HIGHLIGHTS

Growth of Lundbeck’s strategic brands accelerates further growing 30% (+19% in local currencies) in the first nine months of 2022 thereby reaching DKK 8.8 billion, representing 65% of overall revenue.

  • Brintellix®/Trintellix®: +24% reported to DKK 3,177 million (+15% in local currencies)

  • Abilify Maintena®: +20% reported to DKK 2,164 million (+13% in local currencies)
  • Vyepti®: +105% reported to DKK 672 million (+82% in local currencies)

All markets contribute to revenue momentum with total revenue growing 11% (+6% in local currencies to DKK 13,566 million

  • International Markets: +13% reported to DKK 4,023 million (+5% in local currencies)
  • Europe: +11% reported to DKK 3,154 million (+11% in local currencies)

Currency favorability on product sales partially offset by negative hedging effects of DKK 401 million. Individual cost items significantly impacted by exchange rates. However, Core EBIT margin improved from 24.3% to 24.9% for the first nine months of 2022 and further improved from 20.6% to 27.5% in the third quarter despite investments in marketing and sales costs underpinning the launch of Vyepti in several markets during 2022.

  • EBITDA: +14% reported to DKK 3,753 million
  • EBIT: +22% reported to DKK 2,449 million
  • Core EBIT: +13% reported to DKK 3,372 million
  • EPS: +22% reported to DKK 1.62
  • Core EPS: +24% reported to DKK 2.61

In connection with the financial report, Lundbeck’s President and CEO, Deborah Dunsire said:

“Reporting 11% growth in our total revenues with our strategic brands themselves growing 30% underlines the strong momentum in the Lundbeck business. Our R&D transformation is advancing strongly. Lundbeck has substantial growth ahead and we will invest behind those opportunities.”
