Sanofi develops and markets drugs with a concentration in oncology, immunology, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, over-the-counter treatments and vaccines. However, the company's decision in late 2019 to pull back from the cardio-metabolic area will likely reduce the firm's footprint in this large therapeutic area. The company offers a diverse array of drugs with its highest revenue generator, Dupixent, representing just over 20% of total sales, but profits are shared with Regeneron. Just over 40% of total revenue comes from the United States and 25% from Europe. Emerging markets represent the majority of the remainder of revenue.

Sanofi Says Beyfortus Will Be Broadly Available For Babies Born In Ontario, Quebec, Nunavut, Northwest Territories, And The Yukon This Fall

On Friday, Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) revealed new results from the Phase 3b ADapt study of Ebglyss (lebrikizumab), which will be presented at the Fall <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41540619/lillys-ebglyss-lebrikizumab-lbkz-demonstrated-meaningful-improvement-in-skin-clearance-and-itch-re" rel="noreferrer noopener">Clinical Dermatology Conference</a>.
The results show that Ebglyss improved skin (including hand and face) and itch among patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) who were previously treated with Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) / Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/REGN#NASDAQ">REGN</a>) Dupixent (dupilumab).
The study&#8217;s primary endpoint was measured by at least a 75% improvement in the Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) score at 16 weeks, which evaluates the extent and severity of the skin disease.
Secondary endpoints at 16 and 24 weeks included Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) skin with a reduction of at least two points from baseline and at least a four-point improvement in Pruritus NRS from baseline.
With Ebglyss, 57% of patients in Week 16 and 60% in Week 24 who had previously been treated with dupilumab achieved EASI-75.
In addition, 46% of patients who were inadequate responders to dupilumab achieved EASI-75 response with Ebglyss at Week 16.
53% and 62% of ADapt patients who discontinued dupilumab and began treatment with Ebglyss also experienced itch relief (Pruritus NRS) with at least a four-point improvement from baseline at Week 16 and Week 24, respectively.
Patients in this study saw improvements in difficult-to-treat areas when treated with Ebglyss.
52% treated with Ebglyss saw clear or almost clear face dermatitis at Week 24.
Among patients with moderate-to-severe hand dermatitis at baseline, the modified total lesion-symptom score, which measures the extent and severity of hand dermatitis, decreased by 75 percent at Week 24.
Less than 6% of patients treated with Ebglyss experienced an adverse event that led to treatment discontinuation.
Last month, the FDA approved Ebglyss, a targeted IL-13 inhibitor, for adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that is not well controlled despite treatment with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40884197/eli-lilly-scores-fda-approval-for-eczema-treatment-ebglyss" rel="noreferrer noopener">topical prescription therapies</a>.
Ebglyss was also approved in the European Union in 2023 and Japan in January 2024, with additional markets expected later this year.

Sales increased 12.3% year over year and 15.7% on constant currency, led by solid growth from Dupixent, Pharma launches, vaccines, and Opella.
The French drugmaker reported adjusted EPS of 2.86 euros or $1.57, up 12.2% (+17.6% on constant currency).

New pharma launches increased 67.1% to 727 million euros, led by Altuviiio (hemophilia&nbsp;drug), Nexviazyme (Pompe disease), and Rezurock (chronic graft-versus-host disease).
Vaccine sales were up 25.5% to 3.8 billion euros, boosted by the phasing of flu sales and by Beyfortus due to approved extra capacity.
Beyfortus (RSV) sales were 645 million euros, driven by early deliveries in the U.S. and rollout in several countries. In collaboration with AstraZeneca Plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>), which is responsible for manufacturing, additional capacity enabled increased supply after a second external filling line was licensed.
Opella, Sanofi&#8217;s consumer healthcare business unit, generated sales of 1.3 billion euros, up 8%.
Guidance: Earlier this week, Sanofi updated its 2024 business EPS guidance to at least a low single-digit percentage at CER supported by the underlying strong business performance, reflecting the new scope of guidance <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41427490/sanofi-engages-in-exclusive-talks-with-us-private-equity-cd-r-for-its-consumer-health-business" rel="noreferrer noopener">excluding the Opella</a>.

The company reaffirms that Dupixent will&nbsp;deliver around 13 billion euros in 2024 sales.
Sanofi expects a low single-digit decline in flu shot sales due to the soft vaccination rate. 2024 vaccine sales are <a href="https://www.sanofi.com/assets/dotcom/content-app/events/quaterly-results/2024/2024-q3-2024-results/q3-2024-presentation-en.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">expected</a> to grow high single-digit compared to the earlier mid-single-digit range.
Sanofi forecasts Beyfortus sales for the fourth quarter to be similar to the third quarter.

Revenue Growth: Sanofi displayed positive results in 3 months. As of 30 June, 2024, the company achieved a solid revenue growth rate of approximately 6.53%. This indicates a notable increase in the company's top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company encountered difficulties, with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Health Care sector.
Net Margin: Sanofi's net margin excels beyond industry benchmarks, reaching 9.78%. This signifies efficient cost management and strong financial health.

Return on Assets (ROA): Sanofi's ROA lags behind industry averages, suggesting challenges in maximizing returns from its assets. With an ROA of 0.86%, the company may face hurdles in achieving optimal financial performance.

Sanofi's Earnings Outlook

Regeneron And Sanofi To Present Phase 3 LIBERTY-CUPID Study C Study Data Evaluating Dupixent; Says Dupixent Reduced Itch And Hive Activity From Baseline, 41% Of Patients Achieved Well-Controlled Disease Status

Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>) and private equity Clayton Dubilier &amp; Rice (CD&amp;R) have finally entered into exclusive negotiations to potentially sell and purchase a 50% controlling stake in Opella, Sanofi&#8217;s consumer health unit.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The new step in Opella&#8217;s journey paves the way for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.sanofi.com/en/media-room/press-releases/2024/2024-10-21-05-30-00-2965875" rel="noreferrer noopener">creating</a> a standalone player in consumer healthcare while supporting Sanofi&#8217;s strategy and increased focus on innovative medicines and vaccines.
Sanofi would remain a significant shareholder in Opella.

Bpifrance is expected to be a minority shareholder with a c.2% stake.
Headquartered in France, Opella employs over 11,000 people and operates in 100 countries. It has 13 manufacturing sites and four science and innovation development centers.
With a portfolio of brands, such as Allegra, Doliprane, and Dulcolax, Opella is the third-largest business worldwide in the over-the-counter and vitamins, minerals &amp; supplements market (OTC &amp; VMS), serving over half a billion consumers worldwide.
Opella operates in a fast-growing industry driven by sustainable long-term trends, such as an aging population, rising income levels, and greater health and well-being awareness.
Opella&#8217;s valuation is based on an enterprise value of c.€16 billion ($17.36 billion), corresponding to approximately 14 times the 2024 estimated EBITDA. CD&amp;R&#8217;s offer is binding and fully financed.
The proposed transaction is anticipated to close in the second quarter of 2025.
Under the new scope, excluding Opella, preliminary business EPS in 2023 was 7.25 euros. Sanofi expects its 2024 business EPS to grow by at least a low-single-digit percentage at CER.
For 2025, Sanofi continues to anticipate a strong rebound in business EPS at CER under the previous and the new scope.
Another French private equity, PAI Partners, reportedly raised its bid for Sanofi&#8217;s consumer health division by around 200 million euros ($217.12 million).
While CD&amp;R has emerged as the frontrunner, PAI and its partners, including Singapore&#8217;s GIC and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, argued that their French roots could better align with the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41341084/sanofi-might-face-political-hurdles-in-16b-consumer-pharma-unit-sale-to-us-private-equity-cd-r" rel="noreferrer noopener">country&#8217;s interests</a>.
However, PAI&#8217;s lower financial capacity compared to CD&amp;R, which raised a record 26 billion euros last year, was a disadvantage in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41407755/frances-pai-partners-ups-bid-for-sanofis-consumer-health-division-as-french-government-hints-poss" rel="noreferrer noopener">the bidding process</a>.

Under the new scope excluding Opella, preliminary business EPS in 2023 was &euro;7.25. Sanofi expects its 2024 business EPS to grow by at least a low-single digit percentage at CER.
For 2025, Sanofi continues to anticipate a strong rebound in business EPS at CER under both the previous and the new scope.

'Sanofi Set to Sign Consumer Health Deal With CD&R This Weekend' - Bloomberg

On Friday,&nbsp;Novartis AG (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) announced that the European Medicines Agency&#8217;s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/22/12/29990021/novartis-kisqali-prolongs-progression-free-survival-benefit-in-metastatic-breast-cancer-versus-ch" rel="noreferrer noopener">for Kisqali (ribociclib)</a>.
The CHMP recommended approval granting marketing authorization for Kisqali (ribociclib) for the adjuvant treatment of adults with hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) early breast cancer (EBC), at high risk of disease recurrence, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/41399115" rel="noreferrer noopener">including those with node-negative disease.</a>

The CHMP decision is based on data from the Phase 3 NATALEE trial.
In the trial, Kisqali plus endocrine therapy (ET), compared to ET alone, lowered the risk of cancer recurrence by 25.1% in patients with stage II and III HR+/HER2- EBC.
The data also demonstrated a consistent, clinically meaningful invasive disease-free survival (iDFS) benefit across key pre-specified subgroups.
Data from the pivotal trial also showed that the safety profile of Kisqali at the 400mg dose was well-tolerated, with generally low-grade symptomatic adverse events.
The European Commission (EC) will decide in approximately two months.
Last month, Novartis released new data from the ALITHIOS open-label extension study.
Data show first-line Kesimpta&nbsp;(ofatumumab) treatment for up to six years led to less disability and disease progression in recently diagnosed (≤3 years) and treatment-naïve (RDTN) people with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS), compared to those who switched from&nbsp;Sanofi SA&#8216;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40923550/novartis-multiple-sclerosis-drug-data-shows-most-patients-remain-with-no-disability-progression-f" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aubagio (teriflunomide)</a>.

European Medicines Agency's Panel Supports Approval Of Novartis' Kisqali In Patients With Early-Breast Cancer

Last week, Sanofi SA (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>)&nbsp;said it is negotiating with&nbsp;Clayton Dubilier &amp; Rice (CD&amp;R) to potentially sell a 50% controlling stake in Opella, its&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41290528/worlds-third-largest-otc-player-sanofis-consumer-health-unit-nears-16b-deal-with-clayton-dubilier" rel="noreferrer noopener">consumer healthcare business</a>.
In October 2023,&nbsp;Sanofi announced its plans to spin off its consumer healthcare business as the French pharmaceutical company outlined its strategic update to increase investment in its drug-development&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/10/35458838/sanofi-goes-the-rival-way-plans-separation-of-consumer-healthcare-unit" rel="noreferrer noopener">pipeline and cut costs</a>.
France&#8217;s government has hinted at the possibility of blocking the sale of Sanofi&#8217;s consumer pharmaceuticals division to CD&amp;R, citing concerns over employment and national healthcare interests.
The French government&#8217;s requirements, expressed earlier in the sale process, have taken on a heightened political tone since Sanofi announced CD&amp;R&#8217;s bid over a consortium led by French private equity group PAI Partners.
CD&amp;R and&nbsp;PAI Partners made separate bids for Sanofi&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/41021471/private-equity-firms-circle-sanofis-consumer-health-business-amid-potential-spinoff" rel="noreferrer noopener">consumer health division</a>.
On Thursday, PAI Partners raised its bid for Sanofi&#8217;s consumer health division by around 200 million euros ($217.12 million). Reuters report said that though the revised offer&#8217;s price remains undisclosed, the offer is reportedly valid until Sunday night.

Sanofi told Reuters that all candidates had the same opportunity to submit their best bids before the deadline, and it was unexpected that PAI would present an improved offer outside the agreed timeframe.
While CD&amp;R has emerged as the frontrunner, PAI and its partners, including Singapore&#8217;s GIC and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, have argued that their French roots could better align with the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41341084/sanofi-might-face-political-hurdles-in-16b-consumer-pharma-unit-sale-to-us-private-equity-cd-r" rel="noreferrer noopener">country&#8217;s interests</a>.
However, PAI&#8217;s lower financial capacity compared to CD&amp;R, which raised a record 26 billion euros last year, has put it at a disadvantage in the bidding process.
Price Action: SNY stock was down 0.17% at $54.77 at the last check Friday.
