David Loew, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“2022 was a year of strong results and clear progress on our strategic roadmap. Improving execution supported another excellent sales performance from our growth platforms in Oncology and Neuroscience. I was particularly pleased with the progress of the pipeline, including the recent clinical-trial results for Onivyde, which could significantly benefit patients with pancreatic cancer. We have also been replenishing the pipeline at pace through the acquisition of Epizyme in Oncology and, more recently, the announcement of Albireo in Rare Disease.
Our external-innovation strategy, underpinned by a strong balance sheet and increasing cash generation, is expanding the number of potential medicines we have across our three therapy areas, and we have the ambition to enlarge the pipeline further. With the Company fully focused on Specialty Care, the outlook is promising, reflecting our commitment to bringing more medicines to patients and ensuring the sustainable growth of Ipsen.”
Delivering on strategy
Ipsen delivered successfully on the second year of the implementation of its strategy: Focus. Together. For patients and society.
The divestment of the Consumer HealthCare (CHC) business in 2022 was a major step forward towards building a more focused Ipsen, centering on Specialty Care. The growth platforms produced a double-digit performance, including Dysport, which grew by 29.4%%7 and Cabometyx, up by 23.9%7. There were also favorable developments from the existing pipeline, including positive results from the Phase III trial of the Onivyde-based regimen in pancreatic cancer, as well as the initiation of new trials, including a Phase II trial of elafibranor in rare liver disease.
It was also a particularly strong period of replenishment of the pipeline, founded on the strong execution of Ipsen’s external-innovation model. Through a combination of in-licensing and acquisitions, the Company has added 20 new assets to the pipeline in the last two years across the three strategic therapy areas of Oncology, Rare Disease and Neuroscience. In 2022, Ipsen strengthened its position in Oncology by acquiring Epizyme, a fully integrated, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing and delivering transformative therapies against novel epigenetic targets for cancer patients. More recently, Ipsen announced its intention to acquire Albireo8, a leading innovator in bile-acid modulators to treat pediatric and adult cholestatic liver diseases. This anticipated acquisition is designed to enrich Ipsen’s Rare Disease portfolio and pipeline.
Finally, the Company continued to drive benefits from its global efficiencies program, yielding savings across the entire cost base, which enabled significant further investment in Ipsen’s priorities for growth.
Full-year 2023 guidance
Ipsen has set the following financial guidance for FY 2023, assuming the completion of the planned acquisition of Albireo, expected to close in the first quarter of the year:
Total-sales growth greater than 4.0%, at constant currency. Based on the average level of exchange rates in January 2023, an anticipated adverse impact on total sales of around 2% from currencies
Core operating margin around 30% of total sales, excluding any potential impact of incremental investments from future external-innovation transactions
Ipsen intends to provide a mid-term outlook before the end of 2023, following the anticipated completion of the acquisition of Albireo8, as well as a number of pipeline milestones.
Business development update
In January 2023, Ipsen and Albireo announced that they had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Ipsen will acquire Albireo, a leading innovator in bile-acid modulators to treat pediatric and adult cholestatic liver diseases. The anticipated acquisition will enrich Ipsen’s Rare Disease portfolio and pipeline. The lead medicine in Albireo’s pipeline is Bylvay® (odevixibat), the first-approved treatment in progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis in the U.S. and E.U., with potential in other rare diseases. The transaction is anticipated to close in the first quarter of 2023.
Pipeline update
In November 2022, Ipsen announced that the NAPOLI 3 Phase III trial of Onivyde plus 5 fluorouracil/leucovorin and oxaliplatin (NALIRIFOX regimen), compared to nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine in previously untreated patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in overall survival. The full trial results were presented in January 2023 at the American Clinical Society of Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium in San Francisco, U.S.
In December 2022, Ipsen announced that the CONTACT-01 Phase III trial of Cabometyx, in combination with atezolizumab, compared to docetaxel in patients with unmutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who experienced disease progression on or after treatment with an immune checkpoint inhibitor and platinum-containing chemotherapy, did not meet its primary endpoint of an improvement in overall survival.
In December 2022, the U.S. FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) regarding the New Drug Application for palovarotene, an investigational treatment for the reduction of new abnormal bone formation (heterotopic ossification) in people living with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. The CRL was related to the regulatory agency’s previous request for additional information on palovarotene clinical-trial data communicated to Ipsen in October 2022, which was not a request for additional efficacy or safety data beyond existing studies. Ipsen anticipates responding to the request in the first quarter of 2023, with an expected six-month U.S. FDA review cycle. In January 2023, Ipsen received a negative opinion from the CHMP9 for palovarotene in the same indication. The Company will request a re-examination of the opinion, based on scientific data available from the existing palovarotene clinical-trial program.
Environment, Social and Governance: Generation Ipsen
Ipsen is committed to science-based reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions and its near-term climate targets were independently validated by the Science Based Target initiative in 2022. Ipsen now uses 100% green electricity for all operations in the U.K., the Republic of Ireland and France. This increased the Company’s use of electricity from renewable sources to 90%, in line with a commitment to 100% renewable-electricity use by 2025. Another action was a further decarbonizing of Ipsen’s processes that have traditionally used fossil fuels to produce heat and steam for the manufacturing process, while a new Fleet For Future program is focused on the transitioning of at least 30% of Ipsen’s vehicle fleet to battery-electric vehicles by 2025.
The Company is focused on patients’ access to medicines, including the provision in 2022 of humanitarian relief in response to the crisis in Ukraine via patient support, medicine donations and funding to the Red Cross and Tulipe charities. The partnership with Access Accelerated, a not-for-profit collective that works in communities that lack sufficient access to healthcare to address non-communicable diseases, also continued to thrive. Finally, Fondation Ipsen, under the aegis of the Fondation de France, again reached millions of people impacted by rare diseases, helping to improve lives across around 100 countries.

The Board of Directors approved the consolidated financial statements on 8 February 2023. The consolidated financial statements have been audited and the Statutory Auditors’ report is in the process of being published. Ipsen’s comprehensive audited financial statements will be available in due course on ipsen.com (regulated-information section).

Commentary is based on the performance in FY 2022, unless stated otherwise.
Somatuline: in North America, sales fell by 7.5%10, despite continued demand growth, with impacts from increased competition and adverse U.S. pricing, driven by an increased level of commercial rebates and unfavorable movements in channel mix, as well as lower wholesaler inventories. In the fourth quarter, Somatuline sales in North America declined by 17.6%10, augmented by the difference in year-on-year levels of inventories in the U.S. In Europe, sales declined by 11.6%10, reflecting the larger effects of the launches of generic lanreotide in more markets, including Germany, France, Spain and Italy. Sales in the Rest of the World grew by 36.7%10, a result of strong performances in several geographies, including the Middle East, Japan, Russia, and Brazil.
Dysport: The performance was driven by growth in the aesthetics market, including increased sales to Ipsen’s partner, Galderma, in North America, Brazil and Australia, and strong demand in most therapeutics markets. Stronger growth in the second half of the year reflected a recent manufacturing-capacity increase that benefitted supply to meet aesthetics-market demand.
Decapeptyl: the performance was mainly driven by continued market-share gains in Europe, primarily in France, the U.K. and Italy, along with higher volumes in the Rest of the World. In China, sales continued to grow, despite the impact of the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reduced growth in the fourth quarter reflected a particular impact from the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in China, as well as the phasing of various shipments.
Cabometyx: the performance reflected strong volume uptakes in renal cell carcinoma across most geographies, mainly as a second-line monotherapy and, more recently, as a first-line therapy in combination with nivolumab.
Onivyde: sales growth was primarily driven by a strong performance in the U.S., as well as increased sales to Ipsen’s ex-U.S. partner.
Tazverik: sales in the U.S. were consolidated for the four months from 1 September 2022.

Commentary is based on the performance in FY 2022.
North America: sales growth of 0.4%11 was driven by a continued strong performance from Dysport in the therapeutics market and, in the aesthetics market, through Galderma, and from Onivyde, offset by a Somatuline sales decline of 7.5%11.
Europe: sales growth of 2.4%11 mainly reflected strong Cabometyx performances in France, Spain, Poland and Germany, Decapeptyl’s continued market-share uptakes and Onivyde’s performance through Ipsen’s partner. Dysport sales grew by 9.8%11, a result of volume uptakes in the therapeutics market. Following the advance of generic lanreotide in a larger number of European markets, Somatuline sales declined by 11.6%11.
Rest of the World: sales growth of 36.7%11 was driven by a solid volume performance in both Oncology and Neuroscience. In Oncology, the increase in Decapeptyl sales reflected volume growth in China, with continued share gains in several markets. The strong performance of Cabometyx was also a result of market-share gains across a number of geographies, including Brazil, Taiwan and the Middle East. The performance also reflected strong Somatuline sales, including in the Middle East, Japan and Brazil. In Neuroscience, the strong growth of Dysport sales was a result of volume uptakes in aesthetics markets, primarily in Latin America, Australia and the Middle East, as well as solid performances in therapeutics markets.
Comparison of core consolidated income statement
In accordance with IFRS 5, FY 2022 consolidated net profit and free cash flow resulting from the CHC business have been reclassified in separate line items: ‘Net profit/(loss) from discontinued operations’ in the profit and loss account and ‘Change in net cash/(debt) from discontinued operations’ in the cash-flow statement. The comparative figures for the prior year have been restated accordingly.
FY 2022 opening net cash €28.0m, versus FY 2021 closing net debt of €126.4m, reflected the reclassification of the contingent liabilities (earnouts and CVRs13), previously part of the definition of net debt. In the profit and loss account, the change in earnouts related to the probability of success and currency effects, previously impacting the financial results, was recognized in non-core operating income and expenses. The effect of unwinding is still presented in the financial results. FY 2021 was restated for these impacts.
Epizyme was fully consolidated from 1 September 2022.
Core financial measures are performance indicators. A reconciliation between these indicators and IFRS aggregates is presented in Appendix 4, ‘Bridges from IFRS consolidated net profit to core consolidated net profit’.

Reconciliation from core consolidated net profit to IFRS consolidated net profit
Total sales
Total sales grew in 2022 by 8.5% at CER15, or 14.4% as reported, which included a positive impact from currencies of 5.9%.
Other revenue
Other revenue totaled €131.5m, an increase of 24.7%, reflecting the growth in royalties received from partners, primarily Galderma for Dysport.
Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold of €527.7m represented 17.4% of total sales, an increase as a percentage of total sales of 0.8 percentage points (FY 2021: €438.6m, or 16.6%), mainly due to an unfavorable mix impact and an increase in royalties paid to Ipsen’s Cabometyx partner.
Selling expenses
Selling expenses increased by 14.5% to €833.4m, driven by the integration of Epizyme, commercial efforts deployed to support sales growth and the impact of foreign exchange, partly offset by the Company’s efficiency program. Selling expenses represented 27.6% of total sales, in line with the prior year (FY 2021: 27.5%).
Research and development expenses
Research and development expenses totaled €445.3m, representing growth of 4.9%, with reduced lifecycle-management investment in Oncology for Onivyde and Cabometyx offset by the impact of the acquisition of Epizyme and increased investment in Neuroscience, notably for next-generation neurotoxins, and in Rare Disease for elafibranor. Research and development expenses represented 14.7% of total sales, a decline of 1.3 percentage points versus the prior year (FY 2021: 16.1%).
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by 9.3% to €205.8m. The ratio to total sales declined to 6.8% (FY 2021: 7.1%).
Other core operating income and expenses
Other core operating income and expenses amounted to an expense of €28.8m (FY 2021: an income of €13.8m), reflecting the impact of Ipsen’s currency-hedging policy.
Core operating income
Core operating income amounted to €1,115.4m, growing by 13.5%, with a core operating margin at 36.9% of total sales, a decline of 0.3 percentage points, reflecting the dilutive impact from the acquisition of Epizyme.
Core net financing costs and other financial income and expense
Ipsen incurred net financial expenses of €31.9m (FY 2021: €36.3m). Net financing costs declined by €3.3m to €18.5m, driven by higher interest rates on investment income. Other financial income and expense declined by €1.1m to €13.4m, mainly reflecting reduced foreign-exchange impacts on non-commercial transactions.
Core income taxes
Core income tax expense of €210.8m reflected a higher profit before tax, combined with a lower core effective tax rate of 19.5% (FY 2021: 21.9%), mainly impacted by the reclassification of Orphan Drug tax credits from research and development expenses to income taxes.
Core consolidated net profit
Core consolidated net profit increased by 17.9% to €872.4m (FY 2021: €740.1m).
Core EPS
Fully-diluted core EPS came to €10.51, representing growth of 18.4% (FY 2021: €8.88).

Other operating income and expenses
Other non-core operating expenses of €140.6m before tax mainly related to the acquisition of Epizyme and transaction costs, Ipsen’s transformation programs, the divestment of the CHC business, the discontinuation of clinical trials and the change in Onivyde earnouts following clinical-trial results for new indications. Other non-core operating expenses in FY 2021 totaled €50.3m before tax, mainly related to costs arising from Ipsen’s transformation programs.
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs came to €26.9m before tax, mainly related to Epizyme-integration costs. Restructuring costs in 2021 amounted to €19.6m before tax, reflecting transformation projects in France and the U.S.
Impairment losses
Ipsen recognized an impairment losses on intangible assets of €114.3m before tax, including €55.1m for palovarotene, following the issuance of a Complete Response Letter by the U.S. FDA and the negative opinion from the European Medicines Agency's committee responsible for human medicines, and €59.3m on Neuroscience and Oncology intangible assets, following unfavorable clinical-trial results. In FY 2021, the Company recognized an impairment loss on intangible assets of €9.1m before tax, following an unfavorable clinical-trial result.
Others
Financial income and expenses and income taxes amounted to an income of €11.3m (FY 2021: €8.1m). Net profit from discontinued operations of €55.4m corresponded to the gain on the CHC divestiture and the contribution of the CHC business in the first half of 2022.
IFRS financial measures
Operating income
Operating profit amounted to €729.9m, declining by 11.5% (FY 2021: €824.7m), mainly due the recognition of impairment losses in FY 2022.
Consolidated net profit
Consolidated net profit was €647.5m, in line with last year (2021: €646.7m).
EPS
Fully-diluted EPS amounted to €7.81 per share, in line with the prior year (FY 2021: €7.76 per share).
Net cash flow and financing
FY 2022 opening net cash amounted to €28.0m versus FY 2021 closing net debt of €126.4m, reflecting the reclassification of contingent liabilities (earnouts and CVRs), previously part of the definition of net debt.

Operating cash flow
Operating cash flow totaled €1,079.6m, an increase of €77.3m (+7.7%), driven by higher core operating income (an increase of €132.3m) and a better other working-capital-requirement change (€102.7m, reflecting the reimbursement in FY 2022 of tax refunds, combined with a variable-compensation increase), partly offset by higher operating working-capital requirements (€88.3m mainly from higher trade receivables), higher capital expenditures (€30.9m, including projects to increase capacity and efficiency at industrial sites, as well as IT and digital projects), and lower other non-cash items, impacted by transformation projects, mostly in the U.S., and the termination of R&D trials.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow grew by €36.5m to €817.2m (FY 2021: €780.7m), reflecting higher operating cash flow, partly offset by an increase in income tax and other non-core expenses and restructuring costs.
Shareholders’ return and external growth operations
The distribution payout to Ipsen S.A. shareholders amounted to €100.2m in FY 2022, corresponding to a 2021 dividend per share of €1.20, paid in 2022 (FY 2021: €83.1m, for a 2020 dividend of €1.00 per share, paid in 2021).
Net investments of €564.5m were mainly related to the acquisition of Epizyme for €400.3m and the in-licensing agreement with Marengo Therapeutics for €44.9m, as well as additional Cabometyx commercial and regulatory milestones paid to Exelixis for €122.8m and a development milestone for fidrisertib paid to Blueprint Medicines for €28.5m. Net investments in FY 2021 amounted to €240.4m, mainly driven by investments in external innovation, including the upfront payment related to the licensing agreement for elafibranor and the purchase of shares for a total of €148.0m, and Cabometyx commercial milestones of €50.7m paid to Exelixis. Foreign exchange on net indebtedness adversely impacted net debt, mainly due to a higher U.S. dollar versus Euro.

Analysis of cash
On 16 June 2016, Ipsen S.A. issued €300m in unsecured, seven-year public bonds.
On 24 May 2019, Ipsen S.A. signed an initial five-year Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) of €1,500m, which has been extended twice to May 2026.
On 23 July 2019, Ipsen S.A. issued $300m through a U.S. Private Placement (USPP) in two tranches of 7 and 10‑year maturities.
Ipsen must comply with a net debt / EBITDA covenant to remain below 3.5 times at each financial closing in both the RCF and the USPP. Ipsen complied with its covenant ratio for the RCF and the USPP. The RCF also includes specific indicators linked to Corporate Social Responsibility, assessed annually.
On 31 December 2022, the RCF was fully undrawn and Ipsen S.A.’s program of emission of NEU CP – Negotiable EUropean Commercial Paper of €600m, was drawn for €65m.

Forward-looking statements
The forward-looking statements, objectives and targets contained herein are based on Ipsen’s management strategy, current views and assumptions. Such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those anticipated herein. All of the above risks could affect Ipsen’s future ability to achieve its financial targets, which were set assuming reasonable macroeconomic conditions based on the information available today. Use of the words ‘believes’, ‘anticipates’ and ‘expects’ and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, including Ipsen’s expectations regarding future events, including regulatory filings and determinations. Moreover, the targets described in this document were prepared without taking into account external-growth assumptions and potential future acquisitions, which may alter these parameters. These objectives are based on data and assumptions regarded as reasonable by Ipsen. These targets depend on conditions or facts likely to happen in the future, and not exclusively on historical data. Actual results may depart significantly from these targets given the occurrence of certain risks and uncertainties, notably the fact that a promising medicine in early development phase or clinical trial may end up never being launched on the market or reaching its commercial targets, notably for regulatory or competition reasons. Ipsen must face or might face competition from generic medicine that might translate into a loss of market share. Furthermore, the research and development process involves several stages each of which involves the substantial risk that Ipsen may fail to achieve its objectives and be forced to abandon its efforts with regards to a medicine in which it has invested significant sums. Therefore, Ipsen cannot be certain that favorable results obtained during preclinical trials will be confirmed subsequently during clinical trials, or that the results of clinical trials will be sufficient to demonstrate the safe and effective nature of the medicine concerned. There can be no guarantees a medicine will receive the necessary regulatory approvals or that the medicine will prove to be commercially successful. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Other risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to, general industry conditions and competition; general economic factors, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of pharmaceutical industry regulation and healthcare legislation; global trends toward healthcare cost containment; technological advances, new medicine and patents attained by competitors; challenges inherent in new-medicine development, including obtaining regulatory approval; Ipsen's ability to accurately predict future market conditions; manufacturing difficulties or delays; financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk; dependence on the effectiveness of Ipsen’s patents and other protections for innovative medicines; and the exposure to litigation, including patent litigation, and/or regulatory actions. Ipsen also depends on third parties to develop and market some of its medicines which could potentially generate substantial royalties; these partners could behave in such ways which could cause damage to Ipsen’s activities and financial results. Ipsen cannot be certain that its partners will fulfil their obligations. It might be unable to obtain any benefit from those agreements. A default by any of Ipsen’s partners could generate lower revenues than expected. Such situations could have a negative impact on Ipsen’s business, financial position or performance. Ipsen expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements, targets or estimates contained in this press release to reflect any change in events, conditions, assumptions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, unless so required by applicable law. Ipsen’s business is subject to the risk factors outlined in its registration documents filed with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers. The risks and uncertainties set out are not exhaustive and the reader is advised to refer to Ipsen’s latest Universal Registration Document, available on ipsen.com.
