Peter Bühler, Valneva’s Chief Financial Officer, commented, “2025 challenged our resilience while reaffirming the strength of our team’s disciplined execution. We remained committed to growing our commercial brands and made strong progress across our key R&D programs, despite headwinds around IXCHIQ^® and the broader geopolitical pressures. As we enter 2026, we look forward to the potentially transformative Phase 3 data readout for our Lyme disease vaccine candidate, while remaining focused on prudent capital allocation, to support shaping and growing our business in line with our strategic vision.”
