Guidance upgraded
•In 2026, sales are now expected to grow by around 10% at CER. Business EPS at CER is expected to grow slightly faster than sales.3
Belén Garijo, Chief Executive Officer: “We delivered double-digit sales growth and strong business EPS growth in Q2. Sales increased by 17.8%, driven by Pharma launches, including recent acquisitions, and by Dupixent, up by 37.6%. Business EPS increased by 33.3%, supported by disciplined cost management and one-offs. Pipeline milestones included seven regulatory approvals, two positive phase 3 studies, and four additional regulatory designations. Based on our strong performance in the first half and anticipating normalisation of growth in the second half, we are upgrading our 2026 guidance. Sales are now expected to grow by around 10% with business EPS growing slightly faster than sales at constant exchange rates — delivering profitable, sustainable growth.
My first months as CEO have focused on assessing the challenges facing Sanofi and working on an accelerated transformation roadmap that leverages our commercial strengths and focuses on the need for R&D and pipeline improvements. We have taken the first decisive steps on pipeline prioritisation and recently, we appointed a focused Executive Committee aligned with the strategic priorities. Looking ahead, we're confident in our trajectory of profitable growth: Dupixent sales are now expected to reach around €25 billion in 2030, complemented by approximately €10 billion from Pharma launches — both at constant exchange rates. This strong financial foundation is expected to support continued pipeline enhancement and external growth opportunities in the years ahead. We are committed to acting and reporting on our progress to shareholders and other stakeholders in the quarters to come.”

| of which China | 676 | | -4.9 | % | 1,325 | | -3.5 | % |
US sales were €6,344 million and increased by 33.5%. The growth was driven by pharma launches and Dupixent with newly acquired Heplisav-B in vaccines contributing to absolute growth, partly offset by Lantus and influenza vaccines.
Europe sales were €2,141 million and increased by 1.3%. The growth was driven by pharma launches and Dupixent, almost offset by lower sales of many legacy medicines as well as most vaccine areas.
Rest of World sales were €3,112 million and increased by 3.7%. The growth was driven by Dupixent and launches, including Beyfortus. Growth in rare diseases and diabetes more than offset declines in many legacy medicines. Most vaccine areas declined, with the biggest negative impact from polio/pertussis/hib vaccines (see below). China sales were €676 million and decreased by 4.9% in a slightly growing market. Sales were impacted by the vaccines business, in particular polio/pertussis/hib primary vaccines due to the decline in childbirths. The pharma business increased sales by a low single-digit percentage, driven by launches (Sarclisa, Rezurock, and Myqorzo) and by Dupixent that has returned to growth in 2026 after a price adjustment in 2025, partly offset by lower sales of legacy medicines.
Business operating income
In Q2 2026, business operating income (BOI) was €3,291 million and increased by 35.8% (33.7% at actual exchange rates) from €2,461 million in Q2 2025. The ratio of BOI to net sales was 28.4% and increased by 3.8pp (28.4% at actual exchange rates, up by 3.8pp). The increase was mainly driven by growth in business gross profit and operating leverage partly offset by the increase in other operating expenses from higher Regeneron profit sharing. In H1 2026, BOI was €6,258 million and increased by 22.3% (16.7% at actual exchange rates) from 5,363 million in H1 2025. The ratio of BOI to net sales was 28.5% and increased by 1.5pp (28.3% at actual exchange rates, up by 1.3pp).

Dupixent (atopic dermatitis (AD), asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), eosinophilic esophagitis, prurigo nodularis, chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bullous pemphigoid, and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS)) sales were €5,154 million and increased by 37.6%. Global sales continued to be driven by strong volume growth across approved indications and Dupixent retained a leading market position across its disease areas. US sales were €3,899 million and increased by 42.8%, driven primarily by strong demand as well as operational improvements and a favourable adjustment of gross-to-net deductions. In Europe, sales were €583 million and increased by 19.4%, reflecting growth across approved indications and continued growth in the larger markets, including Germany. In Rest of World, sales were €672 million and increased by 26.9%, mainly driven by Brazil and Canada.
Kevzara (rheumatoid arthritis, other rheumatological indications) sales were €177 million and increased by 35.1%, mainly driven by increased use in rheumatoid arthritis and polymyalgia rheumatica. US remained the biggest market (€122 million, +50.6%).

ALTUVIIIO (haemophilia A) sales were €349 million of which 87% was in the US. Growth continued to be driven by patients switching from shorter half-life and legacy factor medicines, and some patients from non-factor medicines. Rest of World sales were €44 million and decreased by 11.3% from lower supplies to the collaborator Sobi. The haemophilia A factor medicine franchise sales (ALTUVIIIO and Eloctate combined) were €433 million and increased by 25.6%, driven by ALTUVIIIO’s continued launch performance, while Eloctate contributed €84 million and increased by 33.8%, driven by supplies to the collaborator Sobi.
Fabrazyme (Fabry disease) sales were €258 million and increased by 0.4%, driven by the US (+5.5%) from increased patient use and price, partly offset by Rest of World (€56 million, -9.1%) due to phasing in China.
Nexviazyme/Nexviadyme (Pompe disease) sales were €218 million and increased by 15.6%, driven by the US (+19.8%). Europe (+10.3%) and Rest of World (+14.3%) saw lower growth. Across all geographies, patients are switching from Myozyme/Lumizyme. The Pompe disease franchise sales (Nexviazyme/Nexviadyme and Myozyme/Lumizyme combined) were €326 million (-0.6%).
Ayvakit (systemic mastocytosis) sales were €190 million. Sales were split between the US (€168 million) and Europe (€22 million) with continued growth in the number of patients treated and their duration of treatment. Higher government rebates because of the originator Blueprint becoming part of Sanofi will continue to have a negative impact on US sales in 2026. On a market pro-forma basis, sales reached $221.3 million, an increase of 26.4% from $175.1 million in Q2 2025. Without the higher US rebates, sales growth would have been c.9pp higher. Royalty on sales by CStone Pharmaceuticals in China is recorded in Other revenues.

Cerezyme (Gaucher disease) sales were €166 million and decreased by 4.6%, with growth in the US (+4.5%) and Europe (+1.7%) offset by lower sales in Rest of World (-15.9%), mainly from phasing in China. The Gaucher disease franchise sales (Cerezyme and Cerdelga combined) were €260 million and increased by 3.2%.
Alprolix (haemophilia B) sales were €163 million and increased by 15.9%, driven by Rest of World (€50 million, +57.6% or +€19 million) due to large supplies to the collaborator Sobi (none in Q1). Growth in the US (+3.6%) reflected market dynamics with fairly stable market share.
Myozyme/Lumizyme (Pompe disease) sales were €108 million and decreased by 22.9% driven by patients switching to Nexviazyme/Nexviadyme.
Cablivi (acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) sales were €85 million and increased by 23.2%, driven by the US (+40.0%), mainly from increased patient use. Sales in Europe were €32 million (+6.7%) and in Rest of World €5 million (unchanged).
Xenpozyme (acid sphingomyelinase deficiency) sales were €64 million and increased by 18.5%, driven by Rest of World (+70.0%).

Lantus sales were €394 million and decreased by 7.0%. US sales were €161 million and decreased by 17.1% from prior year gross-to-net adjustments. The past benefit of windfall sales from the unavailability of competing medicines partly subsided, as expected. Combined sales in Europe and Rest of World increased by 1.8% offsetting softer Toujeo sales in Q2.
Toujeo sales were €354 million and increased by 4.4%, driven mainly by the US (+8.3%) and Rest of World (+8.6%) while sales in Europe declined (-2.4%). Toujeo continued to experience solid volume growth and an increase in market shares worldwide.
Plavix sales were €216 million and decreased by 5.7%, driven by lower Rest of World sales (majority of sales, €195 million, -5.4%).
Sarclisa sales were €187 million and increased by 35.7%, driven by high growth in Rest of World (+52.5%). Sales in Europe were €56 million (+31.0%) and in the US €73 million (+27.6%), supporting increased use in earlier lines of treatment, specifically in front-line transplant-ineligible patients in combination with standard-of-care cytotoxic combinations.
Lovenox sales were €180 million and decreased by 15.8%, from lower sales in Europe (€95 million, -17.7%) and Rest of World (€82 million, -10.0%), driven by the sustained impact of biosimilars.
Praluent sales were €164 million and increased by 19.0% from higher sales in Europe (€134 million, +23.4%).
Rezurock sales were €163 million and increased by 25.0% from strong growth in Europe (€29 million, +114.3%), partly due to a one-time price adjustment. Sales in Rest of World (€22 million, +81.8%) benefited from the launch in China. Sales in the US were €112 million and increased by 7.5%.
Thymoglobulin sales were €137 million and increased by 10.3%, mainly driven by Rest of World (+17.1%).
Aprovel sales were €114 million and increased by 9.8%, with sales coming mainly from Rest of World (€97 million, +14.5%).

| Total | 1,150 | | -4.7 | % | 2,443 | | -1.1 | % |
Vaccines sales were €1,150 million and decreased by 4.7%, mainly driven by lower sales of influenza and meningitis, travel, and endemic vaccines.
Polio/pertussis/hib (PPH) primary and booster vaccines, including Heplisav-B sales were €700 million and increased by 1.4%. Sales in the US (€258 million, +77.2%) benefited from the inclusion of newly acquired Heplisav-B while sales in Rest of World (€334 million, -21.2%) were impacted by a decline in childbirths, primarily in China.
Meningitis, travel, and endemic vaccines sales were €287 million and decreased by 5.9%, mainly driven by lower sales in meningitis in Rest of World (€89 million, -19.3%), partly offset by performance in travel and endemic in Europe (€58 million, +16.0%).
Beyfortus sales were €108 million and increased by 54.2%, driven by Rest of World (+37.1%) benefiting from the expanded geographical availability and use in the Southern Hemisphere. Beyfortus now protects babies in more than 45 countries worldwide.
Influenza, COVID-19 vaccines sales were €54 million and decreased by 61.7%, mainly due to 2025 one-offs from late-season use in the US and Europe and lower sales in the Southern Hemisphere, with Rest of World sales of €41 million (-39.7%).
Business operating income
In Q2 2026, Biopharma BOI was €3,275 million and increased by 35.6% (33.5% at actual exchange rates) from €2,454 million in Q2 2025. The ratio of BOI to net sales was 28.3% and increased by 3.7pp (28.2% at actual exchange rates, up by 3.6pp). The increase was mainly driven by growth in business gross profit and operating leverage partly offset by the increase in other operating expenses from higher Regeneron profit sharing. In H1 2026, Biopharma BOI was €6,230 million and increased by 22.2% (16.5% at actual exchange rates) from €5,347 million in H1 2025. The ratio of BOI to net sales was 28.4% and increased by 1.5pp (28.2% at actual exchange rates, up by 1.3pp).

Immunology
Dupixent (dupilumab)
•The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Dupixent for the treatment of children aged two to 11 years with CSU who remain symptomatic despite histamine-1 antihistamine treatment. This expands the previous approval for Dupixent in adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with CSU.
The approval is based primarily on data from the LIBERTY-CUPID clinical study programme. This includes extrapolation of efficacy and safety data from two phase 3 studies (Study A and Study C; clinical study identifier: NCT04180488) in certain adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with CSU complemented with pharmacokinetics data from the single-arm, CUPIDKids (clinical study identifier: NCT05526521) phase 3 study in children aged two to 11 years with CSU. Study B (clinical study identifier: NCT04180488) provided additional safety data and evaluated Dupixent in patients aged 12 years and older who were inadequate responders or intolerant to anti-IgE therapy and symptomatic despite antihistamine use. Safety in children aged two to 11 years with CSU was supported by data from paediatric patients in other indications. In addition to the

SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q2 2026 | 5 |
US, Dupixent is approved for CSU in certain children aged two to 11 years in the EU and other jurisdictions in the world and under regulatory review in Japan.
•At the time of Q1 2025 results on April 24, 2025, Sanofi announced the regulatory submission acceptance by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) of Dupixent for the treatment of bullous pemphigoid, a rare skin disease. Following feedback from the EMA on the ongoing review of Dupixent in this indication, Sanofi decided to withdraw the regulatory submission. Dupixent is approved for this indication in the US and Japan.
•The two phase 3 studies in the LIBERTY-LSC clinical programme, STYLE 1 (clinical study identifier: NCT06687967) and STYLE 2 (clinical study identifier: NCT06687980) of Dupixent in lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) did not meet their primary endpoints of itch reduction compared to placebo. LSC is a chronic skin disease characterised by persistent, severe itch. The safety data from these studies were generally consistent with the known safety profile of Dupixent. As a result of this outcome, Sanofi and Regeneron will conduct a thorough analysis of these data and plan to present them at a forthcoming medical meeting.
Tzield/Teizeild (teplizumab)
The FDA granted accelerated approval to Tzield to delay the decline in endogenous (own) insulin production in children aged eight to 17 years recently diagnosed with stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D).
The approval was supported by data from the PROTECT phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT03875729), evaluating beta cell function as assessed by significantly slowing the decrease in mean C-peptide levels, a surrogate endpoint reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit, as well as data from the broader clinical development programme that included over 900 patients who received Tzield. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory study(ies). In line with this, the confirmatory BETA-PRESERVE phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT07088068) was initiated and is currently enrolling participants.
In April 2026, the FDA had expanded the indication to delay the onset of stage 3 T1D in adults and children eight years and older with stage 2 T1D, to include children aged one year and above. Tzield is also approved to delay the onset of stage 3 T1D in adults and children eight years and older with stage 2 T1D in the EU (under the name Teizeild), and in other jurisdictions around the world. Tzield was previously designated by the FDA as breakthrough therapy and was granted orphan drug designation, for potential new medicines that treat rare diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the US.
amlitelimab (OX40L mAb)
A decision was made that amlitelimab will not progress to regulatory submission as part of the ongoing strategic assessment of the pipeline. Sanofi has determined that the totality of efficacy and safety evidence generated to date does not support further development of amlitelimab in AD. While the ESTUARY phase 3 long-term extension study (clinical study identifier: NCT06407934) showed long-term maintenance of clinical response without relapse in patients aged 12 years and older with moderate-to-severe AD and an emerging safety profile that builds on previous data, amlitelimab would not represent a meaningful improvement to the standard of care for patients with AD. As a result, the development programme will be discontinued.
itepekimab (IL33 mAb)
Following a thorough assessment of the results from the two phase 3 studies in COPD, AERIFY 1 (clinical study identifier: NCT04701983) and AERIFY 2 (clinical study identifier: NCT04751487) that read out in May 2025, as well as taking into account changes in the competitive landscape, Sanofi and its collaborator Regeneron have decided not to proceed with development of itepekimab in COPD. As a result, the development programmes will be discontinued, including all studies in chronic rhinosinusitis.
balinatunfib (TNF inhibitor)
Interim analyses of two ongoing phase 2 studies for balinatunfib in Crohn’s disease (clinical study identifier: NCT06637631) and ulcerative colitis (clinical study identifier: NCT06867094) showed that the studies did not meet the internal efficacy expectations on clinical endpoints and/or the primary endpoint of clinical remission. As a result, the studies will not continue, and the development programme will be discontinued.
Rare diseases
Nexviazyme (avalglucosidase alfa)
Positive results from the Baby-COMET phase 3, single-arm, open-label study (clinical study identifier: NCT04910776), demonstrated that Nexviazyme met its primary endpoint of proportion of treatment-naïve paediatric patients six months of age and younger with infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD) alive and free of invasive ventilation at 52 weeks of treatment. In addition, the study met all secondary endpoints. In the Baby-COMET study, Nexviazyme was well tolerated, and safety was consistent with the established profile of the medicine. The data will support a regulatory submission for a label extension in the US, anticipated in the second half of 2026.
Pompe disease is a rare, inherited/genetic, progressive neuromuscular disease caused by a deficiency of the acid alpha-glucosidase enzyme that affects muscle function throughout the body. IOPD constitutes the most aggressive variant of this disease, manifesting with swift symptom progression during the first months of life. Without therapeutic intervention, IOPD results in severe and potentially fatal complications affecting the heart, breathing, and movement.
Nexviazyme is approved in multiple countries for the treatment of people living with Pompe disease, with specific indications varying by country. In the US, Nexviazyme was approved in 2021 for the treatment of late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) in patients one year of age and older. In the EU, where the medicine is available under the name Nexviadyme, it received approval for the long-term enzyme replacement therapy of patients with Pompe disease (LOPD and IOPD) in 2022.

SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q2 2026 | 6 |
Wayrilz (rilzabrutinib)
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan granted marketing and manufacturing authorisation to Wayrilz for the treatment of persistent or chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients who do not respond sufficiently to other treatments or in whom tolerability is problematic. Wayrilz can help address the underlying causes of the disease, through multi-immune modulation, targeting key pathways across the immune system. The approval was based on the LUNA 3 phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT04562766), in which Wayrilz met the primary and secondary endpoints, showing a positive impact on sustained platelet counts and other symptoms. Wayrilz is being studied across multiple other rare diseases, including IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), warm autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (wAIHA), and sickle cell disease. Japan has granted Wayrilz orphan drug designation for ITP, IgG4-RD, and wAIHA.
Myqorzo (aficamten)
In May, Cytokinetics, Sanofi’s licensor of Myqorzo in China, announced positive top-line results from the ACACIA-HCM phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT06081894) of Myqorzo in patients with symptomatic non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The study met both dual primary endpoints, demonstrating statistically significant improvements from baseline to week 36 compared to placebo in both the Kansas City cardiomyopathy questionnaire clinical summary score and in maximal exercise performance. In addition, statistically significant improvements compared to placebo were observed in key secondary endpoints including the proportion of participants with improvements in New York Heart Association functional class, the composite z-score of ventilatory efficiency and maximal exercise, and NT-proBNP, a cardiac risk biomarker. There were no new safety signals identified. The results are expected to form the basis for a regulatory submission in China in 2027.
Redemplo (plozasiran)
In China, Redemplo was granted a breakthrough designation for the reduction of triglyceride levels in adult patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia on the basis of dietary control, based on the AROAPOC3-2001 (SHASTA-2) phase 2b study (clinical study identifier: NCT04720534). Redemplo will be marketed in Greater China by Sanofi under an agreement with Arrowhead. In 2025, Sanofi purchased those rights from Visirna, a majority-owned subsidiary of Arrowhead created to develop and commercialise four of Arrowhead’s cardiometabolic pipeline medicines in Greater China. Sanofi plans to initiate launch of Redemplo in the near future for the reduction of triglyceride levels in adult patients with familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS). FCS is a severe, rare disease characterised by triglyceride levels that can be ten to 100 times higher than normal leading to a substantially higher risk of developing acute, recurrent, and potentially fatal pancreatitis.
venglustat (glucosylceramide synthase inhibitor)
The FDA granted priority review to the new drug application (NDA) for venglustat for the treatment of type 3 Gaucher disease (GD3), a rare lysosomal storage disease. Priority review is given to regulatory applications seeking approval for therapies that have the potential to provide significant improvements in the treatment, diagnosis, or prevention of serious conditions. If approved, venglustat would become the first treatment available in the US to address the progressive neurological manifestations associated with GD3 and expand Sanofi’s portfolio of treatment options for patients living with lysosomal storage diseases. The target action date for the FDA decision is November 25, 2026. The NDA was supported by positive data from the LEAP2MONO phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT05222906). Venglustat previously earned breakthrough therapy designation and fast-track designation from the FDA for its potential in GD3, as well as orphan designation for GD3 in the US, EU, and Japan. Venglustat is also currently under regulatory review for GD3 in the EU and Japan. Previously, in Fabry disease, another rare disease, venglustat did not meet the primary endpoint in the PERIDOT phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT05206773) and recently also did not meet the primary endpoint in the CARAT phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT05280548). The long-term extensions of the PERIDOT and CARAT studies are both continuing.
Oncology
Sarclisa (isatuximab)
•The European Commission (EC) approved Sarclisa subcutaneous (SC), at a fixed dose of 1400 mg, in combination with standard-of-care regimens for the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) across all existing indications for the Sarclisa intravenous (IV) formulation. Sarclisa can be dosed through manual SC administration or be used in conjunction with Enable Injections’ CirCLIQ® automated on-body injector (OBI), developed using the enFuse® platform, to subcutaneously deliver Sarclisa with the push of a button using a hidden, retractable, shorter, and thinner needle, and provide the flexibility of administration at patients’ homes and in the outpatient setting.
Sarclisa IV is currently approved across four indications in the EU, including in combination with bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRd) in both transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) and transplant-eligible NDMM. In relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) MM, Sarclisa is approved in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone (Pd) or with carfilzomib and dexamethasone. The approval of Sarclisa SC is based on the results from the pivotal IRAKLIA phase 3 study in R/R MM (clinical study identifier: NCT05405166), which demonstrated non-inferiority of the SC formulation compared to IV, as well as additional studies. In patients from countries where at-home administration was permissible, median injection duration with Sarclisa SC via an OBI was the same between clinic and at-home administration (13 minutes).
•The MHLW granted approval in Japan for Sarclisa SC formulation in combination with approved standard-of-care regimens for the treatment of MM. The approved indications for Sarclisa SC in Japan include combinations with Pd, or with carfilzomib for the treatment of R/R MM and in combination with VRd, for the treatment of adult patients with NDMM. A regulatory submission for the CirCLIQ OBI, submitted by Enable Injections, is under review in Japan. This approval was also based on results from the IRAKLIA phase 3 study as well as supportive studies. In Japan, Sarclisa IV is currently approved across five indications, including in combination with VRd in NDMM, as well as four different treatment regimens in R/R MM (in combination with Pd, in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone, in combination with dexamethasone alone, or as a monotherapy).
| | | | | |
SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q2 2026 | 7 |
•The FDA approved SC Sarclisa, brand name Escena, in combination with standard-of-care regimens for the treatment of patients with MM across all existing indications of Sarclisa IV formulation. With the approval, Sarclisa Escena is the first anticancer treatment to be administered through both an OBI and manual SC administration. Like other geographies, the FDA approval was supported by multiple studies, including the pivotal IRAKLIA phase 3 study, which demonstrated Sarclisa Escena administered subcutaneously via an OBI provided similar efficacy, pharmacokinetics and safety compared to IV infusion, along with a significantly shorter treatment time and fewer infusion-related reactions. The approval of Sarclisa Escena with Enable Injections’ CirCLIQ OBI offers the potential to change the overall patient experience in MM treatment. In addition, the CirCLIQ may streamline the administration process for providers, offering the potential to reduce the physical burden on nurses with a hands-free device and providing more freedom for patient monitoring and interaction.
Sarclisa is currently approved across three indications in the US, including in combination with VRd in NDMM patients not eligible for autologous stem cell transplant. In R/R MM, Sarclisa is approved in combination with Pd in patients who have received ≥two prior therapies, including lenalidomide and a proteasome inhibitor and have relapsed on the last therapy, as well as in combination with carfilzomib and dexamethasone in patients who have received one to three prior lines of therapy.
•An application for Sarclisa SC administered via manual injection is currently under review in China.
Neurology
Cenrifki (tolebrutinib)
The EC approved Cenrifki for the treatment of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) without relapses in the last two years. This follows the positive opinion by the EMA's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use. The approval was based on results from the HERCULES phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT04411641) in non-relapsing SPMS (nrSPMS), with supporting data from the GEMINI 1 (clinical study identifier: NCT04410978) and GEMINI 2 (clinical study identifier: NCT04410991) phase 3 studies in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). The HERCULES study demonstrated that Cenrifki significantly delayed the onset of disability progression in nrSPMS. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an identified safety risk of Cenrifki. Strict adherence to liver monitoring requirements, and prompt management of liver enzyme elevations, are important to mitigate DILI risk. Sanofi will make Cenrifki commercially available in Germany this year in close collaboration between local medical teams, treating MS specialists and their patients, all supported by the required risk management programme and robust patient support programme.
riliprubart (C1s mAb)
In June, it was announced that the riliprubart MOBILIZE phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT06290128) in patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) refractory to standard-of-care treatment would be stopped. This decision followed an interim analysis by an independent data monitoring committee, which determined that the MOBILIZE study was unlikely to provide sufficient efficacy. No safety signals related to riliprubart were identified as part of this interim analysis. The continuation of other ongoing studies with riliprubart, including the VITALIZE phase 3 study (clinical study identifier: NCT06290141) in IVIg-treated patients with CIDP, were being evaluated accordingly. The VITALIZE study continues as planned.
Vaccines
SP0335 (influenza, H5 pandemic, inactivated adjuvanted)
The FDA granted fast-track designation to SP0335, an inactivated, adjuvanted egg-based vaccine candidate for H5 pandemic influenza. The vaccine is currently in phase 2 studies. Sanofi has received funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority within the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, part of the Department of Health and Human Services in the US, for early-stage clinical work on SP0335 including the Matrix-M adjuvant licensed from Novavax.
SP0340 (human metapneumovirus and respiratory syncytial virus)
The FDA granted fast-track designation to SP0340, a protein-based, bivalent vaccine candidate for the prevention of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in older adults. The vaccine is currently in a phase 1 study.

Appendix 8: Definitions of non-IFRS financial indicators
Company sales at constant exchange rates
References to changes in net sales “at constant exchange rates” (CER) means that it excludes the effect of changes in exchange rates.
The effect of exchange rates is eliminated by recalculating net sales for the relevant period at the exchange rates used for the previous period.

Business gross profit
Business gross profit is a non-IFRS indicator that fully excludes from gross profit under IFRS the effect of the release of the fair value step-up to inventory that is recognised upon acquisition which constitutes a business combination under IFRS 3 ‘Business combinations’ or which is part of a group of assets as per IFRS 3§2b.
Business net income
Sanofi publishes a key non-IFRS indicator. Business net income is defined as net income attributable to equity holders of Sanofi excluding:
•net income from discontinued operations,

Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial indicator which is reviewed by management, and which management believes provides useful information to measure the net cash generated from Sanofi’s operations that is available for strategic investments2 (net of divestments2), for debt repayment, and for capital return to shareholders. Free cash flow is determined from the business net income adjusted for depreciation, amortisation, and impairment, share of profit/loss in associates and joint ventures net of dividends received, gains and losses on disposals, net change in provisions including pensions and other post-employment benefits, deferred taxes, share-based expense, and other non-cash items. It comprises net changes in working capital, capital expenditures and other asset acquisitions3 net of disposal proceeds3, and payments related to restructuring and similar items. Free cash flow is not defined by IFRS, and it is not a substitute measure for the IFRS aggregate net cash flow in operating activities.
1 Reported in the line items restructuring costs and similar items and gains and losses on disposals, and litigation.
2 Amount of the transaction above a cap of €500 million per transaction (inclusive of all payments related to the transaction).
