Q3 2014 sales underpinned by Southern Europe and international markets

Consolidated sales for the third quarter of 2014 totalled €45.7 million, stable compared with the third quarter of 2013.

"Southern Europe” Region posted a strong performance with a growth of 3.3%, due to the performance of France where the new pump for the sublingual product Staloral® was successfully launched and where Oralair® has become the leader of the tablet market in a single year of launch.

"Northern and Central Europe” Region saw a slowdown due to Germany, which in 2013 had benefited from a positive effect related to a VAT refund. This slowdown was not offset by the strong performance of Switzerland (+20%) and Central European countries, such as Poland (+8%) and Hungary (+160%).

Outside Europe, international markets posted strong and sustained growth (up 33%), particularly in high potential markets such as Australia, Turkey and Russia. This performance confirms the relevance of the Group’s expansion strategy regarding new international markets, which, over the quarter, represented 9% of Group sales, versus 7% in Q3 2013.

Continued international expansion of the Group

In the sublingual segment, the five-grass pollen immunotherapy tablet Oralair® achieved the strongest sales growth on the tablet market, securing a global market share of 48%1 in the grass pollen tablet segment. Available in 23 countries, Oralair® is continuing its expansion and will be launched in Turkey over the next few weeks.

In the US, Oralair®, the first and only five-grass pollen sublingual immunotherapy tablet with a pre-co-seasonal protocol authorised in this country, has, since May 2014, been marketed by Greer Laboratories Inc., a US leader in allergen immunotherapy. With the first sales recorded during the pollen season due to the late launch of the product, prescriptions for the 2015 season will start in November 2014.

In addition, Stallergenes has strengthened its presence in North America with the creation of an affiliate in Canada, which will give the opportunity to reinforce initiatives previously undertaken by a local partner.
