The agreement paves the way for the two companies to partner on up to five biosimilar assets. The first asset will be a vedolizumab biosimilar, which is in early-stage development. The reference medicine, Entyvio* (vedolizumab), is used to treat adult patients with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or pouchitis2,3.

Under the terms of the agreement, Sandoz will have exclusive rights to commercialize globally, except in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and Republic of Korea. Samsung Bioepis will be responsible for development, regulatory submissions in key markets and manufacturing. Both companies have agreed to keep the financial details of the agreement confidential.

The partnership could expand the leading Sandoz pipeline to up to 32 assets and reinforces its commitment to capturing a significant share of the projected global biosimilar loss-of-exclusivity market opportunity, estimated at around USD 320 billion over the next decade1.

Richard Saynor, Chief Executive Officer, Sandoz, said: "This partnership underscores our unwavering commitment to expanding access to affordable, high-quality medicines for patients worldwide. It is another important step toward capitalizing on the unprecedented biosimilar market opportunity over the next decade while also strengthening our partnership with Samsung Bioepis."

Today’s news builds on the successful global partnership between the two companies first established in September 2023 for Pyzchiva (ustekinumab), which Sandoz launched in Europe in July 2024 and in the US in February 2025. The Pyzchiva collaboration is unaffected by the partnership announced today. In December 2025, the companies also signed an agreement for the commercialization of Epysqli, a biosimilar to eculizumab (Soliris**), for the Middle East and Africa region.

Sandoz continues to develop its leading pipeline of biosimilar medicines, building on its experience as the pioneer and global leader with a portfolio of 13 molecules available in nearly 100 countries.

Rob Koremans, Chief Executive Officer of Recordati, commented: "2025 was another year of solid progress across the business, reflecting the strength of our execution. We delivered once again on our financial targets despite a challenging macroenvironment, including increased FX headwinds. During the year, we further strengthened our portfolio through strategic partnerships in both Rare Diseases and Specialty and Primary Care. There is excellent momentum in Rare Diseases, which continues to be a key driver of growth and value creation for the Group. We are excited by Isturisa’s opportunity to address the broader Cushing’s syndrome market, with uptake accelerating in the U.S. With such a strong foundation in place, we expect 2026 to be another year of disciplined execution as we continue to deliver on our strategic objectives, maintain sector-leading margins and create sustainable value for all our stakeholders."

Financial highlights

Consolidated net revenue for full year 2025 was € 2,618.4 million, up 11.8% versus full year 2024 or 8.3% on a like-for-like(3) basis at CER, driven by solid contribution from both Specialty & Primary Care and Rare Diseases. The adverse FX impact for full year 2025 was € 64.2 million (-2.7%).
Specialty & Primary Care revenue was € 1,477.9 million for full year 2025, up 2.0% or 3.8% on a like-for-like basis(3) at CER (+1.6% excluding Türkiye). This reflects continued positive performance of all core therapeutic areas (promoted product evolution index of 105), despite a slight slowdown in relevant market growth. In particular, the Urology and Cardiovascular franchises grew 2.5% and 2.8%, respectively, while the Gastrointestinal franchise grew 9.9%, driven by the strong in-market performance of several products in the portfolio, both prescription and OTC.
Rare Diseases revenue was € 1,081.4 million for full year 2025, up 29.7% as compared to full year 2024, or 16.6% on a like-for-like(3) basis at CER, driven by strong volume growth across all three franchises. The Endocrinology franchise achieved net revenue of € 394.1 million, an increase of 22.5%, reflecting an acceleration of new patient uptake of Isturisa in the U.S. in the second half of 2025 with approximately 1,400 net active patients at the end of the year, as well as double-digit growth of Signifor. The Hema-Oncology franchise achieved net revenue of € 414.9 million, growing by 63.8%, reflecting the contribution of Enjaymo of € 146.3 million (+26.7% vs full year 2024 proforma(6)), and driven by strong growth of Sylvant and Qarziba. The Metabolic franchise achieved net revenue of € 272.5 million, sustaining mid-single digit growth of 5.2%, driven by Carbaglu and Panhematin.
Adjusted operating income(7) was € 774.9 million for full year 2025, up 13.2% over full year 2024, and 29.6% of net revenue versus 29.2% in the previous year. Operating income was € 670.8 million for full year 2025, up 5.0% over full year 2024, absorbing gross margin-related non-cash charges of € 66.8 million as compared to € 37.5 million for full year 2024, arising from the unwind of the fair value step up of acquired Rare Diseases inventory including € 62.5 million for Enjaymo. Non-recurring costs were € 37.3 million for full year 2025, versus € 8.0 million for full year 2024. These costs reflect primarily the continued optimization of the Specialty and Primary Care commercial organization, mainly in Italy and Spain. The non‑recurring costs also include a one‑off provision of €12.8 million(8) related to the settlement of a litigation case with AIFA concerning prior years payback for Urorec. Additionally, non‑recurring items include the impact of the ongoing voluntary liquidation of the Rare Diseases subsidiary in China, following the rejection of the National Reimbursement Drug List approval for Isturisa. The availability of Qarziba and Sylvant in the territory continues to be provided through a local distributor.
EBITDA(1) was € 991.1 million for full year 2025, up 14.5% compared to full year 2024, with margin on net revenue of 37.8%. The improvement over the prior year was driven by a positive business mix and strong operating performance across both business units, despite the significant foreign exchange headwinds and higher investments to support the U.S. launch of the expanded Isturisa label, the continued development of Enjaymo and ongoing geographic expansion in Rare Diseases.
Financial expenses were € 89.5 million for full year 2025, down by € 2.1 million as compared to full year 2024. New loans obtained in 2024, related to the acquisition of Enjaymo, and in 2025 led to an increase in interest expenses of € 17.4 million. Net exchange gains over the period were € 15.0 million (mainly unrealized and driven by the devaluation of the U.S. dollar), against net FX losses of € 9.3 million in FY 2024. This was partly offset by € 5.3 million of net monetary losses from hyperinflation accounting (compared to a loss of € 6.7 million in full year 2024) mainly driven by the net effect of the revaluation of Turkish balance sheet items.
Adjusted Net Income was € 651.1 million, 24.9% of revenue, up by 14.5% compared to full year 2024. This growth reflects improvements in adjusted operating income as well as lower financial expenses partially offset by higher income taxes.
Net income was € 443.6 million, 16.9% of revenue, increasing by 6.5% versus full year 2024, mainly driven by the higher operating income and lower financial expenses.
Free cash flow(4) was € 558.8 million for full year 2025, an increase of € 23.7 million versus full year 2024, with strong EBITDA partially offset by higher working capital absorption (mainly driven by higher U.S. inventory levels), higher interests and income tax paid.
Net debt(5) as of December 31, 2025 was € 2,037.3 million, or leverage of just below 2.1x EBITDA, compared to net debt of € 2,154.3 million on December 31, 2024, following dividend payments of € 267.6 million, treasury shares purchased for € 112.5 million (net of proceeds from exercising stock options), the upfront payment for Vazkepa rights of USD 25 million and the upfront payment for Inrebic rights of USD 11 million.
Shareholders’ equity was € 1,919.8 million.
Pipeline Update

On April 15, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the supplemental new drug application (sNDA) for Isturisa (osilodrostat) for the treatment of endogenous hypercortisolemia in adults with Cushing’s syndrome for whom surgery is not an option or has not been curative. This was an expansion of the previous indication for the treatment of patients with Cushing’s disease, which is a sub-type of Cushing’s syndrome. The Isturisa indication expansion was supported by the extensive Isturisa clinical development program, which included over 350 patients. In addition, during the second quarter of 2025, Isturisa was granted regulatory approval in both Canada and Russia. A Phase IV study to assess the efficacy and safety of osilodrostat in adults with mild hypercortisolemia and uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) due to Cushing’s syndrome is expected to start in 2026.

During the second quarter of 2025, an investigator-sponsored clinical trial (IST) was initiated to investigate the safety, dose and early signs of effect for dinutuximab beta (Qarziba) in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with GD2-positive Ewing sarcoma.

On July 28, 2025, the European Commission issued a positive decision and granted marketing authorization, under exceptional circumstances, for Maapliv, a solution of amino acids intended for the treatment of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) presenting with an acute decompensation episode in patients from birth who are not eligible for an oral and enteral branched-chain amino acids (BCAA)-free formulation.

The Company completed enrollment of the pasireotide Phase 2 trial for the treatment of post-bariatric hypoglycemia in August 2025. Top-line results are expected in the second quarter of 2026.

Following the meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in early September, a potential U.S. biologics license application (BLA) pathway was established with the FDA for Qarziba requiring an additional set of clinical data from the ongoing BEACON-2 investigator-sponsored trial. Results of the interim analysis are expected in the first half of 2028 and are expected to form the basis, together with existing clinical data, for a potential regulatory filing.

On January 5, 2026, the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) granted marketing authorization for Eligard for the treatment of hormone dependent advanced prostate cancer and for the treatment of high-risk localized and locally advanced hormone dependent prostate cancer in combination with radiotherapy.

The other lifecycle management programs are progressing in line with plans.

Corporate Development

On June 24, 2025, Recordati announced a licensing and supply agreement with Amarin to commercialize the marketed cardiovascular medicine, Vazkepa (icosapent ethyl) across 59 countries, focused in Europe. Vazkepa is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in statin-treated adult patients at high cardiovascular risk with elevated triglycerides and either established cardiovascular disease or diabetes with at least one other cardiovascular risk factor. Vazkepa is expected to achieve over € 40 million in revenues in 2027 and to be EBITDA positive from 2026. Under the terms of the agreement, Recordati paid Amarin an upfront cash payment of USD 25 million.

On December 17, 2025, Recordati announced the exclusive license agreement with Impact Biomedicines, Inc., a Bristol Myers Squibb subsidiary, and the related supply agreement with Celgene Logistics Sàrl to commercialize Inrebic (fedratinib dihydrochloride monohydrate) in Japan. Impact Biomedicines, Inc. will retain exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Inrebic in the rest of the world. Inrebic is an oral kinase inhibitor with activity against wild-type and mutationally activated JAK2 to suppress the pathological features of myelofibrosis patients.

Inrebic received regulatory approval from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) in Japan in June 2025 for the treatment of myelofibrosis and is expected to launch in mid 2026. Under the terms of the agreement, Recordati paid Impact Biomedicines, Inc. an upfront payment of USD 11 million.

On January 29, 2026, Recordati announced a collaboration and license agreement with Moderna to develop and commercialize worldwide mRNA-3927, an investigational product for the treatment of propionic acidemia (PA). Under the terms of the agreement, Moderna will continue to lead the development of mRNA-3927, in collaboration with Recordati, and if approved, Recordati will lead global commercialization. mRNA-3927 is a post proof-of-concept, investigational product aimed to restore propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) enzyme activity in patients with propionic acidemia. If approved, this could be the first disease-modifying treatment option on the market for this severe disease. mRNA-3927 is currently being evaluated in a potential registrational clinical study. The target patient enrollment has been reached, with a potential data readout expected by the end of 2026.

Under the terms of the agreement, Recordati will pay Moderna an upfront payment of USD 50 million and up to an additional USD 110 million in near-term development and regulatory milestones. Moderna is also eligible to receive commercial and sales milestones, as well as tiered royalties on annual net sales. Recordati does not expect any significant impact on its EBITDA prior to a potential launch.

CoRegen, Inc. Publishes Promising New Data Highlighting SRC-3 Engineered Regulatory T Cells as New Immunotherapy Platform

On March 17, 2026 CoRegen, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company pursuing novel treatments for patients impacted by some of the most aggressive forms of cancer, reported the publication of research conducted at the Baylor College of Medicine describing how the disruption of steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3) expression in regulatory T cells (Treg cells) can reprogram the tumor immune microenvironment and enable the immune system to eliminate multiple solid tumors. The article, titled, "Steroid receptor coactivator 3-deficient regulatory T cells eradicate multiple solid tumors in syngeneic mouse models," was published in the open access, peer-reviewed journal, OncoImmunology. One of the lead researchers, Sang Jun Han, PhD, Director of Lab Research, CoRegen, describes how selectively eliminating SRC-3 in Treg cells reprograms their function, shifting them from immunosuppressive regulators to promoters of anti-tumor immunity without inducing immune-related toxicities, a finding demonstrated across multiple preclinical tumor models including breast cancer, glioblastoma, melanoma, and lung cancer.

SRC-3 co-regulates cell behavior that controls immune response. When knocked out, the expression of several genes involved in Treg signaling is altered, ultimately enhancing the immune system’s ability to combat cancer without causing pathological autoimmune reactions. This unique mechanism of action allows immune effector cells to recognize, attack, and kill cancer by allowing CD8+, CD4+ and NK tumor-killing effector cells to infiltrate into tumors. The SRC-3 engineered Treg cells block pathogenic tumor-protective transcriptional programs in the Treg cell, thereby altering the tumor microenvironment in a way that supports tumor destruction by the patient’s own immune system.

"We are delighted to have these findings that support our SRC-3 technology published in such a well-respected journal," said Suneet Varma, Chairman of the Board, CoRegen. "This research highlights a powerful new way to harness the immune system against cancer by reprogramming Treg cells so that tumors cannot evade immune attack. If these findings translate to patients, engineering SRC-3 disrupted Treg cells could represent a watershed moment for therapies capable of eradicating multiple, difficult-to-treat cancers while avoiding many of the immune-related side effects seen with current immunotherapies."

David Lonard, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of CoRegen and Professor of Molecular & Cell Biology at the Baylor College of Medicine, added, "This publication provides important proof-of-concept data showing that selectively targeting SRC-3 in Treg cells can reprogram the tumor microenvironment to drive potent anti-tumor activity. The eradication and durable immune protection observed across multiple solid tumor models strongly support the translational potential of CoRegen’s lead program."

CoRegen remains on track to submit an investigational new drug application (IND) for its lead candidate in Spring 2026 and initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial thereafter.

The proceeds will be used to advance iDEL Therapeutics’ two proprietary lead programs towards clinical evaluation. Leveraging different modalities with the potential to address a range of solid tumors, the pipeline candidates are based on the company’s proprietary shuttling technology. This pan-cancer platform enables evasion of endosomal entrapment and prevents subsequent degradation of the transported compound, a factor that can impair drug delivery and treatment efficacy, particularly for large molecules such as antibodies and their derivatives.

"iDEL Therapeutics’ concept to unlock new cancer treatments represents an exciting new opportunity with the potential to significantly impact the oncology landscape," said Marcus Kostka, PhD, Co-Founder and CEO of iDEL Therapeutics. "Our technology’s broad applicability to a range of drug classes harbors the potential to improve treatment outcomes for patients living with a range of high-need cancer indications. Together with the leadership team, I look forward to expanding our preclinical proof-of-concept data, advancing our lead candidates toward the clinic and exploring additional possibilities for improved cancer treatments."

Concurrent with the financing, iDEL Therapeutics announced its leadership team which combines decades of expertise in biopharma, drug development and company building.

"Despite continuous advancements and a deeper understanding of cancer in our industry, current treatment options still face challenges related to on-target specificity and achieving a durable anti-tumor effect," said Aristotelis Nastos, PhD, Managing Partner and Investment Director at BiomedVC. "We believe that iDEL Therapeutics’ differentiated strategy has the potential to address these limitations by improving intracellular delivery, increasing target engagement and prolonging tumor retention. With an exceptional leadership team and a cutting-edge technology, the company is well positioned to advance this new therapeutic approach to deliver meaningful clinical benefit for cancer patients, and we fully support the team on this journey."
