We look forward to entering a new growth phase led by our increasing focus on Specialty Care and our leadership positions in Emerging Markets and Vaccines."

Second-quarter Vaccines performance was impacted as expected by the supply constraint of Pentaxim® in China, a high basis of comparison for Menactra® and phasing for the Polio/Pertussis/Hib franchise. Second-quarter Vaccines sales decreased by 15.7% to €811 million reflecting a decline of 15.5% to €329 million in Emerging Markets and a decrease of 25.4% to €265 million in the U.S. As anticipated, first-half Vaccines sales were lower than in the first half of 2017, down 9.3% to €1,522 million. In the second half of 2018, sales of the Vaccines GBU are expected to grow in mid-single digit, supported by the growth of the Polio/Pertussis/Hib franchise, including the progressive recovery in Pentaxim® supply in China as of the third quarter.

In the second quarter, Polio/Pertussis/Hib (PPH) vaccines sales decreased 20.3% to €354 million, reflecting the supply constraint for Pentaxim® in China and impacted by the timing of tender business for Pentaxim® and Hexaxim® in Emerging Markets. In the U.S., PPH vaccines sales decreased 25.0% to €65 million, reflecting inventory fluctuation for Pentacel® and Daptacel®. First-half Polio/Pertussis/Hib vaccines sales decreased 12.8% to €734 million.

Second-quarter Travel and other endemic vaccines sales were €126 million up 15.9% supported by increased demand for Yellow fever and Typhim®. First-half Travel and other endemic vaccines sales were up 9.6% to €228 million.

Second-quarter Menactra® sales decreased 31.5% to €116 million due a high basis for comparison. In the second quarter of the previous year, Menactra® sales benefited from CDC order phasing in the U.S. and a meningitis outbreak in Australia which together accounted for €58 million. First-half Menactra® sales decreased 16.6% to €205 million.

Second-quarter Influenza vaccines sales were up 7.1% to €98 million driven by the Southern Hemisphere flu campaign. First-half Influenza vaccines sales increased 0.7% to €127 million.

Second-quarter Adult Booster vaccines sales decreased 14.8% to €94 million due to lower sales in the U.S. (down 21.1% to €56 million) reflecting timing of orders which are expected to be weighted in the second half of 2018. First-half Adult Booster vaccines sales increased 2.1% to €186 million.

Second-quarter sales in the U.S. decreased 4.4% to €2,479 million, reflecting the good performances of Dupixent® and Aubagio® and consolidation of Eloctate® and Alprolix® sales offset by lower sales in Diabetes (down 30.1%) and Vaccines (down 25.4%) as well as generic competition for sevelamer. In the U.S., first-half sales decreased 6.3% to €4,677 million.

Second-quarter sales in Emerging Markets grew 5.2% to €2,525 million, mainly driven by Established Rx Products (up 7.8%), Diabetes (up 11.8%) and CHC (up 10.1%). In Asia, second-quarter sales were up 9.0% to €993 million, reflecting strong performance in China (up 11.0% to €613 million) despite Pentaxim® local supply constraint. In Latin America, second-quarter sales increased 4.5% to €648 million. Second-quarter sales in Brazil were up 1.1% to €240 million impacted by lower sales in Rare Disease and Diabetes. In Africa and the Middle East region, second-quarter sales were €539 million down 7.4% (down 5.0% excluding Maphar in Morocco in which Sanofi sold a controlling stake at the end of Q2 2017 and therefore is no longer consolidating sales) reflecting lower Vaccines sales in South Africa and Middle East. Second-quarter sales in the Eurasia region increased 17.3% to €307 million, supported by strong growth in Turkey and Russia. Second-quarter sales in Russia were €168 million up 17.2% driven by Pharma and Vaccines. In Emerging Markets, first-half sales increased 6.8% to €4,992 million.

Second-quarter sales in Europe were €2,342 million, up 0.1% mainly driven by Rare Disease (up 6.2%), CHC (up 6.6%) and the roll-out of Dupixent® and Praluent® which offset lower sales in Established Rx Products (down 3.6%) and Multiple Sclerosis (down 15.5%). In Europe, first-half sales increased 0.3% to €4,758 million.

Sales in Japan decreased 3.0% to €430 million in the second quarter, due to lower sales of Plavix® and Aprovel® generic competition. In Japan, first-half sales decreased 5.4% to €875 million.

2018 Second-quarter and first-half financial results(13)

Business Net Income(13)

In the second quarter of 2018, Sanofi generated net sales of €8,176 million, a decrease of 5.7% (up 0.1% at CER). First-half sales were €16,074 million, down 7.2% on a reported basis (down 0.1% at CER).

Second-quarter other revenues increased 13.0% (up 21.1% at CER) to €305 million, reflecting the VaxServe sales contribution of non-Sanofi products (€228 million, up 26.7% at CER) and the collaboration revenues from Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB. First-half other revenues increased 2.7% (up 13.1% at CER) to €533 million of which €397 million were generated by VaxServe (up 20.1% at CER).

Second-quarter Gross Profit decreased 5.1% to €5,830 million (up 0.9% at CER). The gross margin ratio was 71.3% (71.3% at CER) versus 70.8% in the second quarter of 2017. The positive impact of business mix toward Specialty Care as well as the contribution from Bioverativ more than offset the negative impacts from U.S. Diabetes net price evolution and sevelamer generic competition. In the second quarter of 2018, the gross margin ratio of segments were 74.9% for Pharmaceuticals (up 0.1 percentage points), 67.4% for CHC (up 1.4 percentage points) and 55.1% for Vaccines (down 2.8 percentage points). First-half Gross Profit decreased 7.3% to €11,441 million (stable at CER). In the first half of 2018, the gross margin ratio decreased 0.1 percentage point to 71.2% (71.4% at CER) versus the first half of 2017. Sanofi expects its gross margin ratio to be between 70% and 71% at CER in 2018.

Research and Development (R&D) expenses increased 8.6% to €1,475 million in the second quarter of 2018. At CER, R&D expenses increased 13.1%, mainly reflecting the acquisitions of Bioverativ and Ablynx together with the investments in the immuno-oncology and diabetes programs. In 2018, second-quarter R&D expenses also included clinical materials for comparator studies purchased from a third party (which were recorded in R&D expenses); as part of the agreement, the expense (€58 million) was offset by income related to data shared with this same third party on a previously divested product candidate, which was recorded under the "other current operating income net of expenses" line. Excluding the impact of this transaction, second-quarter R&D expenses grew 8.6% at CER. First-half R&D expenses increased 3.3% to €2,755 million (up 8.9% at CER).

Second-quarter selling general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 2.8% to €2,499 million. At CER, SG&A expenses were up 2.7% reflecting consolidation of Bioverativ and Ablynx and investments in immunology, which were partially offset by lower Diabetes expenses in the U.S. In the second quarter, the ratio of SG&A to sales increased 0.9 percentage points to 30.6% compared to the second quarter of 2017. First-half SG&A expenses decreased 4.8% to €4,809 million (up 1.8% at CER). In the first half of 2018, the ratio of SG&A to sales was 0.7 percentage points higher at 29.9% compared to the same period of 2017.

Second-quarter other current operating income net of expenses was €189 million versus €68 million in the second quarter of 2017 and included the share of profit to Regeneron of the monoclonal antibodies Alliance. In the second quarter of 2018, this line also included the Ablynx acquisition-related fees which were more than offset by €123 million of capital gains on disposals of some small products in Latin American and Europe, in line with our portfolio simplification efforts. This line also benefited from the aforementioned data share agreement. First-half other current operating income net of expenses was €158 million versus €102 million in the first half of 2017.

The share of profits from associates was €75 million in the second quarter versus €46 million for the same period of 2017 partly driven by the increased contribution of the share of profits in Regeneron. In the first half, the share of profits from associates was €149 million versus €70 million for the same period of 2017.

In the second quarter, non-controlling interests were -€28 million versus -€30 million in the second quarter of 2017. First-half non-controlling interests were -€58 million versus -€65 million for the same period of 2017.

Second-quarter business operating income decreased 8.9% to €2,092 million. At CER, business operating income decreased 1.0%. The ratio of business operating income to net sales decreased 0.9 percentage points to 25.6% versus the second quarter of 2017. Over the period, the business operating income ratio of segments were 37.5% for Pharmaceuticals (down 0.5 percentage points), 35.6% for CHC (up 8.7 percentage points) and 16.0% for Vaccines (down 9.7 percentage points). First-half business operating income was €4,126 million, down 12.8% (or down 3.8% at CER). In the first half of 2018 the ratio of business operating income to net sales decreased 1.6 percentage point to 25.7%.

Net financial expenses were -€107 million in the second quarter versus -€60 million in the same period of 2017. In the second quarter of 2018, net financial expenses included the cost associated with the Bioverativ and Ablynx acquisitions. First-half net financial expenses were -€105 million versus -€123 million in the first half of 2017.

(13) See Appendix 3 for 2018 second-quarter consolidated income statement; see Appendix 10 for definitions of financial indicators, and Appendix 4 for reconciliation of IFRS net income reported to business net income.
The second-quarter effective tax rate was 22.0% compared to 24.5% in the second quarter of 2017, mainly reflecting the net positive impact of the U.S. tax reform and lower tax rates in different countries. First-half effective tax rate was 22.0% compared to 24.5% in the same period of 2017.

Second-quarter business net income(13) decreased 7.9% to €1,558 million and increased 0.4% at CER. The ratio of business net income to net sales decreased 0.4 percentage points to 19.1% versus the second quarter of 2017. First-half 2018 business net income(13) decreased 9.4% to €3,156 million and increased 0.4% at CER. The ratio of business net income to net sales decreased 0.5 percentage points to 19.6% versus the first half of 2017.

In the second quarter of 2018, business earnings per share(13) (EPS) decreased 6.7% to €1.25 on a reported basis and increased 1.5% at CER. The average number of shares outstanding was 1,247.4 million versus 1,258.2 million in the second quarter of 2017.

In the first half of 2018, business earnings per share(13) was €2.53, down 8.3% on a reported basis and up 1.4% at CER. The average number of shares outstanding was 1,247.8 million in the first half of 2018 versus 1,260.3 million in the first half of 2017.

Reconciliation of IFRS net income reported to business net income (see Appendix 4)

In the first half of 2018, the IFRS net income was €1,778 million. The main items excluded from the business net income were:

  • An amortization charge of €999 million related to fair value remeasurement on intangible assets of acquired companies (primarily Aventis: €145 million, Genzyme: €385 million, Boehringer Ingelheim CHC business: €120 million, Bioverativ: €161 million) and to acquired intangible assets (licenses/products: €65 million). An amortization charge of €541 million related to fair value remeasurement on intangible assets of acquired companies (primarily Aventis: €72 million, Genzyme: €191 million, Boehringer Ingelheim CHC business: €60 million, Bioverativ: €124 million), and to acquired intangible assets (licenses/products: €32 million) was recorded in the second quarter. These items have no cash impact on the Company.
     
  • An impairment of intangible assets of €101 million (of which €98 million in the second quarter) mainly related to Lemtrada® reflecting recent sales trends. This item has no cash impact on the Company.
     
  • A charge of €99 million (of which €69 million in the second quarter) arising from the workdown of inventories of acquired companies (related to Bioverativ) remeasured at fair value due to the application of purchase accounting to acquisitions. This item has no cash impact on the Group.
     
  • Restructuring costs and similar items of €607 million (of which €416 million in the second quarter) mainly related to accelerated depreciation of industrial assets and the U.S. and streamlining initiatives in Europe and Japan. In addition, restructuring costs includes the cost of transfer to Evotec of the early stage infectious diseases R&D portfolio and the Research unit for an amount of €253 million.
     
  • A €475 million tax effect arising from the items listed above, mainly comprising €275 million of deferred taxes generated by amortization and impairments of intangible assets, and €183 million associated with restructuring costs and similar items. The second quarter tax effect was €290 million, including €153 million of deferred taxes on amortization charged against intangible assets and €131 million associated with restructuring costs and similar items (see Appendix 4). 
     
  • A €93 million tax effect (of which €27 million in the second quarter) arising mainly from the U.S. tax reform.
     
  • An income of €74 million net of tax (of which €30 million in the second quarter) related to restructuring costs of associates and joint ventures, and expenses arising from the impact of acquisitions on associates and joint ventures.

Capital Allocation

In the first half of 2018, net cash generated by operating activities was €1,854 million after capital expenditures of €689 million and an increase in working capital of €1,139 million. This net cash flow funded restructuring costs and similar items (€414 million) and share repurchases (€730 million). Over the period, the dividend paid by Sanofi was €3,773 million and acquisitions and partnerships net of disposals were €12,460 million (including €12,685 million related to Bioverativ and Ablynx). As a consequence, net debt increased from €5,229 million at December 31, 2017, to €21,278 million at June 30, 2018 (amount net of € 7,493 million cash and cash equivalents).

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 second quarter and first half 2018

€ million Q2 2018 H1 2018
Net sales 8,176 16,074
Effect of exchange rates (508) (1,227)
Company sales at constant exchange rates 8,684 17,301

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,

·         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 Note B.20. to our consolidated financial statements.
