Q1 2025 highlights
• LEO Pharma’s revenue increased by 10% year-on-year to DKK 3,373 million, and by 9% at constant exchange rates (CER). The revenue growth was led by North America (+45% at CER), with Europe (+2% at CER) and Rest of World (+5% at CER) also contributing to the overall growth.

• Operating profit improved significantly, with adjusted EBITDA reaching DKK 545 million in Q1 2025, reflecting a margin of 16% (Q1 2024: 8%) excluding the upfront payment from Gilead and other non-recurring items.
• Net profit for the quarter was DKK 1,742 million (Q1 2024: negative DKK 366 million), including non-recurring items.
• Free cash flow was positive DKK 1,386 million for Q1 2025 (Q1 2024: negative DKK 571 million), and net interest-bearing debt was reduced to DKK 9,750 million (YE 2024: DKK 11,115 million). Excluding one off M&A-related payments, free cash flow in Q1 2025 was negative DKK 241 million.
• In Q1, LEO Pharma reported positive results from the DELTA TEEN and DELTA China trials, marking the fifth and sixth consecutive successful phase 3 trials for delgocitinib (brand name: Anzupgo®) in chronic hand ezcema. Additionally, in January, LEO Pharma announced a strategic partnership with Gilead Sciences to accelerate the pre-clinical STAT6 program.
• The 2025 financial outlook for revenue growth of 6-9% (CER) and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15-18% is unchanged and confirmed.
"We have seen a good start to 2025, with encouraging progress in the ongoing launch of
Anzupgo® and key milestones achieved for our innovation pipeline. A significant highlight is
the acceleration of the STAT6 program through our new partnership with Gilead. Additionally,
the return to a positive net result marks another key milestone for the quarter, as we continue
to develop the foundations for LEO Pharma’s long-term financial strength,” says Christophe Bourdon, CEO of LEO Pharma.
