The company has outlined plans to execute a share buyback programme of 鈧�5bn during the year, preferably through block trades and in the open market.
Sanofi CEO Paul Hudson stated: 鈥淲e achieved double-digit sales growth in 2024 while pursuing the transformation of the company. Innovation was a key driver of our growth as launches already contributed 11% of sales, with Beyfortus becoming a blockbuster in its first full year of sales.
鈥淎s we enter 2025, we expect continued, solid growth in sales and a strong rebound in earnings. We are also confident in the mid to long-term growth prospects of Sanofi, supported by ongoing launches, Dupixent (currently expected to reach sales of around 鈧�22bn in 2030, in line with the current ambition), and expected future launches from our pipeline.鈥�
