New Format of sales reporting
Previously, Sanofi reported product sales across four global business units (Specialty Care, Vaccines, General Medicines and Consumer Healthcare). Starting with Q1 2024, the format of products sales reporting will focus on Dupixent, new Pharma product launches and Vaccines.
- Pharma sales in Appendix 1 of the Q1 results press release will be split between Dupixent, Pharma launches and other products; for modelling purposes, please note that Specialty Care and General Medicines total sales will not be reported any longer as they do not reconcile with the numbers previously presented due to an internal geographic operational reorganization.
- Vaccines will be split between Influenza Vaccines, PPH and Booster Vaccines combined, RSV Vaccines and Meningitis, Travel and Endemic Vaccines.
- CHC categories have been consolidated as follows:
- Seasonal symptoms & Pain relief (includes Allergy, Cough & Cold and Pain Care)
- Wellness brands (includes Digestive Wellness, Physical and Mental Wellness)
- Others (includes Personal Care)
Tables reflecting the above changes for 2023 (2021/2023 for CHC):

- The CHC segment will include approximately €30million of expenses previously mainly allocated to Pharmaceuticals to reflect the ongoing implementation of the standalone structure.
Restated business P&L following the sale of the equity investment in Regeneron
On May 29, 2020, Sanofi announced the sale of its equity investment in Regeneron, excluding 400,000 Regeneron shares, which Sanofi is retaining, for total gross proceeds amounting to $11.7 billion. As a result of this sale, Sanofi’s Q2 2020 non-GAAP business net income statement will exclude the effect of the equity method of accounting for the Regeneron investment in the share of profit/loss of associates and joint ventures line. The effect of the equity method of accounting for the Regeneron investment up to May 29, 2020 will be presented as a reconciling item between IFRS net income and business net income. In addition, Sanofi has restated its previously reported business net income statement for 2019 by quarter and for Q1 2020.
Please find below an Excel file reflecting quarterly 2019 and Q1 2020 restated business P&Ls.
Updated Appendix 1 of all 2019 quarterly earnings press releases reflecting the new GBU structure and product reclassifications / 2019 business P&L including the effect of FRS 16 and some expenses reported differently
As previously communicated, Sanofi has changed the organizational structure of its Global Business Units (GBU) and is now structured with three core GBUs to support the company’s strategy:
- Specialty Care (Dupixent®, Multiple Sclerosis/Neurology/Other Immunology & Inflammation, Rare Disease, Oncology, Rare Blood Disorder);
- General Medicines (Diabetes, Established Products);
- Vaccines.
Consumer Healthcare (CHC) will be a standalone business unit (ongoing process) with integrated R&D and manufacturing functions.
In order to align with the new structure, for reporting purposes the new geographic breakdown will be: Europe(1), United States and Rest of the World.
The new GBU structure incorporates certain product reclassifications in:
- Oncology. A number of older oncology products(2) have been transferred to Established Products within the General Medicines GBU;
- Cardiovascular. The cardiovascular franchise(3) has been transferred to Established products within the General Medicines GBU;
- CHC. Some CHC products have been transferred to the General Medicines GBU and vice versa, resulting in an almost neutral sales impact to the two business units;
- Rare Disease. The endocrinology products(4) have been transferred to Established products within the General Medicines GBU.
In order to ensure the comparability of Sanofi’s GBU structure in 2020 versus 2019, please find below an Excel file reflecting the new GBU structure and product reclassifications: 2019 net sales by GBU, franchise, geographic region and product (Appendix 1 of the quarterly earning press release).
Please find also below an Excel file reflecting 2019 business net income statements including the effect of (i) the lease accounting standard IFRS 16(5) and (ii) some expenses reported differently in the segment information to conform with the company’s new management reporting: Medical Affairs expense is reported in the Pharmaceuticals segment (previously reported in “Others”) and other cost reallocations between Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Healthcare, Vaccines segments and “Others” including Information Technologies & Solutions, External Affairs, and Business Operations & Support activities.
1. Europe includes Israel and Ukraine
2. Zaltrap®, Mozobil®, Thymoglobulin®, Clolar®, Fludara®, Taxotere®, Eloxatin®, Campath®.
3. Praluent® and Multaq®.
4. Thyrogen®, Caprelsa®.
5. The new lease accounting standard (IFRS 16) impact mainly comes from the amortization of the lease asset recognized on a straight-line basis while the interest expense decreases over the life of the lease. IFRS 16 standard is effective as of 1 January 2019. The impact on business EPS is -2 cents in 2019.
Reconciliation of Free cash flow before restructuring as disclosed in Appendix 5 in the Q4 2018 Press Release and the Free cash flow (CMD - Capital Markets Day definition)
2018 sales with new GBU structure
As previously communicated, Sanofi changed the organizational structure of two of its Global Business Units (GBU) to provide greater focus on its operations. The company created a new Primary Care GBU that combines the product portfolios of Sanofi’s existing Diabetes and Cardiovascular (DCV) GBU with Established Products in mature markets, which was part of the General Medicines & Emerging Markets (GEM) GBU. The new Primary Care unit will focus exclusively on mature markets. In addition, Sanofi created a second new global business unit called China & Emerging Markets. The two new GBUs were launched at the beginning of 2019.
In order to ensure the comparability of Sanofi’s GBUs in 2019 versus 2018, please find below an Excel file with 2018 sales reflecting the new GBU structure.
