Essential products sales: €85m (+1.8% at constant exchange rates and on a reported basis)
Regulatory News:
Vetoquinol Group (Paris:VETO):
First-quarter sales of Essential products totaled 85 million euros, up+ 1.8% at constant exchange rates
Sales of Essential products in Q12025 continued to grow in all territories outside the USA. Europe, the Group's largest market, grew by over 3%, the Americas (excluding the USA) by over 4%, and Asia-Pacific/Rest of the World posted strong growth of close to 25% at constant exchange rates. The United States was down sharply, penalized by a wait-and-see market and the slower-than-expected return to normal sales of the range unavailable in 2024.
At the same time, the Group is pursuing its rationalization program for non-critical complementary ranges, which automatically led to a drop in sales of these products of around €2.0 million in Q1
In Q12025, sales of Essential products represented 65% of Vetoquinol's sales.
Overall, on a reported basis, the Group's sales for the 1st quarter of 2025 came to €131 million, compared with €134 million in the 1st quarter of the previous year.
Sales in Europe came to €69 million, in the United States to €25 million, in the Americas excluding the United States to €17 million, and in Asia/Pacific to €20 million. Sales of products for companion animals came to €94 million, stable on a reported basis, and sales for farm animal products to €37 million, down 7% on a reported basis, due in particular to the rationalization of ranges in the first quarter of 2025.
Sales for the first quarter of 2025 have not been audited by the Statutory Auditors.
