In the fourth quarter, global Diabetes sales decreased 10.5% to €1,375 million, due to lower glargine (Lantus® and Toujeo®) sales in the U.S. Fourth-quarter U.S. Diabetes sales were down 26.3% to €555 million, reflecting the previously announced changes in coverage of the Part D business and a continued decline in average U.S. glargine net prices. Fourth-quarter sales in Emerging Markets increased 7.7% to €376 million. Fourth-quarter sales in Europe decreased 0.6% to €320 million, supported by Toujeo® growth. Full-year global Diabetes sales decreased 10.4% to €5,472 million.

In Europe, glargine sales were stable ato €245 million reflecting strong Toujeo® performance. Full-year glargine sales decreased 15.1% to €4,405 million. In 2019, Sanofi expects a further net pricing decline for its glargine products in the U.S. as a result of higher rebates needed to maintain broad payer coverage and the increased Part D coverage gap impact.

In the fourth quarter, Lantus® sales were €866 million, down 19.7%. In the U.S., Lantus® sales decreased 37.0% to €379 million, mainly reflecting lower average net price and changes in coverage in Part D. In Europe, fourth-quarter Lantus® sales were €168 million, down 8.2% due to biosimilar glargine competition and patients switching to Toujeo®. In Emerging Markets, fourth-quarter Lantus® sales were up 7.7% to €242 million. Full-year Lantus® sales decreased 19.0% to €3,565 million.

In the fourth quarter, Established Rx Products sales decreased 6.8% to €2,126 million, reflecting lower U.S. sales of Renvela®/Renagel® (sevelamer) due to generic competition, together with lower sales of Lovenox® in Europe and Plavix® in Japan. Full-year Established Rx Products sales decreased 6.1% to €8,843 million.

Fourth quarter Lovenox® sales decreased 9.0% to €346 million, reflecting biosimilar competition in the UK, Poland, Germany, Italy and France.

Full-year Lovenox® sales were down 3.0% to €1,465 million

In the fourth quarter, Plavix® sales were down 4.9% to €328 million. The decline was mainly driven by generic penetration in Japan (sales down 31.5% to €38 million) and procurement timing in the Middle East. Plavix® sales continued to grow in China. Sales of the product decreased in the rest of Emerging Markets and increased 2.9% in Europe. Full-year Plavix® sales were up 1.2% to €1,440 million.

Fourth-quarter Aprovel®/Avapro® sales decreased 2.5% to €151 million due to loss of exclusivity in Japan in December 2017. In Emerging Markets, performance continued to be strong with sales up 8.6% to €112 million. Full-year Aprovel®/Avapro® sales decreased 1.7% to €652 million.

Fourth-quarter Renvela®/Renagel® (sevelamer) sales decreased 39.4% to €96 million due to generic competition in the U.S. (down 53.0% to €57 million). Full-year Renvela®/Renagel® sales decreased 46.7% to €411 million.

At CS, fourth-quarter sales were up 2.0% driven by Vaccines (up 21.9%) and the roll-out of Dupixent® which offset lower sales in Established Rx Products (down 6.8%). In Europe, full-year sales decreased 0.6% to €9,434 million and increased 1.1% at CS.

Sales in Japan decreased 1.4% to €423 million in the fourth quarter. The consolidation of Rare Blood Disorder sales was more than offset by the impact of Plavix®  and Aprovel® generic competition and lower Vaccines sales. In Japan, full-year sales decreased 2.0% to €1,710 million.

R&D update

Consult Appendix 6 for full overview of Sanofi's R&D pipeline

R&D strategy

Sanofi is today providing an update on the evolution of its R&D strategy. Consistent with its ambition to be an industry innovation leader, Sanofi has increased its R&D focus on Specialty Care therapy areas (Oncology, Immunology, Rare Disease and Rare Blood Disorder) while maintaining its commitment to Vaccines. Since 2017, the number of R&D programs in these areas has increased significantly, and they now represent over 90% of Sanofi's clinical portfolio. This change reflects advances in the Company's R&D capabilities and understanding of human biology.

In support of this strategy, Sanofi recently carried out a rigorous pipeline prioritization review to accelerate investment behind its most promising programs and to discontinue those with a less attractive expected return profile. As a result, the Company is accelerating the development of 17 programs, including 8 in Oncology. Thirteen development projects and 25 research projects are being discontinued to enhance the company's focus on delivering first and best in class medicines. Overall, Sanofi could potentially submit 9 new medicines and 25 additional indications to regulatory authorities over 2019 to 2022.

Through the development of its own expertise and the establishment of partnerships with industry pioneers, Sanofi has access to a broad range of therapeutic modalities that enable a more customized, science-driven approach to targeting disease. This includes development of next-generation biologics, such as multi-specific antibodies and Nanobodies, which provide new opportunities relative to traditional monoclonal antibodies in areas such as oncology and immunology, as well as gene therapies. The Company is also employing data science and machine learning across the R&D organization to generate higher quality data, accelerate development and regulatory submissions, and reduce costs.  Sanofi expects to maintain an annual R&D budget of approximately €6 billion through 2021.

Regulatory update

Collaborations

In January 2019, Sanofi and Regeneron announced a restructuring of their global Immuno-Oncology Discovery and Development Agreement for new IO cancer treatments. The 2015 agreement was scheduled to end in approximately mid-2020. This revision provides for ongoing collaborative development of two clinical-stage bispecific antibody programs (BCMAxCD3 and MUC16xCD3 bispecific). It also provides Sanofi with increased flexibility to advance its early-stage IO pipeline independently while Regeneron retains all rights to its other IO discovery and development programs.

In January 2019, BioNTech announced that it has extended its research collaboration with Sanofi initiated in late 2015 in the field of mRNA cancer immunotherapy.

In January 2019, MyoKardia, Inc. announced that it regained worldwide rights to all programs covered under its license and collaboration agreement with Sanofi. The collaboration has not been extended beyond the initial research term, which ended on December 31, 2018. As a result, MyoKardia now has regained global rights to all programs in its portfolio, including mavacamten (a Myosin inhibitor evaluated in obstructive and non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and MYK-491 (a Myosin activator evaluated in dilated cardiomyopathy) and the license and collaboration will conclude in its entirety effective April 1, 2019.

In December sanofi and Medicines for Malaria Ventures (MMV) agreed to transfer the operational responsibility for the development of Ferroquine/OZ439, to MMV in such a way that MMV would assume leadership while sanofi remains the sponsor of the studies, fulfilling drug supply, regulatory and legal obligations. Ferroquine/OZ439 is a first in class combination for malaria previously developed in collaboration with MMV.

In November, Sanofi announced that it plans to collaborate with Denali Therapeutics Inc. on the development of multiple molecules with the potential to treat a range of neurological and systemic inflammatory diseases.

Appendix 10: Definitions of non-GAAP financial indicators

Company

"Company" corresponds to Sanofi and its subsidiaries

Company sales at constant exchange rates (CER)

When we refer to changes in our net sales "at constant exchange rates" (CER), this means that we exclude the effect of changes in exchange rates.

We eliminate the effect of exchange rates by recalculating net sales for the relevant period at the exchange rates used for the previous period.

Reconciliation of net sales to Company sales at constant exchange rates for the fourth quarter and full-year 2018

€ million Q4 2018  2018
Net sales 8,997 34,463
Effect of exchange rates (33) (1,492)
Company sales at constant exchange rates 9,030 35,955

Business net income

Sanofi publishes a key non-GAAP indicator.
Business net income is defined as net income attributable to equity holders of Sanofi excluding:

  • amortization of intangible assets,
  • impairment of intangible assets,
  • fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration related to business combinations or to disposals,
  • other impacts associated with acquisitions (including impacts of acquisitions on associates and joint ventures),
  • restructuring costs and similar items(1),
  • other gains and losses (including gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets(1)),
  • costs or provisions associated with litigation(1),
  • tax effects related to the items listed above as well as effects of major tax disputes,
  • net income attributable to non-controlling interests related to the items listed above.
  1. Reported in the line items Restructuring costs and similar items and Gains and losses on disposals, and litigation, which are defined in Notes B.19 and B.20. to our consolidated financial statements.
