“Our half year results reflect continued strong momentum, with growth across all three therapeutic areas, particularly in our rare liver disease franchise, which is expanding rapidly and progressing well,” said David Loew, Chief Executive Officer, Ipsen. “Building on that performance, I am pleased to increase our full year guidance in terms of sales and profitability.”

“I’m also delighted to report robust progression in our pipeline and portfolio, including the recent European Commission approval of Cabometyx® in advanced neuroendocrine tumors, an area where Ipsen has a strong legacy. In the second half of the year, we are anticipating the readout of our pivotal study of fidrisertib in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and the proof-of-concept trial of our long-acting neurotoxin in aesthetics. Our focused strategy, our culture of excellence in execution and our commitment to science with purpose position us to provide a positive impact for patients and society.”

Full-year 2025 guidance

Based on the strong performance in the first half, Ipsen upgrades its financial guidance for 2025:

  • Total-sales growth greater than 7.0%, at CER. Based on the average level of exchange rates in June 2025, an adverse impact on total sales of around 2% from currencies is expected



  • Core operating margin greater than 32.0% of total sales, which includes additional R&D expenses from anticipated early and mid-stage external-innovation opportunities



Guidance includes a negative impact on Somatuline sales due to a potential increased generic competition in the U.S. and Europe. It excludes any impact from potential late-stage (Phase III clinical development or later) business development transactions.

Pipeline update since Q1 2025

In May 2025, Ipsen presented data on Iqirvo® (elafibranor) from the Phase II ELMWOOD study at the European Association for the Study of the Liver congress. It showed a favorable safety profile and demonstrated dose-dependent efficacy over 12 weeks for people living with PSC5, a rare liver disease with no approved treatment options.

In June 2025, Ipsen initiated a Phase II study of LANT (IPN10200), in cervical dystonia. This marked the fourth study in the global long-acting neurotoxin development plan in therapeutics and aesthetics indications.

On 23 July 2025, Ipsen received European Commission approval for Cabometyx® (cabozantinib) in previously treated advanced neuroendocrine tumors. This approval was based on positive outcomes from the Phase III CABINET trial.
