percentage points). First nine months business operating income was €7,144 million, down 6.5% (or up 0.1% at CER). In the first nine months of 2018 the ratio of business operating income to net sales decreased by 0.9 percentage points to 28.1%.

Net financial expenses were -€106 million in the third quarter versus -€77 million in the same period of 2017. In the third quarter of 2018, net financial expenses included the cost associated with the Bioverativ and Ablynx acquisitions. First nine months net financial expenses were -€211 million versus -€200 million in the same period of 2017.

The third-quarter and the first nine months effective tax rate were 22.0% compared to 24.5% for the same periods of 2017.

Third-quarter business net income(12) increased 7.6% to €2,299 million and 10.3% at CER. The ratio of business net income to net sales increased 0.9 percentage points to 24.5% versus the third quarter of 2017. First nine months 2018 business net income(13) decreased 2.9% to €5,455 million and increased 4.2% at CER. The ratio of business net income to net sales increased 0.1 percentage points to 21.4% versus the same period of 2017.

In the third quarter of 2018, business earnings per share(12) (EPS) increased by 8.2% to €1.84 on a reported basis and by 11.2% at CER. The average number of shares outstanding was 1,247.1 million versus 1,254.3 million in the third quarter of 2017.

In the first nine month of 2018, business earnings per share(12) was €4.37, down 2.0% on a reported basis and up 5.2% at CER. The average number of shares outstanding was 1,247.6 million in the first nine months of 2018 versus 1,258.3 million in the first nine months of 2017.

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

In the first nine months of 2018, the IFRS net income was €4,052 million. The main items excluded from the business net income were:

  • An amortization charge of €1,536 million related to fair value remeasurement on intangible assets of acquired companies (primarily Aventis: €200 million, Genzyme: €574 million, Boehringer Ingelheim CHC business: €181 million, Bioverativ: €294 million) and to acquired intangible assets (licenses/products: €99 million).

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 2018

€ million Q3 2018 9M 2018
Net sales 9,392 25,466
Effect of exchange rates (232) (1,459)
Company sales at constant exchange rates 9,624 26,925

Business net income

Sanofi publishes a key non-GAAP indicator.
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 related to business combinations or to disposals,
  • other impacts associated with acquisitions (including impacts of acquisitions on associates and joint ventures),
  • restructuring costs and similar items(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,
  • net income attributable to non-controlling interests related to the items listed above.
  1. Reported in the line items Restructuring costs and similar items and Gains and losses on disposals, and litigation, which are defined in Note B.20. to our consolidated financial statements.
