The 12.5% drop in net income attributable to shareholders was due to lower revenues in the Life Science division and currency effects, the pharmaceutical group said in a statement, adding that sales in this division fell by 13.8% to EUR 2.486 billion.

Up until March, revenues totaled EUR 5.120 billion, down 3.3% year-on-year.

Gross operating profit (EBITDA), in turn, amounted to EUR 1.385 billion, down 7.1% compared to the first quarter of 2023.

The company, headquartered in Darmstadt, Germany, also explained that the healthcare segment showed a strong performance in the first three months of this year, with turnover growing 7.5% up until March, to EUR 1.906 billion.
