Q1 2014 sales driven by Northern and Central Europe as well as international markets

Consolidated sales for the 1st quarter of 2014 totalled € 75.7 million, an increase of 1.5% compared to the 1st quarter of 2013.

The Northern and Central Europe region achieved a solid performance, due to Germany, Switzerland and Central European countries such as Poland and Hungary. In the Southern Europe region, Stallergenes continued to face a difficult economic environment, resulting in a flat sales trend.

Outside Europe, international markets posted strong growth (up 21.2%), with double digit growth in several key countries, including Turkey, the Middle East and Australia, despite the fact that sales in Russia were partly impacted by foreign exchange effects.

ORALAIR® continues its growth and is the first immunotherapy tablet approved by the FDA

In the sublingual segment, the 5-grass pollen immunotherapy tablet ORALAIR® achieved continued growth, with sales rising 17.7% in the first quarter of the year compared to the same period last year, thanks in particular to double-digit growth in France, Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In France, ORALAIR® achieved a 53%1 market share in the grass pollen tablet segment.

On 1 April 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ORALAIR®, the US market’s first immunotherapy tablet for the treatment of grass pollen-induced allergic rhinitis with or without conjunctivitis. ORALAIR® is the only sublingual allergen immunotherapy tablet made up of a combination of the five grass allergen extracts to which most patients in the U.S. are exposed. ORALAIR® will be launched on the U.S. market as of May 2014 by Stallergenes’ partner, Greer Laboratories,Inc.
