"In 2013, Stallergenes delivered another year of revenue growth and a strengthened level of profitability. Thanks to our dynamic innovation and development strategy, Stallergenes is expanding the frontiers of allergen immunotherapy. In the US, we are on track for potential approval in Q1 2014”, stated Roberto Gradnik, Chief Executive Officer.
2013 revenues
2013 consolidated revenues were €248.1 million, showing 3.5% growth compared to last year. Total revenues include a milestone related to the commercialization of Oralair® in the US.
Stallergenes recorded slight growth in the "Southern Europe” region which is facing a continuing difficult economic environment. The Group’ sales grew particularly in the "North and Central Europe” region, thanks to Germany which has shown a positive growth trend (+7%) and in Central Europe countries where the sales performance was strong, notably in Poland, and also in Austria where revenues were mainly driven by Oralair®.
Within international markets, Stallergenes posted a strong performance particularly in Russia and Turkey, by enlarging the sublingual immunotherapy market and by increasing the number of prescribers. Overall, international markets have been adversely impacted by foreign exchange and distribution effects.
