Adjustment of 2025 full-year financial targets
Villepinte, 15 September 2025, 5.45 p.m.: Guerbet (FR0000032526 GBT), a global specialist in contrast agents and solutions for medical imaging, is announcing a downward revision to its financial targets for full-year 2025.
Business activity in France continues to be impacted by supply reforms. In the United States, an unfavourable shift in the customer mix, with distributors representing a higher proportion of sales and ongoing pricing pressures has added to these challenges. Further compounding the situation was a technical issue, now resolved, that occurred during the restart of operations at the Raleigh site following routine maintenance. These factors have collectively contributed to a contraction in growth and profitability for the Group in the current year.
As a result, Guerbet's management is revising its guidance for the full year 2025 as follows:
- Revenue is now expected to decline slightly by approximately 1% at constant exchange rates and on a like-for-like basis, compared to the previously anticipated growth of 3-5%.
- Restated EBITDA margin is now forecast to be in the range of 12-13%, down from the earlier guidance of "above 15%."
- Free cash flow is expected to be slightly negative, whereas the prior outlook had called for a positive result.
In response to these headwinds, management has already implemented measures to safeguard product availability, reinforce sales discipline, and optimise costs, with a keen focus on cash generation.
Despite the current challenges, the Group remains confident in its long-term prospects, underpinned by a diversified product portfolio and strong positions in attractive international markets. The ongoing ramp-up of Elucirem and accelerating momentum for Lipiodol® in interventional imaging are expected to support a return to growth.
