Q3 2024 Trading Update (Unaudited)

NOT FOR UK USE – NOT INTENDED FOR UK MEDIA

In the first nine months of 2024, LEO Pharma delivered revenue growth of 11% in constant exchange rates (CER). The dermatology portfolio saw revenue growth of 13%. Significant strategic progress was highlighted by several key events around the globe: the European Commission’s approval of Anzupgo® (delgocitinib) cream for adults with moderate to severe chronic hand eczema (CHE), the filing of a New Drug Application (NDA) for delgocitinib cream with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the U.S., and the filing of an NDA for Enstilar® for adults with plaque psoriasis in China. Full-year outlook remains unchanged.

"We are very satisfied with the sales growth in the first nine months of 2024, reflecting that more people than ever are benefiting from our treatments. At the same time, we have taken significant steps toward commercializing Anzupgo® (delgocitinib), securing European approval and launching it in its first European markets. Notably, we have filed for its approval in the U.S., marking a major milestone. Along with the recent filing of Enstilar in China, we are cementing our worldwide presence and transforming LEO Pharma into a truly global company,” says CEO Christophe Bourdon.
