Roche CEO Thomas Schinecker: “Our strong sales growth in the first half of 2024 reflects the high demand for our innovative medicines and diagnostics. In the second quarter, we saw an acceleration of our growth momentum as Group sales were no longer impacted by the decline in COVID-19 sales, resulting in very strong sales growth for the Group. Based on our strong half-year results, we are raising our earnings outlook for the full year.

We also received a number of important regulatory approvals in the last three months, including EU approval for Alecensa for a form of early-stage lung cancer, as well as for the subcutaneous injection of Ocrevus, which provides an additional treatment option for multiple sclerosis. I am particularly pleased about the US approval for the ready-to-use prefilled syringe of our eye medicine Vabysmo, which continues to be our main growth driver. In diagnostics, our new Accu-Chek SmartGuide solution for continuous blood glucose monitoring uses artificial intelligence to provide reliable blood glucose level forecasts for several hours.”

Outlook for 2024 earnings raised
Roche expects an increase in Group sales in the mid single digit range (CER).

Core earnings per share are targeted to grow in the high single digit range (CER), excluding the impact from the resolution of tax disputes in 2023.

Roche expects to further increase its dividend in Swiss francs.

Group results
In the first half of 2024, Group sales were up by 5% at CER (stable in CHF) at CHF 29.8 billion. While the appreciation of the Swiss franc slowed against most currencies, it had an adverse impact on the results presented in Swiss francs compared to constant exchange rates.

Core operating profit grew by 11% (4% in CHF), driven by higher sales and cost management.

Core earnings per share increased by 9% (1% in CHF). IFRS net income was 4% lower (-11% in CHF), mainly due to the impairment of product and technology intangible assets in the research or development phase following strategic decisions. In addition, the IFRS result was impacted by the base effect of the release of provisions related to litigations in the first half of 2023.

The Pharmaceuticals Division base business grew by 8%, while divisional sales increased by 5% to CHF 22.6 billion, driven primarily by higher sales of Vabysmo (severe eye diseases), with growing demand for Phesgo (breast cancer), Ocrevus (multiple sclerosis), Polivy (blood cancer) and Evrysdi (spinal muscular atrophy). These five medicines together generated total sales of CHF 7.3 billion, an increase of CHF 1.8 billion (CER) from the first half of 2023.

The eye medicine Vabysmo, launched in early 2022, remained a major growth driver, generating sales of CHF 1.8 billion on growing demand in all regions, mainly the US.

Sales of MabThera/Rituxan, Herceptin and Avastin decreased by a combined CHF 0.4 billion (CER) as the impact of biosimilar competition slowed further. Sales of the COVID-19 medicine Ronapreve were minimal compared with CHF 0.5 billion in the first half of 2023.

In the United States, sales grew by 5% as increased sales of Vabysmo, Polivy, Ocrevus and Xolair (food allergies) were partially offset by the continued decline in sales of medicines for which patent protection has expired. Vabysmo achieved CHF 1.4 billion in sales, showing a high uptake in both new patients and patients switching from other medications.

In Europe, sales surged by 10%, driven by demand for Vabysmo in France, the UK and Germany as well as by the continued uptake of Phesgo, Ocrevus, Hemlibra (haemophilia) and Evrysdi. This was partially offset by lower sales of medicines for which patent protection has expired and of Perjeta (breast cancer) due to ongoing conversion of patients to Phesgo.

Sales in Japan were down 28%, mainly due to the base effect of the supply of Ronapreve (COVID-19) to the government in the first half of 2023. Excluding this effect, sales in Japan were 5% lower as strong demand for Phesgo was more than offset by the impact of government price cuts.

Sales in the International region increased by 17%, led by demand for Perjeta, Evrysdi, Phesgo and Tecentriq (cancer immunotherapy). Sales in China increased by 14%, driven by Perjeta, Alecensa (lung cancer), Avastin (liver cancer), Xofluza (influenza) and Polivy.

The Diagnostics Division base business grew by 9%, while divisional sales increased by 5% to CHF 7.2 billion. Immunodiagnostic products, which include cardiac, oncology and thyroid tests, were the main growth drivers (11%). Additional growth impetus came from clinical chemistry (8%), advanced staining techniques in oncology (11%) and from companion diagnostics (46%).

The continued good growth in the division’s base business was partially offset by the expected sales decline of COVID-19-related products. Sales of COVID-19 tests further declined to CHF 0.1 billion in the first half of 2024 from CHF 0.4 billion in the corresponding period last year.

Sales growth was reported across all regions, with the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region growing by 4%, North America by 5%, Asia-Pacific by 3% and Latin America by 16%.

Pharmaceuticals: key developments

CompoundMilestone
Regulatory
Susvimo
Severe eye disease		Roche to reintroduce Susvimo in the US for people with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD)
  • The FDA has approved updates to Susvimo, which will be available to US retina specialists and patients with nAMD in the coming weeks
  • Susvimo offers the first alternative to regular eye injections that are standard of care for nAMD, which impacts 20 million people worldwide and can cause blindness if left untreated
  • By continuously delivering medicine to the eye through a refillable implant, Susvimo is the first and only approved nAMD treatment shown to maintain vision with two refills a year
Vabysmo prefilled syringe
Severe eye diseases		FDA approves Vabysmo prefilled syringe (PFS) for three leading causes of vision loss
  • Vabysmo PFS is the first and only syringe prefilled with an FDA-approved bispecific antibody to treat retinal conditions that can cause blindness
  • Designed to simplify administration, Vabysmo PFS provides retina specialists a ready-to-use option
  • Vabysmo PFS will be available for people living with nAMD, DME and RVO
Vabysmo
Severe eye diseases		Vabysmo gets CHMP recommendation for third indication retinal vein occlusion (RVO)
  • Positive recommendation is based on two phase III studies. In addition to robust retinal drying with Vabysmo, these data show early and sustained vision improvements, which are non-inferior to aflibercept
  • If approved, Vabysmo would be the first and only bispecific antibody treatment available for the nearly one million people with RVO in the European Union
  • Vabysmo is already approved in the US and Japan for RVO and in more than 95 countries around the world for people living with nAMD and DME
PiaSky
Rare blood condition		CHMP recommends EU approval of PiaSky for people with PNH, a rare, life-threatening blood condition
  • If approved, PiaSky would be the first monthly subcutaneous (SC) treatment for paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) in the EU
  • Additionally, with the option of self-administration, PiaSky may provide an alternative to existing intravenous (IV) C5 inhibitors, potentially helping to reduce treatment burden
  • The recommendation is based on the results of the COMMODORE 2 study, where SC PiaSky given every month demonstrated equivalent disease control and comparable safety to IV eculizumab given every two weeks
Ocrevus
Multiple sclerosis		Ocrevus subcutaneous administration approved by European Commission as first and only twice-a-year injection for relapsing and primary progressive multiple sclerosis
  • Ocrevus subcutaneous (SC) injection offers a new, 10-minute administration of Ocrevus with comparable efficacy and safety to intravenous infusion (IV)
  • Ocrevus SC provides an additional treatment option without the need for IV facilities, expanding accessibility for patients
  • Roche is working closely with national health systems in Europe to ensure people with multiple sclerosis can access Ocrevus SC as quickly as possible
Elevidys
Duchenne muscular dystrophy		EMA has initiated review of the Elevidys Marketing Authorisation application for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)
  • If approved, Elevidys is expected to be the first and only gene therapy available in Europe to address the underlying cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
  • Elevidys is already approved in the US, Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Oman and Bahrain
Alecensa
Lung cancer
European Commission approves Alecensa as the first and only targeted adjuvant treatment for people with ALK-positive early-stage lung cancer
  • Alecensa reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death by an unprecedented 76% in people with ALK-positive resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as demonstrated in the phase III ALINA study
  • The approval of Alecensa addresses an urgent unmet need in the early-stage setting where about half of all people experience disease recurrence following surgery, despite adjuvant chemotherapy
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer can reduce the burden associated with progressive disease and give people the best possible chance of cure
Inavolisib
Breast cancer 		FDA grants priority review to inavolisib for advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation
  • Priority review recognises the best-in-class potential of the inavolisib-based regimen for patients in urgent need of new treatment options
  • Additional analyses of INAVO120 were presented in an oral abstract session at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting
  • The target action date for the FDA decision is 27 November 2024
Inavolisib
Breast cancer		FDA grants Breakthrough Therapy Designation to inavolisib for advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer with a PIK3CA mutation
  • The designation is based on phase III INAVO120 results, showing the inavolisib-based regimen more than doubled progression-free survival compared with palbociclib and fulvestrant alone in the first-line setting
  • Approximately 40% of people with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer have a PIK3CA mutation and often face poorer prognosis and resistance to endocrine treatment
  • This is the 29th Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Roche’s oncology portfolio, a testament to our enduring ambition to deliver transformative medicines for patients


Phase III, pivotal and other key readouts; data presentations
Susvimo
Severe eye disease		New data for Susvimo demonstrate sustained efficacy in two serious diabetic eye conditions
  • Two-year phase III data presented at the 2024 American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS) annual meeting show the potential of Susvimo as an alternative to eye injections to treat diabetic macular oedema (DME) and diabetic retinopathy (DR)
  • Safety data were consistent with the known safety profile for Susvimo in people with DME and DR
  • Additionally, the FDA has accepted the filing application for Susvimo in DME and DR based on one-year Pagoda and Pavilion study data
  • Susvimo is a unique therapeutic approach that provides continuous delivery of medicine to the eye through a refillable implant
Vabysmo
Severe eye diseases		Vabysmo shows extended durability, continued efficacy and a consistent safety profile in long-term diabetic macular oedema (DME) study
  • More than 90% of patients had absence of DME after four years in a pre-specified exploratory endpoint
  • People treated with Vabysmo sustained vision gains and anatomical improvements, with almost 80% receiving treatment at intervals of three or four months, in an exploratory analysis
  • The study met all primary endpoints, showing safety data were consistent with the known safety profile of Vabysmo
  • This is the largest long-term extension dataset in DME to date, demonstrating consistent positive results in a highly prevalent eye condition
CT-996
Obesity		Roche announces positive phase I results for its oral GLP-1 receptor agonist CT-996 for the treatment of people with obesity
  • After four weeks of treatment, CT-996 demonstrated clinically meaningful weight loss of -7.3% (weight loss in placebo -1.2%; p < 0.001)
  • Pharmacokinetic data support a once-daily oral dosing regimen for CT-996
  • The safety and tolerability profile was consistent with that of other oral GLP-1 receptor agonists and no unexpected safety signals were observed
Tiragolumab
Lung cancer		Update on phase II/III SKYSCRAPER-06 study in metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer
  • SKYSCRAPER-06, evaluating tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy, did not meet the primary endpoints of progression-free survival at primary analysis and overall survival at first interim analysis
  • The combination of tiragolumab plus Tecentriq and chemotherapy showed reduced efficacy compared to the comparator arm
  • Safety was consistent with previous studies; however, Roche intends to halt the trial due to reduced efficacy compared to the comparator arm
Columvi
Blood cancer		Phase III STARGLO study demonstrates Columvi significantly extends survival in people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
  • The study met its primary endpoint of overall survival with a 41% reduction in the risk of death in people with relapsed or refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with Columvi plus chemotherapy
  • This Columvi combination could provide a much-needed off-the-shelf treatment option for people with transplant-ineligible R/R DLBCL
  • Data were featured in the congress press briefing and presented in the Plenary Abstracts Session at EHA 2024 as a late-breaking oral presentation
Evrysdi
Spinal muscular atrophy		Five-year data for Evrysdi show the majority of treated children with a severe form of spinal muscular atrophy achieved or maintained the ability to sit, stand or walk
  • After five years of treatment, 91% of children were alive — without treatment, children with type 1 SMA would not be expected to live past two years of age
  • 96% of children treated with Evrysdi could swallow, 80% could feed without a feeding tube and 59% could sit without support for at least 30 seconds
  • Evrysdi is now approved in more than 100 countries with over 15,000 patients treated globally
CT-388
Obesity

 

 		Positive phase Ib results for dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist CT-388 in people with obesity
  • Over 24 weeks, a once-weekly subcutaneous injection of CT-388 achieved a clinically meaningful and statistically significant mean placebo-adjusted weight loss of 18.8% (p < 0.001)
  • At week 24, 100% of CT-388 treated participants achieved >5% weight loss, 70% achieved >15% weight loss and 45% achieved >20% weight loss
  • In a subgroup with pre-diabetes at baseline, CT-388 treatment normalised glycaemia in all patients, indicating its strong impact on glucose homoeostasis
  • No new or unexpected safety signals were detected. Overall, CT-388 demonstrated a safety and tolerability profile consistent with its drug class
