2025 outlook adjusted
- Full-year 2025 net sales are now expected to decline low single digit on a comparable basis2, compared to slightly decreasing to steady. Anchored in a heightened commercial focus, the second-half performance is expected to strengthen vs H1. Alongside sustained sales in Opioids, stronger HP API sales, continued positive momentum in CMO activity, ongoing inventory build-up of discontinued APIs, and a catch-up in Vitamin B12 volumes should further support sales momentum through year-end.
- We reaffirm our Core EBITDA margin target of 7% to 9% of net sales. Confident in our ability to sustain the financial discipline demonstrated in H1, we now aim to be in the upper part of the range.
H1-2025 Net Sales
EUROAPI H1-2025 Net Sales reached €412.1 million, -8.2% versus H1 2024 as reported and - 7.6% at Constant Exchange Rates.
Net sales per type of activity
| (in € millions) | H1-2025 | H1-2024 | Change |
| API Solutions – Other clients | 175.9 | 168.6 | +4.3% |

| Total Net Sales – Other clients | 236.0 | 240.9 | -2.0% |
API Solutions
API Solutions ' net sales decreased by 9.8% to €299.7 million.
- Sales to Sanofi declined by 24.4% to €123.9 million3. The overall sales decrease was mainly driven by an unfavorable comparison base as H1 2024 included €21 million one-off impact related to the stock clearance of Buserelin. In addition, sales of Sevelamer, produced at the Haverhill site fell sharply by 29%.
- Sales to Other Clients increased by 4.3%3. Solid growth in Opioids was partially offset by a decline in Vitamin B12 (including a shift of volumes to H2). The cross-selling strategy continued to be deployed, accounting for approximately 8% of API Solutions sales to Other Clients in H1.
CDMO
CDMO sales decreased by 3.4% to €112.4 million.
- Sales to Sanofi increased by 18.4%, driven by higher volumes of Pristinamycin, an anti-infective produced at the Elbeuf site, and the growing demand for Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) produced in Vertolaye and used in skin care products.
- Sales to Other Clients decreased by 16.7%.The gradual ramp up of the CMO project signed in 2024 with a global animal health company4 was more than offset by the downsizing and discontinuation of pre-carve out mature contracts. Over the semester, we continued to derisk our CDMO portfolio. At the end of June 2025, large companies represented 48% of the 50 active projects, up from 47% at the end of H1 2024, and 60% of these projects were late-stage, stable vs the same period last year.
Net Sales per type of molecule
| (in € million) | H1-2025 | H1-2024 | Change |
| Large molecules | 29.8 | 58.8 | -49.3% |
| Highly potent molecules | 30.9 | 47.1 | -34.4% |
| Biochemistry molecules derived from fermentation | 52.8 | 43.7 | +20.7% |
| Complex chemical synthesis molecules | 298.6 | 299.1 | -0.2% |
| Net Sales | 412.1 | 448.7 | -8.2% |
The decrease in Large molecules was driven by an unfavorable comparison base as H1 2024 included €21 million one-off impact from Buserelin stock clearance. The performance of Highly potent molecules was impacted by a phasing impact, and the pause, following completion, of two early-stage CDMO projects. While H1 2024 had been impacted by the suspension of production at Brindisi, H1 2025 sales of Biochemistry molecules derived from fermentationbenefited from Pristinamycin volumes to Sanofi, partially offset by lower Vitamin B12 sales.

Gross profit was €76.6 million, down from €98.0 million in H1 2024. Gross profit margin stood at 18.6% compared to 21.8% in H1 2024, which reflected notably the one-off impact of Buserelin’s stock clearance.
Core EBITDA amounted to €39.5 million, compared to €47.6 million in H1 2024. The Core EBITDA margin was 9.6%, down from 10.6% in H1 2024.The decrease in OPEX reflects lower personnel costs, and substantial savings in external expenditures, driven by strengthened financial discipline and effective cost control measures.

Net Cash position was €1.1 million compared with a €25.2 million at the end of December 2024. While Operating Working Capital continued to be tightly managed, the increase in Inventories was notably driven by the seasonality of the production cycle. Months on Hand stood at 7.8 compared to 8.5 in H1 2024. The decrease in receivables is notably driven by the launch of a factoring program to improve liquidity, and secure cash inflows. €14.3 million were factored at the end of June 2025. DSO (which excludes the impact of the factoring) was 43, flat versus H1 2024, reflecting continued focus on Cash Collection.
H1 2025 Other Current Assets and Liabilities include the €18 million paid by Sanofi to secure available capacity for five selected products as part of the financing of FOCUS-27, and various operating elements. H1 2024 Other Current Assets and Liabilities included a €27 million variation in VAT tax reimbursement.
Capex reached €(37.8) million (9.2% of Net Sales), of which 60% were dedicated to growth projects. Full Year 2025 CAPEX are expected to range between €80 and €90 million, in line with FOCUS-27 target.
Free Cash Flow before financing activities was €(20.0) million, compared to €10 million at the end of June 20248.The decrease was driven by the negative impact of Other Current Assets and Liabilities in H1 2025.

Update on FOCUS-27 strategic plan
Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI)
The French Government and EUROAPI have signed, on 28 July 2025, the contractual agreement for the granting of up to €140 million in public aid to support the investments related to the IPCEI Med4Cure project. The aid will be granted, within the France 2030 framework, on the basis of actual expenses between 2025 and 2035. EUROAPI will bring together a collaborative ecosystem of start-ups, SMEs, and academic teams to carry out innovative and structuring projects.
Haverhill site sold to Particle Dynamics
In line with the footprint rationalization announced as part of FOCUS-27, the Haverhill site in the UK was sold to Particle Dynamics on 30 June 2025. The transaction was completed under financial terms reflecting the fair value of the shares sold9, and had a limited cash impact on EUROAPI’s H1 2025 consolidated financial statements. The capital gain impacting H1 2025 EBITDA was €4.7 million euros.
Haverhill contributed €14 million in net sales and €3 million in Core EBITDA in H1 2025 consolidated results, compared to €25 million in net sales and €9 million in Core EBITDA in H1 2024, and €35 million net sales and €(1) million Core EBITDA in 2024.
Products discontinuation
The API discontinuation program is progressing well. The products scheduled for discontinuation represented approximately €35 million in H1 2025 sales, of which an estimated €10 million was attributed to stockpiling. Impact on Gross profit was neutral due to increased volumes linked to stockpiling ahead of discontinuation.
Glossary and definition of non-GAAP indicators
Net Sales at Constant Exchange Rate (CER)
H1 2025 sales are calculated at H1 2024 Exchange rates
On a comparable basis
At constant perimeter and constant exchange rates. Figures at constant perimeter exclude the impact of acquisitions and disposals that occurred during the current year or during the previous year, until the anniversary date of the transaction.
EBITDA and Core EBITDA
EBITDA corresponds to operating income (loss) restated for depreciation and amortization and net impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
Core EBITDA thus corresponds to EBITDA restated for restructuring costs and similar items (excluding depreciation and write-downs), allocations net of reversals of unutilized provisions for environmental risks, and other items not representative of the Group’s current operating performance or related to the effects of acquisitions or disposals.
Cash Flow before Financing activities
Cash Flow before Financing activities corresponds to the sum of Cash Flow from Operating Activities and Cash Flow from Investing Activities as presented in the consolidated statement of Cash Flow.

Idle costs are mainly affecting Frankfurt with the extended impact of the decision in 2024 to discontinue 9 APIs and Haverhill considering the company’s refocused commercial strategy and the divestment process that has been finalized in June 2025.
The €(4.7) million euros of “Other” reflects the gain of the disposal of Haverhill.
