Sanofi Chief Executive Officer, Paul Hudson, commented:
“Our performance in the second quarter was again marked by higher sales across our key growth drivers and outstanding financial results leading us to upgrade our business EPS guidance for the full-year. Notably, we saw significant growth momentum from our Specialty Care business, mainly driven by Dupixent®. While we continue to increase our investment in R&D, we delivered important pipeline milestones such as the approval of Dupixent® in its fourth disease indication, Eosinophilic Esophagitis. Earlier this month, we had the opportunity to showcase at ISTH the transformative potential of efanesoctocog alfa, the first factor replacement therapy for hemophilia A to receive FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation. We are also making great progress in advancing our fully integrated social impact strategy, notably in Affordable Access with the launch of Impact®, a dedicated brand for non-profit distribution to enable the secure distribution of 30 Sanofi medicines in 40 lower-income countries. As we continue to deliver ahead of schedule on our Play to Win strategy, we are confident in our business outlook for the second half and as a result, we are reiterating our commitment to achieving the BOI margin target of 30% in 2022.”
