*UCB reported FY23 results this morning: revenue in line with guidance, beat vs. DPe and BB CSS. Adj EBITDA margin higher than guidance and beat vs. DPe and BB CSS. Bimzelx® net sales revenues beat DPe and BB CSS. Cimzia® stable.*2024 guidance implies revenue growth but lower EBITDA margin vs. 2023 mostly due to direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing campaign in the US for BIMZELX®. 2025 guidance reiterated.*Based on these results and reiterated guidance, we will revise our estimates upwards. Buy rating reiterated. We consider UCB to be well positioned for a period of growth in the years to come.
