Allergy+ strategy highlights
- Market response to the paediatric roll-out of the house dust mite (HDM) and tree pollen allergy tablets exceeds expectations. Particularly the HDM tablet for children contributed to the inflow of new patients in Q3.
- The phase 3 bridging trial with ACARIZAX® has been initiated in China. The newly formed Chinese partnership with GenSci is being operationalised to accelerate the market uptake of ALK’s HDM products.
- In October, the EURneffy® nasal adrenaline spray was launched in the UK, Europe’s largest anaphylaxis market. Additional launches in Europe are imminent.
- The US FDA has granted a Fast Track designation to the peanut SLIT-tablet development programme. The ongoing phase 2 trial is on track to report topline results in H1 2026.
2025 full-year outlook
Today, ALK upgraded the full-year outlook based on the performance in Q3 and the outlook for the remainder of the year. The changes mainly reflect the current business momentum in Europe:
- Revenue is now expected to grow by 13-15% in local currencies (previously: 12-14%), driven by growth in all sales regions and product lines. Growth will predominantly be attributable to higher volumes, as ALK expects to treat more patients with its allergy immunotherapy (AIT) and anaphylaxis products.
- The EBIT margin is now projected to improve to approximately 26% (previously: 25%), fuelled by revenue growth, gross margin improvements, and optimisations. ALK’s long-term financial earnings ambition remains unchanged.
Commenting on the Q3 results, CEO Peter Halling said: “In Q3, we saw a continued positive momentum in the execution of key strategic growth initiatives, most notably the roll-out of respiratory tablets for young children, which are ahead of plan. While still at an early stage, the children indications are increasingly contributing to growth, and we look forward to making these important treatments available to many more patients in the years ahead. This reinforces our confidence in our ability to deliver sustained, profitable growth by reaching more patients with evidence-based allergy and anaphylaxis solutions."
