Full-year 2024 guidance suspended due to the temporary pause of API production at the Brindisi site in Italy
Press Release
Paris – March 14th, 2024 – EUROAPI today announces that its Italian subsidiary, EUROAPI Italy S.R.L., is suspending the production of all APIs1 in Brindisi. Following an internal audit, quality control deficiencies due to potential local misconduct have been identified and are being further investigated. Production will remain suspended until further notice. The relevant health authorities have been informed. The company has initiated a forensic audit and will inform its customers.
The Brindisi site produces 11 APIs and intermediates, mostly anti-infectives (including spiramycin, rifaximin, rifampicin and teicoplanin). In 2023, sales related to the Brindisi site amounted to 63 million euros, of which 43% related to Sanofi. The value of Brindisi non-current assets has been fully impaired in 2023 Consolidated Accounts. This situation is expected to impact the Group's operational and financial performance. Consequently, the full-year 2024 guidance is suspended. A revised full-year 2024 outlook will be provided in Q2 2024, along with the planned communication on the implementation and the financing of the FOCUS-27 project announced on February 28th, 2024.
