Q1 2014 Business EPS up 5.8% at CER

PRESS RELEASE
1
Q1 2014 Business EPS(1) up 5.8% at CER
 Total Group sales(2) increased 3.5% to €7,842 million while our growth platforms(3) sales grew 7.9% to €5,776
million and accounted for 73.7% of total sales in Q1 2014.
 First quarter business net income(1) and business EPS(1) were €1,547 million (+5.6% at CER) and €1.17 (+5.8%
at CER, -3.3% on a reported basis), respectively.
 Free Cash Flow after capital expenditures increased by 20.6% to €1,396 million.
 The first dengue vaccine Phase III study in Asia met its primary endpoint with a 56% reduction of dengue
disease cases.
 Positive results from the Phase III ODYSSEY MONO study with alirocumab were presented at the ACC
medical congress; we expect top line readouts from 9 additional Phase III studies by the end of Q3 2014.
 Positive Phase IIa study results evaluating dupilumab in Atopic Dermatitis were presented at the AAAAI
medical meeting. Top line Phase IIb data are anticipated to report in the second quarter followed by an
expected Phase III initiation in Q3 2014.
 The Phase III program for LixiLan, the Fixed-Ratio combination of Lantus/Lyxumia, was recently initiated.
 Genzyme is expected to resubmit the LemtradaTM sBLA for FDA review in Q2 2014.
 Chattem launched Nasacort OTC nasal spray in February 2014 while Merial launched NexGardTM, our next
generation flea and tick product, in Q1 2014 in the U.S.
 Sanofi will use the equity method to account for its 20% ownership interest in Regeneron from April 4, 2014.
 The performance of the first quarter is in line with the full year guidance announced on February 6, 2014. The
continued performance of growth platforms, expenses in new product launches and the late-stage pipeline is
expected to lead to 2014 business EPS(1) growth between 4% and 7% at CER, barring major unforeseen
adverse events.
Sanofi Chief Executive Officer, Christopher A. Viehbacher commented:
"The Group’s financial performance in the first-quarter continued the growth trajectory that emerged at the
end of 2013. Our Business EPS(1) grew 5.8% at CER which is in line with our full-year financial
guidance. Importantly, our pipeline showed steady progress. We presented study results for alirocumab,
dupilumab, initiated the LixiLan Phase III program and announced plans to resubmit the sBLA for
LemtradaTM. In addition, the first dengue vaccine Phase III study met its primary endpoint. During the next
three quarters of 2014, we expect important development milestones for multiple high potential pipeline
projects including ToujeoTM (U300), the Dengue vaccine, alirocumab, Cerdelga and dupilumab."

2014 first-quarter net sales
Unless otherwise indicated, all sales growth figures in this press release are stated at constant exchange rates(1).
In the first quarter of 2014, Sanofi generated sales of €7,842 million, a decrease of 2.7% on a reported basis.
Exchange rate movements had a negative effect of 6.2 percentage points primarily reflecting the depreciation of
the U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen, Brazilian Real, Russian Ruble, Argentine Peso, Turkish Lira and the Australian
Dollar against the Euro.
Growth Platforms
In the first quarter, sales of the Group’s growth platforms totaled €5,776 million, an increase of 7.9%, driven by
the performance of Diabetes (up 13.2%), CHC (up 18.6%), Genzyme (up 21.5%) and "Other Innovative Products"
(up 22.6%). The Group’s growth platforms accounted for 73.7% of total consolidated sales in the first quarter, up

The Diabetes division generated sales of €1,662 million in the first quarter, an increase of 13.2%. Lantus sales
were up 13.5% to €1,448 million driven by the U.S. (+14.5% to €951 million) and Emerging Markets (+17.9% to
€225 million). In the U.S., Lantus volume sell-in was down this quarter given unfavorable trade inventory
fluctuations (around €70 million). Lantus SoloSTAR represented 60.8% of total Lantus sales in the quarter in
the U.S., versus 57.0% in the first quarter of 2013. In China, Lantus sales grew 39.4% to €45 million. Sales of
Lantus in Western Europe grew 5.6% to €208 million.
Lyxumia (lixisenatide), a once-daily prandial GLP-1 receptor agonist is now available in a number of countries
such as Italy, Spain, Japan, Mexico, with additional launches expected in 2014. First-quarter sales of Lyxumia
were €5 million. In Germany, Sanofi suspended in-country distribution of lixisenatide on April 1, 2014 given
unsuccessful pricing negotiation with the National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Funds (SpiBu). An
arbitration process is ongoing and after the completion of this process, Sanofi will reassess the situation.
Sales of Apidra increased 19.7% to €75 million in the first quarter driven by Western Europe (+21.1% to €23
million) and Emerging Markets (+28.6% to €17 million).
First-quarter sales of Amaryl were stable at €86 million reflecting 6.0% growth in Emerging Markets (€65 million)
offset by generic competition in Japan where sales decreased 19.0% to €15 million.

February, Nasacort Allergy 24HR nasal spray was available over-the-counter (OTC) in the U.S. to relieve nasal
allergy symptoms. Nasacort Allergy 24HR is the first and only medicine in its class to be available at full
prescription strength without the need for a prescription. U.S. sales of Nasacort were €36 million in the first
quarter. In addition, Lactacyd and Maalox recorded double-digit growth in sales in the first quarter.
Some products previously recorded in prescription pharmaceuticals in the first quarter of 2013 were transferred
to Consumer Healthcare products and totaled €68 million. Excluding this change of perimeter, sales of CHC
grew 9.4% reflecting the success of the Nasacort Rx-to-OTC switch in the U.S. and strong performance in

In the first quarter, sales of Plavix grew 18.2% to €487 million. In Japan, sales were up 48.5% to €215 million
reflecting strong underlying volume growth and favorable buying patterns in anticipation of an increase in the
consumption tax. In Emerging Markets, sales grew 4.4% to €204 million. In China, sales reached €114 million, an
increase of 6.4%. In Western Europe, sales of Plavix decreased 4.6% to €62 million.
Sales of Lovenox were €416 million in the first quarter (up 1.4%), reflecting good performance in Western
Europe (+7.5% to €229 million), in Emerging Markets (+4.2% to €135 million) and generic pressure in the U.S.
where sales of the branded product declined 32.7% to €32 million.
First-quarter sales of Aprovel/Avapro decreased 22.8% to €179 million, due to generic competition in Western
Europe where sales decreased 45.5% to €54 million. Sales of the product in Emerging Markets were relatively

First-quarter consolidated sales of Sanofi Pasteur were €628 million, a decrease of 4.2%, reflecting a phasing
effect in Pentaxim deliveries in Emerging Markets and strong sales for Imovax in Japan and Menactra in the
previous year period. In the U.S., sales grew 23.8% to €279 million, driven by the continued gradual Pentacel
recovery. In Emerging Markets, sales were €261 million, a decrease of 15.0% due to Pentaxim phasing.
First-quarter sales of Polio/Pertussis/Hib vaccines reached €211 million, a decrease of 15.9%. The first-quarter
performance was impacted by timing of supply of Pentaxim in Mexico and China and lower sales of Imovax in
Japan due to the end of the catch-up cohort following its launch in September 2012. As expected, the first quarter
performance reflected continued gradual Pentacel recovery in the U.S.
Sales of influenza vaccines increased 19.3% to €135 million in the first quarter and included €16 million of H7N9
flu vaccines in the U.S. Sales of influenza vaccines were €21 million in the U.S., an increase of 40.0% (including

recovery of Generics (+113.3% to €52 million), strong performance of Diabetes (+25.0%) and vaccines (up
39.1%). Sales in China increased 10.3% to €377 million driven primarily by the performance of Diabetes and CHC
partially offset by lower sales of vaccines due to timing of supply of Pentaxim. Sales in Eastern Europe/Russia
and Turkey increased 4.0% to €604 million driven by Russia (+8.8% to €195 million) and Turkey (+15.5%). Sales
in Africa were €233 million, down 11.0%, reflecting changes in buying patterns and inventory policies by some

Rx-to-OTC switch.
First-quarter sales in Western Europe were stable (-0.3%) at €1,998 million, reflecting continued growth of
Diabetes (+8.3%) and Genzyme (+14.8%) offset by generic competition to Aprovel.
Sales in Japan were €587 million, a decrease of 2.5%, reflecting generic competition to Allegra, Myslee and
Amaryl and lower sales of Imovax.
R&D update
Consult Appendix 5 for full overview of Sanofi’s R&D pipeline
Regulatory update
Regulatory updates since the publication of the Full-year 2013 results on February 6, 2014 include the following:
 In April, Sanofi and its subsidiary Genzyme announced that following constructive discussions with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the company plans to resubmit in the second quarter its
supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) seeking approval of LemtradaTM (alemtuzumab) for
the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. The resubmission will provide information to
8
specifically address issues noted by the FDA in its December 2013 Complete Response Letter. Once the
filing is accepted, the FDA will assign either a two month or six month review timeframe. Genzyme had
previously announced its intention to appeal the FDA’s Complete Response Letter. In light of the planned
resubmission, the company does not expect to pursue an appeal at this time.
 In March, SAR650984, a monoclonal antibody anti-CD38, obtained a designation as an orphan medicinal
product from the European Medicines Agency for the treatment of myeloma.
 In February, the European Commission approved NexGardTM (afoxolaner) for the treatment of flea and
tick infestations in dogs. NexGardTM can also be used as part of a treatment strategy for the control of
Flea Allergy Dermatitis.
At the end of April 2014, the R&D pipeline contained 50 projects (excluding Life Cycle Management) and vaccine
candidates in clinical development of which 12 are in Phase III or have been submitted to the health authorities
for approval.
Portfolio update
Phase III:
 Sanofi Pasteur announced in April that the first of two pivotal Phase III efficacy studies with its dengue
vaccine candidate has achieved its primary clinical endpoint. The efficacy study showed a significant
reduction of 56% of dengue disease cases. Initial safety data are consistent with the good safety profile
observed in previous studies. Full analysis of the data will be undertaken in the coming weeks and
reviewed by external experts prior to disclosure at an upcoming international scientific congress and
publication in a peer-reviewed journal later this year. The results of this first, large-scale efficacy study will
be further complemented by results in the third quarter of 2014 from a second, large-scale study currently
conducted in Latin America, including more than 20,000 volunteers.
 The first full data results from the Phase III ODYSSEY MONO study with alirocumab, an investigational
monoclonal antibody targeting PCSK9 (collaboration with Regeneron), were presented at the American
College of Cardiology’s 63rd Annual Scientific Session held in March. ODYSSEY is the global Phase III
trial program for investigational compound alirocumab. ODYSSEY currently comprises 14 clinical trials
enrolling more than 23,500 patients with hypercholesterolemia. We expect to report additional top-line
Phase III data, beginning in June 2014 through the third quarter of 2014. All ongoing Phase III studies
that are part of the ODYSSEY program are now fully enrolled (except ODYSSEY OUTCOMES).
 The filing of alirocumab in hypercholesterolemia in EU is expected in the fourth quarter of 2014.
 In April, Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that the first Phase II study with
alirocumab in Japanese patients met its primary endpoint. The results demonstrated that the mean lowdensity
lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C, or "bad" cholesterol) percentage reduction from baseline to week
12, the primary efficacy endpoint of the study, was significantly greater in patients randomized to receive
one of three doses of alirocumab administered every other week (Q2W) – 150 milligrams (mg), 75 mg,
and 50 mg, in combination with statin therapy, compared to patients receiving placebo. The Phase III
program has now started in Japan.
 The Phase III program for LixiLan, the Fixed-Ratio combination of Lantus/Lyxumia, was recently
initiated.
Phase II:
 ALN-TTRsc/SAR438714 (collaboration with Alnylam) is in Phase II development for the treatment of
Familial Amyloidotic Cardiomyopathy (FAC). Furthermore, in April, the European Medicines Agency
(EMA) Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products adopted a positive opinion recommending ALN-TTRsc
for designation as an orphan medicinal product.
 In March, at the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Annual Meeting held in San
Diego, positive data from a Phase IIa trial evaluating dupilumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting
the IL-4Rα subunit, administered for 12 weeks in patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis
poorly controlled by topical agents were presented. At 12 weeks, the dupilumab group achieved
statistically superior clinical outcomes compared to the placebo group in all measures of disease activity
and pruritus. Updated data including a follow-up assessment up to 78 days from a smaller Phase II trial
evaluating dupilumab co-administered with topical steroid (TCS) treatment were also presented. Relative
9
to TCS alone, concomitant treatment with dupilumab and TCS provided marked, sustained, and
significant improvement in clinical efficacy measures, despite use of less TCS.
 Sanofi has decided not to pursue the development of SAR 339658, an anti-VLA 2 monoclonal antibody,
in ulcerative colitis and will instead focus on evaluating the use of this compound in multiple sclerosis by
initiating a clinical Phase II study.
 The development of SAR3419 in Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia has been discontinued.
Phase I:
 Sanofi has decided not to exercise the licence option for RetinoStat.
New Collaborations:
In March, Sanofi and UCB announced they had entered into a scientific and strategic collaboration for the
discovery and development of innovative anti-inflammatory small molecules, which have the potential to treat a
wide range of immune-mediated diseases in areas such as gastroenterology and arthritis. UCB NewMedicines,
the research arm of UCB, has used an innovative approach to identify small molecule modulators of a biological
pathway, for which parenterally administered biologic therapies have proven highly efficacious in patients. A
dedicated team of scientists will be formed under the leadership of Sanofi and UCB, and will join forces in a
discovery and development based collaboration to characterize and identify new potential therapies.
Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccines division of Sanofi, announced in March a long-term strategic cooperation with SK
Chemical Co. to co-develop an innovative pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) with enhanced serotype
coverage. This agreement will enable Sanofi Pasteur to access the global PCV market of $4 billion. The World
Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of PCVs in all countries.
First-quarter 2014 financial results
Business Net Income(1)
In the first quarter, Sanofi net sales reached €7,842 million, a decrease of 2.7% on a reported basis (+3.5% at
constant exchange rates). Other revenues were €83 million, a decrease of 15.3% reflecting the end of royalties
on Enbrel sales in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2013.
First-quarter Gross profit was €5,409 million, down 3.6% and up 2.8% at constant exchange rates. The ratio of
cost of sales to net sales (CoS ratio) reached 32.1%, an increase of 0.5 percentage points versus the first quarter
of 2013. This reflects a CoS ratio improvement for Pharmaceuticals (positive impact of 0.4 percentage points at
CER on the variation of the Group CoS ratio) but a dilutive impact of Vaccines and Animal Health (negative
impact of 0.3 percentage points at CER on the variation of the Group CoS ratio for each) as well as unfavorable
currency variations.
Research and Development expenses decreased 1.6% to €1,139 million. At constant exchange rates, Research
and Development expenses increased slightly by 1.1% reflecting investment in the late-stage portfolio.
In the first quarter, selling and general expenses were €2,078 million, down 2.9%. At constant exchange rates,
SG&A increased 2.5% reflecting investments in product launches (Aubagio, LemtradaTM, Nasacort OTC,
NexGardTM). The ratio of selling and general expenses to net sales was 26.5% versus 26.6% in the first quarter of
2013
Other current operating income net of expenses was -€25 million in the first quarter versus €29 million in the
first quarter of 2013 which included payments (€38 million) from Warner Chilcott related to Actonel in the U.S. In
the first quarter of 2014, this line included additional provisions related to ramipril litigation in Canada (€24
million).
The share of profits from associates was €13 million versus €18 million in the first quarter of 2013, while noncontrolling
interests decreased 14.6% to -€35 million.

equity holders of Sanofi
10
Business operating income was €2,145 million, a decrease of 7.6%. At constant exchange rates, business
operating income grew 0.6%. The ratio of business operating income to net sales was 27.4%.
Net financial expenses were €76 million, compared to €140 million in the first quarter of 2013 and included a
capital gain of €41 million linked to the partial sale of a financial investment.
The first-quarter effective tax rate was 25%.
First-quarter business net income(1) was €1,547 million, a decrease of 3.2% and an increase of 5.6% at constant
exchange rates.
In the first quarter of 2014, Business earnings per share(1) (EPS) were €1.17, down 3.3% and up 5.8% on a
reported basis and at constant exchange rates, respectively. The average number of shares outstanding was
1,319.9 million this quarter versus 1,322.2 million in the first quarter of 2013.
From business net income to consolidated net income (see Appendix 3)
In the first quarter of 2014, the main reconciling items between business net income and consolidated net income
attributable to equity holders of Sanofi were:
– A €677 million amortization charge related to fair value remeasurement on intangible assets of acquired
companies (primarily Aventis: €257 million, Genzyme: €234 million and Merial €97 million) and to acquired
intangible assets (licenses/products: €20 million). This item has no cash impact on the Group.
– An impairment loss against intangible assets of €3 million. This item has no cash impact on the Group.
– A charge of €8 million mainly reflecting an increase in the fair value of contingent considerations related to
the CVRs (-€5 million) and Bayer contingent considerations (€12 million) linked to LemtradaTM .
– €51 million of restructuring costs mainly related to continuation of transformation in Europe and in the U.S.
– €35 million gain on Alnylam shares. This item has no cash impact on the Group.
– A €248 million tax effect arising from the items listed above, comprising €244 million generated by
amortization charged against intangible assets and €15 million associated with restructuring costs. (see
Appendix 3).
– In "Share of profits/losses from associates", a charge of €8 million, net of tax, mainly relating to the share
of amortization of intangible assets. This item has no cash impact on the Group.
Net Debt
In the first quarter of 2014, net cash generated by operating activities was €1,396 million after changes in working
capital (-€29 million) and capital expenditures (€279 million) but before restructuring costs. This amount largely
covered restructuring costs (€244 million), the repurchase of shares (€355 million), acquisitions and partnerships
(€1,556 million of which €954 million related to Regeneron and €530 million related to Alnylam). As a
consequence, net debt increased from €6,043 million at December 31, 2013 to €6,697 million at the end of March
2014 (amount net of €6,458 million cash and cash equivalents).

Appendix 6: Definitions of non-GAAP financial indicators
Net sales at constant exchange rates (CER)
When we refer to changes in our net sales "at constant exchange rates" (CER), this means that we exclude
the effect of changes in exchange rates.
We eliminate the effect of exchange rates by recalculating net sales for the relevant period at the exchange
rates used for the previous period.
Reconciliation of reported net sales to net sales at constant exchange rates for the first quarter of 2013
€ million Q1 2014
Net sales 7,842
Effect of exchange rates 497
Net sales at constant exchange rates 8,339
Net sales on a constant structure basis
We eliminate the effect of changes in structure by restating prior-period net sales as follows:
 by including sales from the acquired entity or product rights for a portion of the prior period equal to
the portion of the current period during which we owned them, based on sales information we
receive from the party from whom we make the acquisition;
 similarly, by excluding sales in the relevant portion of the prior period when we have sold an entity
or rights to a product;
 for a change in consolidation method, by recalculating the prior period on the basis of the method
used for the current period.
Business net income
Sanofi publishes a key non-GAAP indicator. This indicator "Business net income", replaced "adjusted net
income excluding selected items".
Business net income is defined as net income attributable to equity holders of Sanofi excluding:
 amortization of intangible assets,
 impairment of intangible assets,
 fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities related to business combinations,
 other impacts associated with acquisitions (including impacts of acquisitions on associates),
 restructuring costs(1),
 other gains and losses (including gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets(1)),
 costs or provisions associated with litigation(1),
 tax effects related to the items listed above as well as effects of major tax disputes.
 The effects of major tax disputes, the tax on dividends distributed to Sanofi shareholders
(1) Reported in the line items Restructuring costs and Gains and losses on disposals, and litigation, which are defined in Note B.20. to our
consolidated financial statements.

UK pharmaceutical firm Nova Laboratories has secured U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) product Xaluprine, following a New Drug Application to the organisation in July 2013 (Press release Nova Laboratories, APR 29, 2014, View Source [SID:1234501265]).

The drug, which will be marketed in the US as Purixan, is a 20mg/ml oral suspension of existing ALL treatment mercaptopurine, which, prior to Xaluprine and Purixan has only been available in tablet form.

It was developed by Nova to meet a need for greater dosing accuracy and improved palatability for children, and has been designated orphan drug status by the FDA – given to products intended for the treatment of rare diseases or conditions.

Mercaptopurine has been available as a 50mg tablet for many years, but because the dose has to be adjusted according to body surface area, it has always been extremely difficult for parents or carers to administer an accurate dose to young children.

The oral suspension offers more consistent absorption than the tablet and allows doses to be individualised to an accuracy of 2mg. It is also easier for young patients to swallow and the natural raspberry flavour ensures good palatability, its makers claim.

The approval was based on clinical pharmacology research to assess the bioequivalence of mercaptopurine tablets with that of the oral suspension version.

The product will now be distributed throughout the US by Rare Disease Therapeutics Inc.

Dr Stephen Hunger, chairman of the Children’s Oncology Group ALL Disease Committee, Professor and Ergen Family Chair in Paediatric Cancer, and Director at the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, said:

"ALL therapy includes 6-mercaptopurine taken orally every day for 2-3 years. Until now, the only FDA approved formulation of this drug available in the US has been pills, which can be very hard for young children to take. This oral-suspension formulation should be much easier for young children to take and help parents to make sure that their children get the treatment that they need to cure ALL".

On April 28, 2014, in a written announcement to Clinical Oncologists, the US Food and Drug administration said: "Compared to tablets, a suspension offers the advantage of more accurately delivering the desired dose to children with a wide range of weights using a consistent administration schedule. A suspension will allow more flexibility in adjusting the dose" and that "a commercially produced suspension is more likely to provide a more consistent dose of 6-mercaptopurine than ad hoc compounded formulations. "

Dr Hussain Mulla, head of clinical development for Nova said: "From our point of view we’re hugely proud that, thanks to this FDA approval, our product will contribute towards improved treatment of childhood cancer across the globe.

"We feel very privileged to be one of only a handful of UK-based companies to secure FDA approval of a new medicine, and for this to have been achieved with our first ever licensed product is especially pleasing."

The FDA approved 95 New Drug Applications in 2013 – only nine of which were submitted by UK-based firms including four by GlaxoSmithKine.

Traditionally a contract manufacturer on behalf of larger pharmaceutical firms, Nova first launched Xaluprine – its maiden licensed product – in Europe in 2012 following marketing authorisation from the European Commission.

Dr Mulla added: "Following success in Europe, we’re now looking to develop further worldwide markets to help children living with this disease."

Bristol-Myers Squibb Reports First Quarter 2014 Financial Results

In April 2014, the company initiated a rolling submission with the FDA for Opdivo in third-line pre-treated squamous cell NSCLC and expects to complete the submission by year-end (Press release Bristol-Myers Squibb, APR 29, 2014, View Source [SID:1234500640]).
