In 2019, group sales decreased 7.8 %, hard hit by the 12.6 % drop in sales of non-proprietary and specialty medicines in France, where homeopathy is under public attack, and the government has announced a progressive end to reimbursement of homeopathic medications.

The decrease in sales in Europe (Spain, Poland, Belgium, and Romania) was partially offset by increased sales in Italy and Russia following an overhaul of the product offer.

The ongoing series of virulent and unjustified attacks on homeopathy in France, which is Boiron's biggest market, and Spain will seriously affect 2019 operating income, which is expected to be significantly lower than in 2018.

Naturally, we continue to resolutely pursue our efforts to obtain continued reimbursement of homeopathic treatments by the French national health insurance scheme. The current 15% reimbursement rate keeps these medications affordable for millions of patients, with no negative impact on the national health insurance scheme or their purchasing power.

We remain committed to obtaining recognition of these medications' benefits and effectiveness for patients and public health.
