Financial Performance

3 Insights

Net sales increased slightly by 0.4% YoY to $698.0 million, but this includes an unfavorable foreign currency translation impact of $11.7 million. Excluding this impact, revenue would have increased by 2.1%.

Operating profit decreased by 12.9% YoY to $107.0 million. This decline is attributed to restructuring charges and increased contingent consideration expenses, as well as plant spend for additional manufacturing capacity to support the GLP-1 business.

Net income decreased from $115.3 million to $89.8 million, and diluted EPS decreased from $1.55 to $1.23. This is primarily due to the decrease in operating profit and an increase in the effective tax rate.
