Investor presentation summary
28 Oct, 2026Financial performance and outlook
1Q25 consolidated sales were KRW 841.9bn, up 14.2% YoY; biologics sales rose 17.9% to KRW 767.6bn, while non-biologics sales fell 13.4% to KRW 74.3bn.
1Q25 operating profit was KRW 149.4bn, up 870.1% YoY, with an 17.7% margin versus 2.1% in 1Q24; improvement reflected completed merger-related sales-rights amortization and better inventory and sales mix.
Young products generated KRW 347.2bn in 1Q25, up 62% YoY, and represented 45% of biologics sales; their expected share of FY25 revenue is over 60%.
FY25 sales forecast is KRW 5tn, up 40%+ YoY; 1H sales are expected to be moderate and 2H strong, led by young products and new launches.
High-cost inventory declined from 80% post-merger to 30% in 1Q25; COGS ratio is projected in the high-20% to low-30% range by 4Q25, supported by inventory depletion and full-scale production.
Global commercial update
Remsima SC reached 25% market share in EU5 in 4Q24, with prescription growth also reported in non-EU5 markets; US Zymfentra prescriptions were rising steadily.
Global Yuflyma sales increased 1.8x YoY, supported by country-specific EU strategies and a dual-WAC strategy in the US.
Vegzelma global sales grew 1.7x YoY, with leading market share in Europe and prescription growth in North America.
